Two red panda cubs, both five months old.

While chatting with Jincheng Xianren about business, Su Yehao's attention was constantly drawn to them. The little guys had grown all their fur, and they looked quite adorable.

The wooden cage seemed a bit cramped for them. Perhaps because they had suddenly left their mother's side, their cries sounded a little pitiful.

Linda Yun was charmed by them. After browsing through the breeding manual specially translated into Traditional Chinese, she helped bring an apple, cut it in half, and put it into the cage. They quickly grabbed it and started munching on it, making crunching noises as they ate.

Many of Hong Kong's laws follow the British system. The fact that Jincheng Xianren could easily bring them to Hong Kong showed that the protection level of red pandas was probably not high at the moment.

Su Yehao vaguely remembered seeing related news, knowing that their numbers wouldn't be too large.

That's why his earlier mention of establishing a breeding center wasn't a joke. These little guys born in zoos have basically lost the skills to survive in the wild. Releasing them rashly would be tantamount to sending them to their deaths. Although being kept in captivity isn't as free, it's relatively freer, and their safety is guaranteed.

When it comes to raising pets, Su Yehao considers himself quite capable, mainly because he's willing to spend money to create a good living environment for them.

He raised white-tailed deer in his Silicon Valley yard, and later two fawns were born. He raised alpacas in Hong Kong, and three baby alpacas were born one after another.

Thinking of making the house more lively and fulfilling Nangong Tian's wish, he asked Linda Yun to ask a designer to think of a way to build a petting zoo in the yard for them to play in as soon as possible.

When the little girl and Jiang Yu returned home, they were so happy that they couldn't close their mouths. They each carried a cage outside, saying they wanted to let them run around...

During a break in the conversation.

President Jincheng Xianren, smoking a cigar, asked softly:

"May I be so bold as to ask, Mr. Su, is your goal to build an all-round enterprise similar to Samsung of South Korea? I want to understand your ideas first, so that I can tailor a complete set of plans to support you. As far as I know, the situation of Japan's semiconductor industry is not very good. Recently, South Korea has received the support of the United States. In the financial crisis of the past two years, they have lost actual control of their companies, and more than half of the shares are in the hands of American investors. However, Japanese entrepreneurs advocate private ownership of technology and will not easily become puppets working for others. This is probably the root cause of the suppression of Japanese semiconductors."

Su Yehao smiled and said:

"As we all know, Samsung is an American company, but they just put the factory in South Korea."

"The reason why I founded Huang鑽 (Yellow Diamond) Computer is because I think the price of computers in the mainland is too expensive, which is not conducive to the expansion of the number of netizens. The core purpose is actually to develop Internet companies."

"As for the recent acquisition of Qualcomm's mobile phone production business, it is actually helping my father's home appliance manufacturing company. Since Meidi Group is a mainland company, it is easy to get into trouble during the transaction. I think you should be clear about the specific reasons."

"So, I might as well tell you that the only thing I really value now is the wafer foundry. If I supply parts to the outside world at that time, I will probably find a suitable opportunity to sell these downstream production and sales companies to avoid losing sight of the other, like my Yanwenzi Group..."

If Su Yehao used Yanwenzi Group to directly invest in other Internet companies, it would definitely arouse the hostility and resistance of his peers.

For example, Yahoo.

If Yanwenzi Group gets too close to Google, American Yahoo will not fund the enemy and choose to place advertisements on Yanwenzi Group.

Qualcomm was worried that mobile phone and device manufacturers would not adopt its standards, so it also sold off its base station production business and mobile phone production business in a timely manner, focusing on standards and trying to make money through patents and its more proficient semiconductor chip business.

The same principle applies.

South Korea's Samsung has the support of American companies and is taking the route of the entire industry chain, which is more in line with the interests of the United States. It has long exchanged a "get out of jail free card" by ceding most of its profits.

However, if Su Yehao wants to enter the game and stir up trouble, he has to pay attention to certain negative effects to avoid difficulty in obtaining foundry orders in the future.

Considering the huge advantages that mastering technology and production links can bring, there must be trade-offs. Compared with personal computers and dumb phones, Su Yehao is more optimistic about the wafer foundry field, so he never considered being able to eat it all from the beginning.

It's not that he doesn't want to, but that he can't.

In fact, as long as he helps mainland companies seize more semiconductor market share in the future, the long-term benefits that can be brought are also not to be underestimated. This leads to the fact that whether from a personal perspective or a higher level, focusing on the semiconductor field in the future is most in line with Su Yehao's needs.

Huang鑽 (Yellow Diamond) Computer has not yet been sold to the public, and the R&D team of Black Diamond Mobile Phone has just begun to prepare, but he has already thought about giving up their dominance in the future.

Next to him.

President Jincheng Xianren breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and reminded with a smile:

"You are indeed a smart man. Those stubborn entrepreneurs in Japan only know how to firmly control technology and equity in their own hands. This is not suitable for the general trend of global division of labor and collaboration. Even if they know that they should cooperate and win-win, it is difficult to truly do it. I know a little bit about the situation of Elpida Memory. Several semiconductor companies were forced to a dead end before they jointly established it. If they had figured it out earlier and there was no internal competition, how could they have left the opportunity for Korean companies to rise?"

"Do you believe in global division of labor and collaboration? If it were really that free, your Japan wouldn't be in an economic recession, right? In the end, it depends on who has the stronger fist. Your development does not conform to the interests of European and American capital, and then you are suppressed. And my investment this time is estimated to offend many companies as well. It's not really smart, it's just that the profit prospects are quite large, so I'll try my best."

Su Yehao said half-truths, and then told him:

"I think the way to break the situation lies in mastering the next generation of lithography machine patent technology. This time, I only need Nikon or Canon to provide me with technical support. The funds and the risk of R&D failure are mainly borne by me. Once successful, it can become the key for your Japanese semiconductors to break through. Please try your best to lobby their senior management. After the matter is completed, I can give you a promise that I will lend you at least one billion US dollars from you at that time, or give you another few hundred million US dollars for securities investment."

The enemy of an enemy is likely to become a friend.

Although he doesn't feel much for the Japanese who live a good life, it is difficult for Su Yehao to obtain support from the United States, South Korea and other places. The key to breaking the situation at present lies in Japan.

Nikon and Canon's lithography machines are now in the first echelon. AsmL, a European lithography machine manufacturer, is too close to the United States. Baodao (Taiwan) is trying to block the mainland's wafer foundry industry, blocking it in all aspects from investment and talent.

Looking around, only Japanese companies are easier to talk to. Shanghai Huali in the mainland is a joint venture with Japan Electric Corporation (NEC).

Taking advantage of Jincheng Xianren's visit to Hong Kong today, Su Yehao wanted him and the Dai-Ichi Kangyo Bank behind him to provide some assistance.

At this moment, Jincheng Xianren only wants to win big orders and strive to accumulate achievements as soon as possible, so that he can enter the core management of the parent company when there is an opportunity.

Within the Dai-Ichi Kangyo Bank, the hierarchy is strict and the levels are clear.

The president of Dai-Ichi Kangyo Securities, its subsidiary, has a lower status in the headquarters than some important department heads. Even if the securities company makes achievements, it is considered the功劳(gonglao, merit) of the managing director, and the orders are often taken away by people from the parent company, which is frustrating.

Seeing that Su Yehao, the big financier, took the initiative to extend an olive branch, Jincheng Xianren immediately expressed his position, telling him that he would understand the situation and help him to run around at that time, and strive to promote these businesses...
