From high-speed growth to high-quality development is a distinctive feature of China's economic development in the new era. High-quality development reflects the development of new development concepts. It is based on the principle of quality first and efficiency first. Advanced manufacturing is the most innovative in manufacturing. Active and most fruitful fields are also high-profit and high-value-added fields in the value chain. In the process of building a strong manufacturing country, we must closely follow the requirements of high-quality development, and accelerate the development of advanced manufacturing as a strategic task. To achieve the transformation of China's manufacturing industry into China, China's speed has changed to China's quality, and manufacturing power has changed to a manufacturing powerhouse.
I. Accelerating the development of advanced manufacturing is an inevitable choice for achieving high quality development
Advanced manufacturing not only includes new modes of new industries and new formats that are triggered by new technologies, but also includes the use of advanced and applicable technologies, processes, processes, materials, and management to transform and upgrade traditional industries. Accelerating the development of advanced manufacturing is an important step in achieving the transformation of development methods. Grasping hands is an important way to solve the problem of unbalanced development, and it is also an important support for the construction of a modern economic system. The key to accelerating the development of advanced manufacturing is to implement high quality development requirements in China's manufacturing industry.
Accelerating the development of advanced manufacturing is an important step in achieving the transformation of the development mode. Advanced manufacturing has advanced technology, knowledge-intensive, large added value, good growth, and strong driving characteristics. Studies have shown that the United States in the advanced manufacturing industry per capita Output is twice that of non-advanced manufacturing industries. Each advanced manufacturing job can drive 3.5 jobs in the supply chain. Currently, China's economic development has entered a new normal, and the cost advantage of supporting rapid growth in manufacturing is weakening. Energy resources With the constant tightening of environmental constraints, the traditional mode of extensive development is difficult to sustain. Economic development must rely more on technological advancement and improvement of the quality of laborers, and continuously increase total factor productivity. Accelerating the development of advanced manufacturing industries and increasing the proportion of advanced production capacity can promote manufacturing. The industry jumped to the mid-to-high end of the value chain, promoted the transformation of the development model to the direction of green intensive, and achieved a fundamental transformation of the development approach.
Accelerating the development of advanced manufacturing is an important way to solve the problem of inadequate development imbalance. The structural contradictions in the manufacturing sector in China are mainly manifested in the low-end oversupply and high-end supply shortages. In a number of industries with serious excess production capacity, a large number of key equipment, The core technology, high-end products can not meet the demand. Supply structure still does not meet the new changes in demand, the industry as a whole is in the low-end of the value chain. For example, in recent years, Chinese consumers have purchased rice cookers and other products overseas. These products are fully capable of domestic production. The output is still high. Why does this happen? The key is that our products still have a big gap with foreign high-end products in terms of quality and brand. Advanced manufacturing not only reflects advanced technology in products, but also reflects advanced production. Models and management methods. The development of advanced manufacturing can strengthen the leading role of innovation, optimize the allocation of factors, increase the value of quality brands, expand effective and mid- to high-end supply, increase the quality and efficiency of the supply system, and solve the problem of inadequate development imbalance. Meet the growing needs of the people for a better life.
Accelerating the development of advanced manufacturing is an important support for the construction of a modern economic system. The country is strong and the economic system must be strong. To build a modern economic system, we must focus our efforts on developing the economy on the real economy. Historical experience shows that the economies of big countries must rely on the real economy. The core of the real economy is the manufacturing industry. The gradual progress of the manufacturing industry from the low end to the mid-to-high end is the fundamental force supporting the realization of the industrialization and modernization of the major countries' economies. Accelerating the development of advanced manufacturing industries can promote the real economy, technological innovation, and modern finance. The coordinated development of human resources will better respond to the trend of modernization and win the initiative of international competition, and provide strong support for economic development, improvement of people’s lives, participation in international competition and safeguarding national defense security.
Second, accurately grasp the new situation of China's advanced manufacturing development
At present, China’s economy is undergoing a process of transforming development, optimizing economic structure and transforming the growth momentum. A new round of science and technology and industrial revolutions have formed a historical convergence with China’s accelerated transformation of economic development patterns. The development environment of China’s advanced manufacturing industry has become more complex. Needs scientific analysis and accurate grasp of the new situation.
Our country’s advanced manufacturing industry has made positive progress. Since the Party’s 18th National Congress, China’s manufacturing industry has steadily increased its overall strength and international competitiveness. The position of the world's largest manufacturing country has been further consolidated. Especially since the implementation of the strategy for building a strong nation, The whole society pays attention to the manufacturing industry and cares about the manufacturing environment. The advanced manufacturing industry has made positive progress. The innovative achievements have continued to emerge, and a number of landmark achievements have been achieved in integrated circuits, new energy vehicles, large aircraft, new materials, and mobile communications. Manufacturing innovation has taken priority from follow-up, and it has been accelerating to follow-up, and has been running at a new stage. The upgrading of traditional industries has been continuously strengthened, and product technology, process equipment, and energy efficiency have all been raised; Variety, improve quality, create a brand of 'Three Goods' strategy in-depth implementation, quality brand efficiency has improved significantly. Manufacturing manufacturing mode has undergone profound changes, smart manufacturing has advanced further, and service-oriented manufacturing has developed rapidly in all industries. Smartphones, drones, mobile payments The rapid development of new modes of new industries based on modern information technologies has brought forth a number of dynamic and competitive In 2017, the added value of China’s high-tech manufacturing industry increased by 13.4% year-on-year, faster than that of industries above designated size by 6.8 percentage points; the growth rate of electronics manufacturing, equipment manufacturing industry reached 13.8% and 10.7%, respectively, which together pulled the entire industry. 3.2% increase.
