After the agreement with Deyi was signed, Li Xuan did not leave Dallas in a hurry, but stayed in the city for another three days. The purpose of his stay was naturally tacit, but the apparent reason was to play. 【For more wonderful novels, please visit】

Since it was a play, Deyi Company, as the host, could not be rude, and specially arranged a Chinese employee to serve as a tour guide for Li Xuan. Li Xuan's tour guide, surnamed Gu, was born in Houston and is a typical (;;), also known as a banana man. Huangpi Baixin, although he is Chinese, he is no different from the native Americans, and his Chinese is far from being fluent in English.

Li Xuan followed this John Gu to a lot of places, and the first stop was to go to the Kennedy Memorial. The most important political influence that the city of Dallas has left in the United States is the assassination of Kennedy. Who is behind the instigation to shoot Kennedy, this mystery has not been solved until decades later.

The memorial is located on the sixth floor of a seven-story high-rise building with a dark red exterior wall in the city center, so Dallas people habitually call it the "six-story memorial" (;;museum), where the sinful bullet was shot from here. .

Li Xuan is not an American, so he is less interested in the history of the United States. He just casually browsed a group and came out. After coming out of the memorial hall, under the guidance of the tour guide, he also ran to the road not far away. There is a white line "x" on the road, which is where President Kennedy was when he was shot.

night. Li Xuan went to the home of the Dallas Mavericks again and watched a Mavericks game without Dirk Nowitzki and without Cuban. All right. He burst into tears of regret! The Mavericks on the court, a rookie who just joined the NBA this year, were beaten by the visiting Washington Bullets for more than 20 points.

The next day, Li Xuan drove another 100 kilometers and went to a farm in the suburbs to experience the life of a Texas cowboy for half a day. He rode horses, ran cattle, and cut grass. He had a good time at an American farmhouse.

Finally, on the third day, Li Xuan returned to Zhang Zhongmou's home. After three days of consideration, it was time to give him a clear answer.

"Dong Li. What kind of position are you going to arrange for me in Dongfang Electronics?" Zhang Zhongmou asked bluntly.

Li Xuan couldn't help feeling overjoyed when he heard the change in his title, and said, "Dongfang Electronics is actually just a general term. Since I started my business last year, the entire company has been expanding rapidly. In order to keep up with the pace of development. , the company's internal structure has also undergone several adjustments.

After the latest split, Dongfang Electronics has actually become a holding company, which wholly owns Dongfang Game Company, Dongfang Software Company, British Aikon Computer Company, and American Computer Park Sales Company. Five major entity subsidiaries.

In addition, there is an Oriental Technology Co., Ltd., which has four R&D centers in Taipei, Hong Kong, Silicon Valley in the United States and Cambridge in the United Kingdom, as well as the Oriental Laboratory jointly established with three universities in Hong Kong.

Most of the ongoing semiconductor research projects are under the responsibility of several R&D centers and Dongfang laboratories under Dongfang Technology. From an ownership point of view, it actually has nothing to do with Dongfang Electronics.

I have established a brand new subsidiary under the name of Dongfang Electronics Corporation, Dongfang Semiconductor, which will be fully responsible for the chip production business of all Dongfang companies, and I expect you to be at the helm of this new company. "

This position is only low compared to Zhang Zhongmou's current status in Texas Instruments. At least he is now the third-in-command in Deyi. Directly under the jurisdiction of the tens of thousands of employees of this multinational company. And the current Dongfang Electronics has only two or three thousand people, and he is only the president of a subsidiary company.

"How much power can you give me?" Zhang Zhongmou asked, staring at Li Xuan's eyes.

Li Xuan was not afraid to look at him. Eye contact is the most sincere way to communicate. He smiled and spit out a few words: "Arbitrary power!"

Zhang Zhongmou is a serious and serious person. Those who are strict with their subordinates are called "tyrants" in TSMC in later generations. But this rigor is a high requirement for product quality and production efficiency. TSMC under his leadership is one of the most profitable companies in Taiwan. Moreover, his character is strong and persevering. For such a general, Li Xuan is willing to let him go.

"The fab that we just acquired from Texas Instruments will be placed under the name of Dongfang Semiconductor. At the same time, we are also in talks with General Electric to acquire a fab in Northern California. We are also in talks with the company to acquire their San Francisco. A chip packaging and testing factory in the southwest!

In addition, I will invest 5 million US dollars for the technical upgrading of these three factories. Over the next two years, I will invest no less than $30 million in cash in Eastern Semiconductor to support the company's expansion of a new fab! "

Li Xuan set out his own conditions and continued: "If you resign from Texas Instruments, Oriental Semiconductor is willing to provide a contract with an annual salary of 2 million US dollars, and at the same time pay you a one-time payment of 3 million US dollars to make up for your loss in the next three years. Losses in terms of options and dividends in Texas Instruments!

Of course, if you want, you can also use this money as an investment and convert it into shares of Dongfang Semiconductor! "

If you want the horse to run fast, you must feed the horse full grass! The treatment given by Li Xuan will not be lower than Zhang Zhongmou's income in Deyi, and it is also a lot higher than other executives of Dongfang Electronics.

