  Chapter 781 How to overtake on curves in the semiconductor industry (7K chapter, please subscribe~)

  Although Chu Huan wants to use the Clippers of Samsung to overtake the semiconductor industry in a corner.

But the first condition now is that Samsung has already built this ship. Samsung has not yet built the semiconductor ship, and what Chu Huan has to do now is to make Li Bingzhe start to be interested in this industry .

"Mr. Chu, I plan to go to Japan in two days and visit Dr. Inaba, a Japanese economist. I want to hear his thoughts on the current development of the Japanese economy. I know Mr. Chu himself. There is a strong business system in Japan, and there are cooperation projects with such powerful chaebols as Mitsui and Sumitomo, so I would like to know, Director Chu, how you view the business environment in Japan?"

   Li Bingzhe seriously asked Chu Huan for advice.

In recent years, Li Bingzhe has been paying close attention to Japan's economic development. The reason is also because the development environments of South Korea and Japan are basically similar. talents to occupy the market.

   "President Li is being humble. My development in Japan is just a small matter, but I dare not play tricks in front of President Li!" Chu Huan said with a smile.

"Haha!" Li Bingzhe laughed loudly, and said, "Mr. Chu, it is really too modest to say that. Koku, the new generation of Japanese chaebols, especially owns a lot of shares in Japanese small and medium-sized enterprises. At that time, a US$1 billion investment fund from the Japanese branch of Alder Commercial Bank allowed Jiaku to accurately find some emerging companies with the most development potential in Japan.

My friend in Japan once told me that if the current situation continues, in less than ten years, Mr. Chu’s Jiaku will become the same as Mitsui, Mitsubishi, Sumitomo, and Fuji in Japan. Existence, in such a situation, if Mr. Chu said it was a joke, he was really joking! "

  Since Li Bingzhe has always been very concerned about the situation in Japan, he naturally knows about the development of Jiaku in Japan.

Li Jianxi, who remained silent all the time, showed a surprised expression at this time. You must know that Japan is actually a very xenophobic country that pays attention to self-protection of technology. He is really shocked. Is there such a large scale in Japan?

If Li Bingzhe knew what Li Jianxi was thinking, he would definitely remind Li Jianxi that it is not enough to just look at the development of business. Just as Li Jianxi thought, how did their government allow Japan, a xenophobic country, to have such a business in Japan? Large-scale foreign-funded enterprises exist.

  Although most of the companies in Japan’s Jiaku are companies registered in Japan, their boss is from Xiangjiang!

  There is no way for the two father and son to talk to each other, so naturally there is no way to say this.

  After listening to Li Bingzhe's words, Chu Huan said with a smile: "Well, since President Li has said so, I will not be modest, otherwise it will really appear a little hypocritical!"

  Li Bingzhe laughed and said, "I'm all ears!"

Then Chu Huan said: "In fact, in Japan at this time, the basic industries such as ironmaking, shipbuilding, and petrochemicals that they are proud of have become old industries, so the Japanese government has now begun to intervene in these industries. The scale of development!"

The old industry does not mean that this industry has no prospects for development. The main problem is that Japan has reached a leading position in the world in these industries, no matter in terms of technology or scale, and these industries are all overwhelmed by Japan. Several big chaebols control it, and there is no way for others to enter.

  If basic industries such as petrochemicals really became sunset industries, Chu Huan would not invest more than 20 billion U.S. dollars in his hometown to build an expanded version of the "Cangjiang Project"!

  The reason why I say this now is to let Li Bingzhe firmly believe in the transformation of Samsung.

   Li Bingzhe had obviously listened to Chu Huan's words, and continued to ask Chu Huan for advice: "Then Director Chu, what do you think is the way out for Japan's industry in the future?"

  "Chairman Li should know that in the 1960s, Japan received technical support from North America. At that time, Japan obtained a large number of North American technology licenses at very low prices, including transistor technology.

In 1962, North America opened the most advanced planar integrated circuit manufacturing technology to Japan at that time. Japan's NEC Corporation obtained the technical authorization for mass-manufacturing integrated circuits from Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation of North America. Then, under the leadership of the Japanese government, NEC opened up the technology to companies such as Mitsubishi and Kyoto Electric, thus forming the prototype of the Japanese semiconductor industry.

