The international grain merchant delegation still reached a consensus and resorted to delaying tactics, shelving public opinion and negotiations, and withdrawing troops.
ABCD's four major grain merchants withdrew from China one after another. Before leaving for Malaysia, Robert Kuok stayed in Yanjing for one more day. Finally, he waited until Lu Fei "just happened" to finish the Gannan location scene and flew back to Sijiu City.
Under the arrangement of Secretary Yang, two people, an old man and a young man, met at the Yanjing International Trade Building owned by the Guo family.
"Mr. Guo."
Lu Fei stepped forward quickly and shook hands respectfully without feeling inferior. This man was as famous as Huo Guantai from Xiangjiang. Li Huagua had to call him Big Brother when he saw him.
"Eye like a torch is priceless."
Robert Kuok looked at you with narrowed eyes, "The person I heard the most about when I came to Yanjing was Mr. Lu. I finally met you in person."
"You have offended me. If you want to see me, just make a phone call." Lu Fei said in a polite tone.
"You want to avoid suspicion, and I also want to avoid suspicion, hahaha."
Robert Kuok, hunched over, walked slowly into the splendid banquet room.
Lu Fei understood and raised the corners of his mouth: "Thanks to Arowana's intelligence, we were able to win so beautifully in the Rizhao battle."
"Just doing some trivial work."
Robert Kuok sat on the sofa, waved his hand and said, "Even without us, Mr. Lu must be sure of victory, right?"
Lu Fei sat opposite him, "At least it won't be so easy and beautiful, and the next step won't be stable either."
Robert Kuok was slightly surprised and said: "Mr. Lu, what's the next step?"
Lu Fei said: "Mr. Guo, you and I both know that ABCD has to retreat as a last resort and will definitely come back. If they suffered a loss this time, they will be vigilant next time and be more difficult to deal with."
"That's right, even if you block it this time, there will be a next time, and the next time. If you can only be a thief for a thousand days, how can you prevent a thief for a thousand days?"
Robert Kuok advised emphatically not to get too deep into the soybean oil field.
"We are just trying our best and making some profits. Luhua's core business is peanut oil."
Lu Fei readily accepted that the four major grain merchants could firmly control the upstream of the soybean industry chain, seed technology and planting origin. They had monopolized the soybean industry for decades in Brazil alone and could not be shaken off overnight.
"Haha, drink tea, drink tea."
Robert Kuok raised his arm in a gesture of invitation.
Lu Fei drank the fragrant tea and chatted with him.
Starting from the grain and oil business, he gradually spread to the media, real estate and other businesses. He secretly mixed private goods into the topic, and mentioned semiconductors in every few sentences.
Malaysia is a major semiconductor production center in the world, with more than a dozen packaging and testing plants such as Intel, AMD, Infineon, and Texas Instruments.
Packaging and testing is the last step in the chip process. The wafer needs to be packaged before it can be turned into a chip, and testing is to detect the yield rate. The entire industry is labor-intensive, with the lowest technical content and the lowest gross profit margin in the division of labor.
The gross profit margin of design is about 60%, equipment and manufacturing can reach about 45%, but packaging and testing is only within 20%. But even chip packaging and testing, compared with ASE, TSMC in Bay Area, and STARS ChipPAC in Singapore , a comparison of America’s security——
There is also a generation gap of one or two generations, and the only promising company, Changdian Technology, has already boarded SMIC's ship.
There are only three ways in front of us. One is to find OEMs from big manufacturers such as Intel, and the other is to find support from Tongfu Microelectronics and Huatian Technology.
Third, just like Samsung and Texas Instruments, Logic is an IDM company, and I want it all in terms of design, manufacturing, and packaging and testing!
"Seasoning and testing factory?"
Robert Kuok's eyes sparkled.
He has great ambitions in his chest, a good plan in his belly, the opportunity to contain the universe, and the aspirations of heaven and earth. This boy is so terrifying!
