Samsung's semiconductor business has entered the stage of "keeping up with the strategy of technology leaders", and this "leader" mainly refers to TSMC, which is no wonder Zhang Dong is so resentful of Samsung Electronics.

In fact, in Jiang Hui's view, the final result of the battle between Samsung and TSMC is obvious.

If TSMC is compared to a super battleship, then Samsung is an aircraft carrier fleet.

No matter how strong the battleship is, you are just fighting with one of your own warships, but Samsung has a whole industrial chain to support it, and there are various industries to support it.

For example, no matter how well TSMC does it, that is, to take more orders from foundries, it is nothing more than a question of whether the technical content of the foundry orders is higher or lower.

But Samsung is different, his chip can be used for Samsung mobile phones, Samsung computers, Samsung TVs, Samsung washing machines, and ......

In a sense, Samsung has achieved closed-loop control of the industrial chain, and its competitiveness is not at all something that a company outside can do alone.

In this regard, the Samsung Group and the Guanghui Group still have certain similarities, both are aircraft carrier combat methods, and they are interlocked when they move, and multiple means come together.

"Zhang Dong, whether you believe it or not, but I will never go to Samsung in my life, you can rest assured", hearing Zhang Dong seemed to be advice, and from the words that seemed to be threatening, Liang Mengsong immediately expressed his opinion.

"Can you tell us more about your next step?"

"It's nothing, even if I don't say it now, it won't be long before you know. I'm going to go to work in the mainland, design and produce chips from scratch, and follow the path of Intel and Samsung," Liang said.

"Isn't it a chip foundry?", Zhang Dong asked suspiciously.

As a person who goes out of TSMC, although it is also useful to go to companies such as Samsung and Intel, in fact, it may be more comfortable to go to a company that is positioned as a chip foundry like TSMC.

"No, it's a chip company, from design, production, packaging, testing and sales, all of which are done in-house."

Hearing Liang Mengsong say this, Zhang Dong was a little puzzled and said: "The capital needed to invest in such a company needs at least NT$100 billion, and I haven't heard of any company that is still engaged in this kind of large-scale investment recently."

The manufacturing process of a chip is very complex, and a production line involves more than 50 industries and 2,000-5,000 processes. Take a foundry like TSMC as an example, it is necessary to first purify the "sand" into silicon, then cut it into wafers, and then process wafers.

The wafer processing plant consists of two processes, the front process is divided into several modules - lithography, thin film, etching, cleaning, and injection, and the back process is mainly packaging - interconnection, wire bonding, and sealing. Among them, lithography is the link between manufacturing and design.

Many of these processes are carried out in independent factories, and the equipment used also needs to be manufactured in specialized equipment factories, and the materials used include hundreds of special gases, liquids, and targets, which require a specialized chemical industry.

In addition, the production of integrated circuits is carried out in ultra-clean rooms, so systems such as exhaust air and air purification are also required.

After so much sharing, the investment in the entire project is definitely a very scary figure, and the NT$100 billion that Zhang Dong said is already a very conservative figure.

"No, Dong Zhang, you must have heard of this company. Think about it, in the past, when we had any information to announce, we usually held a press conference or revealed it through a reporter we wanted to be familiar with, but now?"

"Now, there are still press conferences, wait~ You mean Twitter? We have a lot of information that is not so important that it is announced directly on the official account on Twitter. I haven't heard that Twitter is going to enter the chip industry, this is not something they can play at all", Zhang Dong quickly reflected what Liang Mengsong wanted to say, but there were some things, and he guessed the beginning correctly, not the ending.

"Zhang Dong, what you said is not wrong, although Twitter is an Internet company with a high valuation, it has not said that it will enter the chip field."

"And what exactly are you trying to say?"

"Twitter's parent company, Korn Ferry Group, is also the parent company of Korn Wong Mobile, the Gphone maker you are using now, and they are ready to enter the chip industry."

"Guanghui mobile phone? Guanghui Group? You mean the fastest rising Internet group in the mainland?"

"The rise speed of Korn Ferry Group is not only in the mainland, but also in the world."

"Guanghui Group has never done chip-related business before, why did it suddenly invest so much money into an unfamiliar field?", Zhang Dong's eyes also began to become confused.

"Born in sorrow and died in peace, the glorious mobile phone under the Radiance Group is now too hot, attracting more and more people's attention, and the glorious mobile phone is different from the general Celestial Empire enterprises, he is a high-tech industry, an export-oriented high-profit enterprise, and even Apple, which produces smartphones, can not do the glorious mobile phone in the United States. But it's such a world-selling smartphone, and all the core components are imported."

"Do you think that the Korn Ferry Group is worried that someone will use some means to card the supply of parts for the Korn Kwai mobile phone in the future?"

"Yes", Liang Mengsong replied affirmatively.

"It's so weird, just because I'm worried that I will be stuck in the future, and then I will invest in chips myself, and it's still this kind of chip that requires huge investment, does Guanghui Group really think that chips are so easy to produce?", Zhang Dong said speechlessly.

"I don't quite understand why Jiang Hui, the founder of Korn Ferry Group, has such worries, but it is difficult to say that his worries are not justified at all."

"Xiao Liang, are you sure you are going to such a strange company?

"Zhang Dong, I have made up my mind, and there is no room for me to play in TSMC, but it is Guanghui Group, which is completely a rookie in the chip field, a rookie with sufficient funds, I think that is the job I want, a job that can fully reflect my value", Liang Mengsong did not hide his whereabouts from Zhang Dong.

This kind of thing, you can't hide it if you want to, it's nothing more than a matter of how many people know.

"In that case, then I agree with your resignation. However, our TSMC door is open for you at any time, as long as you want to come back one day, you can rejoin the next day," Zhang said.

If Liang Mengsong goes to Samsung or UMC, Zhang Dong will still be very nervous and will use all kinds of means to deal with it.

But now that he knows that Liang Mengsong went to such a company, Zhang Dong has no idea to engage others.

In the field of chips, Guanghui Group is completely a rookie among rookies, and there is no way to do it!
