When I am reborn, I just want to be a top student

Tangdu, Galaxy Technology.

Chen Lingyue looked at Wang Donglai anxiously, with a hint of embarrassment on his face.

As an executive poached by Wang Donglai, Chen Lingyue is definitely one of the top ranked in Galaxy Technology.

He is in charge of projects in the fields of artificial intelligence medical care, semiconductors, and drones.

Thanks to Wang Donglai's efforts, Galaxy Technology has a great advantage in these fields.

In the market, it swept all corners, creating something from nothing and grabbing a considerable market share in just one or two years.

However, just when he thought Galaxy Technology would become an industry giant so smoothly.

The unexpected happened.

"No hurry, tell me the details again!"

Wang Donglai sat on a chair with a calm expression, and spoke to Chen Lingyue to comfort him.

After hearing what Wang Donglai said, Chen Lingyue immediately said, "We use the CPU provided by Qualcomm, and the computer vision processing chip is given to Samsung. Last year, the person in charge of Samsung expressed the idea of ​​raising the price, but the negotiation was not completed, and we thought the matter was over."

“I didn’t expect something like this to happen!”

"I am responsible for this matter. In fact, I should have been prepared when Samsung made this request last year."

The matter was not complicated, and Chen Lingyue explained it clearly in just two sentences.

After explaining the matter clearly, Chen Lingyue took the initiative to apologize.

No matter what, as the person in charge in this regard, he naturally cannot escape responsibility when something like this happens.

Now, actively apologizing can turn passivity into initiative.

Hearing Chen Lingyue's apology, Wang Donglai frowned slightly.

"Okay, how can you guard against this kind of thing? As long as we continue to buy chips, he will be fearless."

"This is an open conspiracy. Even if we all know about it, we have no other choice. And they are sure of this!"

"Is it possible that you now understand the company rules I set earlier?"

Wang Donglai did not intend to blame Chen Lingyue, but spoke in a gentle voice.

Chen Lingyue nodded, a hint of admiration flashing in his expression, and said: "Indeed, if it weren't for your foresight, I'm afraid the losses this time would be far more than this."

Wang Donglai nodded and said, "The West always claims to be a civilized country, emphasizing honesty, high business reputation, etc., but this is actually an illusion."

"You only need to flip through history books to know the history of the Ansa people. Their ancestors were either pirates or gangsters. However, after the great maritime discoveries, they suddenly became an excellent race. It's ridiculous."

"They are still full of barbarism and plunder in their bones. As for what they will do, it is not surprising to me!"

"This is not the first time that something like this has happened."

"Perhaps only when chips of the same quality appear in China can this situation be stopped from happening again!"

Chen Lingyue thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's true. If you don't think about it carefully, you will really be deceived by the media."

Hearing this, Wang Donglai said a name with a gloomy look on his face.

"reader!"

Chen Lingyue reacted quickly and immediately understood Wang Donglai's point. He said, "When I was a kid, I didn't think this thing was anything special. But when I grew up, I realized that there was something wrong with it. I don't know why such a thing could be published."

Wang Donglai certainly knew part of the reason, but he didn't say it out loud. Instead, he changed the subject very naturally.

"I asked the company to make a backup plan. Tell me about it!"

Wang Donglai was not surprised nor panicked when the chip was stuck.

Because he had prepared a backup plan from the very beginning.

Even if we take a step back, Samsung is doing this just to make money. As long as it cuts a little bit of its own flesh, there will still be sufficient supply of chips.

However, this idea did not appear in Wang Donglai's mind.

When Wang Donglai asked about the backup plan, Chen Lingyue's tone subconsciously became serious, and he reported aloud: "According to the boss's instructions, all chips that appear on the market will be purchased and tested to find the most suitable ones for the company."

"While purchasing, we also maintained close contact with companies such as SMIC and Zhongwei, but they felt that the chip requirements we put forward were too high and difficult to achieve with existing technology. In addition, the yield rate was also low and the cost was relatively high."

"If we give up buying chips from Samsung, the only big manufacturer we can choose is TJD in Formosa."

Chen Lingyue spoke clearly and quickly outlined the backup plan.

