Reinventing the Millennium

One sentence of truth is preached, and tens of thousands of books are falsely preached.

Reading countless people is not as good as having a famous teacher show you the way.

Fang Zhuo was in great shock after listening to Dr. Liang's extremely confident evaluation of the ice core's forward path. Finally, these two sentences flashed through his mind.

Liang Mengsong looked at the complicated and incomprehensible expression of the leader of Bingxin and said nothing. He only tasted the luxurious red wine in the glass.

Fang Zhuo was stunned for a while and finally came to his senses.

This advice from Dr. Liang with a gun and a stick is indeed forward-looking for Bingxin.

The strength of semiconductor manufacturing companies is not based solely on process, but process technology is undoubtedly the most influential factor. From this point of view, Taiwan is the first to launch mass production of the 65nm process in the second half of this year, and Intel is also in this category. level.

Then, UMC, which completed 65nm trial production this year, may only be one to two quarters behind Taiwan in terms of mass production time. It is in the second tier with companies such as Chartered Semiconductor.

Mainland China's SMIC belongs to the third tier. It started mass production of 90nm last year and is still far away from 65nm mass production.

What about ice cores?

From a global perspective, the fourth gear!

Ice Core only completed the risk trial production of 90nm in April this year. It hopes to complete the mass production of this process within the year, and then it will have spare time to research 65nm. This is almost 2 generations behind the world's number one Taiwanese.

But even in the fourth tier, Bingxin now has the ability to contact big customers like Qualcomm. Otherwise, even if Yike enters mobile phones and considers the Chinese market, Qualcomm will never come to the door.

Now, what does Dr. Liang say?

Dr. Liang is basically saying that your ice core can catch up across generations, and you can only catch up with three people!

Of course, when Bingxin catches up, other players won’t stop either.

But if you calculate it this way, if the ice core abandons 90nm and studies 65nm across generations, once it succeeds, it will be at least 2.5!

Take a look at what companies are in front of you?

Behind Chartered Semiconductor is Singapore, its partner is AMD, and United Microelectronics was established in 1980. Today, it is still known as the Taiwanese wafer duo.

It is already a great success that ice core can be called together with these companies.

Fang Zhuo often feels that "one step is slow, every step is slow", but having said that, if he can go half a step faster, then the next steps may be half a step faster.

The most important thing is that Professor Hu Zhengming, who developed FinFET, is currently working at Bingxin, and the significance of this FinFET is to be used in advanced processes and will be used at the 22/16nm node.

If we can get to this point, Professor Hu's valuable role can be fully exerted.

Fang Zhuo thought of Professor Hu, took a sip of wine, and stabilized his mood again.

Because he has truly realized the difficulty of developing and catching up with ice cores, he was greatly shocked when he first heard Dr. Liang’s words. However, when he took a closer look at the matter, Dr. Liang stood at the level of a Taiwan reporter. Techniques for Evaluating Ice Cores…

Taiwan Note has been going from node to node. It naturally knows the mysteries inside 90nm and 65nm, and knows how to comprehensively weigh the applications of the two.

But SMIC and Bingxin are different. Neither company has mastered or set foot in the world's cutting-edge mass production category of 65nm. How can they make the decision to develop by leaps and bounds?

Who can really make this decision?

He is an absolute top executive in Taiwan Journal and an absolute top executive in Intel.

Is there anything further down the line?

UMC's senior management may or may not have this judgment.

It should be difficult for other companies around the world to make similar decisions.

Can you blame the people at SMIC and Bingxin for being stupid?

cannot.

It can only be said that Liang Mengsong, who has strong technical ability, is too high on the platform of Taiwan Journalist, the world's number one platform. He expressed the experience that Taiwan Journalist painstakingly summed up in a critical and mocking way.

Fang Zhuo never cared about criticism or ridicule, he only cared about whether what Dr. Liang said was helpful.

Liang Mengsong, Dr. Liang, tsk...

This is a person who can definitely compete for the deputy general manager of R\u0026D in Taiji regardless of his qualifications or skills.

How should the deputy general manager of R\u0026D be ranked in Taiwan?

Jiang Shangyi, who originally retired from this position, is the number two person in the Taiwan Journal.

Although he does not have this kind of influence based on his position alone, the deputy general manager of R\u0026D is still among the top five in Taiwan.

Liang Mengsong's failure to advance does not mean that his professional abilities are not good. There may be many reasons related to his bad temper.

