Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon
Vol 3 Chapter 1408: Semiconductor master and apprentice
Just as Xia Yu sat down in the conference room for less than ten minutes, the heads of the various laboratories successively arrived.
The heads of the thirty-four laboratories are all men.
Among them, there are Chinese, islanders, Americans, and British.
Anyway, Tiangong Technology Laboratory is adhering to the concept that all talents from all over the world can be used, and it is digging people around the world.
And Lu Chao, in addition to being responsible for the entire Tiangong Technology Laboratory, is also responsible for the department's largest Tiangong Electronics Laboratory.
Tiangong Electronics Laboratory is also the laboratory where it started.
"Chairman, everyone is here."
"Okay, let's just have a meeting."
Xia Yu cleared his throat, glanced around, and said loudly: "I am here today for two purposes, one is to solve the difficulties for everyone, and the other is to use the existing patent resources."
The people in charge who had come to the meeting in a daze, all smiled.
"Let’s start with the photoelectric laboratory, in counterclockwise order."
Xia Yu looked at the person in charge closest to him. In front of him was a sign of "Photoelectric Lab-Duke Byron".
As soon as Xia Yu's voice fell, the white old man Duke Byron nodded to Xia Yu, and then made a report.
"There are currently 64 researchers in the Optoelectronics Laboratory. The main research areas include optical information, optoelectronic components and equipment, optoelectronic materials, optical input, optical storage, optical fiber communications, lasers and other optoelectronic applications."
"Since its establishment, the Optoelectronics Laboratory has developed a total of 112 patents, and last year 47 patents have been developed."
"In terms of R&D investment and output, last year's R&D investment was 212 million Hong Kong dollars, 28 patents were converted, the patent conversion income was 48 million Hong Kong dollars, and the loss was 164 million Hong Kong dollars."
"The current dilemma of the optoelectronic laboratory is the lack of R&D talents, and the patent conversion is relatively weak..."
It took more than two minutes for Duke Byron to finish the introduction, and Xia Yu also used this brief time to record some key information.
After finishing the memorization, he looked at the next one.
Li Yingwei, the head of the communications laboratory, is a scientist dug from the mainland.
Although he has been in Xiangjiang for several years, he still can see his simple style in his clothes, which makes Xia Yu very admired.
"Chairman, the communications laboratory has 71 scientific researchers, the main research and development areas include communication principles, signal processing, information exchange, wireless communications, digital microwave, satellite communications."
"53 patented technologies were developed last year, and our laboratory already has 131 patented technologies."
"Last year’s R&D investment was 191 million Hong Kong dollars, and it was insufficient in terms of technology transformation. At present, only 24 patents have undergone preliminary transformation. Patent conversion income was 34 million Hong Kong dollars, and last year’s loss was 157 million Hong Kong dollars."
Xia Yu nodded secretly, then looked at the next person, it was Dr. Chao Lu.
"Chairman, the electronic laboratory has 122 scientific research personnel. Last year, we applied for 82 technical patents for research and development. The total number of technical patents is 217, of which 147 technologies have been applied. Last year, a total of 182 million Hong Kong dollars in revenue was generated. "
"However, last year's R&D investment reached 247 million Hong Kong dollars, and still suffered a loss of 65 million Hong Kong dollars."
Tiangong Electronics Laboratory, as the strongest laboratory, still suffers serious losses.
Then there is the power laboratory with the second largest number of people. It has made great contributions to the Tiangong Automobile Group, the Tiangong Machinery Group and the Tiangong Electric Manufacturing Group. The person in charge is Dago Kitamura.
According to his report, the power laboratory currently has 107 scientific researchers. Last year, 61 patents were developed. The laboratory also has a total of 139 patents, and 85 technologies have generated value.
In terms of R&D investment, last year it reached 222 million Hong Kong dollars, technology income was 161 million Hong Kong dollars, and still a loss of 61 million Hong Kong dollars.
After that, there are Walkman Laboratory, Acoustics Laboratory, Optical Laboratory, Electromagnetic Engineering Laboratory, New Material Laboratory, Computer Laboratory, Semiconductor Laboratory, Mechanical Transmission Laboratory, Solar Energy Laboratory and so on.
There are only a few dozen people in most laboratories, and even a few dozen people.
And most of these laboratories have invested a lot of research and development, and have also produced a lot of patented technologies in the research and development process, but the number of successful conversions is zero.
In this regard, Xia Yu's mentality is very peaceful.
Although he does not understand all the fields of technology, he understands the most basic R&D procedures and R&D logic.
Patents are also divided into multiple categories such as invention type, practical type and design type.
