Lu Fei arrived at Wanwan on a private plane, and Wang Xuehong fulfilled his promise and personally picked him up at Songshan Airport.
The group of people drove non-stop to the industrial park where HTC is located. Along the way, various campaign slogans and flags could be seen everywhere. Promotional vehicles with loudspeakers made noise, shouting to passers-by "Everyone, please, please" and "Please do more." support"……
Crowds of people and traffic jams.
It took a long time before the convoy of luxury cars arrived at their destination.
In fact, it's just a formality. Lu Fei had long decided to take HTC as his younger brother. With Wang Xuehong and the connections behind him in the Formosa Plastics Group, he could make more like-minded "teammates" in the business community, especially in the IC industry.
"Ms. Wang, you are very welcome to htc to join the Android family. You can arrange technical personnel to connect at any time."
Lu Fei took the initiative and stretched out his hand.
Wang Xuehong shook hands with him, thanked him repeatedly and said, "Mr. Lu, we have another unkind favor."
"Oh, please tell me." Lu Fei said in surprise.
"I am afraid that no one in the world can surpass Mr. Lu's understanding of smart phones. Taking this rare opportunity, I would like Mr. Lu to comment on the htc g1 we designed."
Wang Xuehong glanced at her, and the secretary behind her immediately took out the concept map tucked under her arm and unfolded it in front of everyone.
Lu Fei couldn't resist his kindness and cast a scrutinizing gaze. The HTC G1 looks exactly like the Nokia N97. The screen is not equipped with multi-touch, and the keyboard is not a virtual keyboard. It is just a physical keyboard with a slider installed under the screen.
Not only is it difficult to use, but it is also easy to accidentally touch it.
"Mr. Lu, we have also considered what you said."
Wang Xuehong sighed, "But HTC has not obtained the multi-touch patent authorization. Even if it can buy a capacitive touch screen, the assembled mobile phone cannot be put on the market because of infringement."
Lu Fei could hear the implication. HTC also wanted to obtain logical technology authorization like Samsung and Apple, and business would come to its door. Of course, everyone would be welcome, but just a little reminder——
A sliding keyboard like the HTC G1, like the Nokia N97, is best paired with a single-touch resistive screen.
As it happens, there is logic too.
A technology specially developed for the needs of the second generation Kindle, but the latest generation has enabled capacitive touch screens.
The only difference between iPad and iPad is panel yield and production capacity.
"But I think that whether it is an Android system or an iOS system, the new generation of mobile phone systems can only display the charm of intelligence through multi-touch. Don't you think so, Mr. Lu?"
Wang Xuehong stared at him straightly.
The corner of Lu Fei's mouth raised slightly, "If Ms. Wang is really interested, this year's Logic conference will release Logic's latest flagship phone in addition to the second-generation iPhone, which will definitely give HTC a new understanding of Android phones. "
"Then I'll just wait and see."
Wang Xuehong smiled and said, "I have reserved a seat at the Grand Hotel in the evening, specially for you, Mr. Lu."
"Ms. Wang, actually I also have a merciless request."
Lu Fei got straight to the point and wanted to make an appointment with someone in her name.
"I have told my father that he also wants to meet Mr. Lu very much. He will welcome you whenever you come to the house."
Wang Xuehong's face was filled with enthusiasm.
"Forget it today, it's too late. I will pay a visit to Mr. Wang some other day with my nephew's gift."
Lu Fei smiled and said: "As for the person I asked Ms. Wang to make an appointment, he is Liang Mengsong from TSMC."
………………
"Mr. Di Liang arrived at Sanxing. How is the progress?"
In the study room of the mansion in Hannam-dong, Lee Kun-hee held a brush in his hand and wrote the words "Empty-handed" on the paper.
"Dad, it went very well!"