Lu Fei said: "Yes, domestic packaging and testing is still at a low-end level and lacks advanced technology. I have been looking for suitable partners and advanced technology to build China's first wafer-level packaging and testing factory!"
Robert Kuok took a breath and said, "Do you want me to help you find out the news from Malaysia?"
"To be precise, Mr. Guo, and Singapore. Singapore and Malaysia have deep connections in semiconductor technology."
Lu Fei's face was full of smiles. He was not afraid of owing favors at all, but was suspected of deliberately giving them away.
After all, with Logic's brand, it is not necessary for Robert Kuok to contact and cooperate with the semiconductors of the two countries. Killing chickens with a bull's-eye is a waste of time, but for equity participation, or even acquisitions, you must have a local leader to control it.
"Although I don't understand semiconductors, as long as it is beneficial to China, I will be happy to help with this small favor."
Robert Kuok raised his eyebrows: "I still have some popularity in Malaysia and Singapore. I should be able to get results if I ask."
Lu Fei offered tea instead of wine. While toasting the tea, he thanked her and looked at each other, saying nothing.
In just half an hour, one of them was low-key and restrained, while the other was sharp and sharp, but they seemed to have become a couple who have been together forever.
In the end, because Guo Henian was too old to talk for a long time, he had to end the chat hastily, but insisted on sending Lu Fei to the elevator in person.
"Ankou, he has left. I will help you to rest."
Guo Kongfeng supported his uncle carefully.
"The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. This Lu Fei is unparalleled among the younger generation!"
As Kuok Henian walked, he murmured: "It is worth our deep friendship."
Guo Kongfeng asked curiously: "Are An Kou and Li Zekai not as good as each other?"
"Before PCCW, it would have been bright for a while, but now -"
Guo He was young and shook his head lightly: "The Xie family's treasure tree occasionally has yellow leaves and is green and handsome, so small flaws are inevitable."
Guo Kongfeng asked again: "Who are the Huo family members?"
"The ancestors were virtuous, and the descendants were under the influence. If we were to compete, I fell on him and seemed to see the shadow of Guantai."
Robert Kuok murmured to himself: "I don't know if he is Liu Bei or Cao Cao..."
………
The next day, courtesy returned, Lu Fei was escorted into the elevator by Robert Kuok, and he also escorted Robert Kuok to the airport.
Then they transferred to the Modern Agricultural Science and Technology Park in Xiaotangshan, where the crew of "A World Without Thieves" built an 8,000-square-meter studio.
The one-day shooting plan was divided into two, with half of the time filming the protagonist's scene and half of the time filming the painter-police scene.
It can be completed in five days as fast as eight or nine days as slow as possible.
After Lu Fei finished filming, he took off his makeup and left the crew. He ran around Penguin, Sogou, and Feigou for a while, and had to pay close attention to the logic remotely.
The car stopped and stopped on the Xizhimen Overpass. The sky outside the window was dark, with no moon or stars in the night sky.
"Mr. Lu, there is news from Malaysia."
Sun Hongjun said: "APS in Singapore has an experimental technology for chip packaging and testing. It is interested in looking for partners, but has not found investment. Do we want to take over?"
Lu Fei asked carefully. The full name of APS was the Integrated Circuit Packaging Technology Research and Development Institution. It wanted to use the latest developed copper pillar bump packaging technology, either to invest in the technology or to license the patent.
Packages include glass, ceramics, plastics, and metals. In the military and civilian electronics fields, most are metal packages.
Sun Hongjun received the order to "take it" and hesitated: "Mr. Lu, actually I don't think Logic needs to get involved in packaging and testing. There are many packaging and testing centers around the world. As long as we produce the chips, packaging and testing will not be a problem. SMIC Just outsource it to Infineon."
"Outsourcing is necessary, but internal packaging and testing within the company is also indispensable. We need to do both."
Lu Fei touched his chin and saw that there are two semiconductor operating models, one is IDM vertical integration, and the other is vertical division of labor.
