After a night of rest,

The next morning, after enjoying the buffet at the hotel, Su Yehao took a car back to Pengcheng.

After arriving, he first had lunch with Yin Liuli, and in the afternoon, he took her to stroll around Qianxin City. Anyway, he was followed by a large group of people, so he wasn't afraid of being seen by anyone.

The wilderness beach of the past has now undergone a great transformation.

The land reclamation work is about to be completed, and the roads and embankments have also been built. Next to the flat six-lane asphalt road, workers are planting trees, and the lighting project is also underway. Streetlights have already been transported to the roadside.

Since Qianxin City is positioned as a "National High-Tech and Financial Demonstration Park," and is currently one of the most likely industrial parks to succeed, several keenly perceptive banks have taken the lead in deciding to build office buildings here to facilitate the expansion of their businesses.

The high-tech industry is known for burning money. A loan order from a晶圆代工厂 (jingyuan daigongchang, semiconductor foundry) alone is enough to support a branch, or even a sub-branch. Moreover, there are many real estate projects within the Qianxin City park, and business opportunities abound.

Because of Su Yehao's full support, this place has quickly become Pengcheng's new blue ocean. Last year alone, the total investment reached over eight billion RMB, covering projects such as docks, warehousing, office buildings, and home appliance manufacturing.

With the influx of funds, Qianxin City has begun to become vibrant...

At this moment.

Su Yehao stood next to the future central business district, facing the bay designed by artificial land reclamation.

He waved his hand and told Yin Liuli:

"I've invested in a total of a dozen projects in this area. See that piece of land behind me? In the future, it will be a comprehensive office building with a construction area of over 300,000 square meters. Next to it is a skyscraper I've reserved. If I have enough money, I plan to build it according to the world's tallest building, using antennas and the like to make up the numbers, and try to pile up a building that is seven or eight hundred meters high."

Yin Liuli asked him with a smile, "Does that count as two? What else?"

"There are many. For example, a little further west, I will invest in building two thousand talent apartments, some for my own use and some for rent to offset expenses. Huangzuan (Yellow Diamond) Computer Factory, Heizuan (Black Diamond) Mobile Phone Factory, the headquarters building of the Internet company, Tao Bao's logistics park, and so on. The most important thing is the 晶圆代工厂 (jingyuan daigongchang, semiconductor foundry), and the lithography research institute I invested in..."

After counting on his fingers for a while, even Su Yehao himself felt incredible that he had opened so many companies one after another.

The central business district has just started construction, so there is nothing to see for the time being.

On the way to visit the 晶圆代工厂 (jingyuan daigongchang, semiconductor foundry), Su Yehao said to Yin Liuli again:

"In 1998, the economy was sluggish, and the demand for 晶圆代工 (jingyuan daigong, semiconductor manufacturing) was insufficient, resulting in oversupply in the global foundry market. This industry began to recover in 1999, and it is expected that there will be a serious shortage of capacity this year. My factory has picked a good time. The entire market size has grown from six billion US dollars in 1999 to ten billion US dollars last year. If nothing unexpected happens, I will soon be able to get a share of it."

Yin Liuli said in surprise, "Oh, I remember you were worried about losing money before. Is everything okay now?"

"...It's still a loss, it's just a matter of losing more or losing less. I don't expect the 晶圆代工 (jingyuan daigong, semiconductor manufacturing) business to be profitable in the next few years. The main purpose is to accumulate some experience and prepare for the next new track."

Su Yehao rubbed his temples. He had been in the car for a long time in the morning, and he was still a little uncomfortable. He continued:

"The world's 晶圆代工 (jingyuan daigong, semiconductor manufacturing) now mainly produces computer chips and DRAM..."

Su Yehao smiled, and then said gloatingly, "I'm not the worst. Those Japanese companies that produce DRAM memory chips are the real victims. It's not certain whether they can survive the market winter. No wonder Elpida asked someone to bring me a message last year, trying to get me to invest a sum of money. They probably saw the signs early and wanted me to be a sucker to help take over."

This topic did touch Yin Liuli's blind spot.

However, at this time, she was only thinking about going back to check the relevant news, so as not to have no common topic when chatting with Su Yehao.

After a moment of pause, Yin Liuli asked curiously, "You have 晶圆代工厂 (jingyuan daigongchang, semiconductor foundries) in both Pengcheng and Hong Kong. Which one will start production first? Have you found any orders yet?"

"It should be Pengcheng that will be put into production first. We have partnered with Hitachi to reserve a twelve-inch 晶圆 (jingyuan, wafer) production line. At that time, we will first help Japanese companies produce 4MB and 8MB static random access memory. It is expected to be put into production by the end of the second quarter, using 0.18-micron production technology, which is a very mature technology and not very difficult."

Su Yehao is indeed a hands-off manager, but he often takes the time to learn about relevant news, and his subordinates also send him documents from time to time. He comes into contact with it often in his daily life, and over time he has gained some basic knowledge.

The corners of Yin Liuli's mouth turned up. It was because she didn't understand that she was complacent about her wit.

Successfully fooling Su Yehao, so he didn't realize that she was talking nonsense.

Putting on an act and nodding, Yin Liuli changed the subject and asked, "I remember you said before that you wanted to spend money to buy an existing company. What was the name of the company in my hometown?"

"...TSMC? I was just talking casually. TSMC went public in 1997 and achieved revenue of 1.3 billion US dollars and net profit of more than 500 million US dollars. Now its total market value is very high. It is the most profitable semiconductor foundry company in the world. Even if I join forces with mainland banks to play the empty-handed trick, it also depends on whether they are willing to sell to me. There is almost no hope, investing some money as a shareholder is more like it."

As soon as Su Yehao finished speaking, Yin Liuli said again, "But it is your competitor now, wouldn't buying its stock be helping the enemy?"

"Yes, I don't plan to invest myself. When the mainland opens QDII-type funds, maybe I can give it a try. Since there is economic exchange, we can't let them make all the money. There must be give and take for it to be called exchange."

It must be admitted that Yin Liuli's methods are very clever.

Su Yehao has been talking to her until now, and he hasn't realized that they are talking at cross purposes. In fact, they are having a good time chatting.

When the motorcade drove into the 晶圆代工厂 (jingyuan daigongchang, semiconductor foundry) without the company's name on it, Mr. Zhang Rujing was already waiting for him at the door.

This technical expert has successively helped to poach hundreds of technical talents from the island. He has the strength and the merit, so he has a relatively strong backbone.

As soon as he saw Su Yehao, he joked, "The sun is coming out from the west. You actually came to the company for inspection. I thought you were so busy that you had forgotten that you had invested in this company..."
