America's Road to Fame

Chapter 423 Global Finals

William Chen has been staying with Ivanta and their daughter in Shanghai until the [-]th of December.

At this time, the privatization of STMicroelectronics has been completed, and Southern Cross Holdings spent a total of about 75 billion US dollars to fully acquire one of the three European semiconductor giants.

After the acquisition of STMicroelectronics, the company will be merged with Hynix in South Korea and renamed Eurasia Semiconductor Group.

The memory business of Eurasia Semiconductor is all assigned to Hynix, while other businesses are still managed and operated by Eurasia Semiconductor Group.

This time, the Eurasian Semiconductor Group after the merger of Hynix became the third largest semiconductor company in the world after Intel Corporation and Samsung Electronics.

While in Shanghai, William Chen also took time to go to Xinwu to meet with local government officials.Because Hynix-STMicroelectronics, located in Xinwu, was originally a wholly foreign-owned enterprise jointly established by Hynix and STMicroelectronics, which is dedicated to the manufacture of memory.

Now after the merger of Hynix and STMicroelectronics, the company will be renamed Xinwu Hynix Semiconductor and become the Huaguo Company of Hynix, a subsidiary of the Eurasian Semiconductor Group.

Chen William told the local officials that after the company's name and shares were changed, the Eurasian Semiconductor Group will continue to increase investment in China, and will transfer Hynix and STMicroelectronics' South Korea and European The production line was gradually transferred to Huaguo.

His statement naturally made the local government very satisfied. He expressed his welcome to the Eurasian Semiconductor Group to invest and build a factory in China, and will also give relevant preferential policies.

In fact, when Hynix and STMicroelectronics were acquired at that time, Chen William promised to each other that they would upgrade their production lines in South Korea and Europe to improve their technical level and precision.

Now it is time to transfer the old production lines of these two companies in South Korea and Europe to Huaguo, and build a more advanced production line locally.

It's not that William Chen doesn't want to upgrade the production line in Huaguo, but because of the Wassenaar Agreement, many high-tech technologies are restricted in China, and it is impossible to put them in Huaguo, otherwise The entire Eurasian Semiconductor Group is very likely to be sanctioned by the European and American governments. After all, Toshiba in Japan secretly sold high-precision machine tools to the Soviet Union. After being discovered, they were all sanctioned. This is also a very helpless thing.

But even so, the local government of Xinwu is very satisfied. After all, this will inevitably expand the scale of Hynix's production base in Xinwu, which is very beneficial to the local economic and technological development.

After William Chen acquired STMicroelectronics and Hynix, it naturally attracted the attention of many people.In the past, his industry had very few physical enterprises, such as Meta Technology and Meta Entertainment Media, which rarely designed the manufacturing industry of semiconductors. Now, he suddenly acquired STMicroelectronics and Hynix, and merged into The world's third largest semiconductor company, is he going to start manufacturing?

His move made people very confused. After all, the semiconductor industry is now in a low ebb.

Some people even speculated in the report that the only thing related to William Chen's current industry is mobile phone manufacturing. Besides, he has not only invested in Huaguo's Xiaomi company, but also the largest shareholder of Apple. Could it be that he Do you want to expand to the upstream of mobile phone manufacturing?

So, it is very likely that he will buy a mobile phone chip company next, whether it is Qualcomm or Texas Instruments?

Uh, after seeing this report, William Chen was suddenly inspired. In fact, this is possible.

However, the current mobile phone chip market, whether it is Qualcomm or Texas Instruments, is not so easy to acquire. As for Samsung Electronics, it is even more impossible.

However, there is still a suitable company, and that is MediaTek. After MediaTek launched the solution for mobile phone manufacturing, and with the outbreak of counterfeit phones in Huaguo, its performance has skyrocketed. Now, it has not yet reached that time point, so Among the major suppliers of mobile phone chips in the future, MediaTek is currently the most likely to be in the bag.

So he immediately sent someone to contact MediaTek, hoping to invest in or acquire the company.

It's just that this kind of negotiation will not come to fruition in a short while, and now, he is also preparing to leave Huaguo and go to Atlan Island.

Because as December 12th is approaching, Riot Games' League of Legends S15 Season Global Finals will be held there.

In this competition, 12 teams will be selected from 24 competition areas around the world to enter the final global finals. The total prize money of this S1 season global finals is as high as 2500 million US dollars, which is very attractive. National tryouts are very competitive.

After nearly half a year of competition, in the final Huaguo Mainland Division LPL competition, the finalists for the global finals were Yang Mi's HTG team and Xiao Wang's IG team.

In the LPL finals, the LOL branch that Yang Mi bought from WE Club defeated Xiao Wang's IG team after introducing strong personnel and making partial adjustments, and won the championship of the LPL competition and the entry into the hero team. A ticket to the League S1 season global finals.

As the runner-up, the IG club also won another ticket to the S1 season global finals.

For the global finals of the League of Legends S1 season this time, not only has it attracted attention in the game circle, but also Youku and Netflix will open up special columns on the video platform to release all the game videos and interviews of the finals Highlights and other programs.

The reason why William Chen is preparing to attend the scene in person is also because this time the League of Legends S1 season global finals will be the first time that Atlanta will officially appear in the global media after the reconstruction. Personnel from Youku and Netflix will go to the scene to record, and many game media reporters around the world will go to Atlanta. It is also a good test for the tourist carrying capacity of Atlanta at this time.

In addition, the streamer grass and vitality ball projects that have been developed before have also made progress. Some of these products will also be unveiled in the global finals of the League of Legends S1 season. It can be said that this competition is very important for promotion. Atlantis is still more important.

All teams in the world that are shortlisted for the S1 Season Global Finals will be provided with round-trip air tickets and board and lodging in Atlanta by the organizer of the competition.

With the investment of funds, South Pacific Airlines has increased the routes from Atlanta to various major countries, and the first phase of the terminal at Love International Airport has begun to use. All players will be in their respective Depart from the adjacent airport with a route to Atlanta, arrive at Love Island attached to Atlanta, and then follow the Yach Bridge to Atlanta.