China's advanced manufacturing industry faces a rare historical opportunity. At present, new generations of information technologies, new materials technologies, and new energy technologies are driving group technological breakthroughs. New forms of business organizations and business models are emerging. Especially the new generation of information technology and advanced manufacturing. The deep integration of technology, flexible manufacturing, network manufacturing, and intelligent manufacturing are increasingly becoming important directions for the development of global manufacturing. Taking intelligent manufacturing as an example, according to preliminary statistics, the efficiency of China's smart manufacturing pilot demonstration projects is compared before and after the intelligent transformation, and the production efficiency is increased by an average of 30%. In the above, operating costs have been reduced by an average of 20%. China is a large manufacturing country and a major Internet country. It has a complete industrial system, a solid manufacturing base, and a huge domestic market that absorbs new technologies. It has achieved certain breakthroughs in emerging technologies and industries. It has favorable conditions to seize this opportunity for the technological and industrial revolution. Facing the historical opportunities, we must follow the trend, deploy forward-looking, strengthen strategic planning and overall coordination, promote the deep integration of Internet, big data, artificial intelligence and manufacturing, and promote advanced technology. The rapid and healthy development of the manufacturing industry.
Cultivating and developing advanced manufacturing industry is a long way to go. It should be noted that compared with the requirements of building a manufacturing power, compared with the level of development of developed countries, the task of cultivating and developing advanced manufacturing industries in China is quite arduous. On the one hand, the manufacturing innovation system is not There are still a lot of shortcomings in the sound industrial base. Enterprises have low R&D investment and weak innovation capabilities. The product quality is not high, and there are no world-renowned brands. The company's global operating capacity is insufficient. The advanced manufacturing environment needs to be optimized. The overall cost burden is heavy, the shortage of high-end talents and high-skilled talents is high, and the tendency of funding is becoming more prominent. On the other hand, the international competition in the advanced manufacturing industry is becoming more intense. After the international financial crisis, the world’s major developed countries They have implemented the 'reindustrialization' strategy and continued to increase their efforts to promote the development of their own manufacturing industries. Whether it is the 'Advanced Manufacturing' that highlights the advantages of innovation in the United States, Germany highlights the 'Industrial 4.0' of smart manufacturing, or the UK emphasizes 'Manufacturing + Service Industry' 'High-value manufacturing' and the 'next-generation manufacturing' based on big data in Japan are not the same. The core is through the development of advanced manufacturing industries, to seize the commanding heights of industrial development. Foreign multinational companies are also actively using the global production network and organizational model, with core technology and professional services firmly control the high-end aspects of the value chain, China's advanced manufacturing industry is facing The risk of being 'low-end locked'.
Third, Concentrate on Promoting Advance Manufacturing Development
Rejuvenating the manufacturing industry, especially the advanced manufacturing industry, is the key to realizing a virtuous circle in the short term. In the long run, it is the lifeline of the country’s economy. To regard the development of advanced manufacturing as a long-term strategic task and the supply-side structural reform as the main line, implementation must be implemented. 'Made in China 2025' as the starting point, strengthen innovation-driven, reform drive, integration drive, promote quality change, efficiency change, power change, accelerate the rapid development of China's manufacturing from high-speed growth to high-quality development.
Seize a key. Innovation is the main engine of advanced manufacturing, and it is also the key to achieving high-quality development of the manufacturing industry. It should be guided by the industrialization and application of advanced technologies, and promote the industrial chain, innovation chain, capital chain, and policy chain to support each other. To create an efficient and three-dimensional manufacturing innovation system. At present, we must focus on the construction of a manufacturing innovation center, face the key common technologies of the industry, solve common problems such as special equipment, materials, and processes that are reflected in the industry, and leapfrog technological achievements in engineering and industrialization. The 'Death Valley' focused on the strategic, leading, and basic requirements, strengthened the overall layout of the nation's manufacturing innovation center, identified common technology R&D positioning, focused on enterprises, and integrated production, education and research. The construction of technological innovation mechanism will enhance the ability of radiation promotion of the transformation and transfer of scientific and technological achievements, strengthen the business model innovation based on the development of self-hematopoietic circulation, and form a construction pattern with clear subdivisional areas, regional competition and cooperation, and development from top to bottom.
The implementation of two ideas. To advance the development of advanced manufacturing, we must persist in strengthening and increasing the volume of both products. On the one hand, bigger and stronger emerging industries. Focus on large aircraft, aero-engines and gas turbines, integrated circuits, new materials, Innovation breakthroughs in new energy vehicles, 5G and other key areas. Strengthen planning and policy guidance, encourage new innovations in new technologies and new formats, and tolerate prudent supervisory models. On a solid foundation, master key technologies and work hard to promote major technological breakthroughs and associated technology upgrades. , To create a number of new industrial clusters and leading enterprises. On the other hand, to transform and upgrade traditional industries. There are no backward industries, only backward technologies. To fully utilize the advantages of traditional industries, and to guide enterprises to actively develop new products, Continuously improve product performance, continue to improve production processes, achieve high-quality manufacturing, and better adapt and lead consumer demand. Focus on deepening the integration of manufacturing and the Internet, and support enterprises to accelerate digitalization, networking, intelligent transformation, and vigorously develop personalization. Customization, Networked Collaboration, Cloud Manufacturing, Promoting New Types of Era in the Digital Economy Era ability.
