Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

Chapter 1090 "Backward" Equipment

At this time, Ms. Huang had no plans to continue visiting the exhibition. She had basically visited all the large companies or companies with good products that were willing to talk to her.

The rest either didn't want to deal with Ms. Huang, or were companies that Ms. Huang looked down upon. In fact, there was nothing much to talk about.

There are thousands of companies in the exhibition hall, and many of them are just there to make up the numbers.

Some small companies have limited technical capabilities and are even less capable than some domestic factories.

Now that she has the opportunity to discuss and exchange ideas with senior leaders of several super companies in the world, Ms. Huang is naturally the most anxious person.

Chen Changan was almost dragged to the entrance of the exhibition by Ms. Huang.

"Slow down, slow down. We've all agreed on this. We can't leave early."

"It's because our chip technology lags behind. If you want to get something from others, you can't keep them waiting for too long.

If our level was high, I wouldn't be so anxious.

You can't expect to get something from someone and keep them waiting, right? That doesn't make sense."

The reason why Chen Changan was willing to be pulled by Ms. Huang was naturally because he agreed with Ms. Huang's point of view, and then he began to speed up his pace.

He is different from Ms. Huang. After all, he is a leading cadre. Many of his words and deeds represent the country, so he has to pay some attention to etiquette.

At the entrance of the exhibition, Zhang Rujing and Yu Youcheng were chatting.

Even though they have always lived in the United States, they are still well aware of Chen Changan's name.

When Chen Changan and Ms. Huang arrived at the entrance of the exhibition, they both showed expressions of surprise.

We are all in the same circle, and when we saw Ms. Huang was there, we felt relieved.

Even if Chen Changan is capable, he is only good at business and management. After all, they have no idea how much he knows about chips.

I think he knows something about it, otherwise he wouldn't come to the exhibition in person.

But since Ms. Huang is here, everything will be easy.

"President Yu, Mr. Zhang, I've long heard of your great names."

"I didn't expect Ms. Huang to be at the exhibition. Why didn't she come to our Texas Instruments booth?"

As soon as Zhang Rujing said this, he immediately realized what was going on and gave an awkward smile.

Yu Youcheng on the side immediately took over the conversation and said with a smile.

"Needless to say, it must be that you guys at Texas Instruments look down on us."

Texas Instruments' attitude towards the mainland is somewhat biased.

This was mainly due to the influence of the company's first Chinese management.

As the first Chinese employee of Texas Instruments, Zhang Zhongmou, who took 14 years to be promoted from an employee to vice president, has a huge impact on Texas Instruments.

As a Taiwanese, I have some prejudices against the mainland.

Although Morris Chang has left Texas Instruments and founded TSMC, his influence on the company still exists.

Zhang Rujing's current influence within Texas Instruments is still not that great, and he felt a little embarrassed when he heard Yu Youcheng's teasing.

"Then I'll host the party today as an apology to Director Chen and Ms. Huang.

Besides, we have some things that we want to discuss with you two."

Chen Changan and Ms. Huang often come into contact with the outside world. In this era, many people have great prejudices against the mainland, and this kind of thing is also common. Naturally, they will not refuse when someone invites them to dinner.

Then the group found a Chinese restaurant and started chatting.

This time, Yu Youcheng was dragged here by Zhang Rujing. After tasting a few bites of the food, he put down his chopsticks.

In order to cater to the tastes of local people, Chinese food in the United States has long been changed beyond recognition.

After taking a few bites, Ms. Huang became anxious, but with Chen Changan's constant reminders, she finally calmed down.

Zhang Rujing spoke only after seeing that everyone had almost finished eating.

"I have been following the development of chips in mainland China for a long time, and I was a little disappointed that no mainland companies would participate in the exhibition this time.

I didn’t expect to see Director Chen and Ms. Huang, which made me very happy.

In my opinion, the chip industry will definitely become a major trend in future development, and mainland China is still not doing enough in this regard."

Upon hearing this, Ms. Huang sighed.

He agreed with Zhang Rujing's statement, but he couldn't blame the country. As long as he had money, how could his research institute be closed?

“I called you two here this time mainly because I am currently in charge of the construction and operation of a semiconductor factory.

If mainland China needs it, I am willing to help persuade the company's top management to allow mainland China to have a modern chip factory."

Upon hearing this, Ms. Huang was so happy that she almost jumped up, and even wanted to agree on the spot.

But she had neither policies nor funds, so she had no say in such matters. She then turned her gaze to Chen Changan.

Not only is Chen Changan's rank high enough, but when it comes to matters like building a factory, one word from Chen Changan is more effective than ten words from these people.

Moreover, Chen Changan has funds, and the automobile factory also has a lot of foreign exchange reserves. As long as Chen Changan agrees, this can be accomplished.

"Can you please stop looking at me like that?"

Chen Changan really couldn't stand Ms. Huang's look.

"You are the leader. Setting up a factory is just a matter of your word."

Chen Changan was speechless. As expected, no matter how smart a scientific researcher is, he will become not very smart during negotiations.

It is hard to say what Zhang Rujing is thinking at the moment, as he went to the United States in 48.

After so many years, even if it is for the sake of mainland China's chip industry, it is hard to say how sincere he is in his heart.

You have to test the waters, right? What if they're going to take advantage of you? Not only do you give them money, you also have to be grateful to them.

Or maybe it's for the sake of performance, pretending that everyone is a compatriot, and just getting some equipment to fool people. It's hard to say.

"Don't worry, everything can be done through negotiation. You can't get anything done in a hurry."

Seeing Chen Changan's serious expression, Ms. Huang finally realized that she had been too anxious.

"Mr. Zhang is planning to sell us a set of chip production equipment?"

Ms. Huang is only responsible for technology, so as for negotiations, Chen Changan naturally needs to take action.

"In order to support the mainland's chip industry, I am willing to help the mainland build a 5-micron chip production line."

Even though chips of a few nanometers are common in the future, at this time, the best chip companies in China can only reach the 5-micron level.

Obviously, although Zhang Rujing has not returned to the mainland for some years, he is very familiar with the current chip level in the mainland.

Ms. Huang has been very busy these days, and Chen Changan has also been studying a lot.

"We really want the equipment, but as far as I know, Texas Instruments is already able to produce chips at 0.6 microns, or 600 nanometers.

I wonder how much Mr. Zhang plans to sell us this set of "outdated" equipment?"
