Chapter 467: Take TSMC and invest in Foxconn

@@要知道, it's the end of the 80s, and chips are nothing!

Yes, in the early 80s, who would have thought that this thing would become the future of technology!

In the early years, the electronics industry in the east was still very profitable, after all, it was a new technology, and in fact, there was not much difference in the starting time of everyone.

In 56, the Institute of Computing Technology was established, and in 58, the East China Institute of Computing Technology was established in Modu, and Modu and Yanjing became the two major bases of the electronics industry in the north and south.

In 1960, the Chinese Academy of Sciences established the Semiconductor Research Institute, and in 63 years, the Fourth Ministry of Machinery Industry was established, which was in charge of the national electronics industry, Yanjing 878 Factory mainly produced TTU circuits, CMOS clock circuits and A/D conversion circuits, and Modu Radio 19 Factory mainly produced TTL and HTL digital integrated circuits.

In 1968, the 14th factory of Modu Radio was the first to make PMOS circuits, and in the 70s, Yongchuan Semiconductor Research Institute, Shangwu 14th Factory and Yanjing 878 Factory successively developed NMOS circuits and CMOS circuits.

On August 26, 73, the first integrated circuit electronic computer in the east with 1 million calculations per second-105 machine.

In 75 years, Wang Yangyuan and others designed the first batch of three types of 1KDRAM dynamic random access memory in China, which was five years later than the C1103 developed by Intel Corporation, but four or five years earlier than Bangzi and Wanwan.

In 77 years, the fourth machine department invested 3 million yuan to build a 6,000 square meter integrated circuit clean workshop, and by 90 years, the factory had produced 509 kinds of integrated circuits, with an output of 41.2 million pieces and an output value of 325 million yuan.

In October 78, Wang Shouwu led the development of 4KDRAM, which was put into mass production in Factory 109 the following year (six years later than the United States).

After Nixon's visit to China in '72, the East decided to spend $100 million in '73 to introduce seven of the world's most advanced 3-inch wafer production lines from Europe and the United States, 2 years earlier than Wanwan and 4 years earlier than the stick.

However, due to some reasons, it was delayed until 77 years before the introduction of 3 production lines.

It took 75 years for Intel to start building the world's first 4-inch wafer fab.

At this time, the wafer production line can also be introduced casually, it is not a Batumi restriction technology at all, and the chip technology is not lagging behind at all.

In fact, the real watershed was in 77 years, when the team changed.

There are still more than 900 million US dollars in foreign exchange reserves in 77 years, and in July J proposed to spend 6.5 billion US dollars in the next eight years to import technology and equipment from abroad, focusing on the development of petrochemical industry, coal and light industry output, in order to earn more foreign exchange.

You must know that the east can build a lithography machine in 64 years, and the KHA-75-1 lithography machine produced in 109 factories in 1982 is only one generation difference with the most advanced technology at that time, and in 85 years, the 45th Institute also developed a step-by-step lithography machine with an accuracy of 436 nanometers, which is also at the same level as the 4800DS in the United States.

In 1981, the Institute of Semiconductors successfully developed 16KDRAM (two years later than South Korea).

In 1985, the factory manufactured the first 64KDRAM in China (one year later than South Korea)

And then there was no then.

No one is to blame for this thing, the issue of development focus is the same all over the world.

It is true that no one has paid attention to the chip industry in these years, whether it is the United States or Europe.

After Nab, the predecessor of lithography giant ASML, developed the world's most advanced lithography machine and reported it to the headquarters, the executives of the owner Philips just glanced at the equipment and hurried away.

Go to the launch of the new generation of washing machines......

It's still the same sentence, a black cat and a white cat are good cats when they catch mice!

You say that your chip industry has a great future and is the technology of the future, but so what?

Mining on the moon is very profitable, and the mines are ownerless!

Controlled nuclear fusion technology or future technology, unlimited energy!

But how much the do you have to invest, and when will you start making a lot of money?

Don't talk to the capitalists about those prospects, talk about those futures, just ask you, can you make a lot of money?

Yes, then take care of you!

