Preface
In the current development of science and technology, the chip industry is considered to be a very important field and one of the focuses of competition among countries.
China's chip industry has made great progress in recent years, especially for technology-based enterprises represented by Huawei, whose development in the chip field is particularly eye-catching.
However, the history and strength of the United States in the field of chips cannot be underestimated.
As early as decades ago, the United States has begun the research and application of chip technology and established a huge chip industry ecosystem.
It is precisely because of this early accumulation and investment that the United States has a great advantage in chip technology.
And to a certain extent, a situation of technological blockade has been formed, in a vain attempt to suppress and restrict the development of chip technology in the mainland.
Just when the Chinese people are fighting the same enemy, a female Chinese stands out in the American chip industry.
As the dark horse in this field and the CEO of Chaowei Semiconductor Co., Ltd., under her leadership, the United States continues to innovate and progress in the fields of graphics processors and artificial intelligence.
Not only that, with her excellent business acumen and leadership skills, she is known as the "chip queen" who is the most money-making with an annual salary of 400 million!
Who is this powerful woman? What magic does she have to stand out in the male-dominated Silicon Valley?
As a Chinese, why would she work for an American technology company?
The fetters of fate
Two years ago, there was an interview that was very funny: at the 2018 Chinese Grand Prix, a foreign reporter interviewed a seemingly ordinary Chinese aunt.
When the reporter jokingly asked what the aunt was doing here, the aunt said surprisingly, "My AMD company sponsors the Ferrari team"!
As soon as he heard this, the reporter instantly stammered.
After hearing these words, there is nothing unclear, the aunt in front of me, who seems to be thin and small, and is dressed extremely ordinarily, is Su Lifeng, the queen of the chip industry.
When many people saw Su Lifeng for the first time, they felt that she was an ordinary person who could no longer be ordinary.
In all fairness, Ms. Su Lifeng's appearance is not outstanding, but this does not prevent her from becoming a goddess in the eyes of many people.
Because she is such a woman, she received a master's and doctoral degree from MIT in her early 20s, and she has not only held important positions in many high-tech giant companies in the United States.
is also a member of the National Academy of Engineering, has been in Fortune magazine, etc., and I believe few people will not know her title.
Not only that, but the past of this big guy is also jaw-dropping.
When it comes to AMD's birth date, few people know that it was in 1969.
In the same year, a wealthy family far away in Taiwan, China, a girl who was destined to be extraordinary also landed, she was Su Lifeng.
Perhaps from this moment on, the bond of fate has been formed between the two.
An open life
Lisa Su's keen interest in technology and innovation was evident at a very young age.
While girls her age were still indulging in playing with rag dolls and playing house, she was already obsessed with her siblings' electric toys.
Instead of traditional play, she prefers to take these toys apart and study their composition.
Fortunately, her parents were also very open-minded and never blamed her.
After discovering their daughter's unusual talents, her parents encouraged her to study mathematics and science, and taught her to climb new heights without fear of difficulties.
These family education not only had an important impact on Su Lifeng's cultivation of the spirit of innovation and perseverance, but also laid a solid foundation for her future career.
When Su Lifeng was three years old, she moved to the United States with her father and became an American in the true sense of the word.
Even though the environment has changed dramatically, Su Lifeng still successfully enrolled in the top local high school with excellent grades.
Subsequently, she was admitted to the world-famous Massachusetts Institute of Technology in one fell swoop, and studied for a master's degree and a doctorate in electrical engineering in this university.
And when she graduated with her Ph.D., she was only 25 years old.
In a later interview with reporters, when asked why she chose the particularly difficult electrical engineering major, Su Lifeng replied: because this was what she thought was the most difficult thing at that time.
Constantly challenging new things and continuing to make progress is what she has always adhered to, and after completing her studies, Lisa Su began her career in Silicon Valley.
With her excellent resume and outstanding ability, she successfully joined large companies such as Feisi Semiconductor, and even held important positions such as chief technology officer and senior vice president at a young age.
At the same time, she also researched a new high-efficiency, green and environmentally friendly chip, and won the honorary award.
At this time, she was less than 40 years old, and she was already well-known in the industry.
But even so, this is still not a big challenge for Su Lifeng, just when she is a little "confused" about her future, a problem arises that makes her find her way forward again.
Turning the tables against the wind
In a speech, Lisa Su once said: My business decisions are good because I understand technology.
It was after saying these words that she made up her mind not to work for others and to make decisions on her own.
And the major crisis of the American company Chaowei Semiconductor (AMD) provided her with such an opportunity.
AMD, as a chip company leading the AI wave, has seen its stock price rise. Especially after a period of resurrection, its stock price far surpassed Intel, and the person who led AMD to turn around against the wind was Su Lifeng.
At the beginning of the 21st century, AMD's financial situation continued to deteriorate, and it even had difficulty repaying its debts.
Although the company's top management changed its strategy in a timely manner, it was almost only a matter of time before the company laid off employees and went out of business.
Just when AMD was in a deep trough, in 2014, Su Lifeng was appointed as the company's CEO to deal with this mess single-handedly.
It was the emergence of Lisa Su that brought a turnaround to AMD, and it also completely laid the foundation for her important position in the industry.
Under her leadership, the company has proposed new chip architectures, expanded growth in the gaming space, and acquired Xilinx.
It is this series of measures that has allowed AMD to be reborn in the midst of fire and water.
Not only has the company's stock price continued to soar, but Lisa Su herself has even been on Fortune magazine's list of the most influential women for two consecutive years, and she is known as a rare female CEO in the semiconductor industry.
Today, with a deep understanding and leadership in semiconductor technology and computer science, Lisa Su leads AMD to innovate in areas such as artificial intelligence, graphics processors, and high-performance computing.
She has driven the application and development of these technologies in various industries, and she has extremely high experience and prestige in the semiconductor industry.
The annual salary is over 400 million!
Such a big guy, what kind of salary can be worthy of her?
As early as two years ago, someone broke the news that as the chairman, president and CEO of AMD, Su Lifeng had an annual salary of 58.5 million US dollars (about 416 million yuan).
She became the highest-paid female CEO in the world, and she was even named one of the world's top 100 best-performing CEOs by the prestigious Harvard Business Review.
Su Lifeng's legendary life is the absolute protagonist in the novel, she is a top scientist in science and a top CEO in business, and she deserves the title of "Queen of Semiconductors in the World".
Compared to ordinary people, Lisa Su's success is inseparable from her family background, personal talent and hard work, as well as her love and dedication to technology.
Under the influence of her parents, she received a wealth of knowledge and inspiration, which laid a solid foundation for her future studies and career development.
God rewards hard work, even with a solid family background, Su Lifeng has never slackened, relying on her own talent and learning ability, passion and dedication to technology, so that she can overcome all kinds of difficulties and challenges.
Stand out in the male-dominated semiconductor field and keep creating and innovating.
epilogue
It has to be said that Lisa Su deserves to be a dynamic and creative leader, and her life experience shows the spirit of struggle, innovation and social responsibility.
At the same time, her outstanding contributions to the development of the semiconductor industry and the promotion of artificial intelligence technology are worthy of our consideration and learning.
Her story has inspired countless people and demonstrated the importance of perseverance and pursuing their dreams, making her undoubtedly a role model and role model for many.
Whether it is Huawei's high-precision talents in China or Lisa Su in the United States, they have shown outstanding strength and influence in their respective fields.
In the future, I hope that they can continue to make important contributions to the development of science and technology in the world.
What do you think about this different female CEO?
