Reinventing the Millennium

Hu Zhengming officially joined Bingxin.

This means that the ice core technology research and development team will be better united.

As for what kind of result can be condensed.

Fang Zhuo's knowledge is shallow and difficult to predict.

He only knows that having Hu Zhengming as the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) is enough to overwhelm anyone who comes to Bingxin. This is a technical expert who holds the same position at TSMC. His academic achievements, academician honors, etc. need not be repeated. , enough to gather most of the technical strength poached from peers, and also attract more talents in the industry.

As for the technology itself, Hu Zhengming was responsible for upgrading the 90nm process during his time at TSMC, which is the next step of the ice core manufacturing process.

It can be said that based on the power provided by the ice core itself, Hu Zhengming will be able to lead the company to conquer 90nm sooner or later. As for going forward, it will also be the world's first-class 65nm process...

Professor Hu himself said that it would be a major test.

After all, there is a huge gap between the R\u0026D capabilities of Ice Core itself and TSMC. It is difficult to say how the technology will be introduced at that time. If the 65nm process falls within a generation, I am afraid no one will let its competitors grow.

But regarding this point, Professor Hu Zhengming is not easy to solve. Professor Hu’s disciple Liang Mengsong, whom Fang Zhuo has been eyeing for a long time, is now practicing in TSMC. Once this Zhenru encounters a cold in TSMC in his memory, the master will be in the ice core, and the apprentice will still be there. Is it far?

With the completion of risk trial production, ice core has the capability of small-scale mass production, and a stage with room for performance has been gradually set up.

How far can it catch up in the future? Can I have a face-to-face meeting with the Taiwanese reporter?

This is something that Fang Zhuo feels excited every time he thinks about it.

Of course, the future is bright, but the road is tortuous.

The investment in research and development that Professor Hu is now requesting needs to be carefully considered to avoid causing a chain reaction.

Fang Zhuo sat in the office and thought quietly, forgetting for a moment that Liu Yangyang was waiting for him.

Liu Yangyang remained silent and waited patiently for his boss.

"Oh, forget this, where were we talking about just now?" Fang Zhuo came back to his senses.

"Ice Core Wafer Manufacturing Service Alliance's requirements and evaluation of domestic enterprises." Liu Yangyang has already written this down.

Fang Zhuo nodded and said: "Yeah, yes, the domestic semiconductor industry-related companies require that it be able to replace equipment on the production line. As long as it can be done, we can do it."

"As for the evaluation of enterprises, we rate them based on the quality of their equipment, after-sales service, and technology research and development. A/B/C, once a year, can be closely linked to the purchase price or the support we can provide."

Liu Yangyang thought: "Just want to hold an annual supplier meeting?"

"You can say this about the annual evaluation, but daily technology sharing and support are also the focus. Luzhou currently only has one factory. The expansion of production capacity and the construction of new factories are all driving opportunities." Fang Zhuo said, "You have to work with us To determine the appropriate evaluators in the ice core, a good engineer may not be able to do the evaluation well, but their opinions are certainly important.”

Liu Yangyang nodded, roughly understanding what his boss meant.

The equipment, technology, and materials required for the production line are quite complex, and there are still many opportunities it can provide.

Semiconductor materials, such as photoresist, electron gas, CMP polishing fluid, sputtering target materials, etc.

Semiconductor equipment, such as single crystal furnace, ion implantation, oxidation diffusion, glue development, bonding machine, etc.

Display materials, such as optical films, LED materials, mixed crystals, polarizers, etc.

Industrial machine tools, such as general machine tools, lathes, grinders, CNC systems, etc.

High-end capacitors and resistors, such as MLCC, aluminum electrolytic capacitors, film capacitors, tantalum capacitors, etc.

And blah blah blah.

The country is basically lagging behind across the board. Even if Bingxin gives a rare opportunity, it will probably take a long, long time to catch up.

Fang Zhuo’s intention is not to eliminate equipment purchased from abroad. On the contrary, he hopes that Ice Core can rely on the development of globalization to become a difficult customer for important equipment manufacturers, but to some extent help domestic enterprises grow, which is also beneficial to his own interests. Actions.

Because as long as domestic products can be substituted, procurement costs will immediately drop.

One is substitution, the other is breakthrough.

If we can further achieve "two", it will be even more interesting.

Therefore, if you do more basic and complicated work, and do more work that will not be effective in the short term, the ice core may run more smoothly in the future.

Fang Zhuo felt that Liu Yangyang, the secretary-general with an administrative background, could handle such matters well. If he couldn't handle it well enough, he could change the candidate while such an alliance still had little influence.

