Huayu since 1980

Chapter 889 500 Billion Investment

Zhou Tao and Zhang Yimou naturally knew each other.

When Zhou Tao first arrived in Yanjing, the two had already known each other, but later Zhou Tao went to Xiangjiang under the arrangement of Wu Jianye, and now he has become the person in charge of the largest consortium in Xiangjiang, and Zhang Yimou has also gradually become the leader of the Xiangjiang consortium. One of the most famous directors in the country.

Zhou Tao smiled and said, "Yes, I just came here too, it's been a long time since I've seen you!"

It is true that the two haven't seen each other for a long time, mainly because they are not in the same circle, or even two circles that are very different from each other.

There is still a big difference between now and later generations. The business leaders of later generations like to sing songs and make movies. In addition, at that time, the entire entertainment industry has become the most important economic pillar in the country. The entertainment industry in this It does not only refer to traditional movies, TV, and music, but also includes live broadcast, short video and other businesses.

Therefore, business leaders have more contact with the entertainment industry, but it is different now, the current entertainment circle is still in a low-level industry chain, the so-called actors and directors are nothing more than actors in front of real capital.

To really make star directors popular, we have to wait until the entertainment company goes public. During that time, among the entertainment stars, many billionaires have been created, so that the small group of people who are at the top of the pyramid in this group have have a certain right to speak.

If it weren't for Wu Jianye, Zhou Tao and Zhang Yimou probably wouldn't have had the chance to get to know each other!

"Old Wu, Weiping is leaving tomorrow, and Zhou Tao is also here, so let's go out to eat tonight!" Zhang Yimou said enthusiastically.

Zhang Weiping on the side was also looking forward to it. Luo Ziyu's appearance raised a lot of doubts in his heart. What's more, what is between Luo Ziyu and Wu Jianye and a man who just knew his name is Lao Zhou? Such a relationship made Zhang Weiping even more curious.

So he also wanted to use this meal to investigate.

Wu Jianye shook his head with a smile, and said: "Let's forget it, Zhou Tao finally came here, and I still have something to discuss. When I return to Yanjing, I will invite Mr. Zhang as the host!"

When Zhang Yimou heard that Wu Jianye had something to do, he had to say with some regret: "Well, let's wait for the future!"

Knowing that Zhou Tao had something to chat with Wu Jianye, Zhang Yimou didn't stay long, and took Zhang Weiping out of Wu Jianye's room.

"Yimou, who is this Zhou Tao? Why do you look so familiar?" After leaving Wu Jianye's room, Zhang Weiping finally couldn't help his curiosity and asked Zhang Yimou.

Zhang Yimou replied directly: "Oh, you said Lao Zhou, he is Lao Wu's childhood friend. We met each other when we were in school, but I heard that he went to Xiangjiang to do business. I haven't seen him for a long time. We meet!"

boom!
Zhang Weiping suddenly connected everything. Zhang Weiping knew that Tunan Technology was a subsidiary of Xiangjiang Yaoguang Group when he was working in Siemens.

Now there is really no one who does business in China who does not know Yaoguang Group. As the group company with the largest investment in the country by the Xiangjiang Consortium, everyone naturally knows it.

As the CEO of Yaoguang Group, Zhou Tao, everyone has heard of it, but at the beginning Zhang Weiping had no way to connect them together. The most profound, after all, Zhao Lei, as the representative of Yaoguang Group, has lived in Yanjing all year round.

And Zhou Tao is a bit worse, although he will often come to Yanjing, but more for the development of the entire group and the meeting with the upper class, or to meet Wu Jianye alone. As for the businessmen of Yanjing, he Haven't really touched a few.

Now hearing what Zhang Yimou said, Zhang Weiping understood everything.

However, this understanding still has some discounts.

For example, within the scope of Zhang Weiping's understanding, he knew why Wu Jianye could invest in his own movie so recklessly.

In the past, many people thought that the reason why Wu Jianye was able to invest so much in his own movies was more because of the salary he got for filming movies in Hollywood. Now it seems that Wu Jianye can be so rich, in fact Supported by Zhou Tao.

