Chapter 215: The entertainment industry is really a kind place!

When Liu Zhicheng and his team came to the Shanghai Stock Exchange, the government offered them many projects, hoping to get his investment, but Liu Zhicheng rejected them one by one.

The next day, I went to the Shanghai Stock Exchange meeting room.

"Mr. Liu, we warmly welcome you to Shanghai for investment inspection." The senior official shook Liu Zhicheng's hand and said with a smile.

"I am also very happy to come to Shanghu again. I have felt the enthusiasm of the people of Shanghu and I am grateful for the hospitality of the senior officials."

Both parties sat down and continued to exchange pleasantries.

"Mr. Liu is planning to invest in the automobile industry in Shanghai this time?" the senior official asked.

"Yes, I have communicated with President Rao, but I have not received a reply." Liu Zhicheng smiled and said.

"Please rest assured about this issue, Mr. Liu. As soon as we received the news, we organized a team to go to the capital. I believe there will be results soon."

This is also one of the purposes of Liu Zhicheng's trip to the Shanghai Stock Exchange. He hopes to get the support of the Shanghai Stock Exchange so that he can quickly finalize this investment plan.

Now with the support of Shanghai Stock Exchange, Liu Zhicheng only needs to wait for news. In order to thank Shanghai Stock Exchange, he decided to give it the best of its favor.

"I am very grateful for the support of Shanghai. In addition, I would like to invest in an automobile industrial park in Shanghai to contribute to the localization of Santana parts."

After the successful assembly of Santana, what China urgently needed to solve was the issue of localization of parts and components.

But by 1987, Santana's localization rate was a pitiful 2.7%. Only the tires, radios, speakers, antennas, small signs, etc. were domestically produced, which was far from the goal.

The relevant leaders put forward two requirements: First, the localization rate must reach the target within three years, otherwise SAIC Volkswagen will close down.

Second, the localization of Santana parts must adhere to the standards of German Volkswagen, and absolutely no "substitution" is allowed.

To this end, the Shanghai Stock Exchange established a special "Santana Localization Office", organized 105 parts and components companies, 6 universities, and 7 research institutes across the country, and began to fully promote the localization of Santana.

The senior official said excitedly: "Automotive Parts Industrial Park? I wonder how big is Mr. Liu's gas parts company? What kind of products are mainly engaged in R&D and production?"

When the Shanghai market was worrying about the localization of Santana accessories, they did not expect that the Hong Kong real estate developer they thought of actually had the strength in this regard.

Liu Zhicheng said calmly: “This company used to be mainly engaged in the production of motorcycle parts, and the auto parts project has just been established.

However, since it is my wholly-owned company, there are no investment restrictions. The initial investment for establishing an auto parts factory in Shanghai is estimated to be over 100 million US dollars.

All the equipment will be imported from Germany and RB, and the level of precision will be the highest level allowed by Batumi.

Of course, this is mainly for the preparation of localization of Mack truck parts in the future. At the same time, we can also take orders for Santana.

In order to localize Santana, the mainland needs to use a lot of foreign exchange to introduce equipment and technology. If my parts project is settled in Shanghai, it can also save a lot of foreign exchange for the mainland, and both sides will achieve a win-win situation. "

"Thank you, Mr. Liu." said the senior official with a smile.

The negotiations between the mainland and Volkswagen were full of difficulties. I don’t know how many meetings were held and how much time was wasted on the issue of localization.

The Germans thought that the mainland factories would only be responsible for assembly, and all the parts would be purchased from Germany.

In this way, Volkswagen of Germany can make huge profits from the parts, but the mainland will need a large amount of foreign exchange to purchase the parts.

Although this approach is much cheaper than directly importing cars, the country's goal is to one day be able to produce its own cars rather than simply assembling them.

"It's nothing. As long as this project can be run as soon as possible, everyone can get what they need." Liu Zhicheng said with a smile.

Localizing parts and components can save the mainland's foreign exchange costs and promote the mainland's industrial level, which is actually extremely important.

As for the foreign exchange balance problem, it can be easily solved without mentioning the electronics factory, and Liu Zhicheng plans to keep the profits in the mainland and continue to expand the scale of investment in the mainland.

Liu Zhicheng did not want to leave just to make a profit. Moreover, as long as he waited until the 90s, when the mainland had sufficient foreign exchange, the "foreign exchange balance" policy would be gradually relaxed. By then, he would have been based in the mainland for more than 10 years and would have been ahead of others.

Liu Zhicheng inspected the Shanghai market for two days, visited the pedestrian street and the Huangpu Bridge, and also looked at a 300-acre industrial land in Pudong.

