Chapter 344: Breakthrough in 130(nm) process technology

"Ah Yang, thank you. Although I don't know what method you used to get me into school, I think you must have paid something."

Tian Sichun never dared to hope that one day she would be able to firmly tie up Populus euphratica. It was not that she was unwilling, but that a "diamond king" like Populus euphratica was really not something that ordinary people could tie down.

Of course, she is never pessimistic about life, which may be related to her personality. She feels that living every day well and cherishing everyone around you is the most important thing.

Therefore, she will be grateful from the bottom of her heart for every contribution Populus Hu gives to her.

"What are you talking about? Xiao Chunchun, I think you are good at everything, but you can be stupid sometimes, especially like some artistic young people."

Hu Yang gently patted Tian Sichun's shoulder, telling her not to think too much.

"Yeah, I understand."

Tian Sichun fell into a deep sleep without realizing it, with a smile still hanging on her lips. Maybe she was also looking forward to something in her dream.

With the enrollment of Tian Sichun and Liu Jia, Huijia Holdings and Nishite Technology also officially signed a school-enterprise cooperation agreement with Shenhai University.

150 million yuan of funds were allocated simultaneously. For this reason, Professor Tong Ziqian, the dean of the School of Information Engineering of Shenhai University, personally came to thank Hu Yang and Chen Jialin.

Professor Tong is an academician of the National Academy of Engineering. He used to teach at Huaqing University. After the establishment of Shenhai University, he helped Vice President Chen establish the School of Information Engineering.

"Mr. Hu, I heard that you personally hired Mr. Meng Rusong to join Centcom International? It's not easy. I heard that South Korea has also been fighting for Mr. Meng, but I didn't expect that he finally chose a domestic company."

Professor Tong is a well-known scholar in integrated circuit theory. He has always paid attention to some major events in the industry.

"Haha, Mr. Meng cannot be said to be my credit. I think CoreComm International can provide him with a bigger stage. For example, most of the current affairs of CoreComm International are attributed to Mr. Meng.

It has the final say. If he really goes to Samsung in South Korea, can people trust him so unreservedly? I'm afraid not."

Hu Yang said this from the bottom of his heart. It is difficult to completely convince people like Meng Rusong just by relying on the charm of money. What they need is respect, recognition, and trust from the heart.

"That's right! Having said that, I have to admire Mr. Hu's courage. Not every leader of a company is as willing to delegate power as you are. Well, I won't bother you anymore. We have a long way to go. Whenever is convenient

Yes, I would like to invite Mr. Meng Rusong to come to the college to give a speech, and I also ask Mr. Hu to do this."

Tong Ziqian stood up and said goodbye. Before leaving, he made a small request.

"No problem. I will tell Mr. Meng later that as long as he can spare time, he will come."

Hu Yang personally sent Professor Tong to the car to show his respect.

Back in the office, Hu Yang made a call to Meng Rusong. Tomorrow is the National Day, and as a special guest, he will attend the fireworks show in Shenzhen to welcome 10.1, so he will not go to Shanghai in the past few days.

When Meng Rusong received Hu Yang's call, he couldn't help laughing: "Mr. Hu, this move of yours is really wonderful."

Many people may not realize the significance of Hu Yang’s signing of this school-enterprise cooperation agreement.

Even Xu Younian joked that the huge amount of money donated was made by Huijia Holdings and Nishite Technology, while other shareholders of companies such as Xintong International and Charming Technology all benefited from it.

And Meng Rusong saw the core of the problem.

For example, like Xentong International, the company's personnel composition is very complicated and there are many factions. In the long run, Hu Yang's move is to vigorously cultivate local talents, thereby completely solving the historical problems left by Xintong International.

"Mr. Meng, stop just watching jokes. Will you accept Dean Tong's invitation? I mean, you'd better take the time to take a trip to the deep sea."

Now, with the support of Hu Yang, Meng Rusong has temporarily suppressed all forces in the company. If Zhang Rulin can come back within a year, the company will not have a big problem. If Zhang Rulin cannot work for two or three years, his former confidants

The probability of your employees leaving the company will be very high.

Therefore, if we want to fundamentally solve Xentong International's problems, we can only continue to introduce talents.

"Mr. Hu, I understand what you are thinking, and I will definitely agree. Let's do this. Next month, I will find time to go to the deep sea."

Meng Rusong nodded hastily and agreed. He also hoped that the talents introduced by the company in the future would be branded by Hu Yang and him.

Who doesn’t like technicians who are capable and obedient to management?

On the night of National Day, Hu Yang was invited to watch the fireworks show. The warm atmosphere at the scene and the people's heartfelt joy deeply moved him.

After returning home, his mood could not be calm for a long time, and he did not fall asleep until about one o'clock in the morning.

After the National Day holiday, Meng Rusong came to Shenhai as scheduled. He gave two keynote speeches at the School of Information Engineering, and the venues were almost full.

Meng Rusong is a veritable legend in the industry. His solid theoretical foundation and endless innovative ideas also deeply impressed the students who came to listen to the lecture.

So much so that the subsequent question and answer session had to be extended three times.

At that time, some students asked: "Since international division of labor and collaboration are now advocated, why do we still design and manufacture our own chips? American products are so good, can we just buy them back and use them directly?"

Meng Rusong pondered for a while and replied: "We have an old saying that it is better to have your own mother than to have your father. I think this classmate may have forgotten that so far, there are many international technologies and equipment that are prohibited from being exported to the country.

of?

Let me give you an example here. If some countries use national security as an excuse to ban the export of certain chips, what should we do? For another example, although they do not ban the export, because you cannot make them, they sell them to you at a sky-high price.

