TSMC Chairman Liu Deyin is regarding to retire in June this year, and current president Wei Zhejia will also serve as chairman. Previously, some industry leaders felt aggrieved for CC (Wei’s English name), thinking that it was too hard for him to carry such a large company by himself. As expected, TSMC announced its latest personnel this week. Two senior vice presidents, Mi Yujie and Qin Yongpei, were simultaneously promoted to executive vice general managers and co-chief operating officers. They are equivalent to the right-hand man of the Wei Zhe family, and also symbolizes the formation of the third-generation succession team.

TSMC emphasized that the two executive vice presidents and co-chief operating officers and the four organizations of human resources, finance, legal affairs and corporate planning will be directly responsible to President Wei Zhejia, while other organizational units of the company will be responsible to Mi Yujie and Qin Yongpei.

Huang Chongren: CC has to shoulder a heavy burden!Too hard

Huang Chongren, Chairman of Power Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, once helped the Wei Zhe family to complain. He believed that following Liu Deyin retired, CCWei would have the hardest time. He originally only had to take care of the operation side, but now he has to take care of both sides. “This will make Dai Zhi’s life easier.” Huang said, CC is a very good person, he works very hard and is busy from 6 am to 9 pm every day. “It’s too hard for him to carry such a big burden alone.”

Huang Chongren even pointed out that TSMC has a big problem. Every vice president below is very capable, but none of them were trained by Zhang Zhongmou like CC and Liu Deyin. Some of these vice presidents are on the manufacturing side, some are on the business side, and some are very capable in the R&D field. Each has its own strengths. However, if they want to be promoted, those who do R&D can’t figure it out when it comes to business. “A company as big as TSMC must step up its efforts to train these talents to become all-round successors. The speed of developing successors is not fast enough.”

Now that the succession echelon has finally taken shape, the burden on CC’s shoulders will no longer be so heavy.

Lu Chaoqun: CC is very popular and TSMC has been thriving ever since.

Lu Chaoqun, chairman of Etron Technology, said in an interview that CC has been rising rapidly and has helped Taiwan take on a lot of responsibilities. Now that Mi Yujie and Qin Yongpei have joined the management team, CC has gone from being the sole leader to a very good team. He is very popular. I hope that TSMC will be prosperous and harmonious from now on.

Hon Hai Chairman Liu Yangwei is a junior student of Wei Zhe’s family at Jiaotong University, and the two have only known each other for a few years. Liu recalled that he and Wei Zhejia met for the first time in 2019, discussing customer issues in the conference room of Hon Hai’s Shenzhen Longhua factory. “At that time, he was sitting across from me. His sharp eyes and sharp questions made me feel very stressed; I realized It’s not that easy to be a customer or employee of Wei Zhe’s family.” Changing the topic, he mentioned that CC is really a very humorous person, which is what he admires regarding him.

Liu Yangwei: CC makes more money and shares for the company than I do

Liu Yangwei used three words to describe the Wei Zhe family: “early, many, and difficult.” “Early” means that CC entered Jiao Tong University earlier than him, went to the United States earlier, returned to Taiwan from the United States earlier, became his successor earlier than him, and was born earlier of course.

As for what “more” means? Liu Yangwei said that Wei led TSMC to make much more money than the company he led, and he also took more stocks than himself. In terms of the “difficult” part, “The technology and founders faced by CC are much more difficult than what I have faced. Even the geopolitical problems currently encountered by TSMC are more difficult than those faced by Hon Hai.” many.”

When Liu Yangwei mentioned the founder CC faced, he naturally referred to Zhang Zhongmou. Wei Zhejia and Liu Deyin are both successors who were vigorously cultivated by Zhang Zhongmou. What will the Wei Zhejia look like in Morris’s eyes?

Zhang Zhongmou: He is the most prepared CEO

Zhang Zhongmou said that CC (Wei Zhe’s English name) is the most well-prepared CEO, as you can tell by looking at his previous resume. He did R&D and also studied for a Ph.D., although he said he did not do well in it. He studied in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Yale University. “I also worked for several companies, including Texas Instruments, where I worked before.”

Zhang said that when Wei Zhejia first joined TSMC, he also worked in R&D and manufacturing departments. “Until 2009, I thought he should take over the business development department, from being in charge of 12,000 people to being in charge of 70 people.” So far, TSMC’s three most important proactive departments include the R&D department, the manufacturing department, and the business development department. , he has experienced it all.

Zhang Zhongmou mentioned that he recently read in a magazine that I changed Wei Zhejia’s department from being in charge of 12,000 people to only 70 people, saying that I owed him; “Actually, I was training him.” He already knew at that time, And gladly accept it. Taking over the business development department is definitely a plus for him. Zhang once once more emphasized that CC is really the most prepared CEO; he is obviously very satisfied with the successor he has trained.
