Chapter 946: Asking for Money (4k)

The process of the semiconductor team going to Beijing was relatively smooth.

This was the judgment from Dr. Jiang that Fang Zhuo heard in person, and he was also prepared to go there in a few days.

But the leader's roll call was very sudden.

According to Jiang Shangzhou, it was the leader who interrupted Qiu Ciyun when he was reporting, and asked, "Why didn't Fang Zhuo from your Bingxin come?", and then signaled the report to continue without waiting for an answer.

This little tidbit is very meaningful.

Qiu Ciyun immediately realized that the leader still wanted to see Mr. Fang.

But Jiang Shangzhou didn't want to guess, and asked directly on the spot: "Do you want to see Fang Zhuo? If you do, I'll call him right away."

The leader was stunned for a moment, laughed, and pointed his finger at the current chairman of SMIC twice, and said simply: "See you."

He didn't think Jiang Shangzhou was reckless, he was very direct, as always.

When Jiang Shangzhou had dinner together, he wrote down his work ideas on the napkin and handed it to him, without paying much attention to it at all.

So, Fang Zhuo, who was slightly surprised by Dr. Jiang's call, got on the plane to Beijing.

Although the trip was hasty, he was not in a hurry in his heart.

In the evening, Fang Zhuo arrived in Beijing.

Because the time was determined in advance, he saw Jiang Shangzhou and Qiu Ciyun only talked for a short while before being invited by the leader's secretary.

The drive was not long, and it was not the first time.

In the past few days, Fang Zhuo combined Dr. Jiang's retelling and considered the current situation of domestic semiconductors and global industries. He believed that the possibility of successful promotion was still very large.

Although SMIC has been relieved of its power in the current domestic semiconductor industry, Bingxin has not relaxed in catching up with the process and still bites the gap of one and a half generations. Now is the time to support it.

The counter-cyclical investment development represented by DRAM has always been an effective way for the industry to catch up. In addition to helping at critical moments, the work done by the Huaxia Semiconductor Wafer Manufacturing Service Alliance is also providing reference for the optimization of the industry structure.

What products are easy to make, etching, thin film deposition, electroplating, furnace tube equipment, rapid thermal processors, etc.

What products are difficult to make, photolithography machines, ion implanters, optical detection equipment, etc.

Which companies can focus on vertical segmentation, and which companies can try platform layout.

All these are clearly shown in the extensive and comprehensive work data of the service alliance.

This time, the voice of the domestic industry is almost the same. Although they cry, they really have to seize the opportunity.

Arrived at the office unimpeded, and someone was reporting work inside.

Fang Zhuo was served tea and asked to wait.

Perhaps there were some omissions in the work content reported by this person, and the leader gave a harsh criticism.

About ten minutes later, the tea became a little cold, and only Fang Zhuo and the leader were left in the office. The atmosphere seemed to still retain the solemnity brought by the leader's anger just now.

The leader put down the documents, stood up and came to shake hands, but the first sentence he said was: "Fang Zhuo, why don't you dare to come to see me this time?"

This greeting is not very conventional, it seems strange, it can be light or heavy.

Fang Zhuo shook hands with the leader, his thoughts turned, and he sighed: "I'm afraid of being rejected."

The leader shook his hand heavily and smiled: "This is not like your style."

Fang Zhuo didn't respond to this sentence.

The leader returned to his seat, lit a cigarette for himself, and then gestured to throw the cigarette over.

Fang Zhuo shook his head and said, "Thank you, leader. It took a lot of effort to quit smoking. I won't smoke anymore."

"You can even quit smoking. No wonder you are determined to invest in semiconductors." The leader laughed, "I handed you a cigarette, but you didn't take it. You are a young comrade who still has principles."

"Quitting smoking is a test that can only be completely quit after repeated tests. This process is not easy, so I cherish this habit very much." Fang Zhuo said smoothly, "Otherwise, good habits will be broken and I don't know when I can develop them again."

This time, the leader smoked half a cigarette before saying, "Jiang Shangzhou speaks very directly. Fang Zhuo, sometimes you don't have so many concerns. You can also say some things directly. If it is really a decision based on market judgment, we will strongly support it."

Fang Zhuo learned from Dr. Jiang, was silent for a few seconds, and asked, "What if my judgment is Different from the present?"

"Then we can also support it with understanding." The leader said, "I think about it. You are such a person who can make money. Shouldn't your judgment be different from most people?"

He took a puff of cigarette and said, "If it is difficult to understand, then I think it can be trusted and observed, but at least Bingxin is doing very well now. I want to thank you for this."

