My Age of Investment

In early November in the San Francisco Bay Area, the daytime temperature is in the teens, which is just right, neither too cold nor too hot, making it perfect for outdoor exercise.

In a brand-new tennis court located halfway up the mountain, Xia Jingxing, wearing a sports suit, was sweating in the sun. His agile posture and powerful hitting movements gave Kristina some tricks to fight with him. Unable to hold on, my hands and feet felt as heavy as lead. I ran weakly, and my swing became slower and slower.

Xia Zerui, who is almost two and a half years old, pressed his face firmly against the fence, watching the game on the field through the fine holes in the net, and letting out childish laughter from time to time.

The two nannies squatting beside Xia Zerui had no intention of watching the ball. They focused all their attention on the little guy in front of them, for fear that he might bump him.

The Summer Palace is very large, and the garden is full of mountains and water. They dare not let this child who is already walking like flying out of their sight for a moment.

At this time, because Christina was slow to catch the ball, the ball once again hit the ground in front of her eyes and bounced away.

"Huhu~, I won't come, I won't come. Are you trying to beat me to death on purpose?"

Cristina panted and took off the white tennis cap on her head. Big beads of sweat kept dripping down her forehead and chin. Her sweat-soaked clothes clung to her body, showing off her curvy figure to the fullest. .

After this game, she was exhausted, and she would never dare to say that Xia Jingxing was not physically strong anymore.

Xia Jingxing handed the tennis racket to the servant, took the mineral water and took a big gulp, then said with a smile: "I still have some strength left, otherwise you will lose even more ugly.

Isn't the little referee watching from the sidelines? He has to save some face for you. "

Christina pursed her lips, "Forget it, I won't expose you."

Seeing that the game on the court was over, the nanny finally pushed open the tennis court door and let the off-court referee, who had been waiting impatiently, into the court.

As soon as he entered the tennis court, the naughty child ran wildly with joy.

When Christina saw the child running towards her, she knelt down with a loving face and opened her hands.

But the little guy didn't give her the honor of being a mother at all, and a gust of wind quickly blew past her ears.

She quickly turned around and found her son running around chasing the ball.

"Xia Zerui, have you even begun to dislike your mother?"

Kristina speaks Chinese and has started bilingual teaching for her children a long time ago.

Hearing the call, Xia Zerui looked up at his mother, whose face was full of grievances, then looked down at the ball in his hand, suddenly threw the ball and ran towards his mother.

"How good! You still feel sorry for your mother."

Kristina smiled, picked up her son, and kissed him on the cheek.

Xia Jingxing looked at this tender scene with a smile, and after a while he said, "Is it time to consider sending him to school?"

"Should you consider it?"

Kristina laughed dumbly and said: "I hired a tutor a few months ago."

"Why didn't you tell me about this?"

"It's not a big deal. It's fine if I make the decision alone."

Hearing this, Xia Jingxing knew that he was in the wrong, so he simply stopped asking any more questions.

Christina turned her head and glanced at Xia Jingxing, and explained with a smile: "She is just a tutor who simply plays with him and teaches him how to recognize pictures. When he reaches the age of kindergarten, he will still be sent to school."

Xia Jingxing smiled and said, "As he grows up, he should have more contact with his peers and society."

"Yeah, I think so too."

After that, Kristina looked at her son in her arms and asked, "Do you want to play with other children? They can play tennis with you."

Xia Zerui nodded heavily.

"Okay, then we have happily reached an agreement. You will go to school in a while."

Christina played with the child for a while, then put him on the floor and let the nanny lead him to play.

She and Xia Jingxing left the tennis court and walked along a bluestone path to the top of the mountain.

There is a stargazing cabin equipped with an astronomical telescope on the top of the mountain.

But it was daytime now, and neither of them was interested in touching the expensive equipment, nor did they enter the house. They just sat on the wooden chairs outside the house, chatting in the mountain breeze.

"I think you seem to have something on your mind? Is it because of the lawsuit?"

Xia Jingxing turned his head and glanced at Kristina, and said, "It's not about the lawsuit, it's about what happens after the lawsuit is over."

