At Beishi Songshan Airport, the red-eye flight finally ended.
Lee Jae-yong's face was sleepy, his eyes were as red as a rabbit, dragging his tired body, he got off the plane with his secretary and others.
At the exit, the branch's executives had been waiting for a long time.
"what time is it now?"
Lee Jae-yong got into the car and yawned.
"It's just past four-thirty."
The secretary looked at his watch and said, "It's still early for TSMC to go to work. President, how about we go to the hotel to rest for a while and then meet with Mr. Liang?"
Li Zaiyong took off his glasses and rubbed his face: "No, send our people to keep an eye on him 24 hours a day. If you meet Lu Fei, report to me immediately."
"ah?"
The secretary was shocked. If he hadn't tried to persuade Liang Mengsong before Lu Fei, then why would he have rushed over in such a hurry? It was a shame!
"big eater!"
Li Zaiyong put on his glasses again, "Mr. Liang's decision to re-core shows that he has been convinced by Lu Fei, a bastard. How sure do you think you can change his mind in a positive way?"
"This this……"
The secretary hesitated, "President, what should we do?"
"idiot!"
Lee Jae-yong rolled his eyes: "Of course we have to start with Mr. Liang's family. As soon as dawn comes, you will arrange for me to meet with Mrs. Liang, and I will personally do her ideological work."
"Oh, Mrs. Liang will definitely listen to the president."
The secretary smiled sadly: "She definitely doesn't want her father and brother to lose their jobs. Jie Jie Jie~"
"Stupid!" Li Zaiyong frowned.
"I'm sorry, President."
The secretary was startled and apologized repeatedly: "You shouldn't threaten Mrs. Liang like this, otherwise it will definitely hurt Mr. Liang's heart."
"You are stupid!"
Lee Jae-yong's eyes flashed fiercely: "We need to let Mrs. Liang understand in a subtle way, does she want her natal family to continue to stay in Bangzi? Not helping Samsung is betraying the country!"
"Ah, yes, yes, president."
The secretary couldn't help but feel horrified. After offending Samsung, why did he still think about it?
"Did Mrs. Liang tell me what conditions this bastard Lu Fei offered to Mr. Liang?"
Lee Jae-yong leaned back on his chair and closed his eyes to rest.
The secretary replied: "No, Mr. Liang kept silent, but the bargaining chip must be quite big, otherwise he would not have agreed so simply."
"This is going to be troublesome."
Lee Jae-yong breathed out: "TSMC, how do you think they will react when receiving Mr. Liang's resignation?"
"I must be happy!" the secretary blurted out.
"Why?" Lee Jae-yong asked curiously.
you idiot!
The secretary secretly slandered in his heart and said respectfully on the surface: "President, at Samsung, you are the undisputed successor of the old chairman, but it is different at TSMC. Zhang Zhongmou has never designated a successor. Originally, Mr. Liang was devolved.
Competitors have squeezed and suppressed him, and now he has resigned on his own initiative. How can those people be unhappy? They will definitely get Mr. Liang out as quickly as possible!"
"That's even worse."
Li Zaiyong sat up violently, "No, no, well, we must give TSMC a warning."
"Mention, what are you reminding me of?" the secretary asked in surprise.
"Let the branch report to the media and say that mainland China's semiconductor companies are poaching again, Liang Mengsong is about to be poached by Lu Fei, and TSMC is in danger. That's about it."
Lee Jae-yong raised a smirk on his lips: "Look for a few more companies, I want to see news like this today."
"The president is wise!" the secretary said flatteringly.
"Humph, Lu Fei, you little bastard, don't even think about taking Mr. Liang away from me. He is the person that Samsung likes!"
Lee Jae-yong narrowed his eyes into a straight line.
To completely muddy the waters, there is no need to wait for Samsung to take action. Zhang Zhongmou is the first to sit still. SMIC has Zhang Rujing, which is enough for TSMC to have a headache, let alone Liang Mengsong!
I don’t believe TSMC would leave Lu Fei alone!
