Counterattack 1988

In the afternoon, Zhou Boqiang and others returned to Seoul from Busan, and reported the trip to Wang Lin.

Zhou Boqiang also had the same worry as Zhou Congee, that is, he felt that Liu Zhisheng's company and factory were not as big as he imagined. Although it was not a leather bag company, it could only be regarded as a third-rate company.

Aishu Group can be regarded as a first-class large enterprise both domestically and internationally.

Although the technology company is newly established, its future development can be expected. Is it really necessary to do OEM for such a company?

Wang Lin replied without hesitation: "We do OEM, we earn OEM fees, and we can also learn the technology and knowledge on their production lines. The order will allow us to earn OEM fees."

Zhou Boqiang said: "Okay, you are the boss, you can make the decision."

Han Qingning said: "I think there is no problem. South Korea's semiconductor industry started early. Liu Zhisheng's company has been established for more than 20 years. He inherited his father's business and took over this company. This also shows from the side that although his company did not To be stronger and bigger, but at least it is doing well and can make a profit.”

Wang Haiyang said: "Qing Ning is right. The reason why their factory looks dilapidated is because it has been around for a long time. And the reason why they find us as an OEM is because they feel that it is better to invest in a new factory in South Korea than in my country." Foundries."

Wang Lindao: "Yes, your analysis is correct. The current labor force in South Korea is several times that of our country, and the land and housing prices in cities are also unaffordable for ordinary enterprises. The transfer of low-end and mid-end manufacturing industries is an inevitable trend in developed regions. It is a necessary step. We will start from the foundry and make Aishu Technology a world-class technology company!"

Zhou Boqiang and Zhou Porridge had no objections.

The next day, Wang Lin and Liu Zhisheng formally signed a cooperation agreement.

Liu Zhisheng will gradually hand over all the company's production orders to Wang Lin. His company is in South Korea and only does R&D and trade.

Wang Lin felt that his decision was wise.

The current status of South Korea's manufacturing industry is the situation that my country's manufacturing industry will face in 20 years.

my country will also face the pain of industrial upgrading and transfer.

The difference is that Chinese companies can move to underdeveloped areas in the central and western regions, while South Korean companies have no way out and can only seek value depressions from foreign countries.

The trip of Wang Lin and his party in South Korea came to an end.

They didn't have time to travel around, so they set off directly to the next stop - Dongyang.

Wang Lin has been to Dongyang more than once.

But every time I come here, I feel that this place is both familiar and strange.

What I am familiar with are those yellow-skinned people on the street.

What is strange is their language and customs here.

With the development of modern civilization to a certain extent, all cities have become fortress jungles of reinforced concrete.

Just after leaving the port of Seoul, I visited Tokyo Street again.

Except for the different signs on the street, the two have too many similarities.

The citizens in a hurry, everyone is going their own way, not caring about each other, and not greeting each other.

Even if someone suddenly fell to the ground on the street, the people around him would just cast a cold look and continue on their way.

Seeing this scene, Wang Lin suddenly thought that after ten years in China, human relations would be so indifferent.

Cities should be the crystallization of civilization, but behind this civilization, there are too many uncivilized behaviors.

The number of friends is increasing, but the quality is getting worse.Social mobility is frequent, peer groups are changing, there are more and more high-rise buildings in the city, but the area for human interaction is getting narrower and narrower, and the face of urban people is becoming colder.

Perhaps this is due to the personality of the new generation?
They pay more attention to their own lives than to others.

Everyone is making money, focusing more on their own interests and ignoring the feelings and needs of others.

The years have passed, and the times have changed.

The encounters of a generation are blocked by tall buildings.

The independent space is getting bigger and bigger, but getting along with neighbors is getting more and more indifferent.

What's more, it reaches the situation of "unknown face to face".

Urban apathy, with the continuous growth of the Internet and the development of the city, daily meeting with old friends has become a luxury, young people still have work and entertainment, and the elderly who lack care may be due to the increasingly weak neighborhood relationship Coupled with the difference in interest levels, it is easier to feel lonely.

When Wang Lin went to the streets of South Korea and Dongyang, he often saw lonely old people sitting on the side of the street or walking on Linyin Road like a piece of wood.

After finding the hotel where he was staying, Wang Lin contacted Xingzi.

Before this trip abroad, Wang Lin and Xingzi talked on the phone.

Xingzi heard that Wang Lin was going to Japan, so she specially arranged time to return to Tokyo in these few days, just to accompany Wang Lin on a trip.

After receiving Wang Lin's call, Xingzi rushed over to meet him.

"Wang Linjun, why didn't you notify me in advance? I will pick you up at the airport." Xingzi said coquettishly.

"I don't want to trouble you too much. You helped us arrange the hotel, and we took a taxi to check in. This is very convenient."

Sachiko wore a lavender dress today, with a graceful figure and a graceful figure.

