"I think this matter has caused such a big disturbance in China. You even expressed your importance to this matter in public by holding a press conference. The past two years have fully proved that with your participation, Only then can Zhangjiang embark on the path of rapid development.
I have been paying attention to the development of Zhangjiang, and I am also familiar with Xinxin’s past achievements. Xinxin has fully proved its strength. Xinxin is capable and has even achieved a world-leading position in some fields.
By becoming the core supplier of strong traditional technology companies, it has proven the authenticity of its products, including the leadership of Bluetooth chips. I don’t need to read professional magazines, I can just read business magazines to understand. In this context, your personal attitude is crucial to Xinxin's investment in Zhangjiang and Shenhai and its long-term future strategy.
I think under this premise, even if Jiaotong University wants to fool this matter, Shen Hai will not allow them to fool this matter.
Under this logic, coupled with the explanations from people around me, I believed that Hanxin was done by Chen Jin alone.
I didn't expect them to be so bold. A nest of snakes and rats did this. We have sent a multi-department investigation team to conduct a thorough investigation into the matter. The experts involved in the matter will definitely be investigated according to their level of participation. Severe punishment will be given according to the severity of the crime. "
The boss looked very distressed. Since the two met at the beginning of the millennium, Zhou Xin would come and chat for a while every time he returned to Yanjing. Most of the chats centered on what he had done in China recently and the recent technology in integrated circuits. Progress and industry trends and more.
From past chats, Zhou Xin found that the other party's learning ability is indeed strong enough. He will look for information on the new technologies he mentioned later, so that when they meet next time, he can explain why and how he thinks about his future development. Views on trends.
The other party continued: "It's still the same issue we talked about when we first met. The following information was seriously distorted when it was transmitted.
Based on my understanding of Sheng Wu, he is not someone who will cover up for Chen Jin or an expert from Jiaotong University, let alone the students in the Hanxin R&D team. He can only specifically implement what the person says. He Just think it is what it is.
Serious information distortion will occur just from Hanxin's front-line participants to Shengwu. When it reaches Yanjing, the distortion becomes even more serious. "
After listening to it, Zhou Xin could completely understand the situation where there is information transmission distortion above and below. The more levels there are in the middle, the higher the degree of distortion.
"I can understand it. This is why it is said in the Tao Te Ching that 'governing a big country is like cooking small dishes.' I also manage several companies under my command.
In the management process, there are also situations where it is difficult to discover the real problems of the enterprise. Like emerging investments, is there any money that is swallowed up by management in the name of investing in companies?
Wu Shiqiang and I have known each other for several years. Wu Shiqiang is the person in charge of Emerging Investments in China. There is a foundation of trust between us. However, I am not familiar with other investment managers and vice presidents of Emerging Investments in China. Do you know them? Would they do such a thing?
Or would Wu Shiqiang help them cover up if they did something like this? Controlling things to the extent that only Xinxing Investment Huaguo Branch understands? I think it probably will.
This does not necessarily mean that Wu Shiqiang has a problem, but that he does not want similar things to be known to me. For example, senior executives and project managers from the investment research department cooperate to invest in some companies that obviously do not comply with the principles of emerging investment. Afterwards, these companies will give They rebate and in this way embezzle the assets of emerging investments.
Wu Shiqiang may or may not know, but he certainly doesn’t want me to know. After knowing that, I will firstly suspect his poor management, and secondly, it will affect his autonomy. After similar things happen, I will definitely hope to know more about Xinxing The operation of the Huaguo branch must either increase auditing efforts or parachute senior executives to decentralize power with him.
Even for a company like Xinxing Investment Huaguo Branch with about a hundred people, I still have no way of knowing the real situation, let alone whether you can really understand the Hanxin incident in Shenhai.
The capital under management is 2 billion RMB every year. When the year is good, more participating projects are successfully listed. The profit rate is 30%. They feel that they can eat up some profits to make the profit rate 2%. 10. The problem is not big. We also had merit in the first place, but the current treatment does not match my contribution to the company. I have to rely on means outside the rules to eat up some of the benefits that originally belong to me.
