Westerly sunlight pours into the office through floor-to-ceiling windows.

On the first day after the festival, a good weather came in Shencheng.

It is a rare sunny day in the past two months.

In August, it rained for a month. In September, it was often cloudy and rainy. In October, the entire eleventh holiday was overcast.

The bleakness of autumn seems to be much earlier.

Coming out of the only conference room, Fang Nian sat down at his desk. Lu Weiyu delivered warm tea made by himself: "Drink tea first, we are all ready."

Fang Nian took two sips of his teacup and looked at everyone: "Let me say a few words first."

"Tomorrow morning, I will go to Changchun's Changchun Laboratory to inspect the work. You follow, Xiaogu. If Mr. Guan is free, please follow along."

"The other thing is that the company's headquarters project planning should not be wasted, and the golden land given by Shencheng should not be wasted. For nearly three months, I spent money to produce a design draft of the headquarters building complex in line with the frontier image."

After hearing this, Wen Ye took over: "What is the overall budget?"

"The construction and installation cost of high-rise office buildings in Shencheng is generally around 3,000 yuan per square meter." Gu Yu added a data, "but there will be a 10% to 15% increase every year."

No more than 150 meters is considered a high-rise in Shencheng, but it can also be called a super high-rise.

Fang Nian thought for a while, and said: "Don't worry about the general situation, anyway, the overall total budget should be higher than 3 billion, but try not to exceed 5 billion. Let the professional team consider the cost increase of construction time."

"The acceptance will be in mid-April 2013 at the latest. In short, we must be perfect."

"Contact other banks and try to get the bank to settle part of the construction funds."

"..."

The headquarters building is relatively simple.

Anyway, the basic civil works began to be sorted out in 2011, and full-scale construction began in 2012. It took 20 months from construction to commissioning. It is the civil engineering project with the longest period of time between the Frontier Department and the Dangkang Department.

The actual construction difficulty is actually not high. Without so many prerequisites, 300 days is actually enough.

Then it's about planning.

Liu Xi was the first to speak: "Currently, the fully disposable cash in the company's account is 25.4 billion yuan, including 15 billion loans, as well as 5.8 billion that has arrived today and some unused cash before;

Excluding more than 5 billion cash in Luzhou Frontier's account. "

After Liu Xigang finished speaking, Guan Qiuhe let out a scream: "Hey! I have never heard such a big number in my life!"

"Indeed, it's too much, too much, or let's run away with money!" Wen Ye's eyes rolled around, like a sharp-mouthed monkey cheek.

Wu Fucheng, who hadn't spoken much, was stunned: "With such a large amount of cash flow, you can make billions of dollars for whatever you do?"

"..."

Fang Nian glanced at everyone and lazily said, "That means you can be teased by President Guan, which means it looks too much."

Then he looked at Guan Qiuhe: "President Guan, strive to spend 10 billion this month, can it work."

"I try my best, and try to control the completion of the shareholding within 10 billion." Guan Qiuhe said seriously.

There are a total of 27 companies wanting to buy shares. Throughout September, hundreds of people in the three companies, Frontier, Frontier Ecology, and Frontier Science, were busy with related affairs.

Anyway, it is not a simple matter.

Fang Nian went on to say: "Allocated two separate payments to Luzhou Frontier, a sum of 500 million yuan for the expansion of the Luzhou Data Center;

The other 2 billion will be used to complete the wafer test production line. These funds must be earmarked for use and should not be confused with R&D funding. "

"Secondly, it is useful for me to allocate an equivalent of 1 billion U.S. dollars."

“In addition to the remaining billions of billions in cash to support civil engineering at any time, one billion will be allocated to the New Frontier Institute projects and one billion will be allocated for frontier academics;

The rest is allocated to several major laboratories except Baize according to the R&D ratio. "

Speaking of this, Fang Nian paused for a while and emphasized: "Welcome to the secret, then you will arrange a team to supervise cutting-edge academics;

At the same time as increasing investment, managing project results and output well, it has been nearly two years since the first project. I feel that there is more than easing and the return is insufficient. "

After listening to Fang Nian, everyone’s first thought was:

"More than 20 billion, is this all gone?"

