April 15th, 2025 — BGC, Philippines
The soft hum of air conditioning filled the executive boardroom of the Shangri-La Tower in BGC. Outside the panoramic windows, the skyline shimmered beneath the late morning sun, cranes dotting the horizon.
Timothy Guerrero adjusted the cuff of his charcoal-gray suit, eyes scanning the printed pages of the contract laid out before him. The bold black lettering across the top read:
JOINT VENTURE AGREEMENT — TG SEMICONDUCTOR FOUNDRY PROJECT
Across from him sat Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA Corporation, his signature black leather jacket replaced with a formal suit for the occasion.
To Timothy's right sat Seo Hana, acting today as both aide and notary representative for TG Holdings. On NVIDIA's side, two executives — Mark Stevens, their Chief Financial Officer, and Dr. Richard Wang, Senior Vice President for Engineering — quietly reviewed the technical annexes of the agreement.
