Becoming a Billionaire after Divorce-Chapter 766 - 288: Sun Dasheng Wants to Make a Difference

Chapter 766: Chapter 288: Sun Dasheng Wants to Make a Difference

Before leaving Rong City.

Sun Dasheng spent another day with Zhong Liying in tenderness.

Only then did he leave under her reluctant gaze.

The private plane flew directly to Mountain City.

The progress in Mountain City is actually not slow, machines are being installed and debugged over a few months.

This is unavoidable; with precision instruments, just the installation and debugging of machines takes more than half a year.

Even a slight error makes the yield rate of the wafers disturbingly low.

In this industry, the old saying "sharpening the knife doesn’t delay the work of chopping firewood" is vividly demonstrated.

To build this wafer plant well, Sun Dasheng specially invited Zhang Ruojin, known as the ’Factory Building Demon’, at a high price.

He worked at American Texas Instruments Company for 20 years, accumulating rich semiconductor manufacturing experience.

The SMIC in Mainland China was built under his leadership, and from construction to production it only took 13 months. This would be considered a serious delay in other manufacturing industries, but those familiar with the wafer plant field know how frightening this speed is.

Of course, his willingness to help isn’t about money. To someone like him who is financially free, money is insignificant.

More importantly, Sun Dasheng is a shareholder of SMIC.

And he promised that once the wafer plant is completed, he would give the other party dry shares.

And hire his protégés to hold crucial positions.

In the end, it’s still an exchange of interests.

"Mr. Zhang, thank you for your hard work." Sun Dasheng came straight to the factory after getting off the plane.

Zhang Ruojin is already 76 years old, and Sun Dasheng’s words are not a compliment; it was indeed a lot for the old man.

Making him travel back and forth at such an age made Sun Dasheng feel somewhat apologetic.

But who knew Zhang Ruojin laughed gracefully: "What’s so hard about this? I’ve devoted my whole life to the chip industry. As long as I can contribute to the country’s chip business, why would I spare this body?"

These words made Sun Dasheng respect him even more.

The pillar of the chip industry, an old warrior, his whole being was shining.

It’s worth noting that he was born in Taiwan and later went to study in America, worked there for decades, had a sudden awakening at over 50, returned to serve the country, not hesitating to fall out with Taiwan, this is something not everyone can do.

"Compared with you, I still have a lot to learn." Sun Dasheng humbly shook hands with him.

"I’m glad to see the country has successors." Zhang Ruojin also held Sun Dasheng, this young talent, in high regard.

"How’s the progress?" The conversation returned to business.

Zhang Ruojin immediately became serious, "Let me take you inside to have a look."

"Alright, after you, please!" Sun Dasheng courteously said.

After touring the factory, Old Zhang finally spoke, "According to the current progress, the equipment installation and debugging will still need 3 months, and the real production time is estimated to be eight months later."

"No rush, this is already very fast, no wonder it’s you. If it were someone else, it would probably take a year and a half."

They had a simple dinner together in the evening and chatted about the domestic chip industry.

Old Zhang mentioned an interesting point that Sun Dasheng had never considered before.

That is, in the fields where our country lags far behind abroad, it’s basically areas with high technical content but very small market shares.

For example, with lithography machines, the real chip design and manufacturing capabilities, as long as the West is willing to sell us lithography machines, catching up would be easy.

This surprised Sun Dasheng, but after thinking it over, it also made a lot of sense.

Once, he had read articles about pen nibs, toilet seats on Yilin Readers, which of course had become a joke by now, but at that time, Chinese deeply believed in them.

Old Zhang laughed heartily at this, saying this analogy isn’t quite the same as lithography machines, as the technology content is general, but the story does have its amusing similarities. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Which is the market share is too small, and the country cannot afford to invest huge sums of money in these areas as well to catch up with global leaders.

First, it’s unnecessary, back then the country was poor, so the best resources had to be used on the cutting edge.

Second, if you do so, you’ll eventually offend all the countries in the world, which would leave them without a livelihood.

Old Zhang concluded: "The idea of the Chinese people to strive in everything is very good, it’s a fine quality but not sensible. Our country only needs to master the advanced technologies in areas extremely important for the nation’s and the people’s future, to lead the new directions of human development is enough, there’s no need to do everything perfectly, otherwise, how can others still cooperate with you amicably?"

"Makes sense! I’ve truly been enlightened!" Sun Dasheng felt that listening to the conversation was better than reading ten years of books.

"We are old, it depends on you young people in the future." Old Zhang said with some emotion.

Sun Dasheng quickly said: "Your health is so good, you can continue to shine for another twenty years."

"Hahaha... that would be great."

On the return flight.

Sun Dasheng suddenly felt an urgency, wanting to do more.

Seeing the older generation working tirelessly for the country, he now also has endless glory; money in his eyes in fact gradually became just a number, and the idea of doing more meaningful things suddenly popped into his mind.

Returning to Shanghai City.

Luo Yifan immediately began a nationwide inspection without a moment’s rest.

This made the little secretary Huang Han a bit puzzled, "Director Sun, you’ve been traveling for so many days, you finally returned to the company, won’t you take a good rest?"