Backed by Xiangjiang's Yaoguang Group, Wu Jianye can shoot any kind of movie.

"Yimou, how is your relationship with this Zhou Tao?" Zhang Weiping immediately wanted to get in touch with Zhou Tao through Zhang Yimou's relationship.

Zhang Yimou said: "We don't have a deep relationship, we met through Old Wu, what's wrong?"

Zhang Weiping said: "It's nothing, I just think that since we are all friends, we should get in touch more in the future!"

Although Zhang Yimou is not very good at getting along with people, it doesn't mean he doesn't understand the worldly ways. After hearing Zhang Weiping's words, he actually understood what Zhang Weiping meant. After thinking about it, he didn't say anything.

At this time, Zhang Weiping was also thinking about how to get in touch with Zhou Tao through Zhang Yimou's relationship, and did not notice Zhang Yimou's abnormality.

The two came to the restaurant of the hotel silently all the way.

"Is it really necessary to invest on such a scale domestically?"

At this time, in Wu Jianye's room, Zhou Tao asked Wu Jianye curiously.

This time Zhou Tao and Luo Ziyu came to Hengdian because of a phone call from Wu Jianye, during which Wu Jianye asked Zhou Tao to officially expand the scale of Tunan in China.

And it is not a small-scale increase in investment, but a direct additional investment of 500 billion yuan!
With such a large-scale investment, Zhou Tao naturally wanted to ask Wu Jianye about his intentions. This time, not only Zhou Tao came over, but even Luo Ziyu, the general manager of Tunan Technology, also brought him here. This shows that Zhou Tao is very serious about this matter. Take it seriously!
And Wu Jianye asked Tunan Technology to make such a large-scale investment in China, which is actually an investment in three aspects.

One of them is naturally the research and development of semiconductors. Although Tunan Technology has developed at an astonishing speed in the past few years, in fact, the investment in research and development is also appalling.

As a reborn person, Wu Jianye is very aware of how important semiconductors will be to a technology company in the future technology era.

In order to control fate in his own hands, Wu Jianye does not want to be restricted by others in the future.

Currently, the three most successful semiconductor companies in the world are Intel in the United States, Samsung in Bangzi, and Tunan Technology in Xiangjiang.

As for TSMC in Taiwan, it is still seeking development in foundry.

Originally, RB's semiconductor technology was the best in Asia, but RB's company lacked financial support and leaders' persistence, so it was surpassed by Samsung and Tunan Technology two years ago.

In this industry, there is only one way, and that is to use money to kill the opponent, or the opponent will use the money to kill the opponent!

Fortunately, Tunan Technology does not lack financial support, and is even the least short of money among the three companies!

Especially in the breakthrough of memory technology, Tunan Technology and Samsung launched the world's first 64M DRAM almost at the same time two years ago, both surpassed RB's NEC, and this year both parties will also launch 256M DRAM in order to seize the market.

In order to fight against the squeeze from Tunan Technology and Samsung, the RB government will integrate the DRAM business of Hitachi, NEC, and Mitsubishi to form a "national team" Elpida to seek confrontation.

Even so, the RB people did not escape the fate of the rout.

What Wu Jianye has to do is to continue to seize the market with Samsung.

What Wu Jianye has to do now is to quickly accumulate his own patents while these industries are still in their infancy, and at the same time increase his bargaining chips. Only in this way can he occupy a certain right to speak in the future business competition.

The second aspect is the development of lithography machines. This is also an extremely expensive industry, but it is also a job that has to be done. Fortunately, when the Soviet Union disintegrated, Wu Jianye represented Tunan Technology to acquire All the technologies and talents of the Lebedev Institute in this field.

As for the third aspect, it is about the research of liquid crystal technology!
In fact, in 1984, Samsung had already tracked liquid crystal technology, established its own panel business department in 91, and established its first trial production line that year.

Tunan Technology established its own panel business department earlier than Samsung, and it was established in 90. However, the panel business department has not earned a penny for Tunan Technology so far. Losing money at a rate of $1 million.

