00:00Before watching the video, let me remind you that there is more content on the R.E.D.I.M.E. website.
00:04Intel, which used to be the leader of semiconductor chips,
00:08announced their new CEO on Wednesday.
00:12The new CEO appointed by a technology company was also a common thing,
00:16but this time the appointment attracted the attention of the Danish Chinese.
00:20Why are the Danish Chinese so concerned?
00:23Because this new CEO, named Chen Liwu,
00:26was born in Denmark.
00:28He is also the first Chinese CEO of Intel.
00:32The name Chen Liwu may not be well-known to the public,
00:36but in the semiconductor industry, he is a well-known veteran.
00:40He is known as a chip pioneer.
00:43He will take office on March 18th
00:45and become the fourth CEO of Intel in seven years.
00:49This appointment immediately attracted widespread attention in the technology industry.
00:53At least Intel's stock price rose sharply.
00:56Chen Liwu, who is 66 years old this year, was born in Rofomapo.
01:00His mother is a teacher.
01:02His father used to be the editor-in-chief of Nanyang Business Daily.
01:05He grew up in Singapore
01:07and majored in physics at Nanyang University.
01:10After that, he went to the University of Washington,
01:12where he studied engineering.
01:15Then he got his MBA from the University of California, San Francisco.
01:18With his excellent engineering background,
01:20Chen Liwu was passionate about business.
01:22At the age of 28, he founded Huadeng International,
01:25and invested in many semiconductor companies in the United States and Asia,
01:28as well as in the field of digital media.
01:30His first company was known as a chip pioneer.
01:34Chen Liwu's sudden death
01:36and the collapse of the U.S. chip giant
01:38actually took on the responsibility of rescuing Intel.
01:41Intel has led the semiconductor industry for decades.
01:45With the breakthrough development of AI technology in recent years,
01:48Intel failed to keep up with the trend of the industry
01:50and gradually lagged behind other competitors.
01:53It is facing a loss of market share,
01:55manufacturing shortages, and a sharp decline in performance.
01:59In the processor industry,
02:00it is facing the processing of Nvidia AMD.
02:03In the chip manufacturing industry,
02:05it also needs to compete with companies such as TSMC and Samsung Electronics.
02:09Recently, more than 15,000 people have been laid off.
02:13The prospect is full of challenges.
02:16In fact, Intel is not unfamiliar with Chen Liwu.
02:19Chen Liwu joined Intel in 2022
02:23to assist Intel's re-election.
02:26In October 2023,
02:28he was authorized to supervise the manufacturing industry.
02:32However, he only took office for less than two years.
02:34In August last year, he suddenly resigned from the board
02:37because he and the former CEO,
02:39Kishin Ge, had multiple conflicts
02:42regarding Intel's re-election plan,
02:44including dissatisfaction with the manpower configuration,
02:46the manufacturing strategy,
02:47and the lagging AI strategy, etc.
02:49Now that Kishin Ge has stepped down,
02:51and Chen Liwu has returned,
02:53will he be able to help Intel
02:55overcome the difficulties and rebuild its glory?
02:58This still needs time to prove.
03:00But the market is very optimistic.
03:02As mentioned earlier,
03:03as soon as the appointment notice was made public,
03:05Intel turned a blind eye.
03:07The stock price soared by nearly 15%.
03:10The U.S. Banking and Securities Analyst
03:12rated Intel's investment to a neutral level
03:16and praised Chen Liwu
03:18for having a stable performance record.
03:20It's worth mentioning that
03:21with Intel appointing Chen Liwu
03:23as the new CEO,
03:25the four biggest giants in the U.S. chip industry,
03:28Invida, Botong, AMD, and Intel,
03:31are all owned by Chinese people.
03:35The two are also of Malaysian background.
03:38In addition to Chen Liwu,
03:40Botong's Broadcom CEO and CEO,
03:43Chen Fuyang,
03:44is also a Malaysian born in Penang.
03:47The other two are the founders of Invida,
03:50and the CEO, Wang Renxun,
03:53and the CEO of AMD, Su Zifeng.
03:55Both were born in Taiwan,
03:57but immigrated to the U.S. when they were young.
03:59In other words,
04:00the current competition in the U.S. chip industry
04:02is a competition between Chinese entrepreneurs.
04:04It's not unfair at all.
