1991 Starting from the core

"Everyone says that the second generation of rich people rely on their parents to protect them. Why do I feel like it's the other way around?"

Su Yuanshan moved his wrist, looked at the draft and sighed.

On the side, Zhou Xiaohui was busy studying secretly, looking at Xicai's MBA textbooks - when Xicai just launched the MBA course last year, Su Yuanshan encouraged her to take the exam, saying that she only needed to pay for the course. But the textbooks are quite useful, and they are all translated from foreign countries, so she must study them carefully.

When Zhou Xiaohui heard this, she pursed her lips and smiled: "This shows that those who are capable work hard, Mr. Shan."

"Alas..." Su Yuanshan sighed again: "Let me take a look at the chip import reports for the past five years."

Zhou Xiaohui quickly found the report accurately from a pile of documents beside her and handed it to Su Yuanshan.

Su Yuanshan looked at the data and flicked the paper with his fingertips: "Look, in the past few years, more than 90% of the country has relied on imports."

“And it’s expensive.”

"Yeah, it's very expensive. Especially the microcontroller. If it weren't for my dad, hey..." Su Yuanshan laughed, and then continued to write the report.

The report is very simple. It is actually a prediction of the impact of the semiconductor industry on the future industrial field - or a bold prediction.

In fact, there has never been a shortage of radical predictions about the future in academia, but most of these voices occur in academia because of the lack of data and theoretical support for industry development. Therefore, once these radical predictions are seriously investigated, there are many loopholes.

For example, in the Yuanxin Think Tank, which has been established for nearly a year, many scholars' theories are very advanced because they are deeply inspired by the development of Yuanxin... but they have not received much attention.

Su Yuanshan wanted to reverse this situation, so he decided to take action personally...

There is no one more suitable than him to write about the development and impact of semiconductors, because he has experienced it for the next twenty years and knows how far the semiconductor industry, Internet industry, and mobile Internet industry will progress.

But to be persuasive, you must be rigorous. To be rigorous, all aspects must be involved. This is far from being clear by predicting the development of the manufacturing process based on Moore's Law and the number of transistors.

——You know, Pentium CPU has been officially released for a year now, and some people still say that 486 is enough!

——Coincidentally, I don’t know if it’s the same group of people. When 486 appeared, some people said that 386 was enough.

Pushing back further, when 64-bit CPUs and operating systems came out, countless people said that 32-bit is enough, what can 64-bit do?

When 4G came out, some people said that 3G would be enough...

When 5G came out, some people still said...

…

The tip of the pen quickly passed across the paper, and Su Yuanshan said to himself: "The only martial arts in the world that can't be broken is fast. Apart from X life, who doesn't want to be fast?"

Zhou Xiaohui: "..."

…

Two days later, the dusty Professor Su Xinghe rushed to Shanghai.

Su Yuanshan handed the report to his father, and the two revised some parts of the report that related to sensitive information.

The Shanghai Municipal Government also attaches great importance to this semiconductor conference. Not only the leaders have to attend in person, but Zhang Rujin, who is busy in the Zhangjiang factory area, will also be invited to attend.

Therefore, Su Yuanshan was "brought" in by his father.

On the 21st, at 9 a.m., the 3rd Semiconductor Conference will officially open at the Shanghai International Convention Center.

At this time, the semiconductor conference was only for the domestic market, and was more of an internal seminar within the industry. The process is similar to that of a general working meeting. The leader’s speech is followed by expert speeches, summarizing and analyzing the current situation and future of the semiconductor industry.

The second half is for industry bosses and school professors to communicate freely in the lounge, which can also be held in the form of a small meeting. Then we have another meal in the evening and break up the next day.

The same goes for this year's process.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Su Yuanshan went to the conference center with his father. At the door, he met Zhou Boguang, whose face was glowing.

Su Xinghe knew that Zhou Boguang was more familiar with his son. In order to avoid embarrassment, he said hello to Zhou Boguang and went to chat with other acquaintances.

"Uncle Zhou, congratulations." Su Yuanshan and Zhou Boguang walked side by side to the venue.

Zhou Boguang has become the director of Huajing Semiconductor Research Institute this year and deserves congratulations.

"Haha, congratulations for what?" Zhou Boguang glanced sideways at Su Yuanshan, feeling a little emotional in his heart, and said with a smile: "And if you act like this, you will be an enemy when we meet again in the future."

"How is it possible? You have already achieved mass production of 0.8 micron, right? Our photomask factory has not been built yet." Su Yuanshan said modestly: "Maybe after we build it, your 0.5 micron process will be completed."

"Difficult!" Zhou Boguang smiled and shook his head: "Ours is an imported complete machine line, which is not as good as yours. I heard that you directly bought the most advanced lithography machine?"

"It's useless without process technology, and it's said that the photolithography machine won't be delivered until the end of the year." Su Yuanshan glanced at Zhou Boguang a few more times. He always felt that something was wrong with the old man's state.

But he couldn't tell exactly what was wrong.

It stands to reason that Zhou Boguang, as the boss of Huajing R\u0026D Center, should be worried after seeing the rise of Yuanxin, a strong enemy. Of course, he believes that with Zhou Boguang's character, it is impossible for him to alienate Su Yuanshan.

But you shouldn't be happy.

Then Su Yuanshan thought of a possibility and asked tentatively: "How much has the country given you?"

Hearing this, Zhou Boguang was slightly startled. He looked at Su Yuanshan in surprise: "Your nose..."

Su Yuanshan understood immediately and laughed.

really!

Because Su Yuanshan spared no effort to help Huajing from the beginning, the 908 was launched several years ahead of schedule, and the time for mass production was also greatly advanced.

Today's Huajing is no longer the domestic semiconductor giant that was embarrassed and helpless in history, and finally fell in misery. Just at the beginning of this year, it ended two consecutive years of losses and achieved a turnaround.

In the foreseeable future, as the technology matures, its profits will greatly increase.

In a sense, although the country is happy for companies like Yuanxin to emerge, Yuanxin... is still a private company after all.

Therefore, it is normal for the state to squeeze out some money to re-arm Huajing, its grown-up son, so as not to be "stealed" by private companies like Yuanxin.

What's more, the current major problem in the semiconductor industry is still the insufficient self-production rate of chips. If the state invests in Huajing, it is indeed a sure-profit deal.

Hua Jing actually got up secretly, which really made Su Yuanshan very emotional.
