Counterattack 1988

Chapter 1716 Idol
The first stop for Wang Lin and Shen Xue was to go to Intel Corporation.

Intel's headquarters is located in the heart of Silicon Valley. Like many American technology giants, no matter the building itself or the inconspicuous signage, Intel maintains a rigorous and low-key appearance from the outside.

Shen Xue didn't know much about technology companies. She followed Wang Lin more as a secretary.

It has to be said that with a beautiful and eye-catching woman like Shen Xue by his side, Wang Lin became much more conspicuous.

The human concern for beauty is universal.

Beautiful things are always the first to catch people's eyes.

"Wang Lin, is this the world's largest semiconductor core company you mentioned?" Shen Xue asked looking at this inconspicuous building.

Wang Lin smiled and said, "Yes, it's here. These buildings are still in the style of the 60s. But obviously, the rich people here don't intend to spend money on building renewal."

Shen Xue pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Are the people here really as rich as you said? I think they are very casually dressed."

Wang Lindao: "You don't have to doubt it. How do you say it? The elites in suits and ties on the streets of New York may have a net worth of 200 U.S. dollars, but those sloppy-dressed people in Silicon Valley have bank card balances that are as low as [-] U.S. dollars. It's $[-] million."

Shen Xuedao: "Two million dollars, is that a multi-millionaire?"

Wang Lindao: "Almost!"

Shen Xuedao: "Wang Haiyang also came from here, I don't think he has much money?"

Wang Lin laughed and said, "How long has Wang Haiyang been working? There must be a process of accumulation of wealth, right?"

Shen Xue said, "What are we doing here?"

Wang Lindao: "See if we can get some OEM orders."

Shen Xue said, "Don't they produce chips themselves?"

Wang Lindao: "On the contrary, since its establishment, Intel has insisted on the IDM model, that is, designing and producing chips by itself. It believes that only in this way can it guarantee the quality of its own chips. Of course, it does not produce chips for others, but only produces for itself. .”

Shen Xue said: "Since that's the case, what else can we order from him?"

Wang Lindao: "The most important raw material for a chip is the wafer. The manufacturing process of the wafer is arduous and tiring. Compared with the profit of the chip, the profit of the wafer production is not high. It is difficult to produce and For things that are difficult to make money, of course big factories won’t produce them themselves.”

Shen Xuedao: "What we want to fight for is the foundry of the wafer?"

Wang Lindao: "Yes, but even this stuff, we may not be able to win it."

Shen Xue said: "Why?"

Wang Lindao: "Firstly, can the qualifications of Aishiu Technology be affirmed by Intel? If they don't nod, or think that we are not qualified enough, they will not hand over the order to us. Second, they already have a foundry Well, what if we are robbing the tiger's mouth of food!"

Shen Xue said: "Then we have to show the ability to persuade them."

Wang Lin said: "Yes."

This kind of conversation, Uncle Zhong has always been unable to intervene.

Fortunately, Wang Lin and the others successfully met the current CEO of Intel Corporation, Mr. Grove.

The reason why Grove agreed to meet with Wang Lin was because he had not only heard of the name of Aixiu Group, but also used the products of Aixiu Group in his family.

The diapers produced by Aixiu Group, with the lowest cost and price, and the best quality, defeated all the products in Europe and the United States, and sold well in major cities in the United States, and even sold out of stock in many places.

Grove is a nice-looking guy who doesn't look old in his 50s.

This person is a legend in the global IT industry. He is the idol of Jobs and the benefactor of Bill Gates.

As Time Magazine's Person of the Year and one of the greatest corporate leaders of the twentieth century, Grove has influenced the business world with his charisma of "only the paranoid can survive". He is called a spiritual mentor by Jobs and other entrepreneurs. business icon.

When Wang Lin saw him, he found that he was thin and not tall.

He suddenly remembered one thing, because he had read reports about Grove. It was in this year that Grove was diagnosed with cancer.

From the first time Wang Lin saw Grove, he tried hard to recall everything related to this person in his mind.

There are many media reports on a business godfather like this.

Wang Lin either actively or passively read a lot of his related articles.

He searched some fragments related to Grove from his memory bank, and he had a different confidence for the following conversation.

"Mr. Grove, hello, I am Wang Lin, the chairman of Aishu Group. Nice to meet you."

"Oh! Mr. Wang Lin! This is our handshake and meeting across the Pacific Ocean." Grove smiled slightly, and the pattern of Sichuan characters shrugged on his broad forehead.

Wang Lin smiled and said, "I'm taking the liberty of coming here. I wonder if I've disturbed Mr. Grove's work?"

