Chapter 1020 Mergers and Acquisitions
After the Spring Festival Gala red envelope, a big world was almost opened, which means that China's mobile payment has entered a high extension period, and it also means that there will be a large amount of capital investment, and all walks of life will use money to create a huge world. There are reasons for the rapid concentration of wealth, the gap between the rich and the poor has widened sharply, and the global excess of liquidity.
Ordinary people can only accept all these changes silently, and there is no other way. Fortunately, Zhou Shi stepped on the pulse of the times and could lead the development of the times.
"Mr. Zhou, our acquisition negotiations with Grofangde have been basically negotiated. This time we come to the United States to sign a formal contract." Zhang Yujing
"Okay, I'll take another step towards our ideal." Zhou Shi
"It's just that the people from Mubadala want to invite Mr. Zhou to the UAE. If Mr. Zhou agrees, they will issue another official invitation." Zhang Yujing
"???" What is this operation? Zhou Shi was confused and met in the United States soon. Is it so troublesome?
"Is there anything?" Zhou Shi
"I didn't say it, but they were asking if Chartered Semiconductor had plans to build a factory in India. Of course, this is gone!" Zhang Yujing
"India? Why not invite me directly?" Zhou Shi, Xinghe Capital and Mubadala have a lot of cooperation, which is closer to the relationship between Franchise Semiconductor and them.
"Don't they want to let the franchise semiconductors build factories in the UAE, right?" Zhang Yujing
"This?" Zhou Shi didn't think it was necessary. How could the Middle East have this industrial foundation? Only when his mind was in trouble would he do these thankless things there. There were no talents in the Middle East, and the local tyrants in the Middle East might not have such foresight. They were feudal monarchy and habitually transformed the country's wealth into private wealth. Do they have such a great kindness to transform private wealth into national wealth?
"Sion, do you want to go to the Middle East together to raise funds for our Vision Fund?" Sun Zhenyi quickly called him.
"Fundraising in the Middle East?" Zhou Shi finally understood a little
"Yes, there is no better suit for us in the world than the Middle East. They want to make money, we want to do things..." Sun Zhenyi
"No problem!" Zhou Shi, anyway, he is not optimistic about the profit prospects of Vision Fund, and he pursues future influence, so try to invest as little as possible.
The signing ceremony between Chartered Semiconductor and Grofonte was officially held a few days later, but unfortunately, the two other news were diluted by the low-key news of both sides.
"Didi and Kuaidi merge, and the domestic online ride-hailing market has changed drastically!"
"The giant merges, and the online car-hailing oligarchs are formed!"
"The helpless choice under huge subsidies!"
"Under the promotion of multiple parties, the two major domestic online ride-hailing companies have merged"
The domestic news has been flooded with Didi's news. Whether it is scale or influence, the merger of these two companies is much more important than the merger of Youku and Tudou. Liu Chuanzhi's daughter Liu Qing became the president of Didi and also involved the family in the news.
One is the Internet technology company with the strongest technical strength in China, and the other is the online ride-hailing giant in the hottest position. This family is all elites and maintaining its own influence in the domestic enterprise sector is really envious.
"Anhua Gao acquires Broadcom!"
"Semiconductor industry acquisitions intensify"
"The largest acquisition case in the semiconductor industry!"
"Acquiring $70 billion!"
The acquisition of some of Grofontein's assets by Franchise Semiconductor was concealed by the two major events of Anwar Gao's acquisition of Broadcom and Didi Kuaidi merger. Because both companies are non-listed companies and are not consumer-oriented companies, there is not much attention.
"Finally acquired, we are now the best-deserved second in the world" Zhang Yujing
"Don't relax like this. Have our 14n technology been improved? The latest architecture of the foundry cooperation is our focus of TSMC!" Zhou Shi
"Don't worry, I will definitely give you a surprise this time!" Zhang Yujing
"What surprise?" Zhou Shi
"Qualcomm's latest high-end chip 81o adopts the TSMC 2on process, and the high-end chips of Guokel and Spreadtrum use our 14n process. The comparison between the two parties will soon appear in the eyes of consumers..." Zhang Yujing
"You are so confident, what if our yield rate is not up to standard?" Zhou Shi
"You underestimate the strength of licensed semiconductors too much." Zhang Yujing
"By the way, where is Samsung's mobile phone chip?" Zhou Shi naturally remembered this old friend. Since intercepting Hu Liang Mengsong, the two sides have fought several times.
"It is said that they are planning to find TSMC OEM..." Zhang Yujing
"You know all this?" Zhou Shi said maliciously
"Who told them to keep staring at us? After learning lessons several times, they still don't have a memory. Their semiconductor manufacturing factories have basically given up their plans for OEM, and their technical research level is not enough, which is similar to SMIC, and the cost is even higher." Zhang Yujing
Sometimes the lack of key figures does have a great impact on a company. Just like if Alibaba didn’t have Jack Ma, neither Ma Ge nor Robin Lee could have reached the level of Jack Ma. Although Samsung has enough business to support the upgrading of semiconductor manufacturing factories, what should we do if there is no talent? Moreover, the existing technology is basically enough for other departments and companies in Samsung besides the mobile phone chip department.
In addition to obtaining key talents and abundant market demand, the exhibition of Chartered Semiconductor also has a continuous large investment. The key is that Zhou Shi's will is very clear, and the weight of executive performance appraisal and technological progress is the greatest.
Of course, Zhang Yujing said that Samsung is similar to SMIC, which obviously belittled Samsung's semiconductor manufacturing department. No matter what, Samsung is a good owner.
"Did they not introduce our 14n process technology?" Zhou Shi
"Yes, we're talking about it." Zhang Yujing, everyone is from the ib alliance, and technology sharing is already in it.
"There is no need to make a fuss. Our biggest competitor is TSMC, and Samsung is a company that can cooperate with." Zhou Shi would not act irritably.
"It's okay, just the previous conflicts are very annoying. After a few twists and turns, it will be fine. Samsung has not many choices, and TSMC may not be able to look down on them." Zhang Yujing, Wanwan's semiconductor foundry industry is really excellent, with many talents, and it is much more than the top 6. It is impossible to surpass it in a decade or two. This is an undeniable reality.
Even if Samsung has a full industrial chain, the restrictions on Zhou Shi's industries are extremely small. Even the strongest O1ED department has an alternative, so the competition between the two sides is actually greater than cooperation.
After asking some more things, Zhou Shi was basically relieved.