In the early days, most of Japan’s equipment and materials were imported from North America, but then gradually established a joint venture company to start the localization of equipment. In 1967, NEC and Varian Associates established a joint venture to develop and produce automatic aluminum wire vacuum in Japan. Coating equipment and sputtering equipment, etc., Hitachi, Ltd. researched and developed ion implantation equipment in 1968.

In the 1970s, under the guidance of the government, Japan established a VLSI joint research and development body, bringing together talents from all over the country, and jointly researching and developing through industry-government-university cooperation. In the later period, Japan’s technology research and development has been faster than that of North America. At the same time, the localization process of Japanese semiconductor equipment has also accelerated. .

In 1976, Japan’s Ministry of International Trade and Industry selected semiconductor experts with comprehensive knowledge and coordination capabilities in the entire process of IC design, production and testing from its affiliated Electronics Technology Research Institute. They took the lead in organizing the five largest computer companies in Japan. Fujitsu, NEC, Hitachi, Toshiba and Mitsubishi Electric formed the "Very Large Scale Integrated Circuit Technology Research Group", whose main goal is to develop and manufacture the most advanced VLSI memory chips, especially 64K and 256K dynamic random access memory (DRAM) necessary basic technology.

1K DRAM and 4K DRAM were first developed in North America in 1970 and 1972. 16K DRAM was developed by the United States and Japan in 1976. 64K DRAM was developed by Japan and the United States in 1977 and 1979 respectively. Developed, the manufacturer with the largest market share at this time is Hitachi, which actually means that Japan has entered the VLSI era two years earlier than North America.

   And I heard that Japan has now developed a 256K DRAM. "

  Li Bingzhe listened carefully to Chu Huan's words, and asked tentatively: "Brother Chu, you mean that Japan's future industrial outlet lies in semiconductors?"

  Chu Huan nodded and said: "That's right, South Korea and Japan are both resource-poor regions. If they want to develop their economies quickly, they must rely on high technology to win, and semiconductors are very cutting-edge technology at the moment.

  At present, only Japan and North America have semiconductor technology. Although semiconductor technology is just in its infancy, I assert that it will definitely become the trend of social development in ten years. "

   "Since this is the case, why don't you develop the semiconductor industry, Director Chu?" Li Jianxi finally couldn't help asking after hearing what Chu Huan said.

  Li Bingzhe's face changed suddenly, and he reprimanded: "Jianxi!"

  Li Jianxi sat up straight and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry."

  Li Bingzhe said to Chu Huan with apology: "Director Chu, I'm sorry, young people are ignorant, don't take offense!"

  Chu Huan waved his hands and smiled: "It's okay, Mr. Li just didn't understand the problem for the time being!"

Although Li Jianxi has just been reprimanded by his father, in fact, as Chu Huan said, he has not yet figured out the key to the problem. This question was suppressed by Li Jianxi, and he decided to wait for Chu Huan to leave. father asked.

At this time, Li Jianxi was not worried that his inquiry would make his father dissatisfied. Many company successors, in the process of succeeding, always hope to prove that they are smarter and far-sighted than their parents. So they are very reluctant to listen to the opinions of their parents, and want to do something successfully under their own leadership.

This is used to prove their thesis, but in fact, their parents actually hope that they learn from themselves, because their parents have richer experience and experience, although they may not have the same experience in the development of emerging industries. My younger generations have better sensitivity, but their experience and experience can ensure that they will avoid many detours on the road ahead.

  Li Jianxi understands this, so he asks his father about such things. Of course, he can't ask about things that are too easy, because it will make him appear incompetent!

   This is actually a matter of degree.

   "Developing semiconductors is not a small investment. If it fails, the entire Samsung may lose it!"

  Li Bingzhe preached to Chu Huan.

   Regarding this point, Chu Huan has no doubts. In fact, when Li Bingzhe wanted to get involved in the semiconductor industry in another time and space, the outside world called this transformation of Samsung Samsung's third venture.

   "President, why are you bothering? If you don't get out in time now, it will be too late after the company starts. What if you regret it in the future?"

"President, you should stop doing this kind of unnecessary challenge. A few years ago, there were many entrepreneurs who studied semiconductors for a long time under the instruction of President Park Chung-hee, but finally gave up. So many people have done it. If we don’t, we certainly won’t succeed.”