A senior corporate executive whose serial number may be as high as 56,789, and a technical expert who is responsible for or participates in the research of each generation of Taiwan's manufacturing process. It is no wonder that his joining can effectively promote Samsung's technological progress and make it You can compete with Taiwanese journalists for supremacy.

Fang Zhuo picked up the wine glass, raised his head and drank the remaining red wine, sighing: "The doctor said something to wake up the dreamer, but just waking up is not enough. If Ice Core wants to develop 65nm technology, it will definitely not be possible with the technology of the current team."

This is the most intuitive value that Liang Mengsong can bring to the present.

This doesn't count for the future.

You know, when Professor Hu published papers related to FinFET architecture, he was the first author, and Liang Mengsong was often the second author, who also had deep knowledge in this field.

Liang Mengsong tasted the wine, still looking cold.

"Doctor, having said this, I really don't want to hide anything anymore." Fang Zhuo directly showed his affection, "Although Bingxin is far behind Taiwan Records, firstly, our development time is still very short, and secondly, Bingxin Core is not without its advantages.”

He continued: "As long as the process technology of ice core is close to 22nm, I believe that the existence of Professor Hu can greatly accelerate our progress. Ice core now has a certain framework, a stable board of directors and management, as long as the doctor is willing to come, There is a doctor in the ice core, just like there is water in the fish."

Liang Mengsong laughed loudly: "Who said I want to leave Taiwan Records?"

"It's not that the Doctor will definitely leave the Doctor. It's just that when I see the Doctor treating the Doctor like this, I feel really regretful and sad." Fang Zhuo said sincerely, "Now I'm just trying my best to show the Doctor another direction."

Liang Mengsong still shook his head.

Although he was transferred out of the department, marginalized, and could only do some work that did not demonstrate his knowledge...then who said he was leaving?

Liang Mengsong slapped the wine glass on the table and made a crisp sound: "Even if I leave, I will go to Intel and franchise!"

That is a stronger company.

Liang Mengsong believes that with his ability, any company will rush to get him!

Fang Zhuo said very understandingly: "Doctor, of course you can go to Intel, go to Charter, or even go to Samsung or UMC, but what position can you give you after you go?"

"Are we going to have to do what we did in Taiwan all over again?"

"The ice core is different. The position of president is vacant. Regarding technical issues, you can resolve them with just one word!"

Liang Mengsong smiled: "What's the point of being the CEO of Bingxin?"

Fang Zhuo said calmly: "From the world's number one company to a company that needs to catch up, this is of course a big challenge. However, no matter how big it is, can it be compared to the time when Zhang Zhongtou returned to Taiwan from the United States? Is it a big challenge to start from scratch?"

Liang Mengsong frowned slightly when he heard Zhang Zhongtong's name.

"Dr. Liang, if you go to any company in the world, whether you go to Intel, Charter, UMC, Samsung, or SMIC, you will only be the 'Deputy General Manager of R\u0026D' at most. But if you come to Bingxin, you will have the opportunity to become Bingxin's Zhang Zhongyi, you are not comparing with Sun Yuancheng and Luo Weiren, you want to compete with Zhang Zhongyi!" Fang Zhuo raised his voice.

Sun Yuancheng and Luo Weiren are the current vice presidents of R\u0026D who beat Liang Mengsong for promotion this time.

But what's the point of competing with these two?

Looking beyond Taiji, there is a vast world outside. Ice Core has a certain technical framework and has the late-mover advantage of FinFET. It may not be impossible to compete with Taiji within a foreseeable time!

Liang Mengsong had never thought of comparing himself with Zhang Zhongmo, but after listening to Mr. Fang's words, he seriously considered such a comparison.

After a moment, he raised his head and asked, "Where is Qiu Ciyun?"

How to deal with the current Bingxin CEO?

Fang Zhuo replied: "Bingxin can set up joint positions, with Mr. Qiu in charge of external affairs and Dr. Qiu in charge of internal affairs. The process has been developed and the yield rate has gone up. Mr. Qiu is in charge of the external market and will have the strongest competitiveness. Isn't this a perfect match?" ?”

Liang Mengsong was silent.

Fang Zhuo didn't know what Dr. Liang was thinking. Logically speaking, he wouldn't be able to handle the responsibility of being the CEO alone. What's more, his strength is technology.

However, it’s not surprising that you can’t guess this guy’s thinking.

Fang Zhuo changed his mind, gave up the inquiry, and gave a stimulus: "Dr. Liang, to be honest, your personality is not lovable."

Liang Mengsong's thoughts were interrupted and he looked coldly at the leader of the ice core in front of him.

