Chapter 176 The Enjoyment of Private Jets

When boarding the plane.

Linda Yun quietly reported the inquired information, saying to Su Yehao:

"I asked, and they said that the potential acquisition targets this time do not include Huashuo, but they plan to discuss the purchase of computer motherboards with them. This company is developing into the notebook computer industry. Two years ago, they launched a thick and heavy notebook computer with very few sales. But it is said that the quality is relatively good, and it has even been to the Mir space station. It started to make profits in the first year of entering the notebook market..."

Huashuo, as a company, was already listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange back in 1996, and a lot of information is open and transparent.

With Su Yehao's strength, inquiring about news is a piece of cake.

Starting from the end of 1996, after several years of accumulation, motherboard OEM orders from international first-tier manufacturers have been concentrated in the hands of Huashuo.

In a short period of time, the company's development pace was like a wild horse running free, with product sales all over the world, and it quickly became one of the world's largest motherboard manufacturers.

It has to be said.

The island's early plans to develop the semiconductor industry were ahead of the game, gradually forming a relatively complete industrial chain, relying on OEM to seize market share, and the limelight even gradually surpassed Japan.

Su Yehao's "Thousand Core City" plan is somewhat imitating the island's semiconductor industry model, but with the addition of the Internet, and backed by the larger mainland market.

Unfortunately, it is already 1999.

A batch of semiconductor companies that developed around the personal computer industry have divided up the market share. Su Yehao's side started a bit late and has missed the best period of development. If he wants to overtake on a curve, he will have to take many detours and the competition will be fierce.

Fortunately, there will be multiple opportunities to reshuffle the cards next.

The market demand for semiconductors will change, and the level of technological development will also change.

For example, the market share of microchips used in mobile terminals will inevitably exceed that of today's personal computer chips, so if you seize the opportunity, there may be a chance to turn things around.

After listening to Linda Yun's report, Su Yehao stroked his chin and said:

"The news that I want to enter the computer manufacturing field has been released long ago. It's not surprising that people know about it. In this case, that Marjorie may want to get a motherboard order from me? She looks like a senior professional manager. Getting a large order will give her a commission and a chance to move up the ranks, so it's not too strange."

In his opinion, there is no such thing as coincidence in the world, and many coincidences can be created artificially.

In fact.

Marjorie, the Greater China Market Director of Huashuo, did accidentally bump into Su Yehao at the airport before the "missed flight" scene occurred.

She gave the airport manager a tip of five thousand Hong Kong dollars, asking him to help ask if she could get a ride on a convenient flight, and there would be a reward of ten thousand Hong Kong dollars after the matter was completed. In Marjorie's view, it was a great deal to spend only fifteen thousand Hong Kong dollars for an opportunity to get close to Su Yehao.

The market department relies on news and attracting big customers to make a living. The news that Su Yehao "poached" the chief engineer from Liangxiang Group and was looking for parts suppliers everywhere had already spread in the circle.

Although Su Yehao did not have any experience in the personal computer manufacturing field before, smart people like Marjorie would never underestimate a super-rich man with a net worth of billions of dollars.

The so-called super-rich, personal wealth is only a concrete manifestation of part of their strength, and influence is also an important point that cannot be ignored.

If it were someone else who said they wanted to compete with the gradually developing Liangxiang Group, Marjorie might not care, but it is a different story when a super-rich like Su Yehao plans to enter the game.

She thought she was clever, thinking that maybe there were other Hong Kong capital or American Silicon Valley tycoons involved behind the scenes, and always felt that the order should not be small.

After carrying her Hermès handbag and getting into Su Yehao's private jet.

After looking around, Marjorie only felt that rich people really know how to enjoy themselves, and the various wines placed in the constant temperature wine cabinet alone looked very pleasing to the eye.

For example, a 1978 vintage dry white wine from the Romanée-Conti winery fixed in the wine cabinet, she had seen it in a magazine before and originally planned to buy it as a gift for a client. After calling to inquire about the price, she realized that it was actually worth about twenty thousand US dollars.

It doesn't sound expensive, but this is just wine, and it's gone after drinking it, definitely a consumable.

According to her estimation, the more than ten bottles of various wines in this wine cabinet are worth at least more than four hundred thousand US dollars, and each bottle is qualified to be sent to an auction.

When Marjorie took her seat, she felt that even if there were no gains today, it would not be a loss to just spend fifteen thousand Hong Kong dollars on such a private jet trip. The zero-gravity space chair was far more comfortable than the first-class cabin of a passenger plane.

...

The bodyguard sat next to Marjorie, keeping an eye on her.

After the plane took off, Jiang Yu and Linda Yun were invited by Su Yehao to sit at the dining table to play cards, playing *Dou Dizhu* (a Chinese card game).

It is only a little over an hour's flight from Hong Kong City to the island.

Marjorie thought that it would be a waste of a great opportunity not to take the opportunity to contact Su Yehao, so she went to the bathroom, and after coming out, she stared at the cards in Jiang Yu's hand and smiled: "Excuse me, what kind of cards are you playing?"

Jiang Yu told her: "Dou Dizhu, a mainland game. Where are you from? I just heard you speak Mandarin, and your Cantonese is also very good."

