"Yes, there's a plan, and I call it the 'Chip Sanctuary Project,'" Lucy said calmly. ”

"Project Chip Sanctuary?"

Lucy first cast a meaningful look at him, and then asked solemnly, "Steve, do you remember the 'Shepherd Dog Project' I mentioned to you earlier?"

Xu Xincheng immediately nodded seriously and replied, "Of course I remember." ”

How could he not remember such an important thing, although he still had many questions about that plan, and there were still many things he did not understand, but he remembered every word Lucy said that night, and in fact, he remembered all the details of the conversation between the two of them that night.

"As I said that night, the 'Shepherd Plan' is an extremely complex system plan, a system plan that needs to be implemented in four phases, with a core plan for each phase, as well as multiple secondary, secondary and feeder plans.

The core plan of the first phase is the 'New World Plan', the main content of which is to establish companies such as Newworldi Estment and New World Capital, and its main purpose is to lay a solid foundation for the launch and implementation of the plan in the next three phases, and accumulate sufficient funds, technology, contacts, reputation, credibility and talents.

The core plan of the second phase is the 'Xinfei AI Plan', the main content of which is to establish Sino-American Xinfei Company, and then design, develop, produce and sell various AI products, such as smart phones, smart computers, micro drones, and VR glasses in the future, to achieve the company's eight-year goal.

The 'Chip Holy Land Plan' is the most important auxiliary line plan in the second phase, and its main content is to establish the world's No. 1 chip company, realize the self-ownership of 100 chips, and turn it into the 'Chinese Chip Holy Land'.

Although this 'Chip Holy Land Project' is not a core plan, although it is only a secondary line plan, it is an extremely critical part of the entire 'Shepherd Dog Project', and it must be successfully realized.

Whether this plan can succeed or not is related to the success of all the products of Sino-US Xinfei, especially whether all the fist products can be successful, so it is an extremely critical part. ”

"Yes, I see. Xu Xincheng nodded seriously again.

"For now, the biggest challenge with this program is the tight schedule. Normally, it would take at least 10 to 12 years to realize a project as ambitious as the 'Chip Sanctuary Project'. I had set it for a little bit less, eight to nine years, but, as I said before, the situation and the situation have changed dramatically, and we have a lot less time, so we have to shorten it a lot. All the preparatory work must be completed within two years, from the third year, the production of high-end and highest-end chips designed and developed by itself will begin, and by the sixth year, the chip must be 100 self-owned. The day when we realize the self-ownership of chip 100 is the time when we build it into a 'mecca of chips in China'. From then on, everything will be on the fast track and everything will go more smoothly.

The reason why we invested up to 10 billion dollars at once was to be able to prepare everything in one step in two years, and to realize the plan in the shortest possible time. ”

"I see. Lucy's words answered one of his questions, why not adopt a step-by-step strategy.

Xu Xincheng was still thinking about it just now, if they adopt a step-by-step strategy, for example, invest 3 billion US dollars first, quickly create a medium-sized chip R&D company and chip factory within a year, put it into production first, and then reinvest the income from production and operation, and then expand the scale, so that it will develop gradually and gradually develop and grow.

Such a strategy is a more secure and safe strategy, and it will cost a lot less money, but the biggest problem with this is that it will take more time, and it is estimated that it will take at least 10 to 12 years.

He knew that Lucy was trading a huge amount of money for time. He found that time is always one of the most critical elements every time he discusses plans for the future of the company with Lucy, and just now, she said again that "time must be greatly shortened", all her plans need to be completed in the shortest possible time, in order to rush and shorten the time, she can not hesitate to increase the investment of hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars.

Why is that? Why does it always have to be drastically shortened?

When Lucy tells him her second secret, she roughly explains it to him. Xu Xincheng still remembers that Lucy also said things like "the situation and the situation have changed dramatically, and we have a lot less time", but, to be honest, he still still hasn't fully understood the reason behind those words.

However, Xu Xincheng did not intend to ask Lucy this question, his intuition told him that he should not ask, and there was no need to ask, Lucy must have a very good reason for doing this, and as for what those reasons were, one day, Lucy would tell him.

Moreover, he believes that Lucy is absolutely right to do so, and his trust in Lucy is completely unconditional.

The most important thing at this point is that since Lucy has set a schedule and set a goal, the only thing he should do as her assistant is to do his best to help her achieve her plan and achieve her goals.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly said firmly: "Lucy, I believe that as long as we go all out, we will definitely be able to realize this 'Chip Holy Land Project'." ”

Lucy smiled softly and said softly, "It's a good thing that you're so confident. However, even if we have faith, we have to take this plan one step at a time. ”

"Yes. Xu Xincheng hurriedly picked up the pen and prepared to write down the next implementation points, Lucy was right, even if you have confidence, you have to be down-to-earth, and you have to do one thing after another as planned.

"The first thing we have to do is to form a special project team. You and General Manager Li have to join this team, you are my agent to supervise the progress of the entire project team for me, and General Manager Li is one of the deputy team leaders, responsible for all matters related to Sino-US Xinfei Company and this project team. ”

"What about the other team members? and the team leader?"

"The other members of this special project team must be experts who really understand chip design and R&D or chip manufacturing. ”

Xu Xincheng frowned slightly, and said helplessly: "Uh...... In the Hongfei AI Division, General Manager Li and Director Qiao are relatively knowledgeable, they can be regarded as half experts, but apart from them, there are really no other experts who really understand chips. ”

"We had to look for people outside the company. In order to successfully assemble the special project team quickly, and in order for the team to successfully fulfil its mission, the most critical task is to find the most suitable team leader. The leader of this group must be an expert among experts, and he must be an impeccable person in character and character. ”

Xu Xincheng asked, "Lucy, may I ask, what are the specific responsibilities of this team leader, or what is the specific mission of the group?"
