Li Jing had some doubts about acquiring Intel's memory business. After getting on the car, she said to Johnson Lin: "Johnson, are you considering acquiring Intel's memory business? Be more cautious!"
Lin Qiangsheng looked at her and saw that she was worried, so he said: "Now that personal computers have just developed. I think the future PC market has a lot of room for growth. This is the most important emerging market in the world. As an important accessory for PC, memory is definitely worth investing. It should be said that in the computer industry, all software and hardware have room for growth. This industry has just begun!"
Li Jing shook her head and said, "I mean the attitude of Intel. I can see that Gordon Moore and Glove are already tired of the ram memory business. We also understand that Intel's memory business is now declining severely. They are in a situation of serious product unsalable and difficult capital turnover. It is conceivable what kind of state Intel's memory department is. In terms of memory business, Intel is lacking in both technical and quality, and there is no hope!"
Then, Li Jing said to Lin Johnson: "But Japanese manufacturers will not give us too much time. They have now occupied an absolute share of the memory market. When we enter this industry, we have to face the pressure from Japanese manufacturers directly!"
Lin Johnson smiled and asked Li Jing, "Are you scared?"
Li Jing shook her head and said seriously: "I'm talking about a very serious fact that it's very difficult for the Japanese to deal with!"
Lin Johnson nodded, and he decided to give Li Jing a briefing, so he said: "Actually, according to my estimate, the good days for Japanese memory manufacturers will be in the past two or three years. They will not be able to stay in the memory industry for long!"
Li Jing was very surprised when she heard Lin Johnson's words and asked: "Why do you have such a view?"
Lin Johnson parked his car in front of a coffee shop, and asked Li Jing back: "The US memory industry is becoming increasingly sluggish, and it has lost its competitiveness by being squeezed by Japanese goods. So have you ever considered why this is the case?"
Li Jing said: "Because Japanese manufacturers have government support. They have good technology, good quality, high performance, and much lower prices than American memory!"
Lin Johnson nodded and said, "You are right. Memory, as an important component of a computer, can directly affect computer performance, so American memory can maintain a long-term high-price system. However, after Japanese memory comes in, the memory price suddenly dropped. Because the Japanese government supports the semiconductor industry and borrows a large amount of loans to manufacturers such as Toshiba, Hitachi, etc., prompting the Japanese to continuously improve their technology and technology!"
He said to Li Jing: "But do Americans have no money? No! In fact, companies like Intel have invested a lot of money in the microprocessor industry. In other words, Intel's upper-level companies have focused their company's development on microprocessors, and they are no longer looking at the memory industry!"
Li Jing was silent for a moment, nodded and said, "Microprocessors have indeed made a lot of money and reputation for Intel in recent years. They also have the cooperation of ibm!"
Lin Johnson nodded and said, "Yes. Intel has been paying more and more attention to the microprocessor industry, and has also transferred the company's R&D center to this!"
"But now we see that Intel is clearly in a decline in memory business, which is nothing more than the decline in competitiveness of memory products. Moreover, Intel's memory is indeed at a disadvantage in quality and quality than Japan's memory. This is because Intel has no time to take into account the memory business and does not have the energy and money to improve the process performance of memory. They have invested all R&D funds into the gold industry of microprocessors!
On the other hand, the high labor costs of enterprises, the rising labor costs, and the high production costs are a dilemma that American memory manufacturers such as Intel cannot solve. Americans cannot reduce the price of memory. If the Japanese fight a price war, no manufacturer can withstand it!
Therefore, Japanese memory manufacturers can defeat American manufacturers by relying on price wars. Due to the backlog of memory, American manufacturers cannot sell them, which has led to poor capital turnover and no funds to invest in research and development. This is a vicious cycle that cannot be solved. I estimate that American memory manufacturers will only go bankrupt in the end!"
Li Jing thought about it and asked in shock: "Do you think Japanese manufacturers will soon lose their competitiveness due to the increase in labor costs in a few years?"
Lin Johnson nodded and said, "Yes, I think the increase in labor costs of Japanese people is accelerating. In a short while, they will follow in the footsteps of American manufacturers!"
