Chapter Eight Hundred and Ninety-Eight: Everyone Has Worked Hard, Today I Will Add Chicken Drumsticks to Everyone
Zhang Zhongmou's prestige has huge energy in the semiconductor field.
Although he only does foundry, he doesn't have any consumer products.
But when contemporary workers are at their best, no one dares to underestimate it.
Even Intel, Samsung, they have great admiration for TSMC.
Under the leadership of Zhang Zhongmou, Intel and Samsung did not hesitate too much.
In fact, like Zhang Zhongmou, they have long felt the pressure of Huanyu Technology.
Especially Samsung, Huanyu Technology has already competed with Samsung in some businesses such as mobile phones, foundry, TV, and LCD display, and some businesses have also overwhelmed Samsung. Just because this market is huge, even if Universal Technology comes in, their business is still growing, which makes them ignore it a little bit. But after Zhang Zhongmou clarified the pros and cons, several giants knew. If they don't enter, it will be too late to restrain Huanyu Technology in the future.
A few days later, TSMC, Intel, Samsung, and the four semiconductor giants of the Netherlands asml held a global press conference. The meeting announced that TSMC, Intel, Samsung, and the three will jointly invest US$7 billion in asml and formally study the wet lithography process.
This news may be incomprehensible to some ordinary people, and they don't know what they are doing with such a big move.
But even so, the huge sum of $7 billion is an extremely terrifying figure.
"Mr. Chen, TSMC, Intel, and Samsung injected $7 billion into asml."
The first time, Zhang Jianming came to Chen Yu's office.
You can tell at a glance who this news is most aimed at.
"I see."
Chen Yu sat in the office chair.
News like this has already spread all over the world.
Even if Chen Yu didn't ask for the news, he already received it.
In fact, Chen Yu doesn't need to inquire about news. TSMC, Intel, Samsung, and asml hold a press conference. They just officially announced to the world that they want to study wet lithography.
"Mr. Chen, Zhang Zhongmou of TSMC has a high prestige and is also very influential in the global semiconductor industry. We should quickly make a response strategy."
After Zhang Jianming, Lin Benjian, who received the news, also came.
"General Manager Lin, why are you here?"
Seeing Lin Benjian coming, Chen Yu smiled and said, "Aren't you and Professor Wang Ren professional in technology research?"
"Mr. Chen, although we study technology, we also have to pay attention to the movements of the semiconductor giants around the world. Just immersing ourselves in technology research, it is not necessarily when our technology is out of date."
"It's too late, how could it be, Chief Engineer Lin, the wet lithography theory was proposed by you, and we should have the most advantage."
"Mr. Chen, you can't say that."
Lin Benjian shook his head: "Although the wet lithography theory was the first to come up, I was actually the first to perfect this theory. In the industry, we also discussed it privately with some other experts at that time. , we thought it was a direction at the time, but because the theories in various aspects were not perfect, we didn't go further. But then I found that dry lithography met the bottle shank, so I put my idea back on wet lithography theory On. To this end, I have further improved."
"That is to say, TSMC's research in this area may not be weaker than ours?"
"Even, it may be stronger than us."
Lin Ben said seriously.
"Better than us."
Chen Yu touched his chin.
He was not surprised by Lin Benjian's remarks.
In fact, he had been prepared before.
How could the wet lithography process just poach Lin Benjin alone and completely surpass them.
Even with the addition of Professor Wang Ren, who was dug from Peking University, it is far from enough.
TSMC, asml, Intel, Samsung... They have been in the semiconductor field for decades, just the technology that has been precipitated for decades,
They are all much stronger than Huanyu Technology. Not to mention, they also have world-class talent.
"It's okay, Chief Engineer Lin, I believe in your strength."
Chen Yu thought about it for a while, and said to Chief Engineer Lin, "You can study it with confidence."
"Mr. Chen, I'm worried that they might be one step ahead of us."
"It's nothing to be a step faster. Our own research in semiconductors is slower than theirs."