.What should you do if you encounter this situation?"

There was a sudden silence in the audience. Everyone put themselves in their shoes and thought about it. There is only one solution to the two hypotheses Meng Rusong put forward, and that is to have them yourself.

Meng Rusong waved to the school staff, indicating that today’s speech and question session was over.

In the evening, Principal Wei Guoguang, Vice Principal Chen Qiming, and Dean Tong Ziqian had a dinner with Hu Yang, Chen Jialin, and Meng Rusong.

"Mr. Meng, your speech today was very good! Especially the question and answer session at the end, it can be said that it inspired many students to be motivated to learn."

Wei Guoguang felt that it was a pity that Meng Rusong did not engage in education. His speech was very exciting and inspiring not only to his classmates, but also to lecturers, associate professors, and professors.

Not to mention Chen Mingyuan and Tong Ziqian, it is also a gain for them to meet the big names in the industry.

"Principal Wei, you're welcome! You don't need to hold me too high. In terms of theoretical level, I can't compare to you professors who teach and educate people.

Mr. Hu and I discussed it and decided to set up a fund project jointly sponsored by Xintong International and Charming Manufacturing to support undergraduates and master's students majoring in integrated circuit engineering to study abroad. Of course, this requires signing a contract."

The funding projects mentioned by Meng Rusong are not just for poor students. Family conditions are not the threshold for application, but after completing the studies, there are legal constraints on whether to return to China to work in two companies.

Of course, you don’t have to come back, then your guarantor will bear the liability for breach of contract.

At present, the country has just joined the WTO and is in the early stages of great development. It can be said that most people are unable to accurately predict how far the country will develop in five, ten, or fifteen years.

Today's "returnees" are still very valuable, and the era when "foreign diplomas" are not necessarily easy to get away with is far from coming.

Therefore, many students who study abroad are willing to stay and work abroad, such as Silicon Valley. This is of course understandable.

Hu Yang and Meng Rusong's funding project brings the ugly words to the forefront. If you are willing to come back after completing your studies, you can sign a contract with the company. The company will provide you with a sum of funds every year so that you will have no worries during your study abroad period.

If you breach the contract, you will bear a relatively heavy liability for breach of contract. Hu Yang and Meng Rusong also emphasized this point twice.

Wei Guoguang, Chen Mingyuan and Tong Ziqian exchanged a few words in a low voice and agreed that this was a good thing.

Anyway, this project is based on the principle of voluntariness, and they will also warn students to think carefully before applying.

For applicants, the company will also have a set of strict review standards. It is not just a matter of just submitting an application to someone.

After the banquet, several school leaders left first. Hu Yang and Chen Jialin sent Meng Rusong back to the hotel together.

"Mr. Meng, you have a good rest today, and I will accompany you around tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, I will go to the Magic City with you."

I should have gone to Magic City before the National Day of Populus euphratica, but I have been delayed until now.

"I don't need any of you to accompany me in the deep sea. I'm very familiar with it. However, I want to go to Mr. Chen's Hard Rock Technology tomorrow and then go to Charming Electronics. Isn't that convenient?"

Meng Rusong simply wanted to visit and change his mind.

For some time now, the 130 (nm) process technology he led to develop has encountered a bottleneck and is temporarily unable to move forward.

Meng Rusong came to the deep sea this time not only to give face to Populus euphratica, he also wanted to find an opportunity for a sudden inspiration.

"Mr. Meng, you can go if you want. Mr. Chen and I welcome you to visit."

Hu Yang will definitely not object, and Chen Jialin will not object. Generally speaking, the foundry industry has relatively few core technologies, and the threshold is mainly reflected in capital, experience and management level.

"Hey, it is said that South Korea's Samsung and Taipower have already mastered the 90 (nm) process technology, and are waiting to increase the yield rate, and then they can achieve mass production. But what about us? We are still stuck at the 130 (nm) technology barrier.

If this continues, Xentong International will be widened by Samsung, Taipower and other companies, and the gap will become wider and wider."

The three of them arrived at the hotel where Meng Rusong stayed. Instead of going to the room, they went directly to the hotel's cafe.

Only then did Meng Rusong talk about the difficulties he encountered during the research and development process.

"Mr. Meng, there is no need to rush into things like technological upgrading. I think you might as well rest in the deep sea for a few days. You can visit if you want, or go to Xiangjiang for two days. Anyway, I haven't applied for a business jet yet.

It doesn’t matter if we leave a few days late on the route.”

It's only a few days, and it doesn't matter even if Meng Rusong and Hu Yang are not at Xintong International.

"I won't go to Xiangjiang. I would like to go to the School of Information Engineering and have a good chat with Professor Tong and others. Otherwise, Mr. Hu, we will return to the Magic City in three days."

Meng Rusong felt that he was too tired and needed to relax a little. He had a hunch that as long as he adjusted his condition, he might be able to break through those technical difficulties when he returned.

"It's up to you. I'll ask Assistant Lin to apply for the route later. We'll set off in three days."

Hu Yang smiled slightly, he was not in a hurry for a day or two anyway.

Next, Meng Rusong actually visited Nishite Technology and Charming Electronics. Then, he came to the School of Information Engineering and chatted with a group of professors and associate professors for two days.

Three days later, Meng Rusong and Hu Yang took a business jet to the Magic City.

"Mr. Hu, please help yourself. I have talked about many issues with a group of professors these days and I am deeply inspired. I have to go back to the factory as soon as possible."

Meng Rusong was also a technical geek. Once he felt that it was possible to break through technical difficulties, he immediately threw Populus euphratica aside and rushed to Xintong International.

Hu Yang was not surprised by this kind of thing and went straight back to his "old bungalow".
