Chapter 2856 Speculation
After receiving the news, Samsung will intervene in Qimonda's acquisition. Feng Yiping is prepared for this, but he really underestimated that Samsung would do this in our country and throw out such a big cake.
10 billion US dollars!
He could imagine how many places and people in the country would quarrel over this news at this time.
Samsung's move can really be called killing multiple birds with one stone.
Feng Yiping can see clearly that the main purpose of his move is to win domestic support for Samsung's chip base project. The result is actually to weaken the domestic support for Feng Yiping.
As an important branch of the chip industry, the memory industry was once promoted to the level of scientific and technological economic competition between countries and regions. Now all foreign semiconductor companies, the factories invested in China are back-end processes, mainly focusing on packaging and testing.
Whether it is Samsung, Hynix, or Qimonda, the factories they invested in China are all in these two aspects. The front-end design and manufacturing still maintain a substantial blockade against us.
In the chip manufacturing industry, the share of our independent companies can really be ignored. The revenue of SMIC, the largest domestic semiconductor manufacturer, is estimated to be less than one-tenth of TSMC on the other side of the strait, and it has little impact on the entire semiconductor market.
Is it possible that the large investment proposed by Samsung this time includes the front-end manufacturing project?
They did not specify it clearly.
Precisely because they did not specify it clearly, it is bound to cause some people to have positive associations.
It is undeniable that the domestic demand in this area has indeed been increasing in recent years, which is the driving force for Samsung to make such a decision...
Feng Yiping can see clearly that Samsung threw out this news at this time in order to pull some domestic forces to deal with him.
This move is wonderful!
To be honest, this is the method that Chairman Li should have.
He is an extremely determined and conceited person. For the success of business, he will do anything, such as bribery and tax evasion, which is simply commonplace.
He has been sentenced for this more than once.
Oh, on July 16 last year, he was prosecuted for suspected illegal transfer of business rights and tax evasion, and was sentenced to 3 years in prison by the Seoul Central Court, but as usual, it was suspended, and the suspended sentence was 5 years.
But it is estimated that no prison in South Korea can welcome Chairman Lee to stay, because he will most likely be pardoned this year.
Pardon is a privilege of the South Korean president, which can cancel the punishment of special criminals, and if they have not been sentenced, their right to prosecute can be eliminated.
In South Korea, many entrepreneurs have been sentenced for corruption or dereliction of duty. Even if they are sentenced to prison, many people can later obtain pardons on the grounds of "being able to contribute to national development."
And leaders like Chairman Lee have always been pardoned before going to prison (on the contrary, those presidents who pardoned these chaebols have found it difficult to escape prison, and even their lives will be lost).
How can such a person not have some means?
Moreover, Chairman Lee is a very, how to say, "energetic" person.
Before meeting him, like many people later, Feng Yiping's impression of this Korean legend was that this 70-year-old man, who suffered from heart disease, did not forget to...buy prostitutes, and at one time, he would call three or five young ladies.
Such an old and strong man with super combat power must have very sharp means.
"It seems that my previous prediction in this regard was very insufficient, so I have to trouble you..."
Jin Ling immediately said, "I will take the earliest flight to the capital,"
Since Samsung plans to win support from the top, they certainly can't just sit there and watch.
"The key is still on your side. As long as we can successfully acquire Qimonda, it will not be difficult for us to get support from relevant parties,"
Feng Yiping was also not so optimistic about this.
In this regard, we have learned enough lessons, some of which can even be called painful. He believes that those lessons will still happen next, that is, at some times, some forces may really be more inclined to support foreign companies like Samsung.
He didn't say these discouraging words to Jin Ling.
Fortunately, when he acquired Qimonda, he had no intention of using domestic funds or seeking support from domestic financial institutions. Anyway, there was plenty of money in the account now.
He asked Jin Ling to go to the capital, and what he asked for was the same as his previous request in this regard, not asking for strong support, as long as there was no deliberate obstruction.
Today, he believes that such a goal should still be achieved.
"I will make arrangements here, and you should also start to inquire about relevant information in South Korea," he urged, "Samsung is not us,"
His company has a simple equity structure, and the key is sufficient funds, so he can often decide what to invest in, but Samsung is different.
"To promote the investment in such a large project, they must first obtain the approval of the South Korean government,"
Just like in China, all investment projects must be approved by relevant institutions. Given the relationship between Samsung and the South Korean government, the sensitivity of chip technology, and the fact that it is during the financial crisis, announcing an investment in such a large project in China is not enough for Samsung to be willing, but the South Korean government must speak up.
Jin Ling immediately asked, "Do you suspect that the South Korean government was not aware of this before?"
"This possibility cannot be ruled out," Feng Yiping analyzed, "Think about it, logically, at this time, from a large perspective, even if Samsung wants to invest, shouldn't it increase its investment in South Korea?"
At a time when all countries are scrambling to introduce economic stimulus plans, Samsung has no news of expanding its investment in South Korea, but announced an investment of 10 billion US dollars in our country. How can this be a bit abnormal?
Wait, since you plan to use this news to weaken domestic support for me, or pull some domestic forces to deal with me, can I consider using this news to cause trouble for you in South Korea?
Or go a step further and thus undermine the possible amnesty of the South Korean president for you?
Thinking about the background of the current South Korean president, Feng Yiping feels that the latter point is difficult to achieve, but the former one is really worth a try.
Well, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley have deep tentacles in South Korea, so you can ask them for help.
"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away," Jin Ling said, and then asked with concern, "How are you going to spend the Spring Festival in Munich?"
"Let's spend it together," Feng Yiping stood up.
It was okay for him, at least he had Huang Jingping and his daughter with him. Jin Ling was alone in Sanya and the capital, and was even more lonely than usual.
Watching Huang Jingping and Amanda come in, he said, "Don't worry, your hard work will not be in vain, and you should be assigned a special plane soon."
During the financial crisis, many companies with insufficient funds were in trouble, and it was also a time for companies with sufficient funds to pick up bargains. For example, the planes that used to require waiting in line to get now not only do not need to wait in line, but also have the opportunity to buy brand new planes at a lower price.
He now has several choices.
Huang Jingping was also very interested in buying a plane, and asked, "Have you decided?"
Hearing her words, Jin Ling knew that it was inconvenient for Feng Yiping to talk, "Then I'll hang up,"
Feng Yiping closed his phone and smiled, "Let's buy a big one, Amanda, let's buy a big plane where you can also have a bedroom, okay?"
"Okay, okay," Amanda shouted, "Then can I bring Candy with me on the plane in the future?"
"Of course," Feng Yiping kissed her.
Wu Qian walked in and reminded, "Yiping, it's time to go to the banquet,"
"Okay," Feng Yiping nodded, "You ask Cohen to come first,"
…………
In South Korea, the charter plane that Quan Wuxuan and others took was ready, but President Quan, who was sitting in the VIP lounge at this time, looked particularly solemn.
Although their statement received a very enthusiastic response from Qimonda, he still couldn't relax at all.
He was a little worried that perhaps, when he arrived in Munich, some things would have been settled.
But then he thought that such a result might be the best, because he wouldn't have to face Feng Yiping head-on.
At this time, Chairman Li, who had just finished the meeting, was not idle either. He was urgently meeting with relevant people from the Blue House...
