In January 1996, the animation of "Detective Conan" began to be released in Japan; China's first private bank, Minsheng Bank, officially began to operate; after Hong Kong's return, all the troops stationed in Hong Kong have been formed; in February, Gong Li married Huang Hexiang; Pokémon handheld game consoles began to be released;

In the first month of this year, nothing big happened in the world. The places where wars are still flying, the people who should be poor are still living in poverty, and the places where wealthy are still living in peace and contentment. A news occupies a position of both forward and forward in electronic technology newspapers and other electronic technology newspapers and magazines.

The Huajing 908 project 0.5 micron lithography machine is all installed and can be produced after debugging. In February 1996, this most advanced chip production line in China will be put into trial operation.

Even if it is the computer industry closely related to chips, the market responded to this news in a mediocre way. Most people cannot understand what this 0.5 micron process chip production line means to China. China's computer accessories are still in an environment blocked by the United States. For example, the most advanced Pentium 133 is an absolute scarce product in China. As for software, even in 1998, the most popular operating system in China was still ms-dos.

In the Chinese electronics market, which is seriously out of touch with the international market, a 0.5-micron technology wafer factory that has not even been determined to produce products is really far from them. Although Huajing is a chip foundry in name, due to the reform issue, most of the orders he fought for in the early years have been invalidated.

In fact, almost all the orders in Huajing 908 project were brought by domestically relying on administrative orders. This is also in line with its original mission - breaking the international blockade and self-reliance in the chip industry.

The failure of the 908 project itself is precisely because of the planned economy. Since it was established to break the international blockade, when the international blockade is no longer blocked, it will naturally become unacceptable. The establishment of Huajing is the result of the planned economy, and its business is also allocated by the planning department. However, the slow construction speed of the planned economy has brought disaster to Huajing after the reform and opening up.

In this way, after Zhou Shuo took over Huajing, he will naturally no longer be given preferential treatment by domestic plans. With hundreds of thousands of pieces of production capacity every year, he must go to the market to find customers by himself.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t even find a 0.8 micron design in China before. How can I get a 0.5 micron chip product design so quickly? There is only one way in front of Zhou Shuo…

Huajing's new production line construction was almost completed simultaneously with the installation and debugging of Nikon lithography machines. The domestic 0.8 micron chip production line equipment, combined with Nikon's 0.5 micron lithography machine, has given Huajing a mass production capacity of 0.5 micron process chips.

"Why is this empty so big? Are there new equipment?"

The person who spoke was a deputy department-level leader in Wuxi City. Seeing him looking at the newly built chip production workshop, he was obviously very excited.

In fact, Huajing is definitely a large enterprise. However, it has been under construction before, and it can be said that it only saw the sound of stairs but no one came down. So apart from the initial heat, the mood of the leaders in Wuxi City gradually faded. After all, no matter how large the investment or the level of a factory is, it will not produce the benefits even if it cannot be produced. It is not worth the attention of the leaders above.

Although the recent series of events have made the city know that Fanhan Group and Mengwu Group have acquired Huajing and have injected a lot of investment into it. But when it comes to this money, it has not fallen into the government's pocket at all. It has neither purchased new land nor recruited new workers. It has only built some new factories and equipment, but has not visited local enterprises in Wuxi.

It is not a surprise that the city leaders are not interested in such an enterprise that is isolated from the local economy. China's most advanced 0.5 micron chip production line was put into production. In the end, only a deputy mayor at the department level came.

Of course, although it is only a deputy mayor of Wuxi, it has a value that is actually higher than the Yangtze River Bridge in Xiucheng. There is no way, the fake Wuxi is also part of the Modu Economic Circle. In terms of size, it is indeed much larger than the Empression City, which has become a third-tier city.

"Mayor Wang is so bright!" Zhou Shuo flattered a little and explained with a smile: "At present, we are using other equipment for 0.5 micron lithography machines to match domestic 0.8 micron production lines. Although mass production can be achieved, there are still many troubles such as yield rate and cost. These vacant workshops are actually prepared for other 0.5 micron equipment to be purchased from Japan. In this way, in the future, a batch of domestic 0.8 micron lithography machines will be introduced, which will enable two technical levels of production lines of 0.8 and 0.5."

