Return to Hong Kong Island for a Century

Chapter 421 Celebration (Second Update)

Huazhong Semiconductor Technology Company has a general manager named Wang Yuanchao and a deputy general manager named Li Hui, who was sent by Baisheng Company.

Then below are several ministers, responsible for production, research and development, logistics, finance, and so on.

Except for the R&D department, which has no staff from Baisheng Company, all other departments have deputies from Baisheng Company.

The heads of these departments are all from mainland China, and their deputies are sent by Parkson.

Wang Yuanchao and Li Hui, along with several department heads and deputy heads, greeted Li Song at the factory gate!

It is worth mentioning that Wang Yuanchao was parachuted in from a ministry.

This factory is at a very high level; it is directly managed by higher authorities.

The guards were all armed.

“Mr. Li!” Wang Yuanchao had only met Li Song once before, when they were signing a contract at the factory. When he saw Li Song’s car stop, he quickly came over and opened the car door.

"Manager Wang, you've worked hard!" Li Song shook hands warmly with the other party after getting out of the car.

"This is what we should do!" Wang Yuanchao also seemed somewhat excited.

Working at Huazhong Semiconductor Technology Company is much better than working in a ministry.

Of course, there are certain risks involved in joining this company.

This company can certainly achieve results, but it also carries risks.

Opportunities are equal for everyone.

As a key project, Huazhong Technology Company has received strong support in all aspects, especially in terms of funding.

Many companies in China are struggling because of funding issues, but this company has no shortage of funds.

"Boss!!" Li Hui shook hands with Li Song from behind Wang Yuanchao.

Li Hui is the vice president sent by Parkson Company, mainly responsible for supervision.

Wang Yuanchao was mainly responsible for managing everything.

"Thank you for your hard work!!" Li Song shook hands with the other person.

Then Li Song shook hands with the ministers and deputy ministers of other departments.

"Boss, would you like to go inside the factory and take a look?" Wang Yuanchao also sensed something was wrong, so he now addressed him as "boss."

"We won't go to the factory!"

"We'll have extra food tonight, using special funds. I'll just say a few words to the workers later!"

"The rest is up to you to report!"

"I personally don't know much about technology!"

"As long as we can produce a finished product, we can get results!"

"That's a good thing!" Li Song waved his hand!

Li Song knew that there were certain requirements for wafer production workshops.

Most semiconductor-related companies have requirements regarding temperature and cleanliness.

Then the group went to the conference room.

"Boss, we have started manufacturing test four-inch wafers."

"Equipment debugging is nearing completion!"

"If all goes well, mass production can begin by the end of next month!"

"We will strive to train enough technical personnel by the end of the year and build up the other five factories as well!" Wang Yuanchao reported first.

Wang Yuanchao knew that Li Song disliked meetings, so he didn't use those platitudes.

The higher authorities have planned six four-inch wafer fabrication plants in the country.

"Ok!"

"Once mass production is successful, everyone will receive their due rewards in full." Li Song gave the company a performance bonus of 20 million yuan.

At that time, the average worker in China earned only a few dozen yuan a month.

A performance bonus of 20 million is already quite substantial.

The 20 million yuan performance bonus is to be completed before the end of this year.

However, Li Song's company has a special ratio for the distribution of bonuses.

What percentage of performance bonuses are awarded to senior executives, middle managers, and then ordinary workers?

This prevents some companies from saying they'll give out 100 million in bonuses, but then executives only get 99.9 million and 10,000 ordinary workers only get 100,000, which is just 10 yuan per person.

What Li Song needs now is to produce finished products as soon as possible. If the chip is available a month earlier, he can design mobile phones, computers, and CNC machine tool computers based on the chip's performance.

Of course, there is a certain technological gap between industrial chips and consumer chips.

There are also chips for aerospace applications, which have special processes and requirements.

But no matter what kind of chip it is, the first thing you need is a wafer.

"Thank you, boss." The executives at the meeting were all very happy because it was a large bonus.

Although executives make up a small percentage of performance bonuses, there are also few executives.

Li Song nodded, and then listened to some other work reports.

Li Song usually didn't manage these joint ventures because they were overseen by the Hong Kong headquarters.

Furthermore, the various systems and regulations are very comprehensive.

Li Song held a half-hour meeting at Huazhong Semiconductor Company, and then looked around.

They didn't go directly to the workshop, but stayed in the warehouse, canteen, and dormitory.

During Li Song's inspection of Huazhong Technology Company, he was in a private luxury villa in New York.

A huge party is being held here.

Everyone present was smug.

This is a small charity cocktail party hosted by a politician.

The guests were all celebrities from the political and business circles, specifically Boeing shareholders and executives, as well as political figures with good relations with Boeing.

"For our victory today!"

"Cheers!!" Although it was already past 11 p.m., it was actually 11 a.m. in the east.

But the people inside the villa were very happy because the House of Representatives had passed new safety standards for aircraft.

Boeing spent tens of millions of dollars to achieve its current success.

Boeing's shareholders and executives are very excited.

This is contingent on the proposal being passed by the Senate.

This means that Chang'an Aircraft Manufacturing Company's CA201 has absolutely no chance of entering Aramco's market.

They also cannot enter America's airspace.

This means that the market for this aircraft is limited!
Because the market for civil aircraft is mainly in the West.

This also restricted Airbus and suppressed Rolls-Royce.

This means that Airbus aircraft will have to use General Electric or Pratt & Whitney engines in the future.

Using Rolls-Royce engines would not even be permitted to enter Aramco's airspace.

"Cheers!" Those present included not only Boeing employees but also employees from General Motors and Pratt & Whitney!

Because General Motors and Pratt & Whitney are the largest suppliers of aircraft engines.

"Ladies and gentlemen!"

"Thank you for your support!" Boeing's president raised his glass and said loudly.

The others present also raised their glasses.

The atmosphere at the party was very lively because everyone had a stake in the matter.

Another important reason for this reception was to lobby these senators.

On the second floor of the villa, several Boeing shareholders were talking with several senators.

"I'm counting on you all for this!" a Boeing shareholder said with a smile.

"The Senate will not vote on this matter for the time being."

“We’ll have to wait a while longer!” a senator said, holding a wine glass.

"Why?" a Boeing shareholder asked.

"We need to see how the Eastern countries react!"

"In addition, we have received an invitation to participate in the Fat Bear military exercise in September."

“According to intelligence from relevant departments, the military exercise conducted by the US military this time is quite large!” a senator said.

"Could some Eastern countries introduce retaliatory measures?"

"Haha!!" After the Boeing shareholder said this, the other shareholders laughed heartily, and none of them showed any disdain, because America is now one of the two poles of the world.
