Rebirth 98, the rise started from ripping off Microsoft

Chapter 821
At the end of the meeting just now, Jack immediately went to the toilet. Just after he came out of the toilet, he heard someone saying that someone outside threatened to kill the richest man Lu. He was startled and hurried out to check the situation.

This is the 21st century, and there are still people who dare to shout and kill in public. What kind of warrior is this?
When Jack Ma arrived at the scene, the woman had already left. He quickly asked Lu Yiming, "Boss Lu, are you okay? I'm really sorry, I didn't do a good job of security."

When he said this, Jack Ma seemed very sincere. After all, he was the one who saved this game, and Lu Yiming was the richest man in Asia. If there was something wrong here, he would probably be stabbed to the bone.

Lu Yiming smiled and said, "I'm fine."

Hearing this, Jack Ma breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "That's okay. People nowadays are too outrageous. Parents are the best teachers for children. Don't they understand this? They are negligent in disciplining their children. Instead, blame the game. Forget it all, and in the end, even the game object is wrong, I don’t know how to complain.”

On the contrary, Lu Yiming said calmly: "Speaking of it, it's not like he got the wrong partner."

"???"

Jack Ma looked at Lu Yiming suspiciously.

Lu Yiming said: "I also contributed to the introduction of World of Warcraft. The person representing this game is my classmate, and I also invested some money in it."

Jack Ma's eyes were full of confusion.

At this time, World of Warcraft is very popular in China, and the speed of making money is like a money printing machine. Even he is very envious.

Didn't expect it to be related to Lu Yiming?

For a while, the more Ma Jie thought about it, the more he envied him. Why the richest man Lu made money was like picking up a gold mountain from the ground, but he still had to go out of his way to fool investors everywhere.

After discussing swords in West Lake, Lu Yiming didn't stay long, and ran back to Zhonghai to catch his breath. As for why he didn't go back to Baiyun, everyone knew that the summer in Guangdong Province was really hot, and even Lu Yiming couldn't bear it.

What's more, on China Shipping's side, Yixin Technology, which specializes in chip processing, will soon be completed and put into production.

In the past few years, Lu Yiming has used both legal and illegal methods to effectively implement the semiconductor industry chain, so that he will not be copied by others in the future.

However, before the fab was put into operation, on December 2005, 12, another major event occurred in China. The "Godfather of Dairy Industry" Zheng Junhuai was imprisoned and taken away from his office late at night.
Charged with embezzlement of public funds, was sentenced to 6 years.

When Li Yiwen mentioned this matter, he also expressed emotion: "Old Zheng is gone."

Lu Yiming smiled and asked: "Why, you want to complain for him?"

"I'm not related to him, what kind of injustice are we calling? I just feel sad that the rabbit died and the fox died. The dairy industry in Xiaguo was started by Lao Zheng. As a result, the peaches were picked away as soon as they grew, and he was jailed." Prison, is this plausible?"

Although the matter had nothing to do with him, Li Yiwen still felt sad when he saw him.

Lu Yiming has long been used to this, and he doesn't want to talk too much about this kind of topic. After all, big fish eat small fish. Zheng Junhuai himself doesn't know how to retreat bravely, protect himself wisely, or start a new stove. Now he loses and can complain who?

"Don't think about these unhappy things, go, follow me to Yixin Technology, and show you something good."

"The fab is in production!?"

"Ah."

Soon, Lu Yiming and Li Yiwen came to Yixin Technology, and Liang Mengsong, the leader of the technical department, came to greet him.

This gentleman has an unusual identity. He is the No. 1992 soul of TSM, the world-renowned FinFET inventor, and worked for several years in ADM, a major processor manufacturer. He joined TSM after 12 and worked for [-] years. technology core.

In order to lure Liang Mengsong over, Lu Yiming not only paid him four times his salary, but also dispatched his own special plane to take him and former TSM employees to the mainland. Not only the treatment, but also enough respect.

Talent is priceless.

