Chapter 264: Zhang Zhongmou joins

Zhang Zhongmou's photo, Li Zetian had seen it in his previous life, medium build, likes to wear suits, small eyes, and looks amiable. He was born in 1931 and is now only 53 years old, which is not very old, and many people retire in their seventies and eighties.

"Hello, Mr. Zhang Zhongmou!"

In the hotel box, Li Zetian smiled and took the initiative to stretch out his hand to say hello.

"Hello, Mr. · Li!”

After greetings, the two sat down, Li Zetian motioned to Dongfang Yuqin with his eyes to order the hotel to serve food, then looked at Zhang Zhongmou, and asked knowingly: "Is Mr. Zhang still working at Texas Instruments?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Zhongmou immediately guessed Li Zetian's intention to dig him. Before coming, Zhang Zhongmou also thought about a lot of reasons why Li Zetian asked him to meet, and poaching was the most likely.

At this time, Zhang Zhongmou thought for a while, since the other party asked him to meet, he must have already investigated his own information clearly, so there was no need to cover it up, so he replied: "Although I am in an important position, you know, the company is not what I say." I have been vocal about increasing investment in semiconductors on various occasions inside and outside the company, but I have not been taken seriously by the company. ”

"Do you want to go to a brand new platform, such as Intel?"

“Mr· Li: Are you trying to dig me up?"

"Yes!" Li Zetian nodded with a smile and said, "If you can come, the company will soon set up a new department, in my opinion, you are the best person to be the head of this department!"

After a pause, Li Zetian said frankly and unfairly: "I sincerely invite you to join Intel this time, I think you will be very interested after listening to this new department! Intel is planning to create a new business model - wafer foundry!"

"All IC is to set up their own factories to do, but in my opinion, the future direction should be IC design and IC manufacturing separated, IC brand and IC design and IC manufacturing separated, for example, we now look at personal computers, PC brand, PC design and PC manufacturing have begun to separate, PC manufacturing is OEM production through OEM, PC design is ODM original design manufacturer, PC brand is OEM by computer brand, slightly changed, and then sold by themselves! If you do this, it will be beneficial to OEM, ODM, and brand owners!

OEM foundry can be scaled up and manufacturing costs can be reduced.

ODM design is only responsible for the design and development of products, after the product is fancied, DM does not have a factory, no sales channels, low pressure, but can share a piece of the pie, concentrate on technology development, such as the current ARM company.

Brands can reduce their own R&D time, launch products quickly, and seize the market. ”

After Li Zetian finished speaking, Zhang Zhongmou's expression looked very surprised.

“Mr· Li, your words completely explain the future development direction of enterprises, not only the IC and PC industries, but also everywhere!" he couldn't help but say.

Li Zetian smiled, but just said the more mature business model in the future in advance. Zhang Zhongmou is also very smart, and he can understand it at all. Indeed, in the future, almost all industries will be OEM, ODM, and brand owners will be separated. Of course, powerful enterprises are naturally all-round, such as South Korea's Samsung Electronics, OEM, ODM and brand owners, it does!

"So...... I wonder if Mr. Zhang would like to come to Intel?" Li Zetian smiled.

Zhang Zhongmou's work at Texas Instruments was not smooth, and Li Zetian told him so much from the bottom of his heart, so he was naturally very moved. Moreover, Li Zetian has been supporting the Chinese, improving the status of the Chinese, and has also invested in charity and helped many people, which makes Zhang Zhongmou very admired, if he works for him, he will naturally be willing!

At that moment, Zhang Zhongmou no longer hesitated, nodded and replied: "Mr· Li, since you have been kindly invited, then I have decided to join Intel!!"

When Li Zetian heard this, he was overjoyed, stretched out his hand and said, "On behalf of Intel, I welcome you to join!"

The two shake hands!

At this moment, TSMC is over.

There was a knock on the door of the hotel box, and the waiter began to serve the food.

Li Zetian has a great appetite, and this meal is very comfortable.

After leaving the hotel, Zhang Zhongmou said: "Mr· Li, when I go back, I will go through the resignation procedures immediately, and I will be able to find a job in about two weeks!"

"Well, okay!"

Li Zetian saw him off, and then took out his Motorola mobile phone and made a phone call to Andy Grove, CEO of Intel, informing him that he had poached Zhang Zhongmou, the No. 3 big man of Texas Instruments, to Intel, and would be in charge of Intel's "wafer foundry" factory in the future.

"Let's go, go home!"

After Li Zetian hung up the phone, he said to Dongfang Yuqin happily.

The silver Rollslass sedan quickly disappeared into the Beverly Hills road like a bolt of lightning......

Two weeks passed quickly, and Zhang Zhongmou's resignation caused a great shock to Texas Instruments. However, for the company's main leadership, I can't wait for him to go. Because of the different ideas, I feel that he is in the way.

But soon, as soon as the disappearance of Zhang Zhongmou as the vice president of Intel came out, it immediately attracted the attention of the media.

Texas Instruments was also shocked.

Obviously, this was a premeditated resignation! Otherwise, how could you find a home so quickly?

Not long after, the grapevine came out from Intel, saying that Zhang Zhongmou is a rare talent, and the world's richest man Chronos· Li did not hesitate to personally poach him to Intel, and ridiculed Texas Instruments for not being able to hire people, resulting in a brain drain.

For gossip or chasing after the wind, the media likes to add fuel and vinegar and disparage Texas Instruments.

"The resignation of the senior management of Texas Instruments, the panic within the company, and the decline of Texas Instruments is an indisputable fact......"

As a result, Texas Instruments' stock price plummeted.

Let's say that Zhang Zhongmou was officially inaugurated, and after learning about the company's situation, his face was full of shock, "Applied Materials actually developed a device like Precision5000, no wonder Intel wants to build a wafer foundry factory!!"

Andy Grove laughs, "When I first heard about the Precision5000, I was just as shocked as you. I heard that it was Mr. Li first put forward the idea of a single chip integration process technology, and then Wang Ningguo led the team to develop it to realize Mr· Li envisions!"

Hearing this, Zhang Zhongmou was shocked again, and couldn't help but say: "Mr· Li is truly the most talented person I've ever met!!"

Andy Grove nodded and said very approvingly, "Well, that's true! Zhang, this time I went to Hong Kong, the task is very important, and you will be fully responsible for the Intel wafer foundry factory!!"

"Don't worry, I'll work hard! Li has a good eye, I don't dare to lose face for him!"

After saying that, both of them laughed. [.]
