Chapter 72: Yin Zhiyao
What Tang Shuchen thinks Yuan Liang didn't care, he had been in Silicon Valley for so long, and Yuan Liang hadn't done the most important thing yet.
Early the next morning, Yuan Liang found Zhang Shuxin early.
"Senior sister, have you heard of the Silicon Valley Chinese Engineers Association?"
"I've heard of it, what's wrong?"
"Can Senior Sister inquire about the address of the association?"
Zhang Shuxin roughly understood Yuan Liang's thoughts, the internal members of the Silicon Valley Huaxia Engineers Association are all top engineers in the United States in China, which is extremely attractive to Kunlun Technology, which urgently needs to find a breakthrough.
"I guess I can, you wait for me to ask."
Zhang Shuxin said wait, Yuan Liang waited next to him, and it wasn't until Zhang Shuxin confirmed it by phone that Yuan Liang breathed a sigh of relief.
"You're in such a hurry? My classmates are still at work. Putting down the phone, Zhang Shuxin complained.
"I'm in a bit of a hurry, I want to visit someone in the association, but I don't have any good channels, so I can only ask my senior sister for help."
"Who to visit?"
"The founder of the Association of Engineers, Mr. Wan Zhiyao!"
Zhang Shuxin thoughtfully, "My classmate mentioned that Mr. Yin Zhiyao has a very high status in the Chinese circle in Silicon Valley and is also an expert in semiconductor equipment, do you want to invite Mr. Yin to return to China?" ”
Yuan Liang shook his head, "Mr. Yin doesn't need to be invited, I just want to ask him for guidance on the way out of Kunlun Technology!" ”
"Are you sure he'll help you?"
"He won't necessarily help me, but he'll definitely give me some very pertinent advice."
People are talking about how powerful Huawei is and how awesome it is, but Huawei's take-off is inseparable from the full support of Mr. Yin Zhiyao.
Since the 80s, he has studied in the United States, and has worked in Intel, LAM and Meidi Applied Materials for more than 10 years, and has pushed the etching machine technology of the three companies to the world's top level, and was once known as the god of Silicon Valley.
04 At the expiration of the contract, the 60-year-old Mr. Yin decisively refused the high-paying offer of the US imperialists, passed layers of review, and after giving up all the materials he had studied in the United States for many years, he returned to China with a team of more than 30 people and founded China Micro Semiconductor.
As soon as China Micro Semiconductor was established, it was suppressed by the United States imperialism, and Applied Materials shamelessly launched a patent infringement sample investigation.
But in this way, China Micro Semiconductor still passed the layers of review, and launched the first domestic etching machine in 07, completely breaking the situation that the etching machine has been monopolized by foreign countries for many years.
In the following years, the etching machine of Zhongwei has advanced by leaps and bounds, gradually approaching the world's top level. In 2015, the U.S. imperialist finally lifted export controls on etching machine equipment.
Mr. Yin started his own business at the age of 60, and at the age of 80, he is still struggling in the front line of semiconductors, he may not be as famous as Mr. Ren, but his contribution to the domestic semiconductor industry is unique.
In fact, Mr. Yin wanted to go back a long time ago, mainly because he was under contract, and like Mr. Zhang Rujin, who founded SMIC, he was not yet at the age when the US imperialists allowed him to retire and return to China.
The restrictions imposed by US imperialism on high-tech personnel and equipment are so unreasonable.
"If you make an appointment with Mr. Yin, it will be troublesome for Senior Sister, Mr. Yin is also Senior Sister, you are from the University of Science and Technology, I believe Senior Sister can do it well."
On the plane, he met Zhang Shuxin by chance, and the reason why Yuan Liang was so happy was because Zhang Shuxin's own connections could help Yuan Liang solve a lot of troubles.
If he hadn't met Zhang Shuxin, Yuan Liang might not have been able to find a way to visit Mr. Yin so easily.
"It's really on your thief ship, and my classmate just agreed to take us to the association, I'll try my best to let him help!"
Zhang Shuxin also felt Yuan Liang's attention to Mr. Yin.
Yuan Liang did not wait in the hotel, since he was going to visit Mr. Yin, Yuan Liang had to do his homework to understand the current development status of the semiconductor industry.
In the afternoon, Zhang Shuxin got the contact number of Mr. Yin's residence from her classmate's house.
Zhang Shuxin's meaning is also very clear, although her classmate is also a member of the Association of Engineers, he has no influence, and Yuan Liang has to do the invitation himself.
And it may be that he felt that his classmates didn't want to return to China for development, and Zhang Shuxin had no intention of letting Yuan Liang interview him.
Everyone has their own ambitions, Yuan Liang has no opinion on this, it would be good to have a phone call with the old gentleman to understand the situation first.
It wasn't until the evening that Yuan Liang called him.
After some inquiry, Yuan Liang heard Mr. Yin's voice on the phone.
"Mr. Yin, take the liberty of disturbing, it didn't affect your rest at such a late hour, right?"
"May I ask who you are?"
"I am Yuan Liang from Kunlun Technology, from China, and I came to Silicon Valley to understand the development of the semiconductor industry abroad.
Mr. Yin is an expert in the field of etching, and he is also a myth of Silicon Valley, so I take the liberty to bother this time, just to discuss with Mr. Yin the possibility of developing the semiconductor field in China, I wonder if Mr. Yin has time? ”
"Kunlun Technology, which department are you from?" Yin Zhiyao did not refuse, but asked a question that embarrassed Yuan Liang.
"Mr. Yin misunderstood, Kunlun Technology is a private company, and we have just begun to set foot in this field."
"Private companies?"
"It may have disappointed Mr. Yin, the environment of the domestic semiconductor industry is not very good."
"It's because I'm a little curious." Yin Zhiyao explained, and then wondered, "Listening to your voice, you are very young, who asked you to come to me?" ”
"I'm still a student at Jiaotong University, and I happen to know a senior sister who graduated from the University of Science and Technology of China, and her popularity here is not bad, so I dragged her to inquire about Mr. Yin's contact information, hoping not to disturb Mr. Yin."
"You're still a student?" The voice on the phone looked surprised.
"It's a student who doesn't do his job, I hope I won't disappoint Mr. Yin."
Yin Zhiyao also heard the humility in Yuan Liang's words, and said with a smile, "There is nothing to be disappointed or disappointed, since you are in Silicon Valley, I still have time to meet." ”
"Then delay Mr. Yin, Mr. Yin will see when it is convenient, just notify me directly."
"It's the weekend, I'll call you on the weekend morning!"
Yin Zhiyao did not refuse, which made Yuan Liang breathe a sigh of relief.
After all, the current Kunlun Technology is an empty shelf, without any foundation in China, Yin Zhiyao has nothing to say if he refuses Yuan Liang.
The reason why Yin Zhiyao is willing to see him is probably because he is a student from China.
Now that he can see Yin Zhiyao, Yuan Liang has to reorganize the next plan of Kunlun Technology.
Yuan Liang came to the United States this time to find a breakthrough for Kunlun Technology, and VCD and financial software can only be said to lay the foundation for Yuan Liang's future planning.
If you want to get involved in the fields of integrated circuit design and semiconductor foundry, Yin Zhiyao's opinion is crucial.