"Last night, there was a small meeting at the Development and Reform Commission, mainly to discuss the establishment of a factory in Germany. They have policies and are willing to pay. There is no problem with this matter. You should stop thinking about it all day long."

"Now, I want to hear your opinions on industrial investment, not the kind that fools people."

After listening to this, Fang Zhuo felt that he might be labeled as "fooling" for no reason, but he was still happy about the statement he got before the visit to Europe.

But he did not talk about it, just said: "As a half-semiconductor industry person, I can't say much. Whether it is Dr. Jiang or Dr. Qiu, their understanding is more profound and professional. This time, our opinions are consistent."

"The past few years under the financial crisis will be an opportunity for industrial adjustment, but whether this opportunity is good or bad depends on whether there is an overall plan and layout."

"The global semiconductor industry is experiencing a crisis, and major manufacturers may be facing unprecedented pressure. Germany's Qimonda has gone bankrupt, and Japan's Elpida is also in bad shape."

"But it is foreseeable that our domestic semiconductor consumer market will still see strong growth, which is a rare opportunity for mid- to low-level products and technologies."

"If you are willing to invest money and give a helping hand, you will go up once a link is reached. If you don't help at this time, it will become more difficult to replace people when they hug each other outside to keep warm."

“Looking forward, the semiconductor industry has experienced five industry recessions in the past 25 years. The most important change caused by each recession is to force the industry to adjust and upgrade. This is historical experience and an opportunity to change from capital-driven to market-driven. "

"It is difficult for a single company or a single link to be very competitive. At this time, we need to engage in the survival of the fittest and the integration of the industry as a whole, so that we can hope to quickly catch up with several positions."

Fang Zhuo glanced at the leader and said, "So, supporting policies must be made for the industry, and money must be spent."

The leader put out his cigarette: "There are too many places to spend money. Do you think you are the only ones asking for money? The policy can provide this money..."

He pondered: "You guys have been talking about the industry and the data for the past few days, but you don't say how much it will cost. Who doesn't know that time is waiting for you? Do I just say this to others? Are they all waiting for you to say it? Money? You’re here, so say it boldly.”

According to Dr. Jiang's plan, the discussion of money will have to be moved later. Now is the time necessary to fully demonstrate the industry situation and policies.

Fang Zhuo said tactfully: "The more, the merrier."

"Mr. Fang wants money, the more the merrier, right?" The leader pretended to stand up, "If you don't say anything today, there will be a discount tomorrow."

Fang Zhuo said in a deep voice: "Five hundred billion."

The leader was just about to light his second cigarette. When he heard this number, he couldn't help but look up at Fang Zhuo: "You tied me up and went to several offices to ask for money. See if you can get 500 billion."

He lit the cigarette and continued to say without bothering to smoke: "You really dare to shout!"

Fang Zhuo had a serious face.

The leader said angrily: "Tell me the figures you discussed."

Fang Zhuo stretched out his right hand seriously, clasped his fingers, and said: "Leader, let me give you a calculation for 500 billion. First of all, this is the key semiconductor material used in wafer manufacturing and packaging, such as chemical mechanical polishing fluid and Photoresist remover…”

"Fang Zhuo, Fang Zhuo." The leader said his name twice, "Stop it. It's impossible. It's impossible to squeeze out this money no matter what. Don't forget it."

Fang Zhuo stopped and asked seriously: "How much can you squeeze out?"

The leader looked at the seriousness on this young face and suddenly hesitated: "It's impossible to squeeze out even 100 billion."

Fang Zhuo asked without stopping: "900?"

The leader shook his head solemnly.

Fang Zhuo asked again: "800?"

The leader frowned and shook his head.

Fang Zhuo asked again: "700?"

The leader sighed and shook his head.

Fang Zhuo asked again: "700?"

The leader stopped shaking his head: "Why is it still 700?"

"The more we reduce, the less we can reduce it. This is the lowest number we are talking about." Fang Zhuo said.

"Supporting policies plus tens of billions of funds can mobilize at least four or five times the social capital. Is this still a small amount? I think every bit of this can be squeezed out is good." The leader glanced at Fang Zhuo, "Do you think it's too small? If it’s less than 700, there won’t be 700 at all.”

According to the rhetoric of the Beijing team, direct equity investment coupled with linkage with local funds and social funds can leverage several times the scale.

If we can allocate 70 billion, the effect will be to attract 300 to 400 billion yuan.

Fang Zhuo said nothing and silently insisted on the 70 billion statement.

