In 19RU, the U.S. dollar was still very valuable. Currently, the company with the highest market value in the world is IH, which has a market value of less than 40 billion U.S. dollars. It is not even as large as Bill Gates¡¯ personal assets later that year. You must know that Microsoft became the world¡¯s number one company in 1999. At that time, the market value was as high as UUUU more than 100 million US dollars. If the scale of investment is compared to the civil servant level, it would be one billion US dollars in five years, an average of 200 million a year. In the 1st century, it could only be considered at the municipal level, and it was not a first-tier city like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, but in 19RU , but it is a big deal at the national level, while Taiwan is small and is only a provincial unit. Therefore, the standards of the people involved in the negotiations are very high. "Executive President" Sun Yunxuan is headed by Sun Yunxuan, assisted by Li Guoding, who unites the "Ministry of Economic Affairs" and "Ministry of Finance" The main leaders of the "Ministry of Science and Technology" and the Hsinchu Science and Technology Industrial Park Preparatory Committee have a strong and scary lineup. The meeting was held at the Grand Hotel, but it was not held in its iconic Chinese palace-style building. Instead, it was held in a relatively low-key building at the back. This was once the "Taipei Grand Hotel" founded and chaired by Soong Meiling. The event venue, Yuanshan Fellowship Club, is similar to the top private club of the 1st century. Its members include almost all high-ranking officials and dignitaries as well as ladies and ladies in Taiwan. Each member has a specific number. For example, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Chiang family, Xu Naijin, is 10008. The "Mayor of Taipei" Li is the HU04l number, and the "Information Director" is the HU050 number. However, after Chiang Kai-shek's death, Soong Meiling went to New York to live in seclusion, and the place was not as lively and noisy as before. "Dean Sun." "Mr. Shen, please." At eight o'clock in the morning, witnessed by the cameras and cameras of dozens of Chinese and foreign reporters, Shen Chong, who was wearing a T-shirt, and Sun Yunxuan, who was wearing a formal suit, shook hands with a smile, and then led their respective teams. After entering the venue, after a brief courtesy greeting, the closed-door discussion began. The negotiations covered a wide range of areas, ranging from factory location, transportation construction, water and electricity security and other infrastructure to tax incentives, export subsidies, talent training and other supporting policies. , there is one more dazzling political achievement, and for the investment team, every time a preferential condition is obtained, there is another high bonus. Shen Chong sat in the middle of his room, holding a pencil. He was either in a daze or immersed in writing and drawing in his notebook. No matter how fierce the noise was, he rarely spoke, but once he spoke, he would use "gold" unreasonably. Hit people with a sledgehammer. "If I can get Apple to put part of its production capacity in Taiwan, can this clause be accommodating?" He owns more than 30% of Apple's shares and has already surpassed Steve Jobs to become the largest shareholder. Apple is an iconic company in Silicon Valley's technological innovation. , and IPO is around the corner, its influence and strength have grown by leaps and bounds, and it is highly sought after by the media and the industry. It is considered to be the next IH. If some production lines can be introduced to Taiwan, there will be many benefits. As soon as this statement came out, the insistence of the Taiwanese personnel was immediately defeated "What if, in addition to US$1 billion, I set up an entrepreneurial fund of no less than US$500,000 to invest and support local high-tech companies in Taiwan as compensation?" Taiwan backed down again "Golden Sledgehammer" is coming No trace, no trace, sometimes it is a key clause that military strategists must fight for, sometimes it is an insignificant detail, without any logic, it is simply treating the negotiation as a house, leaving Sun Yunxuan, Li Guoding and others scratching their heads. , after going back and forth several times, those people in Taiwan decided to fight hard no matter what the terms were, but unfortunately, they realized it was a bit late. Before they could fight for a few minutes, Shen Chong closed his notebook and suggested: " Dean Sun, it's already eleven o'clock. Let's just stop here in the morning. Let's rest first and continue in the afternoon. " Shen Chong is a guest and he doesn't want to talk anymore. Sun Yunxuan couldn't insist. He nodded in agreement and waved his hand. He signaled his subordinates to pack up the documents, then leaned back softly on the chair to rest, crossed his hands and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Shen, you don't follow common sense, which makes it difficult for us to do things." Sun Yunxuan once studied in the United States, and Li Guoding is a top student at Cambridge. , most of the other officials attending the meeting have overseas study backgrounds, and Shen Chong's side is basically all foreigners, so the negotiations just now were all in English. Now that they are talking in Chinese, it is obvious that they are close to Shen Chongtou and have a good conversation. "I am an impatient person and have no negotiation skills. Before coming to Taipei, TRIn repeatedly advised me not to