Rebirth in 1989: Creating the Chinese Technology Empire

"Is this a chip design?"

After looking at all the drawings carefully, Song Zhipei pulled out a few drawings and looked at Xu Huasheng in surprise.

"Yes, teacher, this is the design drawing of a video decoding chip. I designed it myself. The principle is..."

Xu Huasheng began to tell Song Zhipei about the decoding chip.Song Zhipei also studied chip design. After Xu Huasheng explained it for a while, Song Zhipei immediately understood what was going on.

"Teacher, these drawings are the video disc projector I designed. This is a video disc projector for home use that can be directly connected to the TV in your home. With this, you only need a TV to turn your home into a home theater. We are here You can watch movies and catch up on TV series at your own home..."

Along with Xu Huasheng's explanation, Song Zhipei gained a certain understanding of video disc players.

"This thing is indeed a vacancy in the market..."

Song Zhipei nodded, this thing sounds really good.

"Teacher, some things cannot be solved by just one more scientist. What China lacks now is not one or two chip scientists, but related industries. Only by building the industry can we promote the development of related basics and integrate industry, academia and research. , production is the most important..."

Xu Huasheng looked at Song Zhipei, he knew his teacher's feelings.But he knows better that compared to a few chip experts, the development of the semiconductor industry is the most important.

"Let's go to the laboratory with me..."

Song Zhipei directly picked up the drawings and took Song Zhipei to the school's top laboratory.

As the top university in China, Yenching University is also the largest institution in China developing semiconductor majors.The laboratory equipment at Yenching University is still very advanced.

Song Zhipei brought Xu Huasheng to the laboratory, and then Song Zhipei called on several of his students to start rubbing the chips according to Xu Huasheng's design.

Yes, it's just rubbing by hand. With the help of the school's equipment, Song Zhipei and the others can rub chips made of 0.8 microns by hand.

The decoder chip designed by Xu Huasheng only supports 5 microns, which is nothing to the lab of Yenching University.

The chip designed by Xu Huasheng fully considered the capabilities of China's current semiconductor industry.

At present, China already has a 5-micron wafer fab. In fact, China’s semiconductor industry is not too late to develop. The Fourth Ministry of Machinery Industry’s Wuxi 1980 Factory, which began construction in 742, received an investment of 2.8 million yuan from the State Council.The plant introduced a complete set of three-inch semiconductor wafer fabs (1980 micron technology) from Toshiba of Japan in 5 and started production in 1982. It is considered to be China's first large-scale semiconductor wafer fab.

The main products of Wuxi 742 Factory are integrated circuits used in Shaanxi color TV production lines.

Since 1984, local governments, state-owned enterprises and universities have also begun to introduce semiconductor fabs from abroad. From 1984 to 1990, China introduced and constructed a total of 33 semiconductor fabs.However, due to the limitations of the times and many other reasons, most semiconductor fabs at that time did not have large-scale production and commercial operation capabilities.

In the early days, China's semiconductor industry was actually not far behind, including lithography machines.

After a lot of work, Song Zhipei and the others took out the things on Xu Huasheng's drawings, and after some assembly, the world's first video player was born.

Song Zhipei got another movie CD through his own channels, which was the classic "A Better Tomorrow". Then Song Zhipei took the DVD player and Xu Huasheng back to his home.

When the video actually started playing on the TV at home, Song Zhipei's little heart was beating fast.

He didn't expect that this transcendental thing was actually right in front of him.

The world's first VCD home video player, with the launch of this product in the future, this thing may leave a mark in history.

"Hua Sheng, maybe you are right."

Song Zhipei looked at Xu Huasheng with pride on his face.

"Teacher, I firmly believe that the future belongs to us, China. We will have things that European and American countries have, and we will have things that European and American countries don't have."

Xu Huasheng's words made Song Zhipei laugh.

"Take this sample back with you. Take this CD with you too."

Song Zhipei said with a smile, Xu Huasheng nodded.

"Teacher, I want to trouble you with one more thing. I haven't registered the patent for vcd yet. I know you also know people overseas..."

Xu Huasheng's words made Song Zhipei laugh.

"Leave this matter to me. You can sort out the patented technology. I have a classmate who is now a lawyer in the United States..."

Song Zhipei nodded.Song Zhipei also attaches great importance to patents.Although China doesn't pay much attention to this thing now, Song Zhipei knows that in foreign countries, patent rights are taken very seriously.

The DVD player will definitely be sold abroad. If there is no patent by then, it may be very troublesome.

"Okay teacher, I'll go back and sort it out..."

Xu Huasheng believed in Song Zhipei very much.Xu Huasheng knew Song Zhipei's character very well. He would always be upright and upright. For such a person, Xu Huasheng would not worry at all that he would cause trouble among them.

"Son, do you really not want to study abroad?"

Five days later, in Shenzhen, Xu Dabao was holding a black leather bag under his arm, wearing a pair of black sunglasses, wearing a belt with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth, leaning half against a black Santana, looking like a nouveau riche.

Seeing Xu Huasheng coming out of the station with his bag on his back, Xu Dabao quickly put out his cigarette and threw it aside, then greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Well, I won't go..."

Seeing his father dressed like this, Xu Huasheng couldn't help but shake his head.

"Well, it's okay not to go. The United States is so far away, and it's so inconvenient to go back and forth. I heard that everyone in the United States has a gun, and it's so chaotic. If something happens to you where you go, your mother won't eat me. . Good job coming back. Come back and work with dad. Don’t underestimate the scope of our family, but it’s not a problem to make a hundred and eighty thousand a year. From now on, you can just enjoy your life. Why do you have to go to school? Your dad and I were in elementary school You haven’t graduated yet, so you can’t make a lot of money..."

Xu Dabao had a loud voice and took Xu Huasheng into the car directly.

In this day and age, people who can earn 2000 to [-] yuan a year are definitely not ordinary people.You must know that in this era, housing prices in Shenzhen were only [-] per square meter.

One hundred thousand can buy a small house.

If you don't spend the money you earn frivolously and buy a house, in 20 years you can live a comfortable life as a landlord.

"You should smoke less in the future, it's not good for your lungs..."

Xu Huasheng couldn't help nagging as he looked at his father who was still smoking while driving.Thinking of his father, Xu Huasheng admired him very much.My father is definitely a strange man, no, he is God’s favorite.

My father's hometown is in Henan Province, and it is no exaggeration to describe the family as too poor to open the pot.

My father is the eldest son in the family. Because the family was too poor, he dropped out of school early. When I was 12 years old, I ran away from home and joined the society.

I have traveled south and north. In my father's own words, he has done all kinds of work and suffered all kinds of crimes. He has also been jailed several times for speculation.

When I was 22 years old, I met my mother. I don’t know why she was deceived by him. He just fell in love with a pretty and beautiful woman.

Later, the young couple came to Shencheng and took advantage of the spring breeze of reform to become the first people to reap the dividends.

His own family was also poor in the past. Xu Huasheng remembers that his family lived in a small rental house when he was a child. He really misses those days.

In the past few years, my father's small factory has received a lot of orders and made some money, which made the family rich.