Promote the three major reforms. Quality change, efficiency change, and power change are the fundamental requirements for accelerating the development of advanced manufacturing. With quality change as the core, efforts are made to optimize the industrial supply structure. Efforts will be made to improve the quality of factor inputs, improve overall product supply quality, and steadily improve the industry. Develop quality and promote the development of China's manufacturing industry to the mid-to-high end of the global value chain. Guide the deployment of major productive forces in advanced manufacturing, build high-quality “Made in China 2025” state-level demonstration zones, and accelerate the construction of world-class advanced manufacturing clusters. Targeting efficiency changes , Efforts to change the mode of industrial development. Improve labor productivity, develop new manufacturing models such as smart manufacturing, green manufacturing, and service-based manufacturing. Improve resource allocation efficiency, speed up the market-oriented configuration reform of land, capital, and energy, strengthen data, information, Supporting new elements such as knowledge, lowering the operating costs of the real economy. Emphasizing the transformation of power and focusing on cultivating new momentum for industrial development. Establishing and improving the national manufacturing innovation system, deploying innovation chains around the industrial chain, deploying capital chains around the innovation chain, and promoting technology The innovative results are truly implemented in the industry On.
Strengthen four guarantees: Strengthen market protection, implement a negative list system, establish a transparent and fair market access system, improve the industry standard system, promote the orderly opening of the monopoly industry, promote equal competition among market players, and ensure the survival of the fittest. Strengthen capital protection, and innovate investment and financing The mechanism will give full play to the guidance and leverage of fiscal funds, strengthen the ability of financial services to serve the real economy, broaden financing channels for advanced manufacturing, and form a joint force to promote the development of advanced manufacturing industries. Strengthen the protection of talents, improve the multi-level talent training system, and strengthen technology Skilled personnel and entrepreneurial team construction, implementation of professional and technical personnel knowledge update project and advanced manufacturing excellence engineer training program, to attract domestic and foreign manufacturing professionals, especially leading talents to join the advanced manufacturing development.

3. Bitland's 'Most Powerful' Ethereum Mine Opportunity Cold Industry competition entering the next city?
Digital currency analyst Xiao Lei told the Daily Economic News reporter that Ethereum had taken a lot of measures to prevent miners from having too much say. However, it seems that if the market continues, such as the E3 mining machine, It will be sooner or later that the emergence of such products will be as soon as possible, as long as the market has a space of interest, some people will study how to improve the mining efficiency. Each reporter Liu Ling is edited by Ren Ni
Earlier, there was news of the 'coin circle', Bit Continental will release an Ethereum Profession Mining Machine that will break the mining algorithm of 'anti-ASIC' (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) in Ethereum's own design. The 180MH hash rate is known as 'the world's most powerful and efficient EtHash miner'.
On April 3, the rumors became a reality. Bitland announced that it will release an ASIC mining chip for the Ethereum trade process and agreement award. The mining machine equipped with this chip was named Antminer E3.
However, the so-called 'highest efficiency in history' of the Ethereum mining machine has not been buoyed by miners and miners. The sale is cold. In addition, Ethereum has always been the world of the video card mining machine. Bitland will release the Ethereum mining machine. As soon as the news came out, the Ether community appeared to call for a boycott of the Bitland ASIC mining machine.
The ant E3 is cold
According to the bit continental information, the ant E3 has a hash rate of 180 MH/s. Although the power is not too high, the power consumption is only 800 W, and the price is 800 US dollars (approximately 5,000 yuan), which is equivalent to an overclocking frequency. A good RX570 card mining machine, and an RX570 mining machine price is about 1.6 million. Comparison of the two prices, ant E3 cost-effective.
Bitland once said that in order to ensure that buyers from around the world can purchase this batch of ants E3, set a quota for one mining machine per account and accept only bitcoin cash and US dollars. In addition, ant E3 is not sold in the mainland, nor Support the shipping address of Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan. At present, the batch of machines is not ready yet. It is planned to complete the shipment between July 16th and 31st, 2018.
However, the virtual currency experienced a sharp decline before years ago. Market sentiment has not yet been restored. Mineral dealers with excessive blood loss are all waiting and seeing. They dare not take the initiative when market conditions are uncertain, and the pre-sale situation is far from Bit Continental’s. It is expected that the sale of the second sale will no longer be on sale.
In this situation, Bitland opened up the sale in Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan, and adjusted the number of miners that can be purchased in each account to 5. However, the reporter learned that this measure has had little effect on Bitcoin. According to the reporter, 'There are very few people who make payment in full in this mine. I have set 5 on the official website but have not paid for it. Orders are valid within three days after the order is placed; Then pay. '
A Cheng, a mining machine salesman at SEG Plaza, told reporters that before the Bitcoin official's online pre-sale mine machine, payment was generally required within 24 hours after the order was placed. Expired orders were invalid. Today, Bit Continental has extended the payment period to three days. The sales of mining machinery are not very optimistic. In the SEG Plaza, the mining machine manufacturers have not discussed the mining machine much. In July, the uncertainty was too great.
Trying to break into the ether community
Analysts pointed out that ant E3 has small energy consumption and large profits. The efficiency of mining an ant E3 is 250% higher than that of conventional GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) mining. After the official launch, it is bound to impact the original. Card mining machine market.
In order to boycott the Bitcoin ASIC mining machine, Ethereum developer Piper Merriam submitted an EIP 958 (Etherside Improvement Protocol) in the Ethernet community to change the mining algorithm and make the Ethash ASIC miner incompatible with Ethernet networks. At the Ethereum Core Developers Conference on April 6, the proposal for EIP 958 was discussed. The number of proponents on Github reached 1,082, compared with 46 opponents.
In fact, the means to change the algorithm is not the first time. When Bitland launched the ASIC X3, an ASIC mining machine for digging Luo Luo coin, the Monroe community decisively announced: We will definitely resist the minerals of the Bit Continental through bifurcation. On the 25th, the Monroe Coin boycotted the hard forked version of the Bit-Continent ASIC miner. The Monroe community and the miners led by the Monroe coin leader jointly recognized the new chain. The new chain cannot be mined by the X3 miner.
