Chapter 795 Overtime

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Liu Hai and his family reunited, and then Liu Hai gave New Year's money to everyone.

He gave 10 yuan to everyone, but his granddaughter got an extra piece of top-quality Hetian jade.

The price of top-quality Hetian jade is already soaring.

Jade has not seen much growth yet. In fact, Hetian jade has never been cheap. Just look at the idioms about jade.

The little one can't see far now, and she is sleepy. Liu Hai is so happy that his mouth can't close when he looks at his granddaughter who changes every day.

She is no longer wrinkled like she was at the beginning, and she is getting more and more beautiful.

When Liu Hai was holding his granddaughter at home, Ni Nan was being scolded by his lover.

"Don't you know how to go to the boss's house?"

"The boss has given you such a heavy burden and so much money."

Ni Nan was wearing glasses and reading something. Hearing this, he said, "The boss is interested in my skills, not my flattery?"

"Why are you so harsh? The boss is interested in your skills, but you are the only one with skills?"

"I think I can complete the task assigned to me by the boss."

"I can't explain it to you clearly. Don't get in the way here."

"Then I'll go to the laboratory to take a look."

"Go, go quickly."

Then Ni Nan packed up and went to the laboratory. When he arrived at the laboratory, Ni Nan was relieved.

It's just right that I don't have to deal with those relatives at home. This one wants an introducer to join the company, and that one wants an introducer to join the company, but they don't even look at what their children's grades are like.

I've heard that the company's salary is high, but the skills must be in place.

It's much better to deal with the technical people in the company. Everyone can speak frankly.

Last year, I rejected several relatives, and they became enemies in the end. They spread rumors everywhere about giving gifts to me, and I don't want you to give gifts.

The atmosphere in the company is very good, especially the academic atmosphere. The boss who flatters others is not liked by the boss, and he himself is not liked by the boss.

Ni Nan also hates people who complain before they have done something.

The more technical people in the company are the more low-key, and the more they are paid, the more afraid others are to know how much they are paid.

On the contrary, those who don’t get paid are as arrogant as if they are paid 2.58 million.

If these people are not technically competent, they will be assigned to some outsourced work later.

Although Fenghuo Technology Laboratory does not seem to have a hierarchy on the surface, it actually has strict assessment requirements from the bottom to the top.

Everyone has the opportunity to work on projects, and in the process of working on projects, they are judged by their management of the projects and their thinking on the projects.

If you do a good job on several small projects in succession, you will do a slightly larger project.

Those who are screened out step by step in this way and can be responsible for a large project are all great people.

In the afternoon, my wife called again to ask if I would go home for dinner?

Ni Nan's first question was: "Are there any relatives?"

The angry wife hung up the phone, so Ni Nan simply didn't go back. It's not that all relatives have a purpose, but these relatives will ask questions.

What kind of work can make so much money in a year? And where does your boss get so much money?

Chatting with relatives feels more complicated than holding a technical discussion.

The main reason is that people who are engaged in technology don't pay attention to these other things, and sometimes they don't think too much when answering questions.

For example, last year a relative asked me why I could make so much money?

Ni Nan said that the boss said I have the ability and make so much money.

As a result, the relative got angry and said that he was mocking him for being incompetent and getting a low salary.

There are also some acquaintances or people who are not related at all. When they meet, they ask about the company's affairs and ask if the company needs office desks and chairs? Do you need test consumables?

When Liu Hai heard that Ni Nan went to work overtime on the second day of the Chinese New Year, he was also muttering in his heart, and called him in the evening.

"Old Ni, you came to the lab on the second day of the Chinese New Year. Does your wife have any objections?" Liu Hai asked directly.

"Boss, my wife asked me to come."

"Did you make your wife angry again at home?" Liu Hai heard this and thought that something might have happened again.

"No."

"I should take a break during the Chinese New Year."

"I think the lab is good."

"Okay then." Liu Hai couldn't say anything after hearing this.

But after thinking about it, Liu Hai called the factory. The motorcycle factory has a night shift and a chef is preparing dinner for the evening.

The reason why Liu Hai asked the motorcycle factory cafeteria to do this is because of safety. It is strictly forbidden to bring food and alcohol from outside in Fenghuo Technology Company.

