Chapter 1171 Hexagonal Warrior

"I see!"

"President Li, please rest assured, I will definitely make sure Dongxin fills the last gap!"

Wu Xinyi understood Li Dongling's meaning: Dongxin was an outsider in America and would definitely not be able to outlast the local American companies.

Li Dongling nodded, then patted Wu Xinyi on the shoulder.

Having acquired the MIPS architecture, Dongxin Semiconductor can be said to have become a hexagonal warrior integrating lithography machines, chip design, chip architecture, and chip manufacturing!
You can think of it as a combination of ASML, TSMC, and Intel from a previous life!
Of course, this is just a metaphor. As for Dongxin Semiconductor now, let alone reaching the level of the three-way alliance, even if you pick it out individually, Dongxin can't even catch up with their taillights.

Dongxin is heading in that direction, but whether it can reach the finish line depends on luck.

However, one thing is certain: if Dongxin continues to develop for a few more years, it will likely be able to protect itself to some extent.

Even if some crazy members of Congress in the United States suddenly launch an attack on Dongxin, they will find it difficult to destroy Dongxin in one fell swoop.

Moreover, Dongxin has the opportunity to become an independent entity in the chip industry and build its own industrial chain. At that time, sanctions and sales bans will have an impact on Dongxin, but it won't be to the point of being unable to survive.

Similarly, as long as Dongxin can stand up, Dongling Hi-Tech will not have to worry about encountering the same fate that Huawei faced during its overseas expansion in its previous life.

In its previous life, when Huawei was fiercely battling Apple overseas and had even gained a slight advantage in old Europe, America suddenly attacked Huawei with a chip sales ban, wiping out all the overseas markets that Huawei had painstakingly developed.

They even banned the sale of advanced lithography machines to mainland China, wanting to completely cut off Huawei's connection to domestic chip manufacturing, just like the sophon in the Three-Body Problem who locked down Earth's technology.

Li Dongling didn't want Dongling Hi-Tech to suffer the same fate. The future of Dongxin Semiconductor was crucial, and it even affected how long Dongling Hi-Tech could maintain its strength!

Furthermore, if Dongxin Semiconductor manages to overtake its competitors and develop an EUV lithography machine first, things could get very interesting, and it's uncertain who will be at the mercy of whom...

"If we can acquire Meipusi, we should try our best to retain all the design team members. We can improve the conditions and recruit more technical personnel from the chip industry to join Meipusi."

Furthermore, for the establishment of R&D centers in Singapore and Hong Kong, if members of the MIPS architecture team are willing to work in these two locations, they can be paid 1.5 to 2 times their annual salary!

Li Dongling said that if they could acquire MIPS, they would definitely move MIPS and the MIPS architecture team out of America as soon as possible, otherwise who knows what kind of trouble might arise in the future.

Li the philanthropist was skeptical of the integrity of powerful figures in America, who were known for their unscrupulous and unethical behavior.

Wu Xinyi never expected that Li Dongling would be so cautious about the United States, which is now the object of countless people's dreams in China.

Now Wu Xinyi is starting to believe a rumor circulating within Dongling Hi-Tech that Dongling Hi-Tech North America Group is just an empty shell, and even the office desks and chairs are rented.

Previously, Wu Xinyi did not believe this rumor, after all, Dongling Hi-Tech's revenue in America was not low in recent years, especially the Feiyan MP3, which sold extremely well in America.

The rise of MP3s even spurred the development of online music, and the resulting piracy issues severely impacted major American record labels.

But now, seeing Li Dongling's attitude, Wu Xinyi felt that the rumors were probably true. It was unbelievable that the great philanthropist Li had actually set up an empty city stratagem in America!

After giving Wu Xinyi his instructions, the latter left in a hurry. He was going to America the next day and still had a lot of things to take care of.

After Wu Xinyi left, Li Dongling glanced at the still calm water and the motionless fishing rod, and felt that today's fish food probably didn't suit the tastes of the fish in the fish farm.

Li, the philanthropist, felt that after investing in Guangwei and developing carbon fiber fishing rods, he should invest in a few more fish food companies. He felt that the fish food currently on the market was simply too unattractive.

Poor quality fish food is the real reason anglers fail; it's not a fault of the anglers themselves...

After stopping fishing, Li Dongling arrived at the resort restaurant, where another figure hurriedly followed.

"Junior Brother Lü, please sit down!"

Li Dongling asked Lü Wenhua, who had rushed over, to sit down and have a meal with him.

In fact, Lü Wenhua played the role of a firefighter on Li Dongling's side, constantly running around putting out fires.

After they had almost finished eating, Li Dongling wiped his lips and said to Lü Wenhua, "Junior Brother Lü, Wu Xinyi is going to America tomorrow, and I'm afraid you'll have to make the trip!"

Lu Wenhua was not surprised by Li Dongling's words and was mentally prepared for them.

"Mr. Li, please speak!"

