Rebirth of the Official Business Route

Zhang Ke saw that Liu Zhicheng had a lot of concerns, so he proposed to bring the dozens of engineers who had already withdrawn from TSMC to his banner first.

The previous investor registered a technology company in Kuala Lumpur, and dozens of engineers were under that company to carry out technical preparations for the fab construction project.

Most investors choose to withdraw. As long as Zhang Ke accepts shares of Guo Songyan and Liu Zhicheng in the technology company in the name of any company, he will take over dozens of engineers. Fastest update of novel chapters

Of course, after the technology company changes ownership, how many technicians will stay in that technology company and be dispatched to the scientific research institutions in Jianye or Hong Kong or Tokyo is unknown; Liu Zhicheng's role is quite critical.

While visiting the site, Liu Zhicheng didn’t say much. After sending away Li Yuanhu, Luo Jun, Xiao Mingjian, Wang Weijun, 6 Wenfu and other provincial and municipal officials, everyone returned to the Oakland Venture Capital Center—since it was the reconstruction of the Lifeng Printing and Dyeing Factory's workshop. Construction workers are used to calling it Laifeng Park. The venture capital center and laboratory preparation office are located in an office building rebuilt from a factory in the innermost corner of the park.

Standing on the road, there is no trace of the workshop of the printing and dyeing factory in the house. The high-end stone veneer outlines fantastic patterns. In the flower pot of the room lies a half-meter-high lake stone. The words "Oak Park Venture Capital Center" are engraved on the front, which is the company's logo. "Fiction" novel chapters are updated fastest

Zhang Ke commissioned to hire a team of five people with extensive experience in incubating high-tech companies from Singapore to manage the venture capital center and 300 million venture capital funds; the entire venture capital center currently has less than 20 employees; this Half of the office area in the office building is reserved for laboratory preparation.

The preparation of the laboratory and the operation after its completion require first-class research, which is exactly what is urgently lacking in China. Fortunately, Southeast Asia has suffered this disaster. The electronics industry in Japan, South Korea and other places is also in the worst recession in history. Those overseas students who study abroad and stay in overseas electronics companies are also experiencing the heaviest sense of crisis at this time. of.

At this time, knocking is to welcome overseas students returning to China. Zhang Ke specially appointed Jiang Wei to replace Xu Si. On the one hand, Xu Si has his own business and wants to do it. On the other hand, the hunting of senior technical personnel in Southeast Asia through Hong Kong headhunting companies should also start quickly.

In any case, the 30-odd engineers and technicians who left TSMC earlier are definitely a valuable asset.

The whole building is divided into two floors of office areas. When you walk in, there is a six-meter high front hall, which is spacious and bright. The front desk is backed by a frosted glass wall, and the red oak logo made of colored plexiglass and the company nameplate are pasted on the frosted glass wall.

Walking from the curved escalator on the left side of the front hall to the second floor, under the south window on the second floor is an open-plan staff rest area with modern art style. Zhang Ke invited Guo Songyan and Liu Zhicheng to sit in the rest area and talk.

"To really support this fab project, it is not enough without one or two hundred mature engineers and technicians..." Liu Zhicheng sat down and said sincerely. Zhang Ke proposed to have more than 30 engineers who have withdrawn from TSMC. After taking over, he would naturally guess that Kumho might forcefully enter the fab project.

"Uh," heard Liu Zhicheng's reminder. Zhang Ke nodded. Without a complete technical team, there is no key figure like Liu Zhicheng to preside over this project, and of course he would not rush to do a fab project, but he did not say so, just stared at Liu Zhicheng’s eyes with calm eyes. With a faint smile, he said, "Some things must be done by someone. I have a low view on wealth. It is easy to come by, and defeat is fast. I am just not reconciled to the market of 1.3 billion people in the mainland, which is only a place for overseas electronics manufacturers to compete. ..."

"Ah..." Guo Songyan and Liu Zhicheng were slightly moved.

