Zhou Tao and Zhang Yimou naturally knew each other.

When Zhou Tao first arrived in Yanjing, the two already knew each other, but later Zhou Tao went to Xiangjiang under the arrangement of Wu Jianye, and now he has become the head of the largest consortium in Xiangjiang, and Zhang Yimou has become one of the most well-known directors in China step by step.

Zhou Tao smiled: "Yes, I just came over, it's really been a long time!"

The two have indeed not seen each other for a long time, mainly because the two are not in the same circle, and even two circles that are very different.

There is still a big difference between now and later generations, the business tycoons of later generations like to sing a song and make a movie, plus at that time the entire entertainment industry has become one of the most important economic pillars in China, and the entertainment industry in this business does not only refer to the traditional film, television, music, but also live broadcast, short video and other businesses.

Therefore, the business tycoons have more contact with the entertainment industry, but now it is different, the current entertainment industry is still in an inferior industrial chain, and the so-called actors and directors are just dramas in front of real capital.

To really make star directors gain momentum, it is necessary to wait until the entertainment company goes public, and during that time, a lot of billionaires have been created among entertainment stars, so that the small wave of people in this group who are at the top of the pyramid have a certain right to speak.

If there was no Wu Jianye, it is estimated that Zhou Tao and Zhang Yimou would not have had any chance to meet!

"Old Wu, Weiping will leave tomorrow, and it just so happens that Zhou Tao is also here, let's go out to eat at night!" Zhang Yimou said with great interest.

Zhang Weiping on the side was also a little expectant, Luo Ziyu's appearance made him have a lot of doubts in his heart, not to mention, between Luo Ziyu and Wu Jianye, plus a man who just knew that he was called Lao Zhou, what kind of relationship between them made Zhang Weiping even more curious.

So he also wanted to take advantage of this meal to investigate.

Wu Jianye shook his head with a smile and said, "Let's forget it, Zhou Tao is finally here, I still have something to talk about, and when I return to Yanjing, I will invite Mr. Zhang!"

When Zhang Yimou heard that Wu Jianye had something to do, he had to say with some regret: "Okay, then wait for later!"

Because he knew that Zhou Tao had something to talk to Wu Jianye, Zhang Yimou didn't stay long, so he took Zhang Weiping and left Wu Jianye's room.

"Yimou, who is this Zhou Tao, why do you look very familiar with each other?" After leaving Wu Jianye's room, Zhang Weiping finally couldn't help the curiosity in his heart and asked Zhang Yimou.

Zhang Yimou replied directly: "Oh, you said Lao Zhou, he is Lao Wu's hair young, we used to meet when we were in school, but I heard that I went to Xiangjiang to do business, and I haven't seen him for a long time!"

Rumble!

Zhang Weiping suddenly connected everything, and when he was working at Siemens, Zhang Weiping knew that Tu Nan Technology was a subsidiary of Xiangjiang Yaoguang Group.

Now there is really no one who does business in China who does not know Yaoguang Group, as the group company with the most investment in China by the Xiangjiang Foundation, everyone naturally knows it.

As the CEO of Yaoguang Group, Zhou Tao, everyone has naturally heard of it, but at the beginning, Zhang Weiping was in no way to connect them, compared to Zhou Tao, Zhang Weiping was more impressed by Zhao Lei of Yaoguang Group, after all, Zhao Lei, as a representative of Yaoguang Group, lives in Yanjing all the year round.

And Zhou Tao is a little worse, although he will often come to Yanjing, but it is more for the development of the whole group and the meeting of the upper level, or he will meet with Wu Jianye alone, as for the businessmen of Yanjing, he really has not been in contact with a few.

Now hearing Zhang Yimou say this, Zhang Weiping understands everything.

However, there are still some discounts for this understanding.

For example, within the scope of Zhang Weiping's understanding, he knows why Wu Jianye can invest in his movies so unscrupulously.

In the past, many people thought that the reason why Wu Jianye was able to invest so much in his own movies was more because of the salary he got from filming movies in Hollywood before, but now it seems that Wu Jianye can be so rich, in fact, he was funded by Zhou Tao.

