1991 Starting from the core

At around five o'clock, Xie Kaiyun refused Su Yuanshan's invitation to stay and insisted on returning to Chengguang Institute. However, Zhou Boguang proposed to stay and discuss something with Su Yuanshan, so Su Yuanshan, Qin Weimin and Zhou Boguang returned upstairs after seeing Xie Kaiyun off.

Back at the company, Qin Weimin went back to his office, while Zhou Boguang went to Su Yuanshan's office.

"Uncle Zhou, would you like tea or coffee?" Su Yuanshan looked at the time and suggested, "Why don't you just go to the restaurant upstairs for a while? I'll ask my dad to come over."

"Xiao Su, don't bother." Zhou Boguang looked at Su Yuanshan with a smile: "Let's just have a casual chat. I'll have a bowl of noodles and take a taxi back later."

Su Yuanshan smiled and said: "You are scolding me."

Zhou Boguang touched his hair: "Haha, anyway, don't bother Professor Su. He is busy now, right?"

"The school treats him like a bully. He is now leading two groups, a 16-bit microcontroller and a CC development environment. They are all torturous work."

"Haha! He who can do it should work harder. Your father is still young and he can achieve more."

"Thanks for your compliment, I will definitely tell him when I get back."

Zhou Boguang shook his head, smiled and sighed: "We are here for acceptance this time... I specialize in manufacturing processes and have seen a lot of photolithography machines. According to the feedback from our engineers, you have already done the alignment system on the control system. It’s very good, not bad compared to foreigners.”

"Frankly speaking, without you, this lithography machine might not be operational until next year."

"I'm not humble in front of you. That's true." Su Yuanshan smiled and said: "You don't know that most of our employees in the past were Ph.D.s and masters, and they were all experienced veterans. They only subsidized me every month. You have to pay nearly 100,000 yuan. Tell me...why am I doing this?"

"Yes, why are you doing it?" Zhou Boguang stared at Su Yuanshan: "Political capital? Or study?"

"It's not that noble... I just don't want to see talents go to waste." Su Yuanshan laughed at himself: "There are only a few people in China who have technical reserves for lithography machines. Once their skills are wasted, I want to use them all in the future. I won’t be able to find anyone at this moment.”

“But it’s too difficult to get photolithography machines in China.”

"There are always more solutions than difficulties. For example, Uncle Zhou, aren't you making progress slowly?"

Zhou Boguang immediately smiled bitterly: "There is no progress. The process technology needs to be constantly debugged and fed with wafers... We are at a disadvantage because we do not have independent technology. We have to learn everything from scratch when we take other people's stuff."

"It's okay, take your time, the team sent abroad will be back at the end of this month. Huh?"

"Yes, we can also invite someone!"

Su Yuanshan raised his eyebrows and immediately smiled.

Zhou Boguang asked curiously: "Who is it?"

"You'll know soon."

Su Yuanshan immediately returned to his desk and dialed Zhang Rujin's mobile phone in Singapore.

After the call was connected, Su Yuanshan stood up straight and said with a smile: "Dr. Zhang, hello, I am Xiao Su from Yuanxin Technology, Su Yuanshan."

"Yes. Haha! Are you busy?"

Zhang Rujin's gentle laughter came from the phone: "That's what you say."

Su Yuanshan knew that Zhang Rujin was always on the front line when building the factory.

"It's like this. Last time you said that the government there has agreed to your request. I have also recruited a lot of people here - can you take the time to visit the country? At the same time, I have some business matters to ask. you."

"Okay. Business?"

"Well, there is a wafer fab here in mainland China, Huajing. Last time, a six-inch production line was introduced, but the process and yield rate have not improved. I would like to ask you to give me some advice."

On the other end of the phone, Zhang Rujin thought for a few seconds before replying: "I may only be able to spare half a month at most."

"It's okay, it's okay. Just take action. Half a month is enough. How about making an appointment?"

