Chapter 283 Lonely Lin Benjian



Chapter 283 Lonely Lin Benjian

Lin Benjian's life as general manager of the branch was not very satisfactory.

He has worked at IBM for so many years and has always felt that this job is very stable and interesting and can be done for a lifetime.

But recently he has changed his mind.

Because of the "Weiying Route Dispute", his relationship with the entire group became sparky.

The key research process of photolithography is to control the photolithography process of the entire semiconductor, which determines the size of the chip and recommends key technologies for chip upgrades.

At this time, the chip industry, including IBM, is fully committed to researching dry methods or X-ray lithography.

Except for Lin Benjian, he firmly believes that ultraviolet light is the best breakthrough point.

Only then did he discover that being sent to the branch was not a promotion, but rather a move out of the core R&D position.

My life in the branch was very unsatisfactory, and it was equivalent to "exile".

The persistent Lin Benjian once begged his boss to give him more R&D funds:

"As long as I give the X-ray department one-tenth of the funds, I can produce results that are ten times better than theirs!"

The result attracted contempt from the boss:

"Our opponents are all advancing X-ray, and we cannot fall behind."

Every time there is a technical staff meeting, on one side is the X-ray department with countless elites, and on the other side is the lonely Lin Benjian.

"Obviously I am right, why is my boss unwilling to support me?

X-ray operation is difficult, and accidents happen easily. The upper limit is low. Why doesn’t anyone trust me? "

But he doesn't feel like he's alone because he has a pen pal who's also in the semiconductor industry.

The two often exchange insights via email.

With this thought in mind, he opened his e-mail, and sure enough he found a letter from Qiu Mingxiang in the mailbox.

The first sentence that catches my eye is:

"Ben Jian, in the face of your troubles, what I want to say is that I was incompatible with others when I was in college at Stanford, because I could always put forward different opinions from them. I would not expect them to recognize me, I would just Hang out with people who approve of me.

After graduation, the same thing happened. I returned to my motherland and joined my best friend Wang Lei, who is now my boss.

It turns out I was right..."

"I have a motto for you in life: dream impossible dreams, fight undefeated enemies, and endure unbearable sorrows!"

After seeing this sentence, Lin Benjian murmured to himself, feeling more and more that it was time to leave IBM.

The mountains don't turn and the water turns.

Lin Benjian finally decided to leave IBM.

This was the company he had worked for for more than 20 years, but once he decided to leave, he started writing his resignation letter non-stop.

What chilled him was that the boss agreed to his application without any hesitation.

Looking at the cabinet full of certificates, awards, and a pile of documents left behind when applying for a patent, Lin Benjian sighed deeply.

There was no farewell party, no department dinner, and no one even came to see him off.

Lin Benzian walked out of the company door alone, holding the cardboard box.

Just when he was stunned, the beeping sound of a car woke him up.

"Mr. Lin Benjian?"

"Who are you?"

He looked warily at the man in a suit whose face was full of flesh and whose buttons were about to explode, but after seeing the man's complexion, he felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy.

"My name is Liu Hu. I am the driver and bodyguard of boss Wang Lei. When he found out that you were leaving your job today, he asked me to pick you up."

"Wang Lei? The boss of Peninsula Technology, how did he know that I resigned?"

Liu Hu smiled and said:

"There is nothing in the world that my boss doesn't know."

"Mr. Lin, please get in the car. I, Liu Hu, am a rough man, but I also understand that there is no place for people here, and there is a place for people."

Lin Benjian nodded:

"What you said makes sense, please give me a ride."

Liu Hu got in the car and realized that this car was not an ordinary low-key luxury car.

"Is this Boss Wang's car?"

"Yes, he told me to entertain you well.

In order to entertain you, he specially asked the butler to open the Maotai that he has treasured for many years. "

Lin Benjian was still a little uncomfortable with such courtesy.

As a dragonborn, who wouldn't know the name of Third Young Master Wang? With his wealth and status, there is no need to please him, an ordinary technician.

This kind of attention has never been given to me by IBM who has worked for half my life.

After Liu Hu drove into the wealthy area of ​​Manhattan, New York, the car stopped in front of a manor.

Manhattan, with its many high-rise buildings, actually has such a hidden mansion.

Walking through the park, Lin Benjian finally met Wang Lei himself.

He was chatting and laughing with a young man with a Bay Island accent.

"Mr. Lin, come here quickly. Let me introduce you. This is Yang Zhiyuan, half of my junior class. He gave up his studies at Stanford and now opens his own search engine company in Silicon Valley."

"Zhiyuan, nice to meet you, I am..."

"I know, I know, you are an expert in the micro-film industry, please take a seat, please take a seat."

Yang Zhiyuan likes to make friends by nature. He thrives in the student union and is famous for being sociable.

"Ben Jian, I know you are unhappy, so I hired Zhiyuan, who can liven up the atmosphere, to accompany you. Let's forget all the unhappiness today. We won't go home until we get drunk today!"

Lin Benjian was moved and said worriedly:

"I haven't told my family yet."

"Don't worry, I've informed my sister-in-law, and she will allow you to indulge for a day."

Lin Benjian raised his glass. Although there was no farewell party, the new boss personally took care of him, and there was no trace of regret in his heart.

……

A few days later, New York airport.

"Boss, there's no need to send it off any more. You can go back and rest."

Lin Benjian looked embarrassed, because Wang Lei sent him off again and again, from home to the boarding gate, so he had to send him to the port city himself.

"It's okay, I'm all alone."

It wasn't until Wang Lei watched his private plane take off and fly to the port city that he breathed a sigh of relief.

Talents are rare, and geniuses are even rarer.

The reason why he watched so closely was because he was afraid that Lin Benjian would be abducted by TSMC.

Byers of Peninsula Technology has encountered a technical bottleneck in the research and development of photolithography machines.

Wang Lei pinned all his hopes on Lin Benjian.

I hope his arrival will bring some good changes to Peninsula Technology.

IBM didn't even realize that by letting Lin Benjian go, they missed an opportunity to lead technology again.

They didn't realize at all that Lin Benjian would subvert the entire lithography machine industry.

Many years later, Peninsula developed the next generation of photolithography machines, and IBM still has people using X-rays to produce 250-nanometer processes.

Because the technology was seriously lagging behind and unable to be mass-produced, this technology had to be abandoned.

On the other hand, the news of ASML's issuance of new directional shares immediately shocked the entire investment community.

In an interview with the financial newspaper Fortune, Smit announced that it would issue 1000 million new shares in a targeted manner.

"The research and development of 157nm dry lithography machine has reached a critical moment. As long as the research and development is successful, ASML will no longer be unbeatable!"

His words made the entire semiconductor industry turn their attention to ASML, eager to get a piece of the pie.

Nowadays, in the bull market of technology stocks, almost all the famous big capitals have joined in this pursuit.
