Shougang?

Chip?

Hearing these two completely different and irrelevant words being put together, Fang Chen suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of astonishment.

Shougang, as the name suggests, Capital Iron and Steel Plant.

Shougang began to build a large steel plant by the ruling Duan Qirui, and it is also one of the earliest steel plants in China, and it is one of the largest steel plants in China so far, with an estimated steel output of more than 7 million tons this year.

If this output can be achieved, Shougang will surpass Anshan Iron and Steel for the first time, remove the words "one of the largest steel mills in China", and become the largest steel mill in Huaxia Iron and Steel output.

But no matter how you think about such a leading steel plant in China, it seems that it has nothing to do with chips, which are extremely high-tech attributes and are known as chips in the world.

But after thinking about it carefully, Fang Chen's expression suddenly became a little weird, Shougang and chips can really be put together, and people are also profitable, as Zhang Rujing said.

In December 1991, Shougang shouted the slogan of "Shougang will not be surnamed steel in the future", cross-border production of chips, and established a joint venture with Dongwei Electric.

Well, that's right, Dongwei Electric is the second largest communication equipment company in Dongwei that fought to the death with Qingtian Communications on the 04 machine before, and Ryo Doi, the company that served as the general manager of Huaxia Company.

In addition to communication equipment, we also provide IT solutions, network solutions, and electronic equipment.

Even communication equipment is only one part of the network solution, which also includes the provision of broadband systems, mobile and wireless communication network systems, mobile phones, broadcasting and other systems.

IT solutions are the provision of software, hardware and related services to commercial enterprises, governments and individual users.

Electronic devices include semiconductors, displays, and other electronic devices.

It can be said that Dongwei Electric has strong chip production and R&D capabilities.

However, although the technology provided by Dongwei Electric is not advanced, it coincides with the industry boom, and Shougang chips have made a profit this year, with sales of more than 900 million in 1995.

Inspired by this, Shougang is ready to make persistent efforts, and in the millennium, Shougang found an American company, AOS, and established a joint venture "Huaxia Semiconductor", investing 1.3 billion US dollars to make 8-inch chips, and the technology comes from AOS.

But soon, in 2001, the IT bubble led to a downturn in the global chip industry, AOS ran faster than a rabbit, Huaxia Semiconductor had no technology source, and soon died, and the joint venture with Dongwei Electric also fell into losses.

Since then, Shougang has basically withdrawn from the chip industry.

It has become a bright meteor in the development history of Huaxia chips.

And Qingtian's chip company, with a high probability, is also going to take the road of technology introduction, is it possible to learn from Shougang and talk to Dongwei Electric?

After thinking about it carefully, Fang Chen found that it was not impossible to talk to Dongwei Electric, although Dongwei's technical level was naturally inferior to that of the United States, but in terms of strength, it was not too bad.

After all, in the history of the development of the chip industry, and even the entire integrated circuit industry, Dongwei is the only country that has the ability to compete with the United States.

In 1990, the share of the chip market was as high as 49%, far exceeding that of the second United States.

At that time, manufacturers such as Towa Electric, Toshiba, Hitachi, and Panasonic relied on the technology and price advantages of their products, and created a huge influence in the world.

Half of the world's top 20 semiconductor manufacturers that year were from Dongwa.

If you count the top ten semiconductor manufacturers, six of them are from Dongwa, but the first is Dongwa Electric, the second is Toshiba Semiconductor, and the third is Motorola Semiconductor.

Dongwei's semiconductor strength was already good, but now it has been beaten hard by the United States, and it is the time when it is sluggish, so there is a high probability that some good things can be negotiated.

As for whether Dongwei Electric will refuse him.

Fang Chenzhi is not worried, if in the 80s, when the Dongwei semiconductor industry was like a rainbow, clamoring to kill Intel, AMD, Texas Instruments, and Motorola, Dongwei Electric might not really bother him.

But now, it is no longer what it used to be, the down-and-out phoenix is not as good as a chicken, Dongwei Electric, and even the entire Dongwei semiconductor industry, have no bargaining capital with him.

