When I am reborn, I just want to be a top student

After leaving Xinsheng Semiconductor, Chen Lingyue finally couldn't help it anymore.

Since meeting Zhang Rujing, Chen Lingyue has not spoken a word and has been staying quietly by Wang Donglai's side.

When Wang Donglai took out the semi-finished packaging design plan, Chen Lingyue was also shocked.

This was the first time he had seen this design.

After thinking about it for a while, Chen Lingyue remembered when this design plan appeared.

There was a hint of horror in his eyes, but he did not show it in front of Zhang Rujing.

At this time, after walking out of Xinsheng Semiconductor, Chen Lingyue couldn't help but ask, "Boss, did you complete the packaging design on the way here?"

When asking this question, Chen Lingyue's tone was somewhat incredulous, and also a little expectant.

"Ok!"

Wang Donglai nodded, looking calm.

"It's just a half-finished packaging design."

Wang Dong said it lightly, but Chen Lingyue opened his mouth wide, looking a little speechless.

Zhang Rukyo just said that this packaging design has reached the 7nm level. What does this mean?

At present, neither Apple's A series chips, Qualcomm's Snapdragon nor Samsung's Exynos have developed chips with a 7nm process.

As a result, Wang Donglai already has the packaging technology for 7nm chips.

Moreover, it only took Wang Donglai a very short time to complete this semi-finished design plan.

Chen Lingyue is not a person who does not understand technology. Because he understands technology, he understands what Wang Donglai's ability represents.

So, when he saw Wang Donglai casually admit it, one can imagine what he felt in his heart.

"Boss, what do we do next?"

Chen Lingyue quickly came out of his shock and asked.

"Well, I'll stay in Shanghai for another night to finish the packaging design and hand it over to Mr. Zhang tomorrow. The next thing we have to do is wait for the tape-out!"

Wang Donglai did not hide anything from Chen Lingyue and told him about his next work arrangements.

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away!"

Chen Lingyue nodded in agreement.

……

Zhongwei.

While Wang Donglai and Zhang Rujing were discussing packaging technology, Yin Zhiyao also returned to his office and opened the document left by Wang Donglai.

Regarding Wang Donglai's visit this time, Yin Zhiyao guessed several possibilities.

However, until Wang Donglai left, Yin Zhiyao was not sure why Wang Donglai came.

However, after opening the document, Yin Zhiyao's expression changed.

The contents of the document were beyond his expectations.

Without hesitation, a hint of joy immediately appeared on Yin Zhiyao's face.

"Contact Professor Wang now and tell him I want to meet him!"

Subconsciously, Yin Zhiyao instructed his secretary.

After saying this, Yin Zhiyao immediately reacted, stopped the secretary's action, and said, "Forget it, I'll call myself!"

As he said that, he took out his cell phone and called Wang Donglai.

"Professor Wang, where are you now? I want to meet you and have a chat!"

Yin Zhiyao's tone was very polite, even more polite than when they met before.

After getting Wang Donglai's address, Yin Zhiyao immediately told the driver to drive to the hotel.

……

soon.

Yin Zhiyao met Wang Donglai in the hotel.

At this time, Wang Donglai was typing on the computer, as if he was busy with something.

"Mr. Yin, please wait a moment. The work at hand will be finished soon. Is there anything you want to talk to me about?" Wang Donglai said without raising his head.

Seeing Wang Donglai's concentration, Yin Zhiyao was not angry or annoyed. Instead, he admired him and said, "No wonder Professor Wang has achieved such great success. With such hard work, he deserves such success."

"Professor Wang, you go ahead and do your work. It won't be too late to talk to you when you're done!"

If it were someone else, Yin Zhiyao would definitely not be so easy to talk to.

If Wang Donglai had had this attitude a few hours earlier, Yin Zhiyao would not have had the same attitude.

Wang Donglai's fingers moved quickly as he typed on the keyboard.

Ten full minutes passed before he stretched and stopped.

During these ten minutes, Yin Zhiyao was very patient. He sat opposite Wang Donglai and waited quietly.

After closing the computer, Wang Donglai smiled and asked, "Boss Yin, what's the matter that makes you so anxious to see me?"

When Yin Zhiyao heard Wang Donglai ask this, he showed a trace of helplessness on his face and said, "Professor Wang, if you had taken out this document earlier, I would not have let you go no matter what. After you left, I would have contacted you immediately after seeing the contents of the document."

