Just when Ling Shizhe was embarrassed by the chip factory, Boer and several of his assistants also ended the discussion in the reception room, and Boer told Ling Shizhe the results of the discussion, and after a telephone discussion with the experts of the company headquarters and the company's headquarters, they decided to adopt the plan that Nien said, integrate the power management technology into the power supply IC, and let the electronics companies design their own electronic products after getting their power supply IC.

After exchanging some opinions with Ling Shizhe, Bol took his leave.

After calling Alison to the office, Ling Shizhe talked to Alison about the chip factory, Alison said with a smile: "Boss, now we don't have to worry too much, the power supply IC of the National Semiconductor Company is not mature now, and it will be inseparable from the foundry business for us for a while, and Signatix Semiconductor Company is still in its infancy, and it will not be able to do without the foundry business we handed over to him in 2 years." But Nion is right, it will take 2 years for the chip factory to start construction immediately, and now the development of semiconductors is very fast, and if we don't plan now, we will be very passive in the future, and we must start the chip factory now and solve our own production capacity. ”

"How much will the entire budget of the factory cost, do you make a plan?" Ling Shizhe asked, "Is the factory built there, Silicon Valley?" ”

"Wait a minute, boss, I've investigated with Nien, I'll call him," Alison made a phone call and notified Nien to come over, and after Nien came over, Alison continued: "These days, I have done a little investigation with Nien, and I think that the chip factory does not need to be built in Silicon Valley, we have found a ready-made, Hughes Company, they are ready to give up the memory chip business, and turn to photovoltaic solar cells to develop, providing solar panels for satellites in the United States." “

When Alison reported to Ling Shizhe, Nien handed him a piece of information about Hughes Company, and Ling Shizhe looked at it, this Hughes company's chip production line belongs to a 10-micron production line, using BMOS process, which is a very early production process on semiconductors, but it is still a fairly advanced production process. The process designed by Ling Shizhe in Hong Kong belongs to CMOS process technology, which was made by Intel in the 80s, which is a highly automated flexible modular process production line, and this kind of production line Ling Shizhe also draws on some intelligent concepts that are only available in the 21st century, which can be said to be a magic version of CMOS technology.

This kind of production line is much higher than the BMOS process production line, the integration of the transistor is much higher, and the upgrading and transformation of the production line is much easier, and the whole production line is not overhauled, only the key places are modified and upgraded, so that the production difficulty and manufacturing cost are also much lower, and the reliability and production cost and maintenance cost have huge advantages compared with the BMOS process, and this process is used in the early 21st century before entering the nano era. As for what new production process was used after entering the nano era, it was actually based on the CMOP process, which laid a solid foundation for Intel to become the world's top semiconductor giant in the future. But his disadvantage is that the process is much more technically difficult and complex, and the investment in such a factory is more than 10 times that of the BMOS factory.

Although the process being designed in Hong Kong is very advanced, Ling Shizhe also gave them clear design ideas and general framework, but because it is too advanced, it is not possible to complete it in a short time, before the new process does not come out, it can only be temporarily replaced by BMOS, and after the CMOS process is completed, it will be eliminated, and even the equipment and factory construction cost of 1500W US dollars, in the eyes of Ling Shizhe, the reborn, is acceptable.

After thinking about it, Ling Shizhe said: "In addition to our company's interest in his equipment, is there any other company that is not?" ”

"No other company has contacted them yet, and the Hughes company just released the information a few days ago," Nien reported to Ling Shizhe: "After receiving the news, I immediately reported to Alison. ”

Alison nodded and said: "Yes, after receiving Nion's report, I immediately sent someone to understand this information, 1500w dollars including more than 300 skilled production workers to sell together, and his factory is in Montreal, Canada, this factory we commissioned a financial company to investigate, there are no problems, there are no debts, except for the price is a little higher, we can take over." ”

"How tall?"

"It's more than $150 high, boss," after hearing Alison's return, Ling Shizhe thought for a while and said, "Can you lower the price?" ”

Alison shook her head and said: "It's difficult, this factory has not been built for a long time, and I heard that the European STMicroelectronics company is interested in him, and it is estimated that it will not be long before someone will be sent to contact them. ”

Ling Shizhe thought about it and decided to calculate 1500, think about the republic of the future, you are all over the world with money, no one sells it to you, you want to be the head of the injustice has no chance, not to mention that now it is only 1500w dollars, this set of process equipment, the republic was only introduced in the mid-90s in the later world, it cost more than 800 million US dollars, it took him down, this is not immediately owned, after the factory was established, all production and process technology are in the hands of foreign parties, and the Chinese have no chance to intervene at all, It took a few years to the end of the century before the factory and process equipment were completely handed over to them.