Backed by the Yaoguang Group in Xiangjiang, Wu Jianye can really shoot any kind of movie.

"Yimou, how is your relationship with this Zhou Tao?" Zhang Weiping immediately wanted to get in touch with Zhou Tao through Zhang Yimou's relationship.

Zhang Yimou said: "The relationship is not deep, I met through Lao Wu, what's wrong?"

Zhang Weiping said: "It's nothing, I just think that since everyone is friends, we should have more contact in the future!"

Although Zhang Yimou is not very good at getting along with people, it doesn't mean that he doesn't understand the world, after hearing Zhang Weiping's words, he actually understood what Zhang Weiping meant, thought about it for a while, but didn't say anything.

At this time, Zhang Weiping was also thinking about how to get in touch with Zhou Tao through Zhang Yimou's relationship, and did not notice Zhang Yimou's abnormality.

The two of them came to the hotel's restaurant speechlessly.

.......

"Is it really necessary to invest this kind of in China?"

At this time, in Wu Jianye's room, Zhou Tao asked Wu Jianye curiously.

This time, Zhou Tao and Luo Ziyu came to Hengdian because of a phone call from Wu Jianye, in which Wu Jianye asked Zhou Tao to officially expand Tunan's scale in China.

And it is not a small increase in investment, but a direct additional investment of 50 billion yuan!

With such a large-scale investment, Zhou Tao naturally came to inquire about Wu Jianye's intentions, this time not only Zhou Tao came over, but also Luo Ziyu, the general manager of Tunan Technology, also brought it, which shows that Zhou Tao attaches great importance to this matter!

And Wu Jianye's request for such a large-scale investment in China by Tunan Technology is actually an investment in three aspects.

One of them is naturally the research and development of semiconductors, although Tunan Technology has developed at an alarming speed in recent years, but in fact, the investment in research and development is also appalling.

As a reborn, Wu Jianye is very aware of how important semiconductors will have on a technology company in the future technology era.

In order to take his fate into his own hands, Wu Jianye does not want to be limited by others in the future.

At present, the three most successful companies in the world in the development of semiconductors are Intel in the United States, Samsung in Bangzi and Tunan Technology in Xiangjiang.

As for TSMC in Wanwan, it is still seeking development in foundry.

Originally, RB's semiconductor technology was the best in Asia, but RB's company lacked financial support and the persistence of leaders, so it was surpassed by Samsung and Tunan Technology two years ago.

In this industry, there is only one way, and that is to smash with money, or use money to smash the opponent, then be stoned to death by the opponent with money!

Fortunately, Tunan Technology is not short of financial support, and even the least of the three companies is short of money!

Especially in the breakthrough of memory technology, two years ago, Tunan Technology and Samsung launched the world's first 64MDRAM almost at the same time, both surpassing RB's NEC, and this year both sides will also launch 256MDRAM in order to seize the market.

In order to counter the squeeze between Tunan Technology and Samsung, the RB government will integrate the DRAM business of Hitachi, NEC, and Mitsubishi to form a "national team" Elpida to seek confrontation.

Even so, the RB people did not escape the fate of the rout.

And what Wu Jianye has to do is to continue to seize the market with Samsung.

What Wu Jianye has to do now is to take advantage of the fact that these industries are still in their infancy, quickly accumulate their own patents, and at the same time increase the chips in their hands, only in this way will they occupy a certain right to speak in the future business competition.

The second aspect is the development of lithography machine, which is also an extremely money-burning industry, but it is also a work that has to be done, fortunately before the collapse of the Soviet Union, Wu Jianye on behalf of Tunan Technology acquired all the technology and talents of the Lebedev Institute in this area.

As for the third aspect, it is about the research of liquid crystal technology!

In fact, in 1984, Samsung had already tracked LCD technology, established its own panel division in 91, and established its own first trial production line that year.

Tunan Technology established its own panel division earlier than Samsung, and it was established in 90 years, but the panel division has not earned a penny for Tunan Technology so far, but is losing money at a rate of 100 million US dollars per year.

In this regard, many people within Tunan Technology suggested that the panel division be removed, but under the strong intervention of Wu Jianye, the panel division was finally retained, and the additional investment was still continued!

