TSMC's chairman's office, the current chairman of TSMC, Zhang Dong, known as the "chip king" and Taiwan's "godfather of semiconductors", is talking to Liang Mengsong.

Zhang Dong entered Harvard University in the United States at the age of 18, and among the more than 1,000 freshmen in the school, he is the only one from the Celestial Empire.

At the age of 24, as a master's student who graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, he stepped into the semiconductor industry at the same time as Moore, the founder of semiconductors and the founder of Intel Corporation, and entered Texas Instruments at the same time as Jack Kirby, the inventor of integrated circuits.

He has served as vice president and senior vice president of Texas Instruments, and is the third person in Texas Instruments, second only to chairman and president. At this time, Texas Instruments had already become the world's No. 1, with 60,000 employees worldwide, half of which were managed by Zhang Dong, who was the first Chinese to enter the top management of a large American company.

The more you get to know the person, the easier it is to feel admiration for the product.

This person can define an industry, and he is a first-class and cutting-edge person in the world.

Why can AMD compete with Intel?

AMD has a lot less money than Intel, but AMD can compete with Intel, and the important thing is to have people like Dong.

Because AMD only needs to design a good product, it is more designed than Intel,

Intel itself has to design and manufacture, and the people who design and manufacture have to be raised, and then they have to invest in production by themselves, because the equipment has been set aside for funds, issued funds, and credited funds. Now AMD designs, TSMC makes for it, and uses manufacturing and Intel to spell.

In the end, because Intel's manufacturing is twice as expensive as TSMC's and the quality is worse than others, Intel's manufacturing has become Intel's burden.

Intel's brand is an asset, design is an asset, but Intel's manufacturing is its burden, AMD's design is also very good, TSMC's manufacturing is very cheap, so you can bite Intel and play your own brand, and the whole strategy is formed in this way.

Zhang Dong's TSMC price is so much better than Intel's, and the company's gross profit can reach 50%, which shows that the semiconductor industry is profitable.

It can be said that he has redefined an industry.

For such a person, when Jiang Hui and Liang Mengsong discussed, they hoped to obtain understanding as much as possible and let Liang Mengsong go to the Guanghui chip.

"Xiao Liang, you have been in the company since 1992, and it has been 15 years now, right?", Zhang Dong sat opposite Liang Mengsong, poured a cup of tea for each and said.

"14 years, 9 months and 12 days to be exact, basically the most important moments of my life happened at TSMC," Liang said.

"Some time ago, there were some rumors about your position change within the company, don't take it to heart, it's just a few directors messing around, I think you are doing a good job in your current position."

Because of Liang Mengsong's personality, he offended a group of people, and since two months ago, there have been rumors within TSMC that Liang Mengsong will be transferred from his current post to an idle position.

"Zhang Dong, after 20 years of development, TSMC has formed a very complete set of management and R&D mechanism, for TSMC, the talent of a single technician is not particularly significant, and now it relies on the strength of the system to compete with others," Liang Mengsong said.

The situation that Liang Mengsong said is actually basically a situation that every large enterprise in the city will face.

The white-collar workers of large companies are actually no different from the workers on the production line of Futukang, except that they are dressed exquisitely and beautifully, and they have coffee to drink in a beautiful office room, and they look more tasteful.

Generally, the training system of large companies will be very perfect, so it will be especially "brainwashing", this kind of training includes working methods, work thinking, work processes, etc., this kind of training will indeed give people to improve work efficiency, but in a certain essence, it is more like building each different person like a standardized part of the person, you don't need to have too many ideas, just obey and execute.

Relatively speaking, the comprehensive ability of the personnel of a small company will be stronger, because the job responsibilities are not so detailed, and they have to do some work and understand everything.

Whether a large company or a small business is better is really not a one-size-fits-all statement.

In general, in the eyes of the leaders of large companies, the management of small companies is not standardized, and the talents cultivated by small companies are usually very miscellaneous and comprehensive, which is not suitable for the professional division of labor of large companies, so it is very difficult to jump from small companies to large companies.

For small companies, they prefer to accept people in large companies and managers in small companies, it seems that people in large companies have undergone professional training and have a relatively high level of specialization, which will play a great role in promoting the standardized management of small companies, so it is relatively easy to jump from large companies to small companies.

"Xiaoliang, if other engineers leave, I think your statement is still very correct, TSMC has a few fewer ordinary engineers, and it will not have any impact on the company's operations. But you're different, I think you're pretty confident in your skill level, right?".

"Zhang Dong, I am grateful for your care and care for me over the years, but I feel that I don't have much career prospects at TSMC. Moreover, I have always had a wish, I hope to be able to design and produce a chip of my own by myself, rather than a simple foundry", Liang Mengsong found an excuse that seemed to be easier to understand.

"You are a technical expert, you know the survival of the global chip industry best, and foundry is the best choice for us," Zhang Dong said.

As the founder of chip foundry, Zhang Dong has redefined the production rules of the chip industry, and even "foundry" is already one of Zhang Dong's beliefs, so he will naturally not easily let go of this view.

And in terms of the development of TSMC in the future, Zhang Dong's insistence cannot be said to be wrong.

At the time of Jiang Hui's rebirth, TSMC's annual profit had exceeded $10 billion, which was definitely a very remarkable number.

"Zhang Dong, I know what you are worried about, I can promise that after I leave TSMC, I will not go to TSMC's competitors such as Samsung, UMC, Intel, AMD, IBM, SMIC, etc., and you don't have to worry about what losses my departure will cause to TSMC."

Generally speaking, a non-compete agreement prohibits the relevant occupation for three to five years, and does not require a lifetime commitment.

However, after Jiang Hui and Liang Mengsong discussed, they felt that in order to dispel Zhang Dong's concerns, Liang Mengsong could sign a non-compete agreement when he left the company, which specifically listed the list of companies that were not allowed to go.

Since the Radiance chip has not even been registered at all, there must be no Radiance chip in this list.

In this way, it not only avoided the restriction of Liang Mengsong's work on the Guanghui chip, but also dispelled TSMC's concerns. ()
