Rekindle 2003

Chapter 889 Are you sure it was Qingyun who did it?
'Will Wang Xuehong transfer our orders to UMC because of her partnership with Qingyun?'

Jiang Shangyi was suddenly startled and realized the seriousness of the problem.

It's not a question of whether or not.

This is inevitable!
The Yanhuang Group, whose main business is PC assembly, and VIA Technologies, whose main business is the production of chipsets and motherboards, have a natural basis for cooperation.

Although VIA has been in a clear downturn in the past two years, as a world-class chip company, VIA's order volume is the mainstay of TSMC.

Moreover, once the two are connected, judging from the current situation, VIA will return to the top with the cooperation with Yanhuang Group.

After all, the Chinese market is not small, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that as time goes by, the business of PC assembly will inevitably shift to China, which has a complete industrial base and low labor costs.

UMC has always been the main competitor of IMC Semiconductor for orders on the island, and Wang Yongqing owns shares in both IMC and UMC, so it is reasonable for him to give the orders to one company and not the other.

If Wang Xuehong transfers the order for the sake of cooperation with Yanhuang Group...

Even if it is only the current incremental part, it will be enough to cause trouble for Yiji Semiconductor.

It's dying.

At this moment, the tense atmosphere in Zhang Zhongmou's office was almost palpable, as if even the oxygen in the air had become thin.

Jiang Shangyi's expression gradually changed from initial shock to solemnity, "Chairman, if this is true, the impact on us will be fatal.

Once VIA's orders are transferred, our capacity utilization rate will drop significantly, which will directly affect our profitability and market position."

Zhang Zhongmou's expression also became solemn. This was what he was most worried about.

Moreover, it seems that this is the most likely scenario at the moment.

Zhang Zhongmou paced in the office. His leather shoes made a dull echo on the carpet, and each step seemed unusually heavy.

His brows were furrowed, and his eyes revealed anxiety and thought, as if he was repeatedly weighing various possible countermeasures in his mind.

After pondering for a long time, he finally stopped and made a decision.

Turning around, he looked into Jiang Shangyi's eyes and spoke in a deep and powerful voice.
“Shangyi, go and prepare. Go to Huaguo in person to visit Qingyun and explain Lin Benjian’s situation to see if you can save the situation.

It is better to resolve a feud than to create one. I will swallow this anger."

He thought about it for a long time and decided that the person who tied the bell should be the one to untie it. As long as he improved his relationship with Qing Yun, VIA Electronics would have no reason to transfer the order.

Jiang Shangyi felt a little embarrassed when he heard this.

He knew that this mission was not easy, and he spoke with a constipated look on his face, "Chairman, I'm afraid that even if we explain the situation, Qingyun will not accept it.

The main thing is, it's just empty talk... I'm afraid there's no way to settle the matter peacefully, right?

Our relationship with the Yanhuang Group has become delicate because of the previous incident."

What he actually wanted to say was that they were almost becoming mortal enemies.

If I don't give Qingyun a piece of meat, how could others let go?

And in the final analysis, Cheng Jin's matter was easy to explain. The worst that could happen was to let Qing Yun investigate. They had no reason to touch Cheng Jin in the first place.

Besides, there was no deep hatred between the two families. The reason why there was such a big fuss this time was entirely due to Zhang Zhongmou's conspiracy.

Zhang Zhongmou sighed, a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes, "I know it's difficult, but we have to try. We can't just give up. The order from VIA Technologies is too important to us."

At this point, he curled his lips and said, "Aren't they going to get into semiconductors? We will open up our Jianye plant shares to them and allow them to learn our full set of 350nm process technology."

Jiang Shangyi was stunned for a moment, then spoke in confusion, "Chairman, this is technology from 10 years ago."

Zhang Zhongmou snorted coldly: "That's still five generations more advanced than their current 3-micron technology in China! It's really a bargain for them.

Besides, no matter how advanced the craftsmanship is, it still violates America’s agreement.”

