Please make money.

How can I catch up with them when they are so advanced? I might as well invest...

The only chance to overtake others is to have the support of the relevant industrial chain to ensure at least three subsequent iterations of catching up.

To put it simply, if others don't use your chip, you can use it yourself, and you can ensure that there is profit for subsequent research and development.

The market for advanced processes is high-end and profitable, but the market size is small.

Mature processes, that is, above 45nm today and above 28nm in the next five years, will occupy 75% of the commercial market.

This is also why Mr. Chen was certain that mature technology would be the mainstream and would definitely occupy a larger market share.

Whether it is large household appliances or consumer-grade electronic products, all of them are potential orders for the Ai Group.

Engineer Chen led the team to work on 14nm in a leapfrog manner in order to give Alia a sword in her hand.

Having a sword in your hand and not using it and not having a sword in your hand are two different things.

Alia must ensure deterrence - the technique of overtaking on a curve is this deterrent!

But if Alia wants to fight with others, then she recommends Alia to use the mature 28nm process.

We need to develop advanced technologies, but those are more about technological iterations and accumulation that can be used in the future.

Mature technology is the way to make money and support yourself. You can't do one thing but two.

Alia was also very steady. She didn't act like the client who forced her own engineers to sign a document.

Engineer Chen said that they had completed the 14nm process, so she happily gave out bonuses.

Engineer Chen said that they had mastered 14nm but it was more of a technical reserve. In fact, the technical capability for mass production might only be 28nm. She didn’t feel cheated.

You are a professional, so I believe you.

I'm not good at technology, and you're not good at making money.

The future pursuit of the track will be up to you!

Ignoring President Qian, Alia pulled the R&D team out and squatted outside, muttering to herself for more than half an hour.

President Qian wanted to eavesdrop but didn't dare. He just watched eagerly, and finally saw Alia come in with a gloomy face.

“How much loan can you give?”

"Ten billion!"

"Ten billion is nothing. You said it yourself. The gap is at the level of one hundred billion. Damn, Liu Shouzheng really dares to do that..."

The reason why Handong's pie broke apart was because Xiao Liu's previous actions were too shameless.

This story started two years ago, when Donghuang and Hezhong had a big fight in the field of trade.

Although there has been no movement in the consumer market, there are already signs of a stranglehold on the manufacturing sector.

At that time, Xiao Liu was keenly aware of the huge market in the chip field - wow! Big business!

So he started to get agitated, got excited, and began to plan to make a big move.

Not only did he "invite" back Dr. Chen, who claimed to have participated in the CPU design, he also used his connections to get back a lithography machine.

Then he started bragging that he had mastered the 32nm process technology!

As long as our technology is implemented and the project is in place, producing 30,000 wafers per month is not a dream!

What does it mean to produce 30,000 tablets per month?

The world's two largest advanced process chip foundries are about to undergo a major change and become a three-way competition.

With this big pie, Xiao Liu began to pry open the entire Handong interest chain.

But he only took money from Handong, and the industrial projects were placed in Tianhai.

The reason is very good: Tianhai has the supporting chip industry chain and a 500 billion-level ecosystem behind it. We want to do business!

Even Tianhai believed what he said, and worked hard to connect them, and now the high-tech industrial park is about to be completed.

Even Shouzheng Group has moved some of its manufacturing production lines here, giving people the illusion that it is making efforts.

But in fact, the Guangliang Company, which is in charge of this overall situation in Handong, is just a shell company.

The only link of interests between the absurd initial team and Xiao Liu is the land.

It seems that the risk taken by Handong government is very small. As a small shareholder with 10%, it only injected 2 million yuan in start-up capital.

This is only a small amount in a chip project that often involves investments of tens of billions, and it also appears to be very cautious.

But the problem is that although Guangliang Group, which holds 90% of the shares, showed its willingness to take on the responsibility and promised to invest 18 billion yuan, it is actually an empty shell.

Not only has the money never been actually paid, but funds have been continuously absorbed from various sources.

They claimed to be a major international investment company worth 200 billion US dollars, and they defrauded more than 60 billion yuan from the government alone.

If that were all, it might still be a crude scam, but at this time their layout in Tianhai finally worked.

The return of Dr. Chen and the installation of the lithography machine made Tianhai officials very happy, thinking that it was a sure thing.

With the official endorsement of Tianhai, Guangliang Company made a fortune out of nothing and frantically recruited a team of engineers with an annual salary of one million.

There may not be many frustrated engineers, but they definitely do exist.

Alia does things like paying a premium for talent, and scammers do it even better.

It's even possible that they are not in long-term business at all, they just make the money and run away, so they are even more generous than Alia.

Mr. Chen earns six million a year, but that is the result of many years of work, achievements, and layers of performance audits.

When engineers come to work, as long as they are famous, they will show their resume and get hundreds of thousands of dollars in resettlement allowance without hesitation.

When this team gets together, it's like some godly group called Super Brain. They can't even get into the first three rows when taking group photos without any honors.

As a result, Guangliang Group had a team of more than 400 high-end engineers, and it was extremely successful for a while.

Some people may wonder, since you have such a team, can't you just focus on your business?

But for those who have ulterior motives, this is ultimately a cover to make money.

If anything, they did build a factory.

However, building a factory can also make money, and it is even a common method of transferring funds.

First of all, you can get official or local financial subsidies for building a factory: they think you are starting to do something, so of course they will support you.

