Chapter 802: The Heaven and Earth Join Forces

As the "Huangpu Military Academy" of the domestic semiconductor industry, although Huajing's development has not been smooth in recent years, countless domestic semiconductor talents come from Huajing.

An industrial chain has been formed around Huajing over the years, including research institutes, universities, industrial chain companies, etc. The popularization of domestic televisions and even their export are also closely related to Huajing's predecessor, Factory 742.

In the 1980s, Huajing's predecessor was able to produce 30 million integrated circuits a year, allowing domestic televisions to begin large-scale mass production.

However, after the transformation into chips, Huajing's performance has been somewhat poor. Although it has now started mass production, its technology is not even as good as that of Shougang NEC, not to mention being compared with the chip factory that Doxin Semiconductor is planning to build.

But it is nonsense to say that Huajing has no talents. Both Shougang NEC and Dongxin Semiconductor have poached people from Huajing. Even the famous domestic chip factories in the past have more or less people who came from Huajing.

But that is a matter for the future. What is stimulating Huajing now is that as a rising star, Dongxin has actually received an investment of 600 million US dollars and is going to be listed on NASDAQ. The general manager of Dongxin Semiconductor is also from Huajing. The script that Dongxin is getting now should have been the script that Huajing imagined...

Before Doxin Semiconductor, the view of the entire domestic semiconductor industry was that there was no money-making potential in making chips.

Even if you have developed the technology, you won’t be able to sell the chips and you won’t be able to survive. Making chips is a dead end.

But now, in this industry that was once considered a dead end, Doxin Semiconductor has come up with a new script. Even though there are rumors that it is being targeted by America, it still received a valuation of 2 billion US dollars and 600 million US dollars in financing, which really irritated countless people.

It also made Huajing's people fall into self-doubt, not knowing what went wrong.

……

"Letting Dongxin Semiconductor be listed on Nasdaq and put it under American regulatory scrutiny is the best way to deal with instability!"

On ABC TV, there were also comments about Doxin Semiconductor, but today the semiconductor analyst from Goldman Sachs gave a completely different statement from Laura Antusson, who was previously invited by Intel.

"We can't deceive ourselves. America, old Europe, Japan, etc. are all transferring some low value-added, low-profit, environmentally polluting, and labor-intensive industries to regions led by the mainland for OEM.

Among them is Intel, which is also transferring its chip production base to Asia and is likely to establish a chip company in the mainland in the future!

In the future, Americans will be able to enjoy electronic products manufactured in China and other regions at half, or even one-third or one-quarter of the price in the past.

If we want to outsource production to mainland China or other regions, we need to transfer certain technologies to them. We can’t expect primitive people to produce modern electronic products!”

The Goldman Sachs analyst's words caused laughter at the TV recording site, and even the host couldn't help laughing.

In today's America, no one thinks there is anything wrong with what this Goldman Sachs analyst said. As the current global hegemon, shouldn't Americans enjoy life? They only need to sit in a luxurious office every day, work for a few hours, click the mouse, and command people all over the world to work for Americans, and they will get dollars.

Then take the money and enjoy all kinds of items from all over the world. This is the life imagined by Americans, and it is also the life of the citizens of the empire that Wall Street institutions portray for Americans.

Americans don’t need to do those tedious, heavy, time-consuming, labor-intensive, boring and hard work. They can all be transferred overseas. Americans just need to enjoy life with peace of mind!

“So, within a controllable range, allowing certain regions to develop certain technologies is actually beneficial to America!
Let Dongxin Semiconductor complete its listing. It is now the best semiconductor company in mainland China, but the gap between it and Intel is more than ten years, and this gap will widen further in the future.

Through Doxin Semiconductor, we can understand the technological level of the mainland semiconductor industry in real time. Similarly, if Doxin Semiconductor is listed, Americans will be able to benefit from the future development of the mainland semiconductor industry through Doxin Semiconductor!"

The Goldman Sachs analyst's words were very cryptic, but the Americans present all smiled knowingly. Mainland companies such as Doxin Semiconductor manufacture various products for Americans.

Then, America can also reap the dividends of mainland China's semiconductor development. This is simply a win-win situation. The entire mainland semiconductor industry will end up working for Americans in vain!

"boom!"

Gregory, the Asia director who returned to Intel headquarters and was waiting to report to Intel Emperor Grove, watched the report on TV and slammed his fist on the table.

"idiot!"

