the world is at stake

But it took a long time before a rookie whispered: "We signed a training contract with the company's legal department before we came here, and we must work for five years before we can leave normally, otherwise we will have to pay huge liquidated damages.

The personnel manager also talked about it, saying that it was 'ugly words first'.The group offers a salary level that far exceeds that of domestic graduates, in the hope that we can work for the group with peace of mind.

Salaries in the United States are indeed several times higher than in China.

It would be a lie to say that we are not moved at all.Just kidding in private, everyone also said that doing dishes in the United States is better than returning to China to work on semiconductors?

But from the current point of view, the group has clear rewards and punishments and is strong enough that no one dares to cross the line easily.This is actually a good thing for us, saving unnecessary troubles. "

Ruben was disappointed.

But the rookies still have some things to say, and the group's personnel department has some things that are even more ugly-'Holy Light' can be the most profitable oil business between China and the United States, and there are people on both sides.

Even if they run away as black households in the United States, 'Holy Light' can find out any hiding person with the help of local forces in the United States.The group's understanding of the United States is definitely better than that of a rookie who just came to the United States.

The ugly words of the personnel department of the 'Holy Light' were straightforward, and they also frankly revealed the connection between the group and all walks of life in the United States.Neither the Immigration Service nor the Chinese community, the two main sanctuaries, will offer any help to defectors.

"Ah... this is really dictatorial, too authoritarian." Reuben cursed angrily: "You should sue, the United States is a free and democratic world. There will be lawyers who uphold justice to provide you with free services."

Appeal?

The faces of the rookies instantly collapsed.

The rookie who spoke changed his tone, and replied bluntly: "We just look for a job to earn money. Now it's not like 30 or [-] years ago, when no one wants to lose their reputation and become a traitor."

Chapter 15

At the beginning of June, Qin Qing flew to Richmond, Virginia, USA with the fourth batch of intern engineers, and then transferred to a bus to the fab in Raymond.

Robert from the local trade union was making noise outside the factory, and Qin Qing saw all the reports from Raymond TV at night.

When Luo Zhiheng and Ruben thought about their future, the rookie from Guoan also stared at the entire factory area with vigilant eyes.

There will be more than 1000 Chinese engineers coming to Raymond Fab. In addition, more than 100 personnel transferred by Xiao Jinlang from various domestic ministries, commissions and institutes will be in charge of management.

The general manager of the fab is a woman in her 40s, surnamed Wu.Her origin is a bit special - 'Holy Light' invited her from 'Huawei' through Xiao Jinlang.

There are only a few people under Zhou Qingfeng, one carrot and one hole, no one has the time or ability to engage in business management.Competent managers at home and abroad, only "Huawei" can catch his eyes.

It's just that it's not good to blatantly pry the corner of "Huawei" and it is easy to cause discord.So Yilan lowered her stance, asked Xiao Jinlang to help, and used semi-official channels to 'invite' a group of management personnel.

Only Uncle Zhou, who has a different brain circuit, can think of this kind of thing of raising other executives with his own money.

This is equivalent to being tied to "Huawei" at the beginning of the establishment of "Holy Light", and building a subsidiary company for others at their own expense.

Xiao Jinlang felt strange, and 'Huawei' was even more strange. Only Yilan could roughly understand Zhou Qingfeng—Victor just wanted to do something, and he didn't care too much about the results being shared by the domestic company.

Manager Wu is from the human resources department of 'Huawei'. He was originally in charge of overseas recruitment, and he is not a particularly important senior employee.She wasn't very happy when she was first 'invited' here, feeling like she was being exiled.

After all, Raymond, a broken fab, was unable to make a profit because of its backward technology, and it was about to close down.

But after staying for two months, Manager Wu found himself on a rapidly rising platform—first of all, 'Shengguang' was rich.

Having money is so important, it is a necessary condition for becoming a big company.

It can't be the usual little spare money, it must be a large amount of sufficient liquidity, the kind that can draw hundreds of millions of dollars at will.

From the book view, "Holy Light" can be regarded as poor. At the most embarrassing time, the liquidity was less than one million US dollars, as if it would not be able to pay wages in the next second.

But whenever the group has no money, Vice President Yilan in the imperial capital seems to be able to cast magic.As long as the finance department issues an early warning, within two hours, a sum of funds ranging from several million to hundreds of millions of dollars will be remitted.

