070 Domestic chips, "The Road Has Been Always"
"I have complete mastery of the technology, you can rest assured." The signature pen stopped rotating, rolled back to Chen Yao's palm, and stopped steadily.
It sounds incredible, but for some reason, Xu Botian actually believed him a little.
Could it be that he is the legendary technical master?!
If he can really make a lithography machine made of 5nm, he can not only produce 5nm mobile phone chips, but also 3nm chips.
After all, a lithography machine is a bit like a projector, and the imaging can be scaled to scale.
This is definitely a great thing for domestic mobile phone manufacturers. Huawei can find domestic foundries to produce 5nm Kirin chips!
Don’t rely on foreign technology and don’t be afraid of being choked.
But, is everything he said true? Xu Botian is still a little suspicious.
Zhong Guoqiang said slowly: "Chen Yao is the founder of Legend Company. You should hear about how fast Legend Company is growing."
Xu Botian touched his chin and recalled the reports of major media news.
"Take voice technology as an example, it has become the world's top, and its products are widely used in the fields of film and television dubbing, animation, and input methods.
Microsoft invests billions of dollars in research on voice technology every year, and their soldiers are still in the laboratory stage and have not yet been commercialized."
"How powerful is he? No need to explain it?"
Xu Botian was shocked and thought that the online reports were all fake news, and Chen Yao was really as magical as the legend!
The problem is also here. If Chen Yao agreed to invest in technology, 51% of Huatian Microelectronics' equity will belong to him, and Chen Yao is equivalent to controlling the company.
Xu Botian frowned, a little unacceptable.
Chen Yao took a sip of tea and said, "Boss Xu, everyone is very clear about the current situation of Huatian Microelectronics. Only technological breakthroughs can save it."
Huatian's lithography machine technology is backward and has no competitiveness in the market, so it cannot sell one in a month.
As for seeking investors to invest and supporting the company, it is impossible. If this continues, the company will definitely go bankrupt.
The key is that Xu Botian has invested a lot of money and is heavily in debt. If he goes bankrupt, how can he fill that big pit?
Really, there is no way out. Only technological breakthroughs can bring Huatian back to life.
Otherwise, no matter how much equity a company is about to end, it will make no sense.
Xu Botian touched his chin and thought about it for a long time. Seeing that Chen Yao got up and was about to leave.
He hurriedly said, "Okay, I promise you!"
Next, the two discussed some contract details for a long time.
Xu Botian agreed to Chen Yao Technology to invest, but there is one condition.
He had to develop a lithography machine made of 5nm to obtain 51% of the equity.
And, it must be within one year.
If it took too long and it took four or five years to make it happen, the electronics industry would be updated so quickly, and even if it was made, it would be eliminated.
Chen Yao finished reading the contract: "No problem."
Then he wrote down his name on it.
Xu Botian was very suspicious: "Can you really develop a 5nm lithography machine within one year?"
Domestic technology is backward, and lithography machines made of 5nm are not necessarily created by Huatian, other domestic companies may not be able to take five years to create them.
Can he do it in one year?
Chen Yao shook his head: "It's not a year, half a year is enough!"
"Half, half a year?" Xu Botian stretched out his tongue long and almost bit off his tongue.
If it weren't for knowing that he was the founder of the legendary trajectory, Xu Botian would have blown him out of the company long ago, and bragging wouldn't be so outrageous.
Whether you succeed or not, you have to try it. There is no other way out now.
Chen Yao put down his signature pen and put his hands in his pockets and said, "In the future, I need someone to cooperate with my work. I want to meet the chief engineer of your company."
Xu Botian took out a piece of information from the drawer and placed it on the table: "You can take a look at his resume first."
Chen Yao took it in his hand and looked at it carefully.
Zhou Weiming, chief engineer of Huatian lithography machine, is 30 years old this year.
He has worked for Intel and Nvidia in Silicon Valley, and has also worked as an engineer at Zeiss in Germany. He is a top talent in the field of optics.
On the chip semiconductor journey, key figures are about to appear!
Xu Botian called Zhou Weiming and then took Chen Yao and Zhong Guoqiang downstairs.
When I arrived downstairs, I was about to walk towards the laboratory, when a man in a blue shirt quickly walked towards Chen Yao.
"Mr. Chen, this is the chief engineer of Huatian lithography machine, Zhou Weiming." Xu Botian introduced with a smile.
Next, Xu Botian will introduce Chen Yao to Zhou Weiming.
Before he could introduce it, Zhou Weiming said in a very excited tone: "I know you, your name is Chen Yao."
Chen Yao was stunned and asked in confusion: "How did you know me?"
Although I am a little famous in the technology industry, I am not well-known.
Zhou Weiming smiled and said, "In the bar, you sang a song that I still can't forget!"
Bar? Singing?
Chen Yao remembered that he was singing in a bar some time ago. He was the guy who was drunk in the bar and almost got vomited by him.
Xu Botian was confused when he heard this. Isn’t Chen Yao from the technology industry? Why did he go to the bar to sing? “How did you meet him?”
"Hahaha, it's a long story." Zhou Weiming held Chen Yao's shoulder very enthusiastically: "Brother, I'll treat you to a meal!"
It feels like this at first sight.
...
Friendly restaurant.
A square table with four people sitting around.
There are entrepreneur Xu Botian, scientist Zhong Guoqiang, engineer Zhou Weiming, and unicorn leader Chen Yao.
Zhou Weiming called a bottle of dark beer, opened it himself and filled it with a glass for Chen Yao: "Brother, thank you for your song. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have come out of the trough."
"What happened that night?" Xu Botian became even more confused.
Zhou Weiming told the story one by one about what happened that night.
Xu Botian nodded and understood. It turned out that Chen Yao sang a very inspiring song in the bar, "The Road Always Always", which inspired his fighting spirit.
During that time, Zhou Weiming was at the trough of his life and encountered great resistance in the research and development of lithography machines, and his heart was under pressure.
In addition, his girlfriend broke up, career and relationships almost collapsed.
Xu Botian was worried that he would be unable to think so he replaced his high-rise dormitory with a low-rise second floor.
What's amazing is that he went to the bar that night and he returned to normal. The energetic fighting spirit finally came back.
That song has such great magic?
Xu Botian was a little curious: "What's the name of that song?"
Chen Yaokeng said strongly: "The road is always there."
Chips are "circuit integration".
"I still remember the lyrics of that song, always moving forward, the road is always there." Zhou Weiming raised his wine glass: "Brother, cheer for our chip dream!"
"Ding!" Chen Yao raised his glass and clinked with him.
No one would have expected that the two of them would affect the world in the future.
