Lucy said, "Steve, let's start with a name for this group, what do you suggest?"

Xu Xincheng only thought about it for a moment, and then said: "I suggest using 'SMIC Leader' directly, the name itself contains great energy, and it will definitely inspire all team members to work better, it should be the best choice." Regardless of whether or not the SMIC Champions can be successfully registered as a company name, we call it the SMIC Champions Special Project Group, which can be shortened to the SMIC Champions Group, what do you think?"

"Very good advice, just use the name. However, in the early stage, the word "SMIC" had to be simplified and referred to as the "Leader Group". ”

Xu Xincheng looked at Lucy with some puzzlement.

Lucy said lightly, "Because, at least for the first few months, we still need to keep the existence of this group a secret. ”

"Keeping it secret?" Xu Xincheng still didn't understand.

"The establishment of our chip R&D company and chip factory is a seventh-level secret, and in Sino-American Xinfei Company, Chairman Lu is the first person to know about it, and you are the second person. The reason why it is classified as Level 7 Secret is that we will be negotiating with Company Q and Company IN to sign a strategic cooperation agreement for the next three years. We'll have to keep it secret until the agreement is signed. Only in this way can we ensure that there will be no problems with the supply of chips for the first three years. ”

Xu Xincheng immediately said suddenly: "Yes, yes, yes! I understand." Yes, we have to keep it confidential. ”

He immediately scolded himself in his heart that his thinking was still not meticulous enough. This confidentiality work is very important and necessary, and there are actually only two objects it is mainly aimed at, that is, Company Q and Company In.

If, before signing the cooperation agreement, let the two chip companies know that Sino-US Xinfei has such a grand chip self-ownership plan, then I am afraid that they will not reach cooperation with themselves so easily, and they are helping their future competitors. Once they learn about their plans, they will immediately realize that in a few years' time, the Chinese and American SMIC leaders will directly challenge their industry supremacy, which is something they don't want to see anyway.

Thinking of this, Xu Xincheng hurriedly said: "Lucy, I'm very sorry! If we call that group the 'SMIC Leadership Group,' the word 'SMIC' alone tells a lot about others. I won't make a mistake like that again.

In addition, in the next work, I will pay special attention to confidentiality, including when checking whether the 'SMIC Leader' can be registered as a company name, during the company registration procedures, and when communicating with General Manager Li, Director Qiao and others. In short, I will not mention the words 'SMIC Leader' in front of others, although these five words are good names, people can interpret a lot of information from the name alone. ”

Lucy nodded appreciatively at him and said, "Very good! Actually, I was just about to mention that to you, but you have already come to your senses. Steve, you have a very strong ability to self-examine, self-awaken, and self-correct, which is a huge advantage for you, and it can make you keep improving. ”

Xu Xincheng smiled a little ashamedly, not knowing how to respond at all. He knows that he is an afterthought, and if he can foresee it, then it is really worthy of Lucy's appreciation.

Lucy smiled back and said lightly, "Now, let's talk about the specific responsibilities of the group leader. ”

She paused slightly, her tone became more solemn, and said: "First, select and select other members of the team; second, complete the creation of the special project team within one month; third, all members of the leading group will successfully establish Sino-US SMIC Leader Technology Co., Ltd. within two years, and successfully create a chip R&D company and chip factory with the highest standards; fourth, after the company is established, he will serve as the company's executive vice president and CEO of the chip factory, and be fully responsible for the management and operation of the chip factory."

To do things well, the key is to find the right people and let the right people do the right things. This team leader is very important, and it can be said that he is one of the most critical factors in the success of the 'Chip Sanctuary Project'.

As I said, what we need most is a person in charge who is particularly good at managing chip factories, he must be an expert in chip design and research and development, and at the same time he must be a top expert in the fine management of chip factories, and, as I said before, this person must also be Chinese.

In fact, I've been looking for this person for two or three years, but I still haven't found the right person. I hope you, General Manager Li, and Director Qiao can help me find this person. ”

"Experts among experts! It has to be Chinese. I'm afraid it's hard to find such people. But. General Manager Li and Director Qiao and I will definitely go all out in this matter. During the search for chip suppliers for H6 smartphones, General Manager Li and his colleagues have come into contact with many domestic chip companies, met many people in the industry, and, according to General Manager Li, he met some chip experts when he was in Silicon Valley. When I have a meeting with him tomorrow, I'll ask him if he can help find such a person. ”

"Good. Now let's talk about the responsibilities of the whole team, this group is actually the preparatory group of Sino-US SMIC Leader Technology Co., Ltd., which is commonly known as the 'preparatory committee' in China, which will be fully responsible for all the preparatory work of the company, and will be responsible for managing all matters related to the company before the company is officially established. As for its specific responsibilities, we will work with him to determine the leader of the group. ”

"Understood. It seems that the first priority now is to find the person who can be the leader of the group. ”

"Yes. However, we can't wait to find someone before we start. My idea is to form a temporary team of you, General Manager Li and Director Qiao, on the one hand, to find the most suitable team leader, and on the other hand, to start taking action. ”

"Okay. If there is anything that needs to be done by us, please feel free to ask. ”

"First, as I just said, in addition to full recruitment through normal channels, we will also control and acquire a number of the best domestic chip R&D companies and chip factories, and then concentrate all the chip talents there in our company, in the New Era Industrial Park, and under the Sino-US SMIC Leader Technology Co., Ltd. This has to be planned from now on. ”

"Okay. Previously, General Manager Li and Director Qiao had personally inspected five chip factories and had contact with some chip R&D companies, and they should be able to provide a lot of assistance in this regard. ”

"You can first ask them to write a work report on the chip R&D companies and chip factories they know, and at the same time give opinions and suggestions. ”

"Okay. ”

"Second, and most importantly, please contact the relevant person in charge of Q Company and IN Company as soon as possible, and agree on the time to discuss cooperation, as I just said, we need to sign the next three-year strategic cooperation agreement with them as soon as possible. ”

Xu Xincheng thought about it very seriously and asked, "Lucy, I want to ask, can we only talk to Company Q and Company IN about cooperation?"
