Zhang Rujing arranged to meet at Ruijin Hospital and made a special trip to greet Lu Fei at the door.
"Mr. Zhang, how to do it, how to do it."
Lu Fei got out of the car and saw this scene. He quickly walked up to him and looked him up and down, "Your body..."
"Mr. Lu, I'm still strong and I'm not sick."
Zhang Rujing smiled and explained that the reason he chose this place was because he wanted to take him to meet an old friend, Jiang Shangzhou, the chairman of SMIC.
It was he who invited Zhang Rujing to SMIC and entrusted him with important responsibilities.
He has worked hard for the development of semiconductors, and it is no exaggeration to say that he is the founder of the Shanghai chip industry.
At this time, the nurse was pulling out the needle of the infusion tube for Jiang Shangzhou. The blood flowed back several centimeters along the infusion tube. She was so frightened that she even said sorry, but he smiled and waved her hand.
"Shangzhou, look who this is?"
Zhang Rujing's people hadn't arrived yet, but the voice came first.
Jiang Shangzhou followed the sound and saw Lu Fei appearing at the door. He was surprised and quickly got out of bed: "Mr. Lu!"
The accompanying son supported him with one hand and took the fruit basket from Lu Fei with the other. He watched the two shaking hands with surprise and joy.
Lu Fei smiled and said, "Hello, Director Jiang."
"After all, this should be the first time we've met, right?" Jiang Shangzhou responded.
"Yeah, I've always wanted to meet him, but unfortunately I never had this chance." Lu Fei sat down at his greeting.
"Hey, if I hadn't been sick and hospitalized, I'm afraid we would have met a long time ago. As the saying goes, if you haven't seen Lu Gushen in your life, it's useless to call him a hero!"
"Hahaha~"
For a time, the air was filled with joy.
Jiang Shangzhou invited the nurse, son and other miscellaneous people out, leaving Zhang Rujing and Lu Fei alone in the ward.
The three of them chatted for a while, and Jiang Shangzhou said with emotion: "I heard from Ru Jing that SMIC's 40/45n process is thanks to Fuxin's technical support. Unfortunately, I don't have wine here. Since I entered the hospital, doctors and nurses are like a drop of wine."
Don't let me touch it, otherwise I will have to toast Mr. Lu three glasses of wine."
He poured three cups of tea and said, "I can only drink tea instead of wine. I would like to give a toast to Mr. Lu. You are a great contributor to China Semiconductor!"
Zhang Rujing echoed and raised his tea cup.
Lu Feiyang raised his hand: "Don't say that. The contribution of the two of you is no less than mine. If you ask me, we are all screws and bricks of China Semiconductor."
"Mr. Lu, please stop being modest. In the past few years, Logic, Fuxin, Yangtze Memory, and China Microelectronics have not been seen except in the news. What you can see in the news is worthy of a toast from me." Jiang Shangzhou said solemnly.
Said: "Especially the large fund specially set up for semiconductors. I know it was Mr. Lu who initiated it."
"No matter what, this is what I should do."
"To be honest, before the big funds, the investment in the semiconductor industry was completely insufficient. The annual investment was only enough to build 2 kilometers of subway at most. But it is different now. There are big funds and a 4 trillion plan to help solve the problem.
SMIC’s urgent need.”
"Semiconductors are technologically capital-intensive. Without people and money, nothing can be accomplished." Lu Fei took a sip of tea.
Jiang Shangzhou said: "And it is not enough to solve the difficulty in a certain link. Although complex core and SMIC have overcome the manufacturing link, from design to packaging and testing, and from materials to production equipment, which link is missing, the entire chain will be affected.
The industrial chain is still not good."
"Yes, our semiconductor industry is destined to challenge the world's most powerful companies in various fields alone."
Lu Fei touched his chin.
Zhang Rujing murmured: "The materials need to fight against Sumitomo, Fuji and Mitsui, the lenses need to fight... EDA needs to fight..."
"The road is long and long, and I don't know whether it will be easier for me to survive for one more year, or for our semiconductors to make breakthroughs one year at a time?" Jiang Shangzhou said in a serious tone after teasing, "Or, in other words, both are quite difficult.
"
"Or maybe, both of them are quite simple. What I'm going to say next, I hope you two can keep it a secret for me and not tell anyone."
Lu Fei lowered his voice.
Zhang Rujing and Jiang Shangzhou looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
They never expected that Mr. Lu would give them a big surprise!
