My 1999

Xu Liang's mood at this time can be described as "hungry for talents". He eagerly hopes that his team of talents will grow rapidly and narrow the gap with the international leading level as soon as possible.

It’s not just about fighting for national science and technology, it’s also about removing the rope around Kunlun Industrial’s neck.

"Mr. Xu, I know a talent. His work has not been going well recently. Maybe you can try to recruit him." Zeng Shuyu said.

Xu Liang made a continue gesture.

"The person I recommend is called Liang Mengsong. He lives up to his name and is very powerful."

"He was born in Bayan Province in 1952. He first obtained bachelor's and master's degrees from the Department of Electrical Engineering of National Cheng Kung University in Bayan, and then received a doctorate in electrical engineering from the University of California, Berkeley. After graduation, he entered the American Processor Major manufacturer AMD…”

Xu Liang's eyes lit up. He had naturally heard of Liang Mengsong's name, and there was no need to elaborate on his awesomeness.

But Zeng Shuyu was worried that the boss did not understand the power of this technical expert, so he continued to introduce hard:

"In the years when Liang Mengsong worked at AMD, in addition to winning more than 180 technology patents, he also published more than 350 related technical papers, and his performance was a genius.

1D, turned to TSMC and served successively as an engineer and senior R\u0026D director. He has worked at TSMC for a total of fifteen years.

During this period, he first helped TSMC win the Intel foundry order that it had been pursuing for several years, and then led the team to skip the 150nm process technology and directly complete the breakthrough of the 130nm process.

This allows TSMC, which was originally two generations behind Intel and IBM, to stand on the same starting line as these two American giants.

Immediately afterwards, TSMC completed its overtake of IBM in 2003 and became famous in the 130-nanometer battle.

Among them, the one who contributed the most was Jiang Shangyi, followed by Liang Mengsong.

Zhang Zhongmou resigned the year before last, and Jiang Shangyi retired last year. The outside world naturally believed that Liang Mengsong would take over the position of vice president of R\u0026D.

However, under the coercion of some capital, this position fell to someone else. Liang Mengsong was transferred to the bench and served as the director of some special project.

I had a chat with him some time ago. In his words, he seemed to be unconvinced by the decision of TSMC’s upper management. He also told me that Samsung was also poaching him.

In addition, his wife is also of Korean descent, so he was very tempted by Samsung's offer.

I think we can completely intervene and bring Liang Mengsong to Kunlun Industrial Group instead of letting him join Samsung.

I can guarantee that Liang Mengsong is definitely a good chip maker and will not be worse than anyone else. He is definitely the best among the Chinese and overseas Chinese. "

Xu Liang nodded and said nothing. There is no doubt that Liang Meng is a real strong man in the chip industry.

This talent in his previous life finally agreed to join Samsung.

In order to show enough courtesy, Samsung even sent a special plane to Wanwan to pick up Liang Mengsong and his team.

Of course, Liang Mengsong did not live up to this courtesy and trust.

Two years after joining Samsung, he led the team to overtake TSMC in the 14nm process.

Later, TSMC used various methods to sue Samsung and Liang Mengsong, forcing this top talent to quit Samsung and join SMIC as CEO.

During his time at SMIC, Liang Mengsong once again proved his talent and became a pillar of talent like a white jade pillar holding the sky and a purple golden beam across the sea.

However, SMIC ignored Soso and did not give Liang Mengsong corresponding treatment, which almost led to the loss of talent.

For such a great talent, Xu Liang, who is eager for talents, will naturally not let him go, and his eyes will shine.

"Can you convince Liang Mengsong to join the company?"

Zeng Shuyu nodded: "I don't think it's a big problem.

We are a new company, full of energy and strong capital, and Liang Mengsong is not a saint, so he should not be able to refuse a good opportunity to splash ink on a piece of white paper. "

Xu Liang pondered for a moment: "In this way, you tell him that if he agrees to join Kunlun Industrial Group, I can give him the position of CEO of the chip and Internet of Things business groups, and the investment in this company will not be less than 10 billion US dollars."

"Ten billion dollars?"

Zeng Shuyu felt happy.

The big boss is really willing to spend money on technology.

Look at SMIC and BOE as the best examples.

Even the Torch New Energy Company that he was responsible for before, in addition to the R\u0026D funds he earned, he also received a R\u0026D expenditure of 1 billion Huaxia coins from the headquarters every year.

This shows the big boss’ attitude towards high technology and research and development.

