Chapter 1317: Him?
Chen Wenqi's expression was very formal, and Wang Xuehong's expression became serious, and she said: "I know, dear, Via is the child of the two of us, and we have poured countless efforts into him, believe me, I love Via no less than you." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Chen Wenqi was immediately ashamed!
He patronized himself, but forgot that without his wife's consistent help and support over the years, would Via have been able to get to where he is today? Chen Wenqi knows very well that it is absolutely impossible! There is a possibility that his words will hurt his wife's heart.
Ashamed, he immediately apologized to Wang Xuehong: "My dear, I'm sorry, I was too ...... just now"
"Do we still need to say sorry between us," Wang Xuehong smiled faintly, blocked Chen Wenqi's lips, and chuckled: "Although we need to introduce a partner to help us share the pressure, we also have requirements for this partner, first of all, it can't be a speculator who wants to take a handful of money and leave, this is our trouble." ”
Chen Wenqi nodded immediately: He also thinks so, speculators or something are the most troublesome.
"Secondly, it can't be Japanese and Koreans, and certainly not Americans; In the end, they have to dare to stand with us and fight this war with Inter and AMD...... Perhaps this war will be going on for another ten or twenty years. Wang Xuehong's tone was very flat, but it sounded extremely tragic!
The patent lawsuit between VIA and Inter has been going on for 4 years, and there is still no hope of a conclusion in sight, and with INTER's abundant funds and financial resources, VIA has no hope of ending this lawsuit at all.
Those who can invest in VIA must have some understanding of the chip industry, but it is impossible to understand the processor industry without knowing what level of monsters Inter and AMD are, in this case, if there are still people who dare to stand with VIA and finally be strong. That's really a miracle, at least, UMC and TSMC don't dare at this moment.
It is precisely because I know that such a partner is basically impossible to find. Chen Wenqi didn't like to brush off his wife's kindness, and tried his best to squeeze out a smile. said: "My dear, I may not be able to take care of my energy, so this matter will be left to you...... Well, what do you think we can do with a maximum of 20% of the shares? ”
Wang Xuehong thought for a while and said, "Is 20% a little less, what do you think of 25%?" ”
“…… That's fine, that's 25%. After a deep groan, Chen Wenqi nodded slightly. To be able to exchange 25% of the shares for a strategic partner who can really stand with VIA, Chen Wenqi believes that the price is still worth it.
……………………
The first person Wang Xuehong looked for was via's strategic partner in business, Mr. Zhang Zhongmou, chairman of TSMC, all the chips of VIA were OEM by TSMC, and the relationship between the two companies was quite good, Zhang Zhongmou and Chen Wenqi and Wang Xuehong were extremely good friends, but when they heard what Wang Xuehong meant, Zhang Zhongmou's head shook like a rattle: "Xuehong, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's really that if I stand with you, TSMC will be in trouble." I'm sorry. ”
Although this is what was already expected. But Wang Xuehong's face couldn't help showing disappointment, and she smiled reluctantly: "It's right for me to say I'm sorry, I'm sorry for causing you trouble." ”
"Don't say that. I can't help you, I'm also sorry," Zhang Zhongmou said, he said sincerely, he and Chen Wenqi and his wife have been old friends for many years, and now seeing that the life of his old friend is so difficult, he feels uncomfortable, if he can help, it will definitely really help: "In this way, the others are not easy to say." But if you are short of money, you can open your mouth, and you dare not say more. Two or three hundred million dollars can still be scraped together for you. ”
"Thank you, Brother Zhang." Wang Xuehong nodded gratefully, although the current VIA is under some pressure on funds. But in fact, the pressure is not very great, but Zhang Zhongmou can say that he can take out hundreds of millions of dollars to help himself, and this favor is indeed not small. However, after hesitating, Wang Xuehong still said: "That...... Brother Zhang, I don't know if you have a suitable candidate? Can you recommend one for us? ”
"The right person?" Zhang Zhongmou pondered for a moment and asked, "Did you ask UMC?" ”
UMC and TSMC are the two largest chip foundries on the island, although VIA and TSMC are closer, but some businesses are still on UMC's side, and the relationship between VIA and UMC is also very good. Wang Xuehong nodded, and shook her head again: "I asked, UMC also has some concerns." ”
"That's really troublesome, you're fighting against Inter, AMD and the United States......" Zhang Zhongmou smiled bitterly, silently took out a cigarette and lit it, thinking bitterly.
