Rebirth 1984: Starting with the development of Hanka

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Ni Guangnan hurried to Zhao Ye's office.

"Boss, after my investigation these days, it is really difficult to build a self-built wafer factory and localize most of the production equipment!"

Ni Guangnan sighed, "In the early 80s, the Institute of Semiconductors of the Chinese Academy of Sciences successfully developed the JK-1 semi-automatic proximity lithography machine. Subsequently, the JKG-3 lithography machine developed by the Shanghai Optical Machinery Factory passed the appraisal and design finalization. Recently, the Chinese Academy of Sciences The Institute of Microelectronics successfully developed the BG-101 stepper lithography machine, with performance indicators close to the level of the 4800DSW system of the American GCA company. The scanning projection lithography machine developed by the Shanghai Institute of Optics and Precision Mechanics, Chinese Academy of Sciences passed the appraisal. Wuhan Radio Component No. 20 Factory It has accumulated more than years of technology in lithography machine projects.

The above are all successfully developed in the laboratory, but in fact, during the production process, it is difficult to guarantee the yield rate..."

"In addition, many related researches in the semiconductor industry chain have been stopped due to lack of funds. After two years, these research results have been basically wasted or outdated. Moreover, a large number of talents have also begun to be lost, and it is difficult to get them back. Therefore, we We must act as soon as possible!”

Speaking of this, Ni Guangnan looked a little heavy.

You don’t know if you don’t investigate. After investigating, he found that the situation in the domestic semiconductor industry was more severe than he imagined.

It is urgent to save China’s semiconductors!

However, can Wujiang alone really save China's semiconductor industry?

Ni Guangnan was worried and seemed confused about the future.

But there are some things that, if you don’t do them, you are destined to fail. But if you do it, miracles may happen!

Nowadays, Ni Guangnan's hope rests entirely on Zhao Ye: "Perhaps, this man who has been doing miracles in entrepreneurship may bring hope to this country and this nation!"

Zhao Ye frowned slightly at this time. The results of the investigation were shocking, but they were within his expectations. They were even better than he had imagined. At least the domestic technology was not too different from that of foreign countries.

For example, the domestic model BG-4800 stepper lithography machine developed by the Institute of Microelectronics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, whose performance is close to that of the American DSW101 lithography machine, is only about 7 years later than the United States.

It is worth mentioning that the Dutch ASML company was only established in 1984, and TSMC had to wait until 1987 to be established.

If we insist on promoting the localization of photolithography machines at this critical juncture in history, our country may have a technical strength as good as ASML and TSMC in the semiconductor industry in the future.

Of course, this requires the support of the entire semiconductor industry chain.

Zhao Ye wants to be a catfish and enter the photolithography machine market, thus stirring up the domestic semiconductor industry and stimulating the rapid development of the entire semiconductor industry chain.

"General Manager Ni, it seems that the wafer fab will not be built for a while. The main difficulty lies in the lithography machine. In this case, we will invest in the research of lithography machine and then build the wafer fab. By the way, Starting tomorrow, you should contact the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shanghai Optical Machinery Factory, Wuhan Radio Component Factory No. 3, and major universities to cooperate in establishing a photolithography machine company!"

Zhao Ye solemnly said, "If you can work hard to promote this, our country's semiconductor industry will have hope!"

"Does our company have that much money to support our research and development of lithography machines?" Ni Guangnan hesitated and asked.

Zhao Ye smiled, pretending to be relaxed and replied: "Don't worry, money is not a problem! By the way, if there are still some semiconductor industries that cannot be developed solely by other research institutions or companies, then we will invest in them ourselves." .Such as semiconductor materials, silicon wafers, photoresist, sputtering targets, etc..."

Ni Guangnan nodded and said firmly: "If you can really get enough money, I will try my best to do what you said!!!"

Zhao Ye laughed loudly and said: "General Manager Ni, don't worry, I, Zhao Ye, am very capable of making money. I have many ways to make money!"

"That's right... In the whole of China, you are the most profitable right now! I have no choice but to believe in you! Then I will leave now and prepare to go to the Chinese Academy of Sciences to contact some old friends!"

"Well, then go quickly!"

After seeing off Ni Guangnan, Zhao Ye lay on the sofa and began to meditate.

How to make money quickly?

Zhao Ye did have some clues. In the 1980s, business opportunities were endless, and he could always find some very profitable ways.

Returning to his desk, Zhao Ye opened the financial statement that his secretary Liu Yinyin had handed over before.

The financial statements for 1984 have been released. Total sales exceeded 8 million yuan, of which Hanka sales were 1.6 million yuan, typewriter sales were 5.3 million yuan, and PC brand agency sales were 1.1 million yuan.

After deducting taxes, employee wages and other expenses, Wujiang still made a profit of more than 4 million yuan.

There seems to be a lot of money on the books, but just investing in a fab will almost spend all the 4 million yuan.

Fortunately, the wafer fab is currently just a plan and will not be implemented immediately.

However, several large projects within the company have been launched and a lot of money has been invested.

However, the projects are huge and there is a shortage of talents, so the research and development process is often stretched.

The biggest headache for Zhao Ye now is the lack of excellent software engineers.

Developing an operating system requires a large number of programmers. Developing ecological application software around the operating system still requires programmers. Hardware engineers also need to know some programming knowledge in order to communicate well with software engineers. Games, various protocols, industrial software, etc. all require programmers.

In the previous life, Microsoft had approximately more than 3 engineers engaged in product software development.

Borderless's ambitions are obviously greater than Microsoft's, and it requires more engineers.

As we all know, almost all high-level programming languages ​​​​are currently in English, so to understand programming, you must understand English. However, the current level of English education in China is very backward, and the teaching staff is extremely weak. Many English teachers themselves cannot even read English.

It can be seen that it is very difficult to cultivate an excellent engineer. Therefore, lowering the threshold for learning programming languages ​​and attracting more people to engage in the software development industry has become a top priority for Wujiang Company!

As for how to lower the barriers to learning programming languages, can a Chinese programming language be developed?

In previous lives, many Chinese programming languages ​​appeared on the Internet, such as "Yi Language", "Xi Language", "Bing Zhengzheng", "Zhong Python", "Zhou Python" and so on.

Among them, "Easy Language" became an overnight sensation and became very popular, with a large number of users behind it.

"Wang Jizhi's father, Wang Li, has been engaged in the teaching and research of language science and is one of the founders of modern linguistics. Wang Jizhi was influenced by his father and had a deep understanding of Chinese linguistics. In his previous life, he was able to become The father of the Chinese typewriter is not without reason."

"Is it feasible if Wang Jizhi and I take the lead together to develop a Chinese programming language..."

Zhao Ye looked thoughtful, as if he was considering the feasibility of doing this, but he always felt that it was a bit unreliable...
