If you cheat, money will follow

late April.

Chang Le successfully "completed" the graduation thesis defense.

Undergraduate thesis does not require innovation, only originality.

Even if it is not original, there are many ways to get around it.

For example, it is not difficult to use software to translate into a foreign language, and then translate from a foreign language into Chinese, adjust sentences, and modify grammar.

If you were more careful and translated the foreign language several times, the original author would not be able to recognize the text without looking at the point of view.

A few days later, Jiang Xia also completed her graduation thesis defense and flew to Jiangzhou to join Chang Le.

The two went to Qiongdao to make preliminary preparations.

Weddings are complicated.

On-site layout, program arrangements, welcome and delivery, there are so many details.

However, the top wedding company hired at a high price will take care of the whole process, so there won’t be many details.

Chang Le and Jiang Xia only need to pay.

Chang Le and Jiang Xia arrived at the hotel, and the manager of the wedding company introduced the preparations to the two.

At present, the preparatory work has basically been completed.

The hotel has stopped handling check-in and reservation procedures.

All will be cleared before the end of April, waiting for relatives and friends of Chang Le and Jiang Xia.

Hundreds of people in the hotel provide meticulous service throughout the entire process.

The wedding venue is not located in the banquet hall of the hotel, but on the outdoor lawn on the top of the mountain.

It is surrounded by mountains and sea, lined with green trees, surrounded by flowers, and has a beautiful environment.

The white fence surrounding the lawn and the central dome have been carefully decorated and covered with red silk, creating a strong festive atmosphere.

Fits Changle and Jiangxia wedding theme colors.

The clothes and jewelry to be worn for the wedding are ready.

The basic process of the wedding has also been determined.

Chang Le and Jiang Xia only need to follow the process and accept the arrangement.

The day before the wedding, the hotel was completely emptied.

Managers, middle managers and waiters are on standby.

Several buses and luxury cars in the hotel became busy, running back and forth between the hotel and the airport to greet relatives and friends on both sides.

Relatives and friends of the father's generation are received and arranged by the parents of both parties.

Chang Le and Jiang Xia are mainly responsible for their respective roommates, friends and important guests.

Although the scale is limited, there are still more than 200 people. After all, no matter how restricted the scope is, those who should be notified must still be notified.

Mr. Ren from Juchang is here.

"Mr. Ren, thank you for your support. It's a great honor." Chang Le shook hands and expressed his thanks.

"It is also an honor for me to attend Mr. Chang's wedding. Congratulations!" Mr. Ren said with a smile.

"Thank you! Please come inside and we'll talk more in the evening." Chang Le said.

"Okay! You're busy."

Little Ma from the Goose Factory is here.

"Mr. Chang, congratulations! A happy marriage for a hundred years, and we will always be of the same mind." Brother Ma said his blessing.

"Long time no see, thank you for taking the time to come." Chang Le said

"Haha, it's Mr. Chang's wedding. No matter how busy you are, you still have to come and feel happy." Xiao Ma Ge handed over his hand.

"Thank you, please come inside. The room has been arranged. Take a rest and we will talk again in the evening." Chang Le said.

"it is good."

Rebus from the rice factory came with an engineering prototype.

"Mr. Chang, congratulations! I wish you a happy marriage and a son soon." Rebus wore a signature suit, blue jeans, and a three-part hairstyle that was popular in the [-]s.

"Thank you very much. Please forgive me if the reception is not good." Chang Le patted Rebus on the back.

"It should. This is the company's first-generation engineering prototype. Please give us your valuable opinions."

Rebus is a workaholic and did not forget to incorporate work into the wedding.

"Okay, Mr. Lei. Be sure to study this prototype carefully. I believe it will bring you a lot of surprises." Chang Le said.

"Wherever, it is already an honor to be able to barely catch the eye."

Yu Chengdong came together with the Leda Automobile board of directors.

"Congratulations to the boss, boss lady." Yu Chengdong said with cupped hands.

"Haha, Lao Yu, Mr. Ren is here, you can have a good chat." Chang Le said.

"Okay, I just want to talk to him about cooperation." Yu Chengdong said.

Liu Chaodong and Zhu Xuewu of the Research Institute;

He Rongming of Shanghai Microelectronics;

Liang Qingsong and his wife from Huahong Semiconductor; the heads of more than ten representative start-up companies in which Leda Investment participated;

As well as the department heads of Leda Investment Company all arrived.

This is Zeng Xi's arrangement.

This is not only Chang Le and Jiang Xia's wedding, but also a rare occasion for negotiation and communication.

The Leda family can take this opportunity to deepen their connections with each other.

Chang Le and Jiang Xia shook hands with the guests one by one, and then handed them over to Zeng Xi and Xu Xiaolan for reception arrangements.

At night.

In the evening, Chang Le brought He Rongming and Liang Qingsong to Mr. Ren’s suite to discuss the progress of research and development.