Although Yixin Technology has not yet put into production even a chip, in fact, it established the Industrial Technology Research Institute two years ago and recruited overseas talents. I think that the founder of TSM, Lao Zhang, also poached people from Texas Instruments and returned from Silicon Valley. There are as many as 2000 Chinese technicians in TSM, and it is through attracting overseas talents and catching up with the vertical division of labor that TSM has gradually become the king of chip foundry.

Now Lu Yiming is naturally crossing the river by feeling the stones of TSM. In the past two years, more than 3000 chip engineers have been directly dug from the other side of the strait.

Two of TSM's "Technical Six Gentlemen" work in the fab under the name of Yixin Technology.

Lu Yiming acted very decisively, not only digging out the technical personnel at the bottom, but also digging out the top cards, throwing coins and it's over.
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, visiting the thatched cottage three times is considered to be full of sincerity. In order to poach people, Yixin Technology does not pay attention to martial arts. The personnel commissioner sent to live in the "thatched cottage", for example, it is not far from the TSM headquarters. Hsinchu hotel, one stay is half a year.

After you settle down, find a local headhunting company. One of them counts as one, quotes one by one, and digs a person to give 40% of the job-hopper's annual income as a reward, and then asks if you are sincere.

And if they can find a heavyweight, the headhunters can get millions of dollars in rewards. For a while, the Hsinchu Industrial Park was full of headhunters. Employees get a raise.

After all, if they change jobs and go to the mainland of Xia, they can earn enough money for ten years in three years. At that time, regardless of whether the company goes bankrupt or not, they can retire with a lot of money and enjoy life.

As for those who have a family and a room?
easy to do!

Have kids, right?
A school subsidy of 6 yuan is provided every year, so I ask you to subsidize it?
what?
You can't bear to abandon your old colleagues?

That's great, let's call them up and come together.

Under the high-paying offensive, Nanya Branch lost 48 high-level technical personnel at one time, and Huaya Branch, a DRAM factory of Micron, lost about 400 people. Headhunting, but all the security guards were poached, and the boss directly became a polished commander.

After Lu Yiming saw Liang Mengsong, he smiled and shook hands with him: "Are you still used to the life in Zhonghai?"

"Habit."

"If there is something you are not used to, don't hold it in your heart, you must say it."

Liang Mengsong was a little flattered by Lu Yiming's enthusiasm. To be honest, when someone asked him to come to the mainland to work, he was actually not happy.

But when the other party offered four times the salary and told him that the person who poached him was Lu's richest man, Liang Mengsong immediately changed his mind.

Apart from the issue of remuneration, it was more about the influence brought by Lu Yiming's personal fame.

After all, he also wants to start a career, and Lu Yiming has both the financial resources and the determination, and is willing to be the bole of his thousand-mile horse. Why would he refuse?
After coming to Yixin Technology, Liang Mengsong really had a good time, so he felt more and more that his decision to change jobs was correct.

Not long after, Hu Weiwu also appeared in front of Lu Yiming and Li Yiwen: "Mr. Lu, Mr. Li, I was just about to call you."

"Haha, Lao Hu, you have worked hard these few years."

Hu Weiwu has contributed a lot to the development of Fuda Microelectronics in recent years. He is definitely one of the great heroes of Xia Guo's semiconductor industry. Therefore, Lu Yiming also attaches great importance to him. Many things of Yixin Technology are actually handled by him on a part-time job. .

After all, when it comes to semiconductors, Lu Yiming is purely a layman, and he knows nothing but throwing coins.

It was almost lunch time, Hu Weiwu invited: "How about we chat while eating?"

"Okay, I'm a little hungry too."

Lu Yiming smiled and walked towards the cafeteria together with Li Yiwen.

The construction of the Yixin factory area is very complete, because the site is located in Zhonghai, and the government has given strong support. The land seems to be handed over to Lu Yiming as if money is not needed, just so that the fab can settle here.

Therefore, the scale of the factory building is very large, and there is no need to dig and search. Lu Yiming even thought about improving the living conditions of the employees in terms of basics and increasing their attractiveness.

