The French Thomson company is indeed a yellow croaker, because objectively, the semiconductor war between Japan and the United States has impacted all other semiconductor companies outside the semiconductor industry, and Thomson company can't be alone.

It wants to acquire MOSTEC and ease the business problems it faces by means of limited expansion. It more or less means speculation. When it encounters strong competition, it gives up without hesitation.

Later, the dynamics of Thomson explained its logic. Instead of wasting resources on MOSTEC, a joint technology company's sale, it was better to hold a group together with Italy's peer microelectronics general semiconductor company for heating. Then, Italy France semiconductor company came into being.

It can be said that this period is another important reshuffle period for the global semiconductor industry. For example, TSMC, which will become famous in the "old script", has begun to brewing.

The Xiangjiang exchange fund authority under Gao Xian's leadership has such a rich surplus. Of course, it must constantly look for investment opportunities. Sometimes, the official coordination of all parties can achieve the best effect. The rise of the Asian semiconductor industry is a best example.

The first book and other member economies of the "four little dragons of Asia" have such a layout. Of course, the Xiangjiang development investment fund under the Xiangjiang exchange fund administration will also take action. It is working with Huanyu electronics to establish Xiangjiang semiconductor company.

Gao Xian picked up "junk" in the United States to lay the foundation for Xiangjiang semiconductor company. Although the operation of Intel semiconductor memory business and MOSTEC has declined, it is enough to transfer to Xiangjiang compared with a peer's backward technology.

The specific operation still needs skills. As the saying goes, people want clothes and Buddha wants gold.

At the initial stage of the development of the semiconductor industry, technology was introduced from the semiconductor industry in the United States, and technology was introduced from the semiconductor industry in the United States in the initial stage of the development of the semiconductor industry in Korea. At the initial stage of the development of the semiconductor industry in Lianbao Island, the technology sources introduced were also world-famous companies such as RCA and Philips.

The psychological function in this is naturally reasonable. At least it can form enough authority to eliminate the noise of strange words in the specific implementation process.

The starting resources introduced by Gaoxian for Xiangjiang semiconductor include Intel semiconductor memory department and MOSTEC. However, in terms of global popularity, we have to admit that it is still lacking.

As a result, when Gao Xian picked up the "junk" of the American semiconductor industry, his eyes gradually fell on the larger broken settlement - Xiantong semiconductor company.

The role of Fairchild Semiconductor in the history of semiconductor development is often described in beautiful words. It occupies an important position in the history of Silicon Valley and can be called the cradle of Silicon Valley. It has transported a large number of talents for Silicon Valley technology companies, including the founding of Intel and ultramicro, as well as ZTE of national semiconductor company, Are inextricably linked with Fairchild Semiconductor.

But the fact behind this is ridiculous. Is Fairchild Semiconductor really so selfless? In fact, it can't keep talents at all!

The root of the decline of Fairchild Semiconductor Company is that the "eight rebels" led by Robert Noyce left Shockley Semiconductor Laboratory and founded Fairchild Semiconductor Company with the support of capital.

Specifically, although Fairchild Semiconductor, located in Silicon Valley on the west coast of the United States, contributes two-thirds of the sales revenue of the whole group, it is greatly restricted by the parent company in New York on the east coast of the United States.

Fairchild Semiconductor has made so much money that it has been taken away by its parent company to do something else. However, the needs of the technical elites of Fairchild Semiconductor in terms of equity subscription have been seriously ignored.

Everyone worked so hard to figure out what to do. If they didn't get satisfactory treatment, they naturally saved up day by day. The first big man to run away was Charles Spock, the operation manager. He went to the national semiconductor company as the boss with a group of confidants.

At the end of the 1960s, as competition in the semiconductor industry intensified and new and old technologies began to iterate, Xiantong semiconductor's profits plunged, further intensifying internal contradictions.

First of all, John cutley, the CEO of the parent company, was held accountable by the board of directors. The old man was quite straightforward and resigned directly.

Originally, Robert Noyce's credit and qualifications were naturally enough to take over as the CEO of the parent company, but the board chose Richard Hodgson.

Robert Noyce took Gordon Moore away to start Intel.

The vacancy left by Robert Noyce is so important that someone must take it. As a result, the board of directors of Fairchild photographic equipment, the parent company of Fairchild Semiconductor, made a big move and dug up Lester Hogan, head of Motorola's semiconductor department.

