Reborn in 2010, the AI ​​in my mind is too powerful.

Zeng Fancheng looked around, and when no one else wanted to speak, he took a deep breath: "Alright, regarding the proposal to remove the current co-CEO Liu Deyin, those who agree, please raise your hands."

Chen Yiran, of course, did not hesitate and immediately raised her hand.

Peter Bonfi and Thomas Jenguibus hesitated for a few seconds before raising their hands. A majority vote, or at least five votes, was needed to pass the proposal.

Chen Yiran began to scan the remaining people with his eyes. Zeng Fancheng and Chen Yiran exchanged a glance, then lowered their heads and raised their hands as well.

These three votes were ones Chen Yiran felt quite confident about. A person's fate is like a tree's shadow; going with the flow is actually easier.

The remaining four people clearly had more concerns. They were no longer considering TSMC's future; they were thinking about a series of issues, including Taiwan's manufacturing status.

Just when Chen Yiran thought that this time it might be a 4-4 defeat, Chen Guoci, who had questioned him before, actually raised his hand.

Li Zhongxi, the representative of the National Development Fund, immediately stood up and glared at Chen Guoci with narrowed eyes.

When Chen Guoci raised his hand, he was actually quite hesitant. But seeing Li Zhongxi's murderous look, he became even more determined and said coldly, "What? Is there a problem with my vote? I voted based on considerations for TSMC's future. TSMC shouldn't engage in pointless confrontations for something so vague."

Zeng Fancheng didn't want things to get too heated, so he quickly proceeded with the following procedure: "Okay, if this proposal is approved by more than half of the votes, it will pass. However, according to the procedure, we still need to hold a vote by raising hands and record it. Those who disagree with this proposal, please raise your hands. Those who do not raise their hands twice will be considered to have abstained."

Perhaps because the outcome was already decided, only Lee Jong-hee raised his hand to oppose the proposal.

"Alright, I now announce that the proposal to remove the current co-CEO Liu Deyin has been officially approved and is effective immediately."

After Zeng Fancheng finished speaking, he consciously looked at Chen Yiran and asked, "So how will the company's administrative structure be handled from now on? One of the previous dual CEOs will be removed; will a replacement be appointed? Or will everything be handed over to Wei Zhe's family?"

"Let's stick with a dual CEO system. We can keep the internal and external affairs separate as before. Let Wei Zhejia handle customer communication. The person in charge of internal affairs will be the technology leader. I'll find someone to come over."

---------------------------------------------------------------

Having secured the approval of TSMC's board of directors, Chen Yiran left Taiwan that very evening, without even meeting Wei Zhejia, only exchanging a phone call with him.

Wei Zhejia was very sensible and made it clear to him that he would fully cooperate with Aurora Group's technology upgrade in his work next year and start taking on Aurora Group's chip orders as soon as possible.

Chen Yiran did not return to Lanai Island. There were only three days left until Christmas, but he felt that he could still make the most of the time and finalize everything before Christmas.

That way, once he goes back for Christmas, he can take a long, comfortable break for over a month, including New Year's Day and the Spring Festival. Most of the company's employees are aware of his lazy nature, so all the managers will try their best not to bother him for over a month, and even the number of people asking questions on the message board will decrease significantly.

Fortunately, it was a private plane, which was quite convenient. After a three-hour flight, Chen Yiran returned to Seoul, where he was loyal.

Although they came at the last minute, Samsung, being a local power in South Korea, still provided the best possible hospitality.

At a private club familiar to Chen Yiran, Lee Jae-yong hosted a banquet. He asked with a serious expression, "Director Chen, what brings you to Korea so suddenly? I heard you came from Taiwan. Is there some problem at TSMC?"

"It's a minor issue. The board of directors has made a resolution, and it will be announced in a few days. The disobedient people have been removed, and we should be able to officially begin production of Aurora next year."

But don't worry, let me make this clear: the development of AI has led to an almost insane, unlimited demand for chip memory. You can be assured that there will always be enough orders.

Samsung will be completely unaffected; they can continue producing at full capacity. I've seen the latest report, which indicates that high-bandwidth memory will require even larger-scale investment.

Without high-bandwidth memory, training large models for long-context inference is still too inefficient and too costly. This is a physical limitation, and there's nothing I can do about it.

If we can achieve a breakthrough in this area, our AI technology can truly be fully implemented. Right now, it's just serving as a life assistant, but in the next few years, it may become a tool for everyone.

People can use it to create documents, write code, create video effects, and make all sorts of applications.

I can confidently say that it will change the entire world. The working logic of programmers will be directly altered, and we will no longer need a large number of front-end and back-end developers. People's creativity will no longer be limited by their own clumsiness.

What I'm more looking forward to are mathematical problems. Many people are not lacking in mathematical creativity, but they do lack in calculation and execution skills. However, AI does not need their execution skills; AI only needs them to provide creativity to work.

In this era, Samsung, as a major manufacturer of chips and memory, will also reap higher profits and even a stronger position.

Lee Jae-yong wasn't pleased by Chen Yiran's words. He wasn't stupid; Chen Yiran's encouragement meant she needed to talk to him about something. For Chen Yiran to make such a promise, it must be something significant.

He gritted his teeth and cut to the chase: "Director Chen, you are a director of Samsung, and I am a director of Aurora Group. I believe our interests are highly aligned. Just tell me directly, what's the matter? I've been thinking about it, are you trying to poach people from Samsung?"

What position do you need? How many? Just tell me, and I'll definitely support you. Look at Kim Sung-ho at TSMC; we gave him to you out of our own pockets.

Chen Yiran retorted, "How is it a sacrifice? He switched jobs to our company because he thought your salaries were too low. We weren't as successful as we are now back then, so he was very decisive. I'm here mainly to discuss with you about increasing our investment in high-bandwidth memory R&D."

Also, I've decided to open Aurora's SEELE R&D platform to Samsung's electronics division. The current computing power is still insufficient; Aurora's own internal schedule is too tight, so we can only let your high-bandwidth memory project team use it for now.

Lee Jae-yong's eyes lit up: "Can that R&D platform, which Aurora employees call the solution to all problems, really be opened up to Samsung? This platform is quite famous now. Everyone says that only with this platform can the efficiency of the R&D team increase exponentially."

Thank you so much! I was really surprised to see you come all the way from Taiwan. I genuinely thought you were here to poach our talent.

Chen Yiran said somewhat awkwardly, "Ahem, I am a shareholder and director of Samsung, so it is only natural for me to do some work for Samsung's research and development."

However, I do need Samsung's help with this; I need to bring someone from Samsung.

Lee Jae-yong: ".......................ᗜ - ᗜ"

"What kind of look is that! There's only one, I'll only take one."

"Okay, you tell me, who do you need?"

"Liang Mengsong".
