Chapter 1029: The situation is reversed, and it is not what it used to be
Returning again after a few months, Zhang Zhongmou obviously felt that the attitude of Wu Tao's side had changed subtly.
Regarding the fact that Cao Yicheng of Taiwan Union Power is also negotiating with Wu Tao, Zhang Zhongmou has long heard about it.
But with confidence in his own strength, he didn't take it to heart.
So much so that as soon as the negotiations began, Zhang Zhongmou was dumbfounded in the face of the three-in-one cooperation framework proposed by Ni Guangnan, he didn't expect that the other party's appetite would be so big.
However, TSMC's investment in the mainland this time only took the lead, that is, a plan for cooperation in the field of chip design.
As a result, Ni Guangnan and his entourage immediately looked at Zhang Zhongmou's group of people strangely.
Liu Deyin, who was sitting next to Zhang Zhongmou, was actually more anxious than anyone else.
There is no doubt that if the cooperation with Wu Tao can be reached, it will undoubtedly be of great benefit to him.
After all, Wu Tao's strength, Zhang Zhongmou is not clear, but he Liu Deyin is very clear.
In his opinion, such a young handsome man is definitely a big potential stock and the most ideal partner.
It's just that the current situation, which has encountered such a big disagreement at the beginning, is clearly a bad sign.
Ni Guangnan saw that there was a big difference in the cooperation intentions between the two sides, and immediately stopped talking, but the old god was busy drinking tea on the ground.
Tao Changxuan, who represents the direction of chip application, took over the conversation and said with a white face: "Mr. Zhang, we understand the strength of TSMC, so we especially hope that the cooperation between the two sides can be more comprehensive and deeper." Can you think a little bit more about that?"
Zhang Zhongmou's face was cold, and his expression became arrogant, pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, put his hands together and said: "There is an old saying in Huaxia, it is called a fat man who can't get fat by eating in one bite. You have put forward so many cooperation intentions, each of which requires the necessary technical background and talent reserves, I am worried, do you have the strength and foundation in this area?"
Faced with his boss raising this question, Liu Deyin was more anxious than anyone else.
frequently glanced at Zhang Zhongmou, but this not very polite question was still thrown out.
Tao Changxuan, who was originally singing with a white face, was not willing to continue singing, and like Ni Guangnan, he drank tea with a smile and without saying a word.
The situation suddenly became a little awkward.
This is obviously the meaning of looking down on yourself!
So Liu Ruoxi, who was in charge of presiding over the meeting, as the secretary general of the Huaxia Electronic Chip Association, had no choice but to speak.
"Mr. Zhang, since you raised this question, it seems that you don't know enough about our strength and accumulation. Okay, I'll briefly introduce it to Mr. Zhang and you. ”
Liu Ruoxi's voice is very nice and powerful.
"First of all, Tianxin Technology is a chip design and development company with a strong capital background, and its investor is Tianqi Investment, so I won't introduce much in this regard. ”
“…… To put it simply, Apocalypse Investment is currently a large-scale investment company whose capital scale is comparable to that of quantum funds, and since its establishment, it has made many successful cases that can be called textbook examples. It also has strong relationships with the Morgan Consortium, the Quantum Fund, the Agnelli Consortium and the Mitsui Foundation. ”
"Secondly, in terms of technical team, we have a returnee chip R&D team headed by Academician Ni Guangnan, and have successfully launched successful chip products such as LAMC60 and LAMC61. ”
“…… Not only that, Tianxin Technology has established cooperation with ASML, Toshiba Semiconductor, Olympus Optics, MediaTek, South Korea's Samsung and many other companies in the semiconductor business. ”
……
When Liu Ruoxi finished speaking loudly, the scene really fell into embarrassment.
Zhang Zhongmou thought that Wu Tao would treat himself as a god, but he didn't expect that his own strength was not bad, and there was no need to give himself a good face.
Especially now that the negotiations have reached this point, TSMC has no way back.
Either accept the other party's three-in-one chip cooperation framework, be led by the other party's nose, and continue to talk;
However, Zhang Zhongmou, who has always been accustomed to leading others by the nose, will categorically not agree to be led by the nose by mainland enterprises.
As a result, the originally planned three-day negotiation schedule ended ahead of schedule in just two hours.
There is only one result, each going back to his own house and looking for his own mother.
After the meeting, Zhang Zhongmou took the people to leave first, but Liu De stayed because of excuses, and on the surface he was catching up with Ni Guangnan and Tao Changxuan, but secretly he actually wanted to explore the bottom line of Wu Tao's side to see if there was still room for maneuver.
In this regard, when Zhang Zhongmou was leaving, he also turned a blind eye.
Liu Deyin pulled Ni Guangnan and Tao Changxuan to say a basket of good things, and their faces looked better.
Ni Guangnan still covered his teacup and didn't speak, but Tao Changxuan couldn't help but bury TSMC and said: "Vice President Liu, to be honest, I don't know what you TSMC thinks?
In this regard, Liu Deyin smacked his mouth and was speechless, so he could only find other reasons to change the topic: "However, your Mr. Wu, when he pleaded with our TSMC, it took a lot of effort to get the Taiwan authorities to cancel the overseas development restriction order of chips." Now Mr. Wu is hanging TSMC in the air, which is not appropriate. ”
Ni Guangnan put down the cup, slapped the table and said, "Vice President Liu, we have to speak with our conscience." We didn't make any promises to you at the beginning, did we? Besides, the cancellation of this restriction order by the Taiwan authorities is not the credit of your TSMC family, right?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Liu Deyin wiped the fine sweat on his forehead, "However, this negotiation has to continue, isn't it? ”
Tao Changxuan waved his hand and said: "That's impossible! To tell you the truth, Vice President Liu, in the previous cooperation negotiations between us and Taiwan Union Power, Mr. Cao basically recognized the three-in-one chip cooperation framework proposed by us, and our two sides have made great progress in the negotiations. If TSMC is still as insincere as it is today, then there is no need for us to continue talking. ”
"Don't don't, don't!" Liu Deyin was so anxious that he was sweating, but he also knew in his heart that if Taiwan Union Power had really agreed to this cooperation framework, then TSMC would basically not have been shortlisted.
Because TSMC's President Zhang didn't plan to show too much sincerity at all.
Liu Deyin, who returned to the hotel, quickly reported the news of the inquiry to President Zhang.
Sure enough, Zhang Zhongmou immediately vetoed the necessity of further contact and negotiation between the two sides.
But having said that, this time in order to open a breakthrough in policy, TSMC also spent a lot of effort. If mainland investment ends so quietly, no matter how you think about it, you will feel very lost.
What's more, if you don't advance against the current, you will retreat.
Once Taiwan UMC seizes this overseas cooperation opportunity, TSMC is likely to be overtaken by the other party in the future.
Recreate the situation of the two powers.
So TSMC is now ready to shoot and has to send it. It has no choice and must take this step with determination!
