1991 Starting from the core

"Mr. Xiao Su, I'm sorry for the long wait."

"No, no, please, Mr. Chen." Su Yuanshan shook hands with Chen Daohua with a smile, and turned his eyes to the young girl behind Chen Daohua: "Who is this?"

"My name is Chen Jing." The girl was wearing a purple long windbreaker and a white turtleneck with a very quiet and beautiful face. Seeing Su Yuanshan's hesitation, she pursed her lips and smiled, and stretched out her hand generously: "Mr. Xiao Su is really Young and promising.”

Su Yuanshan stretched out his hand and felt that the girl's hand was cold. He smiled and shook his head: "Thank you, please."

After a while of greetings, Chen Daohua glanced at Lin Yonggu first, and then looked at Su Yuanshan with burning eyes.

Su Yuanshan knew that the ambition of the big man who established SOYO (Meijie) six years ago was beginning to expand.

Su Yuanshan's previous experience at Intel allowed him to have contact with board card manufacturers and understand the history of many board card manufacturers. In particular, SOYO, the pioneer in front of us, decisively gave up the domestic market in 2000 and turned to the west.

As a result, we were unable to overtake Asus and MSI, which are also enemies on the island. At the same time, we also had to face the squeeze from foreign indigenous brands such as ELSA and EVGA. In front of the island's board manufacturers, ELSA and EVGA were really the only ones. Can be considered indigenous.

By 2003, this man desperately wanted to return to the mainland, but it was already a hundred years since he looked back. At that time, Asus had become the noble Asus, followed closely by Gigabyte, MSI, Zotek, Panying (Panzheng), etc. Even the OEM market was completely monopolized by Elite motherboards - Fantasy Company used all Elite motherboards at that time.

As a result, this professional motherboard factory, which was almost the first to be established on the island and the first to create a motherboard brand, came to an end. Even the registered trademark was sold a few years later.

But now...SOYO is really the king and the originator of the DIY concept.

But what kind of strange wind made Mr. Chen Daohua think of setting up a factory in the mainland at this time?

…

"I don't know much about motherboards." Su Yuanshan held tea in both hands, with a faint smile on his slightly thin face: "But I have heard about Mr. Chen's SOYO. SOYO has the largest shipment volume on the island. , is also the most influential motherboard manufacturer. Just because he dares to stand up to giants like Compaq and IBM and print his LOGO on the motherboard, Mr. Chen is a hero in the eyes of those of us who are engaged in technology."

"Haha! It's far less famous than Mr. Su in Las Vegas." Chen Daohua laughed.

Yuanxin EDA is basically the first purchase target of these motherboard manufacturers. After using EDA, Chen Daohua knew how powerful the technical strength was behind the young man in front of him who looked younger than his sister. And he also knew that this young man became famous in Las Vegas last year and was called the Wonder Boy by foreigners.

Being praised by such a person naturally made Chen Daohua very happy. But Chen Daohua immediately straightened up his expression: "Mr. Su, we are all technical people, so we won't flatter each other."

Su Yuanshan smiled and nodded: "Well, I would like to ask Mr. Chen to share his thoughts. Although I am very happy, and I know that the local government is also extremely happy to see talented people like Mr. Chen come to the mainland to cooperate in setting up factories. But according to the current domestic situation In terms of spending power, the market is far inferior to that in the west.”

"Yes, that's right." Chen Daohua nodded naturally: "The current computer market is mainly concentrated in Europe, America, Japan and the Four Little Dragons. But it is these Four Little Dragons... that make the current labor cost on the island a bit ridiculously high."

Su Yuanshan understood immediately when he heard it. Although he had been engaged in technology in his previous life, he had also heard that wages on the island would not increase for 30 years.

This is the period when the island's economy is developing most rapidly. Even the janitor earns NT$20,000 a month... which is about NT$5,000 when converted into RMB. Workers in motherboard factories who require certain electronic skills can earn a monthly salary of at least NT$40,000.

As for the current mainland... let's put it this way, not counting project rewards and only counting wages, the average technician at Yuanxin only has more than a thousand technicians. But even so, Yuanxin is currently the company with the highest salary level in the mainland.

"So I plan to set up a motherboard factory in the mainland first to see the situation. If the situation is good, the production lines can be moved to the mainland in the future." Chen Daohua paused, stared at Su Yuanshan and said: "But at present, our policy towards the mainland is a little more environmentally friendly. I don’t understand either. So…”

"Yes." Su Yuanshan nodded: "That's right, Mr. Chen. The mainland is now intensifying its reform efforts, and there must be great benefits in terms of policies. As for the environment, you can follow me and take a look."

"SZ is a special zone. During the Spring Festival..."

Chen Daohua immediately said: "We heard about it."

Su Yuanshan chuckled: "Your spies are quite professional."

Pfft... Chen Jing, who had been listening over there, couldn't help laughing. She covered her mouth, her eyes rolled, and she smiled apologetically at Su Yuanshan.

Su Yuanshan smiled at Chen Jing and continued: "So if you want to set up a factory, I still recommend setting it up here in SZ. If you are really worried, you can join a joint venture with our Yuanxin. After all, Yuanxin already has a branch in SZ, which is barely able to stand firm. We have a good foothold and have a good relationship with the surrounding electronics factories.”

Chen Daohua couldn't help but nodded, his eyes gradually brightened.

This is why he dragged Lin Yonggu to find Su Yuanshan. No other company can match the relationship between Yuanxin, which has a "monopoly" position in EDA, and those electronics factories.

And the motherboard is a product that requires a large number of components. Although the quality of components in the mainland is generally not as good as that in Japan, this is more in line with Chen Daohua's strategy for the future - motherboards are divided into high-end and low-end, and the high-end will enter the United States, Japan and Europe. The middle and low-end invade the Four Little Dragons and then penetrate into developing countries.

After Su Yuanshan finished speaking, he took a sip from the tea cup and finally looked at Chen Daohua: "And... I remember an economist named James said that eggs should not be put in one basket. Yuanxin here also has... certain chips The design capabilities will then complement the design of the island.”

Chen Daohua didn't expect Su Yuanshan to be so cheerful, and immediately said in a deep voice: "Okay! It's settled then! When can we go to investigate together?"

"Anytime is fine, I'll probably stay here for a week."

"What about tomorrow?"

Seeing the eagerness in Chen Daohua's eyes, Su Yuanshan couldn't help laughing: "Okay, okay, you are a guest, anything is okay."

Everyone laughed.

"But Mr. Chen, Yuanxin is going to build a new electrical appliance factory here, and there is also a science and technology park to be built, so...you have to come up with the bulk of the investment in the new factory."

Chen Daohua immediately stopped smiling and frowned: "Can't we get a loan?"

"If foreign capital just comes in and lends money, I'm afraid it will leave a bad impression on the local government." Su Yuanshan spread his hands and said: "You have to know... the country is very poor at the moment, and I really hope that you rich people will invest."

"Compared to Yuan Xin, we are just beggars." Chen Daohua laughed at himself.

"Mr. Chen is too modest."

Chen Daohua shook his head with a smile and glanced at his sister: "Well, let's not talk about this in a hurry. Let's examine the environment in the mainland first."
