1991 Starting from the core

After watching Wan Yongliang leave, Chen Jing turned and looked at Su Yuanshan.

"What you said just now, I'm afraid you didn't just mean HK, right?"

"Uh...hehe, Sister Jing is very perceptive. In fact, I was also talking about the island."

"...I knew you had bad intentions." Chen Jing crossed her arms and just glared at Su Yuanshan, but didn't say anything as usual.

She already knew Su Yuanshan so well, so she naturally knew that Su Yuanshan had unparalleled confidence in the rise of the mainland. He doesn't pay attention to the beautiful women who are currently in the spotlight - and he doesn't know where his confidence comes from.

However, she also admitted that, at least in the semiconductor industry, the country does have some strength.

At the very least, the low-end industrial chain has taken some shape.

In contrast, the two foundries on the island that have high hopes are having an even tougher time - the mid- to high-end foundries are completely taken over by Deyuan, and Huajing is also eyeing the mid- to low-end ones.

Even without the advent of this dual-workpiece lithography machine, the lives of UMC and TSMC would have been deteriorating. Now that Deyuan and Huajing have placed orders, it means they have mastered the most efficient chip production line at present - how to compare?

"I've heard in Hong Kong that China has reached an agreement with Laos and the United States on tariffs on semiconductors, automobiles, electronic products, etc. This means that the footsteps of the WTO can already be heard." Chen Jing walked, while He said softly: "At that time, the challenges we will face will be even greater."

"It's a challenge, but it's also an opportunity." Su Yuanshan gave a snake-like answer: "For us, the opportunity is greater, and it is more conducive to us going global - at least, the expansion of the European market will be much faster."

"And to be honest, Sister Ha Jing, only by joining the WTO can domestic enterprises truly develop their skills. Otherwise, they will just fight in their nests... Then where is the business?"

Chen Jing hummed, stood still, and looked at Su Yuanshan.

Su Yuanshan also looked at her, inexplicably panicked: "Sister Jing, don't look at me like this... I'm a little panicked - is there bad news?"

Chen Jing laughed and then frowned slightly: "Well - before I came back yesterday, the person in charge of Temasek came to HK and I met him."

Su Yuanshan was shocked and immediately asked: "What did Temasek say?"

"Temasek hopes to purchase the equity of the telecommunications company we jointly established in Malaysia. I have the specific content and plan and will give it to you directly tomorrow - probably they also hope that Yuanxin can go to Nanyang to build it. Software center."

Su Yuanshan was stunned.

After a while, he frowned deeply and uttered a curse word.

"Hold!"

Chen Jing glanced at him - she naturally knew that Su Yuanshan's words were not just scolding "Temasek", but also a kind of emotional catharsis.

Chen Jing said softly: "Xiaoshan, don't underestimate Temasek."

Su Yuanshan took a deep breath and narrowed his eyes tightly.

"Well, I didn't underestimate Temasek. It's just... I didn't expect that they would be so vicious."

Chen Jing nodded silently.

——Obviously, with Yuanxin’s series of actions, Temasek has clearly seen through Yuanxin’s plan, or layout.

And with Farcore's vigorous construction of the Cyberport in Hong Kong, Temasek has a sense of crisis.

In Su Yuanshan's view, the entire Southeast Asia region cannot have an economic and talent center. If there were, that center could only be HK.

Obviously, Temasek is also aware that Farcore's layout in Hong Kong will lead to the flow of talents and capital in the future - the Cyberport is not just a software and Internet park, but a base that can accommodate the employment of tens of thousands of high-end computer talents. It is currently the hottest investment field in the Internet of Things.

It is conceivable that as long as the Cyberport is established, the Internet and software industries in Southeast Asia will have nothing to do with Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand.

"Then what did you do?" Su Yuanshan asked immediately.

"What can I do?" Chen Jing shrugged: "However, Temasek finally sent you an invitation, hoping that you can visit Nanyang."

"..." Su Yuanshan was speechless for a long time.

There is no doubt that this invitation from Temasek... does not represent Temasek, an investment management company, but a higher representative.

Seeing Su Yuanshan's silence, Chen Jing reminded softly: "Xiaoshan, I need to remind you that... you have a high say in ASEAN. Especially after this financial crisis..."

"Yes, I know, Yuan Xin can't be offended now." Su Yuanshan took a deep breath, but didn't say anything for a long time. In the end, he could only sigh and said bitterly: "I know, where in the world is this?" It’s such a smooth sailing thing.”

"..."

"Sister Jing, please withdraw first. Think carefully tonight. We will discuss it at the meeting tomorrow."

"Um."

Back in the dormitory, Su Yuanshan didn't even bother to wash up. He sat on the sofa and closed his eyes in meditation.

Temasek's move is undoubtedly a tentative move - Yuanxin has finally laid the foundation of the telecommunications industry in Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand, and it is obvious that it is impossible to retreat - if you want it to withdraw from Malaysia, don't even think about it. think!

In silence, he raised his head and looked at the world map on the wall. Above, the Southeast Asian region is highlighted in red circles.

Then he looked at the calendar again.

It is now October 18, 1998.

Silently counting the time in his heart, his brows gradually began to relax.

Then he grabbed the phone and dialed Chen Jing's cell phone.

"Sister Jing, where are the documents? Let me take a look."

"On my side - you want to see now?"

"Well... forget it, it doesn't matter whether you look or not." A smile appeared on Su Yuanshan's lips: "Temasek just wants to touch us as we run into the Internet age... Then I'll let him touch it."

On the phone, Chen Jing was slightly startled: "What do you mean?"

"It's not interesting, I just figured it out. ...Don't they want to develop the software and Internet industries... We can just help them do it."

Chen Jing fell silent on the other end of the phone. It was obvious that she didn't know which muscle in Su Yuanshan was broken.

"Did you drink too much?"

"No, I'm serious, Sister Jing."

Su Yuanshan looked at the void in front of him and said with a smile.

——In two years, the Internet bubble should burst. If Temasek really has the courage to invest under the pressure of the Internet bubble, then So Yuan Shan respects him as a man.
