Chapter 247 Great White Shark
"Principal Zhou, you are here so quickly!" Tu Anbei looked at Zhou Shuo in surprise. The Xiucheng and the imperial capital were thousands of miles apart and there was no plane. It would take at least six hours to come over. How could he make a call appear in more than an hour?
"Ha, I just happened to do something in the imperial capital." Zhou Shuo touched the sweat on his head and smiled: "Come from Langfang, it's very fast."
"Oh, so that's it." Tu Anbei just had a preconceived idea and thought Zhou Shuo was just in Xiucheng. After all, Zhou Shuo is the boss, so of course he doesn't have to report to him what he does.
"Old Tu, what did the general manager of Hong Kong Shanghua? " Zhou Shuo asked impatiently as soon as he sat down.
"I didn't say anything, I just hope I can contact you for help." Tu Anbei shook his head, took out a piece of paper and handed it to him and said: "This is the information left by the man. With his passport, corporate license and legal person identity document, it seems that there should be no problem in identity."
Zhou Shuo flipped through a stack of copies in his hand, and it was obvious that the other party was prepared. Many of the documents issued were required to apply for special applications, but it also confirmed his identity as the legal person of Shanghua Company.
He put the finished documents back on the table, knocked his fingers on the table and said, "Old Tu, please recall the process of meeting him. It is best not to miss a single trace, which is very important."
Tu Anbei's expression became very serious. He lowered his head and recalled for a while before he slowly said: "This Kafur looks polite on the surface, but in fact I have a feeling that he is more like a shark. He usually hides under the water and pretends to be harmless. But he is ready to choose people to eat. At that time, he was sitting opposite me and claims that he is the general manager of Hong Kong Shanghua Company..."
Zhou Shuo looked at the majestic man in front of him and gradually overlapped his image with what Tu Anbei described. Although Kafur is a Hong Konger, he speaks Mandarin very well. Unlike some Hong Kong people who are infected with the temperament of the island country, his every move is more like an American, full of confidence.
"Mr. Zhou? I am Kafur. I think Academician Tu has shown you my identity certificate. Hong Kong Shanghua Technology Company is now the general manager."
Like Zhou Shuo, Kafur was also looking at him. He shook his head slightly. Judging from his past experience in looking at people, Kafur felt that Zhou Shuo might be a little worse than being famous when meeting.
Zhou Shuo did not feel domineering, which was different from the mainstream people in the domestic shopping malls. The shopping mall in the early years of the reform was rough. How could he be able to survive without a little domineering attitude? However, Zhou Shuo felt more easy-going. To be honest, it seemed like a literati is more like a businessman.
This made Kafur feel a little difficult to grasp. Sometimes literati are more difficult to deal with than businessmen, and they always insist on some unreasonable things.
"Please sit down, Mr. Kafur." Zhou Shuo pointed to the sofa opposite him, nodded slightly and said, "I think you have lived in the imperial capital for a long time?"
"For two or three years, I am a person who travels around the world and lives in many places." Kafur smiled proudly and said, "Please be honest. It is more appropriate to do an international background in the semiconductor industry like me. Whether it is introducing technology or solving sales, foreign capital is the best choice for mainland wafer fabs. Mr. Zhou, what do you think?"
Kafur decided to get straight to the point, instead of slowly getting into the topic like normal business negotiations. His confidence comes from the strong strength of the Kang family. Although the Kang family is not as famous as Li Ka-shing, the three Kang brothers are among the best families on the island. Their industries involve many industries such as real estate, hotels, logistics, and telecommunications. If it weren't for this, it wouldn't be possible that China Resources would let go of China.
As an outstanding child of the third generation of the Kang family, Kafur has been in contact with many big names since he was a child. He is really not in his eyes as a mainland nouveau riche like Zhou Shuo.
Zhou Shuo looked up at him. Then he lowered his head and poured him a cup of tea from the teapot, pushed him in front of him and said, "I thought Mr. Kafur should know the mainland very well. But I didn't expect that your sense of the mainland was still superficial."
"It's like drinking tea. It tastes light at the beginning, but it's sweet and sweet. If you want to judge the quality of the tea, it's not enough to just look at the appearance and color. You have to taste it carefully." He looked at Kafur's eyes and said meaningfully: "Although Mr. Kafur looks like a Chinese, he doesn't understand the determination of the Chinese. You only see economic development and technology introduction in the mainland, but ignore our persistence in self-reliance. The semiconductor industry can only work for others by relying on introduction, and we will never allow this situation to continue."
