Linda Yun quietly reported the information she inquired about and said to Su Yehao:
"I asked, and they said that Huashuo was not included in the potential acquisition targets this time, but they planned to discuss purchasing computer motherboards with them. This company is developing into the notebook computer industry and launched a new model two years ago.
Thick and heavy laptops have very few sales. But it is said that the quality is relatively good, and it has even been on the Mir space station, and it started to make profits in the first year after entering the laptop market..."
Huashuo, a company, has been listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange as early as 1996, and much of its information is open and transparent.
With Su Yehao's strength, it is not easy to find out the information.
Starting from the end of 1996, after several years of accumulation, motherboard OEM orders from international first-tier manufacturers have been concentrated in the hands of Huashuo Company.
In a short period of time, the company has grown like a wild horse, selling its products all over the world and quickly becoming one of the world's largest motherboard manufacturers.
have to say.
The island's plan to develop the semiconductor industry in the early years was considered to be ahead of the curve, and it gradually formed a relatively complete industrial chain. It relied on OEMs to seize market share, and the limelight even gradually overshadowed Japan's.
Su Yehao's "City of Thousand Chips" plan is somewhat imitating the island's semiconductor industry model, but with the addition of the Internet and a much larger mainland market.
Unfortunately, it is already 1999.
A group of semiconductor companies that have developed around the personal computer industry have divided up the market share. Su Yehao has started a bit slowly and has missed the best period of development. If he wants to overtake in a corner, he will take a lot of mistakes and the competition is not small.
.
Fortunately, there will be many opportunities to reshuffle the cards in the future.
The market demand for semiconductors will change, and so will the level of technological development.
For example, the market share of microchips used in mobile terminals will definitely exceed that of today's personal computer chips, so if we seize the opportunity, there may not be a possibility of a comeback.
After listening to Linda Yun's report, Su Yehao touched his chin and said:
"The news that I want to enter the computer manufacturing field has been released a long time ago. It's not surprising that others know about it. It seems that Marjorie, maybe she wants to get a motherboard order from me? She seems to be a senior
It’s not too strange for a professional manager to get a commission if he gets a large order, and then he will be promoted to a higher position.”
In his opinion, there are no such coincidences in the world, and many accidents can be created by humans.
In fact.
Marjorie, Huashuo's marketing director for Greater China, did bump into Su Yehao at the airport by accident, and then there was a scene of "missing the plane".
She gave the airport manager a tip of 5,000 Hong Kong dollars and asked him to help her find a way out. After the deal was completed, she would receive a bonus of 10,000 Hong Kong dollars. With only 15,000 Hong Kong dollars, she could have a close encounter with Su Yehao.
The opportunity seemed to Marjorie to be a great deal.
The marketing department relies on news and wooing big customers to earn a living. News that Su Yehao "poached" the chief engineer from Liangxiang Group and was looking for parts suppliers has already spread in the circle.
Although Su Yehao had no experience in the field of personal computer manufacturing before, a smart person like Marjorie would never underestimate a super rich man worth billions of dollars.
For the so-called super rich, personal financial resources are only a concrete manifestation of part of their strength, and their influence is also a key point that cannot be ignored.
If it were someone else who said they wanted to compete with the Liangxiang Group, which was gradually becoming more popular, Marjorie might not take it seriously. However, if a super rich man like Su Yehao planned to enter the market to disrupt the situation, the meaning would suddenly be different.
Being smart, she thought that capital from other Hong Kong cities or chaebols from Silicon Valley in the United States may be involved behind the scenes, and she always felt that the order would not be small.
Carrying a Hermès handbag, she got on Su Yehao's private jet.
After Marjorie looked around, she felt that rich people really enjoy themselves. The various drinks in the temperature-controlled wine cabinet looked very pleasing to the eye.
For example, she had seen a bottle of Chateau Romanée-Conti's 1978 dry white wine fixed in the wine cabinet. She had originally planned to buy it as a gift to a client. After calling to inquire about the price, she found out that it was actually worth 20,000 US dollars.
about.
It doesn't sound expensive, but it's just wine, it's gone after you drink it, it's a consumable product.
According to her visual inspection, the more than ten bottles of various types of wine in this wine cabinet are worth at least 400,000 US dollars, and each bottle is qualified to be sent to the auction.
When Marjorie took her seat, she felt that even if she gained nothing today, just spending 15,000 Hong Kong dollars to fly on such a private jet was not a loss. The zero-gravity space chair was far more comfortable than the first-class cabin on a passenger plane.
.
…
The bodyguard sat next to Marjorie and stared at her.
As the plane took off, Jiang Yu and Linda Yun were greeted by Su Yehao, and they sat at the dining table together to play cards and Landlords.
The flight from the port city to the island only takes more than an hour.
Marjorie thought that not taking the opportunity to contact Su Yehao would be a waste of an excellent opportunity, so she went to the bathroom, and when she came out, she stared at the cards in Jiang Yu's hand and said with a smile: "Sorry, what cards are you playing?
?”
Jiang Yu told: "Doudizhu, how to play in the Mainland, where are you from? I just heard you speak Mandarin, and you speak Cantonese very well."
"I grew up in Taoyuan on the island. The plane would land near my home soon. People from the mainland seemed to like playing cards. When I was doing business, I would often be asked to play mahjong."
