1991 Starting from the core

"Ten years ago, I talked with the previous leader about the issue of the domestic economic circle. Ten years later, the two economic circles of the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta have taken shape, and their status and competitiveness have become extremely solid. Then the remaining Bohai Economic Circle is just waiting for an opportunity to take off."

While drinking tea, Su Yuanshan slowly started talking about the domestic economic situation: "With the implementation of the East Asia Free Trade Agreement, the free trade zone can only be located along the Bohai Bay. This can greatly satisfy our needs for Nibang. The absorption of talent – ​​well, vice versa.”

Chen Jianguo laughed and said, "Why does your vice versa sound a bit like that?"

"That's the truth!" Su Yuanshan shrugged: "The ambitions of the superiors for the semiconductor industry are very clear. The Yangtze River Delta is the base for the design and manufacturing of processor chips, and the Bohai Rim is the base for the design and manufacturing of storage chips. They widely serve the East Asian economic circle. ...Anyway, the country is determined to pursue the road of autonomy and market dominance in the semiconductor industry, and is determined to go all the way to the dark side. Even if the king of heaven comes, I will not be able to stop it, and even ten cows will not be able to pull it back."

The two people across from each other laughed at the same time, especially Zhou Xiaohui. She knew better than Chen Jianguo that Yuanxin had started to lay out semiconductors more than ten years ago - she could even have witnessed with her own eyes how Yuanxin passed various tasks bit by bit. The darkness of Chen Cang and the moving of ants and the building of bees' nests generally pull up the semiconductor industry in China.

And every time, the opportunity was seized just right.

"But we still face a lot of problems." Su Yuanshan took another sip of tea and said: "Firstly, Silicon Valley will definitely not allow domestic dominance of the market. Secondly, Niguo and Bangguo will not be willing to transfer industries - for example, Niguo A few years ago, we wanted to transfer the midstream LCD panel manufacturing industry and technology to the island.”

"As a result, BOE, which had been forced to expand its production capacity by nearly 50 billion yuan, was forced to step down. It was not until this time that people in Niguo finally recognized the reality. In addition to the decline of the industry, this was their first capital investment. and were defeated by domestic rivals at the technical level.”

Zhou Xiaohui pursed her lips and smiled: "Thanks to the help of Sony and Fujitsu. I remember that both of them also invested nearly 100 billion yen each, right?"

"Yeah...otherwise why do right-wingers call Sony a Japanese traitor." Su Yuanshan laughed and said: "Sony has laid out LCD TV products in advance, and now it can do whatever it wants in the international high-end market. Looking at it, a person who can There is nothing to fight against. And the market value has exceeded 200 billion U.S. dollars. It is higher than the peak of the stock price before the Internet bubble... It is the most stable stock price among real companies and the fastest climbing."

"But now the trend of the domestic semiconductor industry has become established, and the demand in the domestic market is gradually increasing. In addition, the country has made too many concessions to the two countries, giving them the opportunity to participate in the interests of the country's continued development and rise. It is being seized, so the real danger is still in the West.”

"Silicon Valley is still not willing to give in. It's just that... the nature of capital determines that it is impossible for Wall Street to do what we do by directly investing tens of billions of dollars in one go to do something that will not see a return in a short period of time. Investment. They are now busy playing drums and spreading flowers, playing with subprime loans, and using lanterns and torches to find emerging Internet industries..."

"Where's the government over there?" Chen Jianguo asked.

Su Yuanshan laughed: "I'm busy hammering people."

"So, the opportunity is really fleeting. Brothers and sisters - the Hynix Trilogy must go well."

Chen Jianguo and Zhou Xiaohui looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

——The so-called Hynix Trilogy refers to the separation from SK Telecom, which is now SK Electronics. The second step is to realize SYD Holdings, and the last step is to realize Yuanxin Holdings.

"Okay, where are we going to eat tonight?" Su Yuanshan glanced at his watch: "My students should be arriving soon."

After finishing his visit to Bang Country, Su Yuanshan transferred directly to Ni Country.

Different from the exchange with SK, Su Yuanshan first invited Kutaragi Ken to the hotel where he was staying after completing the academic exchange.

