"Noyce, do you know the news of Shanhai Microelectronics?"

Fang Qiu looked around and found that there was no one else nearby, so he asked his colleagues in a low voice.

"Yes, of course, but I don't think this is a true and valid information, the ancient country of the distant East, in order to fool you Chinese engineers to return to China to serve, obviously went to great lengths."

Noyce shrugged, his face in utter disbelief.

"What if it lives up to its name? I have a good friend who works in the chip R&D center of MVIDIA, and his leader is Wu Maozhe's old classmate, and the information is very reliable. ”

Fang Qiu touched his nose awkwardly and continued to explain.

"No, that's impossible."

Noyce shook his head and said in affirmative.

Originally a design verification engineer, he was promoted to chief semiconductor engineer with a 10nm process solution.

The annual salary has risen from $64,000 to $136,000, plus stocks and bonuses, and the total annual income before taxes is about $200,000.

In the rich and luxurious Golden State, you can live a chic life, after all, a BMW 5 Series is only 50,000 US dollars, and a median-priced single-family villa is only 180,000 US dollars.

In his impression, most of Huaguo's chip engineers earn only a pitiful $2,000 per month, how can they get $220 million in dividends?

"If I have the same talent as you, I will definitely choose to join Shanhai Microelectronics, and I can achieve financial freedom after working for a year, and villas and yachts can be within reach."

Fang Qiu said slowly.

Noyce sneered, scolded "cutie" in his heart, and then stopped paying attention to Fangqiu, and turned his attention to the design and development of the Snapdragon 825 processor.

A few days after that.

In the BBS forum, the Kametani Engineer Exchange Conference, the café and the library, Noyce kept hearing people mention the topic of "Shanhai Microelectronics genius engineer, 220 million US dollars in dividends".

It only took him a week to go from sneering at the beginning to slowly accepting it.

Because many people regret him when they know what happened to him, and the most they say is "Oh! Noyce, if you were an employee of Shanhai Microelectronics, developed a 10nm process, and would have become a multimillionaire by now, but unfortunately you are not, haha! ”

This kind of remark invisibly changed his mind.

Why can those "fools", with the backward 16nm process, get a dividend of 220 million US dollars, and it is still 220 million US dollars per year, which has caused tons of critical damage to his psychology.

Previously, he was still complacent about the dividend of 30,000 US dollars, but now this money is like a knife stuck in his heart, laughing at his stupidity.

It didn't take long for Noyce to secretly complete the interview with Shanhai Microelectronics and submit his resignation directly to the supervisor.

“Why？ Aren't you doing your job well? Why do you suddenly want to quit your job? ”

The technical president of the R&D center looked puzzled.

"I'm sorry, I'm suffering from severe depression and need to go home to recuperate for a while."

Noyce had already planned to give the reasons that he had made up in advance.

The chief technical officer persuaded for several hours, and seeing that Noyce had made up his mind, he had to agree to sign.

Despite the appearance, Neuss is very healthy.

"Fang, you come with me!"

After completing the resignation procedures, Noyce secretly found Shangqiu, planning to take him to join Shanhai Microelectronics.

"No, I still prefer the working environment of Pickaxe,"

Fang Qiu smiled and refused.

In his heart, he secretly rejoiced that Neusko was a heavyweight R&D genius, and this intermediary fee could make a lot of money.

Leaving Hotong, where does he go to continue digging these cutting-edge talents?

If you make a fool of yourself, you must not do it!

Noyce was obviously stunned for a moment, Fang Qiu usually admires the R&D environment and welfare benefits of Shanhai Microelectronics in private, so he should be happy to join?

Fang Qiu smiled lightly, meaningfully, and politely bid farewell to Noyce.

This is his third performance this month.

A similar situation is staged every day in Turtle Valley, and a group of core personnel from Inter, Pickaxe, and Texas Instruments are clamoring to resign.

The reason is that it is so strange that the management is confused!

"I gained 24 pounds in the company and decided to go home to lose weight."

"I'm leaving, I don't want to tell you the reason, it's also nonsense, goodbye!"

"I can't squeeze into Gugu Metro Line 3, which affects my quality of life."

"I'm not interested in work, I'm interested in saving the world."

It wasn't until they inquired that this group of people had bought a ticket to Shanghai, China, that they suddenly realized.

“Shit！ The shameless Shanhai Microelectronics actually used bad competition methods! ”

Hotong CEO Amon scolded.

Finally, in order to curb the wave of resignations, the salary of the R&D center was adjusted accordingly, and the general increase was 20%.

Seeing this situation, Intel and Texas Instruments had no choice but to keep in sync.

In the first month of 2016, the air in Kamegu was sweet for chip engineers, because they ushered in a big salary increase for all employees.

When this wave of people figured out the real reason, they all had a strong curiosity about the east on the other side of the ocean.

……

The other side.

Chen Heyu ended the high-level meeting, and after listening to the work reports of various R&D departments, production departments, and functional departments, he pointed out that in the new year, while focusing on production, the research and development of the 14nm process should not be slowed down.

According to Moore's Law, the number of transistors on an integrated circuit doubles every 18-24 months.

In other words, the performance of the processor doubles roughly every two years, while the price drops to half of what it used to be.

If it can't maintain its technological leadership, Shanhai Microelectronics' gross profit margin and order volume will decline rapidly after two years, and it will fall to the point of competing for the low-end chip market.

In particular, the 16nm process is not in a dominant position in the global semiconductor field.