A process that has been eliminated for nearly 20 years has been blackmailed by the West for so much money, it can't help but say that this is a sadness, but now Ling Shizhe has the opportunity to take him down, and with only a mere 1500w US dollars, he can completely own this factory, compared to the later republics, it is really much happier, and there is no need to worry about the difference in the price of 150w US dollars.

Later, Alison took this price, taking advantage of the fact that STMicroelectronics had not yet contacted Hughes, and completely took it down, so as not to have too many dreams at night, and Hughes sat on the ground to raise the price, and then it would be wax.

After Alison received Ling Shizhe's task, she immediately contacted FOMO Law Firm and Deloitte Finance, which has business dealings with Ambrera, to contact Hughes, and one week later, Hughes completed all the integrated circuit factories in Canada, and the entire cost was more than 3,300 US dollars. The reason why so much money will be spent is because the purchase and sale of the factory is not as simple as handing over the money and delivering the goods with one hand, in addition to the purchase price of 1500w US dollars, there are many legal and financial problems, as well as a series of complex things such as employee placement and equipment depreciation problems, this alone is more than 1800w US dollars, this is still the purchase and sale of the factory, if it involves the merger and acquisition of enterprises, then the money spent will be more.

For law firms and financial companies, involving the overall purchase and sale of the company and mergers and acquisitions between large enterprises, is their favorite thing, especially the latter, each enterprise is an independent economic kingdom, involving all aspects are simply a thousand things, from technology patents and employee benefits and placement issues in any way need a large-scale team of lawyers to participate, just a medium-sized enterprise mergers and acquisitions, a well-known law firm and financial company can earn tens of millions of dollars, It can be said that it is a common thing, if the merger and acquisition of the enterprise is large, it is not difficult to make hundreds of millions.

The factory is located in Montreal, Canada, the factory covers a large area, and there is a lot of greenery between the factories and the factories, just like entering the Central Park. This is also a characteristic of the North American factory, due to the vast and sparsely populated area, their factories are covering a large area, there are many places of vacant land, it is used to do greening, each plant has a large area of parking in front of the plant, the road between the plant and the plant is wide, in addition to the green space, the area of the entire factory is actually as large as 6 standard football fields.

That is, in North America, a factory like this, occupying such a large area, so much greenery, and building a central park-like style, is impossible in the Chinese factories of later generations; In addition, there is an office building, which also covers a vast area, the office building has a total of 7 floors, and the appearance of the building is actually paved with blue non-reflective plexiglass, which is like a water cube built in later generations, Ling Shizhe visually measured that this office building and the green belt it occupies are not smaller than the water cube in later generations.

Seeing such a large area, it only cost more than 1500w dollars, Alison and Nien were still complaining next to them that they had lost money to buy, and they could be cheaper, Ling Shizhe couldn't help but vomit when he heard it, if this land was placed in the future generations without hundreds of millions of dollars, it would not be able to take it down at all, and now 1500w dollars will be taken down, I have to sigh, now the Bretton Woods system has not disintegrated, and the current dollar is really a dollar! In addition to the land area of Canada is too vast, if the water area is not included only in terms of land area, it is second only to the Soviet Union, China, and the United States, ranking fourth in the world, and the population is now less than 3000w.

The location of the factory is relatively remote, there are almost more than 300 kilometers away from the city of Montreal, when Hughes company built a factory here, worried that no one would come to work, in addition to building a road from the factory to Montreal city, it also built a large area of senior staff garden villa community, after entering the community, only to see an independent garden villa, neatly arranged on both sides of the community road, the area of the villa is twice as large as the standard family villa in the United States, and it is actually a brick villa, It is not wooden, and the entire staff community is actually full of Tang style architecture.

