If the first two characters are character flaws and too much fraternity, so they get into relatively big trouble, the third guy is a bit bad in nature.

It can even be said that what he did made people angry.

This guy, named Zhao Renhao, 47 years old, is a shrewd professional manager and is currently the executive president of Z Guolixin International Company.

Lixin International is the third private enterprise in country Z with the production of wafers of more than 12 inches, with a monthly output of 30,000 pieces, and the introduction of a more advanced 28nm process technology, although this precision process, although it is more than three generations away from the 10nm process at the most advanced level in the world, but in country Z, it is a wafer factory with a high technical level.

After all, under the strict blockade of foreign countries, the domestic wafer enterprises in country Z can be counted with a slap if they can independently break through the 28nm large-size wafer production process.

Lixin International can have such achievements thanks to one person, and that person is Zhao Renhao, who has been the executive president of Lixin International for five years.

Zhao Renhao worked in the treasure island of the company, as the general manager of the technical department for five years.

As the largest wafer foundry in the world, we have the most advanced 10nm wafer production process and are second to none in the world in terms of technology.

During his work at Asmc, Zhao Renhao had outstanding work ability and made outstanding contributions to the company's market share and performance.

It's just that the salary is too low, under the temptation of 10% shares of Lixin International + 100 million yuan annual salary, Zhao Renhao decisively chose to change jobs, and he has been working for five years in Lixin International.

In the past five years, Zhao Renhao has lived up to expectations, led Lixin International, and made a lot of breakthroughs from scratch, giving great confidence to the company's investors, and the company's scientific research team is even more vibrant, with a large number of outstanding talents, and firmly believes that in another two years, the company's wafer production process will once again achieve a breakthrough from 28 to 22 nanometers, and the market performance of Lixin International will also be thriving.

The technical team is confident, and the investors are confident...... But Zhao Renhao, the executive president, is becoming less and less confident.

Why?

Outstanding achievement.

The main thing is the company's performance, which has not been significantly improved.

The annual sales of wafers are less than 500 million, and the investment in scientific research is more than 300 million per year.

Lixin gave Zhao Renhao 10% of the shares, and in the past five years, he has not received a penny in dividends.

It's not that Lixin International doesn't want to make performance, but the 28nm process is more than three generations behind the international mainstream, and the wafers produced by Lixin International are not competitive in the private market except for the next batch of support orders from the state.

If you want to make a performance, unless Lixin International, you can immediately achieve the international mainstream 10nm process, or the slightly worse 12nm.

28nm is too backward and has no competitiveness, so it can only survive in the low-end market.

If we increase investment and speed up R&D, can we catch up in a few years and realize the 10nm process, won't it be on the same level as other wafer companies?

Shook his head.

That's impossible.

First of all, the process gap of more than three generations is not something that can be caught up in a few years, and it may take more than ten or twenty years.

Secondly, even if you catch up in a few years, competitors will not stand still, standing there waiting for you, they may popularize more advanced 7nm, 5nm technology, you are still two or three generations behind others, still not competitive.

The consequence of not being competitive is that it is impossible to achieve a large amount of profits in the civilian market, invest in the research and development of new processes and new products, and cannot self-hematopoiesis and normal development, and the result is that it will always lag behind others.

The leader can continue to invest in R&D due to the support of huge profits, and can always maintain a leading edge, forming a complete production-R&D-production cycle, and finally leading the way.

Latecomers, if they want to catch up, unless the leader makes a fatal mistake, there is no possibility.

So after five years of hard work, only the discouraged Zhao Renhao was left with pride and ambition, and he had the intention of giving up.

He is ready to accept an invitation from Samsung to serve as the general manager of the technical department of the company's fab.

However, just as he was about to send an email to reply to Samsung, the deep and charming branch of the technology tree network was presented in front of him.

22nm process wafer production technology, free of charge.

18nm process wafer production technology, purchase price: 50 million.

14nm process wafer production technology, purchase price: 100 million.

10nm process ...... Purchase price: 200 million.

There are also 7nm, 5nm, and 3nm processes, and the purchase price between hundreds of millions and billions is completely unexpected by Zhao Renhao.

Cheap, it's so cheap!

These processes, even the free 22nm, require at least billions of R&D dollars to achieve breakthroughs.

The smaller the process in the later stage, the higher the R&D price, which may be tens of billions, hundreds of billions, or trillions.

The exchange price of this website is only more than a billion ......

Zhao Renhao's eyes rolled, and he immediately came up with an idea.

first rejected Samsung's invitation, then skipped the 22-14nm process, spent 200 million, and directly purchased the 10nm process.

Then, with this information, within the scope of country Z, contact wafer foundries similar to Lixin International to sell them privately.

Not bad!

Zhao Renhao does not plan to lead his scientific research team to devote himself to the new process of wafer production, and most of his energy is focused on being a "second-hand dealer" in selling technology.

Lixin International's R&D funds have been almost consumed, and even if there are funds, it will take about 3-5 years to understand the 10nm process.

If you want to enter the 7nm process in one step and stand on the same level as leading companies, you need to spend tens of billions of dollars to purchase advanced equipment such as monocrystalline ion implanters and lithography machines, as well as more than 5 years.

Kelixin International does not have so much money, as for equipment such as ion implanters and lithography machines, they cannot be bought abroad, so they can only develop their own.

However, the manufacturing technology of these equipment is included in the "Wafer Processing Technology" of the Science and Technology Tree Network, which is of a supporting nature.

These technologies are worth tens of billions.

Zhao Renhao's mind moved, he didn't want to waste any more time, sell all these technologies, he wanted to make a fortune!

Yes, Zhao Renhao, who graduated from university with a major in finance, has never been a saint, and he entered the wafer foundry industry because he was optimistic about the prospects of this industry.

If you want to talk about faith, it is probably the same as all people who come from a financial profession, he believes in money.

Always researching how to get the most money in the shortest possible time.

Therefore, in the face of these wafer processing technologies opened by the Science and Technology Tree Network, Zhao Renhao's first thought is to sell and resell the technology to more customers.

And these customers can be wafer companies in country Z, Samsung companies in country sticks, and Toshiba companies in country basins......

So, through his network, he distributed some technical information to these companies, attracting the attention of these companies, and ...... Great interest.

Because the science and technology tree network has the rule of "no diffusion of the technical data of this website to foreign countries", the full set of technical data of the "10nm wafer production process" was purchased and copied, and Zhao Renhao, who secretly sneaked and prepared to take a plane to the country of Bang to trade, was still detected by his assistant Yiyi.

Because of the whereabouts of each bound person, the assistant will monitor it, whether it is its passenger car, train, or plane, as long as its identity information appears in these transportation systems, it will be detected and locked.

Zhao Renhao, who was waiting for his plane at the airport, was taken away by a group of agents of the National Security Agency, and it is unknown where he went.

In short, for a long time after that, Zhao Renhao was like the world had evaporated, and no one could find it.

That technical information also successfully remained on the land of country Z.

The Zhao Renhao incident made Zhou Ming realize that it would be more and more difficult to ensure that the technology tree network was not exposed and that technical data would not leak out in the future.

Someone will definitely find a way to transfer these technical data abroad, and in an instant, realize the explosion of wealth from zero to billions.

Because, no industry in this world is as profitable as this industry.

In any industry, there is no such thing as fast money.

How to prevent the leakage of technical data has become a very thorny problem in front of Zhou Ming.
