The next day, Li Xuan was in the Executive Yuan and was received by Sun Yunxuan, President of the National Government. "Little, the name of Dean Sun, Li Xuan has heard many people talk about it even in his previous life.

The reason why Taiwanese remember him is that most of Taiwan's later heavy industry foundations came from the "Ten Construction Plans" implemented by Sun Yunxuan during his tenure as Minister of Economy in the 1970s. It can be said that the entire industrial transformation of Taiwan was driven by him.

And Li Xuan knows Sun Yunxuan because he single-handedly laid the foundation for Taiwan's semiconductor industry and plays a pivotal role in the world. In the mid-1970s, it was he who stood out against all the opposition and set up a semi-official scientific research institution in Taiwan, the Industrial Technology Research Institute, following the example of South Korea.

ITRI ​​can be said to be the Whampoa Military Academy of Taiwan's semiconductor industry, which has incubated countless technical and entrepreneurial talents. And relying on the rise of the semiconductor industry, Taiwan also occupies an important position in the future computer industry.

The current president of Dongfang Semiconductor, Zhang Zhongmou, accepted Sun Yunxuan's invitation in another time and space, and returned to Taiwan from the United States to serve as the president of the Industrial Technology Research Institute. Later, he assembled a group of technicians to found TSMC, and changed it with a new foundry model. The pattern of the entire semiconductor industry.

"Mr. Li, welcome you and your Dongfang Electronics Group to invest in Taiwan. We will provide foreign companies with the most generous policies!" Sun Yunxuan saw Li Xuan entering the door, and walked up quickly to shake his hands warmly. .

"President Sun, Taiwan has a strong talent base and good industrial planning. The reason why Dongfang Semiconductor Corporation chose to locate the first fab in Asia in Hsinchu Science and Technology Park. We have carefully considered it!" Li Xuan smiled He said, and pointed to Zhang Zhongmou beside him. "This is Mr. Zhang Zhongmou, President of Dongfang Semiconductor Corporation!"

"Mr. Zhang and I have been friends for a long time. I asked Mr. Pan Wenyuan, who returned to Taiwan to communicate. He once mentioned to me Mr. Zhang Zhongmou, the Chinese light of the semiconductor industry in the United States!" Sun Yunxuan smiled and shook hands with Zhang Zhongmou.

Pan Wenyuan in Sun Yunxuan's mouth was previously the senior R&D director of ra company in the United States. It was under his matchmaking that ra company sold a complete set of semiconductor production technology to Taiwan Industrial Technology Research Institute, which became the beginning of the development of Taiwan's semiconductor industry. Pan Wenyuan was later honored as the father of Taiwan's semiconductors.

Sun Yunxuan is a typical technocrat with sharp thinking and witty conversation. Li Xuan had a lively discussion with him on the future of Taiwan's semiconductor industry and electronics industry. Compared with the mainland, Taiwan already has a very good foundation. More importantly, Taiwan, as the younger brother of the United States, will not be subject to too many restrictions on technology exports.

These undoubtedly create excellent conditions for the subsequent vigorous development of Taiwan's semiconductor industry. After the 1980s, with the global economic integration. Manufacturing began to move rapidly towards Asia, especially East Asia. There are hard-working industrial workers, smart technology developers, lower wages than Europe and the United States, and fewer strikes.

Taiwan has seized the opportunity of this major adjustment in the global division of labor, and has rapidly upgraded from a labor-intensive industry in the 1960s and 1970s to a technology-intensive industry. With the aura of rebirth, Li Xuan can naturally foresee this change in advance. Now that the upgrading and transformation of Taiwan's industry has just begun, if Li Xuan can intervene as soon as possible. lay a solid foundation.

In Li Xuan's design blueprint, the United States is one of the most important external markets and R&D centers of the Oriental Group, because there is the world's largest consumer market and the most advanced technology. Asia, on the other hand, is positioned by Li Xuan as a production base and another R&D center.

Among them, Japan and South Korea are for Li Xuan. It is very difficult to get enough influence to intervene, and it can only be used as a supplement. His real foothold is still to be based on the three places on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, where he has a natural affinity with the same kind of homologous culture.

Perhaps the complex political entanglements between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three places. It will cause him some trouble. But in turn, it is this intricate political entanglement. Gives him enough wiggle room.

Since the 1980s, both the mainland and Taiwan. The earlier bitter confrontation is easing into dialogue, and economic exchanges are starting to increase. Even at the height of the Taiwan-Taiwan crisis in the 1990s, economic and trade exchanges between the mainland and Taiwan continued unabated.

It is precisely because he knows this general trend that Li Xuan is confident enough to deploy in Hong Kong, Taiwan and the mainland at the same time. Although the mainland is an important part of Li Xuan's plan, it has many inherent deficiencies due to the political system.

For example, the United States has stricter restrictions on the mainland semiconductor industry. It was not until the end of the 1990s that the country established the first fab to produce digital chips in a joint venture with Japan. Whether it is Hua Hong n or SMIC, which is a few years later than it, the core technology has always been under the control of the foreign management team for a long time.

