Chapter 669

After the interview, Mary made a few polite remarks with several people and left. Fang Zhe, President Ma and others stood in the trading hall for a while. Then she came out of the New York Stock Exchange and took a photo with Ali's executives and partners.

By the close of the New York Stock Exchange on the same day, Alibaba's share price was as high as US $93.89, up 38.07% compared with the issue price of US $68. The large increase was quite rare among the enterprises listed on the New York Stock Exchange over the years. Even the global Huizhong listing last year did not have such a high share price increase. It can be seen that US stock investors and investors are optimistic about Alibaba.

Of course, if there is no credit for Fang Zhe and his wife's platform, ghosts don't believe it. Don't you see that many investors and investors directly strengthened their belief in buying Alibaba's shares when they saw Ma and Fang zhe standing together. They still experienced the fire listed by Huizhong last year, and regretted and regretted that they didn't start buying Huizhong's shares at that time.

A year later, Huizhong's stock has increased by more than 50% compared with the issue price when it was listed last year, and its market value is second only to apple, up to more than 540 billion US dollars.

In contrast, Google, which ranks third, has a market value of only more than $390 billion

Listed Alibaba, with its share price soaring by nearly 40%, has a total market value of only about $230 billion. Many investors are looking forward to seeing Huizhong's market value completely surpass apple and ascend the throne of the world's largest company by market value.

That night, Fang Zhe and Feng Xue returned to China by private plane, while Ma general stayed in the United States. Next, in his itinerary, he had to be interviewed by several media and "invited" to give a speech at the famous Harvard University.

A few days after Fang zhe returned to China, the domestic chip industry ushered in another big news after the international cooperation between Qualcomm and SMIC:

"The national integrated circuit industry investment fund, commonly known as the chip big fund in the industry, initiated and established by Guokai finance, China tobacco, Yizhuang Guotou, China Mobile, Ziguang communication and other enterprises, was officially established!"

As soon as the news came out, the whole domestic chip industry was excited. If Fang zhe led Qualcomm to cooperate with SMIC and invested in the establishment of SMIC fund to take shares in SMIC is only an appetizer for the rise of China's chip industry, the establishment of chip large fund is a heavyweight main dish.

The large fund will mainly invest in the chip manufacturing industry, but by the way, it will also take into account chip design, packaging and testing, equipment and materials. Therefore, compared with the chip manufacturing enterprise SMIC international established by Fang Zhe, the establishment of the large fund will benefit and taste the sweetness of the whole chip industry.

In addition, many people in the chip industry also share the same view with Luo Zhiqiang, director of Datang Telecom in CIC. In their view, Fang Zhe is only a rich capitalist after all. No matter how powerful he is, can he be supported by national policies and industrial funds?

Yes, Fang Zhe's personal strength is not as big as big funds, but the chip industry is obviously not just policy, capital and industrial support. In that case, with China's world's second-largest comprehensive national strength and various support for the chip industry in the past few decades, the chip industry should have reached the world leading level as infrastructure and other industries!

Although Fang Zhe is not as powerful as a big fund, as a rich capitalist and reborn person, he also has various advantages that big funds do not have and cannot do.

Fang zhe can give full play to all kinds of ingenuity to improve and promote the development of the domestic chip industry, such as the introduction of key talents in the chip industry!

"President Fang, there is a message from Wu Yanbin. After several months of contact and negotiation with our Xinsheng talent introduction team, Mr. Liang Mengsong has agreed to return home and join SMIC, provided that we help him solve the problems such as the contract and competitive agreement between Samsung and TSMC, and SMIC. He hopes we have arranged it!"

Li Wen reported to Fang zhe the latest progress of the introduction of chip industry talents by Xinsheng fund.

Fang zhe nodded. Liang Mengsong is a general in the chip industry. Fang zhe wants to fulfill his promise to make SMIC realize the mass production of 14nm chips within three years. One of the most key talents is Liang Mengsong. Therefore, no matter how much it costs, Liang Mengsong should join SMIC.

Liang Mengsong is still working in Samsung. Because he joined Samsung and helped it realize the research and development of 14nm chip earlier than TSMC's 16nm chip, TSMC angered its old owner TSMC. TSMC sued Liang Mengsong and Samsung on the pretext of non competition agreement and Liang Mengsong's disclosure of trade secrets, and asked Liang Mengsong not to work and serve Samsung before December 31 next year!

Samsung announced the mass production time of 14nm chips in February next year. In contrast, the mass production time of TSMC 16nm chips is several months later. Liang Mengsong is now caught in the vortex of competition between the two companies.

With Fang Zhe's current energy, it is not difficult to solve Liang Mengsong's trouble between Samsung and TSMC.

According to what Xinsheng team learned from Liang Mengsong, the competition agreement signed by Liang Mengsong and Samsung includes two parts, one is the liquidated damages of three times the annual salary, and the other is the compensation for business losses and disclosure of trade secrets.

The former is nothing more than money. Liang Mengsong's annual salary at Samsung is about 20 million yuan, three times the liquidated damages, but only 60 or 70 million yuan. This money is really nothing for Fang Zhe and SMIC's mass production of 14nm chips.

In the latter, compensation for business losses and disclosure of trade secrets, which are ambiguous things, basically start a lawsuit, which is a grinding of the tongue in years. This is the excuse used by TSMC in its lawsuit against Samsung.

In addition, judging from the current competition pattern of the global chip industry, Samsung's hostility to TSMC is much greater than SMIC, because TSMC is one of Samsung's direct competitors, and SMIC, at least now, is not paid attention to by Samsung.

Therefore, in previous lives, SMIC poached Liang Mengsong from Samsung at the end of 2017, and Samsung did not make much opposition, litigation and other actions.

Of course, if Samsung doesn't appreciate it this time, Fang zhe doesn't mind fully adding fuel to the fire. Samsung's battery explosion door and Prince Lee Jae Jung's political turmoil in South Korea in the next two or three years.

It is not difficult to help Liang Mengsong solve the problems of Samsung and TSMC. On the other hand, it is not difficult to persuade the board of directors of SMIC to appoint Liang Mengsong as the CEO of SMIC international.

With the gambling agreement signed between Fang Zhe and Datang, the largest shareholder of SMIC, Fang Zhe's involvement in SMIC's personnel appointment has also become easier. As for Qiu Yunci, the current CEO of SMIC, with the persuasion of his old boss Zhang Rujin and the resolution of the board of directors of SMIC, he can only abdicate and give way.
