Chapter 36 There are always people standing up while alive
People are selfish.
Zhao Song understood very well that these people would consider their own future before the future of a tens-billion-level enterprise. If it were him in the past, he would definitely do things even worse.
The pursuit of the spiritual level is based on the material foundation.
Zhao Song's material foundation was very solid, and his spiritual pursuits contained more or less countless emotions, which were fundamentally different from those who pursued power. Therefore, contradictions emerged.
For many people, the desire for power is addictive.
Look at the convoy of cavalry leading the way, with the management of the Tesla branch chasing after them; in the Gulfstream plane, there is a delicate little secretary who would have never thought of being a loser, blushing, and carefully tying herself up.
Tie; the beautiful and strong female assistant whom I have only seen on TV respectfully calls the boss; when people speak, people bow their heads and listen, when eating, there are people to wait on them, when traveling, drivers, bodyguards and secretaries greet each other; one word can accomplish great things, one person
Decisions can affect the livelihood of thousands of people...
This thing can make people get stuck in it and get carried away. If Zhao Song hadn't thought about his own life, gritting his teeth to keep his true feelings, and being so domineering would have been easy.
This is just the treatment of a businessman, what about the hotel? He has heard of some, and the treatment can scare people to death!
Back to topic.
There is no need to be afraid of contradictions. Finding balance from contradictions and maintaining unity in opposition is what Zhao Song is good at.
The balance and unity here are to allow Shanghai Huahong, the flagship enterprise of Zhonghua 909 Project, to maintain healthy development and release one or two advanced results from time to time, so that everyone can complete their demands on the right path.
Zhao Song believes that this is why the level of the board of directors is getting higher and higher this time. Those high-level director representatives of state-owned enterprises and government agencies not only care about Zhao Song's status as the richest man, but also his status as a consultant.
Understanding the policy direction and capital flow in advance from Zhao Song's words is related to their vital interests.
After all, it was Huahong, the pioneer of semiconductors, and every move represented big policies and big funds.
How much money do you have on hand?
Will investment in the integrated circuit industry be increased?
How much money will be invested in other industries?
Dragon City or Rongcheng?
Gangben or Top Software Park?
Compared with these, the few second-generation people who bought land by the Longcheng River in advance are not even clowns. The difference in levels makes these forces and a certain mastermind pay more attention to Zhao Song's real actions.
…………
The Bund.
The motorcade slowly stopped on the side of the road.
Director Zhao, who only got some good or bad news in advance, got out of the Audi car and got into Xiaoyu's Santana 2000. Then the government convoy continued on the road, leaving only Zhao Song's Audi car.
Behind him, a person in charge of the Tesla team came down. He hesitated nervously until Qin Han glared at him and reluctantly left with the team.
Then Zhao Song got off the car and walked slowly towards the river, enjoying the scenery relaxedly.
The Bund is very solemn during the day, and the Pearl Tower in position C cannot hide the fact that this is a foreign architecture expo, so the handsome foreigners standing by the river do not look out of place at all.
Zhao Song walked up to the handsome blond guy: "Hi~ Frank."
Frank, the founder of winmap and the biggest contributor to the Tesla Soundfield digital music ecosystem: “hi~nicolas.”
Patting Frank on the shoulder, Zhao Song smiled and said: "It seems that the person in charge of our Tesla Shanghai branch is not doing well."
Frank shrugged.
"Hey, Frank, can you tell me why?" Zhao Song asked.
Tesla Shanghai is Tesla's software division in Huazhuangjia. After Wang Xin worked at Tesla and Frank became the head of the artificial intelligence department, the importance of this place seems to be less than before.
Frank did not answer immediately, but took out a piece of information and said: "After hearing that you didn't see anyone before the board of directors, Li Qiang begged me to give it to you. Maybe you can find out from this document
The reason why he is unhappy."
Zhao Song took the information, which contained two handwritten documents.
