Although many directors did not agree with the project in their hearts, Director Ma and Fan Donglin obviously did their work ahead, and in the end everyone voted in favor.The research and development project of EUV lithography machine of Pudong Microelectronic Equipment Co., Ltd. was launched immediately.The coordination working group of the project was also launched, with Director Feng acting as a liaison between the relevant departments and a coordinator with the research institutes.This time, all parties have made great determination, even if it is a decade of hard work, to break through EUV lithography technology."
Xiao Dong, the burden on my body is not light now, what good ideas do you have?
I'm so sad these days, and I always feel a little bit powerless. ”After the EUV lithography machine project was established, Fan Donglin was busy all day long.The reality of the situation did not allow him to back down, so he took the time to invite Xiao Bai to dinner that night, and he also wanted to have a good chat with the other party and ask some questions."
Fan Dong, although the EUV lithography machine project has been approved, you don't have to use too much force.This project is very difficult, and it is not possible to succeed in three or two years.Therefore, the resources on your side should be gradually invested, and the current focus is still on the 14N lithography machine. ”Xiao Bai and Fan Donglin talked about many of his ideas, and he suggested that the whole project should be cut and divided into several sub-projects.Some pre-technologies, such as extreme ultraviolet light sources and high-definition objective lenses, can be cooperated with top domestic institutions, and even some sub-projects can be handed over to each other to complete.In this way, although a lot of R&D funds need to be allocated, it can also reduce pressure and improve efficiency."
This project can't be completely market-oriented, you have to work closely with the coordination working group.I think the development of this project is a scientific and technological battle, and now, we are already witnessing history. ”In his last life, Xiao Bai was also a supporter of the neoliberal economy.But after two lifetimes, he has completely seen through the essence of Western economics.Its essence is the law of serving a few, and it is still pursued in its bones.Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain that the world's only superpower is now openly undermining the free economy, free trade, and even bothering to cover it up.So, now it's time to jump out of other people's theoretical systems.Xiao Bai felt that at this stage, he should "concentrate on doing big things"."
Yes, if we only rely on the market itself, our company will not be able to complete the research and development of EUV lithography machines.Xiao Dong, what you said today made me wake up like a dream, and I know what to do next. ”Fan Donglin raised his glass and drank a glass of wine with Xiao Bai, and then couldn't help laughing."
Fan Dong, I know you're busy.Otherwise, I will continue to stay in the magic capital in the near future anyway, and I will have more contact with Director Feng recently, and by the way, I will help you straighten out some things. ”Xiao Bai took the initiative to ask Ying to cooperate with Director Feng's work on behalf of Fan Donglin.The work in the early stage of the project is very cumbersome, and Fan Donglin has to keep an eye on the progress of the 14N lithography machine project, and the time is really insufficient."
Xiao Dong, if you are willing to help, it will be great!
My requirements are not high, as long as you break down and implement the various sub-projects, you don't need to work hard anymore. ”It's all your own people, and there's no need to say kind words now.Fan Donglin accepted Xiao Bai's kindness and remembered this favor.Following.Xiao Bai called Director Feng in advance, and then went to the coordination working group.The working group has a dedicated office space, and the office is not located in the city hall, but several offices are rented not far from Pudong Microelectronics."
Director Feng, don't bother, right?"
Xiao Bai's arrival was warmly welcomed by the entire working group.Everyone knows the strength of this big man, and the working group has encountered many difficulties recently, and we all hope that strong people will appear to help solve these problems.And now they see hope."
Xiao Dong, what are you talking about?
Come on, come on, please be seated. ”Director Feng lowered his posture very low, he believed that the other party could not come here for no reason, so he wanted to hear what he had to say first."
Director Feng, I've been relatively idle lately, and as a result, I let Fan Dong catch the tolerance.For the time being, I will act as the representative of Mr.
Fan, and I will coordinate the preliminary work of the project with you. ”Xiao Bai was not verbose, and after sitting down, he directly explained his intention."
That's great!
Xiao Dong, to tell you the truth, our work is not going well.The contact with the relevant departments is fine, but the contact with the major scientific research institutes ........"