But everyone quickly reacted, and each agreed.

Wu Fucheng sighed first: "Money is really a bastard."

"Always not enough." Guan Qiuhe took the conversation.

"..."

A joke is a joke, and reality is reality.

When Baize Lab got out Bailong D1 by mistake, the frontier was actually on the cusp of the storm.

You don't need to take a long-term plan. Guan Qiuhe and others know very well that more than 20 billion yuan is a drop in the bucket for the frontier.

Because they knew that Fang Nianfang’s certain perspectives sounded like funny, like nonsense that was absolutely impossible, but that actually represented the sharpest essential interests.

It simply will happen.

Since Fang Nian proposed to start the exaggerated shareholding plan with a budget of close to 10 billion, and with the collection of information, everyone in the front office knew it all at once.

Fang Nian had already prepared for the worst.

Then there will be no way to leverage this plan. Samsung's S2 has not yet entered the domestic market. Who knows the sales geometry.

As a result, I heard that the frontier is going to implement virtual stocks internally, and Miao Wei has sent 15 billion loans in a hurry.

Then Samsung Electronics is eager to complete the deployment of comprehensive coverage of the domestic market.

Frontier funding seems to be loose.

When Fang Nian made a simple allocation, everyone realized more clearly that not only the funds were not enough, but also the time.

In fact, things have long been clear.

If it is enough, Fang Nian will not go to the capital to see Miaowei, and he will promote this and that, he is so lazy, and he has never liked to make trouble.

Even if it was the last Miaowei's personal promise, Fang Nian said something like playing around 50 billion to stimulate Miaowei.

If the frontier wants to truly settle down, it needs to exchange massive funds for technical reserves to deal with the inevitable crisis...

After Wu Fucheng sighed with Guan Qiuhe, Wen Ye suddenly asked: "President Fang, are you under pressure?"

"Me?" Fang Nian smiled, "No."

As he said, his eyelids moved lightly: "Have you ever thought that the reason I planned for the worst is because I was deliberately taking risks."

"?"

Guan Qiuhe frowned slightly: "How do you say?"

Fang Nian lazily said: "It is the frontier that needs to be suppressed by the outside, not that the outside must suppress the frontier."

"what?"

"Catfish effect?"

"No, not like."

"..."

Fang Nian explained: “Because of the superiority of R&D results, no matter what the frontier does, it seems too white.”

"And, it's easy to be taken for granted."

"These are obviously not conducive to frontier development."

At the end, Fang Nian said quietly: "I am not a selfless person."

Everyone was stunned.

Wen Ye even stuck out his tongue: "My mine, my rank is not enough."

"..."

Everyone smiled.

Fang Nian drank a few sips of tea, and suddenly looked at Liu Xi: "Liu Xi, you have worked so hard to find a way to improve the efficiency of internal fund implementation."

"Understood." Liu Xi nodded.

"..."

…………

…………

The next day, weekend.

At 6:20 in the morning, the Guanzi plane took off from Pudong Airport to Changchun.

Guan Qiuhe coordinated other itineraries and made time to follow to Changchun.

Anyway, this business trip everyone knows is to leave early and return late.

At 9:30, Fang Nian and his entourage arrived at the semiconductor equipment laboratory in Yingtong next to the Changguang Institute.

It has been more than three months since the establishment of 梼杌.

The development is quite smooth. There are currently 210 R&D personnel and more than 30 administrative personnel.

The reason why it went smoothly is because all the R&D staff started with a master's degree, one academician was completely suspended, several guest academicians, and more than 20 guest professors.

It is the light of the Changguang Institute.

Of course, what is more important is that at the beginning, relying on the face of Academician Chen Jianye, he pulled two, two and three, four and five, and almost searched for a number of leaders in related fields in the Northeast.

