Reborn In the Tokyo Bubble Era

   Chapter 430 He gave too much

Hearing Stevenson's joke, Tao Yaren smiled and said, "That's right! Iwasaki Ryusuke said that Ueda-kun is a person who values ​​reputation very much. Although Tao Dalang was in Neon before, he was suspected of having affairs with some women around him. , but did not go too far. Even the president of Onodera Fortune was secretly sent to the United States to prepare for giving birth. At least on the surface, he did not have any scandals with female stars in Neon. But In Fragrant Island, he was much more presumptuous."

After explaining it, Tao Yaren said solemnly: "So I suggest that in addition to the plan of the Sanyou Consortium on Neon's side, we should support him to continue to increase investment in Xiangdao! Tao Dalang's investment in Xiangdao is greater. , the center of gravity is about Xiangdao, the more presumptuous it will be on Xiangdao, the more dissatisfaction it will cause the Ueda family! And his foundation on Xiangdao is not as strong as that of Neon! We exert influence on Xiangdao, and also It’s much easier than in Neon, at least it won’t be resisted by a group like the Neon Consortium!”

  Stevenson thought for a while, and then said approvingly: "Yaren, you did a good job!"

   Taoya smiled happily.

   Li Jiacheng is indeed a person who can manage the industry to such a large extent. Although he has not been able to figure out the extent of Tao Zhiming's strength in the end, this analysis of the overall situation is very reasonable and directly points to the hearts of the people.

   "Everyone, what's your opinion?" Stevenson looked at the others in the room.

   "In the secondary market, funds should also be prepared to purchase bank bonds at a low price."

   "The follow-up development of Columbia Pictures must be arranged to contain it so that it will not be quickly reversed by the Neon people."

   "It's okay to support his development in Xiangdao, but you need to arrange the right people to enter the board of directors of his companies in Xiangdao, so as to make some troubles in the future to distract him..."

   "If he wants to engage in semiconductor foundry, he must cooperate with a chip design company, which can create traps for him."

   "Although he sees the bubble in the neon stock market, we can also try to target him, at least make his expected return lower than before and expand his financial pressure."

  “…”

   These people, you started talking one by one.

   In the final analysis, 20% of the shares will not satisfy their appetite.

  Tao Zhiming has so much monopoly on one person. Although the current plan does require him to do it, he should also be prepared for kicking him to the edge in the future.

   The discussion here continued until the evening, and Tao Zhiming and Zhao Yuanxi finally met Zhang Rujing who returned to the hotel after the meeting at 9:00.

Zhang Rujing, who had called by phone, went straight to the cafe of the hotel, and when he saw the two of them were really sitting, he hurriedly said: "I didn't expect the two of you to come early, I don't know how long today's meeting will be, but it will be again tomorrow morning. I'm going to Idari, I'm so sorry for making you wait so long."

  Tao Zhiming smiled and shook hands with him and said, "Mr. Zhang really is as rumored. He is very enthusiastic about his work, and is highly valued by the head office. Why don't you take a break and go to Idali tomorrow?"

Zhang Rujing wore round glasses, and after he sat down, he replied, "No way, just get paid. Besides, I'm responsible for the construction of the new factory in Yidali. Take a breath."

   "Then I'm afraid I'll have to arrange for you to build another factory."

   Seeing that Zhao Yuanxi was going to order coffee, Zhang Rujing came back to his senses and asked, "Mr. Tao, don't you think you haven't eaten dinner yet?"

"I ate at the restaurant of the hotel." Tao Zhiming said casually, "Mr. Zhang, Lao Zhao has contacted you before, and I will tell you the truth. It's fine if you think I'm pretending to look at the cottage, but I'm really sincere. Invite Mr. Zhang to preside over my chip factory."

   Zhao Yuanxi also came back at this time. After sitting down, he said, "Mr. Zhang, the boss and I arrived at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and we have been waiting until now. Now that silicon chip has everything, we need an experienced person in charge."

Zhang Rujing said embarrassedly: "Mr. Tao, I've heard your name for a long time. I don't know what you think, but if you want to make chips, it's not like this. You two don't know much about chips, so you rashly I spent so much money..."