Liu Yangyang took the order and left. The first thing she had to do was to investigate the situation of domestic semiconductor industry companies. The results could not be obtained in a day or two.

The research and development of the ice core is led by Professor Hu, the operation of the ice core is led by Qiu Ciyun, and the surrounding ecosystem of the ice core is created by Liu Yangyang.

The next step is to take orders from Changhong to fill production capacity.

Fang Zhuo sat in the office, lit a cigar, and thought long and hard about the Yike stock sale.

It’s hard to persuade Bingxin’s several shareholder institutions. Even Lao Xiong can’t understand it rationally and emotionally, and private equity funds can’t invest their clients’ time-limited money in semiconductors and Sina stocks... It can be sold.

But selling Sina stocks whenever something happens is somewhat bad.

The most important thing is that Sina, as the main operator of "World of Warcraft", its performance in the game field will definitely increase the stock price. If you want to sell it, it is not time to sell it. Yike should also be affected by the good news, but the good news in this regard is weak. .

For what reason?

The chairman wants to improve his life?

It's reasonable. They are afraid of causing a stress reaction from Goldman Sachs and others. Although some of the shares that were locked up in the initial listing of Yike have been released due to the slight increase in Yike's stock price, the tradable shares they hold are still prone to fluctuations.

Fang Zhuo thought about it and called Director Xiao Yu in New York.

"Mr. Yu, thank you for taking care of my family these days. When I fly out in a while, I will bring you a few boxes of tea." Fang Zhuo thanked me.

"Easy to say, uncle and aunt will fly to Tokyo in three days. I will let them take the watch with them, so I won't give it to you in person. Can you feel the filial piety of your subordinates?" Yu Hong smiled. road.

"Yes, yes, yes, Director Yu is not a subordinate. We are partners fighting side by side, our closest comrades, and a force that can unite." Fang Zhuo said seriously, "Yes or no?"

Yu Hong couldn't help laughing: "You don't need to elevate my status just because of a watch, right?"

"That's what I think in my heart." Fang Zhuo's tone became relaxed.

"Okay, I take this as Mr. Fang's compliment to me. I will do business well and make money for Mr. Fang." Yu Hong was in a good mood.

"Oh, yes, which watch did you buy?" Fang Zhuo asked.

"Rolex's Panda Di matches our Yike very well." Yu Hong said naturally, "Do you know this one?"

Fang Zhuo raised his left wrist, looked at it for two seconds, and answered honestly: "I know, I quite like this style."

"That's good, there's one more thing. I don't know if I should thank you." Yu Hong said in an indescribable tone, "My dad may be transferred to Luzhou in the first half of the year."

Fang Zhuo was slightly startled: "I have not expressed this to Luzhou, Anhui Province. Well, do you think it is the potential impact of our Yike or Bingxin?"

Yu Hong asked, "Isn't it?"

"Well, it's hard to say." Fang Zhuo replied.

Yu Hong said lightly: "The Anhui province regards your ice core as a treasure in the palm of their hand. Isn't it a matter of sending a qualified person who can communicate well to the district?"

Fang Zhuo felt a little awkward when he heard Director Xiao Yu's tone, so he could only comment fairly: "To be fair, as long as it complies with the process, there's nothing wrong with it."

"Hey, let's not talk anymore." Yu Hong didn't want to talk about this. "When you get the watch, be sure to wear it and show it to me in New York."

"Well, I also have some things I want to talk to you about the company's business and the company's stock price." Fang Zhuo said.

"See you in New York then." Yu Hong did not pursue the question.

Happy call ended.

Fang Zhuo held the phone and pondered for a while, then stood up and took a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, wanting to express the inexplicable emotions in his heart.

But he picked up the pen but didn't know what to write.

Finally, three words were written on the rice paper.

"Rolex."

Fang Zhuo looked at the somewhat regressed calligraphy and felt that it was corrupted by money.

A moment later, there was a knock on the door of the president's office.

Fang Zhuo smiled when he saw the person coming in. It was Zhou Xin who came with a gift.

Zhou Xingang was about to say hello when he suddenly saw the watch on Mr. Fang's wrist and the words on the table. He said in surprise: "Mr. Fang, have you changed your watch?"

"Mr. Su gave it to me. How do you like it? Does it look good?" Fang Zhuo replied calmly.

Zhou Xin smiled and said: "It looks good. What a coincidence, I bought this one for Mr. Fang in Xiangjiang. This shows that Panda Di's style is really good."

He put the gift on the table.

Fang Zhuo opened it and saw that it was indeed the same style. The reason was probably the same, Yike's logo.

What can I exchange for collecting three pandas?