Secondly, building a factory requires finding a contractor. In order to ensure the fulfillment of civil engineering tasks, the contractor will pay a deposit of hundreds of millions of yuan.

In other words, building a factory can cheat with both ends and hold with both hands.

Not only did they cheat the supporting officials, but contractors and subcontractors also became the targets of these scammers.

It is even easier to default on debts. When Alia returned to the Ai Group, the Ai Group also defaulted on a large sum of money owed for goods.

In this regard, the bastard Ai Ruhu is in tune with them...

When Alia asked someone to investigate Dr. Chen, Tianhai actually also felt that something was wrong.

But earlier, the officials in Handong helped Xiao Liu to cover up the matter, so it was difficult to figure out the details at the moment.

How to figure it out? Local chip manufacturing projects are meant to meet challenges head-on. You say it is evidence, but others say it is because the difficulties have not yet been resolved.

The chip manufacturing process is complicated, and if a project fails, there are always reasons to justify it.

It is difficult to say whether this is because the investors did not have sufficient funds, there was too much intervention from local officials, or the technology and equipment simply could not catch up.

If they fail, they say it's a scam. Then if Alia also fails, then Alia is also a scammer?

This is why bosses of Huo's level don't take part in person. He knows that if he really doesn't understand these things, he will inevitably fail and he will be powerless.

He had been watching Alia's case for more than half a year and was convinced that there was a chance, so he gave his full support.

As for Xiao Liu, his plan was not so clumsy as to just collect the money and run away.

He also set his sights on Alia's research institute and the land under construction in the south of the city.

According to his thinking, he should take advantage of the current situation and take over three companies in one go.

If you eat too much, even if you vomit out most of it, there will still be some left, and you can even pick yourself out.

You see, I am also engaged in technology. I first engaged in trade and then in technology. I have this intention.

But he didn't expect to hit Alia's iron wall again and again, and was beaten to a bloody mess by the protagonist's passive skill shield.

After dealing with Handong's secretarial gang, the authorities entered Shouzheng Group and began to check the accounts. It took a long time before the results were announced.

The result was that before the Chinese New Year was even over, Shouzheng Group exploded like a punctured balloon.

Guangliang Group, a shell company closely related to Shouzheng Group, has also come under investigation.

They raised more than 150 billion yuan from this project and built a framework claiming to have 1200 billion yuan, but there was nothing in it, it was empty.

Engineers earn hundreds of thousands of dollars a month, and even if they know there is something fishy going on, or even that they are "not doing their job properly," they still work diligently.

After all, for them, work is work, and the content of the work is not limited to writing PPTs or doing chip research.

With a monthly salary of hundreds of thousands, isn't it the boss who has the final say on what to do?

But the leaders don’t think so, especially the one who had a falling out with Guangliang Group before.

Shang Yi, known as the industry's big daddy, was the first industry leader to be "tricked" into joining the company and became the CEO and chief engineer.

The Guangliang Group's board of directors asked the management, including CEO Mr. Shang, to prepare development plans for each department.

The topic was very broad and each person had to write a report as thick as a phone book and report to the board of directors.

But this work is obviously a sleight of hand, used on the one hand to deceive the outside world, and on the other hand to stabilize the engineering team.

Look, I have also arranged for you what to do specifically, so you should take care of this first.

Later, Shang Gong got angry and cursed the board of directors, saying that he was not paid to write these time-wasting bullshit.

After the insect-like contradictions between idealists and realists intensified, Shang Gong left with a team of engineers who had come for his name.

This departure completely crushed the entire scam, or in other words, Guangliang Group felt that it had someone to take the blame.

However, they did not expect that when they were about to succeed in smoothing things over, Shouzheng Group ran into problems instead.

Under the involvement of Shouzheng Group, Handong officials revealed the fact that their capital chain was broken.

The inspection team that had just moved into Shouzheng Group had to allocate a group of personnel to handle the matters here.

Tianhai is anxious for Ailia to take over, and there is another factor that is difficult to explain.

That means the top one is also angry...

The official said that for such unfinished projects, whoever supports them will be responsible.

Those who cause major losses or trigger major risks will be held accountable - you'd better weigh the risks before doing anything yourself!

Tianhai officials are at a loss. What can they do as victims?

Alia! Alia, save me!

Don't you want to do big business? See if you can use this framework! I will support you and help you build it up!

It is not entirely true to say that Tianhai officials are being stubborn or taking shortcuts. They still insist on the general direction of supporting chips.

The fact that there is a bubble in the chip project does not mean that the decision to make chips is wrong.

Just like another world line, the development history of photovoltaics and new energy vehicles may be worth learning from for the current chip industry.

During the era of policy subsidies for those two industries, while stimulating rapid expansion of the industries, they also became areas hardest hit by subsidy fraud.

However, with the intensive introduction of regulations, the bubble has gradually been cleared, and domestic companies have remained at the forefront of the world from materials to equipment.

The photovoltaic industry occupies a leading position, and the shipment volume of new energy vehicles has also ranked first in the world, with obvious advantages.

Tianhai officials made a wrong choice once, but they think they will make the right choice this time.

Draw a card - My turn - Special Summon! Alia!

Great, the winning formula is complete! Then place your bets hard! Increase the stakes hard!

Aaliya says baa, pause for a minute.

"If you want me to take over, you can bring Shang Gong back to me."

"…The engineer Shang from Guangliang Company?"

"Bah - are they worthy? Shang Gong, the industry's big daddy!"

Can it be pulled over? It's hard to say...
