Chapter 405: If there is a kind, you guys will come!
Xu Teng is not a psychopath, of course, he will not go to Taipei to participate in the so-called Taipei IT Technology Exhibition, let alone an interview with Zhang Zhongmou, he went to Beijing in 2009, 2011, 2012 three times in person to persuade him, and finally tried to prevent the mainland from continuing to make concessions to Taiwan's semiconductor industry, so that Huateng Electronics Group has the opportunity to force Taiwan's semiconductor industry to the point of exhaustion. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Xu Teng's point of view is very direct, the blue camp is not only a waste concentration camp, but also a DU faction in another sense, coupled with the economic environment is difficult to improve in the next ten years, the probability of winning again after "Ma Niangniang" is extremely slim.
Therefore, the semiconductor industry must not continue to make profits, and only in this way can it be eradicated within two or three years after the situation changes greatly.
When Taiwan's advantageous industries are completely lost and fall into a trade deficit, and the economic fundamentals can no longer support the existing exchange rate, Taiwan's economy will be brought back to its original shape by aggressively shorting the new Taiwan dollar.
In the end, only when the hungry opponent cannot hold on, and when they are hungry, they cannot eat enough, and they can achieve "peaceful" reunification in the true sense of the word, otherwise they can only go to war.
Xu Teng's three trips to Beijing to lobby are still good, and each time he has gained, and in 2012, he defeated Guo Dong and others.
The real rise of the semiconductor industry in mainland China actually began in 2007, before that, compared with South Korea, Taiwan has always been about two generations of gap, to 2010, basically narrowed the average generation gap to half a generation, in 2012 to further maintain the same generation level in the field of panels, chip design, solid-state storage, packaging and testing.
In the field of panels, whether it is technology or production capacity, Taiwan's five tigers are not as good as Samsung, Huateng, LG any of the three giants, and the mainland itself still has Shenzhen Tianma and China Optoelectronics, two second-rate echelons that are not weaker than Taiwan's five tigers.
In the field of solid-state storage, there is basically no one who owns it, and Taiwanese capital has basically been wiped out, and it has not had time to develop at all.
In the field of chip design, the last giant of Taiwanese capital is MediaTek, in fact, it has never been really strong.
In the field of chip manufacturing, TSMC's advantage is indeed too strong, and TSMC is also the upstream level in the second-tier echelon.
In the field of chip packaging and testing, the world is basically three camps in a fierce game, Taiwan's ASE Group, Silicon Products and TSMC, Japan's and the United States' J-Devices and Aeckel, the mainland's Huateng Electronics, Changdian Technology, Taiwan's packaging and testing factories are more, accounting for about 30% of the global packaging and testing market share, the Japanese and American systems account for about 15%, and the mainland system accounts for 23%-25%.
For Xu Teng, as long as TSMC is killed at any cost, Taiwan's semiconductor industry will basically be wiped out.
As for Guo Dong's acquisition of Chimei, the holding of AUO, and the vain attempt to acquire Sharp to create the world's No. 1 panel giant, it is basically an idiot's dream, and sooner or later he will lose his eyes and can't open his eyes, because whether it is Samsung, LG, or Huateng Electronics, the three giants would rather starve others to death, but also resolutely hold on to the end and eliminate all other opponents.
Of course, the situation in front of him is really not good, but fortunately, Xu Teng has always been prepared.
Xu Teng can't be stupid enough to believe that TSMC will never fight back, and it will be a matter of time before he counterattacks, even a little later than Xu Teng expected.
In the face of TSMC's invitation to negotiate, Xu Teng did not go, nor did he have time to travel to Taiwan.
Shortly after TSMC's Chairman Zhang personally sent a letter to Xu Teng, a week apart, TSMC's CEO Liu Xuanzhe personally went to Ningzhou to start the second round of negotiations, in order to compete with Huateng Electronics and crush the momentum of Huateng Electronics' light-speed rise in the field of chip manufacturing, TSMC even gave up the inevitable field of packaging and testing, and re-formed an alliance with ASE with the strongest packaging and testing technology in Taiwan's semiconductor industry, and joined ASE to invest in the Ningzhou factory.
The reason why TSMC wants to do this is because the source of Huateng Electronics' packaging and testing technology is from Panasonic, Eckel and Xingke Jinpeng, and the main scientific research team is Taiwan, the United States, Japan and South Korea.
However, on the day that TSMC CEO Liu Xuanzhe arrived in Ningzhou, a shocking news suddenly came out of the global chip and smartphone market, which almost stunned everyone.
