Chapter 605 Daniel: Boss, please call me Tang Sen! I'm happy to be a Chinese!
On April 18, Daniel, who had been a guest at the Anguo Association for three days, finally walked out of the inquiry room.
Outside the gate, a large number of media reporters gathered.
Daniel, accompanied by his lawyer, had a dark face the whole time. He pushed open the glass door without saying a word and walked towards the parking lot.
Obviously, he doesn't want to be interviewed by reporters.
Seeing this, the reporter from The Washington Post became anxious and thought: I have been guarding the door for three hours, I can't just let him go like this!
Now that Daniel has left, how can I write my own news?
He rushed forward, blocking Daniel's way, and almost stuffed the microphone into Daniel's mouth: "Mr. Skinner, what kind of investigation have they conducted on you in the Anguo Association over the past three days? Was there any illegal interrogation? Will you still insist on going to work in China?"
At this time, other reporters also reacted, and their cameras and recorders were all aimed at Daniel, and various questions came one after another.
"Mr. Skinner, has the Anguo Association produced evidence proving that you were involved in a technology leak?"
"There's news that they hypnotized you. Is that true?"
"Did Senlian Capital provide you with any help?"
Daniel's brows furrowed even more tightly, his face gloomy, but his steps did not pause at all.
His lawyer immediately stood in front of Daniel and said to the reporters in a deep voice: "Dear journalist friends, first of all, thank you for your attention to Mr. Skinner.
During these three days, there were many unreasonable aspects in the Anguo Association's investigation process. We have collected relevant evidence and will subsequently safeguard Mr. Skinner's legitimate rights and interests through legal means.
Regarding whether to work in China, Mr. Skinner's decision will not change. We are not in a position to disclose too many specific details. Please make way for Mr. Skinner. He needs to rest.
As soon as the lawyer finished speaking, a reporter wearing glasses and holding a microphone immediately squeezed into the front row and asked, "What do you mean by 'unreasonable'? Illegal detention, or torture? Can the evidence you collected be made public? If the Anguo Association again obstructs Mr. Skinner's travel to China, what measures will you take?"
These questions were thrown out like a machine gun, instantly pushing the atmosphere on the scene to a climax.
The rest of the reporters echoed this, and the flashbulbs of their cameras kept flashing, hurting people's eyes.
Daniel wanted to vent in front of the camera, but he gritted his teeth and finally held back.
The lawyer tried to maintain order and said slowly, "Mr. Skinner has just gone through three days of investigation and is physically and mentally exhausted. Your actions are infringing on his personal rights and interests."
But the reporters still surrounded them and refused to give in.
Some people even squeezed forward, with the camera almost touching Daniel's face: "Mr. Skinner, what promise did Senlian Capital make to you that made you willing to offend and betray the country?"
These words were like a sharp knife, piercing Daniel's heart.
He stopped abruptly, his face flushed. The grievances and anger that had been pent up for three days burst out at this moment.
He pushed aside the lawyer who was blocking his way, stared sharply at the reporter, and asked word by word, "Do you know how many researchers of my caliber are there in Silicon Valley? And how many of them are engineers from Europe, China, Korea, and India?"
"I just changed jobs, from 'importing talent' to 'exporting technology'. Is this considered 'betrayal'? Is it true that R&D personnel can only flow to the beacon country, and can't choose to realize their life value elsewhere?"
Daniel looked sad and angry.
The reporter was speechless after being asked.
Daniel's words hit upon a key fact: the Beacon Country itself has developed by attracting global talents, but now it is using the banner of morality to hinder the normal flow of talents, which is undoubtedly a double standard.
The most unsettling thing is that Daniel is not a Chinese scientist, but a native of Taiwan.
"A report released by the Silicon Valley Semiconductor Association last year clearly stated that 42% of core R&D positions in the North American semiconductor industry are held by foreigners! Why would we hire a bunch of 'traitors'?"
Daniel shrugged, his tone full of sarcasm.
The New York Times reporter pondered for a moment, then carefully asked, "Have you ever considered whether introducing advanced storage technology to China would impact the semiconductor industry in the Lighthouse Country?"
As soon as this question was asked, the reporters who had been silent perked up again and looked at Daniel in unison.
