Return to the exciting era of 1999

Chapter 2119: The turning point of Yiyuanzhizao's fate has arrived

Holding his granddaughter's hand, there was a rare look of relief in his eyes.

Tan Xiumei pouted and said she didn't want any rewards for being in idol dramas.

"I want to list on the Hong Kong government. I have listed on the Hong Kong government for a short period of time, but it is difficult to list on the Hong Kong government again now. Do you have any suggestions?"

The hole in the R&D center has been getting bigger and bigger recently, and Ji Donglai absolutely cannot just sit back and do nothing.

The old man was slightly stunned and looked at his granddaughter. Tan Xiumei rolled her eyes and really wanted to scold Ji Donglai, thinking to herself that he had such a big appetite.

"It's not greedy. Ask someone to find my secretary. Xiumei will give you the contact information. You are very good at choosing the timing. Now is the weakest time for the economy here. I know the situation of your company."

"Going public in Hong Kong? Did I hear that correctly?"

When Ji Donglai's idea was transmitted back to Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing headquarters, everyone was stunned, including Zhao Shuying. Now the entire company is facing Tian Xuewei's review.

Isn't it a foolish dream to use large amounts of funds to go public in Hong Kong at this time?

Besides, even if there were no problems on the other side, the current economic situation is so bad that it is not a good time to go public.

"Just get ready. It's okay! Just keep in touch with the contact information I gave you. Even if we can't go public now, we will do it soon. The company will launch some new projects soon. In addition, Fan Zhongbao and his team will also be working on satellite projects. Everything should be ready."

Ji Donglai felt uncomfortable when he thought about the censorship, but that was all.

Nothing can stop Ji Donglai from doing what he wants to do. Huawei's chips have begun to be produced in large quantities in China, and the automotive chip projects of Lines 2 and 3 are also under construction.

These things may seem simple, but they actually require a lot of money and effort. Xin Li is now giving remote commands.

"Great Wall Motors has approached us. They are running out of chips now and hope to develop new automotive chips. I am wondering whether to follow suit!"

Sure enough, as the new year began, the entire economic atmosphere changed.

There are constantly more and more automobile manufacturers looking for chip foundry services. Of course, there are also many ODM industries, but there are still not many manufacturers with their own specialized chip design capabilities.

It is true that the country has provided policies in the entire integrated circuit field, but this thing is for the electronics industry after all, and not many people can get involved.

As the new year begins, not only Hynix, Intel, Micron, but even Freescale has begun to limit sales in the domestic market.

There has been almost no change from the Qing Dynasty to the present. When your economy is good, you still have to be able to play with technology.

"We'll take over as long as the funds allow. Also... let's be clear and tell everyone that we have mastered a new chip manufacturing process. It's time to stop hiding it. If we can't get through this time, it will be pointless for our industry to be buried with us."

Thinking of the complex situation he is facing now, Ji Donglai even became a little pessimistic.

I just don't care about it anymore and just reveal my cards.

I have mastered so many high technologies now, you want to mess with me? Come on! I have many ways and methods to deal with it!
"Then the pressure will be even greater, not only from within the country, but also from abroad!"

Hearing Ji Donglai say this, Zhao Shuying knew that Ji Donglai was a little pessimistic now, and thought about it for a while.

"Foreigners already know what they should know. Many people have helped spread our news abroad! Spread our news across the board. If the whole world is unfriendly to us, we will challenge the whole world. We have the courage to do it!"

Thinking of the complicated situation that would follow, Ji Donglai didn't care.

As long as you finish the next task, it doesn’t matter how big the waves are.

And so, at around two o'clock in the morning of the next day, Zhao Shuying personally drafted the press release.

"Yiyuan Technology Chip Company has mastered the 8nm chip manufacturing process. The 5nm chip manufacturing process has completed small-scale batch testing. The 3nm process has completed small-scale trial production under laboratory conditions. It now undertakes any high-end chip foundry production design tasks on the market."

From the company's official website to major short video platforms and portal websites, the message was sent simultaneously. Even the foreign Yiyuan intelligent manufacturing platform was sent out. The whole world was silent.

The expected sparks did not appear, not even a ripple was created.

"what happened?"

Xin Li was also watching the reactions on the Internet. It shouldn't happen. In the past, these people knew everything about China's high-tech and would criticize it at every turn. Why did their own company release something and why did they just talk about it?

"Haha, not surprising! When you were very naive, a group of people said that you would threaten them in the future, but when you really became a threat, many people would remain silent! Just let our people wait quietly for orders, we are now accepting orders from both home and abroad." "From now on, be high-profile and put anything under the spotlight, don't hold it back. You have been pretending to be a grandson for so long, now you are the master, remember that!"

After working so hard for so long, Ji Donglai just had to undergo an audit, which made him feel very unbalanced.

