Rich to the third generation

Lived in Las Vegas for a few days.

While Su Yehao took the time to direct others to start businesses, he also had the time to pay attention to the Cyberport project in Hong Kong City.

He was also staring at this project before, and recently learned that the second son of the Li family is negotiating secretly and has reached a certain progress with the Hong Kong government. Su Yehao does not intend to go there to disrupt the situation.

It is said that for the Cyberport project, Mr. Li went to Silicon Valley several times for investigation, and brought a group of technology companies to stand for him.

As for whether to inspect Silicon Valley or the sea view houses in Silicon Valley, in Su Yehao's opinion, it is hard to say.

Compared with the Cyberport project, which is trying to "public-private partnership", he values ​​the cooperation template of Cyberport more.

Bundling the industrial park and the real estate, once done well, both ends can make money, it looks like it can create a replica of Silicon Valley, which is tantamount to a high-tech industry incubator.

In Hong Kong City, it seems a little unaccustomed to transform into a high-tech industry. It has no foundation and lacks talents.

Su ye made an inference from one case and got some inspiration from it.

Therefore, he entrusted someone to get the plan for the Cyberport of the second son of the Li family, and asked his assistants to quickly contact a professional consulting company to change it according to the situation in the Mainland, and temporarily named the project "City of Thousand Chips". ".

The so-called Qianxin is just a synonym.

The core of the whole project is to build a semiconductor industrial park in the mainland around chip research and development and foundry, integrating research and development, production and sales.

Of course, imported assembly and so on can also be counted.

Whether it is the fool machine assembly line that Meidi Group is preparing, or the personal computer assembly factory that Su Yehao is tinkering with, they can all be placed in this "City of Thousand Chips" industrial park that temporarily stays in his mind.

Coupled with the planned wafer foundry and some other projects, in terms of development prospects, isn't it bigger than the Cyberport project?

In addition to semiconductors, the Internet industry can also make arrangements.

At that time, some office buildings will be built as industrial parks and rented to start-up companies at a low price. On the one hand, they can collect rents and enjoy the value-added real estate.

Although the cost is a bit high, there are also many benefits. If you light a fire in this era, there may not be opportunities for a spark to start a prairie fire in the future.

Anyway, I'm ready to invest money in the mainland, since I've invested in it, it doesn't matter if I make it bigger...

February 1999, 23.

Su Yehao returned to Hong Kong City by yacht, first sent Jiang Yu to Mid-Levels, and then took Xiao Nizi to the Garden Hotel to meet with people from PricewaterhouseCoopers Consulting Company.

Sitting in the open-air restaurant on the top floor, tasting authentic Blue Mountain coffee.

At this moment, Su Yehao said to the consultant named Bruce in English:

"I usually cooperate with McKinsey a lot. I heard that the Cyberport plan was made by you, PwC. Now I want a similar plan. I don't care about anything else. Please focus on the semiconductor environment in the mainland and do it for me. When a plan comes out, it’s better to be strong, so that people will feel that my project can detonate the global semiconductor market and lead the future technology trend after reading it.”

Many people in Hong Kong have English names, especially those who work in foreign companies and have studied abroad.

Bruce is a returnee who once studied at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. He is in his 30s, wearing a Rolex, a suit, a white shirt and a tie.

At first glance, he looked more like a boss than Su Yehao.

But, it can only be seen at first glance. Su Yehao is wearing a sweater and paired with a pair of jeans. Bruce is going to sit upright in front of him. He smiles politely and asks cautiously:

"The plan for Cyberport was indeed made by our company. I don't know what purpose you want to achieve in your plan, Young Master Su? I mean it focuses on industrial parks, or on... real estate? I talked to your assistants before. We've communicated, but they don't seem to be very clear about it, so I think it's better to talk to you, Young Master Su, in person, so that the final planning plan doesn't meet your wishes."

After listening, Su Yehao explained with a smile:

"My family has enough land. I really don't plan to continue to invest much money in real estate this time. The focus must be on the semiconductor and Internet industries. Some people only focus on houses. I'm not so short-sighted. The industrial park itself is the key. The prospect of doing semiconductor business is much bigger than that of real estate.”

Bruce felt that he was connoting someone, but he asked more because he was stupid, and continued to ask:

"Then how much money do you plan to invest in this industrial park, master? This is not my gossip, the main reason is that the upper management has been attracting investment. If there are enough chips, it will be more convenient for negotiations."

Su Yehao didn't think about this problem, so he raised two fingers at this moment, and said in his mouth: "Let's start with this much at the beginning, it should be enough as start-up capital, the money for building office buildings and factories can be borrowed first, and it is estimated that a prototype can be created .”

"20 billion Hong Kong dollars?"

Bruce was holding a notebook, carefully recording the key details of the conversation.

"What is 20 billion Hong Kong dollars enough for? At least 20 billion U.S. dollars will be invested in five years. Only then will there be a chance to build a chip foundry. The follow-up investment should be larger, but it needs to be done slowly, otherwise even I can't bear it."

Listen to Su Yehao shaking his head and finish speaking.

Bruce and his colleagues were all dumbfounded.

It is expected to invest 20 billion US dollars in the initial stage, and it is only a prototype?

Hearing this amount, Bruce finally confirmed that Su Yehao really planned to toss about the so-called "City of Thousand Chips" project, not as they had expected before, thinking that he wanted to cheat a piece of land and then develop real estate.

If you just buy land to build a house, it will not cost as much as US$20 billion. Only when you are really ready to invest in high-tech industries will you burn so much money.

In Bruce's impression, the mainland has almost nothing to do with the word "semiconductor". It is only famous for the production of clothing and daily necessities. Although the economic development in the north has been good in recent years, many Hong Kong people have begun to go north to do business. But the impression left on people is still a little behind.

therefore.

Bruce thought he had guessed something, and said with a smile:

"Master Su must have seen the business opportunity. With such a large sum of money, he went north to invest in semiconductors. If he is the first to eat crabs, he will definitely make a fortune. Congratulations in advance for your success! My family has a relative who worked in a research institute in the United States before. , I heard that he is a chip researcher, with an annual salary of more than 50 US dollars, wow, he was poached by a company in Baodao, and he actually earned more."

Su Yehao only thought that he was flattering himself, and said with a smile:

"If it is some top semiconductor experts, it is normal to get so much salary. Once some achievements are made, the bonus may be even more. Let's not mention these, let's talk about the City of Thousand Chips project. What do you want to know? Communicate first, lest you make mistakes and waste time."

Bruce nodded, coughed dryly, and asked, "Then let's talk about the most important point first, where do you plan to build this industrial park?"

Su Yehao answered him:

"Looking through the map at home, I feel that Qianhai in Pengcheng is more suitable for me. Although it is very remote now, the land is flat and close to water sources and docks. It is more suitable in all aspects. I want a larger area this time. , it is best to cooperate with the local people in planning and joint development..."
