Zhang Rujing nodded again, Fang Chen's words really spoke to his heart.

To engage in chips, it is really technology, experience, money and energy background, all of which are indispensable.

The chip is undoubtedly a product with extremely high-tech attributes, representing the top scientific and technological level of modern society, and is the crystallization of real modern technology.

Experience is an indispensable thing, and even for those of them who are engaged in chips, there is a saying, that is, "you have to sit on the cold bench for ten years".

Moreover, the cold bench in this decade needs to be counted from the master's degree, not the undergraduate level.

Because the undergraduate stage is only to absorb knowledge, and does not have any scientific research ability, only when you become a graduate student and really get in touch with scientific research, can you start to count, and then go to the doctorate, and after the doctoral graduation, you can work for four or five years, which is almost considered to be an entry.

But if you want to be independent, you don't just need to work hard, you need extraordinary ingenuity.

Of course, it's not that these chip researchers with ten years of experience don't have ingenuity.

On the contrary, those who can be admitted to the world's top universities, go all the way to a doctorate, successfully graduate, and then work in a chip company for four or five years, and can still work competently, are all the world's most brilliant and unique existences.

But the chip industry is too difficult and too difficult, even if there is no one in ten thousand, it is not enough, it takes one in 100,000, or even one in a million.

And he apparently is!

Zhang Rujing's face showed a trace of pride.

His master's degree is ranked among the top 50 in the world in terms of comprehensive ability, the level of engineering physics is at least in the top 20, the school is classified as a very high research university by the Carnegie Foundation, and is also rated as an R1 doctoral university, the school has produced 4 Nobel Prizes, 5 Pulitzer Prizes and 3 Fields Medal winners, many astronauts and 1 US president, even the father of Chinese physics, Mr. Wu Dayou, who has taught at the State University of New York at Buffalo for many years.

The doctoral school is a well-known private research university, Southern Methodist University, although this university is only ranked around 100 in the world, but it is the leading research university in the United States in chip research.

Because the chairman of Texas Instruments, as well as many major scientific researchers, graduated from Southern Methodist University, he still went to Texas Instruments, so he was admitted to Southern Methodist University.

After all, Southern Methodist University and Texas Instruments are both located in Texas, and Southern Methodist University has almost become Texas Instruments' own home.

It is precisely because of this that he was able to join the team of Jack Kilby, one of the two inventors of integrated circuits, the Nobel Laureate in Physics, as soon as he graduated.

Then, after eight years of working in the research institute, he was responsible for building a new chip factory for Texas Instruments as a senior researcher at Texas Instruments, and he had already built 12 chip factories for Texas Instruments in Texas, Italy, Southeast Asia, and Dongwei, and was known as the "factory building madman".

He's even going to Singapore to build a new factory for Texas Instruments.

In terms of building a chip factory, how to make the chip factory quickly on the right track and make a quick profit, no one can really be stronger than him!

It is precisely because of his talent in building factories that he will become one of the few Chinese vice presidents of Texas Instruments like his old boss Shao Zifan.

And in terms of money and background, Fang Chen is not only not lacking, but even in the world, it is second to none.

What kind of rich people in the world are a terrifying concept.

Especially Fang Chen's background, which is really rare in a place like China, which is seriously regarded as a beast of predence in Western countries.

Who would dare to imagine that a Chinese man could become the number one benefactor of the US president? However, he extended a powerful helping hand when the US president's reputation was not obvious and he was already facing defeat.

This is simply what modern Lü Buwei is.

Moreover, it can be seen that Clinton is also very grateful to Fang Chen, otherwise he would not have invited Fang Chen to accompany him to St. John's Cathedral to personally witness his prayer to God.

The new president's prayer to God is a very serious matter, and it is also a matter of great intimacy between the companion and the president.

Because St. John's Cathedral is not large, it can only accommodate about 100 people to enter, which means that those who can enter St. John's Cathedral are definitely the closest people to the president.

