The magic capital is located in the east of China, the economic and political leader of the Yangtze River Delta, and is known as the Pearl of the Orient.

Huaxia's most famous chip manufacturing and foundry company is located here, in Jing'an District.

Today, SMIC has internal and external troubles, and there are many small and medium shareholders inside. The largest shareholder only owns less than one-fifth of the equity. It can be seen that the number of shareholders is large, and there are many foreign structures and companies.

The outside also needs to face competitors and peer peeps, such as Samsung Electronics and TSMC.

TSMC even launched a secondary lawsuit against SMIC, suing it for infringement and infringement of the patent right of chip manufacturing.

Zhang Rujing, the founder and shareholder of SMIC, faces more troubles. As the soul of SMIC, he does not own most of the equity, and only owns less than 1% of the equity.

Even if the equity of other Genesis teams is added, the right to speak is still very small, which is restrained by many shareholders.

"Ru Jing, you are in a very troublesome situation at SMIC now. I'm afraid there are many people waiting for you to leave SMIC."

"Heaven is jealous of Yingcai, I am envied by others, and now SMIC probably doesn't want me to stay."

Facing the words of his friend, Zhang Rujing laughed at himself. In order to rapidly develop chip manufacturing, he drew a lot of money into SMIC.

Naturally, there are many benefits, strong funds, and a fast start. In just three or four years, SMIC has become the largest chip manufacturing company in China, and it has directly listed in North America and Hong Kong Island.

But the disadvantages have also emerged. Internal competition consumes a lot of money, the interests of shareholders are unevenly distributed, and they are deeply involved.

"I'm afraid it's more about interests. You have always advocated long-term and continuous investment to strengthen SMIC's self-research and technological innovation. But some shareholders are short-sighted and feel that their interests are harmed."

"The threshold of chip manufacturing technology is very high. If you don't have your own technology, you will inevitably be at the point of being restrained by others in the future, and you will eat by watching other people's faces."

"You're right, SMIC is showing some clues now. If it wasn't for TSMC, why would SMIC need to get to where it is now?"

SMIC has been sued by TSMC in a row, and suffered compensation last year. Now it is sued again, and I am afraid it will also pay the price.

The reason for all this is the problem of patented technology. TSMC has many patents in this area and is a giant in the industry.

SMIC must go out of innovation and need to invest more capital, so that the enterprise can develop better.

"You are right, technological innovation must continue to go on. If SMIC can't stay, then I will stand up."

"Yes, if SMIC does not have our foothold, it can completely create a chip company."

Liang Mengsong nodded slightly. Of course, he and Zhang Rujing, the high-end technical staff in Kyoto, did not want to take this anger anymore.

After a moment of silence, Zhang Rujing asked Liang Mengsong for advice, "What do you think about Haotian Group's proposal?"

Jin Yue of Haotian Group has been dealing with UMC in Taiwan Island and SMIC in Magic Capital, wanting to get a chance to cooperate, but unfortunately the final result is not feasible.

SMIC doesn't want to give up the cake at all. It's right to think about it. SMIC is the leading company in the chip field of Huaxia. Even a mobile phone manufacturer like Haotian Group is not worth their share of the cake.

Liang Mengsong shook his head. He was not optimistic about this kind of cooperation, because SMIC suffered a lot. "The proposal is not bad, but unfortunately it is very difficult to realize."

Zhang Rujing stared at Liang Mengsong and shrugged helplessly, "I didn't agree at the first time, but even if I agree later, I'm afraid I won't be able to reach a cooperation."

Liang Mengsong picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip. The bitterness and sweetness of the tea made him relaxed and happy, "Now, the tea is good."

Zhang now looked at this friend angrily, picked up the teacup and tasted it, "It's not bad, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge, let's go with the flow."

Today's SMIC is probably no longer the company it used to be. Their ability to control has weakened a lot, and it is more like a bully.

The two fell silent one after another, while Liang Mengsong hesitated for a moment and asked, "By the way, will there be a turning point in this shareholders' meeting?"

In early May, SMIC held a general meeting of shareholders to announce major events.

This is the most important thing for SMIC, and it may undergo earth-shaking changes.

The most important thing is that Haotian Group buys SMIC aggressively and seems to be preparing to become SMIC!

