TSMCThe Kumamoto Factory JASM opened on February 24, and the Japanese media called it the “Reiwa Black Ship”. Senior media person Huang Weihan said that the “Reiwa Black Ship” will be repeated in Kumamoto in 2024.JapanPeople hope that TSMC’s establishment of a factory in Kumamoto will bring about the benefits of “Black Ship 2.0” and create “Japan’sSilicon Valley” and “Kumamoto, the city that never sleeps”.
He said that in 1853, Commodore Perry of the U.S. Navy led a fleet of “black ships” into Edo Bay, which was known in history as the “Sail of the Black Ships.” After that, Japan woke up from a dream and began to comprehensively study the system, industry, and economic culture of the Western world.
Now “Reiwa Black Ship”, Huang Weihan said that the Japanese hope to create a “Japanese Silicon Valley” to attract moresemiconductorLarge factories set up factories in Japan; and Kumamoto is a city that never sleeps, working 24 hours a day without rest. In order to achieve this goal, Japan has determination and methods.
He said that the first is subsidies. The Japanese government subsidy for TSMC Kumamoto Plant 1 (mature process) is 476 billion yen, equivalent to about NT$100 billion. The “TSMC Kumamoto Plant 2” that started construction this year and is expected to be completed in 2027 will subsidize 732 billion yen, equivalent to NT$100 billion. NT$155.5 billion. If advanced processes below 7 nanometers can be achieved by then, subsidies of NT$180 billion may be provided. Talks are already underway about a third factory. Japanese media reported that Japan hopes TSMC can go to Kumamoto to build “five factories.”
The second is working conditions. Huang Weihan said that compared to the United States, Kumamoto is closer to Taiwan in terms of distance, climate, living habits, and time zone. When excellent engineers consider whether to go to the United States or Japan, family factors and living conditions, It will also be the focus of consideration.
He said that supermarkets around TSMC’s Kumamoto factory in Kikuyo Town have begun selling Taiwanese snacks such as fried rice noodles, pork ribs rice, and bean curd rice balls. The workers in the TSMC cafeteria alone are actually offering 3,000 yen an hour.salaryhiring. Kumamoto’s salary is the fourth lowest in Japan, with an average hourly wage of 898 yen, equivalent to NT$188. In Tokyo, the hourly wage is 1,113 yen, equivalent to NT$233. TSMC’s cafeteria workers earn 3,000 yen per hour, equivalent to NT$629. With food and accommodation included, you can earn NT$100,000 per month.
Huang Weihan said that talking about this topic is not to brag about how successful TSMC is in Kumamoto or how powerful Japan is. However, when setting up factories overseas, the Japanese government has long anticipated the problems encountered by TSMC’s U.S. factories such as union backlash and insufficient subsidies, and has completely eliminated them.
The founding of the country by the Black Ships more than 100 years ago woke up Japan; Huang Weihan said that today in 2024, Japan is looking forward to the “Reiwa Black Ships” to achieve prosperity again. Japan wants to attract not only TSMC, but also South Korea’s Samsung, the United States’ Intel, and Micron. The target of Japanese investment. TSMC’s Kumamoto plant is scheduled to open on February 24. The day before happened to be Emperor Naruhito’s birthday. Some people said that this seemed to be a birthday gift to the emperor.
