Chapter 1718 How much money is the richest man?

Author: Shihanjie

Grove showed an elusive smile.

Wang Lin talked with him for so long, and it was not until then that he understood Wang Lin’s true intentions here.

Grove said: "I don't know how far your domestic semiconductor development has reached? As far as I know, your country does not have a decent semiconductor company, right?"

Wang Lin said: "Mr. Grove, you should really go to our country to have a look. The changes since my country's reform and opening up have been huge. my country's latest launch of the 909 project is to develop the domestic backward semiconductor industry. You can understand Because the current semiconductor status in our country is equivalent to South Korea 10 years ago or the East 20 years ago."

Grove said: "Is that so? I should go out for a walk. Well, what good semiconductor companies do you have in China?"

Wang Lin said: "I want to recommend a semiconductor company to you. This company is located in the youngest city in my country and is also a cutting-edge city for the reform and opening up of my country. The commerce, industry and service industries are very developed, regardless of the external environment. , or the company's qualifications and strength can be used for you Intel."

Grove asked, "What company is it?"

Wang Lin said: "Aixiu Technology."

Grove said: "Aixu Technology? This name is so familiar? What is the relationship with your Aixu Group?"

Wang Lin smiled and said, "I am the boss of Aixu Technology."

Grove laughed.

Wang Lin said: "There is an old saying in our country that we should not avoid relatives. There is another idiom that is to recommend myself. Today I will learn the style of ancient benevolent people."

Grove said: "Mr. Wang Lin, thank you very much for your love for our company, but we are not short of OEM factories for the time being. I believe you also know that we signed TSMC not long ago."

Wang Lin said: "Before I came to the United States, I went to Canada. When I was in Canada, I visited Micro Systems International and learned about the development history of their company. They are producing DRAM for you. And you

So they were asked to manufacture OEM because the customer proposed that for safety reasons, they would not buy exclusive products and had to have a second alternative supply. Therefore, you chose Micro System International Company for

The second source of supply.”

Grove corrected his face, with a hint of surprise and a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

In order to convince Grove, Wang Lin did a lot of work in the early stage.

He went to Japan and South Korea to inspect and Canada to conduct inspections, which were all laying the foundation for today's conversation.

Only by knowing oneself and one’s enemy can one never be defeated in a hundred battles.

If Wang Lin wants to convince Grove, he must show his real talent and knowledge, and also show sincerity that can impress Grove.

Only by understanding the current situation of competitors, finding out their shortcomings, and showing their strengths can he convince a business godfather like Grove.

Grove felt Wang Lin's sincerity.

But he did not answer immediately, but pondered.

Wang Lin said: "As the best entrepreneur, Mr. Grove, I don't think you will ignore the huge market in China, and you won't let your competitors take the lead. An emerging market is for many All products are preconceived. When Coca-Cola entered my country, it made a lot of advertising, which gave its own inherent impression to consumers in my country: if you drink Coke, you have to drink Coca-Cola. Coca-Cola has become synonymous with Coke, such as Coke. .As someone mentions Coke, he will think of Coca-Cola at the first time.”

Seeing that Grove heard it very seriously and knew that he had spoken to the other party's heart, he continued: "The global chip market cannot be monopolized by Intel. You can only occupy more market share indefinitely. It is expected that my country's semiconductor industry will account for more than two-fifths of the global consumer market in the future. I can say that whoever occupy my country's semiconductor market will have the largest semiconductor market in the world!"

Intel and AMD are both world's top chip design and manufacturer. These two companies have the same origin and are now the biggest competitors.

Wang Lin’s implication is very obvious. If Intel does not enter my country first, AMD will take the lead.

"As an excellent entrepreneur, your vision and vision should be in mind and should not be influenced by the ideological remarks of some people."

Wang Lin once again captured Grove's deep thoughts.

He wants to completely dispel Grove's concerns.

Grove finally spoke and asked, "Do you want to do wafer foundry?"

Wang Lin said: "Yes, we only do wafer foundry. We will not participate in the design and production of chips."

Grove said: "Why? You mentioned just now that your country will be a major semiconductor consumer in the future and will have a huge demand for chips. If you also design and produce chips, you will make more money."

Wang Lin said: "We will not compete for business with our customers. We serve our customers."

Grove was shocked!

Wang Lin said: "Everyone spends his whole life doing one thing to achieve something. The same is true for a company. Only by working hard can it be ahead in the industry. Moreover, designing and producing chips has huge investments. The whole world can

There are only a few that design chips. The funds, manpower and time required for the development of chips are very large. We lack talents in this area, and patents are also a big problem."

Grove said: "You are a real entrepreneur! How big a process can your company produce now?"

Wang Lin said: "Mr. Grove, my company can definitely meet your requirements. No matter how difficult it is!"