At that time, land in Shanghai was very cheap, and Liu Zhicheng planned to first enclose some land and build an auto parts industrial park.

He just got the land first. In fact, the auto parts industrial park of 300 acres is already very large.

The Longgang headquarters of Huawei in the future only covers an area of ​​more than 200 acres. If Liu Zhicheng had acquired 300 acres of land, he could have made an overall plan and built it in phases.

Officials from the Shanghai Stock Exchange are very excited about this project. First of all, it is an automotive parts industrial park.

Secondly, Liu Zhicheng’s wealth and status in Hong Kong will also require this kind of investment to be listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange.

Jiangyin.

Liu Zhicheng inspected the Shanghai Stock Exchange for two days and negotiated some investment intentions. Then, he contacted the foreign affairs department and decided to visit the Jiangyin Huajing factory.

Huajing is a large state-owned company. Not only does it have several thousand employees, it also has a microelectronics research institute with a staff of 500 people.

After several expansions, it has now grown into Huajing Microelectronics Group, with each of its projects costing tens of billions of yuan.

Santana stopped outside the gate of Huajing Central Research Institute.

The security guard at the door stood straight, and it was obvious at first glance that he was not the ordinary factory gatekeeper.

This microelectronics research center, which was originally built by 500 people from Yongchuan Semiconductor Research Institute, has nearly 800 people after several years of development, including more than 20 doctors and more than 200 masters.

The rest are almost all experienced researchers. In addition, with the cooperation with industry giants such as Huajing, it can be said that it is the strongest semiconductor research center in China.

The original intention of establishing the institute was to solve the problem of 2-3 micron large production lines. Therefore, the general direction of the institute is to thoroughly understand the introduced technologies and then participate in the construction of new production lines.

I have to say that this idea is correct.

However, the MOS production line has been under construction for a year, and Huajing’s own funds have been almost used up. The 908 above is said to be still under demonstration.

Fortunately, Huajing can still rely on its previous production lines to generate revenue and has not fallen into losses.

The chip design department is much smaller, with three teams of more than seventy people currently responsible for the design.

Moreover, the needs are mainly in the aerospace and military industries, and there is only a small team of a dozen people that is truly targeting the civilian market.

The one who received Liu Zhicheng today was their leader Zhou Boguang.

Like all researchers who focus on scientific research, Zhou Boguang is not good at interacting with people and gives people the temperament of a serious, old-school scholar.

"To be honest with you, Mr. Zhou, I have also invested in a chip factory and a chip research center. I came here today mainly to learn." Liu Zhicheng said modestly after visiting the Huajing factory.

"I'm very happy to have a patriotic businessman like Mr. Liu come to inspect." Zhou Boguang nodded.

"What chip design software do you use now?" Liu Zhicheng asked after the greetings.

“I used Panda CAD.” At the same level, what is the most important thing in the design of integrated circuits?
It's a tool.

CAD is just auxiliary design software, while EDA is intelligent software and a certified data analyst that focuses on big data collection, analysis, and processing.

Before the birth of EDA, chip design relied entirely on hand-drawn drawings.

Therefore, after the first 4004 appeared, China reproduced the MCS-48 based on hand-drawn drawings - Zhou Boguang was one of the participants.

At that time, everyone's design tools were the same: paper, pen, and ruler.

When various EDA software appeared later, Intel, which had the advantage of time, place and people, quickly took advantage of the speed and convenience of major EDAs to launch new instructions and design new products, while also completing the patent barriers of X86.

It can be said that tools are the primary productive force in the field of chip design.

Liu Zhicheng did not stay in Huajing Factory for long, after all, it was a confidential unit. Today, the group mainly learned about the current situation of the domestic chip industry.

Liu Zhicheng's final conclusion was that the mainland was about ten years behind and was at the same level as himself in Hong Kong.

In the 80s, dozens of semiconductor production lines were introduced into the mainland, but only a few of them were successfully put into production.

In addition, some high-end products can be imported into the country, which gives people the illusion that "it is better to buy than to make".

You know, when the domestic copycat Intel C8008 produced DJS-050, it was only five years behind.

The 908 Project, which was still in the demonstration stage, was to be officially approved in 92, but it came to a standstill for various reasons.

In the past, in 1992, Cadence, one of the three EDA giants, was about to enter the Chinese market and began to crush the domestic EDA software Panda ICCAD.

The memories were like fallen leaves covered in yellow sand. As his thoughts spread, they gradually became clearer and allowed Liu Zhicheng to sort out the context.

His eyes gradually brightened.

Crush PandaCAD?

It seems that only by designing an excellent EDA of its own can the mainland chip industry avoid detours.

