Chapter 290 "The Great Development of Saigon"

When Intel's wafer foundry model came out, semiconductor companies were shocked.

As soon as the press conference was over, countless people came to the door, almost breaking the threshold of Intel Corporation.

When TSMC was established in the previous life, the response was mediocre, and it was even questioned.TSMC can’t give other semiconductor companies too much discount, it has developed slowly step by step, and Intel was originally an industry giant, and also used a lot of advanced machinery and equipment, which has too many advantages over TSMC in the previous life , It is much cheaper to hand over chips to Intel for production than other semiconductor companies themselves, which makes many semiconductor companies very excited.

Of course, these semiconductor companies will all face a very embarrassing problem. It seems that the fabs they invested in can stop working.

With the increase in business volume, Intel will definitely increase the scale of the fab in the future, and this time will undoubtedly give Intel a chance to pick up a bargain.

Just imagine, anyway, the fabs of other companies are not in operation, so it is better to sell it to Intel at a low price.

When Andy Grove was discussing cooperation with representatives of other companies, he naturally brought up the idea of ​​acquiring their fabs or purchasing their machinery and equipment. Some machinery and equipment can still be used.

If Intel doesn't do this, other companies will eventually do so and become another "TSMC".

In order to stifle competitors, Intel will naturally not give other companies this opportunity.

……

The popularity of Intel's foundry business was beyond Li Zetian's expectations. Li Zetian ordered Zhang Zhongmou to expand the fab in Hong Kong again to form a super-large-scale foundry. At the same time, he also established a chip packaging and testing factory. , so that one step in place, one-stop service!

There is also an ant factory in Shenzhen, and the chips produced in Hong Kong can be shipped to Shenzhen, where they can be quickly assembled into products, reducing transportation costs and time.

The Ant Factory is equivalent to Foxconn, and the Intel foundry is equivalent to TSMC.It is not difficult to imagine that Hong Kong and Shenzhen will become the production centers of global technology products in the future.

Li Zetian's great contribution and influence to China are by no means what ordinary businessmen can achieve.

At this moment, Hong Kong citizens are beginning to realize that Hong Kong's economy is not limited to real estate, finance, trade, transportation, and tourism, but now also has high technology and manufacturing.

In fact, when an influential company settles in a certain place, it often attracts other companies to settle in.

Intel, Microsoft, Apple, Oracle, Sun Microsystems, Mango, Gene Technology, Yinhe Network and other companies have established branches and Asian R&D centers in the Science Park. Those companies that want to seek cooperation, do you think they will come to the Science Park? starting a company?
The Hong Kong media can't help calling the area where the science and technology park is located, that is, "Hong Kong Saigon", "Hong Kong Silicon Valley"!
In a blink of an eye it will be the end of March.

Li Zetian finally negotiated with the Hong Kong Telephone Company, and finally acquired the Hong Kong Telephone Company wholly for US$45 billion.

After the news came out, there was a sensation in Hong Kong, but people knew that Li Zetian would definitely successfully acquire the Hong Kong Telephone Company. There was no suspense about this, after all, he was too rich.

After taking down the Hong Kong Telephone Company, Li Zetian was very happy and full of ambition.

At this time, the Hong Kong government held a banquet, proposed the "Saigon Development" project, and invited him to participate!

Li Zetian was naturally invited to participate.

Sai Kung is known as the back garden of Hong Kong because most of the area has not been developed, and many places still retain beautiful natural scenery.Now, with the high-tech industry taking root and sprouting here, the great development of Saigon is very necessary.

The banquet was held on the top floor of the Peninsula Hotel, and most of the big names in Hong Kong were present.

However, when Li Zetian pushed the door and walked out, the whole banquet scene suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked at him.

"It's Chronos Li, he's here!!!"

People were surprised.

After several seconds, everyone immediately stepped forward to greet Li Zetian as if they were the most precious guests.

Li Zetian's wealth and influence put them out of reach. They seem to be dwarves who can only stand at the foot of the mountain and look up at the figure of a giant!

"Hello, Chronos Li!"

"Hello, Chronos Li!"

"..."

Li Zetian kept a faint smile on his face, and nodded slightly at them as a greeting.

"Chronos Li, you can come to the banquet, it really makes this place flourish! There will be a lot of land bidding for the Saigon development, I think you are bound to win!"

At this time, the charter king who is more important in Hong Kong said to Li Zetian with a smile.

Li Zetian said with a smile: "Charter King, you are just kidding. Saigon is greatly developed, and there are many opportunities. If you have money, everyone can earn it together. Do I seem to be the kind of person who likes to eat alone?"

"Hehe, of course not!" The chartered boat king showed a smile on his face, and he said this, but he really wanted to say in his heart, you are a solitary eater at all...

At this time, the Guo Bingxiang brothers of Sun Hung Kai Properties, Lee Shau Kee of Henderson Land, the Kadoorie family of Peninsula Hotel, Swire Group Swire, Guo Henian of Shangri-La, and Li Jiacheng of Cheung Kong Industries also came over to say hello to Li Zetian.

These people are all well-known figures in Hong Kong. If they stomp their feet, Hong Kong will be shaken.

Some young people who came with their elders couldn't help being envious when they saw Li Zetian talking and laughing happily with these big men.

"Chronos Li is not a few years older than me, but he is on an equal footing with the top families in Hong Kong. No, he should have a higher status. Look at all these people revolving around him. When will I become like him, even if it is only half of it? good……"

After a while, lights appeared on the stage, and a potbellied official stepped onto the stage.

"Hi everyone, welcome to this banquet. I think everyone should have received the news. Yes, that's right, the Hong Kong government is preparing to carry out the Saigon Development. This banquet is just a press meeting to inform everyone that the real bidding It will be one month later. However, I have the information on the content of the bidding here, and you can take it back and study it."

After speaking, the four beautiful models took the information and sent a copy to everyone present.

The official continued: "The Saigon Development Project is very huge. This is not a project that one company can afford. We have gathered everyone here today to exchange ideas and work together in the future. Okay, I won't say much more." , everyone, enjoy this dinner to the fullest!"

Li Zetian was sitting in the corner drinking red wine while looking at the bidding content, his face was quite surprised, "It really is a huge project, very ambitious! If it continues like this, Saigon, Hong Kong will prosper!!"