“You should have heard that Ed from Microsoft came to Pingyang before. Now, it’s time to add fuel to the fire. This time, you go to America to meet David Burnett, the founder of GeoCities, and persuade him to agree to the sale of GeoCities!”

"I think both Microsoft and Yahoo are very interested in GeoCities. Perhaps the American Internet will witness the largest transaction in Internet history. Who knows?"
The golden age of the internet needs an epic acquisition to embellish it!

Lu Wenhua realized that Li the Great Philanthropist was planning to pit Yahoo and Microsoft against each other so that he could sell the GeoCities website for an astronomical price!
In its previous life, GeoCities was sold to Yahoo for a mere $36 billion. How could that be acceptable? It was far too unbecoming of Yahoo's status as the largest internet giant.

"Not only GeoCities, but also companies like ASK and Souxin, you can help them find suitable investors during your trip to America so they can continue to shine in the American internet industry."

The Zhi Xing Foundation shouldn't hinder the future of these internet companies!

Li Dongling looked as if he was deeply concerned about the American internet industry. This philanthropist couldn't stand seeing a gem go to waste, which is understandable given his kind heart.

Sending Lu Wenhua to America this time will likely require him to stay there for quite some time. He needs to promote companies like GeoCities and find buyers for them, which will take a considerable amount of time.

After thinking for a moment, Lü Wenhua said, "President Li, I need help from Dongling High-Tech North America Group. Also, I would like to ask Larson for help!"

Larson charges high fees, but he truly does his job for the money, especially when it comes to hype. This vulture lawyer has now reached a level of unparalleled skill.

"no problem!"

"If you have any needs, you can ask Dongling High-Tech North America Group for help."

“I will personally call Larson!” Li Dongling said, raising his glass to Lü Wenhua.

Larson is Dongling High-Tech's most "steadfast" ally; as long as there is profit to be made, Larson is capable of anything.

……

The next day at Pingyang Airport, Wu Xinyi sat on the Gulfstream private jet and couldn't help but shift his body slightly. This was also his first time riding in a private jet of this level.

Compared to business jets, the level of luxury and comfort is worlds apart, although Li Dongling is willing to lend his private jet to the senior executives of Dongling High-Tech who need to travel long distances.

However, Wu Xinyi was still quite sensible and only used the public areas and facilities of his private jet. He knew which things he could touch and which he couldn't.

Just as Wu Xinyi settled down and waited for the plane to take off, he saw several people walk in. When he saw Lü Wenhua, who was leading the group, Wu Xinyi was surprised. He didn't expect Lü Wenhua to be going with him.

"Mr. Wu!"

"Manager Lü!"

Wu Xinyi and Lü Wenhua greeted each other and exchanged pleasantries for a while. The two were not strangers; Lü Wenhua was the one who accompanied Wu Xinyi on his first trip to America.

Later, Wu Xinyi learned what Lü Wenhua had actually done during his trip to America.

Less than a year later, Yahoo went public, and the Zhi Xing Foundation became a prominent shareholder, making the Zhi Xing Foundation a legendary entity!
After the private jet arrived at New York Airport, Zhou Hualiang, president of Dongling High-Tech North America Group, personally picked up Wu Xinyi and his companion.

As a regional lord of Dongling Hi-Tech, Zhou Hualiang dared not be negligent towards the senior executives from Dongling Hi-Tech's headquarters. Regardless of whether the visitors would affect his position, Zhou Hualiang was unwilling to offend them easily.

Given Zhou Hualiang's current position, he'd be too busy seeking support from powerful figures at Dongling High-Tech headquarters to risk offending anyone.

If Zhou Hualiang were in America now, he would be considered an upper-class person, a top-tier figure among Chinese Americans in the American workplace. Countless people are envious of his position, and Zhou Hualiang certainly doesn't want to lose it!
However, after getting off the plane, Wu Xinyi and Lü Wenhua did not travel together. Instead, they took the information given to them by Zhou Hualiang, borrowed vehicles and manpower from Zhou Hualiang, and then left separately.

Watching the two leave, Zhou Hualiang had no complaints about being used as a tool. After all, what tool could earn a million a year with its salary and bonuses, plus the flattery of hundreds of people under its command, and the special treatment it received from powerful figures in America?

Tell me, who wouldn't want to be such a tool?

The advantage of private jets is that you don't have to endure the same ordeal as with business jets; you can rest on the plane.

Wu Xinyi didn't rest or anything, but went straight to Silicon Graphics Company.

Instead of going directly to MPIOS to find its executives, he took his men directly to Silicon Graphics, because it was Silicon Graphics, the parent company of MPIOS, that decided who to sell it to!

Wu Xinyi reviewed the documents Zhou Hualiang had given him, which contained information about Silicon Graphics and Mepusi. Silicon Graphics, a company founded by Netscape founder Jim Clark, had severed ties with Jim Clark, having ousted him years ago.

But this year, it still couldn't escape the fate of being infected by the founder's bad luck, and suffered huge losses.
