The weather in Yanjing was still very cold in early January, and it was already closed in recent years.

After staying somewhere for a long time, Lin Qiyu finally regained her freedom. Since the sudden change last summer, she was called back and cooperated with the investigation and questioning for so long.

From now on, she is really free, because she has resigned from her position on her own.

Looking at the late winter sun, she exhaled and white mist filled the air.

Next, let’s go home and have a good New Year, and then there is still a document that needs to be written and handed over to someone.

She packed her things and went to the train station, waiting for the train home.

In the waiting room, someone was scolding Tao Zhiming.

"This bitch is a traitor! Helping those people mess up next year's big event!"

Lin Qiyu lowered his head. At this time, he was in Xiang Island, right?

Tao Zhiming is indeed in Hong Kong.

Lamma Island is under heavy construction, but his manor is still quiet.

Chen Yueying, who has returned to her real name, lives with her parents and two children in a villa over Repulse Bay.

The mistress of the Tao family that many people in Xiangdao had guessed back then was now confirmed.

Of course, Tao Zhiming was not lonely here at the manor.

He wanted to spend the whole winter here to avoid the suspicion of Taro Hashimoto who had just come to power over the neon side.

Everyone knows that Tao Zhiming has always been an important support force behind Taro Hashimoto. Although Tao Zhiming has obtained what he wants to gain in the past two years or so, he is not in Tokyo at this time, so he can still avoid some unwarranted things. accuse.

Next, the Sanyou Consortium will no longer eat meat in Neon. It will only truly develop and bring more people into employment. Its reputation will get better and better, right?

Furong, Sanhe, and Daiichi Quanye will let Mitsui, Sumitomo, and Mitsubishi fight and reorganize.

Tao Zhiming's focus has been transferred to Xiangdao. As for the Sanyou Foundation, he only needs to hold on to the most important financial sector, and control other backbones such as Kinoshita Hidefeng and others.

From now on, Tao Zhiming has completed the construction of the Sanyou Consortium. So under the cover of the superficial shell of the Sanyou Consortium, it is time for Tao Zhiming to carefully craft the Tao Group that will truly target the future.

The first is the silicon chip.

Zhang Rujing was sitting on the sofa in the living room, looking at Tao Zhiming with complicated eyes.

"What kind of expression is this?" Tao Zhiming said with a serious face, "If you don't understand something, don't make blind guesses. Just concentrate on doing your job. Bay Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is preparing to go public in the United States and accept my shareholding and joint venture in Bay Area. Building a factory on the island is an important move. Do it well!"

Zhang Rujing just nodded.

When he was poached back from the United States by Tao Zhiming, this guy kept saying: I want silicon chips to become a pillar of Xia State Semiconductor in the future.

So what is he doing now? It’s not like Zhang Rujing didn’t read the evaluation of Tao Zhiming in some mainland reports.

Seeing Zhang Rujing's expression, Tao Zhiming sighed: "Listen to my advice, the water here is too deep and you can't control it."

"...I didn't ask!" Zhang Rujing's heart was pounding, and he always felt that there was a big chess game behind him that made him jaw-dropping.

I'm afraid the Gwa number is just an introduction.

If some of the things he is doing now are just a pretense for what he really wants to do, then the level behind it is incredible.

For example, without the current tense situation, he probably would not have been invited to the Bay Island to negotiate a cooperation framework with Bay Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd.

Xiangdao, Wandao, Neon, and the competition between silicon chips and Zhouguo Nine Stars... Zhang Rujing's scalp went numb.

So he shook his head: "I don't ask, and I don't care. Just give me money. You said you want us to participate in the development of ASML's new photolithography machine and improve the process. This is not something that can be done with a small amount of money."

, we have just achieved financial balance for the year.”

Silicon chips can temporarily break even. This is also because Tao Zhiming has enough orders with his connections in the United States and the low-end products he invested in Neon and Xia.

The profits of these orders are very low, and the technical level is also very average, but they do help the silicon chip to train a group of skilled workers, and also optimize the management and process level.

Now we have to directly participate in the development of a new generation of dual-stage lithography machines proposed by ASML.

Tao Zhiming was very happy: "I have prepared the money, and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. will also invest in it. In this way, ASML will have enough confidence to develop it, and our two foundries will also be responsible for future actual machine applications."

Go test improvements.”

Not only that, he also said: "Now the application of ultraviolet light is approaching its limit. The idea of ​​dual workbenches can only improve efficiency but cannot solve the most fundamental problem. Lao Zhang, you pay more attention to it. As long as the industry has some theories

You collected all your ideas and came to me to discuss whether to continue to invest money for ASML to develop it. If the technical bottleneck of deep ultraviolet light is solved, then we will truly seize the technological opportunity."

"...take your time." Zhang Rujing no longer doubted his determination to invest in this field.

And deep ultraviolet light... can that be solved with a little money? It sounds like there is a lot of interest in trying various theoretical solutions.

Are you kidding me?

