Chapter 603

Seeing that Liu Zhicheng had many concerns, Zhang Ke proposed to take the dozens of engineers who had quit TSMC into his company first.

The previous investor registered a science and technology company in Kuala Lumpur, and dozens of engineers carried out technical preparations for the wafer factory construction project under that company.

Most investors choose to withdraw. Zhang Ke can take over dozens of engineers as long as he accepts the shares of the technology company held by Guo Songyan and Liu Zhicheng in the name of any company.

Of course, after the change of ownership of the technology company, it is unknown how many technicians will stay in the technology company and follow the dispatch to work in scientific research institutions in Jianye, Hong Kong or Tokyo; Liu Zhicheng's role is quite critical.

During the visit, Liu Zhicheng didn't say much. After sending Li Yuanhu, Luo Jun, Xiao Mingjian, Wang Weijun, Lu Wenfu and other provincial and municipal officials away, they returned to the Oak Park venture capital center. Since it was rebuilt from the plant of Lifeng printing and dyeing factory, the construction personnel are used to calling it Lifeng park, The venture capital center and laboratory preparation office are located in the office building reconstructed from a factory in the innermost corner of the park.

Standing on the road, you can't see the trace of the printing and dyeing factory workshop in the house. The high-grade stone veneer outlines the pattern of fancy ideas. In the Huapu of the room, there is a half meter high Lake stone, and the words "Oak Park venture capital center" are engraved on the front of the Hu stone, which is regarded as the symbol of the company.

Zhang Ke entrusted Chen Xinsheng to hire a five person team with rich experience in incubating high-tech enterprises from Singapore to manage the venture capital center and the venture capital fund of 300 million yuan; The current staff of the venture capital center is less than 20; Half of the office space in this building is reserved for laboratory preparation.

The preparation and operation of the laboratory after completion need first-class research talents, which is urgently needed in China. Fortunately, Southeast Asia has suffered this disaster, and the electronic industry in Japan and South Korea is also falling into the worst recession in history. Those overseas students studying abroad and working in overseas electronic enterprises feel the heaviest sense of crisis at this time.

This is a good time to welcome overseas students back to China. Zhang Ke specially transferred Jiang Wei to Hong Kong to replace Xu Si. On the one hand, Xu Si wants to do his own business. On the other hand, the work of hunting senior technicians in Southeast Asia through Hong Kong headhunting companies should also be carried out quickly.

In any case, the more than 30 engineering and technical personnel who left TSMC earlier are definitely a valuable asset.

The whole large factory building is divided into two floors of office area. When you enter, it is a front hall with a height of six meters. It is spacious and bright. The front desk is backed by a frosted glass wall, with red oak logo made of colored plexiglass and company nameplate pasted on the frosted glass wall.

Walk from the curved escalator on the left side of the lobby to the second floor. Under the south window of the second floor is an open staff rest area with modern artistic style. Zhang Ke asked Guo Songyan and Liu Zhicheng to sit in the rest area and talk.

"If you really want to support this wafer factory project, it's not enough without one or two hundred mature engineering and technical personnel..." Liu Zhicheng sat down and said sincerely. Zhang Ke proposed to take over more than 30 engineers who have quit TSMC. Naturally, he would guess that Jinhu might be forced into the wafer factory project.

"Er," Zhang Ke nodded when he heard Liu Zhicheng's reminder. He didn't have a complete technical team and a core figure like Liu Zhicheng to preside over the project. Of course, he wouldn't rush to do the wafer factory project, but he didn't say that. He just looked into Liu Zhicheng's eyes with calm eyes and said with a faint smile, "Some things have to be done by someone. I take a dim view of wealth. It's easy to get and lose quickly. I'm just unwilling that the market with a population of 1.3 billion in the mainland is just a place for overseas electronic manufacturers to compete..."

"Ah..." Guo Songyan and Liu Zhicheng were slightly moved.

In order to promote the trust relationship between the two sides, Liu Zhicheng and Guo Songyan have also learned about the history of the rise of Jinhu in these three years in the past ten days, and the market miracle of Jinhu is amazing; for example, Guo Songyan has worked hard in the business community for so many years, and he has seen young talents like crucian carp crossing the river, but few people have made such brilliant achievements as young as Zhang Ke.

Zhang Ke is a man with distinctive character, which makes Jinhu also branded with distinctive color.

Guo Songyan and Liu Zhicheng believed Zhang Ke's words.

There are always many coincidences in history. Even without Liu Zhicheng, three years later, Zhang Rujing will lead people to the mainland to prepare for the construction of SMIC after the merger of TSMC.

Zhang Ke just hopes to advance this historical process by three years.

Although the financial storm has just passed the first round, Zhang Ke knows the general development trend. As the situation in Hong Kong has improved, perhaps the financial storm will end a few months earlier than another period of history he has experienced.

The next three years will be three years for Japanese and Korean electronic enterprises to recuperate after heavy setbacks, and it is a key era for digital signal technology to comprehensively replace analog signal technology. As long as domestic electronic enterprises and Jinhu have made great progress in these three years, they can squeeze the space for Japanese and Korean electronic enterprises to recover by taking advantage of the market of 1.3 billion people in the mainland.

These three years are crucial.

If there is a possibility, Zhang Ke will still try his best to promote the project, although Liu Zhicheng seems to have some confidence and worries.

Thirty engineers and technicians are far from supporting the wafer factory project. If there are 200 skilled workers, Chen Xinsheng may be able to bear the heavy responsibility; Then again, if we can maintain a good cooperative relationship with Deyi and don't dig people from Deyi, maybe Deyi will also support Jinhu to build a second-class wafer factory in the mainland - this is the technology that Deyi has entered the phase out period.

Zhang Ke certainly has other plans.

