Hong Kong Movies: You Hongxingzi, what the hell is the charity king?

Chapter 845 "843" Chronicle of Zhanbo - The End: Recruiting talent from TSMC in Taiwan, Soros arrives in Hong Kong...

P.S.: The plot of Zhanbo's story is finished. It's nearly 2000 words long.

…………

Xu Zhengyang continued: "A man asked her out, but by evening, he left on his own, leaving the woman there alone!"

"Tell me, isn't this man a scumbag? It was freezing cold, and the wind was so strong at the beach. He lured that girl out on a date, then ran off without even saying goodbye! The girl even went into the sea to look for him, thinking he'd been swept away by the waves. She got her dress all wet, and in the freezing weather, she waited there for that scumbag for hours until she finally developed a fever and collapsed. If Xiao Nan hadn't found her, she probably might have been in mortal danger..."

"That girl didn't look like she came from an ordinary family; she must be a young lady from a wealthy family. She probably had never suffered such injustice before. When she woke up in the hospital, she cried so miserably."

Xu Zhengyang shook his head and sighed.

Upon hearing this, the others began to curse.

"That's such a scumbag!"

"If I find out who that guy is, I'll beat him to death!"

……

At night,

When Ah Xing got home, he told Fang Min about it.

Fang Min was both shocked and furious: "This scumbag is absolutely inhuman!"

Soon, Fang Min told Dehua... uh, no, Sister Ling, who was taking care of her child, about it.

Sister Ling was changing Fang Min's baby's diaper with practiced ease. After hearing Fang Min's account, she was just as angry.

Fang Fang then returned and repeated the story, also speaking out in defense of the woman.

Bang! At that moment, Fang Zhanbo opened the door and returned.

"Brother~~"

"Brother's back, dinner's ready..."

Sister Ling has to take care of her child, so she hired a nanny to cook.

The family sat around the dining table, and ATV news was playing.

Ring ring ring~~~
Fang Zhanbo's phone rang.

Fang Zhanbo hung up immediately.

Sister Ling asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Why aren't you answering?"

Fang Zhanbo said coldly, "It's nothing, just an unimportant call."

The family started eating, and Fang Min couldn't help but complain to Fang Zhanbo about that scumbag.

"Brother, you don't know, last night..."

"That woman was afraid that scumbag would be swept away by the sea, so she went into the sea to look for him..."

"Yeah, he's such a scumbag!"

Bang~~~
Fang Zhanbo suddenly stood up, his face changing color: "Which hospital is she in?"

Fang Min: "At Mingxin Hospital, what happened?"

Fang Zhanbo had already grabbed his phone and ran out quickly.

The Fang family members looked at each other.

"????"

……

30 minutes later,
Fang Zhanbo rushed to Mingxin Hospital and, after searching for a while, finally found Long Jiwen's ward.

Before I even went inside, I could hear people crying and cursing.

"You damned Fang Zhanbo... You won't answer the phone, you wouldn't even care if I died..."

"You're such a jerk!"

"Fang Zhanbo, you're so mean!"

Fang Zhanbo pushed open the door and forced a smile: "Hi~~~~"

Long Jiwen: "???"

Upon seeing Fang Zhanbo, she was instantly enraged and started throwing things at him.

"Hey hey hey~~~~"

"Ow~~~"

Fang Zhanbo tried to dodge and weave, but couldn't easily run away.

"Don't throw it away, don't throw it away..."

"You bastard, why did you suddenly disappear? Do you know I thought you were swept away by the waves... And why didn't you answer your phone? You piece of trash..."

"I thought your phone was dead, that you were just going to buy something and would be right back. I waited there for hours! It was so cold, so dark, and there wasn't a soul around. Do you know how scared I was...?"

"Woooooo~~~"

Long Jiwen cursed and cried at the same time.

Fang Zhanbo fell silent.

Long Jiwen cried for a long time, and when he saw Fang Zhanbo standing a few meters away, he cried even more: "Am I really that annoying?"

Fang Zhanbo remained silent.

Long Jiwen cried and covered himself with the blanket, hiding under the covers and sobbing.

Fang Zhanbo was speechless. He walked over and said, "Hey, are you trying to suffocate? Don't do that!"

Long Jiwen wouldn't listen.

He ran to the bed again: "The body needs to breathe, so if the head isn't up, then the feet should be up..."

Then he lifted the blanket covering Long Jiwen's feet, revealing them.

