Chapter 246 Uninvited guests
Wu Hao waved his hand and smiled, "President Zhou respects me too highly. I am just a idle director of the Science and Technology Commission. Where is my turn to speak for such a major national policy matter?"
"Old Wu, you are underestimating yourself!" Zhou Shuo shook his head and said, "Influence is sometimes power in your hands, while others are channels for communication. Although you cannot change the status quo, you have ways to communicate with people who change the status quo."
"You mean?" Wu Hao hesitated and pointed upward, and smiled bitterly: "How could the boss above be found as long as I want?"
Wu Hao is self-aware. In the past few times, he was summoned by the big boss, so he had a chance to show his face. Such efficiency is a channel, but it is too difficult. Although the previous software park projects have achieved good results, if you think you have some capital in the officialdom, it would be too naive. It is really time to hide your weakness and rest assured, otherwise the fall of many yesterday's stars will be a lesson.
"How could I make it difficult for you to do it?" Zhou Shuo nodded and said, "I know this is a bit difficult. If Lao Wu, you don't want to take risks, I can understand it completely. But I am not asking you to go directly to the top, but waiting for an opportunity to allow Fanhan Group to stand on an equal position and become an alternative to take over the 908 project."
"That's Project 908!" Wu Hao looked at Zhou Shuo as if crazy and said incredibly: "The country has invested 2 billion yuan. Even if you want to take over, where can you find so much money? If you accidentally break the capital chain, it's not a joke!"
Although Zhou Shuo spent a lot of money in the imperial capital, Wu Hao had been to Hong Kong the most. He had limited knowledge of the business situation in the United States. He could not understand what Liuer Software Company is in the United States. Although Netscape's stock valuation is $500 million, I think no one would sell the chicken that can lay golden eggs.
In his understanding, although Zhou Shuo had 200 million US dollars in the bank, the Panhan Research Institute in the imperial capital after returning to China was simply a cave of money-making. Throwing 80 million US dollars in was just a sound. Blooming on multiple sides and expanding too quickly is a fatal disadvantage of the company.
"Isn't it just two or three hundred million? I can't get it out anywhere." Zhou Shuo waved his hand indifferently and said with a smile: "The start of the 908 project was in the early 1990s, but its technical indicators have fallen behind by two generations. If the country can allow me to intervene in the 908 project, I can guarantee that I will fill in another 200 million US dollars."
"Are you kidding?" Wu Hao was obviously dizzy and could not make a turn. If he could take out 200 million US dollars so easily, why would he take over the 908 project?
The reason why the 908 project is not progressing enough and facing failure is that in addition to the rigid management system, the absence of foreign exchange is also a major factor. 200 million US dollars. This is the standard cost for building a 200mm wafer factory internationally. The process is between 1.2μm and 0.8μm, with a monthly output of 200,000 pieces...
Wu Hao can only recall these data in his mind with a little memory. If he doesn't care about 2 billion yuan in China, he will never turn a deaf ear to 400 million US dollars.
The foreign exchange reserve balance in 1995 was only more than 70 billion US dollars. Although 400 million accounts for only a few hundred percent, the country is waiting to use foreign exchange, which is more than 200 projects? Not to mention better US dollars, it is also reserves for RMB issuance.
"Of course I'm not kidding." Zhou Shuo said seriously: "I not only own 20% of Netscape's shares in the United States, but also 5% of Microsoft's shares. You probably don't know what Microsoft's current share price is. Even the most conservative calculations are worth one billion US dollars. Not to mention that as long as I need it, I can also sell shares of Liuer Software or Lianzhong."
He looked at No. 5's eyes and said firmly: "In order to get Project 908, I can guarantee that it will be upgraded to an internationally-class wafer factory within five years of the slowest time after taking over."
"Finish!" Wu Hao nodded vigorously and said excitedly: "Just for your ambition, Principal Zhou. I'll help you with this!"
"I just don't know when the opportunity you mentioned will come out?" Wu Hao asked with some anticipation.
This so-called opportunity must be the time to let the big boss take the initiative to summon Wu Hao. For Zhou Shuo, this may be a channel to convey information upwards. But for Wu Hao, this is almost the turning point of his career. It means that he is no longer just a one-time tool, but may be a bag taken by his leader. For civil servants, this is a shortcut to soaring into the sky!
According to past deeds, he did not think that Zhou Shuo’s so-called “waiting for the opportunity” was really negatively waiting for things to change. Eighty percent of the time, he probably pushed some plans in other directions.
Zhou Shuo raised his finger and shook it, and smiled mysteriously, "What's the matter? Lao Wu, just take a look."
