Reinventing the Millennium

Industrial investment in integrated circuits involves policies and funds that are not a one-size-fits-all affair.

Two consecutive meetings in the morning and afternoon basically finalized the will to push forward.

Only in the evening, Fang Zhuo and Jiang Shangzhou were informed to continue organizing a group to follow each department for meetings the next day. After dinner, Fang Zhuo received an inquiry call from the secretary to confirm the itinerary for the next few days.

Fang Zhuo and the Yangtze River Delta Chamber of Commerce have arrangements for an economic and trade visit to Europe. They have already informed him about this in advance, and they were thinking on the phone not to delay other things.

However, before coming to Beijing, he had determined that he would fly to Europe with his team on the 30th to start a two-week exchange activity, trying to avoid the European Christmas holiday.

There was no meeting in the evening, so Fang Zhuo and the others discussed constructive suggestions in a slightly more relaxed mood.

However, halfway through the discussion, Jiang Shangzhou noticed that Mr. Fang, who had just answered the phone, had a slightly subtle expression on his face.

"What?" Jiang Shangzhou asked.

"It seems like someone came here and wanted to make friends." Fang Zhuo said as he picked up his coat.

Jiang Shangzhou frowned and said, "Should I go with you? It would be better if I told you."

"I declined." Fang Zhuo said with a smile, "I said I had a meeting in the evening, but they didn't say anything."

Jiang Shangzhou nodded. Although the leader did not arrange a meeting, it was always no problem for Mr. Fang to come to him.

Fang Zhuo took two steps and asked Qiu Ciyun for a copy of the ice core "research on key technologies for large-scale production of 45-nanometer large-scale integrated circuits". He then smiled at Jiang Shangzhou and said, "I'll change departments and talk to the leaders of the Development and Reform Commission." Let’s talk about our progress.”

Compared with running on policies and asking for funds, this may be more popular with leaders.

According to internal planning, Ice Core will try 45nm risk mass production in the third quarter of next year. If all goes well, mass production of this process may be achieved by the end of the year. It is currently cooperating with major customers.

In terms of process evolution, reducing the gate width has always been a way to break through the process. This has also been relatively smooth in the research and development of 65nm-45nm. When Liang Mengsong left Taiji in 2006, Taiji had already trial-produced 45nm chips. Specific experience Still works.

only……

“We plan to use low-K dielectrics in the research and development of the 45nm process, which is consistent with the world’s mainstream manufacturers. Especially, this year we just welcomed Dr. Liang Mengsong’s team. I am sure that Taiwan will do this in both 45 and 40. "

"But after 45/40nm, high-K dielectric materials will need to be introduced."

"Oh, leaders, what is this low-K/high-K dielectric?"

"K is the dielectric constant, which is a coefficient that indicates the insulation capability. Generally, if this constant is greater than 3.9, we call it high K, and if it is less than 3.9, it is called low K. However, IBM has set the standard at 2.8, and most of the industry uses 2.8 as low k. The upper limit of the K value of the dielectric.”

"Although IBM has now found high-K dielectric materials, it has not adopted this process on 45nm products and is likely to use it on the next generation of 32nm."

"Speaking of which..."

Fang Zhuo sat in the development and reform office and paused for a moment. He glanced at the leaders who were trying hard to listen to his explanation of the material with their eyes wide open. He sighed: "Speaking of this, maybe I have to say more."

When a director who worked overtime at night heard this, he finally couldn't help but interjected: "Mr. Fang, we roughly understand the key process of this low-K dielectric. Can we talk about more specific plans for the ice core next year?"

"Director Liu, this is very important. Well, okay, I will submit another detailed document later, so I won't take up everyone's time here." Fang Zhuo flipped through the documents.

Several leaders in the conference room breathed a sigh of relief, some drank tea, and some put down their pens.

"In fact, ice core's plan for next year cannot just be said to be next year's plan. Starting from October this year, our ice core has invested more research funds to improve our shortcomings." Fang Zhuo said seriously, " To put it more bluntly, I am also learning from my rival Taiwanese journalists.”

“We have projects in transistor structures, high-mobility channels, and low-size materials and devices.”

"I want to briefly talk about three points about the transistor structure."

Fang Zhuo raised three fingers and was ready to talk about the crucial FinFET structure.

For some reason, with Mr. Fang's voice, the atmosphere in the office quietly became a little helpless. Ice cores are indeed very important, but don't these technical issues need to be explained by this person?

But, after all, this is Mr. Fang. He rarely comes to Beijing to report work in person a few times a year. You can't interrupt him coldly like "You can say it concisely", "Just submit the technical description", "It's already very late". Bar?

