At this point, Zhao Ye proposed supporting the development of other semiconductor industries through "investment." If the investment was successful, he could share in the profits and increase his own influence in the semiconductor field.
After the meeting, Zhao Ye began to design the chip. The chip production was handled by these bigwigs, but chip design was Zhao Ye's forte.
Zhao Ye also merged the company's CPU design team into Wujiang Microelectronics, and all team members moved to Shanghai Optical Machinery Factory.
Under Zhao Ye's leadership, the CPU design team is working hard to develop a microprocessor based on Reduced Instruction Set Computing (RISC).
As the saying goes, "start with the easy and then move on to the difficult." We designed an 8-bit processor first, then a 16-bit and a 32-bit processor.
Starting March 1st, Zhao Ye practically lived at the factory, working overtime every day to design the CPU, often burning the midnight oil. Furthermore, every few days, Zhao Ye would give lectures to his team members to improve their skills and help them understand his design philosophy.
He also regularly discusses the future development trends of lithography machines and the technologies used with academicians such as Huang Kun and Wang Wei. Although Zhao Ye is not very familiar with the specific technologies involved, he at least knows the direction. This will greatly reduce the trial and error costs of Wujiang Microelectronics, save a lot of money and manpower, and accelerate the development of new lithography machines.
Nowadays, bigwigs like Huang Kun love chatting with Zhao Ye the most, because they can always hear some ingenious ideas from him that enlighten them.
To be honest, Zhao Ye's life is busy and fulfilling, even more "enviable" than the 996 work schedule. However, the major event of the United States preparing to sign the Plaza Accord this year has naturally become the focus of Zhao Ye's attention.
The core of the Plaza Accord was to devalue the dollar, increase the competitiveness of American exports, and thus improve the imbalance in the US international payments.
Whom will the US target?
Without a doubt, it's Japan. The Japanese are clamoring to "buy up America," and even the Empire State Building has become Japanese property. Can the US, the sixth-largest economy, tolerate this?
On September 22, 1985, the finance ministers and central bank governors of the United States, the Bundestag, West Germany, France, and the United Kingdom met at the Plaza Hotel in New York and reached an agreement for the five governments to jointly intervene in the foreign exchange market to induce an orderly depreciation of the US dollar against major currencies in order to solve the problem of the United States’ huge trade deficit.
Because the agreement was signed at the Plaza Hotel, it is also known as the "Plaza Accord".
After the Plaza Accord was signed, the five countries began to jointly intervene in the foreign exchange market, selling large amounts of US dollars in the international foreign exchange market, which in turn triggered a sell-off frenzy among market investors, leading to a sustained and significant depreciation of the US dollar.
In less than three months, the dollar fell rapidly, from 250 yen to 200 yen, a drop of 20%.
The US dollar plummeted while the Japanese yen appreciated.
If Zhao Ye had used leverage in the foreign exchange market to buy large amounts of Japanese yen before the Plaza Accord was signed, he could have made a fortune in just three months!
If this is handled well, there's no reason why China's semiconductor industry won't develop.
It's March now, and there's still some time until September 22nd.
This was enough for Zhao Ye to raise a huge sum of money.