This can poke a hornet's nest, because Lester Hogan not only went to Fairchild Semiconductor, but also took away a large number of his men. Motorola was not anxious and immediately started a lawsuit. Although it didn't win in the end, Fairchild Semiconductor reduced Lester Hogan to vice president in order to compromise.

In this process, Lester Hogan brought a lot of confidants, which inevitably squeezed out some old employees of Fairchild Semiconductor; Later, Lester Hogan was thrown into the cold palace, so that the morale of his confidants fell sharply and sought a way out. How can the resulting brain drain not be serious!

In the following 1970s, Fairchild Semiconductor Company operated like a headless fly, and even launched home video game console products. It was declining day by day. Finally, in 1979, with the parent company Fairchild photographic equipment company, it was acquired by Schlumberger, an oil field service company.

The reason why we check the decline of Xiantong semiconductor company is mainly to illustrate that technology is important, but not absolute. If we put it on Xiangjiang semiconductor company, we can achieve good results as long as we organically integrate all aspects.

Gao Xian's focus on the power of Xiantong semiconductor company is also very simple. The value of Xiantong semiconductor company is at a low point. In contrast, the years of accumulation of technology, patents and products are worth it. It is especially suitable for the situation that Xiangjiang semiconductor industry should start from the foundation. In terms of brand popularity, Xiantong semiconductor company can still support the scene.

After several rounds of contact with Schlumberger, William Miller brought back the news that Schlumberger had indeed made up his mind to sell Fairchild Semiconductor. The key problem was the game between the residual value of Fairchild Semiconductor and the corresponding quotation.

At the beginning, Schlumberger's acquisition of Xiantong photographic equipment company was driven by Xiantong photographic equipment company's advanced imaging technology and products, which were of great value to Schlumberger's oilfield service business. Xiantong semiconductor company was equivalent to taking over.

Strictly speaking, Fairchild Semiconductor has not made no contribution to Schlumberger. It established an artificial intelligence research laboratory in 1980, which is very popular with Schlumberger.

William Miller said, "this artificial intelligence research laboratory was independent not long ago and is obviously not on the sales list."

Gao Xian nodded indifferently. He is also using his own resources to engage in artificial intelligence research without revealing the mountains and dew, so that "small clothes" can have more room. He really despises what Schlumberger regards as a baby, even the artificial intelligence that IBM is engaged in. After all, the gap between starting points can not be described too much.

William Miller continued: "Schlumberger is very smart. It also lists the testing department of Fairchild Semiconductor, which designs and produces automated testing equipment for the semiconductor manufacturing industry. It is in good business."

Gao Xian was amused, "what is the valuation of the assets of Fairchild Semiconductor?"

"About $200 million, Schlumberger basically has no objection," William Miller replied. "I just received the news that national semiconductor has also shown interest in acquiring Fairchild Semiconductor."

The broken ship still has 3000 nails, and Gao Xian has no objection. He clapped his hands and said: "then take Xiantong semiconductor company as soon as possible, and then integrate resources with Intel semiconductor memory business and MOSTEC. Take a stake in Xiangjiang semiconductor company in the name of Xiantong semiconductor company. With its cost advantage, Xiantong semiconductor company can at least come back to life."

Sir Gao's words of "bringing the dead back to life" are quite learned, which is the secret of his unimpeded collection of "junk" in the American semiconductor industry and his gratitude.

In the process of acquiring Fairchild Semiconductor, the National Semiconductor Company under the leadership of Charles Spock did not constitute a substantive obstacle because it had no confidence to compete for financial resources.

When Charles Spock left Fairchild Semiconductor as CEO of national semiconductor, national semiconductor was in financial difficulties.

Charles Spock's response strategy is to focus on the mass production of low-cost computer chips, so as to lead the national semiconductor company through the difficulties and create a remarkable ZTE period for the company's operation.

However, in the face of a more competitive chip from its peers, although the national semiconductor company has not been impacted as miserably as Intel and MOSTEC, the pressure is also real. It does not dare to consume valuable funds exceeding the budget in the acquisition of Fairchild Semiconductor Company.

When the $50 million Intel semiconductor memory department, the $80 million MOSTEC, and the $200 million Fairchild Semiconductor Company are kneaded together by the high string, the technical foundation for the establishment of Xiangjiang semiconductor company is built. The next focus can be shifted to those around Xiangjiang semiconductor company, such as capital contribution ratio, benefit distribution, team configuration Incentive programs, etc.
