1991 Starting from the core

Su Yuanshan slumped on the sofa and kept rubbing his eyebrows. Lin Yonggu asked him to fulfill his request before he casually asked for "a few drinks", but he drank a few drinks with him... This was really too much for his current body. However, it also gave Chen Jianguo a chance to help him up and let the two brothers talk alone.

"The lithography machines we have access to there now all have a line width of 1 micron, and their latest lithography machine has a line width of 0.5 microns." Chen Jianguo sighed with a wry smile: "But even so, those at Huajing I’m still so excited.”

"There's nothing we can do." Su Yuanshan opened his eyes, his eyes clear again: "It's mainly because of the long experience. After Huajing introduces the production line, he will go back directly and become a proficient person."

"Huajing approved it?" Chen Jianguo was surprised. He knew that Su Yuanshan had been helping Huajing.

"Before I left, I had a phone call with Vice President Ma and asked what I needed to bring. It turned out that I had nothing to bring, but he told me that 908 should be available soon. But the funds should be in the form of special loans, and ..." Su Yuanshan laughed as he said: "And the damn foreign exchange center is shameless and has always been thinking about my foreign exchange."

Thanks to Yang Yiwen's family connections and Yuanxin's arguments, Yuanxin retained its own foreign exchange quota to a large extent when it opened a foreign exchange account.

Chen Jianguo laughed out loud: "Is it possible that the Administration of Foreign Exchange asked us to lend foreign exchange to Huajing?"

"This is what Vice President Ma heard about, but it's not a loan, it's an exchange." Su Yuanshan chuckled and said, "But this year we were going to use foreign exchange to buy land and build a building, and we were also going to build a factory in the mainland. It's just a matter of personal favor. good."

"Well. What about Mei Jie? I'm curious why they came to us."

Su Yuanshan sat up straight and smiled softly.

"It's nothing more than money and technology. Although Intel bought our EDA, it is said that the CPU they are developing still uses Synopsys, which means that they will complete the design soon. It also means that they will give out the specifications to the board soon. It’s a card manufacturer. Otherwise, if you release a new CPU and it doesn’t have a matching motherboard, it will be so shameless?”

"Mei Jie suffers from the disadvantage of not having any technical skills. It's normal for him to want to hug us."

In the restaurant box, the food and wine have been removed, and the waiter has brought tea.

Chen Daohua's eyebrows furrowed into the character "Sichuan".

"Brother Lin, please analyze what Xiao Su always means."

Lin Yonggu blew the foam and shook his head after a long time: "I only know that Yuanxin is not short of money."

Chen Jing on the side said softly: "I briefly checked their EDA sales from last year to this year. According to their pricing method, they have at least nearly 100 million US dollars in sales from October to now. How can there be no money - Mainland wages Prices and construction costs are so low, and I haven’t heard that they want to invest in a fab.”

"He actually has the nerve to say that I am a rich man." Chen Daohua sighed.

Lin Yonggu chuckled: "Don't tell me, based on the salary, any person on the island is really rich when he goes to the mainland."

"Let's not talk about whether we are rich or not. Xiaojing has made a rough calculation and found that the shortfall for building the factory is almost five million US dollars. Can Brother Lin think of a way?"

"So much?" Lin Yonggu was surprised: "I remember that three years ago... Asus, it seemed like it only had NT$2 million when it was founded, right?"

"We are going to build a big factory directly." Speaking of ASUS, Chen Daohua frowned again.

The little guys from Asus developed the 486 motherboard half a year before the old guys like them, and then everything went smoothly, with monthly shipments reaching 30,000 units in more than a year.

This has exceeded the shipment volume of Meijie OEM motherboards.

Although Su Yuanshan praised himself very much, Lin Yonggu knew that in the current motherboard market, he could only be regarded as a fading hero. If you don't change your mind, sooner or later you will be stepped on by the likes of elite ASUS and Gigabyte.

And Chen Daohua also knows that the reason why these rising stars can rise so quickly is largely because they all have technical skills - once they cooperate with Yuanxin, the design aspect will be guaranteed, and they will not be unable to keep up with Intel's new technologies. CPU pace.

Lin Yonggu thought for a long time and said softly: "I only have more than 400,000 US dollars here. According to your needs, investing it is just a drop in the bucket. And Brother Chen, I think since you have found Yuanxin, why not just ask It depends on how sincere the other party is and how much money and shares they can accept.”