Unlike Monroe, Vitalik Buterin (also known as V-God), the founder of Ethereum, prefers not to take any action. He says he is still hesitant to adopt this important and potentially confusing improvement. It is under the premise that Ethereum's long-term road map has been established – the consensus algorithm for the cryptocurrency will be transferred from PoW (Proof of Work) to PoS (Proof of Stake).
However, the developers participating in the meeting stated that if the community still insists on resisting the ASIC mining machine, they will still take action. However, at present, whether or not the core ASIC mining machine is boycotted, several core open-end positions are different. The same, so the attitude of the ether community remains to be seen.
For Ethereum's appeal to boycott the Ethereum special mining machine on the Bitland, how does BitContinent look? If Ethereum changes the algorithm, what measures will Bitland take? For this, the reporter contacted Bitland, but as of this writing, it has not yet returned. .
Xiao Ni, a digital currency analyst, told the Daily Economic News reporter that Ethereum has taken a lot of measures to prevent miners from having too much say. However, it seems that if the market continues, such as the E3 mining machine, It will be sooner or later that the emergence of such products will take place. As long as the market has room for profit, some people will study how to increase the efficiency of mining.
Market competition pattern will change?
At the beginning of the establishment of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto set 21 million Bitcoins, which would not be fully excavated until 2140. Now, it produces an average of 1800 pieces a day. Although Bitland produces Bitcoin, Litecoin and other mining machines, However, it is still mainly bitcoin mining machines. The data shows that currently the BitContinent holds 50% of Bitcoin's total network computing power.
The 'revelry' of virtual currencies in 2017 stimulated a large number of miner's demand, and also contributed to Bitland's operating profit exceeding Nvidia's 24 years of wealth myth in 4 years. Bitland's co-founder Jenke Group has publicly stated that the 2017 bit The mainland's operating income is about 2.5 billion US dollars (about 15.9 billion yuan).
However, as the number of Bitcoin to be mined decreases, the computing power increases exponentially, and the profitability of mining is getting lower and lower. In order to avoid the risk of 'putting eggs in the same basket', such as miners and other mining machine manufacturers It started to build a mining machine for Ethereum, the second largest digital currency, and tried to share a glass of Ethereum with a reduction in Bitcoin revenue.
In January last year, the price of Ethereum was only US$8. After the two major digital currency trading platforms, Huobi.com and OKCoin went on-line with Ethereum, their prices soared. In January 2018, they exceeded US$1,000. After that, Ethereum experienced The same bitcoin plunge until it fell below 600 US dollars, 450 US dollars. Reporter learned from the huobi PRO, as of April 16, the price of Ethereum is 502 US dollars, down 3.77% from the previous day.
Previously Bitland dominated the Bitcoin mining industry, and Ethereum made card makers make a big profit. According to Bernstein, an investment bank, sales of Ethernet mining machines accounted for AMD and 20% and 10% for Nvidia. Today, Bit Continental has launched a strong Ethereum professional mining machine. As early as the end of March, investment agency Susquehanna has lowered the price target for AMD and NVIDIA.
Whether the pattern of the chip market will change depends on whether or not the Ethernet community will change the algorithm. Xiao Lei believes that it depends on the specific future development of Ethereum. If Ethereum's algorithm turns into an equity proof method (ie PoS algorithm), then the miner The significance is very limited.
Xiao Lei mentioned that 'PoS mining' is a new type of mining method that has emerged in recent years. Compared to traditional PoW mining methods, PoS mining does not require additional acquisition of mining hardware equipment and does not require possession. A lot of computing resources, so the latter seems to have more advantages. Currently, what Ethere 2.0 implements is a hybrid mechanism of PoS+PoW. Its future plan is to switch all Ethereum mining mechanisms to PoS. Achieve, the mining machine will not have the significance of existence.

4. The new optoelectronic chip will increase the data center bandwidth by ten times;
Science and Technology Daily, Beijing, April 11 (Reporter Liu Xia) According to recent news from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) official website, Ayar Labs, the company's startup company, has combined optical and electronics technologies to develop faster and more efficient New optoelectronic chips are expected to increase computing speed, increase the bandwidth of large-scale data centers by 10 times, reduce the power consumption of chip-to-chip communications by 95%, and reduce total energy consumption by 30%-50%. It is reported that the latest commercial technology will be the first commercial product. Listed in 2019.
Ayar Labs' optoelectronic chips use light to transmit data, but still use electrons for calculations. This unique design approach enables fast and efficient photonic communication, and the use of lightwaves to transmit data elements into traditional computer chips, eliminating the need for inefficient copper. Wire. The company’s chief executive officer, Alex Wright-Gardstein, said: “Now, there is a bandwidth bottleneck in big data centers, and the birth of our products is just the right time.”
The researchers explained that data is constantly being transmitted between chips of different functions. If copper wires are used, even if the processing capability of the chip is increasing, the 'bottleneck' may be caused by limited data transmission on the wire. The chip must wait a long time to send and Receiving data. The optical wire can transmit multiple data signals with different wavelengths of light; and each copper wire can only transmit one signal, so the light chip can use less space to transmit more information. Moreover, the waste heat generated by photons is rarely , Copper wire transmission data will generate a lot of waste heat, loss of chip efficiency.
At present, many research teams are producing photonic chips. However, Ayar Labs has taken a different approach and developed a new class of miniature optical components including photodetectors, optical modulators, waveguides, and optical filters that can transmit light at different wavelengths. The information was encoded, transmitted and decoded. The researchers used a compact approach to integrate these optical devices onto the chip, resulting in new optoelectronic chips that eliminated the copper wire.
It is reported that the first product of this new technology is an optical input/output system called 'Brilliant', which is scheduled to be launched in 2019.
