Chapter 391 Although I am wearing a dress, my heart is still Chinese.
Qin Tao nodded.
“You are right, so we wait no time and use this window period to develop as soon as possible.” Qin Tao said: “First of all, our company is completely private and does not have any government background. It is open to take advantage of Dongfang’s labor cost advantages for production, and this company does not do any chip design.”
In terms of chip design, Ni Lao’s Loongson Corporation and SMIC engage in OEM processing.
“In this way, with your connections, we should be able to get a chance to breathe and use this opportunity to develop rapidly. Then, we can move upstream and concentrate our efforts on developing related technologies.”
There are actually photolithography machines in China, but the technology is relatively backward. Huge investment is required in this area, and the results have not yet been seen. Even the original ASML was sold because it was not profitable, and it was revived in the hands of the new owner.
However, if domestic chips want to stand out, they must study these technologies.
Mingzhou Group's profitability is very strong, and Qin Tao, the decision-maker, also has the power to make decisions at any time, so he can allocate part of the funds to develop this industry.
Furthermore, as long as it develops, the profits in the future will be quite considerable.
Since you have decided to join this industry, you must be the best in this industry.
In fact, as long as there are technical experts, it is not necessarily necessary to lose money from the beginning. Although it will cost 500 million US dollars to build a factory, as long as Zhang Rujin is in charge, it will not take long for SMIC to make a steady stream of profits from 64 MB memory sticks. embark on the track of healthy development.
If we rely on Zhang Rujin's ability to bring back a batch of chip orders, we will be able to make even more money.
“A completely private company? According to our domestic situation, this is generally a national project, right?”
"Yes, so far, they are all national projects. Ours is the first private project." Qin Tao said: "It is precisely because of private projects that we can give full play to our subjective initiative. Without the influence of state-owned enterprises, Only with that kind of shackles can we develop better.”
Qin Tao is still confident in the company’s development.
"As for the specific composition of the company." Qin Tao thought for a while and continued: "We, Mingzhou Group, hold 51% of the shares. However, our shares are dry shares and we will not interfere with SMIC. In any business operation, even when needed, we can continue to inject funds to help enterprises overcome the initial development difficulties."
Zhang Rujin looked at Qin Tao in surprise, and Mr. Ni's face was even more incredulous.
The conditions given by Mr. Qin are too good, right?
The investment in the entire company belongs to the Mingzhou Group. If it were other CEOs, they would have to hold at least 90% of the shares, or even more. Who are those who are engaged in technology?
Just like Mr. Ni, his Hanka revitalized the entire Lxiang Group and became a key product for initial profits. However, his shares in the Lxiang Group are zero. Now that he wants to withdraw from the Lxiang Group, he will go out with Jingshen. The same as the household.
Qin Tao wants to give the other party 49% of the shares?
Moreover, they are all dry shares, only pay dividends, and do not participate in the business decisions of the company, nor do they make decisions?
"Of the remaining shares, 40% of the shares belong to you, and you are the top leader within the entire company. The remaining 9% of the shares can be given to other technical personnel attracted by you."
Qin Tao must do this.
The reason is also very simple.
Qin Tao is familiar with shipbuilding, but not with chip making! It can be said that Qin Tao contributed money and Zhang Rujin contributed. Moreover, Zhang Rujin is the soul of it. His value is actually higher than the US$500 million invested by Qin Tao!
Hence, Qin Tao must give the other party a high enough share in order to retain the other party. You can't just shout ideals and slogans to make others selfless, you must give tangible benefits to the other party.
After all, the so-called SMIC is still on paper. Without Zhang Rujin, it would always be on paper. Even if Sanhang Electronics fulfilled the contract and the factory was established, the production and operation would not be handled by a layman like Qin Tao.
So, Qin Tao must provide such conditions.
Zhang Rujin smiled: "Mr. Qin, if it weren't for the strength of Mingzhou Group in shipbuilding, I would have thought you were not a businessman. Your conditions are too detrimental to yourself."
“As long as it is beneficial to our country’s semiconductor industry.”
Qin Tao's words shocked Zhang Rujin again.
“If this company can be established, there will be no need to invest more money in the future. I have this confidence. Moreover, after the company is listed, it will be able to raise enough funds through the stock market.”
"Ahem, cough." Qin Tao interrupted Zhang Rujin embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I just said that I don't intend to interfere with the company's specific operations, but I still want to express my own opinions on this aspect."
“Mr. Qin, please speak.”
