After the investment was finalized, Wujiang Microelectronics immediately began preparations to build a larger fab.

At this time, TSMC has not yet been officially established, but the founder is probably already preparing.

However, Zhao Ye will never give TSMC much chance to rise.

The most valuable asset of an enterprise is its people.

Therefore, after receiving an investment of 5 billion yuan from Wujiang Group, Wujiang Microelectronics once again started the global crazy poaching mode, preempting TSMC and bringing semiconductor talents under its command.

University of California, Berkeley, USA.

"Professor Hu Zhengming, hello, I am Meng Lianhan, Director of Human Resources Department of Wujiang Microelectronics, and our company sincerely invites you to join Wujiang Microelectronics. At this moment, the development of China's semiconductors is at a critical juncture, and if it advances, it will catch up with and surpass Western countries, and if it retreats, it will lag behind the world! There is a saying of 'rejuvenating the country through science and technology', and I hope that Professor Hu can join us in witnessing the great rejuvenation of the motherland!! Meng Lianhan knew that many Chinese were still quite patriotic, so she persuaded Professor Hu Zhengming to join Wujiang Microelectronics Company in the name of the country.

Hu Zhengming is a microelectronicist, a member of the U.S. National Academy of Engineering, and has made significant contributions to the development of semiconductor devices and future miniaturization.

And his students are also very awesome, among them there is a chip wizard named Liang Mengsong, in the previous life, he and Hu Zhengming joined TSMC, and then the two decided to use a new fin long-effect transistor after continuous experiments and research, and this unprecedented technology not only shocked everyone, but also broke through the bottleneck of the process that the world was very headache at that time, directly skipped the process of 150 nanometers and successfully reached 130 nanometers, it is because of the bold innovation and excellent knowledge and technology of the two, Therefore, not only does TSMC's semiconductor technology be on par with IBM, but it also gets rid of its dependence on related technologies in the United States.

However, TSMC did not attach importance to Liang Mengsong, causing Liang Mengsong to jump ship to Samsung to help Samsung improve the chip manufacturing process and surpass TSMC.

"Commonwealth Magazine" commented on Liang Mengsong, "With one person's stay, it can affect the growth and decline of the semiconductor industry in the two places." ”

I have to say that this chip wizard Liang Mengsong is very awesome!

At this time, Hu Zhengming obviously listened to Meng Lianhan's words, did not hesitate at all, and said in a deep voice: "Since the motherland needs me, then I will decide to go back." I have heard many people talk about it in the United States, this is a very powerful, very good company, and I am honored to be able to join such a company! ”

Meng Lianhan didn't expect it to be so easy to persuade Hu Zhengming to join the company, "Professor Hu, welcome you to join Wujiang Microelectronics Company, it is like a tiger to join our company!" Meng Lianhan's face couldn't help but show a little excitement, and shook hands.

Hu Zhengming smiled and said: "Don't dare to be, if you can do your meager strength and make a little contribution to the motherland's semiconductor industry, that's enough!" ”

Meng Lianhan asked, "Professor Hu, there should be a lot of semiconductor talents among your disciples, can you contact them to join Wujiang Microelectronics Company together?" Our company urgently needs more semiconductor talents, and of course, the treatment is no worse than that of the United States! ”

Hu Zhengming nodded: "Yes, I will try my best to persuade them to join Boundless Microelectronics!" ”

"Great, thank you Professor Hu!"

"Hehe, you're welcome."

……

In 1987, the semiconductor industry had reached the stage of 193nm dry lithography.

A few days ago, at a seminar, Lin Benjian proposed immersion lithography technology, but it was ignored and ridiculed by everyone.

"Lin, it's 10 o'clock for a meeting, don't be late!" An IBM employee simply and indifferently said a word to Lin Benjian and left.

Lin Benjian frowned slightly, since a few days ago, he proposed the immersion lithography technology, as if he was isolated by the rest of the group.

I looked at my watch, and it was already 9:45.

Lin Benjian stood up and immediately walked towards the conference room.

