3. There are several key points why Mr. Li Guoding is great: he has a macro perspective, knows people well, is eager to seek talents, and is very honest.

There was a special event last week. TSMC founder Zhang Zhongmou was selected as the winner of the first “Li Guoding Award” of the “Li Guoding Science and Technology Development Foundation”. On the day of the award ceremony, a large number of people gathered. In addition to President Tsai Ing-wen, there were also many technology leaders. Jen-Hsun Huang, chairman of Nvidia, an important customer of TSMC, also flew from the United States to celebrate Zhang Zhongmou.

Huang Jen-Hsun had only been to Taiwan about two weeks ago, and he flew here specially this time because the significance of this award is of great significance. When he was 32 years old, Huida was just a small company on the verge of bankruptcy. He asked Zhang Zhong for help, hoping to help him manufacture its products. Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhongmou agreed, which changed Huida’s life.

In his speech, Huang Renxun mentioned that Zhang Zhongmou said that without Li Guoding, there would be no TSMC; he believed that without TSMC, there would be no Nvidia, and without TSMC, there would be no current technology. “Li Guoding is the godfather of Taiwan’s technology industry, and Zhang Zhongmou is the godfather of various industries.”

If Zhang Zhongmou is a thousand-mile horse, Li Guoding is Bole. There are several key points why Li Guoding is great.

First, he is macro-forward-looking. Li Guoding studied physics himself and studied physics under the guidance of the famous professor (Ernest Rutherford) of the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom. But later, because of the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Li Guoding gave up his doctorate and returned to China early. Rigorous scientific training allowed Li Guoding to see the forest and the trees again.

Several important achievements in Taiwan’s economic development came from Li Guoding, including promoting the establishment of export processing zones in 1966, promoting the establishment of the Information Industry Promotion Association, initiating the establishment of the Hsinchu Science Park, introducing the US venture capital mechanism to Taiwan, and supporting the establishment of TSMC. . He led Taiwan’s industry to transform twice, from the agricultural era to the industrial era, and then from the industrial era to the technological era.

Secondly, Li Guoding knows people well and is eager for talents. Mr. Zhang Zhongmou recounted that Li Guoding wanted to hire him back to Taiwan since he met him in 1976. It was not until 1982 that he formally rejected Li Guoding, and he finally returned to Taiwan in 1985.

Zhang Zhongmou said that TSMC’s business model was his idea, but 48% of the credit for promoting and convincing the government to invest was Li Guoding. “Without Li Guoding’s promotion, there would be no TSMC.” Taiwanese people always equate Zhang Zhongmou with TSMC. , but the real father of TSMC is Li Guoding.

Third, Zhang Zhongmou mentioned that a very important characteristic of Li Guoding is that he is very honest, which is very important. Li Guoding created Taiwan’s technology industry and allowed many people to make a lot of money. However, when he retired, he had nothing to do and lived a very simple life.

Li Guoding helped Taiwanese companies create business opportunities during many crises. Looking back now and looking back on the past, it is really sad! Now we often ask who will be the next national protector? But the more important question may be whether there is another Li Guoding in Taiwan.
