Chapter 100 28nm(4k)

Microsoft Vice President Zhang Yaqin was included in the general office's discussion by Fang Zhuo. However, he not only discussed his views on Yike and technology, but also took this opportunity to think about whether the company's structure needed to be fine-tuned.

Today, Yike has four business groups, operation business group OBG, R&D business group RDG, Yike mobile service YMS, Yike cloud computing business group YWS, plus functional departments, with clear focus and stable structure.

The "General Office Seminar Office" is located under the President's Office, gathering high-level discussions and analysis to undertake part of the decision-making function.

When communicating with Zhang Yaqin this time, Fang Zhuo thought about his idea of ​​"the trinity of big data, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence", and gathered the opinions of the general office and R&D to consider whether to add a new business group for integration, with the goal of

Improve the process from laboratory to market and incubate emerging industries.

Emerging industries represent the future and the frontier, so those responsible for this area need to be highly sensitive to technological development, and adding a new business group also pays enough attention to Zhang Yaqin.

The Lunar New Year in 2013 is relatively early, February 9th is New Year’s Eve.

Fang Zhuo held consecutive meetings to discuss several structural ideas, and had basically finalized Zhang Yaqin's appointment, planning to implement it after the Spring Festival.

On January 19, he discussed this matter face to face with Yu Hong, who returned to Shanghai.

"Are you going to let Zhang Yaqin replace Teacher Xu?" Yu Hong is focused on the subsequent position. The business group is fine. If she becomes the CTO of Yike, it will be a career advancement for Zhang Yaqin.

Within Yike, YMS is limited to domestic ecology, while YWS’s vision is in Central Europe. Even if it enters the US market in the future, it will be difficult to capture too much share from Amazon and Microsoft. RDG’s R&D is based on Silicon Valley and Shanghai.

The key point is that OBG's operations focus on competition in the global market.

The business groups are on the same level in terms of structure, but their importance and tendencies are still different. For example, only the deputy directors of RDG and OBG are elected to the board of directors.

"That depends on the results." Fang Zhuo made a cup of tea for Mr. Yu, "I am happiest if the new business group can be completed. If Dr. Zhang can prove himself, that is a good thing."

Yu Hong was somewhat interested in the arrangement of subsequent positions: "What if Lu Qi comes over?"

"He is quite confused. Well, actually, I am also a bit confused." Fang Zhuo said with a smile, "Lu Qi needs power to implement the strategy, but in the next few years, I am more worried about changes. I will take the lead in the overall development trend.

I don’t think much change is needed.”

Lu Qi has reached the level of executive vice president reporting only to the head of Microsoft. Now he has no record of defeat. Both his reputation, qualifications and personal confidence are at the peak.

Yu Hong tried to figure out Mr. Fang's state of mind, and then she heard words that made her roll her eyes.

"Lu Qi is undoubtedly very capable. Anyway, he is confused, so let's flirt with him first. He is a Microsoft vice president, and I don't need to be responsible for him." Fang Zhuo said matter-of-factly, "Now is the notice.

It’s time to announce the results of Zhang Yaqin’s interview.”

Yu Hong took a sip of tea, nodded and said, "You can call him Mr. Zhang from now on."

Mr. Zhang will be in charge of EBG (Emerging Iindustry Business Group), the newly established emerging industry business group of Yike. In addition, he will also serve as the senior vice president of Yike Cloud, responsible for the external development of Yike Cloud. He will inherit his position at Microsoft.

The work experience in this field also prevents the work after entering Yike from becoming empty talk.

Fang Zhuo chatted with Yu Hong about the summary before the meeting, and then called Zhang Yaqin in front of her.

Nine days have passed since Zhang Yaqin came to Yike for an interview. During this period, he has been communicating with Qi He and is also thinking and revising his views on Yike. Although he is relatively confident that he will not encounter rejection when he changes jobs, he has not been able to do so for more than a week.

It’s hard to avoid overthinking a movement that’s too specific.

Yike has a lot of talents, especially in the fields it specializes in. The people in Silicon Valley are much stronger in terms of technology, and the internal system of Yike is also very complete. The clear and logical sharing from Qi He in the past few days makes people feel that this person has lived up to his expectations.

The feeling of being named Yike.

"Dr. Zhang, after much thought, Yike's current efforts in cloud computing are particularly looking forward to a capable leader. If you don't mind, I very much hope that you can come to Yike to develop our business in the capacity of SVP.

European market." Fang Zhuo got straight to the point and announced the news after talking on the phone.