"..."

Academician Wang, the administrative director of the laboratory and the director of research and development, and several executives greeted them.

The administrative supervisor said with a smile on his face: "Welcome Mr. Fang to inspect and guide the work."

"Hello, academician Wang." Fang Nian smiled slightly.

The gaseous state of behavior makes people ignore Fang Nian's age.

There is no such lazy student look at all.

Fang Nian made a gesture: "Please also invite some of you to show me around."

"Okay, okay, please." The administrative director could not help changing his honorific title.

"..."

The office area of ​​the 梼杌 Laboratory is not small. Although it has less than 300 people, it occupies a small high-rise office building with three floors.

The total area is over 10,000 square meters.

Each floor has a precision instrument room.

The mature entry and exit management system of Nuwa Lab has been followed, and the confidentiality work is in place.

Looking around, Fang Nian praised a few words with satisfaction: "In order, everyone has worked hard."

"..."

Then listened to the work report of the administrative director and Academician Wang in the conference room.

This is the laboratory with the least accumulation of technology. All initial technical information comes from cutting-edge academics.

Although the work modules are properly divided, they are not sufficiently quantified, so that progress is not optimistic.

Strictly speaking, it is the second-to-last progress among the seven laboratories nationwide.

The last one is of course Pangu Laboratory, which was only established last month.

In the last five laboratories, the R&D work progressed most smoothly not by Zhu Wei, but by Changan's Gourmet.

It's really greedy.

However, it was well coordinated before its establishment, and the beginning was a framework agreement for cooperation between 27 universities.

So there are breakthroughs from time to time.

But if you insist, in fact, in all the laboratories including Nuwa and Baize, the fastest progress is Shengyu.

It's just a triumph below the surface.

Moreover, Shengyu has taken a ‘dirty’ road, because the accumulation of basic technology of Shengyu is actually the most important part of cutting-edge academics;

There are various technical authorization accumulations at home and abroad.

More than 70% of the laboratory members are Ph.D. graduates at home and abroad.

Just one thing, Shengyu has applied for thousands of communications standard patents, most of which are related to 5G.

But basically no royalties were paid.

It accounts for the number of patents and uses the patent law to apply for non-payment revocation for rolling protection.

In this way, the priority can be occupied or not disclosed, and the patent protection period can be extended by renewing the priority with new applications again and again.

It's a kind of basic exercise.

What's interesting is that the research of Shengyu Labs does not cost much. In addition to technical reserves and basic R&D environmental expenditures, the biggest expenditure is actually the salary of R&D personnel...

After listening to the report, Fang, who had also had a small job in his mind, always thought about it, and said: “A joint meeting in the afternoon requires the participation of some cooperative units such as Changguang Institute.”

"I'll coordinate." The executive director replied.

"I will help." Academician Wang followed.

"..."

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Xuejun, deputy director of the Changguang Institute, and others, and representatives of most of the cooperative scientific research units came to the laboratory.

Fang Nian sits in the middle.

The attitude is relaxed and at ease.

It's hard to ignore.

Zhang Xuejun also remembered the meeting more than two years ago, but he did not expect it to be like this when he met again.

Fang Nian glanced over the audience: "Good afternoon everyone, I'm Fang Nian, I’m seeing you for the first time, please take care of me."

"Fang is good."

"President Fang is too polite."

"..."

After a simple greeting, Fang Nian said straightforwardly: "I am sorry, in order not to delay everyone's more time, I will be straightforward."

"Luzhou Frontier is building a 12-inch wafer test line. In order to cooperate with this test line, Yingzhao will fully enter EUV lithography research. I hope everyone can provide the necessary support."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was stunned.

Including Academician Wang Yingchao.

"EUV?" Zhang Xuejun raised his eyebrows and said carefully, "President Fang, take the liberty to ask, you seem to have a soft spot for extreme ultraviolet?"

