Chapter 184 The Pressure is Too High
While Kang Chi and Wang Haowen were chatting, they had unknowingly walked to the conference room. The main technical backbones of Dahan Xinye were already waiting for the new technology director inside.
After Kang Chi briefly introduced Wang Haowen to them, he announced: ”From today on, Wang Haowen will be the technical director of Dahan Xinye, who will be mainly responsible for the improvement and upgrading of production processes. Yu Jingmin will be the deputy director, who will be mainly responsible for the installation and commissioning of the company’s hardware projects such as normal production and production line expansion.”
”In addition, the sensor design team of the original Daqin Optics will be merged into Dahan Xinye to establish the Dahan Xinye chip design department, and Wang Haowen will temporarily be the department director.”
”If you have any objections, you can raise them now.”
After listening to Kang Chi’s words, everyone shook their heads and said they had no objections.
After Yu Jingmin, the former temporary technical director, breathed a sigh of relief, he could not help but feel a little puzzled. He raised his hand and said, “Boss Kang, I have a small question. What do you mean by the installation and debugging of the company’s hardware project you just mentioned?”
”This is the company’s next strategic direction. Simply put, it is the construction project of servers and supercomputers.”
”Supercomputer?!”
”Yes, but the supercomputer will only be launched after the project is mature. At that time, the participants will definitely not only be our company. I will send you a copy of the specific project plan later. What you have to do now is just the first stage, that is, to build a super server in Pengcheng. This project must be completed before June 30.”
Yu Jingmin nodded.
Although he is engaged in chip production and is not very good at building servers, the technical difficulty of building a server is always simpler than making chips, right?
If he and his subordinates can’t handle it, just outsource the project, and they are only responsible for promoting the project progress.
“But when building the server, you need to complete two other tasks.”
Kang Chi opened a picture, which showed the overall effect of the two chips.
”These two chips, one is GPU Dragon City, and the other is CPU Feijiang. I will give you the specific drawings later. You need to produce at least 50,000 of each within these two months.”
When the people below heard this, they were immediately shocked.
Directly took out two chips, and made 50,000 of each…
”Who designed these two chips?”
”Fuxi.” Kang Chi switched to the next picture, “This is a chip design software I wrote some time ago. It can greatly improve the efficiency of chip design. In the future, the chip design department will use this software for chip design. The server built in Pengcheng is also to provide this software service to Huawei.”
”Of course, Huawei is just the first one, and it will be opened to other domestic chip design companies in the future. In addition, the chip design department and the human resources department should make preparations in advance. We will accept thousands of front-end designers from Huawei in the next two months.”
Everyone was even more confused when they heard it, until Kang Chi spent more than ten minutes explaining it to them in detail, and they finally understood the whole story.
So, the super server that Kang Chi just mentioned is not an ordinary enterprise-level server at all, but a “super” cloud server that will be equipped with 100,000 CPUs and GPUs? This is completely a small supercomputer, right? How could he handle this?
Thinking of this, Yu Jingmin’s scalp tingled and he said, “Boss Kang, don’t we need to find a more professional person to take charge…”
”Aren’t you a professional?”
Kang Chi looked at Yu Jingmin expressionlessly, ”And I just asked you to coordinate the overall situation. You need to recruit people for specific matters. Isn’t Huawei in Pengcheng? They are the best at this, and you don’t need to write codes and install chips one by one.” After hearing what Kang Chi said, Yu Jingmin was relieved.
Next, Kang Chi assigned two more specific tasks:
The research and development and production projects of low-end mobile phone camera sensors and high-end medium-format film-level sensors.
Facing the projects and tasks thrown out by Kang Chi, Wang Haowen, who had just taken office, finally understood why Yu Jingmin was under so much pressure before that he didn’t even want to be a technical supervisor…
Although the research he did with Wu Lihong was hard work, he was also staring at a hard bone to chew. After coming to Dahan Xinye, he had to faceFaced with high-intensity multi-line operations, who would not be under less pressure to be the technical director? This million-dollar annual salary is not so easy to earn…
”Everyone, Dahan Xinye has just started, and there are so many projects and difficulties in front of you. It is understandable that you are a little overwhelmed.”
”But everything is difficult at the beginning. You have all been screened through layers of screening to enter the industry leader of Dahan Xinye. I believe that this difficulty is definitely not a problem for you.”
”Moreover, in fact, most of the technical difficulties of these projects have been solved by me. All you have to do is to fill this technical framework with flesh and blood. In addition, the company will soon have a large number of fresh blood coming in, so you don’t have to be too stressed. If you can avoid working overtime and staying up late, try to do less. Keep your body healthy for long-term operations, and there will be more projects in the future.”
”…”
Everyone was speechless.
Listen to what he said,
Just filling flesh and blood?
Although this is not wrong, isn’t this flesh and blood a bit too much?
Also, overtime is not encouraged because there will be more projects in the future? Which boss would encourage employees like this?
I can only say that working with a big boss in a first-class company is so stressful.
However, the biggest problem for people who work with Kang Chi is actually to keep up with his pace, which is very stressful. But if you can handle this pressure properly, everything else will be great, especially in terms of treatment. They don’t have to worry about being underpaid. Instead, they often feel that the boss pays too much and they feel more stressed…
But as the saying goes, there is motivation only when there is pressure, and the treatment of Dahan Xinye can also relieve their worries about life pressure.
Under the leadership of the new helmsman Wang Haowen, and the concerted efforts of more than 1,000 employees, in just one month, Dahan Xinye’s chip yield rate increased from 60% to 82%, directly passing the running-in period and entering the profit stage.
At the same time, several other projects also progressed in parallel. Longcheng Feijiang successfully completed the manufacture of the mask plate and successfully taped out the chip, and began to manufacture chips for Pengcheng’s super server.
Kang Chi saw that the time was ripe, so he waved his hand and decided to expand another production line with four photolithography machines.
Once the expansion of this production line is completed, Dahan Xinye’s high-end chip production capacity will directly rank first among China’s wafer factories.
However, this production line also does not accept foundry business, but continues to be responsible for processing internal orders, especially for the future official launch of the cloud service supercomputing plan, to prepare in advance.