Long Jiwen pulled his foot back.
Fang Zhanbo pulled it out.

One contraction, one pull; one contraction, one pull...

Playing with feet achievement +1 +1 +1...

Long Jiwen finally couldn't hold back anymore. He sat up angrily and yelled at Fang Zhanbo while crying, "Don't mess with my feet! You're so annoying!"

She cried, cursed, and punched him with her little fists all at the same time.

After a few more blows, Long Jiwen hugged Fang Zhanbo and cried.

"I have no friends, I have no home..."

“I have many relatives, a father, and more than twenty brothers and sisters, but they all don’t want me…”

"Why? Why am I like an orphan, not knowing what to do, not knowing where to go..."

"I want to go home so badly, I want to go back to my dad's side..."

"I hate my dad so much. It's not me who's after his money, it's my older brothers and sisters. Why did they kick me out?"

"I hate him so much!"

Seeing Long Jiwen crying so pitifully, Fang Zhanbo's resentment towards her completely dissipated. His enemy was Long Chengbang, not Long Jiwen, so how could he blame her?

……

……

"what?"

"That scumbag is Zhanbo?"

The next day, at Central Plaza, Ah Sing told Kwan Cho the news.

Ah Xing: "Yeah, I didn't quite believe it yesterday, but Zhanbo didn't come back last night, so I think it's pretty much true."

Guan Zu made a call to Mingxin Hospital and checked. Sure enough, Fang Zhanbo had spent the night at the hospital.

"What's the patient's name?"

"Reporting to the boss, the patient's name is Long Jiwen."

Guan Zu: "…………"

Okay, got it.

However, Lung Kei-man does have a good personality. In "The Greed of Man," she loved Fong Chin-bo to the extreme. To save Fong Chin-bo, she knelt before her father, Lung Shing-pong, and swore a solemn oath to sever all ties with him.
(picture)

When Guan Zu watched this part, he also felt a sense of unease.

If Fang Zhanbo and Long Jiwen could really get together, that would be a good thing.

At this moment,
Wu Lianqian walked in.

"Brother Zu, over in Taiwan, the New Taiwan Dollar has fallen from 28.5 to 36.5, and the stock market has also dropped by 31%..."

"Many companies have gone bankrupt and laid off employees..." "And as you instructed, Brother Zu, to send someone to find out about the situation at TSMC, the situation at TSMC is not very good right now either."

Why does Guan Zu value TSMC so much?

Because TSMC was indeed incredibly powerful in later generations.

What Guan Zu wanted to do was to take advantage of TSMC's collapse during the financial crisis to poach talent.

In 1985, when TSMC was founded, the technological blockade and patent barriers imposed by IDM (vertically integrated manufacturing) companies such as Intel and IBM forced TSMC to start from scratch.

Subsequently, it continued to develop and build its own semiconductor manufacturing technology platform, overcoming a series of challenges, such as improving wafer yield, reducing defect density, and developing more refined process nodes.

In the following years, TSMC continued to expand in the semiconductor foundry market through continuous investment in research and development.

In 1993, TSMC built Taiwan's first 8-inch chip factory.

Judging from its experience,

It's definitely a company that invests heavily in research, so there must be a lot of technical personnel.

Guan Zu was naturally very envious of these experienced semiconductor technicians who had started from scratch.

Five Star Electronics is facing a severe shortage of talent, and there is simply not enough talent in Hong Kong Island!

The current economic crisis in Taiwan presents a good opportunity to poach talent.

……

the next day,
Gao Jin and Abu, along with a team of over 30 people, boarded a plane and flew directly to Taiwan.

11 o'clock in the morning,
Taipei Airport.

Lei Gong, the Taiwanese underworld godfather, legislator, and leader of the Sanlian Gang, was waiting outside the airport with his woman, Ding Yao.

"Mr. Gao, welcome to Taiwan~~"

"Mr. Lei, it's been a long time..."

A warm handshake.

Ding Yao, who was standing next to Gao Jin, glanced at him and her eyes lit up.

He's imposing and cool, hundreds of times better than his bedmate, Lei Gong!
"Mr. Gao, please~~"

Lei Gong invited Gao Jin into the carriage.

Last time, Lei Gong went to Hong Kong Island to show off, but he failed to do so in front of Guan Zu and got beaten up instead, losing face.

As the Five Star Group grew stronger, Lei Gong began to change his approach.

Someone like Guan Zu is definitely someone you can be friends with.