But in fact, they did not expect that the reason why they could have such high profits was because they stepped on the general trend, stepped on the rapid development of China's economy, and regarded the general trend as their own ability.
Of course, I am just giving an example, and it does not mean that there is really a problem with the Huaguo branch of Xinxing Investment. If similar events occur in the future, they may also think that they are fine, because the general ledger on the books shows that emerging investments are growing at a high speed.
For you, the most they can do is stay in a few short lines of internal reports to summarize the matter to you in the way they want to express it.
Now that Chen Jin has broken the news in the media, and people have come forward one after another to reveal the details of Hanxin, we can now say that we have a relatively complete picture of the matter.
Now looking back at the Hanxin incident, if we discovered that Hanxin was cheating and did not hold a press conference to expose Hanxin's fraud, then with the support of the experts in the Hanxin No. 1 Appraisal Committee and the addition of Chen Jin's With their dirty information, most leaders may be able to profit from it.
Under the collusion of the three parties, the country and Jiaotong University will definitely invest more funds and provide greater support to Hanxin's R&D team. With such support, Hanxin's R&D team may not be able to develop new products in the future. Multimedia chip.
But there must be a problem, and that is the formation of path dependence. The people at Hanxin have become accustomed to the benefits that fraud brings to them, and they will definitely hope to continue to obtain more benefits through academic fraud. The actual multimedia chip developed and the multimedia chip they claim are likely to be two different things.
This is human nature, human nature is inevitable. I don’t find that Hanxin is cheating. In the future, people who know the inside story will come forward to reveal the truth because of the uneven distribution of benefits, or they may not come out because of a bad conscience. Of course, they may also be discovered by Motorola, because Chen Jin’s original technology source is Motorola.
The longer Hanxin delays, the worse the impact will be on China's scientific research environment and the industry-university-research transformation environment of integrated circuits.
Such clumsy fraud can bring a lot of benefits to those involved. In the end, only Chen Jin may be held responsible. The demonstration effect of this case is very scary. "
What Zhou Xin did not say was even more conservative than the reality. The reality is that in the end Chen Jin did not bear legal responsibility, but was stripped of his academic title and did not even have recourse for scientific research funding. It is almost as if they want to make Hanxin a typical case of academic corruption, and it is okay to encourage everyone to do so.
Zhou Xin continued: "If it were just a single incident at Hanxin, I wouldn't have to come forward in person, hold a press conference, and find Motorola to come out with a test report.
I don’t want similar incidents to have a bad impact on the entire environment, and I don’t want China’s integrated circuit industry, which has finally recovered and is already on the right track, to be affected.
Looking at Hanxin from now on, Chen Jin's fraud is very clumsy. Their methods are very rough and can even be described as crude, and there are not many confidentiality measures.
The result is that such crude means and such random fraud can deceive experts from Jiaotong University to Shenhai Science and Technology Commission to the Chinese Academy of Sciences. "
After Zhou Xin finished speaking, the two fell into an unspeakable silence.
The boss was reminiscing about the past: "Weren't you in the Lion City a few days ago? The integrated circuit industry in the Lion City was very similar to the integrated circuit industry in China for a while.
That was in the 1990s, about 1990. At that time, some domestic leaders pointed out that we were seriously lagging behind in the field of integrated circuits. I asked some ministries and commissions to jointly investigate and finally decided to launch the 908 project, which is Huajing.
At that time, we planned to introduce technology from Lucent and build a wafer fab with a monthly production capacity of 12,000 wafers. As a result, it took three years of research and another three years to build the factory. From the time we decided to do this in 1990 to the time it was put into production in 1998, Huajing It took eight years in total.
Chartered Semiconductor in the Lion City also started to get involved in semiconductor production in 1990. They started production in 1993. By the time Huajing was put into production, Chartered Semiconductor's wafer fab had even recovered its investment.
I don’t know how many problems there are and I don’t have the ability to know. I will attribute all the reasons below to spending too much time on research and judgment. Is this actually the reason? I have no idea. "
When I look back later, I will realize how rapidly China developed in the two decades from the 1990s to the first decade of the new millennium, and how full of opportunities it was.
