Chapter 557: All Acquisitions
A young director was the first to speak: "The current situation seems that it is more appropriate to sell to Wang Fan. On www.biquge.info the one hand, it can ensure that customers such as NVIDIA, SPREADTRUM, LG, Freescale, and Avago are not poached. Although their order is not large, it is our last reliance. On the other hand, it can reduce our stress. After all, with the current number of orders, many of our fabs will be vacant, which is undoubtedly a burden, and it is better to replace it with funds and invest them in the places that are available. For example, the development of 10nm process!"
"No, you're compromise!" Another director strongly objected: "When did we TSMC compromise? How can we compromise? If we sell it to Wang Fan Wafer Factory today, will it be possible that one day, even TSMC can sell it to him?"
"Then you say, if we don't sell it to him, Wang Fan will poach customers such as NVIDIA, Spreadtrum, LG, Freescale, Avago, etc., what will we do?
"I ......"
……
In the face of endless arguments between the two sides, Zhang Zhongmou just looked at each other coldly.
The more special the time, the more you can see human nature and the quality of people.
But the old director next to him couldn't stand it anymore, and slapped the table suddenly, and the room of people who were arguing endlessly fell silent.
"Okay, listen to me. The old director spoke: "What you say makes sense, it's all for TSMC's sake." But this is a special time, and we must act exceptionally. ”
"There is an old saying in Huaxia that is good, willing, willing. There is a give-and-take. In the current situation, if we don't agree, maybe Intel will agree, and Samsung will agree. So looking back, Mortal Semiconductor took a shot at us, snatching away all customers such as NVIDIA, Spreadtrum, LG, Freescale, and Avago, which we can't afford. ”
Hearing this, many people couldn't help but nod their heads, even those who tried their best to resist remained silent.
Therefore, we can pick out some wafer factories that are not small in scale but have average returns, as well as wafer factories that are far away from our future layout, and sell them to mortal semiconductors. In exchange for considerable funds to tide over TSMC's current difficulties, as well as 10nm research and development!
There was another whisper, and then someone stood up: "What Elder Wu said is right, the eldest husband can bend and stretch." As long as we get through the current difficulties, realize 10nm R&D as soon as possible, and enter the 10nm era, we still have opportunities. When the time comes, get it all back!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
Wu Lao opened his mouth and said, "Okay, then it's decided." But this shame, TSMC's shame, we all have to remember!"
"Wait!" At this moment, Zhang Zhongmou suddenly spoke.
Wu Lao's face was suspicious, and he asked, "Could it be that Zhang Dong also thinks that my point of view is wrong?"
Zhang Zhongmou shook his head: "Wu Lao's expedient plan is good, but in the sale of the wafer factory, one must be added!"
"Add one, which one?" everyone looked at Zhang Zhongmou in confusion.
"That 12-inch wafer fab in the north of Taiwan Island!" Mr. Zhang said.
"What!" a room full of people was completely stunned.
You must know that the 12-inch wafer factory in the north of Taiwan Island is one of the best in the entire TSMC camp, and it is a cutting-edge existence in the world.
It can even be said that in addition to the 18-inch wafer fab under construction, there are few wafer fabs that exceed this one!
Such a cutting-edge wafer factory, even the Taiwan base is regarded as a treasure, how can it be sold!
But Wu Lao asked, "Dong Zhang, what are your plans?"
Zhang Zhongmou glanced around at everyone again, and saw that they were all high-level henchmen and directors closely related to interests, so he said meaningfully: "The intelligent production line of mortal semiconductors, as well as the new wafer model, we all need it!"
Hearing this, everyone suddenly realized, and then passed this incredible decision in an instant.
In the north of Taiwan Island, the largest 12-inch wafer factory was sold to Wang Fan!
…………
Soon, Zhang Zhongmou called Wang Fan, explained the results clearly, and sent a document with specific information on the fab for sale.
Wang Fan closed his eyes, lay on the boss's chair, and did not move the computer on the desk, but entered the technology derivative system.
Then, through the technology derivative system in his mind, he quickly checked the wafer factory that Zhang Zhongmou wanted to sell.
There are 4 in total, one in Songjiang, one in Taipei, one in the United States, and one in Europe.
The smallest in Songjiang, Shanghai, is an 8-inch wafer factory with a price of $1 billion.
Although it is small, the production capacity is only 60,000 pieces per month, it is still an 8-inch wafer, and more importantly, the process is 0.18 microns, that is, 180 nanometers.
Absolutely antique.
However, because it is in China, close to Binhai City, it is convenient for Wang Fan to use, so Wang Fan did not hesitate to set, 800 million US dollars, small meaning, buy it back and transform it!
The United States and Europe are all 12-inch large wafer factories, although the scale is good, but some are strong and middle-class.
Through the technology derivation system, Wang Fan quickly understood it clearly.
The location of these two fabs is not good, and there are some other problems.
For example, the one in the United States is a bit contradictory to the local government, and the main reason is the pollution problem!
It is important to know that the pollution of the fab is very serious, and despite the tight protective measures, it is generally not a big problem.
But the people around me are still uneasy.
Just like some people, they always think that the radiation generated by the communication base station will harm the health of the people around them.
The same is true for the American wafer factory.
Wang Fan shook his head helplessly, it seems that TSMC still has a hand.
But even so, he still took it, and as for the problem, the solution is.
You know, there is nothing that can't be solved by a barbecue, if there is, then come to a big health!
As long as the banknotes are used well, will the local government in the United States be honest and clean?
Once the local government takes it, then what's the problem?
And the last wafer factory in Taipei surprised Wang Fan.
This fab is large, high-quality, state-of-the-art, and has an important location.
It can be said that among all TSMC wafer fabs, they are absolutely first-class existence.
And Zhang Zhongmou was willing to sell it to him!
It's also really unexpected.
Although the fab is priced at $4 billion, it is definitely worth the money!
Even if it is 5 billion US dollars, Wang Fan will not hesitate to buy it.
You must know that it will take at least 2 or 3 years to build such a fab, even if it is three shifts and working day and night.
Wang Fan can't afford to wait.
Of course, as for whether Zhang Zhongmou has other considerations, Wang Fan doesn't care much, and will take down the entire wafer factory first.
