Chapter 503 Sell it to me when you don't want it
Lin Zheng smiled a little shyly and shyly, just like when all young people of this age were praised by their elders. But Mr. Zhang did not dare to underestimate this young man no matter what. The Hon Hai Group of the Guo brothers is also one of the most famous companies on the island, but so what? Isn’t it that he was still fooled by Lin Zheng, a young man?
"By the way, it is said that the 'restraint and tolerant' is not very welcome to me?" The topic suddenly changed and Lin Zheng asked Mr. Zhang.
This young man really didn't mention any pot. When he heard Lin Zheng's question, Zhang Zhongmou suddenly felt a little urge to smile bitterly. The older generation had a clear attitude towards cross-strait issues, so he naturally wanted to unify it. However, the "restraint and forbidden" seemed to have a decisive desire to draw a clear line with the other side. This time, Lin Zheng's trip to the island was unwilling to do so at first, but the elites of the industrial and commercial circles on the island put pressure on this person, which led to Lin Zheng's trip to the island. However, this "restraint and forbidden" is still the top leader, and this question is really not easy to answer. After hesitating, the old man said: "There are people behind him, and companies such as Formosa Plastics bow their heads too."
Formosa Plastics bowed to the "Haicang Plan"? Lin Zheng smiled but said nothing. When it comes to Formosa Plastics, he had to mention Wang Yongqing, and the "Haicang Plan" that gave up halfway. According to official statements, the cooperation and communication between the mainland and Formosa Plastics in the "Haicang Plan" has been smooth. However, after this "Haicang Plan" came to power, he vigorously promoted the island independence, believing that the "Haicang Plan" brought greater political harm to the island than economic benefits, which made the "Haicang Plan" very annoyed, and finally even issued an ultimatum to Formosa Plastics.
But in Lin Zheng's opinion, it may not be that Wang Yongqing himself had the intention to retreat. The reason is very simple. For the mainland, by the 1990s, the "Haicang Plan" promoted in the 1980s was no longer as important as before. Wang Yongqing's repeated changes and political blackmail also annoyed the mainland's top leaders. When the "rest and incompetent" came to power, the pressure on Formosa Plastics gave Wang Yongqing an excellent opportunity.
But this view is a bit too conspiracy theory. Formosa Plastics is not only a banner of the industrial and commercial circles on the island. Wang Yongqing himself and Zhang Zhongmou are also close friends. He said bad things about Wang Yongqing in front of Zhang Zhongmou? Lin Zheng is not yet at this point and smiled and said, "We only talk about business, not politics. Master, what is TSMC's attitude this time? Can I have a clear idea in my heart?"
"It's easy to say, we have carefully considered the requirements mentioned by President Lin last time. TSMC's suggestion is to transfer production capacity to Lianchuang Technology at the rate of one production line every year." Zhang Zhongmou nodded. He was not surprised that Lin Zheng asked this question directly at this time. Any agreement of a large contract is that the big bosses of both parties have reached a general intention framework in a short time. Under the guidance of this framework, the people below are very particular. The time for the boss to reach an intention may only be the time to drink a glass of wine, but it is common for two or three years to be considered.
"The speed of one production line is transferred to Lianchuang Technology every year?" Lin Zheng frowned slightly. Although it seems like a good thing to do this, it is somewhat different from what Lin Zheng imagined. There is no way. Next year is the year of Lianchuang Technology's explosion, and it will definitely not be possible to add only one wafer production line.
"Not enough," Lin Zheng shook his head, "Add two more next year, and two more next year."
"Brother, you want my life," Mr. Zhang was shocked by Lin Zheng's appetite and smiled bitterly, "I will have five lines in two years. What should TSMC's old customers do? Even if I fight my life, I can't free up so much production capacity," Lin Zheng smiled and looked at the old man who is called "the god of business afterwards". "I heard that TSMC is preparing to launch two 8-inch wafer production lines... But if you really feel that you have difficulties, then we will only have a relationship."
The increase of a wafer by one inch is by no means just one inch. This thing depends on the area. For semiconductor manufacturers, considering the yield rate, an 8-inch actual effective production capacity is almost equivalent to two 6-inch wafer production lines. This means a large reduction in production costs and a large increase in profits. An 8-inch wafer production line requires more than 1 billion US dollars of construction funds. If not, TSMC will be able to get enough time to get on the 8-inch wafer production line?
But in Lin Zheng's opinion, Zhang Zhongmou's approach is a bit unauthorized. You have put two new 8-inch lines, and the production capacity is equivalent to the past 4 6-inch lines. I just want you to have more production capacity, so you can push me three times and four times?