Regarding the layout of the entire semiconductor industry chain, Lu Fei has some reservations. He will stop at the specific points and only talk about part of what can be said.
For example, in terms of lenses, Germany has Zeiss and Neon has Nikon, but now Logic has Leica and Changchun Optics...
EDA, America has Ce and Synopsys, Germany has Mentor, and Logic has already acquired Mentor International, as well as BGI.
As for the material field, there is "Silicon Group" for silicon wafers, and "Bokang Chemical" for photoresist. In short, there is one core -
Build the wall high, cast the net wide, and be king slowly.
“…”
Jiang Shangzhou and Zhang Rujing looked at each other in shock.
It’s only been seven or eight years since logic was established, right?
This is 8 years old!
"Snapped!"
Jiang Shangzhou came back to his senses, patted his thigh and took a sip of strong tea, but found it tasteless, "Ru Jing, give me a cigarette."
Lu Fei looked at the hospital gown on his body and said, "Director Jiang, you should pay attention to your health. Aren't you going to wait and see the rise of China Semiconductor?"
"This cancer has been around for almost 10 years. Maybe it will be buried next year, and you may not be able to see it anymore." Jiang Shangzhou said with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't smoke, I will just smell it, so that's okay."
Lu Fei shook his head and laughed, handing over a flower.
Jiang Shangzhou's excited heart and trembling hands took a deep breath of tobacco to calm down the turmoil in his heart.
"Now in terms of chip design, Mr. Lu's logic is no worse than that of Qualcomm, Intel, AMD, Apple, and ARM in Europe and the United States. Even in wafer foundry... Alas, Mr. Lu should have heard about the outcome of the lawsuit between SMIC and TSMC.
Alright?"
“What’s the current situation of SMIC?”
Lu Fei turned to look at Zhang Rujing.
"What else can I do? I can only accept the penalty, pay compensation to TSMC, let TSMC take a stake, and also have me step down."
Zhang Rujing sighed, "The matter started with me, let me end it. Zhang Zhongmou is targeting me. If my elimination can be used to exchange for SMIC's vitality, I am very willing!"
"What are Mr. Zhang's next plans?"
Lu Fei looked straight at him.
"Intend?"
Zhang Rujing smiled bitterly, "I have signed a non-competition agreement and cannot engage in chip-related industries for the time being. But I have thought about it. I will not leave the mainland just like that. Once the agreement period is over, I will start a silicon wafer company.
Research and development will conquer 300 and fill the gaps in this field in China."
"Why wait three years? If Mr. Zhang is willing, you can do it now." Because of his non-competition agreement, Lu Fei temporarily changed his mind and invited him to join Logic Holdings' Silicon Group.
"This this……"
Zhang Rujing was startled.
Lu Fei's lips curled up, "Silicon Group has conquered silicon wafers of size 200 and below, and is now breaking through the 300-size silicon wafers that Mr. Zhang wants to conquer."
Zhang Rujing couldn't help but feel excited, but hesitantly said: "But the competition agreement I signed will start from the second year, and I will not be allowed to work in the relevant field for three years. I'm afraid..."
"Yes, you are not allowed to engage in chip-related work. KeSi Group's main business is photovoltaic upstream materials. 300 large silicon wafers are also needed by the photovoltaic industry." Lu Fei smiled even brighter.
"Build the plank road openly, and use the warehouse secretly."
Jiang Shangzhou also smiled.
Lu Fei nodded, actually exactly the same as Liang Mengsong.
First, Zhang Rujing was arranged to be a visiting professor at NPU, and then in the name of cooperation, she was arranged to work at the Silicon Group to continue to shine.
Even TSMC can’t find fault.
Your chip industry’s affairs have nothing to do with my photovoltaic industry!
"Ru Jing, what Mr. Lu said is a good idea!"
Jiang Shangzhou persuaded his old friend with good words.
Although Zhang Rujing was excited, she also had concerns, "My personal matters are small, but what I'm most worried about now is SMIC."
Seeing their silence, Lu Fei said nothing.
The SMIC that is now in front of us is in a crisis situation.
The lawsuit was lost, the company's image was damaged, its finances were damaged, customers were suspicious, and people's hearts were unsettled. The most serious thing was that after Zhang Rujing left, his old subordinates also left one after another, leaving a vacuum at the top.
If the people's hearts are scattered and the skeleton is broken, it will be difficult to lead the team.