"Susan."

"Kyuta-kun."

The two people shook hands vigorously and felt that it was not enough to express each other's feelings. They hugged each other again, patted the opposite shoulders, and then sat down.

Seeing that Kutaragi's healthy temples were slightly white, Su Yuanshan sighed with emotion: "Kutaragi, you have already grown white hair."

"I'm over fifty years old." Kutaragi Ken didn't mind at all, reached for the teapot, poured tea for Su Yuanshan and said with a smile: "It's natural to have gray hair. But you, I see you have also gained weight recently. You look like—you’re only thirty, right?”

When Su Yuanshan heard this, he immediately coughed twice: "I have gained less than ten kilograms, can you tell that?"

"certainly."

"..."

While joking with each other, Kutaragi talked about business first.

"Susan, I have watched every speech you gave - oh, to be precise, I have watched every part of your answers to questions."

"...I don't know why. As a physicist, more than half of the students asking questions are not about physics. In this regard, the students in Ni country are better than those in Korea. They ask more physics questions. Over in Korea Almost all the questions were about economics..."

"Haha, in the several negotiations between our country and them to conclude free trade bilateral treaties, their performance was extremely sensitive. It is natural that their students are more concerned about the formation of the free trade area. After all..." Kutaragi paused. , and did not finish speaking.

But Su Yuanshan understands - after all, the country is not good in terms of national strength or market potential, so it is very worried about gains and losses.

"Susan, can I interpret your public answer as saying that you are deliberately reducing the impact of the free trade zone on public opinion, rather than your true inner views?"

After asking, Kutaragi Ken looked straight at Su Yuanshan.

He had known Su Yuanshan since he was a teenager, and had seen with his own eyes that Su Yuanshan grew from a teenager to a thirty-year-old now, and even won the Nobel Prize in Physics.

Past experience told him that if he wanted to get Su Yuanshan's true thoughts, it was best to ask him straight to the point.

Sure enough, after Kutaragi Ken asked this question, Su Yuanshan pondered for several seconds.

"Um."

Su Yuanshan nodded slowly: "Whether it is trade, technology investment, or capital investment, there is inertia. East Asian economic integration is possible."

Kutaragi Ken's eyes narrowed: "How is this possible?"

Su Yuanshan looked at the other person for a few seconds and then smiled slightly: "Jiu Duojun, actually you know better than me. There is no need for me to say it, right?"

Kutaragi Ken was startled for a moment when he heard this, then he was silent for a few seconds and let out a long sigh.

Yes, the resistance to East Asia's economic integration has never been on the mainland.

After silence, Kutaragi Ken continued: "How long will it take for mainland China's GDP to surpass that of Japan? What will happen in twenty years?"

"The truth is that within three years - your economic scholars have conducted detailed statistics and analysis and believe that there are various under-reporting phenomena in our country's GPD data. I can admit to you that there are indeed."

Su Yuanshan thought for a while and then added: "This phenomenon is actually related to the local government's mentality of controlling the economy. After all, it is understandable and humane to report a beautiful data that will be helpful for the next year's tasks."

Kutaragi Ken nodded, expressing understanding.

"Twenty years later, it will be hard to say... As I said, it mainly depends on you."

"Kyuta-kun, you know, I am a person who has always believed that my motherland will become rich. And because of your investment and help to the country in the past, and your current willingness to build an economic circle for common development with us, then... I All I can say is that no matter how much you pay during the rise of the mainland, you will get much reward in the future. This is beyond doubt."

Kutaragi Ken pursed his lips and nodded silently.

Compared with a group of domestic scholars and entrepreneurs who still live in the illusion of being the world's second largest economy, Kutaragi Ken is one of the few Japanese companies that was able to form an alliance with Yuanxin ten years ago and fully enter the mainland market.

Now ten years later, the rewards are enviable - Sony's home appliances have become the most popular "foreign brand" in the country for six consecutive years, and Sony's digital camera products also surpass Nikon and Canon. As for Kutaragi's own housekeeping Business game industry, PS2 console is doing whatever it wants in the domestic market...

