Although the award ceremony is over, the impact has just begun.
The first breakthrough in 65nm chip technology and the first independently developed 90nm etching machine in China. Either of these is enough to cause a major earthquake in the industry, not to mention both happening in the same company.
The complex landline phone rang non-stop from morning to night.
The same goes for Lu Fei's two mobile phones. Both within the industry and outside the industry, such as Ren Zhengfei and Dong Mingzhu, are all congratulations and congratulations.
Even Wang Chuanfu's fighting spirit was ignited and he made up his mind that BYD would engage in semiconductors and build car-grade chips no matter what!
In addition to the business community, more calls came from relevant leaders, familiar and unfamiliar, people I had seen before, people who were retired but not retired, and some whose names I had never even heard of, one after another.
Everyone praised me and encouraged me.
Lu Fei repeatedly reported on the breakthrough of 65nm process and 90nm etching machine. He could recite the repeated words, but he still took the trouble to vaguely mention the idea of National Integrated Circuit Industry Fund over and over again.
Only children who can cry will get milk!
What's more, a good boy like Mr. Lu from other people's families!
Since the turn of the millennium, only SMIC and Fuxin have been able to compete with the first and second-tier semiconductor companies in the world. Even Huahong, which was established in 1997, is not qualified.
, there are faint signs of falling behind the third gear.
Unlike SMIC and Huahong, key composite cores enjoy support from all aspects, and their R&D funding does not rely on grants or financing.
Now, Fuxin is ahead of SMIC.
If all goes well, it may only take two or three quarters to become the first domestic foundry to master 65nm mass production.
This is still the result of not relying on resource tilt.
What if we get the same support as SMIC?
The picture is so beautiful that I can’t even imagine it!
One by one, the leaders took the initiative to approach Lu Fei and asked him to make requests with confidence and boldness. His mouth was dry and his throat was as hoarse as fire. Fortunately, the frequency of phone calls gradually decreased.
"Gulu, Gulu~"
He tilted his neck back, drank a full cup of tea in one gulp, exhaled happily, and then quickly left the office.
As soon as I got up, my cell phone rang again.
After glancing at the number, his frown immediately rose. The caller turned out to be Leader Sha, who had been transferred to the Shanghai Stock Exchange.
First he congratulated him, then he affirmed Fuxin’s achievements, and finally he tried to convince Fuxin to move it to the Shanghai stock market.
Together with SMIC’s dual-head drive, we will create a chip industry chain network that radiates across Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. Anyway, there are enough high-tech companies in Pengcheng, including technology, industry and trade giants like Huawei and Logic, as well as Internet giants like Penguin and NetEase.
In comparison——
The Shanghai Stock Exchange needs to strengthen its position in the area of high-tech and sophisticated products!
To this end, he offered a bunch of preferential terms, asking for money and giving land, literally at any cost.
Although I was very tempted, Mr. Lu refused!
However, rejection is still rejection, but it is not completely rejected.
Fuxin is setting up China Micro Semiconductor Equipment Company, and Yin Zhiyao is personally in charge of it. It originally planned to locate it in Yanjing, but now it has sold it to Sha Ruijin to save face and moved it to Shanghai.
"Okay, very good, Mr. Lu's words are enough!"
Leader Sha feels much better.
Instead of Fuxin, a manufacturing giant, it would be a good idea to have an etching giant. After all, it is also the first company in the country to independently develop an etching machine. It has reached the peak since its debut, and it seems to be the number one in semiconductor etching equipment in Taiwan, Mainland China, and Taiwan.
"Speaking of relocation, one of my families wants to move to Shanghai."
Lu Fei rolled his eyes and offered another big gift.
The headquarters of Caifubao will be moved from Yanjing to the largest financial center in the country, and it will join forces with Penguin to dominate online payment.
"Haha, you're welcome. If you have any difficulties or need anything, you can call me at any time."
Leader Sha laughed with satisfaction, then changed the topic and mentioned subprime mortgages, "I asked Comrade Xiao Gong to learn more about it, but it was not specific enough. She said that many of her insights and information actually came from you. Is Mr. Lu free now?
If it’s convenient, let’s have a chat.”
My pleasure!
Lu Fei cleared his throat and answered whatever he asked, choosing his words carefully.
The conversation lasted for more than twenty minutes. If Leader Sha had not had an impromptu meeting in the evening, he would have continued to talk.
"It's a pity, it's a pity. Let's find a time to chat some other time."
Leader Sha couldn't stop and wanted to ask for another 10 yuan.
