TSMC's chairman's office, currently the chairman of TSMC, is known as the "chip king" and Taiwan's "semiconductor godfather" and talks with Liang Mengsong.

Mr. Zhang entered Harvard University in the United States at the age of 18. Among the 1ooo freshmen in the school, he is the only Chinese.

As a master's student who graduated from MIT at the age of 24, he entered the semiconductor industry with Moore, the founder of semiconductors and founder of Intel, and joined Texas Instruments, a US company, at the same time as Jack Kobe, an integrated circuit expert.

He has successively served as Vice President of Texas Instruments and Senior Vice President, and is the third person of Texas Instruments, second only to Chairman and President. At this time, Texas Instruments had long become the world's number one, with 60,000 employees worldwide, half of which were under the jurisdiction of Dong Zhang, and was the first Chinese to enter the highest management of large American companies.

The more you understand this person, the easier it is to admire the product.

This person can define an industry, a world-class and cutting-edge person.

Why can amd compete with Intel?

Amd is much less money than Intel, but Amd can compete with Intel, and the important thing is to have people like Dong.

Because Amd only needs to design good products, it is designed with Intel, Chang Zhongmou's TSMC and Intel-by manufacturing.

Intel has to design and manufacture both, and the people who design and manufacture have to be raised, and then they have to invest in and produce it themselves, because the equipment has been kept from the funds, funds, and funds on credit. Now, TSMC has made it, and used manufacturing to compete with Intel.

In the end, because Intel's manufacturing was twice as expensive as TSMC and its quality was worse than others, Intel's manufacturing became Intel's burden.

Intel's brand is an asset, and design is an asset, but Intel's manufacturing is its burden; the design of Amd is also very good, and TSMC's manufacturing is very cheap, so you can bite Intel and develop your own brand. This is how the whole strategy is formed.

Mr. Zhang’s TSMC price is so much better than Intel, and the company’s gross profit can reach 50%, which shows that the semiconductor industry is profitable.

It can be said that he redefined an industry.

When Jiang Hui and Liang Mengsong discussed such a person, they hoped to obtain as much understanding as possible and let Liang Mengsong remove Guanghui chips.

"Xiao Liang, you have been in the company in 1992 for 15 years, right?" said Mr. Zhang, sitting opposite Liang Mengsong, poured a cup of tea for each of them.

"To be precise, it is 14 years, 9 months and 12 days. Basically, the most important moment in my life is born at TSMC," Liang Mengsong said.

"Some time ago, there were some rumors about your job changes within the company. Don't take it to heart. It's just that some directors are messing around. I think you are doing a good job in your current position."

Due to Liang Mengsong's personality, he offended a group of people. Two months ago, there were rumors within TSMC that he would transfer Liang Mengsong from his current position and go to a free job.

"Mr. Zhang, after 20 years of exhibitions, TSMC has formed a very complete management and research mechanism. For TSMC, the talent of a single technician is not particularly significant. Now it depends on the strength of the system to compete with others," said Liang Mengsong.

The situation that Liang Mengsong mentioned is actually a situation that basically every large company will face when it goes public.

The white-collar workers in large companies are actually no different from the workers on the Futukang production line. They are just dressed in exquisite and beautiful clothes. They drink coffee in the beautiful writing room, which looks more tasteful.

Generally, the training system of large companies is very perfect, so it is especially "brainwashing". This type of training includes work methods, work thinking, work flow, etc. This type of training will indeed improve people's work efficiency, but in a certain sense, it is more like making everyone different people like standardized parts. You don't need to have too many ideas, you just need to obey and execute.

Relatively speaking, the comprehensive abilities of small companies are stronger because their job responsibilities are not as meticulous as they are, and they have to do some work and understand everything.

It is really impossible to summarize whether large companies are better or small companies.

In general, in the eyes of leaders in large companies, small companies have irregular management, and the talents trained by small companies are usually very complex and have strong comprehensiveness, and are not suitable for the professional division of labor of large companies. Therefore, it is very difficult to jump from small companies to large companies.

For small companies, they prefer to accept people from large companies. In the opinion of managers in small companies, people in large companies have received professional training and have a relatively high professional level, which will greatly promote the standardized management of small companies, so it is relatively easier to jump from large companies to small companies.

"Xiaoliang, if other engineers resign, I think your statement is still very correct. TSMC has fewer ordinary engineers and will not have any impact on the company's operations. But you are different. I think you should be very confident in your technical level, right?"

"Mr. Zhang, I am very grateful for your care and care for me over the years, but I think I don't have much prospects for career development at TSMC. And I have always had a wish that I can design and produce my own chip by myself, rather than simply OEM," Liang Mengsong found an excuse that seems easy to understand.

"You are a technical expert, and you know the survival of the global chip industry the most. Foundry is the best choice for us," said Zhang.

As the founder of chip foundry, Mr. Zhang redefined the production rules of the chip industry. Even "foundry" is already one of Mr. Zhang's beliefs, so he naturally would not let go of this view easily.

And in terms of the development of TSMC in later generations, Mr. Zhang's insistence cannot be said to be wrong.

When Jiang Hui was reborn, TSMC's annual profit had exceeded 100 million US dollars, which was definitely a very amazing number.

"Mr. Zhang, I know what problems you are worried about. I can promise that after I leave TSMC, I will never go to competitors such as Samsung, UMC, Int, Amd, IBm, SMIC, etc. You don't have to worry about what losses my departure will cause to TSMC."

Generally speaking, the non-compete agreement stipulates that no related profession is allowed within three to five years, and does not require a lifetime commitment.

However, after discussing with Liang Mengsong, Jiang Hui and Liang Mengsong felt that in order to dispel Mr. Zhang's concerns, Liang Mengsong could sign a non-compete agreement when he left the company, which specifically listed a list of companies that were not allowed to go to.

Since Guanghui chips have not even registered yet, there is definitely no Guanghui chips on this list.
