Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 196 Launch Ascension 910 as soon as possible
Zhang Xiaorou and He Chaoyun were both right, it was Hu Jiangshan, the rich second generation.

Coincidentally, Hu Jiangshan had nothing to do after lunch, so he started visiting tourist attractions.

Although Hu Jiangshan has been to ancient Wuzhen several times, he hasn't been here for several years.

Besides, Hu Jiangshan had been here in his previous life, and this is his first time in this life.

Then Hu Jiangshan’s original body must be allowed to experience it and broaden his horizons.

So Hu Jiangshan walked slowly along the main road of ancient Wuzhen, and somehow he came to the dyeing workshop.

The Dyeing Workshop is a must-see attraction in ancient Wuzhen and is also the most famous.

As soon as Hu Jiangshan appeared, Zhang Xiaorou's face changed, and she was ready to stand in front of Chen Yifei at any time.

Zhang Xiaorou whispered, "Oh no, this is really bad. This rich second-generation guy surnamed Hu really has bad intentions and has even followed us here."

Chen Yifei said calmly: "Xiao Rou, calm down, he probably isn't coming for me."

"How did you know? How could it be such a coincidence?"

"This is a tourist attraction. It's normal for him to come here."

"This……"

Zhang Xiaorou had no way to refute it. Chen Yifei's statement made sense.

But Zhang Xiaorou still watched Hu Jiangshan's every move very vigilantly.

In case this bad guy went crazy, Zhang Xiaorou would quickly pull Chen Yifei away.

However, what shocked Zhang Xiaorou was that He Chaoyun actually walked over and greeted Hu Jiangshan.

He Chaoyun also knows Hu Jiangshan?
But it makes sense if you think about it carefully. Hong Kong Island and Macau are so close to each other, it is very convenient for rich people to communicate with each other.

Children from wealthy families basically belong to the same circle.

However, given He Chaoyun's personality, she shouldn't have any friendship with Hu Jiangshan. At most, they are just nodding acquaintances, a matter of face.

He Chaoyun smiled and said, "Mr. Hu, we meet again."

Hu Jiangshan was startled at first, then smiled and said, "So you're here too."

He Chaoyun actually took the initiative to shake hands with Hu Jiangshan.

This surprised Chen Yifei very much.

Chen Yifei knows He Chaoyun. She is very proud and can take the initiative to shake hands with others, which shows that the other person is someone she respects or respects very much.

No matter how you think about it, this person can't possibly be an uneducated rich second-generation, the number one prodigal son in Hong Kong Island, right?
But He Chaoyun seemed to be very nice to Hu Jiangshan. At least she greeted him with a smile and spoke politely.

He Chaoyun obviously saw that Hu Jiangshan also participated in the ribbon-cutting ceremony, and had a new understanding of his status.

Hu Jiangshan didn't think it mattered. He didn't have much contact with He Chaoyun and the He family.

Of course, it is not a bad thing for Hu Jiangshan to make friends with the He family in Australia City. Maybe he will be able to use this connection someday.

Hu Jiangshan chatted with He Chaoyun for a few words and said, "Then you guys go have fun. I'll go somewhere else first."

He Chaoyun nodded: "Mr. Hu, let's find some time to talk about this later. I have a lot of things I want to ask you."

Hu Jiangshan smiled and said, "I can't say I'm asking for advice, I can just tell you my opinion, we can talk about it when we have a chance."

Having said that, Hu Jiangshan waved his hand and left the dyeing workshop.

Zhang Xiaorou was confused. This didn't make sense. Hu Jiangshan just left like that?
This is so satisfying!
Zhang Xiaorou didn't even know whether Hu Jiangshan had seen Chen Yifei.

Zhang Xiaorou couldn't help but say, "Yifei, you're so lucky that he didn't find you."

Chen Yifei glared at the assistant: "Okay, didn't I tell you, he wasn't coming for me in the first place."

Zhang Xiaorou was speechless for a moment. It seemed that Hu Jiangshan was definitely not here to find Chen Yifei, otherwise he would not have left so soon.

Of course, there is another possibility. Maybe Hu Jiangshan discovered that He Chaoyun was here, so he left tactfully.

He Chaoyun is not an ordinary person. She has a better family background and stronger abilities, and can completely suppress Hu Jiangshan.

At this time, He Chaoyun came back.

He Chaoyun smiled and said, "Yifei, do you know Mr. Hu?"

Chen Yifei said: "We only met once or twice, and we didn't talk much."

When Zhang Xiaorou heard this, she opened her mouth and wanted to say something bad about Hu Jiangshan, but she held back.

What if He Chaoyun has a very good relationship with Hu Jiangshan and says bad things about Hu Jiangshan? That would be asking for trouble and offending others.

