Jinwei City, Starlight Chip Factory, Meng Guangxian's motorcade drove in.
Gao Jin and the general management were waiting not far from the parking lot. When they saw Meng Guangxian getting out of the car, they greeted him. The two shook hands, exchanged some pleasantries, and walked toward the factory together.
Instead of entering the factory directly, they went to a nearby workshop and changed into dust-free clothes, and then the group entered the factory.
After the Xingling Group took over the factory, it first gave the workers a holiday and did not gather the workers until January. Some people did not come to report, and these people were fired.
Some of the older ones were given buyout benefits, and more than 300 people were recruited from the electronics department of the local university to join the factory.
None of the original factory management was retained, and managers in various positions were re-appointed through a series of assessments.
The current person in charge of the factory is named Yu Yang, who once worked at the H Country Shanxing Chip Factory, serving as workshop director and deputy director of the production department.
Shanxing Company is also a relatively ruthless company and will fire a large number of employees of similar age every few years, including the management.
Yu Yang is from the Celestial Dynasty and must be on the expulsion list.
After returning to China, he was recommended to Xingling Group by Korn Ferry International. Gao Jin came to join the company after an interview in person. Of course, he also conducted some research on Yang.
After Yu Yang joined the company, he started working. He implemented the Japanese management method, which was streamlined. The total number of civilian employees in such a large factory was only more than forty.
The head of each department must be able to use office software to make summaries, and you must write the summary reports for each department each month yourself.
If you ask someone to write for you, and if you find out, you will be fired directly without any mercy.
With fewer people, work efficiency has been greatly improved. As long as ordinary matters have been delayed for eight hours and urgent matters have been delayed for one hour, if they are not resolved, Yu Yang will directly intervene.
The punishment should be punished and the expulsion should be carried out without mercy.
It is this tough approach that manages this large factory with thousands of people very well. As soon as anything happens, the departments involved will solve it immediately without any delay.
Meng Guangxian's visit today was also Wei Mingyang's request. After suffering a loss, you must be careful. Even if you trust the Xingling Group, you must come and take a look in person.
Many of the people who accompanied Meng Guangxian were professionals from relevant departments, and they could tell at a glance whether you could really produce 60-nanometer chips.
The third trial production was supposed to be carried out yesterday. Gao Jin knew what Meng Guangxian was thinking, so he called Yu Yang and postponed the third trial production to today.
The third trial production was launched in front of Meng Guangxian, so you can see clearly that Xingling Group does not play tricks.
A group of people entered the workshop, Yu Yang asked for instructions, Gao Jin looked at Meng Guangxian, Meng Guangxian nodded, Gao Jin gave the order, and trial production began.
Suddenly, there was an extremely loud noise, and all the employees were staring at the computer screens in front of them at their work stations, holding pens to record something.
After walking around in a circle, Meng Guangxian received secret messages from several people. He breathed a sigh of relief and went to the side to talk so as not to disturb the production in the workshop.
An hour later, trial production stopped, and the testing department began testing the chips.
Gao Jin specially led Meng Guangxian to the testing workshop to have a look. Many people were indeed testing chips one by one, and the testing procedures were unambiguous.
After walking around in a circle, he went to the side to change clothes and left the workshop. He was talking outside the workshop. Gao Jin had some chairs brought over and everyone sat down to talk.
Knowing Meng Guangxian's thoughts, Gao Jin did not reveal it. Most people sat outside the workshop and waited for more than two hours until the test report was released.
The staff sent the report to Gao Jin. Gao Jin looked at it and handed it to Meng Guangxian, "Mayor Meng, the results of today's trial production are very gratifying. The yield rate has reached 90%. We can start formal production."
Meng Guangxian took it and started to read it. Not to mention, Meng Guangxian really understood it. Meng Guangxian had done a lot of homework in advance for today's inspection.
"You kid, the yield rate is named 92%. Why do you say the yield rate is 90%?"
Meng Guangxian said with a smile. He knew Gao Jin's idea very well. Keep a 2% yield rate so that if there is a problem, you can have more room for maneuver.
"Business rules, these are the rules of the chip production factory"
Gao Jin said awkwardly, Meng Guangxian nodded, and then Gao Jin turned and left. Gao Jin followed behind, and the group walked towards the large conference room.
Leaders' inspections are definitely indispensable without speeches, and Meng Guangxian did the same. He first congratulated the chip factory for putting it into operation, and then encouraged the chip factory to use innovation and climb to higher mountains.
After the meeting, Gao Jin invited Meng Guangxian to his office. There were only two people in the huge office. Gao Jin loosened the buttons of his shirt, and Meng Guangxian did the same. He needed to relax.
While Gao Jin was boiling water to make tea, Meng Guangxian asked, "Let me ask you, when can you start 40-nanometer chip production here?"
"Brother Meng, I have just started producing 60-nanometer chips here, and you want me to move into 40-nanometer chips. This is a bit unrealistic."
"The set of chips we developed is different from the current mainstream chip technology in the international community. It is a brand new path, a path that no one has ever traveled before."