…………
On the same day, Liang Mengsong submitted his resignation to TSMC.
That day, TSMC was shaken up and down, and soon the shock wave of the earthquake spread to the entire semiconductor industry in Taiwan.
Everyone in the circle talks about it, and everyone has different opinions.
Everyone is guessing the inside story of Liang Mengsong’s resignation!
However, the public opinion had only been fermenting for a long time, and Baodao's newspapers took the lead. The front pages of the financial and technology sections all pointed the finger at Lu Fei, and even conspiratorially involved the other side.
"The high-tech industry is the lifeblood of Bayan's economy, and semiconductor technology is the 'sacred mountain that protects the country' that supports economic strength..."
Yesterday, SMIC poached ten people, and today, Complex Core poached one person. Just sit back and watch the foundation of the sacred mountain that protects the country be hollowed out, and then remain indifferent. Can TSMC still stand firm in its current position?"
Looking at the news in traditional Chinese, Lu Fei had a headache. He threw the newspaper aside and said to himself:
"This can be considered a secret visit, who will reveal it?"
I can't help but think of Wang Xuehong, but it doesn't make sense!
So in order to avoid the limelight, I had to cancel tonight's meeting with Liang Mengsong, change my schedule, and visit Wang Yongqing.
The Wang family's mansion, with its lush green surroundings, looks like a fairyland.
"Mr. Lu, when dad heard that you were coming, he deliberately canceled all arrangements and held a banquet for you at home. My dad is usually very frugal and only eats a bowl of braised pork rice."
Wang Xuehong stood at the door, welcoming guests warmly.
"Mr. Wang has promoted me."
Lu Fei didn't dare to be slow and walked in quickly.
We saw a quaint Chinese-style hall, decorated with antiques and furnished with furniture made of various woods. Among them, sitting on the Taishi chair in position C, was an old man with a slightly withered appearance.
He had gray hair and sparse eyebrows. He was obviously lean, but he was energetic and his eyes were bright. He looked directly at Lu Fei and Wang Xuehong directly opposite him and said with a smile: "Here you come?"
Before Lu Fei could react, Wang Xuehong beside him had already trotted all the way to the Grand Master's chair and said respectfully:
"This is the business tycoon you always talk about meeting, Mr. Lu Feilu."
"In front of Mr. Wang, I am just a brat."
Lu Fei said hello politely. The man in front of him was now the richest man in Taiwan and the spokesman for the Formosa Plastics Group. He was also a man who was on par with Kazuo Inamori and was known as the "God of Management".
Although in Neon, you can be called an immortal regardless of whether you are high or low.
But Wang Yongqing is definitely a great figure in politics and business.
Even Zhang Zhongmou of TSMC is just a junior.
"Does Lu always drink tea or coffee?
Wang Yongqing has no pretensions and is kind-hearted.
Lu Fei asked for tea. He thought that the 91-year-old man would also drink tea, but unexpectedly he chose coffee.
I saw him pouring two boxes of creamer, then pouring some coffee into the small box of creamer, draining out the remaining creamer, and pouring it back into the coffee.
"How old is Mr. Lu this year?"
"I'm actually 25 years old."
“You can accomplish so much at the age of 25!”
Wang Yongqing couldn't help but sigh: "It's really the waves behind the Yangtze River that push the waves ahead. I can't accept it anymore, hahaha~"
"Dad, you are not old. There are few entrepreneurs as old as you who still talk about innovation and keeping pace with the times."
Wang Xuehong pursed her lips.
"I think Mr. Wang's mentality is right. When people grow old, they should obey their elders. Innovation should be a matter for young people."
Lu Fei said in astonishment: "I came to Wanwan a few years ago. At that time, it was a group of old-timers who talked about innovation with me. This time I met again, it was still this group of old-timers who talked about innovation. It seemed that I didn't see a few new ones.
businesses and new young entrepreneurs.”
