Rebirth 76: Industrial Internet Empire

"If you have any specific concerns, you might as well tell us. As long as our Donghai Municipal Government can solve them, we will help you solve them properly!" Xu Guangdi promised.

"Mayor Xu, to build an advanced chip company, the first thing is the stability of technical talents. We need to recruit people from major chip manufacturers such as Texas Instruments and Intel. Westerners are used to the kind of feasting and nightlife. The traffic and housing here are... The environment and living facilities are worrying..." Zhang Rujing said with concern.

Xu Guangdi raised his finger and pointed at the bridge not far away and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, have you seen that newly built bridge? Beyond that bridge is our most prosperous commercial district in Donghai City, and it won't be long before the entire Binjiang District , will also become a prosperous commercial center, and the planned international financial center and high-tech industrial park will be located in Binjiang District!"

Without waiting for Zhang Rujing to reply, Xu Guangdi continued: "Mr. Zhang, the Donghai Municipal Government will try its best to meet all your demands. In terms of policy, we will give you a 50% tax reduction for five years, and we will also give you a [-]% reduction in land transfer fees... …”

Xu Guangdi's sincerity finally "impressed" Zhang Rujing, and the Shida Semiconductor Project was successfully settled in Zhangjiang Town, Binjiang District, Donghai City. However, Zhang Rujing put forward an additional requirement based on Yang Mo's instructions. It was not far from the high-tech park and relatively " A piece of planned commercial and residential land on the "remote" riverside is required to build a living area for Shida Semiconductor Company.

Hsinchu Science Park in Taiwan Province is on the road.

TSMC headquarters.

Liang Mengsong, director of the R&D Department, just returned to the office from the R&D center when he received a mysterious phone call: Hello, Mr. Liang, I am Qian Ning, president of Zhiyuan International Consulting Company...

After putting down the phone, Liang Mengsong made several calls and finally found out the details of Zhiyuan International Consulting Company. After learning about it, Liang Mengsong felt a faint excitement in his heart. Could it be that Zhiyuan Group wanted to acquire TSMC?

As soon as it was time to get off work, Liang Mengsong hurriedly drove away with his briefcase and arrived at the Hsinchu Caesar Hotel.

Pushing open the door of a luxury box, he only saw a young man sitting on the sofa. Liang Mengsong thought he had left and rushed to the box, and was just about to exit...

The young man sitting on the sofa suddenly stood up and said with a smile: "Is it Mr. Liang?"

Liang Mengsong stopped and said: "I am Liang Mengsong from TSMC, who are you?"

The young man stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Hello Mr. Liang, I am Qian Ning from Zhiyuan International..."

After a brief exchange of greetings, Liang Mengsong asked straight to the point: "I don't know if Mr. Qian made a special appointment to meet Liang. Do you have any advice?"

Qian Ning chuckled and said, "I don't want to take advice seriously. I just feel that Mr. Liang's position as the R&D Director of TSMC is a bit underwhelming..."

"Liang doesn't quite understand what Mr. Qian means. Please clarify!" Liang Mengsong looked at Qian Ning with some confusion and asked.

"Germany's Cima Semiconductor is preparing to separate its chip manufacturing center from its parent company and become a completely independent chip manufacturing company. It lacks a leader who can take charge of its own affairs. The board of directors is very interested in your resume and sincerely invites you to join us. , I wonder if you are interested?" Qian Ning said with a smile.

"You mean to let you serve as the CEO of Xima Semiconductor's wafer factory?" Liang Mengsong asked with a hint of unnoticeable excitement on his face.

Qian Ning shook his head and smiled: "You are not the CEO of a certain wafer fab, but you are responsible for the entire chip production, packaging, and testing. With the expansion speed of our Zhiyuan International, there may be many wafer fabs all over the world. We need You run and manage it!”

Qian Ning had mastered Yang Mo's cake painting skills. Liang Mengsong looked at Liang Mengsong, who was still a little dazed, and continued: "We currently have two wafer fabs in operation, namely the Munich 6-inch wafer fab in Germany and the Science and Technology Co., Ltd. The 8-inch wafer fab in Fort, these two fabs will be merged into the newly established Zhiyuan Electronics!"

After a brief moment of daze, Liang Mengsong asked in rapid succession: "What is Zhiyuan Electronics' development plan? How much capital are you prepared to invest? Will Cima Semiconductor and the Group Company interfere in the company's operations and management?"

Qian Ning chuckled and said: "I would like to hear your opinion on the specific development plan and invest the funds! The initial investment is tentatively set at 1 million US dollars, and will be increased based on the actual situation. As for the operation and management, it will be spun off from Xima Semiconductor Company. Just to operate independently..."

"What about the salary?" Liang Mengsong asked directly.

"Of course the salary will not be lower than your income at TSMC. In addition, according to Zhiyuan Group's practice, the core management team and technical team also have option incentives..." Qian Ning said with a smile.

"Wouldn't it be lower than our income at TSMC? Mr. Qian, is there anyone else going there with you?" Liang Mengsong was keenly aware of the tone of Qian Ning's words.

A fox-like smile appeared on Qian Ning's face, and he said calmly: "Not yet, but Mr. Liang can form your core management team and technical team and bring them over. You can decide the salary and benefits!"

Liang Mengsong thought for a while, and several people appeared in his mind. The first one that appeared in his mind was Yu Zhenhua, who had just joined the R&D department...

Qian Ning looked at Liang Mengsong who was deep in thought and suddenly asked: "Mr. Liang, can you talk about your general strategic plan after joining Zhiyuan Electronics?"

Liang Mengsong knew that this was the highlight of their meeting today. The conditions offered by Zhiyuan International were generous enough, but if he couldn't come up with something convincing, it would be difficult to fulfill these conditions!

After pondering for a moment, Liang Mengsong said: "The core competitiveness of chip foundry production comes from two aspects. Controlling costs and advanced processes. Mastering and maintaining advanced processes requires investing a lot of R&D funds. For the competitiveness of mature process products, It is very important to control costs. Labor costs, yield, and optimization of post-packaging inspection technology will all affect cost accounting..."

Qian Ning nodded and motioned for Liang Mengsong to continue.

"Zhiyuan Electronics' current two wafer fabs are both located in Germany, where labor costs are the most expensive. In the past, Cima Semiconductor designed its own designs and could absorb these labor costs. Now that it is independent, it has to move its production lines to Asia. In Building a wafer fab in mainland China is obviously the best choice to reduce costs..." Liang Mengsong said gushingly.

Qian Ning nodded and said: "That's right! Cima Semiconductor Company happened to fully acquire Pingjiang Radio Factory No. [-] in the Mainland. Mr. Liang, please complete the resignation procedures as soon as possible and fly to Coburg Cima Semiconductor Company. Mr. Heynckes I will go through the handover procedures with you!"

Zhang Zhongmou did not take the collective resignation of core technical staff such as R&D Directors Liang Mengsong and Yu Zhenhua into consideration. Any chip foundry company would have the capital to be arrogant as long as it could hold on to the thick legs of Intel and IBM...
