November 20th.

Originally, Zhang Qing was going to leave for the United States immediately, but the plan did not change quickly. Good news came from Yu Tianci...

Nothing could stop Zhang Qing, but there was really no way around this matter.

Yu Tianci called Zhang Qing and told Zhang that he now hoped to meet Zhang Qing for an interview.

But basically it's not a big problem.

He told Zhang Qing that Zhang is a very thoughtful person and is a rare Chinese-American who has great goodwill towards the mainland.

Naturally, Zhang Qing cannot be careless. He has great respect for the man who was later called the father of China's semiconductors!

This person is a pure person.

…

Pingjing International Airport.

Because this visit was a secret one, Zhang Qing did not make any fanfare, and only three Audis were waiting.

At 12 o'clock at noon, at the FBO channel, Yu Tianci and Zhang Xin arrived on time by taking the Yu family's private plane.

After Zhang Qingxian and Yu Tianci warmly embraced each other, he held Zhang Jin's hand with both hands and bowed: "Mr. Zhang, thank you for your trust."

Zhang now had no idea that Zhang Qing would be so respectful. During his conversation with Yu Tianci, Yu Tianci described Zhang Qing as a top genius and also talked about his cold and arrogant character...

But right now...

After Zhang now reacted, he shook hands warmly and said: "Mr. Zhang... Haha, we were a family five hundred years ago. Mr. Zhang, just call me Richard."

Zhang Qing also smiled and said: "Since we are a family, I will be shameless and call you Uncle Zhang. You can just call me Qingzi."

Yu Tianci said "Wow" and said speechlessly: "Qingzi, are you treating one too favorably? I've run so many legs and done so many things for you, but you've never had such respect for me! You don't even have respect for my daddy.

Such respect!"

Zhang Qing smiled and said: "Victor, although Uncle Zhang has built factories all over the world and has the reputation of being a factory builder, he has never been a businessman."

Yu Tianci squinted: "What's wrong with the businessman?"

Zhang Qing explained: "Not only Uncle Zhang, but also Uncle Zhang's father and mother produced 90% of the heavy weapons during the Anti-Japanese War! One was in charge of mechanical processing, and the other was researching and developing sub-drugs. They made indelible contributions to the victory of the Anti-Japanese War."

contribution.”

He joked again: "Victor, don't be too nosy. We are strategic partners, and Uncle Zhang is a respected elder. It's not the same thing."

Then he said to Zhang Jin, who didn't know what to say, "Let's go back first and talk at home."

…

After arriving at Nanchizi Street Alley, the motorcade stopped.

Zhang Qing personally opened the door for Zhang Jin, and a group of people came out of the door.

Zhang Qing introduced Zhang Jinjin: "Uncle Zhang, these two are my girlfriend's father and mother. They taught me a lot when I was growing up and I benefited a lot. This is Aunt Gu Weihong,

This is Aunt Mengjiemeng. They are all my elders. They knew you were coming and came here to greet you. Because your itinerary is confidential, they did not go to the airport to pick you up..."

After listening to Zhang Qing's introduction to the backgrounds of Gu Weihong and Meng Jie, Zhang was now so shocked that he was a little numb. He shook hands with everyone quickly and said in confusion: "How can I be so virtuous and capable..."

Li Suzhi smiled and said: "Mr. Zhang, don't be polite. To be honest, we don't understand semiconductors, or even what they are. But Zhang Qing said that Mr. Zhang is a very patriotic and very respectable elder. As for the semiconductor industry,

It is a lifeline industry related to the future. Mr. Zhang can give up his prosperous life in the United States and abandon the mature industries in the Gulf to build semiconductor factories for the mainland. He will definitely be an immortal contributor to the country's prosperity in the future. He thinks that he is young, and as a sign of respect

, specially invited us to come forward."

Gu Weihong smiled and said, "You guys talk, and we'll prepare lunch."

Zhang Jinjin said hurriedly: "We ate it on the plane."

Gu Weihong smiled and said: "Mr. Zhang doesn't care whether the tea and rice are exquisite. Victor will definitely not be used to airplane food. You and Zhang Qing go and talk, and we will treat Victor to a meal. In the evening, we will prepare a big meal."

She is very familiar with the Yu family.

Yu Tianci knew that this must be Zhang Qing's arrangement again, so he glared at him speechlessly, but could only follow and leave.

Zhang Qing invited Zhang Jin to the West Garden.

"Wow, this Chinese style garden is really artistic."

Zhang is now a very cheerful person. After seeing the small bridge, flowing water, and rockery flower garden, he said happily.

In the pavilion, Zhang Qing asked Zhang Jin to sit down. Someone had already prepared the tea stove, and the tea was still hot.

After pouring tea for Zhang Jin, Zhang Qing said: "Uncle Zhang, if you have any questions, just ask and I will tell you everything I know."

Zhang is no longer hiding anything now, and said: "Can you guarantee that Shida will not be used for other purposes other than civilian use? Don't get me wrong, because of the Wassenaar Agreement in 1996, all corresponding equipment for semiconductors

It is within the scope of the embargo. I can work hard to fight for it, but I must find someone to endorse it. I can’t break trust with others.”

Zhang Qing smiled and said: "The original intention of setting up Star's headquarters on Hong Kong Island is to facilitate Uncle Zhang's activities in the United States. I can make a written guarantee that Star's semiconductor products will never be used for any non-civilian purposes."

[A book-chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend I have known for ten years, Yeguo Reading! It is so easy to use. I rely on this app to read and listen to books while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here.]

