Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 1458 Entrusted with an important task
According to the salary provided by Duan Yun to Liang Mengsong, it is obviously much higher than that of Hu Zhengming, because according to the current development of Tianyi Group, this year's annual profit is likely to exceed 10 billion, and Liang Mengsong can at least receive an incentive dividend of more than 70 US dollars. It has already exceeded Hu Zhengming's annual salary of US$100 million. In order to avoid the psychological imbalance of some members of the company, Duan Yun will ask the employees of the US R&D center to keep their salaries confidential this time.

In fact, Duan Yun's approach is also a common approach of many large companies in later generations. As the old Chinese saying goes, people do not suffer from poverty and injustice. Du Wanyun's approach can effectively relieve a lot of management pressure.

Liang Mengsong originally planned to stay in Shenzhen for three days. After signing the employment contract, he would go to the US R&D center to work. However, in the end, he stayed here for a week, discussing some company development and technical issues with Duan Yun every day.

Although he has learned from his instructor that Duan Yun knows some microelectronics technology, the longer he communicates with Duan Yun, the more Liang Mengsong feels that Duan Yun is not simple. For himself, and he also has a very mature view on the current development of the world's semiconductor industry, which makes it difficult for Liang Mengsong to imagine that Duan Yun is just the owner of a private enterprise in mainland China. His knowledge and vision are completely inconsistent with his age and identity. Not inferior to those top leaders of American technology giants.

What surprised Liang Mengsong even more was Duan Yun's layout for the Internet era.

Tianyin Group's family background is much thicker than Liang Mengsong imagined. In addition to a three-micron production line in the joint venture factory, Duan Yun also showed him that Tianyin Semiconductor Company, which was established later, has two other chip production lines, using both The most advanced one-micron process technology in the world, except for ASML lithography machine, the rest of the parts are all replaced by domestic semiconductor equipment. It already has the production capacity of 10 chips per day. This technical strength and production capacity It is quite astonishing. Although there is a huge gap in production capacity with Texas Instruments in the United States and Japanese chip giants, the gap is not that big in terms of technology, because the current 0.5 micron chip production line is still under development, so Tianyin Group now has the ability to produce the world's most advanced chips as an OEM.

Another thing that makes Liang Mengsong very excited is the new generation of NAND flash memory chips currently being developed by Tianyin Group, and this storage chip is Liang Mengsong's specialty. When he was at AMD, he was in charge of AMD storage. Research and development, and is one of the leaders of this project.

When Liang Mengsong left AMD, AMD's flash memory had not yet been mass-produced, and the development had made some progress. At that time, he participated in the invention of 182 semiconductor patent technologies in MD, all of which were the most advanced and important key basic technology research. , with 350 international technical papers published under his signature, it can be said that Liang Mengsong is a very prolific semiconductor engineer.

As early as two years ago, Liang Mengsong accepted the request of Taiwan Semiconductor Company, hoping that he could return to Taiwan to work and support the semiconductor industry in Taiwan.

However, at this time, Taiwan Semiconductor was still at the bottom of the chip industry. Most companies were engaged in the packaging and testing of some chips. TSMC was established in 1987. At the beginning of its establishment, the company’s technical level was not high. There are only a few chip production lines made of [-] microns, which produce some low-end chip products.

At that time, TSMC paid Liang Mengsong a salary of US$20 per year, which was higher than when he was at AMD. He is tempted.

So joining Duan Yun's R&D center in Silicon Valley, Liang Mengsong also got the support of his family. After all, his salary is more than four times that of his current job, and he doesn't have to leave the United States. His family naturally supports him to work in Silicon Valley.

Liang Mengsong is very interested in NAND flash memory chips. During the past few days in Shenzhen, he had some in-depth exchanges with Huang Lingyi, the head of the chip project team, and learned about the current research and development progress of the company's new generation of flash memory chips. It can be said that it is like a treasure. .

Seeing that Liang Mengsong is very interested in his company's memory chip technology, Duan Yun is also very happy, because he has established a research and development center in the United States this time. One of the projects is the research and development of a new generation of memory chips and the development of storage chips based on NAND flash memory chips. Larger capacity, brand new solid-state hard drive, with Liang Mengsong joining, the success rate of this project will be much higher, which also makes Duan Yun look forward to it very much.

In addition, these days, Duan Yun also had a long conversation with Liang Mengsong. The R&D center in Silicon Valley is very important to Duan Yun's future layout. As the project leader of the US R&D center, Duan Yun has high hopes for Liang Mengsong. The two will be thousands of miles apart in the future, and it is impossible to see each other often, so it is also very important for the two to develop feelings and trust.

After finishing the trip in Shenzhen, Duan Yun personally drove Liang Mengsong, who was about to return to the United States, to Guangzhou Airport. Duan Yun finally left when the plane was about to take off.

Although Liang Mengsong was given full responsibility for the US R&D center and gave him a high degree of freedom, Duan Yun still made demands on him. Duan Yun asked Liang Mengsong to report to him every other week, including company personnel. Duan Yun can also communicate remotely through transoceanic telephones and faxes regarding employment, expenses, and R&D progress to maintain smooth communication between the two places.

After the US R&D center was established, Duan Yun immediately began to ask Hu Zhengming to organize a European R&D center.

Due to the tense situation this year, Duan Yun must make various preparations.

Based on the idea that eggs cannot be put in one basket, the US R&D center has talents like Liang Mengsong and Hu Zhengming who seem to be very powerful, but they may become the target of sanctions, so Duan Yun wants to speed up the plan to set up a R&D center in Europe... …
