Rebirth: Starting from a Trainee Teacher

Chapter 729

"Can Gu Jia satisfy you in that aspect normally?"

After chatting for a while, Bai Xiyao handed Zhou Jing the 2014 work report of the main departments of Ideal Technology.

"Yes, the main thing is that no one wants to abandon them."

Zhou Jing is not a person who cannot live without desires. Although he is energetic, he spends more of his energy on work. Besides, he has children and it takes a lot of time and energy to coax them. If he is as dissolute as many rich second-generations in your circle, Zhou Jing may not feel tired if he dates four or five girlfriends at the same time.

"I really admire your broad-mindedness. Change your online name to Duan Zhengchun or Wei Xiaobao."

Bai Xiyao took a paper cup and poured herself a cup of tea and said.

"I'm not as fickle as them."

Duan Zhengchun and Wei Xiaobao had seven or eight women, but Zhou Jing only has three now. The reason why he failed is that he couldn't deal with all three.

After taking a sip of water, Zhou Jing picked up a work report from the R&D department.

The work report is very detailed, listing in detail the projects and tasks to be completed by the Ideal Technology R&D Department in 2014. The smartphone projects include the second generation of Imagine, the first generation of Enjoy, and the third generation of Ideal. The terminal products include the second generation of Bluetooth headsets, the third generation of smart speakers, the second generation of children's watches, etc. Other projects are mainly pure technical research and development.

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." What's the next sentence?

Zhou Jing glanced through the work report and picked up a pen to sign.

“A river or sea is formed only by the accumulation of small streams.”

Bai Xiyao thought for a moment and said.

Zhou Jing nodded and said, "The R&D department should also pay attention to basic technology. Plan B should be implemented as soon as possible. All core technologies that use foreign technology should be included in Plan B."

Bai Xiyao said: "We are asking the R&D department to formulate a plan."

"Plan B is ideally centered around smartphones. The specific implementation will depend on the development of Taiwei Semiconductor's lithography machines and Shengtang's chip design. If the lithography machine project goes smoothly, other aspects can be slowed down or abandoned."

The domestic substitution plan that Zhou Jing is preparing to implement is actually not complicated. The core is the semiconductor industry. As long as Taiwei Semiconductor develops the lithography machine, other technologies will collapse when they are subject to sanctions. Therefore, Zhou Jing will consider the issue of capital investment and will not start from scratch in all aspects. He will just increase investment in Taiwei Semiconductor's R&D department.

Bai Xiyao said: "I understand. We need to develop our own lithography machines, chip design, major smartphone components, and communication technology."

"."

After getting off work at five o'clock, Zhou Jing went to his parents-in-law's house. He passed by a supermarket and bought some snacks for his children. There was incense in the car, so when he arrived at the community, Zhou Jing fumigated his clothes.

"Dad is back!"

Hearing the door open, the child ran to the door and threw himself on Zhou Jing.

"Did mom give you jelly and Oreos?"

Zhou Jing gently pinched the child's face and said.

"I'm angry, but I still want to be angry~"

When the little girl saw what Zhou Jing was holding, she immediately became greedy and stared at the plastic bag with her watery eyes.

"I can't eat today."

Gu Jia came out from the kitchen and said

"I just want one~"

The little girl grabbed Zhou Jing's hand and walked towards the bedroom, trying to avoid Gu Jia in order to eat.

"Only one piece."

Zhou Jing opened a box of children's biscuits and gave the child one.

"Dad, I still want some jelly~"

The little girl said eagerly.

"You can only eat this one today. Do you want to listen to Dad?"

Zhou Jing couldn't bear the child's nagging, so he opened a small jelly and fed it to the child.

"Listen to Dad!"

The little girl said happily after taking a bite of jelly.

Zhou Jing put the snack bag in Gu Jia's bag, picked up the child, kissed him and said, "What did mommy give you to eat?"

"Mianmian! Dad, I saw such a big dog~"

The little girl gestured with her arms outstretched.

