Please make money.

Shang Gong squatted down with a rather unfamiliar look: "That way, we can catch up."

"You're wrong. Let's play it safe and make sure the process is mature. I have a large number of products on hand that can handle the shipment of this process."

Alia wrote a number: 40

That’s right, it’s neither 28nm nor the 14nm technology reserve that Mr. Chen has used to overtake others.

But it is 40nm, which is a generation behind - even in another world line, in the real technological context of 2022.

In the chip market, mature processes of 40nm and above still account for more than 70% of application scenarios in the entire chip market.

They are widely used in the fields of Internet of Things, smart home, automotive electronics, communications, medical care, intelligent transportation, aerospace, etc. and are not outdated.

"We will first take 40 and then do 28, which will stabilize these two processes. We can at least ensure the capacity utilization rate instead of idling."

"I have no objection to the technical aspect." Shang Gong nodded, indicating that he could do it.

Corporate development strategies and the like are not decided by engineers. They just do whatever Alia says.

It is much better for engineers if their boss can have a plan in mind than if they rush to meet deadlines without a clue...

"If the 12-inch wafers can absorb the 28nm production, I will introduce you to a brother department that should be able to absorb all the production."

Alia wrote and drew something, which made Shang Gong raise his eyebrows, but then Alia erased it.

Where is the 28nm chip most suitable for use at present?

The answer is display panel driver - from mobile phones, tablets and notebooks to monitors and TVs, large image sensors and LED driver chips.

When everyone, even Boss Huo and the others thought that Alia's high-tech industrial park would attack alone, Alia was putting her cards together.

I use the high-tech industrial park to support my monitor panel factory, and then integrate the monitor into the 500 billion industrial chain behind it.

Damn it, if this can’t even meet the production capacity, then it’s not our problem.

"According to the first phase estimate, how long will it take to ship products with a yield rate of more than 50%? I don't want 28nm, 40nm will do."

"Normally it would take at least 13 months, but the factory building has already been capped, and all the production facilities only need to be adjusted before they can be used, so the time can be shortened by half... six months - no, five months! As long as the funds are stable, I can provide you with at least 20 12-inch wafers in five months."

One hundred billion, five months, and a complete pre-construction factory, in exchange for 20 40nm 12-inch wafers. What kind of ultimate sucker is this?

Shang Gong even blushed after saying this. Doesn't it seem that he is really incompetent?

But there is no way, this is the difficulty of creating something from nothing.

Alia threw away the branch, feeling somewhat relieved. "I thought it would take a year. Five months will still allow us to catch up with the next generation of products. I will then try to integrate some carriers and test the effects... Okay, that's about it. You guys take a break for two days, walk around and get familiar with the place. Tell me when you can start work."

"Today will do!"

"What are you doing? I just came here and haven't even put my luggage away yet."

Alia said as she handed a card to Shang Gong: "Here, this is for you."

“…What is this?”

"I have signed a contract with Tianhai Airport. There will be charter flights between Tianhai and the island province every weekend. Your subordinates can go back to rest or visit their families on weekends. If there is any emergency at other times, take this card to the airport. My private plane is there and is on standby 7 hours a day, 24 days a week."

This is Alia’s membership card at Tianhai Airport. We have been told that they only recognize cards and not people, so just swipe the card and leave.

Shang Gong hesitated: "We can endure hardships... There is no need. I think these treatments are a bit too good..."

“Do you think you are treated well?”

"Of course it's good! And you pretend it's like I'm treated like an ordinary employee."

Shang Gong muttered about the previous work meal, saying that excessive modesty was just showing off, blah blah blah...

Alia laughed: "Shang Gong, I am very happy that you feel that the treatment is good, but if you think that it is just special treatment for you, then I will think it is my own problem. The only special treatment I give you is the chartered plane to visit relatives, but that is also because of the cross-sea transportation problem. If there is a high-speed rail direct connection, I will not ask so much."

"Do other employees also have other benefits?"

"Also."

"Really? I don't believe it!"

"Then you can go and see for yourself." Alia held out her hand: "How about joining the Ai Group and seeing for yourself whether it's true or not?"

