Chapter 3000: Wang Rujun and Wang Zhongmin
Wang Rujun's return to China was quite smooth, and even arranged to serve as a professor at the University of Science and Technology, all the green lights were all there. If it were not for not attracting the attention there, the superiors would have to receive it in person.
With Noah's arbitrary price increase this time and the situation where the price was reduced by counterfeit phones, everyone has realized the importance of the semiconductor industry, let alone chips, the top priority.
However, the domestic technology accumulation is quite backward, and several times have passed the level in failure. Now, a big boss has finally returned to China and must be taken seriously.
As for Wang Rujun, who had heard that he was really arranged to be a teacher in college, was so angry that he scolded him for being deceived. But after Du Peng later explained to him and understood the twists and turns inside, he could not help but give Du Peng a thumbs up and praise him for being a genius idea.
When Wang Rujun officially joined the University of Science and Technology, a company called Huaxin Circuit was established in Yanjiao.
The company invested 2 billion yuan in the purpose of building its own chip factory. Du Peng gave 11% of the shares to Wang Rujun.
This decision is very exaggerated, because according to the investment amount, it is equivalent to giving out 200 million yuan, which is 200 million yuan at the beginning of the millennium!
However, Wang Rujun did not accept it. He said that since he wanted to bypass the competition agreement, he should go through it thoroughly and not give foreigners any opportunity to take advantage of it.
"When the time limit for the competition agreement has passed, it will be too late for me to take over the shares." Wang Rujun said.
Du Peng told him that the shares would be temporarily sealed and that they would be given to Wang Rujun in the future, and no one would be able to take them away.
After the negotiations on the shares, Du Peng talked to Wang Rujun about the issues of the corporate team.
Du Peng bluntly stated that the domestic semiconductor industry is scarce at present, and the current people in the company are transferred from electronic research laboratories across the country, which is a bit professional basis, but it is definitely not enough to make chips.
Wang Rujun felt that the problem was not big, so he said that he could arrange to go to university to study first; in addition, Wang Rujun himself also has a lot of connections abroad, so maybe he can contact him first, and there should be many people who are willing to return to China.
"In the semiconductor industry, we Chinese actually account for a considerable proportion. I can ask some back for my face."
In fact, Wang Rujun was not confident when he said this. After all, he had left Texas Instruments and hit a wall in Sansang again. Now he is just a university professor. He wants others to give up their high salary abroad and come back. This decision is really not something that ordinary people can do.
Later, when Wang Rujun really started contacting, he found that the work was much easier than he thought.
Although Wang Rujun and Wang Zhongmin were kicked out of Texas Instruments one after another, their respective technical teams remained at Texas Instruments, but because the leaders left so disgracefully, these technicians were naturally discriminated against. In particular, the members of these two technical teams also had a considerable proportion of Asians, which made Texas Instruments uneasy.
So in more than half a year after the Double King left Texas Instruments, members of these two technical teams suffered from workplace bullying and discrimination.
It is precisely this way. When Wang Rujun sent an invitation to his former technical team members, many people agreed without hesitation. Some of the remaining ones were just a little prejudiced against China and were unable to make up their minds for a while.
But as the mainstay of Texas Instruments, the technical team of Shuangwang resigned in large numbers at once.
Alarming the company's senior management.
When the senior officials came down to investigate, they found out that it was Wang Rujun who was recruiting soldiers, which made the entire Texas Instruments furious.
"Wang Rujun, a liar! He violated the competition agreement. No matter who it is, I will definitely not let him go!"
But when Texas Instruments and Madison launched an investigation, it was found that Wang Rujun was just a professor at the University of Science and Technology, and in principle did not violate the competition agreement.
Madison immediately realized: This must be Zhou Ming’s idea!
So Madison immediately contacted Piero and Freeman to discuss countermeasures.
"We were all deceived by Zhou Ming. His focus was not on the continent, but on the entire semiconductor industry!"
"As far as I know, in addition to chip factories, Huaxia is now building a large number of high-tech factories related to the chip semiconductor industry, such as wafer factories and photoresist. We have reason to believe that Zhou Ming's goal is not a bullshit mobile phone at all, but the top priority of the chip semiconductor industry!"
"Today he can poach hundreds of our engineers from Texas Instruments, and tomorrow he can steal our semiconductor industry orders!"
"Think about it, we launched a capital war and defeated the semiconductor industry in Europe, but in the end it allowed China to develop. We must not let this happen!"
At the meeting, Madison's passionate words convinced everyone, or whether Piero or Freeman, they were not going to let Zhou Ming go.