Don’t let Mr. Fang’s heart go cold!

…

Fang Zhuo, who was very busy after arriving in the capital, suddenly became even busier.

During the day, the leader would have a meeting with him, and at night, he would have a meeting with the leader.

Such diligent work attitude touched many people, and they suddenly couldn't bear to disturb Mr. Fang like him.

Therefore, after being busy, Fang Zhuo has a lot of peace of mind in other aspects. Now, no matter whether he is well-intentioned or not so well-intentioned, he can basically dispel most of his intentions by reporting to the department meeting. Occasionally, if the relationship is complicated, reporting to the two leaders Names can also be blocked.

From November 21st to November 26th, the team in Beijing focused on promoting investment in the integrated circuit industry for five consecutive days. But on the 27th, there was a vague and more certain voice from above. Do this at this point in time.

Moreover, due to the special measures implemented since the financial crisis, supporting policies and funding allocations may be finalized faster than imagined.

Under this circumstance, the front-line work data of the Semiconductor Services Alliance has generated greater value.

On the evening of the 27th, Liu Yangyang, secretary-general of the Service Alliance, sighed sincerely while having dinner: "I haven't seen as many leaders in my entire life as I have in these two days."

"It's true that we've seen a lot of people these days." Fang Zhuo agreed. He saw twice as many people during the day and at night.

"I heard that some leaders don't want to see you anymore?" Jiang Shangzhou asked about something he heard during the day.

To say that this leader has a sharp mind, some departments just met him last night and again during the next day, but the style of Mr. Fang's speech was completely different. After comparing them one by one... I can't talk about being angry. How angry Shang is, just...

Anyway, the leaders Fang Zhuo saw at the meetings these two nights smoked more and spoke less.

"We all have difficulties. We understand each other. Isn't this how we move forward." Fang Zhuo said calmly, "Tomorrow, they want to see me, but I won't go either."

If nothing unexpected happens tomorrow, he will respond first and prepare for his economic and trade visit to Europe on the 30th.

Jiang Shangzhou still wanted to stay in the capital. He thought about the things he had promoted in the past few days and smiled: "50 billion, 50 billion..."

The funding figures have been basically determined, and this batch of funds will surely become the catalyst for the growth of the domestic semiconductor industry.

"Well, although there is still a long way to go, there is indeed a more comfortable environment. Starting next year, Bingxin will promote in-depth cooperation with universities, hoping to cultivate more industry talents." Fang Zhuo wanted to take the lead. All the money inside is spent, and there is irrigation from above, and he also has his own irrigation.

Jiang Shangzhou picked up the tea cup and replaced the wine with tea: "It's a good thing, it's worth a drink."

Fang Zhuo smiled and picked up the tea cup, and drank the tea to taste the wine.

They had not drank at all these past few days, so as not to delay the meeting if they had an impromptu meeting.

What we did came to fruition, and the atmosphere at dinner was quite good.

After finishing the meal and taking a short rest, before Fang Zhuo could call, a secretary of the leader on the other side called in.

"President Fang, are you still here to report on your work today?"

"Are there any plans for today?" Fang Zhuo asked back, "Am I suitable to go?"

The secretary silently repeated the leader's words: "The leader said that this night is not enough."

"Okay, I do still have something to report today. I need to go back to Shencheng to arrange work tomorrow." Fang Zhuo felt that he was leaving tomorrow, which could be regarded as saying goodbye to the leaders.

The final meeting was confirmed. Fang Zhuo took a short rest, then walked into the conference room again carrying documents and several boxes of fine tea.

As soon as he showed up, someone asked: "Mr. Fang, you won't be coming tomorrow?"

"I'm not coming, I'm not coming. I have to go back and implement all the work reported so that I can feel confident when I come next time." Fang Zhuo said with a smile, "Thank you for your care from the leaders these days. Our ice core will strive to build two more ice cores in the coming year." A production line.”

He spread out the documents in a familiar manner, and the leader lit a cigarette in a familiar manner.

The leader of Bingxin made a tacit final report.

…

I was in a hurry when I came, but I felt a little more calm when I left.

The effect of industrial investment in integrated circuits remains to be seen and verified, but these are already great for the cold stove of semiconductors.

Fang Zhuo has pushed forward what he wants to do and is about to fly to Germany to visit Qimonda. He feels quite good about returning to Shanghai.

On the afternoon of the 28th, Fang Zhuo was half-lying on his office chair listening to reports from the US financial market. Several financial institutions were already analyzing the patent competition between Yike and Nokia, but the scale of the institutions was not large.