Thinking about the leaders who came to inspect, none of them could be relied on at the critical moment. Ji Donglai was completely disappointed with politics, so he might as well be high-profile and let the users give their evaluations.

As it turned out, Ji Donglai was still pessimistic.

As the first rays of morning sunlight shone on the logo of Uni-Yuan Intelligent Manufacturing, a report from the White House dominated the headlines of major media outlets around the world.

According to U.S. media reports, the United States plans to completely block the export of 14nm chip technology to Chinese chip companies. TSMC has already stated that it will invest $1000 billion in the future to increase production capacity, and the planned expenditure for 2021 is $300 billion, of which about $120 billion will be used to build a 5nm chip factory in Arizona, USA, and bring more than 1600 high-tech professional jobs and thousands of indirect semiconductor jobs to the local area.

Zhao Shuying almost didn't sleep all night, and when he saw the news sent by his assistant, he was very excited.

"Go to our chip factory to shoot videos, and under the guidance of our engineers, find those exciting and non-disclosure shots to shoot."

"Publicity Department, gather all the staff immediately. I need to fill up the short video content today. Quick!"

Zhao Shuying now understood why Ji Donglai asked her not to keep a low profile. A simple line of text would certainly not arouse any interest among young people who were used to watching videos.

There was also a lack of people to add to the fun, so Feng Chunbao specially sent someone to assist the Propaganda Department in planning and filming the scenes. As for the press release, Zhao Shuying wrote it herself.

After three hours of hard work, the Propaganda Department finished editing the video. Zhao Shuying was personally familiar with the script, and a professional host was narrating it.

"Yiyuan Zhizao has been devoted to the chip industry for 2019 years, focusing on the field of integrated circuit semiconductors. In 18, the first mobile phone chip was applied, one step at a time, from 12nm to 12nm in one and a half years, and from 7nm to nm in one and a half years!"

"The chip manufacturing department of Yiyuan Zhizao is always ready for the country and the nation. From being restricted by lithography machines to designing production lines on our own, from being unable to buy various raw materials such as photoresist to abandoning the lithography process."

"Yiyuan Zhizao has done it. More than 2,000 scientists from all over the world have worked hard day and night, not afraid of loneliness or power, and dared to develop chips for the world!"

The whole picture is very smooth, and the images of Zhao Shuying and his gang are highlighted in the whole picture. Ji Donglai's image is specially photoshopped in the video using AI technology, and the whole picture does not feel out of place.

In order to highlight Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing, Zhao Shuying spent a lot of effort to buy traffic and directly pushed the video to the top of major portals.

"Yiyuan Zhizao is making chips? When did it happen? They even made their own equipment. Aren't photolithography machines the only way to make chips?"

When the entire Internet was condemning the United States, Zhao Shuying's video was like a shot in the arm, immediately attracting the interest of many people, including many leaders.

Enthusiasts were the first to wake up, and some of them immediately began to look for information about Yiyuan Zhizao's work in this area over the years, including information about some leaders' visits to Yiyuan Zhizao.

Gradually, some people discovered clues, especially the photos of some leaders in the technology field shaking hands with Ji Donglai when they met, as well as the scientists standing next to Ji Donglai.

"I know this guy. He was a top student at the University of Electronic Science and Technology. When he graduated, several companies were vying for him. I didn't expect Ji Donglai to get him quietly. I should have thought of it earlier. This guy was the strongest among the graduates in the semiconductor field that year. Now he has no hair, so he must have made some major achievements!"

When a certain leader came to visit, the reception director took a quick glance in the video and was discovered by an enthusiastic netizen.

The news spread quickly, and the video was circulated quickly among the alumni groups of the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China.

"I thought he went abroad. He didn't say anything for so many years. It turns out that he went to complete research in the field of national chips. He is really low-key. He didn't say anything for so many years."

"My senior brother is so close to us. I should have known that we could have come together. I didn't expect that there would be no movement..."

Many people began to sigh at the achievements made by Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing, and more people began to investigate relevant information.

At this time, some experts also began to look for information about Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing Chip from previous fragments, and more short video celebrities began to comment.

"If the video of Yiyuan Zhizao is true, then we have to admit that the domestic national industry has helped us solve big problems. Do you know that artificial intelligence chips in high-end fields must be applied at the 3nm level? I mean the level, which is very difficult to achieve."

"The mobile phone chips we commonly use are actually only 12nm, which is the middle level of 7-14nm promoted by Yiyuan Zhizao. It is enough!"

"As for the chips used in our computers, they are actually at a lower level, some are even at the 65nm level, and many domestic manufacturers can now make them."

"I didn't expect that Ji Donglai's Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing would not make a move, but when it did, it was a king bomb! Moreover, for so many years, the other party has been developing quietly. If it weren't for this industrial survey, I guess no one would know that there is such a behemoth around them."