Just having sex? The implication of this statement is not to talk about business. Zhang Zhongmou did not expect that Lin Zheng was so tough. He didn't know what to say for a while. He wanted to take it, but when he thought of the UMC eyeing him, he couldn't help but shivered: Compared with UMC, which has a deeper foundation than TSMC, TSMC really doesn't have much confidence to negotiate terms with this little bastard.
"Old man, I'm very curious. Are business people still worried about too many orders?" Before Zhang Zhongmou made up his mind, Lin Zheng's voice sounded again, "You haven't studied the growth trend of the world's demand for semiconductor chips in the next 10 years, right? The future will inevitably be an era of rapid development of the electronics industry. In order to seize the market, you are still trying hard to expand your production capacity. On the contrary, after the customer comes to the door, he tries every means to push it out... Could it be that you are planning to live on these current production lines?"
As a semiconductor chip foundry company, it is a bit hilarious to say that Zhang Zhongmou has not studied the growth of world demand for semiconductor chips. Like all semiconductor companies, Zhang Zhongmou is extremely optimistic about the demand for semiconductor chips worldwide for a long time in the future. He even has plans to go on two more 8-inch wafer production lines. Zhang Zhongmou, who originally planned to take advantage of this opportunity to take advantage of Lin Zheng, had to nod with a bitter smile: "Okay, according to your wishes, allocate the production capacity of two 6-inch lines to you every year."
"You are so righteous, old man," Lin Zheng raised his thumb and smiled shyly: "But the boy has two small requests."
Hum? Still have requests? Zhang Zhongmou couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, thinking that Lin Zheng would stare at his face, and his face was a little uneasy: "What else does Mr. Lin have?"
"It's just a small request," Lin Zheng didn't care about Zhang Zhongmou's reaction. Who made his actions really suspicious of being arrogant? He asked Zhang Zhongmou softly, "Old man, I heard that TSMC plans to shut down the two earliest 5-inch wafer production and later packaging and testing lines in 1999?"
Lin Zheng was actually helpless. If he had a way to get a new wafer and later packaging and testing production line, even if he didn't have a penny in his hand, he wouldn't worry. However, a wafer production line with a size of more than 4 inches is one of the most tight technologies in the Western world to block the mainland, and is even more tight than the blockade of military equipment. People who are not making a living in the semiconductor industry don't know it at all. For the Republic, even second-hand goods are eliminated. If it weren't for knowing that the second-hand goods from Wandao entered the mainland in 2000, Lin Zheng wouldn't dare to think about this matter at all.
With the improvement of technology, backward production equipment will inevitably be eliminated. This is an inevitable law of industrial development. In the semiconductor field, TSMC is preparing to build those two 8-inch wafer production lines. After the run-in is completed, it is normal to gradually eliminate the company's 5-inch and 6-inch wafer production lines. However, as soon as Lin Zheng said this, Zhang Zhongmou's heart suddenly stumbled. The wafer production line is one of the high-tech products that the United States strictly controls to the mainland, and is also the most effective means for the United States to check and balance the development of mainland science and technology. TSMC can cooperate with Lianchuang Technology, but hand over the eliminated wafer production and later packaging and testing production lines to Lianchuang Technology? There is no doubt that this is playing with fire!
He looked at Lin Zheng vigilantly and did not directly answer Lin Zheng's words: "Mr. Lin, you should understand that even if we eliminated this thing, it would not be possible to sell it to you."
"Whether it can be sold to us is not about the present, but about the future. How to avoid Americans, I believe there are many ways..."
I can't let this guy continue to say it anymore. Zhang Zhongmou was so scared that he was frightened and subconsciously interrupted Lin Zheng: "This is not negotiated..."
"Old man, listen to me," Lin Zheng interrupted him again and said with a smile: "I don't expect you to answer me immediately now. I just hope that when you decide to sell the equipment you eliminated, you can give priority to me."
"Mr. Lin, tell me honestly, is this your zf meant?" Zhang Zhongmou, who hesitated for a long time, had changed his face several times before he slowly asked Lin Zheng.
"No, it's my personal intention," Lin Zheng shook his head slowly, "But old man, you are a smart person. Don't you know that the future and future of the island are actually tied to the opposite side. The old saying is good. It's better to give timely help than to add icing on the cake."
Lin Zheng did not find any surprise to Zhang Zhongmou's reaction. Now it was in 1995. In the military confrontation between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, Bay Island had the majority of advantages. At this moment, the people on the island were still very arrogant. But in the past two years, you see, a military exercise in the strait completely scared the people on the island. At that time, the island had a different view on the other side.
