Counterattack 1988

Chapter 1753 A special invitation!
After going to work that day, Deng Dabao walked into Wang Lin's office with a smile.

"Mr. Deng, what's the matter?" Wang Lin put down his work and said with a smile, "Is there a happy event at home? You are smiling so happily!"

Deng Dabao laughed and said: "This matter makes me happier than my son's marriage!"

Wang Lin said: "Oh? What's the matter?"

Deng Dabao laughed before saying anything: "Director Wang, have you heard that? After Ma Hongcai joined the Maohua Group, he didn't become the CFO."

Wang Lin was surprised and said: "Really? Impossible? Zheng Maohua signed an agreement with him and promised it! Can there be any changes?"

Deng Dabao sneered and said: "Zheng Maohua and his son are both capricious villains! I have already seen this. They deliberately promised Ma Hongcai a high position and tricked him to go there."

Wang Lin asked: "Can this kind of thing be done? Can Ma Hong agree?"

Deng Dabao said: "So what if he doesn't agree? He has already left our company and can only stay in Maohua Group! Even if he wants to change jobs, it will not be so fast! Besides, other companies can give him such A good annual salary? He doesn’t dare to sue his own company, he has good fruit to eat? Not to mention losing his job, he will be looked down upon by others. He may not win the lawsuit!”

Wang Lindao: "Who became the CFO of Maohua Group?"

Deng Dabao said: "It's a woman, I heard it's Zheng Maohua's cousin, a divorced aunt in her 40s with two children!"

Wang Lin shook his head speechlessly.

Deng Dabao patted his thigh and said with a smile: "This time, isn't Ma Hong at a loss? He thought he had climbed a high branch, but who knew that Zheng Maohua would put him in the same place! He could only swallow his anger and stay in the Maohua Group. "

Wang Lindao: "I really didn't expect Zheng Maohua to be this kind of person. I used to think highly of him. He is untrustworthy, so I don't know what to do!"

Deng Dabao said: "The Maohua Group has only this kind of structure. I also heard that the villa they promised to Ma Hongcai has not been fulfilled, saying that the villa is still under construction, and temporarily arranged for him a three-bedroom apartment. With Zheng Maohua's urgency, I guess that the villa will not be realized in three to five years."

Wang Lindao: "Hehe, cut everything? What about the salary?"

Deng Dabao said: "The salary has not been reduced, but the dividends are not comparable to our company! How much is their market value? Now it has fallen to 180 billion! With the proportion of dry stocks held by Ma Hongcai, how much dividends can he get? Anyway, I will give him After a calculation, he will lose money no matter what he quits!"

Wang Lindao: "I persuaded him, but he must leave. There is no other way. Mr. Deng, the construction of the Aixiu Technology Factory in Shencheng is about to be completed. I would like to formally invite Mr. Grove from Intel to visit Inspection, we negotiated with him last year, and he said he was willing to come and have a look.”

Deng Dabao said: "Is this reliable? We have invested so much money to build chips and wafer processing plants. What if the Yige murlocs don't give us OEM orders? Then what should we do?"

Wang Lindao: "Even if there is only one ten-thousandth hope, we must do our best."

Deng Dabao said: "However, these factories have invested heavily. If we can't get orders, what else can these factories be used for?"

Wang Lindao: "It's dark in the east and bright in the west. Intel doesn't like us. We can find other companies to manufacture."

Deng Dabao said: "Then try it!"

Wang Lindao: "You and Chen Fan are responsible for this matter. You contact Mr. Grove's secretary to finalize his visit itinerary, so that we can start preparing for his arrival."

Deng Dabao said: "When is the best time to visit?"

Wang Lindao: "He needs to apply for a visa. When it is done, it will be at least August, and our side is almost ready. Just come on his time. The sooner the better."

Deng Dabao nodded to express his understanding.

In April, Wang Lin went to Shencheng Aishiu Technology to supervise the construction period there.

Aixiu Technology built the first phase of wafer processing plant.

At that time, semiconductor companies all over the world had the same business model. Intel, Samsung and other giants design their own chips, produce them in their own fabs, and complete chip testing and packaging by themselves-all-round and unrivaled.

But we Chinese have found another way and created a foundry model in the semiconductor industry.This was an unimaginable thing at the time, because there was no independent semiconductor design company at that time.

Just like what Wang Lin said to Grove: Aixiu Technology Company does not produce its own products, but only manufactures products for semiconductor design companies.

By doing this, Wang Lin made it clear that he wanted to compete with TSMC for orders and compete with each other.

Can Aishiu Technology come from behind?
Wang Lin also had no confidence in his heart.

But he knows that everything he has done needs someone to complete it.

If you don't do it today, you will be late later.

Looking at the global chip industry chain, in addition to materials, equipment, EDA software and markets, other important chains are roughly divided into: chip design, wafer production or chip manufacturing, packaging and testing (packaging and testing).

In the global chip industry chain, Toyo provides materials, Europe is responsible for the production of equipment such as lithography machines, and EDA software comes from the United States.