The company's reputation is so loud now, there must be someone who wants to make trouble secretly.

Even water cannot be brought from home, and the same goes for tea.

If tea is allowed, will there be problems with the tea that some people bring?

Fenghuo Technology Company also has a night snack cafeteria at night, but the ingredients here are not as much and abundant as those prepared by the motorcycle factory. After all, the motorcycle factory is a large factory with more than 100,000 people.

It can be said that the ingredients prepared are tons, at least hundreds of kinds, various vegetables, various meats, various chickens, ducks, fishes, shrimps, etc.

After 11 o'clock, Ni Nan received a call from Liu Hai, saying that the prepared midnight snacks had been delivered.

When Ni Nan arrived at the door of the company, he found that a refrigerated truck had arrived outside, which could actually keep fresh.

Then the cafeteria was filled with plates of various dishes.

Liu Hai did not come to the laboratory in person. Liu Hai rarely showed up in the laboratory. Only some of the top researchers in the laboratory knew Liu Hai.

What we eat is a buffet, including shrimps, fish, crabs, king crabs, and of course dumplings.

King crabs are a bit popular. The main reason why they are so expensive is that fishing is restricted and there is only a certain quota every year.

There are also some imported wines.

"The boss said that everyone has worked hard. This is what the boss has prepared for everyone. Eat and drink well and go to bed early." Ni Nan didn't know what to say, so after saying that, he quickly went to get the plates and eat at the buffet.

The other technical people nodded, and then stared at the plates to see which one to eat first, and then eat.

"Mr. Ni, how do you divide these king crabs?"

"One for each person."

"Then can I take it home and eat it now?"

"Okay, you can take any drinks you like, and there are five river crabs per person."

"Where are the dumplings?"

"How narrow-minded do you have to be to bring dumplings home?"

"These are dumplings from the motorcycle factory. Look at the top of this plate."

"Is there one roast chicken per person?"

"There's also one roast chicken for each person."

"Wow, this is the legendary motorcycle factory roast chicken."

"It does look different from the ones sold outside. It seems to be smaller in size."

"They were raised naturally."

"I heard that the raw materials for roast chicken purchased by the motorcycle factory are ordered from farmers in remote areas and are not from farms."

"Our boss is so energetic, he can actually produce so many good things from the motorcycle factory."

So these people who worked overtime stopped eating here. Ni Nan saw that this was not a good idea, so he quickly grabbed a king crab, a roast chicken, a bottle of Maotai wine, and filled half a bag of dumplings, and then went home.

At 11:30, those who work overtime will get off work, except for some experiments that require all-night duty.

Ni Nan opened the door and returned home, where he found relatives playing mahjong and his children playing games on the TV.

"You still know how to come back?" Ni Nan's lover said angrily while touching the cards.

"The boss is adding dinner tonight, so I will wait until this time to come back."

"Wow, king crab!" The child playing the game had already seen a big crab.

"What do you call king crab?" Several people playing cards also stood up and saw it curiously.

"This is a kind of rock crab imported from abroad that grows in cold sea areas." Technician Ni Nan made the mistake again.

"It is said that one is sold for 888 yuan in a Western restaurant." Ni Nan's lover spoke in an easy-to-understand manner.

"Ouch, it's so expensive!" The card players were surprised when they heard this.

"It takes a plane to get it alive, so it's very expensive."

"Last year our old man brought one of these. It was delicious. It is said that there is a limited supply in Western restaurants."

"You all have a taste."

"Didn't such a big crab become a crab spirit?"

"Hey, don't say 888. Even if it's 88, I'm willing to work overtime." The three mahjong players looked at the giant crab.

Ni Nan's lover skillfully took out a pair of scissors and cut with a click.

Then he took chopsticks and taught everyone how to eat the meat inside the crab legs.

"too delicious."

"that is."

"How dare you catch such a big crab!"

Ni Nan's lover couldn't close his mouth when he heard the relatives' praise.

As for the roast chicken, it had long been put aside by Ni Nan's sharp-eyed lover.

Most employees of other FiberHome technology companies live in elevator rooms provided by the company.

Those who didn’t work overtime heard that the late-night snacks served during overtime included king crab and grilled chicken from the motorcycle factory.

