Chapter 285: "Saigon's Great Development"
As soon as Intel's wafer foundry model came out, semiconductor companies were shocked.
As soon as the press conference ended, countless people came to the door, almost breaking the threshold of Intel.
When TSMC was established in the previous life, the response was average, and it was even questioned. TSMC can't give too much preferential treatment to other semiconductor companies, it is slowly developed step by step, and Intel was originally an industry giant, and also used a lot of advanced machinery and equipment, which has too many advantages over TSMC in the previous life, and the chip is handed over to Intel to produce much cheaper than other semiconductor companies, which makes many semiconductor companies very excited.
Of course, these semiconductor companies will face a very embarrassing problem, and the fab they have invested in seems to be able to shut down.
With the increase in business volume, Intel will definitely increase the scale of the fab in the future, which undoubtedly gives Intel a chance to pick up the bargain.
Just imagine, anyway, the wafer factories of other companies are not in operation, so it is better to sell them to Intel at a low price.
Andy Grove naturally brought up the idea of buying their fab or buying their machinery and equipment, some of which can still be used, when talking about cooperation with other company representatives.
If Intel doesn't do this, there will eventually be other companies that do it, and then it will become another "TSMC".
In order to stifle competitors, Intel naturally does not give other companies this opportunity.
……
Intel's wafer foundry business is so hot, to Li Zetian's expectations, Li Zetian instructed Zhang Zhongmou to expand the scale of the wafer factory in Hong Kong again, forming a super-large-scale wafer foundry, and at the same time establishing a chip packaging and testing factory, so as to achieve one-step and one-stop service!
There is also an ant factory in Shenzhen, and the chips produced in Hong Kong can be quickly assembled into products when they are shipped to Shenzhen, reducing transportation costs and time.
Ant Factory is equivalent to Foxconn, and Intel wafer foundry is equivalent to TSMC. It is not difficult to imagine that Hong Kong and Shenzhen will become global production hubs for technology products in the future.
Li Zetian's contribution to China and his influence are by no means beyond the reach of ordinary businessmen.
At this moment, Hong Kong citizens are beginning to realize that Hong Kong's economy is not only real estate, finance, trade, transportation, and tourism, but now also high-tech and manufacturing.
In fact, when an influential company settles in one place, it often attracts other companies to settle in.
Intel, Microsoft, Apple, Oracle, Sun Microsystems, Mango, Gene Technology, Galaxy Network and other companies have all set up branches and Asian R&D centers in the Science Park.
The Hong Kong media can't help but refer to the area where the Science and Technology Park is located, that is, "Sai Kung, Hong Kong", as "Hong Kong's Silicon Valley"!
It's almost the end of March in a blink of an eye.
Li Zetian finally negotiated with the Hong Kong Telephone Company, and finally acquired the Hong Kong Telephone Company for $4.5 billion.
After the news came out, it caused a sensation in Hong Kong, but people knew that Li Zetian would definitely succeed in acquiring the Hong Kong Telephone Company, which was no suspense, after all, he was too rich.
After winning the Hong Kong Telephone Company, Li Zetian was very happy and full of ambition.
At this time, the Hong Kong government held a banquet and proposed the "Saigon Great Development" project, inviting him to participate!
Li Zetian was naturally invited to participate.
Sai Kung is known as the backyard of Hong Kong because most of the area is undeveloped and many places still retain beautiful natural scenery. Now, with high-tech industries taking root here, the development of Saigon is necessary.
The banquet was held on the top floor of the Peninsula Hotel, and Hong Kong's biggest names were basically there.
However, when Li Zetian pushed the door out, the entire banquet scene suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at him.
"It's Chronos· Li, he's actually here!!"
People were amazed.
After a few seconds, everyone immediately stepped forward to greet Li Zetian as if they were the most precious guests.
Li Zetian's wealth and influence made them unreachable, they seemed to be dwarfs, and they could only stand at the bottom of the mountain and look up at the giants!
“Chronos· Hello Li!"
“Chronos· Hello Li!"
“……”
Li Zetian kept a faint smile on his face, and bowed slightly at them, which was regarded as a greeting.
“Chronos· Li, you can come to the banquet, it really makes this place flourish! There will be a lot of land tenders for this Saigon development, and you must be bound to win!"
At this time, the charter king, who has more weight in Hong Kong, said to Li Zetian with a smile.
Li Zetian said with a smile: "King of charter boats, you are joking, Saigon is greatly developed, there are many opportunities, and everyone earns money together, do I look like the kind of person who likes to eat alone?"
"Hehe, of course not!" The old man of the charter boat king showed a smile on his face, saying so on his lips, but he wanted to say in his heart that you are a solitary eater after all......
At this time, Sun Hung Kai Properties' Kwok Bingxiang brothers, Henderson Land Lee Shau Kee, The Peninsula Hotel's Kadoorie family, Swire Group's Shi Huaiya, Shangri-La's Guo Henian, Cheung Kong Li Jiacheng and others also came over to greet Li Zetian.
These people are all well-known big names in Hong Kong, and if you stomp your feet, Hong Kong will be shaken.
Some young people who came with their elders couldn't help but be full of envy when they saw Li Zetian talking and laughing with these big people.
“Chronos· Li is not a few years older than me, but he is on an equal footing with the top families in Hong Kong, no, he should have a higher status, look at all these people revolving around him, when will I become like him, even if it is only half......"
After a while, lights appeared on the stage, and a pot-bellied official walked onto the stage.
"Hello everyone, welcome to this banquet, I think you should have received the news too. Yes, that's right, the Hong Kong government is ready for the development of Saigon. The banquet was just a press conference to inform everyone that the real tender would be in a month's time. However, I have information on the content of the tender here, so you can take it back and study it. ”
After speaking, the four beautiful models took the information and sent a copy to everyone present.
The official continued: "The Saigon development project is very large, and it is not a project that one company can bear, so I have gathered everyone today to allow you to communicate here and work together in the future." Okay, I'm not going to say more, enjoy this dinner!"
Li Zetian sat in the corner drinking red wine while looking at the content of the bidding, his face was quite surprised, "It is really a huge project, and it is very ambitious! If it continues to develop like this, Saigon, Hong Kong will prosper!!"
