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

According to data from the China Semiconductor Industry Association, the total value of China's entire semiconductor industry chain exceeded 3000 billion yuan last year, but the output value related to products was only 1047 billion, accounting for one-third of the total value.

The export volume of integrated circuits is relatively optimistic, but if we look at specific companies, we can find that the main forces are foreign-funded enterprises in China, rather than local Chinese companies.

These data are released to the public. When it comes to Manager Hu's position, he can naturally get more accurate information.

For example, last year the output value of the domestic semiconductor industry was only approximately US$125 billion, of which IC design was approximately US$50 billion, IC manufacturing was approximately US$37 billion, and packaging and testing was approximately US$38 billion. On the surface, IC design accounts for a higher proportion, but in fact, the main foundries of IC design companies are still TSMC or UMC in Taiwan.

Especially for large IC design companies, about 80% of wafers come from TSMC in Taiwan, which means that there is not much practice between domestic IC design companies and foundries.

In fact, many people have seen this problem.

However, the semiconductor industry requires long-term accumulation of talent and technology to take shape, so it is difficult to achieve success in a short period of time.

So, the idea that it is better to buy than to make came into play.

Domestic financial institutions have begun to aggressively acquire semiconductor companies around the world. However, this approach also has its drawbacks and still cannot solve many problems in the development of domestic semiconductors.

At the same time, the high investment and huge risks in the semiconductor industry have also meant that very little private capital has entered this field.

In the domestic IC design field, most companies have achieved success by relying on the support of strong parent companies, and there are almost no independent IC design companies.

If these parent companies are carefully examined, it can be found that some of them are state-owned enterprises that occupy a monopoly position and operate in a market-oriented manner.

Nanrui Zhixin Microelectronics, whose parent company is a subsidiary of State Grid, has a monopoly position in the smart meter IC as its main product.

Another example is HuaDa Semiconductor, whose parent company is China Electronics Information Industry Group, which monopolizes the IC market for identity cards.

The other part is non-state-owned private enterprises, such as HiSilicon relying on Huawei, Centaline Microelectronics relying on ZTE, Unisignal Technology relying on the TD-SCDMA technology owned by its parent company Datang Telecom, and GigaDevice Microelectronics relying on the strong support of Centaline International.

There are only a few companies that are truly independent IC design companies, including Spreadtrum, Redicot, Rockchip, Allwinner, etc. Among them, Spreadtrum and Redicot have been acquired by state-owned enterprises.

The reason for the acquisition is that these companies have extremely narrow financing channels, but they need a large amount of funds, so they can only be acquired by state-owned enterprises.

The last category is Taiwan enterprises, such as Goodix and Dontech, whose major shareholders and technology sources are standard Taiwan enterprises.

Of course, there is another very famous company called Foxconn, which is also a Taiwan company.

Due to some special reasons, Baodao's technical strength in this area is far greater than that of China, not only in the field of IC design, but also in many fields.

In fact, China has been catching up all the time because it is the world's largest semiconductor market. However, backward technology has led to massive dumping of foreign products.

Premium can actually be considered a normal business practice.

However, the West has also imposed various sanctions. Whenever there is a breakthrough in domestic technology, the prices of related products will be reduced, or more advanced products will be introduced.

In addition, limits and restrictions will be imposed on advanced products and manufacturing equipment.

Any leader who has reached a certain level will know these situations.

However, everyone approaches this situation differently.

Qin Province and Tang City have obviously chosen a path of independent research and development.

Since the rise of Wang Donglai, Tang City has become famous internationally. Coupled with the economic boost from Galaxy Technology, this city deep in the mainland has shone with new light.

According to common sense, Tang City will also adopt the fast track of "demolition, demolition, demolition and construction" to stimulate the economy.

However, the sudden emergence of Wang Donglai gave Tang City and Qin Province a new choice.

That is to develop high-tech technologies and use technological breakthroughs to drive economic development.

Such a major matter cannot be decided easily.