In addition to boosting bandwidth and reducing energy consumption, the editorial lap points can also be used in supercomputers that are closely linked to the data center, as well as in auto-driving cars, medical equipment, augmented reality, and many other optical fields. Designers originally sought to solve traditional silicon. There are bottlenecks in the chip, but in the end, to everyone's excitement, this technology has found a variety of uses. It will change the practicality of optics beyond what we can currently predict, and the use of optics all over the world. The way. Science and Technology Daily
5. What are the most boring companies in second and third-tier cities?
On March 28th, Wuxi held the 'Eastern Silicon Valley' Integrated Circuit Talent Development Strategy Summit Forum. IC Coffee Founder Mr. Hu Yunwang was invited to give a speech titled 'Nonsense' The Key Talent Needed by Chinese IC Design Firms, following content According to Mr. Hu’s speech, there are deletions and additions. Dear leaders, experts, Dear friends of IC industry, Good afternoon!
Let me introduce myself first. I started KT Talent in 2001 and focused on integrated high-tech talent hunting. We have accumulated more than 100,000 IC talent resources. In 2007, I went to various universities nationwide to do 'IC industry and career. Planning 'Publicity lectures, calling for more students to join the IC industry. At the end of 2011, they took the lead in planning IC Coffee. Together with nearly 300 enthusiastic executives from across the country's global IC industry chain, they jointly established the IC promotion industry platform for IC industry in China. I like to find people to drink coffee, chat, chat with 5000 chip people, heard stories of 100 IC startup companies. I do full-time IC industry services, entrepreneurship services and IC angels investment. I often talk about IC industry and IC entrepreneurship, is a As an outsider who shook the banner of the IC industry, I would like to ask a lot of people to correct the wrong place today!
Because of the manufacture of integrated circuits, equipment and materials are the most important thing that the country should focus on. The things that the country is focusing on don't get me to worry about it. Therefore, I only say that the problems in the IC design industry are based on talent issues and ecological issues.
Today this assembly is held in Wuxi, so let me talk about talented people in integrated circuit design companies in Wuxi. There are hundreds of large and small integrated circuit design companies in Wuxi. There are not many families that are bigger and stronger. Most of them are not big. Not strong. Why not strong? The main reason should be people's problems, the problem of the core layer of lameness. High-tech companies must develop on two legs in order to develop healthily. One is R&D innovation, and the other is market sales. Without a leg or a leg, the company cannot develop quickly. Today is an era in which healthy people must desperately run forward. Running with one leg is bound to lag behind or be eliminated. Naturally, it is impossible to do a great job.
There are two main types of 'leg companies':
The first type is the Wuxi local design enterprise represented by the work background of the Huajing Factory and the Huajing Bipolar Institute. What are the characteristics of companies with such a background? Most companies have a certain amount of sales, limited to the low-end The chip, which has a low gross margin, is closely related to the background of technology accumulation. Such companies are in great need of increasing returnees technical masters to join the core R&D team.
The bosses of such companies, of course, also want to find chip designers to join, but it is very difficult. First, many returnees look down on local companies, feel that they were high-educated masters of prestigious universities that year, and now their own technology is so cattle, not willing to Local bosses do their work; Second is the temptation of various current 'leadership' policies.
The 'leadership talent' policy is mainly aimed at overseas qualifications. For senior talents who have worked in large corporations around the world, there is a criterion that they have to serve as corporate legal persons and major shareholders, and they must obtain 30% or more of the shares. This is 'forcing'. Returnees will be bosses themselves! When the boss also has various names and interests, naturally he will not choose to work for a local company. If he is not a CEO and he is a technical director or CTO, he cannot comment on the 'leader' and he can't enjoy it. Related policies. So local companies in Wuxi want to find an overseas technology big cow to join, it is difficult!
The result of the Leading Talent program was: Zhang Fei and Guan Yu did not want to follow Liu Bei. They all went to comment on the 'leadership talent' when the CEO went. Zhuge Liang also said to Liu Bei' I'm sorry, ah my husband, I want to take back my Longzhong right, I have to take it to start my own business, to be my own CEO, and let others call me my father.
Due to the guiding conditions of the 'Leadership' policy, overseas technical talents are the CEOs, but technical masters are not equal to masters of management. The proportion of successful CEOs who are directly transitioning to management and becoming CEOs is actually not high. The masters of technical experts are experts. , Deep, spelling is IQ and technical experience; CEO pays attention to the wide, multi, fast, exactly is a large number of contacts, resources, fast response, fight is emotional intelligence and financial intelligence and management wisdom and business experience. Wuxi's example, Wuxi's college entrance examination scholar in one year, went to the United States to read a very bullish school, worked in top US companies for many years, returned to Wuxi to start a company, and a state-owned investment company also invested in this project. As a result, the company operated Very bad, this state-owned investment company is very big. Facts prove that he is not suitable for the CEO, CTO may be more suitable for it.
I think that only a small number of returnees can successfully transform into CEOs. Most of the technical masters are enough to be CTOs of R&D directors, and they are only suitable as chief scientists and not suitable as CEOs.
The second category is the returnees attracted by policies such as the 530. Most of them are created by chip design seniors who are returning to China and can make products with good performance. However, most of the company's sales have not been able to reach the situation. Such companies need local seniors. Market or sales do core team partners.
As returnees entrepreneurs, some of them lack the domestic market sales of friends, and they can't invite suitable friends to join in to be responsible for market sales and partnership ventures. Some people think that if they make the most advanced chips, they must sell them. Paying too much attention to sales, and even serving as vice president of sales. Of course, there are still some people who are simply immersing themselves in R&D. They don’t pay attention or do not understand how to recruit a vice president of sales. They dragged down one leg.