In order to promote a trusting relationship between the two parties. In the past ten days, Liu Zhicheng and Guo Songyan have also generally learned about the history of Kumho’s rise in the past three years. The market miracle of Kumho is amazing; like Guo Songyan has been working hard in the business world for so many years, he has seen young talents in the region. Jun is like a crucian carp who crosses the river, but few people have achieved such brilliant achievements as young as Zhang Ke.

Zhang Ke is a person with a bright personality, which makes Kumho also branded with bright colors.

Guo Songyan and Liu Zhicheng believed what Zhang Ke said.

History always has many coincidences. Even without Liu Zhicheng. Three years later, Zhang Rujing will also lead a crowd to the mainland to prepare for the establishment of SMIC after World University's merger with TSMC.

Zhang Ke just hopes to advance this historical process by three years.

Although the financial turmoil has just passed the first round. However, Zhang Ke knows the general trend of development. As the situation in Hong Kong has improved, maybe the financial turmoil will end a few months earlier than another period of history he has experienced.

The next three years will be three years for Japanese and Korean electronics companies to recuperate after suffering heavy setbacks. It is a critical era for digital signal technology to completely replace analog signal technology. A substantial development here can squeeze the room for Japanese and Korean electronics companies to take advantage of the 1.3 billion mainland market to recover.

These three years are crucial.

If there is a ray of possibility, Zhang Yan will try his best to promote this project, although Liu Zhicheng seems a little lacking in confidence and worries.

Thirty engineers and technicians are far from being able to support this fab project. If there are two hundred skilled hands, Chen Xinsheng may be able to barely take on the heavy responsibility; then again, if you can maintain a good relationship with Texas Instruments, you will not follow morals. Instrument digs people aggressively, maybe Texas Instruments will support Kumho to build a second-rate wafer fab in the mainland—this is the technology that Texas Instruments has entered the phase-out period.

Of course Zhang Ke has other plans.

By the mid to late 1980s, the integrated circuit industry had divided into four distinct industry clusters, including integrated circuit manufacturing, application design, packaging and testing.

TSMC mainly provides integrated circuit manufacturing services for other electronics manufacturers, including packaging and product testing, but does not involve the application and development of specific chip products.

This is the characteristic of Taiwan Electronics Industry Exhibition. With TSMC as the cornerstone, other companies that focus on chip development and design as their main business have achieved great exhibitions.

Taiwan Mingjun Electronics Co., Ltd., the main supplier of disc drive system control chips, has developed the technology of disc drive system control chips and commissioned TSMC to produce the final chip products to sell to various disc drive manufacturers.

Aida Electronics also has the ability to open the disc drive system control chip, but it is commissioned by Texas Instruments.

The foundry model can make TSMC more professional in wafer manufacturing, but it also has its disadvantages. TSMC does not have its own chip products to ensure that the company has a stable profit. Once the entire industry falls into a trough, TSMC’s performance will also be greatly affected. The spread.

The Southeast Asian financial turmoil will spread further. Not only will the economic environment of the entire Southeast Asian region deteriorate further, even the economies of Taiwan, Singapore, Japan and other places will inevitably fall into recession, and the Korean economy will be directly crippled by the financial turmoil-I am afraid that no one can be like that. Zhang Ke clearly foresees that this moment will not be too far away, and TSMC will also fall into a short-term operating dilemma.

This will prompt TSMC's internal conflicts to surface or even intensify.

As long as they can take over the first batch of engineers, when Liu Zhicheng and his other engineers choose to leave TSMC without feeling that there is a way out for the future at TSMC, they will not have too many other choices.

In the next two years, the world's major fabs will fall into the short-term predicament of overcapacity. Zhang Ke is not worried that the batch of engineers under the technology company will choose to leave.

Naturally, Zhang Ke would not speak out all his heart, he chose a very inspiring rhetoric. It shows Kumho's determination to face difficulties.