Gregory angrily scolded the Goldman Sachs analyst on TV who seemed to have already won over Dongxin Semiconductor, as well as the host and the audience who were laughing. It seemed that the Goldman Sachs analyst had a very good analysis. Through Dongxin Semiconductor, he could control the technological level of mainland semiconductors and put potential enemies under his nose and monitor them at any time.

It sounds good, but Gregory knows too well how big the loopholes are. This is almost a disguised way of raising a tiger to harm oneself!
Gregory has actually dealt with Dongxin Semiconductor. He knows very well that the key to Dongxin Semiconductor does not lie in itself, but in its parent company Dongling Hi-Tech. It is useless to just focus on Dongxin Semiconductor.

Moreover, given the nature of Wall Street institutions, once the stock price of Donxin Semiconductor goes up, if they still remember to restrict Donxin's technology, that would be crazy. For the sake of US dollars, they will definitely push up Donxin's stock price and market value. By then, there will be no way they can restrict Donxin Semiconductor!

Originally, Gregory was wary of Doxin Semiconductor, but he was not too worried. His plan was to let mainland companies such as Lianxiang hold back Shenzhou Computer and Doxin Semiconductor to prevent them from continuing to develop.

After Intel has dealt with those Japanese semiconductor companies, it can turn around and beat Dongxin to death with one blow.

But now, seeing the operation of Doxin Semiconductor, Gregory was a little worried. He could feel that the person who operated Doxin was definitely a master in controlling timing.

Gregory couldn't understand how Dongxin attracted investments from Microsoft, Goldman Sachs, and Walden International, and how it gave such a high valuation. It was all full of mystery, and Gregory couldn't understand Dongxin as his opponent.

Now that there has been a deviation, Gregory's plans have been disrupted, but Gregory is unable to change his plans because Intel has also entered a turbulent period.

Grove, the old emperor who has controlled Intel for more than ten years, has decided to retire. He will definitely leave by next year at the latest.

Now there are undercurrents within Intel regarding the selection of the new emperor. Gregory definitely has no chance, but he also needs to go back to Intel headquarters and place his bets in advance.

It has always been the case that a new emperor appoints new ministers. For Intel, if the new president is not of the same mind as the current president, Grove, then Intel may experience a period of turmoil.

By then, the new president will definitely make adjustments to the senior management, especially since Grove has been the president of Intel for more than ten years and the entire Intel is full of Grove's confidants.

Next year, Intel's new president will take office. Whether he likes it or not, for the sake of his own power, he will have to adjust Intel's senior executives, or even carry out a bloody purge. Otherwise, will Intel be controlled by Grove's cronies or by the new president?
Gregory, as Intel's top official, wanted to place his bet in advance, otherwise he was afraid that his position would change when the new president took office.

Gregory was worried and waited for Grove's meeting.

After entering the office of the Intel Emperor, Gregory was shocked to see that the former emperor was now obviously much older.

In Gregory's impression, Grove was always the energetic and aggressive emperor. Now he was in a state as if he had let out a sigh of relief, which was something he had never seen before.

"President Grove!"

Gregory stood there and said to Grove that although Grove's current condition was not as good as before, Gregory did not dare to underestimate this tiger.

"You're back!"

Seeing Gregory, Grove showed a somewhat relieved look. He and Gregory were old friends, otherwise he would not have given Gregory the important task of developing the Asian chip market and suppressing Nippon Semiconductor Corporation.

"Grov, you shouldn't retreat at this time." Gregory said to Grove.

Shaking his head, Grove raised his arm. Gregory clearly saw that Grove's arm was shaking. Grove smiled bitterly with helplessness, "It's better to retire now than to be forced to retire by the board of directors and the media!"

Which emperor is willing to give up the power in his hands? Grove is certainly no exception, but his body no longer allows him to stay in the position of Intel's president.

A few years ago, he had surgery for prostate cancer and now has Parkinson's symptoms. With this kind of health, who dares to say that he is still capable of controlling an empire worth $200 billion? !

If Grove retires now, he can still retire with dignity. If he really dies during his term as president, he will be known as a power-hungry person.

"Don't worry. I will remain on the Intel board of directors after I step down as Intel's president. The new Intel president will also be well-prepared!"

Grove thought Gregory was worried about his situation after retirement, and signaled Gregory not to worry. He had been at Intel for so many years and had made so many preparations. Even if he stepped down as president, he would still have influence on Intel. Of course, it would definitely be much less than it is now.
