Chapter 331 The Wafer Project of Texas Instruments
In this way, Jester's proposal was successfully supported by everyone. The new host of Mars Entertainment was also confirmed to be named dreambox2, representing the second generation of the dreambox series hosts. For anyone, this name can clearly show the blood relationship of this game console.
"There's the matter about Pokemon."
After Jester finished speaking, his vision shifted to the foreign affairs contact group. He was not asking about the release of the game "Pokemon", but about the cartoon about the game. He found Michigan and Kyoani at that time.
The Foreign Affairs Liaison Department did not dare to neglect it, and said directly: "We contacted ABC. They said that from next week, they will play our cartoon on twenty children's TV stations under their TV network. If the effect is good, they can guarantee that the entire network will be broadcast. In Japan, President Yuxiu just came here today, Fuji TV agreed to our broadcasting requirements. They have watched the sample and heard about the promotion plan for the game while preparing for Christmas. They said that they will buy the first broadcast rights of our cartoon at the highest price for the newcomer, but they have to guarantee that they cannot give it to the TV stations in Japan before they finish broadcasting."
“Very reasonable.”
Fuji TV's requirements are very reasonable. Judging from the other party's attitude and tone, it is obvious that the other party is extremely optimistic about this game, so Jester agreed without hesitation.
However, abc also depends on the ratings requirements...
Jester frowned.
When the Foreign Affairs Liaison Department saw Jester, he looked unhappy and obviously understood why. He quickly said ABC's explanation: "Boss, ABC, they are not looking down on our impression, but because the style of this cartoon is really not very suitable for the aesthetics of American audiences. They are worried about any accidents. But for this cartoon alone, they recognize it, otherwise they would not have given twenty children's TV stations directly in one breath."
Hearing his subordinates' explanation, Jester could only nod helplessly. Even if he was dissatisfied, he would not have allowed ABC to broadcast it directly to him on the entire network. Moreover, the other party's concerns were very reasonable. The style of "Pokemon" is too un-American.
Jester even had the idea of directly acquiring a TV network himself. Now that he has acquired a TV network, he will definitely be able to make a profit in the future. However, when he thinks about the backers behind the five major TV networks and the US government's review of the qualifications of those who acquired the TV network, he feels that this can only be a whim. Moreover, this is just a temporary idea. He has no interest in running a huge TV network. This huge, bloated group with tens of thousands of people is not what he likes.
It's like he invested in Samsung. It's not that he has any inappropriate thoughts about Samsung, but that Samsung's current rise in the future has become inevitable. According to the original historical trajectory, Samsung will inevitably become a veritable world-class giant. It just wants to take advantage of the current situation.
Thinking of Samsung, Jester remembered the proposal he gave to the other party before Lee Kun-hee returned to South Korea.
It is to shift Samsung Electronics' attention to LCD screens and mobile phones. These two things are now the two most promising things that consumer electronic products have from materials to products.
Moreover, the current new mobile phones have similar foundations, and it is not too late for Samsung to enter the market. Four years later, when this new signal communication mobile phone began to become popular on a large scale, Samsung could already produce very mature models. By that time, Samsung began to officially rise.
As for LCD, when Jester talked about this, he could clearly see the other party's desire for his proposal from Lee Kun-hee's eyes.
Moreover, Lee Kun-hee's subsequent words also proved that he had a good analysis of this through the other party's eyes.
"I am indeed very interested in LCD technology." Lee Kun-hee also smiled bitterly, and then said helplessly, "The current LCD technology, the top-level ones are basically in the hands of Japan. Needless to mention the top-level LCD technology in Japan, even if it is a second-level one, they will not be able to give it to us."
As he said that, Lee Kun-hee cursed fiercely: "Damn the Yanxing theory."
And Jester just didn't say a glance, watching Lee Kun-hee complaining.
Lee Kun-hee didn't care. After cursing for a few words, he calmed down and continued: "They can give us the third generation of LCD screen manufacturing technology that can only belong to their third generation. This is the initial technology, and the yield rate is very low. This kind of LCD screen basically doesn't make much money - that's fine. Samsung can do this day and knows that no matter what technology, it requires you to study it slowly. You can't become a fat man in one bite, but their price is really..."