According to the original agreement and agreement between the two parties, Juchang was mainly responsible for EDA tool development and IC design.

Simultaneously promote the promotion and application of EDA tools and build an ecosystem.

In addition, Juchang is also working on the research and development of the operating system in secret.

Juchang named its plan Plan B, which was unknown to the outside world.

Mr. Ren’s attitude has always been open.

I have told Chang Le many times that Plan B is always Plan B, not an extreme situation, and will not replace Plan A.

It will only be activated as a last resort.

Leda Investment is mainly responsible for the manufacturing end.

Taking smee's lithography machine research and development as the core carrier, it connects and collaborates with upstream and downstream enterprises and R&D institutions to work in the same direction and work together to tackle difficulties.

This includes the research and development of core components such as dual workpiece stages, immersion systems, excimer laser light sources, objective lenses, lighting, and exposure, involving dozens of companies and scientific research institutions.

Huahong Semiconductor, led by Liang Qingsong, is an application carrier and serves as a guinea pig.

It mainly provides a test site for Shanghai smee's equipment research and development, which simply means adaptation.

According to He Rongming's reflection, the road is still far away and the process is still difficult, but of course the future is bright.

The current research and development progress of smee is still at the stage of the third generation scanning projection lithography machine, that is, the 248nmKrf lithography machine.

The minimum process node is between 180-130nm.

And some core components need to be imported.

ASML, which is standing on the shoulders of the EUVllc cooperation organization, is in a state of soaring momentum.

More than 20 years ago, in 1986, they had launched the fourth-generation lithography machine, the 193nmArF lithography machine.

In 2007, we cooperated with TSMC to develop the first immersion lithography machine, the 193nm ArFI lithography machine.

It is also commonly known as Duv lithography machine.

In 2010, it successfully realized the 32nm process node and is moving towards the 22nm process node.

The fifth-generation lithography machine-EUV lithography machine already has a theoretical foundation and is being accelerated.

In horizontal comparison, the gap between the two still remains more than 30 years.

However, don’t feel too sorry for yourself.

We must face up to the gap and affirm the achievements.

In the past year, He Rongming's main energy has been focused on the training and cultivation of scientific research talents.

Leda Investment has entered the game with a large amount of capital, and in the past year, the number of smee R&D personnel has doubled exponentially.

The R&D progress and coordination efficiency of upstream and downstream enterprises and R&D institutions are also constantly improving.

As a fund transfer place, smee is goal-oriented and task-completion-oriented, and the completion of indicators is linked to fund allocation.

As long as the set goals are achieved, in addition to the huge funds for the project itself, there will also be considerable research and development bonuses.

This is all basic work and needs to be done slowly.

After Liang Qingsong joined Huahong Semiconductor, he remained a professor and doctoral supervisor at Fudan University.

I go to and from get off work normally every day, and carry out technical management of Huahong Semiconductor through the graduate students I bring with me to survive the non-competition agreement period.

Huahong Semiconductor, externally, still has Tang Jiadong as its helmsman.

Everyone inside knows that Tang Jiadong is a Bodhisattva, smiling every day.

After surviving the non-compete agreement period, he will return to his original company.

After all, the story of TSMC’s brutal suppression of SMIC’s founder and his forced resignation is not far away.

Huahong Semiconductor, this style of play with Tang Jiadong as the skin and Liang Qingsong as the core, TSMC saw in the eyes and Xiao in the heart, but did not pursue it.

Because Huahong Semiconductor has not shown any ambition in advanced manufacturing processes.

So far, he is a happy big player in the mature process field.

On the one hand, there is no sign of breakthrough in advanced manufacturing processes, and there is no corresponding 12-inch production line;

On the other hand, the process technology is still stuck at the micron node ten years ago, and the nanometer node is still far away.

Call it a happy big player in the mature craft space, and for good reason.

Because it occupies more than 50% of the market share in the domestic mature market.

This includes power devices, embedded non-volatile memory, analog and power management, logic and radio frequency, stand-alone non-volatile memory... etc., with profit margins as high as 40%.

Then, it should not be possible for TSMC to know.

Its R&D expense rate is not the publicly disclosed 8%, but 41%.

It exceeds the second place in R&D expense ratio - Jinghe Integration by 10 percentage points, which is twice that of SMIC and three times that of TSMC.

And it's still growing quietly, but it's just not visible on the financial books.

After communicating with each other about the situation, Mr. Ren was encouraging:

"From a historical perspective, difficulties always exist objectively, but difficulties are always a prelude to greater victory."

"As long as you persist and strive, victory will surely come."

"Moreover, the situation has been continuously improving and moving forward, completing a leap from nothing to something."

Chang Le said: "Mr. Ren is right. Only those who dare to fight will have a future, and only those who are good at fighting will win."

He told He Rongming and Liang Qingsong that the original plan made by the parent company would not change..."

“In terms of funding, it will not decrease, it will only increase, so don’t worry.”