"Oh? So, Huajing will continue to expand production in the future?" Deputy Mayor Wang looked at Zhou Shuo with great interest. Which civil servant in power would not like additional investment in enterprises?

"It is certain that Huajing will continue to expand production." Zhou Shuo nodded heavily and said confidently: "International chip production technology is developing rapidly, and it will increase the line width of a generation almost every two years. If Huajing cannot keep up with this pace, it will fall further and further by its competitors. Therefore, Huajing will not only continue to expand production, but will also definitely expand production at least once every two years."

Deputy Mayor Wang shook his head sighed and said, "I didn't expect that the competition in the electronics industry is so fierce. Is Huajing confident of surviving in the market?"

Zhou Shuo smiled and said confidently: "Of course there is no problem. Fanhan Group is the investor of Huajing and will definitely support it. At present, we have mastered the complete set of Nikon's 0.5 micron process lithography machine manufacturing technology. On this basis, the 0.35 and 0.25 micron technologies are also being developed in full swing. The use of chips in China is increasing rapidly every year. It can be said that as long as Huajing can be produced, it will definitely be sold. Backed by the large market in China, Huajing is confident that it will survive in the market!"

"Okay, okay!" Deputy Mayor Wang nodded happily. This was the first time he saw such a confident businessman. In the past, no one of these businessmen wanted to say the difficulties was greater than the sky, and then asked for funds, support, and policies from the government. Only after Fanhan Group acquired Huajing, the government did not need to take care of anything, and could actively expand the production line, upgrade the technical system and make long-term plans.

As the saying goes, you are not afraid of not knowing the goods, you are afraid of comparing goods. Compared with Zhou Shuo, most of the investment promotion projects that Vice Mayor Wang had previously been exposed to were a bit petty.

He rolled his eyes, thought for a while and said, "Huajing has to go to the production line before continuing, so the number of employees now is not enough, right?"

Zhou Shuo was a little stunned. After turning his mind, he knew what Deputy Mayor Wang had made. This was obviously because he thought Hua Jing had a good future and now he wanted to send two people over first.

Zhou Shuo smiled bitterly, nodded and said, "Yes, we expect that the number of Huajing's employees will double before 1997."

"That's good." Deputy Mayor Wang breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Zhou Shuo hesitantly and said, "In fact, there is something that has been bothering me these days."

He shook his head slightly and said in embarrassment: "I really have no choice. Today I will take the liberty to ask President Zhou for help. It doesn't matter whether Cheng or Not Chengdu is, this is not an administrative order..."

Zhou Shuo looked at Deputy Mayor Wang seriously, nodded and said, "You just say it, I'll listen."

Deputy Mayor Wang opened his mouth and finally said: "Our city is currently streamlining its institutions. Although many of the civil servants who have been laid off have found their own way out, a large part of them are still unable to be digested on the spot. These people have served the people for more than a dozen years and have been serving the people for decades. The city can't bear to leave them helpless."

In the 1990s, southerners were indeed ahead of China. Many civil servants in Wuxi were actually much better than Bohai Province. Since the reform and opening up, there was a trend of institutional reform in the 1990s. Many civil servants were either called by organizations or forced to abolish them, and they were half-supported and half-swept into the market. In 1995 and 1996, when the wealth of the southern society increased sharply, it was not very strange that civil servants resigned.

Zhou Shuo nodded suddenly and smiled: "This is no problem. As long as they can handle Hua Jing's job, we can take over."

His simplicity surprised Deputy Mayor Wang. Deputy Mayor Wang felt that even if Zhou Shuo agreed, he would probably be awkward. He didn't expect that, so he agreed without any stuttering.

Looking at Deputy Mayor Wang's exploratory gaze, Zhou Shuo laughed and said, "Speaking of all, although Fanhan Group has taken over Huajing smoothly, it is actually willing to communicate more with the local government. Mayor Wang doesn't have to worry. As long as comrades are willing to come to our Huajing, I will definitely welcome you. The philosophy that our Fanhan Group has always adhered to is to develop together with the local area and get rich together, and will never be stingy with sharing the fruits of our development with others..."