Intel, Bay Semiconductor Company, and Sanxing all have mature 14nm processes, and Shanhai is far from reaching a strong level where you can stop and take a breath.

"I understand that there will be no slackening in research and development, and with your additional 20 billion funds, we will definitely achieve excellent results in the coming year."

He Tingbo said with a smile.

"I don't like empty words, and when I synchronize the R&D progress in the future, I need to know exactly the size, position and shape of the process control, the improvement of equipment and materials, whether I have mastered higher resolution lithography technology, and whether there is a major breakthrough in packaging technology."

Chen Heyu said in a deep voice.

"Yes, boss."

He Tingbo immediately assured.

Chen Heyu nodded, he knew He Tingbo's resume, he had worked in Jiangdian Technology for many years, and he had some bad habits, and he was willing to change them after correcting them, so he could naturally continue to reuse them.

I'm afraid that kind of old antique with a frozen head, open his mouth and close his mouth, in the face of this kind of person, he will immediately let him roll out of the mountains and seas.

"Nothing else, I'll go first."

After Chen Heyu finished explaining, he got up and prepared to leave.

"Boss, there's one more thing you need to decide."

He Tingbo said, with a hint of embarrassment on his face.

"Oh? Let's talk about it. ”

Chen Heyu asked.

"There is an employee in the materials laboratory who illegally used high-value metal materials during his work, and after investigation, these materials were not used in the improvement and optimization of the conductive circuit of the chip."

He Tingbo said slowly.

"What is the specific reason? Just looking at the appearance, expulsion is the lightest punishment for him. ”

Chen Heyu replied.

"He said that he was developing a high-cushion soft metal material with a wide range of application prospects, and he was close to the door, and it might be an opportunity for the company, so I didn't dare to deal with it without permission."

He Tingbo said.

Judging from the other party's demeanor, the moisture in this is extremely low, and this person was a middle-level researcher in the local materials room before, which is worthy of her recommendation to the boss.

"Call and meet."

Chen Heyu's eyes froze, he didn't care about wasting this time, anyway, there was no big deal today, he was mainly going to pick up Luo Wenwen after work, he was not in a hurry, he had plenty of time.

A few minutes later.

A middle-aged man about 1.75 meters tall walked in, wearing a lab coat with long pants and long sleeves, and a pair of closed protective shoes on his feet, which can effectively avoid the damage of chemical splashes or sharp objects.

Chen Heyu bowed slightly, just this point, you can see that this person is rigorous, and his ability should be fine.

"Mr. Chen, Mr. He!"

Liang Kaiji glanced at the two people in the office worriedly, and stood aside with a little restraint.

"Mr. Liang, please be seated."

Chen Heyu said politely with a smile and pointed to the chair opposite.

"Mr. Chen, I know that it is not advisable to use laboratory materials privately, but for this research, I have completed the design of the crystal structure and microstructure, and I almost added a special alloying element to perfectly convert the impact energy of the object into heat energy for absorption.

With a kick in the door, I did something wrong in my urgency. ”

Liang Kaiji looked at Chen Heyu, a person twenty years younger than him, but the object of his greatest respect.

A boss who truly respects R&D personnel!

"Mr. Liang, if I remember correctly, your job should be a semiconductor materials engineer, is the high-buffer material you just talked about related to chips?"

Chen Heyu asked rhetorically.

"I didn't ...... Never mind. ”

Liang Kaiji's face instantly darkened, this is the dream he wants to pursue, and it is indeed a little unkind to use the company's precious metal materials to do private work.

But his original intention was to improve the technology and then hand it over to the company.

The huge dividends obtained by Wu Maozhe and Xie Shengdong have inspired every R&D personnel in Shanhai Microelectronics, who doesn't want to become famous in one fell swoop?

Liang Kaiji is no exception, and he also has selfish intentions.

"Boss, Liang Kaiji's own work is exceptionally well completed."

He Tingbo helped him say a good word.

"Elaborate on your thoughts."

Chen Hayu was willing to give him a chance.

"My main idea was to use titanium and zinc, two metals with high plasticity and compressibility, to absorb and disperse the impact energy using a face-centered cubic structure......

If I could, I'd like to show you how. ”

Liang Kaiji talked about what he is best at, his eyes are bright and full of confidence.

"No problem."

Chen Heyu motioned for him to be casual.

"It's an immature experiment, it's a fresh egg, you can check it first."

Liang Kaiji took out a palm-sized piece of soft alloy material from his pocket, as well as an egg.

Chen Heyu smiled, came interested, took it and shook it, it was sure that it was a raw egg.

Liang Kaiji retrieved the egg, placed it on the alloy material, and then wrapped it tightly with tape.

"Bang dang"!

He slammed it to the ground, exerting all his strength.

The egg, carrying a protective layer, bounces on the floor, then falls, and then stops.

Liang Kaiji bent down, picked up the egg, disassembled the tape and alloy material, and saw that the egg was intact.

"Boss, I tried it with a hammer, with my strength, it can't be smashed at all, if there is a condition, I also want to use a bullet to test its impact resistance."

Liang Kaiji added.

"Ding! System Entry Skill: High Cushion Soft Metal Technology! ”

Chen Heyu heard the prompt sound of the system and understood that the middle-aged man with gray sideburns in front of him did not fool him.

"What alloys are missing? Make a list and let the company buy it for you. ”

He smiled slightly and looked at Liang Kaiji's gaze, which was extremely soft.

This feeling of unintentional treasure picking up is more exciting than making billions!
