Chapter 247: Great White Shark
"Principal Zhou, you're here so fast!" Tu Anbei looked at Zhou Shuo with some surprise, Xiucheng and the imperial capital are thousands of miles apart, and there is no plane, and it will take at least six hours to come over, how can there be a reason that he has made a phone call for more than an hour.
"Ha, I just happened to do something in the imperial capital." Zhou Shuo touched the sweat on his head and said with a smile: "From the corridor. Fang walked at high speed, very fast. ”
"Oh, I see." Tu Anbei just had a preconceived idea, thinking that Zhou Shuo was in Xiucheng. In the final analysis, Zhou Shuo is the boss, and of course there is no need to report to him for anything.
"Tu Lao, the general manager of Hong Kong Shanghua, did you say anything?" As soon as Zhou Shuo sat down, he couldn't wait to ask.
"Didn't say much, just wanted me to help him contact you." Tu Anbei shook his head, took out a piece of paper and handed it to him and said: "This is the information certificate left by that person, there are his passport, business license and legal person identity documents, it seems that there should be no problem in terms of identity." ”
Zhou Shuo flipped through the stack of copies in his hand, obviously the other party came prepared. Many of the documents issued are supporting documents that need to be specially applied, but they also confirm his identity as a legal person of Shanghua Company.
He put the finished document back on the table, tapped his fingers on the table and said, "Tu Lao, I have to trouble you to recall the process of meeting him." It's important that nothing is left out. ”
Tu Anbei's expression also became rare and serious, he lowered his head and recalled for a while, and then said slowly: "This Cavour looks polite on the surface, but in fact, I have a feeling that he is more like a shark. Usually hide under the surface of the water and camouflage, harmless to humans and animals. But they are always ready to choose people to eat. He was sitting across from me. Claiming to be the general manager of the Hong Kong Shanghua company......"
Zhou Shuo looked at the majestic man in front of him, and gradually overlapped his image with the appearance described by Tu Anbei. Cavour is a Hong Kong man. But Mandarin is very good. Unlike some Hong Kong people who are contaminated with the temperament of an island country, he is more like an American in his gestures, full of confidence.
"Mr. Zhou, right? I'm Cavour. I think Academician Tu has already shown you my identity certificate, and I am now the general manager of Hong Kong Shanghua Technology Company. ”
Like Zhou Shuo, Cavour was also looking at him. He shook his head slightly in his heart, judging from his previous experience of watching people, Cavour felt that Zhou Shuo might not be as famous as he met.
Zhou Shuo does not have any domineering feeling, which is different from the current mainstream crowd in domestic shopping malls. The shopping mall in the early years of the reopening was rough, how could it be mixed without the domineering spirit of the world? But Zhou Shuo's body is more of an easy-going feeling. To say that it seems to be more like a literati than like a businessman.
This made it a little difficult for Cavour to grasp, the literati were sometimes much more difficult to deal with than the merchants, and would always insist on something unreasonable.
"You may be seated, Mr. Cavour." Zhou Shuo pointed to the sofa opposite him, nodded slightly, and said, "Listening to the accent, you seem to have lived in the imperial capital for a short time?" ”
"For two or three years, I've traveled all over the world and lived in many places." Cavour smiled slightly smugly and said, "Please forgive me. It is more appropriate to work in the semiconductor industry with an international background like me. Whether it is the introduction of technology or the solution of sales, foreign capital is the best choice for mainland wafer fabs, Mr. Zhou, what do you think? ”
Cavour decided to get straight to the point, rather than slowly getting into the subject as normal business negotiations do. His self-confidence comes from the strong strength of the Kang family. Don't look at the Kang family is not as famous as Li Ka-shing, but the three Kang brothers are also one of the best families on the island. Its industries involve real estate, hotels, logistics, telecommunications and many other industries. If it weren't for this, it would be impossible for China Resources, which was to be suppressed, to let go of China.
Cavour is an outstanding son of the third generation of the Kang family. Since childhood, I have been exposed to many big names. Zhou Shuo, a mainland nouveau riche, really didn't put it in his eyes.
