April 15, 1991.

Jiang Yuehua went west, and Yu Zixian went south.

One goes to earn money, the other goes to spend money.

Yu Zixian, who originally planned to go to the Soviet Union with Jiang Yuehua to make a lot of money, had to rush to ASML's Hsinchu office on Bay Island to discuss more details of the NSR-1505G lithography machine.

At this time, only Jiang Yuehua rushed to the Soviet Union with her assistant, and then carried out the "Snowball Plan" to make the wealth roll between the dollar and the ruble, and it will roll bigger and bigger.

The moment when the ruble is seriously devalued, it is time to receive the goods!

Of course, in the Soviet Union, there were also the advance team that was already there, as well as Zhao Xue'an and Lu Yuan, who were both poaching people and doing business......

At present, in addition to Jin Zhijiang, who is in charge of the daily work of the Tokyo branch of Magic Core Technology, there are also Cao Fei, who is running around for the equipment on other chip production lines such as ion implanters, and Zhang Zhiyong, who continues to dig the corner of the Pokémon game......

On the side of Sifang Electron Tube Factory, there is Wang Qisheng's team that has introduced (S)TN-LCD liquid crystal technology and production lines, and there is another small team that is negotiating with Yuebenxu Glass to establish an electronic glass joint venture.

After confirming that Wang Qisheng's progress was going well, Yu Zixian was relieved. The rest of the matter, I believe they will do it well.

As for the joint introduction of Tomoki Kashima, it was suspended because of the interference of the city. But for Yu Zixian, it doesn't matter at the moment.

It's just that Yu Zixian will see what specific performance Luo Shouwu has at that time, otherwise, hehe...... Yu Zixian can expect that the introduction of the production line will definitely have a chance to see jokes......

This is the current state of the joint mission's activities.

In addition, there is Hao Meng.

Because Tomoki Kashima was urgently dispatched to Bay Island by Yu Zixian to check and confirm the situation of ASML's SNR-1050G lithography equipment.

Lithography machines can be precision instruments with tens of thousands of super-precision components. Whether it is long-distance transportation, follow-up handling, installation and commissioning, there are strict special requirements and a complete set of processes.

Otherwise, in the process of handling and installation, if you are not careful, the original micron-level precision reading instrument will eventually fail to achieve the degree of accuracy control that is required to be invalidated.

And what Yu Zixian didn't want to take over was a pile of broken copper and iron.

Therefore, Tomoki Kashima will follow Yu Zixian to the warehouse of Wandao Moss Semiconductor Co., Ltd., and cooperate with the staff of ASML's Hsinchu office to see what is going on.

Hao Meng stayed behind to temporarily take over Tomoki Kashima's team and continue to implement the "Core Great Wall" plan.

In the space of ten days, Tomoki Kashima used his previous contacts at Suwa Seiko and NEC to set up a consulting company focusing on information consulting.

Yesterday, when Yu Zixian heard that Tomoki Kashima had set up a micro-IT consulting company with the funds he gave, he was quite surprised, and he was even more impressed by Tomoki Kashima.

Originally, his plan was just to ask Kashima Tomoki to find some people, and then sort out the distribution of the industrial chain in the semiconductor industry, including companies and products, human resources, etc., and prepare for information and intelligence for the follow-up poaching.

However, now Tomoki Kashima has directly put together a consulting company, although it is still miniature, but the shelf has already been fought......

Consulting firms have a very strong influence in later generations.

It is not well known in China, but there are many powerful information consulting companies abroad.

Now Tomoki Kashima has given himself a surprise. I thought that Tomoki Kashima was just a technical talent, but I didn't expect that he also had a strong industry sensitivity, and according to the task arranged by Yu Zixian, he began to get involved in a new industry that is closely related to investment.

Why Yu Zixian was impressed by Kashima's decision, and even shocked, it is necessary to explain the development and importance of foreign IT research and consulting companies.

With the globalization of the economy and market, the technology industry is becoming more and more dependent on enterprise information consulting due to the rapid development and updating of technology.

We won't talk about it in China for the time being, and at this time we are still busy exploring the market economy...... At this time, abroad, especially in the United States and Japan, with the sustained and rapid growth of the semiconductor industry and the information industry economy, the market competition is becoming increasingly fierce, and the demand for research and consulting services is growing rapidly, and the corresponding demand for IT consulting services is also growing explosively.

Especially at present, the United States is forcing Ben to sign the "Second Japan-US Semiconductor Agreement" for the sake of its own semiconductor market interests. Moreover, when the United States began to cooperate with South Korea and Wandao to implement a strategy of suppression and weakening of the semiconductors, how did these strategic decisions and negotiation data come out in the highly developed capitalist market economy of the United States and the United States?

I don't rely on my own consulting firms.

Some of them are advisory groups composed of subordinate organizations of government units themselves, or American think tanks or think tanks that are closely related to government units.

