To put it bluntly, all results speak for themselves.

When engaging in scientific research in colleges and universities, it is a matter of getting promoted or leaving.

It doesn’t matter whether you are a 985 doctor or a C9 doctor. If you fail to meet the assessment requirements and produce results, you will leave directly.

The same is true in enterprises.

Even for Pang Liguo, if the research and development of the Wing Loong 3000 baseband fails, Kunpeng 700 and Kunpeng 702 SOCs will all be put on the market, and Wang Yi's tens of billions of investments will be wasted.

Then Wang Yi will let him go!

In the semiconductor industry, there are no second chances!

Nie Zheng, who has been around for many years, knows these unspoken rules best and quickly expressed his stance:

"Don't worry, Director Wang, I will go all out and make a 28nm CPU before the end of next year!"

"Okay, I'm waiting to celebrate your success!"

Wang Yi spoke calmly, and then it depends on the performance of each R&D center.

Now several R&D centers, three major businesses of CPU, GPU, and AI chips are fully invested.

But subsequent financial support will depend on the performance of each R&D center.

To put it bluntly, it is just cultivating gu and internal competition.

Competition between different R&D centers in the same business unit.

There will also be competition between different business units.

R&D centers with outstanding achievements will increase investment, upgrade their strategic levels, and receive year-end bonuses.

For R&D centers with mediocre results, financial support will be reduced, assessments will be pending, and year-end bonuses will no longer be considered.

As for R&D centers with poor results or even no results, it is possible to change managers, reduce salaries and demotions, lay off employees, or even cut off the entire business unit.

Although the previous VIA was a nursing home for semiconductors, Wang Yi would not let them really take care of the elderly.

Wang Yi acquired VIA and invested heavily in research and development to achieve results and make money.

As long as you can produce results, remuneration and status won't be a problem.

But if money is spent and results are not achieved, then Wang Yi will also let the other party know what capitalist methods are!

Later, Wang Yi approached Williams again: "William, you are responsible for the CPU R&D center and NPU R&D center here in the Imperial Capital. You are also responsible for the overseas Centaur team."

After all, the NPU is integrated inside the CPU SOC just like the integrated graphics.

The current CPU SOC of computers includes CPU, integrated core display, and NPU in the future.

For example, in the GPU department, if a powerful GPU is developed, Wang Yi will launch it separately.

If the performance of the GPU he developed was too poor, Wang Yi would be embarrassed to launch it as a standalone graphics card. It would not be shameful enough.

At that time, it will be directly packaged with the CPU to form the core display of the CPU.

Just like next year's Intel third-generation i5, it integrates Intel HD Graphics 2500.

What level?

It is roughly equivalent to a desktop GT210, an entry-level discrete graphics card.

For office use, studying is not a problem. For games, you can only play 2D games, such as CF, DNF, etc. Don't even think about 3D games.

Similarly, if S3 Graphics is powerful enough to produce a CPU that can keep up with NVIDIA's mid-range graphics cards of the same generation, Wang Yi will mass-produce it and make it a standalone graphics card.

But if it is only equivalent to an entry-level low-end graphics card, it can only be used as a CPU core display.

If you can't even make an entry-level graphics card, then there's no need for S3 graphic.

"Okay, Chairman, I will take care of everything." Williams said solemnly.

One CPU R&D center headquarters, two NPU R&D centers, and three core departments were all handed over to him at once, which shows Wang Yi's trust in him.

There is no way, Wang Yi doesn't know much about overseas teams either.

It can't be suppressed even if others take charge.

We can only let Williams play.

After developing the Kunpeng 702 SOC in such a short period of time, and achieving the feat of 40 nanometers beating Qualcomm's 28 nanometers, Williams became a god in one battle and has become the top player in the semiconductor field.

With him in command, the overseas Centaur teams can't say anything.

The performance is there.

Who dares to be arrogant unless they make a CPU that can defeat Intel.

