Chapter 155 The tense relationship between Liang Mengfu and Jiang Shunyi
Although Liang Mengfu has a long-term feud with Jiang Shunyi and can even be said to be mortal enemies, he is still nominally a subordinate of Jiang Shunyi.
Since the other party wanted to talk to Liang Mengfu, he had to go.
After a while, Liang Mengfu arrived at the conference room on the first floor.
Jiang Shunyi and Dong Hui were already sitting here. Seeing that Dong Hui's expression was a little restless and at a loss, it was obvious that there was nothing good going on.
Of course, Liang Mengfu actually didn't expect anything good to happen.
Liang Mengfu sat down, looked at the two of them, and waited for them to speak.
Dong Hui smiled and said: "Old Liang,...Yes, Mr. Liang, the photoresist sample has been delivered, right?"
Liang Mengfu nodded: "We have arrived and are doing tests in the laboratory."
Jiang Shunyi sneered and said: "What other tests are you doing? It's so unnecessary to waste this time!"
Dong Hui quickly smiled and said: "Mr. Jiang, you can't say that. This is sent from the National Semiconductor Association with good intentions. No matter what, you have to go through the testing process and see what the results are."
Jiang Shunyi was noncommittal. Although he looked down on this organization and that association, he couldn't say anything else, lest others catch him.
It makes sense that Jiang Shunyi could reach his current position.
That is, Jiang Shunyi has a high emotional intelligence and knows what to say and what not to say, and who can and cannot be provoked.
To put it simply, it is two words - shrewdness.
Jiang Shunyi looked at Liang Mengfu and said: "Mr. Liang, there are some things that you can't rush. I will go back to Daowan in two days and discuss it with the people from Daowan and try to find a plan for Xiaori to sell goods there." come over."
Dong Hui and Liang Mengxiang looked at each other, not knowing how to respond.
Jiang Shunyi has said this several times. Although the words are different, the meaning is similar.
Anyway, it is necessary to use the relationship of Shima Semiconductor to solve the supply dilemma of semiconductor materials.
Jiang Shunyi added: "I'm 70 to 80 percent sure about this, but the problem is the price. It definitely can no longer be calculated based on the current market price."
Dong Hui was stunned for a moment and asked: "Mr. Jiang, have you had contact with them before? Is this what they said?"
Jiang Shunyi nodded: "Of course I have contacted them. They didn't say anything to death. They just said that this matter is difficult to handle and the management is too strict. But they didn't say that it's completely impossible, right?"
Dong Hui couldn't help but nodded.
But I still felt something was wrong. What Jiang Shunyi said was too vague. He said he was 70% or 80% sure, but it sounded like he was not sure at all.
Liang Mengfu didn't express anything, he still had a dull expression on his face, a state unique to a man in science and engineering.
Jiang Shunyi hates Liang Mengfu's behavior the most. He doesn't like it no matter how he looks at it, as if he is so noble.
Jiang Shunyi, like Liang Mengfu, was also engaged in technology before, but later switched to administrative management.
The main reason is that Jiang Shunyi has never been very interested in technology. He feels that all technical staff have character flaws and are difficult to communicate with.
Liang Mengfu is a typical example. Jiang Shunyi always feels that dealing with him is too strenuous, and the other party always seems to not understand human speech.
Dong Hui asked: "Mr. Jiang, do they mean they need more money?"
Jiang Shunyi nodded: "Yes, you just have to add money. This is the safest plan."
Dong Hui was silent for a few seconds: "A problem that can be solved with money is not a problem."
Liang Mengfu couldn't help but said: "The key is how much to add? We have to control costs."
Jiang Shunyi snorted coldly: "Control costs, how long has it been? If you can use it, it's good. How can you be picky?"
Dong Hui saw that the atmosphere was not right and said quickly: "Mr. Jiang, how much will the increase cost? Have they counted it?"
Jiang Shunyi waved his hand: "They didn't give a specific number, but I guess it will have to be increased by more than five times."
"Ah? More than five times? Isn't this the same as the price on the black market now?"
Jiang Shunyi's eyes widened: "How can it be the same as the black market? Can the products on the black market be comparable to those from the original manufacturer? It must be unreliable. It may be mixed with something. It's not like we haven't been fooled before! Besides, there is no guarantee in the black market. The supply is limited, you can’t buy it anytime!”
There is nothing wrong with what Jiang Shunyi said.
It is indeed possible to purchase high-end photoresist and high-purity hydrogen chloride from the black market for five times the price.