Li Zaiyong laughed wildly: "The people we sent have successfully contacted Mrs. Shang Liang. She is a stick person. According to her, Mr. Liang's situation is very bad. TSMC is simply confused. Such a talented person has been relegated to the sidelines. , frustrated, hahaha, TSMC is handing over someone to us, Samsung!"
Li Jianxi stopped writing, "Let's start with Mrs. Liang and ask her to help us persuade Mr. Liang to switch jobs to Samsung."
"I have arranged for Mrs. Liang's father and brother to work at Samsung. They will also work for Mr. Liang's family and convince them to live a good life." Lee Jae-yong adjusted his glasses with a smirk on his face.
"Good job, Zai Rong!"
Li Jianxi nodded with satisfaction and smiled happily.
Today's Samsung wafer foundry is far less terrible than in the previous life. Although it went all out and spent billions of dollars to build a foundry, its revenue is only more than 100 million US dollars, and it only ranks eighth in the world, only second to Lu Fei's Fuxing moved up 4 places.
It is far behind SMIC, which is ranked third in the world!
Obviously, like SMIC, they chose to build factories counter-cyclically, but they just can't catch up. In the final analysis, Samsung is missing a leader like Zhang Rujing, and there just isn't such a person in the country.
Ever since, Samsung was like an eagle lurking in the dark, staring closely at TSMC, gathering strength and preparing to deliver a fatal blow.
And now, the prey appears!
Liang Mengsong is a well-known technical geek and the "personal disciple" of Hu Zhengming, the inventor of chip transistor configuration fi.
This Master Hu is the man who has broken the physical limits of semiconductor design considered by Intel and is known as the person who continues "Moore's Law" for decades. He is the undisputed number one chief technology officer of Wanwan.
As his favorite disciple, he was even better than his master, pushing his master's inventions and theories further forward.
"I always remember what my father said, three 'Bill Gates' can raise the stick to a higher level. Your task is to find three such geniuses and entrust them to reuse them."
Lee Jae-yong presented himself as a wise and filial prince.
"To me, Mr. Liang is the 'Bill Gates' of the chip industry. No matter what the price, he must be recruited!"
Li Jianxi picked up the pen again, and the last stroke of the last word "go" came down hard, penetrating the back of the paper.
"Don't worry, Dad, our annual salary for Mr. Liang is US$1 million, which is more than three times what he earned at TSMC!"
Lee Jae-yong is full of confidence, as if he has a winning ticket.
"It would be great if there are people like Lu Fei who can be used by me. He can equal two Bill Gates." Li Jianxi said with regret in his tone, but it was a pity that he could not be his son-in-law.
"Dad, isn't that too much of a reputation?"
Lee Jae-yong is jealous: "I think he is only worth a Bill Gates at most."
"Then at least there's another Steve Jobs."
Li Jianxi seemed to mean something and said: "We have seen the logical lphone, Fu Zhen, he has indeed opened up a new era of mobile phones. Even now, I can't do such an earth-shattering thing, let alone at his age. .”
"Dad, I think feature phones are the backbone of Samsung's mobile communications. Smartphones are just a temporary trend. A gust of wind will pass. I shouldn't let my sister mess around like that."
Li Zaiyong secretly made a small report about Li Fuzhen.
Because of their interests, high-level veterans who originally relied on functional machines to reach their positions formed a vested interest group that closely surrounded the crown prince of the Samsung Empire and was very hostile to the reformist eldest princess.
"madness!"
Li Jianxi's cloudy eyes burst into light: "Are you so afraid of being robbed of your position as heir by your sister? That you would oppose the correct strategy just because you want to weaken Fuzhen?"
"Dad, I..."
Lee Jae-yong whispered: "Fu Zhen's choice may not necessarily be correct, right? What if it fails?"
"Your heart! Your heart!"
Li Jianxi poked his son's chest hard: "How can you be so small-minded? Why do you regard Fuzhen as your opponent? You are the future vice president of Samsung. You should regard people like Lu Fei as your opponent, do you understand!" "
"dad?!"
