Since there was nothing to do after dinner, these tourists didn't need to control their drinking and they let their minds go without getting drunk.
It's all beer anyway.
Drinking liquor in June is already a pain, so tonight it's all beer.
Everyone was drinking happily, one cup left and one cup right.
After three rounds of drinks, Wan Feng began to build relationships and get close to the people at the table.
Chat with these semiconductor factory managers and section chiefs about love and family matters.
He is laying the foundation for future chip production, and by then it will be convenient and cheap to use wafer transistors or something like that.
These people actually have little interest in these things that they see and play with every day, but they are looking forward to Wan Feng taking them to the beach for a barbecue tomorrow.
Saying nice things to please others is the highest level of speech. Seeing that these people were interested in the seaside, Wan Feng continued the topic and blew the conch shell, describing the seaside here as a paradise on earth.
He promised to hire a special car with barbecue tools and seasonings tomorrow and go to the beach for a picnic. He would barbecue the food when he got to the beach.
They grill whatever is available on the beach.
He also lyrically described the scenery: the blue sea and blue sky, seagulls flying, the sea breeze blowing and the waves rolling, a fisherman's girl walking on the beach with her trousers rolled up...
Those who have been to the seaside listened to it with great interest, and those who have not been to the seaside were even more fascinated by it.
While Wan Feng was chatting with these people, Mi Guangnan and Gu Hongzhong, who had eaten and drunk their fill, came to the outside of the hotel and sat on the curb in front of the hotel. Each of them had a bottle of drink and a cigarette and started a conversation.
"Your factory director said you want to develop chips. You should be the best semiconductor expert in the South Bay factory. Can I ask you a question?"
"Boss Mi! Our boss asked me to have a good chat with you. Just tell me what you want to say."
"Did you go to college?"
Gu Hongzhong shook his head: "No, let alone college, I didn't even go to high school. I went out into society right after graduating from middle school."
Mi Guangnan was disappointed when he heard that Gu Hongzhong had not even finished high school.
Someone who didn't even go to high school is working on chips? Isn't that ridiculous!
"So how did you get into video games?"
"I think it's innate. When I was little, I was interested in all kinds of home appliances. I could study a broken flashlight for days. This hobby has persisted until now and I've never changed it."
There are people in this world who are born to live and die for something. It seems that Gu Hongzhong is one of those people who lives and dies for semiconductors.
"Then do you know how many programs are needed to make a chip?"
"The big program has four steps, and the small program has ten steps." This is not difficult. What's the point of researching chips if you don't even know the manufacturing process?
"Tell me more about it."
"In general, it involves wafer processing, assembly, and testing. Wafer processing includes cleaning, developing, etching, and ion implantation..."
Gu Hongzhong said a lot of things without saying anything.
Mi Guangnan understood what he said very well and nodded repeatedly.
The chip manufacturing process is indeed like this, but whether it can be done is another matter.
Even if you can make the chip, it’s useless if you can’t design it.
"Have you started the actual operation now?"
"The factory hasn't officially launched the project yet. I just led our electronics team to copy a few chips in our free time."
While you're free?
Why does it sound like this chip is as cheap as cabbage in their hands?
Are you kidding me?
"What kind of chips are they imitating?"
"Several, 8086, Z80."
The mainstream chip on the market now.
A few years ago, this was also something that was prohibited from being exported to China under the Batumi Wassenaar Arrangement.
"How about the imitation one?"
"It's okay, even if it's a successful imitation."
Mi Guangnan took a breath of cold air, even if the imitation was successful!
This is an exaggeration!
It's night now. If it were daytime, we would probably be able to see the natural flying bull.
He is very familiar with these two chips.
In 1983, when he returned from the Maple Leaf Country and opened up the market for Lenovo-style Chinese cards, they used the Z80 chip and sold for over three million at the time.
Later, the name of Lian Xiang Company evolved from this Chinese card.
He has not used Intel's 8086 chip much because the Z80 has better performance than the 8086.
However, the computer CPU he is currently working on and is about to release uses the next generation chip of 8086, and he is familiar with this chip.
He knew that even these two outdated chips could not be produced by anyone in China.
But this concept is broken here!
Someone succeeded in copying it when they were free. Please note that it was when they were free. That means they made it just for fun. Isn’t that infuriating?
"Did you really succeed in imitating it?"
"There's no problem using it. It's a little smaller than others, and the temperature is a little higher than others' chip temperature. It seems there's no other difference."
This is also possible! Even if the volume is a little bigger and the temperature is a little higher, at least you have imitated it.
"Are you going to produce them?"
Even though they are now outdated, they can still be used in many products, which also represents a vast market.
Gu Hongzhong shook his head: "No!"
Mi Guangnan was puzzled: "Why not? There is a market for this. It's still several thousand yuan a piece."
"Haha, our CEO Wan said that if we really make this chip and put it on the market, foreigners will immediately sell it for dirt cheap, and we will lose a lot of money, so we can't do it."
That makes sense!
"Besides, what's the point in producing something that others have already eliminated? No matter how good your product is, you're still just eating up what others have left. We need to develop our own chips. Even if we can't catch up, we can't be too far behind them, and we can't lag too far behind in time, so that they can't lower their prices. I've already chosen the name of the chip we want to make, and it's the name of our company: Huaguang! We're going to make Huaguang chips."
I don’t know what happened, but at this moment Mi Guangnan’s heart trembled violently.
The softest string in my heart was plucked.
If Wan Feng knew how Mi Guangnan felt at the moment, he would definitely be able to find a reason to blame him: he was suffering from a middle school syndrome.
And it was Gu Hongzhong who caused him to get the disease.
Mi Guangnan’s creed is: in terms of technology, we must take the path of independent research and development.
This was also the reason why he fell out with Liu Zhi later.
Therefore, what Gu Hongzhong said was exactly what he wanted.
If Wan Feng knew that Mi Guangnan was fooled by Gu Hongzhong, he wouldn't know whether to cry or laugh.
These days even honest people have learned to cheat others. How can we still live like this?
"The next step is to develop your own chips?"
Gu Hongzhong nodded first, then shook his head: "It's difficult! We have too few talented people. Designing a chip and then manufacturing it is simply beyond our capabilities at the moment."
"You could learn from Taiji Electric! Aren't they just specialized in manufacturing now, not design?"
Mi Guangnan reminded.