People in the country who have been behind several generations of technology have come here, not to mention that they are faster than Huanyu Technology.
With Chen Yu's style of play.
Even if they researched the wet lithography process first, Chen Yu could abuse them.
What's more, they may not be faster than Huanyu Technology.
Seeing that Mr. Lin was still under some pressure, Chen Yu thought about it and said, "So, Mr. Lin, let me go to the laboratory with you."
"Mr. Chen, who are you?"
"Let's go, you'll know when you go."
"Okay, Mr. Chen, please come with me."
Bring Chen Yu, Chief Engineer Lin, Zhang Jianming and others to the laboratory.
At this time, all technicians in the laboratory are doing their own work.
In it, including the newly dug Professor Wang Ren, and several brothers Chen Yu who were exchange students at Peking University.
"Everyone, please stop."
Chief Engineer Lin said to everyone in the laboratory.
Chen Yu stepped forward and said, "Don't be nervous, everyone, and it's not so formal. There's really nothing to come here today, I just want to chat with everyone."
Chen Yu let everyone relax, and then asked, "Professor Wang, how are you doing in the company recently?"
"Everything is fine."
"Are you tired?"
"This, say tired and tired, say not tired and not tired."
"How do you say that?"
"Tired because some of us who are engaged in technology often don't even care about meals when we start research, and we have to stay up late from time to time."
"It's really hard work, isn't it?"
"It's not tiring, it's that we can turn various theories into reality through our research step by step. This is very rewarding in terms of spirit and sense of achievement."
Professor Wang Ren told the truth.
When he started to enter Universal Technology, he still had some concerns.
But after joining Universal Technology for a period of time, he no longer has much feeling for Peking University.
In an experimental environment like Huanyu Technology, you can't find it in Peking University with a lantern.
"Professor Wang said it well."
Chen Yu took the lead in applauding.
Then, Chen Yu said: "I think you all know that TSMC, Intel, and Samsung have invested in asml recently."
"Mr. Chen, don't worry, we will work hard and strive to conquer the wet lithography theory first."
Wang Ren assured Chen Yu.
"Professor Wang, think about it too much. Wet lithography is an extremely complicated process, so I can't be in a hurry. Also, I don't want everyone to be tired day and night. So, when I come here today, I especially Everyone brings a bonus."
"The annual salary of Mr. Lin has been increased to 100 million yuan, bonuses and equity are calculated separately."
"what?"
Lin Ben hardly thought about the sudden salary increase.
Moreover, OnePlus is so ruthless.
"Don't be surprised, Chief Engineer Lin, you scientific researchers are the core strength of our Huanyu Technology."
Of course, this salary increase is not just for Lin Benjian, but for everyone in the laboratory.
"In addition to Chief Engineer Lin, other project leaders start with an annual salary of 30 million."
"Senior researcher, with an annual salary of 10 million."
"Senior researcher, with an annual salary of 5 million."
After finishing speaking, Chen Yu looked at the brothers next to Professor Wang Ren.
It was said before that a few senior brothers were brought in as assistants to Chief Engineer Lin, but in fact, Lin Benjian had already had assistants and did not need them.
When Professor Wang Ren was dug over, Chen Yu asked several juniors to follow Professor Wang Ren.
Several senior brothers and Professor Wang Ren were very satisfied with this arrangement.
"Also, our junior researcher starts with a minimum of 1 million..."
The so-called junior researchers are Chen Yu's brothers at Peking University.
"Mr. Chen, can we also get an annual salary of 1 million?"
Hundreds of millions of tens of millions of salaries fell, and the entire laboratory was completely forced.
But no matter how they are forced, it is absolutely impossible for them to ignore the charm of money.
At this time, several of Chen Yu's senior brothers at Peking University were already screaming excitedly.
"Oh, of course."
Chen Yu nodded affirmatively: "Come on, in a few years to become a senior researcher, you can get 5 million."
