Chapter 125: You have countless talents, and I have unparalleled national scholars (Part 2)
More than ten years later, when industry media people introduced Bayji Electric’s path to success, they always added two risk warnings at the end of the article:
1. TSMC’s successful experience may not be applicable to industry chasers;
2. Zhang Jianmou’s personal ability and contribution to TSMC are unreplicable.
He was born in Yongcheng, Zhejiang Province, attended Harvard, and transferred to MIT the following year. He worked at Sylvania Semiconductor and rose through the ranks at Texas Instruments until he returned to Wanwan.
He is not a professional, but he is a professional managing professionals.
He not only made brilliant achievements in business management, but also performed well in the economic and political fields.
Yes, it's politics.
Just because of politics, when the Taiwanese industry called him the ‘Father of Semiconductor Foundry’, there was not much opposition.
It was because of politics that Zhao Song dared to stand on this land, stop his chest, and face this godfather-level figure upright.
He held Zhang Jianmou's old hand respectfully and greeted him respectfully.
When introducing Sister Da Da, Zhao Song said loudly with a cheerful smile:
"Sister, in addition to being the chairman of Wanji Electric, Mr. Zhang also has another identity: the science and technology consultant of Wanwan's Ministry of Economic Affairs, and...the president of Wanwan Industrial Research Institute!"
As he spoke, Zhao Song glanced at the old face with his peripheral vision and muttered in his heart: Even for such a big official, you, the 'minister' of the economy, cannot participate in the APEC ministerial meeting.
Surprised or not? Unexpected or not?
It is because of such a big official that those rumors are taken seriously by the whole world:
He is not the "father of semiconductor foundry", Cao Xingcheng is.
"The history of Bayji Electric is just a history of the chip industry." It is also wrong. "The history of the struggle between Bayji Electric and Bay United Microelectronics is a history of the chip industry."
Li Dayan, who studied agriculture, knew nothing about semiconductors. Zhao Song had doubts in his mind about who was the leader in formulating the "cautious but patient" policy of strictly guarding against the mainland's semiconductor industry.
All he knew was that while this old man was advocating for the relaxation of the 'cautiousness, patience' policy, he privately said he would never build a factory in mainland China!
More than ten years later, Bayji Electric will break his promise and come to the mainland to build a factory, but it is not forced by the situation, but because there is no electricity - it seems that only the grassroots officials of flower growers in the world know how to deal with the local problems of "three connections and one leveling".
The importance of development!
Under Zhang Jianmou's instigation, Wanwan chip merchants were in a dilemma. On one side they had crabs and on the other side they had sticks. They wanted to eat them but were afraid of being beaten.
However, just this year, UMC Cao Xingcheng forcibly "landed" without opening up the authorities' policies. The severe crackdown he received triggered a large-scale "inspection and adjustment" campaign. Ultra-frequent searches of UMC were carried out, and even the private residences of senior officials were searched.
Subject to multiple surprise inspections.
As the incident intensified, in order not to implicate UMC, Cao Xingcheng suddenly decided to resign as chairman of UMC five years later and enter a state of retirement. Taiwan United Microelectronics also lost the final motivation to catch up with UMC.
Surprise or not, unexpected or not, relying on political means to defeat opponents is exactly the same as SMIC.
However, Zhao Song was not afraid of those methods at all.
........
With the sound of the shutter and the flash of lights, the four people came to the signature wall.
Seeing the fonts of the other three people, and looking at his own name, Zhao Song couldn't help but fall into deep thinking:
It's not scary to have ugly calligraphy. What's scary is that your calligraphy is the ugliest on the whole wall. It's not scary to be the ugliest. What's even more scary is that because he didn't want to grab the C position early, he had to put the ugliest name at the top.
Prominent location........
"I heard that this meeting process was Mr. Zhao's idea?"
An old question came from his ears, interrupting Zhao Song's embarrassing thoughts.
He replied respectfully: "Mr. Zhang, just call me by my name. Because it will be broadcast live, the three large conferences will use the red carpet format of the Avenue of Stars. So far, it seems that the effect is good."
After saying that, Zhao Song looked at Zhang Jianmou with a smile on his face, and asked cheerfully:
"I wonder if Mr. Zhang has ever been cheered by so many people in Wanwan."
Zhang Jianmou shook his head with a dumb smile, said nothing, and walked into the hotel lobby first.
Zhao Song shrugged his shoulders, Sister Da Da rolled her eyes and took his arm, and the two of them slowly followed.
.......
Ritz-Carlton Business Suite.
Li Linna and Xiao Yu were watching TV with interest.
But when they saw Zhao Song's performance, they all frowned in unison.
They are the people who know Zhao Song best in the world. Even if he occasionally behaves nervously, he will never show it on such occasions unless...
"Who is that old man?"
Xiao Yu asked angrily.
"Listening to the host's introduction, he seems to be the chairman of Bayji Electric."
Li Linna only answered after watching Zhang Jianmou's figure disappear from the hotel door.