Finally, as the economic scale of Galaxy Technology grew and Wang Donglai demonstrated stronger technical research and development capabilities, Tang City and Qin Province made a final decision.

Give up stimulating the real estate economy and instead work hard to improve internal strength and develop high-tech industries.

The 20 billion support is just the first step.

The semiconductor industrial park is the second step.

At this moment, Manager Hu called Wang Donglai over to reaffirm Wang Donglai's determination.

Therefore, after receiving Wang Donglai's firm answer, Manager Hu no longer kept it a secret.

"Professor Wang, in addition to universities, there are many research institutes that also conduct research in this area. If Professor Wang is interested, you can choose the field you are interested in for research. As for the research institute, R&D funds, and technical personnel, as long as you put it forward, I can make the decision."

Wang Donglai's eyes lit up, and he said, "Manager Hu, I have a question. I am currently developing a domestic EDA software, which is also extremely important for the semiconductor industry."

"Developing it is not a problem. The real problem is whether it can be popularized and whether it can replace foreign EDA software after it is developed."

"I am not saying this to ask Mr. Hu to use administrative power to solve this problem, but to explain something."

“Sometimes, just because you have a result doesn’t mean you can apply it, especially in the semiconductor industry.”

"For many things, Chinese people are used to using foreign products. On the one hand, it is because foreign products are indeed excellent, and on the other hand, it is because they are used to it."

"It is still very difficult to change this situation. Either the performance must be excellent to a certain extent, showing a crushing trend, or it must be cheap enough. These two points are contradictory to a certain extent."

"So, it takes time for semiconductor technology to break through and develop, and it takes even more time for it to be reflected in the market, generate profits, and form scale."

"In this case, we must ensure policy consistency, continuous investment and support, and trust in professionals, and not let other things override technology."

"Only by doing this can I think there will be a glimmer of hope for the semiconductor industry."

Manager Hu understood the meaning of Wang Donglai's words.

His expression became serious, he looked at Wang Donglai firmly, and said, "I understand what you mean."

"In response to your concerns, I can also make a guarantee here. In the next three years, we will continue to invest 10 billion to support the development of semiconductor companies in the province. In addition, tax incentives, talent introduction, policy subsidies, etc. will also be provided in a timely manner."

"This is a collective decision made by the Qin Province. There will definitely be no changes in the order, so Professor Wang can rest assured."

"In addition, there will be no leader for this research and development. There will only be an office responsible for overall planning, and I will personally serve as the leader of the leadership team."

"Finally, I have stayed in Qin Province for so long because I hope to see Qin Province become better. I extremely hope that a truly high-tech company with advanced technology can emerge in the Northwest."

"I see this hope in Galaxy Technology, so you can do it boldly. As long as you have a clear conscience and follow the right path, the Qin Province will always support your work."

What Manager Hu said really exceeded Wang Donglai's expectations.

There is no hiding anything, just say it directly and clearly, showing your sincerity.

Logically speaking, a leader like Manager Hu would not speak so clearly to avoid unexpected situations.

However, Manager Hu did not do so this time.

Wang Donglai could also hear it, so he felt relieved and a smile appeared on his face.

"Thank you for your support, Manager Hu. I won't let you down!"

Manager Hu waved his hand seriously and corrected him, saying, "It's not that you are thanking me. It's mainly because you are doing a good job, which is beneficial to the development of Qin Province and the development of the domestic semiconductor industry. That's why I support you."

"If the person who did this was Zhang San or Li Si, I would also support them!" Manager Hu deliberately corrected what Wang Dong said, and the meaning he expressed was very simple.

Wang Donglai also understood and did not feel alienated by this. Instead, he smiled and said seriously, "It is a blessing for the province of Qin to have a leader like Manager Hu. I am from the province of Qin, and I think the manager will not think that I am flattering him when I say this."

"Hahaha!"

Manager Hu was immediately amused by Wang Donglai's words and started laughing.

"A good reputation is worse than a gold or silver cup. I feel ashamed to hear you say this as a Qin province native."