"The difficulties faced here are not ordinary, but very, very huge."
“The difficulty of low-efficiency lasers is well-known around the world.”
Gao Jin said this with a serious face. Zhu Changbao's chip project team has seventeen teams, each with fifteen to twenty-five people.
This year, each team will have a minimum of forty people, and high-quality talents must be recruited to speed up research.
To this end, Ge Gongming also submitted a report and applied for more than 40 million euros to purchase a lot of experimental equipment to make up for the shortcomings.
Weak-efficiency laser research is not easy to break through. Even if we already have some 40-nanometer technology reserves, it is still not enough.
If one group can't make a breakthrough, all groups must follow suit to produce 40-nanometer chips. This is no small project.
"Give me a rough time"
"Let me tell you the truth, many state-owned enterprises are planning to upgrade to adopt 40-nanometer chips. Now in order for your factory to have orders to run, you can only maintain the current 60-nanometer process."
"You have a rough time target here, so each factory can prepare."
Meng Guangxian said this with a serious expression on his face. The reason why the chip factory of Blu-ray Group cannot continue to operate is the equipment. It is also related to the decrease in orders.
Sixty-nanometer chips will gradually withdraw from the market. Forty-nanometer chips have become mainstream. If you want to replace equipment, it will be a huge investment.
That's why I thought of selling this chip factory. Unexpectedly, many years of old events were uncovered.
Gao Jin frowned after hearing what Meng Guangxian said. He understood Meng Guangxian's impatience. He thought about it carefully and called Zhu Changbao to inquire about the progress.
In the end, we came up with an uncertain time, and it will be next year at the earliest. There is no possibility of a breakthrough this year.
Meng Guangxian listened to the side and breathed a sigh of relief. It would be fine for one year, but it would be troublesome after this time. He hoped that the Xingling Group could make a breakthrough soon.
When the order was handed over to the chip factory of Xingling Group, many companies also complained. In the end, the order was handed over because of the order.
The two communicated over tea. Gao Jin planned to stay with Meng Guangxian and his party for dinner, but Meng Guangxian refused.
He went downstairs and left with a large force.
Gao Jin did not leave, but went directly to the canteen to eat and check the quality of the food in the factory canteen.
After the meal, Gao Jin talked with Yu Yang for a while, then left by car and returned to the hotel.
I took a bath at the hotel and made a pot of tea. I sat on a chair and thought slowly. After a while, Gao Jin slowly shook his head.
Xingling Group has carried out many scientific research projects, but unfortunately, the research and development time is too short and lacks foundation.
This foundation refers to the accumulation of technology.
Even though Xingling Group has applied for a lot of patents in the past two years, its foundation is still insufficient.
Take Apple as an example. Why Apple can lead the smartphone market is because Apple has accumulated enough technology through continuous investment in scientific research over the years to explode.
Apple alone has hundreds of thousands of technologies at its disposal. This is Apple’s heritage.
This is what the Protoss Group is lacking now.
Gao Jin raised his hand and took a sip of tea, took out his phone and started dialing. Soon the call was connected and the voice of "Chairman" Ge Gongming came over.
"Gongming, please arrange to add five more people to each project team at the headquarters."
Gao Jin said this calmly, and Ge Gongming was surprised. With the addition of five people to a project team, the entire park would need to add a lot of people.
"Chairman, scientific research cannot be solved by just having more people. At present, each project team has just been adjusted and has passed the running-in period and is in the best condition."
"Rushly increasing manpower does not necessarily improve efficiency. I am opposed to increasing manpower."
Ge Gongming rejected Gao Jin's proposal. Xingling Group advocates debate. As long as you have a suitable reason, you can argue. This is a rule that Gao Jin has been vigorously promoting.
In order to implement this rule, many middle-level managers were fired, which shows Gao Jin's determination.
"Gongming, listen to me." Gao Jin stated his thoughts. Ge Gongming thought for a while and nodded in agreement.
"Chairman, for two years, there will be no further adjustments within two years after this adjustment. A rash adjustment of the R&D team will have the effect of dragging down the R&D progress," Ge Gongming expressed his opinion.
"I understand that I will not make adjustments within two years after the adjustment. It depends on the effect. If the progress is slow, I will make adjustments after two years."
"Remove old blood and introduce new blood"
Gao Jin said this sentence with a serious face. With this sentence, Ge Gongming approved it and said that he would immediately start recruiting to increase the strength of each project team.
Immediately afterwards, Gao Jin made another call to Miao Hongfa. Miao Hongfa's comprehensive research institute has more than 400 people. This time he communicated with Miao Hongfa to add some projects, and this year exceeded 1,000 people.
Similarly, adjustments will not be made within two years, and newly recruited personnel must be high-quality talents.
Courtyard, Wei Mingyang's office.
Wei Mingyang and Meng Guangxian listened to reports from professionals in relevant departments. The word they heard most often was that they could not understand the production process.
It goes against the current 60-nanometer production process on the market.
