Reinventing the Millennium

Fang Zhuo is not a person who looks forward and backward.

He has a tendency in his mind, and the next step is to consider how to do things around this tendency.

The statement from the leadership was like a spark that ignited many ideas coming from the semiconductor project.

How important is a technical boss?

How important is a big boss who has gone through the advanced technology process?

Still using Liang Mengsong as an example, Fang Zhuo remembers how the media once described him. Within 300 days of his arrival at SMIC, he led the team to increase the yield rate of 14nm chips from 3% to 95%, reaching mass production standards.

The specific values ​​may be vague, but there is no doubt that this huge improvement is the result of the hard work of the entire team, but it is also the result of the guidance of technical leaders.

Fang Zhuo feels that the value of such key technical figures is difficult to express in terms of money.

Therefore, he set two small goals, first to poach Hu Zhengming, and then to poach Liang Mengsong.

How to dig? How to dig?

A prestigious school like the University of Science and Technology of China is the best implementation platform.

In Shanghai City, even if Fang Zhuo entrusts leaders like Zheng Danrui and Qiu Di to ask Jiaotong University to recruit people internationally, the most they can do is really help and try hard. Once the try fails, it will not work.

Not so with the University of Science and Technology of China.

When this university was originally relocated from the capital, several cities refused due to reasons such as "no ration quota". Luzhou, Anhui Province, provided land, food, and money, leaving the University of Science and Technology of China.

At that time, Luzhou Normal University was disbanded to make way for the University of Science and Technology of China. Heating was not available in the whole province, but heating was provided at the University of Science and Technology of China. The city was short of electricity, and the University of Science and Technology of China was the priority power supply unit...

The relationship between Luzhou, Anhui Province and the University of Science and Technology of China is unusual, and the influence of local leaders on the school is also different.

Therefore, Wang Shushan brought Fang Zhuo to the campus of the University of Science and Technology of China as his first stop. He had the confidence to say, "Our University of Science and Technology is willing to fully support it." "Teachers and students are not willing to stay. The principal will do the work personally, and I will do the work myself. There is absolutely no lie." if.

Fang Zhuo broadened his consideration of HKUST Microelectronics to the energy that the entire school can exert, and suddenly became enlightened.

There is a theory of "six degrees of separation". There will be no more than six people between two strangers. If the University of Science and Technology of China wants to mobilize people to contact Hu Zhengming, who previously taught at the University of California, I am afraid it does not need six people. .

Famous alumni, international academic collaborators, and even direct invitations are all accepted by the University of Science and Technology of China.

Fang Zhuo watched Chen Jin from "Hanxin" become the dean of the newly established School of Microelectronics at Jiaotong University last time. If he really tried his best to "trap" Hu Zhengming and give him a title like honorary dean, what would happen? What doesn't work?

Of course, we don’t know exactly how the University of Science and Technology of China will operate, but it is certainly worth looking forward to.

This is an "all-out" verification.

On July 12, the "Ice Drink Project" project team's inspection in Luzhou ended.

However, what makes the team and local leaders most curious is - what is the last condition that Mr. Fang put forward to Wang Shushan?

The two parties remained tight-lipped.

The local leaders did not dare to ask Wang Shushan boldly, but the project team asked out their doubts on the way back.

"What other conditions can it be? What other conditions can it be?" Fang Zhuo said casually, "I just want to ask for more money. As you know, I have always wanted to attract more investment."

Everyone believes it...it would be strange to believe it!

But the boss didn't want to say anything, and no one could do anything to him.

So far, the first round of city inspections has achieved mixed results.

Generally speaking, local governments are very enthusiastic about the project. The price of 1.3 billion offered by Yangcheng and Luzhou is staggering, and other preferential conditions are even more dazzling.

A tens-billion project, this is a tens-billion project!

As for Luzhou, the last place we visited, its annual fiscal revenue was less than 10 billion!

Everyone in the team is honored to be able to participate in the inspection of such a project.

"Mr. Fang, please think more carefully and be more cautious." Yu Jun, associate professor at Fudan University, changed his stance twice. He first denied Luzhou and then affirmed it. This was the first time he had seen such a sincere leadership team.

This was different from anything he had seen before, and it also made him reflect on his views on certain things.

However, when he once again set foot on the land of Shencheng and witnessed the prosperous corner of the entire city, Yu Jun was still a little confused and hesitant.

He could no longer give any advice and could only finally say "consider" and "be cautious".

"Haha, Professor Yu, you have really worked hard on this trip." Fang Zhuo's face showed no sadness or entanglement, and smiled, "I will think about it carefully, but no matter where I go, I am confident about the future."

Yu Jun said with emotion: "This is my most unforgettable summer job, and I always have confidence in him."

He paused slightly and said: "Sometimes I feel that society is developing too fast. I just shook hands with the leaders of Luzhou in the morning, and before noon, we arrived in Shanghai. Times are progressing, and young people like Mr. Fang are the future of the country. .”

"The economy is bridging the north and the south, and the chasm becomes a thoroughfare." Fang Zhuo shook hands and joked, "I always thought that I was the country's current situation. It turns out that in Professor Yu's view, I still have a lot of room for improvement."

"Professor Yu, we will continue to cooperate next time. If the project is advanced, I will notify you as soon as possible."

Yu Jun shook hands hard and made a mistake. Mr. Fang is already one of the most dazzling business figures in this era, but his age sometimes makes people ignore this.

The associate professor boarded the car taking him back to school with complicated emotions about the young president.

When Fang Zhuo returns to Shanghai, it will be convenient to arrange many things. If the project team members leave, they will be sent to their destination by special car. Others who have nothing to deal with temporarily will have dinner together in the evening.

Every member of the project team is paid, and dinner is just another thank you.

According to the plan, the "Ice Drink Project" will still have a second round of city inspections, and when that round is over, Fang Zhuo will also distribute an additional big red envelope.

However, before the second round of city inspections begins, which may become a mere formality, Fang Zhuo must fulfill his words and make every effort to promote the progress of the project.

Yi Ke had already made an appointment with the person in charge of DCM China in Shen and set a meeting for the third day after learning about his boss's return trip.

This is the intended institution for SMIC’s Series B financing before its listing, and it is also an investor that Fang Zhuo has high hopes for.

Compared with the last time he considered DCM, when he came back this time, he already had conditions offered by different cities and a contract initialed by Luzhou.

so…

Before meeting DCM China, Fang Zhuo made an appointment with Qiu Ciyun, Vice President of SMIC, and reported to him the progress of the project.

After hearing the various conditions in different cities, Qiu Ciyun was surprised that Luzhou could come up with 1.3 billion in funds, but he was still quite hesitant about this choice.

"Luzhou...well..." Qiu Ciyun chewed on the name of this city that has no sense of existence, "I'm afraid, the city's foundation is not easy to repair."

Fang Zhuo said: "It's better to be steady and steady. I want to learn from SMIC, but I feel that SMIC is moving too fast. A city like Luzhou is suitable for concentrating on construction."

This is actually what Qiu Ciyun likes to hear. He has doubts about SMIC's rapid expansion.

However, when the vice president heard what Fang Zhuo said, his face was still solemn.

Fang Zhuo added: "I asked Luzhou to recruit Hu Zhengming from TSMC through the University of Science and Technology of China. They are willing to try their best. I think there is some hope."

Hu Zhengming?

Qiu Ciyun was startled, his solemn expression gradually turned cloudy, and he said slowly: "Well, Luzhou is not bad either."

I went to the hospital today to accompany the birth, and I will try my best to update in the next few days... The hospital's wifi... is not fast at all.