In this regard, many people in Tunan Technology have suggested that the panel business department should be removed, but under the strong intervention of Wu Jianye, the panel business department was finally saved, and the additional investment is still continued!
This is a gesture of breaking the boat, and it is precisely because of this that Tunan Technology has been ridiculed by many similar companies.

However, this did not shake Wu Jianye's determination.

LCD screens will become the most important business strategy map in the world after the 21st century.

And this year Wu Jianye finally decided to move all these manufacturers to China!

Although he had his own production line in China before, it didn't really scale up. Now Wu Jianye is going to integrate these technologies!

In addition to these, Tunan Technology will also increase the research and development of GSM technology. With the rapid development of mobile phones, GSM technology has become the top priority of major mobile phone manufacturers.

"Director Wu, I admit that domestic labor costs and policies are superior to Xiangjiang's, but if we do this, we will face very serious problems, and even be resisted by most countries! "As the general manager of Tunan Technology, Luo Ziyu naturally knows what Wu Jianye's decision means to Tunan Technology!
Wu Jianye laughed and said, "It's nothing more than that the sales of our products in Europe and the United States have been hit to a certain extent!"

Wu Jianye is naturally very clear about the consequences of doing so, but this does not shake Wu Jianye's determination.

"We can't give up our own development plan because some countries suppress us. As long as our technology is always at the top of the world, then no matter who suppresses us, we can handle it. As for the company's You don't have to worry about the loss, I can still afford to pay for it!"

Luo Ziyu was a little speechless, is this the money?
If my estimate is correct, as long as this news is released, Tunan Technology will lose at least 20 billion U.S. dollars a year. Such a loss is not something ordinary people can afford!
Zhou Tao also said: "Can we take it step by step and set up an LCD business department in China first, and when the time is right, we can move other businesses to China?"

Wu Jianye waved his hand and said, "No need, I've already decided, this matter must be done in one step now, otherwise it will be even more troublesome in the future!"

Zhou Tao is still fighting for it: "But now our mobile phones and computers have just gained a foothold in Europe and the United States, and now these two regions are also the two largest markets in the world. If we lose these two markets, it will be a big problem for Tunan Technology What a huge loss!"

Wu Jianye said: "There will definitely be losses, but they won't be as big as you said. As long as we protect our own patented technology, we can maintain most of our market in this battle. As those foreign companies in the future need our technology more and more, they will definitely let go of certain restrictions on our products!"

Zhou Tao saw that Wu Jianye was so firm in his thoughts, so he had no choice but to say: "If this is the case, I suggest separating Tunan Technology from Yaoguang Group. After all, many companies under Yaoguang Group are in great need of European and American companies. market, we cannot allow the entire group to suffer these blows because of one Tunan technology!"

Now Yaoguang Group does have many industries that need the European and American markets, so Wu Jianye also knew Zhou Tao's intentions and said, "I have no opinion on this."

"And if you want to do this, you must get a certain degree of help from the state. Have you talked about this with the upper management?" Zhou Tao continued to ask.

The investment of 500 billion yuan is definitely considered a super investment in China at this time, and the various issues involved in it really need the support of domestic high-level officials.

Wu Jianye said: "I have talked to the upper management on the phone before, and they are very welcome to our investment. This time I called you here for this matter. After we decide, you can go to Yanjing Talk to the higher-ups about this!"

Seeing that Wu Jianye had arranged everything, Zhou Tao no longer objected, but this did not mean that he had no doubts in his mind.

So that night, Zhou Tao and Luo Ziyu stayed in Wu Jianye's room to discuss this matter with him in detail. As for Zhao Fei, who lived with Wu Jianye before, he was driven to Zhang Yimou's room.

The three discussed for most of the night, but they didn't finish talking about everything. In fact, Zhou Tao and Luo Ziyu stayed in Hengdian for three days, and they would discuss the specific execution plan of this matter with Wu Jianye almost every night. .

This is an investment involving 500 billion RMB, which cannot be resolved in a few words.

It was not until three days later that the three separated. Zhou Tao flew directly to Yanjing, while Luo Ziyu flew back to Xiangjiang to prepare for the next series of actions of Tunan Technology!