The semiconductor industry is a very special industry, and technology is developing rapidly. A little nap may create a generation gap with competitors. And the barriers to entry in this industry are very high. A few years ago, investing in a fab cost several million dollars. Now, it needs more than 10 million. In four or five years, it will cost tens of millions. Even a multi-billion dollar business.

Countries such as Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and Singapore, which can occupy a place in the semiconductor industry in later generations, have all taken the same path. That is, the state invests a lot of money in the early stage and introduces advanced equipment and technology from the United States as a whole. After achieving a certain amount of technology accumulation, it will be transferred to private capital.

to this end. The Japanese government spent $130 million in the early 1970s to establish a semiconductor research center. Taiwan Industrial Technology Research Institute spent tens of millions of dollars. Introducing complete sets of technology and equipment from American companies, a demonstration wafer fab was built in 1976.

Naturally, Li Xuan couldn't get this kind of support from the British Hong Kong government, so he could only make his own way. Hong Kong also does not have a talent pool for semiconductors, so Li Xuan has not considered placing the headquarters of Oriental Semiconductor in Hong Kong. The first choice is naturally the Silicon Valley of the United States with abundant talents.

However, investing in a fab with advanced technology and complex process is by no means profitable if you have money and equipment. For factories using the same process technology, the difference in yield rate can be very large, some factories can be profitable, and some factories have really become "half-inverted".

Li Xuan studied embedded system design in his previous life. In terms of designing chips, you can still open a golden finger, but chip production is completely blind. And Zhang Zhongmou is a leader in this regard, personally in charge of all semiconductor business of the multinational IT giant Texas Instruments.

"Arbitrary exercise of power", Zhang Zhongmou finally felt his heart beat when he heard Li Xuan spit out these words, but he restrained his emotions and listened to Li Xuan finish his words. Li Xuan was willing to let him use the compensation from Dongfang Semiconductor to buy shares, which made him even more satisfied.

According to his estimates, Dongfang Semiconductor purchased two fabs and a chip test and assembly plant. The total investment will not exceed 20 million US dollars, plus 5 million US dollars in cash, the total assets are around 25 million US dollars, if he invests 3 million US dollars. At least 10% of the shares.

It is undoubtedly the cheapest to invest in the company when it is first established. As long as Dongfang Electronics can achieve profitability, it wants to raise funds and invest in shares. Factory valuations will increase exponentially. Li Xuan undoubtedly showed his greatest sincerity to him.

Zhang Zhongmou pursed his lips slightly, and a smile finally appeared on his serious face: "Dong Li. I choose to join Dongfang Electronics, and I hope my future performance will not disappoint you!"

The two of them finally held hands. There are no flowers, no applause, everything is settled in the meeting of two pairs of confident eyes.

Now that he has chosen to join, Zhang Zhongmou immediately began to introduce his ideas for the next development of Dongfang Semiconductor to Li Xuan. The first is to carry out technological reform and implement the flexible production capacity of factories.

Like the wafer fabs owned by Texas Instruments, each factory mostly produces only a single variety or even a single model of chips. However, if Dongfang Semiconductor wants to go the route of foundry, it must be only customers who are picky about it in the early stage, not it. Even if it is to undertake internal orders from the Oriental Department, there are more than a dozen types of storage and control chips on arcade machines, handhelds and computers.

In fact, what Li Xuan did not say is that after the personal computer industry began to explode, the production capacity of Dongfang Semiconductor in the early stage was enough to meet the internal orders of Dongfang Department.

As for whether the foundry model can really be realized and accept external orders, it depends on Zhang Zhongmou's personal ability. To achieve this step, the development speed of Oriental Semiconductor in his hands must at least surpass that of other Oriental companies.

When Li Xuan left Dallas, Zhang Zhongmou formally submitted his resignation to Deyi. The board of directors of Deyi Company made a symbolic reservation. After Zhang Zhongmou signed a series of resignation agreements to ensure that he would not betray the interests of Deyi Company, he finally agreed.

There are also seven or eight middle-level employees who resigned along with Zhang Zhongmou~www.readwn.com~ This is the advantage of getting Zhang Zhongmou down. He can form a complete management and operation team in minutes. Li Xuan said that he would give the other party arbitrary power, and he would do what he said, and did not interfere with the internal personnel arrangements of Dongfang Semiconductor at all.

Zhang Rujing accidentally found an acquaintance in the management list that Zhang Zhongmou listed to Li Xuan in advance. Zhang Zhongmou saw that Li Xuan's eyes stopped at the name for a while, and he specifically explained that he was a young man with great potential who had been working in Deyi Company for three years.

The two later generations had a complete fallout. The grievances and grievances between the two sides even involved the layout of the semiconductor industry on both sides of the strait, and now the two are still superiors and subordinates who appreciate each other. Li Xuan felt that a group of grass and mud horses ran past him!