If you can't, then you get out of the calf!

It is impossible for a capitalist not to do a lot of money and invest a large amount of money in an industry that cannot see the future, and if you can't go up in the scale of your industry, it will be in vain to say anything.

It's that real!

The chip industry in the 80s, the world added up to a lot of money, and it really wouldn't be much more expensive than the production of screws......

Don't look down on the production of screws, the scale of the industry is much larger than the current chip industry, is there any product that does not need to be screwed!

What's more, the screw production process on those high-precision instruments is not low at all.

Saying everything else is fake, making money is real!

In 1983, Intel's revenue had just surpassed $1 billion, which was too little.

The real embargo began in July 1996, when 33 countries formally signed the Wassenaar Agreement, and the list of civilian technology controls included nine categories: electronic devices, computers, sensors, etc.

Therefore, the Wanwan government also thinks that Sean poached in front of them and didn't take them seriously, and the others ...... I didn't feel much of it.

Talking about losses?

They don't have shares in TSMC, and the money doesn't fall into their own hands, even if they really lose money because of Sean's poaching, it is the government's money that is lost, what does it have to do with them.

It's nothing more than one of many failed investments.

Besides, looking at Sean's attitude now, this project may be really good, even if the factory is built again, it will be a year or two before it is completely built, and this built one can make money now.

When it is really withdrawn from Wanwan to the mainland, it will be a matter for the next government.

What does the mess have to do with them!

Thinking about it, the officials on both sides looked at each other and squeezed out a smile, "Of course not, our Wanwan is an open Wanwan that supports all reasonable and legal business activities, and there will never be any obstacles set up in it."

"As for Mr. Sean, of course you are law-abiding, no problem, no problem at all!"

Guo Kongcheng: Fuck, if I hadn't experienced the whole thing, I would have almost believed it!

Those who engage in politics really don't have a temperate attitude!

Zhang Zhongmou stared blankly at the back and forth on both sides, and he wanted to yell: What about me, I am the protagonist, I am needed to build a factory, have you asked my opinion? Am I okay with that?

In Sean's opinion, this is obviously not the most important.

Talents, yes, but whether you can realize your wishes and whether you can play it depends on whether there is recognition from big people!

"What does Mr. Zhang think?" Sean turned his head and looked at Zhang Zhongmou with a smile, "Is Mr. willing to cooperate with me?"

"Of course, the specific investment will be the Asian Investment Bank, and I will not come out personally, so you don't need to worry about management, and I will only take action when you encounter any difficulties."

"It's too hasty." Zhang Zhongmou frowned, and barely squeezed out a smile, he didn't want to go back to the mainland to build any factory, and there were no good memories for him.

He spent his entire childhood and adolescence in the east, although he moved a lot of food to escape the war, and his father was the director of the finance bureau of Ningyin County during the Republic of China.

The subordinate of the county magistrate is responsible for the role of tax collection until 90 years later, in 2010.

In those days, being able to move back and forth at least one thing showed that their family was very rich!

Those who had no money stayed in the local area to resist the Japanese......

I didn't have the money and didn't have the money to go to Harvard, so at least I was a small capitalist, and then I followed it naturally to Wanwan.

Not leaving?

If you don't leave, all your property will be confiscated, and people will be arrested and paraded through the streets!

Of course, there are also heavy losses when you go.

In this case, if Zhang Zhongmou can still have a good impression of the east, then he will really repay his grievances with virtue.

Of course, it doesn't matter what you think in your heart, it won't affect your business.

Business is business!

"Why, Mr. Zhang can say anything if he has any concerns." Sean asked with a smile, Sean has always been very polite to people who can create profits for himself, "You have to believe me, believe in the United States, there is nothing we can't solve, there are more ways than difficulties."

The corners of Zhang Zhongmou's mouth twitched, are you sure that this was said by the Americans.

"Chip manufacturing is not just a factory, it has a long construction period, it is a capital-heavy industry, and the benefits are not immediate, so this requires a high level of stability in the local political situation, and we must ensure that there will be no major changes in local policies." Zhang Zhongmou said it more tactfully, he was not optimistic about the east.

