Chapter 185 The Night Before Leaving
"Brother Liang, why do I feel that you are a little sad?" Chen Yuanguang asked, this kind of emotion was very rare for him.
He knew very well that the other party had a fighter's mentality and it was difficult to have emotional fluctuations.
Liang Mengsong said: "Have you watched the news recently?"
Chen Yuanguang said: "It's been a while."
Liang Mengsong gave an overview of TSMC’s recent encounters.
Chen Yuanguang said: "This is a good thing. TSMC will always be a distant cousin in 4V, and they will become biological sons when they go to the Federation."
After listening to this, Liang Mengsong knew that the other party still didn't understand, "They After joining the Federation, it will definitely disappear within five years.
Either it will be acquired by Intel or Texas Instruments.
TSMC can only avoid the fate of being acquired by 4V. If it goes to the Federation, it will disappear. Not by oneself.
You don’t know that when TSMC goes to build a factory in Arizona, they are required to disclose large-scale key technical details. If they all move to the federal government, there may be more excessive requirements. "
Chen Yuanguang said: "Well, that's also a good thing. Being acquired does not mean disappearing.
TSMC’s production capacity and production lines are still there, but the name is gone. "
He has no feelings for TSMC, unlike Liang Mengsong, and Chen Yuanguang can't understand how Liang Mengsong still has feelings for his old employer.
You must know that TSMC can't describe him in a bad way. , it is simply bad, from Samsung to SMIC.
In the end, he reconciled with TSMC not only because he paid a sufficient price, but also because his age and the technology he mastered were put behind him.
When the lawsuit was over, TSMC let Liang Meng-song go when he was almost 70 years old and the technology he mastered was already outdated. This shows that his intentions are vicious.
So after hearing about this past experience from Liang Mengsong, Chen Yuanguang really couldn't understand it.
After listening, Liang Mengsong said helplessly: "Yuan Guang, you still don't understand. TSMC treats me badly. This is a management problem, but TSMC engineers and 4V people are innocent.
After TSMC is forced to relocate to the federal government, it will cause heavy damage to 4V’s GDP and the entire economy
The entire 4V semiconductor industry and consumer electronics industry will be seriously affected, and everyone will probably have a hard time. ”
Chen Yuanguang now understood why the other party was sad, but he was not sad at all. As a former senior netizen, he knew the mentality of the islanders very well, how deep the hostility towards them was, and even The hostility is deeper and more inexplicable than that of the Neon people.
So he wishes the islanders were unlucky. How could they realize the cruelty of the status quo and seek change if they weren't?
This is what Chen Yuanguang thought. .
But considering Liang Mengsong’s mood, Chen Yuanguang comforted him: “If TSMC engineers are unwilling to go to Amerikan, they can consider coming to the mainland. The mainland is short of engineers.
If we want to expand rapidly in the semiconductor industry, we need talents from all over the world.
4V and we have the same roots, so there is no cultural or language barrier when we cooperate. "
Liang Mengsong nodded: "Yuan Guang, before I asked my former colleagues at TSMC, they had already taken the initiative to find me and asked if they could come to the mainland.
They are not just asking themselves, but asking a group of people behind them, and some of them do not want to go to Amerikan.
They asked me how I would be treated if I came to a Chinese chip company and whether they could help pay the liquidated damages.
SMIC has set up a special working group internally to connect these engineers and recruit them to the mainland.
They are the real essence of TSMC. They have worked at TSMC all their lives and are definitely good at craftsmanship.
Some of these engineers have been working at TSMC since the 1990s, and their proficiency in Nikon's equipment is not comparable to that of young people. "
The young people Liang Mengsong mentioned are at least forty years old.
"Yes, it is not a good thing for TSMC, but for us and the mainland's semiconductor industry Definitely a good thing.
In my impression, every time TSMC has internal struggles or process failures, some engineers will leave. "Chen Yuanguang said.
Liang Mengsong nodded: "You are right. When SMIC was first established, it poached many engineers from TSMC.
At that time, there was fierce fighting among the top management, which caused a group of people to leave TSMC and go to SMIC.
The entire relocation of the best parts of TSMC to the Federation is an unprecedented turmoil. Anyone who has been able to stay at TSMC for such a long time has experienced all kinds of turmoil in the past few years.
They definitely don’t want to get involved in new turmoil, so the number of people who want to come to the mainland is far more than I imagined. And now the mainland understands that there are a lot of opportunities. The market size and future prospects brought by topological semi-metals are visible to the naked eye.
Even if Americen does not cooperate with us, the technological strength of local Chinese companies alone is enough to create a new semiconductor empire.
Opportunities, stability, culture, etc. are all better for them than Amerikan, so many TSMC engineers want to come to mainland China.
