, Xintong International

Unless Hu Yang's decision infringes upon the interests of shareholders, it is almost a done deal. He said he plans to build a new factory in Jinling, so there is basically no suspense about this matter.

After hanging up the phone, Hu Yang didn't mention the matter to Tian Sichun. He needed to go to the High-tech Zone to see it with his own eyes before he could make a final decision.

After spending two days with Tian Sichun at home, Tian's father invited Hu Yang to go to the High-tech Zone with him.

"Director Cheng, this is the head of the Huijia Department, the executive director of Xintong International, Hu Yang. Mr. Hu, this is Director Cheng of our High-tech Zone Management Committee, Cheng Weixin."

Father Tian's introduction was a bit awkward, but today was business and Director Cheng came to greet Hu Yang and his party in person, so he could only follow the rules.

"Mr. Hu, hello, hello! Welcome to our high-tech zone for an inspection visit. Let's go to the conference room for a while and give you a brief introduction to the situation here."

Hu Yang felt confident and followed Director Cheng into the office building.

Arriving at the conference room, the guests and hosts took their seats, and Director Cheng arranged for someone to introduce the basic situation of the High-tech Zone to Hu Yang.

Currently, there are many high-tech companies settled in the High-tech Zone, including some involved in the semiconductor field.

The high-tech zone has a superior geographical location, complete infrastructure, and supporting preferential policies. The first impression is good.

"Director Cheng, Deputy Director Tian, ​​I want to take a look around, is that okay?"

After listening to the introduction, Hu Yang nodded with a smile and wanted to see the environment of the High-tech Zone with his own eyes.

"Of course, no problem! Director Tian, ​​let's accompany the guests to have a look. Well, let's go to the automation instrument factory first."

Director Cheng took the lead and led the guests straight to the company he was talking about.

This company is a key enterprise supported by the High-tech Zone. It is the leader in the domestic automation instrumentation industry and also enjoys a high reputation internationally.

Since it was an inspection, Director Cheng had of course made arrangements in advance. When he arrived, a deputy general manager greeted him throughout the process and answered all questions. He answered Hu Yang's concerns from another perspective.

After coming out of the automated instrument factory, Populus euphratica walked around randomly and had an initial impression of the high-tech zone.

"Director Cheng, Director Tian, ​​there are many interruptions today. I won't go up. I will have to keep in touch with you in the future. Please stay."

Returning to the office building of the High-tech Zone Management Committee, Hu Yang was ready to say goodbye and leave directly.

There is no point in going upstairs with Director Cheng and the others. After he has decided on the matter, Xentong International will have to send someone to discuss the specific matters.

"Mr. Hu, don't be so anxious, right? Look, it's almost time to get off work in the afternoon. I've already reserved a seat at the restaurant. Let's have a light meal together."

Director Cheng stopped Hu Yang with his hand and refused to let him go.

At the same time, Director Cheng kept winking at Tian Sichun's father, asking him to stand up and say something.

There was no need to hide the relationship between Tian's father and Hu Yang. Tian's father had already reported the situation to his superiors, and he also proposed that if Hu Yang was willing to invest, he would apply to recuse himself from the specific negotiations.

During the entire inspection process today, Tian's father was almost silent. When he heard Director Cheng's words, he had to say: "Ahem, Mr. Hu, let's have a meal together. It won't waste much time."

Even the father-in-law spoke, and Populus euphratica could only stay.

For Populus euphratica, this kind of entertainment is not a lot. It cannot be said that it is disgusting, but it is avoided if possible. Since it is unavoidable, then just go ahead and do it.

However, most of the time when socializing outside, Hu Yang deliberately controls his drinking. If possible, he will choose red wine and not drink or drink less hard liquor.

The meaning of a dinner party is to bring people closer together, which is also a characteristic of China.

But Hu Yang didn't like this kind of utilitarian dinner very much. Everyone seemed to be wearing masks at the wine table. In short, he couldn't hear a few words of truth.

After two hours of eating, Populus euphratica stood up and left.

"Mr. Hu, I won't keep you here today. Let's have a few drinks when we get the chance next time. Director Tian, ​​please send something to Mr. Hu on my behalf."

Director Cheng sent the guests outside the lobby of the restaurant, and very considerately asked Tian's father and Hu Yang to go together.

"Director Cheng, there will definitely be opportunities for us to interact in the future. Please stay. Goodbye, everyone..."

Hu Yang, Director Cheng and others greeted each other one by one, then got in the car and left with Tian's father.

Back home, Tian Sichun had gone to bed early, but Tian's mother was waiting for the two of them to come back.

"Do you need to make some hangover soup for you?"

Tian's mother looked at Populus euphratica and then at Tian's father, wondering whether they had drunk too much.

"No need, I didn't drink much today. In this case, you can make us a pot of tea and bring it to the study."

Tian's father motioned Hu Yang to come to the study to talk. Hu Yang nodded, went upstairs to take a look at Tian Sichun, and then came to the study to sit down.

"Yang Yang, you have also inspected the situation in the High-tech Zone. Don't force it. I don't have high requirements for my career, so don't worry about me."

Tian's father is afraid that Hu Yang will take advantage of his face and launch an investment project. If this is the case, he will feel very uneasy.

"Dad, I know this well. To be honest, the conditions in the Hi-tech Zone are quite good and are more in line with my expectations.

Recently, Xintong International is preparing to launch two or three new factories, and I plan to build one of the factories in Jinling. Later, you can report this situation to the superiors, and Xintong International's advance personnel will arrive soon."

