"What?
You rejected the request of the Northeast Optical Machinery Institute to increase R&D funding?
I said, Fan Dong, the other party's request is reasonable, and my people have also gone to the scene to investigate, and the other party has not exaggerated or made up excuses!
”This morning, Xiao Bai received a call from Fan Donglin.The other party told him that after the company's research, he rejected the request of the Northeast Institute of Optics and Mechanics to increase the R&D funds for the objective lens project.This made Xiao Bai feel incredible."
Do you think I'm willing to hold on to my funds and be a miser?
Mr.
Xiao, the budget of our entire project is fixed, and today we have increased the research funds for the Northeast Institute of Optics and Mechanics, so what about other units that will put forward the same requirements in the future?
This incident actually made us very distressed, and we met and discussed it repeatedly, and finally everyone found that unless it was to increase the overall budget of the project, there was no way to agree. ”Fan Donglin is not making excuses, but now the EUV lithography machine project has just entered the research and development stage of pre-technology.If the budget is greatly exceeded at this time, the subsequent research and development work of this project will be greatly affected.The various sub-projects of the project have been evaluated in detail in advance, and now the Northeast Optics and Mechanics Institute is asking for an increase in R&D funds, which is actually tantamount to a big problem for Fan Donglin.After listening to this, Xiao Bai didn't speak for a long time.When he arrived here, he realized that he had walked into a misunderstanding, Pudong Microelectronics is not any company under the Times Department, and its operation mode is completely different.The core enterprise under the Times Department has Xiao Bai's support, and so far, the problem of capital has never become a real problem.Just like the Times Science and Technology Research Institute, Zhou Siyi only considers whether it is necessary for the project, and does not need to consider whether the R&D funds are enough.If it wasn't enough, he called a report and asked Xiao Bai for it, and Xiao Bai never let him down.However, Pudong microelectronics is different.Although the EUV lithography machine project has received support from all sides, the project budget is fixed.With so many scientific research institutes undertaking research on several sub-projects, according to the current R&D funds, there is not enough money at hand.Fan Donglin had to act in strict accordance with the budget, and if everyone broke through the budget at every turn, he would cry without tears.After all, not everyone can be like Xiao Bai, with a huge amount of cash in their hands."
Fan Dong, I'm sorry, I didn't think it through.You can follow the charter on this matter, and I will not easily express my opinion in the future. ”After figuring out all the joints in this, Xiao Bai had to apologize."
Look at what you said, of course you Xiao Dong have the right to express your opinions, and you don't need to apologize no matter what.To be honest, I also tend to add some funds to the Northeast Institute of Optics and Machinery, but the reality makes me very helpless.In this way, I still have a little flexible resources in my hands, and I will find a way to subsidize the optical machine in the future.If there is more, there is really no way, I hope Xiao Dong will not be surprised. ”Fan Donglin can understand Xiao Bai's feelings, in fact, everyone is full of expectations for this project.But reality is reality, and he can only think long-term.However, he didn't want to be estranged from Xiao Bai for such a thing.So Fan Donglin gritted his teeth and agreed to allocate a part of the funds to the Northeast Institute of Optics and Machinery, which may be different from the other party's requirements, but they can solve some problems.He thought that after the overall R&D funds of the project increased, this part of the funding gap must be filled by the Institute of Optics and Machinery."
That's okay, Fan Dong, you're busy, I'll contact you later."
Xiao Bai didn't say anything, and quickly hung up.Subsequently, he sat in the office and reflected, feeling that although he said it soundly, he was actually a little anxious in his heart.Now that the advanced process is getting closer and closer to the 7N node, the EUV lithography machine has become an obstacle to the technological progress of domestic IC manufacturing enterprises, and he always has a sense of urgency to seize the day.The increase in funds requested by the Northeast Optical Machinery Institute is only a trivial matter.Whether Fan Donglin agrees or not, it will not have a big impact on R&D work.At this point, the opposing unit has a number, and Fan Donglin also has a number.Xiao Bai felt that he shouldn't put pressure on Fan Donglin today.Thinking of this, he put the matter behind him, calmed down and began to deal with official business.Following.Xiao Bai made an appointment with Zhou Siyi in the office."
Dean Zhou, how is the cooperation project between the Institute and the Northeast Institute of Optics and Mechanics going?"