He Chaoyun said: "Speaking of which, this Mr. Hu is also very strange. He used to have a very bad reputation, but recently he has gradually become better."

Chen Yifei was stunned: "His reputation has improved? What does that mean?"

He Chaoyun asked: "Do you want to listen?"

Chen Yifei sighed: "If you don't want to say it, forget it. It doesn't matter whether you listen or not."

He Chaoyun laughed, sat down, and said, "Yifei, have you heard that Hu Jiangshan is particularly bad? Is he the number one prodigal son in Hong Kong?"

Chen Yifei nodded.

Zhang Xiaorou agreed: "He is really bad."

He Chaoyun said: "That was in the past. Now Hu Jiangshan is very down-to-earth. We rarely hear bad news about him. He has also done some very remarkable things."

"Hmm? What's the matter?"

He Chaoyun told Chen Yifei how Hu Jiangshan helped Hezhong Group negotiate cooperation and how he made friends with several bigwigs.

Chen Yifei was quite surprised. She didn't expect that Hu Jiangshan would have such a change.

Zhang Xiaorou asked, "Could it be just a rumor, deliberately speaking well of Hu Jiangshan to whitewash him?"

He Chaoyun smiled slightly: "I thought so at first, until I met Hu Jiangshan by chance some time ago and talked to him for a while. I found that he really knows a lot, especially about mainland companies. The suggestions he made are also very pertinent."

Chen Yifei blinked, feeling incredible and unbelievable.

It's really outrageous that He Chaoyun is so capable, yet she admires Hu Jiangshan so much.

In fact, what He Chaoyun said was that she met Hu Jiangshan by chance at the Pak Sha Wan Yacht Club Pier in Hong Kong Island and they chatted for a few minutes.

At that time, Hu Jiangshan gave a lot of advice, which later benefited He Chaoyun a lot and even gave her a lot of say in the He family.

Chen Yifei said: "I didn't expect he had such a skill. Even you are impressed."

He Chaoyun nodded: "To be honest, when I heard him say that, I thought he was just talking nonsense and had no basis for his words. But after investigating, I found that everything he said was very accurate and his judgment was very strong. Our He family later invested in several companies based on his advice."

Chen Yifei's eyes widened. She didn't expect Hu Jiangshan to play such a big role.

"I've never seen such a great person before."

"Of course he does. If Hu Jiangshan didn't have the skills, the organizers wouldn't have allowed him to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony."

At this point, He Chaoyun glanced at Chen Yifei again: "By the way, he is standing next to you, and his position is pretty good."

Chen Yifei said: "You observe very carefully."

"Of course. By the way, do you have anything to do these days? Let's go out and have some fun and relax."

"Wait a few days. I have to go to the crew for a communication meeting tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

"You are such a busy man."

"I've been idle for two years." "That's because you don't want to take on a role."

The next two days will basically be meetings in the morning, free time in the afternoon, and occasional group activities in the evening, which guests can voluntarily participate in.

The organizers’ arrangements are very humane. People won’t feel tired at all. They can also stay in such a beautiful scenic spot like the ancient Wuzhen for two or three days and enjoy the free, relaxed, comfortable and romantic life in the Jiangnan water town. Who doesn’t like it?
Of course, Hu Jiangshan also had unexpected gains.

Director Wang Yuling of the Semiconductor Association introduced two clients to Hu Jiangshan.

They all wanted to buy semiconductor materials, mainly photoresist and high-purity hydrogen chloride.

The bosses of these two companies are also forced into a desperate situation. Now the shortage of materials is becoming more and more serious. They cannot buy enough semiconductor materials even at high prices, so they can only look for substitutes in the country.

With Wang Yuling as the guarantor, the bosses of the two companies are also willing to try the semiconductor materials produced by Hu Jiangshan.

Of course, there would be no problem for Hu Jiangshan, after all, he could make money.

In fact, making money is secondary. Hu Jiangshan's main intention is to help and he doesn't really care about having one or two more clients.

Wang Yuling also knew this, and took even better care of Hu Jiangshan, even treating him as a VIP.

The semiconductor industry summit ended successfully.

In the evening, Hu Jiangshan rested for a while in the hotel room and felt in good spirits. He was thinking about whether to go outside to find a teahouse to drink two pots of tea and eat some southern snacks.

The tea here is really delicious. I'm leaving tomorrow and it would be a shame if I don't drink a few more pots.

Of course, Hu Jiangshan had already bought the tea, all of which were top quality goods, so he could enjoy them slowly when he got back.

As mentioned before, Hu Jiangshan is quite good at making Kung Fu tea, and is definitely not inferior to the tea masters in professional teahouses.

