Reinventing the Millennium.

Chapter 381 The Last Condition

Yangcheng, one of the most economically developed cities in China, is willing to invest 13 billion.

This is the result of several days of discussions led by Fang Zhuo and the project team.

Measured by this dimension, it may be difficult for other cities in China to offer higher prices. Shencheng already has SMIC, and the atmosphere in Beijing is difficult to grasp and SMIC has also planned a 12-inch production line there.

As for Pengcheng, this is the first city to be investigated in the second round of the project, but regardless of the development of the city itself, the conditions it can offer may not be better than Yangcheng.

Luzhou, Anhui Province is willing to fully match Yangcheng's bid, and is willing to pool the power of the province and city to leave the fab project, and is willing to cooperate and support from all aspects.

This made Fang Zhuo feel a great tendency.

His heart has always been soft and hard. He was reluctant to consider the first hometown because he didn't think it could provide the resources and conditions suitable for the "Ice Drink Project". Now that Luzhou has given the basic conditions and has a sincere attitude, then It is not impossible to bundle development.

Simplify complicated things first. Fabs need money, equipment, and talents.

Money, there is a start-up capital to make this project work, and more money can be obtained later.

Equipment, most of which are purchased from abroad, need more flexible and diverse processing.

Talent, Luzhou is a bit weak, and the University of Science and Technology of China's microelectronics is not strong, but this university is still famous internationally, and it may be able to exert some different energy.

On the second day after Fang Zhuo expressed his wishes at the discussion meeting, the entire project team formally negotiated with Luzhou as usual and implemented many specific preferential policies.

Needless to say, Luzhou will give everything that can be given, and implement what can be implemented, and some will provide convenience even if it is not implemented in writing.

As for the project team, having experienced negotiations in Lin'an and Yangcheng, they are familiar with the road, kept rationality and restraint, and actively explored the space for cooperation between the two parties.

Generally speaking, the negotiations between the two sides have progressed smoothly.

Although Fang Zhuo hadn't formally finally let go, the leaders of the provinces and cities involved in the negotiations felt that he meant to cooperate together.

In the afternoon, Wang Shushan, the provincial leader who was very concerned about this project, showed up again. He had listened to the relevant reports, and with sincere joy on his face, he expressed his position again.

"Mr. Fang, if you have any questions or needs, just say so, and we will fully cooperate."

Fang Zhuozhen made a request: "Leader, I have one condition at the end. Everyone will work hard on this condition. If there is a prospect, our project will be settled in Luzhou immediately, and the next step is to promote other work."

Wang Shushan was serious immediately: "Say it."

"Leader, let's go out and talk." Fang Zhuo went straight at this time, ignoring the city leaders at the meeting, and wanted to chat alone.

Wang Shushan agreed.

The president and the leader went to the small conference room next door.

"Leader, fab projects need talents, not only engineers, but also leaders." Fang Zhuo went straight to the point, "I want USTC to help me find someone."

Wang Shushan was curious, who would make Mr. Fang spend so much time on such an occasion.

He waited for the next article.

"The microelectronics of the University of Science and Technology of China is not strong enough, and the output in this area is engineers, but just like Zhang Rujing is to SMIC, his leading experts are even more lacking in our project." Fang Zhuo said, "We have already found Headhunters are poaching engineers everywhere."

"Now, there is a TSMC technical expert named Hu Zhengming. The news I received is that he plans to leave TSMC and return to the University of California, Berkeley to teach."

"I want the University of Science and Technology of China to give it a try. Can you invite this expert to work at the University of Science and Technology? No matter what the name is, visiting professor, invited visit, honorary dean, anyway, it doesn't matter if it's one year or two years, it's great if you can come. .”

"It is very important to have such contact, whether it is the directional training of HKUST students, or the invitation to work in a fab."

Fang Zhuo used the word "full effort", which is also the statement he heard from Anhui Province and Luzhou in the past two days.

Regarding Hu Zhengming, he became an academician of the US National Academy of Engineering in 97. It would be difficult to persuade him to participate in his own project on his own.

This requires full support from the leadership.

Serve the motherland?National honor?Foreign academician?HKUST’s international contacts?Exchanges in academic research?

This is very difficult for Fang Zhuo to use, but the leader and the University of Science and Technology can unleash the "full power".

Wang Shushan nodded slightly and asked, "Is this person so important?"

"It's very important." Fang Zhuo continued to speak bluntly, "He is also the doctoral supervisor of Liang Mengsong, another general of TSMC. We also have some ideas about Liang Mengsong. If Hu Zhengming can come, if we have the opportunity to communicate with Liang Mengsong in the future, we can talk better."

If I remember correctly, Liang Mengsong also taught at Sungkyunkwan University in South Korea before he jumped from TSMC to Samsung. He was waiting for the expiration of the non-compete agreement with TSMC, but the students he taught were all Samsung engineers. Technology leaks.

Fang Zhuo actually has no impression of Hu Zhengming, but he not only values ​​his relationship with Liang Mengsong, but also agrees with his ability after more research on his resume.

Hu Zhengming also played a big role in TSMC's defeat of IBM this year.

"Mr. Fang's desire for talents is the same as our desire for projects." Wang Shushan joked, "This is a good thing for HKUST. I will go to the school to work."

Fang Zhuo emphasized: "Leadership is full strength."

Wang Shushan couldn't help laughing: "It must be full effort. This is the first clear request made by Mr. Fang to us. I can't express my full strength just now and not fulfill it in the next second."

He paused, and then said: "It's just that whether someone comes or not depends on one's own wishes. He really doesn't want to come, so we can't tie him up."

"It's natural." Fang Zhuo said very understandingly, "The leader is willing to try, and the University of Science and Technology is willing to try. I can only be grateful here. If Hu Zhengming has any material requirements, I can meet them here."

Wang Shushan murmured, this party's desire to go all out is indeed a bit like Luzhou's attitude towards the fab project.

He thought for a while and asked, "Is this the last condition of Mr. Fang? Is there any more?"

Fang Zhuo shook his head and made an accurate statement: "Not for the time being."

"Then when we work hard to contact Hu Zhengming, can our Luzhou get the favor of the 'Ice Drink Project'?" Wang Shushan said gently.

Fang Zhuo took the initiative to stretch out his right hand: "No, the leader just agreed to me. This is the last condition for my approach, and it is also the first request after we started cooperation."

"I believe in the full commitment of the leaders, and I will now fully promote the establishment of the fab in Luzhou. I hope this will be a pleasant cooperation."

Wang Shushan showed a smile on his face, shook hands, and said only four words:

"Pleasant to work with."