But this is the truth, but how to do it makes everyone feel a headache, because under Zhou Ming's leadership, all behaviors in China are reasonable and legal. Even Wang Rujun, as a university professor, perfectly bypassed the blockade of the competition agreement, and it is difficult for them to effectively crack down on it.
"We invest in Chinese newspapers and accused the chip industry of polluting the environment? Or did we ask some scholars to publish articles to accuse this behavior of building factories of wasting national money and causing public opinion pressure to stop the relevant process by themselves?"
Some people have expressed this idea and have also been agreed upon. After all, there are many companies that have technical cooperation with them. If you use these technologies to get a little bit of a card, people will naturally run for them.
However, some people have different opinions, believing that Zhou Ming is a firm person and will definitely not stop his layout just because of a few dogs barking.
Some people also proposed that we should start from the technical and talent aspects. On the one hand, semiconductor engineers from the whole federal government are prohibited from going to China, and on the other hand, any related technology or equipment is prohibited from going to China.
But this is not very meaningful. After all, with Wang Rujun's operation, all the talents who should go there have passed. Zhou Ming bought a top-level lithography machine a few years ago and there were not many people who could get stuck on the equipment.
Finally, Boya remembered Wang Zhongmin who was still unemployed: "Since our simple ban and suppression are useless, we may be able to artificially support another center and grab the market back."
This idea made everyone feel like a rumor. Then they remembered that chip development is not enough to invest funds in building factories and R&D, but also needs market support. Otherwise, the tens of billions of funds you invest in R&D technology will be wasted.
"Okay! Then we will support Wang Zhongmin!"
In the end, everyone formed a unified opinion.
After reaching an agreement, Madison called Wang Zhongmin himself.
As a Texas Instruments
The executive, Wang Zhongmin, of course, knew Madison, a member of the board of directors, and seemed terrified of such a wealthy man calling, and Madison's words immediately made him stupid.
"I... heard it right, Mr. Madison, did you mean to give up the competition agreement and let me take over the chip company again?" Wang Zhongmin felt that this was like a pie falling from the sky.
"That's right, but I have the conditions. I need you to become the most technologically powerful chip company in the Western Pacific region, occupy all the high-end chip manufacturing industry in China, and accept our full holdings!"
Madison said word by word, hoping that Wang Zhongmin could understand what task he was giving him. Even Madison had done what Wang Zhongmin hesitated or refused to give him the future comfort method.
But Wang Zhongmin responded excitedly: "Okay, this is great. As long as I continue to take charge of the chip company, I will accept all the conditions!"
This result was beyond Madison's expectations. This is what Madison wants most to Chinese people.
"Very good, I'm really right. You are indeed the most sensible engineer of Texas Instruments. So from now on, the chairman of Fujian-Taiwan United Chip Company!"
After hanging up the phone, Wang Zhongmin clenched his fists excitedly, and finally waited for the opportunity.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Zhongmin's phone rang again, and Wang Zhongmin answered in surprise. Could it be that Mr. Madison had nothing to explain?
But this time the call was Wang Rujun.
"Lao Wang, what are you thinking about? Can't you come to the mainland? Let me tell you that the semiconductor industry is developing vigorously now, and they even have the most advanced lithography machines, which can definitely build the world's first-class chip factory. And there are already countermeasures regarding the competition agreement, I..."
Wang Zhongmin interrupted Wang Rujun's endless speech with dissatisfaction: "Mr. Wang Rujun, maybe what I said was not accurate enough last time, I wouldn't go to the mainland!"
"I am a chip engineer, not a poverty alleviation cadre. In a place where I am poor, I can't even wear pants. And what you call bypassing the competition agreement is actually going to be a teacher in a university. Aren't you kidding? I will never agree, don't call again!"
Wang Zhongmin hung up the phone angrily.
He was really angry. He thought that Wang Rujun's behavior of letting him go to the mainland was an insult to himself.
I am the vice president of Texas Instruments. Why can I be a teacher when I come to mainland China? And even if the time for the competition agreement has passed, I still have to work under your command of Wang Rujun?
Then go to yours.
Of course, Wang Zhongmin had no other choice before, but now Mr. Madison has called himself, asking Texas Instruments to give up the competition agreement and fund his re-establishment of chip companies in Fujian and Taiwan. Then Wang Zhongmin didn't have to give any face anymore and refused in person.
"It seems that Mr. Madison's purpose is here. He is to let me become a rival to Wang Rujun of the mainland. He will steal all the markets before the mainland chip industry emerges. This game is good."
Wang Zhongmin is still very capable. With just a few phone calls, he guessed the current situation.
