Rebirth 2006, creating a super consortium

Zhang Ze is not opposed to transactions, but the premise must be reasonable transactions.

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Ze looked at An Xin with interest and asked, "A project investment of no less than 300 billion RMB? What exactly is the project?"

An Xin didn't hesitate and directly told the whole story: "Semiconductors!"

"semiconductor?"

Zhang Ze frowned upon hearing this, and after thinking quickly, he shook his head slightly and said, "Xiao An, I'm really not trying to discourage you. If you want to develop the semiconductor industry, 300 billion RMB is really not enough!"

"Moreover, the semiconductor industry is not about how much money it has. The biggest problem is that the international semiconductor giants have already set up layers of obstacles in the relevant process routes. Every step forward we take will cost us a huge price!"

"Take SMIC for example. I heard that TSMC has already started trial production of 65nm process technology, and giants like GlobalFoundries and Intel are also using 80nm process technology. So where is our SMIC?"

"130nm!"

“130nm、110nm、90nm、80nm、65nm，算起来，中芯国际距离最先进的制程工艺可是落后了整整三代！”

"And this is not the most desperate thing. Do you know what the most desperate thing is?"

"Because of some invisible political factors, it is difficult for us to buy relevant production equipment even if we have a lot of money. If we want to buy relevant production equipment through formal channels, we will not only have to pay a huge economic price, but also need to make certain concessions at the political level!"

"I'm not exaggerating, this is the reality that I've already encountered!"

At this point, Zhang Ze paused for a moment and sighed helplessly, "To be honest, the semiconductor industry is difficult! Really difficult! It's as difficult as climbing to the sky!"

An Xin stared at Zhang Ze in a daze, with an expression of great surprise on her face!

No, Zhang Ze is not a technocrat, so why does she know so much about the semiconductor industry?

Moreover, he even knows the latest situation of SMIC!

As if seeing An Xin's thoughts at the moment, Zhang Ze smiled and said, "I am personally very interested in the semiconductor industry, so I usually pay more attention to relevant information in this industry!"

That's it!

An Xin nodded in sudden realization, sorted out her thoughts, and slowly said, "Secretary Zhang, our semiconductor industry is indeed in a very embarrassing position at the moment, but I think whether it is embarrassing or pessimistic, we still have to bite the bullet and move forward. Otherwise, if we face the confrontation between the East and the West in the future, we will most likely suffer a great loss!"

"Besides, although the difficulties SMIC is currently facing are certainly affected by other factors, the real reason is probably internal strife, right?"

"There are too many shareholders, the management is not in harmony, the technical team has serious technical differences, and the sand that peers deliberately infiltrate. Frankly speaking, I don't think a company with such a complex internal structure like SMIC can survive!"

An Xin's words immediately silenced Zhang Zegan.

The most outrageous thing is that An Xin was not wrong!

The extremely fierce internal strife at SMIC has caused the central government a lot of headaches!

It’s simply impossible to know where to start!

After a moment of silence, Zhang Ze regained his good mood and slowly said, "The situation of SMIC is quite complicated. The higher authorities can only handle related issues with a cautious attitude, but I believe that as time goes by, this problem will eventually be resolved. By then..."

An Xin couldn't listen any longer and interrupted directly, "Secretary Zhang, is it useful? Excuse me, by the time the higher authorities are really determined to deal with SMIC's internal problems, it will be too late!"

"We are only three or four generations behind the top process technology. At least we can try our best to catch up. But if we continue to delay, the gap will probably be more than three or four generations!"

"Secretary Zhang, if you take one step slower, time really won't wait for anyone!"

Zhang Ze frowned and opened his mouth slightly, but in the end he couldn't say anything.

Since we have come to this point, An Xin did not intend to hold back any more and immediately added: "Secretary Zhang, I am actually not interested in whether the outcome of SMIC is good or bad!"

"I just want to gradually promote my semiconductor industry plan in the next five years!"

"To be honest, I am willing to pay any price for this semiconductor industry plan!"

"If you want money, give me money. If 300 billion is not enough, then 500 billion, or even 1000 billion is no problem!"

"As for talent, teachers and students from top universities, top scientists and top engineers in the same field, as long as they are willing to come, they will be paid the best in the industry! If they have additional requirements, as long as they are within the scope permitted by law, I can handle them all. If some talents still have other concerns, it doesn't matter. I can personally go to their homes to answer their related concerns and completely solve their worries, so that they can come to work without any worries!"

"As for the related equipment, if they can't get it through regular channels, that's fine. Even if they have to steal or rob, I will get it for them in the end!"

As if feeling that his determination was not enough, An Xin said excitedly: "Finally, I reiterate that I am willing to pay any price for the semiconductor industry plan. Note that it is any price!"

Looking at An Xin who seemed a little excited on the opposite side, Zhang Ze's mood was extremely complicated for a moment.

Perhaps due to the limitations of the times, although Zhang Ze knew that the semiconductor industry was very important, he really couldn't presuppose a very specific possibility as to how important it was.

Therefore, what Zhang Ze felt more deeply about An Xin's determination and paranoia at this moment was not understanding, but emotion!

I am impressed by Anxin's perseverance and her determination to never give up until she achieves her goal!

After about a minute or two, Zhang Ze stared at An Xin with sharp eyes and slowly said, "Xiao An, to be honest, through my continuous understanding of you, I have seen a glimmer in you that is different from other businessmen. This is really rare, and this is the fundamental reason why I admire you so much!"

"Regarding the semiconductor industry plan you proposed, I can give you a guarantee. As long as you dare to try it, I am willing to give you the greatest help within my ability, and I can also help you completely clear the relevant political obstacles on this road!"

"As for the funding issue of the steel industry base project, well, to be honest, I still can't give you an unrestricted regional operating license, but I can consider giving you a restricted regional operating license!"

"Oh?"

An Xin's eyes lit up slightly, and she instantly knew that today's trip was not in vain!
