Chapter 383: Not Bad

Fang Zhuo is not a person who looks ahead and behind.

He has a tendency in his mind, and the next step is to consider how to do things around this tendency.

The full-hearted statement from the leader is like a spark, igniting many ideas from the semiconductor project.

How important is a technical leader?

How important is a leader who has gone through the advanced technology process?

Still taking Liang Mengsong as an example, Fang Zhuo remembers the media's description of him. He took office at SMIC for 300 days and led the team to increase the yield rate of 14nm chips from 3% to 95%, reaching the mass production standard.

The specific value may be vague and inaccurate, but this huge improvement is unquestionable. It is the result of the hard work of the entire team, but it is also the result of the guidance of the technical leader.

Fang Zhuo feels that the value of such key technical figures is difficult to reflect with money.

Therefore, he set two small goals, first digging Hu Zhengming, and then digging Liang Mengsong.

How to dig? How to dig?

Famous schools such as USTC are the best implementation platform.

If it were Shanghai, even if Fang Zhuo asked leaders like Zheng Danrui and Qiu Di to ask Jiaotong University to recruit talents internationally, they would at most really help and try hard. If they failed, it would be a failure.

This is not the case with USTC.

When this university moved out of Beijing, several cities refused due to reasons such as "no food quota", but Luzhou, Anhui Province, gave land, food, and money to keep USTC.

At that time, Luzhou disbanded the Normal School to vacate the school building for USTC. The whole province had no heating, but USTC had heating. The city was short of electricity, and USTC was the priority power supply unit...

The relationship between Luzhou, Anhui Province and USTC is unusual, and the influence of local leaders on the school is also different.

Therefore, Wang Shushan took Fang Zhuo to the campus of USTC as the first stop. He had the confidence to say "Our USTC is willing to fully support" and "If teachers and students don't want to stay, the principal will do the work personally, and I will do the work personally, and there is absolutely no falsehood."

Fang Zhuo expanded his consideration of USTC's microelectronics to the energy that the entire school could exert, and suddenly everything became clear.

There is a theory of "six degrees of separation", which states that there are no more than six people between two strangers, and USTC may not need six people to mobilize people to contact Hu Zhengming, who previously taught at the University of California.

USTC can accept famous alumni, international academic collaborators, and even direct invitations.

Last time, Fang Zhuo watched Chen Jincheng of "Hanxin" become the dean of the newly established School of Microelectronics of Jiaotong University. If he really puts in the effort to "trick" Hu Zhengming and give him a title like honorary dean, what's wrong?

Of course, it is still unknown how USTC can operate specifically, but it is indeed worth looking forward to.

This is a "full-strength" verification.

On July 12, the "Ice Drink Plan" project team's inspection in Luzhou ended.

However, what the team and local leaders are most curious about is-what is the last condition that Mr. Fang put forward to Wang Shushan?

The two parties kept silent.

The local leaders did not dare to ask Wang Shushan, and the project team asked their doubts on the way back.

"What conditions could it be? What other conditions could it be?" Fang Zhuo said casually, "I just want to ask for more money. You know, I have always wanted to attract more investment."

Everyone believed it...I would be surprised if they believed it!

But the boss was unwilling to say it, and no one could do anything to him.

So far, the first round of city inspections has achieved mixed results.

In general, local governments are very enthusiastic about the project. The 1.3 billion price tag given by Yangcheng and Luzhou is jaw-dropping, and other preferential conditions are even more dazzling.

A 10 billion project, this is a 10 billion project!

And the last city to be inspected, Luzhou, its annual fiscal revenue is less than 10 billion!

Everyone in the team is proud to be able to participate in the inspection of such a project this time.

"Mr. Fang, please think more and be more cautious." Fudan Associate Professor Yu Jun has changed his position twice before and after, first denying Luzhou and then affirming Luzhou. It is the first time he has seen such a sincere leadership team.

This was different from what he had seen before, and it made him reflect on his views on certain things.

However, when he set foot on the land of Shanghai again and witnessed a prosperous corner of the entire city, Yu Jun was still a little confused and hesitant.

He could no longer give any opinions, and could only say "consider" and "be cautious" in the end.

"Haha, Professor Yu, you've worked really hard on this trip." Fang Zhuo's face was not worried or entangled, and he smiled, "I will think about it carefully, but no matter where I go, I have confidence in the future."

Yu Jun sighed: "This is my most unforgettable summer job, and I have confidence in Mr. Fang."

He paused slightly and said: "Sometimes I really feel that society is developing too fast. I just shook hands with the leaders of Luzhou in the morning, and before noon, we arrived in Shanghai. The times are progressing, and young people like Mr. Fang are the future of the country."

"The economy connects the north and the south, and the natural barriers become thoroughfares." Fang Zhuo shook his hand and joked, "I always thought I was the present of the country, but in Professor Yu's opinion, I still have a lot of room for improvement."

"Professor Yu, we have a chance to continue to cooperate next time. If the project is promoted, I will notify you as soon as possible."

Yu Jun shook his hand heavily and said something wrong. Mr. Fang is already one of the most dazzling business figures of this era, but his age sometimes makes people ignore this point.

The associate professor got on the car that sent him back to school with mixed feelings about the young president.

Fang Zhuo was able to arrange many things when he returned to Shanghai. If the project team members were leaving, they would be sent to their destination by a special car. If they had nothing to do, they would have dinner together in the evening.

Every member of the project team was paid, and dinner was just another thank you.

According to the plan, the "Ice Drink Plan" will still have a second round of city inspections. When that round is over, Fang Zhuo will also distribute a big red envelope.

However, before the second round of city inspections, which may become a formality, Fang Zhuo must also fulfill his words and make every effort to promote the progress of the project.

Yi Ke has already made an appointment with the person in charge of DCM Huaxia in Shanghai and set a meeting on the third day after knowing the boss's return.

This is the intended institution for SMIC's B round of financing before its listing, and it is also an investor that Fang Zhuo has high hopes for.

Compared with his consideration of DCM last time, this time he came back, he already had conditions offered by different cities and a draft contract from Luzhou.

So...

Before meeting DCM Huaxia, Fang Zhuo first made an appointment with SMIC's vice president Qiu Ciyun and reported to him on the progress of the project.

After hearing the various conditions of different cities, Qiu Ciyun was surprised that Luzhou could come up with 1.3 billion yuan in funds, but he was still quite hesitant about this choice.

"Luzhou... um..." Qiu Ciyun chewed on the name of this city with little presence, "I'm afraid that the city's foundation is not easy to make up."

Fang Zhuo said: "Steady and steady, I want to learn from SMIC, but I think SMIC's pace is too fast. A city like Luzhou is just right for calming down and building."

This is actually what Qiu Ciyun likes to hear. He has doubts about SMIC's rapid expansion.

However, the vice president's face was still solemn when he heard Fang Zhuo say this.

Fang Zhuo said again: "I asked Luzhou to poach Hu Zhengming from TSMC through USTC. They are willing to try their best. I think there is a certain hope."

Hu Zhengming?

Qiu Ciyun was stunned, and his solemn face gradually turned cloudy. He slowly said: "Well, Luzhou is also okay."

I went to the hospital to accompany the birth today. I will try to update in the next few days... The hospital's wifi... is not fast at all.