After the leader finished smoking a cigarette, he saw that he was sitting quietly, so he had no choice but to say: "It's impossible to have 700. Originally, for the 16 major science and technology projects, a fiscal subsidy of 20 billion yuan was provided to enterprises in one year. In two years, it is 40 billion yuan." , which can already drive trillions of investment in technological transformation.”

"Can the interest rate discount be the same?" Fang Zhuo asked back.

That's definitely different.

The leader glared, shook his head and said, "It's hard to win even 40 to 50 billion."

Fang Zhuo opened his mouth and closed it again.

"You can say whatever you want. Didn't I ask you to learn from Jiang Shangzhou?" The leader saw this scene.

Fang Zhuo sighed: "It's hard to win even 40 to 50 billion, then me, then me...then don't call me over."

lead:"……"

Forget it, don't imitate Jiang Shangzhou. Sometimes Jiang Shangzhou speaks too directly.

"Leader, you asked me to come over, ask me for my opinion, ask me for the figures, and then you said this won't work, that won't work, this is good, but it really doesn't work, let's coordinate the policies well, I sold Yike Company, I sold the real estate company, This is money." Fang Zhuo said.

Leaders feel the obvious squeeze.

Fang Zhuo continued: "Yike Company is easy to sell. The real estate company is about to go public. It can't be sold this year. It will be sold for cents when it expires next year. Otherwise, the service alliance has set up such a stall, and the industry is crying for support. There are Some gave me letters of thanks, some called me and cried, and some wanted to give me the factory directly. I couldn’t find the money and had to sell my blood myself. This matter is..."

"Okay, let's sell our blood, fight for it, fight for it, I didn't say I won't fight for it." The leader put out his cigarette again, "I can only fight for four to five hundred at most. Let's take one shot first and see what the effect is."

Fang Zhuo muttered one last sentence before he stopped speaking: "The real estate company really wants to sell it."

The leader poured himself a cup of tea and glanced at Fang Zhuo: "If we really want to sell it, we will sell it in two years. The real estate company can make more money."

Fang Zhuo remained silent.

"When will your ice core catch up with Tai Ji?" The leader asked a generally related question.

"There is a lot of pursuit." Fang Zhuo said, "The pursuit may be faster in the next two years, but the ice core is like Cheng Yaojin's three-point ax. Subsequent development requires internal strength, and internal strength is rooted in our overall environment. "There is a huge talent gap in the industry."

"Taiji has approximately 30,000 employees worldwide, including nearly 20,000 supervisors, professionals, and assistants. Among supervisors and professionals, more than 80% of employees have a master's degree or above."

"It has too many talents and technical reserves, not just the manufacturing process."

The leader nodded slightly: "But you are relatively young and can survive."

"It's still very painful. I hope I can retire at the age of forty and don't have to suffer for so long." Fang Zhuo said solemnly.

The leaders were stunned when they heard this retirement age. This is really young.

He smiled and said: "You are showing off, forty years old, forty years old, I was still in the company when I was forty years old."

He shook his head: "You should work hard for a few more years, why can't you become the world's richest man Dangdang? I will have a meeting tomorrow morning, and you can come again in the afternoon."

Fang Zhuo stood up and agreed simply: "Okay."

The leader sent Fang Zhuo out of the office.

However, after Fang Zhuo walked a short distance, the secretary of another deputy leader appeared and invited him to meet him.

When Fang Zhuo walked into another office, there was a strong smell of cigarette smoke. It was obvious that he had been waiting for a while.

Compared with the more personal communication just now, this time it is more official.

Fang Zhuo is very familiar with industry data and can answer fluently when asked questions that leaders are concerned about. He also talks about his personal thoughts and key opportunities for industrial investment.

However, at the last moment, the leader was curious and asked something that he didn't expect: "I heard a while ago that there is a secretary-general in Luzhou, and he personally goes to the Bingxin Canteen to cook for the employees?"

Fang Zhuo was stunned: "This..."

"It turns out to be a rumor." The leader understood Mr. Fang's expression.

"It's part of the rumor. This should mean that Secretary-General Luo Minghua personally cooked the ice core in order to land it in Luzhou." Fang Zhuo clarified the situation.

The leader nodded, that's what happened.

"The ice core is very good, and the service alliance's work is also very solid. Okay, let's see you tomorrow afternoon."

Fang Zhuo was sent out again, and after walking for a while, he was only stopped for a short while before being sent out for the third time.

It's not easy to squeeze out money, and you have to look at the real owner to get the money.