After the end of the five-day business visit. Although Liu Zhicheng did not finally make up his mind, he agreed to work with Guo Songyan to transfer the shares of the Malaysian-registered technology company to a company registered by Zhang Ke in the Cayman Islands, and Zhang Ke would inject part of the capital to make the early stage of the project The preparatory work can continue.

Although Liu Zhicheng no longer has much confidence in the investment project of this fab at this time, at least to leave a retreat for himself and the engineers under his hands, he will not leave the project immediately. When Liu Zhicheng and Guo Songyan returned to Hong Kong, Zhang Ke let Chen Xinsheng go with him, and Chen Xinsheng personally accompanied Guo Songyan on a trip to Malaysia. The engineers and technicians who are willing to work in the Mainland will first sign to the Aida Group to return to the country to participate in the preparation of the laboratory, and other hesitant engineers and technicians will first be placed in the Malaysian technology company to continue to be responsible for the technical preparation of the fab ——It is unrealistic to bring people back to China all at once, but this work has to be done unremittingly.

There is no actual progress. The Jianye Municipal Party Committee and Government did not slack off, but they aroused greater interest.

Jianye City Party Secretary Luo Jun even approached Zhang Ke and asked if Kumho could undertake the project alone. Zhang Ke clearly told Luo Jun that without Liu Zhicheng and his group of engineers and technicians, even if he could obtain some second-rate wafers from Texas Instruments or Singapore. Kumho has done its own manufacturing technology, and at most built a third-rate factory. And the space for future progress is very limited.

Luo Jun knew that Zhang Ke had the courage to reject Li Yuanhu. There was no demand on this, but the position of the Jianye Municipal Party Committee was once again stated. As long as there is a chance, the Jianye Municipal Party Committee and Government will make every effort to fight for it.

Not only was the Jianye Municipal Party Committee and Government so firm in stating their position, the central government was also very enthusiastic about the project from Ye Zhenmin’s anti-radium news, but the project has not yet seen anything and it is inconvenient to come forward and directly support it.

Ye Zhenmin will visit Singapore in mid-September on behalf of the Liaison Office of the Central Committee of the People’s Republic of China and representatives from Hong Kong to discuss cooperation issues with the Singapore government to jointly resist the impact of the financial turmoil. Vice Premier Zhao Jidong has agreed to send staff from Kumho and Jianye City Government to accompany the Singapore government. Attitudes towards moving the fab project to the mainland-this relates to whether it can continue to obtain part of the wafer manufacturing technology from Singapore.

In September ~www.readwn.com~ Kumho will continue to launch new products such as digital mobile phones and electronic dictionaries. As the general manager of the operation department, Su Jindong will stay at the Haizhou headquarters.

The work of the overseas product research center is temporarily in charge of Xiao Jincheng, general manager of the overseas operations department. In addition, Xiao Jincheng is also responsible for preparing overseas sales networks, preparing for the smooth launch of mp3 players in overseas markets at the end of the year, and also responsible for overseas regions Recruitment of overseas students.

Chen Hanzhang presides over the work of the ess experimental base. It is necessary to continue to research the latest product technology, but also to consider some of the less important research work first to the country, and secretly prepare a research team to develop mobile phone baseband chips.

In addition to coordinating the overall situation, the main work of Oak Park is still on Chen Xinsheng's shoulders. At this time, he is duty-bound to assume the heavy responsibility of the fab project.

On the side of Yuexiu Holdings, equity adjustments were also carried out at the end of August. Sun Shangyi became the chairman of Yuexiu Holdings. Zhang Ke hoped that when Kumho went to Southeast Asia to pick up fruit, he would be able to wave his. However, Sun Shangyi at this time had to represent Yuexiu Holdings and Huishan City Government negotiated the capital injection of Xiangxuehai.

The matter of the hedge fund can only be left to Ye Jianbin and Nick Lee Sen to stare at them together.