"That's why I need to find someone who understands." Tao Zhiming said with a smile, "and I just don't know the specific technology and craftsmanship, but the direction of the industry, I think there is no problem. Your old boss, Didn't Deyi's vice president also go back to Wando to build a foundry factory, Wan Semiconductor?"

   "How can I compare with Mr. Zhang..." Zhang Rujing shook his head, "Although Mr. Zhang also came from a technical background, he can be a vice president, and his business structure is much better than me."

   "In terms of business structure, does President Zhang think I will be worse than him?"

   Zhang Rujing was stunned, remembering his identity as a billionaire. But he was always a little disapproving in his heart. Neon people now all rely on real estate to make money. I am afraid there is some misunderstanding of chips. Wouldn't it be because he saw Zhang Zhongmu going to start a foundry, so he would go and start it? Even the model of President Zhang, the future is very uncertain now.

   Tao Zhiming stared at him.

   Zhang Rujing is a man of work. Later, he also saw that Zhang Zhongmou's model of setting up a foundry was successful, so he went back to Wandao to do the same thing. He was a small shareholder himself, and he did his job well, but he didn't know that the major shareholder sold the factory to Zhang Zhongmou. Later, when I set up a factory in the Mainland, I was also ordered to pay a lot of royalties.

   So he admits that he is not as good as Zhang Zhongmu, at least at this moment and before he suffers those losses in the future, it is true.

   However, with Tao Zhiming's current contacts, he really couldn't find a better candidate. What's more, Zhang Rujing was a little better. Later, he insisted on setting up a factory in the Mainland despite the pressure.

   "Mr. Zhang, what do you think of the OEM model?" Tao Zhiming simply talked to him about his profession. Such a person, if he wants to make him willing, he must not be looked down upon by him.

"...To be honest, the successful ones are all vertical models, which are designed, manufactured, packaged, and tested by themselves. Although there are also companies that specialize in chip design, those are all small troubles." Zhang Rujing said sincerely, "Tao Tao In general, Mr. Zhang is able to work as an OEM because he has a wide range of people. When he talks to others about OEM, they will at least let him try it. If he can really do a good job in terms of process quality, yield and cost, There will be space in the future, but this space is not very big. Now there are so many factories of big brands, we, Deyi, have a meeting today and plan to build 5 new factories in the next 10 years…”

   "The penetration rate of personal computers is close to 200 per thousand people in the United States, 50 for Neon, and more than 40 for Xiangdao. Now the growth rate of PC penetration far exceeds the growth rate of production capacity of chip brands."

   Zhang Rujing paused for a while, then smiled modestly: "Mr. Tao has done a lot of homework."

"I invested hundreds of millions of dollars in it, of course I have to do my homework." Tao Zhiming saw it more clearly than anyone in this era, and then said, "Mr. Zhang, what I see is the future, and it is the future. Cutting edge. Right now, I'm betting on two areas, CPU and flash."

   "...not DRAM and other mid-to-low-end chips?" Zhang Rujing is numb, the super-large-scale integrated circuit such as CPU, and the new concept of flash memory, isn't this purely a gamble?

"Anyway, if you come to me, firstly, you can be the general manager, and secondly, you can always play the most cutting-edge craftsmanship." Tao Zhiming added, "To tell you the truth, I also bought a lithography machine from Philips. A lot of shares in the company. I am also talking to them about the acquisition of the shares held by Philips on the Bay Semiconductor side.”

   "...So Mr. Tao still has to invest money to develop a more advanced lithography machine?"

   "Not only that, but I have also cooperated with Toshiba and NEC to set up a chip research and development company." Tao Zhiming nodded and said, "My determination to invest in this field, can Mr. Zhang understand?"

   How can Zhang Rujing not understand, the money is too much to burn.