Zhang Yaqin breathed a sigh of relief, but was also a little disappointed. The SVP was indeed one level higher than the CVP at Microsoft, but this was not in the same company, and there seemed to be no response to his explanation of the strategy.

, now I just switch to the execution field where I am willing to display my ambitions.

Of course, compared to being on the bench at Microsoft, it is indeed better.

Zhang Yaqin hesitated for a moment and then heard the next words.

"In addition, Yike will set up an emerging industry business group. I am more interested in the trinity you mentioned. If you are willing to put it into practice, I want to see what kind of development there will be." Fang Zhuo did not avoid certainties.

degree of exploratory nature.

Zhang Yaqin did not hesitate anymore and said with a smile: "Mr. Fang, Yi Ke will treat you with sincerity. I have great confidence in our future."

"Dr. Zhang is confident, and so am I." Fang Zhuo mused, "The new business group will be implemented after the year. There should be no problems with Microsoft's process. If there are, Ballmer and I have a good relationship.

"

This matter was confirmed by Qi He, and since Lu Qi can be the middleman, there will be no restrictions in this regard. After all, there is not much competition between Microsoft and Yike.

When the call, which represented a new start in his career, ended, even though Zhang Yaqin had been through it for a long time, he couldn't help but put his cell phone on his lap. A new company and new opportunities meant that this was his best choice to return to China.

After briefly calming down, he only told Lu Qi the news, and then called Qi He. From now on, he would implement his strategic vision and have to deal with this man more often.

Compared with Yike Cloud's market development in Europe, the local base camp not only has a broad enough market, but also has far better resources and smoother work than other regions.

Yu Hong silently listened to the conversation between her boss and her new colleagues in the president's office. After he turned off his phone, he said, "Congratulations to Mr. Fang for adding another general. Yike's fundamental diversification will be further promoted."

"When you're done being polite, go out quickly. I'll give you half a day off. Weiwei is waiting for you." Fang Zhuo was not polite.

Yu Hong glared at the man, turned around and left the office.

Fang Zhuo rubbed his face, thinking about the allocation and resource coordination of the new business group, and the changes in the company's development this year, and slowly drank the cool tea in one sip.

The whole year begins with spring, and there are only a few days until the beginning of spring.

Yike is planning to adjust its organizational structure, and there seems to be a trend of structural adjustment. After Duji announced the structural changes after public opinion, Penguin also announced a new round of executive rotation and added two new positions before the Spring Festival.

Big "Cloud Industry Business Group" and "Platform Content Business Group".

Penguin has a clear process for establishing a cloud computing business group. Domestic Yike and Alibaba are both developing well, but it is lagging behind in this aspect, and the "platform content" aspect... seems to be in line with last month's public opinion.

Already.

In addition, the head of Penguin also issued an internal open letter, wishing all employees a happy New Year, saying that in the new year, internal resource coordination will be strengthened, the efficiency of technology application will be improved, and the industry and consumers will be helped to form an open connection ecosystem.

Yike talked about ecology, Du Ji mobilized troops and generals to form a confrontation, and Penguin also started to talk about ecology, as if there was a heat wave related to ecology that wanted to stir up.

Specific to the implementation of ecology...

Without waiting for the Spring Festival, Amap first announced that it had obtained financing from Yike again, and then Yike Cloud announced a 10%-20% price reduction for its products in the domestic market. When the media called to inquire, the reason given was

"Unleashing the Dividends of Technology".

Yike Cloud is now the well-deserved No. 1 cloud in China. When it cuts its price, Alibaba Cloud has to keep up.

To this end, Alibaba also communicated unofficially: You and Duji Cloud have had frictions. If there is nothing to do with the cloud business, Duji Cloud has only scratched the surface.

Yike maintains the same tone as its public response, but only releases technological dividends.

Release technological dividends, expand the lightweight application server market, and increase the market share of Yike Cloud, that's all.

In any case, if the leading Yike Cloud discounts, Alibaba Cloud can only follow suit and release technological dividends.

On the last day of January, Yike's work schedule and preparations were all arranged. Even Fang Zhuo was thinking about celebrating the New Year with peace of mind. There was not much movement from friends on the market. It was time to think about the ecology, and it was time to lick the stock price.

Licking the stock price, the dividend should be released, and everyone is ready to celebrate the New Year well after a little movement.

However, on the first day of February, news suddenly came to light that Chinese semiconductor company Bingxin had completed small-scale mass production of 28nm and was ramping up its yield for formal mass production.