"President, we are still unable to meet the requirements for developing semiconductors in terms of capital and technology. Moreover, the semiconductor market is now firmly occupied by North America and Japan. Semiconductors are high-input industries. We can do it, but if we want to catch up with and surpass the companies in these two countries, even if we sell all of Samsung, it is impossible, and the financial risk we need to take is too great!"

   These are the voices of opposition within Samsung, but in the end, Li Bingzhe was arbitrary and launched the semiconductor industry.

   This also gave Samsung a pivotal right to speak in the semiconductor field later!

   But no matter what, entering the semiconductor industry at this time is indeed a very risky thing for Samsung.

  Chu Huan said with a smile: "If President Li has any problems with funds, we can provide appropriate help."

  Li Bingzhe looked at Chu Huan seriously, and did not directly express his position on this matter, but asked, "What does President Chu mean?"

   "Our bank A has a lot of business in North America, and the head office of Alder Commercial Bank is in North America. If possible, Alder Commercial Bank can help President Li with funding problems!"

  Chu Huan preached easily.

This is actually Chu Huan's plan. Whether it is Xiangjiang or his hometown, there is actually no soil for research and development of semiconductors. If Chu Huan wants to be familiar with this industry in advance and have the right to speak in this industry, he must follow South Korea's Samsung, the one on Taiwan Island will carry out such cooperation.

   In this case, Chu Huan can request the two companies to send management personnel, and at the same time, after the management personnel enter the field, they can develop their own technical personnel internally.

The most important thing is that Chu Huan can obtain the right to use some of the patents of these companies in this field, instead of being stuck in various patents like later generations, even if they want to enter this industry from their hometown neck.

  Of course, Chu Huan is the one who benefits the most. After all, many emerging industries in later generations cannot do without the use of semiconductors.

   After listening to it, Li Bingzhe still did not express his opinion. This is a huge plan, and Li Bingzhe must weigh various situations before giving Chu Huan an accurate answer.

  However, this conversation made the relationship between them seem more harmonious.

   Until Chu Huan asked to leave, the dining table was full of laughter.

  Li Jianxi sent Chu Huan to the parking lot again, then came to Li Bingzhe's study, and asked the question that he had been wondering just now.

   "Father, since semiconductors are the future direction of development, why doesn't Chu Huan enter this industry himself?"

  Although Li Bingzhe knew that his son would come back at this time, when he saw that Li Jianxi really came back, his face was still a little disappointed.

"You should leave with Chu Huan at this time to deepen the relationship between the two of you, instead of coming back to ask me this question, because I am here at any time, so I can answer this question to you at any time, but Chu Huan is in Seoul. It won't be long!"

  Li Jianxi raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Father, I have let you down!"

  Li Bingzhe waved his hand and said, "Forget it, it's not a big deal."

  Afterwards, Li Bingzhe preached to Li Jianxi: "Let me ask you, where is Chu Huan from?"

   "Xiangjiang!" Li Jianxi replied directly.

  Li Bingzhe nodded and said: "When we do business to our level, we can't just look at the business level, but pay more attention to the world's political situation.

  Chu Huan has a lot of investments in North America, Europe, Japan and other places, but have you noticed a problem? "

  Li Jianxi bowed his head and replied: "Please tell me clearly, father!"

Li Bingzhe said: "Chu Huan's business in these areas, except for the slightly sensitive banking industry, his other business has not actually involved high-tech fields. This is where Chu Huan is smart, because he can't get involved in these fields. If he If these fields are involved, his business in these areas will definitely be hit, and even his original business will be affected!

   Now do you see the key? "

  Li Jianxi pondered for a moment, finally understood what his father meant, and said: "So father, you mean that Chu Huan's identity is actually doomed, and he can't make a difference in this industry?"

Li Bingzhe nodded and said: "Yes, my people also investigated that Chu Huan has a lot of investment in Huaguo. Although the situation in China and the United States has changed, it is impossible for North America to let Huaguo achieve anything in such a core field." This is actually the way North America wants to contain the development of Huaguo to some extent.

Chu Huan must have understood this point, so he would not personally invest in this industry, and the only thing he can do now is to use North American funds to choose to infiltrate this industry. What is best for him. "

  As the saying goes, one knows a hundred things, at this time Li Jianxi already understood what Chu Huan meant, so he naturally guessed what his father Li Bingzhe meant.