The top two global ARM chip designers and smartphone manufacturers, Apple and Huateng Electronics Group have reached an agreement to reduce costs through joint procurement of the next generation of 20nm second-generation 64-bit high-end chips of Huateng Electronics Group.
Dizzy.
Liu Xuanzhe was directly confused, although the semiconductor industry has always been clear that Huateng Electronics and Apple have a silent alliance relationship, cooperation to monopolize the smartphone market, but the alliance relationship is so iron, so that Apple is willing to use its own chip to save the emergency when Huateng Electronics' second-generation 64-bit chip is difficult to deliver, which is a bit too exaggerated!
What does it mean to reduce costs through joint procurement?
Isn't it that Apple and Huateng Electronics have combined orders, accounting for almost half of the world's high-end ARM architecture 64-bit chips, forcing TSMC to continue to cut prices?
Grass, there is no reason!
There is no doubt that Apple and Huateng Electronics will continue to combine orders and smash prices from Haihong Group and other suppliers.
Half of the orders in the global smartphone industry, as long as you don't lose money, you have to grab it desperately.
Liu Xuanzhe had just gotten off the plane, and when he heard the news, he didn't know if there was any need to continue the conversation in this Ningzhou factory, so he hurriedly called the headquarters for instructions.
At this time, whether it was Zhang Zhongmou, chairman of the board of directors at the Taipei headquarters, Liu Xuanzhe, CEO in Ningzhou, and Jiang Leader, who was responsible for receiving the Taiwanese capital negotiation team in Ningzhou, they did not expect that Xu Teng's counterattack this time had just begun, and there was definitely more than such a move.
After Xu Teng returned from Russia, his plan was to spend half a year carefully sorting out the business of the Huayin Consortium, focusing on the financial industry and laying out the bloody oil country.
However, the development of the situation is always unsatisfactory, and there are always unforeseen circumstances in this world.
In desperation, on March 18, Xu Teng quietly arrived in Seoul, South Korea, without any advance arrangement, and directly met with Samsung's Li family, almost at an amazing speed, in two days, negotiated a comprehensive cooperation with Samsung in the research and development of 20nm/14nm process technology.
Samsung, Huateng Electronics are in the field of semiconductor manufacturing catch-up, but Samsung's time to catch up is earlier, Huateng Electronics is a little later, as a catch-up, both have a common drawback - insufficient technology accumulation, can only be busy catching up with the most advanced technology
Compared with TSMC's complete technological progress route from 28nm/20nm/16nm/10nm, Samsung and Huateng can only greatly simplify the curve of technological progress in order to reach the technical level of the same generation, and jump directly from 28nm to the 14nm technology camp led by Intel.
This disadvantage is enormous.
Samsung and Huateng have the same technology direction, both are 14nm FinFET technology, and both are expected to achieve mass production in 2015, but FinFET technology is very different from the experience of 2D planar technology in the past 28nm era, and there are huge differences in all aspects of process, design, IP and electronic design automation tools (EDA), and many challenges must be overcome to finally mature.
To improve this problem, it is necessary not only to fully master FinFET technology, but also to build up a large number of high-quality and experienced young researchers, based on overtime research and development in three shifts at any cost.
Samsung's advantage is actually an alliance with IBM, and it has always been the object of support from IBM and Qualcomm to avoid TSMC's monopoly, while the advantage of Huateng Electronics is that it has a large number of high-quality young scientific research talents.
The common advantage of the two companies is that they have more capital than TSMC, and they have poached many top scientific research leaders from TSMC and Intel, and they have gradually cultivated a first-rate scientific research team that meets their own characteristics in the past ten years of catching up.
For a long time, Xu Teng has always planned to defeat Samsung and TSMC at the same time, but now the plan has changed, and he can only unite with Samsung and remain undefeated before anything else.
This time, Xu Teng not only cooperated with Samsung, but also pulled Singapore's GF into the team, and the three jointly promoted the research and development of 20nm technology, because Huateng and Samsung had no reserves and research plans for 20nm process technology before, and GF's 20nm technology is actually not far from mass production.
The follow-up direction of the three is slightly different.
Although Huateng Electronics has also agreed to use triple exposure in the research of 14nm FinFET technology, it has also reached a long-term strategic cooperation agreement with IMEC in Belgium because of its cooperation with domestic military institutes in the research and development of EUV extreme ultraviolet lithography technology, and is confident enough to directly use EUV extreme ultraviolet lithography in 10nm technology.
