Chapter 486 Short Selling! The Replacement of the Third Generation!
"Start shorting!"
As Huang Tianya began to take action, Sansang's previously rising stock price plummeted by half.
Lee Kun-hee's side started emergency market intervention, but it had little effect.
After the market closed in the afternoon, the team finished their calculations, and the assistant came in to report:
"Mr. Huang, all positions have been closed out."
After deducting costs and leverage expenses, the short selling strategy yielded a profit of $20.47 billion, and all funds have been recovered.
"understood."
Huang Tianya nodded, and then grinned after everyone left.
We won't use this money to buy mines; we'll use it to build new factories.
The third phase of the wafer fab is equipped with all domestically produced equipment, starting with 14nm, and is also undergoing comprehensive testing of domestically produced immersion lithography machines!

Kimchi Country, Chairman Samsang's Residence.
Looking at the financial report and stock price chart in his hand, Li Jianxi felt a tightness in his chest.
He originally wanted to try again with the support of the United States, since he had indeed failed quickly last time, but that was because he didn't have American support...
But this time... I didn't expect to fail so quickly again.
He stood up with his cane, and suddenly his vision went black. He staggered one step.
Lee Jae-young, who was standing next to him, rushed forward to support him and frantically told someone to call the family doctor, but no one at the scene moved!
"No need!" Li Jianxi waved his hand, then glanced at his son beside him. "You deliberately submitted this report, didn't you?"
Lee Jae-young just smiled and didn't say anything more!
Lee Geon-hee sighed deeply, immediately understood, and then a hint of dejection appeared on his face.
He was already in poor health, and his energy was not what it used to be.
The board of directors had long harbored resentment. The series of strategic mistakes had already made many veterans dissatisfied. They never expected that their own son would start to force them to step down so early!
This method...
The father and son then discussed something else, but early on April 30th, Sansang Electronics issued an announcement:
Lee Kun-hee has officially stepped down as chairman of Samsang Electronics due to health issues, and his son, Lee Jae-young, has assumed the chairmanship, taking full control of all business operations.
……
Guangzhou, Transsion headquarters.
Looking at the trending topics online, Shen Fei immediately understood that the era of the Three Sangs had officially ended, and that Li Zai Rong's rise to power would inevitably involve even more underhanded tactics.
After all, a new broom sweeps clean!
"Xiaofei, you must be careful. This Li Zairong is even more eager for quick success than his father, and his methods will probably be even more unscrupulous."
You must protect your core technologies.
Less than half an hour after San Sang made the official announcement, Zhang Shixin called him.
"Dad, don't worry! Our intelligence organization here isn't just sitting idly by. If they want to mess with us, they'll have to see if they have the capability."
Next, Ren Zhengfei, Yu Dazui, and others also called to send their greetings.
However, Shen Fei had anticipated this and had already instructed San Sang's pawns to begin their actions.
Soon, the first secret message arrived:
On his first day in office, Lee Jae-yong secretly met with TSMC Vice President Liu De-yin.
The two sides talked for more than three hours at a private club in Seoul. Although it is unknown what they talked about, it was definitely about the manufacturing technology of the audio chip.
What's your opinion on Mingzhu's situation?
After saying that, Shen Fei looked at his wife...
"I feel that they are after the quadruple exposure technology, after all, this technology has indeed changed the entire lithography industry, and their proud immersion lithography machine has been caught up."
Lee Kun-hee could tolerate it when he was in office, but now that Lee Jae-young is in charge…”
Zhang Mingzhu didn't finish her sentence, but her meaning was already very clear.
After all, she had analyzed these people for Shen Fei before, and her assessment of Li Zairong was that he was brave but reckless.
It's not that he lacks ability, it's just that he's young and a bit too impulsive.
……
Yangcheng Semiconductor Wafer Factory, Zone 1.
Yuan Guoqing finished his early shift today, so the duty shift here is currently being handled by Deputy Factory Director Zhou Mingyuan.
He is 35 years old this year and was one of the first top talents recruited by Huang Tianya. Moreover, because he has a PhD in materials science, he works with the factory director Yuan Guoqing to manage the wafer fab.
As soon as he stepped out of the cleanroom, he received a message on his phone.
The message came from the same headhunter: "Mr. Zhou, San Sang has raised his demands again."
Annual salary of 3000 million Chinese Yuan, one-time signing bonus of 500 million Yuan, permanent residency in South Korea, deputy director of Sansang Semiconductor Lithography Technology Research Institute, leading an independent team.
As long as you come with the algorithm and tuning parameters for the quadruple exposure technology, you can name your terms.
Seeing that he didn't reply, the headhunter sent another message, unwilling to give up:
"If you don't want to come to Korea, that's fine too. We can give you a service fee, which can be as high as the skill level allows."
We'd consider a hundred million dollars a good deal.
Zhou Mingyuan's eyes turned cold as he looked at the messages.
This was the third time the other party had contacted him. The previous times were more like tests, and the conditions they offered far exceeded those of their competitors.
But this time it's not about poaching people; it's clearly about stealing technology.
He initially wanted to block him directly, but then he thought that this matter wouldn't end so easily.
Although Boss Huang has already made a fortune off them, it's not enough; he hasn't crippled them enough!
Moreover, Lee Jae-yong was eager to establish his authority upon taking office, and the wafer fab was definitely a likely candidate.
Moreover, the other party was clearly prepared, after all, they knew exactly what their specific projects were... As for whether there were other accomplices inside the factory, that's unlikely.
After all, Huaxing's benefits are already top-notch, so it's unlikely that anyone would give up such a promising future for the so-called right to reside in South Korea.
So Zhou Mingyuan replied appropriately, "This time you've shown some sincerity, but you're still stingy. I'll think about it some more."
This sentence instantly made the headhunter on the other end of the line grin.
The other party then sent a series of messages...
But he did not reply, because he had gone directly to Yuan Guoqing's residence, which was in the family quarters next to the factory.
"Xiao Zhou, what brings you here? Please come in..."
Yuan Guoqing knew that he must have come for something else, so he didn't rush to ask about the parameters of Unit 3.
"Factory manager, something's happened."
As soon as Zhou Mingyuan sat down, he said anxiously, "I've been bothered by a stinky fly these past few days."
All they do is disgust me all day long!
He then recounted how San Sang had used headhunters to poach talent.
"All we want are core technologies!"
But this price... he really thinks we're fools.
"Eating kimchi might have damaged my brain, but the headhunter is still contacting me."
Yuan Guoqing glanced at his reply: "You did a good job on this."
Yuan Guoqing read it carefully, and then said earnestly:
"To be honest, besides you, TSMC has also been contacting people in the R&D department, but most of them have been rejected."
This time they've come directly to you; it seems they've driven themselves to desperation.
Yuan Guoqing stood up, tugging at his coat: "Let's go find President Shen now. This matter is too big; he has to make the decision."
