Chapter 480 Hidden Minions

The three visitors concluded their visit to Professor Hu Zhengming.

Fang Zhuo left a message, and the two young engineers left a photo and two papers.

It was afternoon when we arrived, and the sky was already dark when we left.

The three of them walked silently on the campus of the University of Science and Technology, with the occasional chatter and laughter of passing students heard in their ears.

Seeing that he was approaching the school gate, Fang Zhuo suddenly came to his senses and stopped.

"Sit for a while, I'll call a car."

When I came here today, I took Secretary-General Luo Minhua's special car. Fang Zhuo couldn't keep people waiting, so he remembered that he didn't call his car over.

There was a corridor on campus, and Fang Zhuo took the lead in walking there and sat down to wait.

He subconsciously wanted to smoke but found nothing. The cigarettes in his pocket were all used up on the way here.

At this time, Liu Mingde, who was seconded from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, couldn't help but ask about today's results: "Mr. Fang, will Professor Hu and Professor Hu agree to come to the ice core?"

Fang Zhuo temporarily put away the thoughts in his head and smiled at Liu Mingde and Xu Kaihuai, who did not speak but was also concerned about his answer: "I don't know, I can only say that I hope it is the answer that is most beneficial to the ice core."

Liu Mingde and Xu Kaihuai looked at each other with somewhat unwilling expressions. As people in the industry, they knew very well how much Professor Hu could promote ice cores.

What's more, they embarked on the path of semiconductors precisely because they had such a globally renowned hometown celebrity as a role model.

Liu Mingde and Xu Kaihuai were the two Bingxins who were attracted by Fang Zhuo in recent days with favors and promises.

When the richest man in the Mainland stands in front of you and talks about work in terms of salary, future, and industry, it is really difficult for people to refuse, especially in the most exciting youth stage of life.

Therefore, they also watched Mr. Fang's efforts to find a CTO for Bingxin. It can be said that he has devoted himself to finding a CTO. It can also be said that he has taken great pains. Things like forcibly adding another person before the deadline for the recommendation of foreign nationals are the most difficult of difficulties. .

However, this matter only had room for two sentences in today's exchange between Mr. Fang and Professor Hu.

The two of them even felt a little regretful, feeling that Mr. Fang should talk about the favors he owed and the efforts he had made to better convince Professor Hu.

Fang Zhuo saw the expressions of the young engineers and could probably guess what they were thinking, and said: "That's how things are done. We try our best and can only hope that the results will bring some good luck."

"Professor Hu is a very powerful person. I especially hope that he can come to Bingxin. There is no need to be taboo. To be very frank, this is also an important reason why I tried my best to find you."

Fang Zhuo was very honest and changed the topic: "But even if he doesn't come, won't the ice core develop?"

"No, we still have to develop firmly and look for more opportunities to grow."

Fang Zhuo looked at the thoughtful young man under the dusk and continued: "The development of ice cores requires uniting all forces that can be united. This is true for Professor Hu, and so is it for you. This is true for equipment procurement, and the same is true for fund raising."

What the young president said today was not impassioned, it was all straightforward.

Because that's what ice cores do.

"Losers often pretentiously seek rewards for doing something. We can't do this. We have to do everything we can and see what we can get."

"You will be happy when you win, and you will have no regrets when you lose."

Fang Zhuo's cell phone rang in his pocket. Bing Xin's car had arrived at HKUST.

He listened to the phone call for three seconds, and finally concluded the chat between himself and the young engineer: "After all, there is nothing else, just self-improvement."

"We must strengthen ourselves."

Liu Mingde and Xu Kaihuai chewed on Mr. Fang’s words, we must strengthen ourselves, we must strengthen ourselves.

"Let's go, have a good night's rest. You must be exhausted from running around with me these past two days." Fang Zhuo smiled at the two of them, got up and walked towards the school gate.

