The next day, Li Xuan was received by Sun Yunxuan, premier of the Executive Yuan of the Nationalist Government. This is Dean Sun's name, Li Xuan has heard many people talk about it even in his previous life.

The reason why Taiwanese people remember him is because most of Taiwan's later heavy industry foundation came from the "Ten Major Construction Plans" implemented by Sun Yunxuan when he was Minister of Economic Affairs in the 70s. It can be said that the industrial transformation of the whole Taiwan was promoted by him.

And Li Xuan knows Sun Yunxuan because he single-handedly laid the foundation of Taiwan's semiconductor industry and plays a pivotal role in the world. In the mid-70s, it was he who defied public opinion in the face of opposition and learned from South Korea to establish a semi-official scientific research institute, the Industrial Technology Research Institute, in Taiwan.

ITRI can be said to be the Whampoa Military Academy of Taiwan's semiconductor industry, which has incubated countless technical and entrepreneurial talents. Relying on the rise of the semiconductor industry, Taiwan also occupies an important position in the future computer industry.

Zhang Zhongmou, the current president of Dongfang Semiconductor Company, accepted Sun Yunxuan's invitation in another time and space, returned to Taiwan from the United States to serve as the president of the Industrial Technology Research Institute, and later gathered a group of technicians to found TSMC, which changed the pattern of the entire semiconductor industry with a new foundry model.

"Mr. Li, welcome you and your Dongfang Electronics Group to invest in Taiwan, and we will provide the best policies for foreign enterprises!" Sun Yunxuan saw Li Xuan enter the door, walked forward quickly, shook hands with him warmly and said.

"Dean Sun, Taiwan has a strong talent base, good industrial planning, the first wafer factory built by Dongfang Semiconductor Company in Asia, the reason why it chose to settle in Hsinchu Science and Technology Park. We are well thought out!" Li Xuan said with a smile, and pointed to Zhang Zhongmou beside him. "This is Mr. Zhang Zhongmou, President of Dongfang Semiconductor Company!"

"I have also been friends with Mr. Zhang for a long time, and I asked Mr. Pan Wenyuan, who returned to Taiwan for exchanges. He once mentioned Mr. Zhang Zhongmou, the light of the Chinese in the U.S. semiconductor industry, like me!" Sun Yunxuan shook hands with Zhang Zhongmou with a smile and said.

Pan Wenyuan, whom Sun Yunxuan said, was a senior R&D director of RCA in the United States earlier. It was under his matchmaking that RCA sold a full set of semiconductor production technology to ITRI, which became the beginning of the development of Taiwan's semiconductor industry. Pan Wenyuan was later known as the father of Taiwan's semiconductors.

Sun Yunxuan is a typical technocrat with a sharp mind and a witty conversation. Li Xuan and he had a heated discussion on the future of Taiwan's semiconductor industry and electronics industry. Compared with the mainland, Taiwan already has a good foundation. More importantly, as the younger brother of the United States, Taiwan's technology exports will not be subject to too many restrictions.

These undoubtedly create excellent conditions for the next vigorous development of Taiwan's semiconductor industry. After the eighties, with the integration of the global economy. Manufacturing began to move rapidly to Asia, especially East Asia. There are hard-working industrial workers, smart technical developers, lower wages than in Europe and the United States, and fewer strikes.

It is precisely because of this great readjustment of the global division of labor that Taiwan has seized the opportunity of this major readjustment of the global division of labor and rapidly upgraded from a labor-intensive industry in the sixties and seventies to a technology-intensive industry. Li Xuan, with an aura of rebirth, could naturally foresee this change in advance. Now that the upgrading and transformation of Taiwan's industry has just begun, if Li Xuan can intervene as soon as possible. to lay a solid foundation.

In Li Xuan's blueprint, the United States is one of the most important external markets and R&D centers of the Eastern Group, because it has the world's largest consumer market and the most advanced technology. Asia is positioned by Li Xuan as a production base and another R&D center.

Among them, Japan and South Korea are for Li Xuan. It's very difficult to get enough influence to get involved, and it can only be used as a supplement. His real foothold is still based on the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, where he has a natural affinity for the same kind and culture.

Perhaps the two sides of the strait and the three places have complicated political entanglements. It will cause him some trouble. But thinking about it the other way around, it is precisely this intricate political entanglement. It gave him plenty of room to maneuver.

Since the eighties, both mainland and Taiwan. The bitter confrontation in the past is now tending to ease the dialogue, and economic exchanges are beginning to increase. Even when the Taiwan-Strait crisis was at its most intense in the 90s, economic and trade exchanges between the mainland and Taiwan continued unabated.

It is precisely because he knows this general trend that Li Xuan is confident enough to deploy in Hong Kong, Taiwan and the mainland at the same time. Although the mainland is an important part of Li Xuan's plan, it has many inherent deficiencies due to the political system.

For example, the United States has relatively strict restrictions on the mainland's semiconductor industry, and it was not until the late 90s that the first wafer factory for the production of digital chips was established in China in a joint venture with Japan's NEC. Whether it is Huahong NEC or SMIC, which is a few years later than it, the core technology has always been controlled by the foreign management team for a long time.

