Chapter 410: Twenty Years Behind
Chapter 410 is twenty years behind
After Hu Yang finished saying his suggestion, he saw that Meng Rusong had been bowing his head and pondering. He didn't bother the other party, just sat there quietly and drank coffee.
After about twenty minutes, Meng Rusong suddenly got up and said, "Mr. Hu, I'm sorry, I'm too involved in thinking about the problem. I think your idea is very interesting. Well, I'll talk to the rest of the team about that. If the majority of people don't object, we'll follow your suggestion and lay out both the 45 (nm) process and the 40 (nm) process at the same time. β
Hu Yang nodded and smiled: "I'm just making a suggestion, and you still have to decide how to do it." β
Subsequently, Hu Yang looked at the latest report of Xintong International before leaving.
Lunch was a working meal at Xintong International, and when I returned home, Hu Yang rested for half an hour and made a phone call to Academician Lu Yiming.
"Mr. Hu, I heard that you went to the capital some time ago. However, I have been in the magic capital for the past month, and it was Lao Liu who called me to tell me that I only found out about it. β
Lu Yiming and Liu Jin have been in touch, and a few days ago he and Liu Jin talked on the phone to find out that Hu Yangren was in the capital. But it's a pity that he himself has been on the side of the magic capital and hasn't been able to meet Hu Yang.
When Hu Yang was in the capital, he also asked Liu Jin and learned that Academician Lu had gone to other places, so he didn't call anyone.
Today he called Lu Yiming for something else, but he didn't expect the other party to be in the magic capital.
"Academician Lu, I'm also in the magic capital now, are you free at night? If you have time, I'll invite you to dinner, and I want to ask you about some things in person. β
"Thank you, Mr. Hu, for the invitation, but I have an event in the evening, and I can't push it off. Why don't we meet now?"
Lu Yiming was going to a party in the evening, which was arranged in advance, and he didn't want to regret it temporarily.
However, when he had time in the afternoon, Hu Yang made an appointment with him to meet him.
An hour later, Hu Yang met Lu Yiming in a cafΓ©.
"Academician Lu, your complexion looks good, please take a seat. β
Hu Yang arrived at the location and waited for less than five minutes before he saw Lu Yiming walk in.
Lu Yiming walked over and shook hands with Hu Yang and sat down at the table.
"Mr. Hu, I have been here for more than a month, eating well and sleeping well, and everyone has gained five pounds. β
Lu Yiming was still the same as before, there was no shelf, and he sat down to drink coffee while chatting with Populus euphratica.
"Academician Lu, I have something to ask you, do you know who is researching lithography machines in China?"
Hu Yang did not have any memory of this in his mind, he was still a little resentful about the key production equipment being controlled by others, he called Lu Yiming before to ask about it, but he didn't expect the other party to be local.
"Haha, I really know about this. At present, there are no manufacturers of high-end lithography machines in China, and the technology is not enough to do it. However, the Electric Power Research Institute and Modu Microelectronic Equipment Co., Ltd., which are under the National Academy of Sciences, are promoting the research and development of this project, and some results have been achieved. But compared with foreign countries, the gap is very large. β
This matter is not a secret, Lu Yiming knows everything.
According to Academician Lu, the level of R&D achievements of these two units is about 20 years different from that of ASML, an international giant of lithography machines.
"Academician Lu, if I want to go to Microelectronic Equipment Co., Ltd., can you help me introduce me?"
Hu Yang plans to see the company in person, the power research institute belongs to the national research and development institutions, and he estimates that he is not qualified to visit other people's scientific research results. But Modu Microelectronics belongs to the enterprise, and the other party may agree.
"Well, that's a bit tricky. I'll find a chance to talk to them, and I can't guarantee whether it will be successful or not. β
Lu Yiming hesitated, but finally did not refuse Populus.
"Okay, then please ask Academician Lu to say hello to them, if it doesn't work, forget it. β
Hu Yang didn't know that Modu Microelectronics Equipment Co., Ltd. was undertaking the national "Tenth Five-Year" lithography machine research project, otherwise Lu Yiming would not hesitate.
The two chatted for nearly two hours, and Lu Yiming left because of something.
In fact, Academician Lu likes to chat with Populus euphratica. Although this young rich man is not a high-tech talent, chatting with him can broaden his horizons, and I don't know where he got so many whimsical ideas at a young age.
In the next two days, Hu Yang inspected Huijia International Investment (Pudong) Co., Ltd. and the factory of Charm Semiconductor in Modu.
In general, the development of charm semiconductor is extremely rapid, and the production line of the Modu factory is already running at full capacity.
Fortunately, the construction of the new factory of Charm Semiconductor has also come to an end, and it is estimated that it will be gradually put into production in two months.
The development of Pudong Company is unsatisfactory, and in terms of development speed and management level, it is a little worse than that of Deep-sea Company. Ye Chong's ability is still there, but he is a little more conservative in terms of personality.