"So father, you didn't agree to Chu Huan's funds entering our group before. In fact, you didn't want to reject Chu Huan's funds. You just wanted to weigh the various forces. At the same time, you also wanted to give Chu Huan a sense of crisis and tell him that we are not He is not the only partner, when Chu Huan has a sense of crisis, we can better have more say in this project!?"

Li Bingzhe nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Yes, there is almost a consensus in the entire Asian business community, that is, Chu Huan must have a lot of cash in his hands. If there is this cash in, we can get rid of it." The right to speak of other forces in this project, correspondingly, our own right to speak is even more important!"

.

   "Old fox!"

  Chu Huan, who was sitting in the car and was going to see Zheng Mengjiu, was also complaining about Li Bingzhe helplessly at this time.

   Li Jianxi can see the problem, Chu Huan can also see it, the other party is suppressing him, wants to make him spend more cash, but has the least right to speak.

   "It seems that we still need to add some material to this old fox, let him know that he can't see so far!"

Chu Huan silently thought, the reason why Li Bingzhe dared to do this now is actually because in his opinion, if he wants to enter this industry, he must rely on their Samsung. After all, in North America at this time, This has already formed a scale.

   It is simply impossible for me to enter it again.

   "If you want to add some material to the other party, then there are two ways. The first is to add competitors to him, so that the other party understands that you are not the only one."

   Speaking of this, Chu Huan thought of the one from Taiwan Island, who should still be at Texas Instruments.

"The other way is to let the other party understand that I don't have to enter this industry. Anyway, this industry is a very expensive industry in the early stage. Even if Samsung succeeds in keeping up with North America and Japan, their size can Can you stand up to this money-burning war?"

   In fact, Samsung did survive.

Although Chu Huan only talked about semiconductors with Li Bingzhe today, in fact, Li Bingzhe has always been concerned about this industry. Whether it is going to Japan to learn from or go to North America for research, Li Bingzhe is actually leading Samsung for himself. determination to transform.

  In fact, in 1974, Li Bingzhe bought a South Korean semiconductor company.

Then Li Bingzhe finally decided to enter the semiconductor industry in 1983 after many investigations. In order to achieve success, Li Bingzhe went to Silicon Valley more than 50 times, introduced technology and talents, and devoted great efforts and investment. Higher than he imagined, year after year, all he got was constant losses.

   But this did not stop Li Bingzhe from wanting to make semiconductors. In the same year, Samsung built its first semiconductor factory in Giheung, Gyeonggi-do, officially declaring war on memory.

  But the memory industry is a very strange industry. Like chemicals, it is asset-heavy and has a strong cycle. The price fluctuates greatly.

  The advantage is that once you survive the recession, you will be the boss of the world.

   In this industry, there is almost only one strategy, either take money to kill the opponent, or be killed by the opponent with money.

  Intel is the earliest player in this industry. It put DRAM into large-scale applications in 1970 and swept 80% of the market four years later. After that, the Japanese suddenly emerged and defeated Intel.

  Samsung, as a latecomer with no market position, can only bear the burden of humiliation, from talent to technology, step by step. There is a price to pay for being a student. Taking food from other people's bowls, chasing and intercepting them, and short-circuiting and blocking them are all commonplace.

  Samsung’s price was paid wave after wave, and he was also beaten round after round by his opponents. In the wind and rain, in the precarious wind and rain, Li Bingzhe became more frustrated and courageous, insisting that Qingshan would not let go.

   Even so, the road ahead is still bumpy.

  First, the technical difficulties were difficult. In 1983, when Samsung developed 64K DRAM, the key technology was 5 years behind Japan. When it came to 256K, it was 2 years behind Japan; when it was 1M, it was still 1 year behind.

After finally breaking through the technical blockade, it encountered the first recession in the industry. In 1984, as soon as Samsung launched 64K DRAM, the price of memory plummeted, from 4 dollars per piece to 30 cents per piece. 1.3 dollars per piece, in other words, a loss of 1 dollar per piece produced.

   During this period, the Samsung people were ridiculed by Japan. But they didn't pay attention to it, they worked hard, concentrated their energy, and worked hard.

   Until the end of 1986, Samsung had a cumulative loss of 300 million US dollars, and all equity capital was short.

   In the second year, Li Bingzhe passed away.