After all, patent authorization, technology introduction, such a thing, almost all of them are bought and sold without capital, Dongwei Electric has authorized these to him, and he can also make a lot of money.

If it is not granted to him, these technology patents will be bad at all, and it is also necessary to know that the semiconductor will be updated in two years at most, which means that the technology in the hands of Dongwei Electric will only have a two-year shelf life.

Moreover, he actually wanted to see if Ryo Doi, the turtle, would be half angry when he saw him talking about business with Dongwei Electric.

Compared with Fang Chen, who was still thinking about it at this time, Zhang Rujing looked heroic at this time, and I was Wu Weiyang, a picture of gearing up, eager to do a big job immediately.

As a veteran of the chip industry, his only concern is actually the problem of money, and now that Fang Chen has solved the problem of money for him, there is no big problem for him.

Not to mention, Fang Chen also has a favorable condition that has a good relationship with the president of the United States.

It was a bonus.

As for other technologies, experience, etc., he not only does not lack it, but can be said to be the world's top master, including packaging production and cost testing.

That is, chip design, which is a big problem, and he doesn't dabble in much.

But he thinks that if Fang Chen can solve the chip manufacturing problem now, it will already be very remarkable, and the chip design can be put in the future.

Moreover, if Fang Chen does not plan to make logic chips, which are commonly known as CPUs, in fact, whether it is semiconductor discrete devices, NOR-flash chips, or DRAM memory chips, it does not need too strong chip design capabilities.

Or, if Fang Chen's early goal is only to make relatively simple logic chips and communication chips such as game consoles, learning machines, repeaters, 04 machines, and even video disc players, it does not need too strong chip design capabilities.

"Mr. Fang, I really can't wait to resign from Texas Instruments now and follow you. Zhang Rujing said excitedly.

It seems that the long-cherished wish of many years can become a reality immediately, and Zhang Rujing is really a little impatient at this time.

Seriously, compared to establishing a chip company in Huaxia, allowing Huaxia chips to develop and grow, not being stuck by Western countries, and escorting Huaxia's economic development, the so-called vice president of Texas Instruments under his ass is really not a fart.

Seeing this, Fang Chen was stunned, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, you are really in a bit of a hurry, not to mention that the time is not right now, if you leave, how can Texas Instruments train talents for me?"

Zhang Rujing laughed twice, he actually knew this, but now he just couldn't hold it back, so let's just think he was happy.

"In addition, it's not that Mr. Zhang has to follow me, in fact, our real relationship should be the relationship of partners, you contribute technology and experience, and I contribute money and background. Fang Chen said seriously.

He thought about it, and he didn't plan to take 100% of the shares in this chip company, as before.

There is no other reason, you can't bully honest people.

Zhang Rujing, who can abandon his family and business like this, endure humiliation and burden, smear his liver and brain, and make contributions to the Huaxia chip industry after he dies, why does he still have to hold on to these shares?

But who knows, Zhang Rujing heard Fang Chen say this, and hurriedly refused: "Mr. Fang, I think it's better for me to get a fixed salary, after all, you don't look down on my tens of millions." ”

If he had done it before, he really planned to be a shareholder, or even a boss, and he was also ready to invest the tens of millions of savings he had accumulated over the years into this chip factory.

But now that he has Fang Chen's financial security, he thinks that if he says anything, take out tens of millions of dollars and invest in partnerships, it is really a bit shameless and cheap for Fang Chen.

Fang Chen is willing to take out 100 billion, so he still cares about his tens of millions.

Fang Chen waved his hand and said: "Mr. Zhang, I really don't care about your tens of millions, but your people, your technology, and your heart that has worked hard and exhausted for the development of the Huaxia chip industry are worthy of my shares." ”

Zhang Rujing thought seriously for a few minutes, and then said to Fang Chen with a serious face: "Mr. Fang, I want to ask you, these executives of your company, presidents, vice presidents or something, do they work hard and worry about the development of the company?"

Hearing this, Fang Chen nodded without hesitation.

