According to Gou, if Foxconn would win Toshiba's chip unit it plans to keep the Japanese leadership in place, which it hopes is a way to appease the Japanese government ahead of the end of bidding.

"We will definitely **t undermine **r interfere With [Toshiba's existing management]. We will treat them like the way we have been treating Sharp," Gou said, adding that he was confident that Foxconn stood a good chance of winning the bid.

"We let Japanese [managers] run Sharp ... we are also hoping that Toshiba's Memory unit will survive into the next 50 to 100 years at least, like Sharp."

Other bidders include Broadcom and South Korea's SK Hynix, and the winner is expected to be an**unced sometime this month, ahead of Toshiba's next shareholder meeting.