It wasn't until this moment that Hu Yang finally gave the answer to Tian's father.

Father Tian took a closer look and felt that his son-in-law was indeed not in any trouble, so he smiled.

"That's good! I'll report it tomorrow. I won't be responsible for what happens next."

Tian's father will definitely avoid the negotiation process. His only role is to promote the high-tech zone to Hu Yang. If the project can be negotiated, of course the investment will be regarded as his introduction, and the task will be completed simultaneously.

Next, Populus euphratica stayed in Jinling for another week, and then came to the Magic City.

During this process, the advance personnel sent by Meng Rusong have already begun to contact Jinling High-tech Zone. Naturally, Hu Yang will not participate in the follow-up matters. His most important task every day is to spend more time with Tian Sichun.

Hu Yang originally thought of taking Tian Sichun back to the deep sea, but when things came to pass, Tian Sichun changed his mind. Tian's mother also hoped that her daughter could stay in Jinling to wait for delivery so that she could take care of her personally.

Currently, Tian's mother has resigned from her position as the financial director of the company and has taken up a sinecure position. She plans to go through the formalities for internal retirement in advance after a while and devotes herself to helping her daughter take care of the children.

However, Hu Yang's parents were also waiting there, and Hu Yang said he was under a lot of pressure.

"Mr. Hu, I have perfected the construction plan for the new factory in the past few days and plan to launch three new factories at the same time. In addition to building a factory in Jinling, the other two factories will be built in the deep sea and the other in Chengdu.

"

On the day Hu Yang arrived in Shanghai, Meng Rusong came to report to him in person.

He has already sent people to inspect the country and has a clear idea of ​​where the new factory should be built.

"Mr. Meng, there is nothing wrong with your location selection. You can send someone to contact the local area in advance. In this way, you can inform all directors and hold a board meeting the day after tomorrow to discuss the company's expansion of production capacity."

Hu Yang felt that building a factory each in Jinling, Shenhai and Rongcheng would be a good production layout. Therefore, he had nothing to hesitate and made the decision immediately.

However, the board of directors still has to go through a process, and the rest is an issue of implementation.

"Okay! I will take care of this matter. Mr. Hu and Dr. Zhang heard that the company is going to build a new factory. He has already said hello to me. He wants to go and watch the construction of the new factory."

When Meng Rusong talked about Zhang Rulin, he couldn't help but think of the other person's nickname, "Factory Construction Master" was not called for nothing.

Hu Yang was also very happy, but he still asked: "Can Dr. Zhang's body be able to bear it? We still can't let him work too hard."

"It's okay. The company will assign him a dedicated team and he will be responsible for checking things. Besides, he has recovered well in the past two years. It would be fatal to be idle all the time."

Meng Rusong was confident, indicating that everything was under control.

Hu Yang nodded, agreeing to the matter.

"Mr. Meng, the company has developed rapidly in the past two years, and the construction of the talent team must not be ignored. Taking advantage of this board meeting, I would like to propose an additional salary of 15% for the company's technical staff. What do you think?

?”

Hu Yang changed the topic and talked about the company's talent introduction and salary increase.

Meng Rusong hesitated for a moment and said: "Mr. Hu, thank you very much for your efforts to seek benefits for employees. However, the company's current profit level is not very high. If we increase labor costs, the directors may have objections."

"Don't worry about this issue, I will convince them. Mr. Meng, the domestic semiconductor industry is already short of talents. If you are left behind by others in terms of salary, what will you do in the future?"

To be honest, the current domestic salary level is still far behind some developed countries in the world. Even compared with the small treasure island, it is still slightly inferior.

In this case, should we protect profits or talents?

In Hu Yang's view, one or two years of low profits can be overcome by just gritting one's teeth. If talents cannot come in, or even cause a loss of talents, that will be the biggest crisis.

Hu Yang has a plan in mind. Within two years, he plans to make the average salary of Xentong International employees catch up with platform e-commerce. After three years, he plans to overtake it.

However, this plan is not easy to implement. Xentong International needs to have positive capital flow and a stable and fast development speed.

Meng Rusong said nothing, he was already impressed by Hu Yang's arrogance. However, can Hu Yang really convince the directors?

"Mr. Hu, the company's 45nm process has now entered the mass production stage of the third generation (ultimate version) process. It is estimated that the meaningful revenue that the 45nm process has brought to the company has accounted for 40% of the total revenue.

about.

This progress has actually exceeded my original estimate. If this trend continues, it is estimated that 67% of the company's profits this year will come from this area.

In addition, we are actively promoting the research and development of 28\30\32nm processes and strive to produce results within one year."

Meng Rusong cannot change the directors' ideas. But when it comes to the company's production and scientific research, he will be extremely excited.

Now, only in terms of technical level and process level, Xentong International has entered the first echelon of chip foundry companies in the world.

Of course, there is a big gap between the company and Taipower and other companies in terms of revenue and profits. One of the important reasons for this is accumulation, and another reason is the ecological closed loop of various world giants and others.

For example, GT's chips will never be handed over to Xentong International for foundry. Intel's chips will only be produced in their own factories...

Currently, nearly 60% of Xentong International's revenue comes from orders from domestic companies. This trend continues to expand, which illustrates the problem.

"Mr. Meng, since you came to the company, our technical level has really improved by leaps and bounds. I really want to thank you and your team for this. However, the company's internationalization is lagging behind.
To be continued...
