Ling Shizhe did not go to the company's headquarters immediately, but first went to the precision equipment manufacturing factory to see, it belongs to the precision department of Ambrera company, which is responsible for the research and development design and manufacturing of chip production equipment, new chip production technology, high-precision CNC machine tools, precision ceramic CNC tools, and other advanced precision machining equipment, which is one of the most important departments of Ambrera company.

It has only been 13 years since the birth of integrated circuits, and it has only been a few years since it really began to enter the commercial practical industry. For example, AMD delivered the first batch of memory chips to NASA (National Space Administration) on December 25, the second half of 1968, which is known as the day when microelectronics officially entered practical use.

In the early stage of the development of integrated circuits, many production equipment and production processes were not born at all, and many times Ling Shizhe's company had to manufacture various processing equipment for chips, such as lithography machines, etching machines, vapor deposition equipment, chip packaging process production lines, etc., which were produced by the Seiko department.

This phenomenon of self-developed products and production equipment for product development has appeared in the early stage of the development of various industries. For example, DuPont Chemical Company, he is the largest heavy chemical industry company in the United States, in the early stage of the development of heavy chemical industry, DuPont has a large part of its energy, is used to develop heavy chemical production equipment, until the birth of the United States antitrust law, chemical product production and heavy chemical production equipment by the U.S. government to divide, DuPont ended more than 30 years of production of chemical equipment, and then DuPont began to concentrate on the production of chemical products.

Ambrera company, as the leader of international semiconductor chips, is also the same as DuPont a few decades ago, a lot of production equipment has to be done by itself, but this is not a long-term solution, Ling Shizhe has decided that in a few years, no more than 80 years at the latest, the Seiko department must be independent, become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ambrera Group, and then seek to be listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange before 90 years.

The first reason why it takes so long is that the government's scrutiny of the listing of high-tech companies is much stricter than that of other ordinary companies.

If there is no clear and long-term profitable project, you can only stay in the high-tech incubator honestly and want to go public? Let's stay on the side, for example, the famous Microsoft is a good example, from its inception in the early seventies, how much time did it take until it went public? This is very telling.

This is unimaginable in this era for later generations of Internet stocks, that is, with the idea of online speculation, and still continuing to invest without making a profit at all, and starting a large-scale listing and financing.

Financial people in this era have not yet been so open, and the situation like the Internet in later generations will not happen until the Clinton administration has relaxed financial regulation to a certain extent. This was the time when Keynes's ideas were at their peak, and all kinds of financial regulations were strictly regulated.

The second reason is simpler, even if the future market prospects are promising, there is a great profit expectation, the founder of the company will not casually list the company, if you do this, the company's shares can not be sold at a good price, and the company's listing cost will be very high, if you don't get it right, you will be sniped by your opponent or Wall Street's financial predators, and then the gains outweigh the losses, which is not beneficial to the future development of the listed company.

When he came to the precision machining production plant, he was greeted by Dr. Zhou Yuanhang, the head of the Seiko department, who was a Ph.D. student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who used to work in GE and had rich experience in corporate management, and who joined Ambrera in 70 years, and has been responsible for the management of the Seiko department.

Today, Ling Shizhe came to see a new product - vacuum cleaning robot, the production process of semiconductor chips, a lot of high-tech production equipment is needed, vacuum cleaning robot is one of them, he is an indispensable link in chip production.

To put it bluntly, a vacuum cleaning robot is a manipulator, whose task is to take the wafer out of the shelf and put it on the designated chip processing position.

In the past, this kind of work was done by hand, but there is a big disadvantage that it is done manually, not to mention that it is inefficient, labor-intensive and time-consuming, and no matter how clean and protective the human hand is, it will cause pollution to the wafer and bare chip.

Now it is easy to say that the chip process technology is low, but with the development of semiconductor technology, it is becoming more and more difficult to rely on manual operation, and vacuum cleaning robots were born.