Zhou Xin didn't know the boss's dilemma, so he poured a cup of tea, tasted it, and said with a smile: "This tea is good, I have to take two boxes with me when I leave."

"Well, everyone said this tea is good. How about the cochlear implant project you mentioned last time?" Fang Zhuo asked about the internal incubation project of the medical department that Zhou Xin mentioned.

"We have joined forces with schools and professors in Shanghai, and it sounds quite optimistic about localization. Samples may be available by the end of the year at the earliest, but I didn't rush." ​​Zhou Xin put down the cup, "I think it's better to be more mature. Let's start with more. Do verification.”

Fang Zhuo nodded in agreement, remembering that Xiao Su had mentioned Zhou Xinhai's interest in fishing, and asked a few questions.

Zhou Xin was indeed a bit gushing when he mentioned this. During the Chinese New Year, he went to sea in Hong Kong and came back with a full harvest.

Fang Zhuo listened for a while and felt that Xiao Zhou's description level was much better than before.

"Mr. Fang, I heard that the trial production of ice core has passed? This is really good news." Zhou Xin put away the topic of interest and also mentioned the important nodes of ice core. He asked with a smile, "Will ice core make DRAM? "

Fang Zhuo sighed and said slowly: "The logic chip is what I want, and the DRAM is also what I want. I can't bear to part with both. The logic chip is very good, and the DRAM memory chip is also very good."

Zhou Xin tried his best to understand what the boss meant. This is what he knows how to do.

He thought for a while and said with a smile: "Then let's do it all. Samsung will also do OEM work, so we can have our cake and eat it too."

Fang Zhuo glanced at the friendly Xiao Zhou and hesitated: "Isn't this a bit greedy?"

Zhou Xin said a little confused: "Is it difficult? DRAM is indeed not easy, but Mr. Fang, don't you often say that you can do difficult things?"

Fang Zhuo nodded slightly, ending the small discussion about the direction of the ice core.

He asked: "Is everything going well in the medical field? I'm going to Tokyo to spend time with my family in a few days. The Spring Festival has been delayed until now, and they have all visited the United States."

"All businesses have returned to normal progress since the Spring Festival. I feel that the hospital's demand will become stronger and stronger in the next few years." Zhou Xin thought, "It's just that the online sales of medicines are linked to the secondary page of Tesco. This Well…that remains to be seen.”

Tesco will use the medical system, but due to the acquisition of Dazhong Electrical Appliances, its dependence in this area has been reduced.

Zhou Xin continued: “There is also the divestiture and asset injection of Yipay, which also... remains to be seen.”

Regardless of whether it is medical science or medical science, there is a decision-making process. As for whether he will be criticized by some shareholders... He thinks this will definitely happen. Even in his own heart, he is more or less... he wants to give feedback to Mr. Fang. .

"Yipay is a little sparrow. It can only become a phoenix under Tesco's system." Fang Zhuoxian concluded, "The Medical Association and Tesco complement each other and seek common ground while reserving differences. The current gains and losses are not important. If anyone has objections, just go ahead and Say it’s my decision.”

Zhou Xin had no objection.

"There is also a food safety assessment. Don't relax. My dad didn't watch Sina before, but since you guys started this, he likes to watch it. It can somewhat represent the feelings of some netizens." Fang Zhuo said with a smile.

Zhou Xin responded, and he also found that everyone paid surprisingly high attention to food safety. It was difficult for this small team to make a profit, but it had a pretty good reputation.

The two continued to chat about the medical business.

In the evening, Zhou Xin invited Mr. Fang to his home to try the sea fish he caught.

Her relatives were abroad, and Xiaosu was busy with other matters and had no social activities in the evening, so Fang Zhuo agreed.

There is a wide variety of sea fish for dinner. Zhou Xin is responsible for the fishing, while Yu Lanyu is skilled at cooking at home. The couple cooperates very well.

"Mr. Fang, are you on vacation in Tokyo?" Yu Lanyu asked Mr. Fang about his arrangements during the meal.

"Let's take a look at Sony too." Fang Zhuo replied.

Zhou Xin was a little surprised: "Look at Sony? Look at its products?"

"No, let's see what's wrong with Sony's system." Fang Zhuo said with a smile, "I may have to go there to check its pulse and prescribe medicine this time."

Zhou Xin didn't say anything, but he was thinking in his heart, if Mr. Fang were to prescribe medicine, wouldn't it be arsenic mixed with water?

Fang Zhuo saw Xiao Zhou's expression and said, "It brings scientific management. This is what Sony wants now."

Zhou Xin believed it. Mr. Fang was indeed quite accomplished in this area, especially in the management of the board of directors. Both Guahao.com and Sina had agreed to use it. This was probably what Sony wanted.
