Chapter 1368 The Originator of 996

On the 5th day after the celebration meeting, the project team members had finished their vacation and returned to the company happily. Duan Yun immediately called them up for a meeting to arrange the next stage of research and development tasks for them.

During the meeting, Duan Yun assigned the task of developing a flash memory chip based on one-micron process technology with a capacity of 2MB within one and a half years of the project, and Duan Yun increased the bonus this time. Duan Yun will reward the entire project team with 3 yuan for completing the task in one day, which is three times higher than the reward when developing the [-]-micron process NAND flash memory chip.

Duan Yun also has his intentions in setting up the reward amount in this way. The most important one is that once a research and development personnel leaves midway, in addition to facing the risk of breach of contract, the project bonus will not reach a penny, so this reward method It can not only stimulate the enthusiasm of employees, but also avoid the loss of personnel in the research and development stage.

According to Moore's Law, chip replacement takes one to two years as a cycle, but in fact, if major manufacturers at home and abroad are facing competitive pressure, they can complete the entire process from development to production in one and a half years. For the research and development team, there is no problem.

And Duan Yun wants to achieve cornering overtaking, which is actually very possible, because Chinese scientific and technological workers may not be as experienced as foreign R&D personnel, but in terms of work attitude, they need to be much better than foreign engineering personnel.

European and American countries have always strictly followed the 8-hour working system. Some scientific researchers even work less than 8 hours a day. They care more about the quality of life and enjoyment, while work is placed in a secondary position. Something can be seen from the working attitude of the ASML engineer who installed the lithography machine in Tianyin Group.

The R&D personnel of Tianyin Group, under the leadership of Huang Lingyi, Jiang Mingwei and other team leaders, work at least 10 hours a day. Under the stimulation of high bonuses and the severe environment of job competition, their The fighting spirit is very strong.

This is similar to the 996 work system of later generations. The working hours of Tianyin Group's technicians are even more cruel than 996, but this is not due to Duan Yun's work arrangement, but the spontaneous behavior of the entire R&D team in order to obtain high bonuses .

People are not afraid of hard work, but they are afraid of not being rewarded for their work.

Exchange your youth and time for money, in order to make yourself comfortable for the rest of your life. This has become a consensus in Tianyin Group's technology research and development center. Living in a big house, driving a car, marrying a beautiful wife, success and fame are the life of every young technician. At present, Tianyin Group is the only platform in Shenzhen and even the whole country that allows them to realize their dreams in life. Other companies, including foreign-funded enterprises, are far from the salary and treatment of Tianyin Group, let alone Talk about huge bonuses and such eye-catching super high rewards as free house and car.

Right now, the morale of the technicians in the Tianyin R&D Center is high, so although the task is difficult, everyone is working hard and preparing to invest in new R&D projects.

After setting up the work, Duan Yun privately gave Huang Lingyi another task, which was to ask him to write a product introduction and technical description about NAND flash memory chips, and prepare to submit it to top electronic technology magazines at home and abroad.

In this era without the Internet, professional academic journals are very important publicity media for any industry. Duan Yun needs to use these journals to promote chip products and establish their patent rights.

In fact, the patent application work related to NAND flash memory chips has already started. Duan Yun has applied for patents to the National Patent Office and related patent agencies in Hong Kong, Japan, the United States and major European countries at the same time. The next step is to pass professional patents. Periodicals to promote products and attract foreign businessmen to cooperate.

Influential multinational companies in the world can release new products through special product launches or participate in influential electronics factories around the world. Although Tianyin Electronics is well-known in China, it is only a little-known general in foreign countries. It’s just an enterprise, and it doesn’t have that much influence. Even if a product launch is held now, foreign manufacturers will not know about it. Therefore, publishing related articles in international journals is more likely to attract the attention of relevant foreign manufacturers.

Among the current professional electronic industry journals in China, "Electronic Process Technology" should be the most influential journal in the field of electronic industry.

"Electronic Process Technology" magazine is the only comprehensive scientific and technological periodical on the production technology of the electronics industry in my country. It was founded in 1980. The scope of the journal's coverage.

The content includes domestic and foreign electronic industry production technology dynamics, basic theoretical research and introduction of scientific and technological achievements, and urgently needed new technologies, new materials, new processes, new equipment, and introduction, digestion and absorption experience in scientific research and production.The content focuses on advanced and practical.

This kind of journal is bimonthly, and it is issued publicly at home and abroad. It is a comprehensive professional and authoritative journal that integrates technology and academics, and integrates advertising, business conditions, and industry information.The readership has covered the electronic industry and related majors, colleges and universities, research institutes and other units at home and abroad.

In addition to the domestic "Electronic Industry Technology", there are more foreign journals in this area.

"Byte" is a well-known electronics industry journal in the 80s. This publication was a best-selling IT industry in the 20s and 70s.

The content of the magazine is mainly authentic technology reviews and new product overviews, how to guide and Jerry Pournelle (Jerry Pournelle) column.Pornell writes about computers from the perspective of an intelligent user who wants to buy them.For many people, Byte is the perfect computer magazine.

In addition, there are journals such as "Global Science" and "Scientific American", which are also popular publications that attract the attention of people in the electronics industry. These are newspapers and periodicals that Duan Yun plans to contribute.

Considering that magazines are taboo about submitting multiple articles for one article, Duan Yun asked Huang Lingyi to write several versions of articles related to NAND flash memory chips according to the characteristics of these magazines, and submit them by cross-border mail.

In the age when communications were underdeveloped, it might take weeks or even months for Duan Yun to wait for the replies from these magazines, and when this kind of chip has not been publicized at foreign booths, for those who need to use this kind of chip to develop When a new product is launched, the computer USB flash drive is the first to bear the brunt.