Grove said: "From your performance today, I believe you have the ability to solve difficulties. I can give you a part of the OEM order, but the premise is that I want to see that your factory has OEM qualifications! You can

Take some samples for me.”

Where did Wang Lin go to get the samples?

Nowadays, Aixu Technology has only one factory that manufactures integrated circuits for South Korea.

Whether it is wafers or chips, Wang Lin can't take them out now.

But Wang Lin has always been brave enough, and he has already learned the ability to make money by making money.

Wang Lin said: "Mr. Grove, please give me some time to prepare. I will invite you to our company for inspection. If we meet your standards and requirements, please be sure to cooperate with us."

Grove may not believe that Wang Lin could really build an OEM factory, so he generously said: "Yes!"

He thought of something and said, "You won't have to visit AMD, right?"

Wang Lin laughed and said, "If you reject me, I will go there. Now I don't need to go."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Before we knew it, the conversation between the two lasted for more than two hours.

After leaving Intel, Wang Lin was in a good mood.

Shen Xue asked: "Wang Lin, can we do a good job in chip foundry?"

Wang Lin said: "No problem."

The most important thing in chip foundry is the lithography machine.

In later generations, my country's lithography machine technology lags behind foreign countries for more than ten or twenty years.

But before the 1990s, my country's lithography machine technology was not much behind, and it even once was in a leading position in the world.

At an industrial import and export expo in the 1990s, due to the lack of confidentiality awareness at that time, experts from the Qing Dynasty from my country introduced the technical performance of my country's lithography machine manufacturers in detail, which surprised the Dongyang manufacturers. my country actually did Without any foreign technical guidance, such advanced lithography machines have been developed.

Subsequently, with the United States and Japan taking the lead, the blockade of my country's lithography machine technology was immediately cancelled, and instead sold lithography machines to my country at a low price. The manufacturer was invited to travel abroad for free. The manufacturer was greedy for traveling abroad and cancelled the Qing Daguang by phone. Order for the engraving machine.

The United States and Japan, two countries in the world that mainly produced "step-by-step projection lithography machines" at that time, also announced that the export ban on my country could be lifted, and such projection lithography machines could be exported to my country, and the prices were relatively favorable.

At that time, in order to lure Chinese companies to place orders, many international companies also added various conditions similar to overseas inspections to the price discount, which attracted the attention of many domestic companies.

There is a reason why overseas sellers are making such big money. After this round of "price war", the domestic lithography machine market has gradually shrunk.

Because it is better to buy than to make it!

This has left the new automatic lithography machine developed and manufactured by Qingda without a market and has lost its living space.

However, during this period, we can still buy lithography machines in China.

In fact, there was not much demand for lithography machines in my country during this period, because most electronic products rely on imports, and even if there is no advanced lithography machine, it can be enough.

By acquiring LG Semiconductor and several Dongyang semiconductor companies, Wang Lin could obtain the most advanced lithography machines at that time and buy out several key technologies.

With these, Wang Lin organized another group of high-end semiconductor talents to form a team.

Shen Xue asked, "Wang Lin, you just told Grove that we don't build our own chips, are we lying to him?"

Wang Lin said: "I didn't lie to him."

Shen Xue said: "Are we really not making chips? Haven't you acquired so many companies related to chip manufacturing?"

Wang Lin said: "These two are not contradictory. We do not design chips, but we will produce core components related to chips, and even produce our own lithography machines!"

Shen Xue said: "Oh, we are doing a chip-related industry!"

Wang Lin said: "Yes, we don't design chips, but we produce chips for others, and we will also study the machines that produce chips!"

Shen Xue said: "I am still confused! I don't know how to do this industry."

Wang Lin smiled and said, "You don't need to understand, just stay with me."

Shen Xue pursed her lips and smiled: "Then where will we go next?"

Wang Lin carried his hands on his back, looked at the blue sky and white clouds in Silicon Valley, and said, "I won't go! As long as I can win the order from Grove, it will be enough for Aixu Technology to be full in the future!"

Shen Xue said: "You are so sure, will he give us an order?"

Wang Lin said: "As long as we do well enough, he has no reason to refuse us. Let's go around and I'll take you to see the arrogant technology companies in Silicon Valley!"

Shen Xue said: "By the way, you told me that the company that makes computer systems is here, right?"

Wang Lin said: "Microsoft."

Shen Xue said: "It's the company you mentioned that the richest man in the world, right?"

Wang Lin said: "Yes, it's him."

Shen Xue said: "How much wealth does he have?"

Wang Lin said: "It's tens of billions!"

Shen Xue said: "That's not too much, it's about the same as you!"

Wang Lin said: "I'm talking about US dollars!"
