SMIC's internal earthquake was struck again, and Wu Jingang, a twenty-year-old man known as the SMIC Five Tigers, resigned.
Everyone knows that SMIC is the most likely to bring a breakthrough to Chinese chips, but I can't buy his stock because SMIC's internal instability is not stable.
The circle of semiconductors is very small, a vote of backbone is not old classmates or old friends, there are old enemies, whether you dig from Taiwan, from the United States, or from Singapore, everyone knows, are the generation of people.
You can't jump out of that little circle.
For example, the above SMIC executive, the old leader of Zhou Zixue, when Zhang Rujing from Taiwan came to the mainland to start SMIC in 2001, he was supported by his good friend Zhou Zixue.
Zhou Zixue was then the director of the Operations Department of the Ministry of Information Industry.
Zhou Zixue supported Zhang Rujing to come to the mainland to start SMIC, which also targeted the infighting in Taiwan's semiconductor circle at that time.
Zhang Rujing and TSMC founder Zhang Zhongmou, when working at Texas Instruments in the United States, were old colleagues, and Zhang Zhongmou was the leader of Zhang Rujing.
But the relationship between the two is not good, Zhang Rujing disobeyed Zhang Zhongmou, the two returned to Taiwan one after another, Zhang Zhongmou founded "TSMC", Zhang Rujing founded "Shida Semiconductor".
Although TSMC was founded earlier than the world, Zhang Rujing can work hard, the technology is excellent, and the company has achieved profitability in three years of establishment, just when Zhang Rujing was full of ambition to kill TSMC, the yin beckoned.
Strangling a rising competitor is what the leader will do.
TSMC has always wanted to eat "Shida", after a year of soft grinding and hard bubbles, many times increased prices, and finally Zhang Zhongmou ate all the equity of "Shida's major shareholder" at a price of 5 billion US dollars.
Although Zhang Rujing is the founder and manages the company, he is not a major shareholder, and the entire TSMC swallowing up shida is carried out in secret.
It was not until the completion of the acquisition agreement that Zhang Rujing woke up to a big dream, and he was the last person in the company's top management to know that the company was eaten by TSMC.
In this way, Zhang Rujing and Zhang Zhongmou, who were already at odds, completely broke up.
It was also against this background of discouragement that Zhou Zixue, director general of the Ministry of Information Industry, urged Zhang Rujing to come to the mainland for development.
The mainland gave Zhang Rujing land, preferential tax treatment, and various policy support, and after such a strong invitation, Zhang Rujing decided to go to the mainland and re-attack the country.
So in 2001, SMIC was founded.
Jiang Shangyi, the second person at SMIC, is very senior in semiconductor circles and has good connections, known as the affectionate nickname of "Jiang Dad".
If Zhang Zhongmou is Chao Gai, who kills clearly in the Water Margin and dares to fight and dare to do it, then Jiang Shangyi is Song Jiang, who is invincible in popularity and has friends everywhere.
And Jiang Shangyi and Zhang Zhongmou, that is also an old friend, a good brother, an iron brother.
How good is the relationship between the two?
Zhang Zhongmou's second wife, Zhang Shufen, was brokered by Jiang Shangyi.
At that time, it was still the 80s, Zhang Zhongmou was the president of the Institute of Industry and Research, Zhang Shufen was the director of the office, and the two people had families when they knew each other, but Zhang Zhongmou and his wife were separated for a long time.
If these two people want to be together, they need a very important matchmaker to match, and this matchmaker is Jiang Shangyi.
Zhang Shufen's husband, Wu Dingkai, is the director of the Taiwan Chemical Industry Institute, and Jiang Shangyi and Wu Dingkai are old friends
That is to say, Jiang Shangyi is not only good with Zhang Zhongmou's family, but also with Zhang Shufen's family.
Then, under his mediation, when the time is ripe, Zhang Shufen and Zhang Zhongmou will both marry twice.
So what do you say is the relationship between Jiang Shangyi and Zhang Zhongmou? That's an old friend, an iron buddy, or a big matchmaker.
Then this is very interesting, these two iron brothers, now one is the founder of Taiwan's TSMC, the godfather of semiconductors.
One is SMIC's second-in-command.
SMIC and TSMC are in a competitive relationship, and the target that SMIC wants to defeat is TSMC.
So intriguing, you can taste it yourself.