And Fang Chen definitely didn't go in with a hundred cranes, but at least the front.

This brings great convenience, after all, you must know that the most advanced technology in the chip industry is in the United States, in order to start better quickly, it is indispensable to introduce some mature technologies in the United States.

For a country like China, which is still under the Batumi embargo and is hostile to the United States, it is not easy to introduce these technologies, even backward technologies are relatively difficult.

But Fang Chen's background and relationship with the president of the United States avoids this very well and can reduce a lot of trouble.

Not to mention in Huaxia, what Fang Chen wants to do, he must be able to get the green light all the way, whether it is approval, land, taxes, imports, etc., he can get the best policies.

The more he thought about it, the brighter the light in Zhang Rujing's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he suddenly found that it seemed that Fang Chen was the best partner for him to build a chip factory in Huaxia.

Even in the world, there is no better and more suitable person than Fang Chen.

"And now Mr. Zhang and I, the biggest problem you face is that there are not enough talents, Mr. Zhang, you are sure how many people you can bring to follow you to Huaxia to build a factory. Fang Chen looked at Zhang Rujing and asked meaningfully.

Making chips is by no means a single person who can succeed alone, and it requires a large number of talents.

Obviously, Huaxia does not have such talents, and can only be cultivated from the outside, to be precise, only by the United States, and it is necessary to ensure that these talents are close to China and are willing to return to China.

This is also the reason why around the turn of the millennium, a large number of semiconductor talents with overseas study experience and working in top chip companies for many years returned to China during this period.

In the tide of the return of the wild goose flying eastward, Deng Zhonghan of Vimicro returned to China in 1999, Wu Ping and Chen Datong of Spreadtrum returned to China in 2001, Dai Weimin of VeriSilicon returned to China in 2002, and Zhu Yiming of GigaDevice returned to China in 2004.

After 2000, Huaxia's chip industry entered an era of returnee entrepreneurship and the rise of private enterprises.

There is no way, the electronics, computer, and communication science and engineering students trained in the early days of China's reform and opening up took the lead in staying abroad in the 80s, and stayed in the semiconductor industry in the United States after graduation, and their knowledge and ability have been exercised.

After the millennium, this group of people has accumulated enough technical precipitation and management experience before they can begin to return to China from the other side of the ocean to start a business.

It can be said that he is extremely lacking in talents now, whether it is a top talent like Zhang Rujing, or a general chip scientific research and technical personnel, or even a skilled worker in the chip factory, he has no one.

And the cultivation of talents, is not like planting vegetables, after sowing seeds, you can harvest in a few months, you need to be a three-year apprentice to learn a turning and milling tongs.

This is also an important reason why he wants to find Zhang Rujing now, he needs to let Zhang Rujing train talents for him.

Hearing Fang Chen say this, Zhang Rujing said with some embarrassment: "I can probably bring you seventy or eighty talents who are willing to come to work in Huaxia, but don't worry, these people are the technical backbones of Texas Instruments, Intel, and AMD, and they are all Chinese." ”

In the United States, there are a large number of Chinese Americans working in chip companies, and he has been trying to find like-minded people like him who want to contribute to the chip industry, chip security, and national development in China.

But there are really not many people who have confided in him this kind of thought, and there are only seventy or eighty people who he is really confident that he can pull over.

Fang Chen scratched the back of his head, he was somewhat disappointed in this number, there are about tens of thousands of Chinese Americans working in chips in the United States, although Zhang Rujing can't know them all, but there are only seventy or eighty people, which is really too little.

In his previous life, when Zhang Rujing left Dashi and came to Huaxia to found SMIC, he brought more than 300 people with him, but now it is good, not even half, only a quarter.

But after thinking about it, Fang Chen also understood.

Although Zhang Rujing's entrepreneurship in Dashi was relatively unsuccessful, after all, he still pulled up the shelf and got on the right track, with a large number of company employees, and there are indeed a lot of chip practitioners over there.