Zhang Rujin smiled and said: "It will be the 15th of this month. I will finish the phased work here first."

After hanging up the phone, Su Yuanshan let out a long breath.

Zhou Boguang looked at Su Yuanshan with confusion, not sure who Dr. Zhang he was talking about.

Su Yuanshan smiled and said: "Zhang Rujin is building a factory in Singapore. Last time he promised me to recruit hundreds of people from the mainland into the factory."

Zhou Boguang's eyes widened instantly and he gave a high-five: "Okay! Well done!"

He stood up and took a few steps around. Regardless of the fact that this was Su Yuanshan's office, he put his hands on his waist and laughed loudly: "You can actually invite someone like Zhang Rujin with just one phone call!"

Su Yuanshan joked: "Uncle Zhou, didn't I also invite your people with just one phone call?"

"That's different." Zhou Boguang shook his head: "You have a debt of gratitude to Hua Jing, and we have an old relationship. Of course I will help you to the best of my ability. But Zhang Rujin...how did you meet?"

"Last time I went to Deyi to discuss buying shares, I visited directly."

"Did you directly ask him to find someone from the mainland?"

Su Yuanshan smiled and nodded: "Yes, Dr. Zhang has always wanted to contribute to the semiconductor industry of the motherland."

"Very good, very good!" Zhou Boguang clapped his hands and laughed: "It's only half a month...is it enough?"

"It's not quite enough, but plus what you guys returned from UMC, it should be enough."

…

After work, Zhou Boguang insisted not to let Su Yuanshan work hard, so he had to ask Chen Jing and Qin Weimin to have a casual meal with Zhou Boguang, and finally asked the driver to take him back to Chengguang Station.

In mid-October, Su Yuanshan and Hua Jing went to Shanghai to greet Zhang Rujin. This time he did not stay longer and only stayed in Shanghai for one day. After a tour of Yuanzhong Microelectronics, he returned directly to the provincial capital.

When he returned, Chen Jing was also preparing to take a group of people to Las Vegas to participate in this year’s dealer conference, which is COMDEX’92.

Compared with last year, Yuanxin is not in the limelight this year. We just continue to promote the upgraded LAN version of the EDA and YX architecture and microcontrollers. In addition, there are several small chips, such as power management. Anyway, the emphasis is on participation and familiarity.

After all, there are several exhibitions a year. How can any company come up with awesome new products every few months?

And Su Yuanshan knows that no matter how awesome Yuanxin is... he can't steal Intel's limelight.

Because at the COMDEX’92 exhibition, Andy Grove will showcase the awesome new CPU-Pentium.

Once Pentium came out, the copycats could no longer fish in troubled waters regarding trademarks.

…

After sending Chen Jing and his party away, Su Yuanshan returned to the office. As soon as he sat down, he saw Tian Yaoming rushing in with a young man.

"Xiaoshan, done!"

"Did you get the text message?" Su Yuanshan looked up. He looked at Tian Yaoming, and then at the young man beside Tian Yaoming.

This person is about in his early twenties, wearing myopia glasses, and is somewhat dark and thin. Although I was a little excited and nervous when I saw myself, I still hid it well.

Su Yuanshan always felt that this person looked familiar.

It's not... it looks familiar as I saw it in Yuanxin, but it looks familiar in my memory.

"Who is this senior brother?"

"Hello, Mr. Xiaoshan, my name is Li Yinan." The young man nodded slightly to Su Yuanshan.

Tian Yaoming patted Li Yinan on the shoulder and laughed: "Yinan is from the junior class of Huazhong Science and Technology. He is in his second year of master's degree and has just come to our internship. He is the one who figured out the SMS system you mentioned."

Su Yuanshan opened his mouth. After a while, the smile slowly rose.

No wonder he looked familiar, he turned out to be the "traitor" of his old club!

Oh no, I should add a prefix, genius traitor.

The butterfly wings were indeed... unspeakable, this person actually came to me.