Last month, during the Taiwanese financial crisis, Kuan Tsu personally called him, asking him, a legislator, to help investigate TSMC. He also gave him NT$1000 million and an additional NT$3 incentive for each technician he recruited.

This money is free!
Of course, more importantly, it can resolve the feud with the Five Star Group and allow them to cooperate in the future.

So he began to mobilize people to investigate, get the list, and investigate the family background and personality of the employees on the list.

And now, it's harvest time.

“Mr. Gao, this time we screened more than 300 technical employees from TSMC. Taiwan’s economic conditions are not good right now. If Five Star Group can offer them good enough conditions, they will definitely not refuse.”

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Lei."

They soon arrived at Lei Gong's villa.

Just right,

A Mercedes drove up.

A big D... uh, Zhou Chaoxian got off the bus.

Like Lei Gong, he also comes from a triad background. This year, he is preparing to run for legislator and wants to get the support of Lei Gong, who is also a legislator.

Why run for legislator?

Because there's an unspoken rule in Taiwan: as long as you win the election for a legislator position, your past illegal or criminal acts will be forgiven.

Zhou Chaoxian also wanted to improve!
"Zhou Chaoxian, what are you doing here?"

"Mr. Lei, I apologize for the intrusion in visiting today..."

Gao Jin glanced at Zhou Chaoxian.

Lei Gong introduced, "Mr. Gao, this is Mr. Zhou Chaoxian..." and then gave some background information.

Then he introduced Zhou Chaoxian: "This is Mr. Gao Jin, Vice President of Five Star Group, who is from Hong Kong Island."

……

In the next period of time,
Kao Chin kept contacting TSMC's technical staff in Taiwan, offering them generous benefits, and even contacting their families, saying he could help them find jobs in Hong Kong.

Taiwan's economy is currently in a poor state, and TSMC is no exception, facing a shortage of funds.

Many technical personnel are tempted by the promise of high salaries and job opportunities for their families.

……

TSMC headquarters, president's office.

The afternoon sunlight was filtered through the blinds, casting beams of light onto the financial statements in front of Mr. Zhang.

Mr. Zhang frowned.

The 1997 financial crisis had a significant impact, causing TSMC to face severe cash flow problems.

The R&D budget was cut by 40%, and employee salaries were frozen.

He himself is ambitious, having built a wafer fab in the middle of this year, and cannot stop, so he needs to divert TSMC's working capital.

Ring ring ring~~~~
The intercom on the corner of the table suddenly rang.

"President, Dr. Lin from the R&D department has submitted his resignation."

"why?"

"It was the same Five Star Group that came to poach him, offering him a very high salary."

Mr. Zhang: "…………"

"Bang!"

"It's the Five Star Group again!"

Gritting my teeth!

This week, dozens of employees were poached by the Five Star Group, which not only offered them double their salary but also promised to solve their family members' employment problems.

He knew that the Five Star Group had made a lot of money in US dollars from all over the world by virtue of its copyrights, and recently it had also launched DVDs, reaping another wave of profits.

There's also the Five Star mobile phone. Although its production volume hasn't increased, it's very famous abroad and is considered to be of world-class quality.

This is one of the reasons why it is so easy for Five Star Group to poach talent.

Then, if you can arrange jobs for family members, that's an absolute game-changer.

"hateful!"

Boss Zhang slammed his fist on the table.

On the one hand, he also knew that the company was facing difficulties.

On the other hand, he hopes that employees can stand by the company through the difficulties.

"It can't go on like this."

He picked up the internal phone and said, "Notify all core technical personnel to come to the conference room at 3 p.m. and tell them I have something to say."

Three points,

The meeting begins.

Mr. Zhang began to speak: "I know the company is having a tough time right now. Salaries are frozen, bonuses are delayed, and even the new equipment for the lab is still not in place..."

"How did TSMC grow from a fledgling company to what it is today?"

"It's about everyone working together..."

Because they were genuinely short of funds, the entire meeting consisted of nothing but sentimentality, ideals, and grand promises...

……

12 month 5 day,
Gao Jin led his team back to Hong Kong Island.

The trip was a great success, as a total of 234 technical talents were recruited, all of whom are experienced professionals.

On the same day,
A large number of foreigners came to Hong Kong Island.

The annual meetings of the IMF and World Bank will be held tomorrow at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre on Hong Kong Island.

Ten minutes after Gao Jin arrived at Kai Tak Airport, a plane from New York landed at Kai Tak Airport.

Soros is here!
