Chapter 571 Chip
Seeing Sun Ninghui's righteous look, Hu Weiwu felt uncomfortable. But thinking of his wife and children and his chip dream, he made up his mind and said resolutely: "Director, I am very happy in the Academy of Sciences. Everyone is very nice and I have never been wronged. The reason I resigned is just to go to Zhonghai and join Fuda Microelectronics."
The expression on Sun Ninghui's face became even more serious - this was worse than being wronged. At least as the director, he could mediate minor disputes in the unit, but now Hu Weiwu was going to jump ship directly. How could this be possible?
Sun Ninghui looked at Bian Bo next to Hu Weiwu and asked, "You too?"
Bian Bo was not as sentimental as Hu Weiwu. He said confidently, "Yes. Director Sun, our institute's annual funding is not even a fraction of Fuda Microelectronics's. There is no sign of the Loongson project. It is uncertain whether the project can be implemented. Old Hu and I are both in our thirties. How much time do we have left to waste in this life?"
Thirty is the golden age for scientific research, when the knowledge accumulation is deep enough and the brain function has not yet begun to decline. When you are in your forties or fifties, your body will gradually be unable to bear it.
Therefore, if you fail to achieve results before then, your life may be wasted.
Since ancient times, talented people have emerged from youth, and a strong youth means a strong country. Whether in China or abroad, many people with great achievements have already possessed extraordinary abilities at a very young age, and have or bred great creativity and opportunities in advance, bringing huge opportunities to enterprises, society and mankind.
Einstein was 26 years old when he proposed the theory of special relativity.
Zhuge Liang was 26 years old when he made the Longzhong Plan.
When Mike Dell was 25 years old, Dell went public.
Throughout history, people in China and abroad have always considered their twenties and thirties to be the golden years of life. Generally, the career they pursue and the environment they live in during this time can influence their entire lives.
Hu Weiwu and Bian Bo are both in their thirties, and they both feel that they have no chance if they continue to spend time in the research institute.
After all, as a state-owned unit, all must obey the national strategy. No one can predict when the institute’s funding will be sufficient.
It’s just like what young people in later generations always say when they make fun of themselves: I believe that the country’s future is bright, but I just can’t see a way out.
Compared to the size of a country, a person's life is short in most cases. So we must learn to think for ourselves.
Sun Ninghui wanted to say something, but he knew the current situation of the institute better than anyone else. He belonged to the management, which was of course different from the R&D staff. Research and development and creation are the work of youth, and now the two of them are at the age when inspiration bursts out the most, but they are trapped in shallow water. It has to be said that this is a very cruel thing.
After thinking for a few minutes, Sun Ninghui sighed and said, "I also know that things are very difficult in the institute right now. In fact, the consensus of the whole society is that now that trade is free, everyone should just take advantage of their strengths. There is really no need to engage in research and development. I have also heard about the development of Fuda Microelectronics, and I have to say that Lu Yiming is very determined to make chips. Since both of you have decided to leave, then I wish you a bright future and a glorious journey."
Bian Bo smiled and said, "Director Sun is very generous! Don't worry, when the two of us make our own top-level chips, we will definitely report to you."
Hu Weiwu let out a long sigh and said, "I also want to make chips as soon as possible. This kind of thing can't be delayed. We are already behind. If we delay any further, we will never catch up."
Sun Ninghui nodded and said, "I know. I feel the same as you do. So, I hope to hear good news as soon as possible."
If he went to other private or foreign companies, Sun Ninghui would definitely stop him.
However, Fuda Microelectronics is different. Lu Yiming's plan to invest 10 billion yuan is too shocking.
It is not impossible for the Xia Kingdom to mobilize such a large sum of money, but it will definitely not invest all of it in the semiconductor field.
Therefore, looking around the country, if we want to develop the semiconductor industry, only Fuda Microelectronics can take up the banner.
It cannot be said that Hu Weiwu and Bian Bo's going to seek refuge was a waste of talent.
China Overseas Software Industrial Park.
FuRi University Microelectronics Group Co., Ltd.
Shi Lei and Yu Jun are excitedly taking over a batch of new equipment.
I have to say, it feels great to hold on to the thigh of a financial sponsor.
In the past, they could only dream of buying any equipment, after all, they had too little money to spend. It was not like now, when people spend money lavishly. If they needed any equipment, they would just go to Lu Yiming. As long as it could be bought with money, Lu Yiming would buy it without even frowning.
It was the first time that Shi Lei and Yu Jun experienced the pleasure and satisfaction of spending money like water.
At this time, Lu Yiming walked in, looked at the packaging bags and cartons on the ground, and said with a smile: "It seems that some of the new equipment we ordered has arrived one after another. It's just right that we can get them all into the laboratory for installation and debugging."
Seeing Lu Yiming coming, Shi Lei and Yu Jun immediately greeted him respectfully.
"Boss Lu, I've never felt so good as I do today. Haha, I never dared to dream of these instruments and equipment before."
"That's right. With these world-class equipment, our pace of chip research and development will surely be greatly accelerated!"