The origin of the money is inexplicable, some are overseas remittances, some are bank loans, and some are paid by cooperative manufacturers.The financial department can only add a note of 'President Support' when entering the account.

It is with this constant inflow of funds that Manager Wu in Raymond can make a big move to display his talents-it is not easy to revive a fab that is about to go bankrupt due to distraction.

The original management was dismissed, low-efficiency employees were dismissed, and high-level talents were recruited. Three months of "boning and healing" put Raymond Wafer back on track.

This sense of accomplishment greatly boosted Manager Wu's confidence, which was much better than being a small boss of human resources.The group only looks at the results, and she has the final say on the fab with more than 1000 people.

Even the headquarter of 'Huawei' is very curious, and from time to time asks more than a dozen middle-level managers invited by 'Holy Light' to learn about the development of this new company.

The situation obtained is - 'Holy Light' is developing extremely fast.

All the low-interest loans from the China Development Bank were in place, and the oil trade volume exceeded US$[-] million in April.It is planned to complete the land acquisition and leveling of the fab in Ganzhou, and the factory will be built soon.

More than [-] semiconductor talents have been recruited.One-third of them are from several large overseas factories, one-third are from domestic scientific research institutes, and one-third are from graduates recruited by the school.

More than $50 billion in semiconductor fab construction and equipment procurement is underway.

Foreign manufacturers are still very reserved about such 'small orders'.However, many related domestic manufacturers flocked to them like sharks smelling blood.

You must know that 'Holy Light' was only registered and established in March, and it is a miracle that it achieved such an achievement in June.But after a little investigation - oh... it turned out to be a semi-official status, with the support of the elders of the Standing Committee.

Understood!

The background is very deep!

Afterwards, it was much easier for 'Holy Light' to ask 'Huawei' for more management talents, and the two sides realized a certain sense of free flow of personnel.

But when Qin Qing arrived at the factory and shook hands with Manager Wu, he knew that there was a deeper secret behind it—Uncle Zhou was messing around again.

In the information provided at the end of April, Zhou Qingfeng gave a strong warning—Japanese bastard, four-star admiral, commander of the US Pacific Fleet, Harry Harris is in danger of going alone in the South China Sea.

After the Gulf War, the U.S. military was a bit disobedient, and it was difficult for the U.S. Congress to effectively control it.The bombing of the Chinese embassy in Yugoslavia is a typical example. Its military generals intend to expand the war and profit from it.

In 2016, the Philippines launched a 'South China Sea Arbitration' at the instigation of the United States.At that time, President Aquino III sent people to The Hague to find a "pheasant court" in an attempt to stumbling China.

The Yankees want to use force to force China to accept this arbitration, and the Pacific Fleet is the executor.

Harry Harris, as the admiral of the fleet, wanted to make political capital in it.In the tense stalemate, he bypassed the authorization of the US Department of Defense and ordered a war against China.

At that time, the Chinese navy had already started to "make dumplings", but its overall strength was still very poor. 'Shandong' and 055 are still under construction, and 'Liaoning' is a training ship.

There are still a bunch of public knowledge rampant in the country, and a real fight will guarantee that a lot of leading parties pretending to be "reasonable" will jump out, just to prove that China has violated international laws and attracted "just" punishment from the United States.

Just like the outbreak of the 'new crown' in early 2020-weakness is a sin.

At that time, the Yankees on the opposite side were the dual aircraft carrier formation of the USS Reagan and the USS Stennis, and they entered a wartime state of news control and radio silence, ready to fight at any time.

On the one hand, the enemy is pressing down on the border, forcing the main force of the three PLA fleets to gather in the South China Sea, and the four admirals are stationed in Sanya, and the atmosphere of war is getting stronger and stronger.

In early June, the Sino-US strategic dialogue collapsed, and domestic military and political tensions were high.

If the two nuclear powers really fought, the consequences would be disastrous.At that time, the American media added fuel to the fire and reported it wantonly, wishing there would be another 'Gulf War'.

On the other side, every six hours, Elan would hand over a piece of information from 'Victor' to Xiao Jinlang.At this time, Uncle Zhou used the information in his hand as a shit stick, stabbing Harris' asshole desperately.

Including the wartime deployment of the Pacific Fleet, including Harris' blatant statement that "the war begins tonight", and even the approximate location of the two US aircraft carriers.

