Chapter 1157 A Major Breakthrough in Chip Manufacturing Technology

After sending Cao Yicheng away, Wu Tao asked Uncle Zhuang to put it away without even looking at the blue and white porcelain from the Yongli period of the Ming Dynasty.

Anyway, even if he saw it, he wouldn't understand it, so he simply wouldn't follow this elegance.

After returning to the study upstairs, Wu Tao called Liu Ruoxi and asked her to immediately arrange a meeting with Professor Hu Zhengmin.

Although he was not keen on poaching people directly, since he agreed to Cao Yicheng, he would give it a try no matter what.

After all, Cao Yicheng produced a blue and white porcelain, so he couldn't just collect things and not do things.

Liu Ruoxi acted very quickly. She called back ten minutes later and reported to Wu Tao that she had made an appointment at the Taihu Resort Hotel at six o'clock tonight.

Wu Tao is very satisfied because this resort hotel is only about ten minutes' drive from his private villa.

Liu Ruoxi, who had followed all the way, stayed there, which was very convenient in all aspects.

The lanterns are on.

The lighting on the edge of Taihu Lake in Wujiang has not been fully completed, and there are only vaguely dim street lights. Wu Tao specially changed into formal clothes, looking particularly formal and solemn.

When the car arrived at the resort hotel, Liu Ruoxi, wearing a professional skirt, was already waiting at the door.

Under the magnificent lights, it can be seen that Secretary Liu looks even more delicate and charming with her makeup.

"Today is beautiful!" Wu Tao praised habitually.

Liu Ruoxi felt happy when she heard it, but she still reported calmly: "The guest has arrived in the private room, and Director Yang is accompanying him."

The two of them kept walking and chatting while walking.

Wu Tao nodded after hearing this, and then asked: "Why, are you still used to living here alone? If you are not used to it, just move to my villa. Anyway, the place is big and there are many rooms, so it won't be too much." convenient."

Liu Ruoxi wanted to go emotionally, but when her words came to her lips, she turned into a rational tone and said, "Thank you for the relationship, boss. I'm fine here."

In this case, Wu Tao will not persist any more.

While talking, the two of them walked to the door of the box, and the waiter next to them immediately helped open the door.

In the private room, the energetic Yang Shining stood up in response, followed by a middle-aged man with a broad forehead and a somewhat Chinese character face. He was wearing a silver-gray formal suit. His brows and eyes were warm, and he looked like he was an academic from a research background.

"Professor Hu, I've heard of you for a long time!" Wu Tao walked over quickly and reached out his hand.

Hu Zhengmin's eyes formed a line with a smile, "No matter what, Mr. Wu's work in the semiconductor industry is what impresses me."

After exchanging pleasantries, the group of four people sat down directly on their seats.

Liu Ruoxi was taking the order next to her, so Wu Tao turned around, looked at the slightly reserved Hu Zhengmin and said, "Professor Hu, I am really surprised and surprised to have an appointment with you today."

"...But don't worry, no one else will know about your coming here today, because this resort hotel is a property in my name."

"...Furthermore, the purpose of inviting you here today is to communicate with you about the development trend of the semiconductor industry. After all, you are the authority in this regard, and we can only listen attentively in front of you."

Hu Zhengmin was surprised. He had even thought of an excuse to refuse the invitation, but he didn't expect Wu Tao to resolve it so easily. Even the defensiveness in private was relaxed a bit.

"Mr. Wu is really overrated," Hu Zhengmin pointed at Yang Shining and said, "In your blueprint for the semiconductor industry, with a comprehensive talent like Director Yang, why worry about big things happening?"

This is a bit false.

Wu Tao did not follow what he said, but used his strength to say: "Yes, my investment in the semiconductor industry is first reflected in the emphasis on talents. Unfortunately, the domestic foundation in this regard is too weak, and it is really beyond my capabilities. .”

"...Fortunately, Director Yang and Tim and his team have greatly enhanced our talent reserve. So I am very confident about the future!"

Hu Zhengmin nodded repeatedly, but in his heart he looked at Wu Tao, the young boss, with admiration.

Although the two of them ended up talking about the same thing, the focus of their words was obviously different.

I can't tell that this Huaxia Wu really has some tricks up his sleeve.

Seeing Hu Zhengmin lowering his head to drink tea, Wu Tao calmly changed the subject, "Professor Hu, you are an expert in the semiconductor industry. In your opinion, who can dominate the development of the semiconductor industry in the future?"

"...Is it Intel that currently dominates the market, or AMD that is poised to take off?"

Hu Zhengmin put down his teacup and raised his head, "Mr. Wu's problem must be analyzed point by point."

"...First of all, in terms of industry development trends, I agree with TSMC boss Zhang. The separation of chip design and production will be an inevitable trend in the future. As a result, the semiconductor industry will inevitably be split into two levels: chip design and chip production. .”

"...In the chip design industry, Intel currently occupies a dominant position in PC chips. Although AMD can affect it, it is ultimately unshakable."

"... But in addition, with the development and refinement of technology in future chips, in addition to high-power chips such as PCs, mobile low-power chips will gradually form a market. In this regard, Motorola PowerPC in the semiconductor department and ARM, a company in the UK, both have great potential."

When it came to talking about his professional matters, Professor Hu suddenly lost his previous restraint and talked enthusiastically and eloquently.

While Wu Tao listened attentively, he also greatly admired this pure scholar-type figure.

And more importantly, the trends Hu Zhengmin mentioned are almost the same as the slight impressions in his memory.

It can be seen that he is truly a talented and learned person.

The so-called expert can tell if there is something as soon as he reaches out his hand.

Such talents are rare in the world.

After hearing this, Wu Tao couldn't help but have thoughts in his heart. I originally planned not to mention it, but I couldn’t help it after all.

After three drinks and five dishes, the back-and-forth discussion between Yang Shining and Hu Zhengmin came to an end. Wu Tao jumped into the topic and said, "Professor Hu, listening to your words is worth ten years of reading. I wonder if you have any Are you interested, come to my camp? Let our chip design and foundry industries in China flourish!"

When this question was raised at this time, Hu Zhengmin was indeed caught off guard.

However, the excuses prepared earlier came into use after a slight lag at this moment.

Although the result was expected, Wu Tao couldn't help but feel a little regretful until Liu Ruoxi, who went out to answer the phone, came back with surprise on her pretty face. She was so surprised that she couldn't help but announce the good news on the spot: "Boss, Chip Development Research Institute There is news that Academician Ni’s team has made a major breakthrough in research on 90nm chip manufacturing technology!”

Wu Tao immediately stood up and asked, "Did you hear that correctly?"

"I have confirmed it again and again." Liu Ruoxi's beautiful eyes glowed with excitement.

Not to mention her, even Wu Tao was so excited that he immediately ordered: "Notify Uncle Zhuang immediately and start preparing to return to Jinling tonight."

Liu Ruoxi responded and went out to make a phone call again.

In the private room, Yang Shining suddenly said: "Boss, can I go back and take a look?"

"Okay!" Wu Tao said nothing, but he didn't expect that as soon as he finished speaking, Professor Hu, who had been silent next to him, also raised his hand, "Mr. Wu, can I go and see it together?"
