Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 473 Raising the Boss's Barrier

After listening to the report, Hu Jiangshan talked about other things with several senior executives.

Now it's the end of the year, and the company has some work to finish, and Hu Jiangshan needs to make the final decision.

In addition, next year's semiconductor production plan is also an important issue. As the boss, Hu Jiangshan still needs to give some instructions.

Of course, Jiangshan Group’s semiconductor business has no shortage of customers. Not only do new customers come to it from time to time, but the demand from old customers is also very stable.

Not to mention that the nature of the semiconductor supply chain itself is rather special and the cost of changing suppliers is very high, so downstream companies rarely change suppliers for no reason.

Besides, in cases like Huayao and Yute Times, there is no way to change them. Jiangshan Group is the exclusive supplier and cannot be changed even if you want to.

Therefore, Jiangshan Group does not need to actively look for new customers, it just needs to wait for customers to place orders.

From a certain perspective, Jiangshan Group is a monopoly-type high-tech manufacturing enterprise, just like TSMC in the following years.

However, by this time, TSMC had already risen, receiving a flood of orders and its performance continued to rise. This situation continued for the next few years.

Of course, that was the development path in the previous life. There have been some changes in the middle. I wonder if TSMC will still be as glorious as Hu Jiangshan’s previous life.

TSMC is an open semiconductor supplier, while Jiangshan Group's semiconductor division is in the dark. Even if there is some competition, it will not be too big, at least for now.

Fang Yuchao doesn't talk much and seems very low-key, but when it's his turn to speak, he performs quite well. His thoughts are clear, his logic is self-consistent, his words are concise and to the point, and what he expresses is understandable at once.

This shows that Fang Yuchao can at least meet the job requirements, and Hu Jiangshan has a good impression of him.

Hu Jiangshan was observing Fang Yuchao, who would also evaluate the big boss from time to time.

People like Fang Yuchao are actually quite arrogant. Although they work for others, they will only be convinced and satisfied with their work if their boss is capable.

To be honest, Fang Yuchao was quite surprised by the performance of the big boss Hu Jiangshan.

It is said that Hu Jiangshan is a rich second-generation, but his performance since the meeting does not seem to be that of a rich second-generation at all, at least not the kind of dandy boy as the legend has it.

Anyway, Hu Jiangshan does look young, but he has a maturity and stability that goes beyond his age. His every move in a meeting can hold the whole audience.

It’s not easy. It’s really not easy for a young boss.

But as to how capable Hu Jiangshan is, Fang Yuchao really doesn't think so. Perhaps the real controller of Jiangshan Group is someone else.

At this time, Hu Jiangshan asked: "Do you have anything else to say? Or if there are any problems that cannot be solved, you can also talk about it. Let's work together to solve the problem as soon as possible."

Everyone looked at each other, talked a lot, and whispered.

At this moment, Zhang Rui suddenly thought of something and said to Fang Yuchao, "By the way, Mr. Fang, don't you have some R&D problems that need to be solved?"

"……Ah I?"

Fang Yuchao was stunned, but reacted quickly, thinking that Mr. Zhang might be talking about the difficulties their department had encountered recently in research and development.

But such technical problems have nothing to do with management. Can the boss solve them just by telling them?

This is not very realistic.

Zhang Rui has always been very reliable, how could he make such a mistake?

Even with this in mind, Fang Yuchao still briefly recounted the problem he encountered.

Most of the people attending the meeting were technically savvy and knew that the problem Fang Yuchao's department was facing was indeed not easy to solve and might require long-term research before a solution could be found.

Everyone looked at the big boss. Hu Jiangshan seemed to be lost in thought. No one dared to disturb him, but they felt puzzled.

What is the big boss thinking?

Except for a few senior executives such as Zhang Rui and Du Jiahui, no one else knew Hu Jiangshan's abilities, let alone the vast technical reserves in his mind.

After a moment, Hu Jiangshan said, "The gate breakdown problem you are facing is indeed not easy to solve, and it will become more and more difficult in the future. However, there are still some solutions under the current 5-nanometer equivalent process."

Fang Yuchao was stunned and looked at Hu Jiangshan. He was totally unprepared for what the big boss said.

Except for a few senior executives such as Zhang Rui, everyone else looked at each other in bewilderment.

