Reinventing the Millennium

It is difficult to tell whether the news in the wafer foundry market is true or false. Ice cores face overseas risks, and the development of the domestic industry is not a temporary success. It coincides with the arrival of the Lunar New Year, and Fang Zhuo can only warm a pot of wine and drink with the people who arrived in Shanghai. Zhang Rujing laughed about the variables.

Bingxin has faced and known various problems since its establishment. From last year to this year, the development situation has gradually worsened, and Fang Zhuo has become somewhat desensitized.

He has made a lot of progress, and he can only turn pressure into motivation. Otherwise, he will cry to death until dawn, and cry from dawn to night, but Dong Zhuo will not die.

We met old friends, chatted a lot, and even made an appointment to pay homage to Jiang Shangzhou together.

Zhang Rujing smiled and said on the way, "Take Fang Liu Bang to visit Dr. Jiang." When he actually arrived in front of the monument, he burst into tears and talked to himself for a long time.

"It's a pity. If he lasts for another two years, the industrial situation will definitely bring about gratifying changes." Zhang Rujing said regretfully.

"I don't know when it will end. He has done enough." Fang Zhuo said calmly.

Zhang Rujing just sighed, looking at the days when they were preparing for SMIC together.

After saying goodbye to Dr. Jiang, Zhang Rujing calmed down for a long time before saying sincerely: "It's no wonder that Zhang Zhongmo treats you like a formidable enemy. What he said is right, you are still young, and time is on your side. This is right for a It’s hard for a bad old man not to be intimidated.”

"Time is fate, and sometimes it's hard to tell. When I was sick last year, I was lying in bed tossing and turning. At that time, I thought, if it comes to this, Bingxin and Yike will be good." Fang Zhuo said, " After the minor surgery, my body is fine and I seem to have more time, but I still feel that I have done everything I can."

He looked at the scenery outside the car window and smiled: "Since Zhang Zhongmo said that, I will also try to make the ice core closer to him during his lifetime. I think he should be able to survive."

Zhang Rujing turned to look at Mr. Fang and praised: "What doesn't kill you will only make you more... a beast."

Fang Zhuo sighed and advised: "When you get older, you should stop reading online news. You are just following the rhythm."

The word "beast" comes from the latest foreign media description, calling the ice core leader who caused waves this month a "powerful business beast", how can I put it...

Fang Zhuo believes that this description is slightly discriminatory. Even if "the best CEO in the world" is not used, there can be substitutes such as "mysterious man".

"You should only read it when you are older." Zhang Rujing said with a smile, "This makes me feel very close to young people. When I see some titles like 'Shocked! Mr. Fang actually did such a thing to Sony', I will click on it to read it." look."

Fang Zhuo said quietly: "Just watch it, don't go to the circle of friends."

Zhang Rujing nodded and agreed: "Okay, I will block you later."

Fang Zhuo gave a thumbs up: "He is indeed Mr. Zhang, who has been the number one semiconductor person in the mainland."

Zhang Rujing said modestly: "But you still have to keep a low profile in front of the world's largest semiconductor beast."

If it weren't for the fact that Zhang Rujing was really old, Fang Zhuo would have had to force him into unconsciousness tonight.

But the name of the beast is not the end. Zhang Zhongqing’s New Year’s gift will bring worse repercussions after all. Marco, who was just elected as a senator from Florida last year, accepted an interview with the media and strongly criticized the authorities’ indulgence in the high-tech field, focusing on And the existence of Bing Xin and Fang Zhuo.

Marco is forty this year. He is a rising political star. He has a "Tea Party" background and is naturally surrounded by right-wing conservative groups.

He had hardly expressed his views on Eastern affairs when he was serving in the state assembly, but since he entered the Senate last year, useful Eastern topics have been on his lips.

This time, with the professional endorsement of industry leader Zhang Zhongtong, Marco felt like a treasure. Not only did he upgrade his description in the interview, he believed that "Fang Zhuo is a business monster that was negotiated by interests", he also claimed that he would unite with congressmen who had the same view. Together they proposed a motion calling for the cancellation of the business license for the ice core company.

On January 19, Fang Zhuo had a phone call with friends in Washington in Shanghai to discuss Senator Marco's hateful behavior, and received a regrettable answer of "it is difficult to restrain".

Obviously, Marco needs to be driven by the voting group behind him, which makes it difficult for him to change.

There were only three days left before the Spring Festival. Such news made Fang Zhuo not in a good mood, but after some exchanges with his friends, he could only show a clear attitude towards Teacher Xiao Su.

"At this point, the biggest magic weapon is to accumulate technical strength and work hard to run the entire system well. There is no way to rely on crooked ways."

