If you cheat, money will follow

A white shirt, an orange skirt, white sneakers... a very simple outfit, but Jiang Xia wears it as fresh and elegant as oxygen.

With good looks, you will have more options to choose from.

"Does it look good?" Jiang Xia stood in front of the mirror and looked at herself in the mirror.

There is still a trace of blush on the fair cheeks, which is a masterpiece before getting up in the morning.

Behind him, "Your temperament and figure don't need to be considered at all, right?" Chang Le said truthfully.

"Giggle...you are so sweet. Let's go then." Jiang Xia held Chang Le's hand and smiled happily.

Now that I have come to Taiwan, I naturally want to experience the customs, scenery and culture of various parts of the province.

After a night of searching, the two decided to take the southbound express train to Kenting, the southernmost tip of Taiwan Island. If they had the chance, they would also try the snorkeling fun of Wanlitong.

On the way, we might go to Xinjuejiang Business District.

While Chang Le and Jiang Xia were having fun at the southernmost tip of Taiwan Island, Liang Qingsong and his wife were discussing their final destination at home.

On the desk in the study room, there is a piece of paper written with the conditions listed by the two companies. The advantages and disadvantages are obvious.

"Apart from the benefits provided by the two companies, the most important thing is the position and technical reserves." Liang Qingsong said to his wife:

"Samsung provides directors of R&D departments. Their advantage lies in advanced technology. Like TSMC, they are at the top of the foundry pyramid and compete fiercely with TSMC. So they have sufficient power, technical reserves and financial support to have a smaller impact. line width."

“And this is also the most obvious disadvantage of Leda Investment.”

"Huahong Semiconductor's current manufacturing process remains in the mature process field, with micron-level process products as its main business line. It lacks sufficient motivation to pursue smaller line widths and has insufficient technical reserves."

"However, the position provided by Leda Investment is that of executive president. He is nominally second, but actually first. He can lead development. This is a new challenge for me."

"I can't make up my mind right now, so I'm asking for your opinion."

"My opinion is that you first need to know what you want in your heart? For example, why did you leave TSMC?" Ms. Li asked.

"Because they didn't get the attention they deserved, they were completely marginalized."

Liang Qingsong’s contribution to TSMC is recorded in history and indelible.

Around 2000, the world's mainstream semiconductor companies were making breakthroughs from 180nm to 130nm processes.

This breakthrough is a technological watershed.

Because the 180nm process and above are aluminum processes, when the aluminum process technology enters the 130nm node, there will be various problems that are difficult to overcome.

Liang Qingsong and his teacher innovatively used fin field effect transistors, the well-known FinFET technology solution, skipping the 150nm process node and directly entering the 130nm node, which was a great success.

This move allowed TSMC to equal the two-generation process gap with IBM.

It also completely got rid of its technological dependence on North America and occupied a place in the semiconductor industry.

In 2008, under the leadership of Liang Qingsong, TSMC successively broke through the 45nm and 40nm process nodes and achieved mass production, one position ahead of Samsung, and established the world's number one position in one fell swoop.

"Then you should already have the answer in your mind. I know that you have ideals and ambitions in the semiconductor field, and I hope to receive enough attention and support to realize this ideal and ambition."

"That's exactly what I want, so Samsung might be a better choice."

"I don't think so. As a leading company in the electronic information industry, Samsung has sufficient resources, technology and funds."

"Even without your joining, they can break through the 28nm process node. Your joining may speed up this time, but once successful, they may be forced to leave. You are an outsider after all."

"Then what do you mean?"

"I won't help you make a decision. I just help you analyze the pros and cons from my standpoint. On the surface, Leda Investment is a financial investment company. When it enters the semiconductor field, it has very obvious disadvantages in terms of technical reserves." Ms. Li continued:

"But just because you are a newcomer, they will pay enough attention to you and support you, and you will be able to gain more control. This can be clearly seen from the benefits and positions they offer..."

"The backwardness of the process cannot be used as a decisive factor. From scratch to something, from something to excellence, it is just a step-by-step process. From 0.13mm to 28nm process node, you have already experienced it, there is no gap, let alone a natural chasm..."

“当你带着华红半导体，从0.13mm到110nm、90nm、45nm……一直突破到28nm，你是处于主导地位的。”

"Even if we wait to break through the 28nm process node, it is still not the most advanced process node, but the respect and emotion we gain from leading the entire process are something we cannot gain from Samsung."

"In Samsung, no matter how great your achievements are, they will think that you are working hard for money and lack a sense of identity; in the Chinese world and the mainland, they will naturally think that you are working hard out of national sentiment and have a sense of identity. .”

“By then, you may not only be a successful technical leader or professional manager, but you may also be considered a founding minister, enter the annals of history, and be widely respected, just like Mr. Zhang, the founder of SMIC. "

"Although Mr. Zhang was forced to leave SMIC, he planted the seeds. When future generations talk about mainland semiconductors and SMIC, their name cannot be avoided. Isn't this more fulfilling?"

“I have always believed that the icing on the cake cannot be compared to providing help in times of need.”

Liang Qingsong was fascinated by what his wife said, but he still remained rational.

"Don't you want to go back to China?" Liang Qingsong asked.

"It doesn't matter. If we want to visit relatives, we can return home at any time. There is no need to tie jobs together."

"I went abroad to study and work when I was very young, and I have already adapted to life abroad."

"I like the social atmosphere in Taiwan very much. I think it will be easy to adapt to the same Chinese society in the mainland. As for South Korea, don't you find it very depressing?"

"One thing is that monopoly companies control too many resources, the class lacks mobility, and the solidification is serious. I think I roughly understand what you mean."

"Also, Mr. Chang came to our house with his girlfriend a few days ago. His girlfriend, Miss Jiang, and I chatted a lot, and accidentally revealed a little information."

"what's the message?"

"Leda's investment in the semiconductor field is not simply a market behavior or commercial move. There is a vague will of the management behind it."

"That's right. This can also explain that Minister Xu repeatedly stated before he came that there is no problem at all in acquiring Huahong Semiconductor. Under normal circumstances, it is very difficult for a private enterprise to acquire a state-owned enterprise with stable operations." Liang Qingsong understood.

"So, driven by the will of the management, Huahong will not always lag behind, right?"

"The Mainland is indeed a place where miracles are created. There are countless examples to prove this. There is no doubt about it. Now, I need to make a list." Liang Qingsong nodded.

"List?"

"Re-nurturing a team will waste time, building a mature team will save a lot of time."

"Will it involve the patent infringement problem encountered by Mr. Zhang?"

"Haha, Mr. Chang told me that on the patent issue, as long as they don't copy it blatantly, they have enough time, money and legal team to fight with the other party until Moore's Law expires..."