"Okay, I'm a British Hong Konger and I'm not interested in the Chinese's ideas." Kafur waved his hand and said seriously: "As long as China's policy on attracting investment remains unchanged, Mr. Zhou should know that foreign investors always have advantages in investment."
He glanced at Zhou Shuo with a slant, and said with something in his words: "And even the mainland has to be polite to the mainland. At the policy level, doesn't Mr. Zhou understand that you lost from the beginning?"
"In general, you are right." Zhou Shuo nodded and said, "If you are willing to invest in several advanced technologies, even foreign-funded enterprises will still feel that the meat is rotten in the pot. Using the market to exchange technology is indeed a mature route. But--"
"I think Mr. Zhou hasn't figured out the situation yet!" Kafur interrupted Zhou Shuo and snatched the words and said: "This is not a 'ordinary situation', but the technical support that the 908 project can currently obtain is concentrated in the hands of Shanghua Technology. Without Shanghua Technology, Huajing could not complete the 908 project independently."
This is the real reason why Kafur is fearless. As the most cutting-edge technology industry, the semiconductor industry itself has limited talent resources. In order to support the 908 project, China Resources has indeed tried its best to search for talents that can be found. The 908 project itself is a project with backward technology and weak funds, and it is even more difficult to find talents. It is finally difficult to tailor a team, and almost all the possibilities are found.
If you change other teams, it is not just a replacement. It is rare for each team to be familiar with a system for Japanese machines, American machines or Dutch machines. There are so many options for the 908 project, and many equipment are pieced together. Therefore, Shanghua Technology Company has many difficulties in recruiting talents. If you change to teams from other countries, the equipment must be replaced. In terms of cost, satellites will be immediately put on.
Only with such a team in hand can Kafur dare to covet Huajing. As long as these talents are invested in, Huajing's six-inch production line can be started and profitable.
"Mr. Kafur is too confident, right?" Zhou Shuo raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "Don't forget that the same six-inch production line, Shougang nec has completed the preparations for the previous process and can be put into production at any time. It is not only Hong Kong that can provide these talents, Japan, Taiwan, the United States and even ourselves. As long as you have money, it is not impossible to make up the talent needs of the six-inch production line."
"Even if you have to invest more than 100 million US dollars because of this?" Kafur sneered: "With the current progress of the 908 project, it is impossible to use Japanese or American technicians without 100 million US dollars. I know that Fanhan Group has a monocrystalline silicon manufacturer in Bohai Province, but even if the sales are fine, the profit per year is only 30 million US dollars."
Zhou Shuo sighed, shook his head helplessly and said, "So it is impolite to interrupt others' words. Mr. Kafur probably doesn't know enough about me. Otherwise, you should know what I mean."
He spread his hands and looked at Kafur and said, "For a person who owns 20% of Netscape, 5% of Microsoft shares, and a joint venture with the three American Internet giants, I can also take out 100 million US dollars, not to mention 100 million US dollars."
Kafur looked at him in disbelief. Zhou Shuo did not know much. After all, the most tier city in China is the third-tier city, so what amazing people can come out of it? Even if Zhou Shuo achieved the production technology of China's first 200mm single crystal silicon ingot, he at most attributed the credit to the technical accumulation of Huaguang Factory and the copycat of Japanese goods. In any case, he would never have imagined that the guy who caused a huge storm in the US Internet market would actually hide in that kind of small place.
It's like fishing in a mountain stream, but I end up catching a great white shark...
"Are you the legendary Chinese Joey?" Kafur stood up in shock and looked up and down at Zhou Shuo.
Zhou Shuo took out his cell phone and asked, "Do you want to see me call Anderson or Bill? Oh, by the way. But you probably don't know if I call him, are they themselves?"
Kafur's face turned red with anger when Zhou Shuo's contemptuous smile. The Kang family had a big business and hundreds of billions of dollars might not be able to make up, but of course these resources could not be concentrated on him. The resources that can be used for Shanghua Technology Company are at most 200 million US dollars. Compared with the huge resources that Zhou Shuo can mobilize, those who said before are inevitably a bit ridiculous now.
Whether it is connections, technology or foreign capital, Kafur suddenly felt that the two people who could look straight at each other suddenly needed to look up to see Zhou Shuo's face clearly.
"So, Mr. Zhou will never give up on the 908 project?" Kafur asked with a dark face.
