Chapter 619: Business Dinner
After completing the business docking with UMC, Chongguang set up a banquet at the Chang'an Club, and invited the leaders of the Ministry of Electronics Industry to attend to attract UMC from both political and business aspects, in other words, to increase the intimacy of the other party.
The so-called dinner is not a meal, but a bureau, and the toast is not a person, but an identity.
From UMC's point of view, Chongguang invited ministerial-level leaders in charge of the field, indicating that the strength of the other party is not limited to the technical level, which makes Hong Jiacong, vice president of UMC, feel particularly excited, and for UMC to expand its business in the mainland, this kind of contact opportunity is not to be desired.
Before Minister Hu arrived, everyone sat and chatted in the waiting area of the private room, Hong Jiacong asked Hu Yiting about the projection plan for the second half of the year, Sun Shiwei picked up the magazine next to the sofa and flipped through it, and saw that it was full of advertisements, private jets, luxury sports cars, limited edition watches, limited edition handbags, Rolls-Royce Phantom, Ferrari Porsche Lamborghini's latest ......
Sun Shiwei blurted out: "There are so many rich people in the mainland now, there is such a magazine." β
Everyone was attracted by this topic, and Kang Yaoxiang also took a copy and flipped through it, "I haven't seen this magazine sold in the market." β
The manager of the private room who waited for the tea to pour it laughed and said that the magazine could not be subscribed, and only club members could give it away.
Sun Shiwei said with a smile: "We are the blessing of Mr. Tuohu, and we are here to open our eyes." β
Hu Yiting said with a smile: "I don't come here often, and it's only VIPs like you who can make me think of here, come and have a meal together, haha, if Chief Engineer Sun likes it, just come to the mainland to work, I will definitely give you a membership here." β
Sun Shiwei didn't expect Hu Yiting to value him so much, and smiled at Hu Yiting with relief.
Hong Jiacong said: "Mr. Hu, you can't poach people, and Shiwei is our UMC's technical leader, and his future is immeasurable." β
The twofold meaning of these words was understood by everyone as soon as they heard it.
Sun Shiwei hurriedly brushed it off and said with a smile: "Mr. Hu said that he was joking, Chongguang's main business is still IC design." β
Hu Yiting also nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, I want to, but there is no battlefield for Chief Engineer Sun to play, haha, in the future, the 0.25 and 0.18 micron processes, the main battlefield is still Taiwan, but South Korea is also rising very quickly."
Kang Yaoxiang took over the conversation and changed the topic again: "The things in this magazine are ridiculously expensive, I think I can buy a watch or a bag for my wife at most." β
Hong Jiacong also feels that Chongguang is not qualified to dig people like Sun Shiwei, after all, the profession is not right, between Chongguang and the next generation of linewidth lithography machine, but there is a Wassenaar agreement, which is larger than the Taiwan Strait, Sun Shiwei used to have no guns and no guns How to engage in process research and development, the technology in hand will be eliminated after a few years, which is equivalent to slowly self-depreciation.
So Hong Jiacong smiled, felt that this was the case, let go of the poaching, and began to study the famous watches in the magazine.
"I'm very interested in this Cartier gold watch, Cartier rarely makes pure gold cases, this is a limited edition, the distribution in each region of the world is limited, and it is difficult to buy it in Taiwan. β
"Really?
Hong Jiacong nodded heavily: "But I'm not a member, I don't know if I can buy it." β
"It's not easy. Hu Yiting smiled and asked the manager of the private room: "How much is this watch, you can help me ask." β
After the manager bowed down and agreed, he went out to call and came back, bowed down again and said, "240,000 yuan." β
Hu Yiting looked at Hong Jiacong.
Hong Jiacong calculated, nodded and said: "It's not expensive, about 30,000 US dollars, more than 900,000 New Taiwan dollars, well, Mr. Hu, you can help me order one." β
"Of course. Hu Yiting instructed the manager: "You ask the agent to send two over, and we will pick one." β
The manager was overjoyed when he heard this, took the order and left in a hurry, if these luxury goods represented by the club can be sold from the manager, he will naturally have a commission.
Hong Jiacong waited with an itch, rubbed his hands and said: "I really didn't expect to be able to buy this watch in the mainland, haha, I will transfer the money to Mr. Hu tomorrow, how much is Mr. Hu's Mastercard number." β
Hu Yiting left his bank card number for him, and said with a smile: "Actually, I should send this watch to Mr. Hong, but I'm afraid that others will say that I am a commercial bribe, haha." β
Hong Jiacong also smiled: "I don't dare to accept it if you send it, haha, I took it with Mr. Hu's heart." β
Kang Yaoxiang said: "It turns out that Mr. Hong collects watches, and now that everyone has a mobile phone, the watch is a bit cumbersome. β
Sun Shiwei nodded: "After I got a mobile phone, I don't often wear a watch, but I still wear it when I come to the mainland this time." β
Hong Jiacong said with a smile: "I chose Shiwei's watch for him." Mobile phones are not available to everyone, and I don't think they can completely replace watches, because watches are not only timekeeping functions, but also decorative functions, which are like rings, earrings, necklaces and jewelry, so they will not be completely replaced, at least not in the upper class, but watch collection should be cautious, must receive famous watches, preferably limited editions, otherwise not only will not retain value, but may also depreciate. β
Hu Yiting shook his head and smiled: "Where do we understand this, let alone collecting watches, what should we do if they are broken? Is it still valuable? We won't repair it." β
"It's so easy to break. After that, Hong Jiacong laughed and asked everyone to take out the watch, and he gave everyone an estimate.