But the supply is limited, so you can’t just buy it when you want.
More importantly, if a black market merchant commits fraud, it is difficult to detect it, and even if it is detected, he will only suffer a loss.
Huaxin International has suffered losses twice in the past two months. It spent a lot of money, but it can only bite the bullet and swallow it.
Dong Hui asked Liang Mengfu: "Mr. Liang, if Mr. Jiang can really negotiate, then we can also solve the problem. The cost is a bit higher, but it is acceptable."
What could Liang Mengfu say? He sighed: "There's nothing we can do about it. As long as we can solve the supply problem, everything else is easy."
Jiang Shunyi laughed and said: "That's right, Mr. Liang, don't always be too arrogant. You should be more active. Solve the supply problem first, and then find ways to reduce costs."
Liang Mengxiang asked: "Mr. Jiang, when will it be resolved?"
Jiang Shunyi said calmly: "I can't say for sure. If it's quick, it will be within two months. If it's slow, maybe next year."
"...Ming, next year?"
Liang Mengfu couldn't help but raise his voice: "Mr. Jiang, the day lilies will be cold next year, we can't delay it until next year!"
Jiang Shunyi's eyes widened again: "Why is the day lily cold? What do you mean? Our 28 nanometer products are produced well, the main business can be maintained, and there will be no operational problems. As for 14 nanometers, slow down Come on, we don’t have any competitors in the mainland anyway, and the market will be ours sooner or later.”
Liang Mengfu said: "But now the environment does not allow for slow development. The National Semiconductor Association has come several times. Isn't the meaning obvious? It urges us to quickly improve the process technology, at least to complete 14 nanometers. "
Jiang Shunyi said calmly: "Done? Can you do it now? How can you do it without materials?"
It's really depressing to say this over and over again.
Dong Hui hurriedly tried to smooth things over: "Don't be anxious, everyone. Take your time. There's no point in rushing, right?"
Jiang Shunyi snorted coldly: "Don't worry about the other things for now. Anyway, we will pay them as much as they want."
Liang Mengfu said: "Let's wait a while to see the test results. If the batch of samples sent by the Semiconductor Association can pass the test, there is no need to ask grandpa to sue grandma to ask for help in childhood."
Jiang Shunyi stared at the boss: "Mr. Liang, I think you are dreaming too much. Can the photoresist made by domestic companies be used?"
Liang Mengfu said calmly: "You can't say so absolutely. There are some domestic companies with very good technology, but there was no demand for high-end photoresist before, so they didn't do it. Now that there is demand, they might be able to do it."
Jiang Shunyi pointed at Liang Mengfu and said: "Stop talking nice words to me here. Don't you know the virtues of those chemical companies in the mainland? Here's my word! If the things they make are really up to standard, I will resign immediately!"
Dong Hui said quickly: "Mr. Jiang, calm down, that's what Mr. Liang said, nothing else."
Jiang Shunyi was indeed angry, because Liang Mengfu always undermined his authority intentionally or unintentionally, which was intolerable. Jiang Shunyi wanted to be fired immediately for such an ignorant person.
Of course, Jiang Shunyi does not have this right.
Although Liang Mengfu is not as high-ranking as him, like Jiang Shunyi, he was directly appointed by the group's board of directors.
It was agreed that Jiang Shunyi would be in charge of management and Liang Mengfu would be in charge of technology.
So in theory, neither of them can do anything to the other. However, Jiang Shunyi has many options. After a few months, or at most half a year, if Huaxin International still cannot break through the threshold of advanced chip process technology, then Liang Mengfu will definitely not be able to withstand the blow and will be disheartened.
Even if the board of directors doesn't cause trouble for Liang Mengfu, he is likely to leave on his own initiative.
Because Liang Mengfu's self-esteem is too strong.
This is also the reason why Jiang Shunyi is not actively solving the photoresist supply problem now.
Jiang Shunyi had to wait until Liang Mengfu couldn't stay any longer, so that he could kill this annoying guy without any effort.
At this moment, music sounded, which was Liang Mengfu’s cell phone ringtone.
Liang Mengfu looked at the caller ID and saw that the call was from an employee of the technical department.
Dong Hui quickly asked: "Lao Liang, have the photoresist test results come out?"
Liang Mengfu said: "It should be that the preliminary test results are not accurate, but they can be used as a reference."
When Dong Hui heard this, he became excited: "Then take it quickly and let's hear the result."
Liang Mengfu actually pressed the answer button long ago and started communicating with the other party.
Jiang Shunyi looked disapproving and didn't think it was a good result at all.
