Zhou Xin stopped for a moment in front of the red flag that came to pick him up, looked up at the gloomy sky, then walked into the car and closed his eyes to carefully take stock of this harvest.
When Zhou Xin left, the other party gave him his personal contact information and said he could contact him at any time if there was anything important.
If it's not that important, but he can't handle it on his own, he can contact Director Zeng.
Director Zeng plays a listening and implementing role at today's meeting, but outside, he is also a big boss.
Zhou Xin also knows that the policy support and social resources provided by the other party this time are a huge force, and he can even directly provide opinions on the Chinese semiconductor support policy to be launched in the future.
This time he is equivalent to using his past achievements, credit and future promises to advance his current power.
Power here can also be seen as resources.
If he cannot fulfill his current promise in the future, although there will be no serious consequences, it will be difficult to obtain similar support.
Power and responsibility are equated, and there is never power without reason.
As long as he can do things well, Zhou Xin believes that this will not be his first time here, and there will be many opportunities to come here in the future.
The more opportunities he gets here, the more he can do.
At the same time, he has no worries about the Hanxin incident. At his current level, things like Hanxin will never happen again.
When Hanxin No. 1 was launched, Zhou Xin could directly overturn the situation.
Even the capital management and control system of state-owned enterprises has been launched. Compared with the twists and turns in the state-owned enterprise system of China, Hanxin can only be regarded as childish.
Zhou Xin later saw a statement from some self-media, which roughly means that Hanxin stole Motorola's technology. If these people are given a little more time, they can copy Motorola's chips.
The problem is that it took five years from Chen Jin's return to China to the revelation of Hanxin No. 5. He has not reproduced it, and his manufacturing methods are very shoddy.
Zhou Xin and Liang Mengsong also placed their hope in obtaining the technology transferred by Samsung through less legitimate means. After the establishment of SMIC, when they were doing chip foundry, they also poached a large number of TSMC engineers and used TSMC's unauthorized technology.
This is a relatively common method in the business world. It is unethical, but it is a last resort for latecomers in the process of catching up. Hanxin has been criticized for deception.
Zhou Xin is not only able to expose Hanxin in terms of energy, but also in terms of strength. For the Hanxin embedded DSP chip that Chen Jin is involved in, Zhou Xin does not need to rely on Samsung's S series chips, but relies on Guan Jianying's experience and his knowledge from the future. With his vision, he can design a DSP chip that far surpasses Hanxin in three years.
Zhou Xin quickly moved his thoughts away from Hanxin, because he no longer needed to deal with such trivial matters personally. He only needed to tell Guan Jianying the ins and outs of the matter and lend his personal network resources to Guan Jianying.
He believed that Key Eagle could definitely control Chen Jin.
After chatting with the Chinese boss, he gained a new understanding of him.
In Zhou Xin's view, the other party has a very deep understanding of the electronics industry, and his understanding of the industry is broad and deep.
Guan Jianying has been engaged in chip design in Amerikan's Silicon Valley for more than 20 years. If Zhou Xin had not appeared, he would have become the founder of a semiconductor company with a market value of 20 billion RMB.
He can definitely be called a top talent, taking into account technology, professionalism and management capabilities. However, Guan Jianying's understanding of semiconductors is partial and is limited to what he wants to do and how he can do it well.
The big boss can combine the actual situation of China and the global economic situation to understand the current problems faced by the development of China's semiconductor technology, and at the same time have a certain degree of foresight about what will happen in the future.
Regarding what Zhou Xin wanted to do, the other party could quickly think of applications in other fields, and even came up with the concept of UnionPay several years in advance.
Once UnionPay is established, combined with the liberalization of electronic payment policies, China will start earlier in electronic payments.
As for why the semiconductor industry is not located in Yanjing, most of the Internet industry is concentrated in Zhongguancun. If we want to learn from Silicon Valley, putting semiconductors and the Internet together is the best choice.
Because Yanjing is short of water, the production process of semiconductors requires a large amount of water resources.
Shenhai and the Yangtze River Delta region are much richer in water resources.
Zhou Xin realized that the past few years have been a rare golden period. The semiconductor manufacturing process has been unable to achieve breakthroughs in 193nm, but he has been able to communicate directly to the top.
He can directly fight for policies, resources and some unique support. With these supports, Zhou Xin is sure to achieve results faster.
The big boss I met this time was professional enough and had a deep understanding of the electronics industry and industry, academia and research. This meant that once Zhou Xin made achievements, it would be easy to win more support.
For example, the financial level is tilted towards semiconductors, cultivating the domestic semiconductor industry chain in advance and even achieving breakthroughs.
Once faced with technological suppression in advance, it will be easier to catch up and even block a few key technology nodes in advance, making it impossible for the other party to exclude China's semiconductor industry chain.