The heads of the various laboratories in the office introduced the number of patents in their respective laboratories, including these multiple types. Some patents are easy to transform, and some are difficult to transform, and they don’t even see any conversion value for the time being. of.
does not mean that various laboratories deliberately develop such patents that cannot be converted and even have low value.
After all, scientific research itself is constantly trying and exploring. In many cases, a technology is discovered accidentally, but the technology that we want to develop has not yet been developed.
After more than an hour, the heads of the thirty-four laboratories finally completed their reports.
Considering that it was noon, Xia Yu simply announced a temporary adjournment and went to the dining hall with everyone.
After one o'clock noon, everyone returned to the meeting room again.
"I have already understood the situation of each laboratory. Regarding the transformation of technology patents, you should not be under pressure. This is not your responsibility."
"The reason why the electronic laboratory, power laboratory, walkman laboratory and other laboratories have more technology patent conversions, it is because the company has a corresponding company to commercialize it."
"The even bigger reason is that these technologies were commissioned by these companies to develop them on a purposeful basis, and they can be put into commercialization immediately after they are developed."
"More laboratories are still in the stage of infinite scientific research and lack pertinence because there is no corresponding company under the group."
"Obviously, the causality is reversed."
Speaking of this, Xia Yu noticed that many of the laboratory leaders nodded, apparently speaking to their hearts.
"But I don't want to blame everyone. Any technology is valuable. If you don't use it, it will only be too late."
"But scientific research requires huge financial support. Last year, 3.758 billion Hong Kong dollars was invested in research and development, and maybe one day it will reach tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars, or even tens of billions of dollars!"
"At that time, it was very unrealistic to rely solely on the investment of the Tiangong Group."
"So from now on, we must change, embark on the road of integrating production and research, develop technologies that are more likely to generate value, and then let the technology generate huge value, feed back the laboratory, and form a virtuous circle."
"Papa Papa..."
After Xia Yu finished speaking, there was a burst of warm applause in the conference room.
Ten seconds later, Xia Yu pressed his palm down in the air, and the applause soon disappeared.
"Everyone is engaged in scientific research. You only need to devote yourself to research. Later, I will set up a series of companies to connect various laboratories, so that the pressure of technology transformation can be eliminated."
"Apart from this difficulty, what difficulties do you have? Talk freely today, and I will try my best to solve them."
As soon as Xia Yu's voice fell, a white man stood up. This was Zakley Norton, the head of the Optical Laboratory.
"Chairman, the biggest problem we encounter now is the personnel problem. There are too few researchers with sufficient level."
As soon as he finished speaking, another person stood up and agreed.
...
In the following time, all the questions that everyone responded to Xia Yu were recorded.
In fact, there are not many problems, that is, lack of people, lack of top-notch laboratory equipment, and so on.
In this regard, Xia Yu promised on the spot that he would apply to the Hong Kong government to formulate a generous talent immigration policy, and at the same time encourage everyone to bring in the elites they know, so that he will try his best to create a good scientific research environment.
On the top experimental equipment, Xia Yu also promised to let everyone make a list, and he would try his best to arrange for someone to get it back.
The meeting finally ended at 3:30 in the afternoon.
Just after announcing the end, Xia Yu suddenly stopped someone.
is the head of the semiconductor laboratory Hu Zhengming!
This scientist who was originally a professor in the Department of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science at the University of California, Berkeley, is a famous big cow in later generations.
is not only a foreign academician of the China Academy of Sciences, he invented the fin-type field effect transistor, but also the biggest behind-the-scenes hero of TSMC.
Later TSMC’s "chip madman" Liang Mengsong was also his disciple.
When at TSMC, Liang Mengsong produced more than 500 semiconductor patents, and was able to beat ibm in the research and development of the 130-nanometer copper process.
then led TSMC to complete 28nm, 14nm, 12nm and n+1 technology into mass production, and even completed the development of 7nm technology, making TSMC the world's top chip manufacturer.
It is worth mentioning that Liang Mengsong was forced to leave TSMC for a period of time due to his failure in the workplace and went to South Korea to teach, but it was Samsung Semiconductor’s students who led Samsung Semiconductor to surpass TSMC in the 16nm and 14nm chip processes. , And therefore won the big orders of Apple and Qualcomm, and continue to take off.
Of course, now his disciple Liang Mengsong also came to Xiangjiang with him and joined the Tiangong Semiconductor Laboratory.
With these two future technology masters, master and apprentice, Xia Yu is full of expectations in terms of research and development.
Just because of the current international situation, Xia Yu hopes to boost their growth and also allow his own semiconductor field layout to take shape quickly.