Does the big boss understand technology?
Zhang Rui knew what others were thinking, and said with a smile: "Some people may not know that the boss is a technical person, and his level is top-notch."

The others widened their eyes in disbelief and disbelief.

It is really hard to accept that Hu Jiangshan actually comes from a technical background.

Hu Jiangshan didn't care much about the reactions of the crowd. To be honest, if you put yourself in their shoes, Hu Jiangshan wouldn't believe it either.

Such a young boss is actually a technician, and his skills are pretty good. He is completely different from others in any way!
At this time, Hu Jiangshan said to Fang Yuchao: "How about this, I will go to your department and tell you the solution, and then you can try it again."

Fang Yuchao came back to his senses and responded quickly.

But Fang Yuchao was still wondering, what's going on? Is the boss serious?

Is there anything more outrageous than this?

After a while, the meeting was over and everyone dispersed, returning to their respective tasks.

Fang Yuchao can't relax because the boss is coming to their department to guide their work.

Of course, with Zhang Rui's company, Fang Yuchao could feel more at ease. Otherwise, no matter how high the air conditioner was turned on, he couldn't stop sweating.

While Hu Jiangshan was in the bathroom, Fang Yuchao couldn't help but whisper to Zhang Rui: "Boss Zhang, does the boss really want to help us solve this problem?"

Zhang Rui smiled: "How can this be fake? Mr. Fang, I know what you are thinking. Don't worry. I told you that the boss's technical ability is quite impressive. Sometimes I have to ask the boss for advice."

“…Ah!? It’s you…”

After hearing this, Fang Yuchao's CPU was about to burn out.

It is hard to accept that someone as capable as Zhang Rui has to ask Hu Jiangshan for advice.

Fang Yuchao didn't have time to be shocked at this moment. Hu Jiangshan had already come over after using the bathroom, and Fang Yuchao hurriedly led the way.

In addition to Zhang Rui, several other relevant technical executives also followed. This was Zhang Rui's instruction so that they could also know the big boss's abilities.

Hu Jiangshan is not just a rich second-generation boss as they think, nor is he just a poseur or a spokesperson. He has strength and means.

A moment later, everyone came to the office of Fang Yuchao's department.

Fang Yuchao's department specializes in chip process research and development, and his work also includes semiconductor design, so he encounters various design problems.

At this time, the employees who were working at their workstations suddenly noticed that the atmosphere was not right. They turned around and were shocked. Zhang Rui, the big boss, suddenly appeared! And several other senior executives of the division.

What happened? Did Mr. Fang break the law?
However, the employees soon discovered that there was another important person, a young handsome man.

This handsome guy is no small figure. In fact, all the executives of the business unit revolve around him, as if he is their superior.

Wang Guangsheng, Xie Mingyu and Su Jing were also present at the scene. They already knew that Hu Jiangshan was the big boss.

At this time, the big boss actually appeared in the department, which made them even more shocked.

What is the big boss going to do? Inspecting the work?
At this time, the department leader Fang Yuchao was seen turning on his computer, seemingly letting the big boss check his work results.

Wang Guangsheng and others began to discuss in low voices in private.

"What does the big boss want to see?"

“It should be the result of this year.”

"I'm so nervous. If the big boss is not satisfied with our department's work, not only will Mr. Fang suffer, but we will be in trouble too."

"Don't talk nonsense. It shouldn't be that serious. We have worked very hard this year and have achieved a lot of results."

At this time, Su Jing couldn't help but say: "The big boss is so handsome, so handsome!"

After hearing this, the others were speechless for a moment. It turned out that girls’ focus was different. They still focused on appearance without any sense of crisis at all.

But then again, the big boss doesn't look like he's here to cause trouble, so it should be work-related.

So Wang Guangsheng, Xie Mingyu, Su Jing and others bravely came to the back of the crowd, wanting to see what Fang Yuchao was showing to the handsome boss.

When everyone saw it, they were stunned. Isn’t that the IC design of the chip?
This picture is very professional. How can a big boss understand this? This is just a joke!

But the amazing thing is that the big boss was really watching it, and he was watching it very seriously. He even sat down at his workstation and started watching it.

Not only that, the boss was also operating the computer, checking the IC design, and using the software fluently, just like a veteran designer.