In fact, before Jin Mao ascended the throne, there was never a shortage of semiconductor chips even for non-civilian use, but the level of localization was not high.

As early as the 1950s, China had a group of Lao Maozi-style non-civilian industry and scientific research institute experts.

Thanks to a group of semiconductor talents who returned to New China, under their leadership, China's faltering semiconductor industry has completed its original mission: first, ensuring the electronic and computing support for a number of projects such as the "Two Bombs and One Satellite"

.The second is to establish a semiconductor talent training system for China that spans institutions and universities.

It's a pity that something indescribable happened next, and what happened to the seniors...

From then on, it was a muddy road.

But even so, I am proud of the foundation laid by the previous masters. The basic chips used will at least not be stuck.

Zhang Qing can guarantee that Shida's products will never be used for non-civilian purposes.

But it didn’t say that technology cannot be shared...

Zhang now happily said: "The second point is the financial guarantee. The investment is relatively large, and it will cost two billion US dollars to build a factory with 64nm technology. This is based on the premise that the land and buildings on Hong Kong Island are good, otherwise the cost will be even higher

high."

Zhang Qing smiled and said: "No problem. I bought a piece of land on Qingyi Island, which can be used to build a factory. In addition, the Yu family is building a fifty-story building in Central, which can also be allocated to Star Group."

Zhang Jin said: "I personally prefer to build a factory in mainland China. The land is cheap, and it is also convenient to obtain national-level policy support and human resources."

Zhang Qing said with a smile: "No problem, Shida's headquarters is on Hong Kong Island, the R&D center is on Hong Kong Island, and the factory can be built on the mainland. I have prepared a land of 2,500 acres by the West Lake in Zhejiang Province, and Shida can take it

To build a factory and serve as the headquarters in the mainland. Uncle Zhang, if you have any other requests, just ask."

Zhang Jin said: "I have a principle, that is, building a factory must be carried out during the trough period of the industry. Right now, it is not the best period to build a factory. Moreover, Shida wants to move the factory from Wanwan to Hong Kong Island. Now is not the time either.

When the time comes, Wanwan may not be willing to let him go. So I want to wait, and it won’t be more than two years at most.”

Zhang Qing asked hurriedly: "Why two years?"

Zhang Jin said: "The IT industry is too hot right now, and it is getting hotter and hotter. This is not normal. The microcomputer Internet can certainly change the world, but the current level of technology is still far from reaching the level of inclusion in the United States.

Stark, as long as any technology stock is linked to the Internet, even if there is only one concept, the stock price will rise day by day. How can this be normal? I predict that within two years, this bubble will burst. By then,

The semiconductor industry will also encounter a cold winter. At that time, a large number of semiconductor companies will go bankrupt. Whether it is introducing equipment or recruiting talents, it will be very cost-effective!"

Zhang Qing smiled bitterly when he heard this and said: "I'm not afraid of higher costs, but I'm afraid that Uncle Zhang will be recruited by others..."

Zhang Ning immediately said seriously: "How can I be a person of Chao Qin and Mu Chu? What's more, you can acquire Shida first. On the surface, it is an investment from the Yu family, and Wanwan will not be too difficult. When the semiconductor winter comes,

It will be much easier to leave when the time comes."

Zhang Qing nodded and said: "Okay, according to Uncle Zhang's opinion, postpone it until the semiconductor winter. However, I have a request."

Zhang Jin said: "Qingzi, tell me!"

Zhang Qingdao: "I hope that what Uncle Zhang will build is not just a chip processing plant, but a whole industrial chain, just like Japan did in the 1970s and 1980s. Of course, I have no wishful thinking that we can be like Japan and be unique in the world. But, I

We hope to be able to maintain technological reserves. Even if we are one generation behind the world's advanced level, we must have these technologies to prevent one day from ending up like Japan."

Zhang was now shocked again. He looked at Zhang Qing and said: "The investment required for the entire industry chain is too great. The technical requirements are so high that it is simply unimaginable."

Zhang Qing looked solemn and said: "Uncle Zhang, although my elders have taught me that the most important thing to avoid in life is to talk briefly and talk deeply, but I respect you and trust you, so I can give you a thorough understanding. I am willing to spend twenty years

, invest 200 billion US dollars, or even set no upper limit, to achieve this goal! I will treat this matter as the highest goal in life. Such a great undertaking requires great people to complete. From my current understanding, in addition to

Uncle Zhang, it’s hard for me to trust other people."

In China's semiconductor industry, Huaqing people account for half of the industry, which is a modest statement.

Let’s put it this way, the entire semiconductor industry is basically dominated by Huaqing people.

But the level of these people's development of the industry is not very good, and the level of mutual quarrel is so high... tsk tsk.

There are endless cases of colluding with Qualcomm to carry out internal sniping.

Therefore, even though Zhang Qing is considered a Huaqing native, he cannot trust these elites at all.

It’s hard to imagine, magical!

This is also the reason why Zhang Qing respects Zhang now so much.

Zhang still doesn't understand why Zhang Qing values ​​him so much and trusts him so much, but he was indeed moved.

In Wanwan, because he had always been interested in the mainland and wanted to build a factory there, he was repeatedly challenged by the government.

But in mainland China, a young man of only twenty years old trusted and respected him so much that Zhang was deeply moved now.

He shook Yan Qing's hand and said, "Qing Qing, let us work together to build China's advanced semiconductor industry! To paraphrase an old saying: When a countryman meets me, a countryman will repay me!"