The topic started with the cooperation project between the Times Science and Technology Research Institute and the Northeast Institute of Optics and Mechanics, which has nothing to do with EUV lithography machines."
The cooperation project is going well, why do you ask?"
Zhou Siyi was a little strange, he had only reported this matter to Xiao Bai two days ago, could it be that there were any variables in it that he didn't know?
Xiao Bai then sighed and said about the increase in R&D funds required by Northeast Optical Machinery.After hearing this, Zhou Siyi suddenly laughed: "Dong Xiao, you don't have a comprehensive grasp of the situation."
Is there an increase in the cost of the increase in the cost of the patented technology?
”After receiving Xiao Bai's affirmative answer, he continued: "Yes, this technology is very helpful for the development of the objective lens system of the EUV lithography machine, but this technology is not only applied to this aspect, but is also important for several of their R&D projects.Therefore, the Institute of Optics and Mechanics just doesn't make it clear, and it is really inappropriate for Fan Dong to increase R&D funds according to their requirements. ”After Xiao Bai heard Zhou Siyi's words, he almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.Tong Wanqing and Han Mei went to the optical machine institute to verify this matter, but it is sometimes difficult to understand technical things.If it weren't for Zhou Siyi, a big coffee, who lifted the fog, Xiao Bai and the others would still be confused.It's just that there is really no reason to blame the other party in this matter.The other party's reasons are very good, and there is no place for fraud.This patented technology is indeed important for the research and development of the project, but the application scenarios are not only in this aspect."
Forget it, I don't care about it.The Institute of Optics and Mechanics wants to ask for more money, or whatever, as long as they can complete the development of the objective lens system on time. ”Xiao Bai chatted with Zhou Siyi for a while, and his anger subsided.He decided to deal with such problems in the future, and he would hand over the contradictions to both of them.Anyway, my job responsibility is coordination, and there is no need to jump to conclusions.In this regard, Director Feng did a better job."
Xiao Dong, don't worry, there is no shortage of funds.If you don't have any other questions, I'll go back and get busy, and we'll talk when I have time. ”Zhou Siyi had a lot of work and soon left Xiao Bai's office.Month.Xiao Bai, Liu Xiaoling, and Tian Chunxiu took their two children from Xiangjiang and took a business jet to Spain.This time, the family will stay in the local area for about 10 days.However, this time when he went out, Xiao Bai turned on his work phone the whole time.Today, unlike in the past, the Department of Times is under tremendous pressure and may encounter major problems at any time.As a result, he only played in Spain for three days, and Enron chased after him."
Ah Ran, do you want me to be unable to go on vacation?"
Xiao Bai knew that Enron had just held a new product launch conference in Paris, but he didn't chase it from China.But the words still have to be said."
I didn't delay your vacation, did I?
I'm just stopping by to see you and have two drinks with you at the same time, that's fine, right?
”An Ran didn't eat his set, so he just stayed for lunch.Xiao Bai actually didn't mind, his relationship with An Ran was more like a friend than a superior.Therefore, a bottle of red wine was specially opened during the meal."
Ah Ran, no kidding.Actually, if you don't come to me, I plan to return home early.Did you read yesterday's news?
I'm also a little uncomfortable with this. ”Xiao Bai raised his glass, and the two drank the wine in the glass together."
Well, I looked.The boss of a large company crashed a helicopter outside Paris, and it's hard not to pay attention to such a big news.Actually, that's what I mean, you guys can go back after a few days of playing as a family, it's an eventful time now, and it's better to have more than less. ”An Ran said that he was stopping by to see Xiao Bai, but in fact, the purpose of coming here was to persuade Xiao Bai to return to China earlier.He's not a conspiracy theorist, but he also thinks there's nothing wrong with prudence."
Makes sense!
Ah Ran, how is the situation on your side?
”Xiao Bai had a plan in his heart, but he changed the topic lightly."
