In a short period of time, many things have happened to SMIC, but most of them are unknown to outsiders, and except for a few people, most of them still don't know Zhou Shi's true thoughts. For example, Xie Songfei of Chartered Semiconductor really thought that he was going to acquire SMIC, or go public through a backdoor listing.

Although the Modu government is biased towards TSMC, at this time, the mainland government actually does not have a clear understanding of the important role of the chip industry. In the previous life, in the legal dispute between SMIC and TSMC, there was no help, not to mention that SMIC was facing bankruptcy, and there was no help from the government, only Datang Telecom took advantage of the fire to rob. After Zhou Shi joined SMIC in this life, he originally thought that there would be a lot of government subsidies and tax incentives, but he didn't expect it to be whimsical. In most cases, you are still on your own.

The terms of the contract for the Four Elephants Fund to lend SMIC one billion dollars were harsh, but SMIC still signed it, and there was no hope that it would be helpless about the current predicament. You must know that the semiconductor industry could have lost money for several years in a row, and then encountered a big market, and all the funds lost a few years ago could be earned back in a year, and there could be a lot more.

Domestic support for the semiconductor industry will have to wait for a few years, a few years later, domestic policy changes, and even directly hundreds of billions of capital investment, before the semiconductor industry has developed by leaps and bounds. At this time, if Zhou Shi supports the development of two semiconductor companies at the same time, it is really not a wise choice. So he silently drove this complex plan. In fact, it can't be said to be very complicated, that is, after promoting the development of this matter, he can accept whatever the outcome.

Sixiang Fund forced SMIC to force debts in order to control it, and one of the possible results of him was bankruptcy and was taken down by Zhou Shi through debt restructuring. Second, someone came forward to repay the debt, and it doesn't matter, Zhou Shi implemented part of the debt-to-equity swap, and he is also the largest shareholder. Third, it will not go bankrupt and merge with SMIC. Fourth, if they do not go bankrupt and TSMC enters the game, at this time, whether they invest in SMIC or not, they will increase investment in the mainland, and SMIC's development obstacles can be said to be easily removed.

There are pros and cons to TSMC's joining, the most advanced technology will definitely not be given to SMIC, but they will not be indifferent to SMIC's development. After all, it is up to SMIC to resist the attack of licensed semiconductors. Zhou Shi will not completely withdraw from SMIC, and while developing the company, he must also find ways to limit TSMC's energy.

"Mr. Zhou, the Modu Government has released a message, if we give in here, Lao Fengxiang can transfer it to us, but I think Lao Fengxiang's current stock price is too high. Hu Zuniu still does not recommend Zhou Shi to buy now, although Lao Fengxiang is in line with the concept of consumption upgrading, but the right time to enter also plays an important role in the final development.

"The high point is good, at least no one will say that we embezzle state-owned assets. "Zhou Shi, a while ago, in the matter of Datang Telecom, many people raised such questions, but the sudden rise of Zhan Trum broke these rumors. After all, Spreadtrum is the only company to offer proven, high-performance, low-power TD chips, and this advantage is still being consolidated. Because Spreadtrum has also acquired a number of startups and patents with TD technology in China.

"Some companies can't be bought with money, you should feel lucky!" Zhou Shi This is not unreasonable nonsense, it is rare to see a century-old brand with a high reputation and good development in China.

"Alright then, shall we delay the time?" Hu Zuniu

"There's no need, the nights are long and I have a lot of dreams. "Zhou Shi won't be so stupid, he doesn't know how things will change if he drags it on, maybe there will be a better result, but people have to learn to be content, and they will get too many benefits, and they will be hated by many people.

Although there is no specific news in the market, Chartered Semiconductor has already begun to choose other cities as partners. Huaxia's integrated circuit industry is mainly concentrated in the Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta and Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, and other Sichuan, Chongqing, Hunan, Hubei and Shaanxi are the second echelon. It is an indisputable fact that such a branch has something to do with talent advantages, and more to do with capital, and it is easier to raise funds in the three major bay areas of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and the local government is more enlightened. Why has the revitalization of the three eastern provinces been ineffective for more than ten years, and the unenlightened local government may be the biggest problem.

Modu chose the former between TSMC and Licensed Semiconductors, or rather preferred the former, but still hoped to keep the latter. But for an elite like Xie Songfei, without the strong support of the local government, there is no need for him to stay, now is not the future, there are still many places in China that need such big projects. The scale of billions of dollars is very huge, and the improvement of the local economy is very huge.

Several well-informed cities in China have rushed to the magic capital, wanting to invite the concession to the local area. This can be regarded as two extremes, there is no shortage of projects in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and it is dispensable for industries such as franchising, and other cities are different. However, if the conditions of the local government are similar to those provided by the magic capital Yanjing, then there is no doubt that they will choose to stay in the first-tier cities. The imbalance in domestic economic development is not only due to the difference between geographical regions and local economic levels, but also due to various soft power funds, policies, taxes, talents, natural environment, power supply, etc.

On this day, the leader surnamed Zheng from Xingcheng in Hunan Province came to the magic capital, but instead of going directly to Xie Songfei, he found Zhou Shi. Relatively speaking, it is still much easier to find Zhou Shi.

"It is not easy for our Hunan Province to develop, the economic development ranks low in the country, and there have been no well-known large projects, and the brain drain is serious...... "Zheng leader

"Leader Zheng, you said that this has nothing to do with me, it's not my responsibility" Zhou Shi

"The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, Xiao Zhou, your ability is the top in the country, you are from Hunan Province, no matter how much it is your hometown. "Leader Zheng

"Even so, I shouldn't bear unlimited responsibility, right? Shen Wansan, I also know a little bit about how Hu Xueyan died, besides, I have already done a lot, Guoke Group, Time Premium has invested a lot in Hunan Province!"

"Well, it's a lot, but the people of Hunan Province need more opportunities!"

"Don't the people in other places need the opportunity for development?" Leader Zheng, it's useless to say this, I'd better introduce you to talk to Xie Songfei directly!"

"I still hope you can think more about Hunan Province, we need the opportunity for development too much. ”

"I can only promise to do what I can, after all, the development of the company is not decided by one person, we have strict rules and regulations and audit standards. "Zhou Shi

"A project like the concession of semiconductors may not be a big deal for other cities, but for Hunan Province, this is the best opportunity for our economic and industrial transformation. "Leader Zheng

"Leader Zheng, you should know that such a large project requires a very large amount of funds, and it is difficult for us to replenish it in Hunan Province. "Zhou Shi

"These can be discussed, I believe that the sincerity of the government will not disappoint you!"

"Perhaps, but we don't dare to gamble our future. "Zhou Shi

"Hey!" Leader Zheng got up and left a little disappointed, and Zhou Shi was a little unbearable.

"Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen are the first choice, the Yangtze River Delta, the Pearl River Delta, and Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei are the second choice, I asked Xie Songfei to adjust the importance of Star City to the second choice city, if the conditions are similar, Star City will have a chance. ”

"Thank you, Hunan Province will do its best to fight for this opportunity. "Leader Zheng