Su Wei agreed.

However, the next afternoon, she saw a piece of news from New York.

——Samsung Electronics President Lee Jae-yong was found with prohibited items in his car by the New York police. He was released on parole after a brief arrest, but he may still face several prosecutions.

Lee Jae-yong has an unusual identity. He is also the only son of Lee Kun-hee, the current head of Samsung. It was discovered that he might be a medicine pot in the United States. Public opinion in the United States did not fluctuate much, but it caused an uproar in South Korea.

Su Wei was quite suspicious after seeing the news.

Recently, Samsung is entangled with news from Taiwan Journal and Bingxin. Why did Lee Jae-yong get into trouble at this juncture?

Su Wei took up Twitter on her phone and asked President Fangda: "What's going on with Lee Jae-yong? Didn't you say yesterday that you wouldn't do evil things?"

"What does this have to do with me? I flew over and pinned him in the car? He likes to tie things randomly, how can he blame me?" Fang Zhuo felt very wronged when he heard Teacher Xiao Su's tone.

"His weak point was hit at this time...I always feel..." Su Wei said seriously, "Someone is messing with him."

Fang Zhuo spread his hands helplessly: "You think of me as a god, right?"

"The next news won't be that Zhang Zhongtong will be released on bail, right?" Su Wei asked again, "Is Lee Jae-yong framed?"

"Hey, is this the only image I have in your mind?" Fang Zhuo criticized, "I can only say that people are doing what they do and God is watching. If nothing happens to Lee Jae-yong sooner or later, God will help him." I."

Su Wei looked at the CEO and nodded slightly: "When God doesn't help you, you can only help yourself."

"Hey, let's celebrate the New Year and let go of all the outside stuff. These people are so annoying, but they've been doing so much lately, and I can't even think of being quiet." Fang Zhuo shook his head, "We'll see after the New Year."

Su Wei could only say that her familiarity with the man in front of her confirmed most of the doubts in her mind, but she was just curious about the matter and did not intend to inquire further, so she changed the topic to the Chinese New Year and mentioned that she needed to show up before the reunion dinner this year. As a parent to a certain extent, I came to have a casual meal with my sister Zhao Suqi’s boyfriend’s family.

"I heard from my uncle that the man is quite stable, he is a teacher in a college, he has a good personality, and his family background is quite good." Fang Zhuo said with a smile, "What does this mean? It counts as support."

Zhao Suqi is now responsible for some work at the "Coco Charitable Fund". The income is not too high, but she feels that her work is more meaningful and more consistent with her wishes than seeing the dollar figures in her account increase.

Fang Zhuo thinks this choice is quite good, at least it won't be too tiring.

January 22nd, New Year’s Eve, was the customary reunion dinner for two people, so this small family dinner was held at noon.

However, Fang Zhuo wanted to spend the New Year in peace and contentment, but the things that could be called on his mobile phone did not wait for anyone.

At 11:20, he received a call from Jacobs, the head of Qualcomm, discussing their willingness to continue cooperation.

Because Ice Core needs the second-generation HKMG process for its 32nm process this year, it is basically certain that the new product launch will be postponed from June to the third quarter.

Fang Zhuo has previously stated that Selfy will be equipped with its own Zhurong chip.

Jacob represents Qualcomm and still wants to work hard.

"Has Zhang Zhongtou left the United States? You are all messing with Taiwan reporters, and now you are trying to persuade me to continue using Qualcomm chips." Fang Zhuo said in a not-so-serious tone.

"We are just talking about 28nm technical cooperation, Mr. Fang. From the bottom of my heart, of course I am willing to continue our cooperation with Ice Core on 28nm. However, isn't Ice Core's 28nm process immature?" Jacob said this with some amusement. The meaning of temptation.

"Well, I don't blame you for not being as skilled as others. Who let the reporter be the boss?" Fang Zhuo said worriedly, "It will be good if we can handle 28nm this year, but I am afraid that the yield rate will never be improved. On the other hand, even if you sell one unit at a loss, you still have to protect the brand image.”

After hearing this, Jacob felt that Mr. Fang was talking too much.

Are you losing money on one sale?

Can your surname Fang do such a thing?

He laughed: "Mr. Fang, even Mr. Zhang has confidence in you to conquer 28nm. You say such depressing words."

"He said it can be conquered, but if we conquer it the next year, it will be considered conquered, so what's the use?" Fang Zhuo said seriously, "I understand Qualcomm's move to strengthen cooperation with Taiwanese reporters. If I were Qualcomm, I would do the same. This is why, Jacob, you must also understand our Yike’s decision-making.”