Jiang Shangyi thought about it and it was true. For China, 350nm was already very advanced.

He nodded to show his understanding: "Chairman, I understand. Although this technology is already backward for us, it is indeed a huge leap for China's semiconductor industry."

Zhang Zhongmou said in a deep voice: "Shangyi, this is not a simple technology transfer, this is a chess piece for us in the Chinese market.

Through this collaboration, we can establish a deeper connection with Yanhuang Group, and also take this opportunity to improve our relationship with Qingyun.”

At this point, his neck twitched. "Let's see if it's possible to dispel Qing Yun's possibility of going into wafer manufacturing."

Jiang Shangyi was also a little speechless after hearing this, "I can only try. Chairman, Qingyun...is not short of money..."

Zhang Zhongmou also knew that what he said was unreasonable.

Fudan University established the School of Integrated Circuits and appointed Zhang Rujing as the dean. Qingyun is clearly planning to move in this direction.

Moreover, as Jiang Shangyi said, that evil creature is not short of money at all.

So……

Zhang Zhongmou's eyes suddenly condensed, as if two flames were burning in his pupils, "Then let him be short of people!"

His voice was low and powerful, and every word he said was like a hammer hitting every corner of the office.

Zhang Zhongmou paced around the office, his steps revealing a sense of urgency and anxiety, his eyes gleaming fiercely, like a beast looking for prey.

"I will ask all companies in the industry to strengthen personnel control. We must not allow Qingyun to poach people from the island, especially core talents in the process."

His words revealed an unquestionable determination, as if he had already laid a dragnet in his heart, vowing to nip Qing Yun's ambition in the bud.

At this moment, there was a knock on the office door. Jiang Shangyi's secretary stood at the door, holding a folder tightly in his hand. He looked a little nervous, even a little panicked.
"Chairman, President Jiang, this is Qingyun's whereabouts report."

If a male leader employs a male secretary, then this secretary must be extremely capable.

Jiang Shangyi's chief secretary will most likely become a senior executive of the company in the future. He has gained many years of experience to reach this position and usually does not show such a panicked look.

Knowing that something bad might have happened, Jiang Shangyi quickly took the folder and eagerly flipped through its contents.

However, as his eyes quickly swept over the documents, his hands began to tremble involuntarily, and eventually, the folder slipped due to his trembling hands, and with a "pop" sound, the documents scattered all over the floor.

The secretary hurried to pick it up.

Zhang Zhongmou's heart tightened when he saw this. He knew that something must have happened to make Jiang Shangyi, who was always calm, lose his composure. He quickly asked,

"What did that beast do?"

Jiang Shangyi took a deep breath, trying to calm himself, then took the folder from the secretary and looked at it carefully.

After confirming it, he slowly began to speak.

"Chairman, according to the intelligence, there is nothing unusual about Qing Yun's schedule and the people he came into contact with, but..."

Jiang Shangyi's voice trembled with disbelief. He faced Zhang Zhongmou with deep worry in his eyes.

"However, on the afternoon of October 10, Liang Mengsong and his family left the island, and his property on the island was also urgently sold."

Zhang Zhongmou frowned upon hearing this. This...

What's the big deal?
He even wanted to laugh a little.

This old partner really values ​​talent.

But in a blink of an eye, he understood and said angrily, "October 10? That is, the day after Qingyun and Wang Yongqing had a secret meeting? Is there a connection between them?"

Jiang Shangyi nodded and said helplessly, "The intelligence didn't say it clearly.

But according to information obtained by the Sihai Gang from Liang Mengsong’s neighbors, Liang Mengsong was picked up by several vehicles at noon on October 10 and was not sent back until the next morning. Then at noon, his family dragged their suitcases and said they were going to travel abroad.

Zhang Zhongmou was silent.

Liang Mengsong just came back from a trip to New Zealand, and he’s going traveling again in just two days?

No wonder the neighbors are curious!

