Reborn in the red age

The factory is still under construction, but it will not affect the operations of the chip company.

After the group inspected the old office building, Li Qingfeng formally announced the establishment of "Huaxin International" in a low-key manner in the small auditorium of the office building without the presence of reporters.

After obtaining national authorization, Huaxin's first step is to integrate resources from domestic semiconductor companies.

At that time, there were only a limited number of semiconductor companies in China, and it was far from the chaos of chip companies after the 1990s.

After several years of turmoil, the domestic semiconductor field can only be described as difficult to describe.

Compared with the early 1980s, the gap with the international level is getting bigger and bigger.

Currently, there is only one Factory 742 in the country that is still doing well thanks to Li Qingfeng's support in the past two years. As for the other companies, their performance can only be described as horrible.

It has neither the technology nor the craftsmanship. If it were not for the support of the government, it would have gone bankrupt long ago.

"Kangmei, this is the technology list compiled above. You have been working on chips in America. Take a look at the technologies listed above. Are there any technologies that can be used?"

Li Qingfeng came to the office responsible for investigating domestic technology and asked Sun Kangmei who was flipping through a pile of information.

Putting down the information in his hand, Sun Kangmei rubbed his brows and shook his head: "No, the domestic technology is too backward. At least 95% of the technology has become waste."

"It's okay. It's just junk. I didn't expect any advanced technology from China. How about the photolithography machine?"

"It doesn't work either. The step-by-step projection lithography machine produced in 85 is quite advanced in China, but it is still far behind the international standards. It is a device that has long been eliminated internationally." Recalling the domestic situation he learned about in the past two days, Sun Kangmei was somewhat desperate.

Seeing that Sun Kangmei was somewhat desperate, Li Qingfeng stepped forward and patted Sun Kangmei on the shoulder, and said to encourage him: "Hey, don't be discouraged, think about the ancestors who came back from abroad to build the motherland before liberation. Their situation was much more difficult than ours now. They were really poor and had difficulty even eating, but they still developed two bombs and one satellite."

“Although domestic technology is lagging behind and there is a gap with the international level, there is a foundation for catching up and there is hope. As long as we integrate resources and increase capital investment, there is still hope to catch up with the world-class level.”

After Li Qingfeng's PUA, Sun Kangmei quickly regained his motivation, immersed himself in information that was higher than others, and continued to explore his own techniques.

Seeing Sun Kangmei regain his confidence, Li Qingfeng thought that his approach seemed to be somewhat effective, so he continued to talk to the members of the inspection team who returned from the United States one by one.

The effect is very good. The office, which was lifeless just now, is full of life again.

After the comprehensive survey was completed, Li Qingfeng personally invested one million national currency and sent invitations through the Ministry of Industry to various scientific research institutions, factories, and schools with strong domestic semiconductor industries.

Invite them to come to Sijiu City to participate in the first "Huaxin" industry exchange meeting.

For anyone who receives an invitation, regardless of the number of people, Li Qingfeng promises to cover travel expenses, food and lodging, and allows family members to come along.

The Ministry of Industry takes the lead, and there is such a sucker with full food and lodging included. Faced with such a good thing, naturally no one would refuse.

Practitioners from related units rushed to sign up, and followers gathered in large numbers.

Some units had already stopped R&D and production due to funding issues. Everyone in the entire department, except for the janitor and the sweeper, signed up to participate.

Some are even more shameless and take advantage of the summer vacation to sign up with their entire family, treating it as a trip to the city.

"Teacher Li, as of now, there are 3,400 people who have registered. Do you think we should lower the quality of the hotel a little? If all of them stay at the Kunlun Hotel, the hotel expenses during the conference alone will exceed one million yuan."

Xu Yuanming stood opposite Li Qingfeng's desk with the statistical data in his hand, reporting on the current registration situation for the first conference.

Hearing that there were 3,400 people, Qingfeng Li was stunned for a moment and rubbed his ears in disbelief: "How many?"

"Three thousand four hundred and fifty-one days. It is estimated that there will be about four thousand people by the end of the period."

"There are only about 500 to 600 people counted. Where did all these people come from?"

“Well, maybe it’s a family member.”

Li Qingfeng was silent for a moment, then he sat back in his chair and shook his head with a wry smile. He had thought that scholars from all over the country were high-quality talents, but he had never expected that they were so unsophisticated.
Seeing that Li Qingfeng remained silent for a long time, Xu Yuanming asked tentatively, "Teacher Li, how do you think we should arrange accommodation?"