Liu Mingde and Xu Kaihuai followed Mr. Fang in a daze, leaving the University of Science and Technology and getting into the car, their emotions gradually stirring again.

Fang Zhuo didn't take the car. He wanted to be alone for a while tonight to clear his mind.

As dusk fell, the president and the engineer waved goodbye. The latter left the University of Science and Technology of China with the former’s high expectations and ran towards the direction of the ice core for the first time.

Fang Zhuo watched the car drive away and rubbed his face, feeling exhausted mentally and physically.

He looked back at the campus of the University of Ophthalmology, remembering the last time he came here.

But this time, I have completed a potentially extremely important lobbying. Judging from past experience, Professor Hu should have a high chance of agreeing to come to the ice core.

Maybe he won’t be the CTO, but he can play a big role as long as he comes. There is no doubt about this.

Fang Zhuo was walking alone on the streets of Luzhou, reviewing the dishes and planning to have something to eat.

For a long time, it was difficult for him to have half a day's leisure like this. The busyness and running around these days made this leisure time even more valuable.

Fang Zhuo arrived in Luzhou on the 24th. After thinking and hesitating for two days, he decided to finish the content that showed his sincerity first. After thinking about it for a long time, he went to find two young colleagues from Professor Hu’s ancestral home as a very good job. Weighty weights.

Facts have proved that this did have an effect on Professor Hu, who is about to enter his 60th year.

Professor Hu was born before the founding of the People's Republic of China, and was immediately taken to Treasure Island by his family. Fang Zhuo found it difficult to persuade him from the perspective of the country. This was an objective situation determined by his personal growth environment.

However, inheritance, hometown, old and young, professors and academicians, and the younger generation, these combined with the knowledge that the three of them had established a scholarship in their hometown in the name of the father and son, Fang Zhuo felt that he could give it a try.

In fact, he had not shown one thing. Liu Mingde was not only the winner of the first Hu Scholarship, but also the winner of the graduate student scholarship established by Hu Zhengming at Tsinghua University.

Lobbying must be done in moderation. Fang Zhuo felt that the previous mode was enough, just like he did not mention his busyness in the past few days and the favors he owed.

In fact, it is okay to owe favors, which is not terrible, and you can pay them back slowly.

In particular, he felt more valued on this trip to Beijing.

However, as Professor Hu Zhengming was confident before, this matter was just a matter of time for him, so Fang Zhuo made a decisive decision not to mention it.

Fang Zhuo repeatedly thought about the communication with Professor Hu and still thought it was a good start.

Professor Hu has a non-compete agreement, which will not be lifted until the end of next year. From now until then, Bingxin can do more contact work because of this good start.

In addition, this exchange with Professor Hu made Fang Zhuo think more about the possible changes in TSMC.

This leading enterprise has reached the time for internal power change. It is said that Zhang Zhongmou has praised his proud subordinate Cai Lixing more than once, and he has the intention of handing TSMC over to that person.

Fang Zhuo is not sure what TSMC is like during this period, but he knows that it is still controlled by Zhang in the end.

He strongly suspects that the power change that seems to be inevitable now is due to the global financial crisis in 2008, so that TSMC in his impression is still controlled by Zhang Zhongmou.

So, Bingxin's real opportunity is three or four years later?

At that time, the global financial crisis spread to the upstream and downstream semiconductor industry chain, Hu Zhengming and Liang Mengsong passed the non-compete agreement, the domestic economic boom increased the terminal market size, and smartphones ushered in a new era of earth-shaking changes...

On the last night of March, Fang Zhuo went into a snack bar on the street in Luzhou alone, eating while thinking about the development situation in the next few years.

Bingxin, it is not time for it to shine yet. What we need to do now is to be steady, accumulate strength, do everything we can, and wait for the development of the times and the mistakes of our opponents.

Just like a tiger lying on a barren hill, lurking claws and teeth to endure.

One day, Bingxin will let the world see its brilliance.
