Chapter 174: Vertical and Horizontal
South Goryeo.
Among the mansions of the Sanxin Li family.
Lee Jae-yong, who hurried back, solemnly reported to his father Lee Kun-hee the results of the negotiations in Shanmei.
ββ¦β¦ Father, the ambition of the Chinese people is not small. β
Li Jianxi squinted and nodded, of course he knew that the other party was ambitious.
If you push them to lift the security protocol, you are cutting off the security threat; Then they want to reserve Huayuan, which is an attempt to challenge the hegemony of the American sword.
"It's good that the other side is ambitious, so that we can drive the wolf and gobble up the tiger and maintain balance."
Lee Kun-hee understands very well that this is a tightrope walk, and if he is not careful, it may be an abyss, but they have no other choice.
"Father, I don't think we should be alone." Lee Jae-yong raised his glasses and reminded.
Hearing his son's words, Li Jianxi was stunned, and then showed a relieved smile: "In Rong, tell me what you think." β
"In Northeast Asia, it's not our family that has been affected, and the other two families are having a hard time right now."
As for who those two are, it is naturally Dongying and Dayuan's side, Dongying's semiconductors, electrical appliances, automobiles, and Dayuan's semiconductors, all of which are crumbling to the ground.
Lee Jae-yong continued: "We can form a semiconductor alliance with Dongying and Dayuan, increase our bargaining chips, and form a three-legged situation of Wei, Shu and Wu. β
"In Rong, your idea is very good, we really can't fight alone, the domestic affairs will be handed over to the father, and the affairs of Dongying and the elders will be given to you." Lee Kun-hee stood up, patted his son on the shoulder, and continued:
"For my father, after this incident, Sanxin's future will depend on you."
"Yes, Father!" Lee Jae-yong suppressed the excitement in his heart.
The father and son immediately went their separate ways, Lee Kun-hee and the other three chaebols were in frequent contact, and Lee Jae-yong immediately flew to Dayuan Island. γδΈ^ε «Chinese γ€~(8)~1~ΟΟΟ.7\8z*Γ²ΠΌ
The reason why Dayuan Island was chosen is that Dayuan's semiconductor industry is a single seedling, unlike Dongying and other pillar industries, and it will be less difficult to convince.
After getting off the plane from Taoyuan International Airport, Li Zaiyong went straight to the Hsinchu Science Industrial Park, where TSMC is located, which is also the semiconductor industry center in Dayuan Province, and semiconductor companies such as MediaTek, VIS Dynamics, Powerchip and UMC are also here.
In addition, companies such as Qualcomm, Apple, Intel, and Nvidia also have branches or offices in Hsinchu Science Industrial Park.
Although the scale of the domestic semiconductor industry has become the strongest in the world, accounting for 34% of the world's semiconductor industry.
However, the size of the group is still about 7.14%, 5.2% in Goryeo, and 5.7% in Dongying.
It can be seen that East Asia has become the core area of the world's semiconductors, accounting for 52.04% of the world's semiconductor industry.
This is still the case of internal friction in East Asia, if East Asia forms a real semiconductor industry alliance, the consequence is that the industrial share will be further increased.
TSMC headquarters.
Sanxin's office in Hsinchu Science Industrial Park has made an appointment with TSMC President Zhang Zhongmou in advance.
"Mr. Zhang, it's a great honor to meet you."
"Vice President Li, please be seated."
The two of them didn't say anything in a hurry, but drank tea and chatted about homely things, as if the sky was falling outside, and they could be breezy.
In the end, it was Lee Jae-yong who made a statement first, only to see him wave his hand and signal the entourage to go out.
Zhang Zhongmou also gave the assistant a look, and the assistant immediately understood and hurriedly withdrew.
There were only four people left in the office.
"Vice President Li, just say what you have to say!"
"Then I'll get straight to the point." Lee Jae-yong paused, raised his glasses and said solemnly, "We need to cooperate." β
"Cooperation, does Sanxin still need OEM," Zhang Zhongmou asked in surprise.
Lee Jae-yong shook his head and immediately explained the matter of the semiconductor industry alliance.
"You're playing with fire and setting yourself on fire."
"We're saving ourselves."
The two looked at each other without giving in, and Zhang Zhongmou saw firmness and absoluteness in each other's eyes.
Thinking of Sanxin and Hynix's actions before, combined with Lee Jae-yong's words just now, he had already guessed that the other party might already be acting.
The white-haired Zhang Zhongmou hesitated for a while, although TSMC has Western capital, the board of directors is still firmly controlled by Zhang Zhongmou and other locals.
Moreover, TSMC also holds 4.54% of SMIC's shares, and it is not impossible to change the court.
"Sanxin can live, but TSMC is not." Lee Jae-yong reminded.
Although this sentence made Zhang Zhongmou very uncomfortable, Lee Jae-yong was right, as the mainland semiconductor industry continues to soar, their living space has been squeezed.
You must know that TSMC could occupy 55% of the world's chip foundry capacity in 2012, but it has now dropped to less than 29%, directly cutting more than half.
If you don't think about how to save yourself, the consequences will be a dead end.
"Do you really have this determination?" Zhang Zhongmou asked uncertainly, after all, he didn't believe in these sticks.
The alliance means a win-win situation for the industry, and if only one party benefits, then this alliance should not be done.
"Of course we have that determination." In order to gain trust, Lee Jae-yong spoke out part of the agreement he reached with the Thinking Society, as well as the verbal agreement.
Lunatic! Zhang Zhongmou was frightened by the verbal agreement, and at the same time knew what the Li family had in mind, and it was estimated that it was to drive the wolf and devour the tiger.
Pulling up the big staff and Dongying is to create a three-legged balance.
Although he knew that this was a poisonous pill, Zhang Zhongmou thought about it again and again and found that this path was the best plan at present.
The problem they are facing now is that if they take this pill, there is a 50% chance of poisoning and death; If you don't eat, you will die of 100% disease.
"That's it! The old man let go. β
Lee Jae-yong was overjoyed, and with TSMC joining, this trip was more than half successful.
Under the leadership of Lee Jae-yong and Zhang Zhongmou, they quickly persuaded MediaTek, VIS to make a fortune and other companies.
Now they need to be outnumbered and outnumbered to form a strong coalition.
β¦β¦
Toei, Tokyo.
Under the fluttering bald eagle, two white men in black suits hurried into the white building.
"Major Gordon, is Ambassador Hubbard here?" one of them pulled out a copy of his ID.
As soon as Gordon saw the document, he immediately took it and flipped through it, and after confirming it, he immediately said, "Please follow me." β
The three of them came to the door of an office on the second floor, and Gordon knocked on the door and said, "Mr. Hubbard, there is something important. β
"Come in."
Behind the desk, the old man with the hooked nose of glasses put down the newspaper in his hand, and Gordon hurriedly whispered a few words in his ear.
Hubbard became serious: "You two, please be seated." β
"No, we need your help." The black suit at the head took out an envelope from his body and handed it directly to Hubbard.
Looking at the letter with the fire seal, he took out a paper cutter from the drawer and cut the envelope, and after some browsing, his face changed greatly.
"What do they want to do?"
The black suit said coldly: "They are challenging our bottom line, we must take action to let these pugs know who is their master." β
Hubbard nodded: "No problem, in addition, I will contact the headquarters in Dongying." β
The dark clouds hanging over Northeast Asia are becoming more and more oppressive and heavy, and a storm is coming.
