Parallel worlds. March 1987.

After spending the New Year in their hometown, Lin Qi and Meng Xin said goodbye to their families and returned to the world in the 80s in the name of overseas work.

Lin Meng Technology Co., Ltd., led by Meng Xin, is currently regarded as the top semiconductor materials and equipment team in China.

The monocrystalline furnace hot screen technology, which has led the world for ten years, is the first technical achievement of Linmeng Technology Company. Only through the authorization of technical achievements, it obtained an annual income of more than 500 million yuan last year. Of course, this product is not yet popular, but the annual contribution of the domestic semiconductor industry is not less than 2 billion yuan.

In addition, the material team of Linmeng Technology has made persistent efforts to develop a variety of quartz crucible coating formulas, which have changed the service life of the quartz crucible of the single crystal furnace from a consumable with a life of 1~2 times to a durable quartz crucible with a service life of more than 200 times. This achievement has further reduced the cost of the two domestic semiconductor giants, Xinchuang Semiconductor and Lishan Semiconductor, by more than 1 billion yuan.

After reducing the cost, the profit of the domestic chip industry is naturally higher than that of overseas counterparts, which further consolidates the cost advantage of the domestic semiconductor industry.

Although, from the perspective of process, the current domestic semiconductor industry is still 5 years behind Intel Corporation of the United States. However, the current domestic semiconductor industry can generate sustained profits, and naturally there is money to improve the process. Over time, there is no hope of closing the gap.

Linmeng Technology Company has also developed a habit of distributing the company's projects to old employees, and these old employees are also like apprentices, teaching newcomers who don't know anything while leading newcomers to research and development.

At this stage, even if Meng Xin is not in the company, there are still many internal projects recruiting. Although the results are not as good as the core team led by Meng Xin himself, it can also be called a rare scientific research institution in China.

For example, the improvement of the coating of single crystal furnaces and quartz crucibles, Meng Xin has not done it himself. However, research in this area has not stopped. On the contrary, there are many teams competing within the company, and different levels of support are given according to the results and performance of different teams.

Therefore, the people who are qualified to lead the team internally are recruiting and building their own descendant teams, from the little brother who serves tea and water to the big guy to the little boss who leads the project!

Of course, because the team at the beginning of Lin Meng Technology Company was taught by Meng Xin as an apprentice, the company keeps recruiting fresh graduates who don't know anything, and then, the person in charge of the team teaches and guides research and development at the same time.

There's nothing wrong with that, although the team leader may have to put in a bit more effort at first. However, after the team is formed, it is not necessarily weaker than the bigwigs who poach the academic community.

"Semiconductor technology is not only reflected in the improvement of the process, but also in the progress of the material process. Material progress does not seem to be as dazzling as process progress, but in fact, without material progress, the development of any industrial technology will not go far. The most important thing in researching the material is not how much knowledge you have, but how careful and patient you are. You may have been researching the recipe but had bad luck and achieved nothing in the long run. It's also possible that, with a bit of luck, it will soon bear fruit. Of course, you don't have to be a fool who doesn't understand anything, but you can also produce results. In fact, you don't know the most basic, so even if there is a great and miraculous thing in the experiment, you will miss the opportunity to obtain honor and benefits because you are lonely and unaware of what is happening! Of course, as a team of materials research, if we are lucky, have solid knowledge, and have enough patience, then once the results are produced, it also means that we have huge economic benefits. At least, this is the case for private technology companies like us, Lin Meng Technology Company has developed results, and then made money in the market, and the personnel involved in research and development, science and technology will be divided according to the proportion of project contributions. If it is a project commissioned by the company, eighty percent of the revenue goes to the company, but we can get two percent in return. If it is a new project that we apply for, the cost of the company's investment is counted as financing, and finally, we apply for more additional financing, and the share of the rights and interests of the R&D personnel is naturally less and less, if we use very little financing to develop successfully, for example, the project is valued at 100 million yuan, and the company pays 10 million to get 10% of the equity, then, the R&D personnel can get up to 90% of the income!"

At this time, Zhang Hao, the research director of the Institute of Materials of Linmeng Technology Company, looked like a teacher to a group of new people: "Of course, as you who don't have much experience and knowledge, you can only learn and make progress at the same time, and I will explain to you as soon as possible the basic knowledge points and points to pay attention to in our new project." A week later, the project began...... By the way, our slogan is that learning makes me happy, and if you can't keep this kind of curiosity and do it for a long time with ascetic concentration, I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve anything in the scientific research industry!"

"Yes, Boss Zhang! We will work hard!" More than a dozen students were convinced, although most of these students came from Tsinghua University, Peking University and other famous universities, but at present, domestic universities have limited funds, so scientific research-oriented college students may not have been exposed to any projects.

It is only at the graduate level that it is possible to gradually come into contact with some more meaningful research projects. But...... College graduate students only have some living allowances, and their salary is far inferior to that of Linmeng Science and Technology Company! Between choosing to stay in school for further study and getting a high salary in Linmeng Science and Technology Company, many students do not hesitate to choose Linmeng Technology!

Due to the competition among a large number of high-quality talents, the average quality of the newcomers currently recruited by Linmeng Technology is also higher than the previous one. The quality of these people is basically the quality of science and engineering students, and it is also the dividend of domestic engineers!

Due to historical reasons, China has been backward in industry and science and technology for a long time. As a result, the worship of scientific research and industry is far greater than that of any other country.

During the Republic of China, the so-called masters gathered, which was pure nonsense. Because, during the Republic of China, there were a bunch of masters of Chinese studies and liberal arts in China, which were basically empty talk. The proportion of science and engineering students is less than 10% of university students.

Soon after the founding of the People's Republic of China, it shouted the slogan of learning mathematics, physics and chemistry well, and not being afraid to go all over the world. As a result of the policy orientation, the whole people study science and engineering, and 80% of the enrollment of colleges and universities is mainly science and engineering. This ratio is also rare in the history of the world. Although, not all people are suitable to be science and engineering men and engineers, many people have learned dragon slaying skills, but after graduation, they find that they don't need a major at all, after all, not everyone can become a scientist and R&D personnel.

But for Lin Meng Technology Company, it is too easy to recruit cheap and suitable engineers in China. Basically, from the stages of compulsory education, high school entrance examination, and college entrance examination, a preliminary screening has been made for scientific research-oriented companies. People who lack intelligence, or lack the ability to endure hardships and stand hard work, and have no self-control, have been excluded.

The people recruited in this way, even if they are newcomers, will definitely be able to lead a scientific research team in a few years.

Linmeng Technology Company has a good basic salary and benefits, as well as a high project share. In addition, the company has established a local area network, which has forums and libraries, and employees can access different levels of books, materials and codes according to their own reading rights. A lot of the information in this is from the future, and Meng Xin screened and modified it and uploaded it to the database. Some materials can directly inspire R&D personnel to produce a result that is several years or even decades ahead of the world.

It is precisely for this reason that Linmeng Technology Company is probably the best scientific research mecca at home and abroad, and ordinary engineering dogs want to produce R&D results and become academic authorities, and the best way is to stay in Linmeng Technology Company!
