Hearing Hu Zhengming's words, Lin Hao was a little surprised. He had always heard that it was very difficult to make chips. In the past life, China spent hundreds of billions of yuan and so many years to make chips, and many of them were in vain.

Now, only half a year has passed, and the chip is about to be taped out. Although taping out does not mean success, "taping out" is a key step in chip manufacturing, which is considered trial production. Once the tape-out is successful, it means that the chip has entered the production stage.

"What is the highest process of global chips now?" Although Lin Hao does not understand the technology very well, he still knows some basic information. When Lin Hao was reborn in the future, 5-nanometer chips had already appeared.

"The highest process of global chips now is 90 nanometers, but the most mainstream applications are still between 130 nanometers and 190 nanometers. Once our 130-nanometer chip is successfully taped out, we can enter the ranks of international mainstream chip manufacturers." Liang Mengsong added.

Lin Hao nodded and said, "Let's go to the R&D center to have a look. ”

After taking a quick look at the headquarters, Lin Hao was going to the R&D center. Today, Lin Hao was going to see the results. There was nothing in the headquarters. What was there to see? If he hadn't been there before, he would have gone directly to the R&D center.

The group had just gone upstairs for less than half an hour, and many employees of the company saw that the executives headed by Lin Hao had all come down again.

"It's only been half an hour since they went upstairs. Why are they coming down again?"

"I don't know. Do you think the boss really likes Hong Kong sister Yang Luoting?"

"How is it possible? Yang is not as good as me. It must be media hype."

.....

The group went to the R&D center in a mighty manner. On the way, Hu Zhengming and Liang Mengsong introduced the situation.

"The establishment of the R&D center is thanks to the Hong Kong government. After learning that Haohan Technology invested 20 billion US dollars in the development of semiconductor chips and set up its headquarters in Hong Kong, the Hong Kong government immediately contacted us. There is a story behind it.

In March 1998, Li Zekai, the youngest son of Li Chaoren, obtained a 64-acre piece of land from the Hong Kong government for free with the "Cyberport" plan, which was still a paper plan at the time, and obtained the exclusive development rights of Hong Kong Information Technology Park-Cyberport, taking over his real estate business under the guise of technology.

First, he bought a shell listed company with a market value of more than 300 million Hong Kong dollars-"Dexinjia". After obtaining control of the company, Li Zekai unconditionally injected the development rights of "Cyberport" into "Dexinjia", and renamed "Dexinjia" to Yingdong Digital Power, mainly engaged in high-tech business, and successfully achieved backdoor listing. It was enthusiastically sought after by the market, turning it into a high-tech concept stock with a market value of 60 billion Hong Kong dollars. "

Lin Hao had heard about this in his previous life. Li Zekai's methods were indeed very powerful, but he had screwed the Hong Kong government. In fact, as early as after the financial crisis in 1998, the Hong Kong government had already formulated a grand blueprint to create a local high-tech incubation park by taking advantage of Hong Kong's unique strategic location.

At that time, the new Hong Kong government planned to establish a place called "Cyberport" near the University of Hong Kong and vigorously promote the development of high-tech industries, aiming to build Hong Kong into an important high-tech frontier area in Asia. According to the original idea, this project is expected to attract hundreds of high-tech companies from around the world to settle in, and use the advanced technologies brought by these companies to cultivate young technical talents in Hong Kong.

Must Admittedly, at that time, this plan was very forward-looking, because the goal of "Cyberport" was to be comparable to the famous "Silicon Valley" in the United States. If this plan is successfully implemented, then Hong Kong will have the potential to become the Silicon Valley of Asia, thereby achieving economic transformation and upgrading.

Unfortunately, it encountered Richard Li, who only thought about speculating in real estate and land, and making money out of nothing. In the end, this project failed for various reasons.

"Because of Richard Li's operation, Cyberport did not bring a large number of high-tech companies to Hong Kong, except for the high-priced residential areas after its completion. The occupancy rate of enterprises was very low. After the Hong Kong government learned that we set up our headquarters in Hong Kong, it allocated a large part of the park to us as a research and development center. "

Hearing Hu Zhengming's words, Lin Hao found that Li Zekai seemed to be somewhat useful, otherwise he would not have been able to pick up the bargain.

Hong Kong is not big, and it is not long before Cyberport arrives. It is located in Pok Fu Lam, southwest of Hong Kong Island, with mountains behind and the sea in front, and the scenery is pleasant.

"The R&D center now has more than 2,000 R&D personnel, and is constantly recruiting various talents around the world, including more than 100 Panasonic R&D personnel." Liang Mengsong introduced.

"How are the technical skills of Panasonic employees?How is it?" Lin Hao asked.

"It's OK, much better than the people we recruited ourselves, but there are no top technical talents. The top talents are all in the R&D center in the island country."

"We need to pay more attention to the R&D center in the island country, send more people to learn, and get in touch with Panasonic's top talents to see what they lack and what they want. We can dig up all the top talents we can, but we need to do it in a covert way, not too blatantly, and the same goes for Samsung."

Hearing Lin Hao's words, Hu Zhengming and Liang Mengsong were a little dazed. Both of them were technical personnel. They had thought of sending people to learn and were doing it, but they hadn't really thought about what Lin Hao said later. Aren't they all partners?

During the conversation, everyone put on dust-proof clothes and walked into the laboratory.

"The equipment in this laboratory is the world's top. Our first generation of Kunpeng chips was developed here. "Hu Zhengming introduced.

Lin Hao looked at the many people in the laboratory wearing dust-proof suits and busy, and they did not stop because of Lin Hao's arrival.

"Do we do the chip tape-out ourselves, or do we find other companies to do it?" Lin Hao asked, looking at the scene in the laboratory.

"We found TSMC to do the tape-out, and we don't have the technology yet." Liang Mengsong said.

"Then we will find TSMC to do the formal production." Lin Hao asked again.

"Yes."

Hearing this, Lin Hao did not ask any more questions, but continued to visit. The scale of the R&D center with more than 2,000 people is still very large. Originally, Lin Hao was going to meet with people from Universal Pictures, Universal Music and Julius Baer in the afternoon, but it was directly cancelled.

After experiencing the working meal in the cafeteria of the R&D center at noon, he started a meeting directly in the R&D center in the afternoon.

"I visited the R&D center in the morning. In just half a year, such an achievement is very great. Let us congratulate the Hong Kong R&D team." Lin Hao said and applauded, and soon there was a sound in the conference room.