Wang Donglai could tell that Yin Zhiyao was serious when he said this.

"Mr. Yin, now that you have read this document and come to me, what do you think?" Wang Donglai asked directly.

Yin Zhiyao did not hesitate and said immediately: "Professor Wang, since I came to you the first time, it has proved my sincerity. If there is no problem with the technology, I am willing to buy it!"

"Oh, how much money is Mr. Yin prepared to pay?" Wang Donglai asked.

Yin Zhiyao hesitated for a moment before speaking out, "One hundred million!"

"This price is definitely not low. It's even a bit of a premium. I'm sure Professor Wang also knows the price standards in this industry."

One packaging design plan costs one hundred million.

If it gets out, it will definitely cause a huge response and shock on the Internet.

However, when Wang Donglai heard Yin Zhiyao's offer, he was unmoved.

"Mr. Yin, this packaging design plan is still only a semi-finished product. Aren't you afraid that you only have half of it? Or in other words, are you willing to pay 500 million to buy this half of the design plan?" Wang Donglai asked curiously.

Yin Zhiyao smiled and said, "Professor Wang, you must be joking. Since Professor Wang showed me this design plan, it means he trusts me. I naturally won't doubt the problem with this design plan."

"To be honest, the level of this packaging design is beyond my imagination, but after thinking about it carefully, I don't think there is any problem."

"Professor Wang's scientific research ability is well known. It is unexpected but reasonable that he can design such an excellent plan."

"One hundred million. The extra premium is just a token of my appreciation."

"I don't know. What do you think, Professor Wang?"

Wang Donglai laughed, and there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.

"Mr. Yin, it seems that you don't understand the true secret of this packaging technology, which is why you offered an estimated price of 500 million yuan and even felt that it was a premium."

"To be honest, this makes me a little disappointed!" After saying that, Wang Donglai picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Serve tea to see the guests off.

Yin Zhiyao knew the unspoken rules of life.

Coupled with the hint of dissatisfaction in Wang Donglai's words, Yin Zhiyao's heart skipped a beat.

Without thinking too much, he immediately took out the document again and read it carefully.

It has to be said that after coming under pressure, Yin Zhiyao quickly saw the real mystery.

"Professor Wang, has this packaging design been verified? How effective is it? Is the patent yours?"

Yin Zhiyao asked several questions in a row, his tone sounding anxious and excited.

Looking at Yin Zhiyao's reaction, Wang Donglai shook his head gently in his heart.

There is no need to question Yin Zhiyao's professional level. The reason why such a thing happened is very simple. Yin Zhiyao did not actually put himself at the level he should have.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be so careless with the documents he gave him.

Although we can see the advancement of packaging technology, we do not understand the true significance of such packaging.

Weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to survival, arrogance is.

There is no doubt that Yin Zhiyao still has a hint of arrogance towards Wang Donglai deep in his heart.

Seeing Yin Zhiyao react, Wang Donglai turned around and asked Chen Lingyue, "How much do you think this design is worth?"

Chen Lingyue didn't expect Wang Donglai to ask him, but he quickly reacted.

After a moment of silence, he said, "The value is different for different companies!"

"Some domestic companies may offer tens of millions, while others may offer 100 million. But if they sell to Samsung, TJD, Apple or Qualcomm, I'm afraid the price will be in US dollars."

"The bigger the company, the higher the price they can offer for this design!"

When Yin Zhiyao offered 100 million, Chen Lingyue thought it was US dollars and nodded secretly in his heart, thinking that the price was about right.

But it was only later that I realized it.

This one hundred million is in Chinese currency.

The difference between the two is seven times!
Yin Zhiyao was extremely embarrassed at this moment. He had never expected such a situation to happen.

However, despite the embarrassment, he still sat opposite Wang Donglai without showing any expression.

After so many years of life experience, this little scene is naturally not a problem for me.

Wang Donglai could also see Yin Zhiyao's embarrassment, and he did not take Yin Zhiyao's arrogance towards him seriously.

Many times, being young is an advantage, but it is also a disadvantage.

For example, in interpersonal communication, many people will subconsciously look down on themselves.

Wang Donglai is very clear about this.

Wang Donglai looked at Yin Zhiyao seriously and asked, "Mr. Yin, do you know what the topic of the Young Elite Scholars Program I applied for is?"

