After a thousand years of trading, start a million barrels of oil

Chapter 172 A Letter
Hearing Meng Wanzhou's suggestion, Jiang Fan froze for a moment, subconsciously pointed to himself and said, "Me?"

He feels that this kind of thing is usually done by people of high morals. Although he has contributed a lot, but he has only been in this industry for a few months, so he is really not a high-spirited person.

So he quickly waved his hands and said:

"No, no, I'm not very talented, and I'm just a fledgling. Besides, many people don't know me yet, so the effect will be compromised. It's more appropriate for a few seniors to write."

In order to improve the confidentiality of this chip research, companies in the entire chip alliance have divided into core teams and peripheral teams.

The core team understands the overall situation, and the surrounding teams only cooperate to complete related work. They only know that they are making chips, but they don't know whether it is 5nm or 12nm.

Similarly, the core team knows about Jiang Fan, because the difficulty is on their side. Jiang Fan will often come to the scene or give them face-to-face advice through video, but the surrounding teams only know that there is a chip alliance, but they are not familiar with Jiang Fan. With such a character, Jiang Fan also felt that it was inappropriate for him to write about it.

Zhang Rujin laughed a few times and said, "Mr. Jiang, don't be shy. As the saying goes, it's not about being young. This time, the Chip Alliance was able to establish and achieve the current impressive results. You, Mr. Jiang, undoubtedly contributed the most.

Whether it is the provision of the initial core information or the resolution of difficulties encountered in the subsequent research and development process, it can be said that you are completely unable to do without Mr. Jiang, so in terms of contribution and weight, Mr. Jiang is well-deserved.

Then there is the question that everyone is not familiar with you, at least you are far more important than anyone else in the hearts of our core teams of dozens or hundreds of companies.

These technicians don't only care about fame compared to other people, they only want you to show your strength before they are convinced.

And who do they admire the most?Is it my old man?I dared to say that ten years ago, but now, this seat must be Mr. Jiang.

They are convinced by you one by one. When encountering problems, they never consider the possibility that they cannot be solved. Dare to try until the last day and still not panic.

So, who do you think is more convincing to these core personnel?
Therefore, Mr. Jiang, you are well-deserved to write. "

Everyone nodded frequently after hearing this. This is actually their idea, including the mention of Mr. Ren and Mr. Zhang Rujin just now, it is more of a politeness.

But in terms of who deserves the most, it is undoubtedly the young Mr. Jiang in front of him. Many bosses in the semiconductor chip industry are engineers who came out to start their own businesses, and they understand technology. Naturally, they know how good Mr. Jiang is.

In addition, I often see a whole team discussing problems that cannot be solved for a long time. When Mr. Jiang arrives, he can give a feasible solution after just browsing through it.

Whether it's them or their team, they all admire Jiang Fan, so they naturally feel that this one is the most suitable one to write about.

"As for the peripheral team." Zhang Rujin paused here. This is indeed a problem. The peripheral team is also very important, and the number of people accounts for 9%. It can be regarded as equally important as the core team.

But they are not familiar with Jiang Fan, so if it was written by Jiang Fan, it may not have a great impact on them, and the effect may be compromised.

At this moment, Meng Wanzhou smiled and said: "It's not a big problem. When signing the signature, put Mr. Zhang's name on it too, and hang it behind Mr. Jiang, so that outsiders will know its weight.

And with the support of two big bosses, even the core team will become more important, but Zhang Lao will be wronged to set off for Mr. Jiang. "

Zhang Rujin smiled and waved his hands and said, "It's okay to be a green leaf for Mr. Jiang. It's my old man's honor, so it's settled."

Liu Xiang cuts silicon ingots, which belongs to the last major link of chip manufacturing, and his company has also been selected into the chip alliance this time.

He was quite happy at first. Although he didn't know the specific details, he generally knew that he was working on more advanced chips. As a Chinese, he has been engaged in this field for more than ten years, so he is naturally very proud.

