Chapter 734: The Last Piece of Heights (1)

Director Wang is nothing, but Dr. Liang is very happy. He is currently leading the team to carry out an important technical research, and if it weren't for Director Wang's tough attitude, he wouldn't want to waste this time.

Partnering with a company to build a joint laboratory? To be honest, Dr. Liang is not optimistic. There is a way to take people's hands short, take the company's funds, and the research project is not the final say?

But when I first saw Populus euphratica today, I left a very good impression on him.

"Mr. Hu, Mr. Xia, thank you for your attention to us. We have no opinion on the establishment of a joint laboratory and the talent training program, so let's look at the specific details. ”

Director Wang is also a happy person and agreed to this plan in principle.

"Once the principles are set, the details are easy to discuss. Mr. Xia, you will send someone over when you go back and strive to finalize this project as soon as possible. ”

The two sides hit it off and agreed on issues of principle.

For specific negotiations, Dr. Liang was contacted by personnel sent by Xia Bing. After the two sides reach an agreement, Xia Bing will sign a contract with Director Wang.

"Mr. Hu, Mr. Xia, I would like to invite the two of you to visit our unit, I wonder if you are interested? By the way, Dr. Liang still has a research project in his hands, so he can't accompany him. ”

After chatting for a while, Director Wang invited Hu Yang and Xia Bing to visit the institute. He also saw that Dr. Liang was a little absent-minded, so he took the initiative to send the other party away.

Later, a joint laboratory was established, and Dr. Liang was the director of the laboratory. Otherwise, Director Wang wouldn't have called this nerd over today.

Hu Yang and Xia Bing didn't care about this, and they visited the Institute of Microelectronics accompanied by Director Wang and Academician Lu.

At the end of the visit, Hu Yang and Xia Bing said goodbye.

As long as no one objects to it, this cooperation project can enter the substantive negotiation stage.

After Hu Yang's car left the research institute, Director Wang rushed to Lu Yiming and said: "It's really terrifying! I really didn't expect that domestic semiconductor companies can be comprehensively suppressed by North America, which is amazing!"

"He's very capable, and you'll get to know it slowly. Wangsuo, God of Wealth, I found it for you, and you are not allowed to drop the chain. ”

Lu Yiming made a joke and followed Director Wang to his office.

In the car, Xia Bing looked at Hu Yang and suddenly asked, "Boss, how much money are you going to let us invest?"

The investment in the joint laboratory can be large or small, depending on what Populus euphratica intends to do.

"It's easy to do things when you have more money, invest 10 billion in the early stage, and then slowly add it later. Mr. Xia, this matter is very important to the entire Huijia system, don't be reluctant to give up money. ”

Hu Yang did not say anything about this project at the regular meeting of the decision-making committee.

This kind of thing itself is difficult to achieve results in the short term, and it requires long-term, regardless of gains and losses, and needs to be strongly promoted by himself.

"Anyway, the money is your own, don't blame me if you lose. ”

Xia Bing smiled and made a joke, she has always carried out Hu Yang's orders to the letter.

"Don't worry, you can't lose, this is a one-and-done investment. ”

The joint laboratory will conduct basic research related to semiconductors and nurture human resources in various fields. Due to the wide coverage, the final investment will be astronomical.

However, these investments will be advanced by Huijia International Investment in the early stage, and in the later stage, they will be shared by the enterprises under the Huijia family.

For example, if the United has a senior technical talent in the laboratory and is eventually hired by Chiplink, then Chipcom will pay a considerable amount of money to the joint laboratory. This fee can be regarded as a "transfer fee".

The technical achievements developed by the laboratory are also authorized for each enterprise for a fee, of course, the cost is not too expensive, after all, they are all their own people.

In addition, existing talents from various companies can also come here for further training, and they also need to pay a fee.

In addition, the results of basic research will belong to Walker International Investment.

The next day, Xia Bing left the capital and returned to the deep sea. The negotiation team of Huijia International Investment immediately came to the Institute of Microelectronics and began negotiations with the other party.

The negotiation process went more smoothly than expected, and in less than 20 days, an agreement was reached. So Xia Bing came to the capital again and signed an agreement with Director Wang to establish a joint laboratory.

According to the agreement, all the funds required for the joint laboratory will be borne by Huijia International Investment. Microelectronics provides the required researchers, and the shortage of manpower will be recruited from outside.