This is very convenient for 'Dongfeng 21D' and 'Dongfeng 26' to play the 'Tathagata Palm' that fell from the sky.

Even if the U.S. dual aircraft carrier formation takes high-speed maneuvers on the sea, evades satellite detection, sneaks to the sea off the Philippines, etc., it is useless.

The Chinese navy announced in July that it will conduct military exercises in the South China Sea, and then the 'H[-]K' with anti-ship missiles jumped out of the exercise circle and appeared near Scarborough Shoal.

The official media also released photos of the cruise, clearly telling the Yankees—don’t hide, I know your two aircraft carriers are off the coast of the Philippines.Airborne anti-ship missiles may not be able to handle you, but anti-ship ballistic missiles certainly can.

The hide-and-seek between the two sides will continue from early May to early July.

During the period, the "pheasant court" in The Hague still jumped out from time to time, announcing the postponement of the announcement of the arbitration results, in order to provide time for the US military to adjust its deployment.

This matter has been going on until Duterte came to power.

Lao Du came to power to reverse the national policy of being the dog's leg of the United States. In July, he discovered that the United States could not deal with China. In September, he scolded the United States as a son of a bitch. In October, he simply visited China.

When Lao Du even met with the Chinese business union two years later, he publicly stated jokingly-let the Philippines become a province of China, just like Fujian Province.

The Philippines Province of the People's Republic of China-he really said so!

This incident was filmed on video, and a bunch of people at the scene were laughing.

It was because of the discovery that the American father was not working well. After 2016, the entire ASEAN began to reverse its political attitude—even Singapore, which has always been anti-China, refused to recruit, and began to kneel and lick.

Without Zhou Qingfeng disrupting the situation, China can perfectly handle the entire 'South China Sea crisis'.But when he stabs Harris in the back, things get really funny.

An hour ago, the U.S. fleet maneuvered at high speed on the sea to get rid of the detection of China's low-orbit satellites and prepare for an attack.The carrier-based aircraft took off and the nuclear submarine was in place.

An hour later, Uncle Zhou's information arrived.He had his own channels to learn and verify the specific location of the US aircraft carrier, and then sent it to Ilan, and was quickly reported.

An hour ago, the top domestic leaders were still on the alert for the competition created by the Americans, ready to start a fight with the world's number one power at any time—this fight might be a nuclear war.

In the next hour, Uncle Zhou's intelligence can greatly alleviate the anxiety caused by tension, allowing the domestic naval battlefield monitoring forces to regain control of the US military's dynamics.

An hour ago, an angry Harris crossed the US Department of Defense and ordered the fleet to attack the Chinese navy, intending to make matters worse.

An hour later, the U.S. Department of Defense received a warning from the Chinese navy, indicating that Harris' intentions had been seen through—if you don't tighten the leash, I'll kill the dog for you.

It's June now, and it's 30 days before the situation subsides.

But the domestic elders have tasted the great benefits brought by the 'deep sea' of 'Victor', and they even asked Xiao Jinlang to stop 'Victor' from passing such frequent information.

China can handle the 'South China Sea Crisis' well, but it cannot bear the loss of a hidden 'deep sea'.Let 'Victor' calm down and lurk in nothing catastrophic.

After gaining the trust and appreciation of the elders, Uncle Zhou just made a small request—this is not a credit but also a hard work. Can you give me more oil import quotas?

US$50 billion is not enough, how about increasing it to US$100 billion?

Domestic 'refinery' demand is too great.In particular, Shandong's "local refineries" are really blooming everywhere, and they can sell as much high-quality crude oil as they want, with a price increase of 20.00%.

It is too expensive for 'Holy Light' to engage in semiconductors, costing hundreds of millions of dollars at every turn.Without the subsidy of oil trade, it is really unbearable!

The elders took a look-the internationalist fighters have traveled thousands of miles to build my country's semiconductors. How is $100 billion enough?Give you two hundred and five!

Venezuela owes a lot of domestic debt and can only repay the debt with low-quality heavy oil.Then reduce the imports from big Saudi dogs.Anyway, a big dog is not a good thing.

Chapter 16 The Inner Ghost

The more things Zhou Qingfeng did, the more people in the country became more curious about him.

Xiao Jinlang led the 'Victoria's Secret' team in the imperial capital to help Yilan promote the domestic version of the semiconductor production line of 'Holy Light'.