"No problem at all. In addition, I and others are co-writing a book on subprime mortgages. The draft is finalized and I will give you a copy as soon as possible."
Lu Fei hung up the phone and licked his dry lips.
I have to sigh with emotion, so many important calls have directly taken mediocre research and development results to unimaginable heights.
China can only revive if it strengthens its "core"!
Adhering to the will of the leaders, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Association for Science and Technology and other departments paid 200% attention, and immediately organized a joint inspection team, led by Lin Jiaqing himself. A week later, they arrived at Fuxin's base camp.
"The 90nm etching machine is only a small step, but it is a big step for the national chip industry!"
When Lin Jiaqing came here for the first time, he still cut the ribbon. Now that he is visiting his old place again, he feels that Beier has gained face.
"It is entirely due to Professor Yin and all the employees of Fuxin. It is their hard work and belief that Fuxin is what it is today. Of course, it is also inseparable from the support of the leaders. Without local policies, Fuxin
It is absolutely impossible for Xin to be like today!"
Lu Fei was serious and powerful.
"Go ahead and do it. I hope you can keep up the good work. We will always be Fuxin's strongest backing!"
Lin Jiaqing said kindly, "Apart from these requirements, are there any difficulties in terms of funding, equipment, and policies?"
"Compared with these, the most difficult thing is talent."
Lu Fei glanced at the inseparable Yangma reporter, faced the camera and said sadly: "The most fundamental reason why Samsung and TSMC are ahead is their talent. We obviously have the most college students in the world, but we don't have many semiconductor talents available.
It really doesn’t make sense.”
The faces of Minister Wei and others suddenly froze, and they all looked at Lin Jiaqing nervously.
Lu Fei said in a serious tone: "I remember Mr. Qian asked why no university can operate according to the model of cultivating talents for scientific and technological inventions and creations? I think we should try to answer it. There is no end to learning, and universities should not be about learning.
The end point, a company can also be a university..."
Lin Jiaqing frowned and said: "If I remember correctly, the logic is that there is already a university. Is it possible that you want to build a larger and more comprehensive private university?"
"No, no, I didn't mean that."
Lu Fei raised his eyebrows. He didn't want to risk his life to build a "West Lake University". He just wanted to incorporate universities like Mizuki University of Science and Technology into a logical industry-university-research system. To put it bluntly, he wanted to get ahead of other companies and pick out the young ones first.
.
TSMC has tens of thousands of engineers in one wafer foundry.
Not to mention Samsung, Sungkyunkwan University’s largest financial backer is Samsung, and the polytechnic school it invests in is a talent reservoir.
"Yes, talent is the most important thing. What are you going to do?"
Lin Jiaqing sighed and couldn't help but sigh.
If there can be a hundred logics, why should a company like Huawei worry that China is not strong?
"I have always believed that as long as the money is in place, it is not just talent but talent."
Lu Fei said confidently: "Fuxin will need tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of talents in the future, and China's entire semiconductor industry will need millions of talents. In front of all the leaders, I put this here. As long as there are talents, I will even
I am willing to give him an annual salary of one million!"
"Hey, an annual salary of one million!
"
Minister Wei and others were shocked by his courage. Everyone felt more or less incredible and even stunned.
For a moment, there was total silence.
"Card!"
This scene was clearly captured in the camera.
The next day, the news was broadcast on Yangma's financial channel on time, and the "People's Daily" was not left behind. Although it did not focus on Lu Fei personally, it wrote an editorial with the title:
"Lu Fei's question: Where have all the semiconductor talents gone?"
"China Youth Daily" found the right entry point and used an eye-catching and domineering headline.
"Lu Fei issued a nationwide recruitment order, looking for talented people with an annual salary of one million yuan."
Suddenly, it caused a sensation across the country.
Really, an annual salary of one million is too shocking!
With more and more attention, the composite core has broken through the 65nm process and the country's first 90nm etching machine. These news only caused shock in the small circle, but they were soon republished by the good guys, and they were like wildfire.
Spread to the whole country.
Public opinion was in an uproar and completely boiling!
The media follows the hot topics closely and goes completely crazy!
Compared with the media's reserve, the Internet media highlights an exciting aspect, and the title is naturally as gimmicky as possible and as exaggerated as possible.
"Shocked! The richest man in the Mainland spends millions just to find the right person."
"The Western monopoly on etching machines was actually broken by an unknown semiconductor company. It is..."
"Lu Fei's college entrance examination past: I just want to see if there are any employees in this class who will work for me in the future."