The relationship between her and Wang Lin is quite special.

The two had moments of intimacy, but were not attached to each other.

If the timing is right, when the two meet together, a wonderful relationship will naturally occur.

More often, you are busy and I am also busy, and you may not see each other for several months, or even seldom contact each other.

If so, when the two meet again, they will neither feel unfamiliar nor neglect each other, they are still as good as a pair of lovers together.

This kind of indifferent relationship made Wang Lin feel very comfortable, without any burden.

Wang Lin and Sachiko had a private conversation.

Xingzi knew that Wang Lin led the team here to investigate and understand the status quo of semiconductors in Toyo.

Therefore, she used her connections to help Wang Lin contact several related semiconductor companies.

Starting tomorrow, Wang Lin and the others will be able to visit these enterprises.

In Toyo in the 90s and [-]s, there was a semiconductor company that could not be ignored.

The company was called NEC.

Speaking of which, NEC is not an unfamiliar face. It has been involved in the communication equipment industry for more than 100 years, and communication has always been its main business. In 1899, Toyo Electric Co., Ltd. (NEC) was established, and its initial products were telephones and switches.

In the more than 100 years since its establishment, NEC has continued to expand and gradually developed into a famous giant of electronic computers, semiconductors and communication equipment in Toyo.

Especially in the 90s, NEC’s scale and reputation reached its peak. At that time, NEC was the world’s largest chip company. From 1985 to 1991, its semiconductor sales ranked first in the world for seven consecutive years, surpassing Intel, TI and other famous semiconductors. company.

The telecommunications business is the ancestral business of NEC. In the 90s, Toyo Equipment still had certain advantages in the Chinese market. Seven companies including NEC, Siemens, Lucent, Ericsson, and Alcatel monopolized the Chinese market, which was called "seven countries and eight systems".

However, this company soon declined and was killed on the beach by the tide of the times.

Wang Lin knew the history of this company and was more interested in visiting it.

A giant enterprise, which has stood for a hundred years, why did it get rich overnight?Why would he die suddenly in the future?

The reasons for this are more worthy of Wang Lin, an entrepreneur, to learn from and ponder over.

Therefore, the first stop of Wang Lin's oriental itinerary was NEC.

Xingzi will also accompany Wang Lin throughout the journey.

In 1995, Toyo's GDP per capita ranked third in the world.

At this time, the economic level of Toyo ranked first in Asia.

At that time, the economic bubble in Toyo had burst. The reason for such an astonishing per capita income was that the rapid appreciation of the yen boosted the overall per capita income. However, this method did not increase the wealth of Toyo, but a series of crises emerged. .

After the war, the Eastern economy developed rapidly with the strong support of the United States. After several years of development, the Eastern economy rose rapidly and became one of the most important economies in the world, second only to the second largest economy in the United States.

During this period, the East was extremely rich.

The anime "Chibi Maruko" describes the Oriental society in this period.Xiao Maruko's family is a poor family, but they can afford beef and milk. They have refrigerators, TVs and other electrical appliances at home.

Such family conditions, in the country at the same time, we can't imagine.

The United States saw the rapid development of the East and saw that the people of the East were living a richer and more elegant life than the people of the United States. Of course, they couldn't bear it, so they took action.

In the end, the yen depreciated sharply and the economy fell into crisis.

The depreciation of the yen caused the export of goods in the East to lose their competitiveness, and the economy fell into a downturn.

But in the eyes of outsiders, a thin camel is bigger than a horse, and the life of the Orientals is still very refined and rich.

It can also be seen from the Japanese dramas of this period.

Let’s talk about Toyo’s semiconductors.

Toyo's semiconductor industry has made brilliant achievements in the 20th century.

As early as 1986, its semiconductor products accounted for 45% of the global market share.

However, with the signing of the "Plaza Agreement", Toyo's semiconductor industry has also been suppressed from the United States.

As a result, Toyo's once prosperous economy was also hit hard and fell into a downturn.

By 1995, the global share of Toyo Semiconductor products had dropped to 35%, and this giant economic ship also sailed into the fog.

Although its share in the semiconductor market is not high, it still maintains a leading position in semiconductor equipment and raw materials.

Wang Lin came this time to look for opportunities to acquire Dongyang's semiconductor equipment factory and raw material manufacturing factory.

Semiconductors require a complete industrial chain.

Wang Lin wants to build his own industrial chain!
Only in this way can he go further and further on this road without being strangled by foreigners.

He bought LG's semiconductors, and then came to Dongyang to buy raw materials and equipment factories, and he could form an industrial chain in China.

my country has a lot of rare earths, which are also one of the most important raw materials for semiconductors.

In addition, there is one of the most important equipment for semiconductors, which is the lithography machine.

Even if Wang Lin has completed the acquisition tasks in South Korea and Japan, there is still a long way to go if he wants to build his own semiconductor empire.