Qin Qing was sent to Raymond with the position of personnel cadre, and came to see this foreign fab on the ground.

On the day of his arrival, Qin Qing realized that the local residents were resistant to the Chinese buying the factory.For the next two weeks, she will mainly talk to employees in different positions to find out their mentality.

At night, Qin Qing wrote a report in the office, explaining the status of the factory to the headquarters of 'Shengguang' in the imperial capital.Her fingers tapped on the keyboard continuously, and lines of characters flashed on the screen.

"In the case of sufficient funds, General Manager Wu's work is going well. The domestic engineers are in a stable mood, and staff training and production line updates are advancing.

For their own consideration, some external employees do not want the group's training work to threaten their positions, and they are afraid of the relative basic salary and high-efficiency work of our personnel.

This is understandable, but difficult to change.

Negotiations for the purchase of important equipment such as 4nm lithography machines from 'ASML' are currently going well and are expected to arrive in July next year.At that time, the construction of the Ganzhou plant should be completed, and the [-]th generation DDR memory products will be supplied to the domestic market. "

After writing this, Qin Qing stopped for a while.Looking out from her office, the silent night in Siye is a brightly lit high-tech factory area, which is also the best embodiment of the ambition of 'Holy Light'.

At present, Dutch company 'ASML' already has a [-]nm lithography machine, 'TSMC' can buy it casually, but Shengguang can only buy [-]nm ones.

Twenty is twenty, the process will be considered advanced within five years. 'Holy Light' gritted his teeth and ordered four sets at a time.One hundred million each, priced in U.S. dollars.

A lithography machine can process 150 to [-] wafers per hour.The processing price per wafer is about $[-].

With 24 hours of non-stop work, the output value is more than 2000 million US dollars a day.Theoretically, the annual output value of a lithography machine can reach more than 80 billion US dollars.

The reason why the semiconductor industry represented by 'TSMC' can become Taiwan's money bag against the mainland is due to this huge profit!

With a 4nm lithography machine, it can only be said that it has the ability to produce [-]th generation DDR memory, and there is still a long way to go before the product is produced.

'Holy Light' bought the memory patent of 'Qimonda' in a package, but someone needs to use it.This is also the reason why the group recruits troops everywhere and engages in training.

The domestic memory market has been controlled by the United States, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan.These vampires caught fire at the factory, watered the production line, and then raised prices skyrocketing.

According to Zhou Qingfeng's memory, global memory prices will skyrocket in 17. The 8G memory has risen from RMB [-]-[-] to RMB [-]-[-], directly doubling——real estate speculation is not as profitable as speculation in RAM.

In addition to memory, the same is true for solid-state storage.

'Samsung' suffered a major setback in the global mobile phone market in 16 due to spontaneous battery combustion.The 'Galaxy' brand that was originally in full swing was overthrown by 'Huawei'.

But 'Samsung' relied on memory and solid-state price increases, and it was all lost to make up for it-by the end of the year, not only did it not lose money, but it made a lot of money.

Zhou Qingfeng gritted his teeth and put on four expensive lithography machines, hoping to finish the production line next year, rushing to ship goods to attack 'Samsung's' price increase strategy.

Don't let the Korean stick be too arrogant.

'Samsung Electronics' accounts for 30.00% of the profits of 'Samsung Group' with 70.00% of sales.If you can't rely on memory and solid state to restore blood, it may drag down the entire 'Samsung Group'.

Qin Qing, who was writing the report, didn't know Zhou Qingfeng's layout, but she could feel the determination and courage of 'Shengguang' to invest desperately.

The mainland only had a 14-inch wafer production line in [-], which is still very expensive now.

Raymond's [-]-inch wafer memory production line is not the only prey of 'Shengguang'. Recently, the group is still negotiating several other acquisitions, all targeting electronic companies in Europe, America, Japan and South Korea.

Forced mergers and acquisitions require huge financial support. 'Shengguang' took out all the money it earned in the oil business and spent it all on recruiting personnel, purchasing equipment, purchasing patents and merging companies.

But in the face of the gold-swallowing beast of semiconductor investment, the profit from oil is still not enough.

Uncle Zhou even relied on the "South China Sea Crisis" to show off his cuteness to the elders of the Standing Committee, trying to show his utter loyalty-I risked my life to deliver information to the country, so I must be dismissed.