"Mr. Xu, with your words, I will definitely recruit Liang Mengsong."

"Then I'll be waiting for your good news."

Xu Liang looked at the executives on the screen.

“Kunlun Industrial Group will never be stingy with talents and will provide the best treatment we can provide.

Technology is productivity, and technology is core competitiveness. This can be included in our core development strategy. "

Everyone nodded. The big boss showed generosity and generosity that they rarely see from domestic entrepreneurs.

No one thinks this is bad, after all, almost all of them have been abroad.

People who understand technical blockades and technical barriers know how much benefit it can bring once a technology breakthrough is made, and the salary is nothing at all.

"Mr. Xu, once Liang Mengsong joins our group and achieves something, he will definitely be chased by TSMC.

This is not my wild guess. SMIC’s experience has already explained everything.

We must not take non-compete agreements, intellectual property rights and other potential legal disputes lightly. "

Xu Liang nodded. Even if Zeng Shuyan didn't remind him, he would have thought of this.

TSMC is ruthless and can no longer be regarded as a Chinese company. Those Taiwanese bastards have no patriotism in their eyes and have long been reduced to pawns of foreign capital.

"Don't worry, I will be responsible for solving TSMC's suppression. "

Xu Liang said with a smile.

It's just a lawsuit, and the resources he has in his hands crush TSMC.

If the other party dares to play dirty tricks in private, that's even better, his Black and White Impermanence hasn't taken action for a long time.

Seeing that the boss has made a decision, Zeng Shuyan shut up tactfully and began to think about how to persuade Liang Mengsong.

"Dr. Yi Zhiyao of Zhongwei, who is over 60 years old, still led the team back to China three years ago, aiming to build a domestic plasma etcher..."

"Yang Peixi, born in 1971, obtained a Ph.D. in Chemistry from Harvard University at the age of 26. He is now a tenured professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of California, Berkeley, and is also a top young scientist in the field of semiconductor nanomaterials..."

"Dai Weijin, Dai Weili, Dai Weimin and other three Dai brothers and sisters... …”

……

The executives present spoke one after another, recommending the semiconductor talents they knew. Some have returned to China to start companies, and some are still in the United States.

You don’t know until you hear it, and you’ll be shocked when you hear it.

Xu Liang just asked casually, and found that there are so many scientific and technological talents in the semiconductor field that they can’t be counted.

This is also the current situation. There are many smart and talented people among Chinese. Many of the outstanding people trained in science and engineering in colleges and universities every year go to the United States. A considerable number of them flow into the semiconductor field and gradually become industry experts.

There are so many names that Xu Liang can’t remember them at all, so he waved his hand to stop.

“Okay, okay, after the meeting, you can send me an email to recommend the candidates you approve of, and I will arrange someone to contact them. ”

Hearing this, the extremely enthusiastic internal recommendation activity came to a temporary end.

Xu Liang had a clear understanding that the era of individual heroes fighting alone in the semiconductor industry had passed. Even if top talents were recruited, they would still be at a loss if they lacked supporting conditions.

In other words, top talents are critical, but more critical is a mature technical team.

In addition to recruiting some top talents, they also need to send headhunters to dig out some engineers with mature skills to serve as the backbone of research and development.

It’s just that there is no need to discuss this matter at the meeting. He already has a plan in mind.

The army has already set out. As long as the name is made and the signboard is polished, talents from all directions will flock in.

Kunlun Industrial Group is already very large now. Integrating various subsidiaries and business groups is a It is a long and detailed process.

After handing over the corresponding tasks, Xu Liang ended the video conference.

The establishment of Kunlun Industrial Group involves more than a dozen companies, including finance, personnel, management system, marketing channels and other aspects. The situation is very complicated.

It is not a video conference at all, nor can it be sorted out in ten days or half a month.

So Xu Liang's plan is to build the framework this year.

With Kunlun Technology as the core, slowly fill it in.

Slowly integrate one company after another, and spend three to five years to integrate Kunlun Industrial Group.

Slow work makes fine work.

——

After the meeting, I had lunch at noon and took a short nap. I had just washed my face when Li Jinling pushed the door and walked in.

"Mr. Xu, Mr. Peng from Torch is here."

"Let him in."

Not long after, Peng Zhiyu, dressed in a suit and tie, walked in.

"Mr. Xu."

"Old Peng, come and sit down. Yesterday a friend just gave me the top Biluochun that was almost picked this year. It's just right that you come today and try it together. "

As he said that, he picked up the teapot and poured a cup for Peng Zhiyu.

