After the agreement with Deyi Company was signed, Li Xuan did not leave Dallas in a hurry, but stayed in the city for another three days, and the purpose of his stay was naturally tacit, but the ostensible reason was to play.

Since it was a tour, Deyi Company, as the host, naturally could not be rude, and specially arranged a Chinese employee to be a tour guide for Li Xuan. Li Xuan's tour guide, surnamed Gu, was born in Houston and is a typical ABC (AmericanbornChinese), which is what we often call a banana man. Although he is a Chinese, he is no different from native Americans, and he is far less fluent in Chinese than English.

Li Xuan followed this John Gu to visit many places, and the first stop was to go to the Kennedy Memorial. The most important political impact of the city of Dallas on the United States is the assassination of Kennedy, and the mystery of who instructed the shooting of Kennedy remains unsolved decades later.

The memorial is located on the sixth floor of a seven-story building with a dark red façade in the heart of the city, hence the Dallasians' habitual call it the "SixthfloorMuseum" from which the evil bullet was fired.

Li Xuan is not an American, and he is not interested in American history, so he just browses a group at random and comes out. After coming out of the memorial hall, under the guidance of the tour guide, he also ran to the road not far away. There is an "X" with a white line on the road, which is where President Kennedy was shot when he was shot.

At night. Li Xuan went to the home court of the Dallas Mavericks again and watched a Mavericks game without Nowitzki and without Cuban. All right. The Mavericks on the court, a newcomer to the NBA this year, were abused by the visiting Washington Bullets for more than 20 points.

The next day, Li Xuan drove more than 100 kilometers to a farm in the suburbs to experience the life of a Texas cowboy for half a day, riding horses, grazing cattle, cutting grass, and having a good time in an American farmhouse.

Finally on the third day, Li Xuan returned to Zhang Zhongmou's home, and after three days of consideration, it was time for the other party to give him a clear answer.

"Li Dong. What kind of position are you going to arrange for me in Dongfang Electronics?" Zhang Zhongmou asked bluntly.

Li Xuan couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard the change in his name, and said: "Dongfang Electronics is actually just a general name, since I started my business last year, the whole company has been expanding rapidly. In order to keep up with the pace of development, the company's internal structure has also undergone several adjustments.

After the latest split, Dongfang Electronics has actually become a holding company, wholly owning Oriental Game Company, Oriental Software Company, British Aikang Computer Company, and American Computer Park Sales Company. Five entity subsidiaries.

In addition, there is an Oriental Technology Co., Ltd., which has four R&D centers in Taipei, Hong Kong, Silicon Valley in the United States and Cambridge in the United Kingdom, as well as the Oriental Real Yàn Room co-located with three universities in Hong Kong.

Most of the semiconductor research projects that are being carried out are in charge of several R&D centers under the jurisdiction of Dongfang Technology and Dongfang Shiyàn Office. From an ownership point of view, it does not actually have any relationship with Dongfang Electronics.

I have set up a new subsidiary, Dongfang Semiconductor, under the name of Dongfang Electronics, which will be fully responsible for the chip production business of all Dongfang enterprises, and I hope that you will be at the helm of this new company. ”

This position is only low or low compared to Zhang Zhongmou's current status in Texas Instruments. At least he's now the third-in-command within Deyi. Tens of thousands of employees directly under the control of the multinational company. And now Dongfang Electronics has only two or three thousand people, and he is only the president of a subordinate branch.

"How much power can you give me?" Zhang Zhongmou asked as he stared at Li Xuan's eyes with burning eyes.

Li Xuan was also not afraid to look at him. Eye contact is the most sincere way to communicate, and he smiled and gently spit out a few words: "Arbitrary!"

Zhang Zhongmou is a strict and serious worker. People who are strict with their subordinates are called "tyrants" in TSMC in later generations. But this rigor is a high demand for product quality and production efficiency, and TSMC under his leadership is one of the most profitable companies in Taiwan. And his character is strong and persevering, for such a general, Li Xuan is willing to let him go.

"The fab that has just been acquired from Deyi will be assigned to Dongfang Semiconductor. We were also in talks with General Electric to acquire one of their fabs in Northern California. We are also in talks with RCA to acquire a chip packaging and testing facility in southwest San Francisco!

In addition, I will invest $5 million in the technical upgrading of these three plants. In the next two years, I will invest no less than $30 million in cash to support the company's expansion of the new fab!"

Li Xuan made his own conditions and continued: "If you resign from Deyi Company, Dongfang Semiconductor Company is willing to provide a contract with an annual salary of 2 million US dollars, and at the same time pay you a one-time payment of 3 million US dollars to make up for your loss of options and dividends in Deyi Company in the next three years!"

Of course, if you want, you can also use this money as an investment and convert it into shares in Oriental Semiconductor!"

If you want the horses to run fast, you naturally have to feed the horses! Li Xuan's treatment will not be lower than Zhang Zhongmou's income in Deyi, and it will be much higher than that of other executives of Dongfang Electronics.