Marjorie knew that Su Yehao was wary of her. She was asked before if she really missed her flight. At this moment, she just pretended that it was not the case. She took the initiative to create a topic, looked at Su Yehao, and then said: "Last time I went to the mainland, I heard someone talking about it.
Come on, Master Su, you poached Liangxiang’s chief engineer?”
"It's not that I poached people, it's that he felt uncomfortable and took the initiative to find me, and we hit it off immediately and reached a cooperation." Su Yehao said calmly.
"So that's what it's like."
Marjorie stopped talking in circles and continued: "Liang wants to have a cooperative relationship with our company. Master, if you have any needs, you can also cooperate with our company. Now Dell and IBM motherboards are also OEMed by our company."
Su Yehao raised his hand and motioned for her to sit down and chat, and said, "Well, I know that there must be demand here for parts such as motherboards, but I want to ask first about your company's laptop business.
How was it last year?”
"...It's very good. It has been sold to Japan, the United States, mainland China and other places. The marketing department is preparing to increase investment and expand sales channels."
As soon as Marjorie finished speaking, Su Yehao asked her again: "How long have you been working at Huashuo? Are you familiar with the semiconductor industry on the island? How much is your current salary?"
"???"
After forcing a smile, Marjorie was confused and asked: "Why are you asking about my salary?"
"It's okay. I lack some guides around me. I should have more dealings with companies on the island in the future. Whether you take the initiative or just happen to approach me, it's considered fate. Maybe I can recruit you to help me. It just so happens.
You work at Huashuo again, and you still know how to sell."
"But Master Su, we just met..."
"What does it matter if we just met? Huashuo asked you to be the marketing director, which means you have already interviewed for me. I heard that the salary on the island is not too high. You can earn more by working for me. You can consider it."
Su Yehao was talking and playing cards.
I temporarily thought of poaching people, mainly because I felt that there were too few people under my command who understood the island's semiconductor industry, and it was not as easy as the locals to get things done.
The business is in a period of expansion, and there is a shortage of manpower everywhere. Don't worry about small things like poaching people.
Marjorie always felt that Su Yehao's sudden offer of an olive branch seemed a bit of a joke. With Linda Yun and Jiang Yu by his side, of course he would not consider certain special aspects, such as liking older women.
After thinking about it, Marjorie whispered: "I earned about NT$2 million last year. You don't want me to collect information for you, as a commercial spy or something?"
"...No, I do need your experience, but it has nothing to do with commercial espionage. How much does two million Taiwan dollars cost in Hong Kong dollars?"
After Su Yehao asked, Jiang Yu was the first to answer: "One Hong Kong dollar is equal to more than four New Taiwan dollars, that is... more than 400,000 Hong Kong dollars?"
"Oh, that's not much. It's a waste of talent. I'm considering opening a company on the island. I'm very short of manpower now. If Ms. Marjorie can recruit more elites for me, the salary can be easily negotiated..."
Take a basic salary of 100,000 US dollars as bait.
When she got on the plane, Marjorie was still thinking about how to get the order from Su Yehao. By the time she got off the plane, she had agreed to leave her job and work for Su Yehao instead.
But don't be in a hurry to resign. Before leaving, you can still get a reasonable preferential purchase price for Su Yehao and order a batch of computer motherboards that will be used next. After you get the commission, it won't be too late to actually change jobs.

Before I met Xiao Nizi, Father Su called me first.
It is said that Wu Weixiong's father asked him to come to him, and he cried until he was very young, saying that he didn't want to have a child in the family.
From Su Yehao's point of view, it doesn't matter if he spends some money to repay the favor. What really makes him embarrassed is that after choosing to help, he will obviously break the rules.
I still remember the news that a certain member of the Rockefeller family kept having his heart transplanted to save his life. When the scandal came out, it destroyed the century-old golden name of the entire Rockefeller family. Although it was later clarified that it was fake news, people are indeed paying special attention to this kind of news.
thing.
The rich already enjoy a lot, and only "everyone will die" is fair.
Once the inequality of medical resources is involved, allowing a small number of people the opportunity to spend money to extend their lives is undoubtedly a taboo. It is better to keep the news hidden. If it cannot be hidden, it will inevitably brew a major scandal that will sweep the world.
Su Yehao is still young and does not want to live with the scandal for the rest of his life.
If the reputation is ruined, the interests involved will be too great. Moreover, Yanmoji Group is preparing to go public, which is a critical moment.
therefore.
Su Yehao has always been unwilling to get involved. At this moment, he only proposed to his father that he should use the money to pay off the debt of gratitude and let the Wu family find a way out on their own. In this way, it has nothing to do with their family.
State the stakes clearly.
Father Su also felt that it was best to directly give him a sum of money and let his benefactor go to the United States to find a solution. In fact, he had not contacted him for more than ten years. It was the utmost kindness to do this.
Wu Weixiong, his father, risked his face and called Su’s father to cry out for the sake of his son.
As for Mr. Su, it's not like he needs to think about Su Yehao and try his best to prevent the situation from falling into the hands of others.
Giving money is repaying a favor, but having to find a way for someone personally breaks the rules and is obviously two different things...