In addition, TSMC mixed a lot of sand for Zhang Rujing to come in, so it is not surprising that there are more than 300 people.

Here, it is only 1993, and there are still four years before Zhang Rujing left Texas Instruments in his previous life, and it is still possible to find more than twenty or thirty like-minded people in these four years.

"So, from now on, I need you to train a group of talents for my Texas Instruments factory in Singapore, from design and R&D talents, to product engineers, to basic operators, I want them all!" Fang Chen looked at Zhang Rujing and said word by word.

Zhang Rujing was suddenly frightened by Fang Chen's words, and his heart set off thousands of waves, he really never expected that Fang Chen would actually have such an idea, this is also too gloomy.

After a long time, Zhang Rujing came back to his senses, and looked at Fang Chen with an inexplicable expression, he is really a five-body cast to the ground that Fang Chen admires now, a ghost, a ghost!

At such a young age, it is really not without reason that Fang Chen has such an identity and status from scratch.

I actually want to use Texas Instruments' factory to cultivate talents for myself!

He really didn't know what kind of head he had to come up with such a ghostly idea.

Fang Chen was really smart at this time, which was terrifying.

But he had to admit that Fang Chen's hand was indeed very feasible.

After all, it is no surprise that most of the employees in any factory are locals, and only a few executives are sent by the head office.

If all of them are from the location of the head office, such as the United States, they send people to work in the factory in Singapore, not to mention whether the cost is affordable or not, the key is why bother.

Since they are all Americans, why build factories in Italy, Dongwa, and Singapore, is it possible that the United States, which has a land area of 9 million square kilometers and ranks fourth in the world, can't even put down a few high-value-added chip factories?

The reason why Texas Instruments opened its factories in Italy, Dongwa, and even now Southeast Asia is because of the low cost in Southeast Asia, especially the low labor wages.

And Singapore, as a country dominated by Chinese, if Fang Chen wants to mix three or four hundred Chinese into it, there is absolutely no problem at all.

After all, in the projection, although the factory in Singapore is not large, it also has a scale of at least 3,000 people, how can there be a problem with a tenth of the people.

Moreover, not everyone can clearly know what the identity background of the colleague next to them is.

Especially for white people, all yellow people look the same, and if you don't look at the ID card, they may not even recognize their own employees.

In addition, isn't there still his care, as the vice president of Texas Instruments in charge of managing chip factories, these chip factories are under his management, and he will not have much problem appointing a few cronies to serve in the Singapore factory.

It's just that this time it's possible, there are more people sent than before, the general manager, the deputy general manager, and the total number of more than a dozen people will be his, and these people are all Chinese.

Even, he thought about the reason, as a country of Chinese descent, it would be easier for Singapore to send Chinese people to manage.

Moreover, the chip factory in Texas Instruments has always been a relatively chicken, bitter existence, no one will pay attention to so much, otherwise these dozen factories would not be handed over to him to manage.

The only difficulty is whether Fang Chen can choose the right person to go to the Singapore factory.

After all, it's not just a matter of choosing a few cats and dogs to be able to take on this position with a special mission.

First of all, you must be loyal to Huaxia, you can't go out, you can't come back, by the way, there will be another wave of accusations, and a lot of people will be implicated, wouldn't it be a loss to the lady and a soldier.

The second is to be smart, the person who makes chips, even if it is just a factory worker, must be very smart, otherwise he will not be able to operate those complex machines at all.

Of course, like some important ones, such as lithography machines, etching machines, ion implanters, etc., I am afraid that there are also master's degree graduates or above in related majors.

He thinks that since Fang Chen wants to send people from the past to learn the real thing, he needs to at least send people who have graduated from a university or even a master's degree in China.

In addition, it is necessary to keep a low profile and endure the bitterness, after all, this is a foreign land thousands of miles away, and it is also burdened with such a big mission, if you can't bear it, it will be a big mess.