The vacuum cleaning robot used for semiconductor processing does not look small, but its scientific and technological content is much higher than the general vacuum cleaning robot, the manufacturing of this robot is very large, and the assembly of one of the components can only be completed by Ling Shizhe and Christopher in the whole enterprise - steel belt assembly.

This kind of robot originally did not exist in this time and space, and it was a technology brought by Ling Shizhe from the afterlife.

Before entering the workshop, various preparations must be made, the cleanliness of the workplace exceeds that of the intensive care ward of the hospital, workers must wash their hands and clean many times, and wear high-cleanliness protective gloves, dust-proof clothing and dust-proof caps, and tools must also be dusted before use.

The thickness of the transmission steel belt of the vacuum cleaning robot is only one-tenth of that of a human hair, and workers must be extra careful during the installation process, and the steel belt is not allowed to have any scratches.

The steel belt must be continuously operated 12,000 times to be qualified, and the tightness of the steel belt will directly affect the uniform expansion and contraction of the robot arm, so there can be no sloppiness, and it generally takes a day to assemble this robot.

The installation of steel belts is particularly technically difficult, and it took Ling Shizhe more than six months and hundreds of steel belts wasted to bring Christopher to church.

This is still Christopher's extremely high talent, if it is an ordinary person, don't think about it for two or three years.

In the workshop, Ling Shizhe and Christopher are teaching these rookie students how to install steel belts, a group of fifteen students, the most talented students carefully selected from Ambrera's company, their hands are very skillful, and they are also very stable, teaching them to install steel belts is just right.

In addition to the usual teaching training, they also have to receive various basic training, otherwise they will not be able to complete this work.

It wasn't until half past three in the afternoon that today's teaching ended, everyone walked out of the workshop, Ling Shizhe gathered everyone together and said: "That's all for today's training, you have to do more basic exercises after you go back, which is good for you." Although the technical difficulty of steel belt installation is very great, it is also a work that practice makes perfect, and you usually have to do more exercises in order to work independently as soon as possible, understand? ”

At this time, one of the students raised his hand and said, "Teacher, how long will it be before we can operate independently?" I've been training for half a year, how long will it take to get on the job? ”

"What's the hurry?" Ling Shizhe smiled and looked at everyone and said, "Let me tell you, it's still very early for you to want to operate independently, without two or three years of long-term training, operate independently?" Don't even think about it, be prepared for a long struggle. ”

"Ah, it's going to take so long......"

"It's miserable, I knew it was so hard, I wouldn't come, this kind of job seems to pay a lot, but it's not worth it at all."

"yes, it's just that it can't be done at all."

……

Seeing everyone's sighs, Ling Shizhe and Christopher glanced at each other and shook their heads at the same time. Made, these Hong Kong Yankees, really can't bear any hardship, you must know that this salary is not lower than that of Japanese engineers at all, such a huge salary, the whole of Hong Kong is not found with lanterns, these people actually complain.

Thinking of this, Ling Shizhe's face fluttered, and he said: "Why can't you endure hardship, right, if you can't endure hardship, get out of me immediately, I don't support you waste here, if you want to get out, get out immediately, don't come over in the future." ”

"Let's go, what's the big deal, isn't there just two stinky money......"

"That is, you can't afford to be rich ......"

Soon the work room was empty, Ling Shizhe looked at Christopher and said: "In the future, we will choose people, in addition to his talent and skills, we also have to look at his character, don't recruit those who can't endure hardship." ”

"Yes boss, I remember, this will never happen again." Christopher blushed and said that he had recruited these people, but he didn't expect them to be a bunch of miscreants.

"Hey, why are you two still here, aren't you leaving?" Ling Shizhe found that there were still two people standing there and did not leave.

These two people are a man and a woman, the woman is petite, the man is very thin, and both of them have sallow faces, obviously malnourished.

"Boss, if we don't leave, aren't we just suffering a little, for such a high salary, I have to suffer this little hardship." The woman said.