Since the era of World War II, think tanks have played an increasingly important role in the formulation of domestic and foreign policies of Western countries, especially in the United States, where they have influenced major decisions in the political, economic, social, military, diplomatic, scientific and technological aspects of the United States with accurate and comprehensive analysis and judgment, extensive and in-depth contacts with political circles, and influence among the public, so that everyone regards American think tanks as the "fourth department" after the legislative, executive and judicial departments.

Whenever there is tension in international relations, think tanks can be seen active in the development of the international situation. In particular, those with strong ideological overtones sell political ideas and indoctrinate ideas to policymakers.

For example, the cause of various sweater stations during the period 8102-9102 was actually admonished by the think tank staff of various interest groups and consortia......

In 8102, most of the research on the Republic by American think tanks focused on the two topics of "the rise of China" and "US-China relations". Some scholars believe that China's rise is an "inevitable threat" and advocate containing and preventing China's rise, while others believe that China's rise is not an inevitable threat, but that it needs to prevent China's rise from becoming an "offensive state that threatens its neighbors and U.S. allies and their interests." The second viewpoint has a greater influence and guides the overall China policy of the US government. Bader, director of the Center for China Policy Studies at the Brookings Institution, once said that "it is wrong to spread *****," but "maintaining an arms embargo on China can put the United States in a favorable and strong position."

However, even think tanks that hold the second view have a wide range of attitudes towards China depending on their background and philosophy. For example, the Brookings Institution advocates trade cooperation with China and joint counter-terrorism, while the RAND Corporation advocates "containment + engagement", especially on the Taiwan issue, and the RAND Corporation adheres to the principle of "maintaining the status quo in the Taiwan Strait......

In recent years, US think tanks have greatly strengthened their military research on China. They keep a close eye on various areas of China's military, including China's military strategy (China's national defense policy, security concept, nuclear strategy, decision-making mechanism, etc.), the military situation in the Taiwan Strait, China's military science and technology, and the South China Sea issue......

Their think tanks, with diverse backgrounds and interests, first form new policy propositions through research and analysis, and then try to win public support and policy makers by publishing books and periodicals, holding various exchange activities, and using media propaganda.

On the one hand, think tanks send elites to government agencies to change from researchers to decision-making participants, and on the other hand, they also provide shelter for officials who are ousted during the change of government.

All these have laid a solid foundation for the prosperity of the information consulting industry in the United States, and the cost of the entire information consulting industry in the United States even accounted for more than 2% of the GDP of the United States at one time.

In the U.S. IT industry, there are also many IT research and consulting companies. One of the most authoritative is Gartner.

Gartner IT Consulting is the most comprehensive global research group that reports and analyzes the technologies that drive business and organizational success on more than 200 research topics, including customer relationship management (CRM), IT procurement, the business value of IT, enterprise infrastructure, supply chain management, wireless, emerging technologies, security and IT spending, and strategy......

Now, under the guidance of Tomoki Kashima, a seedling-level consulting company with Yu Zixian's background has been established...... Yu Zixian even thought of a Chinese name - Magic Want Consultation.

Yu Zixian looks forward to the day when Magic Consulting can reach the height of Gartner - it's not bad to want to eat fart.

After arriving at Bay Island, Yu Zixian did not rush to the ASML Hsinchu office as soon as possible, but rushed to Taipei's Daan District first.

Taipei's Daan District is the address on Chen Shulin's business card to Yu Zixian.

Taipei's luxury residential areas are mainly distributed in Da'an District, Xinyi Planning District and Dazhi Repainting District, in addition to the advantages of celebrity blessing and community planning, the price is also very high.

They are all big bieye, at least above 100 square meters, and the transaction price of each household starts at 50 million, which are all luxury houses that stand out from the crowd.

In later generations, the Xinyi Planning Area of Taipei City, where Chen Shulin is located, where the wealthy gather, including Cao Xingcheng, honorary chairman of UMC, Lin Baili, chairman of Quanta, and Wang Wenyang, chairman of Hongren Group, all lived here.

As for the Dazhi repainting area, it has recently become a new luxury residential settlement because it is surrounded by the Keelung River. For example, Zhang Zhongmou, chairman of TSMC, Li Kunyao, chairman of AUO, and others all chose to settle in the Dazhi repainting area.

Of course, the residence information of these tycoons was only known to Yu Zixian a few years later. When Yu Zixian wanted to contact Cao Xingcheng, chairman of UMC, it was Chen Shulin who helped to introduce him.

Only then did Yu Zixian know that Cao Xingcheng and Chen Shulin actually lived in the same district, and they were not far away, and the two met occasionally...... Of course, that's all for later.

At this time, Yu Zixian's purpose in coming to Taipei to find Chen Shulin was to find Chen Shulin to make some money.