The only thing blocking this matter is TSMC. Whether they can tolerate it will lead to various lawsuits.
However, unlike the situation I encountered back then, if TSMC sues again, we can completely ignore it. China has this confidence.
So they are facing a much better situation than I was. "Liang Mengsong looked a little melancholy.
In his opinion, all the past problems have disappeared, and the grievances with TSMC can be wiped out.
He feels that the reason why TSMC was forced to leave his hometown and go to Texas is It’s because Topological Semi-Metal puts so much pressure on Amerikan that they need to take a lot of unconventional measures to maintain the situation.
“After I bought my first BYD car, my life changed. There are more and more products from Huaguo. At the beginning of this year, I bought another Xpeng X9.
Sorry, the damn name is really hard to pronounce. It is equipped with Huaguo’s latest perovskite battery technology. The battery life is up to 800 kilometers. Taking into account the energy replenishment effect of the perovskite battery, it can allow you to reject mileage anxiety when traveling.
Its price is only 60,000 euros. You must know that this is a large MPV with a length of 5293cm and a width of 1988cm. If we choose a European brand, we can only buy ID.BUZZ. The design is simply stupid, not to mention that it has no Perovskite batteries cannot compare with Xpeng in terms of actual battery life, riding experience and comfort.
However, today the Chinese brand I am looking forward to the most, Huawei’s high-end flagship phone, has finally returned. I spent 20,000 euros on the latest Huawei Super Master at the seafood market.
It is equipped with China's latest chip technology, which is called topological semi-metal. It is really a confusing name, which helps it achieve the same use experience as 1nm chips.
You heard me right in front of the screen. The Chinese have advanced the chip manufacturing process to 1nm. The Huawei in my hand uses 1nm chips. Are you scared?
While Apple chips are still stuck in the 4nm process and will reach the 3nm process at most this year, the Chinese have quietly advanced the process to 1nm.
This is such an exaggeration. Various measures taken by the Federation seem like a joke in front of Huawei’s latest Extraordinary Master!
This also makes us realize that the Federation is not omnipotent. Their technological myth has once again been broken by the Chinese. Why do we say it again, because room temperature superconductivity is not far away.
Okay, let me bring you the latest experience of this mobile phone equipped with a 1nm chip.”
YouTube and foreign Douyin are filled with a lot of comments about this extraordinary master. In the review, everyone gave it high praise.
Even YouTube’s throttling can’t stop it from becoming an explosive topic around the world.
With Musk's delivery and the impression Huawei left on consumers around the world a few years ago, everyone's memory has been awakened.
Why did Huawei suddenly disappear? How much effort did it put in to come back this time? China's technological level has advanced by leaps and bounds in the past two years, and how far China's semiconductor industry has developed.
All of this is becoming a hot topic around the world.
Europe is gloating because they do not have a smartphone industry and the semiconductor industry is mainly based on chip design, so the impact is limited.
Third world countries such as Asia, Africa and Latin America are rejoicing that the earth has more than one voice. In the future, they may be able to escape the current fate of being exploited by the ebb and flow of the dollar, and have more confidence when facing the federation. Lots of room to move around.
"Mr. Qin, to use a Chinese idiom, TSMC should have a change of heart now. I heard that many engineers below are in contact with Chinese companies and trying to leave their jobs to join Chinese companies.
Yes. No such thing?" Ursula Burns asked.
Ursula is TSMC’s new independent director, and his real identity is Vice Chairman of the Federal Department of Commerce’s Supply Chain Competitiveness Advisory Committee.
To put it simply, they are supervisors sent by the federal government to TSMC to supervise their relocation.
The first thing this guy did after arriving at 4v was to visit AIT.
When Qin Yongpei saw Ursula say this, he knew that the other party knew about it: "I heard about it too.
After all, not everyone can adapt to the environment of Amerikan, and the customs and habits of China are Being closer to 4v, it is only natural that they would like to work in China.”
After chatting with Ursula once, Qin Yongpei knew that this person was difficult to deal with, just because of his fluent speaking. The Chinese language shows that Ursula understands Chinese culture very well.
"So TSMC just watched its engineers being poached by competitors?" Ursula asked.
“No, we have a non-competition agreement to bind them, and they will have to pay a huge price if they want to leave.” Qin Yongpei said.
Because Qin Yongpei was forced to move away, and he would be there for the rest of his life, he did not embarrass his old gang. If they wanted to go to China, they could go, as long as they paid liquidated damages in accordance with the contract.
At this juncture, we really have to fly away when disaster strikes.
"No, no, no, I'm afraid the competition agreement is not enough. If they go to China, how can 4v and the federal competition agreement restrain them?
You should understand the threat and inducement, right? Let None of them can leave TSMC!" Ursula's tone was filled with murderous intent.
