I can become stronger by paying salaries. I have one billion employees!

Chapter 501 Cai Qiming's Uncle: The Opportunity to Enter the Chip Manufacturing Industry! Chen Yansen: Is President Wang Surprised?

The first Integrated Circuit Industry Exchange and Promotion Conference concluded successfully at 5 p.m.

Chen Yansen received a stack of business cards inlaid with gold and silver, and also added dozens of entrepreneur friends on Yunzhou.

Chen Yansen talked most with Liu Xunfeng and Wang Chaoxin, and quickly grasped the general idea of ​​everything from silicon wafer supply channels to the quality of photoresist and sputtering targets.

The content of the third-party research report differs significantly from the statements of Liu Xunfeng, Wang Chaoxin, and others.

But after a moment's thought, Chen Yansen understood the key to it.

Research reports are ultimately made by people, and behind them lie various complex variables, resulting in a superficial understanding of the supply chain.

But those who actually work on the production line know that you can't rely solely on paper data in this industry; there are too many unseen pitfalls hidden in reality.

Liu Xunfeng muttered a complaint: a certain silicon wafer supplier quoted a price 10% lower than its competitors, but 5% of the wafers in each batch always had microcracks that were difficult to see with the naked eye and could only be exposed through machine testing.

Wang Chaoxin revealed that the photoresist provided by Shin-Etsu Chemical is listed in the parameter table as having an "applicable temperature range of 10 to 30 degrees Celsius". However, during the rainy season, when the humidity in the workshop is slightly high, uneven development will occur. This kind of information is not found in industry reports at all.

For example, the target material has a nominal lifespan of 500 hours, but in reality it needs to be replaced after 450 hours, otherwise pinholes will appear in the coating.

This is a common problem in business districts. Regardless of the industry, there is a bad habit of inflating data; it's just a matter of degree.

Chen Yansen thought for a moment and pondered: I need to choose someone who knows the business; they need to understand not only the technology but also the production process.

After saying goodbye to He Boting, Liu Xunfeng, Wang Chaoxin and others, Chen Yansen returned to the hotel by car.

Upon entering the room, one could see Song Yuncheng sitting at her desk, wearing a light green cotton pajama set, reviewing information such as the business development progress and KA merchant activation rate for the first half of the month from the major client business development department.

Hearing the noise outside the door, Xiao Chengzi subconsciously turned her head, and after seeing Chen Yansen, she ran and jumped into his arms.

Chen Yansen pinched her chin and pecked her pink lips.

"How was today's meeting? Did you gain anything?"

Song Yuncheng smiled gently and asked casually.

"Yes, several billion." Chen Yansen took her hand, pulled her to the bedside, and then sat her on his lap.

Just as Song Yuncheng was about to say something, she felt a pair of large hands reach in from under the hem of her pajamas.

"He seems to have grown a little?"

Chen Yansen muttered to himself.

Song Yuncheng's weakness was exploited, and her body went limp, causing her to collapse.

The two did not enter the hotel restaurant until 8 p.m.

Chen Yansen took out his phone and found dozens of new messages, including greetings from semiconductor industry executives and private messages from Zhou Hongyi, Zhang Chaoyang, and others.

"Old Zhang invited me to go sea fishing, do you want to go?"

Chen Yansen asked Song Yuncheng.

Will this interfere with your schedule tomorrow?

Song Yuncheng wanted to go, but was afraid of disrupting his original plans.

"No." Chen Yansen picked up a piece of shrimp that Song Yuncheng had peeled and put it in his mouth, replying with a light laugh.

"Then I'll fish for you to eat?" Song Yuncheng suggested with a grin.

"Okay." Chen Yansen nodded slightly.

Considering Song Yuncheng just changed into her Pikachu cosplay outfit, I'll hang a few more fish for her tonight.

at the same time.

Xucheng, Zhuxianzhuang Science and Technology Park, Office Building No. 6.

Design Director Tsai Chi-ming was leaning back on the sofa in the break room, making a phone call to his uncle in Taiwan.

"Damn it! The second-instance judgment of the Intellectual Property Court is outrageous! TSMC's demands are completely unreasonable."

Cai Qiming spoke gently, but his expression was one of anger.

"There's nothing we can do. TSMC Taiwan is afraid I'll reveal the specific process details and material formulas to Shanxing. By the way, are you getting used to living in China?"

As Liang Jinsong listened to his nephew standing up for him, a warm smile appeared on his lips.

"Hey, Uncle, I bet you can't guess just how fast things are developing in China."

With just a smartphone, you can travel freely throughout the country. Even when eating snacks at a street night market, you can use QR code payment—it's done with a simple "ding."

My boss, Chen Yansen! You've probably heard of him, and he's even more amazing. He's only twenty-one years old and has already become the world's richest man. Let me tell you, Orange phones might surpass Apple in sales this year—and I mean global sales!

When Cai Qiming talked about the changes in China, he became excited and couldn't stop, his words filled with admiration for Chen Yansen.

"Yes, I know. The foundry business for the Tiangong A100 chip is handled by TSMC in Taiwan. From the instruction set to the architecture, it is almost entirely self-developed technology."

China is making rapid progress in chip design; I've heard that Apple, Shanxing, and Qualcomm have all purchased architecture licenses for the Orange Z1 instruction set.

Liang Jinsong responded with considerable approval.

As far as he knows, Nvidia's next graphics card product will use Orange Technology's XuanShu architecture.