Whether it's ASML or Bay Area Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd., although their current scale is not small, their share is not large, and their profits are even pitiful. It can only be said that this foundry business model has initially been proven to work.

, promising.

The task assigned to him by Tao Zhiming was simply to seize the opportunity of the immersion lithography machine as soon as possible.

Because it is impossible to ask him to go to Lin Jian directly, and there is not much need at this time. If you take a big step, you will be in trouble. This business has its own rules.

The personal computer market has begun to explode, but it is still early to become popular.

In terms of mobile phones, Nokia has not even begun to take off completely.

After Tao Zhiming finished paying attention to the silicon chip, he called Zhao Yuanxi to discuss the integration of Bravo Media.

On the other side of Neon, Tao Chi-Ming now has Keizai Shimbun, TV Tokyo, Dentsu, Dimensional Culture, Shueisha, Toho, and Pantao Pictures.

On Xiangdao, Tao Zhiming has completely taken over ATV, Star TV, as well as the previous audio and video company, shares in Wireless, and acquired many small magazines and tabloids.

In the United States, it completely controls Blockbuster, cooperates with Sony at Columbia Pictures, and has some shares in Bloomberg's Bloomberg News.

The entertainment and media sectors that are not integrated are fragmented.

Once integrated, the media empire that Tao Zhiming and Zhao Yuanxi described earlier will actually take shape.

"Now we just need to integrate it first." Tao Zhiming explained, "Television media and print media are one big sector, publishing is another sector, content production is another sector, and then there is the distribution and retail side. We will handle content production personally, and other sectors

Just keep it as it is and let the professional managers do it themselves.”

Zhao Yuanxi nodded: "I will come up with a plan as soon as possible. Some of the shares in these subsidiaries of the group involve the interests of other people. You have to clarify it and tell me."

"Don't worry about this." Tao Zhiming gave an extra reminder, "Dimension Culture will be listed on Neon, Star TV and ATV will be relisted in Hong Kong after integration, and the entire Bravo Media will be listed in the United States. You have to pay attention to the listing requirements in different places.

financial problems."

Zhao Yuanxi was a little worried: "After going public, you will be subject to more supervision. Will it have an impact on what you want to do in the future?"

"After the listing, there will be more interested parties." Tao Zhiming smiled, "What I want to do is early, and the last piece of the puzzle has not yet begun. In this process, of course, we have to use other people's money through the capital market.

Help us pave the way."

The reason why he wants to focus on content production is because he has an understanding of popular culture trends.

The times are developing, and the preferences of the younger generation are always the hardest for the old guys to figure out.

For Tao Zhiming, this can be used to make money.

"The last piece of the puzzle..." Zhao Yuanxi knew his layout, "As for the online media, Yahoo is already promoting its listing. Have you subscribed for new shares?"

"I let Sun Zhengyi do it." Tao Zhiming shook his head, "I won't fight with them for those interests. In my capacity, the most appropriate thing is to let them share Neon, Xia Guo's future

Benefits. I can help Bay Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. go public, and I can certainly help even more when Xia Guo’s Internet companies go public in the future.”

Zhao Yuanxi's heart moved, but she didn't ask any questions, she just kept the matter in mind.

After talking about the integration of Bravo Media, he asked a key question: "Issuing a gaming license on Lamma Island is difficult to pass anyway. The pressure from Yanjing is so great, aren't you adding to the chaos?

Why do you have to mention this?”

Tao Zhiming glared: "You have committed this problem too! Just leave these things alone."

Zhao Yuanxi rolled his eyes and said nothing.

Isn't it because the storm you are causing now is a bit big and scary?

Tao Zhiming laughed: "Don't worry, when Taro Hashimoto comes to power, it's time to enter a new stage. If we fight without defeat, everyone will be happy."

"... Just do charades, I don't care."

After Zhao Yuanxi left, she muttered: "You can't stay here all the time, right? The bridge is not repaired now, so whether you come by helicopter or by yacht, it will be too ostentatious."

Tao Zhiming sent him off with a smile: "Don't worry, there will be cheap properties to buy in the second half of next year."

Zhao Yuanxi looked at him and shook his head speechlessly: "I have been digging holes all day long. I'm a little afraid that someone will hire Young and Dangerous to kill me after next year."

"...Think too much." Tao Zhiming joked, "My father, Chen, thinks that one son is too few. Aying is pregnant with another one. After giving birth to another child, will he be adopted by you? You are so decent, you must have raised a good son."

.With such a large family property, we should inherit it to our son in the future. Or you and Chen Yuqi can adopt one so that Hoshino can have a companion."

"Don't count my hard-earned money! I will work for you in fear."

Tao Zhiming stood next to the helicopter pad and held his hand, saying seriously: "This is not for our lofty and lofty ideals, Comrade Zhao Yuanxi!"

"...Don't be stupid, I'm in my thirties." Zhao Yuanxi suddenly felt a little dazed, "It's been almost ten years."

Tao Zhiming smiled and waved him off.

Yes, it has indeed been almost ten years since the end of February 1986.