In fact, this is also one of the main reasons why the Anguo Association prevented Daniel from going to China.
After hearing this, Daniel calmed down.
He didn't immediately refute it, merely shaking his head slightly and explaining rather helplessly, "Patents are protectable! If I had disclosed Micron's architectural technology to Tiangong Technology, the law would have provided appropriate penalties. This wouldn't be based on pure conjecture and restricting a researcher's personal and employment freedoms."
Daniel paused and continued, "In the 1980s, Japan monopolized the global market for DRAM chips. However, it was Japanese companies that broke the monopoly through technological innovation, driving the cost of DRAM chips down from hundreds of US dollars per chip to tens of US dollars.
If we had isolated ourselves from communication with Japanese engineers and obstructed the spread of technological information because we were afraid of being surpassed, what would the semiconductor industry be like now?
Finally, he said with a self-deprecating smile: "Tiangong Technology's R&D level is not bad. How do you know that I am not going there to learn?"
Many reporters couldn't help laughing after hearing this.
Some people changed their minds and said, yes, Tiangong Technology is also in the first echelon in the field of chip design.
Relying on core patents such as the Orange Z1 instruction set, Tianhe-100 architecture, Xuanshu architecture, and Hongyan baseband, it not only forced Qualcomm to take the initiative to admit defeat, but also reached patent cross-licensing cooperation with companies such as NVIDIA and MediaTek.
If Tiangong Technology does not have real substance, how could industry giants such as Qualcomm, Nvidia and MediaTek be willing to lower themselves and reach patent cross-licensing agreements with it?
You know, in the semiconductor industry, patent cross-licensing has always been a game of "equal strength", and the weak have no right to negotiate at all.
A reporter who covers technology for years whispered, "In order to obtain the patents for the Xuanshu architecture and Hongyan baseband, Nvidia even brought its most valuable Cuda instruction set and parallel computing engine to the negotiation table."
The reporters around nodded slightly, as if they agreed with Daniel's statement.
I originally thought that Daniel was going there to "help alleviate poverty through technology", but Tiangong Technology is not bad either. It holds a large number of core patents in chip architecture, baseband technology, etc. that make industry giants jealous.
In this way, Daniel is no longer a "unilateral output", but rather a "strong alliance".
At this moment, two Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicles stopped by the side. Seven or eight security personnel got out of the cars and surrounded Daniel and helped him get into the car.
Then he left!
On the side of the car body, there is a dark gold peregrine falcon pattern printed.
…
…
Two days later.
Daniel and his family landed at Yanjing International Airport.
Faced with the influx of reporters, the security personnel immediately dispersed and protected Daniel and his group in the middle.
"Mr. Skinner, welcome to China. Do you have anything to say about the obstacles you've encountered along the way?"
A reporter from the National Daily asked the first question and moved the microphone forward.
Logically speaking, Daniel's technical level in the semiconductor industry in North America is at most above average. Although he is well-known, he is not a heavyweight figure.
However, due to the obstruction of the Lighthouse National Security Association, he became famous in China.
After all, in the past, scientific researchers always went to the Lighthouse Country. It is rare for a native Lighthouse Country person like Daniel to give up resources and go against the association's obstruction to develop in China.
It is precisely because of this rarity that his arrival is given more symbolic significance.
The flow of talent is no longer a one-way "strong West, weak East", but a two-way choice based on technological value.
When Daniel heard the reporter's question, the anger and fatigue he had in North America were no longer in his eyes. He chuckled and replied, "The obstacles along the way are more like a mirror, allowing me to see the true meaning of scientific research freedom. It should not be restricted by national borders, nor should it be hijacked by unwarranted suspicion.
Next, I will focus my career on China. If there is an opportunity, I would also be happy to become a Chinese citizen! "
When he finished speaking, the whole audience was in an uproar!
Obviously, Daniel's words far exceeded everyone's expectations.
At the same time.
When Lu Mingyan walked out of the airport entrance, he saw a sign with Korean writing on it.
But as soon as he took a step forward, his foot stopped immediately.
"Mr. Lu, welcome!"
Chen Yansen smiled faintly and stretched out his right hand.
He made the trip in person not for Lu Mingyan, but for thousands of "potential" overseas engineers.
When outsiders see him, they will only think that he respects scientific researchers very much.