Haotian Group is a large enterprise that no one can ignore. Haotian HTOne mobile phone alone has achieved tens of billions, or even hundreds of billions of revenue.

"It's hard to say, but it will definitely change, it's inevitable."

"Rujing, you are right, Haotian Group's purpose is very clear, to gain the right to speak in SMIC, whether it is to let Haotian Group cooperate with SMIC, or entrust orders to SMIC, it is very important. matter."

"Yeah, Haotian Group and Hacker Group, two hardware and software companies, have a lot of demand for chips, and Haotian's mid-to-low-end chips can probably meet most of Haotian's chip requirements."

The two directly pointed to the point. Haotian Group especially needs chips, such as drones, such as smart furniture and other products.

And Haotian's purpose must be in this regard, that is, they don't know the specific way of Haotian's development, whether it is cooperation or entrusted orders, or a large-scale fight with the original shareholders.

They are very familiar with the background of SMIC's previous major shareholders and second shareholders. They are backed by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission and controlled by the Huaxia local government.

Whoever faces the companies controlled by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission will be shorter, but Haotian Group is a large-scale enterprise in China, and I am afraid that it also has an extraordinary background. Greentown's leading local enterprise must be very well protected, and its energy is also not small.

"Then wait for the specific situation in early May, and I'm afraid we will have a final decision on whether we will go or stay there."

"Yes, now is waiting for that day to come."

...

Feng Hao, Mo Xiao, and Lan Wufeng took a plane and arrived at the magic capital in the evening on April 29th.

As soon as he got off the plane, Mo Xiaolan looked at the high-rise buildings and sighed, "Mr. Feng, this is the magic capital? Compared with Kyoto, it is not bad at all, and it even seems that the economy is developing better."

This was the first time she came to the magic city, and she was surprised by the evening scenery of the magic city. It was definitely the most prosperous city she had ever seen.

Compared with the magic capital, Greentown is just like the countryside, far inferior.

The world's leading international city is so brilliant and attracts the attention of the world.

"Yeah, it's really busy. In terms of economy, the magic capital and the Shenzhen market are not bad at all, and even the title of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen is spread."

Feng Hao also came to the Magic City for the first time, and was surprised by the high-rise buildings in front of him. This city is more brilliant than Pengcheng.

But this is also normal. The history of Magic City is much longer than that of Pengcheng, with a history of hundreds of years of development.

Pengcheng has only risen in the last 20 to 30 years. It is an emerging city with rapid development and unlimited future prospects.

The former Feng Hao has witnessed the changes of Pengcheng. During his ten years in Pengcheng, the economy has developed rapidly, and high-rise buildings have popped up everywhere.

The three of them sighed for a moment, and Feng Hao called out to Mo Xiaolan, "Let's go, Jin Yue must be waiting for us at the exit now."

Of course Mo Xiaolan and Wu Feng had no objections, and nodded slightly, "President Feng, is President Jin coming to pick us up?"

Feng Hao stared ahead and smiled slightly, "Yes, he has been here for a while, and he must know a lot about the situation."

Jin Yue came to the Magic City many times, and each time he stayed for a long time, he was of course familiar with the situation in the Magic City.

This trip to the magic capital may let him be a tour guide and sort out the relevant situation.

Mo Xiaolan hadn't asked about the purpose of this trip before, but now she asked curiously, "Mr. Feng, what is the purpose of our magic capital this time? Is it convenient to talk about it?"

As a secretary, of course she knew what to inquire about and what not to inquire about.

But now that they have all come to the magic capital, she will definitely come into contact with them. Now that she understands, she may be able to better handle related matters and arrangements.

Secondly, she will take up a management position in the future, and now she can learn by Feng Hao's side, master relevant useful knowledge, and pave the way for future work.

There is no need to hide these things at all, Feng Hao told Mo Xiaolan directly, "Xiaolan, this time, we came to Magic Capital mainly to come to SMIC, and Haotian invested in SMIC, seeking to be in the We have a certain say in chip manufacturing."

This time, Mo Xiaolan was even more surprised. She knew that Haotian had purchased the original drone chips from SMIC. "We Haotian have invested in SMIC? Is it for the chip R&D company?"

"Yes, this is the most critical aspect of it."