So the people took off their watches with great interest and showed him them.
"Rolex water ghost, yes, Mr. Kang is quite tasteful. β
"Radar ceramics are ultra-thin, this performance is too much, it is estimated that it will be difficult to maintain value in the future, and there are not many people who collect quartz watches, but they look very good. β
The watches of several people here in Chongguang are obviously not in Hong Jiacong's eyes, Hu Yiting estimated that his own one is the lowest evaluation, so he only smiled, took it back and put it on: "My wife gave it, I like it very much." The advantage of quartz watch is that it is accurate, in fact, it is still the most useful in school, and you always have to look at it several times during class, why don't you ring the class bell? β
Everyone laughed when they heard this, and Hong Jiacong was surprised: "It turns out that Mr. Hu is married, I thought you must be single when you are so young." β
"FiancΓ©e. Hu Yiting added.
"Are you in the northern capital? Hong Jiacong said with a smile: "Let's meet, in the future, you can live in my house to play in Taiwan, my wife likes to make friends." β
Kang Yaoxiang laughed: "Does Mr. Hong usually listen to songs?"
"Listen, Taiwan, I have a lot of CDs in my car. β
"Have you ever heard the song of the child?"
"Yes, yes, I admire her the most on your mainland. Hong Jiacong looked at Kang Yaoxiang, then looked at Hu Yiting's expression, and reacted: "It turns out ...... Could it be that Mr. Hu's fiancΓ©e is her?"
Hu Yiting said generously: "Yes, we are middle school classmates. β
"Wow, the world is so small!" Hong Jiacong clapped his hands and laughed: "Then I have to invite you to meet, forgive me, I don't usually watch entertainment news, it turns out that Mr. Hu's fiancΓ©e is a big singer, I really listen to her songs, I really like it." β
Hu Yiting was in a good mood when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Then I'll ask." After that, he took his mobile phone and called Tong Mu, and learned that although Tong Mu had already had dinner, he was willing to come over.
Knowing that Tong Mu was coming, everyone was very happy, Sun Shiwei said that he usually doesn't listen to popularity, and he will definitely buy a CD to support it when he goes back this time.
was chatting warmly, Minister Hu's side arrived, so everyone got up to greet him, Minister Hu only brought a secretary to accompany him, came quickly, and after everyone greeted each other, the banquet officially began.
Hu Yiting first saluted the three-person delegation led by Hong Jiacong, vice president of UMC, on behalf of Chongguang, with a glass of wine, and then toasted Minister Hu, and then everyone began to respect each other.
At this time, the manager of the private room brought the sales agent in and presented the table that Hu Yiting wanted.
Hong Jiacong praised this watch in front of everyone, and after checking that it was correct, Hu Yiting signed the order.
This table was circulated during the banquet, and Minister Hu also praised it twice.
Then Minister Hu began to talk about encouraging Taiwan businessmen to invest in the mainland, especially hoping that Taiwan's electronics industry would come to the mainland to invest more, saying that Guangdong Province, where the electronics industry in the south is relatively developed, is especially suitable for electronics enterprises to settle down, if UMC is willing to invest in wafer factories, there are so many downstream enterprises, then the sales must be no problem.
Hu Yiting saw that Hong Jiacong listened carefully, and sighed secretly, he didn't have much hope for himself, because he remembered that Taiwan UMC never came to the mainland to invest in his previous life. This is probably related to UMC's share capital structure, as a Taiwanese company listed in the United States, a large part of the initial investment came from the technology venture capital of the local government in Taiwan, many of UMC's major shareholders are Americans, and the board of directors and senior management also have many Americans or American agents, and they have a very strict control over technology.
In order to persuade such companies to invest in the mainland, unless there is a great advantage to be taken, they always feel that the apprentices of the church will starve their masters.
The technological blockade will do more good than bad for US high-tech companies, otherwise the US would not have had to engage in the Wassenaar Agreement to blockade China.
IC technology is the frontier of blockade, and the IC companies controlled by the Americans are the beneficiaries, and if they are a little clear-headed, they will not invest in China, unless China has made a technological breakthrough in this field.
Hu Yiting persuaded Cyrix to come to China to build a joint venture factory, but he paid half of the shares, and he could get half of the shares for nothing, which is similar to a pie in the sky, so Cyrix was willing to take the initiative to help solve the import restrictions of 0.35 micron process equipment.
Everyone was eating and chatting, Tong Mu arrived, Hu Yiting smiled and introduced a little, and let Tong Mu sit beside him.
Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
