Reborn in the red age

A large number of pirated disc promoters suddenly appeared in remote rural areas on the outskirts of Beijing. These people were all well-dressed, working in groups of two. They all rode rented tricycles, loaded with CDs and recorders, and headed straight to the local brigade. Go away.

In a rural area outside Tongzhou within the jurisdiction of Sanhe, Chen Defa drove his tricycle directly into the brigade headquarters. After getting off the vehicle, he asked directly for the village party secretary.

After reading the letter of introduction in Chen Defa's hand with the official seal of the newly registered VCD factory, the village party secretary lukewarmly invited the two of them into the house, took out two broken enamel jars and started pouring water for them.

While pouring water, he asked casually: "Comrade, why did you come to our village?"

"It's a good thing, a great thing. When Mr. Deng met with the American delegation last year, didn't he say that some people should get rich first, and that the first and the latter should get rich? Our factory responded to Mr. Deng's call and led the people in our village to get rich," Chen Defa said When they arrived, Qingfeng Li gave them the slogan.

When he heard that he was here to help the village get rich, the village secretary's hands paused and his face became a little eager.

Putting the broken enamel jar in his hand aside, he opened the cabinet and took out two brand new enamel jars.

When he saw the little tea in the cabinet that was used to entertain superiors, the old party secretary hesitated for a moment, with a trace of reluctance flashing on his face, but he still made up his mind to grab a handful of tea and added it.

He enthusiastically served good tea and asked a young man in the brigade to invite all the village leaders. The old party secretary enthusiastically pulled Chen Defa and the two to chat.

Soon, seven or eight people came to the brigade headquarters one after another, all of whom were the top leaders in the village.

Seeing that everyone was coming, Chen Defa did not waste any time and started to get to the point. He took out the prepared materials from his bag and distributed them one by one. While they were reading the materials, Chen Defa briefly explained the contents in vernacular. .

"Comrade, what do you mean, you are going to recycle all the CDs produced by providing machines and materials, and we can earn two yuan per CD?" The village party secretary put down the information in his hand and used his muddy old eyes. Staring at Chen Defa.

Chen Defa nodded, "Yes, as long as it is produced and delivered to our factory, we will purchase it all at the purchase price."

"Then if our village does this, how many CDs can we produce in a month?"

"A recorder can record up to twenty records a day. In this case, it should last about three months before it breaks down. You don't have to worry about the recorder. It's not expensive. A recorder costs 700 yuan, including the CD. Cost, a recorder can provide a profit of fifteen hundred yuan in these three months."

The price of the pinning machine, a special equipment for pirated discs, is too expensive. Even if everyone in the village cannot afford to buy it, they can only let them use the recorder to make ends meet. After making some money, if the villagers have done something The idea of ​​​​bigger and stronger can help purchase a plate pressing machine.

If you don't have this awareness, then continue to use the recorder to make ends meet.

People these days are honest and have never experienced fraud. After learning about it in detail from Chen Defa, they did not doubt the authenticity of Chen Defa's words. They excitedly discussed that the whole village would raise funds to buy a recorder for the production of optical discs.

Seeing that the cooperation was easily negotiated, and the villagers eagerly wanted to buy the machine, Chen Defa smiled: "There is no rush to buy the recorder. For the first time we cooperate, we can only provide you with one recorder, and We won’t charge you for the time being, you can use it directly for production, and when it comes to our factory for delivery, our factory will deduct the cost from the payment for the goods.”

"Ah, how can this be done? Isn't that taking advantage of you? Comrade, don't worry, although our village is poor, the whole village can still buy two or three of those recorders." Although people today are poor, their lives are No matter how hard life is, he is not willing to take advantage of others. After Chen Defa finished speaking, the village party secretary immediately expressed his stance that he was unwilling to accept the food.

The other village leaders who participated in the meeting also echoed, saying that although the village is poor, it knows what is good. You are here to help the villagers get rich, and we cannot let you suffer.

Looking at the excited people, Chen Defa quickly stretched out his hand to signal everyone to stop first. After the room calmed down, he said: "Dear uncles and uncles, our factory responded to the call of getting rich first and then getting rich later to help the village get rich. , not here to sell equipment or materials.”

"I understand what everyone is thinking, but the rules in our factory are like this. What if I take the money? Isn't that a violation of the factory rules? If you want to raise funds to buy a recorder, you have to wait until the first payment. After receiving the goods, talk to the factory leaders.”

