1991 Starting from the core

"However, expanding the production line, and it is still a 0.5 micron production line... requires funds that Deyuan cannot afford at present." Zhang Rujin immediately raised a very specific question after nodding: "In addition, the current international situation It is very detrimental to the introduction of domestic equipment..."

"Well, that's why we have to seize the time." Su Yuanshan gritted his teeth, took a sip from the water glass, and said solemnly: "Although we are not involved in politics as a business, it is undeniable that as long as we are a business, we will be affected by politics. .As for money... we can consider bringing in new shareholders.”

"New shareholder?"

"Well, Xinghai Fund now has a lot of cash, and is worried about finding a place to invest... If Deyuan really needs money, I can help introduce it."

"Recommendation?" Zhang Rujin was stunned by Su Yuanshan's words: "Xinghai Fund...isn't yours?"

"...Theoretically, I am only one of the founders and shareholders of Xinghai Fund." Su Yuanshan smiled slightly: "Sometimes, even if it is my money, I can't just use it."

"..."

"As for the issue of equipment introduction caused by the international situation... As long as we move faster and find some influential lobbying teams when it is still just public opinion, there should be no problem. What's more... there is currently only one production line The most core equipment in the industry, the lithography machine, does not have any domestic substitutes."

Speaking of the lithography machine, Zhang Rujin and Liang Mengsong were startled at the same time, and then laughed together.

In their opinion, the lithography machine of Chengguang Institute is really difficult to produce, and...it still has a long way to go before it can be marketed and commercialized.

Su Yuanshan also felt that it was a bit unreliable to count on the optical research center's photolithography machine that "claimed" to be able to achieve 0.5 micron. He immediately smiled and said: "As long as we have it, a hole will be opened in the west. It's an old skill - so That photolithography machine has great symbolic meaning.”

"If that photolithography machine is used in the 1-micron process, it can indeed advance the market." Liang Mengsong smiled and said: "I heard that Huajing has an interest?"

"Well, we have to give people some hope. Nearly half of Huajing's production capacity is 2 micron... The 1 micron lithography machine can just make up for their production line."

After hearing what Su Yuanshan said, everyone laughed unkindly.

Deyuan's manufacturing process started with 0.8 micron, and is gradually moving towards the 0.5 micron process. Not only that, the 0.35 micron team has also been formed, and Liang Mengsong personally leads the team to tackle key problems.

In addition, Deyuan and Chen Jianguo's team have been working on the copper wire manufacturing process - although the progress is slow, this is how technological breakthroughs are made, except for the luck of materials science. The so-called success is nothing more than traveling all the paths of failure.

It can be said that compared to Huajing, Deyuan is already far ahead.

Su Yuanshan shook his head and sighed: "Actually, we have to thank Huajing. Without Huajing... we would have to hold our noses and eat the lithography machine. In that case, our product line would be too wide."

He definitely can't give up on the photolithography machine. After three years of raising a lithography machine team, we finally got some results. If we don’t put them on the market to give the team confidence, the team will be scrapped sooner or later...

Therefore, Su Yuanshan had long ago planned to build a wafer fab in the Special Administrative Region that mainly uses domestic photolithography equipment to produce semiconductor components that do not require high quality and precision.

However, as the country entered the market in advance and vigorously supported Huajing, the task of supporting domestic lithography machines fell on Huajing.

After all, Chengguang Institute is also a national unit.

…

Here Deyuan wants to expand and introduce funds. Although in theory the decision can be made after Yuanxin, the major shareholder and the management team, agree, but considering the relationship with Deyi, work there still needs to be done.

After all, long-term cooperation is the only way for everyone to make money together.

The next day, Su Yuanshan had a meeting with the newly established MP3 main control chip team in the Shanghai Science and Technology Park, and the person in charge of the main control chip team this time was also an acquaintance - he had followed Li Mingliu in the "Southern and Northern War". One of the veterans is Luo Ming, who graduated from the Microelectronics Department of Nankai University.

Luo Ming was one of the second batch of social recruitment employees to join Yuanxin. He once stayed up late with Li Mingliu to work on decoding chips, and also followed Li Mingliu to "play around" at Chengguang Institute. After Li Mingliu arrived at the science and technology park here, he also I followed him and have been responsible for the specific design work.

——Looking at his work arrangements, you can tell that Luo Ming is not very good at innovation.

Luo Ming can be arranged to be in charge of the main control chip team. On the one hand, it is because the demand for the main control chip this time is clear and ready-made IP is available - Yuanxin has signed a contract with Yuanzhong Microelectronics for the main control chip of the USB flash drive. with a sharing agreement. In addition, Luo Ming had been working hard at Yuanxin for so long... He was unwilling to enter the enterprise and still wanted to be in the technical field, so Li Mingliu pushed him out.

…

When sending Su Yuanshan to the airport, Li Mingliu told Su Yuanshan to reassure him that he would keep an eye on Luo Ming's team. If he really couldn't figure it out... then he would persuade Luo Ming to give up and let him return directly to the provincial capital Science and Technology Park headquarters to make some moves. Work in management and corporate communication.

After arriving at the airport, so there was still some time, Su Yuanshan got out of the car and chatted with Li Mingliu against the car door.

"I always thought you were the kind of person who looked down on mediocrity." Su Yuanshan paused when he said the word "mediocrity", and then immediately explained: "This... I'm just describing it, nothing else. .”

"Haha, I understand." Li Mingliu popped out the cigarette, lit it with a click, and took a puff of it happily. He smiled and said, "In your eyes, I'm afraid there are not many people who are not mediocre, right?"

Su Yuanshan shook his head: "You are wrong... In my opinion, there is no mediocrity in Yuanxin - we started as undergraduate graduates from key universities, studied hard for twelve years, and crossed the single-plank bridge with thousands of troops. , who doesn’t have any ability?”

"Okay, okay..." Li Mingliu interrupted Su Yuanshan with a smile. He knew that although Su Yuanshan was awesome, he never thought of himself as a genius, and he took special care of other people's self-esteem.

"It's like this, no matter what Lao Luo is... he is also a brother who has endured hardships and survived the night with us... Just because his brain was a bit dead when he was studying, it doesn't mean that he is really stupid."

"I have worked hard over the years and have done all the work honestly and well. I should give people a chance."

Su Yuanshan was silent for a few seconds and then smiled slightly.

"Well, as long as you are rich and noble, don't forget each other."
