Chapter 842: Mitsui in action

readx;

Things are not as simple as imagined, Zhang Ke followed Ye Jianbin to Jianye Hotel, and Yao Wensheng intercepted him halfway through the hotel lobby. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"The district has just received a notice that officials from the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Information Industry will accompany representatives of Huaxia Electronics, Mitsui & Co., and RBNEC Electronics to visit the construction factory of Zhongjing Microchip in Jianye three days later, and ask us to do a good job of reception, and the notice is forwarded by the mayor......'s office."

"What do they want to do?" Ye Jianbin frowned and asked, Mitsui & Co. Office in China was deeply involved in the 5** case, and it was really intriguing to choose this time to dispatch.

"Mitsui's usual trick," Cui Guoheng has studied the RB General Trading Company for a long time, and is very clear about Mitsui & Co.'s commercial penetration model into other countries, and said without thinking, "After the 516 case, Mitsui doesn't want to lose its rare earth interests in China, they won't sit back and watch the situation change, this time they probably want to stuff a sweet jujube." ”

Mitsui, NEC Electronics, Huaxia Electronics; Zhongjing Microchip, Mayor's Office - Xiao Mingjian?

Zhang Ke stood in the splendid hall of Jianye Hotel, looked up at the shining tower-shaped crystal chandelier overhead, and muttered for a few seconds before he asked himself with a little hesitation: "They want to build a second wafer factory in China?" He raised his hand and pointed to his watch, and asked Ye Jianbin and Cui Guoheng to attend the seminar first.

Ye Jianbin and Cui Guoheng went to attend the morning seminar first, and Zhang Ke asked Yao Wensheng: "Where is Secretary Wang?" ”

"He's still in Sinpo, and he can spare time to come to the city at noon."

"No, since they want to visit the Zhongjing Microchip project, we always have to make some preparations first," Zhang Ke said, "Let's go to Xinpu, you call and ask Secretary Wang if he has time to meet at the factory." ”

Liu Zhicheng, who was the chief operating officer of TSMC, is really unquestionable about his ability to build a factory, and the project of Zhongjing Microchip was officially launched in October last year, at this time, the factory has entered the stage of equipment installation and will have the first 0.35 micron wafer under the production line in October this year.

Zhang Ke, Wang Weijun and Liu Zhicheng met in front of the factory gate and walked to the factory under construction.

"A long time ago, the central government planned to introduce wafer technology from RB, and the negotiation object was also NEC Electronics, but the negotiations have not progressed for a long time, and it seems that Mitsui is pushing NEC Electronics to become active behind the scenes," Wang Weijun said, "Zhongjing Microchip is about to be built, and those overseas manufacturers also realize that it is meaningless to block 0.35 micron wafer process technology from China at this time......

"Heh, but for the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Information Industry, the meaning is different," Zhang Ke said with a slight smile, "The National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Information Industry have no choice but to support us in the construction of the Sinocrystal Microchip project, in their eyes, after the completion of the Sinocrystal Microchip, it is always someone else's child, if Mitsui & Co. and NEC promise to provide technology to build a joint venture with Huaxia Electronics to build a wafer factory, they will have their own children to raise......"

"Two children fighting for milk?" Wang Weijun frowned slightly and smiled wryly, Zhang Ke's analogy was really appropriate, and said: "Zhongjing Microchip will be able to get much less support from the central government in the future......

"......" Zhang Ke pursed his lips slightly, "Mitsui's main intention is to use this project to influence the 516 case, I don't know if they will deliberately target Zhongjing Microchip - but they hope to promote the process of the project soon, so that the central government can choose between the 516 case and the wafer factory project, once the 516 case is closed, it will not make much sense for Mitsui to work this matter......"

"When the high-tech zone builds supporting facilities for Zhongjing Microchip, the needs of the second phase of the project are taken into account - if they build the project in Jianye, they can directly compete for the supporting resources of Zhongjing Microchip, and the project process will naturally speed up a lot......" Liu Zhicheng frowned, "They suddenly want to visit us, and they also mean something!" Liu Zhicheng wanted to start the second phase of the project with more advanced process technology immediately after the completion of the first phase of the project, so as to catch up with foreign advanced technology as soon as possible, but with such a change, Zhongjing Microchip not only did not get the financial support of the central government in the construction of the factory, but also very likely that the supporting resources of the second phase of the project were taken away by Mitsui United Huaxia Electronics - I was really unhappy to hear such news.

"They're going to build the project right here?" Wang Weijun also felt a big headache, and the notice was transferred from Xiao Mingjian's office, which means that Xiao Mingjian will lead the introduction of the project.

