Chapter 224 Many Big Bosses
Not long after Su Cheng stayed at the Metropolitan Opera House, Yang Chaoye came back.

"Boss, why didn't you tell me in advance when you came?" Yang Chaoye said in surprise when he saw Su Cheng.

"There's nothing important, so I didn't tell you in advance. I heard that you were going to pick up an important person?" Su Cheng asked with a smile.

"Well, yes, the person I went to pick up was Mr. Gordon Moore, the founder of Intel. In fact, I got to know him when he was at Fairchild. When he left Fairchild, he worked with Noyce and others. When 8 people founded Intel together, they invited me, but I was already in senior management at IBM, and the future of a start-up company was still unknown, so I didn’t agree to him in the end, but we have always been good friends. We invited him to attend our press conference for the first time, but he readily agreed." Yang Chaoye replied.

Gordon Moore?

As soon as he mentioned this big boss, Su Cheng immediately knew who he was.

There is a law that brings an enterprise to the pinnacle of success, and this law is "Moore's Law".

The discoverer of this law is none other than Gordon Moore, one of the founders of Intel.

Su Cheng had heard of Moore's Law a lot in his previous life, and once went out of his way to look up information on Gordon Moore.

This is indeed an admirable technology leader.

What a coincidence. I was quietly absorbing Intel stock and became a shareholder of Intel, and this big guy came over?
it's fate!
The two walked to a row of seats in the theater and found a seat to sit down.

"Where are the others?" Su Cheng asked.

"After sending him to the hotel, I said goodbye to him. I just got off the plane and needed to rest." Yang Chaoye replied.

"Well, how many big shots have you invited?" Su Cheng asked.

"So far, as far as I know, there should be more than 20 boss-level people. In addition, there are some who will arrive tomorrow morning. They are mainly people who have friendships with me. They have relatively big names in the technology industry. Contributions come from Intel, IBM, Storage Technologies, Technology Atlanta, Kodak, Digital Equipment Corporation, International Business Machines, Texas Instruments, etc. Most of these people have worked at IBM and have worked with me. It's a good relationship between colleagues, and some of them are former partners." Yang Chaoye said lightly.

More than 20 bosses have come, and as for his former subordinates, there may be even more people who have benefited from him.

Su Cheng had to sigh that Yang Chaoye's connections in the beautiful country were really too strong.

This is what he has accumulated over decades in the technology world.

This is enough to show that Yang Chaoye is very capable, which can be seen from the circle of friends he has made.

"Is the president of IBM here?" Su Cheng asked with a smile.

He was very curious whether this former colleague of Yang Chaoye, a former competitor in the workplace, was really here.

"Come here, Mr. Frank T. Cary, President of IBM, must be on a business trip in New York. He contacted me in the morning and confirmed that he will attend my press conference on time tomorrow morning." Yang Chaoye nodded.

Su Cheng nodded. This press conference was really full of talents.

"By the way, boss, I won't be able to accompany you for another half hour. I have to go to the airport to pick up an extremely important person." Yang Chaoye continued.

"Oh? Who is it?" Su Cheng asked curiously.

"I wonder if the boss has heard of Zhang Zhongmou?" Yang Chaoye asked. "Zhang Zhongmou, that person from Texas Instruments?" Su Cheng was surprised.

Unexpectedly, Yang Chaoye actually knew Zhang Zhongmou.

But when I think of his previous identity, it becomes clear.

IBM and Texas Instruments are both powerful players in the U.S. technology industry.

Zhang Zhongmou's current position should be vice president of Texas Instruments. His position is the same as Yang Chaoye's previous position at IBM.

Speaking of Zhang Zhongmou, few people don't know him. Suzhou knows him not because he once served as vice president of Texas Instruments, but because he is the founder of TSMC.

This man single-handedly built TSMC into the world's most powerful semiconductor manufacturing company. At this time, he was still serving as the company's third-ranking figure at Texas Instruments, behind the chairman and president.

In the early 70s, Texas Instruments became the world's largest company, with 6 employees worldwide, half of whom were managed by Zhang Zhongmou.

Today, although IBM has surpassed Texas Instruments in terms of market value, Texas Instruments' strength is still there, and it is still one of the top technology companies in the beautiful country.

"Boss, do you also know Mr. Zhang Zhongmou?" Yang Chaoye said in surprise.

"It's not surprising that I've heard of him. He became the vice president of Texas Instruments a long time ago and is considered a famous figure in the technology world." Su Cheng said with a smile.

In fact, he didn't know Zhang Zhongmou because of Texas Instruments at all. Of course, it was impossible for Su Cheng to tell the real situation.

"Yes, because we are both Chinese, Mr. Zhang Zhongmou and I are very good friends. I am more than ten years older than him, but I also admire him very much. He was promoted to the general manager of the integrated circuit department of Texas Instruments at the age of 34. , by the age of 41, he was already the third person in charge of Texas Instruments, and I only became the vice president of IBM in my early 50s." Yang Chaoye said with emotion.

"It is said that he has a disagreement with the president of Texas Instruments. Is this true?" Su Cheng asked, remembering that he had seen information about Zhang Zhongmou.

"I didn't expect you, boss, to even know this. Yes, he has always had disagreements with Mr. Xia Bai, the president of Texas Instruments, on development strategies. The two often quarreled in meetings. In fact, his experience is somewhat similar to mine. Because of this , the two of us can be said to regard each other as confidants. Although I am more than ten years older, it does not delay our relationship at all." Yang Chaoye said with a smile.

In the late 1970s, Intel was unbeatable in the memory market. The then president, Xia Bai, valued consumer electronics and was unwilling to invest more in semiconductors. Zhang Zhongmou, on the other hand, had a strong personality and was unwilling to compromise. He loudly called for more investment on different occasions inside and outside the company. semiconductor.

This is information that Su Cheng has seen before, and it seems to be true.

Today, it is the late 70s, and in a little more than a year, we will enter the 80s.

Moreover, today's Intel has indeed begun to rise.

Unexpectedly, Yang Chaoye was not only friends with the president of Intel, but Zhang Zhongmou was also his good friend. This was really unexpected.

Suddenly, Su Cheng had an idea: Why not recruit Zhang Zhongmou?

Now is a good time!
A few years later, Zhang Zhongmou left Texas Instruments and eventually founded TSMC in Bayan at the invitation of relevant departments there.

Now, while he has not yet established TSMC, if he doesn’t do it now, then when?
