The groundbreaking ceremony for the second phase of Jinhe Dezhou Electronics Co., Ltd. was still as it was at the beginning of the year. Liao Chengkai presided over it. Cai Zhiliang and several other shareholders symbolically waved shovels and raised a handful of soil.

What Cai Zhiliang did not expect was that at the groundbreaking ceremony, he would meet an acquaintance, Chen Zhiyou from Yulon Group.

In fact, he is not too familiar. He is Cai Mingchao's friend. Cai Zhiliang has only met Cai Zhiliang a few times with his father, and is a business friend.

Yulon Group started in the textile industry and later moved to the automobile industry. It is already the largest automobile group in Taiwan. Chen Zhiyou was previously in charge of the textile industry and started the industry - Taiyuan Textile Company. I just don't know why it appears here today, or maybe

It was Chen Zhiyou who was promoted and transferred from his original position.

"Uncle Chen, did you think you recognized the wrong person just now?" Cai Zhiliang and Chen Zhiyou walked together.

"I was surprised when I saw your name." Chen Zhiyou said, "Before I came here, I asked your second uncle specifically for inquiries. I was afraid that I might have mistakenly admitted the wrong person. I didn't expect that your business has grown so big."

"It just happened to happen." Cai Zhiliang said modestly, "It was just that ITRI was interested in attracting investment and Texas Instruments was expanding its market, so I met it."

"Luck often requires great courage." Chen Zhiyou said with emotion: "Yulon Group has been interested in entering the booming electronics industry since the 1980s, but there have always been doubts internally. During the internal debate, it first missed the opportunity.

UMC missed TSMC last year. This year I directly told the company’s board of directors that we can no longer miss Kingdee Electronics.”

"Thank you for your support." Cai Zhiliang asked: "I remember that you were managing Taiyuan Textile before. Have you been transferred to the group headquarters recently?"

"The group has newly established an electronic technology department, which is currently managed by me." Chen Zhiyou said with a smile, "This is the first investment."

"Thank you for the support of Yulon Group. Jinhe Dezhou Electronics will not disappoint investors." Cai Zhiliang said: "I met Uncle Chen today. I hope to visit Yulon Group tomorrow. I don't know if it is convenient."

"Of course it's convenient." Chen Zhiyou agreed, and then asked: "I heard from your second uncle that you started a new business and are also engaged in the import and export trade of ready-made garments. Last year, you acquired the business of Donglai Trading Company, which has exceeded the scale of Longchang.

.Can you tell me whether this visit to Yulon Group is an impromptu visit, or whether you are planning to seek cooperation with Taiyuan Textile, so that I can have a good idea."

"That's not true, it's just a simple visit." Cai Zhiliang said: "Compared to the textile factory, I am more interested in the Yulon Group's automobile company."

Chen Zhiyou said: "As New Year's Day approaches in the past few days, the chairman went to North America for vacation. You may wish to stay for a few more days. I can also arrange for you to meet with the chairman and visit the automobile company."

"That's really unfortunate. It's just that these days, it's not convenient for me to stay longer. I can only wait until I have the opportunity next time." Cai Zhiliang felt a little regretful, turned around, and finally came back to the front.

After the groundbreaking ceremony, Cai Zhiliang returned to Jinhe Dezhou Electronics, and under the introduction of Liao Chengkai, investors and representatives such as TECO Group shook hands one by one and exchanged a few words.

Subsequently, under the witness of Cai Zhiliang and Shi Zhenrong, Liao Chengkai, representing Jinhe Dezhou Electronics, and Liu Yingwu, representing Acer Group, signed a supply agreement.

"I have long heard that Mr. Cai is really young and promising. When I meet him today, he is even more famous."

"Mr. Shi is honored." Cai Zhiliang said with a smile: "Jinhe Dezhou Electronics is still struggling to survive. It is not as good as the Acer Group, but it has already occupied a place in the global personal computer field. Mr. Shi is the role model for our generation to follow."

"It's only a matter of time." Shi Zhenrong said: "With the support of Texas Instruments and Industrial Research Institute, and under the leadership of Mr. Cai, the future development of Jinhe Texas Electronics is limitless."

Cai Zhiliang said: "Then let me borrow Mr. Shi's auspicious words."