And the other person in SMIC's current top management, Liang Mengsong, Liang Mengsong and Zhang Zhongmou and Jiang Shangyi, two people, have a very poor relationship.
The main reason is that many years ago, when Liang Mengsong was still working at TSMC, there was an infighting within TSMC.
At that time, TSMC's vice president of R&D Jiang Shangyi (left) retired, so it was necessary to re-elect a vice president of R&D, and Liang Mengsong and Sun Yuancheng eventually competed for the position of a vice president of R&D.
Liang Mengsong is a technical bull, but his personality is lonely and difficult to get along with, that is, the kind that does experiments in the laboratory every day and does not speak, not sleek, and does not understand human feelings.
Therefore, Jiang Shangyi, the former vice president, did not support Liang Mengsong to take his position.
Zhang Zhongmou's view is the same, Zhang Zhongmou feels that such a wizard is suitable for being a scientific research talent, and it may not be appropriate to be a leadership position such as a vice president of research and development.
In the end, Liang Mengsong was defeated.
That in Liang Mengsong's heart, it must be unbalanced, I paid so much for TSMC, but as a result, in exchange for a snubbed end, he will feel in his heart that Jiang Shangyi deliberately did not recommend himself.
Disheartened, Liang Mengsong, with the help of his Korean wife, went to Samsung to play.
Zhang Zhongmou saw that Liang Mengsong went to the opponent Samsung, and his heart was not at ease, and sure enough, with the help of Liang Mengsong, Samsung completed the transcendence of "TSMC" for the first time and snatched the order for apple's A9 processor from TSMC.
This incident hit Zhang Zhongmou very hard at the time, and he described it as a moment of life and death for the company.
So what to do? Normal people want to continue to chase technology and increase technology research and development.
But what Zhang Zhongmou wanted was to sue him.
Sued Liang Mengsong for stealing TSMC's trade secrets, violating the company's confidentiality principle.
Semiconductor technology is one of the most difficult technologies in the world, and one of its biggest features is the huge cost of upfront research and development.
Liang Mengsong, who went to Samsung, did not have to do too much, as long as he told Samsung that in the research and development of those roads is TSMC to walk but can not go through, you can save Samsung a lot of research and development costs.
So after Samsung dug up Liang Mengsong, Liang Mengsong helped Samsung take a lot of detours.
That Zhang Zhongmou was angry, but he was going to sue Liang Mengsong, so he found Jiang Shangyi, who had retired, and was specifically responsible for suing Liang Mengsong.
In this way, the enmity between Liang and Jiang was even greater, and TSMC launched a number of lawsuits against Liang Mengsong, who was sent to court and wept bitterly in court, complaining bitterly about TSMC's injustice.
In the end, Liang Mengsong lost the case.
Liang Mengsong was once again reorganized by Jiang Shangyi, who left Samsung, but such technical talents were quickly poached by SMIC and became the core of SMIC's technology.
Liang and Jiang can be said to be like water and fire, but at the end of 2020, SMIC suddenly invited Liang Mengsong's enemy, let Jiang Shangyi serve as the vice chairman of the company, and Jiang Shangyi became Liang Mengsong's boss.
This directly made Liang Mengsong resign in anger.
But in the end, Liang Mengsong did not leave, and SMIC relied on money to keep him, so how much money was given?
First, more than a dozen times the salary, Liang Mengsong originally earned $340,000 a year, and in order to keep this big bull, he now has an annual salary of $4.93 million (31 million yuan).
Second, send another house of more than 20 million yuan in Shanghai.
Relying on this, Liang Mengsong was left behind.
Liang Mengsong is indeed a technical bull, and the money is completely spent, so why does SMIC pull the two together when it knows that Liang Mengsong and Jiang Shangyi are a pair of enemies?
There is a very important background here, that is, the Sino-US science and technology war.
As mentioned above, Jiang Shangyi is more like Song Jiang, who has excellent connections in semiconductor circles, and when the United States continues to block China's high-tech development, it is very necessary for Jiang Shangyi to mediate between them.
Jiang Shangyi's role is to help SMIC, in the context of the Great Blockade in the United States, rely on his connections and connections to indirectly obtain talents, technology, and equipment, which is very important.
So even if everyone in the circle knows that Jiang Shangyi and Liang Mengsong do not deal with it, for the sake of SMIC, Zhou Zixue still has to pull Jiang Shangyi in.
This is the main reason.