Tao Zhiming threw the big killer directly again: "Mr. Zhang, as long as you are willing to come, I will give you three nodes of the silicon chip. As long as it can be put into production, I will directly give you 3% of the shares. You don't need to control the order, as long as I negotiate. You can complete the orders placed on time, according to the quality and quantity, and you have delivered 10 million pieces in total, and I will reward you with 2% of the shares. Later, if the silicon chip can make a profit, I will give you 10% of the options in one breath. . Before that, the annual salary is calculated at HK$3.65 million.”

   Zhang Rujing opened his mouth.

   Does this mean HK$10,000 a day?

   "...Mr. Tao, you look down on me too much..." Zhang Rujing even couldn't bear it, "This industry is really not as simple as you think..."

   "I know it's not that simple, so I sincerely asked Mr. Zhang to help me host." Tao Zhiming is a man who bought 24 million Hong Kong dollars for a woman's mansion. The money is coming too fast, why care about this? It is more important to collect talents, not to mention that the chip is related to the future plan.

   "...I'm really not worth the price right now." Zhang Rujing was rather guilty, so much money was nearly 500,000 yuan a year, which was much higher than his current income. In the United States, an annual income of more than 50,000 yuan is already a very good income, and an annual income of more than 100,000 yuan is even more comfortable. On Hong Kong Island, the house price is only more than 10,000 Hong Kong dollars per square meter, and this year's income is enough to buy two luxury houses.

"Whether Mr. Zhang is worth it depends on what you do later, and who you follow." Tao Zhiming said calmly, "Well, I will introduce my current layout to Mr. Zhang, and you will know that the silicon chip has There is no future. Although Texas Instruments is a big brand, the silicon chip in the future may not be false.”

  Tao Zhiming then began to introduce his relationship with Sumitomo, Mitsui and other consortiums to him, as well as the next step on the CD-ROM plan. This first step, even if the CPU and flash memory are a little slower, but the decoding chip for optical discs is at least the starting point.

   Later, Tao Zhiming also told him about the cooperation with Sony game consoles.

   In the CPU market at this time, there are multiple camps in terms of infrastructure. Later, the X86 architecture that unified Jianghu on personal computers was only one of the camps. But at the same time, the game console actually uses another camp, which is deeply customized and optimized in terms of hardware and software. For example, Apple's CPUs have adopted this line of thinking from the beginning.

Later, in order to prevent Intel's X86 architecture from unifying the rivers and lakes, Sony, Toshiba and IBM invested 4 billion yuan in the research and development of next-generation chips for PS3 game consoles in the first phase, but this Cell chip has considerable defects, which led to investment Sony's accumulated losses exceeded 3 billion yuan.

   Later, the CPU architecture based on the RISC camp has not been able to compete with the X86 architecture, and even Sony and Apple have invested in the X86 architecture.

   But before that, the CPU of game consoles is also a market that can be competed, and Tao Zhiming can get some opportunities from it because of his relationship with Mitsui now.

   In this process, it is more important to accumulate strength.

  Tao Zhiming has some money earned from other fields, put it into the hardware and software ecology of personal computers and future smart devices, and lay the foundation first.

   Hearing the resources that Tao Zhiming kept saying, Zhang Rujing could only be stunned.

  I thought that he was panicking because of the excess of money, but now it seems that the amount of money is really outrageous, and this fire is also going to be burned. Sounds like a tempting blueprint, but is it achievable?

   "You mean... In the next ten years, the total amount of funds planned to be invested in this field is estimated to be 10 billion yuan?" Zhang Ru Jing was numb.

   "Mr. Zhang doesn't believe in my determination and strength?"

"No..." Zhang Rujing thought that he was considered to have a strength of more than 3 billion yuan, and thought that in another 10 years, it would be very difficult to exceed 10 billion yuan. Besides, wouldn't that have to abandon all other industries, or borrow a lot of money money?

  Neon people really love gambling!

   No, he speaks Chinese quite well... Zhang Rujing asked: "Mr. Tao, I'm a little confused. If you really have such determination and strength, you can find someone more powerful than me now..."