Samsung lacks this advantage, so it can only continue to use frog jump tactics to skip 10nm and directly cut into 7nm to compete with TSMC and Intel.
GF itself is the second echelon of the Huayin consortium, and there is no need to quickly cut into the 10nm/7nm competition, so after completing the 20nm FinHP/HPM technology research, it will continue to cooperate with Huateng Electronics and Samsung Electronics in 14nm FinFET technology research at the same time, continue to deepen the research on 16nm technology, and compete for the special market of TSMC and Taiwan UMC.
Under Intel and TSMC, Samsung, Huateng, Taiwan UMC, and GF are actually the second echelon of the global semiconductor process technology.
On the basis of Samsung, Huateng and GF reaching the second echelon technology alliance, Huateng Electronics and Samsung Electronics have reached a joint venture in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and GF in the Pearl River Delta joint venture agreement, the technical standards are 12-inch wafer 28/20nm process technology, the former will continue to be derived from the 14nm FinFET process, and the latter will continue to be derived from the 16nm FinHP/HPM process.
To put it simply, the Huayin consortium helped Samsung and GF integrate into the industrial chain of mainland semiconductors, and provided financing services to obtain returns.
Xu Teng went to South Korea on March 18, signed an agreement in lightning, and immediately returned to China on the 22nd, went directly to Huzhou, signed an investment agreement, and invested in the construction of a 12-inch wafer factory with 28/20nm process in Jiaxing.
On the 24th, he returned to Jiangzhou, signed a new investment agreement again, continued to acquire land, and invested 70 billion yuan to expand Jiangzhou IT Industrial Park, of which 40 billion yuan was used to provide financing support funds for small and medium-sized enterprises in the park.
What is a financing support fund?
If you use my process technology and follow my pace, I will provide you with a loan to fight a price war.
Xu Teng has no intention of negotiating with Jiangnan Province at all, let alone with TSMC, he only told both parties that his current attitude is very clear, and he would rather play this industry until everyone loses their money than negotiate.
There is a kind, you can come, he doesn't care.
In fact, many people have not noticed that there is not only competition between the Huayin consortium and the Samsung consortium, there is no cooperation, in 2011, when the Samsung Group transferred its mechanical hard disk business, the acquirer was the Huayin consortium's Yituo company.
In 2002, the Great Wall Computer Company launched the Yituo mechanical hard disk, which was soon squeezed by the foreign giants, and in 2004, the Huayin consortium quietly took over the acquisition of Yituo Company to support it.
In 2007, Yituo acquired Seagate's Maxtor hard disk business, making up for many technical deficiencies in one fell swoop, and began to steadily become a midstream enterprise of domestic mechanical hard disk, and in 2011, it acquired Samsung hard disk again, and finally squeezed a place in the global mechanical hard disk market.
Although the global HDD market has been declining, the total volume is still large, and HDD still has the advantages of long life and stable read rate, which is suitable for industrial applications.
As a catch-up in the field of semiconductor chip foundry, the technical exchanges between Samsung and Huateng have essentially been ongoing, and Samsung Electronics lacks communication technology patents, which is easy to be asked by Qualcomm's communication baseband.
In the field of 4G, Samsung and Apple are using a large number of baseband chips of Huateng Electronics Group in an attempt to get rid of Qualcomm dependence at a faster speed.
This time, the situation became quite awkward.
TSMC will definitely still build a factory in the mainland, the question is how long this factory can last after it is completed, that is unknown.
Xu Teng's attitude has been very clear, if you come, I will definitely fight a price war, and I will lose billions of dollars to squeeze out the profits of your factory.
TSMC can consume a few years, but sunlight cannot afford it.
Haihong's Guo Dong and TSMC are the same dog, and it is unknown whether they dare to continue to bet on whether they dare to continue to bet by uniting TSMC and ASE in Ningzhou, coercing Huateng Electronics to give up the chip foundry business and reduce investment in the panel industry.
Xu Teng also knew that he was dancing on the edge of the cliff, seemingly confident and arrogant, but in fact he was taking a huge risk, but he could indeed bear these things and was very patient.
Back in Jiangzhou, he still arranged his work in an orderly manner, unhurriedly following his pace, moving between busy work and comfortable life.
Enjoy the busyness of work, enjoy the happiness of family and friends, enjoy the practice and confusion in the process of growing up, enjoy this thirty-year-old year, enjoy the second realm of life, and go to know the destiny of heaven.