"Such a big dog. Big dogs will bite people. You should avoid big dogs. Remember?"

Zhou Jing rubbed the child's head and said.

"Yeah~ I also saw the cat. My mom and I fed the cat some pork leg sausage~"

The little girl is like many of her peers, a chatterbox. She is just beginning to learn about the world and is curious about everything.

"Zhou Zhou is great, and mom is great too."

After the child finished eating the biscuits, Zhou Jing took him to the bathroom to wash his hands.

"Are you breaking your promise again? Didn't you promise mom that you wouldn't eat snacks today?"

Gu Jia prepared the meal and said to the child.

"I" the little girl felt guilty and said hesitantly: "I just angered a little bit~"

Gu Jia said: "Children must keep their words. If you don't keep your words, your mother will ignore you."

"Mom, I was wrong~"

The little girl said while hiding behind Zhou Jing's legs.

Gu Jia didn't continue preaching and sat down to eat. Zhou Jing was going to Suzhou tomorrow. After dinner, the family of three returned to the villa early. Gu Jia prepared Zhou Jing's luggage.

Zhou Jing was playing bicycle with his child in the lobby on the first floor. The toy bicycle was for two people and the two parts could be disassembled. The adult could sit in the front or the back. Zhou Jing let the child sit in the front to control the direction while Zhou Jing sat in the back to pedal. The lobby on the first floor of the villa had an activity space of about 50 to 60 square meters, which was enough for the children to move around.

"Mom, let's play together."

The child said as he looked towards the second floor corridor.

"Play with Dad first."

After Gu Jia finished the work at hand, she went to the first floor, and Zhou Jing gave the bicycle seat to Gu Jia.

The next day, Zhou Jing and Bai Xiyao set off in the morning. Bai Xiyao asked her cousin Bai Dongdong to drive to the airport. Zhou Jing and Bai Xiyao got off the plane in Shanghai and took Taiwei Semiconductor's special car to Suzhou.

In the evening, there was the annual meeting of Taiwei Semiconductor. Time was tight, so Zhou Jing and Bai Xiyao had a simple fast food meal in Suzhou and went to the company. Liu Guangyuan, general manager of Taiwei Semiconductor, greeted them downstairs in the office building in advance.

Without saying too much nonsense, Zhou Jing asked Liu Guangyuan to deliver the important information to the office. Zhou Jing and Bai Xiyao went to the office first, and Liu Guangyuan delivered the information after a while.

"sit."

Zhou Jing asked Liu Guangyuan to sit down and report on his work.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhou. Taiwei Semiconductor has exceeded all its goals this year, with revenue exceeding 5 billion and net profit exceeding 1 billion. Both revenue and net profit have exceeded Taiwei Semiconductor's best performance in the past."

"This year we upgraded the equipment on three production lines, which not only enables us to produce higher quality chips, but also significantly improves the yield rate."

Liu Guangyuan carefully reported the performance of Taiwei Semiconductor. Performance was the most effective factor in keeping his position. Although Taiwei Semiconductor was able to quickly turn losses into profits mainly due to the benefits provided by Ideal Technology, as the general manager, Liu Guangyuan learned lessons and reshaped the corporate culture of Taiwei Semiconductor very well. Even if he had no credit, he had worked hard.

"Taiwei Semiconductor has done very well this year, and the R&D department has also achieved remarkable results. You should know what the success of the R&D department means to the company. I am confident that Taiwei Semiconductor will become a combination of ASML and TSMC in the future, and I hope you have the same confidence."

Zhou Jing said as he checked the information.

“I believe our company can do it.”

If Liu Guangyuan had heard such words a year ago, he would have thought it was a daydream. But now the situation is different. Liu Guangyuan roughly knows the situation of Taiwei Semiconductor's R&D department, and there is really hope that the EUV lithography machine can be developed. As long as the lithography machine is developed, Taiwei Semiconductor will become a combination of ASML and TSMC. "Incorporate confidentiality work into the company's key projects."

Zhou Jing continued.

