Compared with Wang Rujun's toughness, Wang Zhongmin's attitude was much better. He loudly praised China's development speed in front of Zhou Ming, and also speculated that the global semiconductor industry will definitely develop to the East in the future. He said that China will simply become the only one in the future. blue ocean. But the more beautifully Wang Zhongmin spoke, the colder Zhou Ming felt. As expected, when Zhou Ming finally invited him to build a factory in China, Wang Zhongmin quickly refused. "Of course I also hope to go to that magical land to realize a lofty ideal, but unfortunately my abilities are not qualified for such an important job. I would rather stay at Texas Instruments or go to Fujian and Taiwan. " Zhou Ming is not surprised by Wang Zhongmin's choice, because according to the original trajectory, Wang Zhongmin will show off his skills in Fujian and Taiwan. However, Zhou Ming did not blame them. Zhou Ming also told them: "Business cannot be done with righteousness. It doesn't matter whether you go to China or not. If you change your mind in the future, you can still contact me and I will definitely provide you with The greatest support.¡± Wang Zhongmin thanked Zhou Ming repeatedly and promised that he would definitely contact Zhou Ming if he went to the mainland. The meeting with the two top chip tycoons ended in a hurry, but Zhou Ming was not discouraged. Just as Zhou Ming told his family: Only by planting sycamore trees first can the golden phoenix be attracted. Therefore, Zhou Ming¡¯s suggestion is not to rush into the chip industry, but to start with the upstream industry chain first. In Zhou Ming¡¯s view, if you have completed the wafer factory, photoresist factory and light source factory, are you still worried that there will be no chip factory to open? On the contrary, blindly pursuing chip factories will only create a bunch of rubbish that defrauds subsidies and investment. "Chips are different from high-precision industries such as aerospace. They are market-oriented and need to withstand the test of the market." Zhou Ming planned this. He also contacted Du Peng and Ren Lujun respectively and asked them to go to the south and the north. Invest in relevant factories domestically. Zhou Ming did this to prepare for the chip market that would be at least ten years away, but Zhou Ming never expected that he would change history again. ¡ ¡ Zhou Ming is very popular here, whether it is Morgan, Rockefeller or the local wealthy families in Texas, so they all knew about Zhou Ming¡¯s appointment with Wang Rujun and Wang Zhongmin immediately. "They are the two kings of Texas Instruments in chip manufacturing. That Zhou Ming must have made an appointment with them at this time to lay out semiconductor chips!" "Zhou Ming really has an intention. From what he said, I will destroy the information and communication industry in Europe. You know it!¡± ¡°We want to block their semiconductor technology and not give him any chance!¡± Although it was later reported that neither Wang Rujun nor Wang Zhongmin agreed to Zhou Ming¡¯s return to China, how could these people believe it? It was fake news deliberately released by Zhou Ming to confuse the public. On the contrary, they thought that Zhou Ming must have said something, and they had to nip this possibility in the cradle. Madison in Texas even took direct action. He found Wang Rujun and Wang Zhongmin respectively and asked them why they betrayed Texas Instruments and why they wanted to get together with that Zhou Ming. Wang Rujun and Wang Zhongmin both shouted that they were wronged. They both swore that they had not promised Zhou Ming. They were very loyal to Texas Instruments. "I have already achieved the position of vice president here, why should I go back to that poor country? And my technology and my team are all here, there is no use even if I go back!" "This must be the one Zhou Ming¡¯s conspiracy is the art of war in the East. He did this deliberately to alienate us. Mr. Madison, please don¡¯t believe it!¡± But no matter how they explained it, Madison never trusted them. In the end, on the board of directors of Texas Instruments, The two were expelled from the company and asked to sign a non-competition agreement. Texas Instruments compensated part of the price and required them not to engage in semiconductor-related industries within the next five years. "Those Chinese are all liars. They will only betray us. Texas Instruments cannot tolerate such traitors in our company. We must deal with them immediately!" "Just dealing with them is not enough. In order to ensure that our technical advantages will not If it is leaked, we must also prepare the most stringent non-compete agreement, only in this way can we protect our own interests! " This was a huge blow to the two of them, making them unemployed all of a sudden, and based on their ability, they were still unemployed. cannot find re-employment in a short period of time. After all, they used to be senior engineers at Texas Instruments, so they couldn't go to a fast food restaurant to wash dishes. In desperation, the two of them had no choice but to leave the Federation, and one of them went to Sansang.One went to the Fujian-Taiwan circuit. Originally they thought the situation would be better after leaving the Federation, but on the second day after they joined the job, these Yang guys activated long-arm jurisdiction and warned Sansang and Fujian that they were not allowed to use these two people, so they could only continue A job loss. Facing the strength of Yang Capital, the two of them were really desperate, but here, they made a different choice. Wang Zhongmin hated Zhou Ming in Fujian and Taiwan. He thought it was Zhou Ming who had brought him to this point. If it weren't for Zhou Ming, he would still be