Since 1986, it has been a small decade since we have been involved in the semiconductor industry.

In these ten years, the global semiconductor industry has also matured from its early stages of development, and has shown vigorous vitality.

The Internet, based on semiconductors, is booming and has become an important engine driving the economy.

China, on the other hand, does not lag behind the world in the development of the semiconductor industry, but is progressing simultaneously.

Moreover, because Chen Huaiqing has continuously spent money on research and development in the past ten years, in terms of technological progress, he has not only completely caught up with foreign countries, but has also surpassed it.

The Mota300 lithography machine has been successfully developed. As long as it is mass-produced, Mota Semiconductor will be able to mass-produce chips using the 250nm process. This is the world's most advanced process that can be commercialized.

Being able to carry out large-scale commercial use shows that the technology is already very mature.

Otherwise, it will not be commercially available at all.

The high cost directly makes it impossible to sell the product.

Chen Huaiqing: "If we don't overtake, we won't overtake it, and we won't delay making money. We always have to wait for our peers. We run too fast, and they just can't catch up. It's not a good feeling to be alone and be defeated."

If a company fails alone in the market, it most likely means that it is not far from decline.

If you want to keep making progress, it is undoubtedly a great thing to have a competitor by your side.

Liu Xinran chuckled slightly. How could he not be disappointed if he had the opportunity to be the first, but it slipped away from his hands?

Something that is obviously impossible.

Chen Huaiqing has been investing a lot of money in research and development over the years. Why?

Isn’t it just that we have to surpass foreign countries in terms of technology?

Liu Xinran teased: "Brother-in-law, you say this, do you believe it yourself?"

Chen Huaiqing put his arms around Liu Xinran: "Whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway."

The situation is like this now, what can be done?

The impact of Mota Microelectronics being stuck in purchasing parts from overseas is quite large.

During the meeting, the leader of the Ministry of Industry went to Chen Huaiqing and asked specifically about this matter: "Should the country come forward to negotiate with Neon?"

Chen Huaiqing didn't find it strange at all when the ministry knew about it, because Mota Microelectronics itself had state-owned shares.

Moreover, many of the personnel within Mota Microelectronics were directly transferred from various research institutes.

Of course, those who were transferred had all their organizational relationships transferred to Mota Microelectronics.

Chen Huaiqing: "We have anticipated this situation before. Since people are still using commercial methods now, there is no need to make a fuss about it. This kind of neck-stuck thing is only temporary. The Mota300 lithography machine will be replaced with domestically produced parts.

Although the performance of the components will be reduced, it is still the most advanced lithography machine in the world. Next, we still have to do everything we can to increase the localization rate of lithography machines."

Chen Huaiqing does not think that the problem can be solved through negotiation. He believes that strength determines everything!

"If you need anything from the ministry, just ask. The ministry will fully support you."

The rapid development of Mota Microelectronics in recent years is inseparable from the support of the state.

Chen Huaiqing: "If you need anything, I won't be polite."

On the second day after the conference, Chen Huaiqing was called to another science and technology work meeting.

This meeting has a lot to do with Chen Huaiqing.

Because Chen Huaiqing’s enterprises and research institutions account for half of the country’s expenditure on scientific research funds.

A bit exaggerated!

But in fact it is.

Mota Holdings earns astronomical profits every year, but it invests the money in Mota Technology Research Institute.

In addition, Mota Holdings has also invested a large amount of funds to support universities in basic research.

In Chen Huaiqing's plan, Mota Technology Research Institute conducts research on applied technology.

Universities carry out basic research and teaching activities.

Universities have natural advantages in conducting basic research. First of all, universities are ivory towers, which are completely different from the money society outside.

It allows people to do research with peace of mind.

Of course, for those engaged in basic research, the salary and remuneration must be improved.

If you get results, you should be rewarded, and they will be no less.

Funds for basic research in universities are not only directly allocated by Mota Holdings, but also allocated by the Huaxu Science and Technology Fund.

The Huaxu Science and Technology Fund has the Huaxu Award and the Huaxu Science and Technology Conference. The Huaxu Science and Technology Fund is responsible for the prize money of the Huaxu Award and the holding of the Huaxu Science and Technology Conference.

Huaxu Technology Fund is a public welfare fund that accepts donations from the society.

Chen Huaiqing is the largest donor to the Huaxu Science and Technology Fund, and the Ministry of Finance of China also allocates funds to the Huaxu Science and Technology Fund.

Anyone with a project can apply.

If the application is approved, in addition to project funds, Huaxu Science and Technology Fund will also provide a living subsidy.

It's not much, only two hundred to one thousand yuan per person.

The purpose is to allow people to do research with peace of mind.

Striving for scientific and technological progress can't always make people tired of life, right?

Chen Huaiqing believes that researchers should be freed from the worries of life and should focus as much as possible on research.

Speed ​​up your research!

Last year, the Huaxu Science and Technology Fund invested a total of tens of billions of dollars to support basic research and invested in more than 3,500 projects.

Some of those who engage in basic research don’t need any money at all.

For example, mathematics.

The most I can do is use a supercomputer.

All research projects supported by the Huaxu Science and Technology Fund have priority in using supercomputers.

Basic research is the foundation. Without a foundation, no matter how brightly the flowers of applied technology bloom, they will wither in a short time.

If there is a strong foundation, then the flower of applied technology will be able to receive continuous support and keep blooming.

At this science and technology conference, the Huaxu Science and Technology Fund was included in the Science and Technology Leading Group.

The daily management of Huaxu Technology Fund remains unchanged, that is, the future reporting work of Huaxu Technology Fund will be reported to the Science and Technology Leading Group and will accept the supervision of the leading group.

It's a kind of co-optation.

Chen Huaiqing had no objection to this at all. The Huaxu Science and Technology Fund itself was established to develop basic research in China.

After this science and technology conference, it is determined that China will make key financial investments in those areas.

Resources are limited. If you invest more in this area, you will naturally invest less resources in other areas.

How to allocate funds has become a difficult point.

Chen Huaiqing suggested that priority should be given to solving urgently needed technologies.

In addition, there is the issue of cultivating scientific and technological talents, and the construction of colleges and universities must be strengthened.

The cultivation of scientific and technological talents, whether now or in the future, will still be based on training in colleges and universities.

Therefore, it is very necessary to strengthen the construction of colleges and universities.