"Okay, Mr. Zhou, is there anything you need to arrange for the annual meeting tonight?"

Liu Guangyuan maintained a very upright attitude and showed no disrespect in front of the junior Zhou Jing.

"No, next year we will increase the salaries of people outside the R&D department, and also improve the benefits of frontline employees."

The company's business situation has improved, and Zhou Jing wants employees to feel it. The company can't make more money but the employees don't feel anything or have no sense of happiness. R&D staff have a separate salary and benefits system and do not need to increase their salaries for the time being.

"it is good."

Liu Guangyuan once again felt that the boss in front of him was different. When the company made money, he really gave employees a raise.

With nothing else to do, Zhou Jing walked around Liu Guangyuan and left the office.

"I am completely subdued by you."

Bai Xiyao said softly after Liu Guangyuan left the office.

Zhou Jing smiled. People like Liu Guangyuan can be replaced at any time. What Zhou Jing lacks the least now is talent. Anyone who is dissatisfied in the management of Taiwei Semiconductor can pack up and leave. There are many talented and capable people in Ideal Technology and Chuangzhi Technology.

"The chips produced by Taiwei Semiconductor are currently mainly consumed domestically. Will they seek to export them next year?"

Gu Jia said as he looked at the flow of chips produced by Taiwei Semiconductor.

"can."

Zhou Jing will not refuse foreign customers. Ideal Technology's Bluetooth chip is now the most advanced in the world. In order to promote it better, Ideal has divided the property rights of the Bluetooth chip to Zhirui Communication Technology Co., Ltd. The Bluetooth chips in domestic smart speakers, Bluetooth speakers, smart lamps and other industries are basically monopolized by this chip developed by Ideal. Zhou Jing controls the price at a level where it is more cost-effective for domestic competitors to buy Ideal than to develop it themselves.

For hardware like Bluetooth chips, the technology is mature in China so there is no need to spend money and manpower to develop it yourself.

Bai Xiyao said: "The artificial intelligence product development company invested by Suzhou will start construction after the new year. Will you attend the groundbreaking ceremony?"

"Not participating."

There is no need for Zhou Jing to participate. A billion-dollar project is just a piece of cake for Zhou Jing now.

After finishing their work, it was almost time to get off work, so Zhou Jing and Bai Xiyao went back to the hotel first.

"Please Mr. Zhou, is there anything I can help you with?"

The hotel staff knew that a big boss was staying today and their service attitude was very good.

"No, thank you."

Zhou Jing said politely.

"Boss, the person next to you is your assistant, right? How many rooms did they book?"

"Two rooms."

"That woman doesn't look like an assistant. She's not sexy at all."

“I don’t know what the overbearing president is doing here.”

"It seems that Ideal has invested in a company here."

The hotel waiter whispered to each other as they watched Zhou Jing and Bai Xiyao walk away.

"Would you like something to eat first?"

Bai Xiyao said when they arrived at the hotel room.

"You can yell if you're hungry, I'm not hungry."

Zhou Jing opened the cakes he bought on the road and ate them.

"I'm not hungry either. The climate difference between the north and south is too big."

Bai Xiyao was wearing warm clothes since she left Tangdu, and it was a bit hot when she arrived in Suzhou, so she went back to her room to change clothes.

Zhou Jing called Gu Jia. Zhou Jing was not at home as Gu Jia had taken the child back to her parents' home. When the child heard Zhou Jing's voice, he rushed to answer the phone. Zhou Jing and Gu Jia wanted to have a good chat and waited for the child to finish talking.

“Try not to drink alcohol at night.”

After the child finished speaking, Gu Jia picked up the phone and gave instructions.

Zhou Jing: "Well, has the BJ company's problem been resolved?"

Gu Jia: "Solved. I'm sure you'll be back to BJ the day after tomorrow. I'll buy the plane ticket tomorrow."

"buy it!"

The day after tomorrow, the 30th, Zhou Jing will definitely return to BJ, as Chuangzhi Technology will hold its annual meeting on the evening of the 30th.