Everyone was moved by Chen Defa's words. The village party secretary even held Chen Defa's hand. He was moved to tears and kept saying words of thanks.

That night, Chen Defa and the two stayed there. After being entertained with delicious food and drinks by the village, two young people from the village who had attended junior high school were sent over the next day to be taught and trained in the use of the recorder by Chen Defa.

Burning is very simple, all you need is a hand. After spending a morning teaching the two of them, leaving the address of the factory and agreeing on a delivery time, Chen Defa and the others said goodbye and left.

When the two left, the whole village came out to see them off, two miles away from the village entrance.

This is basically the same situation in other places, and the villagers are very grateful to them promoters.

The campaign to send warmth to the countryside lasted for two weeks. A total of one hundred burners and piles of CDs were sent out to rural areas within the suburbs of Beijing.

Just when the promoter returned to Sijiucheng, Zheng Liangliang and a young man of eighteen or nineteen also came over from his hometown by train.

"Brother Liang, this is Sijiucheng. Such tall buildings are much more prosperous than our city." Qingfeng Li's younger cousin Li Qi excitedly pointed at the tall buildings outside the train station and shouted as soon as he got off the train.

Zheng Liangliang was also excited to see such a tall building for the first time, but he was older and a father of three children. He would definitely not point at tall buildings and yell like Li Qi, who had just graduated from high school.

Sensing the gazes of the people around them on the two of them, Zheng Liangliang quickly pulled Li Qi, who was still looking around excitedly, and said, "Okay, what's so interesting about this? It's just a building, don't forget where we came from. It’s business, hurry up and get the address your second uncle gave you, and let’s go find your third brother.”

"okay"

Li Qi nodded quickly, looked around, found a corner, with his back to the street, pulled down his pants, revealing the high-grade anti-theft pants inside, and opened the zipper to reveal a piece of white paper and a stack of money ticket.

High-end anti-theft underwear, a high-end underwear that has emerged in the past two years, sells very well. It comes with a small bag and zipper inside. It is much better than what Li's mother used to sew for Qingfeng Li. It is a must-have item when traveling far away.

Based on the address on the paper, the two inquired all the way and finally found Qingfeng Li's home in Qianliang Hutong. "Ah, this is Brother Liangliang, right? Why are you here, Li Qi? Aren't you a senior in high school this year? Why aren't you in school?"

Facing the two people who came to the door, Hu Jiabao, who was taking care of his first-year junior high school students, raising a baby, and studying on his own at home, although he didn't know Zheng Liangliang, he knew his little cousin Li Qi. After all, it had not been two months since they met during the New Year.

Li Qi was a little shy and embarrassed when asked about schooling by this beautiful third sister-in-law whom he didn't know very well. After a long time, he hesitated and said: "Sister-in-law, I failed the preliminaries in March. The school asked me to go home and fend for myself. The way out, my second uncle asked me to come."

During the Chinese New Year, Father Li, who had finally managed to get his third son to open a factory at home and become an entrepreneur, was still thinking about who would come to Sijiucheng to learn how to use a recorder.

The younger nephew Li Qi, who failed the preliminaries and was kicked out without even qualifying for the college entrance examination, suddenly appeared in Father Li's sight.

On the night when Li Qi left school, Li's father went to his brother's house with two bottles of Maozi and meat dishes. After bragging, he successfully hired Li Qi with a high salary of 100 yuan a month.

Hu Jiabao smiled and did not continue talking about this topic. The college entrance examination is already difficult these days, and the child was sad when he was dismissed. It is better not to mention this sad thing.

He warmly welcomed the two of them into his home. At noon, Hu Jiabao went out to buy some meat and vegetables, and set a table full of sumptuous meals to entertain them.

After lunch, the two were left to rest briefly at home. Hu Jiabao personally drove the two to Wang Weimin's factory in Mentougou for further training.

As for why Li Qingfeng didn't come forward? That's because Qingfeng Li is not in Sijiu City now.

Li Qingfeng led a team and transferred some key personnel from the Microelectronics Research Institute, and came to Wuxi with Wang Weimin to investigate whether Wuxi 742 Factory had the ability to produce MPEG decoding chips.

Originally, Qingfeng Li was planning to do OEM work directly in Japan. However, based on reports from professors at the Institute of Microelectronics who had previously been engaged in chip research in China, Qingfeng Li put China into consideration and learned more about these domestic products. The development of the chip industry in 2016.

You wouldn’t know if you didn’t check it out, but you would be shocked when you find out about it. It seems that the current domestic chip industry is not particularly bad.