The semiconductor industry is a very special industry, and the technology is developing rapidly, and a slight nap may create a generation gap with competitors. A few years ago, investing in a wafer fab was a few million dollars, now it needs more than 10 million, in another four or five years, it will need tens of millions, and in the future, it will be hundreds of millions, or even billions of dollars.

In the future, countries such as Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and Singapore, which will be able to occupy a place in the semiconductor industry, are all following the same path. That is, the state will invest a large amount of money in the early stage to introduce advanced equipment and technology from the United States as a whole. After achieving a certain amount of technology accumulation, it is transferred to private capital.

For this. In the early seventies, the Japanese government spent $130 million to establish a semiconductor research center. Taiwan's Industrial Technology Research Institute spent tens of millions of dollars. In 1976, a demonstration wafer factory was built with the introduction of a complete set of technology and equipment from the American company RCA.

Li Xuan naturally could not get this kind of support from the British government in Hong Kong, so he could only fight his way out by himself. Hong Kong also has no talent pool in semiconductors, so Li Xuan did not consider placing the headquarters of Oriental Semiconductor in Hong Kong, and the first choice is naturally Silicon Valley in the United States, which is rich in talents.

However, investing in the construction of wafer factories with advanced technology and complex processes is by no means profitable with money and equipment. For factories using the same process, the difference between the yield rate can be very large, some factories can make a profit, and some factories have really become "semi-inverted".

Li Xuan studied embedded system design in his previous life. In terms of designing chips, you can still open a gold finger, but chip production is completely blind. Zhang Zhongmou, on the other hand, is a master in this area, personally in charge of all the semiconductor business of Deyi, a multinational IT giant.

"Arbitrarily exercising power", when Zhang Zhongmou heard Li Xuan spit out these words, he finally felt excited, but he held back his mood and listened to Li Xuan's words. Li Xuan was willing to let him use the compensation given by Dongfang Semiconductor to buy shares, which made him even more satisfied.

According to his estimates, Dongfang Semiconductor purchased two wafer fabs and a chip test and assembly plant. The total investment will not exceed $20 million, plus $5 million in cash, the total assets will be around $25 million, if he invests $3 million. It can account for at least 10% of the shares.

When the company was first established, it was undoubtedly the cheapest to buy shares, as long as Dongfang Electronics could achieve profitability, and then wanted to raise shares. The valuation of the factory will increase exponentially. Li Xuan undoubtedly showed his greatest sincerity to him.

Zhang Zhongmou pursed his lips slightly, and a smile finally appeared on Yan Sù's face: "Li Dong." I choose to join Dongfang Electronics, and I hope that the future watch xiàn will not disappoint you!"

The hands of the two men finally shook together. There were no flowers, no applause, and the dust settled in the meeting of two pairs of confident eyes.

Since he chose to join, Zhang Zhongmou immediately began to introduce his vision for the next development of Dongfang Semiconductor to Li Xuan. First of all, it is necessary to carry out technological reform and implement flexible production capacity of factories.

Like Texas Instruments' wafer fabs, most of them only produce a single variety or even a single model of chips. However, if Dongfang Semiconductor wants to take the route of wafer foundry, only customers will be picky about it in the early stage, not it will be picky about customers. Even if it undertakes orders from within the Oriental system, there are more than a dozen types of storage and control chips on arcades, handhelds, and computers.

In fact, what Li Xuan didn't say was that after the personal computer industry began to explode, the production capacity of Dongfang Semiconductor in the early stage would be enough to meet the internal orders of the Dongfang Department.

As for whether the wafer foundry model can really be realized and external orders can be undertaken, it depends on Zhang Zhongmou's personal ability. If he wants to achieve this step, the development speed of Dongfang Semiconductor in his hands must at least surpass that of other Dongfang companies.

When Li Xuan left Dallas, Zhang Zhongmou officially submitted his resignation to Deyi Company. The board of directors of Deyi Company made a symbolic retention, and finally agreed after Zhang Zhongmou signed a series of resignation agreements to ensure that he would not betray the interests of Deyi.

There are also seven or eight middle-level employees who resigned with Zhang Zhongmou, which is the advantage of getting Zhang Zhongmou, he can set up a complete management and operation team in minutes. Li Xuan said that he would give the other party the right to exercise arbitrarily, and he would do what he said and would not interfere with the internal personnel arrangements of Dongfang Semiconductor at all.

Zhang Rujing, in the management list that Zhang Zhongmou listed to Li Xuan in advance, he unexpectedly found an acquaintance. Zhang Zhongmou saw Li Xuan's gaze lingering on this name for a moment, and specially explained, saying that this is a young man with great potential, and he has been in Deyi Company for three years.

In later generations, the two sides had a complete falling out, and the grievances and hatreds between the two sides even involved the layout of the semiconductor industry on both sides of the strait, and now the two are still superiors and subordinates who appreciate each other. Li Xuan felt that there was a group of grass and mud horses running over his head!(The novel "Rebirth Electronic Empire" will have more fresh content on the official WeChat platform, and there will also be a 100% lottery gift for everyone!Open WeChat now, click on the "+" sign in the upper right corner "Add Friends", search for the official account "qdread" and follow, hurry up!)
