Rekindle 2003

Chapter 888 Coincidence?

"No!"

Zhang Zhongmou suddenly opened his eyes, with a sharp look in his eyes, "Shangyi, it's not that simple!

Qing Yun must have a reason for doing this. He is probably planning something big behind the scenes."

Jiang Shangyi looked at his old partner in front of him with a complicated expression, "But we can't think of it."

Zhang Zhongmou stood up, walked to the window, looked at the scenery outside, and said in a low and powerful voice,
"Shangyi, go make the arrangements. I want to know all of Qingyun's whereabouts and the people he came into contact with during his time on the island.

He can't do these things without reason, we have to find out his real purpose."

After saying that, Zhang Zhongmou returned to his seat with a gloomy face, turned around and looked at the ceiling, while his normal left hand kept tapping on the table.

The rhythm of his fingers tapping on the table became faster and faster, and every sound was like a heavy hammer hitting Jiang Shangyi's heart.

Zhang Zhongmou snorted coldly, his eyes revealing a hint of cruelty, "Shangyi, I am not blinded by anger, but you and I both know what Qingyun wants to do."

Jiang Shangyi stood aside with a serious look on his face. He knew that Zhang Zhongmou's concerns were not unreasonable, so he said,
"Chairman, I understand your concerns. But we must analyze calmly and not let emotions affect our judgment."

Zhang Zhongmou turned his head and looked at him, then threw a cigarette to him with a wry smile, "I was planning to send you over to befriend him, integrate him into our industrial chain, and make him dependent on us.

But now, because of Cheng Jin and Lin Benjian’s incident, it is difficult for us to realize this plan.”

Jiang Shangyi stood up and lit a cigarette for him. He knew the severity of the situation. "Chairman, we must now re-evaluate our relationship with Qingyun and our strategic deployment."

Zhang Zhongmou frowned as he held the cigarette in his hand. His voice suddenly became louder.

"From what happened after Cheng Jin's death, we can see that I was too optimistic before. That kid... I have to say, he is very clear-headed and he is heading in the right direction.

He is developing the semiconductor industry in China, which is undoubtedly a huge challenge for us. We are born to be fierce competitors. "

At this point, he sucked his teeth, his eyes flashing with anger and anxiety, "If I can't figure out his purpose, I won't be able to sleep or eat well!"

Jiang Shangyi nodded to show his understanding, "I'll arrange it right away."

After saying that, he immediately took action, took out his phone to make arrangements, notified his secretary, and went to investigate.

Anyway, for him, it's just a matter of talking and he doesn't have to go there himself.

On the island, many well-known companies have familiar gangster groups.

This is a continuation of historical factors, and the two are interdependent.

To put it bluntly, many political and business celebrities on the island are actually gang members.

He had already arranged people to collect information on Qing Yun's whereabouts, otherwise it would be impossible to know what Qing Yun was doing every day.

In fact, there is no need to wait for a few days. Just wait for someone to sort out the information and you will know. It won’t take much time.

However, while waiting, Zhang Zhongmou and Jiang Shangyi did not rest.

Zhang Zhongmou was hospitalized for several days, which meant he needed to return to work as soon as possible and learn about the company's latest developments.

Jiang Shangyi reported to him on the progress of the company's work in the past few days to ensure that Zhang Zhongmou could quickly grasp the overall situation of the company.

"Chairman, while you were in the hospital, we pushed forward the expansion project of the Hsinchu wafer fab according to the established plan.

Currently, the project progress is in line with expectations, and preliminary construction is expected to be completed by the end of next quarter.”

Jiang Shangyi reported in detail the progress of the company's key projects.

Zhang Zhongmou nodded, his expression serious: "Very good, the expansion of the wafer factory is very important to us, and there can be no delay.

In addition, are there any new developments in the technology research and development department? "

Jiang Shangyi immediately replied: "The technology research and development department has recently made some progress in the preliminary research of 90 nanometer technology. Although it has not yet been a complete breakthrough, the prospects are very optimistic."

Zhang Zhongmou's frown relaxed a little. He was confident in the company's R&D capabilities. "That's good. Sun Yuancheng is a good leader in leading a team."

After Zhang Zhongmou finished speaking, he frowned, snorted coldly, and spoke.

"Does Liang Mengsong really think that we can't eat hairy pigs without Butcher Zheng? Now it seems that even without him, Liang Mengsong, the earth will still turn and the sun will still rise!"

He originally did not listen to Jiang Shangyi's previous advice, thinking that Jiang Shangyi's prediction about Liang Mengsong's behavior was just a means for Jiang Shangyi, as Liang Mengsong's master, to gain benefits for his disciple.

Frankly speaking, Zhang Zhongmou originally thought that with such thorough arrangements, Liang Mengsong would be forced to accept the status quo and would have no choice but to stay in Yiji Electric.

He didn't necessarily have to drive Liang Mengsong away.

However, he felt that Liang Mengsong needed to be tamed like a hawk, otherwise he would never put Liang Mengsong in a high position.

But Liang Mengsong, who had no way out, was so stubborn!

He just paid the penalty and left, without even giving me a chance to stay, and went straight to travel to New Zealand.

This made Zhang Zhongmou very angry.

He knew Liang Mengsong's abilities and his genius in manufacturing processes.

Liang Mengsong can always find possible paths in impossible situations and achieve his strategic goals.

But he just didn't like Liang Mengsong's arrogant and unruly character.

Zhang Zhongmou recalled that during the process of conquering the copper manufacturing process, he once had a late-night social event and drank a little too much. He suddenly had an idea and went to the R&D center of IJIC to personally boost morale.