After listening, Wang Donglai raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Let's change this plan. From now on, we will increase the authority of domestic companies such as Zhongwei and SMIC. TJD can cooperate with them, but they must do the OEM work. We cannot hand over our lifeline to this company."

It is actually very easy to distinguish whether a subordinate is qualified or not, and whether a subordinate is excellent or not.

When faced with the boss's instructions, qualified subordinates will just nod and agree.

In addition to completing this basic job, excellent subordinates will also have other outstanding performances.

"Okay, boss, do you want me to make an appointment with these two companies?" Chen Lingyue asked.

Wang Donglai nodded and said, "Okay, arrange the time and we'll go there directly!"

……

Magic City.

Wang Donglai didn’t have much feeling when he came to Shanghai again.

This was his second time in the Magic City, which was considered to be his previous life.

However, Wang Donglai doesn't like this extremely prosperous first-tier city very much.

There are many reasons, but the most important one is that as an ordinary person in his previous life, he could not stay here and would be rejected by this city.

Every city has its own cultural atmosphere. The sophisticated egoists in Shanghai and the old men and women in Beijing have different expressions.

Wang Donglai doesn't like Shanghai nor Beijing.

Zhongwei Company.

The employees who came to work today were a little surprised and confused because they saw their boss waiting outside the door.

It looks like he is waiting for someone.

Whether in terms of his net worth or academic status, Yin Zhiyao can be considered to have a great reputation.

And one can imagine what kind of person the person is who can be greeted by him outside the door.

Is it an official?
Or the super-rich people at the top of the Forbes rankings?
Or maybe he is a super expert from overseas?
With this in mind, many employees worked absent-mindedly, and most of their attention was focused on Yin Zhiyao.

Soon, Wang Donglai and Chen Lingyue appeared at the gate of Zhongwei Company. When Yin Zhiyao saw Wang Donglai, he immediately went to meet him.

"Welcome Professor Wang, it's an honor to have you here!"

Yin Zhiyao walked up to Wang Donglai enthusiastically, shook his hand, and spoke cheerfully.

"I have always wanted to invite Professor Wang to come. Professor Wang helped our company a lot with the last etching plan. To be honest, if it weren't for Professor Wang's help, I'm afraid it's hard to say whether the company would still exist now."

In front of Wang Donglai, Yin Zhiyao behaved very politely and spoke in a sincere tone.

From the fact that Yin Zhiyao addresses Wang Donglai as Professor Wang, it can be seen that in Yin Zhiyao's heart, Professor Wang's status is greater than that of the founder of Galaxy Technology.

You should know that Galaxy Technology’s current market value is tens of billions, and this valuation is still rising with the passage of time.

From this we can see how much wealth Wang Donglai, the founder, possesses.

Hearing Yin Zhiyao's sincere thanks, Wang Donglai waved his hand and said casually: "Mr. Yin, you are too kind. I don't deserve such a high evaluation from you."

"The organization values ​​​​Mr. Yin's company very much and will not watch it fall into trouble. I am just lucky. If it drags on, I guess my etching plan may not be accepted by Mr. Yin."

Wang Donglai naturally knew that his superiors valued Zhongwei.

The situation he described may not necessarily not happen.

When Yin Zhiyao heard Wang Donglai's words, his eyes moved slightly, his expression remained unchanged, still smiling, but the way he addressed Wang Donglai changed.

"Boss Wang, I have been following your news. I would like to congratulate you first. Looking at the entire domestic business community, I don't think anyone can win the second prize of the National Science and Technology Award like you. It's amazing!"

Yin Zhiyao said with emotion.

Professor Wang was replaced by President Wang because Yin Zhiyao keenly realized from Wang Donglai's words that Wang Donglai's visit this time was not a simple meeting, but he came with a purpose.

Looking at Chen Lingyue who was following behind Wang Donglai, this possibility was completely confirmed.

Wang Donglai naturally heard the change in Yin Zhiyao's way of addressing him.

"I am just standing on the shoulders of giants, which is nothing. But it is President Yin who has led Zhongwei to achieve such great results, and he is truly amazing!"