Wang Xuehong's face suddenly changed. Before she noticed her father's expression, she heard him change the subject: Ms. Wang and her Hongda are one and the same. It seems that Mr. Wang is open-minded and willing to leave opportunities to young people and is willing to hand over the baton to Wang.
Miss."
"Haha, haha~"
When Wang Yongqing heard him praising the father and daughter, he smiled so much that his eyes rolled up, "Even if Mr. Lu only has this eloquence, he can still make a name for himself at such a young age, but I don't know why Mr. Lu is so convinced that Xuehong can do the same."
A world created?"
"Because Ms. Wang has good eyesight."
The corner of Lu Fei's mouth rose: "Not only did I choose a smartphone, but I also added Android. I dare not predict how high HTC's future achievements will be, but at least it will be a leader in the electronic field of Wanwan, and may even be the leader!"
This is not a compliment to me, it is clearly a compliment to yourself!
Wang Xuehong rolled her eyes, seeing through it without saying anything.
Modest and flamboyant, Wang Yongqing became more and more pleased with him as he looked at him, showing a satisfied smile: "That's why Mr. Lu did not choose the retired Jiang Shangyi, but the technical madman Liang Mengsong."
"..."
Lu Fei looked at Wang Xuehong for the first time and saw that she had a confused look on her face, as if she was innocent and said, "It's not me who leaked the secret."
"I saw the news on TV."
Wang Yongqing waved his hand, "It seems like someone doesn't want you to bring Liang Mengsong to the mainland smoothly, right?"
"That's right, it wouldn't be like this if it were Jiang Shangyi."
Lu Fei said sincerely: "According to our investigation, in TSMC, Dr. Liang is responsible for doing things, and Jiang Shangyi is responsible for harvesting. The company has always compared Jiang Shangyi to Stanford and Dr. Liang to Berkeley.
People with money and background who are flattering go to Stanford. Only smart people with no money and no background go to Berkeley. So I seriously doubt that Jiang Shangyi has any talent. He may only have good words and management skills. I'm afraid he has little real talent in wafer foundry.
No, not even qualified to be a rebel general."
"Daddy, it's true."
Wang Xuehong is also in the IC circle, and everyone in it is well-known.
Jiang Shangyi actually took the wife route and helped Zhang Zhongmou match up his current young wife. Relying on this "special personal relationship", he has been able to secure his position. In the final analysis -
He is Zhang Zhongmou’s number one tool!
"You young people, haha, haha!"
Wang Yongqing almost burst into tears as he laughed.
At this moment, the self-combing maid reminded everyone to serve the table, and they saw that the Eight Immortals table was filled with rich and exquisite dishes.
For the Wang family, this is an unprecedented event.
Wang Xuehong said: "Mr. Lu, I'm very curious about the level of your multi-core semiconductor process?"
"I don't hide anything from Mr. Wang."
Lu Fei said in a serious tone: "90nm is already in mass production, and 65nm is currently in risky trial production. If Dr. Liang can help us, we will be able to conquer it in the first half of next year at the earliest and in the second half of this year at the earliest."
"What?!"
When Wang Xuehong heard this, she was so shocked that Kuai Zi fell to the ground.
Even Wang Yongqing, who had just entered meditation as an old monk, showed a rare expression of surprise. If it were SMIC, it would never be like this, because Zhang Rujing is in charge, but this is a complex core!
Fuxin is a different company from SMIC. Although it had support from Toshiba and SMIC in the beginning, and hired a large group of talents from TSMC and even European and American semiconductors, it was ultimately incompatible with its peers.
He seems to be born to be a troublemaker in Sturm und Drang.
Even though Fuxin has obtained the 90nm process technology and successfully mass-produced it, and has also won many orders from SMIC and TSMC such as Infineon, Qimonda, Qualcomm, etc., many domestic semiconductor companies, including them, are envious and jealous——
What is a complex core?
It's just good luck, spending money to recruit people, spending money to introduce and purchase technology, isn't it just because of your logic?
Why don't we just rely on Mr. Lu, a layman!
But I never expected that the composite core could reach 65nm?
What is the concept of 65nm?