One is from Yin Zhiyao, the founder of China Micro Semiconductor, a joint-stock company owned by Zhongguancun, who manufactures etching machines. In layman terms, the main difference between it and Northern Huachuang, where Zhao Song works, is that the former develops wet etching, while the latter does dry etching.
.
One is He Rongming, the founder of China Micro Semiconductor, a joint-stock company owned by Zhongguancun Holdings. The major shareholder is Shanghai Electric, a large state-owned enterprise in Shanghai City, which makes photolithography machines.
The two documents were written in great detail. The two elders maintained sufficient respect for the company's major shareholders. In addition to introducing the company's development, they also tactfully made some suggestions to Zhao Song:
If the current R&D route in the field of semiconductor manufacturing equipment is wrong, please get it back on the right path as soon as possible.
How do they know it's wrong?
Zhao Song told them.
Don't doubt how destructive a super rich man can be if he wants to cause trouble.
In the past two years, Zhao Song has continuously funded research institutes in island countries (Nikon, Canon, etc.) to publish research results in major global journals; he has constantly targeted Lin Benjian, a top optical expert, and prevented him from participating in various semiconductor seminars, just to delay the global
Semiconductor equipment manufacturers expand investment in immersion lithography technology.
As for the failure of Moore's Law, what does it have to do with him?
However, today, two great men who were highly respected by Zhao and Song wrote letters to persuade him to give up this behavior...
Is this... technology without borders?
Zhao Song scratched his head in confusion.
"Zhao, I have been at the flower garden for more than two years, and I understand your strange patriotic thoughts very well." Frank said leisurely.
"Hey!" Zhao Song replied dissatisfied, "This is not patriotic. As a member of Tesla, you should understand how much profit it means if its end products are replaced by domestic products here."
"Realistic profits." Frank spread his hands and said nonchalantly, "Z, I don't care about the country or politics. I'm telling you the actual situation. The current situation is:
Look at this beautiful country, this prosperous city, look at the Shanghai Volkswagen running on the street, it contains 5,000 parts, what is your domestic production rate?"
"..."
Zhao Song's face instantly darkened.
Frank turned a blind eye and expressed his opinion straightforwardly: "How many parts does a photolithography machine have?
One hundred thousand!
I can describe it to you this way: This is a product that combines top technologies in the fields of mathematics, optics, fluid mechanics, polymer physics and chemistry, surface physics and chemistry, precision instruments, machinery, automation, software, and image recognition."
Zhao Song: "..."
Frank: "Z, I don't know if the basic education of flower growers is bad. I'm not an educationist, but I know that the higher education of flower growers is definitely not outstanding.
These two companies can no longer go on. What they need is not large capital investment, but technical direction. What they need is correct basic research papers published by the world's top journals, not the wrong route you say."
"..."
"Similarly, z, do you know why the person in charge is unhappy? Because our stupid dog can't walk anymore and is stuck in the bricks game without moving!"
Having said this, Frank helplessly patted Zhao Song on the shoulder: "I like it here. Here, I have the biggest and best office, a service team is provided for me, and I am about to become a billionaire.
z, I love it here, I even found a girlfriend who grows flowers, but..."
Under Zhao Song's silent gaze, Frank's expression turned ugly: "But I have to go back, z, I have to go back to school in the field of neuroscience; we also need a mathematician, someone who can solve the problem when our algorithm can't go on. Mathematicians who provide perfect ideas.
None of these things can be provided to us here."
Of course I know, why don't I work hard? Zhao Song scratched his head in frustration. In front of this foreigner, he didn't have to worry about his image.
"When are you leaving?"
"The faster, the better." Speaking of this, Frank became excited, "Z, I have a hunch that this dog will be able to move that damn cube game right away, and then we will attack the highest intelligence game of mankind - Go. , the only pity is that these things need to be done in the United States."
Zhao Song's expression slowly recovered. After a moment, he nodded calmly and said, "Then let's go."
So simple?
Frank looked at him in surprise.
