Chapter 1068 But This Is Just the Beginning

Zhonghai City.

As the boss of Huaxin International, Mr. Zhang Rujing does not feel that he is a gun in the hands of others.

Because this Mr. Zhang is a person who has lived a hard life.

I think back then, when I first came to the new market of mainland China, the situation was not open at all. The market demand is zero, and the technical foundation is even more lacking. Even the equipment for chip OEM production cannot be imported.

However, this kind of background also gave Zhang Rujing the ability to maneuver both ways in mainland official circles and upper-class circles.

After all, no one knew more about semiconductors at that time than him, who had worked at Texas Instruments and Intel.

Relying on this ability, Zhang Rujing established the Huaxin International company with great difficulty.

Just looking at the name of the company, it sounds particularly knowledgeable. To be precise, it will brush the edges and attract attention.

In this way, Boss Zhang finally felt proud and straightened up as a man.

It plans to use the mainland market to start a counterattack, and even in the near future, it will be able to compete with Zhang Zhongmou of TSMC and Cao Yicheng of UMC.

Who would have thought that at this time, in a blink of an eye, the Batumi Federation's embargo and blockade order on the Chinese semiconductor industry was loosened.

Immediately afterwards, the wafer fab secretly established by Toshiba as its sole proprietorship began to be justified and launched with great fanfare.

Huaxin International's survival pressure suddenly came.

What's even more overwhelming is that Yuanqi Technology, which has strong capital and rapid technological advancement, suddenly embarked on chip research and development, and repeatedly created crazy momentum in TV media and traditional paper media.

Not to mention the IC colleges that have been established in major universities.

The situation suddenly opened up.

Although Huaxin International has gained a lot of glory, it has lost the unique advantage of Scorpion Baba.

And all kinds of monsters and monsters began to turn their attention to this virgin land, and new companies and new factory buildings sprouted up like weeds after the rain.

This really caught Zhang Rujing off guard.

But that's not all. What's even more fatal is that the subsequent ban on Taiwanese semiconductor companies entering the mainland to invest was broken.

Zhang Zhongmou and Cao Yicheng, who had already been successful in Taiwan, entered the mainland market with great force.

Zhang Rujing's earlier speculative plans suddenly became meaningless.

Therefore, the past six months to a year have been the most difficult time for Zhang Rujing in mainland China.

Until not long ago, the spokesperson of that power came to him.

Only then did Zhang Rujing realize that the opportunity for a counterattack was right in front of him. Immediately, he made a new plan to prepare a new process production line for the second branch factory, and then frequently flew to the United States. With the help of his previous relationship network, he strongly tapped a group of reserve talents from Texas Instruments and Intel.

After making all these arrangements, Zhang Rujing found Zhang Zhongmou with great fanfare.

As a rising leader in Taiwan's semiconductor industry, Zhang Zhongmou originally looked down upon this colleague who only knew how to play both sides and was not good at doing practical things.

But if the entire Chinese semiconductor market is taken as a common goal, Zhang Zhongmou feels that such a weak peer may not be able to cooperate.

Anyway, both sides are using each other.

At least this Taiwanese fellow is much easier to deal with and dispatch than the powerful Huaxia Wu.

Therefore, the cooperation between the two parties basically hit it off.

The success surprised Zhang Rujingdu, and he even felt a little swollen in his heart.

All kinds of excited little thoughts came and went, and I couldn't suppress them. I even stayed in Zhonghai for the entire New Year.

As a result, Huaxin International's holiday was postponed to the 29th of the New Year as the boss was in high spirits.

Fortunately, today's Chinese employees do not have strong demands for their own rights and interests.

In addition, I cherish job opportunities in foreign companies and Taiwan-funded companies, so I can only accept the willful behavior of my boss.

It’s just that there are always complaints underneath.

CEO's office.

Zhang Rujing was holding the female secretary's hand and talking with great interest, planning to develop this wonderful person in front of him into the position of mistress.

Suddenly there was a hasty knock on the door.

Zhang Rujing felt dissatisfied, and he and the well-behaved female secretary sorted things out separately, and then said in a deep voice: "Come in."

The person who walked through the door was Yang Shining, who was responsible for preparing the construction of the second branch factory.

"Zhang Bo, AMMT just called, saying that there was a fire and that the CMP grinder Mirra, which was originally scheduled to be delivered in April next year, cannot be delivered on time."

Although you are the president of the company, Zhang Rujing secretly still likes his subordinates to call him Zhang Bo.

As soon as he heard this, Zhang Rujing stood up abruptly, frightening the delicate female secretary next to her, her beauty suddenly turned pale and she couldn't help but tremble.

"Delayed delivery will result in liquidated damages! Don't they know this?" Zhang Rujing emphasized angrily.

Yang Shining is a gentleman in the technical field. He is meticulous in his work and is even more strict with technology and pursues perfection.

When he heard that his boss first thought of the liquidated damages, a glimmer of hope flashed in his heart, but he still reminded him with all his heart: "Zhang Bo, I mentioned the issue of liquidated damages, and the other party did not refuse. It's just that compared to the breach of contract, What’s more serious is that due to the delay in the delivery of Mirra equipment, the plan to go online for the second branch plant will be postponed indefinitely.”

"...The losses this will bring to us will be immeasurable. What's more, it is unknown whether the failure to build the second branch factory will have an impact on the cooperation between the company and TSMC."

After such a reminder, Zhang Rujing realized the seriousness of the problem.

"Immediately communicate with AMMT in depth to determine the specific date for delayed delivery and see if there is any room for relief. If that doesn't work, contact other CMP grinder suppliers to see if there are other purchasing channels."

Yang Shining nodded in agreement, that was all he could do now.

But there was a hint of worry in his heart, and he felt that the sudden incident in AMMT was not an accident, but more like a deliberate decision.

After all, if something goes wrong, it will be a monster.

However, seeing Zhang Rujing's still smug expression, Yang Shining swallowed these thoughts.

Hopefully this is really just an accident.

Otherwise... Yang Shining didn't dare to think about it anymore, nodded and left the president's office.

Just when trouble had just befallen Huaxin International, Wu Tao's motorcade finally arrived in Beijiang smoothly.

Just after passing the toll booth and getting off the highway, the convoy stopped.

Not long after, a report came from the front. After listening to it, Song Zhuang reported to Wu Taohui with a wry smile: "Boss, Liu Quanyou from the front will personally lead the team to welcome you back to your hometown. I heard that the battle is a bit big..."

Wu Tao suddenly frowned. This old Liu was even more outrageous than Uncle An when he made trouble...

I just want to go back to my hometown to celebrate the New Year in a low-key manner, so why do I spend the whole day doing these scenes of police cars clearing the way and official cars holding the line?

It seems that once we meet, we have to have a good talk!