Instead of being annoyed, Lee Jae-yong was pleasantly surprised.
These words almost made it clear that he would be the future heir!
"Looking at Lu Fei's work, do you think he just makes mobile phones? He uses one point to lead to an all-round rise."
Li Jianxi raised his voice and used metaphors.
For example, Qualcomm and Lufei asked Logic and The Paper to purchase bundled chips in large quantities, but they were "buying and selling." In exchange, Qualcomm's chip foundry was also handed over to Fuxing.
For another example, on the condition of multi-touch, capacitive touch screen and other patents, Apple agreed to the bundled sales package of ndna flash memory chips, panels and chip foundry offered by Fuxing.
It's equivalent to selling a cabbage and getting a green onion for free.
Relying on this, Fuxing was founded just a few years ago, and it has ranked 12th in global semiconductor sales as a dark horse. Maybe this year, or next year at the latest, it should enter the top 10 in the world.
Growing so fast, so scary.
All it takes is one technical leader to soar into the sky!
"Dad, I was wrong."
Li Zaiyong was ashamed and lowered his head.
"If a person's heart is small, then his business will definitely not be big. You must have a big heart, you know!"
Li Jianxi hit his chest with his fist again and said that in his lifetime, he personally led Samsung to wipe out the panel and memory chip industries of Wanwan, leaving only one wafer foundry.
"Dad, don't worry, TSMC will be solved by my generation! I will definitely complete the 'kill wanwan' plan!"
Lee Jae-yong’s face was full of seriousness and murderous intent.
“Killing Bay” is the strategy set by Samsung in the millennium.
First destroying the pillar industries of panels and memory chips, and then knocking down TSMC, the Everest of the Gulf industry, allowing Samsung to completely dominate the advanced electronics industry will also help it successfully hand over the power of Samsung and achieve a solid record that leaves people speechless.
And all this requires Liang Mengsong!
………………
"A sneeze! A sneeze!"
On a rainy night, Liang Mengsong held an umbrella and walked on the path leading to the Purple Tenglu Teahouse. As he walked, he muttered:
"Why would the second young lady of the Wang family want to meet me?"
After thinking about it all the way, I still couldn't figure it out, but I still had to do it even if it was a mess, because Wang Xuehong was the second daughter of the Wang family.
Formosa Plastics Group is undoubtedly the leader of the Bay Area!
Even TSMC boss Zhang Zhongmou didn’t dare to offend...
Not far away, a 2-story old Japanese-style building was hidden by the green shade, so looming that even when you walked outside the teahouse's gate, you couldn't tell where the gate was.
But at this moment, a light hit the ground.
The rainwater accumulated in the pit sparkled instantly.
"Hello, Dr. Liang."
Lu Fei has been waiting outside the door.
"Hey, who are you?"
Liang Mengsong took a closer look and saw that the man's face was both unfamiliar and familiar at the same time. Suddenly an idea suddenly occurred to him: "You, are you Lu Fei?"
Lu Fei said yes and greeted him politely.
"Oh my gosh, I didn't expect to see you here."
Liang Mengsong couldn't help but wonder, who are these legendary figures waiting for? Was it worth waiting for him on a rainy day?
"It's you I'm waiting for, Dr. Liang."
Lu Fei looked familiar and put his arm around his shoulders, "I'm asking Ms. Wang to please take the trouble to come."
"It's you who wants to see me?!"
Liang Mengsong was startled, alert and moved at the same time.
The second richest man in China, maybe already the richest man, greeting him personally like Cheng Menlixue?
My heart was hurt by being left out by TSMC, and I couldn't help but feel warm.
So I followed Lu Fei into the door. There was a garden on the left hand side with three old wisteria trees and a small fish pond under the trees. It had the compactness of a Japanese garden and the momentum of a Chinese garden.
Private rooms are available in Japanese, Western and Chinese styles.