In the evening, Su Wei knocked on the door and interrupted Fang Zhuo's faint thoughts.

"Wang Yan called me just now and asked about next month's annual meeting. Can Sina come?" Su Wei put down a new list of partners and said something not very relevant.

Fang Zhuo looked through the partners and found that they were foreign brands. He replied casually: "Why are you asking me? Aren't you the one hosting it?"

"It seems a bit troublesome to come all the way to Shanghai to hold the annual meeting, but it's rare to have a serious event, so it's better to be lively. I think Wang Yan wants to come over." Su Wei said with a smile, "I have already asked the company to start I took the initiative to sign up for the program, and everyone was very enthusiastic."

The development of Tesco is almost unaffected by the financial crisis, and it has just acquired Dangdang. Everyone from top to bottom is very interested in the annual meeting.

Fang Zhuo was not interested when he heard this: "Oh."

Su Wei rolled her eyes and said, "I'll send you a rehearsal of the show later. It's quite interesting. I plan to put it as the trump card show at the end. Don't forget to watch it."

"What about this partner?" Fang Zhuo asked as he picked up the document.

"I just came here to talk to you. If you want to read, keep reading." Su Wei said with a smile, "I'll come up later."

Fang Zhuo shrugged and kept reading. The list mainly involved products from foreign beauty, clothing, and maternal and infant brands. It was obviously another development of Tesco. These did not overlap so much with today's Taobao. .

But Taobao is already stepping up its efforts to cover well-known brands, and it also wants to capture more relatively high-end customers.

Ten minutes later, Fang Zhuo put down the file and clicked on the submission from Su Wei.

A video rehearsal with a shaky lens came into view.

Fang Zhuo's first thought was-I don't know when the video anti-shake function of the Mars phone will be available.

But the next second, he was stunned.

As Su Wei said, this is a rehearsal for the annual meeting. The employees in the video are singing and dancing, very youthful and energetic, but the content of the song is-Mr. Fang, Mr. Fang, our Mr. Fang, handsome and rich... …

Fang Zhuo's goosebumps rose.

He immediately turned off the video and called Su Wei up: "This is the flagship program of the annual meeting? Are you sure?"

"Yeah, the current number one in the internal voting." Su Wei replied seriously.

"This lyrics... this style..." Fang Zhuo really couldn't accept it, "Otherwise, this annual meeting should be more high-sounding. Your original intention of giving full play to everyone's initiative is good, but, but..."

Su Wei spread her hands.

"E-commerce is very busy, Mr. Su, let others do this work." Fang Zhuo looked at Su Wei again, who had seized power years ago, and said decisively, "Don't be responsible anymore."

Su Wei grinned: "Mr. Fang has the final say, but this show is really interesting and the on-site effect will definitely be great."

Fang Zhuo waved his hands repeatedly to dispel Mr. Su's opinions and aesthetics that he didn't know were true or false.

He took a breath, suspecting that changing people would easily lead to a loss of style, and said: "Don't have so many employee shows. I want the person in charge of each company to go up and talk sincerely about the experiences and challenges in the next five or ten years. Let's do it." Just make it an ordinary one, don’t be unconventional..."

Unleash employees' natural instincts and easily release memes that will remain on the Internet forever.

Su Wei asked: "Are you going to come on stage too?"

Fang Zhuo hesitated.

"If you don't come on stage, then I will continue to be in charge of the annual meeting." Su Wei gave a small threat.

She added: "This year's financial crisis is a good time to talk about the opportunities and challenges in the future. How good is this? Will it work? Will it work?"

"Okay." Fang Zhuo agreed, and we can talk. Whether it's cloud computing, electronic products, or semiconductors, there's a lot to talk about.

Su Wei suddenly became more interested: "Isn't Yike going to promote YMS? Should we talk about this? Isn't Hanwang launching a product soon? Let's see if they are willing to come and listen. I will send you an invitation letter. What did you do last time? Say, if Mr. Ni also wants to do a mobile phone project, you can come!"

"Farewell, the more you talk about it, the more ordinary annual meeting." Fang Zhuo emphasized, and allocated manpower, "Leave this kind of matter to Liu Zonghong to coordinate, so don't bother."

He immediately called Liu Zonghong to confirm the work arrangements.

There is no need for this secretary to accompany me during this visit to Europe.

Su Wei accepted the arrangement in the office. However, when she left the office, she called Liu Zonghong and decided to implement Mr. Fang's wishes and hold an ordinary annual meeting.

Although Liu Zonghong received special instructions from Mr. Fang,... his boss is going to Europe soon, and he has a little secretary. Mr. Su's words... can be used as a reference.