"Perhaps this is the reason why the reporter has erased your contribution and ignored your ability." Fang Zhuo said, "But the ice core is different, who cares about this?"

He gently pounded the table in front of him with his hand: "As long as you improve the ice core manufacturing process and improve the technology, who cares about this?"

"On the contrary, whatever you want, I will do my best to satisfy you."

"You want to be a hero, you want to save the industry, you want to have a huge reputation, I can let public opinion shape you like this."

"If you want to have a brilliant career, Ice Core can be listed on the market, you can be the president, you can be on par with Zhang Zhongmo, and you can become the Zhang Zhongmo of the mainland."

"If you want to get enough compensation, as long as you come, you can get the same options as Professor Hu immediately, and there will be option rewards later."

"I don't like your personality, but you don't have to worry about whether I like it or not in Bingxin. The premise of all this is whether you really have the technical strength that people expect?"

Fang Zhuo took a breath and asked quietly: "Why are Sun Yuancheng and Luo Weiren overpowering you? Could it be that I guessed wrong? Isn't it personality? Are they really more powerful?"

Liang Mengsong took action!

Immediately, he sat down again.

It's not that he's stupid, it's not that he can't listen to aggressive generals, he just has this temper.

In other words, Liang Mengsong felt that with his technical strength, he could have a temper whenever he wanted, and he would tolerate whoever was unhappy.

However, the matter of the vice president of R\u0026D this time is quite problematic.

Liang Mengsong looked at Fang Zhuo coldly, and said after a few seconds: "What do wafer manufacturing companies strive for if they don't strive for technology? For greetings and delivery? For wine-making habits?"

Fang Zhuo felt that Dr. Liang might be a diode in some aspects.

He just replied: "You can fight whatever you want in the ice core."

Liang Mengsong looked at Fang Zhuo for another two minutes and said slowly: "I will have a two-year non-compete agreement after I leave Taiwan Press."

"Professor Hu also has the ice core. He added it after his lecture at HKUST was over." Fang Zhuo said, "I'm leaving anyway. Doctor, please read Taiji's latest process research before leaving."

Liang Mengsong stared at Fang Zhuo.

Fang Zhuo's expression remained unchanged and he was about to leave. Isn't this normal?

Liang Mengsong held the wine glass and raised his hand slightly.

Fang Zhuo poured wine for Dr. Liang without any grudge.

Liang Mengsong took a sip of wine and said, "Very good, I want them all."

Fang Zhuo thought for a moment and then knew that this was the doctor's response to what he had said before.

He smiled, which also meant...

Liang Mengsong immediately went down and asked, "What do you want again?"

This was a doubt in his mind.

"I want to spend all the money I earn in my lifetime." Fang Zhuo replied.

Liang Mengsong: "?"

He knew that this person was joking, so he said in a rare and relaxed manner: "This is really simple."

Fang Zhuo continued: "I want to use chips designed and manufactured by myself in my own mobile phones."

Liang Mengsong felt that this was more serious.

Fang Zhuo finally smiled and said: "I just want to live up to the people who have sweated for the ice core and live up to myself. After all, I have done something."

Liang Mengsong looked at Fang Zhuo and said a little surprised: "I didn't expect you to be so humble."

He pondered for a moment and said, "The two years of a non-competition agreement are enough to change a lot of things."

"The doctor can come to the United States first after resigning to let Taiwan reporters dispel their doubts, and then go to the mainland. There is no need to go to Luzhou, Beijing, Shanghai, or Lin'an. Wherever you like, Bingxin can secretly organize its own people to listen to the doctor's opinions on a regular basis. Give me some advice." Fang Zhuo didn't intend to waste time.

Liang Mengsong didn't feel anything was wrong, he thought so too.

A few seconds later, he sighed prophetically: "If this happens, I'm afraid my colleagues will criticize my actions."

"What can we accuse? Betrayal? No, it's Taiwan's lack of respect. It's not Bole, and it can't recognize the real horse." Fang Zhuo said, "Bing Xin and Doctor are just like Boya Ziqi, mountains and rivers, they are absolutely the same. A good story."

Liang Mengsong glanced at Mr. Fang and nodded slightly: "Pour the wine."

What Mr. Fang said makes sense. People search for close friends through mountains and rivers. Since Taiwan Notes has no close friends, it’s better to change the world.

Fang Zhuo poured Dr. Liang's wine steadily, and then added wine to his own glass. His originally steady wrist suddenly shook, and the wine in the glass rippled, just like the waves in his heart.