The research results are patented by Walkers International Investment. However, scientists involved in research projects have the right to publish papers.

All technological achievements (including patented technologies) can be used free of charge after being authorized by the Institute of Microelectronics, but excluding large-scale commercial applications.

In other words, the research technology can be used by the Institute of Microelectronics for free use. For example, if the Institute of Microelectronics wants to apply scientific research results to national defense construction, there is no problem. But if you want to make money on the civilian market, that's not allowed.

The Institute of Microelectronics can apply to the joint laboratory, and after obtaining the license, it can use the advanced equipment and instruments of the laboratory free of charge.

The management mechanism of the joint laboratory, similar to the decision-making committee system of the Huijia department, will be served by five senior scientists.

Two of the places belong to the Institute of Microelectronics, and the other three places belong to Huijia International Investment. Dr. Liang is the director of the laboratory, who is responsible for the day-to-day scientific research of the laboratory. The deputy director is assigned by Huijia International Investment and is mainly responsible for the day-to-day management work.

The laboratory will be built in the high-tech zone, and after the funds are in place, the preliminary construction work can be carried out.

"Boss, after the agreement was signed, I allocated 100 million yuan to the project preparation department. The land is ready-made, and the bidding for the civil works can be carried out immediately. After the bidding is completed, I will allocate the project money and equipment purchase money to them. ”

The initial investment of 10 billion yuan is not in place all at once.

Xia Bing will allocate funds in installments and batches, and strengthen supervision, so that the accounts are clear, and every penny is spent where it should be spent.

"Well, you can do it. In addition, the supervision work can be handed over to the Beijing company, and I will greet Manager Ye when I go back. ”

Hu Yang nodded, it will take some time for the operation of the joint laboratory, and the main work in the early stage is to do a good job in infrastructure construction.

"Boss, the company has appointed a project leader, and I will return to the deep sea in the evening. Is there anything else you'd like to explain?"

Xia Bing will not be directly involved in this project itself. Walkers International Investment has arranged for someone to be in charge, and she still has her job.

"It's nothing for now, I wish you a safe journey. ”

Hu Yang smiled, sent Xia Bing to the elevator room, and told her not to be too tired, and to pay more attention to rest after going back.

Winter goes to spring......

After Hu Yang's parents spent the Chinese New Year in the capital, they returned to Yangcheng.

This Spring Festival, my sister Hu Yue and brother-in-law Ge Hongbing did not come to the capital. They took their daughter to the child's grandfather and grandmother for the New Year.

Xiao Yifei also began to go to kindergarten every day after the New Year, and Tian Sichun not only took care of the children, but also had time to do some public welfare things.

Populus Hu still goes to the company every morning to work, sometimes goes out in the afternoon, sometimes goes to exercise, in short, life is more leisurely than before.

Therefore, when Chen Jialin took the time to visit him from the deep sea, a jealous expression hung on his face.

"Brother Hu, I'm busy all day now, but you're living a happy little life here, it's not fair!"

Chen Jialin sat in the courtyard of the courtyard, in the capital in early spring, it was warm and cold at first, and this guy was still wrapped in thick winter clothes.

"What's unfair? You can also try to delegate some power. Assistant Wu, let them hurry up and bring the pot up, and see that Mr. Chen was shivering coldly. ”

Hu Yang smiled slightly, not planning to talk about this topic with the other party.

Today's Stubborn Rock Technology is the king of the world's foundry, and it has no rivals in the world.

Chen Jialin enjoys this title very much, although he usually has little free time, he is not willing to let go of any bit of power in his hands.

Chen Jialin glanced at Populus euphratica, but at this time, Lao Liao had already brought up the copper hot pot, and the red charcoal fire was warm when he looked at it, and he suddenly had no interest in arguing with Populus euphratica.

After a while, the wine and food were ready, and Hu Yang and Chen Jialin sat in the courtyard, began to shake the mutton, and from time to time touched the glass, and drank two sips of the two-pot head that went straight to the brain.

"Brother Hu, North America didn't suppress us this time, do you think they will give up directly? In fact, the other party doesn't have much to do now.

The domestic economy is catching up with North America at an accelerated pace, and is currently clinging to North America, basically forming a two-strong pattern. ”

Chen Jialin likes to eat the mutton shabu made by Lao Liao, and he thinks it is better than the restaurants outside.

