Reborn Tech Maniac

Chapter 929

The two started talking about the semiconductor industry, because Samsung Electronics has encountered some troubles in semiconductor memory—more precisely, the global DRAM industry has encountered trouble.

The reasons for this are hard to describe—for example, as a lower-level part of the semiconductor industry, the profitability of DRAM is increasingly dependent on the scale effect, and the undercurrent in the industry is brewing a reshuffle; another example, The memory used by personal computers dominated by Fangyuan Standard is shifting from "asynchronous" DRAM to "synchronous" DRAM, thus forcing DRAM manufacturers to compete for upgrades, which is also an invisible industry reshuffle.

In this round of changes, American companies are in a weak position in competition.

Tang Huan directly took out his own analysis results and said: "Companies including IBM and Motorola will definitely separate their original semiconductor departments in the next two to three years to improve the data in their financial reports; even if it was more than ten years ago One of the six major semiconductor companies, which almost brought down their American counterparts, must also be restructured."

Li Jianxi pondered: "What Tang means is that even on a global scale, the number of DRAM manufacturers will be reduced to a handful, and then a few companies will monopolize the DRAM industry."

"No, it's not enough to guarantee the desired profit level." Tang Huan nodded firmly, "It can be said that at this stage, in terms of DRAM, let alone the United States, not even one can compare South Korea is doing well—as long as Samsung Electronics can successfully sustain until the end of this round of industry reshuffle, it is hopeful that it will reach the top of the field and eventually reap far more profits than it is now.”

Li Jianxi smiled wryly, "Tang must have heard about the current collapse of the Korean financial system, which puts Samsung Electronics under pressure in terms of capital turnover—I wonder if Tang can help solve it."

"Today, Samsung Electronics' position in Fangyuan's computer supply chain is already very important—so, of course, I am willing to help you through the temporary difficulties." Tang Huan said happily: "But this time, I hope it can be exchanged for shares in Samsung Electronics."

"Of course there is no problem." Li Jianxi laughed dryly, "With Tang joining us, Samsung Electronics has the dual guarantee of capital and technology."

Tang Huan waved his hand and explained seriously: "I hope you don't take my request as a robbery—in fact, even if there is no Asian financial turmoil raging everywhere, I will strengthen the relationship with DRAM manufacturers. After all, when The DRAM industry is no longer contending with a hundred schools of thought as it used to be, and after it has been controlled by a few companies, companies such as Fangyuan and EA, which are parts buyers, are also more likely to be coerced."

Li Jianxi didn't promise how Samsung would behave in the future, and nodded slightly: "So, how much can Tang support?"

The richest man put down the mineral water bottle and asked, "How much do you need?"

Li Jianxi moved his lips and said to himself - the entire Samsung Group now has nearly 200 billion US dollars in debt. Of course, the more, the merrier.But you can't say that, how embarrassing it is!Moreover, if you want to check and balance, I also want to check and balance.

Seeing that the other party was weighing his words, Tang Huan patiently stopped urging him, and turned his gaze to the tennis court—Jin Liang and Yin Xin, who had already played a game of tennis, did not rest either. The former was carrying a small bucket, while the latter picked up a Looking at the tennis ball, aiming and throwing it in, and laughing like silver bells from time to time.

The richest man secretly sighed, "Young people are really carefree", and then raised his voice and asked, "How efficient is the two of you 'robbing' other people's jobs?"

Yin Xin took the tennis bucket from Jin Liang and showed off excitedly, "I'm pretty accurate."

Tang Huan nodded slightly, "Then count how many balls are in this tennis bucket now?"

After finishing speaking, Mr. Richest Man smiled at the head of Samsung next to him: "How many balls Yin Xin picked up just now, I will give out hundreds of millions of dollars—how about it?"

Of course, Li Jianxi would not object to such an "elegant" negotiation method, and readily agreed with a "yes".However, he already understood that he had to make a clear statement on the marriage between the two parties next.

In fact, the Li family will certainly not be unfamiliar with and conflict with marriage - Li Jianxi's eldest son, Li Jae-young, is going to marry the daughter of Lim Chang-wook, the chairman of South Korea's Daesang Group, who is well-matched. Kind of meaningful.

