The initial visit to Taiwan led by Zhao Feng achieved fruitful results. The consortium rushed to support the legal team from Hong Kong and flew to Taiwan overnight to participate in the asset acquisition. Dozens of lawyers worked all night to form a formal legal document as soon as possible.
All the tedious and detailed preliminary work must be completed before the consortium leader Wang Yaocheng visits Taiwan.
All Wang Yaocheng had to do was sit in front of the stage at the signing ceremony and finalize the cooperation between the two parties with the stroke of a pen.
Then, we had drinks and conviviality with the dignitaries, chatting about the beautiful scenery of Taiwan, admiring the hard-working and brave people, attending boring state guest banquets, etc.
Then... there is no more.
Business operators have long since been put aside. An eight-inch wafer production line cost as little as 175 million US dollars and as much as 265 million US dollars was sold off in order to collect capital as soon as possible.
The three Taiwan-funded companies own a total of five eight-inch wafer production lines, and the total sales price was only US$974 million, which is really a bargain.
Including other facilities and fixed properties, the total amount is only 1.55 billion US dollars.
Compared with the original large investment, it was almost a discount, which can be said to be a loss to my grandma's family.
Investment plan changes
For the second phase of the Hynix project in Malaysia, it is enough to dismantle the three old lines. As for the original equipment investment of US$8 billion, just listen to it and don't take it too seriously.
Zhao Feng knew that the US$40 billion follow-up investment planned by Atlantic Jinko was used by the chairman to bluff people, but it was all a castle in the air.
Anyway, I didn’t specify how many years it would take to invest 40 billion U.S. dollars. It could be three years, five years, or eight years, so it doesn’t count as a delay!
Since 2001
After biting the bullet and launching two 12-inch wafer production lines, with a total investment of 25 billion US dollars, the consortium has also suffered a heavy blow, and it is also a heavy burden for Atlantic Jinko.
There won't be any large investments in at least the next two years, the costs have to be recovered first.
The purpose of making huge investments regardless of cost is to suppress the survival space of competitors, crush them in terms of financial strength, and defeat them psychologically.
Now that you have surrendered and put your investment plans on hold, you can make money with peace of mind.
now
After convincing TSMC, the leader of Taiwan's semiconductor industry, the chairman's trip to Taiwan was a huge success and absolutely perfect.
The two chip manufacturers, Lian Rui and TSMC, which have vowed to reject Hong Kong capital, can just die if they want to.
Who cares?
There is a pile of rags in the house, I really think of myself as a steamed bun, who am I?
I don’t know who dipped it in soybean paste and ate it.
Zhao Feng walked around the room twice in a happy mood, and couldn't help but criticize the two manufacturers, Lianrui and Taiwan Crystal.
Actually, this is really unfair.
Lianrui only has one eight-inch wafer production line, which was just built in August 1997. It reached full production of 30,000 wafers by the end of the year. It was only more than four years ago. The production line is relatively new and is definitely not shabby.
TSMC has two eight-inch wafer production lines, one from 1995 and one from 1998. They are well maintained and have a good reputation in the industry.
When it came to Zhao Feng's mouth, it turned into tatters. He was indeed a bit bully.
Taiwan-funded small and medium-sized chip manufacturers generally live in the shadow of Atlantic Jinko, and have suffered terribly from being suppressed in recent years.
Fear comes from deep inside. According to the words of Taijing’s boss:
Sometimes I would wake up in the middle of the night from nightmares, and then cry silently in agony until dawn.
In the dream, I was squeezed under me by a prehistoric monster and I couldn't breathe. I almost suffocated to death. I had such nightmares day after day, and it was like living in hell.
It’s so difficult!
Now that he is bankrupt and dead, he is relieved.
The sad words reveal the difficulties faced by Taiwan-funded chip manufacturers. The big fish eats the small fish, and the small fish eats the shrimp. No one is stronger and naturally has to feel that it is being ravaged.
"Director Zhao, please get ready. We will attend a grand reception later. There are many popular actresses from Taiwan and Hong Kong, including Brigitte Lin, Wang Zuxian, Meng Guangmei, and the famous female host Xiao Qiang. It's really a show of beauty!"
"Haha, the boss is coming to Taiwan soon. I want to watch the legal team here work all night, so I won't participate."
"How does this work?"