"That's it, then I understand."

Mo Xiaolan got confirmation from Feng Hao, and instantly understood Feng Hao and Haotian's plan. Haotian is planning for the chip plan. The original Haotian chip research and development subsidiary has chip design solutions, while SMIC is the foundry and manufacture of chips.

The combination of the two allows the chip to be turned into a finished product to achieve the ultimate goal.

"Let's go, Jin Yue may be in a hurry."

"Okay, let's go now."

A group of three people met Jin Yue at the exit of the airport.

"President Feng, Mo Xiaolan, Wu Feng, how are you?"

As soon as Jin Yue saw Feng Hao and Mo Xiaolan, Wu Feng walked up quickly and welcomed them.

"Mr. Jin, long time no see."

"Mr. Jin, hello."

"Jin Yue, long time no see."

Of course Feng Hao and the others responded with a smile, but Feng Hao said without being polite, "This is not the place to talk, let's go directly to the hotel."

Of course Jin Yue knew this, and nodded slightly in response, "Okay, Mr. Feng, come with me."

After going around, they came to the car that Jin Yue drove, a business sedan.

A group of people took a business car to the Magic Capital International Hotel, and they found a room and were ready to check in.

"Mr. Feng, I'm also staying at this hotel. You can put your luggage first, and I'll report to you later."

"Okay, then let's go back to our respective rooms first, gather for dinner an hour later, and then discuss the specific situation, is there any problem?"

"No problem!" X3

Feng Hao's plan, the other three of course agreed.

...

In the Magic Capital International Hotel, at eight o'clock at night, in the temporary conference room of Feng Hao's residence, he asked Jin Yue, "Jin Yue, it's hard work this time."

Jin Yue shook his head, slightly ashamed, "President Feng, these are what I should do. This time I failed to acquire enough equity. This is my mistake."

After simply packing up, they had dinner, which they would eat at the hotel due to business.

Of course, no matter how bad a five-star hotel is, it won't be that bad, but a few people didn't have much thought to enjoy the food.

Of course Feng Hao understood the difficulty and didn't mean to blame Jin Yue, "It's okay, this is to be expected, after all, SMIC's stock is already very scattered, and it falls into the hands of many overseas institutions and funds, so it must be difficult to get hold of it. You've done a great job here."

Jin Yue breathed a sigh of relief and said with a wry smile, "Mr. Feng, then we only own 7% of the equity now, so I'm afraid it won't be able to play any role."

Feng Hao revealed a mysterious smile and said indifferently, "Don't worry, I never fight a battle that I am not sure of, and I also buy a lot of equity from other channels."

Jin Yue heard the words, his eyes narrowed, and he exclaimed, "President Feng, what's going on?"

Feng Hao explained with a smile and explained the situation to Jin Yue, "I acquired part of SMIC's equity through Haotian Venture Capital, about 19%, and spent a huge price of 2.3 billion."

"Haotian Venture Capital's Wenmeng Wenmeng?"

"That's right, it's him. This time I let him go to Hong Kong Island and North America to secretly acquire equity."

"That's great, then we can get favorable terms."

"Yeah, that's true. Tell me about SMIC's situation. I used to contact you by phone before, so I'm afraid it's not clear."

Feng Hao explained the acquisition of Wenmeng to Jin Yue clearly, so that he had a bottom line.

"Okay, Mr. Feng, I understand, then I'll tell you about SMIC's situation now."

"Just take a sip of water and speak slowly."

Feng Hao looked at Jin Yue's nervous appearance, pointed to the pure water in front of him, and said with a smile.

"Press, SMIC is currently facing internal and external troubles, and internal infighting is very fierce. The founding team headed by Zhang is in conflict with the rights and interests of some shareholders, and I am afraid they may be compatible. Externally, facing TSMC, Taiwan UMC, Samsung and other companies The competition is at an absolute disadvantage. Especially in the face of TSMC, the related lawsuits may be enough for SMIC to eat a pot."

When it comes to the situation of SMIC, Jin Yue seems to have a headache and is absolutely complicated. There are so many institutional fund companies involved, especially the ability of these shareholders should not be underestimated.

Now that Haotian has invested in it, I am afraid it will be another **** storm.

As for the young man in front of him, can he lead Haotian to a **** path?