Zhou Xin found that his plan needed to be completely reconsidered. There was a deviation between the previous plan and the current form.
Plans need to be dynamically adjusted. After the goals are set, the specific implementation path will change as the situation changes.
"After a year and a half, we gather together again at the Yanjing Hotel before the arrival of the 21st century. While celebrating Zhou Xin's return to China, we also wish the three of us a bright future after graduation next year."
After leaving the center of power and returning to the hotel to rest and review, Cao Yongluo organized a dinner party for the four of them in their former dormitory at the Yanjing Hotel in the evening.
Unlike the previous meal where Cao Yongluo paid for it and ate in the lobby, this meal was scheduled to be private and luxurious in a private room in the Yanjing Hotel's ceremonial hall, and Zhou Xin paid for it.
The only people here who have the ability to pay the bill are Zhou Xin and Cao Yongluo. Cao Yongluo will not compete with Zhou Xin for the right to pay the bill.
"To celebrate, let's have a drink first. Those who want to drink have a drink, and those who want to drink tea or drinks have a drink." Cao Yongluo raised his cup to signal a toast to everyone.
Cao Yongluo was chatting most of the time, and Zhou Xin occasionally said a few words. Wang Wei and Li Li would only say a few words when the words were handed over to them.
Although we all came out of the same dormitory back then, the gap in status was already so great that it is difficult to describe it in words.
Even though Cao Yongluo was in the middle, he told some secrets that everyone had never heard and some interesting things that happened to his friends to liven up the atmosphere.
But everyone here knows that the future will only drift away and eventually become strangers.
Relationships are often like this. Only relationships that can help each other are strong enough, either with capabilities or resources.
Other relationships, no matter how good they are, will dissipate over time, and being able to provide emotional value is also an ability.
"Let me tell you, my friend was much richer than me when he was at Amerikan. My monthly living expenses were less than five hundred dollars, while my friend's monthly living expenses were ten times as much as mine."
When Cao Yongluo was talking about the friends he met while studying abroad at the Santa Barbara campus, he received a phone call. After answering the phone and chatting for a few words, he looked at Zhou Xin with surprised eyes:
"Zhou Xin is still awesome. My family just called me and said that they saw the news that you were interviewed by the big boss at today's seven o'clock prime time, and asked me to have more contact with you.
I said, do you still need to talk about this? As early as when I was in college, I could see that Zhou Xin was an extraordinary person. It's a pity that the prime time slot at 7 o'clock has ended, so we can only watch the replay tomorrow.
Zhou Xin kept a low profile and did another big thing quietly. "
For people like Cao Yongluo, being able to talk directly to big leaders is indeed a big deal.
"The main thing is that I have said it, but you will be curious about what I talked about with him. These contents cannot be said to be secrets, but I don't know what can and cannot be said.
So just don’t say it. "Zhou Xin's main reason is that he doesn't want these people to know that he is behind it before the state-owned enterprise fund management and control system is released.
He couldn't guarantee that the three roommates here wouldn't leak what he said.
Especially when the capital management and control of state-owned enterprises is still in the preliminary research stage, someone would tell the media that it was his idea.
Then he was roasted on the fire.
Zhou Xin doesn't mind being known, but he doesn't want to be known in this way.
This matter can come out of Director Zeng's mouth, or it can be leaked out during the research process of the Planning Committee line, but it is best not to come out of his mouth.
"Actually, I know that the big boss will definitely meet you when you come back this time, but I didn't expect that meeting you would be broadcast for three minutes in the prime time slot at seven o'clock.
Before, whether he met Bill Gates or other entrepreneurs, it only lasted thirty seconds at most. "Cao Yongluo said that as a Tianlong person, he is particularly sensitive to this kind of thing.
"After all, those people are outsiders, and Zhou Xin is one of our own." Wang Wei said.
Zhou Xin said: "Maybe it's because I plan to invest money in the semiconductor field in China. The scale of tens of billions of dollars is a condition that other entrepreneurs will never be able to offer."
Not to mention the tens of billions of dollars in 1999, only state-owned funds can lead the tens of billions of dollars of semiconductor investment in 2020.
“After Alan Greenspan raised interest rates multiple times, the Nasdaq index plummeted one after another. Compared with its peak of 5391.64 points, the Nasdaq index has fallen by more than 10%.
Some commentators believe that this is a phased adjustment, which will not affect the long-term upward trend of the Nasdaq index.
Paul Krugman, meanwhile, disagrees. "
The end here refers to the end of the 20th century, and the Nasdaq bubble is about to burst. Because of the arrival of the new week, the Nasdaq index is about 10% higher than its original peak.
A new beginning also means that a new plot is about to begin.