As for the relationship between Yin Xin and Jin Liang, the reason why they are vague and not expressing their views is nothing more than being reserved, even waiting for the price - now, it really should come in handy.

"Yeah, there are 18 balls." Cheering Yin Xin, pointing to the tennis balls neatly placed on the ground, said triumphantly: "Uncle, dad, look—it turns out that I shot very accurately. "

"You girl, you really have a pair of treasure-grabbing hands - this number is very pleasing!" Tang Huan laughed boldly, turned to ask the head of Samsung, "What do you think? If it's not enough, you can add more Let Yin Xin come and join us!"

"Samsung Electronics mainly invests heavily in emerging fields such as asynchronous dynamic random access memory, flash memory, and LCD panels. Overall, there is not such a big gap." Li Jianxi maintained his dignity euphemistically.

The richest man said leisurely: "Samsung Electronics can breathe a sigh of relief. Wouldn't Samsung Group be able to handle it more easily in other areas?"

Li Jianxi didn't refute - originally he wanted to find an opportunity to talk about Samsung Motors, but Tang Huan was obviously more interested in Samsung Electronics, and his daughter grabbed back 18 billion US dollars with a simple move, so he was full of money at this time The value of a Samsung car may not be worth 10 billion U.S. dollars, so there is no need to waste human affection and open its mouth once.

Seeing how lightly the richest man behaved, Li Jianxi had to admire the other party's ability to make money.

The reason why he came here at the first stop when he came to the United States this time is because it was confirmed that the merger of Datang Mobile Communications Company into Pacific Telecom in the first half of the year, and the just-announced acquisition of MCI by WorldCom for 370 billion US dollars brought great benefits to the Tang family. At least several billion dollars in cash receipts came.

What a blessing it is to be able to marry into such a powerful family!
Thinking of Li Jianxi here, he warmly invited: "Tang, if you have time, why not go to Korea now—maybe you can find other interesting things."

The head of Samsung is trying to pull himself. In South Korea, where the economy has collapsed so much that the people have lost confidence at this stage, encourage and cheer to show that Samsung has found Olympic aid!
Tang Huan didn't need to break the other party's mind, and he agreed, "You will also attend the APEC summit to be held in Vancouver, Canada this year, right? After we finish attending, how about leaving for South Korea together?"

Of course, Li Jianxi had no reason to refuse - his purpose of coming out this time could be said to be both real and false.The former is naturally for foreign aid with real money, while the latter is to engage in some face-saving projects to enhance people's confidence in Samsung.

And the close interaction with the world's richest man is enough to boost Samsung's confidence.

……

Tang Huan did not appear at this year's COMDEX Las Vegas Autumn Show. The reason is not that there are no products and technologies worthy of his personal cheering.

On the contrary, around the debut of the new platform of the sixth-generation Fangyuan personal computer, the entire ecosystem from office work to entertainment is in motion, and the spectacular scene of launching various supporting products is definitely called a thousand sails concurrently, and thousands of boats compete for success.

Take EA's well-known real-time strategy game "Fengshen" as an example, it showed a new expansion pack "Forsaken" for the next-generation PC platform with better performance.

Therefore, the entire COMDEX Las Vegas Fall Fair is not generally lively.

But the more this is the case, the more low-key Tang IT needs to be - it is not difficult to imagine that as soon as he shows up, he will be linked to the raging United States of America v. The gathering of industry authorities will inevitably become the handle of monopoly invisibly.

You know, people have already stated their position-it doesn't matter whether you have a natural monopoly or not, owning it is a sin!

Looking at all this from a distance, Tang Huan just sneered in his heart——now he wakes up and wants to weaken it, it's too late!I represent today's IT industry; and its application and influence have spread to every corner of the world, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it has penetrated into the bone marrow.

Under this general trend, if you move me, you will move IT!

If you don't believe me, let's see what is meant by destroying together!
……

Similar to the murderous intent hidden in the heart of the richest man, the fifth APEC summit held on the campus of the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada this year was not very peaceful.

It is not difficult to imagine that no matter where the students are, they are passionate, and there is also a kind of condescension caused by the superiority of developed regions in the world, and the "noise" cannot be ignored. The first person who bears the brunt is Indonesian President Suharto.

