Chapter 1287: worth it

Tan Zhenhua stayed in the "Spectrum Villa" for more than a week. During this period, Guo Zhaode and Yu Pengxia also made a special visit and had several rounds of secret negotiations with the general manager of Moscow International Commercial Bank Vinogradov. And reached a final agreement-Xiangjiang Hang Lung Bank will be the lender of this loan, the Russian state government will be the borrower of this loan, the specific operation process will be carried out by the Moscow International Commercial Bank, at the same time, the bank is promising This loan bears the obligation of joint liability for breach of contract.
Although an agreement was reached, both Guo Zhaode and Yu Pengxia were skeptical about this loan. In their view, the Soviet Russian government is an untrustworthy and cooperative client, and the power of this client is too strong. , Which makes the work of loan recovery quite difficult and may face unforeseen risks.
Tan Zhenhua did not explain this, but just told them that this loan is just the beginning, and there may be more such loans in the future, but he assured them that there is no need to worry about loan recovery issues, if these businesses really happen in the future. For bad debts, he can use his own due income in the "Red Flag Fund" to compensate.
Guo Zhaode and Yu Pengxia categorically rejected Tan Zhenhua’s compensation plan. In fact, with their current net worth, a loss of 1 billion U.S. dollars is completely affordable, and it doesn’t matter if it is even greater. And they know very well that without Tan Zhenhua, they It is impossible to obtain these wealth. This young man is the "noble man" in their lives. He and their destiny have long been tightly tied together. They trusted him, and he never failed their trust. When faced with At the moment of major decision-making, they will naturally regard him as the person who is qualified to make the final decision, as Guo Zhaode often said in private chat:
Tan Zhenhua has a pair of eyes that can see through the future, so sometimes he does His decision seems unbelievable or even completely out of normal logic, but even if I doubt it anymore, I still choose to implement it according to his judgment, because the final development of the matter always proves that he is correct."
After completing the normal issuance of the first loan with the Soviet Union, Tan Zhenhua has a practical cooperative relationship with the "Spectrum Club" and the "Knights Templar". The so-called "ally relationship" has finally changed from a paper talk to a practical operation. At the same time, he finally actually began to intervene in Soviet Russia affairs.
This is the beginning. The empire is collapsing. There are countless predators staring at this dying behemoth. There is no doubt that the corpse after the death of the behemoth will become all the scavengers on this blue star. The most abundant gluttonous feast, as for how much nutrients can be snatched from this corpse, it depends on the methods of each family.
...
Wakuni, Toshiba Headquarters Building, 1-1 Shibaura 1-chome, Minato-ku, Tokyo.
When Fujio Masuoka stood at the door of this familiar building again, his mood was extremely complicated.
He used to be one of the countless people who entered and exited this building every day. Since he graduated from university and entered Toshiba, he has worked here for more than 20 years. He has also imagined countless times that he will be in this building just like people with similar experiences. He spent his entire career in the building until he met a young Chinese man on a flight to the United States, and started a brand new journey.
And that, it was already 5 years ago.
He still remembers that when he submitted his resignation to the company that year, the heads of HR and the company’s top leaders showed the puzzlement and pity in their eyes—yes, Fujio Masuoka must be pity, because at that time, Without the "Matrix Lab" that is now well-known throughout the world, Tan Zhenhua is just a young genius who has just emerged. In the eyes of the colossal Toshiba, he is not even qualified to be regarded as an opponent. He leaves when he reaches middle age. Toshiba, abandoning generous treatment and a stable career, leaving his hometown to join such a small company with uncertain future, this person must be crazy.
And that is already more than 4 years ago.
Is it all worth it?
It seems that it is all worthwhile.
Whenever I think back to this period of history, Fujio Masuoka would even regret that he had agreed to the young man who invited him without being on that flight!
This is not only because this young man gave him a generous salary several times that of Toshiba, but also because he has truly fulfilled his promise and not only helped him build the best and most advanced microelectronics laboratory in the world, but also I have given him full trust. Regardless of whether the project is progressing smoothly or encountering setbacks, I trust him, support him, and encourage him as always, but there must be a response to what he asks. Fujio Masuoka feels that there can be such a person. The boss, I'm afraid, is the dream of all scientific researchers?
Zhang Zhongmou has the same complicated mood as him.
Due to the strategic partnership between the "Matrix" laboratory and a number of Japanese companies, more than half of the production capacity of "Huaxin Microelectronics" is prepared for the needs of these Japanese companies. There are a wide range of products, digital and analog. Both.
In particular, Toshiba is one of the major customers of "Huaxin Microelectronics" because Toshiba is authorized by MIPS to design and produce CPU products that conform to the MIPS architecture. They also like this kind of relatively autonomy In this way, the computing core CPU of Toshiba notebook computers is the product of self-improvement and adjustment after purchasing the authorization. In addition to the production of these chips in Toshiba’s own semiconductor factory, "Huaxin Microelectronics" also undertakes part of the production task.
But it is undeniable that "Huaxin Microelectronics" is still a very young company with limited accumulation. The semiconductor foundry model pioneered by it is not currently the mainstream of the industry. Most of the semiconductor industry leaders are particularly It is the large companies occupying the top of the industry that the first consideration is to produce their own chips and hand them to "Huaxin Microelectronics" those orders, or "Matrix Labs" some products with intellectual property rights, such as Toshiba commissioned CPU, The CCDs commissioned by Sony are either general-purpose chips with low technical content, such as various power amplifiers and standard interface chips. This shows that the "semiconductor foundry" model has not been generally accepted.
Zhang Zhongmou knew that the best way to completely open the situation was to break through a particular product.
This product, of course, is the most widely used DRAM chip.
However, Zhang Zhongmou also knows that compared with the country of Japan, which has already occupied an absolute market advantage, the pioneer of the industry, the country of South Korea, and even Nan Gaoli, which has been aggressive and surpassed in recent years, "Huaxin Microelectronics" has accumulated too much in DRAM. Weak, if there is no formal source of technology, only one's own strength will definitely be blocked by the technical barriers piled up by countless patents, and it is almost impossible to enter this market.
Unless there is a miracle.
But a young man told him that today is the day to witness miracles.
"Let's go in." Tan Zhenhua said, his smile full of sunshine and confidence.
