Chapter 488: Fame Should Be Early

For Wu Yaoguo, there is certainly risk, but if the bet is successful, the return is even greater.

After all, he is not a person in the official career of the unit, first seeking stability and then planning for other things. The Hanxi State Investment managed by Wu Yaoguo is itself full of opportunities and risks. If every investment seeks stability, then Hanxi State Investment cannot develop at all, and can Wu Yaoguo have achievements?!

Investing in the Torch giant brought Wu Yaoguo huge benefits, not only the return obtained by Hanxi State Investment, but also the benefits in his official career.

Now Dongxin Semiconductor, Wu Yaoguo is preparing to fight again. If this bet is won, just by investing in the first domestic computer chip and achieving mass production, Wu Yaoguo's status in the State Investment system will rise to an astonishing level.

Not only State Investment, but in the future, economic-related departments and units such as State Assets and Commerce will open their doors to him. After all, his resume is there, and his status and right to speak in the world have appeared!

As for the risk, it certainly exists, but from Wu Yaoguo's perspective, the risk of Dongxin Semiconductor is actually already quite "controllable."

If Dongxin Semiconductor was established by someone else, Wu Yaoguo would not dare to wade into the muddy water at will, and it is not guaranteed that he would be pitted miserably.

But Dongxin Semiconductor comes from Dongling High-Tech. Wu Yaoguo knows Li Dongling's character. If he really pits people, he would never use so many routines. And with Li Dongling's record since his debut, Wu Yaoguo has more confidence in Dongxin Semiconductor than Li Dongling himself...

Li Dongling is not prepared to pit Wu Yaoguo or anything. It is purely that the chip production base costs too much. Li Dongling needs to find a few financiers to share the risk, and the chip production site is very dependent on the support of the local municipal government.

Like Shougang NEC, it relies on the support of the Yanjing Municipal Government. Back then, with the support of Japan's NEC, it introduced a full set of NEC production equipment and spent more than 500 million to build it.

Seven or eight years later, building a chip production plant now must cost more, and Dongxin Semiconductor currently has no support from other chip manufacturers and has to explore from scratch, and the trial-and-error cost is even greater.

Building a chip production plant by itself was proposed by Dongxin Semiconductor General Manager Wu Xinyi at the final meeting of Dongling High-Tech's high manager level last year, with the purpose of satisfying Dongxin Semiconductor's production capacity so that it would not be controlled by others in the future.

Now Dongxin Semiconductor mainly does design and R&D, and foundry is mainly handed over to Shougang NEC, but Shougang NEC also needs to prioritize the orders of its Japanese shareholder NEC before it can foundry for Dongxin Semiconductor, which makes Dongxin Semiconductor's chip production capacity always insufficient.

After the beginning of this year, Dongxin Semiconductor began to hand over part of the orders to Huajing, but Huajing's production capacity is also hard to say. To be honest, it is not as good as Shougang NEC.

Having no choice, Dongxin Semiconductor began to look for chip foundry factories outside the mainland and handed over part of the orders to TSMC.

However, handing over to chip foundry production factories outside the mainland always has risks. What if the other party is unwilling to foundry one day?

It may not happen now, but one day, if Dongxin Semiconductor really tears up with Intel, then Intel only needs one move to make Dongxin Semiconductor feel uncomfortable.

If Intel places orders of hundreds of millions or billions of dollars to TSMC, but requires that it is not allowed to foundry for Dongxin Semiconductor, how will TSMC choose?

Although this kind of thing hasn't happened, one can think with one's toes that no chip foundry factory dares to provoke a chip giant like Intel, even domestic chip foundry factories are the same.

For the future, not to be controlled by others in chip production, Li Dongling is preparing to build a self-use chip production plant for Dongxin Semiconductor.

Not to mention how large the production capacity of Dongxin Semiconductor's own chip plant is, at least there is a backup, which can hold up at critical moments, so that Dongxin Semiconductor will not be cut off from food and grass.

Dongling High-Tech, Feiyan Technology, and the newly acquired Huaki, as long as the products involve components such as chips and motherboards, are all placing orders to Dongxin Semiconductor. If it can't make them, the entire Dongling High-Tech will have to stop!

Dongxin Semiconductor is in the provincial capital of Hanxi. Pulling in Hanxi State Investment is equivalent to pulling Hanxi onto the chariot. As long as Dongxin Semiconductor shows its value, the provincial capital will protect Dongxin Semiconductor to the death.

Li Dongling is preparing to pull in a few more big financiers for Dongxin Semiconductor, letting Shanghai Urban Investment, Pengcheng Urban Investment, Gusu Urban Investment, etc., also invest in Dongxin Semiconductor. In the future, if production capacity is increased, Dongxin Semiconductor chip production bases can be established in Shanghai, Pengcheng, Gusu, and other places!

In this way, Dongxin Semiconductor can not only get financial support from these places but also pull these local municipal governments onto the chariot. Companies in their locations may also purchase Dongxin Semiconductor's chips in the future.