Canada also knows how much its economy depends on the United States, so the government led by the current Prime Minister Jean Chretien has been working hard to develop trade with Asian economies including China; Canada is hosting the APEC summit for the first time, so it is natural that it does not want any disturbances.

As a result, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, who maintained order, used pepper spray on the demonstrators who broke through the barricades, and the confrontation scene was quite lively.

Mr. Suharto, the richest man in Canada, who witnessed with his own eyes how vehemently and vehemently protested to Canada in order to maintain his dignity, looked on with cold eyes and muttered to himself - making a fuss is not without value!
With such an all-out event, the APEC summit, which was supposed to seriously discuss how to deal with the Asian financial crisis, was invisibly robbed of a lot of limelight - the two-day meeting did not produce any practical results. This is also why APEC You can't force it to be determined by someone else's mechanism.

No matter how disappointed those economies that are in dire straits are, the reality of dead Taoist friends and poor Taoists is so cruel - who makes you fail to live up to your expectations!

……

Tang Huan and Li Jianxi came to South Korea, which is currently in a gloomy state, after attending the APEC summit where nothing had been achieved.

How tragic is this?

From the perspective of ordinary people, before the Asian financial turmoil, the exchange rate of South Korean won to the US dollar was about 850:1; and the current US dollar can be exchanged for almost 1 won; and South Korea's foreign exchange reserves are almost exhausted.

Under such circumstances, in order to preserve the value of their wealth, ordinary people are eager to exchange for US dollars; and at the same time, the presidential election in South Korea is so noisy that the whole situation cannot be described in just one word.

Seeing this scene, the richest man shook his head repeatedly - how could the great Korean people be overwhelmed by such difficulties?You must work together as one and help each other!

After thinking for a while, Tang Huan gave some tips to Li Ying'ai and Shen Yinhe who were by his side.

Of course, the richest man still has to do business - when he and Li Jianxi came to South Korea, they first sent a signal that the Samsung Group did not seem to have caused a famine of nearly 200 billion US dollars, but it has attracted the richest man in the world to be its own Olympic aid. There is nothing to be afraid of anymore.

You must know that the reason why South Korea collapsed is also related to the development of the famine, and the short-term foreign debt of tens of billions of dollars will be repaid this year. The credit rating of the "Xiaolong" boss can be described as worse.

While helping Samsung stabilize people's hearts, Tang Huan also met with the outgoing South Korean President Kim Young-sam.The opponent who failed to deal with the Asian financial turmoil and whose son was involved in a corruption scandal has been cast aside by the people; and because he agreed to the strict conditions of the International Monetary Fund, he is almost scolded as a traitor—the South Korean president is indeed a high-risk occupation!
Because South Korea has suffered from dictatorship for a long time, the current South Korean president cannot be re-elected. In addition, the ruling party has destroyed the South Korean economy. Based on this, it can basically be predicted that in the current general election, the veteran veteran Kim Dae-jung will win.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this factor that the Kim Young-san government, which will not stay on stage for long, is a bit muddled and muddled, which makes the Korean economy look even more decadent.

The richest man could only shake his head and murmured in his heart - then let me increase my reputation and teach you how to unite.

Soon, the Korean media revealed a piece of news that was completely different from South Korea's poor economic situation and chaotic general election, so that it brightened people's eyes and boosted their spirits. The famous Korean female artists Lee Ying-ae and Shim Eun-ha donated the money they received this year to the country. The US dollars earned from shooting Fangyuan and EA advertisements even include some gold jewelry worn by individuals.

The influence of the advertisements of large international companies that are launched around the world is not small - just think about how many generations of Apple's iPhone in the original time and space, and then use the Chinese urban background to make advertisements.

Therefore, Li Yingai and Shen Yinhe, who have just filmed advertisements for the six-generation Fangyuan personal computer and the expansion pack of the real-time strategy game "Fengshen", have become famous in Korea.

Now, the two daughters showed their patriotism again, which immediately aroused the national pride of the majority of Koreans.

Dollars in hand, donate!
Ancestral gold jewelry, donate!
All to increase the foreign exchange reserves of the Republic of Korea!

The Korean media enthusiastically eulogized this greatness, which made people weep.

At the same time, Korea's first generation of national goddess - officially released!