At this time, the man also said: "Yes, what is this hardship, when I was on the farm, it was much more bitter than this, what is this hardship, after leaving the teacher, I can get a high salary, and then I will have everything." ”

"Farm? Why are you educated youths from the mainland? Ling Shizhe asked strangely, he didn't expect this person to be a fugitive from Hong Kong.

The man looked at the woman and said, "Boss, both of us are educated youths from the mainland, and after graduating from high school, we were sent to a farm in the northwest. ”

"What's your name? When did you come to the company?"

Man: "My name is Wei Hongqi, I changed my name after I arrived in Hong Kong, and now my name is Wei Hongqiang." He pointed to the woman next to him: "Her name is Yang Junhong, and she hasn't changed her name." We escaped half a year ago, and two months ago Ambrera recruited workers, and we came here. ”

Ling Shizhe looked at the two of them left and right, and said: "Look at your faces, it is clear that you are suffering from long-term malnutrition, although you are apprentices, but the company's salary for apprentices is not low, why do you look like this, can someone deduct your salary?" "If that's the case, then it's terrible, maybe Ling Shizhe will have a big purge, this kind of black sheep, Ling Shizhe is absolutely not allowed, this kind of person dares to deduct the salary of his colleagues, and he dares to hack the boss's money, this kind of person must be cleaned.

At this time, the female student named Yang Junhong said: "No, no boss, no one deducts our wages, the apprentices are all paid 800 yuan a month, and the company gives us full and timely every month, and no one deducts us." ”

Ambrera apprentices, no matter what type of work they are engaged in, are 800 Hong Kong dollars per month, after the assessment of the regular workers, the salary is about 1,800 yuan per person per month, with the increase of the professional level, the salary will also rise.

Ambrera's employee level adopts the mainland's eight-level labor system, and on this basis, it is improved, and the higher the level, the higher the salary, the higher the income gap will be.

This system was developed by Ling Shizhe himself, and this salary is nearly three times higher than the salary of employees in other enterprises in Hong Kong, which is very attractive.

"Since you don't, why do you look like this?" Ling Shizhe obviously didn't believe it.

Wei Hongqiang said: "Boss, what Yang Junhong said is true, we didn't lie to you, it's just that we are too bitter over there, which led to long-term malnutrition, after escaping here, we haven't had a full meal for several months, I know that we only entered the company two months ago, and we just got paid not long ago, so our appearance hasn't changed much." ”

Ling Shizhe looked at Christopher, who nodded and said: "This is what they looked like when they came, I saw that they looked too bad, so I advanced their salaries for half a month, and a month ago, they officially got their salaries." ”

It turns out that this is the case, and it will be reasonable to say that at that time, but we still cannot relax our vigilance, and this kind of thing is a common phenomenon in Hong Kong enterprises at this time.

Hong Kong is a free port, capitalism, rich people, but it is the worst place in the world, these Hong Kong Yankees, from the West good things have not learned, but rotten have learned a lot, what to withhold wages, drink workers' blood, drug company colleagues, etc., there is all kinds of mess, if something happens, there is no place to find someone to avenge our grievances, and the British will not care about our life or death. Hong Kong

It's just a place where scum is concentrated, and after this kind of thing goes back, arrange for Zhang Ke to secretly investigate, and all this kind of scum will be cleaned up.

After making up his mind, Ling Shizhe called his secretary Bai Lu over and said, "Bai Lu, inform me that all newly recruited employees in the company, especially apprentices, will be paid half a month's salary in advance. Also, call Zhang Ke, I have something to tell him. ”

After Bai Lu quickly took notes, she left to call Zhang Ke, shaking her head as she walked, she had been Ling Shizhe's secretary for so many years, she knew his character very well, and knew that the company was about to set off a storm, I don't know how many people would be unlucky because of this, and the people under the company did those bad things, she knew too well that she had to be the boss, and she couldn't tolerate a little sand in her eyes.
