Judging from the situation in later generations, TSMC's technicians, whether they are grassroots or high-level, have been poached by SMIC's Celestial Empire chip companies has happened repeatedly.

This actually proves from the side that as long as certain conditions are met, there is nothing that no one can't dig up.

"I think the personnel department should have probably introduced our needs to you in advance, in the past month, our most urgent need is to find a person in charge of a chip project, I wonder if you have any candidate recommendations?", Jiang Hui directly fed back the needs of Guanghui mobile phone to the headhunter.

Personnel such as the person in charge of the chip project, at least the middle and high-level R&D personnel in TSMC or Samsung Electronics, otherwise they simply do not have the ability and vision to lead the entire chip project.

In this way, there are very few people to choose from.

In the whole of Asia, there will be no more than fifty people when it is full.

It can be seen that the talent shortage in the chip industry.

"Mr. Jiang, don't say it, we really have a good resource, which may be very suitable for this role, but I haven't had time to communicate with him now, and the other party may not come," Mr. Wang said.

"Can you briefly talk about your candidate?", although Jiang Hui also knows that before signing a contract, headhunters generally do not easily leak resource information to recruiters, but Mr. Wang is obviously not the kind of rigid person.

If only the head of the personnel department of Guanghui Mobile or the people below are sitting opposite, then Mr. Wang will go around in circles and bring this problem over.

But now the opposite is Jiang Hui, the richest man in the Celestial Empire, the overlord of the entire Celestial Empire's Internet industry, and the upstart in the mobile phone industry, Fangxing Headhunter really doesn't want to offend Jiang Hui, otherwise the Guanghui Group will blacklist Fangxing in the future, and this loss will be big.

So although it is not very suitable to talk about this potential resource information now, Mr. Wang hesitated for a few seconds and immediately answered.

"Mr. Jiang, of course you can. We feel that after all, the person in charge of this chip project is a director of TSMC's R&D center, named Liang Mengsong. He received a Ph.D. in electronics and computer technology from the University of California, Berkeley, and worked for AMD for many years after graduation, and at the age of 40, that is, in 1992, Liang Mengsong returned to TSMC", Mr. Wang began to introduce the personnel information he was going to recommend to Guanghui Mobile.

"During his more than ten years at TSMC, he has made brilliant achievements. In 1997, Liang Mengsong was the head of TSMC's R&D department, so he was able to understand the overall situation of TSMC's R&D. In the database of the U.S. Patent Office, Liang Mengsong personally participated in the invention of 181 patented semiconductor technologies.

This number may not be particularly much compared with the more than 5,000 patents owned by TSMC, but the important thing is that Liang Mengsong is involved in the technological research and development of the most important advanced processes.

In 2003, TSMC defeated IBM with its own technology and became famous in the world for its 130nm copper process. The Baodao Executive Yuan praised TSMC's R&D team, and Liang Mengsong, who was in charge of advanced modules at that time, ranked second, second only to senior R&D vice president Jiang Shangyi," Mr. Wang continued.

"What is the specific work of this Dr. Liang in TSMC now?", Liang Mengsong, Jiang Hui seems to have seen it in the news in later generations, but because he is not a person in that industry, he does not remember it very clearly.

However, all other people in the industry who have an impression in Jiang Hui's ears generally have their own advantages, and this Dr. Liang must be no exception.

"Liang Mengsong's job is to lead the module development team, which is the core of the advanced process, and then report the results to the person in charge of advanced process development", Mr. Wang obviously also knows Dr. Liang better.

"So his status in TSMC's R&D department is not low?", Jiang Hui asked.

"Yes, although administratively, there are quite a few higher than him in TSMC. But in the field of R&D, there will be no more than five people with a position above him."

"So it's pretty good to say that he's doing well at TSMC, but what confidence do you have to poach him? Money alone doesn't necessarily work," Jiang Hui said, turning the pen in his hand.

"Mr. Jiang, as far as we know, Liang Mengsong's style of acting is not liked by his colleagues, he is a more single-handed, bold personality, and morality, but sometimes he is too full of words.

Especially in 2006, after the retirement of his immediate boss and mentor Jiang Shangyi, Liang Mengsong originally thought that he had a chance to rise again, but he did not expect TSMC to poach from Intel the former CEO of TSMC and the current general manager of the new business organization, Cai Lixing's senior, Luo Weiren, the former assistant director of advanced technology research and development at Intel, who is responsible for advanced technology research and development.

Although Liang Mengsong has strong R&D capabilities, Intel was better than TSMC in semiconductor manufacturing at that time, which indirectly affected Liang Mengsong's career planning.

He has always felt that he has made a great contribution to the company, and hopes that he can also be promoted to the position of vice president, but this goal has not been achieved, if we Guanghui mobile phone investment in the chip industry, I think Liang Mengsong will be a very good candidate for general manager", Mr. Wang said for several minutes in order to show his company's understanding of Liang Mengsong.

"According to you, when Liang Mengsong is a technical talent, he is pursuing a balance between his status and ambitions, and he is no longer willing to stay at the grassroots level," Jiang Hui asked.

"It can be understood that although he has never left the front line of R&D, he now wants to transform into management and achieve greater personal ambitions," said Mr. Wang.

Mr. Wang's statement is actually very close to Liang Mengsong's thoughts.

It is said that the reason why he chose to go to Samsung is that in addition to the generous treatment, Samsung gave Dr. Liang more room to play and respect.

"Samsung promised to give Liang the money he could earn in 10 years at TSMC in three years, and Samsung also dispatched an executive plane to take him and other former TSMC employees back and forth between Taiwan and South Korea," an insider later revealed to the media.

In mid-2011, Dr. Liang officially joined Samsung Group as General Manager of R&D and Executive Vice President of Samsung Foundry.

After Liang Mengsong joined Samsung, in view of Samsung's backward position in the 20nm process, he decided to give up 20nm and upgrade directly from the 28nm process to 14nm.

In the end, Samsung was half a year ahead of TSMC in the 14nm process to achieve mass production.

It can be said that if Guanghui Group can really poach Liang Mengsong to be the person in charge of the chip project, it has really inadvertently done the most correct thing.