My wife even complained that the number of imported king crabs is limited, after all, they are imported with foreign currency.

If you usually want to go to a Western restaurant, you have to make a reservation.

Roast chicken from a motorcycle factory is even more rare. It is difficult to get it except for employees inside the motorcycle factory.

So on the third day of the Lunar New Year, FiberHome Technology Company was almost full and worked overtime.

Of course, Liu Hai did not disappoint everyone in the evening. For the same late-night snack arrangement, tonight's roast chicken will be replaced by roast duck.

Liu Hai also went to work on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. He first went to the motorcycle factory to say hello to Sun Aiguo.

Then Liu Hai came to FiberHome Technology Company.

"Thank you, boss." Ni Nan thanked Liu Hai first when he saw Liu Hai. Liu Hai came from the office and the laboratory was in another place. Of course, Liu Hai came up from the underground parking lot.

"After all, I made the profit. After all, you are all working for me." Liu Hai chuckled.

"Boss, the Loongson third-generation chip test is going smoothly."

"Very good." Liu Hai nodded.

"How about the research on the direction of photolithography machine masks?" Liu Hai asked. The photolithography machine mask technology is an important technology in the development milestone of photolithography machines. This technology was historically used by ASML in the Netherlands in 1990.

The mask of the photolithography machine carries the design pattern, and the light passes through it and transmits the design pattern onto the photoresist.

In a projection lithography machine, the mask is an optical element located between the converging lens and the projection lens and does not have direct contact with the wafer.

The pattern on the mask is reduced by 4 to 10 times and then transmitted on the wafer surface. This process is similar to the negative function of a traditional camera, where the pattern is transferred from the mask to the substrate through an exposure process.

"We are organizing human and material resources to conduct public relations for this technology, because there are many things involved." Ni Nan answered when he heard Liu Hai asking about this technology.

"I think the refractive index problem of the lithography machine can be solved by liquid, such as water, which is also a research direction." The refractive index problem of the lithography machine mentioned by Liu Hai is also the key technology that ASML of the Netherlands defeated the small notebook later.

In the mid-1990s, the giant of lithography machines was not ASML, but Nikon and Canon, just because ASML solved the problem of laser refractive index first, it was half a year ahead of schedule.

But in just half a year, ASML completely left Nikon and Canon behind.

"Boss, this is really a genius idea." Ni Nan's eyes lit up, because some scientists have asserted that the chip can only achieve a highest precision because of the problem of light refractive index.

"I also thought of it after reading some things recently. This experiment must be top secret." Liu Hai laughed and answered.

Standing on the shoulders of giants has this advantage. The development direction of lithography machines is already in our hands. We don't need to develop blindly like other lithography machine companies.

There are several directions in the history of lithography machines, and many have been eliminated at each stage.

The lithography machine research and development company has also invested heavily in various aspects, and finally chose the right direction, and we don't need extra investment at all.

"How is computer production now?"

"Supply exceeds demand. The boss's prediction is very accurate. Now there are 50,000 orders for computer production, but the market for bald eagle has never been opened."

"The market for bald eagle will be treated as non-existent in the future." Liu Hai certainly knows how powerful the influence of computer companies such as IBM and Texas Instruments is within the bald eagle.

As long as we can grab other markets, it will be fine. Now we sell one computer, and Apple and IBM will sell one less.

"Motorola wants to be the agent of our computers and sell them in Lijiapo, Xiaobenzi and Xiaobangzi."

"But they still want to change their brand, and the higher authorities are discussing this matter."

When Liu Hai heard this, he thought, isn't this OEM? "You can suggest that the higher authorities agree."

OEM is OEM, as long as we can occupy the market, and our profit from computers is still relatively high.

It seems that Motorola has tasted the sweetness.

"The domestic demand for computers this year is also not small."

"But I think some unimportant departments in China can be equipped with computers later. At most, by the end of next year, our new generation of computers will come out again." Ni Nan said.

"Let's not worry about the domestic situation. Let them arrange it as they please. Besides, the parts in our computers can be disassembled and can be used to make other things." Liu Hai didn't want to go into the details of this matter.

It doesn't matter who the funds are used for. Giving them to computers can further speed up the development of semiconductors, and it is also a good thing to allow the domestic market to get in touch with computers earlier.