“It is true that listing a company can raise a lot of funds, but such a company is also easily manipulated by the capital market, so besides listing, there is another way to choose.”
"In what way?"
"Internal stock allotment for employees." Qin Tao said: "Formal employees who join our SMIC, after one or two years of work, are eligible to receive the company's internal stock allotment and receive dividends at the end of the year. This will bring a lot of benefits to employees. This additional income can also solve the company's problem of tight funds. Of course, this share is also a dry share, and it only enjoys dividends and does not have the power to participate in the company's decision-making."
Many companies are eager to go public, make a fortune on the stock market, and then sell their shares to cash out. The company will then go bankrupt and close down, playing a beautiful game of white wolf with empty gloves.
Therefore, many people say that domestic people are not open-minded. If they have money, they know how to buy a house, look abroad, and invest money in the stock market to promote the normal development of the country's economy.
In addition to the tradition of the big guys, another important reason is that the stock market is unhealthy. After being deceived, who will take the bait again? Stocks that do not pay dividends are just a game of drumming and passing flowers.
Many companies are not listed, just like Laoganma.
A reporter asked, why don’t you go public?
Answer, what are the benefits of going public?
Can raise funds.
We are not short of funds.
Some companies have chosen to allocate shares to their employees. If the employees can make money, they will naturally have a sense of identification with the company, which achieves multiple benefits. More importantly, without going public, competitors cannot defeat themselves in the stock market.
SMIC will definitely face a similar situation if it develops and grows in the future, so Qin Tao proposed this plan.
However, Qin Tao will not interfere. If Zhang Rujin insists, then he will also listen to Zhang Rujin.
“What President Qin said is a way, I will seriously consider it.” Zhang Rujin said.
“Then do you agree?” Qin Tao had a smile on his face.
“I need to go back and ask my parents.”
Zhang Rujin is not a mother's boy, but he still has to listen to his parents' opinions on such important matters that will affect his future life.
Qin Tao nodded: "Then we will wait for you in Huating. I also hope you can bring more people back."
Anyway, after signing the agreement with Sanxing Electronics, it will take a year to build the factory. After the factory is established, Zhang Rujin and the others will have a place to play. In this year, it will be enough for Zhang Rujin to lobby everywhere and lead a group of people. A large number of technical backbones have returned.
Zhang Rujin nodded.
Qin Tao's schedule was very tight. He took a plane back that night. This trip back and forth was very frustrating for Mr. Ni. He originally planned to rest on the plane, but when he thought about what he was going to do next, he was very excited and excited at all. Just can't sleep.
After getting off the plane, Mr. Ni’s eyes were red, just like a rabbit.
Qin Tao is different. He has already rested on the plane and can continue to work after getting off the plane.
So far, all this is his unilateral decision and has not been discussed with the relevant departments.
Of course Qin Tao did not go alone to this kind of negotiation, but brought his father-in-law with him.
"Taozi, you have been missing these days, what are you doing?" Wu Shengli couldn't help but ask after seeing Qin Tao.
"I have been idle these days. Dad, Xiaoling is about to be born. Should we go and investigate to see which confinement nanny is the most suitable?"
Wu Shengli nodded.
As a result, the car drove all the way to the government compound!
Wu Shengli looked at Xu Zhengyang doubtfully.
This time came and went in a hurry, and the matter had nothing to do with shipbuilding or warships, so Xu Zhengyang had not had time to report.
"I'm thirsty. Let's go up and get a cup of tea. Dad, let's go up together."
In this way, Wu Shengli was brought to the conference room by Qin Tao. When he saw that it was full of people, Wu Shengli knew that he had been deceived.
This is clearly like a meeting!
Wu Shengli glanced at Qin Tao dissatisfied and made a decision. I would drink tea without saying anything.
Of course Qin Tao didn't need Wu Shengli to say anything, he just wanted Wu Shengli to sit down.
“We, Mingzhou Group, are cooperating with Sanhang Heavy Industry to build a new shipyard on Chongming Island. We also ask the government to allocate a large area of land near our aircraft carrier park to us to build a new shipyard.”
"Of course there is no problem. It was originally planned to be built there as our shipbuilding base, and the existing shipyards are planning to be relocated there. It is normal for you to go there in advance to open up wasteland. Mr. Qin, there is no need for us to hold a special meeting on this matter. , give you the green light directly.”
"Well, Mr. Ni and I discussed it and decided to set up a Loongson company to develop our own chips." Qin Tao said: "We hope to grant us a piece of land in Pudong to open this company."