But unfortunately, the current Centaur team has long since lost such ability and cannot even dream of catching up.

Then you can only be submissive to Williams.

Another important consideration is that Wang Yi trusts Williams.

Williams was not greedy for power, but instead relied on merit.

George and Zhang Chao, for example, were both recommended and promoted by Williams, and now they are all on their own.

If it were anyone else, he would never let his capable subordinates like George and Zhang Chao, who were promising threats to him, come forward. Any opportunity to come forward would be completely stifled!

Moreover, Williams has strong ability to withstand pressure, is good at leading a team to open up wasteland, and is a qualified marshal.

Wang Yi will naturally reuse it!

"As for the GPU R&D center in Seoul (Wuhan), the current technical director will be in charge for the time being. As the head of Xingyi Semiconductor, you should do a good job in the assessment. If that person is unqualified, we will replace him!" Wang Yi instructed

.

"Yes!" Williams responded, only to feel the burden on his shoulders becoming heavier again.

Xingyi Semiconductor now has a mobile phone SOC division, a mobile phone baseband division, an integrated chip division, a computer CPU division, a GPU division, and an AI chip division.

Each business department has its own leader and its own R&D director.

But the leader of Xingyi Semiconductor is still Williams!

Wang Yi doesn't have time to keep an eye on it every day. It's Williams who keeps track of the progress of each business unit and each R&D center.

Keep abreast of assessment and talent discovery.

For example, the Centaur team, the VIA team, and the core talents of the Seoul GPU team. Once they find outstanding employees, Williams will recommend them to Wang Yi.

A department should recommend at least three to five people.

Wang Yi then arranged for people to pass various assessments and select the most suitable person to become the new leader.

In the following days, core semiconductor talents from VIA continued to fly back to the imperial capital from Taiwan.

There are also centaur core talents who flew to the imperial capital from overseas.

Of course, there are less of the latter.

After all, the Centaur team is not like the previous mobile chip team of Texas Instruments.

Texas Instruments is giving up its mobile chip business and laying off the entire business unit.

George and others were about to lose their jobs and couldn't find a better salary, so they had no choice but to come to the Imperial Capital and join Xingyi Technology.

To put it bluntly, when George and the others formed a group to come to the Imperial Capital and join Xingyi Technology, they were somewhat forced to do so and had no choice.

But Centaurs are different. They are so powerful that even if they leave their jobs and go to Intel or AMD, they can still find a good job.

Therefore, Wang Yi could only adopt a soft policy.

Use high salary to lure those who are willing to come to the imperial capital, and give them high salary.

If you don't want to come, you can continue to work in the overseas Centaur team, and the benefits will be adequate, and you don't have to leave your job.

After all, the Centaur team is strong and capable of developing AI chips, with a bright future.

Wang Yidu took it as a pawn.

Even if we don't come to the imperial capital now, we still have to stabilize them.

Later, they will be inspected and screened based on their ability and performance, and young people with outstanding performance will be transferred to the headquarters in the name of promotion and salary increase!

Well, if you stay in the overseas branch, promotions and salary increases will be slow.

Come to the headquarters and get an immediate promotion and salary increase.

Wang Yi's main character is one who can convince people with his virtues and be approachable to others!

For these incoming semiconductor talents, Jian Ziyan has already arranged reception and apartments.

After the busy work was over, Jian Ziyan approached Wang Yi: "Chairman, the talents coming this time have been arranged, but there will be several batches of talents coming in the future. I have a suggestion, we always rent an apartment.

It’s suitable. How about buying a few apartment buildings in the name of the company and using them as dormitories for our talents?”

"Buying an apartment building in the name of the company?" Wang Yi's eyes lit up:

"This is a good idea. Anyway, our Xingyi Semiconductor keeps poaching people, and the big names we poach have to solve the problem of accommodation. It is better to buy a house directly. But we don't buy apartments, the residents are too mixed, we buy small houses!"

Housing prices in the imperial capital are high, and most of the houses are small.
