20 years of restarting life

Chapter 3672 Consort Fan Chu

This incident caused Tang Wenxuan considerable distress. The returning personnel complained that he had gone back on his word and didn't keep his promise. Ultimately, three out of the six refused to sign temporary employment contracts and left, completely disbelieving Tang Wenxuan's promise to find an opportunity to give them permanent positions in the future.

After Su Bo and Nan Li officially joined OneNano and started working at the Jiangcheng Semiconductor Research Center, Fudan University immediately gave the only temporary contract worker at the school a permanent position, and soon after, he was promoted to associate professor.

Thus, Nanli's problem was handed over to Yi Nanmi. Since Zhao Chang'an wanted to use this impulsive woman, he had to resolve this matter sooner or later. Otherwise, if someone with ulterior motives exposed it in the future, Yi Nanmi would be in a very passive position.

However, the timing wasn't right yet. If Zhao Chang'an rashly tried to resolve this matter for Nan Li, it wouldn't be logically sound, and Nan Li might not appreciate it.

However, it's for work now, which is a perfectly reasonable logic, showing that a group CEO is willing to clean up the messes of some employees for the sake of the company.

"Mr. Zhao, your insults were really harsh! But thank you anyway. I will definitely pay you back with interest in the future. When I go abroad and run away, you won't be able to insult me ​​like this."

Zhao Chang'an's words stung Nan Li deeply. At that moment, she stood alone on the ridge of the field in front of her house, looking at the barren wilderness. Her youthful impulsiveness and reckless self-righteousness back then had brought her enough regretful lessons and consequences over the years.

In the past three years, Su Bo has gone abroad two or three times, while she has not gone abroad even once. Moreover, many people in the research institute know about her disgraceful behavior and have talked about her lack of contractual spirit behind her back.

So even though Zhao Chang'an's words made her blush, she still couldn't help but feel grateful.

"I believe in your value to one nanometer, and I hope you will not disappoint me."

Zhao Chang'an intended to use Nanli as a ox to urge her on, continuing to use words to leash her.

"I'm hanging up now. I'll pack up and head to Mingzhu."

Nanli lives in southern Anhui, which is not close to Mingzhu, but if you drive on the highway, you can reach Mingzhu by noon.

As for Subo, his family lives in Mingzhu, so there's no problem for him.

After speaking with Nan Li, Zhao Chang'an called Su Bo. Su Bo was already up. After Zhao Chang'an explained the situation, to Zhao Chang'an's surprise, Su Bo suggested that he also extend an invitation to Fan Chufei.

"Fan Chufei worked at TSMC for a year before, which is why she left the department in Yanjing after working there for a year, because she couldn't prove herself. You put her in the smartphone operating system field, and she was very enthusiastic at first, but later she found out that you actually wanted to make a dedicated model for domestic enterprises and institutions. Her contract with the company expires in six months, so she will probably leave."

Su Bo's words surprised Zhao Chang'an, who asked, "How do you know so much?"

"She joined my department after the 98 acquisition of Rendition; we're old acquaintances. But don't say I recommended her. Philips already holds shares in TSMC, and ASML would have gone bankrupt long ago without TSMC's orders. Coincidentally, the research institute has been wanting to replace their lithography machine with a new one, their PAS5500. Let's see if we can get a discount to save some money."

Su Bo's words made Zhao Chang'an realize that this matter was not so simple. In the past two years, he had seen Su Bo and Fan Chufei meet, but they didn't seem to be very familiar with each other. However, now Su Bo was actually speaking up for her.

Zhao Chang'an was only slightly surprised, but he didn't pay much attention to it. Anyway, he wasn't interested in the private lives of his subordinates. Women like Wang Yu, Nan Li, and Fan Chufei, who were all very outstanding, seemed to have a lot of trouble finding a partner. Unlike Su Bo, who already had two children and whose wife was now an English teacher at a private school in Mingzhu, their family was living a happy life.

Su Bo's words were quite amusing, only mentioning "Don't say I recommended you," which inevitably made Zhao Chang'an feel like he was trying to cover something up.

Zhao Chang'an simply sat down on a bench at the hotel entrance, basking in the sun, and looked for Fan Chufei's phone number. He was about to dial when he changed his mind and instead called Shan Jun to have her notify her.

He had no intention of becoming Chu Guangying's aunt's husband, and he wasn't very familiar with this beautiful woman either.

After speaking with Shan Jun, Zhao Chang'an stood up and went into the hotel. It was a little after 1 a.m. in the US, and he didn't want to bother Zhou Kexin by phone to make her responsible for sending a letter to ASML, so he could only wait until the evening.

-

In the evening, Zhao Chang'an organized a small tea party, which was a simple way to celebrate the Lantern Festival in a foreign land.

The lively atmosphere lasted until after 9 p.m., after which everyone went back to their rooms to rest. Zhao Chang'an also returned to his room and started making phone calls.

First, call Tang Shuang, then Xia Wenzhuo, Jing Xiu, Liu Cui, Shan Cai, Qi Xiaoqin, Xu Wanrong, Tian Xue, Jiang Xian, Lou Yushan, Bian Yingying, Jian Qiu, —

He also instructed Zhou Kexin to send a telegram to ASML, expressing his intention to cooperate and purchase the PAS5500 lithography machine.

Currently, domestic mobile phone and computer companies purchase chips from established chip manufacturers such as Intel, AMD, IBM, and TSMC, and are far from having the ability to independently design and manufacture chips.

The chips used by RIM came partly from Texas Instruments and partly from North American companies such as Motorola. Previously, due to its weak strength, RIM also lacked the ability to design and manufacture chips independently, so it used chips from these companies.

RIM, now with its greatly increased strength, still has a long way to go in this regard, but Mike and Qi Xidong clearly already have strong ideas in this area.

In their view, if they only intended to make RIM a small to medium-sized mobile phone manufacturer, then they would not need to invest so much in this research and development. However, their ambitions were obviously not limited to that; they also wanted to enter the chip manufacturing field.

Zhao Chang'an originally felt that RIM didn't need to do this at all, at least not now. Design is certainly necessary, but the specific chips can be manufactured by foundries now and in the future. There is no need to do everything personally.

However, not long ago, the Canadian government met with Qi Xidong and Mike and made it clear that they hoped to establish a Canadian chip design and manufacturing company in Toronto or Waterloo, and in return, they would provide RIM with sufficient preferential policies and tax support.

So the two of them got a little carried away, but they still had some self-awareness and were negotiating with companies like Texas Electric to purchase their mature chip manufacturing licenses.

The world is still a chaotic, makeshift operation, at least for now. Since they really want to do it, Zhao Chang'an has no reason to stop them. If they are thinking of cooperating with ASML, then they might as well express their goodwill to OneNano North America with some orders first.

As for the men, brothers, friends, etc., Zhao Chang'an is too busy to have such free time.

After rambling on the phone for almost an hour, I finally hung up and was about to take a shower when Yang Yixin called.

"Why is the call taking so long? I've tried calling four times in the past hour, and it's always busy."

Yang Yixin on the other end of the phone sounded a little annoyed and impatient.