The integrated circuit industry developed to the middle and late 1980s and has been divided into four well-defined industrial clusters: integrated circuit manufacturing, application design, packaging and testing.

TSMC mainly provides integrated circuit manufacturing services for other electronic manufacturers, including packaging and product testing, but does not involve the application development of specific chip products.

This is the characteristic of the development of Taiwan's electronics industry. With TSMC as the cornerstone, other companies focusing on chip development and design have achieved great development.

Taiwan Mingjun Electronics Co., Ltd., the main supplier of disc drive system control chip, developed the technology of disc drive system control chip and entrusted TSMC to produce the final chip products for sale to disc drive manufacturers.

Aida electronics also has the development ability of disc drive system control chip, but it is entrusted to Texas Instruments.

The OEM mode can make TSMC more professional in wafer manufacturing, but it also has its disadvantages. TSMC does not have its own chip products to ensure that the company has a stable profit. Once the whole industry falls into a trough, TSMC's performance will be greatly affected.

The financial turmoil in Southeast Asia will further spread. Not only will the economic environment in the whole Southeast Asia further deteriorate, but also the economies of Taiwan, Singapore, Rb and other places will inevitably fall into recession. The economy of country h will be directly damaged by the financial storm - I'm afraid no one can predict it as clearly as Zhang Ke. This moment will not be too far away, TSMC will also fall into short-term business difficulties.

This will make the internal contradictions of TSMC surface and even intensify.

As long as they can take over the first batch of engineers, when Liu Zhicheng and his other engineers choose to leave TSMC because they don't feel there is a way out in the future, they won't have many other choices.

In the next two years, major wafer factories around the world will fall into a temporary dilemma of overcapacity. Zhang Ke is not worried that the engineers of technology companies will choose to leave.

Naturally, Zhang Ke would not speak out all his intentions. He chose a very inspiring speech to show Jinhu's determination to face the difficulties.

After the five-day business visit, although Liu Zhicheng did not finally make up his mind, he agreed to transfer the shares of the technology company registered in Malaysia to a company registered in the Cayman Islands by Zhang Ke together with Guo Songyan, and Zhang Ke injected some funds, so that the preliminary preparations for the project can continue.

Although Liu Zhicheng did not have much confidence in the investment project of the wafer factory at this time, at least he left a way back for himself and his engineers, and he would not get out of the project immediately.

When Liu Zhicheng and Guo Songyan returned to Hong Kong, Zhang Ke asked Chen Xinsheng to go with them, and also asked Chen Xinsheng to accompany Guo Songyan to Malaysia. The engineers and technicians who were willing to work in the mainland first signed in to Aida group's home to participate in the preparation of the laboratory, Other indecisive engineers and technicians were first placed in the Malaysian technology company to continue to be responsible for the technical preparation of the wafer factory - it is unrealistic to bring people back to China at once, but this work should be done unremittingly.

There was no practical progress. Jianye municipal Party committee and government did not slack off, but aroused greater interest.

Luo Jun, Secretary of Jianye municipal Party committee, even asked Zhang Ke if Jinhu could undertake the project alone. Zhang Ke clearly told Luo Jun that without Liu Zhicheng and his engineering and technical personnel, even if Jinhu could obtain some second-class wafer manufacturing technology from Deyi or Singapore, Jinhu could do it alone and build a three-tier factory at most, And there is very limited room for progress in the future.

Luo Jun knew that Zhang Ke had the courage to refuse Li Yuanhu. He didn't insist on it. He just reiterated the position of Jianye municipal Party committee. As long as there is a chance, Jianye municipal Party committee and municipal government will try their best to strive for it.

Not only did Jianye municipal Party committee and municipal government make such a firm stand, but the central government was also very enthusiastic about the project according to the news fed back from ye Zhenmin. However, the project has no eyebrows and is inconvenient to support directly.

Ye Zhenmin visited Singapore on behalf of the Liaison Office of the CPC Central Committee and representatives from Hong Kong in mid September to discuss cooperation with the Singapore government to jointly resist the impact of the financial storm. Vice Premier Zhao Jidong has agreed that Jinhu and Jianye municipal government will send staff to accompany him, Test the Singapore government's attitude towards moving the wafer factory project to the mainland - this involves whether we can continue to obtain some wafer manufacturing technology from Singapore.

In September, Jinhu will continuously launch new products such as digital mobile phones and electronic dictionaries. As the general manager of the operation Department, Su Jindong will stay in Haizhou headquarters.

Xiao Jincheng, general manager of the overseas operation Department, is temporarily responsible for the work of the overseas product R & D center. In addition, Xiao Jincheng is also responsible for preparing the overseas sales network, preparing for the smooth launch of MP3 players in the overseas market at the end of the year, and also responsible for the recruitment of overseas students.

Chen Hanzhang presided over the work of ESS experimental base. In order to continuously develop the latest product technology, we should also consider transferring some of the less important research work to China first, and secretly prepare a research and development team for developing mobile phone baseband chips.

In addition to coordinating the overall situation, the main work of Oak Park is still on Chen Xinsheng's shoulders. At this time, he is duty bound to undertake the important task of the wafer factory project.

Yuexiu holdings also made equity adjustment at the end of August. Sun Shangyi served as the chairman of Yuexiu holdings. Zhang Ke hoped that when Jinhu went to Southeast Asia to pick up fruit, he could exert his influence. However, at this time, sun Shangyi had to negotiate with Huishan municipal government on behalf of Yuexiu holdings to inject capital into xiangxuehai.

The hedge fund business can only continue to be lost to Ye Jianbin and Nick Leeson, who stare at it together.

On September 4, Zhang Ke temporarily put everything aside and went back to Haizhou. September 6 is the first day for freshmen of Donghai university to sign up.