"…Should I call you Boss? Or BOSS? Or Mr. Ai?"

"If you don't mind, you can call me Miss. People call me that, and I'm used to it."

"Okay, miss, I'll go and see it myself. If our treatment is too special, I don't think it's necessary. We are here to work, not to enjoy life."

"Working hard is to enjoy a better life. There is no conflict. I have always been committed to making my employees happier. I am still searching for ways to do so. If these benefits can increase your motivation by even one tenth, it will be worth it."

Alia has always been against glorifying suffering. It is true that suffering can temper people, but suffering itself is not worthy of praise.

Hard work is a virtue and a process, but it should never be a goal.

It is reasonable to work hard to gain more resources, social respect and better living conditions.

If one day, Alia needs her employees to work hard and struggle, it is only possible that when everyone faces real difficulties, she will be at the forefront - in the end, everyone will defeat the opponent together, welcome victory, and then become better.

If it wasn't for these reasons, and she simply wanted to "save costs" or something, then she deserved to be hanged.

“I hope that one day my employees will work for self-actualization and to create a brave new world.”

Alia shook his hand and said, "Let us work towards this childish dream - welcome to the Ai Group, Director Shang."

"..."

455-Yaya denounces financial magic

The Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month was already yesterday evening.

The party was wonderful, the lanterns were beautiful, and it was a happy New Year.

Disasters cannot defeat Donghuang, but what cannot defeat Donghuang will eventually make it stronger.

Donghuang has launched a series of new infrastructure plans for the new year, including full emergency plans to prevent snow disasters.

I heard that Donghuang Power Grid - the giant with annual revenue of 3 trillion yuan - is preparing to upgrade its infrastructure across the board.

As for the corresponding, the hardware of the railway system will be upgraded, and various line patrol equipment will also be added.

Alia had already received an order of 40 billion, but last night she was suddenly informed of an additional order of about 20 billion.

You have to know that at that time Alia was wearing her little dinosaur pajamas and was about to go to bed after drinking hot milk, when suddenly she received a phone call about something important.

No, 20 billion was given directly like this?

Yes, Alia knew that on the one hand, the government was supporting her in making chips, and on the other hand, it was an urgent need for the upgrade of the Big Three.

People were actually quite anxious about the snowstorm, so they waited until the 16th to tell Alia about it, which was considered respecting the weird holiday arrangement of the Ai Group. But is it possible that at one o'clock in the morning of the 16th, it is still within the range of the 15th for human work and rest?

It's impossible for me to create something out of thin air if I talk about things in the middle of the night!

The current production line is already overwhelmed and adjustments need to be made after full resumption of work.

There was no other way, Alia could only make the employees suffer, and she would pay for the overtime pay...

On the 16th day of the first lunar month, even the sleep-deprived Ai Group started working across the board and resumed production.

Alia, wearing a sea otter-shaped doll costume, handed out red envelopes at the door of the group's headquarters to thank employees for coming to work.

There are many kinds of doll costumes. Alia drew one at random. She was lucky at least she didn't draw the erhu egg.

Lele, who was wearing a koi doll costume, jumped up and down next to him: "Why am I wearing this? Where's Qi Qiqi?"

"Her supervisor called her over and said that some material she dumped into the trash can had a distinct sulfide smell and might be able to publish some important papers. He asked her to go back and figure out the process and the cause, which could be considered as overtime work."

Ai Group now has a size of nearly 7 billion, but it only has 23 level senior core technology engineers.

Qibao was able to break into this group by sheer luck, and he's a materials scientist, so it's hard to say he's not lucky.

But if it's open and not turned off, then Alia will also be punished, so let's just pretend nothing happened.

Alia was afraid that if she stood with her for too long, there would be an ecological backlash, so she pointed out the room-temperature superconductivity in the next second.

Sunika, who was waiting in line, came over reluctantly: "Hello, Miss."

"Good morning, what's wrong? Didn't you get enough sleep?" Alia handed her the red envelope and said, "Did you encounter any unhappy things during the Chinese New Year?"