"I grew up in Taoyuan on the island. The plane will land near my home later. It seems that mainlanders like to play cards very much. When I went to negotiate business in the past, I was often asked to play mahjong."

Marjorie knew that Su Yehao was wary of her and had been asked if she really missed the flight before. At this moment, she pretended that nothing had happened, took the initiative to create a topic, looked at Su Yehao, and continued: "Last time I went to the mainland, I heard someone talk about it, saying that you, Young Master Su, poached the chief engineer of Liangxiang?"

"It wasn't me who poached him. He was uncomfortable there and took the initiative to find me. We hit it off and reached a cooperation." Su Yehao said calmly.

"So that's how it is."

Marjorie didn't beat around the bush anymore and continued: "Liangxiang has a cooperative relationship with our company. If you need anything, Young Master, you can also cooperate with our company. Now Dell and IBM's motherboards are also manufactured by our company."

Su Yehao raised his hand, signaling her to sit down and chat, and said: "Well, I know. I will definitely have a demand for motherboards and other parts, but I want to ask first, how was your company's notebook computer business last year?"

"...Very good. It has been sold to Japan, the United States, the mainland and other places. The marketing department is preparing to increase investment and expand sales channels."

As soon as Marjorie finished speaking, Su Yehao asked her again: "How long have you been working at Huashuo? Are you familiar with the semiconductor industry on the island? How much is your salary now?"

"???"

Forcing a smile, Marjorie was at a loss and asked: "Why are you asking about my salary?"

"It's nothing. I lack some guides around me. In the future, I should be dealing with companies on the island more often. Whether you approached me actively or by chance, it's all fate. Maybe I can poach you to help me. It just so happens that you work at Huashuo and know how to sell."

"But Young Master Su, we just met..."

"What does it matter if we just met? Huashuo made you the marketing director, which is equivalent to interviewing you for me. I heard that wages on the island are not too high. You can earn more working for me. You can consider it."

Su Yehao said while playing cards.

He temporarily had the idea of poaching someone, mainly because he felt that there were too few people under his command who understood the semiconductor industry on the island, and it was not as convenient as local people to handle things.

His career is in a period of expansion, and there is a shortage of manpower everywhere. It is not necessary to take poaching someone over to heart.

Marjorie always felt that Su Yehao's sudden offer of an olive branch seemed a bit like a child's play. With Linda Yun and Jiang Yu by his side, she would certainly not consider certain special aspects, such as liking older women.

After thinking about it, Marjorie whispered: "I earned about two million New Taiwan dollars last year. You don't want me to collect information for you and be some kind of commercial spy, do you?"

"...No, I really need your experience, but it has nothing to do with commercial espionage. Two million New Taiwan dollars, how much is that in Hong Kong dollars?"

After Su Yehao asked, Jiang Yu was the first to answer: "One Hong Kong dollar is equal to more than four New Taiwan dollars, which is... more than 400,000 Hong Kong dollars?"

"Oh, that's not much, a waste of talent. I'm considering opening a company on the island, and I'm very short of manpower now. If Ms. Marjorie, you can recruit some elites for me, the treatment is negotiable..."

Using a base salary of $100,000 as bait.

When boarding the plane, Marjorie was still thinking about how to get an order from Su Yehao. By the time she got off the plane, she had already agreed to resign and work for Su Yehao instead.

However, there is no rush to resign. Before resigning, she can also win a reasonable preferential purchase price for Su Yehao, ordering a batch of computer motherboards to be used next. It's not too late to really change jobs after getting the commission.

——————————

Before meeting Xiao Nizi (little girl), Su's father called first.

He said that Wu Weixiong's father begged him, crying so hard at his old age, saying that he didn't want his family to die out, etc.

In Su Yehao's view, it doesn't matter to spend some money to repay the favor. The real difficulty lies in the fact that after choosing to help, he will obviously break the rules.

He still remembered that there was news that a member of the Rockefeller family kept changing hearts to continue his life. Once the scandal came out, it smashed the Rockefeller family's century-old golden sign. Although it was later clarified that it was fake news, people do pay special attention to this kind of thing.

Rich people have already enjoyed a lot, and only "everyone will die" is fair.

Once it involves the inequality of medical resources, allowing a small number of people to have the opportunity to spend money to continue their lives, it is undoubtedly taboo. It is good if the news is kept secret, but if it cannot be kept secret, it will inevitably brew into a global heavyweight scandal.

Su Yehao is still young and does not want to spend the rest of his life with a scandal on his back.

If his reputation is ruined, the interests involved will be too great. Moreover, Yanwenzi Group is preparing for listing, which is a critical moment.

Therefore.

Su Yehao has always been unwilling to get involved too much. At this moment, he only suggested to his father that he should use money to pay off the favor and let the Wu family find their own way. This way, it has nothing to do with their family.

After clarifying the stakes.

Su's father also felt that it was best to give a sum of money directly and let his benefactor of the year find a way to do it in the United States himself. In fact, they hadn't been in contact for more than ten years. It was already benevolent and righteous to do this.

Wu Weixiong's father gave up his face and called Su's father to cry for the sake of his son.

And Su's father, why didn't he need to consider Su Yehao and try to avoid giving others a handle.

Giving money is to repay the favor of the year, but personally finding a way for others is breaking the rules, which is obviously two different things...