On the one hand, it is influenced by the American media, and on the other hand, it is the factual situation.

In the 70s, three wafer production lines were introduced from the United States.

Later, more advanced ones were introduced, and the results were demonstrated for three years, approved for three years, and implemented for three years, and when the implementation was implemented, it became an obsolete production line......

This makes Zhang Zhongmou confident.

"Okay, you don't have to worry about this, now TSMC is only using the 3-inch wafer production line that was brought up eight years ago, and there are ready-made ones in the east, I can complete the acquisition and relocation at any time, of course, if you want, I can bring you a 4-inch production line from Intel, or simply import 6-inch wafers."

"You don't have to worry about policy issues, this time is different from the past, investment is my business, just like here, you don't have much money, and the loss is also my problem, it has nothing to do with you." Sean smiled and waved his hand.

"As for talents, we will need a large number of relevant high-end talents, if the factory is built in the east, it will be difficult for us to recruit high-end talents, Wanwan will not release people, and it is also difficult to recruit people from the United States or Europe." Zhang Zhongmou asked the question again.

"Ha, and when I Sean can't recruit anyone? At the current level of IC, there are not many people left behind in the east, besides......" Sean laughed twice and turned his head to look at the people of the Wanwan government, "Forcibly detaining people against one's will is a violation of human rights, I believe that the Wanwan government will not be so unwise!"

"Of course, of course." The people in the government laughed dryly, and the policy was that Wanwan was forbidden to travel at this time.

"You see, they're very open-minded!" Sean smiled and pursed his lips.

Zhang Zhongmou glanced at this group of officials with disdain, phew, what about discipline.

"What's the problem?" Sean asked again.

Zhang Zhongmou opened his mouth, and he didn't know what to say for a while, money, the other party gave investment, policy, the other party's guarantee, talent, the other party came to invite, manage, and the other party let go...... Then what reason do you have to refuse?

"I remember that you are also an American, think about it, rest assured, I will definitely not be strong." Seeing that Zhang Zhongmou didn't speak, Sean's face gradually turned cold, and he turned around and left after leaving a meaningful word.

The atmosphere of the scene suddenly became solemn.

Everyone knows that when I talked about the acquisition with Qu Hongzhi before, he talked about it with a gun to someone's head.

Sean: You're slandering me, obviously not holding your head up, so far away.

Now there are dozens of armed American GIs outside, how can everyone not be surprised that they suddenly have such a good attitude.

I don't know when, it's good to negotiate with someone without that gun on your head.

You can see how flexible the standard is.

Of course, this also makes sense, a good person, everyone will ask him to be polite, and it is not right to overstep it slightly.

But for the bad guys, everyone's demand naturally becomes not to hurt others......

It's just that when Sean leaves, that sentence obviously won't be so easy to give up.

Now, Wanwan officials don't blame Zhang Zhongmou.

Zhang Zhongmou has been worried, he doesn't think about tea and dinner, and he is in a very bad mood.

This bad mood was fulfilled in the evening, "Hello, is it Zhongmou Zhang This is the IRS, we have some doubts about the taxes you have reported in the past few years, please re-declare the taxes for the last three years within 48 hours, if you do not report after the expiration date, we will take some."

Necessary measures."

"Hello, Zhongmou Zhang, this is the FBI, and we suspect that you have something to do with a technology diffusion case......

"Hello, Zhongmou Zhang, this is the customs ......."

"Hello, Zhongmou Zhang, this is ...... We suspect TSMC of dumping in the U.S." ......"

A dozen phone calls were connected, all of them were from various departments in the United States, and there were completely some suspicions, and Zhang Zhongmou was sure that he had nothing to do with these things.

However, if you want to get into trouble, there will always be a way, especially if there is a big shot.

Let's just talk about taxes, if I really do something to his bank account......

Even if he only found out a few hundred dollars in tax evasion, it would be enough for him to drink a pot.

And doing something to his bank account is difficult for others, and for Sean, it's not too simple.

