Reinventing the Millennium

After flying all the way south from Qindao to Beijing and then to Xi'an, Fang Zhuo and his party received the warmest official reception when they arrived in Yangcheng.

However, although Yangcheng's economy is developed, it is indeed lacking in the semiconductor field.

On a deeper level, it can be said that the Pearl River Delta is not as good as the Yangtze River Delta in this regard.

This first day of reception in Yangcheng included friends from the province, localities, enterprises, and the investment community.

According to investment friends, even if they invest in companies here, many of them take the initiative or are poached to the Yangtze River Delta.

Shanghai, Luzhou, Suzhou, Wuxi and other places have come together to form a strong industrial chain under the leadership of Bingxin, SMIC, Huahong and other companies, which is deeply attractive to emerging semiconductor companies.

Local convenience policies are also complementary to the industrial environment, coupled with issues such as production capacity scheduling and packaging convenience, forming a development trend where the strong get stronger.

The ice core landed in Luzhou, directly establishing a national semiconductor industry base. This made many people unexpected and beat their chests.

If Shencheng is ranked first because of its relationship with Mr. Fang, then Yangcheng is ranked second.

Because, when Ice Core was conducting city selection in the early stage, Yangcheng had a very lively discussion with Mr. Fang, and they almost had to confirm the ownership of the project. At that time, the slogan "Let this project become SMIC of Yangcheng" was shouted.

1.3 billion, 5+5 tax and other conditions, this rich and handsome man in Yangcheng is extremely generous.

However, in the end, it was the one who was betrayed by Luzhou who gave her more favorable conditions, coupled with the sincerity of "as long as you want it, as long as I have it", to win love with a knife.

From 2003 to 2010, 7 years of patient hard work. This is a characteristic that many cities noticed when analyzing the Luzhou case. They need to give the semiconductor industry more patience and more lasting investment.

Of course, you also have to choose the right person.

We must choose the kind of person who can occupy the richest man's position for many years and still remain standing.

Qindao Collaborative Laboratory, Jingcheng Meeting Leaders and Running Research Institute, and Xi'an preparing a new production line. Even though Fang Zhuo kept a low profile on his activities in the three cities, news from the industry still spread.

This is Bingxin, and this is Mr. Fang, who wants to make new moves at the industrial level!

On this occasion, Yangcheng's enthusiasm is not outdated at all and is even more enthusiastic than it was seven years ago.

Because, Semiconductor is really a hero who faces difficulties and obstacles but exerts his strength in the later stage.

Because Ice Core has spent seven years overcoming difficulties and obstacles, and now it is necessary to scale up the industry, and the Pearl River Delta is still in a very good location.

Taking a step back, OK, OK, OK, OK, OK, OK, Bingxin has a deep foundation in Luzhou. In Shanghai, it is backed by the Yangtze River Delta. I, Yangcheng, can't grab it, so I can grab your head office in Xi'an, right?

On the first night when Fang Zhuo arrived in Yangcheng, he didn't say anything, but conditions had already been handed down.

"Bingxin came to Yangcheng to open a new production line. All the initial expenses will be paid by Yangcheng. It can be bought back later to form a joint venture. The operating rights of the production line are definitely controlled by Bingxin."

After listening to the words of the leaders of Guangdong Province, Fang Zhuo suddenly discovered that this was not similar to the conditions that SMIC had when it set up a factory in Wuhan?

The most worrying cost of the wafer production line is no longer required, just let you do it.

this……

Late at night, Fang Zhuo and Zhang Rujing talked about this matter and couldn't help but sigh: "I feel the pain of your original choice. If this was the condition in the first place, I would have to press my fingerprints immediately."

"If you don't have a reputation, who can offer such a condition?" Zhang Rujing said with a smile, "SMIC was stumbling when it was first established. Whoever didn't agree to this condition immediately when encountering it was afraid that the other party would regret it."

Just as Fang Zhuo understands Zhang Rujing's choice when faced with the conditions, Zhang Rujing also understands Fang Zhuo's current emotion. Everything is difficult at the beginning, well, everything is difficult in the middle, and everything is difficult at the end...