"The popularity of personal computers is inseparable from the rapid development of DRAM technology." Shi Zhenrong's purpose of coming here today is naturally not just for this agreement. He asked directly: "When will Jinhe Dezhou Electronics Co., Ltd. mass-produce 4m

memory chip?”

Cai Zhiliang said: "Jinhe Dezhou has discussed with the Industrial Research Institute again to prepare to independently develop 4m DRAM technology. If it goes well, it will take a year, and mass production of 4m memory may begin in the spring and summer of 1990."

chip."

"Can't we get authorization from Texas Instruments?" Shi Zhenrong was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Jin and Texas would choose to develop independently.

"Currently, only Japan and the United States have mastered 4m mass production technology. Liao Chengkai has traveled to North America several times in the hope of obtaining 4m technology authorization, but failed." Cai Zhiliang said with a wry smile: "Now that time is tight, I can only choose research and development. I have already

Gu Yuande was invited

The doctor is responsible for this. He has worked in IBM's memory department for twenty years and has experience in developing DRAM. On the other hand, Liao Chengkai will continue to contact Texas Instruments in order to obtain 4M technology as soon as possible. Subject to others, this will always happen

It’s so helpless.”

"The same goes for Acer Group, which has recently been involved in a lawsuit over some patents." Shi Zhenrong said: "Developed countries in Europe and the United States have technological advantages and are unwilling to share profits with other companies. It is not easy to find a way out."

"With heavy rewards, these technologies can always be overcome. At present, I am not worried about technical problems, but about sales. Within three to five years, Jinhe Dezhou Electronics will continue to expand its scale, reaching at least a monthly production of more than 100,000 wafers.

If possible, build a new 8-inch wafer fab. By then, Texas Instruments will not be so arrogant." Cai Zhiliang planned a bright future for Jinhe Texas.

"Then let Acer Group and Jinhe Dezhou Electronics encourage each other."

Maintaining long-term cooperation with Acer Group is currently the key task of Jinhe Dezhou Electronics. After all, it is related to the sales of DRAM products. Cai Zhiliang naturally agrees with this sentence and said: "Let's encourage each other."

The guests who were watching the ceremony left one after another. Cai Zhiliang, accompanied by Liao Chengkai, visited the workshop again. It was much better than last time. At least the once very impressive yield rate has increased to more than 60%, and it has a large number of skilled technical workers.

This will lay a good foundation for the commissioning of the second phase of the project.

In the evening, Gu Yuande, who was responsible for setting up the R&D department and discussing cooperative research and development with the Industrial Research Institute, brought back good news: "The Industrial Research Institute agreed to use us as the mainstay and contact other scientific research institutions to jointly develop 4m technology. In addition, the Industrial Research Institute agreed to jointly develop 4m technology with us.

The institute said it could invest US$5 million for research and development.”

"Did you tell them anything?" Cai Zhiliang was a little surprised.

"No." Gu Yuande shook his head and said, "I just expressed my opinion, and they agreed and expressed their willingness to invest. Perhaps they were worried that we would not be willing to share technology with them."

"We are on someone else's chassis. It's written in black and white. What do they have to worry about?" Cai Zhiliang naturally didn't think so. The pie in the sky would never be dropped for no reason, but he couldn't figure it out and said: "Forget it, after all.

It’s a good thing. It’s only right to conquer the 4m technology as soon as possible. Then there will be no need to worry about it.”

Gu Yuande said: "Don't worry, it won't be delayed."

That night, Cai Zhiliang received news from George Smith that the subsequent box office trend of "Rain Man" was very stable. It did not follow the trend of at least a 30% decline in the second week. Instead, under the stimulation of Christmas, the box office trend was very stable.

The box office for the two weekends and three days has increased to a certain extent, and now the box office has reached 23 million US dollars. As a result, "Rain Man" will not be a problem in theaters for two or three months, and it is expected to eventually have a box office of 100 million.

100 million? Cai Zhiliang shook his head and laughed. It is still too early to say the final estimate. However, it finally seems to be a bit of a box office hit. It should not be difficult to recover the cost through the box office.

Later, Cai Zhiliang contacted Cui Fanghua and learned that the latter had left Taipei and went to Tainan to promote the record and would soon go to Alishan to meet the crew of "The Swordsman".