In the afternoon of this day, in the spring season of Jiangzhou.
Xu Teng's office on the 48th floor of Huateng Building welcomed several very special guests, Mr. Hu Zhengming, academician of the American Academy of Engineering, foreign academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, vice president of Yangtze University, and Chinese-American professor, as well as Cai Lixin, chairman and CEO of Jiangzhou SIASUN Semiconductor Technology Co., Ltd., and Liang Maisong, deputy executive president and technical director.
All three of them have great backgrounds.
Among the seven major 985/211 universities in Jiangzhou and Jianghuai Province, Jiang University of Science and Technology, Jiang University of Technology, and Jiang University of Science and Technology are typical of emphasizing science and light literature, and Jiang University of Science and Technology and Jiang University of Technology are 985 universities.
Among the seven major universities, Jiang Medical University and Jiang Normal University belong to typical technical professions with specializations, while Jiangzhou University and Yangtze University are typical liberal arts departments.
Yangtze University is known for its economics and finance, but it has also been striving for development in the fields of computers, semiconductors, communications and bioengineering, so it will hire Hu Zhengming as vice president at any cost.
Liang Maisong is a student of Hu Zhengming, TSMC's main leader in the past ten years, an expert in the field of semiconductor process technology, and Cai Lixin is the former CEO of TSMC, who was once regarded as the inevitable successor to Zhang Zhongmou.
Unfortunately, there are unforeseen circumstances.
Cai Lixin made repeated mistakes in dealing with the financial crisis, and was finally removed from the position of CEO and locked up in the deserted yamen.
At the end of 2009, after Cai Lixin determined that there was no chance to return to TSMC's power center, he quietly recruited a group of people within TSMC, led by Liang Maisong, who was ready to join Huateng Electronics Group.
Of course, there is Xu Teng's support behind these things, but Huateng Electronics and TSMC have had a very fierce quarrel because of the poaching of people, and the lawsuit has been fought all the way to the United States, so Xu Teng has played a new trick.
Through the JAC Provincial Semiconductor Industry Support Fund, Xu Teng provided a $200 million start-up fund for Cai Lixin and Liang Maisong to help them establish a new SIASUN semiconductor technology company, develop a new structure, focus on industrial semiconductors and applications, and provide design consulting services for other small and medium-sized semiconductor companies.
These are only part of the story.
In fact, Huateng Electronics was able to make a rapid breakthrough in 28nmHKMG technology and fully achieve mass production in 2012, which also relied on many mature technologies provided by this team.
TSMC is in a hurry here, because the team that Cai Lixin and Liang Maisong poached from TSMC is basically the main force of TSMC, from 40nm to 28nm to 20/16nm, all the way over.
Xu Teng played very insidious again this time, TSMC hired the best team of lawyers to collect information, and wanted to complain, but there was still no possibility of winning the lawsuit.
The company's legal team is very perfect, and it has long avoided the risk of being sued from all aspects, and has acquired a number of technology patents from Infineon, IBM, IMEC, AND AMD at a high price, and then cross-holds a part of the patents with Samsung and GF, which are specifically used to deal with TSMC's tried and tested patent lawsuits.
From 2010 to 2013, most of SIASONG's team survived competition laws and contractual restrictions.
Xu Teng can now start a formal acquisition agreement, and the entire team will be included in Huateng Electronics Group in the name of righteousness, and everyone has not violated any risk, and these people of SIASUN have also obtained sufficient returns through the acquisition.
Play their proper role.
Xu Teng's acquisition of SIASUN is to officially launch the 10nm process EUV process assault plan, and strive to win this technology within 4 years.
The specific purchase amount and terms were negotiated as early as last year, before Xu Teng visited the United States.
This meeting is just a symbolic chat, and by the way, I would like to thank Professor Hu, who has trained a group of excellent doctoral students for Huateng Electronics in recent years, all of whom are fresh and high-quality talents.
The four of them had a great chat.
At this time, even if he has been dancing on the edge of the cliff, Xu Teng is also a personable lead dancer, elegant and pleasant, making a pot of top-quality oolong tea in a suit and leather shoes, and chatting with several overseas Chinese and Taiwanese compatriots about his visit to Europe last year.
It was when the spring breeze was harmonious, and Han Dai sent a message to Xu Teng in the office of the chief assistant officer next door, informing Xu Teng that Jiang Leader of Jiangnan Province came to visit him urgently.
It seems that he was really in a hurry, so he didn't say a word in advance, and asked the secretary to call Xu Teng's office when he was about to arrive in Jiangzhou.
