After seeing off Lawyer Chi, Chen Yazhi saw a list sent by Yang Xiaobao via email.

Yang Xiaobao is very efficient. He quickly drew up a list of R&D personnel. These people will be independent of the company and form a new R&D team.

This team will later shoulder the important task of creating a domestic semiconductor industry together with the research institute of Modu Microelectronics Research Institute.

Chen Yazhi took a look at the list and found that most of them had never been abroad. Among them, less than ten people had returned after studying abroad.

Chen Yazhi was curious about an engineer named Wei Yidong.

This person is a top student in the junior class of HKUST. He studied abroad for five years and stayed in Lingfeiying for four full years. But when he was thirty years old, he returned to China in 2005 and joined Xinhuo International.

.

Chen Yazhi really wanted to meet this young genius and wanted to know if he had returned to China with an innocent heart as he thought.

...

After get off work, Chen Yazhi went to the 1.2 micron production line.

Because there are two shifts, the production line is still brightly lit at this moment.

When the security guard at the production area saw Chen Yazhi, he quickly walked up and yelled: "Why don't you wear protective shoes?"

Chen Yazhi waved his hand awkwardly, then went to the door of the workshop and changed into craft clothes.

When he entered the factory this time, the security guard stopped him again and said, "Who are you? Why do you want to enter here? You can't enter this production area without a company's license, don't you know?"

Chen Yazhi had no choice but to go back and called Wei Yidong. He wanted to have dinner with him.

He originally wanted to visit the production line and chat with Wei Yidong. Unexpectedly, it was so complicated, so he had to ask Wei Yidong out.

...

Wei Yidong didn't get off work until ten o'clock in the evening.

When Chen Yazhi saw him, he was wearing a dark blue overalls, a production line work cap, and a pair of black safety shoes.

I don't know whether it's because of nature or because I'm too tired. My eyelids are droopy, as if I haven't woken up.

Wei Yidong saw Chen Yazhi and asked, "Are you looking for me?"

Chen Yazhi said: "Yes, I'm looking for you. I'm Chen Yazhi."

Wei Yidong said: "Well, you are the new acting chairman. What do you want from me? I have to go to my girlfriend's place later, and I may only have about eleven minutes to give you."

Chen Yazhi said: "I'll drive you off."

Wei Yidong said: "No, I will walk over. If you are willing, you can go with me."

Chen Yazhi said: "Okay."

The weather in October was still a bit hot. The two of them walked slowly on the road beside the flower bed.

There were a lot of chirping sounds of insects all around, and occasionally cars and battery cars passed by.

Chen Yazhi was the first to speak: "You studied abroad at the University of California for five years? And then you went to Lingfeiying, right?"

Wei Yidong said: "Yes, I stayed there for nearly nine years."

Chen Yazhi said: "Why do you want to come back? The treatment there is not good?"

Wei Yidong said: "There is no special reason. I want to come back and do something."

Chen Yazhi listened to his words and they were all very brief. He didn't seem to be a good talker. He asked, "How did you come to Xinhuo International?"

Wei Yidong said: "I originally went to the Magic City Microelectronics Research Institute for a while, but the resources provided there were really too few. Moreover, their system was relatively rigid, and I really didn't have much room to display, so I came out.

"It happened that Jiang Yihang from Core Fire International contacted me through a tutor in China, so I came here."

Chen Yazhi said: "What do you think of this place?"

Wei Yidong said: "Which aspect do you mean? Treatment or conditions?"

Chen Yazhi said: "All refer to it."

Wei Yidong said: "The salary is okay, but actually I don't care much about it. However, the scientific research resources are not particularly sufficient. Although they are better than Modu Microelectronics, they are still very limited.

"When I was at Lingfeiying, they were very guarded against foreign engineers like us, just like they were guarding against thieves. There were many laboratories that we couldn't enter. This was one of the reasons why I came back in the first place.

"When I was here, I also encountered the same problem. Although the laboratory has opened permissions for us, it needs to be approved by the leaders at all levels. This has a great impact on our efficiency.

"In addition, China is indeed very weak in this area. Therefore, many experimental equipment are quite backward. Compared with equipment, experimental data is also very scarce, and it takes more time to explore by yourself."

Chen Yazhi nodded and said: "Well, the two points you mentioned are very pertinent. What improvements do you think we can make if we want to improve our efficiency?"

Wei Yidong said: "You mean to let our semiconductor industry catch up with foreign countries, right?"

Chen Yazhi said: "Yes, this is the right understanding."

Wei Yidong said: "It requires a lot of money, a lot of people, and a lot of time."

Chen Yazhi said: "If you are given enough money and enough people, how long do you think it will take? What I mean is to catch up with car-level chips first."

Wei Yidong said: "It will take five years. We are currently conquering the 80-nanometer process chip. Once we break through, the subsequent more subtle processes will also be easily solved."

Chen Yazhi said: "Well, you are studying abroad, so you should know a lot of classmates. Are they all in China?"

Wei Yidong said: "Abroad, only two people from my class have returned. The other one is Su Tianqing, and he works at Del High Precision Equipment."

Chen Yazhidao: "I now want to set up a research laboratory independent of Corefire International. Are you willing to cooperate with me and create our own semiconductor industry?"

Wei Yidong said: "Well, I have heard about it. Mr. Chen, I am very willing to do such a thing. I very much hope to make some contribution to our own semiconductor industry."

Chen Yazhi said: "I am very happy that you have such spirit."

Wei Yidong suddenly said: "Mr. Chen, I'm already here. My girlfriend is waiting for me on the roadside."

It was an old community next to Zhangjiang Metro Station.

Wei Yidong waved to the other side of the road.

After a while, a woman wearing a yellow floral skirt came over.

Wei Yidong was the first to introduce: "Feng, this is our chairman. Mr. Chen, this is my girlfriend Liu Jinfeng."

Liu Jinfeng took the initiative to reach out and said: "Mr. Chen, I have heard of your name for a long time. The Hot Wheels New Energy you founded is very famous in our circle."

Chen Yazhi said: "Everywhere, I was just fooling around. In the eyes of you professionals, it's like a child playing house." After a pause, he asked: "Ms. Liu, what do you do?"

Liu Jinfeng smiled sweetly and said: "I study automotive electrical machinery. At the moment, I am just a teacher in the university."

When Chen Yazhi heard this, he immediately said: "What a coincidence, we happen to be short of a position for a motor expert there. If you don't mind that our company is too silly, would you be willing to come over and give us some guidance?"

Liu Jinfeng smiled and said: "No wonder Mr. Chen has created such a big career at such a young age. He is so nice to talk to. However, I still prefer the teaching industry. So, I can only accept your kindness. Thank you for your kindness."

Chen Yazhi heard that her attitude was very decisive, so he no longer forced it, and said wisely: "Okay, then I won't disturb you two, and let's go."
