If the first two characters are character defects and too fraternity, and thus are in big trouble, the third guy is a bit bad in nature.

It can even be said that what they did made people angry.

This guy, named Zhao Renhao, 47 years old, is a savvy professional manager and is currently the CEO of Z Guolixin International.

Lixin International is the third private company in the country Z that produces wafers larger than 12 inches. Its monthly output reaches 30,000 wafers, and it has introduced a more advanced 28nm process technology. The state-of-the-art 10nm process is more than three generations behind, but in the country of Z, it is considered a very high-tech wafer factory.

After all, under the severe blockade of foreign countries, it can independently break through the 28nm large-size wafer production process, and the domestic wafer companies in country Z can count over a slap.

Lixin International has such achievements, thanks to one person, that person is Zhao Renhao, who has been in Lixin International for five years as the executive president.

Zhao Renhao used to be the general manager of the technology department for 5 years at Aijidian of Baodao,

The company is the largest wafer foundry company in the world, with the most advanced 10nm wafer production process, and the technology is second to none in the world.

During his work in Aiji Electric Company, Zhao Renhao's outstanding work ability made a very outstanding contribution to the company's market share and performance.

Only because the salary is too low, under the temptation of Lixin International's 10% stake + 100 million yuan in annual salary, Zhao Renhao decisively chose to change jobs. In Lixin International, it is five years.

In the past five years, Zhao Renhao has lived up to expectations and led Lixin International to achieve many breakthroughs from zero to some, giving the company investors great confidence. The company ’s scientific research team is full of vitality and has a large number of outstanding talents. After two years, after the company's wafer production process has once again achieved a breakthrough from 28 to 22 nanometers, Lixin International's market performance will also be booming.

The technical team is confident and the investors are confident ... But Zhao Renhao, the executive president, is becoming less and less confident.

Why do you say that?

Performance.

Mainly because of the company's performance, it has not been significantly improved.

The annual sales of wafers are less than 500 million, and the investment in scientific research exceeds 300 million per year. After deducting various costs, Lixin International will lose 300 million per year.

Lixin gave 10% of Zhao Renhao's shares. During the past five years, he didn't get a penny.

It is not that Lixin International does not want to make achievements, but the 28nm process, which is more than three generations behind the international mainstream. The wafers produced by Lixin International, except for the next batch of support orders from the State Council, are not at all competitive in the private market.

If you want to make achievements, unless Lixin International, you can immediately achieve the international mainstream 10 nanometer process, or a slightly worse 12 nanometer.

At 28nm, it is too far behind, without any competitiveness, and can only survive in the low-end market.

If we increase investment and speed up R & D, can we catch up with it within a few years and realize the 10nm process? Isn't it at the same level as other wafer companies?

Shook his head.

This is impossible.

First of all, the craft gap of more than three generations cannot be caught up in a few years, and it may take ten or twenty years.

Secondly, even if it catches up within a few years, competitors will not stand still and wait for you. They may have popularized the more advanced 7nm and 5nm processes. You are still two or three generations behind others and still not competitive.

The consequence of not being competitive is that it cannot achieve a large amount of profit in the civilian market, invest in the research and development of new processes and products, cannot make blood on its own, and cannot develop normally. As a result, it will always lag behind people.

The leader, supported by huge profits, can continually invest in R & D, maintain his leading edge, and form a complete production-research-production-production cycle, and finally stay ahead.

Latecomers who want to overtake, unless the leader makes a fatal mistake, there is no possibility.

So after five years of hard work, only Zhao Renhao, who was discouraged and ambitious, had the intention to give up.

He is ready to accept the invitation of the Samsung company of Baroque Country as the general manager of the technology department of the company's fab.

However, when he was about to send an email to reply to Samsung, the deep and charming branch of Technology Tree appeared in front of him.

22nm process wafer production technology, free of charge.

18nm process wafer production technology, purchase price: 50 million.

14nm process wafer production technology, purchase price: 100 million.

10nm process ... purchase price: 200 million.

There are also 7nm, 5nm and 3nm processes, and the purchase price between hundreds of millions and more than one billion is completely beyond Zhao Renhao's expectations.

Cheap, it's too cheap!

These processes, even for the free 22nm, require at least billions of research and development funds to achieve breakthroughs.

The smaller the post-production process, the higher the R & D price may be 10 billion, 100 billion, or trillion.

The exchange price of this website is only a few billion ...

Zhao Renhao turned his eyes and immediately came up with an idea.

First rejected Samsung's invitation, and then skipped the 22-14nm process, spent 200 million, and directly purchased the 10nm process.

Then, with this information, within the scope of country Z, contact a foundry company similar to Lixin International and sell it privately.

Not bad!

Zhao Renhao does not plan to lead his scientific research team and devote himself to the new process of wafer production. He put most of his energy on selling technology as a "second trader".

Lixin International's R & D funds have almost been consumed. Even if there are funds, it takes about 3-5 years to get through the 10nm process.

If you want to step into the 7nm process and stand at the same level as the leading companies, you need to spend tens of billions of dollars to purchase advanced equipment such as single-crystal ion implanters and lithography machines, and more than 5 years.

Colicore International does not have so much money. As for equipment such as ion implanters and lithography machines, they cannot be purchased abroad and can only be developed by themselves.

However, the manufacturing technology of these devices is included in the "wafer processing technology" of the technology tree network, which is of a supporting nature.

These technologies are worth tens of billions.

Zhao Renhao's mind moved, and he didn't want to waste any more time, selling all these technologies, he wanted to make a fortune!

Yes, Zhao Renhao, who graduated from the University of Finance major, has never been a sage. He entered the wafer foundry industry because he is optimistic about the prospects of this industry. From AJIC to Lixin International, he also depends on the 10% stake and Above the annual salary of hundreds of millions, there has never been any element of faith in it.

If you want to talk about faith, it may be the same as all financial professionals, who believe in money.

Always study how to get the most money in the shortest time.

Therefore, in the face of these wafer processing technologies opened by the technology tree network, Zhao Renhao first thought of selling and reselling the technology to strive to sell to more customers.

And these customers can be wafer companies in country Z, Samsung companies in stick countries, Toshiba companies in foot countries ...

So, he distributed some technical information to these companies through his personal network, which attracted the attention of these companies and ... great interest.

Because the Science and Technology Tree Network has the "not to spread the technical information of this website to foreign countries", after purchasing and copying the full set of technical information of "10nm wafer production process", bring the information, secretly sneak, prepare to take the plane, go to the stick Zhao Renhao, who traded in China, was still noticed by his assistant Yiyi.

Because every bound person ’s whereabouts, assistant Yiyi will carry out monitoring ~ www.readwn.com ~ Whether its passenger cars, trains, planes, as long as their identity information appears in these transportation systems, they will be detected and locked.

Zhao Renhao, who is waiting at the airport, was taken away by a group of agents of the National Security Agency, and it was unknown where he was taken.

In short, for quite a long time since then, Zhao Renhao, like the world has evaporated, no one can find it.

That technical information was also successfully left on the land of country Z.

The Zhao Renhao incident made Zhou Ming realize that it would be more and more difficult in the future to want to ensure that the technology tree network is not exposed and to prevent the technical data from flowing out.

Someone will definitely find a way to transfer these technical materials abroad, and in a flash, the wealth will increase from zero to billions.

Because no industry in this world is as profitable as this industry.

In any industry, there is no such thing as quick money.

How to prevent the leakage of technical information has become a very difficult problem before Zhou Ming.