Luo Jun is the secretary of the municipal party committee, and the division of labor in economic work is responsible for the overall deployment of industrial development. The economic work at the operational level is under the jurisdiction of Mayor Xiao Mingjian and the municipal government.

Luo Jun stretched out his hand very long before, but he couldn't stretch his hand long all the time, Xiao Mingjian might take this opportunity to get back the due authority of the city government from Luo Jun. It is impossible for Luo Jun to refuse Huaxia Electronics and NEC to build a wafer factory in the high-tech zone - an investment of more than one billion US dollars, and further consolidate the industrial foundation of the digital corridor concept, so that the development of Jianye City's high-tech industry is far ahead of other key cities in China. For Luo Jun, who is not far from the day of ascension, he may no longer mind Xiao Mingjian fighting with him for power in Jianye.

Xiao Mingjian became stronger, and Wang Weijun's situation would be relatively painful, and he chewed lightly: "No wonder he has been jumping up and down so actively during this time?" "It's not been a few days since the municipal law enforcement team went to Xuefu Lane to enforce the law and make that mess, and the worry in my heart has turned into a reality, which is really difficult to face.

"It's not all bad," Zhang Ke said, "and we have been talking about fab cooperation with Deyi for several months without progress, which should be a boost to Deyi...... In addition, there are some things that we cannot prevent. It's like running a marathon, even if they are also building a wafer factory in Jianye, the real competition is whether they can make a profit after the wafer factory is built, and whether they can promote the development of domestic high-tech industries and technologies, which is the fundamental factor in calculating victory or defeat. No matter how big the stall is, wouldn't it be more ugly to rot in your hands? ”

After meeting with Wang Weijun and exchanging views, Zhang Ke did not stay in Xinpu for lunch, but took a car back to the city, and was blocked on the bridge when he passed the Xiaojiang Bridge. Only another car was sent to the bridge to pick up, Zhang Ke, Zhai Danqing, Fu Jun and others crossed the bridge on foot.

"I think Jianye City can consider the planning of the three bridges......" Zhai Danqing lifted the hair on his sideburns, looked at the convoy on the bridge deck, and sighed.

Today, the weather is fine, the clear blue sky is floating like silky light clouds, and standing on the bridge, you can see the construction site of the second bridge. The second bridge can be closed and opened to traffic at the end of the year at the earliest, although the completion of the second bridge will alleviate the traffic congestion in the south and north of the Jiangnan in Jianye City, but it can not completely solve the problem, especially to accelerate the development of the Jiangbei region, not to mention that there must be four to five main passages to connect the south of the Yangtze River and the north of the Yangtze River.

"We don't have to worry about this leisure," Zhang Ke sighed lightly, as the scale ......of Jianye's high-tech industry became larger and larger, Kumho's role in the development of Jianye's high-tech industry was no longer so eye-catching, and its direct impact on the city would naturally gradually weaken. Luo Jun is a very realistic official, and he has always only borrowed and borrowed from Kumho, and even the city of Jianye is just a pedal on his career, Zhang Ke has never pinned everything on Luo Jun.

"Before, I thought that the time to establish Kumho Commercial was a little early, but today it seems that it is really not ......early," Zhai Danqing looked sideways at Zhang Ke.

Zhang Ke smiled slightly bitterly and didn't speak, but felt a little headache. This kind of thing should be foreseen, with the experience of the past, how could he be deceived by Mitsui's tricks? The technology provided by NEC and Huaxia Electronics jointly built a wafer factory, which was also lame. It's a pity that even if these projects will become a mess in the future, Ge Jiande and Xiao Mingjian have already used this pedal to rise up, and no one will ever stand up and take a little responsibility for the mess.

Zhai Danqing got into the car and watched Zhang Ke close his eyes slightly with the back of his head against the window glass, and the light from the car window fell on his fair and delicate cheeks, like a layer of milky white light, forming a light and dark area with the straight bridge of his nose as the dividing line. Even if you look at it with a strict eye, this face should be classified as handsome, but the brows are slightly frowned, which makes people feel a little distressed when they look at it.

Zhai Danqing thought in her heart: There are women who have a headache for this kid, and no matter how much they can't take their turn.

