Return to the exciting era of 1999

Chapter 2266: Spare no effort and forge ahead

When it comes to Lu Lu's children, the old couple are even more worried.

I haven't seen Lu Lu's children for all these years, so taking care of them is fulfilling my responsibilities as grandparents.

"Jingle Bell!"

A few days later, the two were reminiscing about the past when the phone at home rang. The old couple hurriedly picked it up. After hanging up the phone, the old man quickly turned on the TV with the volume turned up high. On it was a special live interview with Ji Donglai by the local TV station.

On TV, Ji Donglai refused to wear any makeup and appeared without makeup. The host was a very famous local satellite TV host. Today, she specially wore a blue professional suit with white underwear, and her cleavage was faintly visible. She sat opposite Ji Donglai without crossing her legs, but consciously put one foot on the tray, looking at Ji Donglai with a smile on her face.

"Mr. Ji, first of all, thank you for coming to our province. We know that a large number of your group's employees are traveling north to support the tourism industry in their hometown. I would like to ask how many people from your company will be traveling north this time?"

The local publicity department has already written the manuscript for the other party, especially Ji Donglai’s call for employees to go north, which must be vigorously promoted.

Although Ji Donglai was born in Hebei, his hometown is here, so we must promote it vigorously, which will help entrepreneurs in his hometown to help the development of his hometown.

Moreover, this year is too difficult. The Ice and Snow World, which was invested 8 billion RMB, opened with only people and the park is deserted. How can we explain this to the local authorities?

"We have nearly 340,000 domestic employees and nearly 80,000 overseas employees, and this number is still increasing! Our company is inviting friends and friends from partner units to visit our hometown, and we can add at least 70,000 more."

"The vast majority of the consumption of this group of people is borne by Yiyuan Zhizao! It has been many years since I last experienced China's ice and snow world for the first time. The pure beauty is very beautiful."

"My children and family came and had a great time. We ate fried cakes, candied haws, fried cakes, big pot stew, Madiel popsicles, grilled red sausages, went to the Ice and Snow World, and ate local boxed lunches. It made me feel very good, so I asked my employees to come and play as a benefit. I agree!"

As soon as Ji Donglai opened his mouth, he started advertising his hometown, and the host and the audience exclaimed in surprise.

Nearly 490,000 people, the economic impact that one enterprise can drive is terrifying.

The old couple watching TV were also shocked at this time. They did not expect Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing to be so big. Although Ji Donglai acted on impulse, he did benefit the people.

After looking at each other, they both knew what company their granddaughter worked for.

"Boss Ji, which places did you arrange for your employees to visit in the north this time?"

Forty-nine thousand people, the Ice and Snow World alone cost more than ten million RMB. After the other party asked the question, he felt a little regretful because it was not on the teleprompter. The director in the audience almost threw the notebook.

"I originally booked Yabuli Ski Resort, Xuexiang, and Harbin Ice and Snow World for all employees, but now I have added a trip to Yichun to experience the extreme cold and snow."

Facing the host's questions, Ji Donglai was not afraid at all, but this time the host was not calm.

"The average cost of each place is nearly 500 yuan, and the four places cost 2,000 yuan. So, Mr. Ji spent more than 200 million yuan this time!"

Faced with Ji Donglai's gesture, the host was a little out of control this time, because he had never seen a leader, and a boss, who was so generous to his employees.

Bosses all over the world, especially those of private enterprises in China, like to send out Tieguanyin tea to cook tea eggs at home during the Chinese New Year.

There are also bosses who give out steamed buns so you can eat a few meals when you get home, but more often they just send a text message (telling you to come back to work early), and the rest just say nothing or even get angry.

Compared with Ji Donglai, these people are scum.

"All the money is earned by the employees. Whoever earns it spends it. It's just a small amount. Our aim is to meet the welfare needs of employees as much as possible under the condition of sufficient investment and development."

"There are also many people in our province working in Yiyuan Zhizao's affiliated companies. Every year we come to the five universities in Northeast China to recruit, and every year we take away many high-end talents from Harbin Institute of Technology."

"It is my hometown that has helped us cultivate so many outstanding talents. This time I am here to give back a little. Of course, the most important thing is that the employees of Yiyuan Zhizao have benefited from it."

"We are still limited at the moment, and we cannot afford all the things our employees buy locally. We will develop it in a few years. It will be perfect when we can afford the things our employees buy when they come to travel."

Ji Donglai has not been hiding anything about the company's development to this point.

Ji Donglai gave everything he could, and if he couldn't give, the employees had to bear the cost themselves.

During this trip to Northeast China, the employees went on a shopping spree.