The industry these days recognizes that the 65nm process is a limit. For example, TSMC conducted R&D and trial production, but it was not until the end of 2006 that mass production was completed, which took three or four years.
As for SMIC, there is still no news of breakthrough.
In other words, Fuxin may be the first mainland semiconductor company to break through the 65nm process node!
what does that mean?
Wang Xuehong has a very good understanding of the current technical level of major international manufacturers. It is because she knows so well that she finds it even more incredible.
lphone, Android, Feigou, Penguin...
Mr. Lu, I don’t know how many surprises you have in store!
"If the yield rate is not improved, the process will be very unstable. If we slowly explore and stabilize the production parameters, this stage may take two years or three years, so we really need Dr. Liang!"
Lu Fei raised his voice and told the truth.
"Do you think Zhang Zhongmou can tolerate this Liang Mengsong?"
Wang Yongqing was silent for a while, stopped smiling, and said with a serious face: "If I can bear it, I won't call him Zhang Zhongmou!"
Lu Fei smiled and said: "I just can't bear to be hidden in such a great age, so I want to invite him to give lectures in the Department of Electronic Engineering of Shuimu University in the name of a visiting professor."
"Building the plank road openly and secretly attacking Chen Cang, but do you think Zhang Zhongmou would believe this?" Wang Yongqing narrowed his eyes.
"That's impossible to say."
Lu Fei shook his head: "He is too old. The most important thing for TSMC right now is his successor. Dr. Liang's departure is not necessarily a bad thing."
Wang Yongqing said: "Even if a tiger takes a nap, he will wake up. He has taken care of Zhang Rujing, but he can't take care of Liang Mengsong? No matter how old the tiger is, it can eat people whenever it wants."
"Yes, I was just about to ask Mr. Wang for advice on how to deal with TSMC?"
Lu Fei deeply agrees. SMIC is now ranked third in the world and is in its prime development period. How can future generations become such a bear?
It has been subjected to endless suppression by TSMC.
SMIC was brought to the international court four times, constantly relying on legal battles, patent battles, and public opinion battles to consume SMIC's strength, and finally grabbed US$375 million and 10% of the shares.
Moreover, he successfully drove away his close friend Zhang Rujing.
Without the leader in charge, civil strife broke out directly at SMIC.
But dealing with Liang Mengsong is even easier.
As long as he is entangled in protracted litigation, forcing him to divert his time and energy, and even having to appear in court in person, he will naturally have no time to devote himself to the research and development of complex core technology.
"Mr. Lu is not a local and may not understand our judicial system. How can you sum it up? In 6 words, the thunder is louder than the raindrops."
Wang Yongqing bluntly said that when the thunder is loud, everything will be "investigated according to law." When the raindrops are light, they will take advantage of each other. If TSMC goes to the Bay Court, the result can be imagined, and it is destined to be dead and no life.
Unless like Zhang Rujing——
Let Liang Mengsong also change his household registration!
"I can't force Dr. Liang to do this, and even if Dr. Liang gives up voluntarily, can TSMC still sue the international court? Or is there no better way to treat the symptoms but not the root cause?"
Lu Fei frowned and said, "For example, if Mr. Wang comes forward, won't Zhang Zhongmou give you this face in return?"
"Of course he will give me some face, but he will only give me Liang Mengsong's face, and will not spare Liang Mengsong's face. However, there may be a candidate who can give me this face."
"who?"
"Can Mr. Lu guess who he is?"
Wang Yongqing dipped his finger in some water, wrote the character "horse" on the table, and then stared at him with a smile.
Lu Fei's eyes lit up, and he vaguely guessed that it was the man with the "Grasp of the Century", so he wrote "英" in red wine.
"Mr. Lu knows him?"
Wang Yongqing's eyes widened and he couldn't help being shocked.
"do not know."
Lu Fei said meaningfully: "But I have seen a movie called "Black Gold", and there is a prototype of Minister Feng in it. It should be him. After all, after all, the character for water plus horse, isn't it Feng!"