This kind of method is rarely used, not for ordinary people, and not for big people.

It's a good fit for people like them.

The U.S. government will protect Americans, but if it is an internal contradiction, it is entirely up to individual means.

Sean's reasons for doing it, any one of them can make it difficult for TSMC to move an inch, and his current business mainly comes from some of Intel's foundries, and he still relied on some connections left in the United States back then.

Comparable to Rockefeller Billy...... Stop it.

Under a series of blows, the next morning, Zhang Zhongmou honestly called Sean and agreed to all of Sean's suggestions.

And on the official side of Wanwan, it doesn't matter even more.

TSMC's shares are half funded by the official fund of the Bay Area, and the remaining half is jointly settled by private funds and foreign capital.

However, because private funds are afraid of risks, their contributions are very scattered, and they only pay a little money for the official face, but in fact, the official funds completely dominate.

In fact, TSMC really gained a firm foothold when it was listed on the New York Stock Exchange in 1997, and soon after the listing, the original private capital began to cash out and run away......

Wanwan Capital is not optimistic about TSMC as a whole, and from a global perspective, capital is not optimistic about the IC industry.

It's like Motorola is not optimistic about smart phones, Nokia is not optimistic about capacitive screen mobile phones, who can say this thing.

In addition, Sean is the real father of American dads, and if he wants to acquire a part of TSMC's shares, there is naturally no problem.

Sean took out $13 million to complete the share acquisition from private capital, and then invested in the acquisition of part of the shares from the local government, and after the complete acquisition, Sean controlled 65% of TSMC's shares.

At this time, TSMC was still a small ...... The production lines are all obsolete 3-inch wafer production lines introduced by Wanwan eight years ago, and the price of such production lines was 15 million US dollars at that time.

Sean is already a premium acquisition.

And just as everything was negotiated, before the acquisition was completely completed, Sean pulled a foundry contract for 45 million chips for TSMC through his own connections.

TVs, air conditioners, refrigerators, vehicles......

Zhang Zhongmou, who was not very reluctant, immediately changed his attitude, from being resistant and half-pushing to taking the initiative to ask for it frantically.

Man, the speed of change is so unexpected.

……

Guo Taiming knew that Sean suddenly ran to Wanwan and made such a big fuss, and he was still indignant that the authorities were powerless and did nothing, and he was proud of his prescient decision to come to Pengcheng to set up a factory.

But a few days later, when he received news from the company, when Qu Hongzhi sold all the shares in his hand to Sean, he was stupid.

He was very greedy for the recent uproar of orders for super-large factories in the mainland, hoping to win the order to let Funn tide over the difficulties, but he never thought that his company would one day be targeted by Sean.

Yes, that's what he thinks, stalking!

Capital has always been

The most ruthless, the most cold-blooded, if it is unprofitable, capital will not look at you, and when capital invests its eyes on you, then there is only one reason, they see benefits, huge benefits!

And this kind of attention is not all good, capital will not watch profits slip through the cracks of their fingers, they will try to squeeze every drop of oil and water.

The result is often a makeover of the company, which has become another exquisite snack on the capital plate, and the founder has long since died somewhere.

Guo Taiming can casually cite more than a dozen such examples, especially his company is not a high-tech company, and he himself is not an indispensable talent, just a foundry, and the most important thing is nothing more than management.

Is there a shortage of managerial talent in the hands of capitalists?

He said that he was not afraid of being fake, and he had thought of the means, which were reasonable and legal, and a capital injection could slowly wash away the shares in his hands.

So, what does your super-rich billionaire like about Fonn?

I can't change it!

This heart, since receiving the news, has been raised to his throat, and even the fact that he got the order of his dreams can't make him happy.

How does he think that these orders are all feed provided by the breeder, and the livestock will be slaughtered only after they have been fattened......

……

In November 1989, Sean finally settled the affairs of Wanwan, and did not return to Pengcheng as soon as possible, but went to Hong Kong Island, returned to his mansion, and rested with a group of warblers and Yanyan in his arms......

Well, it's actually quite tiring.

