After Jing Gao went to Jingzhou to see An Xiaoqian, he did not leave immediately. Instead, it was in Jingzhou and Handong provinces to formally negotiate the "Suzaku" chip manufacturing project. The two sides hit it off. Soon, on December 15, the general framework was negotiated and the cooperation contract for the next 10-billion-level project was signed.

The initial capital of 100 million US dollars of Phoenix Fund has been transferred from the account of the Bank of East Asia to the account of the Universe Bank in Handong Branch. The preliminary project does not require the government to advance funds or come forward to find bank financing, which can be described as full of sincerity.

That night, Handong held a reception banquet in the "Handong Building" to celebrate the signing of the contract and cooperation between the two sides.

In the splendid banquet hall, guests attended in formal attire. Most of the men are suits and leather shoes, and the women have few gorgeous off-the-shoulder and open-back dresses, which are basically dignified and elegant styles.

After the leader's speech, a deputy director of the provincial office who acted as the host announced on the red carpet in front of the banquet hall: "Next, I would like to ask Mr. Jing of the Phoenix Fund to say a few words to us. Everyone is welcome!"

"Smack. ”

Applause rang out in the ballroom. Jing Gao confessed to the leader, stepped forward, first humbly bowed to the guests in the banquet hall, and then took out the speech, and said: "Distinguished leaders, distinguished guests, comrades and friends, good evening. ”

Reading this, Idaka habitually paused. There was another round of applause in the banquet hall.

Jing Gao smiled bitterly in his heart, he had purely experienced many occasions, and he unconsciously followed the habit and rhythm of reading the manuscript. It's very bureaucratic.

"Thank you very much to Handong for your strong support to our Phoenix Fund. Standing on such a grand occasion, I was very excited. Therefore, I need to read it according to the script. Thank you for your understanding. Here, I would like to give you a brief report on the vision of the Phoenix Fund on the Suzaku chip..."

The officials in the banquet hall, the top entrepreneurs in the province, the media, and the scholars in the university, hundreds of eyes were focused on Jing Gao. At this time, he was wearing a modest suit, with a black-rimmed flat glass, and short hair. He has a slender figure and an ordinary appearance, and reads the manuscript word by word.

His voice echoed through the microphone through the hall.

In the crowd, An Xiaoqian, who was wearing an elegant dress, looked at the young man who was giving a speech in front of her, and gently pursed her lips.

Her assistant Tang Xuan was surrounded by Song Fa, Xi Wenbin, and Ren Chao, who were Ren He's assistants who quietly came to Handong, and the expressions of the three were slightly complicated.

Whether they admit it or not, in such a grand occasion, they are like a small shrimp, feeling the rolling wave of the "times". The scenery of the galaxy group in the past is being transported.

So, looking back at the choices made in the past two or three months, is it really inevitable that there will be a sharp conflict with the Phoenix Fund? Everyone has an answer in their hearts.

...

...

The negotiation team on the Phoenix Fund's side was naturally all present. Cao Danqing, the vice president who flew in to participate in the negotiation a few days ago, sat at the wine table, wearing a navy blue suit, his hair coiled up, 1.72 meters tall, tall and clean, and the skin around his neck was fair. The twenty-seven-year-old beauty is elegant and charming.

At this moment, there is a gentle smile hidden in her eyes, witnessing the "highlight" moment of Idaka. As the vice president of the Phoenix Fund, she has always known and participated in the whole process of Jinggao's plan, and the success at this time has filled her with pride, as well as admiration and appreciation for the man she loves.

Jiang Zi, Dong Youwei and several other assistants are at this wine table. Seeing my boss win such an honor is a great honor in my heart.

Jiang Zi, a mature and graceful assistant to a beautiful woman, looked at the expressions of An Xiaoqian and the others not far from her side, and the corners of her mouth slowly raised.

At this moment, Jing Gao's brief speech was finished, and the audience applauded.

"Whoa..."

...

...

The cold winter night gradually fell silent, and it was about nine o'clock in the evening after the banquet. Jing Gao and others were arranged to live in a luxurious suite upstairs in the Handong Building.

"Mr. Jing, didn't you see the reaction of An Xiaoqian and the others..."Jiang Zi lightly lifted the pot and poured a glass of heated Coke for Jing Gao, with a smile between his eyebrows, in front of the desk near the window of Jing Gao's suite, talking to him about what he had seen and heard at the banquet.

"Huh. You..."Itaka sat in a soft chair behind his desk, looking sideways at the night view of Jingzhou outside the building, drinking Coke. Jiang Zigang helped him find someone to heat up Coke. He was on a video call with Cao Danqing in the bathroom.

Elegant and charming female president, even if he thinks about it, he can't stay in Cao Danqing's room longer. The Handong Building is full of people inside and out. I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring. He can only be a video call, teasing the beautiful Cao Damei who is beautiful but actually conservative.

"Jiang Zi, you can arrange to buy a villa here in Jingzhou. You can't stay in a hotel every time you come. ”

Jiang Zi leaned on the edge of the table and chuckled, "Okay, Mr. Jing." In addition, we will fly to the capital tomorrow morning. Mr. Cao stayed here to follow up on the follow-up matters. The chip manufacturing project in Jinling is being negotiated. ”

Itaka nodded. The chip project in Handong is just a point in the layout of the Phoenix Fund, and he also hopes to build another wafer foundry in Jinling. It's a little more secure for him.

The factories of chip manufacturing companies do not necessarily mean that they must be confined to one place. Just look at SMIC, a leading domestic chip manufacturing company.

SMIC has chip factories in Beijing, Modu, Jinmen, Shencheng and Jiangyin. It turned out that there were factories in Rongcheng and Jiangzhou, but they were sold because they had not made a profit.

This involves a real problem in the chip industry: profitability. Chip manufacturing is a capital-intensive and technology-intensive industry. The completion of a fab: It does not mean that the factory is built, the machines and talents are in place.

It is also necessary to improve the yield rate. If the yield rate is not raised, the investment of tens of billions of funds will be used at every turn, when will the cost be recovered?

Therefore, chip manufacturing is not something that ordinary people can afford. Be prepared to lose money for ten years.

As a god, the biggest difference between Jing Gao and other gods, reborn, and normal business tycoons is that he does not need to be restricted by funds to do business. Moreover, regardless of the changes in the situation at home and abroad, his funds will always be sufficient. There will be no broken capital chain. It can be expanded rapidly. However, he wants to go to the point of the business world, and he has a structural contradiction!

He is short of talent. There is a shortage of management and technical talents.

It's not something money can buy. Of course, it's not that you can't dig people up if you have money. Taking management talents as an example, it takes a lot of time to build and run in an excellent management team, and it doesn't mean that you can succeed just by money?

After Alibaba got the investment that year, Ma Yun floated. Headquartered in the U.S., we recruit executives globally. The dot-com bubble burst, and he had to lay off his staff drastically. It wasn't until a few years later that he had a management team with the same values and culture.

Let's talk about technical talents. Of course, it's okay to poach people with high salaries, but it takes time for people to quit. If you return from overseas, you will also have to arrange for your children to live and study. Some talents also have to circumvent non-compete agreements. It takes time and effort to do it. It's not like waving a checkbook to get everything done quickly.

That's the next step he's going to take to the top.