As another example, six years ago, an American doctor, who was also a chip company in chip design in the United States 20 and was back in business for the next year, came to me through a friend and asked me to find him a chip design engineer. He has been in business for more than three years. A few chips have been made. I asked him how the sales were. He said that he had no sales yet. I asked him if there was a sales manager. He said that there was a sales manager who was responsible. I asked him what the background was, he said yes. Neighbor introduced to him, an IT software research and development, do not want to write code to sell, he feels good let him be responsible for sales. I immediately told him not to rush to find a chip design engineer, but should be looking for a chip The vice president or director of sales, to partner as a partner to start a business. However, he insisted that I first find him a chip design engineer. The end of this company, we should all be able to think of it.
If the development of a domestic small and medium-sized company cannot be quickly converted into sales and market share, then it is hard to get room for development as an industry with high input and expected high output. Not only is its development limited, but it is also difficult for the government to support the industry. A so-called high-end product that can't make sales and occupy market share has no practical commercial value.
There are two main types of 'symptomatic pharmaceuticals':
Solution 1 - Increase Technology and Market Senior Talent Policy / Increase Middle-Level Talent Policy
I suggest that the addition of a technical senior talent policy is only a bit weaker than the leader’s talent policy, but it is also acceptable. Those returnees who are technically talented are not necessarily the ones who must go to start their own business and become bosses. They may be more willing to follow local Liu Bei. This kind of technical senior talent policy needs to some extent meet the psychological needs of many sea-returning technical masters for Minghe Li. On the other hand, we have a leader talent policy because we attach importance to senior technical talents, but we have Sales of high-level talents are too low priority. Market sales are weak and they are also lame. Therefore, a policy of marketing high-level talents is also supported. For example, the company recruits a vice president of the market, and the government also provides corresponding talents with preferential policies to attract outstanding people. The market sales person joins the entrepreneurial enterprise to do the second child and the third oldest.
I talked with some of the entrepreneurial CEOs introduced by the 530 policy. They complained that most of them were unable to recruit talents at the manager level. Major events, trivial matters, farts, and broken things all had their own management. They were annoying and exhausted. A general, if not How do you play in the platoon leader, company commander? However, the 'leader' and 'long-leader' are the middle-class talents that are most likely to be ignored by the policy. I suggest adding an intermediate-level talent policy. Around 2008, I gave the Wuxi IC base. The CEOs suggested that some graduates who have graduated from school for more than five years should go to Wuxi as a manager and do the backbone. Government departments can formulate talent policies for such middle-level talents. Unfortunately, policy development at that time could not continue. At present, our talent policy is mainly directed against the top Leading talented people, and then just graduated college students. In fact, it is now very necessary to increase the policies of the two core talents (deputy general and director) and backbone (managers) to promote the organizational structure and talent allocation of Wuxi IC enterprises. Reasonable, to promote the smooth growth of enterprises.
Solution 2 - The government subsidizes special recruitment costs and encourages companies to use headhunting services
Excellent talents do not lack job opportunities, especially in the integrated circuit industry in Chaoyang, and they are more willing to work in the north. Therefore, in Wuxi, it is very difficult to recruit excellent IC talent for normal recruitment channels. This requires the Recruitment of middle-level and high-level talent is the main method of headhunting services. However, local companies rarely use the headhunting service. They are reluctant to obtain headhunting fees. If they can't recruit the right ones, they will generally lower their standards to solve them; if they do not lower their standards, It will take longer to recruit. This will seriously affect the quality and progress of the project and affect the development of the company. Many returnees do not understand the recruitment channels, and naturally they rarely use headhunting to solve recruitment problems.
Since the government also understands that talented people are the company’s most important resource, the government can think of ways to help companies get the most important resources as quickly as possible. This is helping the company in the most important aspect. Then, the cost of a subsidy headhunter The policy encourages IC design companies to entrust headhunters to hunt for senior talents and cultivate their habit of using headhunters to recruit senior talents. Here, I declare that I am not giving a talk to my own headhunter. My headhunter KT Consulting is currently full of orders. , Mainly on the north deep chip related customers, second-tier cities generally do not take orders, unless I am very optimistic about or I invest in the company.
Only excellent talents can be put in place and timely, in order to allow the company to grow smoothly!! Therefore, the government's policies, subsidies, and the use of high-level talents are used here on the 'blade'! People are the first resources, talents In place, as fast as the two legs run, the company is on the way and it is strong.
Why do you hire a platoon leader, and even the company commander uses a headhunting company? The company's commander in the chip industry (who can be qualified as a manager) is a master's degree graduated 56 or even more than seven or eight years old, and their income is not low. They Finding a good job in a first-tier city is also very easy. Therefore, I suggest that the Wuxi government also help Wuxi companies timely recruit manager-level key personnel by subsidizing headhunting expenses. After finishing the issue of Wuxi IC design companies, I will return to my topic today. The most important key talents for integrated circuit design companies in China' come. The protagonist of the integrated circuit industry is the IC industry. The guests participating in the government, parks, associations, universities, and investment attending the conference today are just like IC coffee. Circuit companies, to promote the better development of integrated circuit companies. Since the protagonist is an integrated circuit company, I also focus on IC design companies, then we analyze what the boss of IC design company is most annoying, help the bosses solve The most annoying thing is that the best service for them is to promote the development of integrated circuit design companies.
Lao Hu talked with the CEOs of hundreds of integrated circuit design companies about drinking coffee. To sum up what they are up to, there are the following:
1. What to do afterwards (market and product demand information)? too difficult technical reserves are not enough, too easy to be plagiarized, too much money is not enough, too small investors do not agree, too high a market does not know, Too low the price of cabbage has been ... If there is a technical market product definition helper is much better! 2. Delay and Delay! (product definition capabilities, enterprise product management capabilities, manufacturing and testing of the project's operational capabilities) Chip from the market research to Product definition to architecture to design, to streaming, packaging and testing, to do DEMO board, and then to the market, so many links, always some irritability, always accidental, always Delay and Delay, always worried about missing the time window. A product management line talented helper is much better! 3. Can't do it or it can't be done! (R&D staff needs, the existing problem of cultivating engineer system) Need technical research and development expert. 4. Can't sell well or sell! (Do not pay attention to market channels and marketing capabilities) Need to sell master. 5. Money is not enough! (Industrial financing needs more to understand the industry and is willing to invest in early and mid-term project capital) Need help financing.