After resting for a few days, Sean finally remembered Guo Taiming.

After Guo Taiming received the news, he didn't sleep all night, and hurriedly took a car to Hong Kong Island the next day, and was brought in after arriving at Sean's mansion.

The first time they met, Sean was startled, Guo Taiming's big eye bags and crow's feet at the corners of his eyes could clip the text, "The information shows that you are only 39, look at you, and say, have you changed your age!"

"Ah, haha, no, no." Guo Taiming was stunned, then shook his head with a wry smile, "I've been too busy lately."

I didn't expect the first thing I said when I saw Sean was this, although it sounded a little offensive, but Guo Taiming was in a much better mood.

You have no identity, no status, and when you meet for the first time, you say this, it's called no rules, no manners, no quality, no education, no brains!

You have status, status, strength, the first time you meet, that's called approachable, that's called elegant and easy-going, that's called down-to-earth, that's called taking you as a friend!

"Are you too busy, I think you're a burden." Sean smiled and didn't get up, just beckoned and said, "Come and sit."

"Okay." Guo Taiming immediately stepped forward and sat on Sean's side.

"Drink something?"

"Coffee."

"I'll see it." Sean laughed and teased, chatted for a few words to make an opening statement, and then got to the point, "I guess you already know about my acquisition of Mr. Qu's shares, how about it, what do you think?"

"I ......," Guo Taiming opened his mouth, "Of course I welcome Mr. Sean's investment, but I'm also afraid of disappointing you."

"Huh." Sean smiled noncommittally, "You don't have to think about it, I like Fonn, so don't include it in the system, it's like I invest in other companies, I don't have the mood or time to manage it myself."

"Fonn's investment here will be in the Asian Investment Bank, and the shareholders of the investment bank are all Southeast Asian Chinese, mainly MCA, except for me, and I believe you can communicate well."

"You can rest assured that Fonn's later management is still in your hands."

"However, the scale is too small now, and there will be a follow-up injection of $10 million, of course, considering that it is difficult for you to digest so much money at the current scale, this $10 million injection will be divided into three rounds, the first $2 million, and then slowly increase, saving a large amount of money to develop too quickly and eventually trigger some bad reactions."

Hearing that Sean was going to inject $10 million, Guo Taiming's face changed.

Funn is only worth a few dollars now, such a large capital injection will inevitably dilute his shares, is it really still impossible to escape......

Sean obviously saw his thoughts, smiled and said, "As for your personal shares, you don't have to worry too much, what age is this, if you want the horses to run, of course you have to give the horses grass."

"Every capital injection will calculate the company's assets according to the current size of the company, as long as the company is on the right track, your assets will only be more, not less."

"And there will be details about the management authority in the contract, Funn is your effort, it was, it is, it is in the future, with me as your backing, Funn will only develop faster and better."

"Alright, that's it." Sean didn't give Guo Taiming a chance to refuse, and waved his hand to change to the next topic, "I heard that your father-in-law is Lin Baixin, and the old man doesn't look down on you?"

Guo Taiming didn't expect Sean to mention this, and he was caught off guard for a while, so he could only smile awkwardly, "I can't agree with Shuru, I really don't deserve the daughter of the Lin family."

It's a love affair, but it's unworthy, and the meaning is obvious.

Guo Taiming and Lin Shuru, that is the story of a real poor boy and a rich daughter, like a fairy tale...... It's strange that Lin Baixin can agree.

Sean was curious about this story.

A meaningful smile hung on the corner of his mouth, and Sean patted Guo Taiming's shoulder, "It's okay, come with me to a banquet in the evening, and let the old man see, what is thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, and what is not to bully young people into poverty!"

Terry Gou: !!

This, okay?

This is good!

In a word, the worries and dissatisfaction in Guo Taiming's heart just now disappeared in an instant.

Why don't you return to your hometown like a brocade night, in ancient times, there was no unspeakable suffering, who wants to leave their hometown, to put it bluntly, isn't it just to pretend to be forced in front of the people who mocked themselves back then!

Except for saints, all human pursuits are, in the final analysis, pretending!