SMIC, which has the ability to compete with TSMC, is likely to be taken advantage of by TSMC to widen the gap.
"Don't worry, I have invited Yang Shining, Chief Technology Officer of Chartered Semiconductor, to serve as SMIC's COO. Together with your old team, we can at least stabilize the situation."
There was a hint of confidence in Jiang Shangzhou's tone.
Lu Fei frowned, thinking.
"Mr. Lu, do you think something is wrong?"
Jiang Shangzhou cast a doubtful look."
"Just a gut feeling."
Lu Fei looked left and right and expressed his concerns.
Although SMIC's senior management team has been established, it is clear that disputes between the Baodao faction headed by Zhang Rujing and the overseas returnees faction headed by Yang Shining will inevitably arise.
This is just the management. The shareholders are more complicated. Chinese capital, Taiwanese capital, and American capital all have different interests.
From top to bottom, the center core is like a time bomb.
Rapid development is okay, but once it stagnates...
"That makes sense. What Mr. Lu said makes sense!"
Zhang Rujing and Jiang Shangzhou were excited and immediately understood what Lu Fei meant. Their kindness laid the foundation for SMIC's internal strife!
"With Director Jiang here, we can still stabilize the situation, but if Director Jiang doesn't...abdicate, it will immediately cause trouble for Xiao Qiang."
Lu Fei said seriously: "It is very likely that internal fighting will break out."
Zhang Rujing still held a trace of fantasy, "Maybe the situation will not reach this point, and it is possible for them to cooperate sincerely..."
"Mr. Zhang, does Mr. Jiang know about Elpida?"
"Elpida integrated the DRAM of NEC, Hitachi and Mitsubishi, but due to internal conflicts among factions, Hitachi and Mitsubishi were forced to leave. Although NEC won, it also lost. Elpida is already heavily in debt, either this year or next year.
, it will be declared bankrupt and liquidated, we are keeping an eye on it and we can take action at any time!"
Lu Fei refilled his teacup.
"Mr. Lu, if, if it really happens, is there any way you can avoid it?" Jiang Shangzhou's heart skipped a beat.
"If there is no strong man to control the situation, internal fighting is inevitable, and one faction will never give up until it completely eliminates the other faction. Now that Mr. Zhang is gone, Mr. Jiang, you are in trouble again."
Lu Fei smacked his lips, "Unless..."
"unless?"
Jiang Shangzhou and Zhang Rujing were very curious.
"Let people from one of the factions establish another mountain gate."
Lu Fei smiled and said: "I have an immature idea here. I originally wanted to invite Mr. Zhang."
Zhang Rujing became more and more interested, "Mr. Lu, tell me."
“That’s new energy automotive semiconductors!”
While Lu Fei was pouring water into their cups, he reservedly said that Logic's layout in automotive semiconductors, which includes developing automotive systems with Huawei and helping BYD develop automotive-grade chips, requires a large number of talents. Instead of staying at SMIC,
Internal friction, it’s better to give it to him!
"As expected of Mr. Lu."
Jiang Shangzhou clapped his hands and praised, looking at Mr. Lu's art of speaking.
The words "poaching" are so fresh and refined.
Call it to resolve SMIC’s internal friction and save SMIC’s crisis!
"Mr. Lu originally wanted me to work on new energy vehicles?"
Zhang Rujing's eyes lit up.
"Yes, there is still a lack of a marshal who can lead the overall situation." Lu Fei said seriously, "Domestic car-level chips have attracted little attention, resources and talents, and new energy sources are even less. High-end microcontroller chips are seriously
Dependent on imports.”
Then he looked at Zhang Rujing and said, "This is what I think now. In three years, the Silicon Group will be able to conquer 300 large silicon wafers. By that time, I will only be the chairman in name and leave the CEO and automotive semiconductor business to Mr. Zhang."
Responsible."
"As for foundry, is SMIC..."
Zhang Rujing still worries about SMIC.
"Of course it's no problem, I had this plan originally."
Lu Fei swore that SMIC, which is now in a trough, will not stand idly by. In addition to the previous production capacity orders remaining unchanged, in the next 32n and below 32n process technology, composite core will continue to give SMIC a boost.
Just like TSMC pulling UMC to form an offensive and defensive alliance.
"Mr. Lu, be honest!"
Jiang Shangzhou smiled, gave a thumbs up, and praised loudly.
"I'm doing this for SMIC and for us. I'm so worried." Lu Fei was also leaving a backup plan to apply extreme pressure.
