Chapter 1176 I Am Not Targeting You, But...

This decision was a surprise for Yang Shining, but it was a surprise for Li Yinxin.

Generous, absolutely generous!

With the strength of the Samsung Group, his father might not be so courageous.

Yang Shining added in disbelief, "Boss, Mr. Tao means..."

Before he finished speaking, Wu Tao interrupted: "I saw Lao Tao's opinion. It doesn't matter. I'll talk to him later. You must take this project seriously and it must be carried out in accordance with world-class standards. In short, I If you’re not afraid of spending money, don’t save it for me!”

At this point, his tone suddenly turned serious, "But if the production line we build in the future cannot compete with others, then I won't let it go!"

Such instructions make people feel pressured and more motivated.

Yang Shining was full of energy as he took Wu Tao's approved opinions. Although there was no guarantee or military order on the spot, his eyes were full of determination.

After sending Yang Shining away, Li Yinxin became even more excited.

In fact, before she came here, she had written articles. The current world structure of the semiconductor industry is still a multi-polar situation dominated by the United States and supplemented by Europe and Asia.

If this situation continues to develop, it is almost doomed that the United States will dominate the upstream of the industry, while other countries will accompany it and dominate the downstream.

Such results made Li Yinxin feel that there was much to do.

After all, it is a very strategic matter, much better than doing a few projects and managing some insignificant factories.

But after a while, Wu Tao couldn't hold it in any longer, so he had to tell the truth frankly.

Regarding Wu Tao's sudden formal response, Li Yinxin was nervous and surprised at the same time. Could it be possible that he could wait until the sunrise so quickly?

Li Yinxin thought like this, and even felt a little complacent about her own charm.

Until Wu Tao's meaningful voice came out, her little joy suddenly felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured down from head to toe.

"Li Yinxin, I'm not targeting you. In the semiconductor field, I actually don't want to cooperate with any Korean company!"

"Why?" Li Yinxin couldn't sit still and stood up immediately.

Wu Tao poured a cup of tea slowly, "In the past decades of development of the semiconductor industry, you Korean Semiconductor has always played a less glorious role. When Japan Semiconductor was at its peak, it was Korean Semiconductor who acted as the internal response for the Americans. By squeezing out the Japanese semiconductor industry, we can propel ourselves to the top."

"... Now you come to talk to me about cooperation and want to jointly compete with the US semiconductor industry. Do you think I should trust you?"

"What?" Li Yinxin was so anxious that she almost cried, "How is this possible?"

Wu Tao was unmoved and glanced at the other party lightly, "If you don't understand this period of history, it only means that your research work is not done well."

"...In addition, China's semiconductor industry is still in its infancy and is not suitable for aggressive activities. So your current idea is actually to find the wrong person."

Afterwards, these words were completely coaxing.

But Li Yinxin couldn't care less. What was most difficult for her to accept was that Wu Tao didn't trust her.

This feeling of distrust could not be relieved until Li Yinxin returned to Samsung's Jinling office.

In the afternoon, Tao Changxuan was called to the president's office.

Facing his boss, Tao Changxuan was hunched over and really couldn't hold on to much confidence.

As the first person to follow Wu Tao, other generals stood up one by one and made achievements that were enough to boost their morale. Only Tao Changxuan himself is in an increasingly difficult situation.

Especially the budget approval that Yang Shining unexpectedly received made Tao Changxuan feel even more stressed.

Wu Tao sat behind his desk, crossed his legs, and looked at his capable subordinate intently, "Old Tao~"

Tao Changxuan suddenly raised his head and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "You also know that in order to cope with the development of the future situation, all the industries under my name will be operated as a group and consortium."

"...As a veteran, haven't you ever thought about where your position will be in the future?"

As soon as he asked this question, the sweat on Tao Changxuan's forehead started to trickle down even more, "Boss, I, I, I..."

Wu Tao raised his eyebrows, sat upright, put his hands on the table, and looked directly at Tao Changxuan, "You think you are already in your comfort zone, but you are not."

"...In the near future, when my industry enters the process of groupization and consortiumization, you veterans will inevitably go through a reshuffle."

"... After the reshuffle, there will inevitably be a psychological and status gap between you. Don't you have a sense of crisis about this?"

Wu Tao's words pushed him into the corner step by step.

Tao Changxuan had no choice but to retreat, not caring that he was sweating profusely on his forehead, "Boss, the scale of investment in the semiconductor industry is so large, I'm really worried, what if..."

"Yes, it is indeed not that easy to succeed." Wu Tao agreed, which immediately relieved Tao Changxuan's pressure. But then the conversation changed, almost making Tao Changxuan dodge, "But I'm not afraid, so what are you afraid of?"

Tao Changxuan was afraid to speak.

After being given the power, Wu Tao stood up, his tone suddenly changed to something meaningful, he walked around the desk, patted Tao Changxuan on the shoulder and said: "Old Tao, you have to learn from Academician Ni in this regard. He also started from scratch. I don’t have as much mental burden as you. Isn’t it successful now?”

"Besides, instead of shrinking back and being doomed to be eliminated, why not roll up your sleeves and work hard, and maybe you can have a different future, what do you think?"

Tao Changxuan's face turned pale, but fortunately the sweat stopped flowing.

Seeing Wu Tao pick up the tea cup again, Tao Changxuan calmed down, stood up and said: "Boss, I understand what you mean, I will think about it carefully."

Although the news that Tianxin Technology and UMC are jointly preparing to build a 90nm chip process production line was not released with much fanfare, it spread like wildfire in the industry because of the huge investment of 1.68 billion US dollars.

When the news reached TSMC, everyone had different reactions.

Especially Hu Zhengmin, since he came back from participating in the appraisal meeting, he has been paying attention to the news and movements there.

He always felt that there was something special in the power that attracted him.

The 1.68 billion generous investment reached his ears, which made him excited and surprised, but also made sense.

What a charming boss.

After coming back to his senses and looking at the documents on the table, Hu Zhengmin suddenly lost all interest in working when he thought of the series of shitty things he encountered after returning from the appraisal meeting.

Maybe it's really time to make a choice to change...

Many chapters have been blocked, and I am tired of tinkering with them.
