Chapter 332: Wafer Fab

H2> Are you interested in Texas Instruments' wafer fab Lee Kun-hee?

Jester is estimated to be interested, because he knows the inner thoughts of the current Lee Kun-hee, and he now wants to make the rise of Samsung as much as he wants, and obtaining the world's most advanced wafer factory production line is very helpful for him to enhance the competitiveness of Samsung Electronics.

Moreover, according to the construction of Samsung Group by Lee Kun-hee in later generations, Jester found that although Samsung hates Japan, their business philosophy is very similar to that of Japanese companies, that is, they are open to death, but they are actually closed.

Nowadays, many people criticize Japanese companies for their own system, self-contained, and almost closed to the outside world, but then Samsung is not like this, a commodity, from raw materials to finished products, all the processes in this production process, all the accessories needed, Samsung can actually complete it by itself.

How narrow is this in the world business landscape that has already had an integrated mindset in the future? You know, even the Americans and the European man-made large passenger planes still purchase parts from all over the world and then assemble them, so as to improve work efficiency as much as possible and reduce production costs.

This is also the reason why, in later generations, Samsung's family has a big business, but the profit is not very high, that is, because there are too many things, and the profits that should have been shared as a whole have been shared.

But that's for the future, and Jester doesn't need to worry about it now.

Moreover, the reason why Samsung will be able to have such a high status in South Korea in the future, and Lee Kun-hee is even more respected by the do-gooders, is not it precisely the influence of Samsung Tongguò that is all over the world and omnipresent, and forcibly kidnapped the whole of South Korea economically?

The current Samsung, or Lee Kun-hee, should still not have this kind of courage, although in South Korea now, Samsung is indeed a first-class consortium, and the implication is more wealthy and powerful than Samsung, it is not nothing, maybe the current Lee Kun-hee just wants to make Samsung the largest consortium in South Korea.

One of the things that kidnap the South Korean economy and become the shadow president of South Korea, in the present, this is a complete joke, you know, the current South Korea is not the later South Korea, and the current South Korea is still a veritable ** country.

After the meeting ended, Jester immediately contacted Lee Kun-hee, as for the daughter that Lee Kun-hee entrusted to him to take care of on his behalf, Lee Kun-hee could only find someone to accompany him first, and he really couldn't get out of it now.

Although it was late at night in South Korea, Jester's phone had just been dialed, and in the United States, a few seconds later, the voice on that side came, and Jester listened to the voice, it seemed that the other party was still a little tired, it should be because he hadn't slept yet.

Lee Kun-hee's voice was a little hoarse, he had just heard the director of the amusement park project report to him today, and his daughter had to stay with Jester, so he said in a joking tone: "It's not my daughter who caused you trouble, you came to call me to complain, right?" ”

Of course, Jester or Lee Kun-hee both know that this sentence is just a joke, let's not say whether there is one, even if there is, according to Jester's personality, he will not make a transatlantic phone call to Lee Kun-hee in the middle of the night to complain about the other party's daughter, so how annoying is his woman?

"It's not."

Jester was also amused by Lee Kun-hee's words, he first denied it, and then brewed his own language before he began to say: "It's about several world-class fabs." ”

"Fab?"

Hearing Jester's words, Li Kunxi didn't react for a while, he wondered why Jester suddenly said the problem of the wafer factory, could it be that Jester wanted to enter this industry, but this idea was instantly vetoed by himself when it was just generated, his Samsung Electronics has a wafer factory, but it is precisely because of the wafer factory that he knows that it is not a smart move to rush to join this industry, and Jester is the kind of person who belongs to the top of time in the eyes of Li Kunxi. There was no way he could have done such a thankless task at first.

"Yes, the wafer factory, but it's not that I plan to do it, but ......" Sure enough, as soon as Jester opened his next sentence, he confirmed Li Jianxi's inner guess, and then continued, "It's Texas Instruments, they plan to relocate several large wafer factories in the United States to Asia, and they are looking for partners, they have contacted Wang Yongqing, but this one from Formosa Plastics is now busy with Liuqing, how can he have time to do what wafer factory, and I heard that there are still people who are interested in this project, And I remember that you didn't complain about the backwardness of your wafer fab before? So I contacted Texas Instruments, and when they heard that you were interested, they were very excited and wanted me to check with you again. ”

"Texas Instruments' fab?"