sitting in the office of Texas Instruments with the air conditioner blowing and drinking coffee. Why would he need to do this? Running around? Even my subsidy has been frozen, and I have no money to use it! Wang Rujun picked up the phone and dialed the number left by Zhou Ming. "Mr. Zhou Ming, I don't want to give up the chip industry that I love. I hope you can keep your promise!" Wang Rujun opened his mouth and stated his vision. In fact, Wang Rujun didn't know what to do, and he didn't know what Zhou Ming was. Is there any way to help himself, but he can only do it as a doctor. Zhou Ming was shocked when he received the call. When he learned about the aggressiveness of Texas Instruments and related departments, Zhou Ming felt that his opponent's assist was incredible, so he immediately gave Du Peng's contact information to Wang Rujun and told him Someone will help him when he returns to China. Wang Rujun did not believe Zhou Ming at this time, and even had resentment against Zhou Ming like Wang Zhongmin. Therefore, he reminded emphatically: "Mr. Zhou Ming, I need to remind you of the long-arm jurisdiction of the Federation. Are you sure that the country can protect me?" It's no wonder Wang Rujun said this. Not only is the Federation's strength now number one in the world, but also the chip The industry needs market verification, and you can't just build a factory and build a car behind closed doors. Once you are subject to the long-arm jurisdiction of the federal government and various technologies are restricted, you will lose the market. Zhou Ming reassured him: "Isn't it just a non-competition agreement? Just avoid him for this kind of thing. I will help you contact the top universities in the country, and you can just teach there." "University?" Wang Rujun's head was full of questions, and he didn't want to at all. He understood what Zhou Ming meant by saying this, but now, he had no choice but to believe Zhou Ming once. After hanging up Wang Rujun¡¯s call, Zhou Ming immediately dialed Du Peng¡¯s number. When Du Peng answered the phone and learned the news, he jumped with joy: "What? Zhou Ming, did your boss say that some of the top engineers from Texas Instruments have returned to China? Then our chip factory will be fine!" The capital war in Europe has caused Noah to increase prices unscrupulously in the Chinese market, making everyone realize the frustration and helplessness of having the information and communication semiconductor industry in the hands of others. They have long wanted to launch a chip project with great fanfare. The reason why it has been delayed until now is firstly because of Zhou Ming¡¯s dissuasion and industrial chain planning, and secondly because there is a real lack of relevant talents in the country and no one is taking the lead. Now that one of the world's top chip engineers returns to China, isn't that an opportunity for a strong man to fall from the sky? And more importantly, a top engineer like Wang Rujun, in addition to his own strength, also has the ability to organize a technical team, which is more important in the chip industry. But at the same time, Zhou Ming also reminded Du Peng: "He has a non-competition agreement with him and cannot directly hold any position related to the semiconductor industry." At first, Du Peng didn't take it seriously. He was joking, this is China, why should I accept you? Gay Yang control? Zhou Ming explained to him that this was not how things looked like: "This non-competition agreement must be abided by! It's not that we are afraid of gay Yang, but it is based on global market rules!" It's very simple. Chips are not as simple as building a factory. Lithography machines, various procedures, etc., once sanctioned, the factory will have to shut down immediately. In addition, the same is true in the market. You must know that chips are produced to be sold to downstream technology companies. Domestic copycat phones alone cannot handle such a large chip output, and the majority must be multinational communication companies such as Noah and Aisin. Once they participate in the boycott of sanctions, the chips will still not be sold and the factory will have to stop production. Du Peng was very angry when he heard: "Are those bastards so domineering? What should we do?" Zhou Ming expressed his thoughts: "My idea is to invite Wang Rujun to the university as a visiting professor, specializing in teaching chips and semiconductors. "Knowledge." Du Peng immediately understood what Zhou Ming meant: "Hello, teacher! It takes ten years to cultivate trees but a hundred years to cultivate people!" This is a classic operation of later generations to circumvent non-competition agreements. Being a university professor is not a violation of competition. business agreement, but in fact, as a teacher, it is normal to have several students related to the chip industry under his supervision, and even engineers from a certain chip factoryIt is normal for groups to come to universities for further studies. Therefore, Wang Rujun, as a teacher, can bypass the non-compete agreement and actually solve problems for the chip factory. Of course, Zhou Ming also reminded Du Peng: "You have to communicate with him carefully about this matter. You can even give him a certain amount of shares in advance." Zhou Ming also said: "Instead of Qing Yan, it is best to get some of the seven national defense institutes." University, because their hearts are the most upright. " Du Peng felt strange about such a request, but he was very convinced by Zhou Ming's words. Since Zhou Ming asked so, he was right to do it. After hanging up the phone, Du Peng went to work. Zhou Ming was also very happy. Unexpectedly, in the end, the development of the domestic chip industry was still ahead of schedule. (End of this chapter)
