When you depend on outside technology, Hsu believes, you are constrained by others. For example, there can be restrictions on where you can sell or stipulations about the source of raw materials. But once you research and develop your own technology, then "you have a blank canvas on which to paint," says Hsu, who is a great lover of music and art and an amateur painter.
許文龍認為，引進外人技術，就得受制於人，例如：限制販售地區、指定材料來源等；而一旦技術能自主自行研發，「就能在白紙上自由作畫，」酷愛音樂與藝術、本身也畫油畫的許文龍比喻。