Of course, this is nothing. The key point is that the big boss seems to have quickly identified the problem and is looking at the details carefully.

"Does the big boss really understand? This isn't just a show, is it?"

"Are you crazy? Keep your voice down, or you'll be doomed if someone hears you!"

"No, he seems to really understand. Isn't that the place we are trying to solve?"

"Yeah, Mr. Fang didn't touch the computer just now, how did the big boss know?"

It can be seen that even Fang Yuchao was very surprised. He was originally planning to help locate it and then let the big boss take a look, but he didn't expect the big boss to find it directly, as if he knew it from the beginning.

Could it be that the big boss knew what the problem was just based on Fang Yuchao's description?
This technique is too powerful! Fang Yuchao didn't even dare to guarantee that he could do it.

But the question is, even if the big boss can really understand IC design, can he really solve the problem?

Fang Yuchao didn't dare to say anything, as disturbing the boss would be a big deal.

Moreover, Zhang Rui acted very calm and seemed to have great confidence in the boss.

Although Zhang Rui said that the boss had very high technical capabilities, it was still a little hard for Fang Yuchao to believe.

Even if the boss is really skilled, how skilled can he be? Can he be better than a technical genius like Zhang Rui?
This is impossible!
At this moment, Hu Jiangshan was seen operating the computer suddenly, as if he was going to adjust and modify the IC design.

Fang Yuchao was shocked, and his first reaction was to not destroy the design, but then he thought, there are backups anyway, so just destroy it. He is the boss, he can do whatever he wants.

At this moment, Fang Yuchao suddenly realized that something was wrong, and the more he looked, the more wrong it seemed.

The big boss was indeed making modifications to the IC design, and he was doing a very good job. The content of the modifications shocked Fang Yuchao, as he had never thought that he could touch that part.

Fang Yuchao has quite a lot of experience. If he thinks about it carefully, if he modifies that detail, it might actually affect the problem that needs to be solved.

The more Fang Yuchao thought about it, the more likely it was to happen, and the more reliable it seemed.

If the correction method is appropriate, maybe the problem can really be solved!

Looking at the big boss again, his movements are very skillful and precise. If he is not a veteran, he can't achieve this level.

The boss's skills are truly acquired through practice. It's hard to imagine how he practiced them. Does he have time to do research or even draw pictures?

Except for a few veteran executives such as Zhang Rui, everyone else was extremely shocked and looked at each other in disbelief. It was unbelievable that the big boss Hu Jiangshan had refreshed their understanding and even their perception of the boss himself.

In the technology industry, there are many bosses with a technical background, but bosses with strong technical capabilities, even surpassing the company's technical director, are really rare.

While everyone was in a trance, Hu Jiangshan had already stopped what he was doing and said, "Okay, check and see if there is any problem."

Fang Yuchao came back to his senses and quickly looked at the modifications. They were so exquisite that he was stunned and speechless.

Of course, Fang Yuchao was already convinced at this point, and quickly said, "Boss, I think this is very feasible. Let's arrange a test right away! Let's see the effect."

Hu Jiangshan nodded, stood up from his office chair, patted Fang Yuchao on the shoulder, and said, "You guys should test it carefully. Of course, there is no need to rush. Just determine the plan before going on vacation."

"Okay, got it, boss."

Hu Jiangshan said a few words to Zhang Rui and then left with his men.

Fang Yuchao sat back at his workstation, carefully studying the revised IC design, muttering to himself, and it was obvious that he was fully immersed in it.

Other employees in the department couldn't help but come over, watching and talking in low voices.

"Wow, it was fixed so quickly, that's amazing!"

"I didn't expect the boss to have such good skills. I was really surprised."

"This is amazing. We have never thought of this method before. How did the boss know about it?"

"I can only say that the big boss is so awesome and has a lot of experience, otherwise how could he become the boss?"

"What you said is true. If all bosses are as good as him, then the threshold for becoming a boss would be too high."

Fang Yuchao said, "Everyone, stop chatting and arrange for a test immediately. I think there's really hope this time!"

Everyone responded and immediately returned to their workstations to prepare to run the testing process.

If this problem can be solved, the employees in the entire department will be relieved and can have a good vacation during the New Year.
