It is impossible to only engage in technology research and development without integrating it with the market. Lao Maozi's Caspian Sea Monster did not develop in the end. A big reason is that there is no market demand. By the time it develops the flower-tailed pigeon and carries anti-ship missiles on its back, the country has no money.

.

Now, small ground-effect aircraft can be put into commercial operation after test flights. Compared with seaplanes, its biggest features are fuel efficiency, long range, and large cargo capacity. Compared with ships, its speed is

It’s fast, so if you find the right market, you can sell it.

It has now reached the test flight stage, and it needs to be built and tested for flight.

Qin Tao helped contact Factory 320. After all, he had a good relationship with Factory 320. When he got in touch, he was even more excited: the replica of the T-45 trainer aircraft had been built and was undergoing test flights.

, after completing the test flight subjects, they can be sent to the Wasteland Village base for the naval aviation there to train.

Those pilots have simulated flying hundreds of times on the ground, and they are just short of the final actual flight. After this trainer aircraft comes up, it will definitely be of great use. You can't just talk on paper and practice on the simulator.

It’s time to get practical.

Good news comes one after another.

In mid-October, SMIC completed the project!

On this day, early in the morning, Qin Tao excitedly came to the factory site of SMIC: a high-tech park.

SMIC and Loongson are almost next to each other. Because Loongson is engaged in design, the project progresses faster and has already started working. However, SMIC took a year to complete the project.

Infrastructure projects completed.

Pudong New Area is undergoing earth-shaking changes, with various high-rise buildings rising from the ground. However, in this high-tech park, only two building complexes have been built.

When the car drove to the door, Qin Tao saw the string of firecrackers hanging at the door with suspicion on his face.

"Why, after our large factory is completed and put into operation, we only have a string of 1,000-gun firecrackers?"

At this time, there were already a lot of people waiting at the door. Qin Tao got out of the car while talking. Of course, his complaints were heard by others.

Zhang Rujin's face was slightly embarrassed: "Mr. Qin, money must be spent wisely!"

In this era, even if a barber shop opens, tens of thousands of firecrackers must be set off, but SMIC does not. Although Zhang Rujin holds a huge amount of US$500 million in his hands, he is like Grandet.

, very stingy.

When he was on a business trip, he only took economy class. Once, a TV station asked him to record a program, and he took the subway there alone!

Now that the project was completed and put into production, he was reluctant to spend money. He just spent ten yuan to buy a thousand firecrackers as a celebration.

These are all empty, he wants to spend the money on useful things!

"Zhengyang, go buy another 50,000 firecrackers with my salary." Qin Tao said to Xu Zhengyang who was driving.

Xu Zhengyang nodded and drove away. Zhang Rujin's expression calmed down: "Thank you, Mr. Qin."

"There is no need to save money. If it is not enough, our group will continue to invest. Even if it is a failure, we will give full support." Qin Tao said.

Zhang Rujin nodded.

A person next to him spoke: "Many people are optimistic about our company. As long as we go public in the future, there will be no problem in financing."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Qin Tao: "We are not going public. This is a restricted area for SMIC's business operations."

The man's words were boring and he blushed so much that he didn't dare to say anything anymore.

Fifty thousand firecrackers do not need to be hung on the gate, they can be laid directly on the ground in front of the gate. At this time, all the leaders of Huating City came, including Xu Di, the big leader, and Jiang Zhou, who was in charge of economy and industry.

"Leader Xu, please give us a speech." Qin Tao said with a smile.

Leader Xu shook his head: "Mr. Qin, it's up to you to do the talking."

"It's up to you to do whatever you want. I'm a guest here. Leader Xu, it's up to you to come."

Leader Xu declined three times before walking to the microphone with excitement on his face.

"We in Huating City used to have shipbuilding industry, aircraft industry and automobile industry. Now, these industries are developing very well. However, these are old industries after all. Now, we will have an emerging microelectronics industry! I believe

, our SMIC will definitely develop into a large global company, go out of Asia and go global!"

There was a burst of applause below.

"Please rest assured that the city will be your strong backing. The conditions offered by the city will not change. No taxes will be collected from SMIC within five years. Supporting schools, hospitals, etc. will be established."

!”

After saying this, Xu Di looked at Qin Tao with a smile: "Okay, I'm done, it's your turn."

SMIC has the background of Mingzhou Group. Will it cause problems to the development of the company? Qin Tao is not sure. However, it is impossible to clear up the relationship. He started negotiating with Sanhang Company from the beginning.

, it is impossible for the Mingzhou Group to hide, so now it is open and generous.

"Microelectronics technology is developing rapidly, and our motherland has fallen far behind the world's advanced level." Qin Tao's tone was a little low: "In the past few years, in order to catch up with the world's advanced level, our country has carried out the 531 Project and the 908 Project. However,

Due to some reasons, these projects have failed. Even if they are introduced, they are still facing the point of falling behind. Therefore, our Mingzhou Group has stood up, given full play to the advantages of our private enterprises, invested in the establishment of SMIC, and we hope that our motherland

The chip industry can develop rapidly! SMIC places our infinite hopes on the chip industry!"