Xu Teng looked at the time, and estimated that there were still ten minutes.
"Director, if you have something, I'll leave first, and the school also happens to have some things to deal with. Professor Hu got up first and said goodbye, he not only had to bring a doctorate, but also basic scientific research projects in the field of semiconductors to do.
Xu Teng nodded slightly, and got up to send him off in person.
Different people, different treatment, the project that this professor is responsible for at Yangtze University is the core part of EUV exposure process technology, Xu Teng has invested 300 million US dollars in the past 5 years, and naturally he has to personally deliver it to the elevator door.
Seeing Professor Hu leave, Xu Tengcai returned to the office, and sighed with Cai Lixin and Liang Maisong, "I'm afraid that Jiangnan Province is really in a hurry, but it's hard to say how anxious it is." ”
"Chairman, do you say that we really want to work hard with TSMC in the field of 28nm and 20nm, leaving no profits?" Although Cai Lixin has put money in his pocket, he will officially "go out of the mountain" in a few months, and he will always think about the group's money bag.
"In fact, how much you can lose, hundreds of millions of dollars, don't worry about it for the time being. Xu Teng smiled very casually, continued to drink tea leisurely, and even casually looked at the scenery of Jiangzhou outside the floor-to-ceiling window.
"I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANYTHING TO LOSE, AND NOW LET'S PLACE AN ORDER WITH APPLE'S A8 PROCESSOR, WHICH IS JUST RIGHT TO LOWER THE PRICE AND GET BACK THE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN LOSSES." Liang Maisong's idea made money quickly, and he had already guessed Xu Teng's general compensation strategy.
Xu Teng's tossing and operation during this period of time definitely shocked the global IT industry, almost rewriting the entire global IT power map, according to his plan, how long TSMC can last on the hegemonic throne, no one can say!
Xu Teng is definitely not to blame for these.
Intel, TSMC, Samsung, Huateng Electronics four global chip foundry enterprises, in the global market customers are different, have their own place, Huateng Electronics' customers are mainly domestic small and medium-sized chip designers, and TSMC is a global range of large and medium-sized customers, the two sides are not in the scope of fierce competition at all.
Huateng Electronics' chip foundry business, the market share is only 1/4 of TSMC, and the profits are meager, which will attract TSMC's comprehensive strangulation and confrontation, which is indeed too much for TSMC.
Objectively speaking, TSMC has occupied half of the global chip foundry business, whether it is Apple, or AMD, Qualcomm, and IBM are worried that TSMC's monopoly situation will continue for a long time, and there will be tacit support for Samsung and Huateng Electronics.
If you really want to talk about competition, TSMC and Samsung are the real mortal enemies, and the main opponent of Huateng Electronics is Taiwan Union Electric...... competition in these areas.
Even in the field of consumer chips, Huateng Electronics' biggest opponent is Qualcomm, not TSMC.
Therefore, it is not that Huateng Electronics threatens TSMC, but that TSMC is unruly and has taken a fancy to the mainland chip market that Huateng Electronics has worked hard to cultivate in the past ten years, and wants to replace it and use its technological advantages to seize the fruits of victory.
TSMC is very aware that with the rise of the mainland economy, the mainland chip market cultivated by Huateng Electronics will become bigger and bigger, and it may be able to share the world equally with the American chip industry within ten years, and it must use the advantages of Taiwanese capital to compete for this market.
This is really excessive.
Huateng Electronics Group and its parent company, Huayin Consortium, as well as the Xu family behind the scenes, have spent more than ten years to incubate and cultivate this market, how much effort has it taken to have today's scale and prospects?
The most excessive is Jiangnan Province, which clearly knows these things, and does not hesitate to help and abuse for the benefit of a province, and wants to take advantage of this opportunity to achieve a win-win situation for the province, not only to win the semiconductor industrial park of the Taiwan-funded consortium, but also to force the Huayin consortium to make profits to Jiangnan Province and move the new production line and scientific research center to Jiangnan Province.
This really angered Xu Teng.
Of course, in today's position, Xu Teng will not directly give Jiang Leader Jiang in Jiangnan Province a closed door, since he is here, he still has to meet.
In the middle of the ten minutes, he talked with Cai Lixin and Liang Maisong about the recent work plan, and the overall level of the domestic chip industry design field is still good, and the growth rate is very fast.
