Chapter 57 Explanation

Chapter 57 Explanation
Lu Yao came back soon, bringing the waiter with him.

Hu Li was the host today, so naturally she was the one ordering the dishes.

While ordering the dishes, Wang Tianshu asked:

"You two will release your results on the 23rd?"

"Correct."

Lu Yao nodded.

At this time, Wei Qianqian said:
"Let's not talk about grades. The gap between us is as huge as heaven and earth."

"Haha."

Wang Tianshu smiled and shook his head:

"The college entrance exam is important, but in fact, when you look back in two years, you will find that it is nothing more than a summary of your 12 years of education. Good or bad, it is just a stage in life. Now you can focus on the future."

Lu Yao naturally agreed with his idea. After all, he was also an experienced person. He nodded in agreement and asked Wei Qianqian:

"What major do you plan to apply for, monitor?"

"It's still biotechnology engineering. I'm more interested in this aspect."

At this time, Wang Tianming spoke:
"You are interested in electronic engineering? What is it mainly about?"

Facing this technical expert, Lu Yao's attitude was always serious.

Regardless of whether his role today is Hu Li's younger brother, just for the honor of their breakthrough in 12-micron copper interconnect technology in the previous life 0.13 years ago, this person will definitely be written into the history books.

"I want to study microelectronics. I'm more interested in chips."

Hearing this, Wang Tianming nodded:
"I see... Then let me tell you about this area."

"Well, good."

"In fact, there is a big gap between the upper and lower limits of this field. To give the simplest example, let's not talk about non-key universities. There is also a clear division among key universities. For example, the bottom ones are Xi'an University of Posts and Telecommunications, Northeast Forestry University, Jiangsu University of Science and Technology, Harbin Institute of Technology, etc. The middle level is generally the middle 211 and the bottom 985, such as Jinling University of Posts and Telecommunications and Harbin Engineering University. And the upper level is Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, TV University, Fuhua University, and Tsinghua University. In fact, it is not difficult to find that, first of all, from the perspective of professional distribution, they are all in first-tier cities, and these cities gather talents. The microelectronics industry is also an industry that requires a large-scale talent cluster to tackle tough problems. Small places simply cannot develop it."

"Ah."

Lu Yao nodded and listened attentively.

Even though he knew all this.

"As for employment prospects, as I said before, there is a big gap between the upper and lower limits of the industry. Students from ordinary colleges, especially those majoring in electronics, are actually mostly unemployed after graduation if we only count undergraduates. Not to mention that they cannot find a job that really matches their major, even if they do, they are mostly at the grassroots level of related industries. And one thing we cannot ignore is that if you only have undergraduate studies, then in order to stay in a big city for work, you will inevitably face a series of competitions such as the intensity of job competition in big cities and the high cost of living..."

Lu Yao discovered that although this man seemed dull at ordinary times, in fact, once it came to professional matters, he could speak eloquently, whether it was about the profession or the current state of the industry.

With some emotion, he nodded:
"Teacher, I plan to read all the way through."

"Lu Yao, just call me brother, no need to be so polite."

Wang Tianshu said.

"Uh... OK. Brother Wang."

"Ah."

Wang Tianming also acquiesced to this title and continued:

"It's the right idea to continue studying, because microelectronics is a macro concept. In undergraduate studies, the content about microelectronics is actually relatively general. The real distinction and the place where everyone can show their strengths is from the graduate stage. Being admitted to graduate school and doctoral studies means that as an individual, you already have the capital to survive in the industry. The microelectronics industry has a high learning intensity. You will find that just learning this knowledge will take up a lot of your time. If you don't continue studying or can't work in related industries, these four years for an ordinary student... at least in my opinion, is a waste."

"Uh-huh."

"It's great that you can continue reading. But at the same time, you have to make sure that you are truly interested in this industry. I have taught some students who were once full of enthusiasm, but this line of work... the further you go, the more you need strong theoretical knowledge and personal talent..."

"Brother, Lu Yao will definitely be fine."

Seeing that his elder brother was getting more and more off-topic, Wang Tianshu quickly gave him a reminder.

"Uh……"

Wang Tianming was stunned for a moment, then he reacted belatedly and coughed again:
"Ahem, well, I know, but I still need to make it clear what the current state of the industry is."

While he was talking, Hu Li had finished ordering the dishes.

But she didn't say anything to interrupt, but just listened.

But Wang Tianming saw that she was listening and thought about what his brother had said when he came, so he changed the subject abruptly:

"Actually, with your grades, Qinghua is fine, but I think Fuhua is more suitable for you."

