1991 Starting from the core

A week later, Su Yuanshan and Qin Weimin’s YX01 team went to Xiangjiang together.

Sun Xihui was extremely happy to see Su Yuanshan and others. She had booked a hotel for everyone early and arranged a reception banquet.

After the banquet, the three of them went to the rooftop cafe and chatted while admiring the night view of Hong Kong.

"Sister Sun, what's the price of the land here? Can I get it?"

"With my layman's perspective, I can foresee that the land price here will be very high in the future, let alone other people." Sun Xihui elegantly picked up the coffee cup, took a sip and said with a smile: "Take it It’s available, but it’s too expensive.”

Su Yuanshan nodded. Now is the period when real estate in Xiangjiang is booming. Even if you want to build a factory in the electronics industry and obtain land, the price will not have any advantage. In fact, it is the continuous embezzlement, defrauding and extortion of several real estate giants. As a result, Xiangjiang's originally large-scale electronics manufacturing industry shrank rapidly and eventually disappeared completely.

These predatory predators did not suffer any losses even in the financial crisis - the real estate crashed, and those who jumped from the buildings were only ordinary people and small speculators.

Su Yuanshan's plan is to buy a piece of land and keep it while the real estate market is not completely crazy now, and rely on the special location and nature of Xiangjiang to build a wafer factory. That way he will encounter much less resistance.

It's just that he still underestimated the greed of the real estate giants and the government's short-sightedness. In addition, the business in Xiangjiang is purely agency-based. Currently, there is only running water available and no money to be made. If he really wants to buy land now, he still has to wait for Yuanxin. Inject money here.

"It depends on the situation here. If the policy is favorable, buy it. If it doesn't work, forget it. It's not a good place in the first place." Su Yuanshan smiled: "As for business, we will do more research later. After all, domestic companies need a window to the outside world. We can handle a lot of business.”

Sun Xihui smiled and said: "Yes, I understand, we are just compradors now."

Hearing her reveal the essence of Xiangjiang Xinghai, Su Yuanshan and Qin Weimin laughed together.

"Don't look down on compradors. With the reform and opening up in the future, a large number of domestic companies will enter the field of foreign trade, and a large number of foreign products will also enter the country. As long as it is done well, we can pull out a duvet just by plucking the feathers of a goose. Come to the factory." Su Yuanshan smiled and said: "And Xiangjiang's attention is not limited to electronic products. We can grab all the Western brands that hope to enter the mainland and even the entire Southeast Asia. For example, luxury goods, cosmetics , daily chemical products and the like..."

"No problem, you have the final say."

The three of them chatted casually until late at night before going back to their rooms.

The next day, teams from Sony and Silicon Valley arrived almost immediately. After Su Yuanshan convened a meeting with members of the three parties as a landlord, he went straight onto the plane to San Francisco.

…

"Senior brother, sister-in-law!"

As expected, the young couple Tang Wenjie and Yang Yiwen came to pick them up.

Perhaps due to acclimatization or excessive pressure, Tang Wenjie looks thinner than in China. But he is still much bigger than Su Yuanshan. He pulled Su Yuanshan over, patted Su Yuanshan's back hard and said with a smile: "Teacher, too, he actually asked you to come alone."

"Aren't you here?" Su Yuanshan let go of Tang Wenjie and looked at Yang Yiwen: "Sister-in-law, give me a hug."

"You brat." Yang Yiwen laughed and patted his shoulder lightly: "You and your senior brother have both lost weight recently."

"Isn't that true? Senior brother or sister-in-law knows how to love people."

"Of course! Don't you know whose wife it is?" Tang Wenjie smiled proudly, picked up Su Yuanshan's salute and walked towards the parking lot.

Su Yuanshan and Yang Yiwen were walking side by side. He said softly: "Sister-in-law, how is the progress here? Last time, Brother Xi said that the shareholders of Cyrix seemed to be trying to cause trouble."

"Well, the main reason is that Cyrix has already received a round of financing, and National Semiconductor has 15% of the shares in it."

"Oh!" Su Yuanshan suddenly realized.

No wonder Cyrix was sold directly to National Semiconductor before going public a few years later, and they hooked up with Dareux in the A round...

Yang Yiwen said: "National Semiconductor was relatively optimistic about Cyrix at that time, because Klaus did have FPU technology in his hands. But I didn't expect that Intel and AMD were not fuel-efficient, and their technology soon caught up."

"I heard that Cyrix countersued Intel for infringing their FPU patent. According to your analysis, are they likely to win the lawsuit?"

Yang Yiwen stopped, was silent for a few seconds, and then shook her head: "To be honest, if we follow our domestic laws and have a fair and just trial, both sides will have to fight fifty-fifty, because they both involve the fact of infringement. But here Pay more attention to legal interpretation and extension - to put it bluntly, the judge will consider it more, and it all depends on what the lawyers on both sides say."

Su Yuanshan nodded slowly and smiled: "It's okay, I bet they will settle out of court."

"I have this hunch too."

"Hey! My sister-in-law is still smart. I have never seen anyone who thinks the same as me."

"Ha! You are so good at coaxing people, have you deceived a little girl?"

"There is no place to show..."

…

After getting in the car, because Tang Wenjie didn't have a driver's license, Yang Yiwen drove instead. Tang Wenjie and Su Yuanshan sat in the back and chatted about interesting things that happened recently. When he heard that Su Yuanshan had chosen applied physics, Tang Wenjie exaggeratedly held his head and turned around. Open it up and take a look at what's inside.

After returning to Silicon Valley, Su Yuanshan briefly met with everyone and then went back to the villa to catch up on jet lag and sleep so that everyone could sort out the information.

The next morning, he woke up to the smell of the breakfast prepared by Qin Si.

In the living room, Xi Xiaoding, Chen Haoming, Tang Wenjie, Qin Si, and Yang Yiwen have all gotten up. In addition, Carly is also present.

Among the six people, except for Tang Wenjie who was setting up breakfast, the other five were discussing in low voices.

Seeing Su Yuanshan walk out of the room, Xi Xiaoding waved to him: "Come here, let's sort out the relationship here."

"what relationship?"

"About the relationship between National Semiconductor and Cyrix, as well as the relationship with Texas Instruments mentioned last time." Carly also smiled at Su Yuanshan: "Xiao BOSS, you said that Yuanxin can reach a strategic partnership with Texas Instruments, was it premeditated, or was it... Any luck?"

"Oh! I just said it casually."

Su Yuanshan pulled a chair and sat down with a smile.

Everyone looked at him.

Xi Xiaoding smiled and shook his head: "National Semiconductor holds shares in Cyrix, and Cyrix's CPU is manufactured by Texas Instruments. And the president and even the earliest founder of National Semiconductor... are from Texas Instruments. So, we only need to win over Texas Instruments , then everything will be easier to handle.”

Su Yuanshan thought for a moment.

"That seems to be the case."

Of course that’s the case! Because National Semiconductor sold it to Texas Instruments after it couldn't survive!

There is another important factor in establishing a good relationship with Texas Instruments.

There is someone he must get.