But in fact, in the past twenty years, corruption has been the most obvious problem. Just because people were in the process of going from 0 to 1 or even to 10, people would not pay too much attention to someone going from 0 to 100 or to 1000. . After all, there was no self-media to tell everyone what 100, 1,000 or more days were like.
“Later, Huahong under the 909 Project did not achieve the expected results, which led to us not knowing where to start when we wanted to develop the chip industry.
Until Xinxin was launched in Zhangjiang, the comrades responsible for integrated circuit industry research in the Ministry of Information Industry visited Xinxin many times. Every time they went, they had new feelings. It turns out that this can still be done.
The more I study, the more I believe that our previous development path did not respect the laws of the market and was still based on the thinking of a planned economy. Once I build the wafer factory, there will naturally be a market, and there will naturally be consumer groups to pay for the chips we produce.
If we start from this perspective, after the successive failures of the 908 and 909 projects, coupled with the outbreak of the Hanxin incident, there may be no local governments and no companies that want to invest or dare to invest in the integrated circuit industry in the future.
Our already weak integrated circuit industry will face a fatal blow. "
The big boss’s guess is very different from the original development trajectory. The only difference is that in the future, it will be rushed to the shelves and will have to develop the integrated circuit industry. Even local governments borrow money to develop the chip industry locally.
It’s hard to elaborate too much on the specific situations, but we can get a glimpse of them with some examples:
Dehuai Semiconductor, which was established with an investment of 2.2 billion yuan from the Huaiyin local government, persisted for a year, and then began to default on supplier payments and employee wages. In the three years from 2017 to 2019, Dehuai Semiconductor actually invested 4.6 billion in the project, and the cost ratio The actual cost is roughly twice as high.
Like EPC general contracting, the project quotation of the same specifications generally does not exceed 1 billion yuan. The winning bid price of Dehuai's EPC general contracting is 2 billion yuan.
In the years when domestic semiconductors were booming, there were many similar incidents.
Zhou Xin said: “Let’s talk about Hanxin first, and then the integrated circuit industry.
As for Hanxin, I think there needs to be a mechanism to prevent similar incidents from happening. For example, the national level only invests in basic research and allows companies to intervene in applied research.
Of course, this classification is too rough. We can make it more refined and let companies be responsible for investment in projects with market value. Schools and relevant institutions are only responsible for matchmaking and not specific investment.
For projects that have no market value, we first determine whether they have academic value, and secondly determine whether the team applying for funds is capable of completing them, and then grant scientific research funds in batches.
We will strengthen supervision when reporting results afterwards. I am just giving a general idea.
This degree is too difficult to grasp when implementing it. "
Later, the practices of various funds were similar. The boss was responsible for applying for funds, and the small bosses and scientific research dogs were responsible for producing results. Only scholars who are good at leadership can stand out from the crowd. In a sense, this is also reverse elimination.
The difference between the ideas proposed by Zhou Xin is that more companies are involved and the invisible hand of the market is allowed to determine the life and death of some scientific research projects.
The boss said: “Your idea is to introduce the venture capital management model into the field of scientific research and let private capital participate. Because they have the purpose of transforming results, they will be more cautious in controlling the results.
I will ask the people below to study the specific implementation plan, and they will fully refer to your suggestions during the process of formulating the plan.
We cannot rule for people, we dare not rule for the rule of law, and this is the goal we want to pursue. Indeed, as you said, we need to consider avoiding the occurrence of academic fraud in the future.
Let scientific researchers who behave honestly and do their work down-to-earth receive the honor and treatment they deserve, and those who commit fraud receive the punishment they deserve.
But this is indeed not easy, because the imperfection of relevant systems and inadequate supervision and punishment methods have led to major problems in the identification of scientific research results.
Hanxin is just a concentrated outbreak of these potential problems. "
I've been working overtime almost every day this week, and I don't even think about typing when I get home from get off work at night.