It seemed to be going well at first, but it didn’t work for a few months, and he actually launched a 5-nanometer chip, which really made him very proud. Every time he went back to drink with a group of old friends, he still had to mention this matter. It is quite an honor to receive praise and thumbs up from my friends.

But not long ago, various rumors arose on the Internet, what:
'The technical data of the China Chip Alliance's 5-nanometer chips are all stolen from others, and they are bought by people who then bring the data out. '

The specific method of bringing it out is also written later, which is similar to the Prism Gate where Snowden brought out his own information from Bureau A of Eagle Sauce Country.

At the beginning, Snowden stuffed the data storage card into the Rubik's Cube, casually threw it to the security guards during the security check, passed through the security check gate as if nothing had happened, and then took back all the data with Eagle Sauce to monitor the global scandal and made it public.

The publisher described that the theft of technical data such as chips and lithography machines of the other party was also done through a Micro SD card that would not trigger metal detectors, and then the theft was completed in a similar way, which is very clear.

Everyone also believed it. After all, if the core secrets of Bureau A of Yingjiang State can be brought out, it seems that it is not incomprehensible for some technical data of a company to be brought out.

When Liu Xiang saw this, the pride in his heart suddenly disappeared. It turned out that the major breakthrough in chip technology that he was proud of before turned out to be because of: being a thief.

And there are doubts on the Internet, if it is not by extraordinary means, why can such a breakthrough be achieved in a short period of time?Isn't this questionable?

In addition, we have always been good at reverse engineering through other people's things. Although the two are fundamentally different, they are deliberately put together by those who want to, as if there is a real connection.

Liu Xiang comforted himself, this is not a big deal, just make it out, don't worry so much.

But another very popular comment made him a little uneasy, writing:
"The chip alliance spent a lot of money on this chip, and all the cash flow has been invested. It is already unsustainable, and the wages are almost out of pay.

And because of the theft, they may have to face prosecution and subsequent huge compensation.

Moreover, although its own 5nm chips have been spread in China, it will take a very long time to complete the balance of payments.

However, based on the current situation, and due to the new round of external suppression that may be faced by being accused of theft, the enterprises may not be able to survive until then.

At that time, not only will the entire chip alliance fall apart, but a large number of employees may also be dismissed. '

Liu Xiang was very nervous just looking at him. He was middle-aged, with seniors and children, his son was in college, and the mortgage he just bought two years ago was still repaying. It was the time when he was in urgent need of money.

Some project bonuses were indeed issued a while ago, but although they participated in this project, they only cooperated with the surrounding area and did not increase the workload because of this project, so although the bonus amount given was not bad, it was far from To the extent that these problems can be completely solved.

But if this project eventually exhausts the company's cash flow, leading to failure to pay wages or even dismiss them, it would be a big mistake.

Why do you have nothing to do to research new products, compete with others, and finally fail and let ordinary employees like us take the blame.

So he was worried but also a little angry, why the consequences of other people's wrong decisions are always borne by them, the bottom people?
Therefore, he has been a little slack in his work for the past two days, delaying the progress as much as possible within the scope of his authority, causing some troubles, it is best to let this new project become obsolete, and everyone can continue to do the original work in peace and stability, and get the original salary That's fine.

But he is actually entangled in his heart. The company is actually good to them. If it really takes advantage of this chip research and develops, everyone can share some benefits, so the bottom line interests and long-term expectations have formed a conflict.

They are actually guessing about a lot of things. No one really knows what the details are, so everyone can’t help but chat about it every day when they go to work, and discuss whether they will really be fired. , feeling a little panicked.

On this day, Liu Xiang had just finished sending his son to college, and spent a small [-] yuan on various tuition fees, accommodation fees, living expenses, computers, etc., and then a few thousand yuan in mortgages.

Thinking about the continuous expenditure of expenses in the future, I suddenly became nervous about my work again. I just wanted to talk to my colleagues about the situation, and suddenly saw an email from the company sent to my mobile mailbox. I opened it and saw that it was a An open letter to all staff.
