At around 10 am the next day, Xu Zhenming and his party landed at the Hsinchu Airport in Wanwan.
Just walking out of the airport exit, Zhou Jiawei suddenly stopped and exclaimed to a middle-aged man wearing a gray trench coat: "Zhang Gong, Zhang Gong! Is that you?"
Hearing this, the middle-aged man couldn't help stopping and turning his head.
He is about 1.75 meters tall, has a Chinese character face, fair skin and slightly fat, and his gray hair is similar to the gray of his later grandma.The eyes are very big and very energetic."Zhou... Jiawei! Hahaha... Why did you come to Wanwan?" He laughed and greeted Zhou Jiawei in the Wanwan dialect.
While speaking, he spread his arms to hug Zhou Jiawei who rushed past.The two talked in English from time to time, and sometimes spoke in Mandarin. They were very affectionate.
Seeing this situation, Xu Zhenming asked Lu Qingshan to pick up Zhou Jiawei's salute, and stop by the wall next to the exit with him.Otherwise, the three of them would block the passage for others to walk.
Zhou Jiawei and the middle-aged man named Zhang Gong talked very intimately, and the two of them looked at Xu Zhenming's side from time to time.
Xu Zhenming also nodded to the man with a smile at this time.Although he didn't know this person, he could not lose his courtesy.
What's more, people who can chat with Zhou Jiawei in English must be good at mixing in the United States, and maybe they are also a great technical expert.Yiming Group currently lacks the expertise in chip manufacturing and design. How can he leave a bad impression when he meets?
as predicted.
After Zhou Jiawei and this person were separated, they came to Xu Zhenming's side and said, "Mr. Xu! The person named Zhang Nykin just now is my colleague at Intel. He is the production supervisor of the chip factory and is from Wanwan. Our relationship is very close. Good friend."
Hearing this, Xu Zhenming had a new eye.He smiled and asked Zhou Jiawei, "Did Zhang Nyjin come back to visit relatives in Wanwan?"
"No! He has resigned and is about to join Moss Electrical and Mechanical Company!" Zhou Jiawei shook his head.
He told Xu Zhenming that Zhang Neojin was invited by Zhang Zhong to come to Wanwan to help Moss develop new products.
The speaker has no intention and the listener has the heart.
When Xu Zhenming heard the news, he had an idea, "Zhou Gong, what's the impression of Zhang Neojin on our mainland? Is it possible to work in our Yiming Group Company?"
"This...I'm afraid it's hard to say! Moreover, we are here to work at Moss Electrical and Mechanical Co., and we have to dig people in person. I'm afraid it's not good!" Zhou Jiawei was embarrassed, his face turned red and looked at Xu Zhenming.
But Xu Zhenming felt that it didn't matter. As long as Zhang Nyjin was willing to go to the mainland, he could agree to any conditions.
In another time and space, in order to develop chips in China, a 908 project was spent several billion yuan.When the chip production line was completed and put into production, the technological level was three or four generations behind the world level.
Not that much!The production line with an annual output of 1.2 million pieces is not capable of producing chips!It feels sad to think about it!
Later, this production line was managed by Wanwan's technical team, and it was immediately effective to reach production.Therefore, the management team mastering the chip production process is very important.
However, Xu Zhenming is a layman, and there is no problem at all if he wants him to engage in mechanical manufacturing. If he engages in chip production, he can only get blind.
This is also one of the main reasons why he told Zhou Jiawei the proposal!
"Gong Zhou! Can you make a call with Zhang Neojin right away, how about a cup of coffee together?" Thinking of this, Xu Zhenming said cheeky again.
At this time, he took out the enthusiasm of the young man to chase his girlfriend, and he had a posture of not giving up until he reached his goal.
Zhou Jiawei couldn't help it. Seeing his boss, he must meet and chat with Zhang Nyjin, so he had to bite the bullet and call.
Fortunately, Zhang Nyujin did not leave immediately. He went to the bathroom in the Jigang Building and agreed to Zhou Jiawei's appointment.
"It would be great if Zhang Nyongjin came to our company. What he is best at is production management. R&D is definitely not good. It's better to be the director of the production plant. We will cooperate together, it must be very good!"
Seeing that things went smoothly, Zhou Jiawei had a new idea after hanging up the phone.
Not long after, he and Xu Zhenming came to the lobby of the airport terminal building.
Forty-five-year-old Zhang Nyjin took the gift box, and stood there smiling while waiting for their arrival.
"Hello Zhang Gong! My name is Xu Zhenming, and Zhou Gong is a colleague!" At this time, Xu Zhenming took the initiative to shook hands with Zhang Neojin, introduced himself, and exchanged business cards.
He doesn't have any unnatural or shy expressions at all, he can move freely and is very atmospheric.
After looking at Xu Zhenming carefully, Zhang Nyjin laughed loudly, "You are not Zhou Sheng’s colleague, you should be Zhou Sheng’s boss! Xu Dong, am I right?"
At this time, Xu Zhenming had no choice but to smile and nod.He wants to invite Zhang Nyjin to drink coffee in the coffee shop in the waiting hall.
Zhang Neojin also has this intention.He saw that Xu Zhenming's face was very young, probably not more than twenty years old.