Seeing the two of them working so hard, Lu Yiming was naturally very happy and said, "That's good. You don't have to worry about these. If you need anything in the future, just report to me and I'll go buy it. I came here today because I heard that a batch of instruments and equipment had arrived, and I also wanted to introduce you to two new colleagues in our company. They are both from Xia Ke Institute, but they came from Beijing. I don't know if you know them."
"Who is it?" Shi Lei asked.
Lu Yiming said: "Hu Weiwu and Bian Bo."
Yu Jun said: "I've heard of him, but I don't know him. Xia Institute of Science is so big, and we don't work together."
Lu Yiming was really happy about Hu Weiwu's arrival, and his happiness was definitely no less than that of Huang Lingyi's promise to come to Fu Ri Microelectronics .
After all, Hu Weiwu is the "Father of Loongson".
Today, FuDa Microelectronics is lacking a project leader who can coordinate the overall situation.
Although Hu Weiwu is still very young, only 30 years old, he is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.
Lu Yiming took out two files and said, "These are some of their information. You can take a look at them first and get familiar with them. You will be colleagues in the future. They should be here in more than an hour. I will go to the airport to pick them up first."
As soon as Lu Yiming left, Yu Jun and Shi Lei started discussing.
Yu Jun said with emotion: "Boss Lu went to the airport to greet him personally? He seems to be a big shot."
Shi Lei flipped through the information and said, "This Bian Bo is quite standard, just an average researcher. This Hu Weiwu was awarded the title of the Fifth Outstanding Youth of the Academy of Sciences, plus the Academy of Sciences Yingke Outstanding Young Scholar Award. He is so outstanding at such a young age, so he must be very capable."
Yu Jun clapped his hands and suddenly realized something. He said, "I was wondering why this name sounded familiar. I must have heard it at the last award ceremony. After all, the whole hospital was there ."
Shi Lei said, “It should be.”
Yu Jun looked at Hu Weiwu's education experience again and asked in confusion, "He ranked first in science in Yongkang City and 29th in Zhejiang Province? Although he can be called excellent, is it necessary for Mr. Lu to receive him in person?"
Not to mention being the city's top scholar, with Lu Yiming's current social status, even if he was the provincial or national top scholar, what would that mean in front of him?
There are several top students in Fudan University's Microelectronics Laboratory, but can't they just help out?
Hu Weiwu's talent has not yet been revealed, so Shi Lei and Yu Jun naturally don't understand why Lu Yiming treats him differently.
Shi Lei, on the other hand, said thoughtfully, "To be valued so much by Mr. Lu, these two people must have some extraordinary qualities. We will just observe them carefully in the future."
At the airport, Lu Yiming's private plane "Yiming" landed on the runway and taxied slowly. After more than ten minutes, Hu Weiwu and Bian Bo came out of the exit. Lu Yiming saw their photos and quickly recognized them. He walked up to introduce himself and said, "Hello, I am Lu Yiming, welcome to join Fu Ri Microelectronics."
Seeing Lu Yiming coming to pick them up in person, Hu Weiwu and Bian Bo were very moved. They truly felt Lu Yiming's desire and attention for talents.
You know, Lu Yiming is respected as the richest man in Xia Country. To the two of them, two small researchers, they are not on the same level.
When Bian Bo saw Lu Yiming, it was as if he saw his idol. Although he was a generation older than Lu Yiming, in terms of achievements, there was a huge difference.
Lu Yiming's attention was basically focused on Hu Weiwu.
"I really didn't expect that you two would take the initiative to work at Fu Ri Microelectronics. Mr. Hu, I'm very curious, why did you choose to change jobs? Xia Ke Institute is a golden rice bowl."
A wise bird finds a good tree to roost in. Although Hu Weiwu does not care much about money and treatment, he also wants to know how determined Lu Yiming is to make chips.
Therefore, Hu Weiwu did not directly answer Lu Yiming's question, but instead asked: "Mr. Lu, you spend so much money, what if the chip you make cannot bring you enough benefits? What will you do then?"
Lu Yiming laughed. As an employee, Hu Weiwu actually wanted to "test" his boss?
However, such idealistic and ambitious "employees" are exactly the talents most needed in the current chip project. After all, if there is no awareness and perseverance, how can one give it a try in this field where there is no hope or future?
Therefore, in response to Hu Weiwu's question, Lu Yiming said calmly: "Making money is too easy for me, so I want to do something more challenging."
Hu Weiwu and Bian Bo were surprised by Lu Yiming's answer. They originally thought that Lu Yiming was interested in the economic benefits that would be brought about by the success of the chip project.
Lu Yiming did not hide anything and said to them directly: "Technology is the right to speak. If the technology is not strong enough, there will be no right to speak in the world, and you will be bullied wherever you go."
After hearing this, the two were also filled with indignation.
After all, those who devote themselves to scientific research can be exposed to many more things than ordinary people.