"In theory, only the most sophisticated lithography needs to use extreme ultraviolet lithography. DUV (deep ultraviolet) can theoretically achieve 7nm lithography with the immersion scheme. It seems that there is no need to fully enter EUV?"

"..."

All the people present here are knowledgeable people and have expressed their views.

Such as DUV technology accumulation and other issues.

After all, 85% of the five words "semiconductor equipment" in the name of the laboratory are aimed at:

The lithography machine in the front-end manufacturing of integrated circuits.

The lithography machine is actually a general term. The inside can be subdivided into front-end manufacturing, back-end packaging, lithography used in TFT (thin film transistor), and advanced lithography used in small and medium substrates.

The lithography machine within the general public's cognition is the front-end manufacturing lithography machine of integrated circuits...

Hearing everyone's different opinions, Fang Nian smiled slightly: "Aren't you guys working hard at DUV?"

"Frontier cannot be called the name Frontier for nothing, and the field of EUV is basically a winner-takes-all, which is in line with the goal of Frontier."

Academician Wang immediately said: "But ASML's EUV experimental machine was shipped to TSMC last year."

"..."

"This field requires huge investment."

"..."

Of course Fang Nian knew.

He is more aware that the gap between EUV lithography machines on a global scale is actually not too big.

Either I didn't think about it, or I gave up.

ASML is the only company that persists until the end.

What's interesting is that the final level actually depends on the degree of money spent and the degree of technology integration.

Of course, ASML is very fast. It started to invest in 2006 and launched the first EUV engineering prototype last year, and there is also a major customer of TSMC in use, verification and feedback.

but……

ASML is short of money. All the media reports related to ASML that Fang Nian has seen mentioned the customer joint investment plan initiated by ASML in July 2012.

This plan raised more than 5 billion euros of funds, half of which is used for EUV lithography research and development.

And because the EUV lithography machine has never been mass-produced, Samsung, TSMC, and Intel that participated in this plan have successively reduced their shares.

Money is also lacking frontiers.

But the frontier can not be short of money in a sense...

After everyone had discussed it, Fang Nian said calmly: “Frontier plans to invest US$1 billion in the first batch this year, including but not limited to global acquisition of related companies, patent licensing, and R&D investment;

In the three years from next year, the average annual net R&D investment of the frontier family will not be less than 5 billion yuan, and the follow-up will increase depending on the situation. "

The meeting room is quiet.

Fang Nian continued: “Secondly, Yinglu will take the lead in promoting a large pan-technology joint investment management unit. Yinglu will only undertake part of the research and development work and major capital investment, and each unit will do what it does best;

For example, Changguang works **** optical-related work, such as using micro-electronics to make assembly. "

"Coordinating the frontiers to get it done, including the funding of other units, etc., everyone consider giving us a reply."

Zhang Xuejun: "..."

"..."

Finally someone said weakly: "What about DUV?"

Hearing this, Fang Nian moved his eyelids slightly and smiled: "I almost forgot, Luzhou Frontier needs a domestic high-precision DUV lithography machine to conduct experiments, preferably a laboratory product, can you help?"

"..."

Zhang Xuejun deliberately took over the conversation: "You can help if you are busy. There is a laboratory that has a 90nm DUV lithography machine that is not easy to use and can be loaned to the frontier for free;

but……"

"I heard that some foreign companies like to list hundreds of difficult problems~www.ltnovel.com~ and then urge scientists to keep working hard..."

Before Zhang Xuejun finished speaking, Fang Nian looked over with a smile, and interrupted: "It seems that Zhang Suo is very well informed and understands some of our frontier internal styles."

"Actually, the frontier will usually take the'little whip'. I think the Baize Lab will look forward to cheering with you."

"..."

Zhang Xuejun: "..."

Everyone: "..."

wdnmd!

This frontier is not a good person, right?

cutting edge……

Isn't it that scary?

We are just scientific research dogs.

Thinking of something messy, his eyes inevitably looked at the young man sitting in the middle. The smiling face that looked like a spring breeze was somewhat devilish!
