Rebirth of the Wild Age

In the factory in Zhangjiang Park, a batch of equipment that has just been shipped back to China is undergoing commissioning.

Zhang Rujing took Song Weiyang all the way. He didn't take the initiative to speak to the employees, and the employees completely regarded him as non-existent, and they were all busy with their work.

Song Weiyang laughed at himself: "A few years ago, I wanted to start a chip manufacturing company. I had a little money at the time, so I wanted to play with cutting-edge technology on a whim. After asking Academician Ni carefully, I was scared to dispel the whimsical ideas. ."

"Hahaha!" Zhang Rujing smiled happily.

A staunch nationalist like Academician Ni, who wants to make his own chips and operating systems, but he dare not say that he opens a chip factory, so he can only design chips for the Wanwan company to manufacture.

There are three difficulties: one is money, the other is people, and the third is machines.

Among these three difficult factors, money is the best solution. If the government really wants to mess up, it can make up tens of billions of dollars.

The real difficulties are talents and machines. In the past 20 years, the Chinese government has spent all sorts of money to develop semiconductors. But without qualified talents, the teachers and students of Tsinghua University and the University of Science and Technology of China cannot master relevant technologies out of thin air. Those who were responsible for the introduction of technology at that time were all those who grew up in the 1960s and 1970s. What knowledge could they learn? Even if you spend money to introduce technology, you can't fully understand the technology in front of other people's drawings every day, let alone further technical research and development.

Leaders who want to make a difference think about it. Since there are no good talents, let's take the time to cultivate them slowly. So they continue to spend money to introduce technology, equipment, and joint ventures with multinational companies, while engaging in production practices, while accumulating technology and talents. This idea is feasible in other industries, including many manufacturing industries, and it has indeed succeeded.

However, there is something called "Moore's Law", an organization called "Batumi", and an agreement called "Wassenaar Agreement".

The content of Moore's Law is: when the price remains the same, the number of components that an integrated computer can hold will double about every 18-24 months, and the performance will also double.

The Batumi and Wassenaar agreements stipulate that the export of the most advanced high-tech equipment to China is restricted, and the technological equipment that can be approved for export is usually two generations later than the most advanced (plus the time of introduction and landing and digestion, the technology that China has obtained Usually three generations behind).

The superposition of these several things has led to the introduction of a large number of backward technologies and equipment in China. It may be barely enough for the first year or two, but before it can be digested, these technologies and equipment have been completely eliminated. As a result, the national support project failed. After a few years, the government was still not reconciled and used billions of yuan to import technology and equipment. As a result, it was quickly eliminated.

Therefore, Song Weiyang didn't understand the fart a few years ago. A little money in his hand is like making chips. After he understands the truth, he quickly dismisses the idea. Apart from other things, he can't buy the equipment. It's a **** to buy things that are two or three generations behind!

Now Song Weiyang is very curious, staring at the equipment in the factory and asking: "Mr. Zhang, how did you get these advanced equipment?"

Zhang Rujing smiled and said, "Guess."

Song Weiyang said: "I heard a rumor that you have asked five churches in the United States to guarantee that SMIC's chip technology will not be used for military purposes, and finally obtained the export license for these devices."

"Hahahaha," Zhang Rujing smiled crookedly, "this statement is very imaginative."

Song Weiyang tentatively asked: "Goldman Sachs is quietly using it?"

Zhang Rujing nodded and said: "The guarantees provided by Goldman Sachs and Walden also paid to lobby some U.S. departments."

"This makes sense." Song Weiyang figured it out instantly.

Last year, Zhang Rujing was forced to leave World University Semiconductor and declared that he would start a company in the mainland. The news broke that many companies in mainland China, Wanwan, Singapore, and the United States even contacted Zhang Rujing to send him money, raising US$1 billion in two months.

Among them are Goldman Sachs and Walden, both companies with huge influence in the United States. It is relatively simple for them to help obtain high-end technical equipment.

Among the top ten shareholders of SMIC, Goldman Sachs has the first share, Walden has the second share, China Technology has the third share, Shanghai Industrial (state-owned enterprise) has the fourth share, and Handing (U.S.) has the fifth share. Xiangfeng (Singapore) occupies the sixth share, and to put it bluntly is a joint venture company of international origin.