Who knew that Liang Mengfu's expression changed after hearing a few words from the other party.
"Wha, what? All meet the requirements? Do all the indicators meet the requirements?"
"...Are you sure? How many times have the results been confirmed?"
"Okay, okay, then I'll go over and take a look right away. Don't move yet."
After saying that, Liang Mengfu hung up the phone.
Dong Hui couldn't sit still anymore: "Lao Liang, what's going on? What's going on over there? What's the test result?"
Liang Mengfu calmed down for a while and replied: "All indicators have met the standards, and the performance is very good!"
"...Ah!? What? Really? Performed very well? Is it so great?"
Jiang Shunyi couldn't help but said: "This is just a preliminary test, not accurate."
Liang Mengfu shook his head: "No, no, even if it is a preliminary test, it is unusual to have this performance. There is a gap, but the gap cannot be too big. I will go and take a look, and you guys will talk first."
After saying that, Liang Mengfu stood up and left the office.
Dong Hui and Jiang Shunyi looked at each other, and the atmosphere was very awkward.
Dong Hui finally couldn't help but said, "Well, Mr. Jiang, if nothing happens, I'll go over and take a look first."
Jiang Shunyi frowned and waved his hand.
Dong Hui didn't care about anything else and left directly.
When Dong Hui arrived at the laboratory, he saw many people gathered around the testing equipment. It was eerily quiet and no one spoke.
Dong Hui squeezed forward and found Liang Mengfu sitting in front of the testing equipment, staring at the screen without blinking.
Obviously, Liang Mengfu was carefully checking the test results.
Dong Hui didn't dare to disturb Liang Mengfu, and he didn't even dare to say a word.
Suddenly, Liang Mengfu finally looked away and let out a sigh of relief.
Dong Hui couldn't help but ask: "Old Liang, have you finished reading?"
Liang Mengfu nodded.
"what's the result?"
"Good, really good."
"ah?"
Dong Hui didn't understand what Liang Mengfu meant for a while.
Just listen to Liang Mengfu's explanation: "The test results are ideal, very ideal, all indicators are qualified."
Dong Hui's eyes almost popped out of his head, but he still couldn't believe this conclusion, but Lao Liang was authoritative, so it should be impossible for him to get it wrong.
"Lao Liang, this is a preliminary test, how different is it from the actual situation?"
Liang Mengfu said: "There is a gap, but it is not that big, and these indicators exceed the standards by too much. Even if there is a gap, it should not affect its use."
"That, that's great! This is great news!"
Other employees in the laboratory were also beaming.
"marvelous!"
"I just said it must be qualified!"
"I feel it's better than what I used to buy when I was young."
Liang Mengfu quieted everyone down and said solemnly: "To be on the safe side, the test must continue. Everyone is working overtime today to try to get the official test results out as soon as possible."
Everyone responded in unison, full of energy, gearing up, and eager to try.
In fact, working overtime is nothing. As long as it's not invalid overtime. Pay overtime. Neither will object. There must be a sense of accomplishment.
At the same time, Ming Shunyi also returned to the office. He seemed restless and restless.
Normally, test results are unlikely to be ideal. But look at Liang Mengfu. Unusual indeed.
Do the samples sent by the National Semiconductor Association really meet the requirements?
This is impossible!
The National Semiconductor Association must have obtained the photoresist sample from a domestic company. It cannot be qualified!
But what if you pass?
Jiang Shunyi broke out in a cold sweat when he thought of this, and became even more confused and confused.
If this photoresist is really qualified, then Jiang Shunyi's plan may be ruined.
Let alone getting rid of the annoying Liang Mengfu, it is hard to say whether Jiang Shunyi can continue to secure his position in Huaxin International.
Jiang Shunyi came to Huaxin International not just to be a senior executive, but also had a shady purpose, which was to slow down the development of Huaxin semiconductor technology.
Although Jiang Shunyi left Island Semiconductor, he has very close ties with Island Semiconductor and even still retains shares of Island Semiconductor.
If Huaxin International really breaks through 14 nanometers, and even develops to advanced processes below 10 nanometers, then Island Semiconductor's advantages will become smaller and smaller, and it will gradually lose its competitiveness.
In addition, the lighthouse countries on the other side of the ocean have also put great pressure on Island Semiconductor.
If Jiang Shunyi loses his identity, how will he stay in the circle in the future?
Jiang Shunyi only hopes that his worries are unfounded. The photoresist samples sent by the National Semiconductor Association will not be successful!
