Ye Chen smiled in response.
"Well, Sister Yuan, Brother Qin, you two tell me!
"Boss Ye, this is it, I came to you with a mission this time!
Qin Xuan on the side took over the conversation.
"Oh? You came to me with a mission? What do you mean?" Ye Chen straightened his sitting posture, with a puzzled look on his face.
"Mr. Ye, maybe I didn't tell you my identity clearly last time we met. Well, I'm from the Jiangzhou Branch of the Semiconductor Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and I mainly focus on research and development in the chip field!" Qin Xuan said. Jiangzhou Branch of the Semiconductor Research Institute?
Focus on the chip field?
Jiangzhou Branch..Chip..Qin Xuan...
These three are connected in series.
In an instant, the name Qin Xuan became more and more familiar in Ye Chen's mind.
But there is no time to think too much at the moment.
"Well, go ahead!
"Mr. Ye, didn't you acquire a semiconductor company in Yanjing before? First of all, as a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Sciences who is dedicated to the development of China's semiconductor industry, I really want to express my gratitude to Mr. Ye for his willingness to contribute to the development of domestic semiconductors, because only people in our circle know how difficult it is to develop semiconductors! In addition to the necessary support from the state, the development of domestic semiconductors cannot rely solely on our Chinese Academy of Sciences. In any case, cooperation with enterprises is indispensable!
Qin Xuan cleared his throat, "Unfortunately, success in the semiconductor industry is not something that can be achieved overnight. Before success, you have to endure and spend a lot of money to endure. However, there are not many companies that can and are willing to endure such hardships! Our Jiangzhou Research Institute has cooperated with several companies before, but they couldn't hold on any longer!
"So you want me to acquire the company that cooperates with your institute?" Ye Chen raised his eyebrows.
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant!" Qin Xuan quickly shook his head. "Then what?" Ye Chen asked.
"As I said just now, I came here with a mission, so I represent the Jiangzhou Semiconductor Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. We want to cooperate with Mr. Ye's Tenglong Technology! To be honest with you, Mr. Ye, we have contacted Huawei, SMIC, and several other large and high-quality companies before, but they have already entered the cooperation period with other branches!
Qin Xuan continued, "Considering that Mr. Ye has just completed the acquisition of a semiconductor technology company, I would like to ask Mr. Ye if he is interested in cooperating with us in the form of financial investment, focusing on the chip field!
"No, your institute's project funding has to rely on finding companies to cooperate with?" Ye Chen was confused.
Qin Xuan shook his head helplessly and sighed, "Boss Ye, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. This is often the current situation of the research institute. It's not just our Jiangzhou Research Institute, but many other research institutes have to face this situation! Although the country now attaches enough importance to the development of semiconductors and is not vague or soft in allocating funds, there are too many monks and less meat!
After a pause, Qin Xuan continued, "In the past, as long as we could get the project, the funding from the government was indispensable. But as more and more research institutes participated, they all wanted to make breakthroughs in the chip field and gain credit, resulting in insufficient funds! In the past, we had funds as long as we established a project, but now we have to find funds after establishing a project. The government has relaxed the cooperation between the Chinese Academy of Sciences and enterprises, hoping that enterprises will join this money-burning development competition. After losing the cooperation of those previous enterprises, our institute is facing the dilemma of lack of funds!"
"So your research institute turned its attention to me?" Ye Chen narrowed his eyes and said lightly.
"Yes, but this is also because Mr. Ye acquired the semiconductor company. If Mr. Ye had not entered the field of semiconductor technology research and development, and let us see Mr. Ye's ambition in the semiconductor field, we... would not dare to approach Mr. Ye!" Qin Xuan said.
Ye Chen had already had plans and ideas to cooperate with the Institute of Semiconductors of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
However, he was not in a hurry, he was waiting...
Waiting for the chip project called 'Shenxing II'..
In the past, the rise of domestic chips was inseparable from the 5nm high-end lithography machine, and even more inseparable from the chip project called "Shenxing II". It was the successful breakthrough of that project that allowed domestic chips to achieve a series of overtaking on the basis of the 5nm lithography machine like a rocket.
Therefore, what he had thought before was to go to Beijing again after a while and talk to Li Yuange, and use the topic of chip development to see if he could get some information about "Shenxing II" so that he could find a way to get started.
According to his memories from his previous life, he knew that the Shenxing II chip project had already started, and it was in the hands of the Semiconductor Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, but he didn't know which institute it was in. He only knew that although Shenxing II had already started, it would take several twists and turns before the project could successfully break through. It was said that the project was almost ruined for some reason.
Based on this, he wanted to see if he could find the 'Shenxing II' project through Li Yuange.
But he never expected that before he could look for the 'Shenxing I' project.
Jiangzhou Semiconductor Research Institute sent Qin Xuan to find him.
Seeing Ye Chen fall into silence.
Qin Xuan thought that Ye Chen was not interested in what he said.
He immediately took out a document from his briefcase.
"Mr. Ye, this is the next project plan of our Jiangzhou Research Institute. You can take a look at it before considering it! It would be best if you are interested, but it doesn't matter if you are not interested. But there is one thing, I hope Mr. Ye will destroy it after reading it. Although this kind of project document is not confidential, if it is circulated, it will still have some impact on our institute!" Qin Xuan said.
After saying that, he handed over the document in his hand.
"Okay, I'll go back and take a closer look!"
Ye Chen took the document and put it on the dining table in front of him, without intending to look through it immediately.
"Okay, no problem! In fact, these are the intentions of the leadership of our institute. I am an associate researcher, and I am just a messenger! Of course, if I can arouse Mr. Ye's interest, that would undoubtedly be what I most hope to see! After all, funding is too important for a research institute. Without funding, the project will be shelved. Those of us who are engaged in scientific research can only focus on papers, and we cannot make breakthroughs in scientific research!" Qin Xuan said.
Ye Chen smiled and nodded.
Suddenly, "Does Secretary Yan know about this?"
"Mr. Ye, I only dared to come to you after obtaining my father-in-law's consent! If it weren't for his nod of approval, to be honest... I really wouldn't dare to be so rash!" Qin Xuan said with a smile.