speak during negotiations." Shen Chong pointed to the tall and thin American sitting next to him and laughed at himself: "I I have endured it again and again, but I still can't hold it back, and I have been ripped off a lot by you." He made a zipper sealing motion on his lips, and then apologized in English: "TrIn, I'm sorry, I won't be here this afternoon. I can talk again." This person, named TrInHkt, graduated from Stanford University with an NHA degree. He was originally a sales manager at Apple. In May, he was accidentally seen by Shen Chong's "eyes", so he hired Activision. Game serves as CPO because in memory, this guy left Apple in 19 and founded a video game company. This company later became Activision¡¯s biggest competitor and one of the largest video game companies in the world. The English name is PItrArt and the Chinese name is Electronic Arts The investment direction in Singapore is chip design.and research and development, and the direction of investment in Taiwan is hardware manufacturing and OEM. As Activision¡¯s CPOTrIn-HkI¡¯s opinion is very important, so he flew to Taiwan specially to participate in the negotiations. Regarding Shen Chong¡¯s apology, he just shrugged and said He gave a helpless expression that is common among Americans, but said nothing. Firstly, this is an established negotiation strategy, which has been communicated in advance. Secondly, Shen Chong is the founder of Activision, owns shares in RU, and is the director of "Russia" The creative designer of blockbusters, "Bubble Bobble", "Pac-Man" and other super hit games, has a high reputation in the company. Although he usually lives in Hong Kong and is not very involved in the daily management of the company, he has a strong sense of strategic planning. Due to Yan Jiuding's authority, he, the CPO, had no leading role in the negotiations. Besides, if you just build a game console, you won¡¯t need 1 billion US dollars at all. This negotiation is more like discussing a comprehensive investment plan for the electronics industry "Dean Sun, Mr. Li." When walking out of the conference room, Shen Chong tugged at his black T-shirt and apologized to Sun Yunxuan and Li Guoding: "I dress like this not to disrespect you, but I just want to express a corporate philosophy. High technology is a new thing and must be vigorous. It¡¯s good to be eclectic, but if you are too rigid and bound by traditional rules, it will be detrimental to innovation. ¡°Mr. Shen originally had other intentions. I thought he couldn¡¯t stand the high temperature in Taiwan,¡± Li Guoding waved his hand and said jokingly. : "Don't mention wearing a T-shirt, even if you come shirtless, we will treat Mr. Shen as a guest of honor." "It would be better if Mr. Shen could speak more often." In the midst of appropriate laughter , Shen Chong declined Sun Yunxuan's polite invitation and took his troops to the restaurant that had been reserved. In the 1950s, Taipei's architectural facilities were outdated and there was no five-star hotel. Chiang Kai-shek felt that it was inconvenient to receive foreign guests, especially foreign dignitaries, so he began to build the Yuanshan Hotel designed by the famous architect Yang Zhuocheng in 1919, and continued to build it intermittently. It took many years and was not fully completed until 1973. The Grand Hotel not only adopts the Chinese style in appearance, but also has a traditional Chinese style inside, with colorful painted beams, hanging palace lanterns, red-coated pillars, mahogany chairs, bonsai stones, calligraphy and painting antiques everywhere, antique and elegant, and the entire hotel is full of charm. , from the doors, windows, beams and columns to the murals and ceilings, vivid flying dragon patterns can be seen everywhere, so they were nicknamed the "Dragon Palace" by the media. The place where Shen Chong and the others had lunch was in the Golden Dragon Hall, the most famous restaurant of the Grand Hotel, where there used to be It was the place where Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Meiling entertained guests, and could entertain thirty people at the same time. The operating unit of the Grand Hotel is the Taiwan Dunmu Association, which is a consortium established with private donations. However, it is actually under the jurisdiction of the "Ministry of Transportation". All donors are important party and government officials in Taiwan. Because of their special relationship with the government, For a long time, this was an international reception venue for the Taiwanese authorities. It was difficult for ordinary people to stay here. When Shen Chong came to Taipei for the first time, he relied on Zhang Aijia's help to get in. "I think there is room to further reduce our opponents in terms of taxation and financing costs" "If we are required to provide senior employee training, Taiwan should provide tax rebates or financial subsidies" "TrIn, according to this plan How much can the cost of producing Ga- in Taiwan be reduced? "In order to create a good environment for the talks, reporters were not allowed to enter after the formality in front of the media in the morning. The hotel was very quiet, and Shen Chong and his party were not harassed in any way. During the discussion and communication, we finished our lunch safely. The afternoon negotiations started at three o'clock. After lunch, the others went back to their rooms to rest, but Shen Chong left the Grand Mountain Hotel and went straight to the Jiajia Performing Arts Center - he was not in a hurry to have an affair, but There are other business matters.