"Some of you are energetic college students, and some are returned overseas Chinese. Please rest assured that Mingzhou Group is your strong backing and will solve all your worries. Your mission is to put this production line into operation as soon as possible to produce related electronic products.

!”

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In the past year, Zhang Rujin has been running back and forth, not only to oversee the construction of the factory, but also to find talents. Relying on his personal charm, he summoned more than a hundred Chinese Americans.

, becoming the backbone of SMIC.

These people gave up their generous treatment in the United States and resolutely returned to China. Of course, Qin Tao cannot let them suffer any injustice. These are the most precious scientific and technological talents!

"Employees and relatives, with the support of the city and the support of the group, what else can we say? From today on, we will work hard to build SMIC into the world's largest chip foundry!" The final round

When Zhang Rujin spoke, he was very excited. His ideal was finally coming true!

The crackling sound of firecrackers sounded.

The smell of gunpowder smoke spread throughout the factory, and the sound of firecrackers echoed over SMIC, over Pudong, over Huating, and over the entire motherland!

The world's famous chip foundry started from this moment. As soon as it was established, it brought the chip technology of the East to the same level as the world!

A group of people walked into the factory.

If you want to enter the workshop, you need to wear special full-body protective clothing and undergo special dust-free treatment. Therefore, Qin Tao did not intend to go in. He couldn't understand it anyway. He just walked along the road outside the factory with everyone.

Walk on the road.

On both sides of the road, there are trees that have just been planted in Huating. If they were transplanted in the north, it would be impossible to succeed at this season.

A slightly cold wind blew from the sea, but everyone's heart felt warm.

"Mr. Zhang, I will leave this place to you from now on. I hope it can become a world-class chip foundry." Qin Tao said.

Zhang Rujin nodded: "Of course there is no problem, we will work hard."

"Currently, there will be quite a lot of domestic orders. However, we still need to work hard to develop overseas markets. Only by becoming a world-class foundry can we be considered truly successful."

Although when the production line was first introduced, Sanhang Group was told to produce 64 MB memory modules. However, after the entire production line was established, not only memory modules but also other products could be produced.

For example, now that we have entered the 2G era, Qin Tao has long since abandoned his Big Brother and replaced it with the compact Ericsson. Although mobile phones cannot be produced in China, the demand for mobile phone cards is still quite large.

Domestic telecommunications giants can't wait to place orders with SMIC.

There are other orders coming in like snowflakes. It can be said that in the first year or two since its establishment, SMIC did not have to worry about orders at all.

Zhang Rujin continued to nod: "Yes, of course we have to work hard to expand overseas markets. I am already mobilizing my old relationships to try to build a relationship with Qualcomm and do OEM work for Qualcomm."

Qin Tao glanced at Zhang Rujin with satisfaction: "Yes, we are going to dig orders from TSMC and squeeze TSMC out of business. I will give you three days of celebration wine!"

After walking around the factory, Qin Tao finished what he needed to say. Anyway, Qin Tao himself didn't understand those specific technologies.

The leaders of Huating City also walked with them. Now, when they walked to the door again, Qin Tao said with a smile: "We at SMIC can work hard without any worries, thanks to the support of all the leaders."

"That's right." Xu Di said: "We originally had a radio component factory in Huating, but now they have been eliminated. Compared with the factories in front of us, they are like handicraft workshops. We are lagging behind.

Factories can be eliminated, but the industry must continue. Our city has no problem and firmly supports it!"

Jiang Zhou didn't say anything. He was very excited. He had been looking at this project. As a top student in the Department of Electronics at Tsinghua University, he even had an idea: leave the government and come here to do a career!

"Lao Jiang, do you want to come to our SMIC?" Qin Tao suddenly asked.

Jiang Zhou was stunned. Mr. Qin was such a capable person! How could he understand what he was thinking?

Xu Di smiled: "Mr. Qin, you are too powerful. You actually want to recruit people from our government! Lao Jiang can't leave now. He has to continue to escort you SMIC. In a few years, when you

Core International has grown and grown, and if he wants to go, we won’t stay and will hold a lively farewell party to send him over.”

Amid laughter, everyone got on the bus.

"Xiang Yang, since we are here, let's go to Godson Company to have a look."

It's been a long time since I've been to Loongson Company, and I don't know how the research and development projects there are going. Qin Tao has some expectations in his heart.

SMIC is a foundry. This is its positioning. It is responsible for manufacturing. As for design, it is other companies.

Loongson Corporation develops the most critical processor chips, which is also the Mount Everest of the chip industry.

How are Mr. Ni and the others doing?

Loongson Company is also very busy.

When entering the company building, Qin Tao saw a big thing placed in the front hall. It was placed inside a transparent glass cover, and one could see integrated circuits one after another, densely packed with lines like spider silk.