Zhao Feng's attitude was very firm: "Thank you for Taiwan's kindness. I have a heavy responsibility on my shoulders and don't dare to slack off!"
"this……"
"I'm very sorry. When the boss's visit to Taiwan goes smoothly, I will definitely follow him and have fun. But don't forget that I am a big shot in Hollywood and I am no stranger to attending parties and receptions."
"Uh...well, no wonder the God of Wealth King is so successful. With dedicated and capable subordinates like you, it's hard not to get rich."
Zhao Feng said with a solemn expression: "That's wrong. We all relied on the chairman's careful training to achieve what we have today. We will never forget our roots."
After saying that, Zhao Feng put down the phone.
Today, it can be said that she is successful and famous, and she is also a big shot in Hollywood. There is no unspoken rule that female stars are just small cases.
If they want, female directors and producers and even management can take a dive.
Zhao Feng has always adhered to his duties and worked conscientiously because he has his own grand ambitions. He hopes that one day he can be like Yu Chengde, Zhang Shuguang and even Wang Huiyang, and become a high-ranking official trusted by the chairman.
He is only 42 years old, which is when people are most ambitious in their lives.
This group of talented people trained in the Secretariat have gradually taken up middle and senior leadership positions in the consortium and become the backbone of the entire Wang Consortium.
Insiders of the consortium call them "Ouchi Experts" or "Guards". Although it is not without ridicule, it also explains the situation very well.
There are no factions in the party, and there are all kinds of strange things.
Americans also like to form small circles. Managers like Chambers of Cisco are considered to be the veteran group, as well as the Boston group, the New York group, the Silicon Valley group, etc., which are mostly divided by region and party.
Chinese managers are also divided into northern and southern factions based on their closeness, as well as the Hong Kong and Taiwanese factions. They are very complex and intertwined.
Wherever there are people, there will naturally be hills. This is inevitable.
The consortium is so huge, with more than a hundred senior managers above the vice president level, it is impossible for them all to gather together and have a close relationship.
Not to mention anything else, just within the Secretariat.
According to the order of entry into the consortium, the first batch of sea-crossing people is called the first phase, the second batch is the second phase, and the third batch is the third phase. After being tempered, the core backbones of these three phases have successively stepped into middle- and high-level leadership positions.
Those who enter the secretariat after that can only be considered the new generation. At most, they can enter the middle-level exchanges of the consortium, and are not yet qualified to be ranked among these three phases.
Zhao Feng is from the second phase and is the leader among this group of people.
The Guards is also an emerging force after the Hong Kong Island faction and the American veteran faction. It has won the attention and training of the chairman, especially since mainlanders make up the majority, almost 70%.
Among these people who have come to the fore, there are quite a few big shots.
Not to mention that in the first period, Yu Chengde independently controlled Atlantic Business Machines Company. He was the overlord of a stable consortium and his status was quite transcendent.
In the first period, Zhang Shuguang took control of Pacific Holdings Company and guarded the three-acre territory of Hong Kong for the chairman. Of course, he was also a prince.
Recently
Wang Huiyang, whom the chairman is cultivating, is in the second phase and has taken over Yingke Telecommunications Company. He is making great efforts to reorganize the company internally, recruit elites from all over the world, and cultivate echelon telecom management talents.
What?
Zhao Feng knows:
The chairman is playing a big game. Combined with President Huo Jiaguang's intensive negotiations in the United States, he will contact giants such as World Telecom Corporation in the United States that are trapped in debt traps. His intention is self-evident.
This is to reorganize a global multinational telecommunications group. What a huge undertaking!
While Zhao Feng was envious, he also wanted to have the opportunity to gain the trust of the chairman and take charge of a multinational international enterprise alone.
Zhou Xingxing said it well:
What is the difference between a person without ideals and a salted fish?
Thinking of this, Zhao Feng walked out of the room with great ambition.
In the large conference room of the hotel, the legal team and the business team were working overtime all night long, rushing to clear assets and capital, and draft a large number of contract texts.
You must keep an eye on this matter personally and not be careless at all.
Tomorrow we will move to the Hsinchu Industrial Park, where Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd., the leader of Taiwan’s electronic semiconductor industry, is waiting for everyone to face a more difficult battle...
We must do our best to ensure that the Chairman's trip to Taiwan ends perfectly, and any discrepancy is unacceptable.