This news was published in Baodao's "Digital Times". It was anonymous and quoted former executives of downstream packaging manufacturers, making a conclusive claim about the current advanced manufacturing process of ice cores.

Soon, the "Electronic Times" report was reprinted by the media in Baodao and Xiangjiang, and then crossed the ocean and appeared in front of the American media.

It has been rumored that the ice core is in trouble with process research and development. It is said that there is a problem with the ice core's technical route. How come it suddenly reaches the point of small-scale mass production?

This leap brings it to the same level as Samsung and UMC, and UMC just announced mass production news just over a month ago.

Baodao's Taiwanese reporters were very surprised. Even Zhang Zhongqing expressed doubts when being interviewed by the media. Then he half-jokingly mentioned that the previous news might be misleading.

Misleading but not misleading...

Anyway, after noticing the major news related to the advanced ice core manufacturing process, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange issued a new inquiry letter requesting clarification on the authenticity of the news.

Bingxin has been in the "inquiry" stage since it submitted its prospectus and needs to accept multiple rounds of questions from the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

Generally speaking, if a company passes the inquiry, the passing rate of the next hearing process will be very high, followed by the IPO, issuance, and listing.

After several rounds of inquiries, Ice Core was nearing the end of this stage. Unexpectedly, the research and development news suddenly leaked, and we had to consider how to announce the news of the advanced manufacturing process.

Fang Zhuo was rather annoyed by this sudden incident.

He doesn't care that the market value of ice core has been depressed, but is a little happy to see the results. And the development progress of 28nm is always as low-key as possible after the procurement restrictions were obtained last year.

Now that this has been exposed, foreign media have classified Ice Core as a front-line wafer foundry company.

"What happened to the former executive mentioned in the Electronic Times?" Fang Zhuo called Changdian with a slightly angry call. The direction of the media report was very clear. It was a downstream package and it was a former executive who resigned.

Still the latest news, the staff is so locked in.

"Mr. Fang, I'm sorry, one of our vice presidents changed jobs and went to Singapore... I called him, and he said he was cheated on after drinking, and he regrets it now." The people from Changdian were helpless. This happened.

Mistakes...

"He...you..." Fang Zhuo choked, thinking over and over again, and it was hard to criticize, "Forget it, things that should be kept secret must be kept secret, let this be a lesson."

At this point, the public opinion in the mainland is very calm, but there is quite an uproar outside. Especially those in Baodao are extremely shocked. According to the mass production process, Taiwan Journal is only half a generation ahead. How can this ice core catch up so fast!

Still chasing like this quietly!

Is the entire industry chain created by Yike such an amazing effect?

Fang Zhuo accepted the apology from his partner, and when he was pondering the situation, he received a call from the leadership of Luzhou. This call contained enthusiastic congratulations, but of course, there was also a little bit of sourness.

"Mr. Fang, we are always the last to know the news. Unfortunately, we cannot order the Electronic Times here."

Fang Zhuo only laughed in response: "If you have a good meal, you are not afraid of being late, and the ice core also seeks stability. I only announce the news when I think it will be foolproof. Only then will I have the confidence to report to the leaders."

That night, Bingxin prepared a reply to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange's inquiry, and there were some new developments on Baodao.

Zhang Zhongtong, the head of Taiwan Journal, was interviewed again about Bingxin’s pursuit. He revealed the progress of his advanced manufacturing process: “We will mass produce 20nm in the first quarter of 2014, and 16nm will also be mass produced at 20nm.

Follow up one year later.”

The reporter asked: "Mr. Zhang, why is 16nm mass-produced so quickly? Is this good news specially released by Taiwan reporters under the pressure of ice core to catch up?"

There is some doubt in this statement.

"Essentially, we regard 20nm and 16nm as the same generation of technology, so the progress in this area will be very fast." Zhang Zhongmo said with a smile, "Ice core is good, but we have absolute technological leadership and the confidence to stay ahead."

Fang Zhuo happened to receive a call from Liang Mengsong after seeing the latest reports, and asked him for his opinion.

"Zhang Zhongyan's words are a kind of evidence that we are on the right track. There is indeed no essential difference between the two generations of processes. The technological leadership he said is overall. Our research on FinFET is at least not weaker than his." Liang Mengsong.

Very calmly, "The timetable he listed will be very close to ours."

The research and development of ice core has been working in three shifts for more than half a year, but the efforts have paid off.

Liang Mengsong assessed the situation, and finally said half-guessing: "According to the current progress, 16nm may be just a hair's breadth away. As for who is on the line, we will see when the time comes."
