Chapter 116 Xinya Optoelectronics



"Enxuan, are you used to living here?" Zhou Shulan and Zheng Enxuan started chatting about family matters.

"It's quite comfortable. In fact, living here is more comfortable than staying in a five-star hotel. I went out for a run in the morning and felt refreshed." Zheng Enxuan said.

Zhou Shulan also envied Zheng Enxuan's lifestyle. "Do you insist on running every day in Korea? No wonder you keep such a good figure. When you and Zhiyi go out together, they don't look like mother and daughter, but more like sisters."

Zheng Enxuan was overjoyed by Zhou Shulan's praise. "How can you say that so exaggeratedly? I have a lot of things to do in the company every day, and I need a clear mind to deal with things. Running or swimming can help me refresh myself. This community has a good environment and good greenery. I want to buy a house here for Zhiyi."

At this time, Song Yi also returned to Lijing Garden. He heard the conversation between Zheng Enxuan and Zhou Shulan and said with a smile: "The housing prices in Yanjing are still quite cheap at this time, and there is also investment value. If Zhiyi comes to China to work, she can buy a house in her own name and sell it when she returns home."

When Zheng Enxuan heard Song Yi say this, she immediately became interested. Although she didn't have much money, it was no problem for her to help Zhou Zhiyi buy a villa in Lijing Garden. Zhou Zhiyi worked in Yanjing, so it would be more convenient for her to come and visit her daughter.

When Zheng Enxuan said she wanted to buy a house in Lijing Garden, Song Yi strongly agreed, "This is a good thing. After the New Year, I will help you ask if there are any suitable houses in the community that you want to sell."

Zheng Enxuan doesn't care about the small matter of buying a house. She is more concerned about the construction of Eshan Semiconductor's factory in Liangxi City.

"The Liangxi wafer factory has not been finalized yet, but you have already established the chip research and development institution Xinya Optoelectronics in Pujiang City. Isn't this decision a bit too advanced?" Zheng Enxuan asked Song Yi.

"Pujiang City has Huaxin International, as well as the top chip packaging and design companies in the industry. In the future, China will form a chip market worth over one trillion RMB. It is the right time for Xinya to establish a chip R&D institution in Pujiang City."

There are many reasons why Song Yi wants to set up a chip research and development institute in Puhai City. The most important reason is to create a studio for the game plug-in of "Legend of Mir 2".

Xinya has no roots in Puhai City, so it is not easy to directly ask the Puhai police to cooperate in cracking down on these studios.

However, if Xinya established a chip research and development institute in Puhai City, and then asked the Puhai police to crack down on these illegal studios, it would be justified.

Moreover, the core chip technology is now in the hands of European and American countries. In order to get rid of the constraints of the West, the mainland has decided to independently develop chips. At this time, the mainland's chips are basically dependent on imports, and the self-sufficiency rate is less than 10%.

Last year, a senior electronic engineer from Motorola, Cheng Qian, chose to return to China. At Motorola, he was only responsible for chip testing and had no experience in chip development.

However, Cheng Qian knew how to attract attention more easily. He lied that he was a "chip design manager" at Motorola, engaged in chip design work, and also participated in the testing and testability design of very large-scale integrated circuits.

With this brilliant resume, Cheng Qian joined a research and development institution to participate in chip design and development. While working at Puhai Jiaotong University, Cheng Qian established the "Tangxin" laboratory and developed DSP chips.

As a result, Cheng Qian announced in 2003 that the "Tangxin No. 1" had been successfully developed and passed the expert inspection. Later, the Puhai Municipal Science and Technology Committee announced that the "Tangxin No. 1" was China's first 0.18-micron DSP chip with independent intellectual property rights, which had reached the international advanced level, and applied for 6 patents for it.

With the help of the cutting-edge technology "Tangxin No. 1", Cheng Qian successfully became the dean of the School of Microelectronics at Puhai Jiaotong University. He also established several technology companies and successfully applied for over 100 million yuan in scientific research funds.

But in 2006, the situation took a 180-degree turn. Someone anonymously exposed Cheng Qian's Tangxin CPU as fake on Shuimu University BBS. Cheng Qian's chip was not independently developed, but purchased from Motorola Freescale 56800.

Cheng Qian hired a decoration engineering company in Puhai City to use new sandpaper to remove the original Motorola logo on the surface of the chip, and then printed the "Tangxin No. 1" logo and words on it to defraud huge amounts of R&D funds. The most ridiculous thing is that this decoration company listed its achievements on its official website, saying that it "had done decoration for Cheng Qian's Chip and System Research Center."

The fact that an academic fraudster like Cheng Qian was able to swindle 1.1 billion yuan in research funds so easily also shows from the side how eager the mainland is to recruit high-level senior technical talents in the chip industry from abroad.