Speaking of which, does Sony really make money in China, or does it make a lot of money?

Then, no one knows better than Ken Kutaragi the momentum of mainland development and how much Sony has "paid".

——In fact, this is not a "payment", it is just a choice to "get close".

As for Sony, it is no problem for a company to choose to be close to the mainland. His reputation is now at its peak. In addition, Sony's alliance strategy with Yuanxin was personally recognized and even promoted by the late Sony founder and god of management, Mr. Akio Morita... Therefore, no matter how close Sony gets to mainland China, there will be no problems or resistance.

But when it comes to the whole country...

Kutaragi Ken glanced at the north - that was the direction of the base.

…

Su Yuanshan looked at Kutaragi Ken with a smile. After so many years of dealing with each other, he knew that the other person was very similar to himself in some ways. Besides making money and running a business, he would still consider the industry and his country. This is why This is why Kutaragi Ken put so much work and effort into promoting the establishment of the free trade zone.

But now that the free trade agreement has been implemented, new troubles have come.

"Jiuduo-kun, don't think too much about the future. Sometimes we just have to do our best in the present." Su Yuanshan raised his tea cup and smiled softly: "Inertia, everything has inertia."

"Well, yes. Just keep the inertia and take it step by step." Kutaragi Kenya breathed out softly and laughed: "By the way, I have something to trouble Su-san this time."

"You're welcome, just say it." Su Yuanshan picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"Well...we also want to build a car."

"Uh..." Su Yuanshan took a sip of tea and hiccupped.

Kutaragi Ken looked at him with a smile.

"You... don't have any skills or knowledge in building cars. And... your temperament doesn't match yours, right?"

"Why doesn't it match?" Kutaragi Ken asked, "I think it matches."

"..." Su Yuanshan was speechless for a long time, and finally became angry: "Okay, let's make it, I'll lose you to death."

"I'm not afraid." Kutaragi shrugged: "Historical experience tells me that the choices made by Yuanxin are generally correct. And you also seem to hope that more companies will join the field of new energy vehicles, right? ?”

"...Then how do you want to build it? Let me first say that the technology we can disclose has been completely disclosed...and indeed, we hope that more friends will join. But..." Su Yuanshan looked stunned: "That's not the case. A giant company like yours! Boss..."

When Kutaragi Ken heard this, he finally laughed heartily.

——Being able to make Su Yuanshan afraid is something to be proud and happy in itself.

"Sony actually wants to build a car. I'm really pissed off."

After sending Kutaragi Ken away, Su Yuanshan thought about it, felt a little unhappy, and then hung up the phone directly to Chen Jing.

On the phone, he complained directly: "Sony's brand effect in non-mobile phone fields is stronger than ours in Europe and the United States..."

"What about technology?"

"I don't know, but Ken Kutaragi has always been very boring. He must have been doing things for a long time... and Ni Country itself has the advantage of automotive talents... Well, wait a minute, check the electric vehicles of Toyota and Honda There should be some clues about the job-hopping situation of automotive team members.”

Su Yuanshan said with emotion: "What he said is very good. Power devices, engine anti-theft, intelligent systems, etc. should be purchased from Yuanxin... But I believe him, these technologies have a high premium, and he will definitely You have to do it yourself.”

…

Chen Jing listened quietly to Su Yuanshan's complaints, and finally smiled softly on the phone.

"Um...he just talked about this with you?"

"Of course there are more, but... in a sense, he can only represent a small number of companies that are willing to actively approach the mainland. After all... Ni country's economic status is still very high, and the country's uneven development and some media Deliberately exaggerating, many people still have a considerable sense of superiority towards the mainland." Su Yuanshan paused: "And in order to maintain this illusory sense of superiority, these people often ignore the facts..."

"...How did I hear what you meant?"

"Hehe..." Su Yuanshan chuckled.

But his eyes were looking to the west.

The situation on the island is getting worse and worse.

But the worse it gets, the more ridiculous it becomes—TV shows on the island are becoming more and more exaggerated and outrageous. And all the scenes involving the country are full of dilapidated alleys, declining villages, and tired people.

"Sister Jing, you said that the island university invited me, should I go or not?"