Looking at Zhang Zhongmou's frowning appearance, although he knew that there was little hope, Wang Xuehong's heart was involuntarily raised: Could it be that Brother Zhang can really have a way?
After pondering for a long time, Zhang Zhongmou finally opened his mouth slowly: "I thought of someone, but I'm afraid it's not ...... difficult."
"Really?" Wang Xuehong, who was almost hopeless, and was completely holding a kind of "grasping the life-saving straw in the water", heard Zhang Zhongmou's words, her eyes suddenly brightened, and her voice trembled: "Brother Zhang, you're not joking with me, are you?" That's Inter and AMD! That's America! ”
Zhang Zhongmou's answer was completely unexpected by Wang Xuehong, the island has lived in the shadow of the Americans for many years, they deeply feel the strength of the overlord of the earth, in her opinion, there is no one on this planet who dares to challenge the United States, in view of the existence of people who challenge the inter company that represents the interests of the United States, the reason why she proposed to her husband to find a strategic partner before, in addition to holding a tragic mentality, in fact, she hopes to help her husband relax his mind, but now, An old friend of his husband and wife for many years, a giant in the field of chip foundry, actually told himself that such a person really exists in this world?
For a moment, Wang Xuehong felt that this guy was not a crazy monster hunter with a subtle painting style.
"I don't know if they dare to go against Inter, but I do know that they declared war on Motorola, and they made Motorola extremely embarrassed. Galvin had to resign in disgrace. Speaking of this person, Zhang Zhongmou's eyes couldn't help but flash a look of admiration and amazement: he couldn't imagine that this was what the guy who secretly did business with him a few years ago in the second-hand chip production line business could do.
"Declaring war on Motorola?" Wang Xuehong shuddered, Motorola's business is not only a mobile phone, but also a chip giant, in the early 80s, its position in the industry was even more powerful than inter, even now, although Motorola's influence in the industry can not be compared with inter, but it is still one of the few semiconductor giants in the world, and someone can compete with Motorola, and force their chairman and CEO to resign? This guy is too powerful, isn't he?
It's a pity that before the thought of "I want to meet this guy" popped up in her heart, Wang Xuehong's face suddenly changed, she stretched out her finger and said softly: "What you said ...... The one opposite? ”
Zhang Zhongmou smiled bitterly and nodded: "Who else can it be besides the guy opposite?" ”
"However, it's too difficult...... Wang Xuehong said with a wry smile.
She didn't think about it for a while, but at this moment, her memory recovered, and Wang Xuehong immediately remembered who Zhang Zhongmou said was the guy who forced the chairman and CEO of Motorola to resign.
Although I'm not sure whether Lin Zheng dares to go against Inter, but thinking about it, since he dared to announce the acquisition of Motorola and Motorola is so disgraced, he can be regarded as the only guy who is likely to work against Inter and AMD, but another question immediately surfaced: Lin Zheng and Lianchuang Technology are a mainland enterprise, and the greens are in power on the island, and cross-strait relations are outrageously tense. The president's "The one in the seat is like being dug up by Brother Zhang's ancestral grave, if VIA dares to absorb his investment...... Let's not talk about whether Mr. Lin dared to do this...... The one sitting in the "presidential" seat must not have a complete convulsion?
Because of this, there is no need to even consider the ideological issues of the two sides of the strait, nor do we need to consider what kind of radical reaction the greens on the island will have if it is spread out that the shareholders of the mainland are going to be introduced.
Yes, it is also for this reason that when thinking about the scope of choice of strategic partners, Wang Xuehong instinctively excluded the entrepreneurs on the other side, and did not take them into account at all.
"It's really difficult," Zhang Zhongmou nodded, he didn't deny it, and he couldn't deny it: "But I also know that this is probably the only partner you can find." ”
"......" Wang Xuehong nodded with a wry smile, she had to agree with Zhang Zhongmou's words, indeed, now it seems that Mr. Lin is indeed the only partner that VIA can find, he is rich, and he is not afraid of the Americans, but if VIA wants to cooperate with him, it is estimated that the degree of difficulty is not much easier than fighting against Inter and AMD...... Maybe it's a little easier.
But no matter what, although it is a headache to have difficulties, it is better than not even seeing hope, difficulties can always be thought of, Wang Xuehong bowed slightly to Zhang Zhongmou, and said politely: "Brother Zhang, thank you." (To be continued)