我国第一座具备规模化生产的晶圆厂是1980年开始建设的第四机械工业部无锡742厂，获当时国家投资2.8亿人民币。该厂1980年从日本东芝引进全套三英寸半导体晶圆厂（5微米技术），并于1982年起投产，是中国第一个具规模半导体晶圆厂。

Starting in 84, local governments, state-owned enterprises, and universities have also introduced semiconductor wafer fabs from abroad. In just six years, a total of semiconductor wafer fabs have been introduced, but how can I put it?

They are all political projects that follow politics. Political factors are far greater than economic laws. Most of them are obsolete production lines, which do not produce any benefits and form a huge waste.

Fortunately, Wuxi 742 Factory emerged among them, and it did not lag too far behind internationally. Wuxi became the leader in the domestic semiconductor industry.

In addition, domestic lithography machines seem to be quite good in the micron era. As early as 82, the KHA109-75 semi-automatic proximity lithography machine jointly developed by 1 Factory, Harbin Measuring and Cutting Tool Factory, and Acheng Relay Factory was successfully launched. , in terms of indicators, it has completely matched the Japanese PLA500-F photolithography machine next door.

Last year, the 45th Institute even developed a step-by-step lithography machine prototype, surpassing the KHA75 by a whole generation, and its performance indicators were close to the 4800DSW lithography machine produced by the American GCA Company, which was at the forefront of the lithography machine field at that time.

The more he understood the current domestic chip capabilities, the more incredible it became for Qingfeng Li. At this time, the chip capabilities were really ranked among the best in the world.

Unfortunately, there is too little demand for domestic chips, the yield rate is not as good as that of foreign countries, the manufacturing cost is higher than that of foreign companies, and the performance is not as good as that of advanced foreign companies. Foreign countries do not purchase domestic chips, and they have not yet achieved scale.

In addition, the investment in R&D and building factories was too high, and a bunch of compradors advocated that manufacturing was better than buying. In the early 1990s, we were completely behind the world.

I discovered that decoding chips seem to be produced in China, so I decided to take this trip to Wuxi.

With three letters of introduction from Peking University, Wang Weimin's foreign trade company, and Xiangjiang Lemon Company, the delegation was warmly welcomed by Factory 742. Accompanied by Director Luo of the Technical Department of Factory 742 and Director Yang, the delegation visited the entire factory.

Everyone discussed while walking, and quickly finished visiting Factory 742. They did not rush to the conference room to listen to Director Yang's boasting, and asked Director Yang for an office. Qingfeng Li and a few technical backbones planned to hold a small meeting first.

"Everyone has spent the whole morning getting to know Factory 742 and has a general understanding of Factory 742. We are all elites in this field. Let us share our opinions." After everyone lit up their cigarettes, Li Qingfeng He spoke first.

As the leader who proposed to Qingfeng Li to produce decoding chips in China, Ni Guangnan took the lead after Qingfeng Li finished speaking: "Based on the morning visit and the exchange with Director Luo, Factory 742 does have the ability to produce decoding chips. However, the yield rate is relatively low and the production capacity is not high. Compared with Japanese foundries, the purchase price will be higher.”

"Old Ni, it's now time. Don't say good things to Factory 742. Why is the price too high? Japan quoted us 80. Factory 742's quotation is estimated to be more than , and the output is far lower than ours. The demand, coupled with the need for laser heads made abroad, our costs will increase a lot." Li Qingfeng rubbed his brows and said with a wry smile.

"Teacher Li, the yield rate and output of Factory 742 have been unable to increase because there is no domestic market demand to promote it. The semiconductor industry is a high-end manufacturing industry with a very high production ratio. The semiconductor industry has been developing rapidly in recent years. In the future I’m afraid everything needs a chip.”

"There is indeed a gap between our domestic chip industry and foreign countries, but the gap is not too exaggerated. As long as the domestic market provides continuous support, we will one day catch up with the foreign semiconductor industry."

"At present, our company is the only one in China that has a large demand for chips. If we don't give orders to our domestic companies and only think about purchasing abroad, we are supporting foreign industrial chains."

"If the domestic semiconductor industry dies and the chip industry is controlled by others, won't our company have to be squashed and rounded by foreign countries? What development can there be?"

The excited Ni Guangnan stopped here and said to Li Qingfeng in a serious voice: "Teacher Li, I was recently reading Mr. Jin's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and there was a sentence in it that I thought was particularly well written."

"A great chivalrous person serves the country and the people" (End of Chapter)