Chen Daohua sighed: "We'll see it tomorrow."

…

In the afternoon, Lin Yonggu and Chen Jianguo flew back directly. For convenience, the Chen Daohua brothers also stayed at the hotel where Su Yuanshan and the others stayed. After Pan Xiaojun and Sun Xihui returned, the five of them had dinner together.

The next day, Pan Xiaojun and Sun Xihui continued to work at the branch, and they did not forget to call Liang Xiaoliang from SZ to come to Luohu to pick up Su Yuanshan and the other three.

The car Liang Xiaoliang drove was a Mazda. Su Yuanshan was sitting in the passenger seat, occasionally turning his head to chat with Chen Daohua. More often, Liang Xiaoliang slowly drove the car to introduce them to the local situation.

"Mr. Chen, where we are now is Luohu. Because it is close to Xiangjiang, trade is the main area. As for electronics companies, they are more concentrated in Futian. I will take you there to have a look. Haha, just say that you are here for investment. From the factory, my car can be driven directly into the government, and then the official will see the official, and the green light will be given all the way. You don’t even need to get out of the car, I can take you to see the land.”

Chen Daohua nodded with a smile: "Then let's go see the ground now without alerting the leaders."

Chen Jing was not fooled by Liang Xiaoliang's bragging, and pursed her lips and smiled: "What about tax policies and land acquisition fees?"

"It depends on your nature. Let's put it this way. Anyway, there are discounts, and these can be negotiated with the government. Especially for IT companies like yours, if they can introduce advanced production lines and technologies, the government will like it even more. ." Liang Xiaoliang chuckled and said, "Even the district chief has asked me several times if Yuanxin can set up a development center here? I said this has to be decided by the higher-ups."

Su Yuanshan said with a smile: "It is better to engage in development in provincial cities and remote rural areas. Salaries and prices are cheap - if I were not afraid of starving, I would like to open the R\u0026D center to the Gobi Desert."

Liang Xiaoliang laughed.

Mazda drove along the highway to Futian District, where various electronics factories were adjacent to each other. Trucks and cars came and went quickly on the road. Young employees wearing factory uniforms could occasionally be seen walking in a hurry on the roadside.

When they passed the end of the factory area and approached an undeveloped wasteland, Chen Daohua told Liang Xiaoliang to pull over.

Standing by the roadside, Chen Daohua looked around and took a deep breath.

Along the way, he was very satisfied with the operating conditions of the surrounding factories and the performance of the workers, which showed that this was a fast-paced and dynamic industrial area.

"Mr. Su, how is this land?"

"Very good." Su Yuanshan glanced at his sister, who had just graduated from the University of California, Berkeley, with a master's degree in economics, and said with a smile, "How much is Mr. Chen prepared to invest?"

Chen Daohua said in a deep voice: "Nine million US dollars."

Su Yuanshan raised his eyebrows, slightly surprised: "Big deal, how many tablets can be produced annually?"

"Six to eight hundred thousand."

Su Yuanshan silently calculated and found that if Intel didn't make any mistakes, then the market of 800,000 pieces could really be digested - of course, the premise was that Chen Daohua had enough channels.

After thinking about it, Su Yuanshan decided to get straight to the point.

"How much is the difference? Brother Chen will give you an accurate estimate."

Chen Daohua also went all out and looked at Su Yuanshan with a calm face: "To reach the scale, it will take about five million."

Su Yuanshan frowned.

Chen Jing also looked at him and said softly: "Isn't Mr. Su worried about our channels?"

Su Yuanshan turned around, a little surprised that this girl could tell at a glance that he was "just" worried about whether he could sell it...

Chen Jing smiled slightly, raised her hand, and slowly curled her fingers.

"First of all, we are the first professional motherboard factory on the island, with credibility and strength."

"Secondly, we have marketing offices in California, the Netherlands, and Germany."

"In the end, as long as we come in, it should be easy to win the mainland market."

Su Yuanshan tilted his head and smiled slowly.

"Okay! You have the final say."

Chen Jing was slightly startled, wondering if Su Yuanshan's "you have the final say" was a joke or something else.

"Yuanxin can provide money, but don't think about technology holding shares - otherwise Yuanxin will also use technology to hold shares. Brother Lin must have told you that we have the ability to design any chip."

Su Yuanshan stopped laughing and looked at her calmly.

"Then you have the final say on the business."