However, a wave of uneven, a wave of rise, SMIC is not only Liang Mengsong a technical bull, SMIC Five Tigers, talking about the SMIC five technical bulls, they support the current SMIC chip technology development.
The five people are:
1, Liang Mengsong
2, Zhao Haijun
3, Wu Jingang
4, Zhang Xin
5, Zhou Meisheng
Of these five big cattle, Liang Mengsong's annual salary rose from 340,000 to 4.93 million US dollars, and he also gave away a house of 20 million yuan in Shanghai.
Then you have a salary increase like this, please ask the other big bulls what they think.
Psychology will definitely be unbalanced, this is the common sentiment of people, the same is the company's technical bull, you Liang Mengsong resigned indignantly, the company in order to keep you, give you such a high treatment, then what about me?
Psychological imbalance is normal, there is no psychological imbalance, it is not normal.
In this context, Wu Jingang, one of the five tiger generals of SMIC, announced his resignation, and Wu Jingang resigned, which is equivalent to giving up the 9.3 million worth of shares in his hand.
However, this kind of drama is too common in semiconductor circles, and soon everyone will see Wu Jingang going to work for other semiconductor companies.
The semiconductor circle is very small, the talent is also very small, the real technology has the ability of those few people, semiconductors have never lacked money, there is a shortage of talents.
King Kong Wu resigned from SMIC today, giving up 9.3 million, and tomorrow he will be able to find higher-paying jobs at other semiconductor companies.
Here I must say again, the problem of China's semiconductor development, that is, the semiconductor industry, absolutely can not engage in "a hundred schools of contention, a hundred flowers blooming".
You absolutely cannot encourage all provinces and all walks of life to engage in semiconductors, and the practice of semiconductors blooming will only restrict the development of the semiconductor industry.
The semiconductor industry is a kind of "high-risk, high-input, slow return" industry, and you must concentrate your strengths on technological breakthroughs.
And if in the case of a hundred flowers blooming, digging people to dig corners will become very common, I set up a new semiconductor company, I will open a high price to dig SMIC's talents, then SMIC's talent system will be damaged, and the research and development progress will slow down.
The newly established semiconductor company went bankrupt within a few years, and the talent flowed to a newly established semiconductor company.
As shown in the figure above, in the past two years, with the encouragement of all parties, semiconductor companies have soared, and China has added 20,000 new semiconductor-related enterprises in one year.
Still that sentence, semiconductors, engaging in a hundred flowers, is not a good thing, we must concentrate talents, concentrate technology, concentrate funds, and make every effort to public relations.
Finally, let's talk about SMIC's five tiger generals, now it's the four tigers, and Wu Jingang is gone.
1, Liang Mengsong.
2, Zhao Haijun.
3, Zhang Xin.
4, Zhou Meisheng.
Of the remaining four tigers, Liang Mengsong is a Taiwanese, Zhao Haijun is a Singaporean national, Zhou Meisheng is a Singaporean national, and Zhang Xin is a Singaporean citizen.
1, Liang Mengsong (Taiwan)
2, Zhao Haijun (Singapore)
3, Zhang Xin (Singapore)
4, Chow Mei Sang (Singapore)
Good guys, this SMIC Four Tigers, none of them Chinese mainland. Wu Jingang, the only mainland, is still gone.
I am not qualified to oppose others to become Singaporeans, but I would like to say that none of the most important technology bulls in China's most important chip industry, SMIC, are Chinese mainland, which is sad.
This is also the reason why SMIC's team is not easy to manage, and various internal contradictions and internal struggles frequently break out.
Because his team is not supported by faith and ideas, they are not Chinese, why do you ask them to contribute wholeheartedly to China's semiconductor industry?
I can stay in SMIC because SMIC gives more banknotes, good treatment, and values banknotes, not the development of China's chip industry.
One day, another company offers a higher price, then this talent will leave immediately, and he has no feelings for your company.
You can't keep people at all.
And in the context of the semiconductor circle full of flowers, constantly burning money, competition and poaching, how much money can you open in SMIC?
In the end, or Chinese mainland semiconductor talent is too lacking, you go to ask those college entrance examination winners, who is willing to choose semiconductors.
Therefore, the departure of Wu Jingang of SMIC Five Tigers is not surprising at all, and if the internal contradictions are not settled, SMIC has been dragged by one foot and will never be able to run.
Thanks for liking, retweeting and sharing