Now that Bingxin has reached this point, especially with Mr. Fang’s strong strength, funds are indeed still important, but in many cases the priority may not be that high.

Zhang Rujing looked at Fang Zhuo who was thinking, a little curious about his choice.

After a long while, Fang Zhuo sighed quietly: "There is a shortage of people. There is a shortage of people here."

Expanding the scale of ice core requires an excellent team of engineers. In Xi'an, we can talk about the storage production line because there are Infineon/Qimonda and the local industrial base built around it. In Shanghai, we can talk about the acquisition of Huahong Factory 5 or even mergers and acquisitions. Grace Semiconductor, this is also because they have their own team.

But Yangcheng is different. Compared with the Yangtze River Delta, Xi'an, and Chengdu, its talent pool is very insufficient. Even with "market demand driving"...chip products in the Yangtze River Delta can still be oversold...

The talent gap in the entire domestic semiconductor industry exceeds 200,000. In the past two years, with the operation of large funds and the strengthening of policies, the number of employees in IC design has grown the fastest, followed by the number of employees in packaging and testing, and at the bottom is the number of employees in the manufacturing industry. .

"Mr. Fang, it's hard to refuse the hospitality of the leaders here." Zhang Rujing reminded with a smile.

Fang Zhuo agreed: "Indeed, hospitality is hard to refuse."

But he added: "No, I won't, but the hospitality can be postponed. In two years, when the ice core has digested this increase in scale, I will come here to open a factory."

It’s not that I won’t come, it’s that I’ll come back in two years.

When the time comes, let's open a big one and ask Brother Fu to advance the upfront funds.

Fang Zhuo suddenly became happy when he thought about it. It was always a good thing to have someone thinking about him.

Before he could think of how to express his decision tactfully, an unknown number was dialed on his phone.

Fang Zhuo talked on the phone and was a little surprised that the identity on the other end was a counselor from a hospital in the capital.

"Mr. Fang, there will be an expert meeting involving the integrated circuit industry here in Beijing in September. The industry plan for 11-15 years will be demonstrated. I have several topics here. I hope you can prepare first."

When Fang Zhuo heard the request, he laughed and said: "Counsellor Lu, can I also be an expert? In this way, let Mr. Qiu Ciyun participate, he is a real expert, or Dr. Liang Mengsong can participate."

"Mr. Fang, you are an expert in the corporate world." Counselor Lu said seriously, "This reference is very important and needs to be discussed many times. Mr. Fang, you must pay attention to it."

Fang Zhuo pondered: "Will Mr. Zhang, Rujing and Zhang participate?"

"Mr. Zhang is not an expert in the business world." Counselor Lu said, "He..."

Fang Zhuo interrupted: "Mr. Zhang founded SMIC, and now he is no longer an expert in the business world? Good guy, he has only been away from SMIC for a few years. Come on, tell me about some of the experts in the business world who are attending the meeting. Let me hear who they are."

Zhang Rujing, who was next to him, frowned when he heard Mr. Fang's words.

"Mr. Zhang is not an expert in the corporate world, he is an expert in the industry." Counselor Lu repeated his words calmly, "Mr. Fang, Mr. Zhang participated in this capacity."

Fang Zhuo was a little resentful, and it was too early to express his anger. He thought that this old man had lived in seclusion on Qindao for the past two years, and no one asked him about it.

He said sincerely: "Don't worry, Counselor Lu, I will pay attention to it and prepare carefully. This is a major event for integrated circuits, and I am honored."

Fang Zhuo ended the call and told Zhang Rujing, who had not yet received the notification.

Zhang Rujing couldn't help but smile and pointed at herself: "I'm the Doctor."

"Yes, Dr. Zhang, Expert Zhang." Expert Fang stood up and said, "I have to talk to Mr. Qiu about this, and I have to ask him to go to Shanghai to contact Hua Hong and the others. Well, I also have to ask him to help explain what is going on now. Fortunately, there are problems with building factories in Yangcheng.”