Maybe it was late at night in South Korea, Lee Kun-hee's head was still a little drowsy, and he didn't understand what Jester said for a while, and after he followed Jester's original words and repeated them, he couldn't sit still anymore, he stood up directly, and then asked in an incredible tone: "Is it Texas Instruments?" ”

"Of course, I talked to their supposed CEO about it."

Jester said in an affirmative tone, this answer made Li Jianxi even more interested, he rubbed his palms a little unconsciously, and then said in an extremely eager tone: "Can you be sure which of their fabs are they?" ”

"Wait a minute."

Jester said this first, the other party talked about it when he talked to the people of Texas Instruments before, but he was not familiar with the aspect after all, he didn't remember, but fortunately, the other party also left a copy of the article about this matter at that time, Jester casually rummaged through it, then pulled out a stack of not too thick Wen Jiàn, looked through it and quickly browsed the side, and then said to Li Jianxi: "It's four, and one is in Louis......"

Hearing Jester's answer, there was no voice from Li Jianxi's end for a long time, obviously, he was also looking for something Wen Jiàn, or looking for someone in charge of this area, until ten minutes later, Li Jianxi's voice came back on the other end of the phone, although he could still hear the tiredness in the voice that could not be concealed, but this time the tone had obviously become extremely excited.

"Jace, I just checked the article about this, these fabs are very important to us Samsung Electronics, although this is not the most advanced wafer fab of Texas Instruments, but, for us, it is still very advanced, the most important thing is that I have seen a report before, which seems to have mentioned that Texas Instruments seems to be planning to stop their wafer fab production line, including the most advanced ones, this time, I think, they may be testing the waters."

"Are you sure you want to take these four fabs at Texas Instruments?" Although he had already heard this meaning from Li Jianxi's words, Jester still confirmed out loud that this matter could not be sloppy, if he didn't ask clearly, then in the future, in addition to jokes, he would cough himself in shame.

"Of course."

Lee Kun-hee said in an extremely eager tone, and even, of course, two words could not express his mood at this time, and he continued unsatisfactorily: "If it weren't for the fact that I can't do without playing now, I really want to ...... No, this matter is so important that it is almost related to the future of our Samsung, and I will go to the United States again this time no matter what. ”

Jester didn't persuade him, because of this matter, Li Jianxi didn't come by himself, and he couldn't show his attention, and in terms of Texas Instruments, they would also be satisfied when they saw the current head of Samsung come to discuss this matter in person, which shows that Samsung attaches great importance to them, besides, although he himself is the second largest shareholder of Samsung, it is impossible for him to do these things for Samsung, because he does not hold any position in Samsung except for being a nominal executive director.

"When is it? I'd like to get back to Texas Instruments and get them ready. Jester neatly and directly asked when Lee Kun-hee had come to the United States.

Hearing Jester's question, Lee Kun-hee should have fallen into thought, after all, going to the United States to talk about such an important matter is not a day or two, it may take at least a week, or even more than half a month, and now that he is in the midst of reform, he must make all the arrangements.

After waiting for three or five minutes, Lee Kun-hee seemed to have figured it out, and he said to Jester: "Three days! I will leave for the United States in three days, and because my own time is very tight, I would like you to briefly say to Texas Instruments on my behalf that I am personally very interested in your wafer fab, and I can also show my sincerity in person, but because of internal reasons in the company, I cannot leave for too long, and I personally and for a strong personal will, I very much want to negotiate this matter in a short time. ”

"No problem." Jester naturally has no opinion on this, and as far as he met with Texas Instruments, you can also see the other party's attitude from the other party's words, Texas Instruments does not want to sell at a price, because there is nothing to sell, there are many people who want a wafer factory, but there are few conditions, so far, the capable and urgent may be TSMC plus Samsung.

Therefore, they are also very eager to find a reliable person to take over, compared to TSMC, it is naturally Samsung, which is more worthy of their trust. R1152