The person in charge of the factory, Peelett, explained to Ling Shizhe: "The whole factory and the staff community were built in 1958, the factory was originally used by Hughes to produce electronic components, but after the factory was completed, Hughes did not receive many orders at all, the factory was seriously insufficient, and it has been in a state of loss, in 1967, the factory was changed to an integrated circuit factory, used to produce chips, the situation has improved, and it is difficult to make up for the shortfall, but the new CEO of Hughes does not know what to think." , decided to close the factory here, to end it, to make solar panels, think that it is more profitable, you are right to buy it, this factory has an annual output of 1000w chips, it can definitely meet your needs, the manufacturing cost is not high, the same as Silicon Valley, the cost of exporting freight is not high, it is very cheap, you buy it now, it is a wise choice. ”

Ling Shizhe asked, "How many workers in the factory are currently living in this community?" How do you see that it's cold? ”

"Including me, there are currently 323 workers in the factory, including cleaners, and their families, a total of 1,106 people, all living in this community," Pichett pointed to the rows of villas on both sides, and said: "When it was first built, there were more than a few people here, you must know that there are more than 1,600 villas in this community, but unfortunately after the factory was built, the efficiency has not been good, the factory has not been profitable, many workers have left, and most of the houses are empty. Now there are still people living in the remaining 323 villas, a house for a worker, and the company gave it. ”

"A worker's villa, are these villas yours? I mean the ownership of the house. Ling Shizhe listened to the Great Khan, this Hughes company is too rich, give a villa to the workers, how rich must it be, asked: "Also, why is the whole community and the garden in the factory full of Chinese Tang architectural style?"

"Ha~~Ha~~・, you must be surprised," Pitchet laughed.

Hearing Pitchett's story, Ling Shizhe knew that when Hughes Company built a factory here, it was originally used as a nuclear material processing plant, so a lot of villas were built here for workers, military officers, and scientists to live in, and the equipment in these houses and factories was originally centrifugal accelerators for processing uranium, but the factory had just been built and had not yet started, and it was stopped by the Canadian government and the U.S. federal government, and the newly installed centrifugal accelerator was removed from the factory before it was used. It was sent somewhere else.

The reason why the factory was set up here was because of the current Cold War relationship between the United States and the Soviet Union, when the United States coerced Canada to reach an agreement to let the Hughes Company secretly build a nuclear fuel processing plant here, the United States believed that the Soviets would never have imagined that the United States would build a nuclear fuel plant on the land of his ally Canada, so that this would be a secret factory that the Soviet Union did not know about in the future, and when the Third World War broke out, it would become a surprise army and receive unexpected effects.

It's a pity that the Soviets already knew everything they were doing, and when they just built it, the Soviets put the evidence on the desk of the Canadian Prime Minister, Canada was unwilling to do it at the beginning, and was coerced by the United States, and now that this incident happened, it naturally asked the U.S. government to shut down, and gave the United States great pressure on international diplomacy, and the United States had to ask Hughes to shut down the nuclear material plant that had just been built and had not yet been put into production. The workers and scientists were also moved.

And Hughes Company invested such money here, although the majority of it was from the US government, but they were not willing to let the money go down the drain, so they suggested to the US and Canadian governments that it be converted into an electronic parts factory to produce tubes and transistors, and as compensation, the US government gave this community and public area and the factory to Hughes Company.

But after the completion, there was no business at all, the factory has been in a state of loss, and later changed him to a chip factory, although the chip factory has good interests, and the losses of the early factory have been made up, but the factory has been established here twice before, and the Hughes company is complaining and abnormal, so when the new president of Hughes Company came to power, he decided to end the factory here, which gave Ling Shizhe the opportunity to take down the factory, although the factory was taken down, but it does not include the community, The community still belongs to Hughes Company, as for the houses where the workers live, it is assigned to the workers by the Hughes Company, and the property rights are still Hughes Company, after all, it is too remote here, if the workers are not assigned houses, no one will come here to work at all, and the rent and property management fees are not collected.

As for why the garden of the community building and the factory is full of Tang style, it is because the officer who managed the community and the factory is a fan of oriental architecture, and he admires the Tang style architecture in Nara, Japan, so there is this style.

There are a total of 1,600 villas and 6 large high-end single apartment buildings, as well as tennis courts, schools, churches, cinemas, shopping malls, golf courses, bowling alleys and other buildings, all of which were originally built for those officers, scientists and workers, and the whole is built according to a small town.

Now all but the houses where the 323 workers live, the school and some shopping malls are deserted, and Hughes does not spend money to maintain them, and the whole neighborhood looks desolate except for the beginning.