Now Yu Zixian really has no choice, the snowball plan is just being launched, and I want to see the benefits at least at the end of the year or the beginning of next year.

But the opportunity given by ASML this time was too rare, Yu Zixian didn't want to give up, and decided at will that he had to come and have a look.

However, before that, the issue of funding needs to be put in place.

According to the company's production line upgrade plan and the current quotation from the manufacturer, at least $101 million will be required, including two 1.5-micron lithography machines.

But now, where does Yu Zixian have this money? Originally, when he thought that the "Snowball Project" would make money, he happened to pay the second equipment payment and the final payment. But now that the opportunity is in front of him, the capital plan has to be advanced, which suddenly worries Yu Zixian.

Thinking of Chen Shulin's financial promise, for the smooth implementation of the Xiangji production line transformation plan, Yu Zixian felt that his trip to Taipei would have to go through it no matter what, even if it was cheeky.

Of course, whether this fund is an investment or a loan depends on the results of the negotiation between the two companies. However, when the time comes, it mainly depends on Chen Shulin's intentions.

When the taxi took Yu Zixian, Kashima Tomoki, and Cheng Du to their destination in Taipei's Da'an District, Yu Zixian looked at the two-story villas within a radius of several kilometers, or the three- or four-story ground floor villas......

When he waited for the address on the business card, Yu Zixian exclaimed, this is really a small forest in the city, a good place to see, full of greenery, high and low!

When he was in the city, Yu Zixian called, fortunately Chen Shulin was there, otherwise Yu Zixian would have been delayed for a while......

When Chen Shulin and Mrs. Chen heard that Yu Zixian had arrived in Taipei, they were very surprised and had to come to pick them up, but Yu Zixian thought about taking a turn by himself and familiarizing himself with Taipei, a place haunted by the mainland...... So I insisted on taking a taxi myself.

At this time, when Yu Zixian arrived, at the gate of the villa manor, there was already a housekeeper waiting at the door with two servants.

After Yu Zixian reported his name, the other party directly connected Yu Zixian and the three of them to the car, which is a bit similar to the factory of the sightseeing car, but it is a little smaller, surrounded by wide glass, and the field of vision is quite wide.

After waiting for the car to drive for four or five minutes, we arrived at the main building of the manor, a three-story garden-style building with Ming and Qing dynasty characteristics.

And Chen Shulin was standing at the door waiting for Yu Zixian.

Seeing Yu Zixian coming, Chen Shulin walked down the steps to the car.

Yu Zixian hurriedly got out of the car and ran over: "Uncle Chen, how dare you greet you at the door, I'm really embarrassed...... I'm a junior, Uncle Chen is just too much to promote me......"

"Haha, the first time the virtuous nephew came to me, I naturally welcomed it warmly, this time stay for a while, I will let Xiaohai and them accompany you around!"

"Thank you, Uncle Chen. ”

"Let's go, let's go up. Your aunt had to come down, but considering her health, I didn't dare to let her down......"

"Uncle and aunt are so polite. ”

Walk through the green courtyard, go around the ring corridor, and enter the small building.

Yu Zixian saw Mrs. Chen standing in the hall and waiting for him in the big living room: "Auntie......"

"Zixian, I see you've grown taller, you seem to be getting a little fatter, aren't you?"

"Auntie, do it quickly. This is a drink that I bought from this book and other precious herbs such as ginseng...... Drinking it regularly is good for the heart and other cultivation. ”

"Virtuous nephew, I have a heart. ”

……

After the meeting and chatting, Chen Shulin brought Yu Zecheng, Kashima Tomoki and Cheng into the small living room of the study.

Chen Shulin's home is elegant, refreshing, whether it is inside or outside the building, it is a building and decoration with obvious Ming and Qing characteristics, and the study room is full of sweat.

"Virtuous nephew, you just said that there is something to discuss, and now you can say it. ”

"Uncle Chen, this is the semiconductor expert specially hired by our Xiangji and the general manager of Moxiang Consulting. He used to be the deputy chief engineer of the liquid crystal division of Suwa Seiko, and later served as the person in charge of the 0.8-micron production line of the semiconductor giant NEC......"

Yu Zixian introduced Tomoki Kashima to Chen Shulin.

Kashima Tomoki's shining service experience is also a demonstration of Yu Zixian's strength. If you want to make money, proof of strength is essential......

"At present, the procurement of equipment for upgrading the production line of Xiangjidian is in full swing. Although there were some difficulties in the procurement of lithography machines before, the process of our multi-channel lithography machines was extremely smooth...... Now the procurement plan is actually ahead of schedule......"

When it came to the most critical place, Yu Zixian felt a little speechless......

"Is the previous 5 million not enough......

"Uh...... Uncle Chen, yes!" Yu Zixian pursed his lips and said embarrassedly.