Wang Donglai said to Yin Zhiyao with a smile.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing what Wang Donglai said, Yin Zhiyao smiled bitterly and said, "Boss Wang, you are just trying to scare me. You are only 21 years old this year, and you already have Galaxy Technology. I was far from that when I was 21. When you reach my age, I'm afraid you will achieve even more."

"In front of a young talent like you, I am already old. At most, I am just an old man with some abilities."

As he spoke, Yin Zhiyao also revealed a bit of fatigue.

What he said was true. After all, he was an elderly man.

"It just so happens that there have been some breakthroughs in the etching machine. I was thinking of calling Mr. Wang to have a chat, but I didn't expect that Mr. Wang would actually come over. I'd like to trouble Mr. Wang to give me some advice."

Yin Zhiyao joked with a smile, and then introduced the situation of the etching machine.

"With Mr. Wang's etching solution, our company's etching machine has also achieved a breakthrough. We are now preparing to produce the etching machine. This type of etching machine is a purely domestic machine with independent intellectual property and patent copyrights. The scale of the chips that can be made has also increased from 80nm to 65nm. We can even try 50nm, but the effect will be 13% worse."

At this point, Yin Zhiyao paused, looked at Wang Donglai seriously, and said, "Boss Wang, you have made a great contribution in this regard. If the etching solution had not been solved, I would have no confidence, let alone the development of this instrument."

"For so many years, we have been following the buttocks of those developed countries and picking up some leftovers. This time, we are finally ahead of them. Let them have a taste of what it feels like to follow behind others."

Yin Zhiyao spoke directly, and everyone present laughed.

Many Zhongwei employees who were following Yin Zhiyao also noticed this scene. Some of them were quick to take photos and send them to the group.

"Who are these two people?"

"I've been working here for several years, and I've never seen my boss smile so happily!"

"Exactly. I thought the boss couldn't laugh, but it turns out he can!"

“Compared to the boss’s smile, I’m more curious about who that young man is, and how he could be on par with the boss!”

There was a lot of discussion in the group, and finally everyone's attention was turned to Wang Donglai.

And at this moment, someone finally recognized Wang Donglai.

"You don't even know Wang Donglai, do you?"

As soon as the three words "Wang Donglai" came out, the group suddenly became a little quiet.

Immediately afterwards, the small group of more than a dozen people was flooded with messages.

What is discussed most is not Wang Donglai's achievements in mathematics or other academic fields, but his identity as the founder of Galaxy Technology.

Galaxy Technology is no longer an unknown small company.

There are not many Internet companies in the country with valuations of tens of billions, and Galaxy Technology, which originated in Tangdu, is the biggest surprise.

An Internet unicorn company emerged in an inland area that is totally unsuitable for Internet development.

If that were all, it would at most be an occasional topic of conversation for these office workers.

However, when Galaxy Technology became famous, news about its employee treatment also spread.

Year-end bonuses, meal subsidies, housing subsidies, talent subsidies, travel subsidies, holiday benefits, etc. have made many of their Internet peers envious.

There are many wealthy Internet companies in China, and many of them offer high year-end bonuses.

However, there are very few companies that can extend these benefits to every employee like Galaxy Technology.

As a result, Galaxy Technology has become the company that many workers most want to switch to.

Wang Donglai naturally didn’t know about the discussion among Zhongwei employees.

At this moment, he was visiting the company under the guidance of Yin Zhiyao.

From the office building, to the R&D department, and finally to the production workshop.

Wang Dong came to see it very seriously and carefully, but he spoke very little.

When Yin Zhiyao saw Wang Donglai like this, he felt even more puzzled.

I have no idea what Wang Donglai's intention is in visiting me.

Only Chen Lingyue, who was following behind Wang Donglai, roughly guessed what Wang Donglai was thinking.

From the chip supply cut, to the change of the backup plan, and then to Wang Donglai's sudden move to companies such as Zhongwei and SMIC.

Based on Wang Donglai's previous style, Chen Lingyue slowly figured out something.

When Chen Lingyue thought about what Wang Donglai might do, he couldn't help but be shocked.

Although I think it is unlikely intellectually, deep down I feel that my guess is very likely. (End of this chapter)