Therefore, including the cafeteria, all kinds of treatment standards are very high. Anyway, it is more than enough to kill the peers. On this point, TSM, whose ancestral graves are about to be dug up, must have the most say.

Hu Weiwu is also extremely careful in logistics, and selected two top chefs, which won the praise of the entire company's employees and technical experts.

Even Lu Yiming, who came to inspect today, was stunned by the food provided in the cafeteria.

There are three large color TVs in the cafeteria, so that everyone can sit here, watch and chat while eating.

So, Lu Yiming pulled a few people and began to chat about the production line technology with great interest.

After lunch, with nothing to do, Lu Yiming ate melon seeds and chatted with the senior management of Yixin next to him and the expert leader of Godson.

He can't talk about technology. At most, he just memorizes some terms and parameters by rote, but this is not interesting in front of experts. As long as the details are mentioned, the bottom line will definitely be revealed.

But if you talk about interesting topics, then there is something to talk about.

Especially looking forward to the future, as a reborn person, Lu Yiming is really worthy of anyone.

Bian Bo from Godson listened with gusto and said, "It may be a little exaggerated, but I believe that what Mr. Lu said is true. After all, he is the richest man in Asia."

Hu Weiwu laughed. He has been working for a long time, and it is quite relaxing to hear such words occasionally.

Bian Bo looked at Lu Yiming curiously, and asked: "Mr. Lu, you once said in an interview that the future is the era of consumer electronics. Domestic MP3 players are very popular now. What about foreign countries? It is the same?"

"What? Team Leader Bian, are you interested in this category? Are you interested in changing jobs from R&D in the future?"

Lu Yiming joked curiously.

Bian Bo shook his head: "Research and development is very interesting. I think every step of our Godson brings the domestic and international one step closer. How can I say this feeling, just..."

Lu Yiming smiled and said, "It's a sense of accomplishment, right?"

"That's true. Now that we have our own fab, we will compete with European and American powers in the future. Everyone will rely on their own abilities. It's a bit exciting to think about it."

A smile appeared on Bian Bo's face, obviously full of confidence in the future.

Lu Yiming nodded, roughly understanding the sense of accomplishment that research and development can bring under such circumstances.

Every small step taken in technology is often a big step forward in comprehensive national strength.

This is the current Godson. Fudan Microelectronics is responsible for research and development, and Yixin Technology is responsible for the processing and production of semiconductors. As long as the industrial chain is in operation, a bright future can be expected.

"I hope Godson can go faster and farther."

Lu Yiming sincerely wished, many things are completely different, maybe Godson can really make dreams come true?

People, after all, have to have dreams, and dare to think and do.

Regarding Bian Bo's curiosity, Lu Yiming talked eloquently: "The growth trend of consumer electronics is different from that of many products. It is often ups and downs, and the time will be very short. Let’s talk about a certain music player.”

"In 2003, the annual sales volume in the American market was 120 million units. In 04 last year, our mid-year forecast figure was 360 million units. At the end of last month, we corrected the annual sales estimate, which should be 500 million units. Around the station, the error will not be too large."

"From 120 million to 500 million, the data is more than four times different."

Lu Yiming asked with a smile, "Is the increase fast?"

Everyone nodded again, this increase is too strong!

Then Lu Yiming said: "But this is not the most powerful thing. This month's growth rate has not slowed down. That's right, just as you think, the target sales volume of the entire market this year will be 2000 to 2500 million units."

Lu Yiming drank the vegetable soup, and listed the comparison of market sales again: "The year before last was 120 million units, and this year it is 2200 million units. If I said in 2003 that this market growth rate would be believed?"

120 million to 2200 million.

This is even more astonishing.

Bian Bo thought about it again, this is the estimate for this year, what about next year?How much will the sales figure in this market jump to?

He couldn't help but exclaimed: "No wonder you, the richest man in Lu, always say that this is the era of consumer electronics. This, this is really shocking, and there are music copyright moats in foreign countries, and Mingyuan Technology has in-depth cooperation with major music companies. , and will take off with this market in the future.”

