S4-E18 - Taiwan's Greatest Modern Company - TSMC (The Morris Chang story)

The person who did most of the work creating the company people
around the world almost immediately associate with Taiwan
has no ancestors from this island, was not born here, didn't go
to school here, and only came here for the first time when he was
almost 40 years old. 





But, of course, Morris
Chang 張忠謀 didn't create
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company
(TSMC) out of thin air, nor was he the sole person who
set up the famous Taiwanese microchip powerhouse. He had
partners, backers, and more than a little assistance from the
Taiwanese government. 





As of this recording, the retired Morris Chang has a net worth of
over US$3 billion and remains incredibly active, despite
celebrating his 93rd birthday in early July. Check out this
fascinating story on Formosa Files.
