> I understand you have a next book, but you have to answer this question. There is not a Gen 6 fab. There is not a Gen 10.5 fab. There is not a factory that is making anything that is known to anyone, as far as we can tell. If you had just said, “We are going to make a Gen 6 fab,” I think everyone would have been like, “Okay, where is it?” There isn’t one. The idea that it is the Evers administration, that business climate changed, or that Wisconsin was the wrong choice — which is what you are suggesting right now — that is all on Foxconn. If you chose wrong and should have chosen Ohio because of politics, it is still on Foxconn. If you decided 10.5 was not going to work out and Gen 6 was better, and you could not convince the Evers administration that you were actually going to build an LCD factory. What we have heard from that administration is that you never engaged or told them anything. So where is the accountability here for there not being a factory?
It sounds like the interviewer has already decided what the right answer is. And not to defend Yeung here, but the argument here is pretty asinine. A new administration came in and killed the deal - and it's their fault for not anticipating this? Is he on trial for both helping make the deal and letting it fail?
- Kon-Peki 5y agoYou can go back and read the historical reporting on this. I think the point is that the Evers administration didn't kill anything, they issued a death certificate for something that had been laying by the side of the road for a really long time. They felt for a pulse, they poked it with a stick, they threw a bucket of water on it. And finally said, "Yep, it's dead"
