If you cheat, money will follow

"Comfort?" He Rongming shook his head and smiled bitterly:

"It would be wrong to say there is no such thing at all. There is no talent team, no technology accumulation, no supporting supply chain, and we are faced with various technological blockades. Even so, we started from scratch and explored step by step, and finally touched the threshold. When the light When the first light of the engraving machine came out, we all had tears in our eyes."

Zhao Zhiwei said: "This is already remarkable. It doesn't matter what outsiders think. What matters is that the pace of progress has not stopped."

He Rongming said: "But the pace is slow. Others are running at full speed, and we are walking fast in small steps. It seems that we are catching up, but the actual gap is getting wider and wider... Hey, I won't go into details. Minister Zhao, I have a question."

"You said."

"I'm very curious. Why did your company plunge into this field? This field is already an oligarchy era after full competition. There is not much profit to be made, and the funds required are huge..."

"Momicro is just a system integrator. Without upstream equipment suppliers to supply equipment, and without downstream foundry production support, it can do nothing."

After hearing this, Zhao Zhiwei smiled and said: "We are here to solve this problem."

"Mr. He, the question you asked is actually two questions."

"The first question is why we want to enter this field. This is the company's research decision. I am the executor and cannot answer you."

"The second question..." Zhao Zhiwei smiled:

"Our company has made adequate preparations before entering this field."

“Some time ago, we have signed cooperation agreements with more than 10 university laboratories including the Institute of Optoelectronics, Institute of Optics and Mechanics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Tsinghua University, Zhejiang University, and Harbin Institute of Technology. We have also invested in 17 related companies in the semiconductor field, and we will continue to do so in the future. Increase."

"These companies cover upstream materials, midstream equipment and downstream production ends..."

"Now after acquiring Mowei, there is still one last key link that needs to be completed. This is the next step for us to do."

"In addition, whether it is cooperation agreements with institutions of higher learning or share investments in 17 companies, they are all signed and held on behalf of others and will not be made public."

After hearing this, He Rongming was shocked and said: "Minister Zhao, are you kidding me? Are you trying to cover the entire industry chain?"

Zhao Zhiwei nodded: "This is our purpose. Under high-level coordination and dispatch, we have completed most of the work. This should not be told to you in the first place. There are two reasons for telling you."

"On the one hand, when our company enters this field, we do not consider it from a commercial perspective. We think about problems from a higher dimension, determine goals, and deploy actions;"

"On the other hand, you just said you wanted to leave. Haha, you might not be able to leave."

He Rongming: "..."

"After careful study and approval by our company's senior management, our company hopes that you can continue to serve as the chairman of MoMicroelectronics. The relevant departments should talk to you in the next few days."

He Rongming smiled bitterly: "Minister Zhao, why do you need to embarrass me, an old man, anymore?"

"It's not a embarrassment, it's a high expectation." Zhao Zhiwei said.

He Rongming said: "Minister Zhao, I admire your company's plan very much. No matter what the final result is, it is an unprecedented feat."

"However, I consider myself to be of low ability. I have been working in the Mowei Corpse Position for many years, and it is difficult for me to take on such an important responsibility. I am afraid that it will affect this great plan. In addition, my identity is in Modu Electric, and I have worked within the system for decades. I do not Hope to leave..."

Zhao Zhiwei said: "We know your concerns, so the organization will treat you with special treatment and retain your original identity and position. It will be regarded as a suspension of employment without pay..."

"As for your ability, you don't need to be modest. Both the senior management and our company believe that you are qualified for this position, and your identity is also the most suitable for this position. The conditions you have are not possessed by professional managers."

He Rongming: "I..."

"Mr. He, don't refuse in a hurry. You can wait until the conversation is organized and think about it for a few days before making a decision..."

"Our company knows that work is difficult and difficult. The gap of more than 30 years cannot be easily caught up by just a few scientific research institutions and some companies..."

"But the leader has said that nothing is difficult in the world as long as you are willing to climb. In order to add support to the climbing plan, our company decided to change the allocation - ASML's R&D funding is about 30 billion US dollars per year. We can double it to an annual investment intensity of 100 billion US dollars. Maybe it will change the situation.”

He Rongming's eyes widened and he was shocked by this number. It was very incredible: "..."

"Mr. He, listen to me first. Our company has a preliminary idea on how to use this fund and to whom."

"On the one hand, how can R&D work if there are no people or not enough people? Therefore, the first task is to recruit people. Recruit thousands of R&D engineers. The role of the human sea tactic cannot be ignored at any time and at any stage."

"The salary of R&D personnel must be high, and the food, housing, and facilities must be in line with world-class standards, so that R&D personnel can be retained, have a good job, and be productive..."

"On the other hand, it is a group operation. With Mowei Company as the transfer station, funds flow to equipment suppliers. Mowei proposes step-by-step equipment standards and requirements, and suppliers and research institutes are responsible for providing equipment that meets these standards and requirements. For equipment, R&D funds and bonuses will be given for every step that is met. If the equipment is not met, the funds will be reduced. If it is not met continuously, it will be replaced..."

"Our company believes that as long as we can cultivate the entire industry chain with high-intensity capital supply and last for 10 years, we cannot say that we can catch up with ASML, but we can at least close the gap with ASML."

"Let me say this, Mr. He, you should understand, right? With a weak foundation, lack of personnel, and technical blockade, the only thing you can do is to promote it with funds. If you decide to take up the post, you must come up with a detailed annual breakdown. research plan.”

After listening to Zhao Zhiwei's words, He Rongming was extremely shocked, so shocked that he lost his mind.

"Mr. He...Mr. He..." Zhao Zhiwei couldn't help but pushed.

"Oh... I'm sorry." He Rongming rubbed his face and said, "Minister Zhao, what you just said was not just talking nonsense, was it?"

"Bullshit? Haha, Mr. He, do you think our company spends so much money just to talk nonsense in front of you? What's the purpose?" Zhao Zhiwei said with a smile.

"Then... let's do this. I'd better think about it carefully after organizing the conversation. Give me three days and I will give you a reply in three days."

"No problem, just waiting for good news."