Lu Yiming clenched his fists, his eyes full of indignation: "I am now worth billions. Making money is as simple as eating and drinking for me, but I want to live with dignity. So no matter what, I must make chips, whether it takes ten or twenty years, whether it costs ten billion or one hundred billion, I will smash my way out."
Clearly, it was just the arrogant talk of a young man, but it was also full of arrogance and heroism, which made Hu Weiwu and Bian Bo's blood boil.
If others said this kind of thing, they would just be regarded as empty talk, but Lu Yiming was different. He was investing real money in the chip project.
Hu Weiwu, who was originally a little hesitant, was now convinced by Lu Yiming and laughed, "It's not easy. Looking across the country, no one is more determined than you, Mr. Lu. What's more, you are still so young, and your future achievements will surely be limitless. I am now looking forward to you taking Xiaguo's chip industry to the world."
Lu Yiming said seriously: "I have this ideal, but what I need more is talent. With talents like you two joining me, I will be even more powerful."
Seeing the two of them looking so idealistic, Lu Yiming secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had just spoken with great emotion and righteousness, he was actually doing it for the sake of making money. After all, the fat piece of meat in the semiconductor industry was too tempting. Who wouldn't want to take a bite if there was a chance?
This is a super market worth trillions or even tens of trillions!
No, it's not about the money!
In the future, where will we not need chips for food, clothing, housing, transportation, the sky and the sea?
By then, the demand for chips will be like air. Whoever controls the chips will be able to control all of humanity!
Lu Yiming took out two keys and said to Hu Weiwu and Bian Bo, "These are the keys to your new house. I have prepared them. You can move in now. Tomorrow morning, you two will take your ID cards to the Talent Center of Fu Ri University Microelectronics Group Co., Ltd. in Zhonghai Software Industrial Park to handle the entry procedures and salary and benefits. My rules of doing things here are very simple, that is, you get what you sow. As long as you make a breakthrough, I will give you corresponding rewards."
As soon as they met, they gave him a house. This treatment was really unparalleled. Bian Bo thought about how he was still renting a house in Beijing, and now he felt like crying.
"Don't worry, Mr. Lu. We chose to come here and didn't plan to just waste our time. We also want to produce results as soon as possible."
"That's good."
With Hu Weiwu's status, he was definitely assigned a villa, while Bian Bo was assigned a fully furnished house in the same community. However, Bian Bo had no complaints in his heart, after all, when they were in the Computer Institute of Xiake Academy, their levels were different.
After visiting Hu Weiwu's villa, Bian Bo's fighting spirit was aroused. Now the two of them came to Fu Ri Microelectronics together, and they can be said to be "standing on the same starting line". Bian Bo felt that as long as he worked hard enough and had a little luck, he might not be unable to live in a villa in the future.
In the villa, Hu Weiwu saw an envelope. Just as he was reading the letter, his wife Qi Qiulan called him.
"Have you reached Zhonghai?"
Hu Weiwu said, "I'm here. I just got to where I'm staying. Lu Yiming gave me the right to use a villa. I'll take you over once I'm settled. I was just reading a letter that Mr. Lu wrote to me. He said he was planning to make me a project leader."
Qi Qiulan was very happy to hear that Hu Weiwu had moved into the villa. She said, "Great, your luck has turned. Hey, how is it to be a team leader?"
Hu Weiwu said: "The tentative annual salary is 300,000 yuan, and it will be re-evaluated after the project is successful."
When Qi Qiulan heard this, she was immediately excited: "Three hundred thousand annual salary! You didn't lie to me, did you?"
You know, Hu Weiwu’s previous monthly salary at the Academy of Sciences was only 800 yuan. Although there were other benefits in the unit, it was still far from an annual salary of 300,000 yuan. The gap was dozens of times!
But it was clear that Hu Weiwu didn't care about these things. He said to Qi Qiulan excitedly, "The research conditions here are really great. Money is the bottom line. Compared with Fudan University of Microelectronics, the Institute of Computer Science at the Academy of Sciences is like a beggar's den."
Qi Qiulan couldn't help laughing and said, "How can you be like this? You just joined the new company and you speak so badly of your old employer? Since the conditions are good, you must perform well. I am still waiting for your annual salary of one million."
If the words "annual salary of one million" were put before, Qi Qiulan would not even dare to think about it. After all, Hu Weiwu's annual salary is less than 10,000 yuan at most. It has increased a hundred times in an instant. It is simply a myth.
Hu Weiwu was full of enthusiasm at this time, and immediately said: "You don't need to tell me this, I will also work hard. Money doesn't matter. After all, I have an annual salary of 300,000 yuan now, so much money that I can't spend it all. What I feel is that I finally don't have to squander my youth and waste my time in the Computer Institute of the Xia Academy of Sciences. I will report to work tomorrow, organize my previous research results, and start working."
"Okay, Jiajia and I will fully support you. Don't forget your dream and make a first-class chip with independent intellectual property rights!"
"Um !"
After returning to Lu Family Garden from the airport, Lu Yiming was just about to take a shower and start playing games when he suddenly received a call from Guo Guangchang.
“Junior, Stephen Lu wants to invite you to dinner.”