"..."

Lu Yao's mouth twitched.

Because this is a really abrupt change of subject. Quite abrupt.

He thought for a while and said:
"From what I read online, the academic atmosphere at TVU is stronger, while Fuhua pays more attention to business."

"Yes, and also wrong."

Wang Tianming shook his head:
"What you mean by business is from an economic perspective. But in fact, the investment in the microelectronics chip industry is huge. The research funding for a single project may start at 10 billion, which is difficult for ordinary commercial economy to support. The reason why the academic atmosphere at the TV University is strong is that there is a lack of environmental policy support. However, the mountain city has been trying to build a gathering place for high-tech talents in the past few years. It should take about five years in the future. It will transform little by little. By then, the TV University can be said to be even more powerful. But the microelectronics industry is one step ahead, and the gap with the southeast coast is still difficult to make up. And in our industry, there are not many people who are truly capable of operating independently."

After he finished speaking, Wang Tianshu nodded:
"That's true, Lu Yao. Have you often seen news reports that a certain province is going to build an electronic high-tech industrial park to attract a large number of outstanding talents?"

"...Yeah, I see it often."

“In reality, this kind of thing doesn’t work.”

On behalf of his brother, he explained to Lu Yao:
"There are only two paths for the chip industry. One is independence... But how should I put it? Our country's technology is still very backward. In terms of software, our market share in the global software market is only 1%, and the chip industry, whether in terms of chip structure design or other aspects... Or to be more precise, if you want to work in this industry, the EDA software you need to learn also needs to be authorized by foreign countries. We have been walking the road of independence, but it is very difficult.

The other is a Sino-foreign joint venture... But foreign companies pursue profits. If you want to make profits in the chip business, you have to increase your production capacity. However, most of the Sino-foreign joint ventures are small and medium-sized enterprises. They do not rely on external revenue, but more on subsidies to survive. Therefore, these two paths are basically unworkable. By the same token, the microelectronics industry cannot do without the support of business, and this "business" is not just some small and medium-sized companies. It is companies with real economic strength that cooperate with us, and at the same time, various provinces provide policy support and support. Both are indispensable..."

He said, Lu Yao just nodded.

Because what Wang Tianshu said is absolutely right.

When he graduated, Sichuan and Chongqing were just about to transform into high-tech cities, and the whole of Sichuan and Chongqing were strongly supporting it. Various state-owned or private companies such as Huawei, SMIC, and AMEC moved in. And 2010 happened to be the year when the most important 909 project upgrade and renovation during the 0.13th Five-Year Plan period also focused on Sichuan and Chongqing... It can be said that the time has come and the world has joined forces, and the 909-micron copper interconnect project of Mr. Wang is also one of the fruits of the project.

After hearing what he said, Lu Yao realized... Indeed, if there was no 12th Five-Year Plan, the Sichuan and Chongqing regions would still be far behind.

"So, at present... as far as our country is concerned, the only region that truly achieves a balance between commercial and technical support is our Magic City and the related industrial parks around Magic City. It is not an exaggeration to say that this is the heart of the microelectronics industry."

I have to admit that Wang Tianshu is indeed well versed in the skill of "grasping the key points" and he brought the topic back cleverly.

And he seemed to be afraid that Lu Yao didn't understand, so he added:

"If you don't plan to study abroad and want to contribute to the development of our country's microelectronics industry, then Fuhua is more suitable than other schools."

After that, he smiled and said in a humorous tone:
"You didn't call me brother in vain. As for the microelectronics industry, we can plan a very straight path for you. Even Qianqian doesn't have such treatment as you."

Wei Qianqian's mouth twitched.

She is indeed not interested in the electronics industry, but prefers to do biological research.

If she worked in the electronics industry, her salary would actually not be worse than Lu Yao's.

But this kind of thing depends purely on the individual.

Just like what my cousin said, in this industry, people who are interested will find it very interesting. But people who are not interested will find diodes, transistors, photoresists, silicon wafers, etc.... When Wei Qianqian thought about playing with sand every day in the future, she felt that such a life would be better for her to play the piano.

It's a bit too boring.

but……

She glanced at Lu Yao secretly.

If... Lu Yao could take revenge on Hua, that would actually be a good thing.

Apart from anything else, at least we have a partner for the performance.

Besides, I am not familiar with Fuhua. If I had a classmate to talk to, we could chat...

Ok.

It's really good.

Not only was she thinking, Lu Yao was also in deep thought.

In his heart, he had already given up on Open University, his alma mater.

As for undergraduate studies, every school is similar.

And the graduate students...