Chuangzhi Technology is one of the core businesses of Zhou Jing and is responsible for the development of all major software systems, including the Tiantu operating system, chip design software, lithography machine control systems, intelligent driving systems, etc. Any one of these projects can create a powerful software company.

Tiantu operating system was jointly developed by Chuangzhi Technology and Huawei. With the rapid development of Ideal smartphones, its global sales have been close to those of Huawei phones.

If nothing unexpected happens, Ideal's smartphone sales will exceed Huawei's next year. Self-developed chips are Huawei's last stubbornness. If Ideal's self-developed chips overshadow Huawei's chips, it means that Huawei's mobile phone business will shrink severely, and Huawei may then withdraw from the Tiantu operating system project.

"The annual meeting is over, go to bed early."

Gu Jia was very worried about Zhou Jing's health. He had been traveling from BJ to Tangdu in the past few days, from Tangdu to Suzhou today, and would return to Tangdu from Suzhou tomorrow, and from Tangdu back to BJ the day after tomorrow. Just thinking about it made him tired.

Zhou Jing said: "I won't stay here for too long tonight. I'll leave after I finish my speech and eat something."

Zhou Jing and Bai Xiyao only showed up at the company's annual meeting. They came to Suzhou mainly to handle work matters, hold meetings for the R&D department, and solve some math and physics problems.

Taiwei Semiconductor R&D Department is the most important part of Zhou Jing's business sector, and it determines whether all companies under Zhou Jing can become stronger in the future. Therefore, Zhou Jing usually spends a lot of time on Taiwei Semiconductor R&D Department projects. Zhou Jing helps solve the mathematical and physical problems that the R&D team cannot solve.

Hearing Zhou Jing on the phone, Bai Xiyao walked to the door and walked away. After Zhou Jing finished the call, she went in and said, "Let me see our daughter."

Zhou Jing turned on his phone and handed it to Bai Xiyao, who then opened the photo album to look for photos of her children.

Bai Xiyao said, "My daughter is more pleasing to the eye. My sister's son is really giving me a headache now. He has broken two TVs and knocked over the water dispenser several times. We don't dare to put a water dispenser in the house anymore. He also breaks mirrors and bowls all the time."

"Boys are all like this when they are young. You have to be careful. Thinking back to when I was a kid, I am afraid of some of the things I did."

The same thing happened to Zhou Jing when he was a child. His grandfather originally lived in a cave with a row of small glass windows. None of the glass was intact and they were all broken by Zhou Jing. Zhou Jing even connected the flashlight socket and the speaker removed from the radio directly to the socket board. The feeling of having your hands electrocuted by 220V is hard to describe. It was really hard to kill when you were a child.

"Is it that exaggerated?"

Bai Xiyao said with a smile.

Zhou Jing said, "Is it exaggerated to hold the wires of a small speaker like that in both hands and plug it into the power strip?"

"You are such a jerk. When I got home, I asked my sister to seal all the electrical sockets that the children could reach. Has your daughter ever done anything dangerous?"

Bai Xiyao is a science student and knows the power of 220V electricity. She is scared just thinking about it.

"No, I have taken precautions against all potential dangers."

Zhou Jing is a careful person by nature, and he becomes even more thoughtful after becoming a father. He will not let the children at home be in any danger.

"You are more considerate than most girls."

Bai Xiyao had experienced Zhou Jing's meticulousness and was afraid that Gu Jia would smell a different smell. So, she took a shower without using shower gel after having a secret meeting with Chen Jiaqian. This was not something that most people would think of.

Taiwei Semiconductor's annual meeting started at 7pm, and Liu Guangyuan came to pick up the two in person at 7:10pm.

"Please come in, Mr. Zhou and Mr. Bai."

Knowing that Zhou Jing didn't like pomp and circumstance, Liu Guangyuan drove his own car. When he saw Zhou Jing and Bai Xiyao coming out of the hotel, Liu Guangyuan got out of the car and opened the door.