"About that dog playing Go, my suggestion is a bit immature." Suddenly, Zhao Song stretched out his finger and nodded his head with a slight trembling. "This is from a native with higher education under the education system of a flower farmer." suggestion."
"..." Frank swallowed hard, "Hey~z, if what I said before offended you, then I apologize."
"Listen carefully!"
Zhao Song roared: "First, go to IBM. They don't pay attention to the significance of Deep Blue and seal it in a museum. You must pay attention to it. Deep Blue's Monte Carlo tree search algorithm is of unparalleled importance to that dog.
Second, since you want to learn artificial neural networks, you must pay attention to the work by yann -5 in 1998 and its success in the recognition of handwritten digits.
This is a true multi-layer structure learning algorithm. Understand it and analyze it. When you construct a neural network with 8, 9 or more hidden layers, it means that it will be possible for the dog to become smarter. "
Frank looked at Zhao Song dumbfounded, and watched him shake his head regretfully and said, "When you discover it, I hope you can publish a paper in the name of a chair professor at my alma mater. I have thought of a name for you, and it will be called 'Deep Learning'." 'Bar."
"...Is there...any more...?"
Frank suddenly found that his tongue was numb.
"have!"
Zhao Song growled, "Training that dog, no, no matter it is a dog or a sheep, no matter which higher country or company it is, data labeling is required.
Shit Frank, guess where the most data in the world is?”
"..."
Facing the inexplicably angry Zhao Song, Frank felt that the best way was to remain silent.
"At the florist's house!
And this human-based work will be completed by countless programmers with higher education backgrounds that you look down upon!"
(Later reinforcement learning solved this problem, but who knows now?)
"...and...?"
"No more."
"Then I'm leaving...?"
"bye!"
Zhao Song waved his hand and finally warned in a low voice, "If you let me know that you dare to be sorry to your flower gardening girlfriend..."
"bye!"
Frank fled.
"By the way, z, give that dog a name."
“siri.“
…………
Looking from the Bund towards the Oriental Pearl Tower, Shanghai looks like a big city in the sea, and it is incredibly beautiful.
However, what is the localization rate of cars produced in such a beautiful and prosperous city?
Zhao Song thought in confusion.
It seems that when he came back, few people talked about it.
Because the localization of automobiles is not possible, there are new energy sources that can replace it. What about semiconductors?
I am so happy to be stuck in America~
5g, the sixth information technology revolution (not industry), its real-time transmission speed makes the concept of the Internet of Things possible.
When the technological development in the fields of quantum computing and energy is still vague, the Internet of Everything seems to mean a new generation of technological revolution?
All fools know that the first person to eat crabs in a revolution will make a lot of money.
The United States is not a fool. It has reaped almost all the dividends of the Industrial Revolution and understands best what it means to control the standards of the technological revolution.
Therefore, its people have a good time, because it occupies all high value-added industries; so the flower growers enter the sweatshops with blood and tears, struggling to earn every dollar of foreign exchange.
Ao Guanhai, a good friend of flower growers, said: "If the 1.3 billion flower growers all live like the Australian people, it will be a disaster for the entire Western world!"
So there are always people who say that they are living, and we are living.
So some people want to take a shortcut and go out to live after completing compulsory education.
(Standing in 2020 and shouting, hey, among a group of white-skinned people, are you still living?)
…
But we have to catch up, someone has to do something.
Otherwise, not only our generation, but also our next generation... will only be able to live forever.
…
In the warm summer breeze, Zhao Song took the personal phone call from the little secretary.
"Hello, Mr. Lin."
"..."
Even if he didn't speak, Zhao Song could still think of the top expert opposite him gnashing his teeth - as long as he wasn't a fool, he would always think about who his accidents at so many conferences were related to.
"I have an intention to cooperate. I wonder if Mr. Lin is interested in hearing about it?"
"No, not at all." He gritted his teeth.