“No problem, we have set aside a special area and plan to build a high-tech park. How about setting it up there?”
This is considered to be an investment promotion. Of course everyone is happy and supportive. Why not?
However, someone frowned.
“Mr. Qin, is this company only responsible for design, or is it also responsible for production?”
“Only responsible for design.” Qin Tao said.
“What about production? At present, the most advanced company in our country is Huajing Company. It has just passed the approval and started construction, but the production line is already behind.”
As expected, there are still professionals here. The leader who spoke up came from the grassroots level in the electronic system.
“In terms of production, we have reached a cooperation agreement with Sanxing Electronics to invest 500 million to build the world’s leading 8-inch wafer fab, using a 0.35 micron process.”
What?
The whole conference room was in a commotion.
Wu Shengli was still drinking tea there because he didn’t understand.
An investment of 500 million is not a small figure, but now the Mingzhou Group is extremely rich. Every time Qin Tao goes out, he can make tens or even hundreds of millions of profits back. How could these people present be shocked by such a number?
Wu Shengli gave these people an evaluation.
“Mr. Qin, will this factory also be built in our Huating?”
“Then it depends on what conditions Huating can offer.”
This is the highlight.
Qin Tao worked hard to pull it together and invested huge sums of money himself. He does not want the government to pay, but the policy must provide sufficiently favorable conditions.
“We will give you the lowest price for factory land!”
“After the factory is established, it will be exempted from tax for the first five years, and then the tax will be reduced by half.”
When he heard this, Wu Shengli put down his tea cup. What happened? The conditions you offered are too good, right? Is this necessary?
"Any more? A group of employees in our company have returned from abroad, and the top talents gathered in the country are also top talents. Their children are also elites and must be well cultivated."
“Well, next to the factory land, we will grant you a piece of construction land to solve the housing problem of employees. On this construction land, we will also build supporting kindergartens, primary schools and middle schools.”
Qin Tao nodded: "Well, that's pretty much it."
Wu Shengli opened his eyes wide: "Taozi, how can you enjoy such high treatment in this factory?"
“Leader Wu, you don’t understand. If this factory is built, then Huating will become the largest and most advanced chip production base in China!”
Huating City has always been a window to the outside world and an international metropolis. However, it lost to Wuxi in the 908 Project. This is a thorn in their hearts.
Now, if they can build this factory, they can surpass Project 908 and become the leader in this field!
How could they give up this opportunity?
All kinds of preferential treatment will be given to everyone who deserves it!
“The largest and most advanced chip base?” Wu Shengli looked at Qin Tao with some surprise.
Qin Tao nodded solemnly: "Yes, SMIC, controlled by our Mingzhou Group, will not only become the strongest chip manufacturer in our country, but will also gain a foothold in the world. Our country's chip industry is Weaknesses will be made up for by SMIC.”
“SMIC, this is a great name!”
“Yes, it will definitely become the symbol of our Huating in the future!”
Wu Shengli still doesn’t understand.
However, all of Qin Tao's projects have been completed, and the relevant land and policies were all approved at once. Bringing his father-in-law here didn't seem to have any effect.
On the way back to the car, Wu Shengli couldn't help but ask.
“Taozi, what kind of medicine are you selling in this gourd?”
“Dad, what inspiration did the war in 1991 give to our army?”
“It was a high-tech war, and in the future, high-tech will be king.”
“Then what does high technology rely on?”
"chip."
When the answer came to this point, Wu Shengli reacted: "You mean, these projects today are also for our army?"
Qin Tao smiled: "It is mainly for civilian use, but the military will definitely benefit from it. Last time at the 14th Institute, weren't you still worried about using imported chips? In the future, our main weapons and equipment will also be able to Use your own chips."
SMIC is for civilian use and produces civilian products. However, since no one checks it, it is possible to help process some military chips, or directly use various names to place orders using military chips as civilian chips.
Furthermore, many chips can be used both military and civilian, so production is not a problem.
SMIC is just an introduction. When the domestic chip industry is fully developed in the future, relevant technologies are available, workers are trained, and the equipment can be produced by itself, it is even possible to establish a factory that only supports the production of the military.
In short, as long as the industrial chain develops, everything is possible.
Wu Shengli's heart welled up with expectations.
The development of military industry requires the entire national industry as the basis. Nowadays, the development of advanced fighter jets is difficult. This is because the industrial base is not enough and advanced aero engines cannot be developed.
As for the navy, it lags behind even more.