Whether it is Duan Yongping, Berezovsky, Shen Wei, these presidents and vice presidents can be said to be doing their best for the development of Qingtian, and they can use as much strength as they can.

Otherwise, Qingtian would not have developed so fast.

Seeing this, the corners of Zhang Rujing's mouth couldn't help but wipe a smile, but then his face changed, and he was still upright: "Since the president and vice president of Qingtian have also contributed to Qingtian, then let me ask you, do these presidents and vice presidents of your company take the company's shares?"

Fang Chen paused for a moment, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, and he seemed to realize what Zhang Rujing's questions meant.

After thinking about it seriously, Fang Chen said: "This is my shortcoming, because the company has been developing rapidly over the years, so I haven't really arranged for a while, how to distribute a part of the company's shares to everyone." However, I can guarantee that every employee who works hard and contributes to DynaSky will receive a share of DynaSky. ”

Although he doesn't like people to take Qingtian's shares to restrain him, it doesn't mean that he is a stingy person, and it is not a problem to give some shares to Duan Yongping, Berezovsky and other executives in a small range.

And he didn't announce that he would give Duan Yongping 1% of the shares at Duan Yongping's wedding before, but he was dismissed by Duan Yongping, and he had to say that this was a dry share, not a real share.

Seeing Duan Yongping's appearance, his share division plan was naturally delayed.

Hearing Fang Chen say this, Zhang Rujing couldn't help laughing, and said in a brisk tone: "Since the presidents and vice presidents of the company who have worked hard for several years for the company do not have shares in the company, why do I, a newcomer, have shares in the company?"

"Moreover, didn't Mr. Fang say that in the future, I will ensure that every employee who works hard and contributes to Qingtian will be assigned shares? And I think I am still serious and hard at work, so it is a matter of time before I get the company's shares, and I am not in a hurry at this moment. Zhang Rujing said with a calm face.

Fang Chen was speechless for a moment, he didn't know what to say, Zhang Rujing's words sounded like that, but in fact, I am afraid that there is a world of difference.

The shares he is giving to Zhang Rujing now, even if Zhang Rujing doesn't take a penny, just for Zhang Rujing, it is at least 10% of the shares of the chip company, and if you wait until a large-scale share split, I'm afraid even 1% is a problem.

didn't care what Fang Chen was thinking, Zhang Rujing pulled the gray sweater he had washed and was a little whitish, and said with a self-deprecating smile: "I don't have many advantages, and not liking to enjoy it can probably be counted as one of them, so if the shares are not shares, and the money is not money, for me, it is really not something that I need to care about so much." ”

Looking at Zhang Rujing's body, this extremely inappropriate gray sweater, Fang Chen suddenly fell into silence.

There is no doubt that at this time, in his eyes, Zhang Rujing is shining.

He couldn't help but think of Mr. Big's words, "Since ancient times, we have had people who worked hard, people who worked hard, people who asked for their lives for the people, and people who sacrificed their lives to seek the law,...... Although it is equivalent to the so-called "official history" of the genealogy of the emperors and generals, it often cannot hide their glory, which is the backbone of China. ”

Obviously, Zhang Rujing is such a person, and he can be regarded as completely understanding why Zhang Rujing left his beloved SMIC on the third day after TSMC won the lawsuit.

Obviously, in his heart, SMIC is above his personal interests and honor.

With a light sigh, Fang Chen buried Zhang Rujing's sincerity in his heart, and turned to talk to him about some trivial things about the chip factory.

However, he has already made up his mind, and when the time comes, he will definitely not let a good person like Zhang Rujing suffer.

After chatting with Zhang Rujing for four or five hours, Fang Chen finally had a more systematic understanding of the chip industry.

Even the next day, when Zhang Rujing left, Fang Chen was still a little reluctant, feeling that there were a lot of things on the chip that he didn't understand.

Sighing lightly, Fang Chen said slowly with some regret: "Since Mr. Zhang has done what he should do, then I will naturally do what he should do." ”

Immediately after, Fang Chen came to Ouchi.