Not all of the 300-person team brought by Zhang Rujing came from Wanwan. There were also Singaporean programmers, and even those from Texas Instruments. The company’s executives also included Americans, Italians and other international friends. In the future, we will join the Returnees School and Civil School (Tsinghua), together with the founding veteran Wanwan School. There are so many and chaotic factions that only Zhang Rujing can control the scene.

When SMIC had a lawsuit and its future was hopeless, many foreign employees left voluntarily. Shareholders such as Goldman Sachs also reduced their holdings, and domestic companies took the opportunity to increase investment, turning SMIC into a "Chinese ancestry."

In this case, after every new president takes office, the first question is not to grasp the technology and the market, but how to grasp the power of the company and balance the factional struggle. The strong president directly convinced me and let me go if he didn't obey; the weak president could only be a peacemaker, and it was difficult to develop in the friction; the most useless president directly broke SMIC.

Moreover, the three major shareholders are not worried, because the shareholding ratio is too close, no one can really control the company, and they can play with each other.

Standing in the factory workshop, Song Weiyang suddenly had an idea, that is, let SMIC experience a big setback. Only at the company's most dangerous moment, foreign shareholders such as Goldman Sachs, Walden, Handing, and Xiangfeng will be willing to sell their equity, and China Technology will have the opportunity to control SMIC.

You know, Zhang Rujing's ability is too strong, with 10 billion yuan in start-up capital in his hand, he actually made SMIC the fourth place in the world in two years. If this kind of golden egg-laying hen is not breathlessly suppressed, how could those foreign shareholders be willing to let go?

And if China Science and Technology cannot achieve a controlling stake, how to ensure the long-term stable development of SMIC?

So let TSMC sue for infringement and bring SMIC to the point of bankruptcy, and China China will make another money to take over, and by the way, Zhang Rujing, the president who can calm the scene, will be saved!

There is also focus on the absorption and training of talents, one is to recruit sea turtles, and the other is to make blood by oneself.

As we said earlier, there were no relevant talents in China in the 1990s, but they suddenly appeared after 2000.

These talents are not made out of thin air. They must complete their undergraduate studies in China, then go to the United States for further studies, and work in multinational companies for several years in order to master the truly practical cutting-edge semiconductor technology. It takes at least 10 years for these students to go abroad to return, otherwise they will be half-finished products!

That is to say, it must be the talents who went abroad in the 1980s to prop up the sky of China's semiconductors after returning to China.

In history ~www.readwn.com~, most of the bigwigs in China's chip manufacturing industry returned to China one after another after 2000, and many of them were dug out by Huawei and ZTE.

After 2000, there was a wave of sea turtles returning to China, because in this year the "Opinions on Encouraging High-level Overseas Study Abroad Talents to Return to China" was promulgated, calling on state-owned enterprises and institutions to introduce sea turtles on their own. If these sea turtles preside over scientific research projects after returning to China, and they are of advanced international level or urgently needed domestic projects, the state will directly provide supporting funds for scientific research.

After returning to China, these sea turtles can hold important positions and can continue to receive US green cards, which was never allowed in the past. Returning to work in China for a period of time and giving up the U.S. green card, you can still serve as the legal representative of state-owned enterprises and institutions. This is also a rule that only existed after 2000. If you have previously received a U.S. green card, you cannot serve as a state-owned company unless approved by special exceptions. Legal persons of enterprises and institutions.

Even if the family members of these sea turtles live abroad, their income can be remitted directly in the form of foreign exchange, and there is a special family leave each year for overseas visits. If the family is moved back to China, the spouse’s work must be solved, and the children’s schooling must also be solved. It even stipulates that the nearest bilingual school and bilingual class must be arranged with the best conditions. These turtles’ children can get extra points for taking the high school entrance examination and college entrance examination.

As soon as this "Opinion" for high-level sea turtles came out, it immediately triggered a wave of overseas returnees in the early 21st century. These returning sea turtles were later flooded with various cutting-edge domestic industries.

Moreover, many senior turtles do not need these benefits, and it is not uncommon for the country to solve the lives of wives and children, but they still chose to resign and return to the country with a high salary. Because this policy sends out a special signal that the country attaches great importance to high-end technical talents, and they can give a green light all the way when they return to their country to start a business!