After experiencing the chip counterfeiting scandal, China has become more stringent in its review of chip research and development, and has put forward higher requirements for the use of scientific research funds and the evaluation of scientific research results to prevent the "Tangxin" counterfeiting incident from happening again.

Experts have estimated that the fraud of "Tangxin No. 1" has caused great suffering to the mainland's chip industry. The mainland's financial support for many chip projects has been completely stopped, affecting the entire semiconductor industry. Its impact is so bad that it has caused China's chip industry to lag behind for 13 years.

At that time, the Institute of Computing Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences was also developing a general-purpose CPU, called the "Loongson" project. General-purpose CPU chips and DPS chips are actually two completely different things.

Loongson is a general-purpose CPU originated from the Institute of Computing Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. There has never been any fraud or money-making behavior. Although Loongson and Tangxin differ by only one character, the shapes and pronunciations of "Tang" and "Long" are very different, and under normal circumstances, they will not be confused.

However, after the Tangxin fraud was exposed, under the guidance of certain intentional public opinion, many people were saying "Loongson fraud" and "Loongson subsidy fraud". Once this wrong perception was formed, it was difficult to correct. Even more than ten years later, there were still people who confidently mistook "Loongson" for "Tangxin", causing "Loongson" to suffer an unjustifiable mistake.

Even though many people can now distinguish between "Loongson" and "Hanxin", the impression of "counterfeiting" and "subsidy fraud" has become deeply rooted and difficult to reverse.

Since Song Yi has decided to set up Xinya Microelectronics, a chip research and development institution in Puhai City, he will not allow people like Cheng Qian to continue to take advantage of loopholes.

After the 9/11 incident, Sino-US relations tended to ease, and China ushered in a 10-year golden period of development. It is very timely for Xinya Microelectronics to establish a chip research and development institution in Puhai City this year.

In addition to Xinya Microelectronics, Xinya Network, Xinya Advertising and Xinya Real Estate are all preparing to set up branches in Puhai City.

Xinya Network has been testing the Chinese version of Inschool, which is called "Xiao Nei Wang" in Chinese. This year Inschool will officially enter the Chinese and Japanese markets. Facebook was founded on February 4, 2004, so Song Yi doesn't have much time left.

Large technology companies in the United States can only be controlled by Anglo-Saxons and Jews. Even if inschool enters the North American market, it will not be able to stop the rise of Facebook unless Song Yi is willing to hand over the control of inschool to American capital.

After Zheng Enxuan heard Song Yi's plan, she no longer questioned Song Yi's decision. "Since you are already planning to set up a chip research and development company, it is not appropriate for the parent company to be called New Asia Media. You can officially change the company's name to New Asia Group."

"That's what I plan to do too. After New Korea Media goes public, New Asia Media will be officially renamed New Asia Group, and a separate New Asia Agency will be established at that time. New Asia Agency will be responsible for artist management affairs, and I plan to hand this company over to Kim Hee Won."

"In the future, Xinya Agency will be specifically responsible for artist management affairs. Xinya Music will produce music for the artists represented by Xinya Agency, and Xinya Pictures will produce movies and TV series for the artists represented by Xinya Agency. We will divide the work and cooperate with each other, letting professionals do professional things, which will be more efficient." Song Yi said.

ShinAsia currently has seven artists including Kim Tae-hee, Song Hye-kyo, Jun Ji-hyun, Lee Hyo-ri, Sung Yu-ri, Kim Jong-kook and Moon Geun-young, as well as screenwriter Kim Young-hyun. Together with director Kwak Jae-yong who is about to sign a contract, ShinAsia has become a top agency that includes directors, singers, screenwriters and actors.

"You really value your sister-in-law. Are you so confident in letting her help you manage your harem?" Zheng Enxuan teased Song Yi.

Song Yi glanced in the direction of Zhou Shulan and found that she was playing with her granddaughter Song Miao. Zhou Shulan thought that Song Yi and Zheng Enxuan were talking about serious matters, so she left them some space to talk.

"Aunt, please don't make random accusations. If my mother hears, she will probably break my legs." Song Yi was still frightened.

Zheng Enxuan snorted, "Why? A grown man dares to do something but not take responsibility for it. When Jun Ji-hyun and SidusHQ terminated their contract, you and she were on vacation abroad, right? Song Hye-kyo is not an easy person to deal with either. You must have visited the apartment she bought in Hannam-dong quite often."

"So you pretend to be a gentleman in front of your family and Tae-hee, but act like a dissolute person in front of other women? Now I understand why you are willing to marry Kim Tae-hee, a girlfriend with a weaker family background. It's because she can't control you after marriage, right?" Zheng Enxuan said incisively.

"That's true. Whether a man likes to go out and play or not has little to do with the strength of his wife's family. Cui Anyuan even married the president's daughter, so he still plays anyway. Before Song Shangong lost power, he restrained himself and played secretly. Now that Song Shangong has lost power, he plays openly. The most fucked-up thing is that Sister Suying knew that her husband had someone outside and now he is in jail, but she still had to find a way to rescue him." Song Yi said indignantly.