However, Hu Yang did not criticize Ye Chong, because after all, he also got an excellent evaluation (equivalent to 85 points).
In three days, inspections of three companies were completed. On the fourth day, Lu Yiming heard back from there, and Modu Microelectronics Co., Ltd. invited Hu Yang to visit the company.
According to the agreed time, Hu Yang took Lin Yan and Li Jie to Microelectronic Equipment Co., Ltd. Lu Yiming did not come today, and Hu Yang was received by an administrative vice president of a microelectronic equipment company.
"Hello, Mr. Hu. The other CEOs of the company are busy today, so I will take you to visit the company as a whole. After the visit, there will be a small symposium in the conference room, and the main person in charge of the company will participate at that time. β
This Vice President Lu is very enthusiastic, and the smile on his face looks very sincere.
"Thank you so much. Mr. Lu, let's visit first. β
Vice President Lu nodded, and took Hu Yang to the company's showroom. The showroom has an introduction to the company's R&D achievements and a picture description of the prototype.
Hu Yang carefully read all the introductions, and then found that Modu Microelectronic Equipment Co., Ltd., founded in the new millennium, is a very young enterprise.
The major shareholder of the company is the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of Modu, which holds more than 50% of the company's equity and is in an absolute controlling position.
However, the company's current R&D results are somewhat unexpected.
Microelectronics companies are still lagging behind in high-end front-end lithography machines, but they have a late-mover advantage in mid-range back-end packaging and testing lithography machines and LED lithography machines.
High-end front-end lithography machines, which are commonly understood as "lithography machines", are used to produce various complex chips.
Hu Yang is mainly interested in this, and as for the sealing and testing lithography machine, etc., he basically passes by.
"Mr. Hu, we all know that Xintong International and Charm Semiconductor belong to your Huijia system. It can be said that you are the boss of the domestic semiconductor industry, and I will ask Mr. Hu to take care of you in the future. β
Coming out of the showroom, Vice President Lu took Populus Hu to visit the company. In addition to the core secrets of the enterprise, all R&D and production are open to Populus euphratica.
Finally, Vice President Lu's words can be regarded as a summary of the company's attitude.
The subsequent seminar was attended by the company's chairman, general manager and other senior executives. Zhang Xiao, chairman and general manager, sat next to Hu Yang, and the two chatted very speculatively.
"Dong Zhang, I came to visit your company today and gained a lot, but our domestic lithography machine has a long way to go. Thank you for your hard work, at least give hope to manufacturing companies like us. β
What Hu Yang said is really not a clichΓ©. If possible, he hopes that the domestic chip production equipment can also slowly catch up.
Everyone in the conference room was convinced.
In the face of huge disparities, the company is never discouraged. They have a slogan: concentrate on doing your own thing.
"Mr. Hu, microelectronic equipment has not been established for a few years, and it is very weak in all aspects. I hope to get the support of industry leaders like you, and I look forward to the opportunity for cooperation between us. β
Recently, the above has been planning the shareholding transformation of microelectronic equipment, and Zhang Xiao did not expect that Hu Yang, the head of Huijia Department, suddenly proposed to visit the company.
This is sleepy, someone sent a pillow, Zhang Xiao's heart is simply not too beautiful.
However, it is not appropriate to talk directly about investment at this time, and it is imperative to have a good relationship with Populus euphratica as the most important thing.
When the relationship is good, people will be willing to listen, and only then will they discover the advantages of the enterprise, and then they will have the possibility of investment.
If you are too urgent, you may scare people away.
The symposium was not long, and it ended in about an hour.
"Mr. Hu, how about we have a meal together at noon?"
Zhang Xiao warmly invited Hu Yang to lunch, wanting to contact her feelings again.
Hu Yang could feel the other party's sincerity, but he had already disturbed others for a long time today, so Hu Yang shook his head with a smile and said, "Dong Zhang, forget it today, let's come to Japan for a long time." β
Zhang Xiao was not reluctant, and sent Hu Yang to the parking lot with several vice presidents.
Watching Hu Yang's car gradually move away, Vice President Lu asked: "Dong Zhang, what a good opportunity today, I should mention the matter of shareholding system reform with Mr. Hu." β
"Don't worry, let's speak rashly, if Mr. Hu refuses in person, won't everyone be able to get off the stage? β
Zhang Xiao didn't want to turn a good thing into a bad thing, and there was a middleman who passed the word from him, and even if Hu Yang refused, there was still room for reversal. This kind of thing, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.
Hu Yang and his entourage left the microelectronics company and found a place to have lunch. In the past two days, Lin Yan has been talking about wanting to eat Benbang cuisine, and at noon Hu Yang found a Benbang restaurant.
After eating, the group returned home, and Lu Yiming's call came at the right time.
"Mr. Hu, what is your impression of Modu Microelectronics Co., Ltd.?"
