"What did you just say? Chip?" Director Zhang vaguely heard the word and immediately stared at Chen Jie and said.

"Yes, our main project now is to develop a chip. Is it high-tech enough?" Chen Jie said it directly without hiding it.

"You are the only one who still makes chips? Do you have a photolithography machine? And how to design a chip is so difficult that even experts from the Chinese Academy of Sciences can't come up with a good plan."

Director Zhang has some familiarity with the difficulties and obstacles in the semiconductor industry.

He knows that this industry is very expensive, so there are no institutions in the country that will focus on researching this.

What's more, currently China's demand for semiconductors is not large.

Therefore, people have more of an indifferent attitude, and do not have the sense of urgency that it is necessary.

If you need a small amount, you can rely on imports.

But Chen Jie is different. Through his exchanges with Chen Weidong, he knows that with the development of the computer industry and informatization, chips will become more and more important.

So we must prepare for a rainy day now.

Chen Jie said: "Of course we have a photolithography machine. As for the design plan, Professor Kruger is already studying it."

"Are you talking about the photolithography machine you brought back before?"

Director Zhang smiled. He had also seen the photolithography machine brought back by the island country. The accuracy could only be said to be average.

It is indeed enough to make some ordinary chips, but there is still a big gap to meet the accuracy standards of Western countries.

However, since Chen Jie has such enthusiasm for scientific research, he is too embarrassed to attack him.

After thinking about it, he still said: "As for the chip you mentioned, it is indeed difficult to find researchers in this field, but there is a company that should have the person you want."

Chen Jie was overjoyed and asked hurriedly: "Which company?"

"Lenovo."

Director Zhang said two words softly.

"Good guy, don't they sell computers? How come there are researchers in this field?"

Chen Jie was surprised. He had bought Lenovo's shares before and of course he had some understanding of their company's fundamentals.

In his impression, Lenovo only sells computers. It has a technical foundation, but it should not be high. Unexpectedly, it also has the foresight to develop chips.

"It was there before, but it's gone now. Don't you even read newspapers?"

Director Zhang looked at him with some surprise. The recent incident of Lenovo Group's dismissal of Ni Guangnan had been causing quite a stir, but Chen Jie didn't even know about it.

"There are so many things going on in the company recently, how can I have time to care about this?" Chen Jie was a little embarrassed. He didn't want to be said to be ignorant, so he simply made an excuse.

Director Zhang nodded and did not dwell on this anymore, and then gave an overview of what happened recently at Lenovo Group.

"Ni Guangnan is one of the first academicians of the Academy of Engineering and a computer expert. If you can win him over, it will definitely be of great help to the research work."

"Is he so powerful? He is still an academician?!"

Chen Jie knows that "Academician" is the highest bachelor's title in science and technology established by China.

It is divided into the Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering.

Academicians are elected every two years, with no more than 60 members in total each time. Each of them is a well-known figure in a certain discipline.

He is also an authority in the industry, with voice and priority in many fields.

At the same time, it is also a prerequisite for many enterprises and scientific research institutions to carry out some major projects. Without academicians, the projects cannot be started.

In universities, there are many stories of one academician supporting a department.

Director Zhang suddenly became a little serious and said: "Of course it is very powerful. In the past, computers used ASCII codes and could not input Chinese. It was Ni Guangnan and others who spent sixteen years developing the Chinese character input method to solve the problem.

solve this problem.”

"Later, in order to improve efficiency and reduce frequent access to memory during Chinese character input, they developed the Lenovo Chinese Card."

"This is a technology that combines software and hardware. It uses hardware chips and special software to solve the problem of Chinese character input."

"For example, when using the Lenovo Hanka, if the operator types the word "eat", a series of associated phrases such as "eat" and "surprise" will automatically pop up on the screen."

"You may not be surprised now, but this was a great achievement in the past, and that's how the company's name "Lenovo" came from."

"In the market at that time, Lenovo Hanka was not only a monopoly product, but also a scarce product. They were the only ones in the country who had it."

"A Hanka card sells for 4,000 yuan, and the cost is less than 1,000 yuan."

"It was still 1985."

"In less than two years, the output value of Lenovo Hanka has approached 100 million yuan. Success has helped Lenovo achieve capital accumulation and also made Lenovo stand out from many companies in Zhongguancun."

"Otherwise, would Liu Chuanzhi be able to talk and laugh happily in Zhongguancun now?"

Director Zhang's words gave Chen Jie a great insight. He didn't expect that there was such a connection, but he couldn't help but feel a little sad when he thought that Ni Guangnan was kicked out by Lenovo.

At this moment, he suddenly stood up and said decisively: "We are going to make a decision on this person!"

No matter how you look at it, these are talents they desperately need. Coupled with the company's current situation, it can only be said that someone is giving them a pillow when they are dozing off.

"You should put the roster away first. I will go to Baijing in person tomorrow and pick people when I come back."

Chen Jie made a decision immediately.

Now he does things in a hurry. Whatever he decides to do, he will implement it immediately and will never procrastinate.

This made Lin Zeju look at him with admiration.

Director Zhang looked at him deeply and said, "Okay! I'll have someone contact you shortly and arrange a meeting for you as soon as possible!"

Chen Jie poured the tea on the table down his throat: "Then I'll wait for your good news. Let's go and do the company's work first."

After saying that, Lin Zeju also stood up, said a few polite words and prepared to return to the company.

"Wait a minute, have you asked Xiao Chen when he will return to China?" Director Zhang slapped his forehead and suddenly thought of this matter.

They always say that they will return to the country next week, but it has already been almost a month. You are still staying in the island country and have not come back. Are you really obsessed with the gentle country and can't you miss Shu?

Young people have poor self-control.

Director Zhang warned him very solemnly and asked him to go back and urge him again, saying that he had important things to discuss with Chen Weidong when he came back.

"Okay, I'll hurry him up."

Chen Jie had no choice but to deal with it casually and then drove back to the company with Lin Zeju quickly.

But halfway through, he asked Lin Zeju to go back first, and he drove around to the Infinity Computer Building on Guangdong Avenue, opposite Haitong Securities.

Everything went smoothly. He quickly walked to an office door and pushed in.
