I Am the President of the University

"how do I say this?!"

The two deans asked questions almost at the same time.

No way, TSMC is too important to the economy of Treasure Island!

If Hon Hai Group (Foxconn) and TSMC choose one of them, they will give up Hon Hai Group without hesitation.

Hon Hai Group can also have Black Sea Group and Green Sea Group, but TSMC is different. This is the only company with core competitiveness in the treasure island area.

And TSMC's largest shareholder and actual control are under the Executive Yuan. It is a veritable "provincial enterprise", which is also related to their small coffers.

Zhang Zhongmou's face was a little gloomy, and he was not in a good mood, so he waved his hand, "Let Deyin explain to the two of you."

Liu Deyin, who was a transparent person on the side, suddenly lifted his spirits. He didn't dare to intervene when the three big bosses spoke, and now he finally has a chance to perform.

"Conventionally speaking, TSMC would rather lose the mainland market than offend Washington. After all, the beautiful country has much more orders than the mainland, and it is subject to technical licensing issues. Once it offends Washington, TSMC is likely to be sanctioned."

These words of Liu Deyin made the two deans take it seriously.

The bulk of TSMC's orders are beautiful countries, followed by the mainland.

The former accounted for about 60%, the latter was 32%, and the remaining 8% were foundry orders from other countries.

TSMC has already lost Huaxing’s orders because of problems in Washington.

You must know that TSMC’s two major customers are Apple (24%) and Huaxing (16%). After losing Huaxing’s order, TSMC had to turn to Washington and was preparing to invest 100 billion US dollars to build factories in the beautiful country within three years.

TSMC also wants to supply Huaxing. After all, it is not shabby to make money, but it is afraid of being discovered by Washington. It only hopes that the lost orders on Huaxing can be made up in the beautiful country.

It's just that Guanghua has been tossed, and the follow-up plans are all messed up.

"At present, TSMC's 3nm chip is difficult to produce, and it may not be broken until next year. As for mass production..." At this point, Liu Deyin looked a little heavy.

I had to continue with difficulty: "If you are optimistic, mass production can only be completed in the first half of 2023. It would be nothing if there is no optical core, but when optical core comes out, let alone 3nm chips, even 1nm can't hold it!"

"What do you mean is that if TSMC wants to survive, it must reach a cooperation with Guanghua and get the production order for optical core?" Dean Jiang said with a headache.

However, Vice President Xie frowned and asked two key questions, "How long will the optical core be available? Do we have no other way to deal with it?"

Liu Deyin and Zhang Zhongmou looked at each other.

Looking at the hopeful Presidents Jiang and Xie, Zhang Zhongmou had no choice but to pour cold water and said: “According to our internal calculations, Guanghua’s optical core research has made breakthroughs. It is expected that if it goes well, it can be broken by the end of 2021. Mass production will be realized in the spring of 2022. As for the response..."

Zhang Zhongmou raised his head and said bitterly: "Unless we can develop a chip technology with stronger performance than the optical core before the spring of 2022."

"Is it possible?" Dean Jiang anxiously asked.

"Yes." Zhang Zhongmou smiled slightly, "the probability is about 0.1%."

In fact, to be precise, the possibility should be 0, but this is too shocking, so he added a 1 to the duck egg.

Dean Jiang's eyes were black, and he could only feel a whirl of the sky.

On the contrary, Vice President Xie was able to calm down and asked calmly: "So our only way is to maintain the relationship with the other side, and then cooperate with Guanghua to win the optical core production order?"

"If there are other ways, I won't be here." Zhang Zhongmou's eyes were a little lost.

As the godfather of Baodao Semiconductor, both the SMIC and Liang Yiqing at Guanghua were once generals under him.

After Dr. Liang Yiqing left TSMC, he came to Samsung and SMIC successively, using his abilities and talents to bring a leap forward in the chip manufacturing process of these two companies.

But he is stable.

Although a little nervous, his mind can be stabilized.

But this time...

He panicked!

The gap between photonic chips and electronic chips is too big!

Not to increase the chip performance by 20% or 50%, but to increase it by 1000%!

The gap of more than ten times is completely open. It is obviously a technology that cannot be realized by current technology. As a result, the magical mainland has actually achieved it.

Zhang Zhongmou was extremely depressed.

He was naturally a proud man when he created TSMC and pushed TSMC to its current position.

But the situation is pressing. If TSMC doesn't do this, there will be no way to survive!

That magical land has created many myths.

Especially in infrastructure...

The original Xiaotangshan Hospital, the Huoshenshan Hospital last year, and the new district around the capital, and so on.

If Guanghua is purely doing chip design, similar to Huaxing's Hisilicon Kirin, he is not afraid, anyway, chip manufacturing cannot bypass their TSMC.

However, the other party invited Liang Yiqing to build an optical core industrial park on Ludao, and convened a lot of chip manufacturing-related companies in the Mainland to pass, and this combination came down...

He knew that Guanghua wanted to get the Samsung model, from chip design to chip manufacturing to solve it all by itself, and also to beautify and localize it from beginning to end.

If you don't get involved anymore, after Guanghua IC's production capacity is up, then TSMC will have no effect at all!

"However, if we want to cooperate with Guanghua, the capital will definitely not let go of this opportunity, and even the lion will speak loudly!" Dean Jiang said bitterly.

Dean Jiang's IQ, who had recovered right now, was immediately online.

"Then Dean Jiang has any clever tricks?" Zhang Zhongmou let out a sigh, took a sip from his teacup.

Dean Jiang was speechless for a while, but still said anxiously: "This way we will offend Washington!"

"Offend Washington? Actually, it's not all." Zhang Zhongmou raised his brow and said.

"Oh, how do you say?" Vice President Xie asked.

"As far as I know, Apple is also very concerned about Guanghua. In order to get the photon screen, it did not hesitate to let Wall Street change some of the restrictions on Huaxing."

"We want to live, and Apple wants to live, too. What Washington has to face is the gang of Wall Street guys. The result is hard to say."

Vice President Xie nodded thoughtfully.

Only Dean Jiang shook his head like a rattle, and said with a bit of mouth:

"No way, no way, Xiao Cai would not agree to it, and it's not good to be too close to the other side."

"Xiao Cai disagrees?"

Deputy Dean Xie sneered and stood up suddenly, looking down at Dean Jiang.

"The interests of TSMC are not what she can do with Xiao Cai!"

After speaking, he directly ignored the pig-like teammate and reached out to Zhang Zhongmou and Liu Deyin.

"I will contact those companies on this matter. As for the other side and Guanghua, the Executive Yuan will also initiate an invitation to each other to make an appointment to sit down and discuss the conditions. But our own chip research and development can't be left behind. It is better to have If you have your own technology, I'll leave it to you."

"Hey, I can only say that I did my best." Zhang Zhongmou sighed helplessly.

A meeting ended unhappily~www.wuxiahere.com~ After the two left, Zhang Zhongmou went back to Hsinchu directly. As for President Jiang, he left the Executive Yuan and went straight to a certain mansion to find Xiao Cai to report the situation.

Vice President Xie visited several families.

Xiao Cai is nominally the leader of the Baodao area, but there are some things that Xiao Cai can't decide.

That night, after Xiao Cai answered a few calls, there was a crackling sound in the room.

Three days later.

Treasure Island still sent an invitation to the other side.

The countdown to the four-party talks was held.