Director Feng didn't finish his words, Xiao Bai already knew what he wanted to express.It's nothing more than the top scientific research institutes in China, which don't buy his account much.People don't buy it, and he, the deputy leader of the coordination working group, really doesn't have any good way."
Director Feng, why don't we go out for a walk together?
Now we are begging people, and it is not sincere enough to just call them, so it is better to visit them in person. ”Xiao Bai didn't answer Director Feng's words, and the scientific research institutes did not cooperate, there were various reasons, but the most important one was definitely the lack of effective communication.Therefore, he suggested going to the major scientific research institutes to have a look and strengthen ties with them.Director Feng suddenly showed a happy look, but then his face turned ugly."
Dong Xiao, your idea is very good, the problem is that I need to contact the relevant departments more recently, and I really can't leave.Otherwise, how about I let a very capable comrade of the working group accompany you?
”Xiao Bai's idea is too ordinary, if you want to cooperate with others, you also need the cooperation of others, and it is right to visit in person.As the deputy leader of the working group, how could Director Feng not understand this truth?
The reason why he hasn't done this is probably that he still wants to rely on the relevant departments, after all, his own weight is somewhat insufficient.Now that Xiao Bai, the big guy, is willing to come forward, Director Feng naturally can't ask for it.However, in this way, Director Feng is not good to go with Xiao Bai, and going together is not conducive to his next step.So, he decided to arrange for one of his subordinates to follow Xiao Bai for a spin.Regarding Director Feng's careful thinking, Xiao Baidong watched the fire, but he didn't care either.He just said this to Director Feng, just to say hello, so as not to have any thoughts from the other party."
Okay, the liaison with the relevant departments is equally important, let's go our separate ways."
Xiao Bai smiled and nodded in agreement, and Director Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.Immediately, he called a female comrade from the working group."
Dong Xiao, this is Han Mei from our working group, she has a strong work ability, let her accompany you to go around the major scientific research institutes, okay?"
Director Feng introduced Han Mei to Xiao Bai.Xiao Bai noticed that Han Mei was about thirty years old, and she looked shrewd and capable, which was also eye-catching."
I don't have a problem with that, so let's arrange it.I plan to leave the day after tomorrow, and I'll let you know when I get back to that. ”Xiao Bai has nothing to do, this time he went to major scientific research institutes, just to investigate in the name of the working group, and anyone can accompany him."
Dong Xiao, please take care of this trip!"
Han Mei didn't say much, and left Director Feng's office with a polite word.Two days later.Xiao Bai and Zhou Siyi, who rushed to the magic capital in advance, as well as Han Mei and others, began this expedition.Their first stop was C Chun, and the goal was C Chunguang Machinery Institute.This time, Xiao Bai planned to listen to the demands of various units.Although this project research and development is equivalent to a science and technology conference battle, specific to each unit, everyone's ideas and subjective motivation are different.In order to fully motivate everyone, it is important to understand what everyone thinks.Within the scope of conditions, it is still necessary to try to meet some of the needs of the other party.First of all, we should not be too harsh on the budget, after all, the situation in this year is different from that of earlier years.When Xiao Bai transferred a few units, he found that neither Fan Donglin nor Director Feng had made it clear to others.People may not do this for profit, but they still have to know it in their own hearts.Every time Xiao Bai went to a unit, he made it clear to others that the funds for joint research were sufficient, and they could be fully allocated.Secondly, it also clarifies the ownership of technology patents and academic achievements, and the favorable conditions are more inclined to scientific research units.Along the way, Xiao Bai and Fan Donglin and others have maintained close communication.All the conditions for going out have been recognized by Fan Donglin.At the same time, Zhou Siyi also signed an agreement of intent with these units on behalf of the Times Science and Technology Research Institute, and will strengthen the cooperation between the two sides in the future.This circle lasted more than half a month.When Xiao Bai, Zhou Siyi, and Han Mei returned to the magic capital, Director Feng struck while the iron was hot and held the first coordination meeting since the establishment of the working group.Because Xiao Bai has established a good relationship with major scientific research institutes this time, and the relevant departments have also done a lot of work behind the scenes, this meeting was very successful.Basically, all units sent people who could manage things to attend the meeting, and many problems were resolved at the meeting, avoiding prevarication."