When he entered the building, he saw rows of focused faces and computer screens flashing data. He walked through the office area quietly, nodding to the employees he met from time to time. He did not announce his arrival in advance, and he hoped it would be a surprise.

However, when he walked into the laboratory where Liang Mengsong's project team was located, he was surprised to see that Liang Mengsong was standing among a group of researchers, discussing a technical problem. Their expressions were focused and tense, and they did not notice Zhang Zhongmou's arrival at all.

At that time, Zhang Zhongmou interrupted their discussion and said that they had been working too hard and came to visit everyone.

He meant well, but he was drunk and his words were incoherent. But he knew that this was a drama of the chairman revealing his true feelings after a late night social event.

What he never expected was that Liang Mengsong said this in front of everyone, "Chairman, you are drunk. If you really want to help us, please let us concentrate on our work and don't distract us at this time."

Zhang Zhongmou felt unprecedented embarrassment at that time.

This incident left a deep impression on Zhang Zhongmou.

Essentially, they are not good at teamwork!
To put it bluntly, Liang Mengsong did not understand his intentions, or he was too disdainful to understand his intentions.

How could a person in his thirties or forties not know some tactful ways to deal with things?

Then what's the point of keeping it?
Are you waiting to be beaten to the ground in the future?

Now judging from the results, although Liang Mengsong’s departure brought some fluctuations to the company, it did not affect the company’s overall R&D progress.

This proves that his conclusion is correct.

Jiang Shangyi didn't know what to say. The 90nm process was a relatively mature process, and many companies in the industry had already started preliminary research on this technology.

IMC initially gambled on 65nm and directly gave up on 90nm.

Now that the route has been blocked and restarted, there are already a lot of references. Under such circumstances, it would be strange if Sun Yuancheng had not made any progress.

Jiang Shangyi responded softly, "Chairman, under the leadership of Sun Yuancheng, the technical team has gradually adapted to the new work rhythm.

Although Liang Mengsong's departure has caused us to lose a technical leader, our R&D capabilities have not been damaged and the team's morale is high."

Zhang Zhongmou nodded. He had confidence in Jiang Shangyi's leadership ability and believed that Sun Yuancheng could lead the team to overcome this difficulty.

After closing the folder, Zhang Zhongmou turned his attention back to the turned-off TV.

As the chairman, what he needs to focus on is strategy rather than specific tactics. He just needs to listen to the noise of technological progress.

Zhang Zhongmou pressed the remote control to turn on the TV, and the news broadcast immediately appeared on the screen.

At this moment, the latest developments in the corporate espionage case between VIA Technologies and D-Link Electronics are being broadcast on TV, as well as various famous commentators sitting together to analyze and discuss the incident.

Looking at the endless discussions of the so-called experts and analysts on the screen, Zhang Zhongmou sneered, "The island is really too small."

He had seen this incident when he was in the hospital. Now it has become a feast for the media, being discussed over and over again every day.

He was not interested in these discussions. It was fine in the hospital, just for fun, but now that he had returned to work, it was a pure waste of time.

Shaking his head, he turned off the TV again and asked Jiang Shangyi,
"Shangyi, let's get back to Qingyun's meeting with Wang Yongqing. Inferring from the result, why did VIA Technologies make such a sudden move?"

He remembered very clearly that the day after Qing Yun's meeting with Wang Yongqing and his daughter, the media broke the news that VIA Technologies had reported to the police that an internal employee had stolen secrets.

Later, D-Link Electronics broke the news that VIA Technologies did this on purpose, and the two companies started a fight that turned into a mess.

but……

"Shangyi, tell me, why did this happen the day after the meeting?
Is it a coincidence? Or... is this part of their secret conversation?"

Jiang Shangyi pondered for a moment. He knew very well that Zhang Zhongmou was not asking for his opinion, but was just talking to himself.

But if we continue thinking along this line, then...

This is really possible!

While he was still thinking, Zhang Zhongmou closed his eyes and continued his reasoning, with a hint of inquiry in his tone.
“Is it possible that the statement made by D-Link regarding the VIA and D-Link incident is actually true?

In other words, VIA first sent Zhang Zhihao to steal D-Link's technology, and now they don't know how they found out that D-Link was investigating the matter, so Wang Xuehong and the others took the initiative to protect themselves and staged a self-destruction here?"

Jiang Shangyi looked at Zhang Zhongmou suspiciously and asked, "Chairman, do you suspect that Qingyun reported this to VIA?"

Zhang Zhongmou was silent for a while, then said calmly, "Shangyi, to be honest, I don't know if this guess is correct.

But if we follow this logic, we can now figure out all the problems that we couldn't explain before.

If so, then this is most likely the truth.”

Jiang Shangyi frowned in doubt.

So, the question is, how did Qingyun know about this?

So can we conclude that the country’s intelligence capabilities here are already very strong?

However, although!
This is a matter concerning people’s livelihood!

Are we going to fight an economic integration war?
It doesn't make sense.

But Jiang Shangyi also knew that he could not rule out this possibility.

I don’t want to think too much about it.

Because whether the two sides maintain the status quo or break the status quo has nothing to do with him.

But following Zhang Zhongmou's train of thought, Jiang Shangyi was suddenly shocked, "So, can we assume that during this meeting, Yanhuang Group and VIA Technologies have reached some kind of cooperation?"

Zhang Zhongmou opened his eyes, nodded, and said with a serious expression, "I don't rule out this possibility.

The most important thing is that Wang Yongqing is an old fox, he will not meet Qingyun for no reason. "

At this point, he paused and continued, "VIA Electronics is a design company. They don't have their own wafer fab, so we do the wafer manufacturing.

So, Shangyi, do you think Wang Xuehong will transfer our orders to UMC because of her partnership with Qingyun?"