"Everything is fine. I am having a happy New Year. I am only two numbers away from the Koi Grand Prize... Mainly because I lost my phone."

"lost?"

"Well, I dropped it when I was on the subway."

"Is anti-theft mode not on?"

"It's open, but it's hard to find it back, right? The data is in there, and I need it for work... Oh, I have to go to work first."

There are people behind the queue, and Sunika can't just stand there and complain.

She just felt that she was unlucky and didn't blame anyone, but this kind of thing really affected her work state.

Arya touched her chin - nothing, her short doll-suit hand - and felt around in the air, lost in thought.

When a mobile phone is lost, compared to the loss of hardware, the loss of data is what really makes people uncomfortable in their subsequent life and work.

So is there any way to solve this problem?

Isn't this nonsense? Cloud storage is a ready-made solution, and you can choose it with your feet.

The big data center is a plan that the Ai Group itself must make.

The era of smartphones is different now. The amount of data is huge. Although there are services such as streaming media, the amount of data itself is not small.

This is no longer the era when Nokia and Motorola shipped 100 million feature phones and people were willing to buy them regardless of their location.

But the problem is that the cost is too high, and construction has not started yet - the construction cost of that thing is tens of thousands per square meter.

If the Ai Group wants to do it, it won’t be that small and cute computer room in the movies where anyone can go in and look for hard drives.

But it is a large IDC, so large that it requires an investment of nearly 10 billion.

Don’t think it’s expensive. The server is a delicate thing. If it’s not used properly, it will crash in minutes.

If it's too hot, it will freeze. If it's too cold, it will be damaged. If the power is not enough, the load cannot keep up and it will break down. If the power is too high, it will be unstable and there will be surges that will cause sparks.

Therefore, it needs to be equipped with air conditioning, dehumidification equipment, a special backup power emergency function, and someone must be on duty around the clock to prevent the machine spirit from being unhappy.

Let’s put it this way, the only things more delicate than it are the bacterial colonies in the culture medium in the laboratory.

Something that can thrive in your refrigerator at home can die in front of you when you walk into a laboratory with your left foot first.

It’s not like Alia doesn’t have 10 billion. She could probably take it out if she gritted her teeth and squeezed it, but where is it?

You have to choose a place without earthquakes, typhoons, common natural disasters such as floods and mudslides, and also with low land costs and complete additional facilities.

Smacking her lips, Alia asked Lele to make a note of this and turned around to continue distributing red envelopes to the employees.

Let’s dig a hole first. Anyway, you won’t feel itchy if you have too many holes, and you won’t worry about having too many debts.

"Good luck in starting the work."

"thanks everyone."

“Please give me your guidance in the new year.”

"Good morning, good morning... No, what do you mean by queuing twice? It's just a good start to the work red envelope, there's no need. Twins? Oh, sorry, sorry, I remember now, they are indeed twins."

After being busy for a whole morning, Lele was shocked to discover a problem.

Alia can remember the names of almost all the employees at the Ai Group headquarters!

Not to mention her, even the employees themselves were dumbfounded. They didn't expect that the boss knew them.

Alia thought it was normal. After handing out the red envelopes, she put her hands on her hips and said, "Ah, this is only suitable for winter. It will be too hot in summer."

"In the summer, you can use the ones with a small fan inside."

"Yeah... we'll talk about it later. Then we can go sell the little frogs."

Alia took off her doll costume and returned to the office on the top floor. Prime Minister Lei had been waiting for her for a long time.

If we really compare them, Prime Minister Lei who takes his work seriously is more like the big boss of the Ai Group.

This little cutie like Alia is just a customer service intern and the group's mascot.

In fact, the full name of Alia’s blog is indeed "Customer Service No. 9527·Xiao Ai Classmate".

"Good morning."

"It's noon, and we'll be off work in five minutes." Prime Minister Lei said without even looking up: "If it weren't for the fact that I wanted to take your red envelope for good luck on the first day of work, I don't know how many people would be queuing at the door today, even if they were late or even absent from work... Come, Miss, take a look at this."
