Reborn multinational giant - Chapter 824
Jiang Shangyi is a former chief operating officer of TSMC, whose position is similar to that of COO of domestic technology companies.
Including Liang Mengsong, the current CEO of SMIC, who was also his subordinate when he didn’t leave TSMC in his early years, we can see his status and ability in TSMC.
In 2006, TSMC founder Zhang Lao retired, and Jiang Shangyi retired with him.
Until 2009, TSMC was on the verge of loss under the impact of the financial crisis. Zhang came out again and Jiang Shangyi took office again.
Three years ago, TSMC’s business was back on track. With the vigorous development of smart phones in the world, TSMC, which grasps the core link of smart phone manufacturing, chip manufacturing, has achieved unprecedented brilliance.
However, at such a glorious moment, Jiang Shangyi announced his retirement again, shaking TSMC and the global chip industry!
“After so many years of development and accumulation, TSMC has cultivated a sound talent team. Now the phased objectives have been completed. I should continue my interrupted retirement life and leave the opportunity to more young people!”
At that time, Jiang Shangyi said this at the retirement ceremony held by TSMC for himself.
Many people in both TSMC and the global chip industry think that Jiang Shangyi should fade out of the chip industry and live a retirement life.
In the past two years, it has been wildly spread in the industry that famous chip funds and chip enterprise giants in the mainland have invited Jiang Shangyi to go out to the mainland for development, and Jiang Shangyi himself seems to have some intention!
Zhang Lao, the head of TSMC, was not surprised that Jiang Shangyi came to him.
From the time he heard the rumors that the mainland invited Jiang Shangyi out of the mountain, he knew that Jiang Shangyi, who had retired, would come to him one day.
In the antique chairman’s office at TSMC headquarters in Hsinchu, Mr. Zhang’s secretary delivered two cups of tea to the two TSMC giants respectively, and then quietly withdrew from the room.
“How’s it going? How’s your retirement?” Zhang asked.
“Fortunately, during the summer vacation, Hony came back from the United States with his children and stayed with me for two months. Today’s children grow really fast. I remember the last time I saw him…”
Jiang Shangyi and Zhang Lao Lao Lao chatted about family affairs. After Jiang Shangyi retired, they rarely met again. Now they talk about family affairs, and their relationship has regained their sense of familiarity.
“Hahaha, I see you. You can’t stand being lonely for a long time. The president of the United States is the same age as you. People are running for president now. If you can stand retirement for more than ten years or even decades in the future,
You won’t come to me anymore! “Said old Zhang with a smile. He has been together for many years. He knows Jiang Shangyi’s character too well.
Jiang Shangyi also smiled, and old Zhang’s attitude dispelled his worries.
“Which company in the mainland?” Mr. Zhang asked bluntly.
Jiang Shangyi looked at Zhang. Judging from his attitude just now, he should support himself, so he had no reservations. He said: “in fact, there are two. One is Xinsheng fund, which invited me to serve as vice chairman of Tongfu wechat, a mainland chip packaging and testing company.
The other is a chip enterprise jointly built by Jianghan municipal government and some mainland enterprises, called Jianghan Hongxin. It is said that the investment scale is as high as 128 billion!
They want me to be CEO. ”
“Ha ha!” old Zhang laughed when he heard this.
Based on his resourcefulness and understanding of the chip industry, he heard a lot of problems after listening to Jiang Shangyi’s introduction. However, he didn’t say it immediately, but asked:
“Where are you going?”
“I…” Jiang Shangyi didn’t answer immediately. He was guessing what Zhang laogangcai’s laughter meant.
“I originally wanted to go to jianghanhongxin. Although this is a new project, the investment is very high, and they intend to take the IDM mode integrating chip design, manufacturing and sealing and testing, which attracts me!”
Lao Zhang shook his head and asked:
“Didn’t SMIC throw you an olive branch?”
Jiang Shangyi’s heart seemed to be stung. When it comes to the mainland chip industry, the one he wants to go to most is SMIC.
Today, SMIC is the leader of the chip industry in the mainland and the apple of the eye in the hands of mainland executives and capital giants.
Whether Fang Zhe, the world’s richest man, and Simson fund are the platform of SMIC international, or the endorsement of SMIC by the national Chip Fund led by senior executives in the mainland, many people in the mainland are optimistic about and treasure SMIC international.
SMIC’s development in recent years has also lived up to expectations. Previously, it cooperated with Qualcomm and ate more and more orders from Qualcomm in the field of low-end chips. After liang Mengsong joined, the chip process of SMIC’s 14nm process gradually moved towards mass production.
All these prove that SMIC is booming and is a promising chip company.
If Jiang Shangyi is allowed to choose by himself, he naturally wants to go to SMIC to work as a senior official.
Unfortunately, two years ago, when he dug his Xinsheng fund, he also intended to invite him to SMIC. Before he promised, Xinsheng changed his tone this year and said that he was invited to go to the chip sealing and testing company to connect Fu micro power.
Xinsheng fund changed its mind before and after, which annoyed Jiang Shangyi, so it also affected his current choice more or less.
As for the reason why Xinsheng fund changed its mind, although the staff of Xinsheng fund were strict and didn’t know when asked, Jiang Shangyi still guessed.
Liang Mengsong!
Jiang Shangyi thought about it. The only reason and reason that may affect the change of Xinsheng fund is Liang Mengsong, a former old subordinate.
From their previous superiors and subordinates to the court later, I’m afraid Liang Mengsong has a grudge against himself.
But unexpectedly, Xinsheng agreed to Liang Mengsong’s request, regardless of their status. Since they treasure Liang Mengsong, don’t blame me for not selling their face here!
Looking at Jiang Shang’s thoughtful expression, old Zhang already guessed in his heart. He said:
“In fact, at your age, it doesn’t matter where you work.
The important thing is to cherish your reputation.
The only company I admire in the mainland chip industry is not SMIC or other chip industry companies, but SMIC fund.
The semiconductor industry in mainland China has been restricted for many years. The senior management in mainland China has promoted many policies and thought of many ways, but it has not improved much.
Until Xinsheng fund was established.
It has to be said that young people like Fang zhe are indeed the talent of heaven. What they do is what they do.
If he is in treasure island, in the United States, maybe
”
“You mean you want me to accept the invitation of Xinsheng fund?” Jiang Shangyi asked.
