Zhang Bo's answer is actually very simple: 'Chasing Dreams'. Pursue the dream of R&D 'China Core', so that everyone can use autonomous and controllable high-quality core chips.
A heart that loves the motherland
Pull him back to Xi'an
Zhang Bo is a native of Xi'an. From undergraduate to master's degree students have been studying at Xi'an Electronic and Science University. In 2008, the first group of national high-level university construction plans sent public postgraduate students to study for doctoral degrees at National University of Singapore.
When he graduated from the Ph.D. in 2011, Zhang Bo’s life fell into a tangled choice. Staying in Singapore? Going to the US? Or returning home? Because at the time he received both an offer from a well-known American company and a university, and received a top-notch C9 alliance in China. When colleges and universities invites students, it is very difficult for them to get such opportunities. Everyone urges Zhang Bo to consider carefully, choose a safer place, develop the highest starting point, have the best platform, and have more guarantees for future life. Go. “My father was the first college student after the college entrance examination. After graduation, many of his classmates chose to go abroad for development. Nowadays they are considered to be successful. However, he stayed at home, compared to those who went abroad. There is a clear gap in the development of the father in China. ' Zhang Bo said, so during that time, the father always used his own example to persuade him to choose to stay abroad.
However, Zhang Bo said from the heart that he has not been so determined to stay abroad. He said: 'In terms of comparing official terms, I am a returnee of the public school and return with my own studies to return to the motherland. When this sentence is replaced with my own words, I must say so. This choice is to choose the length of the distance between the ceiling and the floor in my own life. When I walk into a unit abroad, I stand on the floor, whether it is from a leadership position or Starting from the technical backbone position, one can look forward to seeing the future of life. In the future, I will be nothing more than a higher-level technician and senior leader. It seems that the distance from floor to ceiling in my life is not Long. However, at home, I may need to start from scratch. However, the prospects for development have infinite possibilities. There is no end point. It is only possible to encounter various twists and turns when measuring the distance between the floor and the ceiling.
Is it the choice of the glorious life in the eyes of others, or the choice of an unknown future? This question Zhang Bo asked innumerable times in half a year's time. Eventually, the heart of a loved motherland from childhood to childhood brought him back to Xi'an.
Dreaming on the road
Many unexpected difficulties
After communicating with an alumni, Zhang Bo learned that Xi’an University of Posts and Telecommunications has a provincial-level engineering and technology research center that specializes in chips, not only doing scientific and technological research, but also making product-oriented transformation and industrialization development. This positioning is consistent with Zhang’s Professionalism and ideas were surprisingly consistent. So, in 2011, Zhang Bo entered Xi'an University of Posts and Telecommunications to become a university professor, and he also formed a radio frequency microwave integrated circuit and micro system design and development team.
As the leader of the scientific research team, what makes Zhang Bo most painful is the introduction of talents. 'We first selected the good targets in the domestic relevant teams, then established relationships with each other in the name of academic exchanges, and then ran to talk with the doctors one by one. I believe that by moving things to emotions and trying to pull people into Xi'an, I will pull them into the team. We have to solve all the problems that people have. We must do everything we can to introduce them. 'Zhang Bo said, that's it, By 2013, his R&D team had 8 PhDs and more than 30 R&D personnel.
In order to achieve better product transformation and to better realize his dreams, Zhang Bo started his second entrepreneurial career. In 2014, he established Xi'an Borui Jixin Electronic Technology Co., Ltd.. Zhang Bo, who is the head of the "turtle", professor and scientific research team, was educated again in reality. He encountered black-hearted landlords and rented houses. He went to work and suffered from cold eyes. Even recruiting ordinary employees would have suspected that there was no bus in the company's area. The car is unwilling to come and go. 'These difficulties are difficult for our long time stay in the campus, the people in the laboratory, it is difficult to break through the technical difficulties several times or even dozens of times.' Along the way, I I fell into countless 'pits'. Fortunately, when I chose to return to China, I was already mentally prepared. For the sake of the company's development, in order to realize my dream, I could only dig myself out of the pit and continue my work.'
'Everyone can use autonomy
Controllable high quality core chip'
Fortunately, Zhang Bo persisted. With the rapid development of Xi'an in the past two years, Zhang Bo's company is also developing rapidly. At present, his company has a team of nearly 100 people and has become a first-class wireless communication chip in China. The design company has developed more than 40 dedicated core chips, and the technical indicators have reached or exceeded foreign similar products, can completely replace imported chips, and are applied in multiple types of equipment. The company also established subsidiaries and offices in Xiamen and Beijing. After completing three rounds of financing, the current market valuation is also close to 1 billion yuan.
This year, Zhang Bo will also cooperate with the famous Fortune 500 company Huaxun Fangzhou Group, with a total investment of 20 billion yuan in the industrial chain in Xi'an with the 'Terahertz' technology as the core. Zhang Bo said that 'terahertz' technology is recognized as a US and US One of the “Top Ten Science and Technology Changes in the Future World” can be widely used in fields such as security, communications, military industry, biology, and medical care. In his eyes, this is the standard 'hard technology', core technology, and future industries in Xi’an. The development is well-matched. The overall project will cover all aspects of core chips, equipment manufacturing and industrial applications. It will be in the form of 'production base + industry fund + professional think tank' and will strive to issue Xi'an as soon as possible in this strategic technology field. Voice, will Xi'an create cost-leading international research and development of highlands, industrial highland.
Speaking of the future development of the company, Zhang Bo was confident that he sat on the office sofa with his plain clothes. He immediately changed the way he talked in the technical terminology of 'Technology Male''technology control.' Enterprises, in fact, have strong technical and financial strength and support, but want to develop, can not be separated from the promotion of the external environment and the construction of the platform. 'He said that at present, Xi'an is constantly improving the natural environment, the human environment and The business environment not only gave everyone a glimpse of the time-honoured culture of Xi'an, but also demonstrated the modern beauty of Xi'an. In addition to the implementation of the New Talent Policy, it attracted many talents for the company and retained talents. The 'Three Revolutions' were implemented. The speed of the development of the company's operations has been enhanced. It is clear that Xi'an has developed well and that the enterprises and entrepreneurs in Xi'an can also have greater development.
Nowadays, the 35-year-old Zhang Bo is not only a university professor, but also a scientist and an entrepreneur. He said that at present it is the key period for the development of national military and civilian integration and China's 'coreless pain' tuyere, realize 'let everyone The dream of “China Core” that can use autonomous and controllable high-quality core chips is not only his own dream. At this stage, Xi’an is creating a business card for the “hard technology” capital. I believe that in the future his dream will be able to Xi'an Realization. Text/graph reporter Gong Weifang