Logic naturally adheres to the IDM route and never wavers!
Setting up a packaging factory is not only for chips, but also for packaging and testing of a complete set of discrete devices for mobile phones. In the future, the mobile phone approval mechanism will gradually be liberalized, and the number of packaging orders for domestic mobile phone manufacturers will definitely increase, which can accumulate experience and funds for logical mobile phones.
What's more, once you are sanctioned, you will stop working. It is better to have a father and a mother than to have one yourself.
"Best regards, Mr. Lu!"
Sun Hongjun was completely convinced and had no objection, "I'll let Hu Yuhua do it right away."
Lu Fei said: "Industrialization should be done sooner rather than later. If you can do something with less than 10 million US dollars, do it quickly!"
Sun Hongjun smiled and said: "It would be even better if I could buy APS."
"The time has not come yet. This time we consider Liu Bei entering Yizhou. Sooner or later, he will bring his technical skills and lead others, all named Logic."
Lu Fei looked out the car window and the scenery flashed past his eyes. What soon came into view was the familiar villa courtyard.
After getting off the car and walking to the door, my mind was filled with the location of the packaging and testing plant, and I pushed the door open absentmindedly.
The light in the room was like daylight, and the restaurant was filled with the aroma of food. Gao Yuanyuan poked her head out of the kitchen:
"A Fei is back? Wash your hands and eat!"
Lu Fei glanced at the dining table and ordered Coke chicken wings, sour potato shreds, stir-fried bean sprouts, and tomato and egg pimple soup.
This little fragrance comes up after scratching it.
Gao Yuanyuan held two bowls, one large and one small, and handed the big bowl to Lu Fei. Then she didn't move her chopsticks and just watched him gobble it up, watching the dishes on the plate being wiped out in a whirlwind, with happiness written all over her face.
"Why don't you eat?"
Lu Fei picked up a chicken wing and put it into her bowl.
Gao Yuanyuan bit off a small mouthful of meat, her eyes curled up with a smile, a farewell was better than a new love, her eyes were full of affection.
Lu Fei finished two bowls of rice, his belly bulged slightly, and he picked his teeth with a toothpick with satisfaction, "Ah, I'm full."
Gao Yuanyuan was in a good mood and tidied up virtuously.
Lu Fei was not idle either. He rolled up his sleeves and took the initiative to wash the dishes. While washing, he hummed "The King of Love Songs":
"I love you more and more, every look touches my heart."
"If this is love, you should be brave enough to stay when you turn around."
"I am willing to do it for you, I am willing to do it for you..."
"ah!"
When Gao Yuanyuan heard "I Do", she woke up from the love song that was full of emotions: "Ah Fei, please ask Wang Fei to be the mentor of "The Voice of China", something happened."
Lu Fei said in surprise: "Is the appearance fee too low? Are there any other conditions?"
Gao Yuanyuan said weakly: "She said it's okay for her to be a mentor, but she wants you to write a song for her."
Lu Fei was surprised: "Ask me to write songs. I only know how to write lyrics. Why don't you just go to Jay Chou?"
Gao Yuanyuan pouted and muttered: "I said the same thing, but after she read "Qili Xiang" written by you, she said that it would be fine to have your lyrics and music. She has a royal producer to tailor it, so why don't the tutor choose someone else? "
Lu Fei rolled his eyes and said, "No, it's just Wang Fei. Are the others still in good condition?"
Gao Yuanyuan blinked: "No, Liu Huan, Yu Qingcheng, and Jay Chou have all signed contracts and are already making advertising plans."
"Don't announce the mentor lineup all at once. Before the competition area auditions, announce a mentor every week."
Lu Fei raised his lips: "Jay Chou takes the stage, and the first one is Wang Fei!"
PS: In chip packaging and testing, Changdian Technology ranks third in the world and first in the country. The qualitative change started with the acquisition of ASP.
Thank you for not bothering with Lee's big 100 starting coins.
