In today's rapid development of science and technology, we know that chips are undoubtedly a solid pillar to support the prosperity of modern civilization! The dawn of many technological innovations comes from breakthroughs and continuous progress in chip research and development.
Its importance can be described as extraordinary, and it is very important. However, in this world of hope and opportunity, there are still some people with sinister intentions. In the name of innovation, they have committed fraud, confusing the eyes of many experts and scholars and deceiving the entire public.
The methods of these chip scammers are vicious and vicious, and the intrigues are endless. They are well versed in technology and are proficient in all aspects of chip design and manufacturing. With this expertise, they cleverly forged the false identity of "domestic chips" to lure the fund review experts into being deceived.
There are even cases that directly embezzle the mature technology of foreign companies and defraud under the guise of "independent innovation".
What's even more shocking is that these chip scammers often have extremely high educational backgrounds and rich experience in the industry, making people defenseless against them.
The story began in 2001, when a doctor named Chen Jin returned from overseas studies and returned to his homeland with great ambition to start a business. With his professional chip training in the United States and work experience in global leading companies such as Motorola and Analog Device, he quickly won the favor of Shanghai Jiao Tong University and was appointed as the head of the chip and system research center.
However, at that time, the most scarce talent in China was the talent with independent chip design capabilities. To meet this need, the ambitious Chen Jin went so far as to falsify his work as a chip design manager at Motorola and Analog Devices.
In this way, an exaggerated resume became the cornerstone of Chen Jin's future rise. At that time, he was full of ambition and endless expectations for the future, but it also laid the foundation for him to become a liar in the future.
In 2003, Chen Jin led his research team and suddenly announced the launch of a chip product called "Hanxin No. 1", which became a blockbuster. This chip product brings together cutting-edge technology from China and the West, and has successfully passed the expert appraisal of the national "863 Program" and won wide praise.
At that glorious press conference, Hanxin No. 1 was like a magic weapon and made a stunning appearance! On the same day, leaders at all levels in Shanghai, the top expert jury of the Science and Technology Commission and the top scholars in the industry gathered here, all of whom were overwhelmed by the excellent performance and powerful functions of this chip, and they were immersed in it and experienced it to the fullest.
Praise for this chip has sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and countless patent applications, layout design protection rights, and scientific research funds of up to hundreds of millions of yuan have poured in.
For those chip practitioners who have been eagerly looking forward to "independent innovation" for a long time, the dream in their hearts has finally been perfectly reflected on this chip.
However, scams are often hidden beneath this seemingly glorious façade. In fact, as early as the beginning of the release, Chen Jin used improper means to purchase the source code of Motorola's DSP56800E chip through various relationship channels, and after simple modification, it was introduced to the market in the name of "Hanxin independent innovation".
After careful planning and packaging, this chip has obtained six patents and layout design protection rights in a deceptive way! What's even more amazing is that although Hanxin chips have never achieved any batch shipment and sales since the day of their birth, Hanxin has claimed that it has received orders for millions of chips.
This kind of fact, which defied common sense, did not attract enough attention and suspicion at the time, but was regarded as another miracle of innovation.
In the early stage of the research and development of the Hanxin project, every participating scientific researcher had a burning heart, and they were eager to contribute their meager strength to the domestic chip industry. Especially at the moment when they learned that "Hanxin No. 1" had made a breakthrough, their hearts were undoubtedly full of excitement and emotion.
However, this excitement quickly turned into shock and doubt. With the gradual deepening of the communication and discussion within the project team, the members began to notice some abnormal signs, and vaguely felt that "Hanxin No. 1" was not from Chen Jin.
Faced with such a great secret, each participant fell into a deep silence.
After all, there are still some people who wake up from their dreams of glory, and their conscience finally triumphs over their selfish desires. A report letter full of a sense of justice quietly bloomed like a light in the dark, pointing directly to the serious fraud involved in Chen Jin's "Hanxin No. 1" project.
However, it is heart-wrenching that the anonymous letter of that era, full of impartiality and selflessness, was drowned in dust and did not receive the attention it deserved.
Fast forward to 2006, and the fraud scandal involving Chen Jin was like a bombshell, and it was publicized at a forum at Tsinghua University. This sudden whistleblower letter was like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, which suddenly sounded the alarm bell in Chen Jin's heart, and he had to immediately issue a statement to defend himself in an attempt to cover up the truth.
However, this whistleblower letter, which is only 100 words, is sharp in words, revealing all of Chen Jin's fraudulent behaviors in a coherent manner. It has never shipped a real product, but claims to have received orders for more than a million pieces; The six patents obtained and the layout protection are full of doubts; The previously advertised performance tests are also highly likely fictitious... These words were as shocking as thunder, making Chen Jin tremble, unable to make any more senseless justifications.
Public opinion boiled in an instant, voices of condemnation and condemnation sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and Chen Jin finally fell into a situation of disrepute. Soon, an authoritative investigative team will step in, and they will do their best to unravel the mystery of the truth.
Investigators gradually confirmed how Chen Jin orchestrated and carried out this shocking scam:
First, he illegally obtained the source code of Motorola's DSP56800E chip and produced the physical chip according to the established steps. Then, he bought a batch of Motorola's finished chips, and after fine processing, erased the logo on their surface, and relabeled it as "Hanxin".
It is such a method of concealment that makes this chip successfully disguised as the false identity of "Hanxin No. 1". In order to keep the scam going, Chen Jin even cleverly signed a tape-out and testing cooperation agreement with overseas foundries to simulate the real process of chip development.