These five kinds of troubles are actually people's problems.
If the top four senior talents are in place, they will be able to solve the most annoying problems for most IC design company owners. The boss will not be bothered.
Such an integrated circuit design company has a relatively complete core and backbone team and a reasonable division of labor. Therefore, various investment institutions will be more optimistic, and they will come to the door to hope for investment. The fifth annoyance is easy to solve. The company will naturally have money. With a sense of urgency to research and development, and then ask the market for money, no longer stare at the government and the park to seek various kinds of policy subsidies.
Therefore, I suggest that not only Wuxi, governments and parks that really value the integrated circuit industry throughout the country, but also really want to serve well IC companies. To really promote the development of this industry, it is necessary to really help the company solve the senior-level talent problems. Middle-level and high-level talent policy, subsidy for recruitment expenses (headhunting expenses). Helping to solve the most troublesome things for IC companies' CEOs helps the company to the maximum extent and promotes the development of the company. This is the key to making money out of small money and doing the key. thing.
In fact, what most troubled the designers of integrated circuit design companies is the problem of where the resources in the upper and lower reaches are. It is the cooperation of various partners in the midstream and downstream.
For example: EDA company, IP company, Fab's production capacity and yield, quality and delivery of packaging and testing, whether agents are really trying to help promote the chip, whether the customer can place an order, can they place more orders, this is the most annoying CEO How can we get the upper, middle, and downstream partners? This is also reflected in the issue of the ecological environment. Is there an atmosphere of industrial exchange and cooperation for mutually beneficial cooperation? Can someone help link these resources? Are there links to people who have presets? Position, Can we serve the industry in a neutral way? These are all considerations for a regional development. We can rely on large enterprises such as Huawei Hass as the core to establish an ecosystem, but in a city that is truly influential in the industry, it is precisely this kind of neutrality. Ecolinkers, they provide services to SMEs and governments, but they do not compete directly with companies within the industry chain. They seem to have little value, but their value is much greater than that of general enterprises. If a company’s main business and Companies in the industry are competitive and undermine the industry’s trust and value system. Unless he has the ability to independently support the industry, no one can really Helping the industry. Ecology is the biggest demand for industrial optimization. Neutral third party is the biggest principle of ecological service.
To get the upper and lower reaches of the partners, of course, the first to have strong technology, high quality, good prices, excellent service, this is hard work. Soft effort? Is the upper and lower reaches of friends, friends and more good way to go! Friends to many, that It is necessary to integrate into the ecology of the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, and get support from friends from the upper and middle reaches. Only to be able to walk away, Ren Zhengfei said that “a cup of coffee absorbs the energy of the universe”, which means that high-level managers are encouraged to go out and make friends. Collide with each other and integrate into the ecosystem. IC executives in the Mainland need to actively go out for 'drinking coffee', looking for upstream and downstream partners in the industry chain, and looking for support from ecological forces.
IC design companies have high technical thresholds, many technical links, long and complex industrial chains, and are distributed throughout the country and around the globe. This is a typical global industry. No country can cover integration. In all aspects of the circuit, internationalization is a major trend in the global integrated circuit industry. Therefore, any country cannot seal up the so-called complete industrial chain ecology. One country cannot, and one region cannot. The integrated circuit industry in Taiwan is very strong. We use For example, Taiwan, Taiwan's integrated circuit industry chain is complete? TSMC to buy equipment in Taiwan? To Taiwan's chip companies to stream out? MTK to buy Taiwan's EDA tools? MTK chips sold to Taiwan's mobile phone manufacturers? What will happen to TSMC and MTK?
The IC industry, which is as strong as Taiwan, cannot establish an independent and complete ecosystem. However, there are always some regions in the country and even a park that wants to establish a complete upstream and downstream ecological chain. This is completely impossible. When Xi’an introduced Samsung, there were The report stated that Xi'an has established a complete integrated circuit ecological chain, which is obviously incorrect. Because Xi'an Samsung is unlikely to stream Xi'an's chip design companies. There are also places that have heavily invested in chip design service companies, etc. The ecological role is very small, and it is totally unworthy of such a heavy investment because it cannot really promote the local industrial ecology. There are also some incubators that do not have any integrated circuit resources. Can this help local IC companies?
Since we are faced with a global ecosystem of industries across the country, we cannot confine ourselves to a single city in a park. Instead, we must take the initiative to link all parts of the country. Linking around the world must be integrated into a national global network. Go to the ecological platform to seek the support of ecological forces.
Why do we have to repeatedly say that we are looking for the support of ecological forces? Because ecology is the greatest strength. We know that in the PC era, Intel is king; but in the mobile era, ARM, a company much smaller than Intel, depends on ecological support. Intel got very embarrassed.
From another point of view, I would like to talk about why ecology is the greatest strength. For our country’s poverty alleviation work, we used to give money and give money. However, when we found many poor people, we had money to go. Eating meat, drinking, or even playing cards and gambling did not escape poverty. We found that this method of giving money alone is not good enough. We still need to give him some new ideas, ways to make money and get rich, and therefore arrange for the cadres to go to the countryside to arrange college students. Officials, but the discovery is still not enough, the pressure to eradicate poverty is still very high. Now that many places are engaged in three links, I think the greatest value is in helping the poor. The first is the pathway, where the people in the road can go out and see the outside world. , outside people can come in and communicate with them. The second electricity, you can watch TV, understand the changes in the world, change some of the people's thoughts. The third link, but also the most critical, is through the network, Internet access, you can Interact with all parts of the world across the globe. This is the most critical move. They are connected to the Internet world and connected with the ecology of the entire modern society. There will be various needs and demands.