Just then, Hu Jiangshan's cell phone rang.

It turned out that it was Xu Zhijun who called.

Hu Jiangshan answered the phone: "Hello, Mr. Xu, what's going on?"

"We're leaving tomorrow, so come out and chat for a while."

"OK, no problem."

A moment later, Hu Jiangshan met Xu Zhijun in a teahouse by the river.

Hu Jiangshan had been to this teahouse once and had a very good experience with it.

It is especially comfortable to sit near the river, feel the breeze, sip tea, and appreciate the scenery of ancient Wuzhen.

When Hu Jiangshan came here before, it was daytime and it was already very beautiful.

It is now evening, and the streets of ancient Wuzhen are lined with rows of red lanterns.

The night view is so amazing, being here feels like traveling through time.

Hu Jiangshan and Xu Zhijun sat opposite each other and chatted for a few words, then Xu Zhijun lowered his voice.

Obviously, Xu Zhijun was going to get down to business.

"Brother Hu, we have already sent the IC design of the Ascend chip to you, right?"

Hu Jiangshan nodded: "Yes, I have received it."

"How is it? Can we do it?"

Hu Jiangshan said with a smile: "Mr. Xu, the Kirin 990+ has been produced, so there is no pressure for the Ascend 910."

Xu Zhijun breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, let's try to find time to tape out the film."

Hu Jiangshan nodded: "No problem, I will arrange a time for tape-out when I get back."

Xu Zhijun took a sip of tea and asked, "By the way, Brother Hu, if the tape-out is successful, will it be difficult to free up production capacity?"

Xu Zhijun’s words are easy to understand. The chips that Huayao needs now are mainly Kirin 990+, and other chips are secondary.

Therefore, no matter what, it will not affect the production of Kirin 990+.

If it has an impact, I'd rather not have it.

But then again, Ascend 910 is also very important to Huayao.

After all, this is Huayao’s first AI computing chip, and even the first in the world. It is of great significance, and many potential customers are eyeing this chip.

For example, under the suggestion of Hu Jiangshan, Keda Feixun contacted Huayao and was waiting for the samples of Ascend 910 to come out for testing.

Moreover, Hu Jiangshan is an experienced person, and he understands that artificial intelligence will usher in explosive growth in the next few years, and AI computing chips are crucial.

In Hu Jiangshan's previous life, Huayao was unable to produce Ascend 910, which allowed Eagle NVIDIA to take over and become the leader in AI computing chips.

If Huayao is wise now, it should try to push Ascend 910 into the market and then continue to iterate to gain the upper hand.

Hu Jiangshan said with a smile: "Mr. Xu, don't worry, we will try our best to increase the production capacity of World Film."

Xu Zhijun was stunned at first, then asked immediately: "Can it be pulled up? When can it be pulled up?"

Hu Jiangshan thought for a moment and said, "It shouldn't take too long. We need to analyze the specific situation."

Xu Zhijun nodded. He wanted to urge her, but he held back.

Xu Zhijun knew that it was very difficult to increase chip production capacity.

One way is to improve the process yield.

However, improving the yield rate is difficult in itself, especially the yield rate of advanced processes. It is very likely that even after one or two years of hard work, the yield rate will not be improved much.

Another solution is to add more production lines.

This is even harder.

Semiconductor equipment is expensive and has slow delivery times.

For example, the price of a photolithography machine is measured in billions.

Even though the real money was paid to Yasmaier, the order cycle was more than a year. Although I don't know where Hou Jiangshan bought the equipment from, it must not be cheap.

However, what Hu Jiangshan said could generally be realized, so Xu Zhijun still held very high hopes.

If Hu Jiangshan can improve the production capacity, Huayao will have more room for survival in the future and may even be able to revitalize the international market.

Hu Jiangshan chatted with Xu Zhijun about some details.

The two of them didn't know that in the same tea room, there were two people sitting a few tables away, looking over here from time to time.

These two people are a man and a woman. Although they both have Chinese faces, their identities are not simple.

The man's name is Zhao Robin and the woman's name is Zhuang Li.

Both of them are intelligence officers sent by the Lighthouse Country on the other side of the strait, just like Frank and Wu Feng.

Intelligence personnel usually work in groups of two.

If there is a high risk action, one more person will be added as backup.

This summit forum organized by the Semiconductor Association naturally alarmed the Beacon Country. They were very curious about what methods these Chinese could come up with to climb out of the trap.

Zhao Robin and Zhuang Li have been keeping a close eye on several bigwigs since the first day, including Xu Zhijun.

Zhao Robin remained calm and pointed the miniature lens he carried with him at Xu Zhijun and Hu Jiangshan, pressing the shutter from time to time to take photos and videos.