"From what you said, you seem to be standing up for Suying. Suying is also very pretty. How about I create some opportunities for you to take her down in one fell swoop and take revenge on Cui Anyuan?" Zheng Enxuan suggested.

Song Yi laughed inwardly. The only sisters who were close to Song Suying were Chen Fuzhen and Zheng Enxuan. As a result, Chen Fuzhen and Zheng Enxuan both suggested that he sleep with Song Suying. Could it be that they really had a telepathic connection? "Aunt, Sister Suying has a husband, and she is my father's student. She helps me a lot and she is not that kind of woman. I still respect her." Song Yi replied.

Song Yi's words immediately touched Zheng Enxuan's bad luck. She said angrily, "What do you mean by this? What do you mean she is not that kind of woman? Is it that Song Suying is pure and innocent, while I, Zheng Enxuan, am fickle? Besides, aren't you just interested in other people's wives? Meng Xian asked you to take care of us mother and daughter. Is this how you, as a nephew, take care of your aunt?"

Song Yi sighed at his bad luck and wished he could slap himself. Now Zhou Shulan and Zhou Zhiyi were both in the villa, and it was not easy for him to coax Zheng Enxuan alone.

"That's not what I meant. I admit that I have some feelings for Sister Soyoung. But isn't Shinhan Media cooperating with SK right now? Shinya is going to go public through a backdoor listing this year. If Sister Soyoung and I get along, and it affects Shinya's backdoor listing plan, then it would be a loss." Song Yi said.

Zheng Enxuan sneered, "You men are really realistic. You either make money or you make women. Only when you make money can you control your lower body and give up on women. Zhong Xiaotong will step down as president this year, and Meng Xian's issue must be resolved. You can't let him stay in there just to sleep with someone else's wife, right?"

Song Yi felt strange. Zheng Enxuan was acting like a gunpowder today, which was totally different from her usual behavior. He now regretted getting involved with Zheng Enxuan.

Although she is pretty, she is still a little bit behind Chen Fuzhen. If he hadn't wanted to make Zheng Enxuan a puppet to control the Eshan Group, he wouldn't have resorted to such a bad strategy.

"Aunt, don't worry. I have always kept Uncle Meng Xian's affairs in mind. As long as Song Yuxi wins the party election in April and becomes the candidate of the Millennium Democratic Party, I will visit Zhong Xiaotong in person, and then Uncle Meng Xian will have the hope of leaving the District Procuratorate." Song Yi said.

Why Song Yuxi's victory is closely related to Zhou Mengxian's fate? In fact, the most important thing is whether Zhong Xiaotong will be liquidated after stepping down.

If Song Woo-seok wins the Millennium Democratic Party's internal election and becomes the party's candidate, it means that the Millennium Democratic Party will continue Zhong Xiaotong's Sunshine Policy, continue North Korea-ROK economic cooperation, and insist on North-South dialogue.

Then Zhong Xiaotong doesn't need to continue to hold Zhou Mengxian accountable, and can let Zhou Mengxian leave the Seoul District Prosecutor's Office and serve his suspended sentence at home. Because if Song Yuxi is elected president, he will definitely not deal with Zhou Mengxian's case of providing secret funds to the North, and Zhong Xiaotong can step down safely.

On the contrary, if other candidates win, then Zhong Xiaotong will need to give Zhou Mengxian a heavy sentence during his term, starting from three to five years, and make Zhou Mengxian a scapegoat. In this way, Zhong Xiaotong can clear himself of the suspicion of providing secret funds to the North. After all, many Korean media believe that it was Zhong Xiaotong who instructed Zhou Mengxian to do so.

Of course, if Song Yuxi loses the presidential election, it doesn’t matter. The worst that can happen is that the local procuratorate can arrest Zhou Mengxian. At that time, all we need to do is find new additional evidence.

Releasing Zhou Mengxian at the end of April was Zhong Xiaotong's gesture of goodwill to Song Yuxi and Song Yi. After all, if Song Yuxi wanted to continue the North Korea-ROK economic cooperation plan, he could not avoid Zhou Mengxian, a key figure.

When Zheng Enxuan heard Song Yi say this, her expression changed from gloomy to bright, "That's more like it. Before Zhiyi came to Yanjing this time, she asked me when her father would be released, otherwise she would not feel comfortable coming to work in Yanjing."

Seeing that Zheng Enxuan's mood had improved, Song Yi asked carefully, "I see that you don't seem to be in a good mood today. Did something happen last night?"

Zheng Enxuan was furious when she heard this. "There was a woman's lace pajamas in the room I stayed in last night. The style was very sexy and it was obviously worn by a young woman. Song Yi, you actually let me sleep in the house where your lover lived. What are you thinking?"