   On the day he closed his eyes, he also failed to see Samsung Semiconductor making a profit.

  300 million US dollars is nothing to Chu Huan, but Chu Huan is different from Samsung. Under the general environment, North America is willing to see South Korea and Japan compete, after all, they can benefit from it.

   But Chu Huan is different, the same sentence, if Chu Huan gets involved in this industry, even if Chu Huan has sufficient funds to do this at this time, Chu Huan does not have an absolute market to accommodate his semiconductors.

So if you want to make a living in this industry, you have to wait until your hometown develops. At that time, Chu Huan may be able to make a living in this industry by relying on his growing global prestige and increasing audience chips. Forge ahead!

Speaking of Samsung, Chu Huan has sufficient funds, but Samsung does not. I have just said that Samsung, which lost 300 million US dollars at the time, almost lost all its equity. That is when Chu Huan really exerted his strength. .

   "Since you want to consume it, then consume it all!"

  Chu Huan leaned back on the seat with a smile on his face.

   Soon, Chu Huan came to the private club and met Quan Zaiguo and Zheng Mengjiu.

  At the same time, the private room is already full of feasting, singing and dancing.

  When Chu Huan came in, he saw Quan Zaiguo licking wine on a girl's body. The girl's body was the container.

   "Haha, Ah Huan, you are finally here, how is your chat with that old fox Li Bingzhe?" Quan Zaiguo said indifferently after seeing Chu Huan.

   "Personal friendship chats are very good, but business affairs are not so smooth!" Chu Huan randomly found an empty seat and sat down.

   Quan Zaiguo smiled proudly: "The old fox is notoriously cunning, it is not so easy for you to take advantage of him!"

Chu Huan did not tell Quan Zaiguo the specific matters that he and Li Bingzhe wanted to cooperate with, and said indifferently: "It doesn't matter, South Korea is not only a Samsung group, you can't cooperate with Samsung, you can also cooperate with Hyundai what!"

   Zheng Mengjiu smiled wryly, "Mr. Chu, I suspect that you are exposing my scars!"

Chu Huan smiled and said, "Mr. Zheng thought too much. Although we can't cooperate on the matter of Xiangjiang, it doesn't mean we can't cooperate on other matters. It just so happens that Mr. Quan is here today. Why don't I choose?" For a project, let us cooperate with three parties, you provide resources, I provide funds, and the whole son provides contacts, when the time comes, we will cooperate with the three parties, how about sharing the benefits equally?"

Quan Zaiguo and Zheng Mengjiu both showed expressions of interest at the same time. Chu Huan is not the second generation like them. Chu Huan is a real business tycoon who controls his own consortium. What's more, it is a global business Tycoon, it is definitely not a small project for such a person to cooperate!

  Quan Zaiguo couldn't hide the matter in his heart, and immediately asked Chu Huan: "Director Chu, what project do you want to talk about?"

   Zheng Mengjiu also looked at Chu Huan curiously, the light in his eyes couldn't be hidden no matter what.

Chu Huan said with a smile: "I know that the South Korean government has been developing Gangnam District these years. The people in my company have already seen the land over there, and there are still many undeveloped projects. You two, the development of Gangnam District has been unstoppable. It’s settled, if we can form a real estate company at this time, with my funds, Mr. Quan’s contacts, and Mr. Zheng’s resources, then the entire Jiangnan District will not be up to us?”

   Quan Zaiguo patted the turbulent waves of the girl beside him, and said happily: "Yes, why didn't I think of this matter?"

   Zheng Mengjiu also showed an expression of interest.

Chu Huan looked at the expressions of the two of them with a smile on his face. His Jiaku would definitely not touch the house in Xiangjiang, but in South Korea and Japan, there is no such thing to say. Anyway, there will be Zheng Mengjiu at that time. Quan Zaiguo and the two stood in front, and it wasn't him who was scolded.

  The most important thing is that the commercial atmosphere in Jiangnan is not so strong at this time. If Chu Huan can use the relationship between the two of them reasonably, it may be that their company will be the biggest land king in Jiangnan District in the future!

   The typo was corrected first and then corrected. My body is more comfortable than the previous few days, but I just kept sneezing and sneezing. I will continue to try to code words. If I finish writing later, I will release it. If I don’t finish writing, everyone forgive me~
