Zhang Zhongmou is the founder of TSMC and is known as the “Godfather of Taiwan’s Semiconductor.” Although he has retired, he still plays a vital role in the technology industry. Zhang Zhongmou trained and mentored many people in the high-tech industry, but some people were poached by Zhang Zhongmou and declined. To this day, they are still grateful that they were not hired by Zhang Zhongmou.
According to the biweekly report of “Financial News”, Cai Dukong, chairman of IC packaging and testing company Licheng Technology, has finally made a breakthrough in advanced packaging technology that he has laid out for many years! PowerChip was a joint venture established in 1997 by several memory wafer manufacturers including Powerchip and Macronix. It originally had a promising future, but in the next few years, it suffered from the sharp drop in DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory) prices. Facing bleak business. In 1999, Kingston, a global memory module manufacturer, became a major player. Tsai, who was originally preparing to retire, entered an industry that was quite unfamiliar to him.
Cai Dukong went from being a layman in chip packaging and testing to leading the industry to become a leader in DDRⅡ (double data transfer rate) and NAND Flash (one of the specifications of flash memory, which is used in popular products such as mobile phones, digital cameras, and MP3 players). ) and other popular product packaging and testing field technology leader. Let Licheng become the largest memory packaging and testing factory in Taiwan and the seventh largest packaging and testing company in the world.
Tsai Tuk-gong also revealed the past when he was personally poached by TSMC founder Zhang Zhongmou. At that time, Zhang Zhongmou invited him to join Huizhi Computer. Zhang Zhongmou’s first question was when he wanted to retire? While Zhang Zhongmou was poaching, Kingston, an American company, also recruited Cai Dukong. In the end, he declined Zhang Zhongmou and decided to join Kingston, an American company.
“Financial Information” biweekly pointed out that more than 20 years ago, when Tsai Tuk-gong was the general manager of the American company Hongzhi Computer (AST) Taiwan, he had the idea of retiring and wanted to immigrate to Canada. At this time, Kingston founder David Sun shouted to him, “Canada is so cold. , why don’t you come to California, USA? We can play golf together in the morning, and then go to work together in the company.”
Cai Dukong finally decided to join Kingston, and the reason was certainly not golfing, but if he had chosen to respond to Zhang Zhongmou’s offer, he would not be as successful as he is now.
