1991 Starting from the core

The bigger the stall gets, the more Su Yuanshan feels the urgency of the scarcity of talents.

Deyuan Semiconductor currently has three eight-inch chip lines under construction and employs more than 2,000 people. Among the more than 2,000 people, except for those who were poached by Zhang Rujin from all over the world, only the group of people who returned to the country from Singapore were part of the establishment—these experienced employees totaled just over 500 people.

This means that Deyuan is currently relying solely on the old to lead the new.

——Of course, although the wafer factory is a factory that produces the most precise parts in the world, it is still the same as an ordinary factory. It emphasizes the old and the new, and the master leads the apprentice.

Without strong leadership, it will indeed take a certain amount of time for such a talent echelon and combination to become productive after it is completed and put into production, let alone the more advanced 0.5 micron process - you know, except for a very few people who are watching Zhang Rujin, a big boss who came from Deyuan, has been exposed to the most advanced 0.8 micron process.

So, Vincenti's reasoning is, in a sense, correct.

But Su Yuanshan couldn't afford to wait. He knew all too well how terrifying a fab with a cutting-edge manufacturing process could make money - it was comparable to a money printing factory.

So as early as half a year ago, Su Yuanshan asked Zhang Rujin to contact some talents on the island, such as Cai Lixing, Liang Mengsong, etc. But firstly, Zhang Rujin was too busy, and secondly... After all, Zhang Zhongmou was Zhang Rujin's old superior, so even if he wanted to recruit people, it would take a while.

The Spring Festival is a good time to recruit people to find new jobs.

…

The next day, Su Yuanshan went to the Special Administrative Region.

Getting on Duan Yongping's Mercedes-Benz, Su Yuanshan went straight to the factory.

Along the way, Duan Yongping didn't talk much about the mobile phone business he was directly responsible for, but more about factory integration.

"The main thing is money. Our budget here is a bit overrun." Duan Yongping and Su Yuanshan were sitting in the back row. When it came to money, he became a little embarrassed: "The relocation and renovation are too urgent, even if our budget team They were very professional, but they still didn’t expect that the SAR’s economy would overheat in the second half of this year… In order to save time and leave a good impression on the local people, we had no choice but to make some concessions.”

"Well, it's okay." Su Yuanshan has now gradually left the financial report review and handed it over to Zhou Xiaohui. He knew that the money spent here was a bit aggressive, but according to Chen Jing, it was still within control.

"Not only is the special zone hot this year, but the entire national economy is also hot... after all, they are working overtime to print money." Su Yuanshan said with a smile.

"If the country prints money again next year, the inflation will be unstoppable." Duan Yongping joked with a smile: "In the past three years, more than 100 billion have been printed every year..."

"Yeah, but according to me, I'll probably have to take a break next year."

Su Yuanshan knew that in history, the country also printed a lot of money in recent years. From 60 billion in 1991, it suddenly doubled to 120 billion in 1992, and then in 93 and 94, it issued about 150 billion new dollars every year... ...It was only in 1995 that it dropped to around 60 billion.

The direct result of printing money is inflation, and the local economy where money is piled up begins to heat up.

And once the economy heats up, companies like Yuanxin that are engaged in integration will face many problems of asking for prices.

"The main reason is that the country is worried about continued inflation. The common people still have fresh memories of the legal currency from decades ago... Speaking of which, my family still has hundreds of millions of legal currency." Duan Yongping laughed: "If that thing can be compared with the RMB Why should I bother to exchange it directly..."

Su Yuanshan glanced at him and said with a faint smile: "If I give you a few hundred million yuan, do you really want to retire?"

"Hehe...just a joke."

Duan Yongping was appointed as vice president just at the beginning of the month and hosted the monthly meeting for Chen Jing.

Frankly speaking, Duan Yongping really "tasted" the sweetness of power when the President's Office handed Duan Yongping documents and reports one after another for him to review.

——Due to the nature of Yuanxin, it is difficult for the outside world to know the real business, specific development and even scale of Yuanxin. Even Duan Yongping, the director of the mobile communications division, only knows the situation of his own department. Other departments can only rely on various data at the meeting to analyze and make guesses...

And when he saw the reports from various departments of Yuanxin, he really had an intuitive understanding of Yuanxin's power.

From the VCD department to the CPU department, and then to the financial reports sent by Zhongxin - when he attended monthly meetings and quarterly summaries before, he had never seen Chen Jing say how much revenue or budget he had. I saw Chen Jing flipping through the documents very lightly every time, and then asking about the progress of various departments.

In short, he thought Yue Hui would be just like him in Little Overlord, probably just a formality.

It was only after hosting the monthly meeting that I realized that every page of the documents in Chen Jing's hands was filled with industry-subverting data, and each one was so heavy that it made people palpitate.

So...retirement? Give it another thirty years!

"This time I'm here, actually, it's not about you, but about the Internet Center." Su Yuanshan did not continue to talk about retirement, but turned to the purpose of this trip.

"Well, the relationship with us there... isn't very close." Duan Yongping thought for a while before finally choosing an appropriate description, and smiled and said: "Maybe they are engaged in the Internet, and we are engaged in manufacturing. , there is no common language.”

"That's the problem." Su Yuanshan smiled.

At the beginning, he asked Pony and Ding Lei to develop in the special zone. In addition to being a special zone and very close to the HK Internet Exchange Center, there was also a little... reason why the nature of the Internet was not very consistent with Yuanxin's temperament.

Since EDA was separated, Yuanxin headquarters no longer has a professional programming team - not counting the YXLAB developed by Xi Xiaoding's Pandora Laboratory. The remaining heavyweight teams are all chip design departments.

Even the operating system department is a secondary department under Tian Yaoming...

This has resulted in the fact that although the Science and Technology Park is the earliest Internet user in China, in fact... it does not fit well with the Internet or programming.

A few months ago, Ding Lei expressed his hope to develop independently - the reason was also very good, because he was afraid that Yuanxin would not be able to afford the money.

In other words, they are afraid that Yuanxin will not support the ambitions of those who are engaged in the Internet.

Su Yuanshan's attitude towards this was, if it's going to rain and my mother wants to get married, then let him be.

But Su Yuanshan also gave them a conservative deadline at that time, letting them wait until after the New Year this year.

Now that we are about to reach the end of the year, it is also time to talk about the future development direction of the Internet Center, and... more importantly, the issue of cooperation with Sony.

Su Yuanshan hopes to get Sony on board, and rely on Sony's influence in audio-visual products and audio copyrights to develop the audio-visual aspect first.

Let’s first pave the way for MP3 in the west, and then start a China-Nissan collaboration with Netflix.