I returned to Sichuan this Spring Festival. One of my relatives is Qingchuan County. Inside a big mountain. He said that there are many wonderful Shanzhens in their mountains. My wife thought, Can we get Shanghai to sell? My relatives are there. Laughing, saying that they already have a lot of e-commerce, and they can all be bought in Shanghai. Looks like this is the result of the network. They are connected with the world, and the various needs are docked, deep in the mountains. The Shanzhen can be sold at a good price, and the people in the mountains can better make a fortune by relying on the mountains. The ecological force of this society can make them out of poverty!
There are triads for poverty alleviation, and there are also trilogy in supporting integrated circuit industries. The first step is to give money to give money, give a lot of money, and find that many companies are accustomed to live by policies and even take the money to fight price wars. It doesn’t really innovate to make a profit in the market. It’s not enough to support the industry by giving money. Then in the second step, we must give him a thought and give him some new methods and thinking for business growth. The introduction of special talents, I just talked about how to help them introduce middle-level and high-level talents. But still not enough, I think there must be a third point to help them access the country, the global upstream and downstream resources of the industry chain, access to the country, the world In the integrated circuit eco-platform, with the help of ecological forces, they can really help them.
The power of ecology is embodied in various smooth cooperations in the upper and middle reaches of the river. The cooperation between the upper and lower reaches must be coordinated first. The smooth integration of ecological resources in the industrial chain can help companies find resources, filter resources, and gain mutual trust. Save a lot of time. Saving time is the most important, because time is the biggest cost for the company.
I talk about some of the resources I have done before docking work:
1. A company was looking for some type of IP for more than a week. I used 10 minutes to help him connect. 2. A company had a technical problem for half a month. I recommend an expert to go to the company to study Hours to get it; 3. A company to find a special test equipment for a month and a half did not find, the chip came back for a month and a half dead hard, I half an hour to help him docking; 4. A company chip came out for half a year There is no design in. The reason is that the agents he seeks are not good enough, and they cannot find the right user. I used half an hour to help him dock with two very suitable small and medium-sized agents, and started design in about a week. 5. An investment The company wants to invest in a project. There are several questions about the project but there is no way to confirm it. I asked ten individuals in two hours and confirmed that there were several key data frauds...
We look at the above cases, how much time is saved for them, and how much efficiency is increased?
On average, Lao Laohu will draw more than 30 groups each week to help connect various upstream and downstream resources in the industry chain. Maybe everyone thinks that it is not just a matter of pulling in groups? How much time do I save for those companies?
Like the above-mentioned efficient resource connection, IC Coffee’s full-time employees, enthusiastic promoters, and enthusiastic fans, every day, in the WeChat group of 150 IC coffees, continues to follow.
Soon after, IC Coffee will have a complicated IT platform. Various resources upstream and downstream of the various IC industry chains will be brought together. Various docking services will spontaneously take place on the platform, perhaps every day. This kind of docking is not only an expression of enthusiasm and help, but also a good thing for mutual help and mutual benefit. Of course, the platform will use certain methods such as blockchain technology to record the value of enthusiastic people's contribution and enhance his “credibility”. Degree', and automatically sent him a 'flip card' and 'enthusiastic card' to give him real feedback! On this platform of transparent third-party industrialists, there are more enthusiastic people and more credible people. There are many people who fly, and people who are indifferent, untrustworthy, and people who are not reliable, they will be marginalized, and they will avoid the platform of this transparent third-party integrated circuit industry, so the platform Such people will be less. The industry, the era of good money expelling bad money will come.
IC Coffee, based on a small community with 300 promoters as its core, builds a large community of enthusiastic practitioners in the industry chain, assembles enthusiastic managers, managers, engineers, and connects resources across the country to the upstream and downstream industrial chains. Open up, set IC incubator, IC training and employment, IC investment and financing, IC industry chain resource integration, IC practitioners in third-party resource platform + trust platform in cyberspace, is an IC industry chain community + technology Service & Entrepreneurship Service Company.
There are many so-called resource platforms for the IC industry chain. There are many known as integrated circuit ecosystems. However, what can really be done must have several basic elements:
1. It has open, equal and inclusive third-party properties; 2. It can bring together industrial resources from all parts of the country and around the world; 3. It can truly open the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain; 4. Can widely bring together industry veterans, managers and engineers. Strength; 5. Ability to cultivate professionals and empower companies based on industry development needs.
IC coffee has exactly the above basic elements. Lao Hu believes that IC Coffee has the most chance to become the largest integrated circuit industrial community, the largest and the best integrated circuit ecosystem platform, can best serve this industry, and promote the development of this industry.
In the past six months, I have met with individual leaders of two cities and parks. I can recognize the value of IC Coffee as an eco-platform of the integrated circuit industry chain. I am trying to find ways to make IC Coffee this platform fall into the local area or open an interface and land on the local area. , To promote the smooth connection of local companies to the global industrial resources of the country. I think they really understand the IC coffee, people with great wisdom!
Summarizing my speech today, I think:
First, in second-tier cities, there is a need for some middle-to-high-level talent policies and subsidies for special recruitment fees for these talents to help integrated circuit design companies in second-tier cities to improve core teams and backbone teams as quickly as possible so that companies can develop faster and better. ;
Secondly, second-tier cities need to take the initiative to import the nation’s global integrated circuit industrial chain eco-resources platform. Otherwise, local companies will rely on their own strength to seek and integrate into the global IC industry ecosystem to seek the global global industrial chain ecology. With the help of resources, this efficiency will be very, very low, and business growth will be greatly affected.
Today my speech is here. Thank you!