Grove said: "Work and time can be arranged. There is no job that must be completed at a certain time. Mr. Wang Lin, you are the Chinese I admire the most! I have heard the story of your self-made , very inspirational!"

Wang Lindao: "When it comes to self-made, why not you? Your achievements are much higher than mine."

Grove said: "The fields we are in are different. In your field, you are the king. I still remember that when someone recommended Axiu diapers to me for the first time, I resisted. I don't think a company How good diapers can be produced by factories in the East—I’m sorry, I was indeed more qualified for European and American products at the time.”

Wang Lin smiled slightly, and said without hesitation: "Prejudice and stereotypes are deeply rooted in people's hearts. Only by more contact and communication can we change everything."

Grove said: "My child, after using your product, the problem of red buttocks has been improved, and I have not changed your product since then. Your product is very light, very breathable, and absorbs water. The ability is top-notch again. May I ask how you did this?"

Wang Lindao: "We use the world's most advanced raw material, which is a pure natural bamboo fiber material, which is as skin-friendly as cotton, but more refreshing and breathable, so we can ensure that children's buttocks will not turn red. "

Grove laughed and said, "I guessed it, you must have used new technology. Since there are high-tech materials in it, why is the price so cheap?"

Wang Lindao: "This is due to the cheap labor market in our country. Many large companies in the world now open their factories to mainland my country, or find suitable foundries in the local area, because our domestic labor is cheap. The same products , we can reduce the cost by more than half, and we can also guarantee the same quality, even better than the products produced in Europe and the United States!"

Grove said: "Really? Why can the two be combined into one? Isn't it true that cheap workers can't make excellent products?"

Wang Lindao: "Because we Chinese are the most conscientious, diligent and hardworking people in the world. The per capita wage level in our country is not high, but each of us will work conscientiously, not afraid of hardship or tiredness. Even in the world The dirtiest and tiring work, the work that others are unwilling to do, as long as there is money to be made, we can also find people to do it in our country. For example, we can do wafers that Europeans and Americans are unwilling to do. It's fun."

Through the dialogue, he subtly mentioned the wafer, and also fully demonstrated the advantages of his company.

Sure enough, Grove became interested: "You also know wafers?"

Wang Lindao: "Wafer refers to the silicon wafer used to make silicon semiconductor circuits. The raw material is silicon. High-purity polysilicon is dissolved and mixed with silicon crystal seeds, and then slowly pulled out to form cylindrical monocrystalline silicon. After the silicon ingot is ground, polished, and sliced, it forms a silicon wafer, that is, a wafer."

Grove said: "You really understand it very well! Mr. Wang Lin, have you studied the relevant knowledge?"

Wang Lindao: "I have a technology company under my name, which mainly helps people do wafer foundry, so I know some knowledge in this area. Even if I don't know anything about the relevant knowledge, I am willing to spend Time and energy to understand. One of my elders got sick and had a tumor in his body, so I also learned about medical knowledge, just to find the best treatment plan for the elders.”

Grove was obviously startled: "Really? Your elder also has a tumor in his body?"

When Wang Lin heard what he said, he used the word "also"!

This shows that Wang Lin's memory is correct, Grove also has a tumor!
Wang Lindao: "Yes, very unfortunate."

Grove leaned forward and asked with great interest, "What happened next? What kind of treatment plan did you choose for him?"

All this was fabricated by Wang Lin, so he continued to make up: "At that time, there were three options, one was surgery, the other was radiotherapy, and the third was cryosurgery. I called and made appointments with more authoritative doctors for further diagnosis and consultation. I also studied a large number of medical papers, summarized the data in the papers, and compared the data in different articles. Finally, I chose radiotherapy. I am honored that my choice was right, and my elder is still alive today.”

Grove propped his chin in his hands, nodding from time to time: "Your approach is right. We should be responsible for our lives! Every expert has his own bias or preference, and we must rely on them for treatment, but how to treat? Is it right for you? You have to make this decision yourself!"

Wang Lin tried his best to match his expectations, and portrayed himself as a paranoid man like the other party.

In this way, there will be more resonance between the two, and it will be more cordial.

Wang Lindao: "Mr. Grove, when I was studying semiconductors and wafers, I was honored to read your book: "Physics and Technology of Semiconductor Devices". After arriving in Silicon Valley, the first reason I came to visit you. You are my idol in business and academia.”

Grove laughed.

Wang Lin is too appetizing to him!
He and Wang Lin really hit it off at first sight, it's not too late to meet each other!
Wang Lin saw the other party's relaxed brow, and knew that his tactic had succeeded!

He has successfully approached Grove, and the next step is to see if he can convince the other party to get the order!
