Chapter 331: Texas Instruments' Wafer Project

In this way, Jester's mention yì has been supported by everyone, and the new console of Mars Entertainment has also been confirmed to be named Dreambox2, representing the second generation of the Dreambox series of consoles, and for anyone, this name can clearly show the kinship of this game console.

"Here's all about Pokemon."

After Jester finished speaking, his eyes shifted to the Foreign Affairs Liaison Group, and he asked not about the release of the Pokemon game, but about the cartoon of the game, and he approached Mikage and KyoAni to co-produce Zuò.

The Foreign Affairs Liaison Department did not dare to slack off, and said directly and simply: "We contacted ABC, and they said that from next week, they will broadcast our cartoon on 20 children's TV stations under their TV network, if the effect is good, they can guarantee that it will be broadcast on the whole network, and on the Japanese side, President Yuxiu just came to the news today, Fuji TV agreed to our broadcast request, and they have seen the sample, After hearing about our plans to promote the game in the run-up to Christmas, they said that they would buy the first release rights to our anime at the highest price for the newcomer, but they would guarantee that they wouldn't be able to give it to their TV stations in Japan until they finished broadcasting. ”

"Reasonable."

Fuji TV's request is very reasonable, judging from the attitude and tone of the other party, it is obvious that the other party is extremely optimistic about this game, so Jester agreed without hesitation.

However, ABC also depends on the requirements of ratings......

Jester furrowed an eyebrow.

Seeing Jester's hesitant expression, the Foreign Affairs Liaison Department obviously had some understanding of what it was for, and he hurriedly said ABC's explanation: "Boss, ABC, it's not that they don't look down on us. It's because the style of this cartoon really doesn't suit the aesthetics of American audiences, who are worried about what will happen, but only for this cartoon. They are recognized, otherwise. They won't just give 20 children's TV stations in one go. ”

Hearing the explanation of his subordinates, Jester could only nod helplessly, even if he was dissatisfied, it was impossible for him to let ABC directly give him a full-network simulcast, and the other party's worries were also very reasonable, the style of "Pokemon" was too unAmerican.

Jester even had the idea of buying a television network directly. Now that he has acquired the television network, he will definitely guarantee the income in the future, but when he thinks of the backers behind the five major television networks, and the US government's examination of the qualifications of the people who buy the television networks, he feels that this can only be whimsical, and this is only a temporary idea, he has no interest in running a huge television network, this kind of huge, bloated structure. A group of tens of thousands of people at every turn is not what he likes.

It's like he took a stake in Samsung, not that he had anything wrong with Samsung. But the rise of Samsung in the future has become inevitable, according to the original historical trajectory, Samsung will inevitably become a veritable world's top giant, I just want to take advantage of the current cheap.

Thinking of Samsung, Jester remembered the mention he gave to the other party before Lee Kun-hee returned to South Korea last time.

It is to shift the attention of Samsung Electronics to LCD screens and mobile phones, which are now the two most promising consumer electronics products from materials to commodities.

Moreover, the current new mobile phones, the world's major communication companies are almost the same, and now Samsung is entering. It's not too late, four years later. When this new type of signal communication mobile phone began to be popularized on a large scale, Samsung could already come up with a very mature model. At that time, Samsung began to rise officially.

As for the LCD, when Jester said this, he could clearly see the other party's excitement for him from Lee Kun-hee's eyes.

Moreover, Li Jianxi's later words also proved this, and he was able to analyze the other party's eyes well.

"I'm really interested in liquid crystal technology." Li Jianxi also smiled bitterly, and then said helplessly, "The current liquid crystal technology, the top is basically in the hands of Japan, needless to say that the top liquid crystal technology in Japan is now, even if it is inferior, they can't give it to us." ”

As he spoke, Li Jianxi cursed fiercely: "Damn the theory of goose walking." ”

And Jester just didn't look at it, watching Lee Kun-hee whining.

