1991 Starting from the core

Su Yuanshan knew that Zheng Zhenchuan obviously didn't call him to discuss cooperation on the phone. He might just suddenly feel powerless - Su Yuanshan had experienced this feeling countless times in the past.

Therefore, he could understand Zheng Zhenchuan's mood very well.

"It's okay, Uncle Zheng, we'll talk about it when you come back."

After hanging up the phone, Su Yuanshan shook his head at Chen Jing: "Look, he is another big spender."

Chen Jing opened her mouth and sighed: "You always say that the industry will be subdivided in the future, but you are spreading your business everywhere."

Su Yuanshan put away his big brother, stood up, walked to the glass window, and stared at the neon lights in the night sky in silence.

After a long time, he turned to look at Chen Jing and said with a smile: "The prerequisite for industry segmentation is the existence of industry. As far as the field of lithography machines is concerned, if Chengguang Institute is delayed again, it will miss the ticket in the future. "

Chen Jing also said silently: "Is this why you don't want Yuanxin to go public? You can spend as much money as you like."

"Well, how good is it that I alone have the final say?" Su Yuanshan replied casually, but immediately realized that the person in front of him was the professional manager he had worked so hard to recruit, and added: "Of course, you have the final say."

Chen Jing was amused by his tone, shook her head and said with a smile: "If you really want to do it, just poach them all."

"First of all, it may not be possible to dig it out. Secondly, don't think that if the government has no money, it will be of no use. Policy support is always more useful than money. What's more, the government cannot always be without money."

Chen Jing thought for a while and nodded, agreeing with his statement.

"Then I won't disturb your rest. I'll go down and chat with my senior brother for a while."

…

In the guest room downstairs, Qin Weimin and Chen Jianguo were chatting when Su Yuanshan knocked on the door.

Seeing Su Yuanshan going downstairs swinging his briefcase, Qin Weimin chuckled and said, "We were just guessing how long it would take for you to go downstairs."

Su Yuanshan glanced at his senior brother with disdain: "Senior brother, do you have a formal appearance?"

"What do you understand? We are talking about you two discussing business." Qin Weimin fired back calmly.

Su Yuanshan was suddenly choked.

"Come in, Jianguo has something to tell you." Qin Weimin smiled slightly and closed the door.

After the three brothers sat down, Chen Jianguo said seriously: "Xiaoshan, UMC is indeed powerful, and the 486 they imitated is still very strong. The plan only has 40MHz, and later mentioned 50MHz, which can equal Intel's U at the same frequency. .”

Qin Weimin chuckled and said: "It's a pity that Intel just released Pentium this year."

Chen Jianguo also laughed and said: "Yeah, I heard that Inetl released Pentium in Las Vegas, and the whole team was very angry. Moreover, Intel also knew that UMC was doing it. It is said that it had warned in advance that if it dared to publish it, it would sue immediately. Them, let them take no chances.”

Su Yuanshan nodded: "Isn't it okay to only enter the mainland market?"

"United Microelectronics also has factories in Silicon Valley... Intel wants to sue them. Once established, they will not be able to enter the Western market. The fine will not escape them. So now UMC has split into two factions. One faction hopes and Intel is suing for peace to see if it can beg for authorization. The other faction is the foundry faction, which hopes to cut off the IC design department as soon as possible and concentrate on foundry manufacturing."

Su Yuanshan shook his head and silently mourned for UMC in his heart for a few seconds.

Historically, UMC's CPUs were sued by Intel. Even if the chip was printed with "Not for U.S. sale or import (not for U.S. sale or import)", it still could not escape the bad luck and finally chose to give up.

Chen Jianguo looked at Su Yuanshan and smiled: "But they are suppressed by Intel, which is good news for us."

Su Yuanshan immediately asked: "Are they planning to buy the YX architecture?"

Chen Jianguo chuckled: "How should I answer? I can only say that the will is very strong - it is said that the island and the country are in contact, right?"

Su Yuanshan breathed out gently, nodded slowly with a smile: "Yes."

Just this month, there will be a series of meetings in Hong Kong, and before the end of the year, a far-reaching consensus will be reached. Businessmen on the island began to increase investment in the mainland, and the mainland also provided preferential policies to the island...

As for what will happen in future generations, Su Yuanshan will not comment.

He only said one thing: Too many sacrifices have been made in the country.

But for now, it is beneficial to the country if both sides reach a friendly consensus. The influx of a large amount of capital and enterprises has objectively promoted the progress of the industry.

The calendar turns to November.

Three days ago, Emperor Niguo returned to Niguo after his visit, and NEC technicians responsible for building dust-free workshops went back with him.

Both the official and the private sector believe that this will push the relationship between China and Japan to a new peak. For a time, Niguo's domestic loan assistance and investment set off another wave of enthusiasm.

Some analysts have predicted that Niguo’s investment will reach US$2.2 billion this year and US$3 billion next year.

Unfortunately, most of these investments are not in the manufacturing industry, let alone the semiconductor industry.

(Note: For relevant data, please see the article "A Brief Discussion on Japan's Investment in China and Its Characteristics in the 1990s". The full text can be viewed for free on Aixuexue.com. PS: I like Aixuehua so much...)

From the perspective of Niguo, even if there are top domestic companies like Yuanxin, they are still cautious about the domestic semiconductor market - one company alone cannot stimulate the demand of the entire industry.

From the perspective of Ni Guo, or from the perspective of most countries, the domestic environment and poverty are the root cause.

…

"No matter how poor you are, you can't afford scientific research."

Standing in front of the dust-free workshop, Su Yuanshan smiled at Zheng Zhenchuan.

After receiving the news that the prototype of the lithography machine could be sold, Zheng Zhenchuan immediately escorted the prototype to Yuanxin Technology Park.

Zheng Zhenchuan smiled and shook his head, looking at the science and technology park, which was larger than the Chengguang Institute, and at the desks, chairs and other office supplies that continued to enter the offices and laboratory buildings in the distance, feeling slightly lost.

He knew that Yuan Xin was very ambitious and wealthy, but... his requirements were also very demanding.

Zheng Zhenchuan's mouth was slightly bitter: "But your request... I don't think it's anything, but it will definitely be difficult for the higher-ups to accept it."

Su Yuanshan's request to Zheng Zhenchuan and the others was very simple.

Moved into Yuanxin and implemented strict control of funds according to the industry-university-research model.

In a word, Yuanxin can provide money, but the money must be put into practice, and every penny must be used for scientific research.

Scientific research here, in addition to parts and materials, also includes subsidies and rewards for scientific researchers.

Such a result is undoubtedly the best for ordinary scientific researchers and the scientific research project itself.

But when it comes to cooperating units... it's a bit domineering.

No matter how much money is taken care of, people will have to come to Yuanxin to return it.

Where is the face of the Chinese Academy of Sciences?

"It's nothing difficult to accept." Su Yuanshan stepped back and let the staff who were carrying the equipment enter the scene, and raised the corner of his mouth: "You contact the Institute of Optics and Mechanics, and we will also contact the Electrical Engineering Department here, as the Electrical Engineering Department. Ministry.”

"At that time, the three parties will formally join forces to support industry, academia and research."

"At the same time... we can promise to invest at least 500 million in special funds in the field of lithography machines. If there is a breakthrough in the project..."

Zheng Zhenchuan staggered and hurriedly interrupted Su Yuanshan.

"How many did you say?"

"Five billion."