Lu Mingyan was stunned for a second, then dropped his suitcase and quickly walked over to Chen Yansen. He shook his hand tightly and asked in surprise, "Mr. Chen, why are you here?"
In his opinion, Chen Yansen is the richest man in the world, and his wealth and social status are even higher than the Shanxing Li family.
Such a person actually came to the airport to pick up a R&D staff member who had just resigned. This would absolutely not happen in Goryeo.
"You are the backbone of Tiangong Technology's memory chip division. Furthermore, your '3D stacked memory heterogeneous integration' solution is far more mature than those of AMD and SK Hynix."
Chen Yansen's mental power was like a tide, enveloping Lu Mingyan's brain.
He had tried this trick on Venika.
The effect is very smooth!
"Mr. Chen, you are so polite. I am flattered."
Lu Mingyan's voice trembled a little, and he unconsciously used some strength to hold Chen Yansen's hand, and his eyes were slightly red.
The repression and neglect she had felt in Shanxing for the past twenty years were completely washed away by Chen Yansen's attention at this moment.
Somehow, he vaguely smelled the scent of his father in Chen Yansen, and this feeling made him full of trust.
the next day.
Chen Yansen used the same trick again and brought Daniel back to Tiangong Technology headquarters.
He took Daniel and Lu Mingyan to visit the laboratory of the memory chip division and introduced the current team one by one.
When Chen Yansen took action, he naturally would not only recruit two people. In addition to Daniel and Lu Mingyan, there was also an industry leader named Zhao Dongsheng.
This person was originally the product director of SK Hynix. Moved by his promise of "full-chain product implementation support", he happily returned to China.
"Daniel, you decide on the technical matters, and Zhao Dongsheng will be responsible for the management matters."
Chen Yansen gave the order casually.
"Boss, I changed my Chinese name. You can call me Tang Sen from now on."
Daniel corrected with a smile.
What a master! This flatterer! Absolutely amazing!
Zhao Dongsheng stood there with his mouth slightly open. He didn't expect that the blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigner in front of him understood the ways of the world better than he did.
"Okay, then I'll call you Old Tang."
Chen Yansen nodded and followed suit.
After a brief stroll, the group entered a conference room. Chen Yansen gestured for Guo Shenyi to connect the projection screen, then began to speak, "The core cost of traditional DRAM lies in the packaging, interfaces, and specialized manufacturing processes of the two-dimensional array. The performance bottleneck is constrained by the latency and bandwidth of processor communication.
Therefore, I plan to abandon the 1T1C transistor structure and switch to 2T or 3T gain cells and through-silicon via stacking technology."
In short, the 40nm and 28nm process technologies should be used as the basis to achieve a significant reduction in manufacturing costs.
High-speed serial interfaces and bandwidth optimization technologies are then used to overcome the shortcomings of cell density and refresh mechanisms, resulting in faster read and write speeds.
Tang Sen frowned. After reading the technical proposal, he quietly reminded, "Boss, convincing CPU and GPU manufacturers to support a brand-new, non-JEDEC memory interface requires a huge ecosystem push."
What this means is that no matter how good the technology is, it still needs the cooperation of the upstream and downstream industrial chains.
Chen Yansen knocked on the table and said with a smile, "Old Tang, don't forget, Tiangong Technology is China's number one CPU and GPU design manufacturer, and we also have Orange Technology, a terminal equipment giant, within our system."
As he spoke, he brought up Orange Technology's product matrix: "Last year, Orange mobile phone global shipments reached 117 million units, and Orange tablets and laptops also ranked among the top three in China in terms of market share.
Therefore, our newly developed memory chips can be first adapted to Orange's terminal products. From CPU and GPU to terminal devices, the entire chain is in our own hands, without having to rely on others."
Oh shit!
Tang Sen slapped his thigh and smiled awkwardly.
Before, he only considered the problem of "external manufacturer adaptation", but forgot that Tiangong Technology itself holds the core resources of the entire industry chain.
The new boss is indeed very powerful!
Zhao Dongsheng and Lu Mingyan looked at each other and saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.
at the same time.
When the bigwigs of the Lighthouse Country’s Central Department saw Daniel’s words “I want to be a Chinese” on the news, they were instantly furious!
