Rebirth started in 2004

Chapter 574

In 2018, many things happened.

First of all, Hengtong Group stopped listing.

The main reason is that Chen Wei felt that if Hengtong Group were to go public, some information would have to be announced, and this was something Chen Wei didn't want the outside world to know.

For example, how much money Hengtong Group has made, and how much money has been invested in research and development.

After all, the external situation is not very good now.

Know yourself, know your enemy, and be invincible in a hundred battles!

Chen Wei can't guarantee that some internal information of Hengtong Group will be kept absolutely confidential, but it's a good thing not to spread some information.

For example, if the actual amount of Hengtong Group's annual R&D investment is announced, for some people, the stimulus will be too great.

In addition to the fact that Hengtong Group stopped listing, in the chip field, Hengtong Technology's chip revenue has increased significantly.

Hengtong Technology's chip adopts PHX architecture, which was created by Han Yufei. Over the years, Hengtong Technology has invested a lot of money every year to continuously change this architecture.

The PHX architecture has been highly mature a few years ago, and compared with the previous chip architecture, the PHX architecture has many advantages.

For example, modular design, low energy consumption and so on.

Another thing is that Huaxin International's 14nm chip process technology has finally achieved mass production.

This point is too important.

After reaching the 14nm process technology, will it not continue to break through?

Certainly not!
If you don’t continue to break through, who will Shencheng Microelectronics sell its lithography machine to?
In other words, what is Shencheng Microelectronics researching, it can make money by simply living on its laurels.

Now Huaxin International's 10nm chip manufacturing process is progressing very fast, and it can be realized without EUV lithography.

In the field of immersive stepper projection lithography machines, the technical level of Shencheng Microelectronics has reached the most advanced ranks in the world.

Now ASML, the only one that can stabilize the voltage of Shencheng Microelectronics is the EUV lithography machine.

Now Shencheng Microelectronics has just produced a prototype of the EUV lithography machine, and there are still many problems. It will take a lot of time to officially provide it to downstream manufacturers for use.

Even so, Shencheng Microelectronics provided Huaxin International with a prototype.

After Huaxin International received the prototype, it gave feedback to Shencheng Microelectronics according to the actual use status, and then Shencheng Microelectronics continued to improve it.

Products must be improved in the process of continuous use.

This is something everyone knows.

Now ASML is under quite a lot of pressure, constantly clamoring to supply EUV lithography machines to Huaxin International.

Asmail is afraid!

Now facing Shencheng Microelectronics, it only has the trump card of EUV lithography machine.

In the competition of other types of lithography machines, ASML has begun to fall behind.

The revenue of Shencheng Microelectronics has grown extremely fast, and relying on the price, it has robbed many customers of ASML.

For example, domestic semiconductor companies basically use the products of Shencheng Microelectronics.

One of the largest customers is Huaxin International.

In addition to Huaxin International, other domestic semiconductor companies basically buy lithography machines from Shencheng Microelectronics.

Purchasing the lithography machine of Shencheng Microelectronics means integrating into a complete semiconductor industry chain.

This industrial chain, after these years of growth, is already quite large, and its technical level is not bad at all compared with international counterparts, and it even faintly exceeds it.

In terms of application technology research and development capabilities and efficiency, Huaguo's scientific researchers are obviously much faster than those in Europe and the United States.

At present, Huaguo's shortcomings in scientific research are mainly concentrated in basic research.

In addition, there is another point that needs to be explained, that is, Xingkong University has invited back many tenured professors from well-known universities from abroad.

"Compared to the past, it is easier to poach people now, and many people are considering returning to China."

Li Fei crossed her long legs gracefully, with a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, gently stirring the coffee cup.

She came to Hengtong Group headquarters today to report to Chen Wei.

Next, she will work in the personnel department of Hengtong Group, and will be in charge of the introduction of high-end talents.

The desire for talents, Hengtong Group has never been satisfied.

It's like young people like beautiful women and are always hungry.

When one day, Hengtong Group is no longer eager for talents to join, it only means one thing, Hengtong Group is going to be finished.

Yes, it's the end.

Chen Wei withdrew his gaze from Li Fei's leg, even though he had played with it countless times, he was never tired of it.

"It's a very normal thing. Now that our country is developing so well, the attraction to talents has greatly increased."

Li Fei: "I think we should not simply focus on Chinese scientists, but also introduce some other scientists."

Chen Wei pondered for a moment. In the past, the most important thing of Hengtong Group was to find a way to bring back Chinese scientists who were abroad.

People who went abroad to study more than ten or twenty years ago were basically the best group of people in the same year.

In the past, Huaguo could not provide a good research environment for these people, but now there is no such problem.

No matter where the scientific research funding is, it is very tight, but as long as the ability is strong, then the scientific research funding will never be lacking.

Now many people have returned to China to develop, which is a clear proof.

Especially for young people, returning to China for development after studying abroad is most of the choices.

Young people grow up with the continuous prosperity of the country, and they have strong confidence in the future of the country.

"As long as talents are used by me, why bother to care about others. Teacher Li, your suggestion is very good."

Li Fei rolled her eyes at Chen Wei. Didn't anyone mention this suggestion before?

Some things are just hard to say.

Li Fei also knew that Chen Wei didn't trust outsiders deep down.

But in fact, Chinese and foreigners are the same.

When it was time to betray, there was no ambiguity at all.

It mainly depends on the moral level of the individual. There are scumbags everywhere, and there is no shortage of "honest people" who abide by the rules.

For example, on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, honest people are at a disadvantage.

Even, there is a tendency to suffer more and more.

For many scientists, they just want a stable environment where they can conduct research.

I really don't want to get involved in all kinds of weird things.

Li Fei came to work at Hengtong headquarters, but it didn't cause much disturbance.

Zhao Pan was a little nervous, but didn't make any movements.

After all, she also knew that the relationship between Li Fei and Chen Wei was very unusual.

I heard that Li Fei was Chen Wei's English teacher when he was in Chen Wei's high school.

With the arrival of 2019, everything looks very peaceful.

People are getting used to watching the news every day, but if they don’t, they always feel that something is missing.
