In this negotiation issue, Lin Feng specifically raised the issue of Zhongxin International.

Lin Feng wants to pay the price of developing a 10-nanometer chip manufacturing process within three years and adding 100 places for the second-generation genetic enhancement drug with an IQ of 160, which is at the level of Hawking.

Use the loan to buy Zhongxin International, and then use the future profits of Zhongxin International to pay the loan fee.

Daxia formally agreed to Lin Feng's request and agreed to sell all of the 51% of Zhongxin International shares held by the national team to Xingtu Technology.

Moreover, the loan provided by Daxia was quite generous, with three years of interest-free loan. The remaining outstanding balance after three years would be calculated at an ultra-low interest rate of 1.5% per annum.

Lin Feng was naturally very happy about this, because this was really like getting something for nothing, and he got Zhongxin International for free.

Although he has to pay 1.5% interest after three years, Raymond Lam believes that he may not have to pay interest after three years.

Because if he cannot make a profit of 250 billion Xia yuan in three years, then this chip foundry will be a failure.

After all, taking TSMC's store as an example, their annual profit reached 600 billion yuan.

If Lin Feng really developed a 10-nanometer chip manufacturing process, with the unique 10-nanometer chip production capability, there is no reason why he could not repay the 250 billion Xia Yuan loan within three years.

Of course, holding only 51% of the shares did not make Lin Feng very satisfied.

Therefore, Lin Feng first suppressed the matter of Da Xia transferring Zhong Xin International shares, and instead asked them to help acquire some scattered shares first.

First, increase the shares held by Daxia, and then sell them to Xingtu Technology.

This is to prevent Xingtu Technology from personally making the acquisition, which would eventually attract global capital to buy Zhongxin International’s shares, increasing the difficulty of the share acquisition.

After all, Lin Feng has performed too many miracles. Xingtu Technology suddenly acquired the shares of Zhongxin International, so other companies must want to come in and make money behind Xingtu Technology.

As for Daxia’s decision?

Of course there is nothing wrong with that, but they require the transfer of shares to be completed within one month.

After all, withdrawing the company's working capital to purchase Zhongxin International shares will affect their own development plans.

As a result, the value of Zhongxin International's shares listed on the Hong Kong stock market began to rise quietly, and many investors did not know what was going on.

Among them, some people quietly acquired Zhongxin International's shares, while others could not sit still and sold Zhongxin International's shares.

So as time passed, the market value of Zhongxin International gradually began to increase.

在2025年11月20日的时候，只是用十几天的时间而已，忠芯国际的市值从不足400亿港元已经悄然间涨到了500多亿港元。

Such a situation naturally attracted special attention from many media, and reporters from all walks of life also flocked to the scene.

Reporters wanted to know who was secretly acquiring Zhongxin International's shares and raising its market value, but soon they no longer had to worry about it.

On the evening of the 20th, Hong Kong's Sing Tao Daily got the information from somewhere and was the first to expose the truth that led to the surge in Zhongxin International's market value.

Once the truth came out, companies in the semiconductor industry around the world changed their attitude and became nervous.

After all, Xingtu Technology is a very powerful company. First it came out with the "coin-type electromagnetic rifle", then the "second-generation TikTok recommendation algorithm", and finally the "deep sleep aid".

Every product of Xingtu Technology has created amazing results globally.

And this does not include his subsidiary Xingtu Gene Company. In terms of achievements and contributions to mankind, Xingtu Gene Company is only more powerful than its parent company. After all, Xingtu Gene Company has successfully enabled humans to edit their entire body genes, allowing people to exercise the power of God's creation.

Not only did they solve the two major diseases of AIDS and hepatitis B, but they also developed a magical gene-enhancing drug.

The key to all this is that they have a super talented boss, Raymond Lam!

When they heard that the purpose of the national team's secret acquisition of Zhongxin International's shares was Xingtu Technology, semiconductor colleagues naturally became nervous.

Of course, what made them even more nervous was that as the news came to light, Xingtu Technology did not hide anything and directly started buying up Zhongxin International shares on the market.

The actions of Xingtu Technology naturally confirmed the authenticity of the news in Sing Tao Daily.

This proved that Xingtu Technology really wanted to acquire Zhongxin International, making its semiconductor peers extremely nervous.

……

Bay Island, TSMC headquarters.

While the outside world was hotly discussing the acquisition of Zhongxin International by Xingtu Technology, TSMC also held a small meeting to discuss the matter.

“…A few months ago, Xingtu Technology spent 30 billion to buy VIA’s graphics card division.

I suspect that Xingtu Technology's sudden acquisition of Zhongxin International's shares is probably because it wants to produce its own graphics card chips."

The person who was speaking at this time was an 80-year-old man named Zhang Zhong, who was the head of TSMC.

Although he is over 80 years old, the entire TSMC store is still as stable as a rock in his hands.

At this time, he frowned and looked quite uneasy about Xingtu Technology's entry into the semiconductor industry.

"Lao Zhang, I think you are too nervous. Zhongxin International only managed to get a 28-nanometer chip production line with the help of Daxia.

The yield rate of this 28-nanometer chip production line is not very good. Even if all the production capacity is used to produce graphics cards, the maximum monthly production capacity is only 3.5 pieces.

Even if they run this small production line 24 hours a day, how many graphics card chips can they produce? How can they pose a huge threat to us?"

The person who made the disdainful remarks at this time was Wei Jiazhe, one of the three giants of TSMC.

Wei Jiazhe took over the position of President and CEO of TSMC after Zhang Zhong retired a few years later. He was also a celebrity in his previous life.

Of course, he is not the president and CEO of TSMC yet. He is just a vice president in name only. He is actually mainly responsible for managing the company's daily affairs and is the general manager of TSMC.

“That’s right, I also think that we don’t need to attach too much importance to Xingtu Technology. As the R&D director of TSMC, I know how difficult it is to produce chips.

Not to mention the difficulty of developing and manufacturing core chip production equipment such as lithography machines and etching machines, the difficulty of improving the yield rate is no easier than developing lithography machines.

After all, in order to improve the yield rate of chips, we have burned $18 billion so far this year alone, and we expect to burn a total of $20 billion this year.

Under such circumstances, what can Lin Feng use to compete with us? What can he use to threaten us?

They should first accumulate capital for 10 years and serve as apprentices for 10 years."

The speaker at this time was Lin Benjian, the R&D director of TSMC, who was also one of the three giants of TSMC. (End of this chapter)