"China's future needs a hundred Lu Fei!"
》
The media's enthusiasm inevitably put Lu Fei on the hot search again.
Post bars, forums, blogs, portals, Q groups, discussions among netizens exploded.
[When I was twenty-five years old, I was still studying for graduate school and Ph.D., and people were already offering million-dollar annual salaries to recruit people. I burst into tears...]
[The total assets of Lu Fei and I would scare everyone to death if I tell you.]
[I thought it was a grassroots inspirational story, but I found out, why are the differences between people so big? 】
[Can you please stop bragging and brag again when it can lead us to surpass the United States!]
[Isn’t it just that we have broken through the 65nm process and developed a 90nm etching machine? I really don’t know what is so exciting. EDA\IP is not as good as the United States, the lithography machine is not as good as Europe, the materials are not as good as Neon, and the technology is not as good as Bangziwanwan, we
Still a long way to go!】
[Recognize the gap clearly, don’t sit in a well and look at the sky, even if there are a hundred Lu Fei, that’s what I say!]
[I choose Lu Fei as my idol, he will take us to the moon!
】
【……】
At this moment, the keyboard heroes are quarreling and fighting each other, and the situation is very tense.
And Lu Fei got his wish of "a million-dollar annual salary". In February and March, when the spring recruitment was at its peak, the three companies of Logic, Fuxin, and The Paper, whether on-site or online, fermented in just two days.
A total of more than 30,000 resumes were received.
All from Shuimu, Beijing University, Radio and TV University, Aurora, Jiaotong University, Harbin Institute of Technology...
Even Penguin, Feigou, Sogou, New Wolf and other companies controlled by Lu Fei have become magnetic fields that attract talents.
Just as the whole nation was praising Mr. Lu, other provinces and cities were also paying attention to him.
Even if it can attract a project, look at Suqian. Just because of Liu Eodong, with the blessing of Feigou.com, the country's third largest "e-commerce mall" after Yanjing and Hangzhou has risen from the ground, just like Jiangnan.
The province’s “e-commerce” business card.
Liu Edong is already like this. If he gets Master Lu's favor, he won't be able to take off!
The leaders of Pengcheng couldn't help but worry that Lu Fei's soul would be seduced away, so they called anxiously.
Mr. Lu is our true love. No one can take away my love. You must not leave!
"You can rest assured that when 65nm reaches mass production, Fuxin will increase its investment and expand an 8-inch production line."
Lu Fei swore his assurance and dispelled the worries of Pengcheng's leader. He then heard him exhale on the phone and said repeatedly:
"We will solve whatever we can solve."
"There really is one."
"Mr. Lu, say it, say it boldly."
"But it's not a question of complex cores, it's about the cooperation between Logic and BOE's LCD panel production line."
Lu Fei smacked his lips, feeling uncomfortable. He had already persuaded Pengcheng to fund, and Logic joined forces with Changhong, Konka, and Skyworth to support BOE in building the country's first independent 6th generation LCD production line, but as expected, something unexpected happened.
.
Here comes the spoiler, not Samsung, but Sharp.
The leader in charge of industry was confused: "Well, Mr. Lu, you also know that it is difficult for us to refuse the conditions offered by Sharp. It has promised to build a 7.5-generation production line in Pengcheng. This is the first in the country and is 6.5 times better than what you have built."
The generation line is a full generation and a half higher, and given BOE’s current loss situation, can it financially support it until it is completed and put into production?”
"It's no problem at all. BOE has already turned a profit with Lphone's panel orders and paid off most of its debts."
The corner of Lu Fei's mouth turned up, "Once the price of LCD panels rebounds, it will be easy to get out of the financial dilemma."
"But……"
The leadership dispute is intense: "But Sharp will invest 28 billion in this 7.5-generation production line."
"I have to remind you, there may be a trap here."
Lu Fei said bluntly that Neon had never thought of building a high-generation line in China, and it was just a piece of cake.
"No way?" the leader said dubiously.
"Bangzi has suffered such a loss. Believe it or not, once the 'Julong Plan' is cancelled, Sharp will immediately find an excuse to withdraw."
Lu Fei's words are unequivocal. Only with the birth of BOE's sixth-generation generation line can the local market have a stable source of supply.
It is enough to break the restrictions imposed by Japan and South Korea on the mainland. This value alone——
Far more important than a 7.5-generation LCD panel production line!
"Well, we will definitely take Mr. Lu's opinion seriously and hold a meeting to discuss it."
