Rebirth 1984: Starting with the development of Hanka

In the afternoon of the next day, Zhao Ye was reading company documents.

On the right side of the desk, the black Siemens office phone suddenly made a "ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding" sound.

Zhao Ye didn't even raise his head, and habitually stretched out his right hand to pick up the phone.

"Hello. Who is this?"

"I'm Secretary Li!"

A strong and magnetic voice of a middle-aged man came from the microphone.

When Zhao Ye heard that it was Secretary Li, his expression perked up and he immediately turned his attention to the phone.

"Oh, it turns out to be Secretary Li. Hello, now that you've called me, have you figured out the bodyguard thing?" Zhao Ye asked.

"Yes, there are a total of 7 suitable candidates. Tomorrow morning, I will have someone take them to your company." Secretary Li smiled.

"Well, great, thank you Secretary Li for your help. I will definitely treat you to dinner when I come back from abroad next time!"

"Haha, you're welcome! Just treat me to dinner. Your development of Wujiang Group is the greatest support for our municipal party committee and government!"

After ending the conversation, Zhao Ye put the microphone away, slightly looking forward to meeting tomorrow.

Outside the window, the sun is like fire and the heat wave is like tide.

Zhao Ye doesn't like to turn on the air conditioner. He always feels that the wind blown by the air conditioner makes him a little uncomfortable.

He likes to blow the natural breeze. The gentle breeze carries the faint fragrance of osmanthus outside the window, which is extremely refreshing and invigorating!

After taking a sip of wolfberry tea, Zhao Ye bent over his desk and continued reading the document.

The content in the document is mainly information about China's semiconductors.

Zhao Ye had to be grateful that he was reborn relatively early. At this time, China's development speed in the semiconductor field was only six or seven years behind the United States. In some aspects, it was even at the world's leading level.

This is an era for China’s semiconductor industry to strive to catch up with the best.

If by the mid-90s, the technology generation gap in the semiconductor field is too large, the difficulty will undoubtedly increase many times!

It is mentioned in the A4 paper document in the office that the BG-101 stepper lithography machine has been improved again, with a resolution of up to 1 micron. This data is also relatively advanced at the moment.

In 1978, the stepper lithography machine DSW4800 launched by the American GCA Company had a resolution of only 1 micron. This type of lithography machine was the most advanced lithography machine in the world at the time, with a unit price of up to US$45. However, major companies were still flocking to it and had no worries at all. GCA has entered its heyday, and under its leadership, the U.S. lithography machine industry is booming.

However, since the 80s, major semiconductor manufacturers have increasingly chosen RB companies to supply optical lenses for photolithography machines, such as Nikon, Canon, etc. In this process, RB Company gained a clear understanding of the uncomplicated lithography machine technology and began its own attempts.

With the continuous advancement of lithography technology, chip manufacturing processes are becoming smaller and smaller, and lithography machine technology is becoming more and more dependent on optical systems. In this process, RB companies, which specialize in optical components, gradually emerged and quickly took away market share from Americans. GCA eventually declined and was acquired.

Zhao Ye has a clear idea of ​​the future trend.

How China Semiconductor wants to break through the situation must rely on him.

In the past life, the reason why China's lithography machines and related technologies have been slow to progress is that many related products have been limited to scientific research projects. The lack of production line mass production verification is also one of the main reasons.

This is one of the reasons why Zhao Ye invested in building a wafer factory and designed the Kirin 1 chip himself.

Only if Kirin 1 sells well and wafer fabs develop, can China's entire semiconductor industry chain develop.

As long as you master a few core technologies, you don’t have to be afraid even if foreign countries impose technological blockades. Because the difficulty of other chip production equipment is much lower than that of photolithography machines, if you dare to block us, you are forcing us to develop it ourselves, and then start a price war with you to eat into the other party's market share.

Zhao Ye continued to look through the documents, with a smile on his face unconsciously.

The document also mentioned that the wafer factory has expanded production again, and the yield rate of Kirin 1 has reached 90%.

Soon, the Kirin 1 chip produced by China Wujiang Microelectronics Company will not only meet Wujiang Group's own needs, but also be sold externally.

"If Wujiang Group's Hanka, typewriters, and BB machines all replace their processor chips with Kirin 1, not only will the performance of the products be improved, but the production costs will be reduced a lot!" Zhao Ye said happily, touching his chin.

After thinking for a while, he added, "If we can design a memory chip, we can further reduce the cost. The company is still using EPROM chips, and for this, Wujiang has to spend a sum of foreign exchange. Forget it, we will talk about this later, remember first. Come down..."

Zhao Ye shook his head and sighed. He didn't have time to develop memory chips now. Members of Loongson Design Company are working on Kirin 2, a 16-bit processor.

Zhao Ye originally wanted to get there in one step and go straight to 32-bit, but people in the company suggested that they had a poor foundation and wanted to take it step by step to lay a solid foundation and develop 16-bit first and then develop 32-bit. There is a saying that "If you don't accumulate small steps, you can't reach a thousand miles." Zhao Ye naturally agreed happily.

At this time, Zhao Ye closed the document with his right hand and sighed.

In this era, there are too few engineers studying software and hardware. There are many things they want to do, but they are stretched thin.

China's own talents alone are currently not enough. "A stone from another mountain can be used to attack jade." In previous lives, Huawei recruited many foreign scientists or engineers.

Zhao Ye instantly felt that his situation suddenly opened up, and his eyes suddenly became clear.

For some reason, he suddenly thought of Wang An Company again.

When Wang An's company was on the verge of bankruptcy, countless outstanding engineers within the company changed jobs and were absorbed by companies such as IBM, HP, Compaq, and Cisco.

As far as Zhao Ye knows, Wang An's company is a family-owned company. Dr. Wang An's health will not be good this year. He was diagnosed with gastric cancer, so naturally he can no longer serve as the president of the company. Therefore, Wang An's company urgently needs to choose a successor. However, when it comes to the choice of successor, Wang An insists on his own way. He believes that he founded the company, so the president of the company should also be succeeded by his son Wang Lie.

Good guy, this wave of operations directly pissed off many veterans of Wang An's company, including the "Three Musketeers" Kaoblau, Sigar, and Kolko of Wang An's laboratory. These three people are all technology tycoons who have made great contributions to Wang An Company and brought in profits of billions of dollars. However, in 1985, the "Three Musketeers" of Wang An Laboratory will all leave Wang An Company.

Zhao Ye couldn't help but think of taking these three people under his command at this moment.

In addition, there is another famous person - John Chambers, who is also a talent that Zhao Ye is very eager for.

John Chambers was an employee of Wang An Company at this time. In his previous life, he later joined Cisco and became the CEO of Cisco. Within a few years, he turned Cisco around its profits and losses, and then developed it into the company with the highest market value in the world. It was once known as "The most powerful CEO on earth"!

Imagine that the CEO of Wang An Company asks him to do it. Can he recreate the glory of Wang An Company?

At this time, Zhao Ye quickly opened his notebook and wrote down the plan to recruit talents from Wang An Company. No matter whether John Chambers could recreate the glory of Wang An Company, it was impossible.

Wang An will only hand over the company to people from the Wang An family, and no one else will have a chance.