Zhou Shuo glanced up at him. Then he bowed his head and poured him a cup of tea from the teapot, pushed it in front of him and said, "I thought that Mr. Cavour should know the mainland well. However, I didn't expect your perception of the mainland to still be superficial. ”
"It's like drinking tea, the initial taste is bland, but the aftertaste is long. If you want to judge the quality of tea, it is not enough to look at the appearance and color, but also to taste it carefully. He looked into Cavour's eyes and said meaningfully: "Although Mr. Cavour looks like a Chinese, he does not understand the determination of the Chinese. In the mainland, you only see economic development and the introduction of technology, but you ignore our insistence on self-reliance. The semiconductor industry will always have to work for others by importing it, and we will never allow this situation to continue. ”
"Well, I'm a British-Hong Konger, and I'm not interested in what the Chinese think." Cavour waved his hand and said, "As long as China's policy of attracting investment remains unchanged, Mr. Zhou should know that foreign investors always have an advantage in investment." ”
He glanced at Zhou Shuo obliquely, and said with something in his words: "And the influence of our Kang family in Hong Kong, even the mainland has to be polite for three points." At the policy level, doesn't Mr. Zhou understand that you lost from the beginning? ”
"In general, you're right." Zhou Shuo nodded and said, "If you are willing to invest in a few advanced techniques, even if it is a foreign-funded enterprise, you will still feel that the meat is rotten in the pot." Exchanging the market for technology is indeed a mature route. But—"
"I don't think Mr. Zhou has figured out the situation yet!" Cavour interrupted Zhou Shuo's words and said: "This is not a 'general situation', but the amount of technical support that the 908 Project can get at present is all concentrated in the hands of Shanghua Technology. Without Shanghua Technology, Huajing would not have been able to complete the 908 project independently. ”
This is the real reason why Cavour has no fear, as the semiconductor industry, as the most cutting-edge technology industry, itself has limited human resources. In order to support the 908 Project, China Resources has indeed tried its best to search for talents that can be found. The 908 Project itself is a project with backward technology and weak funds, and it is even more difficult to find talents. I finally built a team, and almost all the possibilities were found.
If you change to another team, it's not just a change. Japanese machines, American machines, or Dutch machines, it is very rare for each team to be familiar with a system. Where are there so many options for the 908 project, and a lot of equipment is put together. Therefore, Shanghua Technology Company is also difficult to recruit talents. If you change to a team in another country, you will have to change the equipment with you. In terms of cost, satellites will have to be put immediately.
With such a team in hand, Cavour dared to covet Huajing. As long as these talents are put into it, Huajing's six-inch production line can be started and profitable.
"Mr. Cavour is too confident, isn't he?" Zhou Shuo raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "Don't forget that it is also a six-inch production line, Shougang NEC has completed the preparation of the previous process and can be put into production at any time." Not only Hong Kong can provide these talents, Japan, Taiwan, the United States and even ourselves, as long as we have money, we are not unable to meet the talent demand for the six-inch production line. ”
"Even if you're going to invest more than $100 million because of it?" Cavour sneered: "With the current progress of the 908 Project, it is impossible to replace Japanese or American technicians without 100 million dollars." I know that the Panhan Group has a monocrystalline silicon production plant in Bohai Province, but even if the sales are fine, the profit is 30 million US dollars a year. ”
Zhou Shuo sighed, shook his head helplessly and said, "So it's rude to interrupt others, and Mr. Cavour probably doesn't know enough about me." Otherwise, you should know what I mean. ”
He spread his hands, looked at Cavor and said: "For a person who owns 20 percent of Netscape, 5 percent of Microsoft's shares, and a joint venture with the three American Internet giants to establish a chip manufacturing enterprise, let alone 100 million US dollars, I can also take 1 billion US dollars." ”
Cavour looked at him in disbelief, he really didn't know much about Zhou Shuo. After all, Xiucheng is at most a third-tier city in China, what amazing characters can come out of it? Even if Zhou Shuo realized the production technology of China's first 200mm monocrystalline silicon ingot, he attributed the credit to the technical accumulation of Huaguang Factory and the copycat of Japanese goods. In any case, I could never have imagined that the guy who made waves in the American Internet market would hide in such a small place.
It's like going fishing in a mountain stream and only to catch a great white shark......
"You're the legendary Chinese Joey?" Cavour stood up in shock and looked Zhou Shuo up and down.
Zhou Shuo took out his mobile phone and asked, "Do you want to see me call Anderson or Bill?" Oh yes. But I'm afraid you don't know if it's them on the other side of the road when I call me, right? ”
Cavour's face flushed with anger from Zhou Shuo's contemptuous smile, the Kang family's big business may not be able to make up tens or tens of billions of dollars, but of course these resources cannot be concentrated on him. The resources that can be used for Shanghua Technology Company are only $200 million at most. Compared with the huge resources that can be mobilized behind Zhou Shuo, his previous words are inevitably a little ridiculous when he thinks about it now.
Whether it was connections, skills, or foreign capital, Cavour suddenly felt that the two people who could be at eye level suddenly needed to look up to see Zhou Shuo's face clearly.
"So, Mr. Zhou will never give up the 908 project?" Cafu asked, grimacing.
"Mr. Cavour, why can't you take away the black hand that reached out to Project 908?" Zhou Shuo asked rhetorically. (To be continued......)
