1991 Starting from the core

Later, Fujio became the father of flash memory. Even under an unreliable owner like Toshiba, he continued his efforts and developed NAND flash memory, which greatly reduced the manufacturing cost of flash memory.

However, Toshiba only rewarded Fujio with a few hundred dollars - note, it was a few hundred dollars, not "ten thousand", and then gave him a sinecure and dismissed him. So Fuji couldn't be more ambitious, so he simply resigned and went to teach at a university...

Toshiba is now beginning to taste the bitter consequences of this urinary nature.

It is clear that both NOR flash memory and NAND flash memory were invented by Toshiba, but in the long history of the future, it has not made even a little splash...

Even for the sake of face, for a long time, Toshiba did not even admit that NOR flash was invented by them, but said that it was invented by Intel.

It wasn't until 1997 that IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) awarded Fujio a Special Contribution Award that Toshiba changed its tune.

This made Fujio very angry, and he sued Toshiba for one billion yen...

Therefore, after learning that FarCore had bypassed Toshiba's NAND patent, Deyi had only one word in mind.

--Cool!

…

"I put forward our demands to the headquarters." Zhang Rujin knew the main reason why Su Yuanshan came to Shanghai this time, and quickly got to the point after chatting for a few words.

"Then what?"

"I didn't get a specific reply." Zhang Rujin put on his glasses, his expression suddenly became serious, and after a few seconds of silence, he said softly: "Although the headquarters has high hopes for the wafer fab in Shanghai, the real profit points are still in the few towns to the west. A wafer fab - the technology there is mature and the industrial chain is complete."

"Well..." Su Yuanshan nodded.

He can understand Deyi's mentality.

On the one hand, the 0.5 micron process is currently the most advanced process. Whoever masters it will master the code of wealth. Even if there are no restrictions on technology exports, it is understandable for Deyi to cherish his own business.

After all, Texas Instruments only holds less than 40% of the shares in the Shanghai wafer fab.

On the other hand, TI is also worried that the Shanghai stock market will gradually lose control after mastering the process. After all, even in the so-called "Sino-US honeymoon period", the technology and equipment exported to the mainland from the west are one to two generations behind. , or even second-hand goods...

Not to mention whether it can set a precedent for transferring the most advanced technology, Deyi doesn't want to do it anyway.

"What about the progress of our self-research?" Su Yuanshan did not continue to ask further. He knew that Lao Zhang would not play a big role in this matter.

"Self-research... we have to wait until the foundry is established. And..." Zhang Rujin licked his lips and whispered: "The technology we master now is not complete."

Su Yuanshan sighed softly.

Zhang Rujin said apologetically: "The main reason is that the 0.5 micron process is currently the most advanced process, and it has not been launched in other fabs, especially in the island and Singapore."

"Hmm...it's okay. I'll make an appointment with Mr. Vincenti then."

"Mr. Vincenti praised you very much." Zhang Rujin looked at Su Yuanshan: "But he can't make the decision in this matter."

Su Yuanshan chuckled: "It's okay, they can't help it."

Zhang Rujin was slightly startled: "What method do you want to use?"

"Tie them up and get in the car." Su Yuanshan pursed his lips, then grinned.

…

Zhang Rujin refused to go back to the hotel and wanted to go back to the wafer factory, so Su Yuanshan had no choice but to let him go and send him back to the wafer factory dormitory without beating him and let him get over the jet lag first.

Later, Su Yuanshan met with Chen Jianguo who had just returned from a business trip - he did not mention Chen Jianguo's progress at all, but was quite concerned about Zhou Xingbo - this time Zhou Xingbo also went on a business trip with Chen Jianguo to learn vapor precipitation technology.

Anyway, the preparation of graphene also requires meteorological precipitation technology. It is said that if the east is not bright, the west will be bright.

"Zhou Xingbo is quite good." Chen Jianguo poured a glass of boiling water for Su Yuanshan and said cheerfully: "My understanding ability is quite good, but following Lao Lu is a bit of a humiliation."

Su Yuanshan glanced at the door and then said: "What kind of teacher teaches what kind of students? Old Lu has been practicing for so many years, Zhou Xingbo... I also thought he was a little salty, so I sent him here to educate him and let him see what he can do." What is scientific research like? If you can’t do this, then I can only find a random paper and let him publish it as a second author, which can be regarded as an explanation to Lao Lu.”

"Pfft...Ren Lao Lu is no longer a salty fish, okay? I finally taught you such a genius..." Chen Jianguo said and laughed: "Mom, I don't even believe this."

Su Yuanshan burst out laughing.

His physics is really self-taught - which is why everyone in Yuanxin and the Department of Electrical Engineering who knows him deeply admires him.

"By the way, sister-in-law Yiwen is back. Let's go to the Blues Club tonight?"

"Yeah, okay." Chen Jianguo nodded: "Is she afraid she has to get the certificate with Wenjie?"

"I don't know. I guess I have to wait until Senior Brother Wenjie graduates to receive it."

"Then we have to wait at least two years." Chen Jianguo said and sighed: "Wenjie will be a sea turtle when he comes back... That damn fat guy, he replies in English every time he replies to emails, saying he wants to practice our foreign language skills... What's wrong with him? Even if I don’t send it to you in English?”

"That's because my English doesn't need practice."

"..."

That night, it was almost midnight when Su Yuanshan returned to the hotel.

After entering the living room, he took out his mobile phone and started dialing Vincenti's office number.

"If my clock is correct, Su, it should be early at night over there, right?" Vincenti's voice sounded slightly distorted on the phone.

"Yes." Su Yuanshan sat on the sofa, holding the mobile phone in his left hand and the signature pen in his right hand, lightly sketching on the notebook: "Mr. Vincenti, although I don't think it is normal to discuss transactions on the phone. matter. But it just expresses the importance I attach to the following demands."

Su Yuanshan smiled as he said this: "I can't chat with you in the middle of the night, right?"

The other end of the phone also smiled silently: "Please tell me."

"Deyuan Semiconductor is a joint enterprise between us. Both Deyuan Semiconductor and Deyuan are responsible for its future."

"Yes."

Su Yuanshan narrowed his eyes and said softly: "Deyuan Semiconductor will take on the important task of Yuanxin moving towards IDM (vertically integrated manufacturing, from design to packaging, all from one source). You won't refute it, right?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds before answering: "Yes."

"So, Deyuan Semiconductor's process technology is very important to Yuanxin, right?"

There was silence on the phone again for a few seconds.

"Su, I can understand how you feel."

Su Yuanshan grinned and said softly: "If you ignore the future of Deyuan Semiconductor, then Deyuan Semiconductor will have no choice but to speed up the progress of self-developed technology."

Vincenti's cautious voice came from the other end of the phone: "Yes... we hope so too."

"Haha, since you don't care about Deyuan's future, you probably don't mind if Deyuan's shares are diluted in order to improve the progress of process research and development, right?"

"Yes...Oh! NO!"