Jester knew that Japanese companies were domineering and rude in this era, and he had no choice but to comfort Lee Kun-hee: "No matter what price the other party wants, we agree. As long as we can bite the other party tightly and not let the other party's skills exceed us too high, in the future, we can still complete counterattacks and overtake, and there will definitely be a chance."
These words made Lee Kun-hee widen his eyes. He looked at Jester in disbelief. He didn't understand why Jester said so confidently. The reason why he has not made up his mind yet is because as long as the Japanese don't make mistakes, he will almost always be able to eat dust behind the Japanese in terms of LCD screens.
Want the Japanese to make mistakes?
That is impossible. The competition between the Japanese themselves is very fierce. Sony Panasonic Sharp's research direction is not the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same. No matter whichever the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same
Jester cannot say about the financial crisis in 1997, because it was because of this financial crisis that Japanese electronic companies had no choice but to sell their best production lines directly in order to protect themselves. Otherwise, Samsung would not have the opportunity to take advantage of the rapid rise of the financial crisis in 1997, and Japanese companies would not have fallen sharply from then on.
So, Jester just smiled mysteriously.
"Brother Li, it's up to people."
"It's up to man." Lee Kun-hee carefully chewed the four words that Jester said. Gradually, his determination gradually became stronger. Jester said a lot. He had the determination to rise with Samsung, but he also needed God's favor. He did what he could. If God really favored him, he would naturally get opportunities. If he didn't favor him, he would not become worse.
At least the technology that the Japanese want to sell to them now is already difficult for them to develop.
As long as you enter that door, how much success you can achieve depends on your efforts and luck. After thinking for a long time, Lee Kun-hee finally made a decision.
These memories flashed through Jester's mind. When he was on the phone with Lee Kun-hee, he forgot to ask him about this. After all, this is the key to Samsung's success in the future. Moreover, Jester recently heard that several silicon crystal factories in Texas Instruments seem to want to move to Asia. The first choice is Wanwan. The person he contacted is Wang Yongqing of Formosa Plastics, a powerful figure in the business world. However, as far as Jester knows, Wang Yongqing seems to be not very concerned about this matter. Now Wang Yongqing is thinking about taking the Six Light Project from Wanwan's government.
However, TSMC's Chang Zhongmou is very interested. He is looking for an acquaintance to contact Texas Instruments and wants to cooperate with Texas Instruments.
Samsung naturally has its own wafer factory, but their wafer factory is definitely far inferior to Texas Instruments. Moreover, Jester also knows the importance of wafers, which is almost the foundation of electronic technology. Therefore, after hearing about this, he was also very interested. He also asked someone to inquire about Texas Instruments, and Texas Instruments said that it was true.
Even Jester misunderstood Texas Instruments, thinking that Jester, a rich man, wanted to make wafers, and even sent a CEO-level person to meet Jester in person.
However, after Jester explained that this was just a misunderstanding, Texas Instruments said that their initial plan was to transfer their wafer factories to Asia and then start building the world's most advanced wafer processing factory. At that time, Jester wanted to ask Lu Da if there was hope. Texas Instruments regretfully said that it was impossible. For projects as high-end and sophisticated as wafers, the federal government would not allow them to transfer them there.
It would be fine if it was the honeymoon period between the two sides before, but now with the reform of the Soviet Union, although China and the United States still have a good relationship on the surface, they are far from as harmonious as a few years ago.
"What about South Korea?"
Faced with Jester's problem, Texas Instruments did not hesitate at all. They nodded seriously and said that South Korea's is completely OK. Then Jester begged Texas Instruments in his private capacity. He hopes that you will not reach an agreement with TSMC for the first time, because he has a power and ability in South Korea, with far more than TSMC, and people who are also very interested in wafer production.
Texas Instruments also knew that Jester was the executive director of Samsung, so it naturally reminded Samsung.