A few days after leaving the Huajing Factory, Liu Zhicheng received news that the mainland agreed to build a joint venture for a truck factory.

At this time, Liu Zhicheng had already returned to Hong Kong and immediately instructed Niu Guang and the American Mac Truck to send people to the Shanghai Stock Exchange for negotiations.

After arranging his work, Liu Zhicheng decided to take a few days off and spend some time with the pregnant Yang Minli and Sun Lina.

……

At 11 o'clock in the evening, Liu Zhicheng was awakened by the ringing of his mobile phone, but he was not impatient.

Because not many people knew his phone number, if he called at this time, it must be something important, not to mention that Sun Lina might give birth at any time.

"Hello, don't disturb me. Where are you from? Wait for me for a moment, keep in touch!"

After hanging up the phone, Liu Zhicheng looked at Yang Minli who had regained consciousness and said, "A friend of mine is very depressed. I'm afraid she's having a hard time getting over it, so I'll go and give her some counseling."

Yang Minli nodded like a chicken pecking at rice and said gently, "Well, go ahead!"

"Then go back to sleep!"

Liu Zhicheng quickly put on his clothes and took a special look at Yang Minli before leaving. He found that she had fallen asleep again, and his heart suddenly relaxed.

Little did he know that as soon as he left, Yang Minli opened her eyes and muttered, "A new woman again?"

Finally he sighed, as if he had figured it out, and fell asleep peacefully again!
Liu Zhicheng personally drove a new Mercedes-Benz car, followed by a business car carrying four bodyguards on duty, and headed towards Kowloon.

Along the way, Liu Zhicheng hummed a little tune and seemed to be in a good mood. He didn't seem angry at all about being disturbed from sleeping.

"There seems to be a 'Thousand Stars Charity Concert' tonight to raise funds for the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals, right?"

Tung Wah Group of Hospitals is the oldest and largest charitable organization in Hong Kong, China, and is particularly strong in charitable work in hospitals and schools.

"Didn't Li Zhi escape the fate of history?"

This is very strange. Does the butterfly flapping its wings have no effect?

After driving to the Regent Hotel, Liu Zhicheng made a phone call and followed the instructions to go to the room booked by Li Zhi.

As soon as we met, Li Zhi burst into tears, I felt so sorry for him!
Liu Zhicheng closed the door, gently wiped Li Zhi's tears with both hands, and said gently: "Don't be anxious, talk slowly, and tell us all your grievances!"

Supporting Li Zhi, the two came to the sofa.

Liu Zhicheng took a quick look around the room. This was not a suite at the Regent Hotel, but just a single room of more than 300 square feet.

With the curtains not drawn, you can have a clear view of Victoria Harbour outside. This is the characteristic of the Regent Hotel - to see the most beautiful Victoria Harbour.

Li Zhi took out a napkin and gently wiped away his tears.

Liu Zhicheng said: "What happened?"

Li Zhi was a little emotional, and said excitedly: "Tonight I was invited to participate in the 'Thousand Stars Charity Concert'. When I was invited to the stage, Chow Yun-wah and Zeng Zhiwei threw cakes at me!
Although I know this is a joke or a prank, I am a girl and there are so many people watching me. Many people look at me like a clown."

Liu Zhicheng echoed, "That's really too much! How about this, I'll ask them to apologize to you!"

Li Zhi hesitated for a moment and said, "Thank you, Mr. Liu. No need. My brother has already agreed to reconcile."

This Zhang Guorong is a pretty good person!
Liu Zhicheng said: "If Zhang Guorong doesn't ask Zhou Runhua and the others to apologize, I will come forward again. It's always their fault. They took the joke too far!"

Li Zhi still felt wronged and continued to complain: "Why do so many people dislike me? They don't even know me? Is it because I'm not good at Cantonese?"

Can you just say this straight away?

First of all, 'Chanmei' is only one of the reasons. The most important one is Li Zhi's 'X-device B man', which will naturally make women jealous.

As for men, some people cannot get what they want, so they naturally despise, envy and hate it.

Seeing Liu Zhicheng silent, Li Zhi continued, "Does it mean that those who come from the mainland are inferior to them?"

Liu Zhicheng said gently: "That's not true. Don't overthink it. We are all Chinese."

Li Zhi felt much better after hearing this.

After a long while, Li Zhi said distressedly: "But, the directors in the entertainment industry all treat me as a vase, and give me roles that are very miserable, and they also deliberately let me expose myself."

There is no way around this. Everyone has been through that. Some female stars can only act in pornographic films just to become famous.

Do you really think the entertainment industry is a kind place?
