Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 1906 Words from the Heart
"The current batch of chips produced are the newly developed NAND flash memory chips based on the 0.8 micron process. Its maximum storage capacity can reach 32Mb, but the current yield is not high enough, only about 65%..." Jiang Mingwei began Introduce to Ni Guangnan in detail the most high-end chip products of Tianyin Group.

"This is impossible..." After hearing Jiang Mingwei's introduction, Ni Guangnan couldn't help blurting out.

You know, at the 908 Project Conference three years ago, the Ministry of Machinery and Electronics Industry had just formulated a national-level plan for the development of 1-micron process chip technology. Ni Guangnan, who was a participant at the time, also helped the Ministry of Industry formulate relevant research and development feasibility plans , it's just that there was a lot of wind and rain about this matter, and it seemed to die down in the end.

The reason for this situation, according to Ni Guangnan’s thinking, is that the country does not have so much funds to support this plan. After all, the compradors’ thinking has been serious in recent years. , The country has indeed been heavily dependent on imports for self-produced chips, and related scientific research funds have been shrinking year by year, which eventually led to the end of the 908 project.

But what Ni Guangnan didn't expect was that Tianyin Group, as a private enterprise, has come to the forefront of scientific research work. Can't believe this fact.

"I think you should know that Shenzhen is the third microelectronics base in the country, and the core enterprise of this base is our Tianyin Group." Duan Yun glanced at Ni Guangnan, and then said: "Over the years, we have indeed obtained national Strong support, and our Tianyin Group has also paid a lot of financial resources, material resources and manpower for this. The funds invested in chip research and development in the past few years alone have reached more than one billion yuan. As of this year, the research and development costs It has reached [-] million, so in the case of tight scientific research opportunities in the country, we in Shenzhen can still maintain a very high research and development efficiency..."

"More than a billion? Did you really invest so much?" Ni Guangnan asked in surprise.

Ni Guangnan also knows that the chip industry is a very money-burning industry. When the 908 project was formulated, the country was planning to invest nearly 20 billion yuan, and Tianyin Group invested more than one billion yuan. It is not an exaggeration to say it.

It’s just that what really surprised Ni Guangnan was the amount of money Tianyin Group invested in R&D chips. You must know that Lenovo Group, which he is currently working for, is also known as one of the best technology companies in China, but the annual R&D investment is not enough. Even so, among these technology companies in BJ Zhongguancun, Lenovo is already the company that invests the most in research and development.

So much so that at this moment, Ni Guangnan deeply realized the huge gap between Tianyin Group and Lenovo Group.

"Technology R&D itself is a money-burning game. On the one hand, you must be willing to spend money, and on the other hand, you must have enough excellent talents to improve R&D efficiency. Only when these two aspects are in place, can you get the desired scientific research results. " Duan Yun smiled slightly, and continued: "Actually, Tianyin Group's business is very large now, with a profit of tens of billions of yuan every year, and the investment in new product technology research and development will only increase. There is still a shortage of top talents like you, Teacher Ni, to join, if you can get a talent like you, no matter how high the conditions are, you can negotiate..."

When Duan Yun said this, it was actually an invitation to Ni Guangnan to join, and Duan Yun also clearly stated that as long as he is willing to come to Tianyin Group, salary and treatment will definitely not be a problem.

"Is this an imported machine?" Ni Guangnan didn't answer Duan Yun's words directly, but turned his eyes to a machine that was working next to him and asked.

"That's right, this is ASML Optical Technology from the Netherlands. I imported it at a high price three years ago. It can complete the photolithography process for chips with a one-micron process..." Duan Yun said.

"You can buy a lithography machine with a one-micron process? How is this possible?" Ni Guangnan glanced at Duan Yun, and then said: "This is a high-tech equipment that is strictly blocked by foreign countries. If Wuxi Huajing had this kind of equipment back then If so, then we would have been able to produce chips with a 1-micron process..."

"You are right. These lithography machines are indeed high-tech equipment embargoed by foreign countries to China, but didn't our country also buy some embargoed equipment from abroad? Speaking of patriotism in Hong Kong There are indeed a lot of merchants, the price I gave is high enough, and they are willing to help, this kind of thing is not too difficult to say..." Duan Yun said with a smile.

"Eh." Hearing this, Ni Guangnan suddenly realized.

"Enterprises in capitalist countries have always been profit-seeking. As Marx said at the beginning, when the profit reaches 10%, some people are ready to move; when the profit reaches 50%, some people dare to take risks; when the profit reaches 100% , They dare to trample on all laws in the world; and when the profit reaches 300%, they are not even afraid of going to the gallows." Duan Yun smiled slightly, and then said: "The price I offered is higher than the 300% profit... ..."

"You private entrepreneurs are really eclectic in doing things." Ni Guangnan looked at Duan Yun's eyes at this time, obviously admiring him, and only heard him continue: "Now I can understand why you can take the sky The Music Group has developed so powerfully. Looking at your deeds before, I just thought that you were practical, capable and lucky. Now it seems that I think you are a little too simple..."

"Actually, I am a businessman at heart, and businessmen are all profit-seeking, and I am no exception." Duan Yun pondered for a while, and then said: "But I think you should also understand that I used to be a technical background, Therefore, I also have my own feelings for the research and development of high technology. Money is just a number to me now. I may not be able to spend that kind of money in a few lifetimes, so I also hope to make some contributions to this country and society. At least we can’t let foreigners look down on us Chinese, what they can do, we can also do, and I believe we will definitely do better than them!”

When Duan Yun said this, he was slightly agitated. His words were definitely from the bottom of his heart, and this was the first time he was so excited in front of outsiders.

Hearing Duan Yun's words, Ni Guangnan stared at Duan Yun's eyes for ten seconds, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth...