Lu Fei naturally chose the right one. The egg-yellow light slowly spread through the two hanging paper lanterns. Separated by a layer of paper lampshades, the light became soft and soft.
"Use slowly, use slowly."
The boss calmly arranged everything with his own hands, then exited in a polite manner and closed the shoji door.
"I didn't know Mr. Lu was looking for me..."
Liang Mengsong looked confused.
"Dr. Liang, as a top technical expert in the chip field, I have a few questions I would like to ask."
Lu Fei opened the password box and took out various products produced by Fuxing using the 65nm process.
Since 90nm announced that semiconductors have entered the nanometer era, the two years of 2006 and 2007 have been the years when 65nm chips have exploded.
In the PC field, Intel and AMD's 65nm cup chips have fully entered the mainstream market, and in the field of mobile phone baseband chips, many semiconductor manufacturers have launched 65nm.
Although it has not yet been rolled out on a large scale, the advantages of power consumption, size and performance have been highlighted. Once the cost drops, large-scale application is only a matter of time, but the new logic machine will be available now.
But the problem is that the yield rate is too low!
Only 14%!
"This has to go to the wafer fab. Specific issues will be dealt with in detail, but just from Mr. Lu. Hey, I'm sorry."
Because of Lu Fei's courtesy, Liang Mengsong couldn't help but say a few words, and then suddenly remembered that he was from TSMC. How could he help his competitors answer questions? Isn’t that enough to be an enemy?
"I know these questions will embarrass Dr. Liang."
Lu Fei, who was sitting casually in the cross-legged position, suddenly leaned his upper body forward, poured him tea with his own hands, and said, "So, I would like to invite you to come to our revival..."
"It turns out that Mr. Lu wanted to poach me to join Fuxing."
Liang Mengsong understood instantly and was extremely careful.
"It's not about digging, it's about asking. I want to ask Dr. Liang to come out."
Lu Fei's tone was full of sincerity.
Liang Mengsong politely refused: "I am already in the mountain of TSMC, so why should I go out and go to the mountain of Mr. Lu?"
"Dr. Liang, you are not born in TSMC. You are completely retiring. You are not active. You are completely passive, right?"
"Have you investigated me?"
"Of course the investigation must be investigated. Without investigation, how would I have known that Dr. Liang was assigned to do infrastructure work? It was a complete waste of time and resources. Without investigation, how would I have known that Dr. Liang had paid so much for TSMC, and the result was If you don't investigate, how will I know..."
"That's enough, Mr. Lu, stop talking!"
These words spoke to Liang Mengsong's heart.
Obviously his ideal is "advanced manufacturing processes" and he should be able to shine in wafer foundry, but in the end he was relegated to the sidelines.
For engineers who are full of ideals, abandonment means the end. I still can’t figure out, why do you do this to me?
After all, I am also a hero and veteran of TSMC!
"TSMC has clearly set up two positions of vice president of R&D, but they would rather transfer you to the special department director of infrastructure than appoint Luo Weiren who was airborne."
Lu Fei was filled with indignation, "This is really a bad move!"
"Maybe it's being held hostage by capital."
Liang Mengsong's words were full of resentment.
"Snapped!"
Lu Fei slapped the table, "Then you can't waste your golden period of scientific research! How many years can a chip expert like you, Dr. Liang, have to waste?"
"Mr. Lu, I, I respect you."
Ever since Liang Mengsong was devolved, whether at home or in the company, he had kept his depression inside and did not dare to vent to his colleagues. He was so embarrassed that he had no face to see anyone.
Because of this, I never dare to eat in the staff restaurant again.
"Ding."
The porcelain cups collided and made a crisp sound.
Lu Fei raised his neck and downed the drink: "I asked Dr. Liang to come out, not only for the sake of revival, but also for you. Instead of sitting here on the bench, why not go to the mainland to help China's integrated circuits and become famous!"