Zhao Song snickered and said: "If Mr. Lin agrees, then starting from today, I will personally fully support Mr. Lin in attending various semiconductor seminars."
"...叏?"
"..." Don't choke to death, Zhao Song waited anxiously.
"What cooperation?"
"In the next two years, I will serve as a chair professor at Capital University of Information Science and Technology. Through seminars, summer schools, international conferences and other forms, I will attract more well-known scholars in the field of scientific research, and have in-depth cooperation and exchanges with teachers and students of the school, so as to provide teachers and students with more
Opportunities for international exchanges and scientific research cooperation..." Zhao Song introduced softly, "During this period, it will not affect Professor Lin's appointment at Bayji Electric."
Dog x's bay pole electric.
Zhao Song secretly cursed that even the person he chose to be the helmsman of Huahong Future could only make it into the top ten of Bayji Electric's talent pool. You can imagine how terrifying this company is!
"……Can!"
The other side did not think for long before a low roar came out.
Zhao Song smiled happily: "Then I will wait for Professor Lin in the capital!"
"Dududu~"
He was answered with a very rude hang-up sound.
Zhao Song, who was in a good mood, didn't care. He threw his cell phone to his secretary and quietly enjoyed the scenery in front of him.
Of course, admiring the scenery is fake, but the sudden change of mind is real.
The plan of overtaking in corners in the field of high-end equipment was completely ruined. Zhao Song had already expected it, but he just wanted to give it a try. He didn't always say that dreams must be made. If it comes true...
What if it turns out that Zhao Song's fantasy is that 9999. Based on the current overall scientific research of flower growers, it is simply a fantasy.
So he came to Shanghai.
How could there be no second preparation?
So he came to Huahong.
The high-end field requires long-term accumulation, but in another life, many people did not know that in a certain industrial chain in the field of integrated circuits, flower growers occupied more than 60% of the monopoly position from the source production equipment to the terminal market.
It’s the field of integrated circuits!
"Old Qin."
"Here you are."
"Call Wen Zhenwen and Liao Yingzhu."
Zhao Song said leisurely, "Tell them, don't let the old professor suffer, and sign it tonight."
Qin Han asked in surprise: "What to sign?"
"Investment agreement." Zhao Song said with a smile, "Gang Ben and Top? What if they are there or not? I attracted the attention of those who made the idea to my side just to relieve the pressure on the old professor and let the company's equity
The structure is simpler.”
Qin Han couldn't help but asked: "Can a small company put in so much effort?"
"As for!" Zhao Song turned around and looked at Qin Han solemnly, "Although it is a small company, I am writing an unlimited check to the professor for acquisitions, mergers and acquisitions, poaching, and I will let him focus on the industry.
High-quality resources, tackling key problems regardless of cost.”
"..."
"Old Qin, the first goal of Zhongguancun Holdings this time is to become a stepping stone enterprise into a market worth hundreds of billions!"
…………
Night falls.
Jinling, NTU residential building.
Old Professor Sun Xiangzhen paced back and forth in his study, the anxiety on his face making the wrinkles a little deeper.
In 2003, the conversion rate of my country's scientific and technological achievements was less than 5%, which means that the probability of failure was more than 95%. The reason is that there are many checkpoints in the process of "transformation", and each checkpoint is a "flaming mountain". If you can't cross it, the "baby" will die.
Generally, the "three steps" of industrialization of scientific research results are from small trials to pilot trials and then to industrial production.
It's difficult, but no matter how difficult it is, what can you do? In this country where you can only live, there will always be people who stand up and do something.
Even if you go through a lot of difficulties when doing it...
But Professor Sun Xiangzhen never imagined that it would be so difficult!
2003 was destined to be a disaster for him.
Since the beginning of the year, almost every day has been a "cold winter night" for him.
Foreign manufacturers have joined forces to lower prices to an increasing extent, so that the selling price is lower than the cost. These powerful large companies tried to defeat the flower growers' optoelectronic industry by fighting for funds at all costs, and finally forced the old professor to surrender.
