Reinventing the Millennium.

Chapter 477
Hu Zhengming, CTO of TSMC, was called "Treasure Island's No. 1.3 CTO" when he did not leave TSMC. He himself also founded Silue Electronics and sold it for US$[-] million a few years later.

When it comes to academics, his achievements are even more dazzling. Not to mention the reputation of the academician of the National Academy of Engineering and the professor of the University of California, the "fin field effect transistor" proposed by Hu Zhengming in 99 is known as the continuation of Moore's Law.

In 1995, the industry believed that the limit of transistor size was approaching, and the golden development period of the semiconductor industry was coming to an end. Hu Zhengming's solution successfully made a theoretical breakthrough in the limit of semiconductors.

It has already taken a lot of effort for such a successful man in both industry and academia to come to USTC for academic exchanges. Now it is not easy for him to join Bingxin after the non-compete agreement is over.
Before Fang Zhuo came, he had already researched this person's information over and over again, and knowing the contact situation here in Luzhou, he became more and more worried about gains and losses, and couldn't easily show up to lobby, for fear that this kind of communication without intermediate links would directly determine the final result.

As the chairman of Ice Core, as the initiator of a project like Ice Core, Fang Zhuo has already raised funds, invited Qiu Ciyun, dug out engineers at home and abroad, and tried to deal with the equipment procurement review, but he still felt that it was not enough.

Fang Zhuo is very self-aware. He has repeatedly considered the ice core and analyzed his own pros and cons.

As the chairman, he can raise funds from various channels, use successful projects to transfuse ice cores, and use terminal products to bind the upstream of the industrial chain. This is a positive side and a business behavior he is good at.

But Fang Zhuo also has a very fatal shortcoming. He has no technical background, does not understand technology, and industry knowledge comes from bad supplements, and more professional knowledge can only understand superficial meanings.

Then, key technology nodes, business application trends, and major decision-making judgments have all become problems that must be solved.

All of these are life and death decisions even for ordinary companies, especially for companies with high technical thresholds such as wafer foundries.

The former is like Changhong. If the plasma and liquid crystal technology goes wrong, it will sink step by step.

Fang Zhuo was aware of the existence of this shortcoming, so he half-actively and half-passively left it to the professionals to make the decisions. He didn't engage in laymen leading experts, and he didn't think arrogantly that he could lead Bingxin with a few vague memory proofs. go toward success.

From the perspective of a commercial project, if Ice Core wants to develop smoothly, it must have one or several key technical figures to make key decisions.

Can Qiu Ciyun, the current senior vice president of Bingxin, do this?
To be honest, Fang Zhuo didn't have much confidence in his heart. From the current stage of observation, it was quite suitable. Qiu Ciyun had successful experience in building and operating factories, but in the future, technology development might not be able to support it.

But if Hu Zhengming, who has been the chief technology officer of TSMC for 4 years, comes in from both academic and industrial fields, most of this problem will be solved. He has a golden effect on the current ice core.

Moreover, what Hu Zhengming can solve is not only the technical decision-making of the company, he himself is a banner of the industry, which can increase the bargaining chip for Bingxin to introduce more important people.

For example, Liang Mengsong, a proud disciple who is still at TSMC at the moment.

In such a situation, Fang Zhuo didn't go to visit Professor Hu Zhengming at the University of Science and Technology of China when he arrived in Luzhou. Instead, he drank wine with the leaders for two days. How to meet and communicate.

He even studied the meaning of Hu Zhengming's name with Ni Runfeng.

When Ni Runfeng helped to consult the details, he felt vaguely emotional. Did Mr. Fang do the same when he arrived in Rongcheng, and did he make all the preparations? Did he know Boren's name in advance before attacking him?
He didn't ask this question, but just watched Mr. Fang's anxiety and seriousness.

On March 3, when Ni Runfeng contacted Xiao Fang, he was told that the boss had flown to the capital.

This made him a little puzzled, Professor Hu hasn't seen him yet, why did he fly to the capital?Was the leader summoned there?Or is there something urgent that needs to be attended to?
Ni Runfeng got the exact whereabouts of Mr. Fang again on the 31st.

On the last day of March, he read today's newspaper and saw gossip about Mr. Fang and the Li family. Suddenly, he heard a report from his secretary, saying that Mr. Fang had returned to Luzhou, and he would go to see Mr. Fang as soon as possible. City leaders, and then went straight to the University of Science and Technology of China.

"How do you know?" Ni Runfeng asked the secretary.

"Secretary Luo's car is almost becoming Mr. Fang's private car, who doesn't know." The secretary said proudly.

Ni Runfeng nodded, and his heart suddenly turned emotionally. This matter was not unrelated to him. Mr. Fang tied himself onto the boat forcibly just to mess with his ice core.

He hoped that the boat would be faster and better, and he also hoped that Mr. Fang's plan after repeated entanglements these days would be effective.

Ni Runfeng put down the newspaper and glanced at his watch, it was a quarter past four in the afternoon.

Waiting for tomorrow, waiting for tomorrow, he has to ask President Xiao Fang how the battle is going today.

……

On the afternoon of March 3, Fang Zhuo, chairman of Bingxin, accompanied by two assistants, came to the University of Science and Technology of China to meet the great professor who made him admire him so much on the eve of welcoming the new month.

Along the way, he was still thinking about how to communicate with Hu Zhengming.

Euphemistic moral binding?The temptation of direct benefits?
This is somewhat ineffective.

Fang Zhuo could only prepare in every possible way, adapt to local conditions, and judge what to say after meeting people.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Fang Zhuo met Professor Hu Zhengming.

Then, the professor's first words caught him a little off guard.

"Mr. Fang, do you know how to pronounce FinFET in English?"

Fang Zhuo didn't even have time to put down the tea in his hand, and he didn't say any words of greeting. He was startled when he heard the words, FinFET?

Seeing this, an ice core technical assistant next to him wanted to answer for the boss.

Hu Zhengming glanced at it with a half-smile.

Fang Zhuo waved his hand, indicating to himself that he should remember correctly.

He said slowly: "Fin Field-Effect Transistor."

Hu Zhengming raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "I have worked in TSMC for several years, but Zhang Zhongmou still thinks this word is awkward to pronounce."

Fang Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief, put down the tea leaves, and said with a smile, "So I see the same thing as Mr. Zhang Hero? Fortunately, because I found this word awkward, I read it several times. I sat down?"

Hu Zhengming nodded, and said unabashedly: "Yes, I know the reason for Mr. Fang's visit, but Mr. Fang may not know. Whatever you can give me, TSMC can give me. I just want to do academic research now. I'm not adding ice cores."

The professor showed the chariots and horses, just like in the previous situation report, and did not give room for maneuver at all.