   The annual salary of 3.65 million Hong Kong dollars a year, the first two nodes, the first one can be put into production is not a problem, 10 million chips, he also said that the order does not need to be managed by himself... Is that 5% of the shares equivalent to giving away soon? If he really has such outrageous resources, it is not too difficult for the chip factory to make a profit, then wouldn't he invite him with an annual salary of 3.65 million Hong Kong dollars plus 15% equity?

   The look behind Zhang Rujing's eyes was very uneasy, and he always felt a bit secretly underestimated.

  Tao Zhiming heard his question and said calmly: "Although I am mainly developing in Neon, my chip company is named Siyuan, and my surname is Tao. What did Mr. Zhang think of?"

   "The chip is originally made of silicon wafers, and the name is a good one..." Zhang Rujing thought about it for a while, then suddenly remembered that he said his surname was Tao, he was a little stunned, and looked at him quietly.

"The bird loves the old forest, and the pond fish thinks about the old abyss. Open up the wilderness and return to the garden." Tao Zhiming read a few words slowly, and then asked with a smile, "Mr. Zhang, if the silicon chip develops well, It's not just building a factory in Xiangdao."

   Zhang Rujing understood now, and remembered what his father often asked him: "When will you return to the mainland to build a factory?"

   He looked at Tao Zhiming, who smiled mildly, and looked at Zhao Yuanxi, who was calm beside him, and was very puzzled.

Tao Zhiming was not too shabby, he just said with a smile: "Since I want to invite Mr. Zhang over, I have done more than just understanding the semiconductor industry. I heard that Mr. Zhang has always had some long-cherished wishes. You are an expert in building factories. If a new factory is to be built in the future, and where it will be built, of course, it will be up to Mr. Zhang."

  "..." Zhang Rujing looked at him speechlessly.

  You're the boss, and you've said it all, so what are you doing?

   But yes, now I'm just inviting myself, no one is familiar with it.

   "I'm really a little guilty..."

   "Then either lower the treatment for you, or make a military order to be worthy of this treatment?" Tao Zhiming teased with a smile.

"I…"

  The big killer is still the big killer.

  There is a bright blueprint waiting for him, and an inexplicable feeling is driving him, these are all factors.

   But the most important thing is that Tao Zhiming gave too much...

  …

  's invitation to Zhang Rujing is actually not the first time, but it was done by Zhao Yuanxi before.

   It was determined that the silicon chip would be built, and the land was obtained from the Li family. Since the start of construction, Zhao Yuanxi has contacted him many times, and it has been several months before and after.

   Now Tao Zhiming went out in person, painted cakes, paid some hearts, and improved his treatment. For the sake of money, Zhang Rujing also felt that refusing the invitation was very stressful, and his conscience was difficult.

   Now that the production line of silicon chips is about to enter the market, a more knowledgeable person must be in charge of the overall situation.

  In Zhang Rujing's view, Tao Zhiming was just a lot of money and daring. When the person in charge did not have many years of experience in the industry, he just recruited some people who had not been in the industry for a long time and started to build a factory.

  The selected place also belongs to the water in the brain. Why do you want such a good plot to increase the cost? What's more, there are few industry talents in Xiangdao, which is really unwise.

   Faced with these questions, Tao Zhiming only told him that he would go to Xiangdao with him after resigning under the pretext of "being squeezed too hard and too tired".

   That night, Tao Zhiming left Zhao Yuanxi there, so he left Texas and flew back to Los Angeles.

   This time, instead of going back to the villa where Rana Onodera lived, I went directly to a hotel.

   knocked on the door, and Monica Bellucci was dressed casually again, just trying to be comfortable.

  Tao Zhiming smiled and said, "Sorry, I'm late."

   "It's already so late, and you're still here." Monica Bellucci was so sleepy that she yawned.

   After he finished talking with Zhang Rujing, it was almost early morning when he set off, so he could imagine when he arrived here.

   Looking at this lovely person who came from Yidali after answering the phone, Tao Zhiming blinked: "I haven't seen you for a long time, have you forgotten that I am addicted?"

   In the past two days, there were a lot of things, and the state was not good. I'm even more sorry. Today is 10,000, and I have the cheek to ask for votes.