What does our country have?There is the largest consumer market.

On the basis that the technical strength of each region has been finalized, what Wang Lin can do is chip design, wafer production, packaging and testing.

Fortunately, Wang Lin picked up a bargain, that is, he acquired a foreign related company, so he could stand at a higher starting point.

In order to promote the development of the domestic semiconductor industry, Wang Lin also wrote a letter and put forward suggestions, requesting the government to start technology, cultivate talents, and transfer technology and talents to private enterprises. Only in this way can we develop big country semiconductors.

After realizing technology research and development, introduction, and production, it is then transferred to other private enterprises.

Taking advantage of the official momentum, we can establish a test field and technology origin for my country's semiconductor development, which can effectively improve the overall level of chip development in the region.

The advantage of this is that the real core technology will be in the hands of the official, and in the future semiconductor war, there is no need to be controlled by others.

Let’s say that Aixiu Group has contacted Mr. Grove of Intel, saying that the factory of Aixiu Technology is ready to go, and has produced samples of 8-inch wafers, which will be mailed to Mr. Grove by international mail. If Mr. Grove If you think it’s okay, our company sincerely invites you and your team to visit Aishu Technology Co., Ltd. at a convenient time, and all expenses will be borne by our company.

Mr. Grove was very surprised. Of course he still remembered the agreement with Wang Lin, but he didn't believe that with the strength of Continental, could an advanced wafer production plant be built in a short time?
As we all know, driven by Moore's Law, the chip wafer size has evolved from 6 inches to 8 inches to 12 inches.

The larger the wafer area, the more chips can be produced, which reduces costs and improves yield.

However, compared with 12-inch wafers, 8-inch wafers have low fixed costs, lower requirements for cost-effective production volume, and mature technology. They are applied to the production of special process chips such as power devices, MEMS, and power management chips. They are formed with 12-inch wafers. complementary.

After IBM and Siemens established the first 1990-inch fab in 8, it once became an advanced standard in the industry, and the number of 8-inch fabs increased rapidly, reaching 1995 in 70.

After the global financial crisis broke out, the continuous expansion of the global 8-inch production line capacity came to an end.

But in any case, these advanced technologies had nothing to do with our country in the 90s.

Can the mainland technology company led by Wang Lin also produce 8-inch wafers?

Grove is somewhat skeptical.

He agreed to accept the samples sent by Aixiu Company first, and then make a decision on whether to visit Shencheng after seeing them.

Wang Lin immediately agreed to send the samples.

In order to prevent the samples from being lost during the mailing process, Wang Lin made another decision to send someone by plane to deliver the samples to Grove, which was fast and safe.

The heavy responsibility of sending samples fell on Deng Dabao.

Wang Lin knew that Deng Dabao's English was not very good, so he sent a translator to accompany him. At the same time, he arranged for Wang Haiyang and Deng Dabao to go with him and act as a technical explainer if necessary.

"Mr. Deng, this matter cannot be delayed, the sooner the better." Wang Linyu said earnestly, "Be sure to deliver the wafer samples to Mr. Grove in person. No matter whether he comes to inspect or not, you must first Let me know the time."

Deng Dabao knew that his trip was of great significance, so he patted his chest and said, "Wang Dong, please rest assured, I will try my best to bring Grove over!"

Wang Lin patted Deng Dabao's shoulder vigorously: "We are all waiting for your good news at home! Come on!"

Deng Dabao is Wang Lin's most loyal confidant.

Whenever Wang Lin encountered important matters, he would arrange for Deng Dabao to do them.

Of course Zhou Boqiang is also a trustworthy person.

But Zhou Boqiang is relatively old, and in many cases, he will behave conservatively and not open enough.

And Deng Dabao is better at building a network of interpersonal relationships because he has been in sales for many years, and he is also good at chatting with all kinds of people.

Wang Lin set a goal for Deng Dabao, how to achieve it is Deng Dabao's business.

Deng Dabao assured Wang Lin and left the office.

Wang Lin contacted Wang Haiyang of Aishu Technology and asked him to accompany Deng Dabao to Silicon Valley.

Wang Haiyang gladly accepted the order.

Wang Lin was generally satisfied with Wang Haiyang's performance.

A hero doesn't ask where he came from.

As long as Wang Haiyang can be used by Wang Lin and can make certain achievements in this field, what does it matter if his graduation certificate is from a famous school?
What Wang Lin uses is talent, not a paper diploma.

And this is exactly where Wang Lin is not rigid.

He is better at using the advantages of talents to create greater value.

In addition to Wang Haiyang, Wang Lin also selected a young man with good English from the company to act as an interpreter for Deng Dabao.

Although Wang Haiyang is good at foreign languages, he is the boss, so we can't let him be Deng Dabao's translator, right?That's not only a matter of overqualification, but also a disrespect for Mr. Wang's behavior.

Deng Dabao said that it doesn't work if there are too many people, so it's just right for three people to go.

The three-person team finalized and set off on a date.

Will this special invitation succeed?

Wang Lin wait and see!