And even China's latest fabs are generally two to three generations behind foreign factories in terms of technology, and they do not have the ability to manufacture cutting-edge semiconductor production equipment themselves. As a result, we walked into the quagmire of the scale trap, trying to figure out the scale advantage to reduce costs, but finally entered a vicious circle of more losses and more investments, and more losses and losses.

Li Xuan has a pure heart to make a contribution to the development of the mainland, but the premise is not to harm his own interests. He did not dare to suppress the treasure capital in the interior, otherwise the turmoil in the late 80s might deal a fatal blow to the entire Eastern Bloc.

The current Taiwan Executive Yuan is not the Executive Yuan after the constitutional amendment in the late 90s, and the Executive Yuan is the second most powerful person after the president. By the 21 st century, Taiwan's premier had actually become the president's scapegoat, and his only function was to resign in place of the president when there was a serious mistake.

However, Sun Yunxuan's power as the premier is still very great, especially as early as the 70s, when Jiang Jingguo was the premier, he was fully trusted and appreciated by Xiao Jiang because of his outstanding ability in charge of the Ministry of Economy.

Sun Yunxuan said that he would personally attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the Hsinchu factory of Oriental Semiconductor the day after tomorrow. With the support of him, the No. 2 person in Taiwan's political arena, the development of Dongfang Semiconductor Company in Taiwan can be said to be unimpeded.

After Li Xuan finished his meeting with Sun Yunxuan, he was informed that President Chiang, the real ruler of Taiwan, wanted to meet him. So Li Xuan was picked up from his residence by a special car. If you ask the people of Taipei, where does President Chiang Jr. live? Eight out of 10 people might say Shilin Residence, but in fact it was the residence of Chiang Sr. after he came to Taiwan.

The other two people may tell you the correct answer, the Nanami Residence. But if you ask where Nanami is in Taipei, few people can tell. President Chiang's residence was originally the residence of the senior generals of the U.S. Affairs Advisory Group in Taipei, and later after Chiang Jr. served as the premier, the original residence was too small to be easy to work, so Chiang Lao asked him to move here.

It turned out to be a military restricted area, and there was no specific name. Because the Americans thought that "seven" was a lucky number, and there was a proximity to the Navy-Headquarters, Xiao Chiang moved in and simply named his new residence "Seven Seas" Villa.

The location of the Nanami Mansion is next to the Martyrs' Shrine near the Maruyama Hotel. Both the Yuanshan Hotel and the Martyrs' Shrine are famous landmarks in Taipei, but the nearby Seven Seas Mansion is little known to outsiders.

The car drove up to a sentry gate, and after a careful inspection by the security personnel, it was cleared by the guards. The driver drove another seven or eight hundred meters to a small road in the sentry post, surrounded by gray walls and towering trees. Finally, the car stopped outside a large white iron gate.

When Li Xuan got out of the car, the iron door had been opened, revealing a small villa inside. A middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a cyan suit walked towards Li Xuan. The other party first introduced himself with a smile, his name is Wang Jiahua, and he is the confidential secretary of President Xiao Jiang.

Approaching the villa, the living room inside is not big, it is estimated to be less than 20 square meters, and the simple decoration reveals a trace of elegance, which is similar to the living room of an ordinary well-off home.

Jiang Jingguo was reading Wen Jiàn on the cyan sofa, he raised his head when he heard the movement, and smiled at Li Xuan. Xiao Jiang was about to stand up and shake hands with Li Xuan, but Li Xuan immediately took the initiative to walk forward quickly. Wang Jiahua said just now before entering the door that President Jiang's legs and feet are not very good. Li Xuan glanced at the other party and found that Jiang Jingguo was a little fat, or it should be said that it was more appropriate to say that he was a little puffy, and he estimated that he was suffering from Yan zhòng's diabetes. Because of this symptom, it is very similar to the father of a good friend in Li Xuan's previous life.

"Mr. Li Xuan, welcome to Taiwan!" Jiang Jingguo, like his father Jiang Guangtou, has the same native accent as his sideburns, and his words reveal a thick Fenghua accent.

When Li Xuan met Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Thatcher and other powerful political figures, he had a sense of seeing history. But this feeling was particularly obvious when I met Deng Lao before, and this time, I experienced Xiao Jiang in the Second Chiang Dynasty, and I once again had a deep feeling.

Jiang Jingguo smiled kindly and was very talkative. Li Xuan chatted with him about his entrepreneurial history, and the atmosphere of the conversation between the two became more and more relaxed.

"President Chiang, this time my wife came to Taipei to participate in the 19th Hong Kong Golden Horse Awards. Last year, she ran Asia Pictures, which cooperated with Taiwan's China Film Company, to produce a film to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the outbreak of the Xinhai Revolution, called "Xinhai Double Ten"! This film was nominated for eight nominations for this year's Golden Horse Awards!" Li Xuan said with a smile.

"Hong Kong's film industry is very developed, and half of our Taiwan is occupied by you Hong Kong people!" Jiang Jingguo said with a smile. (To be continued......)