"Those who have professional titles, have won awards, and have worked on major scientific research projects will all be arranged to stay at the Kunlun Hotel. The rest who are here for tourism will all stay in guesthouses outside. That's it."

There are too many people coming, and the high-end hotels in the old city can indeed accommodate them all, but wouldn't Li Qingfeng really be the one being taken advantage of?
In order to avoid Li Qingfeng being labeled as a sucker, he had to divert the people in this way.

Soon, semiconductor industry practitioners from various regions who had registered for the first conference entered the city.

Li Qingfeng borrowed four buses from Peking University and used them to pick up people at the entrance of Sijiucheng Railway Station.

When a car is full, it will be taken away. Those who need to stay in a hotel will stay in the hotel, and those who need to stay in a guesthouse will stay in the guesthouse.

Fortunately, those members who are eligible to stay in the hotel are of high quality and rarely come with families.

Even if there are relatives, they only bring a lover, and there is no group of people from the guesthouse. The whole family, young and old, will go together.

The conference venue is Peking University’s large lecture hall, which has two floors and can accommodate 2,500 people.

Of the four thousand people who registered, excluding family members and some unqualified people who were eliminated, there were only over a thousand people left, and the first floor of the podium could not even be filled.

"Not bad, not bad, Xiao Li, you organized this conference very well. I saw a lot of familiar faces. It can be called a grand event in the industry." Academician Wang, who had just finished speaking on the podium, said with satisfaction to Li Qingfeng who was sitting next to him.

Li Qingfeng smiled slightly and said modestly: "It's the first session, so we must do it well and set an example for our domestic counterparts."

"Okay, okay, by the time the next session starts, I hope that the domestic semiconductor industry will have made considerable progress."

Seeing Academician Wang's expectant eyes, Li Qingfeng was too embarrassed to say that this conference, which was set up to poach talents, would only be held once, so he could only nod in agreement awkwardly.

The meeting lasted a total of five days. The first day was about industry exchanges, the next few days were about technology sharing, and on the last day, Xu Yuanming took the stage to talk about the R&D strength of "Huaxin" International (showing off its muscles) and future plans (poaching).

When Xu Yuanming announced the international recruitment of Huaxin on the stage, with a base salary of 3,000 yuan for junior researchers, 5,000 yuan for mid-level researchers, 7,000 yuan for senior researchers, and 10,000 yuan for professors, and bonuses in US dollars, and housing allocation upon joining, the researchers who were desperate for money immediately became excited. Someone immediately asked if the salary package was true or not. Xu Yuanming didn't waste any words, but pulled a representative of the banking system on the stage, took out a deposit certificate of 1.2 billion US dollars issued by the bank, and showed everyone what it meant to have strong funds.

While people in the conference hall were dizzy with the unimaginably high salaries, Xu Yuanming directed the personnel who had been prepared long ago, and each of them held a stack of employment application forms and distributed them to everyone they met in the conference hall.

"This is nonsense. This is just nonsense."

Looking at the chaotic scene, Academician Wang was completely stunned. How could poaching be done this way?
Good fellow, you are holding a meeting on the surface, but in fact you are using the name of the meeting to trick people in, and then openly poach talents from all over the country.
Li Qingfeng, who followed the entire process at the venue, curled his lips after seeing that most people had signed. He exchanged a glance with Xu Yuanming and quickly left the venue.

In addition to the researchers, there were also a number of leaders from various units in the venue. Looking at those people's gloomy faces, Li Qingfeng felt that it was really scary and it was better to run away quickly.

The next day after the meeting, Li Qingfeng was called over by Secretary Qian, who mocked him sarcastically: "You are really amazing. I was wondering why you were so kind to allocate one million yuan from your own pocket to hold this stupid meeting. So this is your idea. I admire you so much."

"This is not a new company, and its foundation is weak. If we don't find another way, how can we recruit all the people in a short period of time?" Li Qingfeng spread his hands and said without shame.

"Humph, didn't we say that the Ministry of Industry would help coordinate? Before starting work, we need to ensure that your personnel are in place. Why do you have to use such despicable means to poach people? The complaint letters from various units are almost filling up the entire office."

"That's hard to say. What I want are the backbones of each institute. They are the essence of a scientific research unit. Can they be obtained with just a transfer order? If we don't do this, we don't know when we can coordinate the people in place."

Secretary Qian laughed at Li Qingfeng's words, pointed in the direction of the door, and waved his hand impatiently: "Go, go, go, I don't want to see you, hurry up and leave my office."

