Zhejiang low-key entrepreneur: He started his business at the age of 56, and was in charge of the 4 trillion asset empire at the age of 90
Recommended statement: Since the reform and opening up, in addition to Guangdong entrepreneurs being very active, Zhejiang entrepreneurs are also very famous in the market. The representative figures include Jack Ma , Huang Zheng , Zhong Shanshan , Li Shufu, Zong Qinghou , Ding Lei , Nan Cunhui , Ma Jianrong, Ruan Liping, etc. They have made outstanding achievements in their respective industries.
However, when it comes to entrepreneurs in Zhejiang, I believe many people have forgotten a mysterious boss who is "hidden" who is the world overlord in the chip field. His name is Zhang Zhongmou .
Zhang Zhongmou is the founder of Taiwan Integrated Circuit Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (TSMC). He is known as the "chip king" and the "godfather of semiconductors" in Taiwan. He serves as an advisor to New York Stock Exchange and Stanford University.
Speaking of this, many people may not know what position TSMC, founded by Zhang Zhongmou, currently occupies in the industry.
In fact, in the field of chip foundry, TSMC alone accounts for more than 50% of the market share, which can be said to be an absolute giant. It is no exaggeration to say that if there were no Zhang Zhongmou and TSMC, the global electronics industry would have been paralyzed.
Zhang Zhongmou's history of hard work
Zhang Zhongmou was born in Zhejiang Ningbo in 1931. It was a special era. During the war, his parents took Zhang Zhongmou around, but fortunately, their parents attached great importance to Zhang Zhongmou's education issues, and Zhang Zhongmou was also very talented in studying, so he was admitted to Harvard University with excellent grades.
In 1949, 18-year-old Zhang Zhongmou entered Harvard University. Among the more than 1,000 freshmen in the school, he is the only Chinese. The next year, Zhang Zhongmou transferred to MIT , specializing in mechanical engineering , and obtained a master's degree in machinery in 1952.
After that, Zhang Zhongmou wanted to pursue a doctorate, but his family's finances no longer allowed him to be so "willful". For this reason, he had to suspend his studies and go out to work hard in society.
But even so, Zhang Zhongmou, who has a high education, is a talent that many large companies pay great attention to, because Ford is unwilling to give higher salaries, so Zhang Zhongmou chose to join a semiconductor company in anger.
You should know that Ford was incredible at that time, and the semiconductor industry has only developed for a few years and no prospect can be seen.
But it was this accident that made Zhang Zhongmou’s glorious life.
In order to achieve something in the semiconductor industry, Zhang Zhongmou began his "day and night" learning journey. He grew up from a young man to an industry expert in just over a year. Since then, he has switched to a larger semiconductor company and served as the global senior vice president of Texas Instruments .
In 1985, 52-year-old Zhang Zhongmou decided to resign and founded TSMC four years later.
Since then, in the context of the birth of smartphones and other devices around the world, TSMC, which relies on chip foundry, has taken advantage of the trend and has become an important partner of Apple, Qualcomm , Nvidia , etc. Zhang Zhongmou's career has begun to go smoothly. Now TSMC's market value has reached US$615.5 billion (about 4 trillion yuan).
On the other hand, at the peak of Zhang Zhongmou's career, his life also ushered in sweet love. 70-year-old Zhang Zhongmou married 57's female secretary Zhang Shufen, but it is worth mentioning that Zhang Shufen was previously the ex-wife of her subordinate, so some scandals about this matter are rumored from time to time.
But no matter what, everyone has the right to pursue their own happiness, and Zhang Zhongmou also gained career and love based on his ability.
