Speaking of entrepreneurship, people may be related to young people. Everyone generally believes that entrepreneurship is actually something that young people should do, but this statement seems to be constantly overturning. In recent years, China has attached great importance to self-employment, especially some small and micro enterprises. However, in such an environment, many people are afraid of entrepreneurship, especially young people, so there are actually many middle-aged entrepreneurs in China.

Nowadays, many people have begun to use age as an excuse to think that they are in their 30s and are not suitable for starting a business. However, there are also many up-and-coming celebrities in China's technology and Internet industries, and they are all in their forties and fifties to embark on the road of entrepreneurship. Although they started their business late, they also did a good job.

For example, Liu Chuanzhi founded Lenovo Holdings Co., Ltd. at the age of 40. Ren Zhengfei founded Huawei at the age of 44. But there is a man who was still working at the age of 55, started a business at the age of 56, and was still running a trillion-dollar empire at the age of 86. He is the father of TSMC and founder of TSMC, Zhang Zhongmou .

Zhang Zhongmou is also known as the father of Taiwan's semiconductors. Although Zhang Zhongmou started his business relatively late, Zhang Zhongmou did a very good job. Zhang Zhongmou's TSMC is the most profitable Chinese technology company in the world. Zhang Zhongmou was born in 1931. In fact, Zhang Zhongmou's family is not wealthy. There was a time when Zhang Zhongmou was even in a state of uncertainty and exile. Zhang Zhongmou has traveled to 6 cities and 10 schools.

When he was young, Zhang Zhongmou came to the United States to study and successfully entered Harvard University. When he was young, he believed that as long as he worked hard, he could succeed and make a name for himself. When he was studying at Harvard, he was the best in the class. Later, he went to MIT to study machinery. 24-year-old Zhang Zhongmou started his first job in the United States. Is a semiconductor engineer. At the age of 27, Zhang Zhongmou joined Texas Instruments Company and worked in this company for more than 20 years.

Later, 54-year-old Zhang Zhongmou returned to Taiwan and founded a mechanical and electrical circuit manufacturing company in Taiwan at the age of 56. In addition, he also made a high-profile statement that he would make the world's largest semiconductor manufacturing foundry company. At the beginning of the business, the company's electronics industry was very small. At that time, mobile phones and smartphones did not begin to develop, and so did personal computers, so did Zhang Zhongmou's entrepreneurial journey.

Later, Zhang Zhongmou discovered business opportunities in the chip industry, so he put the company into a foundry state, which means that some small manufacturers will focus on developing related intellectual property rights without paying too much cost. As it turns out, this new idea quickly brought a lot of business to the company, and TSMC's market value once surpassed Intel and became the leader in the industry.

In 2001, TSMC's 70-year-old chairman Zhang Zhongmou and Zhang Shufen, who is 13 years younger than him, got married in California, USA in a low-key manner. The wedding was quite low-key, with only a few relatives and friends invited to attend. This is the remarriage of the two, and it is also a sensation. The reason is that Zhang Shufen once worked under Zhang Zhongmou, and was Wu Dingkai's ex-wife. Wu Dingkai is the director of the Chemical Industry of the Taiwan Institute of Industrial Research and is also a subordinate of Zhang Zhongmou.

Due to work relations, in 1985, Zhang Zhongmou returned from the United States and became the director of the Institute of Industry and Research, and Zhang Shufen served as the director's secretary. Zhang Shufen is lively and cheerful, good at thinking, and is one of the few candidates who can calm down Zhang Zhongmou. The news of their marriage was not favored by many people. It was said that Zhang Zhongmou actually had a good impression of his subordinate's wife. The implication is to suspect that he has moral problems, and some people even directly say that Zhang Zhongmou is the wife who seized someone.

But the two of them didn't agree with it. They lived year after year with such controversy. They felt that as long as we did a clear conscience, it didn't matter how the outside world spread it. Later, judging from the information disclosed by the media later, they came together because of love, but also with each other's pain. It turned out that Zhang Shufen and her ex-husband had long been cut off, but the divorce was postponed for more than ten years, and so was Zhang Zhongmou. By the time he remarried, he had been separated from his ex-wife for more than 30 years.

You can imagine how much courage Zhang Zhongmou and Zhang Shufen need, how many imperfections they have overcome to get together. But their courage and overcoming are worth it, and this has been exchanged for the success since then. Under the leadership of Zhang Zhongmou, TSMC achieved rapid development. In 2006, Zhang Zhongmou resigned from his position as Taiwan Central Telecom and began to pursue his own life. But, unfortunate things happened.

Under the impact of the 2009 financial crisis, TSMC is on the verge of loss. Zhang Zhongmou returns to TSMC as CEO. In 2010, TSMC's operating income reached 90 billion yuan. It is the most profitable company among the 1,300 listed companies in Taiwan. 56-year-old Zhang Zhongmou started his career and achieved such high results. People have to admire him. However, this also stems from Zhang Zhongmou's experience accumulated in world-class technology companies. It has laid a solid foundation for the future establishment of TSMC.

Now Zhang Zhongmou is 88 years old. Zhang Zhongmou officially announced his retirement in June 2018. In 2017, he left TSMC with revenue of 208.7 billion, and his net profit reached 80 billion. At that time, Huawei was only 47.4 billion, and TSMC's net profit was twice that of Huawei.

Zhang Zhongmou is able to lead TSMC Xu De's achievements, which is not only a technical accumulation, but also provides valuable experience for company management. Zhang Zhongmou often says that he still has a long golden age. Under the leadership of Zhang Zhongmou, TSMC is not only the most profitable company in Taiwan, but also the company with the largest annual R&D and investment.

TSMC's customers include a large number of leading global technology companies, including Apple, Qualcomm and Huawei, with market capitalization of over 1 trillion yuan, even surpassing IBM. In an interview with Japanese media, Zhang Zhongmou said that he "bluntly" that the mainland's chip foundry technology is still lagging behind, and it may take several years to reach TSMC's technical threshold.

56 started his business at the age of 56. In just 30 years, he has become an important enterprise in the technology industry and the most profitable enterprise in Taiwan. Although Zhang Zhongmou has achieved great success, his achievements are already excellent enough.