The motorcade composed of several cars drove away from Pingyang and headed to the Hanxi Provincial Capital Airport.

In one of the cars, Yang Zhi Gao was driving, and Li Dongling and Yao Luoying were sitting in the back.

There were also other executives from Dongling High-Tech and Feiyan Technology in technology, finance, legal, public relations, etc., sitting in other cars, plus the accompanying security personnel, making the scale of the team composed of Dongling High-Tech headquarters and Feiyan Technology for this trip to America not small.

The sunlight spilled onto Yao Luoying's cheeks through the car window. Even though the vehicle was a bit bumpy, Yao Luoying was still looking at the documents in her hand.

Li Dongling looked at Yao Luoying and felt that since the two or three months after the New Year, Yao Luoying was obviously thinner than before the New Year. Clearly, she had spent a lot of thought and energy for Feiyan Technology's listing.

Li Dongling brushed away a strand of hair that fell from Yao Luoying and gently stroked Yao Luoying's cheeks. "Don't worry too much. As long as this trip to America can make Himalaya Radio make some noise on the website in America, Feiyan Technology has a high probability of going public!

Even if it doesn't work this time, after a year or two, when the Internet wave completely rises, there will still be opportunities!"

Now the Internet can only be considered to have just emerged, and it hasn't reached the frenzy period. Once it really reaches the frenzy period, as long as the company has a website, the name has an e or i in front, and a com at the back, it can line up and wait to go public to circle money!

If one can make some big noise, hit the advertising loudly, and propose a new Internet concept, the stock price can soar in a straight line!

The so-called fame should be early. Although it is easy for Internet companies to go public later, the competition is also fierce, far less eye-catching than companies like Netscape, Yahoo, Cisco, Amazon, AOL, ebay, etc., that went public early.

To put it bluntly, there are too many Internet companies, and the leeks are dazzled and don't know which Internet company to send money to. After Netscape was killed by Microsoft, everyone's attention was still on the earliest listed Yahoo and AOL companies.

Li Dongling certainly hopes to let Feiyan Technology become one of the first batch of Internet companies to go public, such as Netscape, Yahoo, AOL, etc., so that when the wind blows, Feiyan Technology can soar into the sky and eat the fattest piece of meat!

Yao Luoying put down the documents in her hand and leaned her head on Li Dongling's shoulder, feeling that her slightly anxious heart became a bit more peaceful.

"There are too many people expecting Feiyan Technology now, and it's too high!"

Yao Luoying frowned slightly. "If it fails to go public this time, I'm afraid the hearts of Feiyan Technology will be scattered, and it won't be so easy to impact the listing next time!"

Yao Luoying knows that there are really too many people expecting Feiyan Technology to go public this time. Those who shared Feiyan Technology's equity at Dongling High-Tech headquarters, and the staff who received equity rewards within Feiyan Technology, including the Pingyang Municipal Government and the Hanxi Provincial Government, are all like this.

Yang Yang Shiqi is invisible and untouchable, but it is real. For the sake of listing, the staff within Feiyan Technology are all working hard now, especially the staff of the Himalaya Radio website, who are really sleeping on the floor in the office just to let the website go online on time!

If it fails to go public this time, it's not to say there is no chance at all, but that spirit is scattered, and I am afraid that morale will be exhausted after the second and third times. By then, the entire Feiyan Technology interior may have to suffer a turmoil.

Li Dongling rubbed Yao Luoying's hair. "Believe me, there will be no accidents on this trip. Feiyan Technology has the opportunity to board NASDAQ this year!"

Outside the New York Airport, Zhou Hualiang, General Manager of Dongling High-Tech America Company, had been waiting here early. Behind him was a motorcade composed of a row of high-end vehicles, as well as hired security personnel.

Zhou Hualiang looked at the airport exit direction from time to time, and then looked down at his watch. Although he was anxious, he could only wait here.

For the big boss who arrived today, Zhou Hualiang was both familiar and strange. Familiar because, even though he was in America, he had heard too many rumors about Li Dongling, and he had exchanged with Li Dongling in conference calls many times.

In the circle of Chinese students and Chinese Americans in America, the rumors about Li Dongling have not stopped in the past few years. Let alone in the country, if placed in America, Li Dongling's experience over the years is also a standard achiever of the American dream.

If Li Dongling was from America, he would be blown to the sky by local American TV stations such as ABC and Fox!

But Zhou Hualiang, after all, had never really met Li Dongling. Rumors are rumors, and Zhou Hualiang really couldn't guess what Li Dongling's temper was like.

Just when Zhou Hualiang's mind was wandering with various thoughts, the assistant beside him pulled Zhou Hualiang.

Zhou Hualiang looked up and saw a group of people coming out of the airport. One of them, protected by several bodyguards, was the person he had seen countless times in magazines. Zhou Hualiang hurriedly greeted him.

"Li Zong, I am very happy that you have come to America!"

Zhou Hualiang walked to Li Dongling and called out to Li Dongling in the Chinese he had practiced for a long time. ===== CHAPTER 489 =====