"Speaking of which, I have news for you. There will be a big surprise waiting for you at the end of the year!"

Manager Hu deliberately kept everyone in suspense and did not elaborate on what the big surprise at the end of the year would be.

Wang Donglai didn't take this matter to heart.

After all, if something is said to be a big surprise by someone of Mr. Hu’s status, it must not be an ordinary thing.

But for Wang Donglai, it's just those few things.

It’s either some important award or some important honor.

If we analyze it in more detail, there are only a few that meet the requirements. If we combine the time and conditions, we can completely analyze them out.

However, Wang Donglai did not do so, but wanted to keep a sense of surprise.

Knowing it in advance would actually ruin the feeling.

As the second chief steward of Qin Province, Chief Hu has a lot of things to do and his arrangements are very tight.

After everything was said and done, the time was almost up.

……

After leaving the Qin Provincial Compound, Wang Donglai did not go to Tangdu Jiaotong University, but went to Galaxy Technology.

Wang Donglai did not forget that he still had a mission in progress.

Originally, I was planning to complete the EDA software thoroughly first and then launch it into the market.

With the example of advanced packaging design solutions, it is not surprising that Wang Donglai came up with a domestic EDA software, and it will also be easier to gain the trust and use of domestic semiconductor-related companies.

Now, we have the strong support of Qin Province.

Wang Donglai understood that Qin Province was placing a bet by rejecting the original real estate economic development model.

Although Manager Hu did not give Wang Donglai any specific tasks or requirements, he knew very well that no matter how rich he was in China, it would be nothing in front of Manager Hu.

However, Manager Hu specifically talked to him and told him so many of his true feelings, which shows that Manager Hu cares about and supports him.

So what Wang Donglai has to do next is to let Qin Sheng see hope.

Only when we see our own ability and level in this area can we continue to increase our support.

At present, it is only supporting the development of semiconductors. After Wang Donglai develops more technologies, breaks the monopoly and creates more value, Qin Province is likely to list semiconductors as a major development industry.

This is the situation that Wang Donglai wants to see.

With the 5 billion provided by Tang City, Galaxy Technology's development has become even more rapid.

Although there are other money-burning apps like Pinyidao and Douyin, this amount of money is enough for Galaxy Technology's current needs.

in the office.

Wang Donglai built a computer specifically for himself to use for work.

At this moment, he was typing on the keyboard frantically.

His fingers moved quickly, typing on the keyboard.

On the computer screen, codes appear one after another.

Software such as Silhouette, Lark, EDA, etc.

For other programmers, it is definitely an extremely complex project.

To complete a simple framework, it may take a team to work all night for a week or even half a month.

This is just the beginning. We will have to continue updating to find and fix bugs.

However, Wang Donglai is not like that.

After the computer reached level six, he acquired a skill called "Man-Machine Integration".

The ability of this skill is to enhance Wang Donglai's connection with the computer.

To put it in the most intuitive terms, when Wang Donglai writes code, it is just like writing.

In addition, with Wang Donglai's knowledge in the field of computers, completing a software coding is a piece of cake for him.

It is no exaggeration to say that Wang Donglai only needs a few days to write a mature software.

Moreover, the code of this software is very concise and there will be no bugs.

This is Wang Donglai’s true strength at the moment.

But even so, Wang Donglai was busy for a long time.

After all, the software that Wang Donglai has to complete are extremely important, so he naturally wants to make them perfect.

Half a month passed and it was November.

"call!"

Wang Donglai let out a long breath.

Take your hands off the keyboard.

In the past half month, he has put almost all his energy into this.

Originally, he should have completed the software coding long ago.

However, as his abilities were so outstanding, Zhang Bytedance, Huang Zheng and others shamelessly came to him and asked Wang Donglai to review and update the company's product software.

Faced with such a request, Wang Donglai couldn't refuse and had to agree.

So it has been delayed until now.

After exhaling, Wang Donglai's eyes brightened and a smile appeared on his face as he looked at the several software programs he had written.

These software are exactly... (End of this chapter)