"You are not wrong when you say that the two are strong, although Europe is quite powerful with one piece, but dozens of countries together always have a feeling of making up the numbers.

As for North America, the other party will definitely not be reconciled. But we have already carried the most difficult moments, and the future must be better day by day. ”

Hu Yang took a sip of wine, and his heart was also infinitely emotional.

At this time last year, the entire Huijia family, including him, was still gritting their teeth and fighting for survival. Now, a year later, he is no longer thinking about this problem, but about how to live a better life.

"Yes, yes, yes, if we get better day by day, then our opponent will definitely decline day by day. Brother Hu, there is good news, do you remember Li Kailong's acquisition of a Canadian energy company?

Recently, I heard that Canadian energy companies are doing something big and their stock prices are plummeting. Hehe, now it's Li Kailong's turn to cry...... It is said that the Li family's loss this time is hundreds of billions of Hong Kong dollars, are you surprised?"

Chen Jialin's most hated forces are Li Kailong and his Li family at the top of the list, followed by North American NGOs in Xiangjiang.

He didn't need to disguise himself in front of Hu Yang at all, so he unabashedly showed his schadenfreude over the Li family's huge loss.

"This is great news! Come, Chen Shao, a toast to this. ”

Hu Yang laughed, although he had foreseen this matter, but when it came, he was still very happy.

Whether it is Li Kailong or the Li family, they are all opponents and enemies. The enemy has suffered, and of course it is necessary to celebrate.

"Brother Hu, I heard that ASML's EUV lithography machine has been made, but it has not been announced to the public for the time being. What about ours? Is there any hope in a year? ”

The two of them were happy for a long time, and Chen Jialin changed the topic in a timely manner.

Hu Yang's face stiffened, and he smiled bitterly: "It's hard to say, judging from the current progress, you can choke." When it comes to EUV, it is completely different from the previous technical path, there are not many things to learn from, and you still have to work hard!"

ASML's lithography machines bring together the best technologies from the world's industrial powers. Even the funds are supported by various international giants, which is far from being comparable to Huijia.

For example, in the research and development of ASML EUV lithography machines, giants such as Taipower, Intel, and S-Star have invested heavily in it. After the successful research and development, there is no need to worry about sales.

If it is stuck on the equipment, no matter how advanced the process technology of Xintong International is, once it reaches the 7nm node, it will be thrown off by international giants such as Taipower and S-star. At that time, if you want to catch up, it will be difficult. ”

Chen Jialin shook his head, he also knew that Bolong Optics and microelectronics could not be blamed for this matter.

You know, according to the "Wassenaar Agreement", there are a lot of cutting-edge products, which Europe and RB do not sell to the domestic at all. It is impossible for Bolong Optics to obtain parts from all over the world like ASML.

Therefore, the EUV lithography machine can only be completed by Huijia itself and some domestic enterprises. It's really difficult!

If this is a game, then it is a game between a country and all the developed countries of the world, and there is no fairness at all.

However, there was no point in continuing to talk about this topic, so Chen Jialin stopped talking and tried his best to say something pleasant to Hu Yang.

Following.

Chen Jialin left the capital and went to Zhongyuan City, where Stubborn Stone Technology has a large production base.

And Hu Yang took Wu Xinhui and others to Bolong Optics early in the morning and met Xu Younian and Dai Xiangjun.

Stimulated by yesterday's topic, Populus Hu came to listen to a report on the progress of EUV research and development today.

Xu Younian and Dai Xiangjun both had sad faces, and the progress of the two core systems of the EUV lithography machine, the optical exposure system, and the light source system is not very ideal.

"What's the problem? Is it the problem of funding, the problem of talent, or the problem of technical reserves?"

The development of EUV lithography machines has actually been broken down into several subsystems. For example, the light source system is mainly a subordinate laser company and a joint project of the Checheng optical machine.

Populus euphratica didn't think it would be easy, but after so much time, why did it progress so slowly?

Xu Younian immediately replied:

"Mr. Hu, there are some problems in these aspects you said. But the biggest problem is that each subsystem needs to be tackled domestically, and international procurement is becoming more and more difficult. ”

Dai Xiangjun also immediately said: "Yes, in the past half a year, the international blockade of North America against us has intensified, and what we could buy before is now gone." ”