The export license of Fuxin's lithography equipment is no better than that of SMIC.
Zhang Rujing persuaded the five major churches in the United States to collectively endorse SMIC, and also convinced the four departments in charge of chip technology exports: Capitol Hill, Department of Commerce, Department of National Defense, and Department of Energy.
Mr. Lu relied on shorting subprime mortgages, penguin short squeeze, long gold and other interests to allow Fuxin to enjoy the same treatment.
Last year, SMIC already obtained a 32n lithography machine, and Liang Mengsong has been making breakthroughs in advanced processes on SMIC's equipment.
The application for re-core was just approved this year.
Jiang Shangzhou said helplessly: "I am a cancer patient and only have half my life left. If I can build a photolithography machine and etching machine for the country, I can give up my half life!"
"It will happen, it will happen. Don't get too excited."
Zhang Rujing quickly supported him.
"Yes, Director Jiang, if you take good care of yourself, you will definitely be able to see the photolithography machine and the etching machine catch up with the world's first-class level!"
Lu Fei also helped and offered words of comfort.
"I remember that AMEC has already made a 90n lithography machine." Jiang Shangzhou grabbed his hand and said, "China Semiconductor will leave it to Mr. Lu!" Then he grabbed Zhang Rujing's hand and said, "I'll leave it to you!"
Zhang Rujing's eyes were slightly red, and after much thought, she finally accepted Lu Fei's invitation without any reason to refuse.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the house.
The nurse reminded Jiang Shangzhou that it was time to rest, so Lu Fei stood up, shook hands with Jiang Shangzhou and Zhang Rujing and said goodbye.
Looking at their gray hair and haggard faces, I still couldn't bear it. Before leaving, I told them a secret.
"Today is April Fool's Day, Mr. Lu wouldn't make a joke, would he?"
In Jiangshangzhou, Zhang Rujing's eyes widened and he was extremely excited.
"I violated the company's confidentiality regulations."
Lu Fei made a silent gesture.
"Hahaha, hahahaha~"
In an instant, hearty laughter rang out.
Just when the nurse and family members outside the door were confused, they saw Jiang Shangzhou sending Lu Fei out of the ward, and they were so frightened that they stepped forward to help him.
Surprisingly, he seemed to be having a flashback, his complexion was rosy, except for his eyes, which were a little moist like Zhang Rujing's.
"Dad, what's wrong with you?"
Jiang Shangzhou's son was worried.
"Haha~"
Jiang Shangzhou burst into tears, "It seems that when I told the leaders that China's semiconductor industry would become world-class from 2020 to 2025, maybe it was really not a boast!"
"There will come a day."
Lu Fei solemnly said: "Director Jiang, please take care and don't worry too much about SMIC. If you encounter difficulties from shareholders, you can try to use my name to give me some face."
Zhang Rujing thanked his old friend, "Yes, just like Mr. Lu said, you should take care of yourself and try to live a few more years to see that moment with your own eyes."
"Of course I hope so."
Jiang Shangzhou waved his hand, "It's okay even if you can't see me. Then please go to my grave and pour a bottle of wine. Maotai is fine, Wuliangye is also good, but foreign wine is not necessary. I'm not used to drinking it."
"Dad, what did you say?"
Jiang Shangzhou's son complained.
Naturally, Jiang Shangzhou would not say the shocking news he had just heard about the 65n lithography machine, "I will also ask Mr. Lu to appreciate it when the time comes."
"Don't say how sad it is, Director Jiang, don't you want to see how I deal with TSMC and avenge you and SMIC?" Lu Fei's eyes flashed.
"Hahaha, I'll wait and see."
Jiang Shangzhou showed a pleased smile.
Lu Fei, Zhang Rujing and others said goodbye, but Jiang Shangzhou couldn't stand it and insisted on sending him to the hospital, so he could only obey his orders respectfully.
He took the time to get in the car and left a phone number for Jiang Shangzhou's son.
Watching the car slowly leave, Zhang Rujing supported Jiang Shangzhou, "Now you and I can relax. With Mr. Lu here, even if the semiconductor sky falls, I think he will be able to withstand it!"
"Yes, Mr. Lu's burden is much heavier than ours."
Jiang Shangzhou couldn't help but sigh: "It's all over. Let's count the famous people. Let's look at the present. Let's look at the present!"
The sun was setting in the west, and the afterglow shone on the two old people.