She vaguely knew that that was the big boss Zhao Song wanted to deal with.
She and Xiaoyu knew clearly that Zhao Song was nervous.
.........
The cool breeze blown by the central air conditioner blocks the heat and noise outside.
The lobby was very empty, except for a few security personnel in the corner and a tall and beautiful hostess leading the way. Only the four of them were left following slowly behind.
"8 billion is really a big deal~ Could it be that Mr. Zhao wants to get involved in the OEM industry?"
At this time, Zhang Jianmou asked leisurely.
This is the reason why Zhao Song hates communicating with this kind of old man. He has been holding it back for a long time on questions that have nothing to do with them and seem to be full of profound meaning. He guesses them again and again to relieve his headache.
"Mr. Zhang, the amount Shenzhou borrowed when its market value was at its highest, plus the proceeds from Tesla's financing, and a dozen other companies, 80 is not a big deal.
As for entering the OEM industry, I think this is no secret for a long time. At least four of my companies are OEM products for large international companies.
Is Mr. Zhang asking this question for your brother-in-law?"
Zhao Song's OEM companies include: Wuming, Wesonic, Shanshi, Tesla, plus the future Shenzhou!
As for the question he asked in return - Foxconn classmate Guo Xiaoming is the cousin of the old man's wife.
Zhang Jianmou nodded, and then walked slowly with his head down. It was not until he reached the door of the conference hall that the etiquette lady gestured to invite him in, and then asked another question:
"Mr. Zhao's talented classmate is teaming up with several investment banks to lay out the financial market in the Bay Area. Does Mr. Zhao know?"
After asking, he walked into the empty conference hall first without waiting for Zhao Song to answer.
"I know that I gave her the money to train Tesla's future financial director. I didn't expect that she would choose Wanwan."
Zhao Song stopped Sister Da Da who was about to speak out angrily, and then replied calmly.
"Ha~"
Arriving at the center of the conference room, Zhang Jianmou stood up, slowly turned around, and faced Zhao and Song together with Lin Benjian.
"Zhao Song, I can probably guess your last resort."
This time, Zhang Jianmou finally stopped holding back and asked the question directly:
"But I still have some doubts. Can you help me clarify it?"
Zhao Song made a gesture of invitation and said with a smile:
"Please tell me, I will tell you everything you know!"
Zhang Jianmou nodded with an approving expression and then asked:
"Mainland is in a critical period of joining the WTO. I don't believe it dares to make any extraordinary moves on tariffs."
After asking, Zhang Jianmou also made a gesture of invitation.
“At present, I have not received any rumors that my home country’s government is going to adjust tariffs.”
Zhao Song emphasized the word 'motherland', and the smiling expression on his face made Lin Benjian on the side shudder involuntarily:
"But I have some objections to Mr. Zhang's words 'critical period' because..."
Zhao Song looked directly at the old man in front of him with wide eyes and said loudly: "Flower grower, I have signed up for the WTO."
"oh?"
Zhang Jianmou didn't care about Zhao Song's attitude, but looked at the young man with interest:
"Want to hear the details."
Zhao Song nodded and said solemnly and solemnly:
"At the end of the last century, that is, on November 15, 1999, China and the United States signed a bilateral agreement on the accession of flower growers to the WTO."
As he spoke, Zhao Song stood up straight and used an increasingly loud voice to represent his high momentum, causing Sister Da Da on the side to involuntarily let go of her hands and focus on him.
"After the signing was completed, the then chief negotiator of the United States called home excitedly, calling this "the greatest negotiation at the end of the century"!
Zhao Song stared at Zhang Jianmou with shining eyes and asked loudly:
"great!
Mr. Zhang, have you ever heard this term from an American high-level official in your life?"
Use this question to challenge me, even if you are a small provincial semiconductor godfather worth 200 billion, are you worthy?
Why don't you look at the people behind this problem?
Forty years of ups and downs, lasting fifteen years:
Chief designer, Shen Jueren, Tong Zhiguang, Gu Yongjiang, Premier Zhu, current leadership, Long Yongtu, Qi Honger......
Zhao Song stretched out his finger and pointed hard at the old man's feet:
"The land under your feet is 9.6 million square kilometers and has a population of more than 1.27 billion. This is the only country in the world with a full industrial system. Its economic aggregate and total import and export value both rank seventh in the world.
, foreign exchange reserves reached 200 billion US dollars, and foreign investment absorption ranked first among developing countries for 8 consecutive years.
Among them, the trade volume with WTO members accounts for 90% of this land's total foreign trade. During the "Tenth Five-Year Plan" period, it will import approximately US$1.4 trillion in equipment, technology and products from all over the world!
Mr. Zhang, the flower grower has obtained the consent of the United States to join the WTO.
Mutual benefit and win-win are driven by the general trend, and the current situation is determined by verbal conflicts.
Weigh the pros and cons and think long-term, and adjust your offense and defense to be different from the past.
