1980s: He was picked up and brought home as a son-in-law

Zhou Feng was completely confused by this question and didn't know what he meant. He was stopped by Gu Jun because he thought he wanted to talk to him about chip licensing.

Zhou Feng was not joking when he proposed to license domestic and foreign companies at the meeting. He had the idea of testing the waters when he took out the chip circuit diagram at Huaqing.

At this point in time, there is no soil for the growth of individual enterprises in China. Reselling or manufacturing need to rely on collective enterprises to survive.

However, software development such as chip design is still a new industry. Zhou Feng doesn't know where the country's line is for individuals to profit from this. It is definitely unrealistic to do it secretly, and it will be very difficult without policy support. Although he has many choices, if he can engage in this industry openly from now on, he will undoubtedly avoid many detours.

Zhou Feng said those words before just to get a clear path from the official side, but when he heard what Gu Jun said, it seemed that Gu Jun seemed to have a plan in mind.

"Minister Gu, how do you touch the stone you mentioned, and how do you cross the river?"

Gu Jun was amused by Zhou Feng's question and laughed. He thought to himself that this guy was really smart and had obviously planned it before. This was better. Dealing with smart people was more efficient.

"Before I answer your question, please answer a few questions for me first."

"You say"

"In addition to the chip we looked at this morning, do you have any other chip designs?"

Zhou Feng was stunned and immediately understood that this was to test his bottom line and judge his potential. Anyone who is not stupid should know how to answer.

"Minister Gu, I have only designed this chip now."

Seeing Gu Jun's disappointment, Zhou Feng continued with a smile:

"But I have already conceived the architecture of several chips, and I can start designing them at any time if there is demand and the conditions are right."

Gu Jun smiled and nodded at Zhou Feng, seeing clearly his little thoughts.

"You kid...I heard that you and the commune have set up an antenna factory, and the integrated circuit production line will soon be settled in Andong. Can you share your subsequent plans?"

Zhou Feng was silent for a moment. He has been thinking about this question recently. Originally, in his consideration, the most important thing before 1984 was to make money and accumulate enough capital.

As for the plans for integrated circuits, they are all concentrated after 1984, and he must hold on to several key nodes.

The development of integrated circuits is different from that of other industries. Even if you understand the technical key and future development direction, many basic capabilities in the country cannot be configured.

Take the most expensive lithography machine in the wafer factory as an example. Eighty percent of the latest distributed lithography machines designed by Huaqing University are imported from abroad. Even if the performance is not bad compared with the equipment in the island country and the United States, it is not competitive because the cost is too high.

And there are tens of thousands of technical barriers that need to be overcome for a lithography machine. The most important lenses, None of the light sources and distributed workbenches can be produced in our country at present.

But now that the island country's integrated circuit production line has settled in Anton, everything has changed. What's more, the most important thing is that Zhou Feng has met Gu Jun in this life, which is a level he could not reach in his previous life.

Even though his soul has traveled through time and space, Zhou Feng does not think that he will be unknown, but he still thinks that he is just a drop of water in the ocean, which is too small compared to his ambition.

But with this opportunity, Zhou Feng feels that he can become the butterfly that flaps its wings, although it is difficult to completely change the future direction of domestic semiconductors.

But, what if?

When he thought of this, his heart was pounding as if it was going to jump out of his chest, and he couldn't suppress it!

Zhou Feng did not answer Gu Jun's idea, but asked back:

"Minister Gu, do you think the semiconductor industry is promising?"

Gu Jun was startled by the question, then smiled and said:

"If I don't think this industry is promising, do you think we would still be sitting here?"

Zhou Feng shook his head and smiled bitterly:

"Of course I know this. If you are just optimistic, then I have a good plan. But if you are more optimistic than optimistic, then I have a very good plan."

"Hahaha, kid, I've postponed all other plans this afternoon, so tell me about the plan you're interested in."

Zhou Feng smiled shyly,"Director Gu, I design chips not just for the sake of designing chips, but for the sake of the chip aftermarket."

"Oh? Can you tell me more?"

"Chips are an industry that requires huge initial investment. Take the production line we just introduced from the island country as an example. The three-inch wafer factory cost us 300 million US dollars. From production to stable large-scale production, and then to supporting the domestic TV industry, it is basically impossible to achieve profitability without more than ten years."

"Of course, profit is not the main reason for our introduction, but without profit, the technology cannot be advanced quickly. When we have mastered the technology of this production line, the technology will be upgraded again."

"So I think the angle of entry is wrong. What I need to do is to start from the product. Chip design is just a supporting part. Through the profit of the product, I can achieve product upgrade, and then feed back the new demand for chips from the product upgrade, and then rely on the profit to promote the industrial upgrade of the chip."

"To put it bluntly, it is to promote R&D design from a purely commercial perspective and drive chip iteration from demand."

"Although it’s a roundabout way, it’s easier to form an industrial effect and more sustainable."

Gu Jun was a little confused by Zhou Feng’s words. He thought carefully for a long time before saying:

"If we have understood you wrongly, it is equivalent to you wanting to set up a TV factory, designing a chip for TVs, and then wanting to upgrade the product through the profits from the TVs, and then feed back to the chip upgrades, is that what you mean?"

Zhou Feng smiled and nodded. Gu

Jun was even more puzzled, and asked suspiciously:"Then what is the difference between you and the current domestic TV factories? We are now introducing bipolar circuit board production lines because we want to vigorously develop the color TV industry. Aren't you going around in circles?"

Zhou Feng shook his head and smiled:"Director Gu, what you said is a hypothesis. I am not a TV factory. The technology and production lines of the TV itself are introduced from abroad. The time line for you to achieve capital accumulation through TVs is too long. Ten years is considered fast for you, and fifteen years is the minimum."

"Do you mean designing a new product to compete with other countries?"

"After winning, will we use the money earned to promote the development of the semiconductor industry?"

Zhou Feng smiled and nodded.

Gu Jun shook his head, secretly sighing that he was still naive. Everyone has ideas. He also wants to design a product in China, just like the current TV sets, to reap capital crazily.

But imagination is always imagination. Products are not so easy to design, and it is even more unrealistic to complete the harvest in the siege of so many foreign companies.

At this point, he actually wanted to leave, and he didn't even want to talk about the plan he had prepared before. He felt that he had lost his mind before, pinning his hopes on such a dreamer.

"You can now tell me about your very promising plan."