The low prices here are a great incentive for workers living in the interior, especially in the south, Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. From kvass to black bread, one meal in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou can last for three days here. The charcoal barbecue is the kind with real charcoal fire, and the frozen dumplings are placed at the door of the restaurant, and they are brought in and cooked as soon as you want to eat them.

It was my first time to experience the Northeast's hot kang while eating, which burned my butt. I would wake up from the heat at night, and I could drink ice-cold mineral water by just leaving it outside the window for ten minutes.

You can’t order room temperature drinks in the Northeast, so iced drinks are fine…

"The employees working in your company are very happy. I envy them. Mr. Ji, speaking of investment, what are your plans for Yiyuan Zhizao in the future? This is the first time we know that Yiyuan Zhizao is so big. Where have you generally focused your investments over the years?"

"We have only seen the news and headlines about Yiyuan Supermarket on the Internet recently, and many people's impression of Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing is limited to this. What other high-tech fields have you invested in? Can you tell us about them?"

The director saw the host constantly flirting with Ji Donglai and hurriedly reminded him.

"Big money investment is mainly concentrated in energy, semiconductors and aerospace. The rest are not challenging for Yiyuan Zhizao!"

After thinking about the scale of his company, Ji Donglai did not elaborate on it in full.

"Semiconductors, are you talking about chips? We all know that our country is in short supply of these now. Have you invested in them?"

The host keenly grasped the hot topics in society today, especially the fact that foreign countries are constantly imposing embargoes on Chinese chips.

Recently, many high-tech companies have cut off supplies to Chinese high-tech companies, especially Huawei.

"More than a decade ago, Yiyuan Zhizao launched large-scale investments in the chip field. Now, Yiyuan Zhizao's high-end chips are breaking through the mass production of 4nm process technology. Yiyuan Zhizao has achieved full-scale mass production of all chips before 4nm, and now Yiyuan Zhizao has begun to cooperate with major domestic high-tech manufacturers."

"As you know, domestic high-tech manufacturers on the market have more or less cooperated with Yiyuan Zhizao. Of course, some people take Yiyuan Zhizao's chip design drawings to other companies for OEM, and we don't object to that."

"Over the years, TSMC and Samsung have brought our chip drawings to consult our core design team about process technology problems, and we have provided help based on a certain fee."

"In the next step, Uni-President will make every effort to promote the breakthrough of high-computing AI chips! In this regard, we have already cooperated with many high-tech companies in the world, including Oracle and Alstom, and the results are good!"

Ji Donglai's words made the group of passionate young people below feel excited.

Before today, many people thought that China's chips were completely dead.

In particular, the "colonial guide" party frequently uses public opinion to cover up the issue online, saying that once China's chips are separated from the United States, it will be completely helpless.

Mobile phone chips are now mainly concentrated in 7nm. Ji Donglai's breakthrough in 4nm means that China's mobile phone chips have been completely settled, and he is very happy.

The old couple in front of the TV were also shocked at this moment, if for no other reason than that their grandson-in-law was participating in China's epoch-making chip project.

Before today, the two of them had always thought that Jiang Haokun was just playing around and that he was now working in One Yuan Finance, a speculative business by an evil capitalist. Now it seems they were wrong.

"Why cooperate with foreign companies? Why not cooperate with domestic companies? Is this child in trouble?"

Watching Ji Donglai's interview, the two old men were very confused at this time.

"Applause to our President Ji, thank you for helping us protect the chip base!"

Only when the host got in close contact with Ji Donglai was he able to tell from his gaze that these were all true.

"Mr. Ji, is the chip project very expensive? Our country has always been stuck with lithography machines. How did your company break through this project?"

The host bowed to Ji Donglai on behalf of all the staff and sat down again, his eyes full of admiration.

"We have our own process equipment and chip printers. If you have time, you are welcome to visit our chip factory. As for burning money... haha! We can't even calculate how much money we spend every year. The funds we have burned in the chip printer project alone are equivalent to the sum of our other projects over the years!"

"But fortunately, Yiyuan Zhizao can still afford it! Yiyuan Zhizao uses all other industries to support the chip industry, and the people are very supportive. In the past two years, we have been sanctioned a lot because of chip issues, but we are not afraid. For Yiyuan Zhizao, these are all minor problems."

"China's chip industry started with the first independent chip in 2007, and we also started to participate in the development of domestic chips at almost the same time. Over the past decade, Yiyuan Zhizao has trained more than high-end chip talents for the country. It is no exaggeration to say that now all large domestic chip manufacturing institutions have talents trained by Yiyuan Zhizao."

"Compared with the limited funds, these talents are valuable, and I hope that those employees who leave Yiyuan Zhizao will have a better life."