After the factory was bought, Hughes tried its best to sell this small-town community to Ling Shizhe, including a ranch covering an area of 30w acres next to it, this ranch was also built together, it was used to provide a ranch for the residents of the town, this ranch was entrusted by Hughes to a ranch company to manage, the benefits are average, and now it is planned to sell, but in this way, the price is expensive, just this farm is not a little bit of money can be taken down, Hughes company's bid price is 800 million US dollars, Pack up the community.

In this way, Ling Shizhe went to the factory community, Ling Shizhe turned all the community around, and then went to the ranch to take a turn, the ranch is beautiful, there is a river through the entire ranch, there is a lake covering an area of tens of thousands of acres in the middle of the pasture, Ling Shizhe looked at this huge lake like China's Qiandao Lake, there are many islands on it, in addition to this lake, there are many small lakes and small ponds in the whole pasture, the pasture is well maintained, the whole pasture connects the river with all the lakes in the pasture, The establishment of a full water conservancy irrigation system was originally built by the Canadian government, and because the prices of agricultural and animal husbandry products in North America have been low for a long time, the benefits can only be said to be average.

The ranch is mainly in the breeding of cattle and sheep, and there are also chicken farms, duck farms, goose farms, dairy farms, vegetable farms, as well as a large dairy farm, large milking centers and vast fruit groves, the equipment of the ranch is very advanced, and its degree has reached the initial automation. Li Li liked this place when she saw it, Ling Shizhe thought it was good, and wanted to have it, but unfortunately the price was too expensive, 800 million US dollars, and now that the company has taken over FOMO Law Firm, its debt is as high as 700 million US dollars, and it will spend 800 million US dollars to buy this ranch, so the company's financial pressure will be great.

Ling Shizhe couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he notified the third sister Ling Shishi. The third sister, Ling Shishi, manages an international agricultural products company in Hong Kong, and she is definitely no stranger to this thing, and it is best to find her.

After the third sister received a call from Ling Shizhe, she arrived in Canada on the third day, and she had not yet come to the jet lag, regardless of fatigue, she ran to the ranch, went around, and suggested that Ling Shizhe buy this ranch, this ranch is definitely not a loss, the packaged community, you can spend money to hire a professional property company to take care of it, this money can be paid from the profits of the ranch, first manage the place where someone lives in the community, and leave him alone for the time being in other places like Hughes Company, and wait for someone to move in after the management, He managed as many people as he could, and suggested that Ling Shizhe move the company in Canada from Toronto, and use the office building in the factory as the company's headquarters. And the products in the ranch can be handed over to the trading company she manages to act as an agent, and sell to Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia, making absolutely much more money than now.

Ling Shizhe listened to the third sister's suggestion, and said with a smile: "Third sister, since you are so optimistic about this ranch, why don't you take him down, all the money you earn will be your own, and you can just give me the packed community at that time." ”

"Seventh, I would like to, but this ranch costs 800 million US dollars, where do I have so much money, sister?"

"Third sister, do you see if this is the case, you suggest to my father, package the area you are responsible for in the group as a whole to find a bank loan, the insufficient part is borrowing a little from the family fund, and take down this ranch, there is a ranch sister, your agricultural and animal husbandry trading company is not a simple trading company, it will be much better to have its own production base. Third sister, look, how about my suggestion. ”

"Old Seven, it's useless," Ling Shishi shook her hand and said: "The total assets of the entire group are only about 5 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the one I am responsible for is less than 600 million Hong Kong dollars, and it is good to only be able to borrow 400 million Hong Kong dollars at most, and the family fund can only take out 600 million Hong Kong dollars at most, a total of 1 billion Hong Kong dollars. At present, it is 1 to 6.5, so many Hong Kong dollars will be exchanged for US dollars at once, which will definitely cause a sharp appreciation of the US dollar, and it will not be able to be described, and the 1 billion Hong Kong dollars will not be exchanged for 800 million US dollars. ”

Ling Shizhe knows that now the Hong Kong dollar is not like the future generations, the exchange rate is closely linked to the US dollar, and has been controlled at a little more than 1:8, and now it is an active exchange rate system, sometimes 1:5, sometimes 1:6, and now in order to exchange so many Hong Kong dollars for the US dollar in this ranch, it will definitely make the US dollar appreciate sharply, and then it will be lost, and it will not be able to exchange so much money, Ling Shizhe can't think of a good way for a while.