Kristina frowned and said, "In the worst case, I'll just pay a sum of money. There's nothing to worry about."

"Losing money is a trivial matter. What I'm worried about is technological breakthroughs."

Xia Jingxing raised his head and looked at the sky, and said with some emotion: "As soon as the lawsuit is over, Gulf Power and us will be mortal enemies, plus UMC and Samsung are preparing to offend.

Although the semiconductor industry is large, it is almost always our enemy. "

Although Kristina didn't usually ask about Xia Jingxing's other businesses, she knew something about it.

She comforted: "Since you have chosen such a path, you can only grit your teeth and go on. Giving up halfway is not your style.

If Samsung no longer sells you chips, then you will design them yourself.

If Gulf Power is not willing to help you manufacture chips in the future, then you will make them yourself.

Every great company has grown up under the suppression of the old forces. "

"I know everything you said. It's just that it's more difficult for Fuxing Industry to rise than American companies and companies from other countries."

Christina smiled and said, "Is it just a difficulty? If it was just a difficulty, I believe you would not be as stressed as you are now.

If Fuxing Industrial does not have the supply of high-end chips, other businesses will be fine. There are many alternatives, or we can strive for self-sufficiency, but Fuxing Mobile cannot.

On the surface it is a battle over mobile phones, but behind the scenes it is actually a battle over chip technology. "

Xia Jingxing nodded lightly. He had now gradually entered the deep water area of ​​industrial upgrading, and was putting the future of the entire Fuxing Industrial Group into a breakthrough in semiconductor technology.

If the semiconductor business cannot sustain itself, the mobile phone business will be in serious trouble.

If the two key businesses cannot be launched in time, Fuxing Industrial's other businesses will also be affected, which is almost equivalent to the collapse of the business half way through.

It’s not easy for China’s Samsung.

The industrial blueprint of the industrial revitalization plan is even grander than that of China's Samsung.

Again, this means the difficulty doubles and doubles.

At present, the relationship between Fuxing Industrial and the major top semiconductor companies is relatively harmonious, but if they no longer purchase their chips or even compete with them, they will fall out in minutes.

It doesn't matter if you fall out. If your own chips hold back your equipment terminal business, you'll be in big trouble. Your brand image will be damaged, leading to a shrinking of your equipment terminal business, which will in turn lead to a reduction in chip demand... A lot of problems will follow.

On the surface, the loss is "one", but after the damage is transmitted layer by layer, the total damage value will increase several times.

This is the trick he plans to use against Samsung. It's called damage stacking. The opponent can also use this trick against Fuxing Industrial.

A big family and a big business means that the advantages and disadvantages are equally obvious.

However, if we listen to the "global industrial division of labor" and abandon the path of self-sufficiency, we will still encounter huge threats and challenges in the future.

Now that he takes this critical step, he is striving to control his own destiny. If he does not take this step, it means letting others decide your life and death.

In contrast, he felt that his life would be more secure if he had to hold it in his own hands.

"Don't dwell on this issue anymore. Sooner or later, those guys and I will have to meet each other. When the time comes, we can just have a vigorous fight. It's useless to think too much."

"That's the right way to think about it. This is the Xia Jingxing I know. You have been in every industry such as the Internet and finance. It makes no sense that when you enter the semiconductor industry, you lose confidence."

Xia Jingxing smiled. He wanted to say that the semiconductor industry was really more difficult than every hurdle he had passed before, because this industry focused on supporting the industry, rather than just being outstanding alone.

Forget it, don't think about it. The more you think about it, the easier it is to feel anxious. The bullets are already loaded, just pull the trigger.

When the gunfire rang out, the whole world became silent.

What? I missed, and the enemy launched a crazy counterattack at me.

Then there is no other way. The surprise battle turns into a strong attack. The brave one wins when they meet in a narrow road. The battle is all about willpower.

The battles he had fought in the past were mostly quick battles, and he had never encountered any flesh mills or meat grinders in a real sense.

As the saying goes, if you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. Since you have chosen to pick the pearl on the industrial crown, you must be mentally prepared to face the counterattack of all hostile forces, and at the same time, prepare for the worst.
