I've done whatever I want

Chapter 137 Paranoia

The autumn moon is bright and clear, and the autumn wind is blowing coolly.

When the little fresh meat Zhu Tao hurried to Magnolia Garden, the stars were already lighting up the sky.

The three young men came to the street of taverns, and the business of those taverns was booming without exception, there was a lot of voices inside, and fierce battles of toasting were in full swing.

Xin Tong suddenly remembered the Dai Viet era. If his old classmate Jiang Hua had not taken action, there might be a huge crowd of diners today.

Why!Who made him unable to bear the pressure of life?It would be great if we survived the epidemic, this is destiny!

When they were disappointed again and again, thinking that it would be difficult to find a tavern to drink, a middle-aged man bowed his waist and came up to him: "Handsome man, please come in!"

The man's face had the fake smile inherent in businessmen, making it impossible to refuse his kindness.

"Is there a seat inside?" Zhu Tao asked, holding up the frame of his gold-rimmed glasses.

If you just wait inside, forget it.

"There's a seat, there's a seat! There's a small private room upstairs. The people in the previous group have just left after finishing their meal. Handsome guy, please come upstairs!" The middle-aged man made an inviting gesture.

What a coincidence. Coming out at this time, I can only catch the second wave.

The three of them went upstairs and entered the private room. Xin Tong looked up and saw landscape paintings on the wall, which looked much more elegant than the white-walled lobby.

"Do you still remember Zhang Kaijun?" Zhu Tao asked as soon as he sat down at the wine table.

Isn't Zhang Kaijun the wafer manufacturing engineer of Smic Fab?Xin Tong met him when he took the Six Sigma exam.

"Of course I remember!" Xin Tong nodded.

"Are you talking about the brother who graduated from Qinghua University?" Yuan Chengxu asked.

"Yeah, that's him! Why don't you call him for a drink tonight? If he comes, we can sit down and have a Six Sigma symposium!" Zhu Tao said.

Xiao Xianrou is very excited to meet so many powerful people in the industry.

"Hey! Gong Zhu, if you don't tell me, I'll forget about him!" Xin Tong said while taking out his Bird phone.

The SMIC Fab factory is not far away. It only takes a short time to call a taxi. After a while, Zhang Kaijun arrived.

"Welcome Mr. Zhang!" Warm applause immediately erupted in the box.

"Master Yuan is here too!" Zhang Kaijun was very surprised when he saw Yuan Chengxu sitting upright.

"Yuan Gong? He's my roommate! I'm treating guests, so of course he's going to come to support the show!" Xin Tong smiled triumphantly.

With the arrogance of a literary man, it is not easy for ordinary people to persuade him.

"Are you roommates?" Zhang Kaijun was at a loss.

One is a DE from a design company, and the other is a manufacturing engineer from a packaging and testing factory. How come they become roommates?
"We rented a house together in Yulan Xiangyuan. It has three bedrooms and one living room. There is still one person missing. Do you want to move here?" Xin Tong asked.

"Magnolia Garden? The famous Jerusalem among Jiangdong's IT staff! Three of them are short of one, okay! You can keep the bed for me, and I'll go back and apply for living abroad with the company!" Zhang Kaijun said.

"Great! I'll go to your rental house to play poker together on the weekend!" Zhu Tao said excitedly.

"Playing poker?" Yuan Chengxu's eyes sparkled. There is a probability of playing cards in poker. The Olympiad champion has a strong logical reasoning ability. Through actuarial calculations, he can basically judge the opponent's cards.

"Let's fight against each other, brother Xin and I, and you two." Zhu Tao said confidently.

"Very good!" Zhang Kaijun nodded.

Zhu Tao, a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, dares to play an upgrading game with the god of science. He is really brave.

"One of you graduated from Qinghua University and the other graduated from Capital University. These two universities are the twin stars of universities across the country and are also the ceiling. You are the Qingshou combination. Normally we can't beat you. But the charm of the game is that the strong will capsize in the gutter, and the weak will change their fate. If we have the opportunity, we can play together!" Xin Tong said with a smile.

"it is good!"

After a while, the delicacies were brought out, as was the Jiugui wine ordered by Xin Tong.

"Do you know why I ordered Jiugui Liquor?" Xin Tong raised his head and asked.

"Drunkard? That's a nice name!" Zhu Tao said.

"Zhu Gong is right. I like the name of this wine. Drunkard wine. Generally speaking, a drunkard is a paranoid man. Being able to become a drunkard is definitely a state!" Xin Tong said.

Yuan Chengxu nodded, he is a typical paranoid!
"I remember Andy Grove once said that only the paranoid can survive!" Zhang Kaijun said.

"Andy Grove? The myth-maker of Intel chips, he is my idol in life!" Yuan Chengxu had a serious face, with a rare smile on his face.

Mentioning chips, Zhang Kaijun suddenly lowered his voice and asked: "Have you paid attention to SMIC and TSMC recently?"

"Zhang Gong, what happened?" Zhu Tao asked curiously.

"According to reliable inside information, recently SMIC plans to privately raise 6.3 million US dollars from the original shareholders and new investors, and is planning to go public. Stealing trade secrets, demanding compensation of 10 billion U.S. dollars." Zhang Kaijun said in a low voice.

"TSMC's move is very sinister!" Zhu Tao was filled with indignation.

Yuan Chengxu's face was livid, but Xin Tong treated it calmly.

"Under the leadership of Zhang Rujing, SMIC has now almost achieved the fourth place in the global chip foundry. The gap with TSMC's process technology is only one and a half generations, and it is only a year away. If TSMC does not suppress it, our SMIC Will catch up to it soon."

"I really want to beat someone up!" Zhu Tao, a passionate young man, clenched his fists.

"I heard that TSMC will not give up. Their ultimate goal is to force out the founder, Dr. Zhang Rujing!"

"It's simply too vicious!" Zhu Tao gritted his teeth.

"Zhang Rujing?" Xin Tong became curious about this character.

"Xin Gong, this Zhang Rujing is also a paranoid!" Yuan Chengxu said coldly.

"Yuan Gong is right, but he has a patriotic heart. In 2000, when he came to China for inspection, he once said that building a chip factory in the mainland is the feeling of family and country. We have no reason to return to China to serve the country. There is no need to make any sense. We just want to see that our Chinese nation can be strong and healthy."

"High! It's really high!" Xin Tong burst into tears and gave a thumbs up.

"He was born in mainland China. He was born in Nanjing in 1948 and went to Taiwan with his parents when he was a baby."

"Rooted in the mainland! Descendants of the dragon!" Xin Tong nodded.

"When he grew up, Zhang Rujing lived up to expectations and was admitted to National Taiwan University with excellent results. He then went to study at the State University of New York in the United States and obtained a bachelor's and master's degree in engineering. In 1977, Zhang Rujing joined Texas Instruments, the leading company in the semiconductor industry at the time. I worked for 20 years. During this period, Zhang Rujing received a PhD in electrical engineering, and more fortunately, Zhang Rujing joined Jack Kilby's research team."

"That's awesome!" Zhu Tao said, patting the wine table.

"Jack Kilby is a Nobel Prize winner in physics and the inventor of the integrated circuit. It was this opportunity that brought Zhang Rujing into contact with the most advanced semiconductor technology of the era."

"This is a legendary figure!" Xin Tong couldn't help sighing.
