Perfection of Rebirth

Chapter 840 Persuasion

The fortress is always the easiest to break through from the inside. This saying is true no matter whether it is in the past, the present, or the future.

From Xu Tiancai's mouth, Jiang Hui learned about a more realistic Jiang Shangyi.

"Mr. Jiang, President Jiang retired from TSMC. In addition to being 60 years old, the most important thing is that he wants to go home to take care of his elderly father, so if you want to invite him out of the mountain, you must solve this worry," Xu Tiancai said. .

"Shenzhen City itself has a good level of medical care, and it is also adjacent to the Hong Kong port. We can move at any time under any circumstances. I will arrange special doctors and nanny to take care of Jiang's father." Jiang Hui listened to Xu Tiancai's suggestion seriously.

Jiang Shangyi retired at the age of 60, which shows that he is not a person who loves power.

However, he accepted SMIC's invitation as an independent director in later generations, which shows that he does not want to completely fade out of the semiconductor circle after he retires.

So as long as he solves his worries and finds what he really cares about, it is not impossible for Jiang Shangyi to enter the Guanghui Group.

Especially as a newcomer in the chip industry, Korn Ferry Group will not pose any threat to TSMC for at least five years, and it also solves Jiang Shangyi's worry that he will be labeled a "traitor" when he joins Korn Ferry Group.

"At Mr. Jiang's age, money and rights should not be the most important things for him. We still have to consider convincing him from the perspective of feelings," Xu Tiancai continued to give his advice.

"I prepared a Gphone2 prototype and a Gpad2 prototype of Guanghui mobile phone as a gift. Using this as a medium and introducing his purpose of developing core components, it must be able to arouse some other ideas in him."

……

The next day, because Xu Tiancai's uncle was in the middle, Jiang Shangyi also knew that Xu Tiancai was a junior, so Jiang Hui directly took Shan Yu, Xu Tiancai, and Liao Yun to the coffee shop next to Jiang Shangyi's house.

But Zeng Qingying, Dai Fugan and others went to contact Liang Mengsong.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Jiang Shangyi appeared at the agreed place.

It can be seen that when he was young, he should also be a handsome man, full of elegance.

"Mr. Jiang, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Jiang of the Guanghui Group. The Guanghui Group has a series of products such as Guanghui Mobile, Xiaonei, Meituan.com, Tudou, Guanghui Games, Guanghui Film and Television, and Guanghui Weibo. It is the largest Internet company in China," Xu Tiancai, as a middleman, began to introduce the two parties.

"Mr. Jiang, this is Mr. Jiang, the vice president of TSMC in charge of R&D."

"Hello Mr. Jiang, I've heard about you for a long time, and I finally met a real person today," Jiang Hui said while shaking hands with Jiang Shangyi.

"Don't worry about Mr. Jiang, that's already in the past tense. I'm just a retired little old man now," Jiang Shangyi waved his hand and said with a smile.

"Then I'll call you Mr. Jiang. In front of you, we are all descendants of the younger generation." Jiang Hui also said with a smile, and asked Mr. Jiang to sit down.

"Young people are awesome. When I heard that the founder of Guanghui Group wanted to meet me the day before yesterday, I went to Google to find out about your group. I really didn't expect such a great company to exist in mainland China. It makes me feel very gratified." .

"Don't dare to do it. We are purely playing with some concepts, and we can't compare with you who are experts in developing high-tech with real knives and guns. If there are no seniors like Zhang Dong and Jiang Lao among the Chinese, the chip industry will be very difficult. It will always be monopolized by Western developed countries.

"It's not as powerful as you said. TSMC is only a foundry, and there is still a big gap compared with Qualcomm, Samsung, and Intel."

"Mr. Jiang, I'm actually very curious. Although Zhang Dong created the chip foundry model, TSMC is where it is today. However, after years of foundry production, TSMC has accumulated a lot of funds. It stands to reason that it can enter chip design and production. Why do you still only do OEM for your own products?" Jiang Hui asked a question that many people may be concerned about.

Although Jiang Hui can actually understand why TSMC does not enter the chip design industry.

On the one hand, once TSMC starts to design and produce its own chips, it will become competitive with its original customers when the self-produced chips are to be introduced to the market.

For example, it competes with Qualcomm, Samsung, MediaTek, and even AMD.

So will these customers still give production orders to TSMC?
There is a possibility, but there is a high probability that this part of customers will be lost, which will put a lot of pressure on TSMC.

In the chip foundry industry, although TSMC is the leader, there are competitors such as UMC, Chartered Semiconductor, SMIC, IBM, etc. behind it.

This question seems to be asking: Futukang is so awesome, he produces almost all mobile phones, why doesn't he produce mobile phones by himself?
The reason is the same.Now that the division of labor in global production is becoming more and more detailed, each company will be successful as long as it focuses on what it is good at and has an absolute advantage in the technology of this point.

Conversely, what if TSMC also designs chips and produces them themselves?
In the field of chip design, Intel, Qualcomm, Broadcom, and Nvidia have already occupied the market in their respective fields, and also have great technical advantages and patent reserves. It is difficult for other companies to succeed.

Instead of taking a big risk to enter a new field, it is better to manage the existing field well. This should be one of the most important reasons.

"Mr. Jiang, you asked a good question. TSMC is a latecomer in the semiconductor industry. As a latecomer, if you want to enter the market and share the cake, unless you have a very prominent technological breakthrough or price advantage, otherwise it will be difficult to compete in those industries. Senior. The chip industry is an industry with huge investment and very high technical requirements.

Before they are sure, no one will rashly start a war, so Zhang Dong chose a special path, a company that does not conflict with traditional giants, but serves them. This is the key to TSMC's development. Reason," Jiang Shangyi replied after thinking for a few seconds.

"Mr. Jiang, I understand what you're saying, but you can't pull out the sheath with the precious sword in your hand. I think many people are holding their breath in their hearts." Jiang Hui said, staring into Jiang Lao's eyes.

Hearing Jiang Hui's words, for a moment, Jiang Hui felt the loss in Jiang's eyes, but soon, the loss was covered up.

That's right, how could someone like Mr. Jiang, who has lived for a year, express his emotions so easily.

"If the aero-engine is the jewel in the crown of industry, then the chip is the food of the industry. It is not so easy to solve the food problem," Jiang Shangyi said.