Sun Xiangzhen knows that although he has made great efforts to open up the market, the result of sales below cost price is that the more he sells, the more serious the losses will be. At this time, he just owes a lot of debt. How can he have strong strength and "group"?
"Wolf" fight?
"no!"
Suddenly, the old professor stood still and said, "This is my 'child'. This is the country's hope to break the technological blockade."
He gritted his teeth and muttered to himself: "Write a letter and ask for help from your superiors!"
History has taken a turn at this moment. The state's intervention has not changed. What has changed is that private entrepreneur Zhang Xingguo and others who gritted their teeth and acted righteously have become the richest man Zhao Song.
"Bang bang bang~"
"Teacher, professor~"
There were frantic knocks and shouts outside the door.
Sun Xiangzhen heard that it was his student and quickly went over to open the door.
"Xiao Jin, what's wrong with you in such a hurry?"
"Old... teacher..." Xiao Jin suddenly stuttered, "Provincial... leader..."
"Oh?" Sun Xiangzhen's eyes lit up and she asked excitedly, "Here comes the leader from the province."
"And...there are also city leaders..."
"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and pick him up..."
"Professor...change...change clothes."
Sun Xiangzhen was anxious: "Xiao Jin, don't make the leader wait any longer."
"No..." Xiao Jin said incoherently, "They... are accompanying... Wen Zhenwen, Liao Yingzhu, professor, from Zhongguancun Holdings. If you haven't heard of it, you must have heard of Tesla, right?"
"Zhao...Song..." The old professor's mouth trembled.
"That's right." Xiao Jin nodded repeatedly, "The leader asked me to inform you that this is a business visit and you have to change clothes."
"Change~change~"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Wen Zhenwen's smiling voice:
"No."
She came forward with Liao Yingzhu and shook hands with Sun Xiangzhen respectfully:
"Because the mission is urgent, this visit is a bit hasty. I hope Professor Sun doesn't mind."
"I don't mind, I don't mind."
Sun Xiangzhen's eyes widened because he saw Liao Yingzhu taking out the check.
Is this a business visit? Or a negotiation?
"This is twenty million."
Liao Yingzhu respectfully put down the check, "It can be settled by the accounting firm selected by NTU, Professor Sun, and the city government, and Zhongguancun Holdings will occupy the shares in a normal proportion."
Professor Sun trembled slightly and took deep breaths. After a long time, he asked softly:
"Qing...ask, do you have any requirements?"
"some."
Liao Yingzhu handed over another check, but Sun Xiangzhen didn't see any numbers on it.
"This is an unlimited check. The only requirement of Zhongguancun Holdings is that in addition to completing research and development in the field of optoelectronics, your company will fully enter this field..."
As he spoke, Liao Yingzhu handed Sun Xiangzhen a piece of information, "For all domestic semiconductor manufacturers related to the Zhao and Song Dynasties, the domestic substitution rate of these special materials is still 0!"
Liao Yingzhu's words were calm, but they made everyone in the room feel very cold.
"Electronic special gas."
Sun Xiangzhen looked at the information and murmured.
"That's right." Liao Yingzhu nodded, "On behalf of Mr. Zhao Song, I promise that Zhongguancun Holdings' support for you... will not be capped!"
"..."
Under the dumbfounded gaze of the whole room, Sun Xiangzhen hardly thought at all.
He was trembling, with red eyes, and growled:
"good!"
After speaking, he turned around, raised his head, and read the four big characters on the wall.
…
In this country where you can only 'live', there are always many brave people standing up and working hard to do something.
…
Liao Yingzhu followed the old professor's gaze and muttered softly:
"Nanda Optoelectronics!"
ps: six thousand words.
The upstream and downstream monopoly industry is photovoltaic (monocrystalline silicon).
In addition to being the most upstream MO source supplier, Nanda Optoelectronics is also a manufacturer of electronic special gases. In 2018, the domestic substitution rate was 14%.