Jacob saw that Yi Ke's decision-making was not too firm, so he actively maintained their relationship.

Does Selfy use Zhurong chips? It’s okay to use it or not.

This is the attitude he got.

"Mr. Fang, Selfy has a good reputation among consumers. From the perspective of Yike Company, product differentiation is a very effective means." Jacob You said, "Since it is effective, why change it?"

"Jacob, what you said makes some sense. I will think about it carefully, but recently I have been dealing with the problem of ice cores in the United States. I really don't have much energy to deal with Yike's decision-making. I will talk to Yu again. They always discuss it." Fang Zhuo complained, "I don't know what's going on. Recently, the American media has been saying that we have problems, as if we have been stealing business. Don't there any friends from the ice core industry? Make money?"

Jacob was stunned for a moment before he felt that Fang was always hinting to him that Qualcomm and Bingxin did cooperate well, and they might be friends of this nature.

He laughed and gave some superficial comfort.

Fang Zhuo did not force Jacob to speak up for the ice core contract manufacturer. He just talked about a new piece of news: "Within a week, our ice core factory construction team will visit Texas. If the conditions are right, we are willing to build a factory in Texas." Building a factory will also help us better serve our customers.”

Jacob was a little surprised: "Is Ice Core going to build a factory in the United States?"

"It's just a preliminary inspection. We will also go to Europe to take a look." Fang Zhuo was referring to the pre-selected city of Crolle in France. This city has tried to locate the German ice core factory there and has a very good industrial environment.

However, although it was unofficially decided, I also took this opportunity to go to the United States for inspection and inspection, as a way to express my position and wait for the shadow shareholders to win the election again.

Jacob thought for a few seconds and agreed: "If Ice Core comes to the United States to build a factory, it will be conducive to the development of public opinion."

"We need to look at the industrial environment in the United States." Fang Zhuo said again.

"Let business be business. This is what should be done now. Some people just like to play gimmicks." Jacob said, "Bingxin has always been one of Qualcomm's best OEMs. This should be seen by public opinion. of."

"Cooperation will benefit both sides. Our cooperation is greater than competition." Fang Zhuo determined the premise.

Jacob agreed, reaching a consensus among friends.

Fang Zhuo ended the call with the head of Qualcomm, took another call from Qiu Ciyun, and then hurried to the hotel box, where the two families were already seated.

Zhao Suqi's boyfriend is named Ji Yunan. His father, Ji Jianping, works in a restaurant chain in Jiangsu Province, which is pretty good. This is the first time for him to have dinner with his son's girlfriend's family. At first, he was a little bit worried about waiting for the girl's cousin to come over before using chopsticks... Not appropriate enough.

However, when he saw who walked in the door, he was stunned. The one who jumped up before him was his son Ji Yunan.

Ji Yun'an didn't expect that the brother his girlfriend said he had a good relationship with but was very busy at work was the person in front of him.

He spoke in shock, and Fang Zhuo was stunned by his first sentence.

“I wonder who doesn’t love semiconductor scholarships!”

"Mystery man!"

"Mr. Fang?"

Ji Yunan, who works at the university, blurted out three identity indicators.

Fang Zhuo smiled and nodded, but just as he was about to shake hands, Ji Yun'an's father, Ji Jianping, rushed out to intercept him.

"Mr. Fang! I am your fan! Monster fan!" Ji Jianping excitedly waved his hands up and down, "I especially like the business motto you said."

Fang Zhuo could tell that this person really cared about him, otherwise he wouldn't have mentioned the monster.

He shook hands vigorously to prevent this small family dinner from turning into a fan meeting, and asked everyone to sit down with greetings.

"Today I am Qi Qi's brother." Fang Zhuo grasped the key point, "Uncle Ji and Aunt Yan are my elders, and Yun'an is my sister who is willing to join hands. We are a meeting and reunion between family members."

When Ji Jianping heard such a title, he felt frightened and sat on the stool in a daze.

He tried hard to control his smile and couldn't help but said: "Fang, Mr. Fang, please say a few more words."

Fang Zhuo was a little helpless. He felt a little relieved when he saw that his sister's boyfriend calmed down much faster than his father. He pondered for a while and said: "If Qi Qi and Yun An are lucky enough to get together and start a small family in the future, I hope They always live in harmony, always understand each other, and always support each other.”

"Yes! I wish these two young people forever..." Ji Jianping raised his wine glass and a word popped up in his mind, "Keep making progress!"

He quoted the company's slogan.

Fang Zhuo didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He raised a glass and drank together. He noticed that Ji Yun'an gently held Qi Qi's hand and hoped that the young man... would always keep making progress.