On the list of the top 50 global IC design companies, China has 3 in the top 10 fields and 14 in the top 50 fields, and 4 of the 14 Chinese IC design companies are subsidiaries of the Huayin consortium, and the other 7 are Huayin consortium to participate in venture capital and PE investment, including Huawei, and so far 1/4 of the equity is still controlled in the hands of Galaxy Capital.
Huateng Electronics Group has always been the most important partner of various chip design companies in China, providing a wide range of design consulting and financing services.
Siasun Semiconductor Technology Co., Ltd., co-founded by Tsai Lixin and Liang Maisong, as well as other former TSMC employees, mainly does design consulting services for Mentor and Allegro circuit board-level EDAs, and uses senior experience, especially in the field of 45nm/40nm/28nm/20nm wafer process technology, to assist small and medium-sized IC design companies to improve and optimize their designs.
Their business is ostensibly in competition with Huateng Electronics, but in fact, they support each other, because Mentor and Allegro are one of the four EDA software acquired by Huateng Electronics overseas, and they are also the standard system promoted by Huateng Consortium at home and abroad.
From 2007 to 2012, President Obma, the White House and Congress did not realize the particularity of Huateng Electronics, and did not prevent dozens of small and medium-sized acquisitions of Huateng Electronics in the IT industry in the United States.
Today, Huateng Electronics Group is not only the only IC giant in China that owns the ownership of the three major chip architecture systems, but also the only IC giant in China with a complete independent EDA software system, with 7 kinds of EDA software, which can provide professional chip design assistance services in various mainstream IC design fields.
It's really kind of embarrassing.
Because the independent EDA software of the Huateng system has profound power in the degree of sinicization, and has the fastest update speed in the pertinence of the development characteristics of the domestic IC industry, and has gradually formed the territory of the three major EDA systems in China, the United States and Japan around the world, each with its own market space, and no one can help anyone.
On the other hand, based on the overall production capacity, comprehensiveness and export scale of China's industry, the three chip architecture systems of the Huateng series have gradually become the mainstream of China's semiconductor industry by virtue of their advantages in the simplified instruction set, and are widely used in various industrial sectors.
In fact, the development trend of chip architecture in the world today is towards the development of reduced instruction set, although Intel's x86 architecture is a complex instruction set, it has been moving towards the general trend of reduced instruction set in recent years.
At this point, Intel, AMD, and Huateng Electronics are all the same.
However, Huateng Electronics Group has a deeper ability to streamline the instruction set, with 4 world-class huge teams, and the number of young designers is the sum of Intel, AMD, and IBM.
On the X86 architecture, when Huateng Electronics re-edited the new HTX8480 microarchitecture based on AMD's FX8320, it burned the fresh livers of thousands of young employees in 24 hours, and the workload of re-decoding and debugging instruction compatibility conflicts was the largest, and the transition to a reduced instruction set was the largest.
In contrast, Intel does not have so many high-quality and cheap young employees, and it can't afford to burn fresh livers, and the changes in the Corei5-2300 microarchitecture are much more conservative, while AMD's FX8420 microarchitecture is the most conservative and has the highest power consumption.
Therefore, the so-called technology industry is also purely fighting people, the power of Taiwan's semiconductor industry is not the fiercest fight for people, the entire Taiwan IT young talent pool is very good, and the salary is also very low...... The result is a dig and run.
As long as the employees of TSMC, UMC, and MediaTek hear that they are going to the mainland for development, they will run away with their bags, and if the new owner belongs to the Huayin consortium, they can also help the new owner recruit a new team to collectively jump ship, anyway, there is basically not much difference in life between the mainland and Taiwan.
Cai Lixin is a typical example, this is the former CEO who was once expected to take over as the chairman of TSMC, and his internal connections in TSMC are second only to Zhang Zhongmou.
In fact, after Cai Lixin and Liang Maisong, a group of technology masters, TSMC and other Taiwanese semiconductor companies are no longer able to fight their tactics, Taiwan's IT youth talent pool has long been inferior to that year, and the mainland's IT youth talent pool is truly the world's first, with more than one million graduates in the field of computer, electronic information and network engineering every year.
Regarding this point, when Cai Lixin and Liang Maisong went to Jiangzhou to establish "SIASUN Semiconductor Technology Company", they chatted with Xu Teng for several hours in Xu Teng's chairman's office, and they felt a lot of emotion.
Everyone basically has a unanimous consensus that the overall rise of China's semiconductor industry is a matter of the past decade, and the United States can't stop it, there is no way, there are too many new youths, and they can burn the United States alive if they burn their livers.
The next country with such hope is India.