Li Jianxi didn't care, he cursed a few words, then calmed down, and continued: "They can give us only their third-generation LCD screen manufacturing technology, this is the first generation of technology, the yield is very low, and this kind of LCD screen basically can't make much money - that's it, we Samsung can do this day, and we all know that no matter what technology, we need to slowly go up the research, one bite can't make a fat man, but their price, it's really ......"

Jester knows that the Japanese companies are domineering and rude in this era, and in this regard, he has no choice, he can only open his mouth to comfort Li Kunxi: "No matter what price the other party wants, we will agree, as long as we can bite each other tightly, don't let the other party's technology surpass us too high, in the future, we will still be able to complete the counterattack and overtake, there will be a chance." ”

These words made Li Kunxi's eyes widen, he looked at Jester in disbelief, he didn't understand why Jester would say so surely, the reason why he hadn't made up his mind until now was because as long as the Japanese didn't make mistakes, then he could only eat ashes behind the Japanese forever in terms of the LCD screen.

Want Japanese people to make mistakes?

That's impossible, the competition between the Japanese themselves is fierce, and the research direction of Sony Panasonic Sharp is not all the way, no matter which way fails, there will always be a success.

Jester can't say anything about the financial turmoil in '97, because it was because of this financial turmoil that Japanese electronics companies were forced to sell their best production lines directly in order to protect themselves, otherwise, how could Samsung have the opportunity to take advantage of the rapid rise of the financial turmoil in '97, and Japanese companies would not have plummeted since then.

So, Jester just smiled mysteriously.

"Brother Li, it's man-made."

"It's man-made." Li Jianxi chewed the four words that Jester said carefully, and slowly, his determination gradually became firmer, Jester said a lot, things are man-made, he has the determination to rise with Samsung, but he also needs God's favor, do it as much as he can, if God really favors him, he will naturally get him a chance, if he doesn't care, then he won't get worse.

At least now the technology that the Japanese want to sell them is already difficult for them to develop.

As long as you enter that door, how much you can achieve after that depends on your own efforts and creation, and after thinking about it for a long time, Lee Kun-hee finally made a decision.

These memories flashed through Jester's mind, and he forgot to ask him about this matter when he was on the phone with Lee Kun-hee before, after all, this is the key to Samsung's success in the future, and Jester also recently heard that several silicon wafer factories of Texas Instruments seem to want to move to Asia, and the first choice is Bend, and the person to contact is Wang Yongqing of Formosa Plastics, a powerful figure in the business world, but as far as Jester knows, Wang Yongqing doesn't seem to know much about this matter, and now Wang Yongqing is bent on taking the six light projects from the crooked government.

However, TSMC's Zhang Zhongmou is very interested, and he is looking for acquaintances to contact Texas Instruments and want to cooperate with Texas Instruments.

Samsung naturally has its own wafer factory, but their wafer factory is far inferior to Texas Instruments, and Jester also knows the importance of wafers, which is almost the foundation of electronic technology, so after he heard about this matter, he was also very interested, and he also asked someone to inquire about Texas Instruments, and Texas Instruments said that it was true.

Even Jester misunderstood Texas Instruments, thinking that Jester, a wealthy man, wanted to make wafers, and even sent a CEO-level person to meet Jester in person.

However, after Jester explained that this was just a misunderstanding, Texas Instruments said that their initial plan was to transfer their wafer fabs to Asia, and then build one of the world's most advanced wafer processing plants.

It would have been nice to say that it was during the honeymoon period before, but now with the reform of the Soviet Union, although China and the United States still have good relations on the surface, they are far less harmonious than they were a few years ago.

"And what about South Korea?"

In the face of Jester's question, Texas Instruments did not hesitate at all, they nodded very seriously, indicating that South Korea's is completely okay, and then Jester pleaded with Texas Instruments in a private capacity, he hopes that you will not reach an agreement with TSMC first, because in South Korea, there is a person who is far beyond TSMC and is also very interested in wafer production.

Texas Instruments also knew that Jester was the executive director of Samsung, so it was natural to associate it with Samsung.

There is no doubt that compared with TSMC, obviously, Samsung is a partner they are more comfortable with, so Texas Instruments also agreed to Jester's request. (To be continued)