Zhang Ke felt that his brain was a little swollen, these days he used his brain excessively, and he often had some migraines, but he had to eat with Liang Weifa at noon, and there was no way to turn back to rest, just press his fingers against his temples to relieve it slightly. In addition to Kumho Mining, the main purpose of Liang Weifa's visit to Jianye this time was to negotiate with Donghai Province for the second time for the regional economic cooperation plan. The key areas of Xiaojiang regional economic cooperation are Haizhou, Huishan, Jianye, and the five cities of Jinshan and Sinting in Jiangnan Province, and Kumho hopes to have a stake in the city commercial banks of Jinshan and Xinting. Kumho seeks to have a deeper influence on the regional economy, and it is an indispensable way to exert influence in the financial sector, and city commercial banks are currently the only areas in the domestic financial industry that are open to private capital. Although the scale of urban commercial banks is very small and they are restricted from operating locally, if the city commercial banks in Haizhou, Huishan, Jianye, Jinshan, and Xinting can unite and strengthen cooperation with each other, they will be able to break through the restrictions of regional policies to a certain extent. In the future, when the policies of urban commercial banks are further liberalized, the urban commercial banks of the five regions can unite to form a large commercial bank. Kumho wants to control a large financial institution in China, which is probably the only possibility in the next 10 years.

By noon, Liang Weifa also knew that representatives of Mitsui & Co. and NEC Electronics would visit the construction plant of Sinochip Microchip accompanied by officials from the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Information Industry and Huaxia Electronics. People who hear this news can't help but think that Mitsui & Co. will join hands with NEC Electronics to support Huaxia Electronics to build its second wafer fab project in China.

After having lunch with Liang Weifa, Zhang Ke met with Cui Wenyi and Chen Rongkun respectively to exchange views, Ye Zhenmin was going back to Beijing in the afternoon, and Zhang Ke personally sent Ye Zhenmin to the airport.

Standing in the waiting hall, Ye Zhenmin said with a slight worry: "Mitsui's movements are fast? ”

Zhang Ke remembered a book of "Mitsui in Action" in later generations, and said with a smile: "It's good to have the opportunity to fight hand-to-hand, second uncle, you don't have time to spare, otherwise you will only stay in Jianye for two days to see the faces of those people." ”

Ye Zhenmin smiled, he has been in officialdom all these years, what face has he not seen? Kumho has created a refreshing atmosphere, but it is Kumho's maverick behavior that has caused Kumho to suffer some undeserved rejection.

Returning to the youth apartment from the airport, the back of his head was swollen and painful, and he sat on the sofa to calm down, trying to relieve the headache, listening to Zhai Danqing's stiletto heels walking crisply on the marble floor.

Zhai Danqing was about to prepare the materials for Cui Guoheng to see, looking at Zhang Ke sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed, his brows were slightly frowning because of the headache, presumably the tense nerves could not be relaxed, so naturally he couldn't take a breath, put the materials on the table, and walked behind him: "Do you want to find someone to help you rub it?" But I saw Zhang Ke leaning on the back of the sofa with his head raised, his brows stretched, and the corners of his mouth floated into a shallow smile that seemed to be enjoying herself, and that look clearly wanted her to do it herself.

This scoundrel! Zhai Danqing scolded in his heart, but he didn't refuse, he raised his hand and rubbed his finger against Zhang Ke's head.

Zhai Danqing's fingers came with a slightly cool and delicate touch, standing beside her, smelling the faint fragrance of her body, with the feeling of entering the merlin late, it was rare for Zhai Danqing to take the initiative to bring it up, but Zhang Ke didn't dare to have such a luxury, but it was a pity that Zhai Danqing's fingering was not proficient, Zhang Ke didn't dare to give detailed guidance for a while, didn't dare to point out where it should be heavier, where it should be lighter, the range of finger movement could also be larger, and his back muscles seemed to be a little sore.

Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, Zhang Ke opened his eyes vigilantly, and Sun Jingmeng pushed the door in and looked at them suspiciously: "What are you doing?" ”

Zhai Danqing withdrew her hand the moment before the door was pushed open, but her posture with Zhang Ke was also a little weird, Zhang Ke lowered her head and pillowed on the back of the sofa, she stood behind the sofa, her hand pulled away from Zhang Ke's head but did not have time to fall, but Zhai Danqing was not flustered, seeing the suspicion in Sun Jingmeng's eyes, Wan Er smiled: "What are you worried about us doing?" ”

"Who cares about what you do?" Sun Jingmeng's wariness when she entered the door made Zhai Danqing disperse with a word, pursed her lips, stood at the door, changed her shoes and walked upstairs.

Ikesa Hidezo visited Beijing in early April and visited Nobuyuki Ohno, then the general representative of Mitsui & Co. in China, who handed him two documents, one on the progress of Mitsui & Co.'s major related projects in China, and the other on Mitsui & Co.'s business plan in China. Each document has the thickness of an open palm, showing the importance of the Chinese market to Mitsui. However, on the eve of his arrival in Beijing again to officially serve as the general representative of Mitsui China, the 516 case was discovered, which not only damaged Mitsui's rare earth interests in China, but also implicated Mitsui's other businesses in China.