This was something that would have been absolutely impossible before.

After all, everyone knows that China's integrated circuit industry has always been a technological backwater.

"Uncle, since the ban from TSMC only prohibits you from working for Shanxing, why don't you come to Xucheng?"

Cai Qiming asked tentatively.

"What would I do in the virtual city? My technical and management experience is only applicable to the chip manufacturing industry, while Tiangong Technology is a chip design company."

Liang Jinsong explained calmly.

"Oh, I see. I thought they were all the same! Sorry, Uncle, you know I'm an art student," Cai Qiming said with an awkward laugh.

He paused and then said, "Why don't you bring your mother to China for a few days, just to help her relax?"

In his view, his uncle was restricted by a non-compete agreement, so he couldn't go to Singapore Semiconductor or return to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company. If he stayed in Taiwan for the next two years, he would be bored to death.

Furthermore, China has changed rapidly in recent years. The new things in the industry, such as QR code payment, high-speed rail travel, e-commerce, food delivery, and smartphones, are already novel to the elderly.

Besides, my uncle is very familiar with the semiconductor industry, so maybe he can come across some new opportunities while he's here.

The Taiwan Intellectual Property Court ruled that the uncle was prohibited from disclosing TSMC's trade secrets and from providing any services to Sungrow in any form before 2016.

What if it's not a mountain star?

of course can!

“Okay, your mom has been saying she wants to try authentic Beijing roast duck, so I’ll take her to Beijing for a few days first, and then we’ll come see you.”

After thinking for a moment, Liang Jinsong said to Cai Qiming.

Actually, it was his sister who asked him to make that call.

Both mother and son were stubborn but soft-hearted; they clearly cared about each other, but neither was willing to dial that number first.

Tsai Chi-ming did not return to Taiwan even once in two years while he was in the country.

As the uncle, Liang Jinsong should step in to ease the tension between the two.

"Okay, I'll book your plane tickets right away."

Cai Qiming is a sensible person.

No matter how close or good the relationship is, or how rich the uncle is, he cannot take advantage of him.

He knew perfectly well that his uncle was only accompanying his mother to China this time, and there was no way he would let the other party pay for it.

Moreover, as the design director of Pinbei, his annual salary, bonuses, and stock options amount to at least 200 million yuan, so a few tens of thousands of yuan in expenses is nothing to him.

Upon hearing this, Liang Jingsong smiled with satisfaction.

He wasn't happy because he saved some money; what truly pleased him was that his nephew's actions showed he was now earning a good income.

With a solid economic foundation, life will naturally not be too bad.

Cai Qiming and Liang Jingsong chatted for another ten minutes or so before hanging up.

He suddenly stood up, pushed open the frosted glass door, and walked outside.

What he was really thinking was: If only the boss were to get involved in the chip manufacturing industry. With his uncle's technical experience, process optimization capabilities, and supply chain connections, he could easily become a CTO, if not a CEO.

Moreover, Senlian Capital offers generous compensation and has tremendous potential.

the other side.

Chen Yansen handed a list to the human resources department, asking them to find each person's address and contact information as soon as possible.

Mr. Chen's talent reserve strategy is very straightforward: others cultivate, I poach.

In his view, there is no corner that cannot be dug down, only a hoe that cannot be wielded.

With his mental strength, he could easily recruit at least six out of ten people if he took action, making him a veritable "human succubus".

Just like at the conference center at noon, even Dai Zhenyu couldn't help but ask him why Mike Keller was willing to cross the ocean and come to this poor and remote place, Xucheng, to serve Tiangong Technology.

To outsiders, it seemed as if Michael Keller had been bewitched.

After finishing his work, Chen Yansen didn't stay idle in Yanjing. With the help of Hu Ruihui's connections, he toured several universities and, with his excellent 'eloquence,' successfully recruited several capable R&D personnel.

He needs overseas Chinese electronics engineers, but he also needs foreign engineers, and a portion of his own people must also be included.

……

……

The next morning, Chen Yansen arrived at the Central Office in Yanjing by car.

The symposium on new energy vehicle subsidies was not held at the International Conference Center, but rather at the Central Office.

As soon as he got out of the car, Wang Chuanfu, who was diagonally opposite him, was taken aback.

What does the symposium on subsidies for new energy vehicles have to do with Chen Yansen, a battery seller?
Chen Yansen glanced at the other person and greeted him with a smile, "Mr. Wang, are you surprised?"

"No, no, I heard that President Chen came to Yanjing. I thought you had already returned to Xucheng after the meeting the day before yesterday."

Wang Chuanfu quickly waved his hand to explain.

Chen Yansen didn't mind. After making a joke, he and Wang Chuanfu walked deeper into the Central Secretariat.

The core content of this symposium is easy to guess.

In fact, it was pretty much as Chen Yansen had expected.

Due to the emergence of the Deep Blue Battery, the subsidy standards for pure electric vehicles have been changed, and overall, the requirements for range have become higher.

This first subsidy policy may seem unrelated to DeepBlue Technology, but it is actually good news for DeepBlue Battery.

Because automakers want to receive substantial subsidies, they need to improve the range of their electric vehicles, and DeepBlue Technology is an unavoidable hurdle for them.

Wang Chuanfu belatedly realized why the higher-ups had invited Chen Yansen.

at the same time.

A passenger plane that took off from Taoyuan is flying towards Yanjing.