This is a posture of breaking the boat, and it is precisely because of this that Tunan Technology has been ridiculed by many similar companies.

However, this did not shake Wu Jianye's determination.

LCD screen will become the most important business strategy territory in the world after the 21st century.

And this year, Wu Jianye finally decided to move all these manufacturers to China!

Although it also had its own production line in China before, it was not really large-scale, and now Wu Jianye is going to integrate these technologies!

In addition to these, Tunan Technology will also increase the research and development of GSM technology, with the rapid development of mobile phones, GSM technology has also become the top priority of major mobile phone manufacturers.

"Director Wu, I admit that the domestic labor costs and policies are more superior than those of Xiangjiang, but if we do this, the problems we will face will be very serious, and we will even be boycotted by most countries!" Luo Ziyu, as the general manager of Tunan Technology, naturally knows what Wu Jianye's decision means for Tunan Technology!

Wu Jianye said with a smile: "It's nothing more than that the sales of our products in Europe and the United States have been hit to a certain extent!"

Wu Jianye is naturally very clear about the consequences of doing this, but this does not shake Wu Jianye's determination.

"We can't give up our own development plans because of the suppression of us by some countries, as long as our technology always stands at the top of the world, then no matter who suppresses us, we can deal with it, as for the company's losses in this regard, you don't have to worry, I can afford to lose this money!"

Luo Ziyu was a little speechless, is this the money?

If your estimation is correct, as long as this news is released, Tunan Technology's annual loss will be at least more than 2 billion US dollars, which is not something that ordinary people can afford!

Zhou Tao also said: "Can we slowly figure it out, step by step, first set up an LCD division in China, and when the time is ripe, we will move other businesses to China?"

Wu Jianye waved his hand and said: "No need, I have already decided, this matter must be done in one step now, otherwise it will be more troublesome in the future!"

Zhou Tao is still fighting: "But now our mobile phones and computers have just gained a foothold in Europe and the United States, and now these two regions are also the two largest markets in the world, if we lose these two major markets, it will also be a major loss for Tunan Technology!"

Wu Jianye said: "There will definitely be losses, but it will not be as big as you said, as long as we protect our own patented technology, we can maintain most of our own market in this battle, as those foreign companies in the future need our technology more and more, we will definitely let go of certain restrictions on our products!"

Zhou Tao saw that Wu Jianye was so firm in his thoughts, so he had to say helplessly: "Then if this is the case, I suggest that Tunan Technology and Yaoguang Group be separated, after all, many companies under Yaoguang Group are in great need of the European and American markets, and we can't let the entire group suffer these blows because of one Tunan Technology!"

Yaoguang Group does have many industries that need the European and American markets, so Wu Jianye also knew Zhou Tao's intentions and said: "I have no opinion on this. ”

"And if you want to do this, you must get a certain degree of help from the state, have you talked to the upper echelons about this matter?" Zhou Tao continued to ask.

The investment of 50 billion yuan is definitely a super investment in China at this time, and the various issues involved in this do require the support of domestic high-level officials.

Wu Jianye said: "I have been on the phone with the upper echelons before, they are very welcome to our investment, this time I called you here for this matter, and after we decide, you can go to Yanjing to talk to the upper echelons about this matter!"

Seeing that Wu Jianye had arranged everything, Zhou Tao no longer objected, but this did not mean that he had no doubts in his heart.

So that night, Zhou Tao and Luo Ziyu stayed in Wu Jianye's room to discuss this matter with him, and Zhao Fei, who lived with Wu Jianye before, was driven to Zhang Yimou's room.

The three of them discussed for most of the night, and they didn't finish talking about everything, in fact, Zhou Tao and Luo Ziyu stayed in Hengdian for a total of three days, and almost every night they would discuss with Wu Jianye the specific exercise plan of this matter.

This is an investment involving 50 billion yuan, and it cannot be solved in a few words.

It wasn't until three days later that the three separated, Zhou Tao flew directly to Yanjing, while Luo Ziyu flew back to Xiangjiang to prepare for the next series of actions of Tunan Technology!