Xiao Dong, this Director Feng is a master.If you look at other people, they can pick peaches a lot, and they don't have to come forward, and their results will be smashed. ”Tong Wanqing followed Xiao Bai throughout the whole process, and under the cold watch, she had some opinions about Director Feng, and when she saw an opportunity, she expressed her dissatisfaction to Xiao Bai."
Xiao Tong, it's unfair for you to say that!
Do I need the peaches you said?
Only Director Feng needs results, I don't, what I need is the orderly progress of the project.Although the other party is a little more utilitarian, he always wants to make achievements, and in this regard, I have no conflict of principles with him. ”Xiao Bai was in a good mood today, so he said a few more words to Tong Wanqing.In his opinion, Director Feng has done a lot of work.Xiao Bai doesn't need those vain things, and he is willing to pave the way for the smooth implementation of the project.Coordination meetings like this one were held very well, even exceeding Xiao Bai's expectations."
Well, I see!"
Tong Wanqing listened to Xiao Bai's words, and responded thoughtfully.She found that she could learn a lot of things by following Xiao Bai, and it was precisely these things that she couldn't learn from books."
Alright, you go and get your hands dirty.When you have time to go back, you can have more contact with Han Mei.The other party has a strong work ability, social skills are more prominent, there are many things in the future, you can directly find her, she is a practical person. ”Xiao Bai immediately sent Tong Wanqing out.On this trip, Xiao Bai was busy discussing various issues with Zhou Siyi.Unexpectedly, Tong Wanqing and Han Mei got along very well, and the two soon became friends.There is Han Mei in the coordination working group, and many technical questions can be found with her.Next, the EUV lithography machine project was officially launched.Although it was tough, it was finally a substantial step to sell.Together with the subsidy, the project start-up capital is 10 billion yuan.There will be more R&D investment in the future, and the total investment in the project is likely to exceed 100 billion yuan.Fortunately, these funds have been invested year by year, and Fan Donglin has not been crushed by the problem of funds."
Fan Dong, now that everything is on track, I should go back too.The next step on your side is to focus on breaking through the 14N lithography machine, which is more urgent in comparison. ”Before Xiao Bai left the magic capital, he met with Fan Donglin.In fact, there is no need for him to advise, Fan Donglin is now devoting most of his energy to the research and development of 14N lithography machine.The EUV lithography machine is not so fast, and now the cooperative unit is tackling the pre-technology research.Fan Donglin only needs to provide funds, and in the short term, he still needs to conquer the 14N lithography machine as soon as possible.The third day back in the deep city.Xiao Bai received a call from Wei Xiaolou in the office."
Xiao Dong, I have good news for you.After our testing and technical advice, the 28N lithography machine of Pudong Microelectronics is becoming more and more mature.I am going to build another IC production line for beautification, and the output of the 28N lithography machine on Fan Dong's side has also been raised, and the equipment is no longer a problem. ”After receiving the notice on the phone, Wei Xiaolou said a lot in one breath.There is only one central meaning, the 28N lithography machine of Pudong Microelectronics has been improved, and it is now very useful.He plans to build another 28N chip production line to expand this part of the production capacity to the extreme."
Well, the IC production line dominated by localization is very important to us, and I am in favor of continuing to expand production capacity.By the way, Xiaolou, have you read the latest issue of the business compilation?
Recently, the foundry fee of T Electric in the 28N process has been lowered again, and people are trying to force us to death with the price. ”Xiao Bai agreed with Wei Xiaolou's expansion plan.Recently, there has been a new trend on the T side, and the other party has jumped directly to the 7N process after realizing the mass production of the 14N process.It is said that a key breakthrough has been made in the research and development of 7N's manufacturing process.With the profit guarantee of the advanced process, T Electric intends to compress the profit margin of the 28N process process.Due to the first-mover advantage of the other party, this makes it difficult for other IC manufacturers who mainly rely on the 28N process as their main source of profit.Comparatively speaking, Wei Xiaolou will be more impacted.
