Chapter 124 Finale and sharing of fruits!

The planned area of ​​Hsinchu Science Park is 21 square kilometers.

由新竹园区(653公顷)、竹南园区(123公顷)、龙潭园区(107公顷)、新竹生医园区(38公顷)、宜兰园区(71公顷)，及铜锣园区(350公顷)6个园区构成。

Before Fang Hexuan traveled through time, it had become the area with the most concentrated high-tech industries and think tanks in Wax Island, and was known as the Silicon Valley of Wax Island.

园区管理部门核准厂商数超过590家，已入园534家（集成电路180家、光电91家、电脑及周边58家、通讯46家、精密机械51家、生物技术102家、其他6家），

The park has more than 15 employees and paid-in capital of more than 1 trillion frog coins.

The output value of electronic products such as network cards, image scanners, terminals, computers, etc. accounts for more than 50% of the island.

The IC industry in Taiwan has a monopoly position and is also one of the world's largest electronic information manufacturing centers.

It covers the complete upstream, midstream and downstream industrial chain system including IC design, IC manufacturing, IC materials, IC packaging and debugging, and manufacturing equipment.
A number of electronics industry giants such as TSMC, UMC, and Acer Computer are located here.

The reason why Fang Hexuan attaches importance to it is that there will be both cooperation opportunities and multiple competitors in the future.

The opportunity, of course, refers to the fact that his automobile, semiconductor, computer and other industries can find manufacturers that can join the supply chain.

The competitors are self-evident. Those large companies will compete directly with him.

As for why we must look for supply chain partners in Hsinchu Industrial Park,
This requires us to face the reality.

Just like in later generations, why did the mainland always have a trade deficit with the Isle of Man and continue to buy from there?
In fact, their price-performance ratio has indeed been higher than that of the mainland for a long time.

In addition, the short distance and low shipping cost after purchase are also reasons.

After all, as the world's factory, the money earned over the long term is hard-earned, so of course we should save where we can.

Even though Fang Hexuan hates Wax Island, the development of the company definitely comes first.

As for whether Socks Island will be sold, those people are not stupid.

They prohibited the products of Fang Hexuan's company from entering, but they did not prohibit Fang Hexuan from purchasing from Wax Island.

Of course, he will not show any mercy when it comes to suppressing competitors such as TSMC and ACER.

In his plan, there may no longer be TSMC in this time and space, but the determination of Soshima to develop semiconductor manufacturing is certainly unstoppable.

Therefore, one of his plans is to go to the mainland to support the continued secret research and development of lithography machines and cultivate the local IC supply chain in a few years.

He has the determination and courage to do so, no matter how much money he spends, to at least ensure that China's semiconductor industry does not lag too far behind Europe and the United States.

He knew very well what IC chips meant. They were the most crucial core components in the digital information age and the subsequent AI era.

Fang Hexuan would never allow the fate of his company to be manipulated by white people like he did in the original time and space. Don't even think about it.

Even if he had to sell all his buildings in Hong Kong or sacrifice other companies, he was determined to develop the semiconductor industry.

However, passion alone is not enough, strategy is also needed.

It must be admitted that Americans' semiconductor technology strength is unrivaled in the world today.

Fang Hexuan must carry out his plan in secret, otherwise, it would be tragic if he was discovered in advance.

Just like the electric car industry, you can’t start too early. If you do, others will simply give up and start all over again.

······
Two days before Christmas, that is, December 12rd.

Fang Hexuan spent 9.5 million Hong Kong dollars at one time.
Acquired 24% of Hutchison Whampoa's shares from a major shareholder at a price of HK$9.8 per share.
This increased his control over Hutchison Whampoa's shares to 45%.

Huanggua did not let him down. He was already on the verge of success. He was ruthless and took his shares in Cheung Kong to HSBC to borrow several hundred million Hong Kong dollars.
This also increased the stake in Hutchison Whampoa from 17.66% to 22.1%.

The shares jointly acquired by Wanda and Cheung Kong exceeded 67%, reaching the standard of full control.

In order to obtain this 45% stake, Fang Hexuan invested more than 25 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Now is the time to wait for the harvest.

After the news came out, all Hong Kong media published the news on the front page of the same day.

On the second day, Hutchison Whampoa's current chairman and president, Weeley, announced his resignation from all positions. Fang Hexuan and Huanggua officially took over the control of Hutchison Whampoa.

According to what the two had agreed upon, in addition to the original management of the finance and human resources departments being asked to resign,

Other departments will remain unchanged for the time being and maintain the existing structure.

In the chairman's office.

Fang Hexuan sat elegantly in the boss chair that originally belonged to Wei Li, and stretched back comfortably.

Huanggua stood opposite the desk with a faint smile on his face, watching the young man in front of him pretending to be cool.

Fang Hexuan didn't really put on airs. He stood up from his chair, turned around, walked to the glass curtain wall, and looked out at the Victoria Harbour.

"Mr. Li, I've tried Hutchison's boss chair, and it's not much more comfortable than the one I have at Wanda."

"So, I'll leave this chair for you to sit on!"

".Mr. Fang is really willing to give this position to me?"

"It's time to stop guessing. Just follow our previous agreement. Give me what I want, and this group company will be named Li from now on."

“Haha, but I feel like I’ve lost out.”

"If you really want to calculate the market value, you did lose money, but you gained a giant British group."

"Okay, I'm just saying, I still feel a little reluctant to leave those buildings."

"Think positively. With Hutchison Whampoa, Cheung Kong will have more capital to buy other buildings. You may not lose anything in this round."

"hope so!"

"Oh, I forgot to tell you last time that there is an asset in Hutchison's investment business that I want."

"Oh? I'm quite curious."

"South China Morning Post!"

"Ha! I should have thought of that!"

"In fact, I had already decided to acquire this newspaper in July, and I negotiated with the Hong Kong government for a long time."

"You already have an Oriental Daily News, isn't that enough? Do you want to become a media tycoon?"

"Haha, Mr. Li, my business is bigger than yours, so I need more amulets than you do!"

".You can, but you have to pay for it. This newspaper is not included in the plan we discussed before."

"Pick! I knew you, Mr. Li, are as smart as a ghost!"

"I'm already very reluctant to give you so many buildings, and you still want to take advantage of me?"

"Okay, okay, just buy those shares at the market price."

"Haha, business is business, and everything should be done according to the rules. I know this better than you!"

"Then I wish you, Mr. Li, a bright future and good fortune!"

"Why doesn't it sound like a good thing?"

"Seriously!"

"Haha, thank you for your kind words!"