The situation of Sihai Electronics is okay, Jianjun first ensured the production of 14N processors, and my flagship model has been put on sale, and the sales performance is very good.It is said that T Electric will release the news of the new process later this year.The other party skipped the 10n node and jumped directly to the 7n node, and the pressure in the next two years is not small. ”Enron said that the company's processor chips are mainly supplied by Ruiyi Semiconductor, and some are also purchased from GT.Therefore, Sihai Electronics currently has two main models, one uses the processor of Ruiyi Semiconductor, and the other uses the processor of GT.Other key components, such as RF modules and baseband chips, are basically purchased from Times Communications.The next change may happen a year or two later.At that time, T Electric's 7N process chip will definitely achieve mass production.However, in the era of lack of key equipment (EUV lithography machine), it is difficult for IC Manufacturing Co., Ltd. to keep up with this rhythm.Mobile phone products often use the most advanced process chips first, Times I chips, what about Ruiyi Semiconductor?
Looking for an electrical OEM?
Maybe people won't agree then?
If it wants to survive, Enron can only increase its efforts to purchase GT's processor chips."
You can do this by yourself, I think both Lao Wei and Qi can understand it.It's just that in this way, there is an obvious gap in the closed loop of our industrial chain, and I can't solve this matter in the short term. ”Xiao Bai shook his head and asked An Ran to prepare with both hands.In any case, the survival of the enterprise must be the first priority.Sihai Electronics and Wanwei Technology can be adapted according to the actual situation, which has long formed a consensus.After eating, An Ran left first.He didn't have time to wait for Xiao Bai to return to China together, so he took a civil airline and left.Two days later.Xiao Bai, Liu Xiaoling and others flew to Dubai by business jet.After two days in Dubai, I flew back to the deep city.The first thing I did when I came back was to hold a regular meeting of the decision-making committee to discuss the priorities of the next work of the Department of the Times, as well as the important issues that needed to be solved urgently.After all the agenda was over, Xu Changqing said: "Xiao Dong, I think it is necessary to restrict your travel destinations.Everyone knows what happened a few days ago on the outskirts of Paris.This is also a wake-up call. ”"Yes, Xiao Dong, you can't go to North America and Australia, you have to be cautious in Europe and other parts of the region.If you want to go on vacation, you can go around the surroundings, safety first. ”Qi Yuefeng added that this proposal was supported by everyone.Xiao Bai did not exercise the right of veto, and he felt that everyone's ideas were not exaggerated.This time he went out, his heart was not very steady, and it was better to prevent trouble than to be suspicious."
Well, I accept everyone's advice and will strictly restrain myself.That concludes today's meeting. ”Xiao Bai announced the adjournment of the meeting and returned to the office.After about ten minutes, Xu Changqing, Li Dong and Qi Yuefeng walked in together."
Guys, there's something I didn't say at the meeting, mainly because it's not confirmed.I got the news last night that AUO Microelectronics, AUO Technology, and Times IC Manufacturing (Group) Company are about to be blacklisted.In other words, the core enterprises under our era department have almost been wiped out, and the only fish that has slipped through the net is Xiaolou and them. ”After everyone sat down in the small reception room, Xiao Bai took the initiative to introduce the situation.The source of the news is very reliable, but the other party has not announced it yet, and it is probably within three or five days.As for why Times IC Manufacturing (Beijing) Company escaped, Xiao Bai is not clear.Li Dong sat there and thought about it and said: "I guess that on the surface, the Beijing company looks high or low, and the other party may not know about Mr.
Wei's national production line." ”"I'm afraid that's the only reason!
Xiao Dong, this matter has a great impact, and it will make our closed-loop industrial chain fall apart, which is a headache. ”Xu Changqing rubbed his temples and felt that his blood pressure had risen a little."
I have a headache too, but we all have to hold on.Therefore, after you go back, you must do a good job of pacifying as soon as possible.Now there are signs of fluctuating people's hearts in various enterprises, and they must not be taken lightly. ”Xiao Bai did not announce the matter at the meeting, because he was worried that people's hearts would be unstable.Now you can do the work in advance while the news has not yet been announced.As for the response at the management level, everyone has already planned for a long time, and there is no need to say more.Xu Changqing and others have expressed their stance that they will handle this matter well.Some other core enterprises that are not unaware will be notified by Xiao Bai respectively.Non-core enterprises don't need to be specifically informed, and they will talk about it when the news comes out."
Xiao Dong, we know what to do.Then you are busy, we will go back to deal with this matter now, and we will definitely not let the hearts of the business people fluctuate. ”Xu Changqing and the others immediately got up and immediately went back to the company to do pacification work.