The leader pondered for a long time, "Actually, I personally prefer BOE."
"My father has my mother, it's better to have it myself."
Lu Fei felt vaguely that he might be disturbed by Sharp, so he could only adopt an alternative plan.
BOE’s 6th generation production line, as well as Logic’s first generation OLED panels, can be put into production in southern Henan, Anhui, Jiabei, Jiangnan...
Standing on the balcony of No. 1 Xiangmi Lake mansion, looking up, there is a view of the lake and mountains under the moon.
…………
Mainland Semiconductor was certainly excited about the breakthrough in composite cores, and even Qualcomm, Freescale, etc. on the other side of the ocean sent congratulatory messages.
TSMC received the news earlier. Shocked, Tsai Lixing urgently held a high-level meeting, which lasted for three days.
Samsung, which is still exploring the mass production of the 65nm process, is also extremely shocked.
After Li Jianxi finished the meeting, he left Li Zaiyong and Li Fuzhen alone again for a small meeting.
"Dad, it is said that Zhang Zhongmou, who has semi-retired from TSMC, was alarmed."
Lee Jae-yong adjusted his glasses, his eyes complex.
“Why on earth can Fuxin develop so fast?”
Li Jianxi looked left and right, and his eyes fell on his eldest daughter.
Li Fuzhen, as the director of wafer foundry, knows that the performance of 65nm is almost 35% higher than the previous process, and he has mixed feelings.
"Dad, Lu Fei is just like you in the semiconductor field. He attaches great importance to talents and does not hesitate to pay for talents. Whether it is logic or complex core, he would rather not go public than hold all the shares, just like the Chinese Qin and Han Empire's military nobility system.
The modern version of "The more you work, the more you get, the better you do, the more you earn, and once you change jobs, all the shares you hold will be repurchased."
"No wonder, no wonder!"
Li Jianxi opened his eyes suddenly, "No wonder we are still unmoved by all our efforts to poach their people. If we only have wages and bonuses, we can easily poach experts with high salaries and turn all former employees into his competitors."
But it’s much harder…”
"Dad, although Fuxin is growing very fast, we are not slow either."
Lee Jae-yong curled his lips, "Jiang Shangyi has agreed to our employment and is willing to take action. On behalf of Samsung, he will contact IBM, Chartered Semiconductor and Infineon to form a technical alliance to jointly develop and manufacture chip products based on 45nm to 28nm."
"Wait a minute, brother, didn't you say that you have reached cooperation with Fuxin from 65nm to 32nm?"
Li Fuzhen was shocked, "Why did another technology alliance suddenly appear? How come I didn't know about it?"
Lee Jae-yong smiled and said: "Oh, sister, my father and I just discussed this. We think that even if Lu Fei is given Liang Mengsong, it is possible to complete 65nm mass production within a year, but to achieve breakthroughs and mass production of the 45nm process, I am afraid that
It will take two or three years, but Samsung cannot wait. We cannot pin our hopes on Fu Xin and Liang Mengsong. One more choice means one more possibility."
"Huh~"
Li Fuzhen would not rashly raise any objections because of his relationship with Lu Fei.
After all, once complex cores are put into mass production, there will be more competitors around the world competing with Samsung for 65nm production capacity.
The more critical thing is that China Semiconductor cannot rise in order to maintain the technological advantages of Samsung and Bangzi!
So, how to deal with it?
"Dad, I don't think we need to take action. TSMC and UMC are definitely more anxious than us."
Lee Jae-yong showed a wicked smile: "Just after pressing down the center core, another core came up. They will definitely not sit idly by."
Li Jianxi looked sideways, "Fuzhen, what do you think?"
"Dad, TSMC is very likely to speed up the resolution of SMIC's major concern, and then free up its hands to focus on dealing with complex cores."
Li Fuzhen felt heartache: "I think this is an excellent opportunity for Samsung to develop."
"I have another idea."
Lee Jae-yong met the curious gazes of the two people, and said with murderous intent in his eyes: "According to our investigation and analysis, the foundry industry in the past two years is likely to face the same cold winter as DRAM chips and LCD panels. Even if re-core is realized,
65nm mass production will not be able to accept many orders. If we can make counter-cyclical investment like we did with BOE at that time, Fuxin will definitely suffer huge losses!"
Adding insult to injury!?
Li Fuzhen saw that Li Jianxi seemed to be moving and pursed his lips.
This nervous look fell in Li Zaiyong's eyes, and he licked his lips excitedly, my stupid sister!