Li Jing hesitated for a moment and asked, "Johnson & Johnson, do you want to close Intel's memory factory and move the production line to the mainland?"
Lin Johnson frowned. He hated other mainlanders and mainland media the most, but communicating with Hong Kong and Taiwan people is another word that cannot be avoided. So he nodded and said to Li Jing: "Smart, that's what I think! If the American factory is closed and then moved to China to produce, the labor cost will be solved and the production cost will be greatly reduced. How can Japanese manufacturers do better than us? Then we will develop a new one to match Intel's new generation processor 80386 and the memory of the system. Relying on the strategy of low-price competition, we can still defeat Japanese manufacturers by using the Japanese method, just like they are defeating American manufacturers now!" After saying that, Lin Johnson laughed happily.
Originally, the memory industry would be transferred to Taiwan and South Korea in a few years, but now Lin Johnson has intercepted him. He wants to let the two places take the lead in accepting the US memory industry and let the domestic and domestic inherit the essence of this industry. Taiwan and South Korea can only eat dirt behind him!
The car continued to go on the road, Li Jing hesitated for a while and said to Lin Johnson: "Johnson, Huichang has returned to Taipei. He was welcomed and invited by the mayor of Taipei and the Hsinchu Management Committee. He felt that Taipei's current industrial policies are very good. The municipal government has introduced many policies to encourage enterprises to settle down, and has exempted land and tax. He discussed with me that he wanted to build a wafer factory to produce memory particles!"
Seeing that Li Jing wanted to say but didn't dare to say it, Lin Qiangsheng said, "When the factory is completed in the future, we will definitely cooperate. Are you planning to produce memory particles?"
Li Jing nodded and smiled, "It's just right, you and Huichang thought of going together. He also said that Taiwan is very suitable for developing the memory industry, and the labor costs over there are also very low! Johnson & Johnson, can you sell the replaced lithography machines from the company to us?"
Seeing Li Jing's tentative eyes, Lin Johnson nodded and said, "Okay, I'll sell it to you at a low price. I think Brother Huichang will definitely make a difference in this industry!"
Li Jing also smiled and nodded and said, "Thank you, Johnson and Johnson! You don't know that after Huichang returned this time, he saw the semiconductor industry booming in Hsinchu Industrial Park. He was very happy. He called and kept saying that he wanted to go back earlier!"
Then, she said to Lin Johnson: "Johnson, do you know? The Vice President of the Executive Yuan personally summoned him to encourage Huichang to actively participate in Taiwan's economic development!"
Lin Johnson was still surprised that Wang Huichang was received by the top leaders on the island. The Vice President of the Executive Yuan is equivalent to the Vice Premier. He asked Li Jing: "Don't you know that he has worked in a mainlander enterprise?"
Li Jing shook her head and said, "I don't know either, maybe it's okay!"
She didn't know how to answer this question. In fact, Wang Huichang was still a little nervous when he returned to Taipei, afraid that his experience of working for Lin Johnson would make the island think of him.
"It seems that the democratization process on the island has made some practical progress. Xiao Jiang really attaches great importance to the economy and is relatively open-minded in politics."
Lin Johnson suddenly remembered someone and asked, "Sister Li, do you know Li Denghui? What is he doing in the political circles on the island now?"
Li Jing asked: "Are you talking about Vice President Li?"
Lin Johnson was surprised and asked, "Is this person already the vice president?"
Li Jing nodded and said, "Yes, we also found it strange at first. Li Denghui is not as good as other Kuomintang veterans in terms of qualifications and work experience. I wonder why this person was promoted so much by President Chiang!"
"How did you know Li Denghui?" Li Jing asked curiously.
Lin Johnson shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't know where I saw this person's name, so ask!"
Li Jing smiled and saw that Lin Johnson was interested in Taiwan, so she talked about some topics on the island. Only then did Lin Johnson understand the ins and outs of some politicians on the island.
Li Denghui is now the second-largest figure of the Party and the country. If Xiao Jiang dies, the vice president will take over as president. Logically speaking, it is not his turn to be the vice president on the island. However, just by Xiao Jiang's cultivation, it is like a rocket. It seems that Xiao Jiang really treats him as his heir. He is so clumsy!