Yin Zhiyao said without hesitation: "Of course I know, explore the possibility of localizing semiconductors!"

"Based on Mr. Yin's understanding of the domestic semiconductor industry, how many years do you think it will take for China to catch up with the world-class level?" Wang Donglai asked.

Yin Zhiyao shook his head and said somewhat dejectedly: "To be honest, in my opinion, the gap between us and the world-class level is in all aspects. It may take another generation to catch up. Only when a large number of practitioners join this industry can we gradually cultivate localized enterprises, and then gradually achieve breakthroughs in various fields and finally become world-class advanced."

"What do you think of my advanced packaging design concept, Mr. Yin?" Wang Donglai asked again.

"it is good!"

"With this packaging technology, can we overtake others and catch up with the current advanced level of chips?"

Yin Zhiyao thought for a moment and said, "As long as the design and process are not too far behind, we should be able to catch up!"

Wang Donglai already knew the answer, so he was not surprised.

"Mr. Yin's ability is well known, and Zhongwei's actions have greatly promoted the development of domestic semiconductors. I believe Mr. Yin also wants to make a career."

"However, Mr. Yin's Zhongwei mainly conducts research and development on high-end equipment. Although it is important for the entire semiconductor industry, it is still somewhat inconvenient."

"The reason why I gave this packaging design plan to Mr. Yin is that I wanted to prove my scientific research ability to him."

"Now, Mr. Yin, what do you think of the success rate of my research project?"

Wang Donglai looked at Yin Zhiyao and asked very seriously.

This question seemed to stump Yin Zhiyao. After a long while, Yin Zhiyao finally said, "Twenty percent!"

Hearing this answer, Chen Lingyue's face suddenly showed a trace of dissatisfaction, and he immediately said: "Boss Yin, you may not know that this packaging design plan is not just designed by our boss casually, but it is not the result of our company's research for so long."

"Ok?"

Yin Zhiyao was shocked and looked at Wang Donglai in surprise, with a curious look on his face.

Wang Donglai nodded and said, "That's true. I was busy just now completing the other half of the design plan!"

These few words made Yin Zhiyao unable to suppress the shock in his heart.

"hiss……"

Taking a deep breath, Yin Zhiyao began to think rapidly in his mind.

Given the excellence of this packaging design, Yin Zhiyao offered a high price of 100 million before he fully understood it.

Now that I understand it, I give it a higher evaluation.

This is a technology that can enable domestic chips to overtake other technologies in terms of performance.

Although there is a big gap between our chip design and chip manufacturing process and the first-class foreign level, the superior packaging technology can make up for this to a certain extent.

To give an accurate example, the performance score of the most advanced high-tech chips abroad is nine points, while domestic chips are only four or three points. However, with this packaging technology, two chips can be stacked on the same area, which can also increase the score.

After thinking so much, Yin Zhiyao changed his previous estimate of the success rate to: "40%!"

"Professor Wang, this packaging technology is indeed amazing, but semiconductors are not the result of a single aspect, but the result of the combination of many fields."

"High-quality silicon materials, design solutions, lithography machines, packaging, etc. are all very important."

“It is undeniable that this packaging technology can overtake others, but packaging always has its limits. Once foreign major manufacturers push the chip process to 10nm or 7nm, the situation will be different.”

“Unless Professor Wang is confident that by that time, he can still use packaging technology to improve the performance of chips that are so backward to the level of high-end chips.”

Yin Zhiyao sees things very clearly, thinks very clearly, and makes accurate evaluations.

When Wang Donglai heard this, he was not angry. Instead, he smiled and said, "Mr. Yin, you are indeed worthy of being called 'one of the most successful Chinese in Silicon Valley'. Your insights are indeed profound."

"Packaging technology is only a temporary means of overtaking others. If we want to truly become world-class, we must not leave any weaknesses behind."

"From high-quality silicon materials and photoresists to silicon wafer single crystals, photolithography machines, etching equipment, coating and developing machines and other high-end equipment, as well as EDA design software, these aspects need to be conquered one by one in China."

"It is only safe if we can form an independent, self-reliant and controllable industrial chain that is first-class."

"So, I don't think it's enough to just lead the packaging technology for the time being. This is only temporary. We must also seize the time to achieve breakthroughs in other areas."

"And this is the purpose of my trip to the Magic City this time!"

After hearing this, Yin Zhiyao understood everything in his heart. (End of this chapter)
