Reinventing the Millennium.

Chapter 319 You Don't Like Semiconductors
Returning from Beijing to apply, Fang Zhuo was not idle at all. He held meetings, listened to reports, confirmed the itinerary, and made several phone calls to his home in the evening.

He has been busy working on Sina in the capital recently, concentrating on company affairs and opponents' reactions, including his younger sister who failed to come back after being admitted to Jiaotong University.

Fortunately...the family is quite used to this kind of busyness.

As for the acquisition of Sina, a major media event, according to her mother Zhao Shumei, this is much better than previous media reports about the president of Guahao.com or bankruptcy and jumping off a building.

Fang Zhuo was very pleased.

That night, he went home and talked on the phone for a long time. His mother murmured him to think about the major issues in his life, and he was also murmured by his mother to retire and come to Hao Daer's side.

The next day, Fang Zhuo, who was full of energy, arrived at Jiaotong University at nine o'clock in the morning.

Xu Keden was already waiting.

"Mr. Fang, is this the only one? Are you going to wear this?"

"Can't you? Do you have to have a suit and leather shoes?" Fang Zhuo wore a T-shirt today. He really wore too many suits in the past two months.

Xu Kedeng pondered for a second, then nodded and said, "It's fine, the bottom line is lowered step by step, and the school is willing to agree to name your scholarship."

"I'm fitting in with the student group, that's how I shape my image," Fang Zhuo retorted.

"What Mr. Fang said is that I agree with Mr. Fang unconditionally today, as long as you pay our school." Xu Keden is no longer a lecturer at Jiaotong University, but today he still habitually puts his position here.

The time set by the school is 09:30, and the other executives from Yike's side have not arrived yet.

Fang Zhuo and Xu Kedeng strolled around the campus, listening to the latter explaining the establishment of the scholarship, the arrangement in the school and the pursuit of related subjects.

Originally, even if it was a scholarship, the school did not agree with such a playful name as "I see who doesn't like semiconductors". It was a very enlightened agreement from the director of a returnee doctor who established an important project of Jiaotong University, so it can be decided.

"Actually, our Yike is a serious unit, so there is no need to embarrass the school so much. In the product department, there are quite a few graduates from Jiaotong University, all of whom are from our own." Fang Zhuo said so calmly.

"No." Xu Kedeng flatly refused, "When things come to an end, the school's procedures and documents have all been passed. Isn't this causing trouble for everyone?"

Fang Zhuo sighed: "I intend to let you read on stage."

Xu Keden sighed: "There is no way, the school asks you to come forward, such a reasonable request cannot be refused."

The two looked at each other, and the product director's eyes were full of determination. He was a lecturer at Jiaotong University at his age, so he really couldn't keep up with the trend.

"elder brother!"

A distant voice interrupted the eye contact between the two, and Zhao Suqi, who was already a freshman in the Finance Department of Jiaotong University, walked quickly.

"Hey, yes, it's different after going to college. I think you've grown so tall?" Fang Zhuo smiled instantly, and took out a bank card from his pocket.

"Maybe knowledge made me grow taller?" Zhao Suqi joked, "What is this? My living expenses, stock trading expenses?"

"It's up to you, don't treat yourself badly at school." Fang Zhuo turned his head to signal Xu Keden to leave room for his brother and sister to talk.

"Brother, I have already lost [-] US dollars." Zhao Suqi reported the results calmly as much as possible, which was what his brother asked him to practice before.

Fang Zhuo nodded: "It's okay, the U.S. stock market is not booming right now, let's talk about it after the losses."

He didn't want to talk about these things today, he just cared about his sister's situation at school, including accommodation, making friends, and health.

The two chatted for a while, and seeing that the appointed time was approaching, Zhao Suqi followed him after he had no class in the morning, preparing to see the nonsensical scholarship from his brother.

However, she didn't follow to meet the leader, and directly entered the multimedia classroom like ordinary students.

The meeting process between Yike and the leaders of Jiaotong University is relatively official. Fang Zhuo expressed his concern and gratitude to Jiaotong University. After all, the release of M1 is inseparable from the teachers and students of Jiaotong University. They have created a value far greater than wages and bonuses.

The leaders also thanked Yike for the scholarship and said that they would select award-winning students openly and transparently.

100 million a year, this year set ten students [-], the purpose is to encourage students' interest and reward their efforts and achievements.

Fang Zhuo plans to look at the stock price of Sina this year, and if it rises, he will consider setting up another scholarship for poor students.

That is not just in one school of Jiaotong University, but in a wider range.

The greetings between Fang Zhuo and the leaders ended soon, and then he was accompanied to the multimedia teaching room, where he gave a speech on setting up scholarships and awarded them to the first-year students.

It is worth mentioning that the words "Semiconductor Scholarship" are written on the posters outside the multimedia classroom, but the real name of the scholarship is relatively inconspicuous.