No wonder Jiang Shangyi lost his composure just now.

but……

"Are you sure it was Qingyun who did it?"

Zhang Zhongmou's question made Jiang Shangyi smile bitterly, "Liang Mengsong's property was commissioned for sale on October 10. Xiao Luo just found out that the buyer is Qing Yun."

Zhang Zhongmou's face instantly became as gloomy as the haze before a storm, and there seemed to be burning anger in his eyes.

"To the north!"

He burst out with swear words.

This news was like a bolt from the blue, making Zhang Zhongmou feel dizzy.

He knew the value of Liang Mengsong. He was not only a talent, but also a treasure cultivated by Yiji Dian over many years.

He can choose not to do so, or he can endure Liang Mengsong for a year or two like a hawk.

But now, this treasure was quietly taken away by his opponent right under his nose.

Zhang Zhongmou's face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could be squeezed out of it. He clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms, but he didn't feel any pain at all.
"This beast is so fast! And so cruel!"

Jiang Shangyi was also helpless. He had originally planned to wait for some time until Liang Mengsong had calmed down, and then persuade Zhang Zhongmou to invite Liang Mengsong back.

He knew Liang Mengsong's character very well. His relatives were Liang Mengsong's weak spot. When it came to matters involving his relatives, Liang Mengsong would usually be hesitant.

But this time he was so decisive and fled back to the country overnight, which showed that Qing Yun had definitely made a big bet, leaving Liang Mengsong with no worries at all.

It seems that what is said on the Internet is absolutely correct. President Xiaoqing is really generous to his employees.

"This little bastard, he is challenging our bottom line!" Zhang Zhongmou slammed his fist on the desk angrily, and the documents and teacups on the desk jumped up, making a chaotic noise.

Jiang Shangyi bent down carefully, picked up the scattered folders with trembling fingers, and handed them back to Zhang Zhongmou.

"It's okay, Chairman, don't worry too much.

Liang Mengsong has a non-compete agreement and cannot work for Yanhuang Group for eight years. "

His voice was comforting, but also tinged with uncertainty.

"What's the use? That's in China!"

Zhang Zhongmou's roar was like a sudden thunder, exploding in the office, causing pain in the eardrums of Jiang Shangyi and Secretary Luo at the door.

"In other countries, this agreement may be binding and can deter others, but in China, it is just a piece of waste paper!"

As he roared, he beat his chest angrily, as if this could ease the pain in his heart.

"This Liang Mengsong knows every detail and every secret of our manufacturing process!" Zhang Zhongmou's eyes were almost spitting fire, "If he leaves, all our core secrets will be exposed!"

Zhang Zhongmou actually knew too well the role of Liang Mengsong.

Among the so-called Six Knights of IJIC, Liang Mengsong seems to be a process specialist and not as comprehensive as the others, but this just shows the difficulty of the sector he is in charge of.

It’s just that Yiji Electric has many talented people, so Liang Mengsong’s value has been overshadowed.

Because of the manufacturing process, everyone else can be involved, but they just don’t delve as deeply into it as Liang Mengsong.

Therefore, in Yiji Electric, Liang Mengsong is not irreplaceable.

However, Liang Mengsong, who specializes in process technology, only needs to recruit a few generally capable people in other sectors to completely replicate Yiji Semiconductor's existing full set of processes.

This is the most disgusting place!
When Jiang Shangyi heard this, his face instantly lost color and he realized the seriousness of the problem.

If Liang Mengsong runs to the mainland, they will be completely helpless at the legal level because the laws of the island are inherently inapplicable in the mainland!
A feeling of powerlessness welled up in his heart, as if he was watching the company's future being stripped away bit by bit.

As Liang Mengsong's master, he is very clear about Liang Mengsong's abilities.

He knew what it would mean to Yiji Dian if Liang Mengsong really defected to the opponent.

Liang Mengsong can replicate a Yiji Dian in a very short time.