When Zhou Shuo and Wu Hao were enjoying the cool air in Langfang, the plane from Hong Kong to the imperial capital had just landed.
There was already a little chill in the autumn evening. Kafur got off the plane with his suitcase and couldn't help but tighten his suit.
Kafur, a British-born Hong Kong native. His original name was Kangfuer. His ancestors were once famous landlords in Jiangsu. Later, their ancestors escaped the war and gradually grew up in Hong Kong. Later, they also achieved some results in the shopping mall.
The decadent three generations of Kafur and Kang's family are different. Not only can they run horses on their strong arms, but their business talents are also the best in this generation.
Although 1997 is coming, he did not transfer property like those rich people who are eager to immigrate to Australia. Under Kafur's keen sense of business, he had long realized that the mainland might be the fastest economic growth in the next 20 years. In recent years, his family has not only hoarded huge amounts of wealth in Hong Kong, but also has a huge network of relationships in the United States, Europe, Southeast Asia, and even Wanwan.
China Resources' small moves in Hong Kong were simply nowhere to hide under the Kang family's keen sense of smell. Hong Kong Shanghua Technology Company is not just an empty shell, but a variety of technical talents collected in advance in order to prepare to take over Huajing. How could Kafur have no ambitions now that he has taken it into his hands?
As the fastest growing industry in the world, the semiconductor industry has no doubt its ability to create wealth. The high-tech blockade of European and American countries and the huge electronics market in the mainland ensure that even low-level six-inch production lines can be profitable.
"Master, do you know this address?" Kafur greeted the taxi driver in a fluent Beijing movie.
"Is this Zhongguancun?" The taxi driver looked at the address handed over by Kafur and carefully studied it and said, "I don't know where it is. Let's go to the place to look for it slowly?"
"No problem, let's go." Kafur didn't care whether the driver would take a detour. When he got in the car, he grabbed a book and started reading it.
The taxi came out of the Imperial Capital International Airport and drove for two hours before finding the place. Kafur got out of the car and stretched out and yawned a big yawn.
In front of him was the old building of Menghai Microelectronics Design Center. It seemed that there was no change when you looked in from the door, but it was much more fulfilling than the staff at the beginning.
Menghai Microelectronics, which were originally deserted in front of the door, is now like a dragon. A huge amount of 80 million US dollars fell into Tu'anbei's hands. Even companies that have nothing to do with the semiconductor industry can't help but want to come and try their luck. Such a big project, even a hair falls off, is enough to knock ordinary people out. On such a battlefield, those private companies are always the most dynamic. As long as they smell the smell of profits, they will surely flock to them.
"Hello comrade, I want to find Academician Tu Anbei."
Kafur walked into Menghai Microelectronics' office building, knocked on the window of the doorman room, and said to the security guard inside.
"What are you doing? Have you made an appointment?" The security guard looked at Kaful up and down, and saw that he was wearing a suit and ties, and he felt more and more like a salesman.
Kafur was not angry because of the security guard's stiff attitude, and said with a smile: "Oh, I didn't make an appointment. But I am the general manager of Shanghua Company. You told Academician Tu Anbei that I came for the 908 project, and he would know exactly once he knew."
"Project 908, what is that?" Kafur hoped that the security guards could know what the project 908 was, but he really made the wrong plan. He laughed and said, "The manager is also the manager. Now in Sijiu City, a plaque fell down and hit ten people, eight of them were managers, and there were two deputy managers left!"
Kafur shrugged helplessly. He had encountered too many situations in the mainland and had already formed a mature response strategy. He took out a document from his arms, opened it and spread it in front of the security guard and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't know the 908 Project, do you recognize this thing?"
When the security guard saw Kafur take out his British passport, although he didn't understand English, he could still understand the British flag. The little security guard's shoulders could not withstand the responsibility of diplomatic disputes. Under his eyes, he had to pick up the inside phone. In fact, many times, the so-called first-class foreigners are not really treated preferentially or have extraterritorial legal rights, but the person in charge is simply afraid of trouble.
Of course, it is not ruled out that some people are weak when they see foreigners, but there are still a few such people after all.
After calling, Tu Anbei would certainly not be as uninformed as a little security guard. When he heard that he was a Hong Kong man holding a British passport, he came for the 908 project. He immediately thought of Zhou Shuo's hurried departure and immediately asked the security guard to bring Kafur up.
"Hello Academician Tu, I am Kafur." Kafur lowered his head slightly, greeted Tu Anbei, and sat in front of him.