At [-]:[-] in the morning, Fang Zhuo stood on the stage, facing many students related to semiconductors in Jiaotong University.

"Hi everyone, I'm Fang Zhuo from Yike."

"Some students may know me, and some don't. Our Yike products are music players M1 and J1, and the current market share is good."

"Some students want to ask, how come a company that sounds irrelevant came to the school to set up a scholarship for semiconductors."

"Actually, one of the most important parts in our products is a micro-drive, which is purchased from Toshiba in Japan."

"This micro hard drive is a technological breakthrough. When we purchased it, the manufacturer didn't know how to use it, but after only a few months, we all agreed on its market prospect."

"The music player of the micro hard drive became popular all of a sudden. Of course, there are other reasons for this, but the technological breakthrough on the hard drive is the key."

"You all have learned relevant knowledge. You must know that the semiconductor competition between the United States and Japan once occurred. It was a competition for national destiny and a high-tech competition."

"There is no doubt that our country's semiconductor industry is backward and needs to catch up. It requires you and the students behind you to work hard together."

"We at Yike don't know much about this, so we can only spend some meager funds to encourage everyone, hoping to have better technology, more efforts, and earlier catch-up in the future."

Fang Zhuo delivered a sincere speech, and talked about the problems encountered in the enterprise, including Yike once sent a team to Toshiba to seek the transfer of old technology but was rejected.

Now, both the Kunshan and Yuzhou factories can only produce low-end content in the industrial chain, earning hard money, and the bulk is still taken away by parts manufacturers.

"Our Yike will not be the first company to encounter the profit problem of the industrial chain, nor will it be the last company."

"Only when our own technology can catch up with the international level, can the relevant enterprises have stronger competitiveness."

"Semiconductors are difficult, and it is also difficult to catch up."

"When I was talking about this in the company yesterday, one of the deputy directors gave a very pessimistic judgment, saying that this catch-up will take a long time, and the hope of success is very low."

"I asked him, how long is it? Is five years enough?"

"He said it wasn't enough."

"I asked again, is ten years enough?"

"He hesitated and said that it might not be enough."

"Let me ask again, is 15 years enough?"

"He was silent for a long time before saying, it's possible."

"I smiled and said, 15 years is enough, it's not too long, I thought I wouldn't see it in my lifetime."

"Students, I don't know if this judgment is accurate, but I want to say that Yi Ke is willing to witness your pursuit and struggle with a little effort."

"If there is anything else I can do during this period, please tell me."

"I'd like to do it."

Fang Zhuo bowed to the quiet multimedia classroom, received warm applause and began the text.

"Next, I announce that this year's 'I see who doesn't like semiconductors' scholarship is Jiang Haiming from the School of Microelectronics."

"The second winner of 'I see who doesn't like semiconductors' is Mengguan Liu from the School of Microelectronics."

Fang Zhuo read ten names in one breath.

The solemn classroom atmosphere because of the speech became stunned, relaxed, and could not help laughing with the sound of "I see who doesn't like semiconductors"...

When the last person came on stage, he was not greeted with applause but full of laughter.

The school leader next to him wiped his sweat, feeling that the sponsor from the enterprise was not respected, and considered whether to come forward to maintain order.

"I'll come back next year. I'd like to see who among you doesn't like semiconductors." Fang Zhuo didn't feel embarrassed when he took the stage. Instead, he liked the atmosphere and said something with the microphone.

Another burst of laughter.

Fang Zhuo stepped off the stage amidst laughter, and handed over the time to the leader.

"Mr. Fang, this is Director Chen Jin and Chen of the Chip and System Research Center of Jiaotong University." Xu Kedeng was satisfied to hear the laughter of the students, saw the boss come over, and introduced him to the leader who hadn't had time to meet in class before.

Fang Zhuo remembered that Director Xu said earlier that it was the director who decided on the name because of his enlightenment, and he shook hands quickly: "Hello, Director Chen, Hello, Director Chen."

"President Fang, you're welcome, we have to thank you for your support." Chen Jin was very cheerful and looked very young.

Fang Zhuo exchanged pleasantries for a while, listened to the director's introduction, and had a good impression of him, so he asked about the key projects Director Xu had mentioned.

Director Chen Jin introduced his project with a smile: "What I am doing now is a self-developed chip project called Hanxin. It is estimated that there will be results next year."

Fang Zhuo nodded in admiration, and suddenly felt familiar.

After a while, his expression froze a little bit.

Hanxin?Hanxin? ?That fake Chinese core? ? ?
Fang Zhuo stared blankly at the young returnee director in front of him, and vaguely remembered the news about the name "Chen Jin".

Just you, that's you?
Did Hanxin happen at Jiaotong University?

Fang Zhuo's good mood for setting up the scholarship was all gone.

And who doesn't like semiconductors?who else?Who else can I see?

I see that you, the director, don't like semiconductors!