Now Mingyuan Technology is already very powerful, what will it be like to take off?

An integrated product formed by hardware products, software and music, how can this allow competitors to enter the track?

"A moat is not a moat. Well, of course it is at the moment, but just like SOMY's Walkman, it is impossible to imagine that it will be defeated by the Internet plus music. The competitors of mp3 players may not be of the same dimension at all."

Lu Yiming seriously commented on this former opponent of the island country, Ming Yuan Technology is not as carefree as it seems.

He connected consumer electronics with integrated circuits, and said: "The explosive growth of consumer electronics has caused the entire industry chain to follow suit, including Godson and Taiji. The demand has soared."

"From this point of view, it's okay for Yixin to enter the game this year, at least not too hungry."

"The market prospects are good, mainly due to technology."

"Leaving aside our production capacity, I am also a little worried about IC design and IC packaging."

Bian Bo replied: "Mr. Lu, the design is hard to say. The current packaging manufacturers are still very mature. You don't have to worry about the downstream. Based on our experience, the upstream design and orders will test the competitiveness."

After that, Lu Yiming received a call from Hu Zhengming, the general manager of Yixin Technology.

This person is even more of a great talent, serving as the first technical executive of TSM and concurrently serving as the TSM Distinguished Chair Professor at the University of California, Berkeley.

In 2004, he returned to teach at the University of California, Berkeley.

Then not long ago, Lu Yiming dug out a core of technology.

For semiconductor processing, competitiveness is the quotation of wafer manufacturing. The higher the yield rate, the more room for competition.

Before explaining how the "One-chip Wafer Manufacturing Alliance" was built, he received a call from Zhonghai, but it was Hu Zhengming who had arrived in Zhonghai.

"Congratulations to Mr. Lu and Yixin, this is a good step."

Hu Zhengming congratulated Yixin on its risky trial production. This was the first time he took the initiative to call.

Lu Yiming smiled in surprise: "Professor Hu, this 130nm breakthrough is no longer top-notch. Did you make a special phone call to congratulate this?"

Hu Zhengming asked: "Then what do you think? How would I react when I heard such news?"

Lu Yiming thought for a few seconds and said, "I thought Professor Hu would just say it was okay when he heard the news."

"Then Mr. Lu really guessed wrong. You can build a 12-inch fab and break through the 130nm risk trial production from zero to now. It is a commendable thing to put in any region of the world."

He then said: "I went to TSM in 01, and they were only competing with IBM at 130nm. One chip is already very good."

Hearing such praise, Lu Yiming said honestly: "I always feel that we are not as fast as Godson when it was built in one year, and we are not as good as TSM who is at the forefront of the world. Well...Professor Hu, today we have you. The phone call gave me a boost in confidence."

"Hahaha, I think Mr. Lu is a person who will continue to do things no matter whether his confidence increases sharply or not." Hu Zhengming said with a smile, "It's just that I don't know when Yixin will be able to practice FinFET. "

Lu Yiming tasted it for two seconds, and said decisively: "Professor Hu, Yixin is going to mass produce 130nm now, and it needs to continue to advance the process. 90nm and 65nm are just the time for professors to give advice. I believe there are With the guidance of the professor, Yixin will definitely be able to start working on FinFET as soon as possible.”

"Okay." Hu Zhengming said just one word.

It was too easy to promise.

Lu Yiming almost choked.

He froze for a moment and didn't speak for a full ten seconds.

Hu Zhengming couldn't help laughing: "Why don't I think about it again?"

"No, no, Professor Hu, I am so overjoyed that I am speechless. With Professor Hu in my heart, it is like Liu Bei visiting the thatched cottage three times to invite Zhuge Liang, and the world is about to be divided!" Lu Yiming said excitedly.

Hu Zhengming smiled and said, "But, Mr. Lu, I have something to say first, and I don't know if you can agree."
