1991 Starting from the core

As Chen Jing knew, the reason why Su Yuanshan decided to go to the island so quickly was because he really wanted to take this opportunity to communicate with UMC again.

Last year, my father personally took action to connect UMC with the SAR. At that time, both parties were very interested, but as the Chinese New Year approached, the cooperation between the two parties was temporarily put on hold.

Su Yuanshan didn't know the specific situation, but this kind of business that hadn't been negotiated for three months would probably go south if no external force intervened or one party made concessions.

He has to understand the situation, and even if it is not for the SAR government, he must consider the next step for Yuanxin.

The introduction of wafer fabs cannot be considered solely from the perspective of taxation.

In fact, if foreign investment is introduced to build a wafer factory, it will be tax-free for three years. The significance is that not only can it provide a large number of components that need to be imported, it can also provide a large number of engineers and jobs - it is a high-end industry, not a low-end assembly line factory, and it cannot be done by graduating from junior high school.

These talents and positions are currently most in short supply in the country.

…

Meijie's design center is located in the factory. When Chen Jing took him in, almost all the engineers stood up and applauded.

This surprised Su Yuanshan - he originally thought that there was a person who had "eyes that don't recognize", and then Chen Jing stepped up to help him slap him in the face, or he himself slapped him in the face.

"Warmly welcome Mr. Su."

Chen Daohua was recuperating at home, and the person in charge of the design department was Huang Yaoting, the head of the IC department. Seeing Su Yuanshan, he looked excited: "We are looking forward to it!"

"Brother Yaoting, you're welcome. We are brotherly enterprises, and we should share the same responsibility when we have difficulties." Su Yuanshan smiled and shook hands: "Let's hold a technical meeting first. I discussed it with Mr. Chen yesterday and sorted out my thoughts. , and strive to perfect the chip functions as soon as possible."

"Yes, yes, right away! This way, please."

After a while, a dozen designers flooded into the conference room, and everyone looked at him with expectation.

Su Yuanshan smiled slightly: "You should have received Mr. Chen's email, right?"

"received."

"Very good, let me explain the technical implementation in detail."

After the meeting, Su Yuanshan and Huang Yaoting immediately devoted themselves to chip design - Huang Yaoting was Meijie's expert in BIOS design.

At this time, the BIOS market was still an era of disputes among the leading players. AMI, AWARD, PHOENIX, and even BYOSOFT all had good markets.

In this case, it is a bit troublesome to develop a simple external diagnostic card, but it is not troublesome to integrate it on the motherboard - because you only need to consider the BIOS used by the factory.

For example, Meijie currently uses AWARD's BIOS.

…

One day for planning, two days for writing hardware description language, and the fourth day for simulation.

——Su Yuanshan once again showed Meijie’s designers what true strength is.

Day five.

"Take a rest today."

Su Yuanshan had just shaved his beard - as someone who had been there, he simply didn't hate the fact that he had a hairy beard in adolescence and didn't shave it off.

"Well, the promise is tomorrow." Chen Jing sat diagonally across from him with her legs together, looking at him with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work."

"Fortunately, I can give myself some rest when I come out this time."

Chen Jing was startled, and suddenly realized that Su Yuanshan had been designing CPUs during the day for most of the past six months, and then he had to study physics by himself after get off work...

"You... well, if just thinking about one question counts as resting your brain, I agree." Chen Jing pursed her lips and smiled, then shook her head and said: "Ashamed, I don't really understand the world of academic masters. "

"Haha, you're a top student, you're all forced to do it."

"..."

Seeing Chen Jing become speechless, Su Yuanshan blinked: "Why don't you speak?"

"You chatted to death."

"Have it?"

"Yes, at least I don't know how to answer it." Chen Jing said with a smile: "When I talk about work and technology with you, you talk endlessly. But once we don't talk about these, you can easily lose control of the world. Damn it, I don’t know what your brain is thinking.”

"Really? Why didn't I feel it?" Su Yuanshan smiled.

Chen Jing spread her hands at him: "Look... we're going to talk to death again. If you ask the same question twice in a row, I don't know how to answer."

"Let's talk about a topic that's not easy to talk about. Sister Jing, let's talk about you, such as your school, your friends, boyfriend... and so on."

Su Yuanshan crossed his arms: "Don't worry, I will praise you."

"...There's nothing to talk about. It's just reading, studying, and doing internships."

"What about the boyfriend?"

"broke up."

Su Yuanshan was startled and said without mercy: "Isn't that person a fool?"

Chen Jing pursed her lips and smiled: "I dumped her."

"..." Su Yuanshan was speechless: "You should be, you are so good. But, women who are too good should be careful about becoming the most outstanding woman in the world."

Chen Jing was startled: "Monkey King? What do you mean?"

"Well... if you stay single and don't get married, aren't you just left? Left women, left men. If you are left for a long time, you will be left fighters..."

When Chen Jing heard this explanation, she smiled: "I'm only 22 years old!"

"Didn't you turn 22 last year?"

“There are still 3 months until I turn 23!”

Su Yuanshan was happy: "...Are you so fussy about it?"

"As for...otherwise, if I am too much older than you, I always feel something is wrong." Chen Jing said with a smile, meeting Su Yuanshan's eyes, and suddenly felt a little flustered.

Biting her lip, Chen Jing quickly stood up: "Let's go, I'll take you around the island."

"good."

Su Yuanshan nodded with a smile.

In fact, he didn't want to go shopping at all.

And he knew that according to Chen Jing's habit, shopping was probably shopping, in a shopping mall, right?

Three hours later.

really……

Not only did she take him shopping and shopping, she also helped him buy a bunch of clothes.

The kind that must be accepted.

…

At half past eight the next day, Chen Jing knocked on Su Yuanshan's door on time.

After getting in the car, Su Yuanshan closed his eyes slightly and softly discussed the current situation of the island's semiconductor industry with Chen Jing.

At present, rising stars have emerged. Although old people like Mei Jie can still rely on their original channels to survive, everyone knows that the semiconductor industry is the easiest industry to create miracles - for example, Yuanxin.

It has only been two years since Yuanxin completed its miraculous rise and became a presence that the entire industry cannot ignore.

But semiconductors are the industry most vulnerable to failure.

Not only will it be affected by periodic cold winters, but it will also be affected by the "route".

To put it bluntly, if the direction of development is wrong, then we will make one wrong step after another until we head towards the abyss.

For example, Mei Jie almost took the wrong path.

Fortunately, Su Yuanshan corrected him in time.

Now, although UMC is still the largest semiconductor company on the island, it still feels nervous.

What Su Yuanshan has to do now is to intensify its sense of urgency and make UMC realize that putting a basket in the mainland is the best choice.