The Navy is about to enter the era of professional air defense ships. However, the chips on them are still used from abroad, which is risky. In the future, if we can produce them all by ourselves, there is no need to worry!
“Our country is too backward in this area. It’s great that your Mingzhou Group can make efforts in this area, but do you understand these technologies?”
Qin Tao shook his head.
“Can you do a good job in these projects? Even if the state invests huge amounts of money, you can’t do it. Do you have the ability?”
“Of course, we have invited professionals. He will come back to help with lofty ideals.”
Hand Island.
Zhang Rujin returned home.
For him, this is a major choice in life, and he wants to listen to his parents' opinions.
“If I continue to stay at Texas Instruments, I can work until I retire. But if I go to Huating, I will start over.” Zhang Rujin looked at his parents: “I want to hear your opinions.”
“Hui, why not?” The mother’s answer was almost without hesitation.
"My child, your mother and I were evacuated from there back then. Although we live on the island, we are always concerned about the motherland." The father also said: "Now, if we have the opportunity to return to the motherland, To serve the motherland, we are willing to go with you.”
Zhang Rujin nodded.
“Okay, then I will go back. If Texas Instruments does not agree to my resignation, then I would rather retire early than go to Huating to start a vigorous career!”
Actually, he already had the answer before he came, but he didn’t expect that his parents would be so supportive or even willing to go back with him!
Father nodded, then picked up the erhu beside him. Soon, a piece of music came to life. The melody was so familiar.
Although I am wearing a dress, my heart is still Chinese...
When Qin Tao and Wu Shengli returned home, this familiar song was playing at home, and Qin Tao couldn't help but hum along.
“My ancestors have already stamped everything on me with the Chinese seal.”
Although this song "My Chinese Heart" was released ten years ago, it will never go out of style. As time goes by, it will only become more popular and arouse the response of overseas tourists. The heart of home.
“Where’s Xiaoling?” After singing a song, Qin Tao also walked around the room, but he didn’t see his wife, which was very strange.
"I went to the hospital. There were a few young people with unique ideas and proposed new technologies. Xiaoling went over to listen." Zhao Xiu'e said.
"What?" Qin Tao said with an ugly face: "Xiaoling is about to give birth, how can she keep running back and forth? What if..."
“That’s what I said, but Xiaoling is not happy.” Zhao Xiu’e was embarrassed.
Zhao Ling is indeed unhappy. Although she is pregnant, she is not unable to do anything. She does not want to be stared at by everyone and cannot move around, whether it is the Aerospace Institute, Mingzhou Group, or other units in society, those The pregnant woman with a big belly is still working.
She was actually full of complaints about being treated as a nationally protected animal. However, she endured it as she thought that the child in her belly was Qin Tao's and nothing could happen to her. However, if there is a need for her, she will not hesitate.
“Okay.” Qin Tao nodded, and just as he sat down, the landline phone at home rang.
So he picked it up casually.
"Hello."
“Comrade Zhao Ling’s amniotic water has broken and she is currently being taken to the hospital.”
“What?” Qin Tao put down the phone and ran out.
“Zhengyang, let’s go, quickly!”
“What’s wrong?” Zhao Xiu’e was a little surprised.
“Mom, you and dad come behind and bring all the baby supplies!”
When Qin Tao said this, people had already jumped into the corridor outside.
Qin Tao moved very quickly, and Xu Zhengyang drove very quickly. However, when the two of them arrived at the hospital, they still couldn't catch up.
When Qin Tao hurried to the hospital and went straight to the delivery room, hearing the heart-rending shouts inside, his heart was also tangled.
For women, giving birth is a gateway to death. At this moment, Qin Tao felt his heart aching.
“Mr. Qin, Mr. Qin.” Xu Zhengyang pulled him aside.
“Keep your voice down, don’t be surprised inside.”
“Mr. Qin, it’s not Xiaoling inside.”
What?
Qin Tao turned around and looked at Xu Zhengyang.
“I just asked the nurse and Xiaoling has been admitted to ward 308.”
Qin Tao glanced at the delivery room again, and then strode towards the ward area.
When Qin Tao gently pushed open the ward door, Zhao Ling's voice came from inside.
“Son, when your dad comes, can you let him give you a name? He probably won’t be satisfied with the name your mom gave you.”
In the swaddling clothes, a tiny baby was trying hard to lick its nipple.
Hearing the sound of the door outside, Zhao Ling raised her head and showed a shallow smile: "Son, your dad is here."