"This Xu Zhenming is only eighteen or nineteen years old. It is certainly not easy to get Zhou Jiawei to work for him. Or his father is more powerful!" Zhang Nyjin looked at Xu Zhenming suspiciously.
After the three people came to the coffee shop to take their seats, Zhang Nyjin asked Xu Zhenming with a smile: "Mr. Xu, you Chaoming company, how do you think of base stations and cellular phones that engage in PHS digital mobile communication technology? This technology has been eliminated!"
He is right that PHS digital mobile communication technology has no market in the United States.
Motorola has launched G2 base stations and G2 mobile phones, and Americans directly use the G2 mobile network with stronger signal and higher anti-theft level.
In the world, only island countries and the mainland have forcibly promoted this technology.The mainland only shut down PHS base stations in the early 21st century.But the island countries have been doing this kind of technology, and they can even evolve to 4G networks.
Xu Zhenming could not reveal these secrets.
Therefore, he smiled bitterly and said: "I think PHS technology is a cellular communication technology for the poor! And since the mainland is relatively poor, this technology should be promoted so that the people can afford mobile phones!"
This is a very good reason, and it is also in line with the good tradition of Chinese people who are always more diligent and thrifty.
Therefore, Zhang Neojin also agrees with Xu Zhenming's view.
"You want to make your own chips?" He was taken aback when he heard that Chaoming was preparing to produce its own RF communication chips and mobile phone chips.
Xu Zhenming looked at him and said, "Why not? We Chinese are not stupid than Americans?"
Hearing this, Zhang Neojin smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Seeing this, Xu Zhenming said again: "We only make communication chips, and we should be able to catch up with the Americans!"
"But the mainland is an embargoed area for advanced equipment. There is no advanced chip production line. What are you going to take to compete with the Americans?" Zhang Neojin was very disapproving.
Seeing this, Xu Zhenming smiled, "We will also find a solution for the chip production line! If Zhang Sheng comes to our Chaoming company and cooperates with Zhou Sheng, I think we should be able to solve this problem. Big deal, we ourselves R&D production line!"
"Hey...it's too difficult!" Zhang Neojin shook his head regretfully.
This time he came to work at Wanwan Moss Mechatronics, in fact, he was actually preparing to give the Chinese people a good breath, helping Moss Mechatronics to improve the manufacturing and design level, and use the chip production line that is a generation behind the Americans to make high-quality chips.
Seeing that Zhang Nyjin was not optimistic about his company, Xu Zhenming couldn't clingingly to him, and ended the meeting after a few small chats.
After saying goodbye to Zhang Nyjin, he and Zhou Jiawei, Lu Qingshan, Hu Chunmei and others took a taxi to the headquarters of Moss Electrical and Mechanical Services.
The door of Moss is very grand and the business volume is also very full, all of which benefit from the massive demand for computers in the mainland.In the current mainland computer market, most of the accessories such as board cards in computers are products of Wanwan Company.
Therefore, Moss Mechanical & Electrical Company is still relatively bullish, and is not very optimistic about the tape-out business of Xu Zhenming and others.They were received by a middle-aged man wearing gold glasses.
The middle-aged male surnamed Luo is a director of the production department, with a typical Wanwan face.He looked at the business card handed by Xu Zhenming, and said with a faint expression: "CPLD chips should start with 100,000 chips, and FPGAs should start with 100,000 chips! Otherwise..."
What he meant: The quantity is too small, and Moss has no time to arrange such small-volume orders.
A CPLD chip costs US$5.2, and the price of test and tape-out is calculated separately; FPGA chip costs US$5.5, and the price of test and tape-out is calculated separately.Calculated in this way, Xu Zhenming will spend at least one hundred and fifty dollars to get qualified CPLD and FPGA chips.
The number of 200,000 chips is relatively large for Yiming Group, but for the production line of Moss, it only takes 10 days to complete.
"Mr. Xu, do you want to think about it first?" Director Luo said lightly when seeing Xu Zhenming's face dark and uncertain.He picked up his teacup and sipped his tea, ready to see off the guests.
At this time, Xu Zhenming's eyes suddenly turned, and she said with radiance, "I will make 200,000 chips for each of these two chips. Is there any discount?"
"This...this can be considered! I can tape you out three times for free!" Now it's Director Luo's turn to think about gains and losses.
Customers who tape out 400,000 films at a time must have sales channels.
The customers that Moss Electrical and Mechanical Services need most are those with sales channels!
Therefore, Xu Zhenming temporarily decided to double the order quantity for each chip, and must finalize the order contract with Director Luo on the spot.
At this time, Zhou Jiawei began to worry about Xu Zhenming's decision.
"Mr. Xu! What to do with the extra one million US dollars?" He hinted that Xu Zhenming should not pay for the extra one million US dollars.
Xu Zhenming decided it didn't matter. As long as the Longteng EDA software and the Longteng 133CPU can be successfully developed, the 200,000 chips in his hand can always be sold, and they will be sold to the computer manufacturer of the Longbow Group.
"Oh! Alright!"
Zhou Jiawei sighed and shook his head slightly.
He knew that Xu Zhenming was rich, and that more than one million US dollars was nothing to Xu Zhenming.
Thinking of this, he plans to review the circuit layout of CPLD and FPGA again to reduce BUG and the number of tape-outs.