And even China's latest fabs are generally two to three generations behind foreign factories in technology, and they do not have the ability to manufacture cutting-edge semiconductor production equipment. As a result, they fell into the quagmire of the scale trap, figured out the advantages of scale to reduce costs, and finally entered a vicious circle of more losses, more investment, and more investment, more losses.

Li Xuan has a pure heart to make a contribution to the development of the mainland, but the premise is that he cannot harm his own interests. He didn't dare to put Baodu in the mainland, otherwise the turmoil in the late 1980s might have caused a fatal blow to the entire Oriental Group.

The current Taiwan Executive Yuan is not the Executive Yuan after the constitution was revised in the late 1990s. The Executive Yuan is the second most powerful figure after the president. In the 21st century, Taiwan's chief executive has actually become a scapegoat for the president, whose only function is to resign in place of the president when there are major mistakes.

But now Sun Yunxuan, the chief executive, still has great power, especially when he was the chief executive of Jiang Jingguo in the 1970s. appreciation.

Sun Yunxuan said that he would personally attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony of Oriental Semiconductor's Hsinchu factory the day after tomorrow. With the support of him, the No. 2 figure in Taiwan's political circles, Oriental Semiconductor's development in Taiwan can be said to be unimpeded.

After Li Xuan ended his meeting with Sun Yunxuan, he was informed that the real power holder in Taiwan, President Jiang, wanted to meet him. So Li Xuan was picked up from his residence by a special car. If you ask people in Taipei, where does President Jiang live? Eight out of ten people may say that the Shilin official residence was actually the residence of Lao Jiang after he came to Taiwan.

Two other people may tell you the correct answer, Nankai Mansion. But if you ask where Qi Hai is in Taipei, few people can answer it. This residence of President Xiao Jiang was originally the residence of the senior generals of the US military advisory group in Taipei. Later, after Xiao Jiang served as the executive director, the original residence was too small for office work, so Lao Jiang asked him to move here. here.

It turned out to be a military restricted area, and there was no specific name. Because Americans think "seven" is a lucky number, and there is a naval headquarters nearby, so Xiao Jiang moved in and simply named his new residence "Seven Seas" Villa.

The location of the Seven Seas Official Residence is next to the Martyrs' Shrine near the Yuanshan Hotel. Whether it is the Yuanshan Hotel or the Martyrs' Shrine, both are famous landmarks in Taipei, but the nearby Seven Seas Mansion is rarely known to outsiders.

The car drove to the entrance of a sentry post, and after careful inspection by security personnel, it was released smoothly. The driver drove another seven or eight hundred meters to a trail in the sentry post. The trail was surrounded by gray walls and towering trees. Finally the car stopped outside a large white iron gate.

When Li Xuan got out of the car, the iron door had been opened, revealing a small villa inside. A middle-aged man in a cyan suit with gold-rimmed glasses walked towards Li Xuan. The other party first introduced himself with a smile. His name was Wang Jiahua, and he was President Jiang's confidential secretary.

Approaching the villa, the living room inside is not large, estimated to be less than 20 square meters. The simple decoration reveals a touch of elegance, which is similar to the living room of an ordinary well-off home.

Jiang Jingguo was reading documents on the cyan sofa. He raised his head when he heard the movement and smiled at Li Xuan. Xiao Jiang was about to stand up and shake hands with Li Xuan, Li Xuan immediately took the initiative to step forward. Just now Wang Jiahua said before entering the door that President Jiang's legs and feet are not very good~www.readwn.com~ Li Xuan glanced at the other party and found that Jiang Jingguo was a little fat, or should be said to be a little swollen. have severe diabetes. Because of this symptom, it is very similar to the father of a friend of Li Xuan's previous life.

"Mr. Li Xuan, welcome to Taiwan!" Jiang Jingguo, like his father Jiang's bald head, did not change his local accent, and his words showed a strong Feng-hua accent.

When Li Xuan saw Ronald Reagan, Bush Sr., Thatcher and other powerful political figures, he had a feeling of seeing history. But this feeling was especially obvious when I met Deng-Lao before, and this time, Xiao Jiang, who was in the Second Jiang Dynasty, once again had a deep emotion.

Jiang Jingguo smiled warmly and was very talkative. Li Xuan chatted with him about his entrepreneurial history, and the atmosphere of the conversation between the two became more and more relaxed.

"President Chiang, this time my wife came to Taipei to participate in the 19th Hong Kong Golden Horse Awards. The Asian Film Company she runs, co-produced with Taiwan's China-Film Company last year, to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the 1911 Revolution. The film is called "Double Ten of 1911"! This film has been nominated for eight nominations for this year's Golden Horse Awards!" Li Xuan said with a smile.

"Hong Kong's film industry is very developed, and half of our country in Taiwan has been occupied by you Hong Kong people!" Jiang Jingguo said with a smile. (To be continued..)