After saying 'thank you', Peng Zhiyu smiled and said, "The tea here is still the best, it smells good."

"Haha, I'll get you some later, take it back and drink it slowly."

"Then I'll be disrespectful to refuse it."

"Why should we be polite to each other?"

After three rounds of tea, Xu Liang smiled.

"The performance of Torch in the first two quarters of this year is very good, you have worked hard. ”

Since the successful acquisition of XCMG at the beginning of last year, Torch, which once had four business segments, has become five business segments.

Heavy machinery business, truck business, auto parts business, garden machinery business and power tool business.

In the first two quarters of 2007, XCMG's main products, lifting machinery and road machinery, sold more than 10,000 units, with total revenue exceeding 17.65 billion Chinese yuan.

For the truck business, with the completion of Torch's new automobile factory in Weixian, the two expansion projects of Changan and Shancheng were put into production.

The production capacity of Torch's truck business has soared from 100,000 units to 270,000 units.

Heavy trucks above 15 tons are sold at 6. The total sales of 90,000 units surpassed that of Sinotruk and FAW.

The sales of medium-sized trucks of 10-15 tons also increased from less than 2,000 units to 6,700 units.

Although it is still far behind Dongfeng and FAW, it is very close to the third Rongcheng Wangpai and the fourth JAC.

Light trucks below 10 tons have always been the weak point of Torch Truck's business. Before Xu Liang's acquisition, the annual sales volume was less than 10,000, not even among the top ten in the country, and only had some influence in Changan.

With huge financial support, light trucks became the focus of Torch Truck's business development in the past few years, and a lot of resources were invested in it.

Sales have increased year by year.

In the two quarters of this year, sales have exceeded 37,000 vehicles.

Although it is still not as good as giants such as Foton and Dongfeng, it is still making rapid progress.

As for the micro-truck market, Torch has not set foot in the light-duty truck market before it has developed.

Even so, the revenue of Torch truck business in the two quarters of this year exceeded 5 billion Chinese dollars.

Plus the auto parts business, garden machinery and power tools.

The total revenue of the entire Torch Group in the two quarters of 2007 exceeded 34 billion Chinese dollars, the net profit exceeded 5.764 billion Chinese dollars, and the total assets reached 27.8 billion Chinese dollars.

Cash flow is 5.85 billion Chinese dollars, and total liabilities are 7.359 billion Chinese dollars.

Among them, overseas market revenue accounts for nearly 30% of total revenue.

Now the national automobile market is expanding rapidly, with an annual growth rate of nearly 40%.

Torch Group is the country's largest leader in auto parts, garden machinery and power tools, G2 in heavy machinery, and top 3 in the truck business.

It has a growing reputation in the business community across the country and even has a certain reputation in the world.

Facing the big boss's praise, Peng Zhiyu also showed a smile on his face.

However, Xu Liang was still keenly aware of a trace of sadness between his brows.

Obviously, he also knew about his several attempts to split the torch.

In this case, Xu Liang didn't intend to keep it secret anymore.

“Torch Group is getting bigger and bigger, with five segments, more than 40 subsidiaries, and hundreds of products. It looks like a dazzling array of products and is developing well.

However, several key indicators such as net return rate and net growth rate are not outstanding compared with the same industry, and some of them are even at the bottom. "

Throw the pile of information at hand over.

"Take a look."

After Peng Zhiyu took it and took a look at it, his expression changed instantly.

"Mr. Xu, it's my mismanagement. Don't worry, I will deal with all these black sheep as soon as I get back."

This document is clearly a list of people who have been involved in corruption and bribery within the Torch Group.

"You have focused most of your energy on integrating the XCMG Group during this period, and it is inevitable that you will not take into account other sectors of the company. Coupled with the stinky problems left over from the Delong era, I can understand if things go wrong.

But this also shows that Torch still has big problems in management, especially in employee education and supervision. "

Peng Zhiyu opened his mouth, although he wanted to refute.

But the content in this information made him really unsure.

As the CEO of Torch Group, he actually knew that the joint investigation team composed of Hongyan's Audit Department, Security Department and Supervision Department had been investigating violations of regulations and disciplines within the company intermittently.

This kind of thing has never stopped since the day Torch Group was established.

Moreover, Hongyan's investigations rarely resulted in major actions, so he didn't take it to heart.

He didn't expect that the other party would break such a big thunder for him without saying a word.