After entering the conference room, more than a dozen people who did X-ray technology were arranged to sit on one side of the conference table.

"Lin, you sit on the other side!" An IBM employee spoke.

Lin Benjian was arranged to sit on the other side alone.

This is simply the isolated behavior of Chi Guoguo.

Lin Ben endured the anger in his heart and walked to the other side of the desk and sat down.

At present, the research of X-ray lithography technology is the mainstream, and Lin Benjian's proposal of immersion lithography technology is simply heretical.

After a while, the meeting began.

Lin Benjian watched expressionlessly as everyone enthusiastically discussed X-ray lithography technology.

Soon, IBM executives decided to give the X-ray technology group a large amount of R&D funds.

Lin Benjian stood up at this time and said loudly: "Mr. Harrison, dry lithography has reached this stage, and there is no hope for the future. Immersion lithography is the hope of future lithography. If you give me a tenth of the money for the X-ray technology team, I can make something! ”

Harrison shook his head and said, "Lin, your idea is deviant and contrary to mainstream thought, IBM will not spend a penny on research on immersion lithography technology!" Okay, you don't talk anymore, and that's it. IBM's research direction is X-ray lithography technology! ”

When Lin Benjian heard this, he sat back on the chair with a disappointed face.

……

As the sun set, Lin Benjian walked out of the IBM building, feeling very depressed.

At this time, a voice not far away shouted: "Mr. Lin Benjian! ”

Lin Benjian turned his head to look at the person suspiciously: "Hello, may I ask who you are?" Is there something wrong with me? ”

Meng Lianhan took out her business card from her bag and handed it over, while saying, "Hello, Mr. Lin Benjian, I am Meng Lianhan, the human resources director of Wujiang Microelectronics. ”

Lin Benjian took the business card and looked at it, then looked at Meng Lianhan and asked, "Hello, Ms. Meng, what are you doing?" ”

Meng Lianhan said: "Mr. Lin, this is not a good place to talk about things, why don't we go to a nearby café to talk?" ”

"Okay, I happen to know there's a nice café nearby, why don't we go to that café and talk about something?" Lin Benjian nodded and said.

Meng Lianhan nodded and said, "Okay!" ”

Soon, the two came to the café, and Meng Lianhan said straight to the point: "Mr. Lin, I guess my intention, you also know, we sincerely invite you to join Boundless Microelectronics!" Our company is very interested in immersion lithography technology and is willing to spend a lot of money to develop immersion lithography machine! ”

As soon as the words fell, Lin Benjian was very surprised.

I didn't expect that the idea I put forward at the seminar a few days ago would have a company willing to invest.

Lin Benjian thought of his isolation at IBM, and a wave of anger in his heart was hard to eliminate.

There is no place to stay here!

If you don't value my research, I'll go to the companies that value my research!

Lin Benjian immediately said to Meng Lianhan very happily at this time: "Okay, I am willing to join Wujiang Microelectronics Company!" ”

Meng Lianhan was stunned when she heard this, it was so simple to recruit the talent specially designated by the boss, she couldn't believe it, does this still need a human resources director like me to go out in person?

There is no way, Meng Lianhan is really lucky, Hu Zhengming is a more patriotic scientist and educator, and Lin Benjian is at a low point in his life, and he is excluded and isolated by his colleagues at IBM.

In addition, Wujiang Microelectronics is also a small name in the industry, and has the ability to provide a satisfactory research environment.

The parent company, Wujiang Group, is a well-known hegemon in the game industry.

Therefore, both of them are more willing to join Boundless Microelectronics.

……

The next day, Lin Benjian submitted his resignation to IBM.

A few days later, Professor Hu Zhengming also brought Liang Mengsong and several students to Meng Lianhan, saying that they were willing to join Wujiang Microelectronics Company, and when the handover of their work was completed, they would immediately go to China.

At this time, TSMC was still preparing, and even the company had not yet been established.

TSMC probably never expected that a large number of employees who originally belonged to TSMC were now poached by Wujiang Microelectronics......