Getting rid of the impact of the 516 case on Mitsui's business in China and recovering Mitsui's rare earth interests in China as much as possible has become a difficult problem that Hidezo Ikesa must face before he officially takes up his post in Beijing.

In a Japanese-style pub in the back alley of Wangfujing, Beijing, Li Zaizhu sat on the tatami mat, his hand on the wooden table casually, his eyes looked at Ikesa Hidezo who was sitting opposite, and said lightly: "Mitsui is deeply entangled in this entanglement and it is difficult to get out. I heard that Kumho set aside China's agency in charge of the rare earth industry and gathered some officials in Jianye to discuss how to completely control the rare earth industry in one hand. Once they succeed, they will be eyeing Mitsui's other businesses in China as well...... However, Mitsui's attack this time is a hard hit on their soft underbelly, and Zhongjing Microchip has placed great expectations on them! ”

"Samsung doesn't have to worry?" Ikesa Shuzo asked.

"Samsung is dragged down by the Asian financial crisis and is still struggling desperately in the quagmire, where does it have the energy to think about things so far away?" Lee Jae-so said, "Even if you are worried, you can't do Mitsui's fierce counterattack." ”

"Even if Samsung is still struggling in the quagmire, as far as I know, this year's budget for research is 600 million more than last year's $2 billion...... Before I came to Beijing, I heard someone tell me that even if Samsung struggled in the quagmire, he would not despise Samsung, because once Samsung struggled out of the quagmire, it would be a fierce beast, and even Mitsui would have to be careful. I wonder if such a metaphor is appropriate. ”

"It's really nice to hear Xiuzang say such things, I hope you didn't say this to numb us," Lee Jae-so laughed and said, "We have been following Kumho for a while, and if Mitsui can set the project site in Jianye, it will not only completely suppress Zhongjing Microchip in the future market competition, but also squeeze the development space of Zhongjing Microchip in Jianye. If there's anything else you need help with, just ask me. I happen to be going to Jianye during this time, I don't know if I can go with me the day after tomorrow? ”

Chi Zuo Xiuzang's eyes narrowed, and he nodded and agreed: "Mitsui & Co. is only a matchmaker between NEC and Huaxia Electronics, why doesn't Samsung directly add a boost to this cooperation?" ”

"Where we can, how can we back down," said Lee Jae-so, "Samsung's current predicament is to survive, and for this reason, the chairman even sold the semiconductor factory he founded himself to the Americans...... There are people in the top management of Mitsui who have some opinions about us, otherwise we would have asked for help directly to Mitsui Gate. ”

At that time, Samsung was in a financial crisis, but Lee Kun-hee, who has the reputation of "the god of HG management", is still leading the future of Samsung, while actively taking measures to solve the financial crisis, but at the same time strengthening research investment in digital technology, it can be seen that Samsung has never given up its ambitions for the market, and Lee Jae-so's weakness at this time is just their survival strategy.

Ji Sasu was not happy to say some bluff words to Lee Jae-so again, and asked about Li Xinyu's current situation: "I heard that Xinyu decided to study in China after the summer, I don't know if she has chosen a good school?" ”

"I don't know about this," Lee Jae-so said, "I thought Xinyu told you." I originally planned to study abroad for a year and officially enrolled in a school in Tokyo, but I didn't know which tendon was wrong with this girl, and I suddenly decided to study in China. She looks weak, but she thinks about something but a tendon, could she have known that Xiuzang was going to come to Beijing to take up a post? ”

Although Ikesa Hidezo was told as early as mid-March that he would come to China to take up a post, the news was not announced to the public until early May, not to mention Li Xinyu, even Samsung's intelligence and search department did not know that he was going to take up a post in China, but Li Xinyu was going to study in China before that, but he had nothing to do with himself. Remembering the disgusting Chinese face he had encountered in front of the Tokyo Electronics Show, Ikesa Hidezo felt an unpleasant emotion welling up in his heart.

"Chi Sa-kun met Miss Xinyu for the first time eight years ago, right?" Jin Nanyong saw that the topic turned to Li Xinyu, and he happily interjected.

"Yes, I was shocked when I first saw Xinyu eight years ago," Ikesa Hidezo, like most RB men, will not hide his greed for beauty, "I have always been worried about marrying the ugly daughters of other families under the pressure of the family, even if I don't have to bear many responsibilities as a husband, but it is not a pleasant thing to see an ugly woman from time to time, and it is worth it to see Xinyu and decide to wait for ten years for Xinyu to grow into adulthood." ”

Lee Jae-so was slightly unhappy in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, said goodbye and left, and only after getting in the car did he say to Kim Nam-yong: "Is it now an opportunity for us to talk about cooperation with Kumho?" Kumho's digital audio player technology and Chinese digital key input technology will be of great help to Samsung's business. ”