"Okay, goodbye."

As soon as he left Secretary Qian's office, Li Qingfeng had a smile on his face.

Although Secretary Qian's attitude was not very good, he did not ask to dismiss the recruits, so he just accepted it with a pinch of his nose.

Li Qingfeng was very satisfied with the result. Although his reputation was ruined, he managed to recruit people.

A new company completed the talent reserve that other companies would have accumulated in three to five years in just one month.

In any case, the result is good. The essence of the domestic semiconductor industry has been captured. As long as we are willing to invest money and take the right path, won’t it take off?

In order to fulfill the promise he made during the recruitment, Li Qingfeng specially transferred a sum of money from the joint venture company account and transferred in a sum of US dollars from Hong Kong.

The city asked for another piece of land in Zhongguancun and instructed Xu Yuanming to build the family quarters as soon as possible so as not to delay the allocation of housing to the incoming scientific researchers.

One second he was just a few big cats and small cats, and the next second he immediately became the general manager of a large company with thousands of researchers. Xu Yuanming was very motivated. Every day he was either in the research institute or at the construction site, urging rapid construction in the factory area and the staff quarters.

After solving this problem, Li Qingfeng relaxed temporarily. There were still a few days left in the summer vacation. He could have a good rest and relieve his physical and mental fatigue. He was exhausted from being busy with the chip company's affairs during this period.

"First grade, hurry up and get up. Today is the first day of school. Don't be late."

On the first day of school for elementary school freshmen, Hu Jiabao pulled the sleepy Chuyi out of bed early in the morning and urged him to eat breakfast and go to school.

The first grader who didn't want to go to school pretended to be upset and aggrieved, rubbing his belly and said, "Mom, my stomach hurts, can I not go to school today?"

"No, don't pretend to be sick here, it won't work, hurry up and get up and have breakfast"

Hu Jiabao, a doctoral student with work experience, saw through Chuyi's poor acting skills at a glance and urged her to stop pretending to be sick and get up quickly to eat.

"I don't want to, I don't want to, my stomach hurts, I don't want to go to school"

Seeing that he couldn't deceive the person, Chuyi just lay on the bed and acted like a rogue. He rolled back and forth on the bed and refused to get up and go to school.

This move made Hu Jiabao so angry that he ran outside and brought in a feather duster.

Under the pressure of the feather duster, Chuyi, who had been throwing a tantrum, finally got up and put on his clothes reluctantly.

"Hey, this kid, why is it so difficult to go to school? Go and pull Chuyi out of the toilet."

Looking at Chuyi, who had just reluctantly finished his breakfast and then left without returning under the pretext of going to the toilet, Hu Jiabao sighed.

Li Qingfeng, carrying a small pink schoolbag, looked at the angry Hu Jiabao, then looked in the direction of the toilet, sighed deeply, put down the schoolbag, and walked towards the toilet.

"My girl, are you ready? Your mother is urging you to come out." Standing at the door of the toilet, Li Qingfeng did not go in by himself.

Chuyi's panicked voice soon came from the toilet: "No, I have diarrhea, Dad, don't come in."

Just when he was about to turn around and plead with Hu Jiabao for Chuyi, he saw Hu Jiabao staring at him with his eyes wide open and an expressionless face.

With no other options, Qingfeng Li could only open the toilet door and walked in. Regardless of Chuyi's struggle, he carried Chuyi out, who was sitting on the toilet with his pants on.

After coming out of the toilet, Hu Jiabao immediately took over, holding Chuyi by the back of his neck with one hand, and sent Chuyi to report to school.

Holding the steering wheel and looking at Chuyi who was crying all the way in the back seat, Li Qingfeng shook his head. It seemed that Chuyi would have a hard time getting into university with his performance, and in the end, his old father would have to help him.

After reluctantly registering for the first grade at school, I met the first grade teacher in the classroom.

The head teacher was a young girl who had just graduated. When she saw the first grade student, she squatted down and greeted him gently: "Hello, little friend. You will go to school in the future. Are you happy?"

"I'm not good. I'm very unhappy now and I don't want to go to school." Chuyi glanced at the female teacher and said very bluntly with a pout.

"."

Before sending the first grade student to the classroom, in order to avoid the teacher frequently calling his parents, Li Qingfeng seriously stopped the first grade student who was about to enter the classroom and said:

"My daughter, study hard at school if you can, and sleep if you can't. Never fight with your classmates." (End of this chapter)
