After your career grows, you will be very busy during the Chinese New Year, and there will be a lot of phone calls to make.

Like the old principal, Principal Li, and several leaders in the magic city, Yu Wenfei called in advance yesterday to pay respects to the New Year.

On the leader's side, Yu Wenfei didn't come to visit.

First, the relationship has not yet reached that point, and it is not welcome to come to the door.

Second, he is not engaged in those traditional businesses, and he is not so dependent on the city, and in recent years, he has deliberately not gotten too close to the city, because he does not want to get involved in some troubles.

He made a lot of phone calls, and likewise, he called him a lot to pay New Year's greetings.

Those who are closer, like Wang Jinbao, called his cousin with the crow last night to greet the New Year.

The two of them didn't go back for the New Year this year, but stayed in Pengcheng, and the legendary mobile phone has been selling too well recently.

The company is very busy, increasing production, shipping, expanding production lines or something, things are complicated, Wang Jinbao is the general manager of the company, where can he go fast.

So I simply didn't go back for the New Year.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Zhou Mengyi flew back from the capital and brought a surprise to Yu Wenfei.

This time, Star Electronics was established, the original new Lenovo Group was reorganized, and the organizational structure of Star Electronics Group was also readjusted.

There is no doubt that the chairman of Star Electronics Group is Yu Wenfei, and the board of directors includes several shareholders, plus three executives, Yang Yuanqing, Zhou Mengyi and Mike, vice president of THINKPAD.

There are three subsidiaries, Lenovo, Alien, and THINKPAD, of which Alien is still the original old team in charge.

THE POSITIONS OF PRESIDENT OF LENOVO AND THINKPAD ARE VACANT, AND YU WENFEI ASKED YANG YUANQING FOR HIS OPINION.

After Yang Yuanqing thought about it, he felt that Lenovo was more promising, because Lenovo was engaged in the low-end market, and the following also included all the factories of the group company, which belonged to a subsidiary with the most assets.

So, he chose to stay at Lenovo.

THEN THE REMAINING POSITION OF PRESIDENT OF THINKPAD COMPANY, YU WENFEI GAVE IT TO ZHOU MENGYI, AND THE VICE PRESIDENT WAS MIKE.

ZHOU MENGYI AND MIKE ALSO CARRIED OUT A DIVISION OF BUSINESS, MIKE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ORIGINAL PRODUCT LINE AND BUSINESS LINE OF THINKPAD, THAT IS, THE DESIGN AND SALES OF THINKPAD NOTEBOOK BUSINESS.

ZHOU MENGYI WILL BE IN CHARGE OF THINKPAD'S NEWLY ESTABLISHED MOBILE PHONE BUSINESS DEPARTMENT AND CREATE AN EPOCH-MAKING SMARTPHONE FROM SCRATCH!

As soon as this mobile phone was put on the agenda, Yu Wenfei personally named it "TPhone".

This is also a mobile phone that Yuwenfei has high hopes for, and for this reason, many employees from Lenovo and THINKPAD Japan Design Center have been transferred to work in the mobile phone design department.

Because of the mature industrial design team acquired by IBM, there will be no problems in the shape, architecture, processing technology and other aspects of the mobile phone, but this new mobile phone department is also facing an important problem, that is, whether the core components are self-developed and self-produced or purchased!

If purchased, then TPhone will be no different from most mobile phones on the market, and it will be difficult to maintain a competitive advantage in the long term.

Therefore, Yuwenfei plans to come by himself, the most important chip in mobile phone components, at least to master the key technology by himself.

It's only 2004, and if you want to come up with this phone before the end of 2006, there are still three years to go.

For chips, Yuwenfei originally planned to acquire a chip company with mature technology, and then recruit some elites to continue research and development.

Just like Apple did in history.

In fact, Apple's own mobile phone chip was in 2008.

In that year, Apple, which planned to get rid of the dependence on chip design, acquired Semi to focus on ARM-based mobile chips, and only then did it have its own chip research and development technology.

Prior to this, all the components of Apple's mobile phones were purchased from other companies.

Yu Wenfei originally planned to cut off the beard and acquire the company in advance, but the news brought by Zhou Mengyi made him change his plan.

"WHEN YOU WENT TO THE UNITED STATES BEFORE THE NEW YEAR, DID YOU ASK MENGQI TO HELP YOU FIND SOME CHIP TECHNOLOGY TALENTS? WHEN SHE CALLED ME YESTERDAY, SHE SAID THAT SHE WAS HELPING YOU FIND A TOP MASTER, NAMED JIM KELLER. This person is the chief chip architect of Broadcom and has just left his job. Here's his resume, and you'll see if it's a good fit. ”

As she spoke, Zhou Mengyi took out a document from her bag and handed it to Yu Wenfei.

In fact, when she said the name "Jim Keller" and said that he had just resigned from the position of chief chip architect of Broadcom, Yu Wenfei no longer needed to look at this resume, he knew this person!

In the chip industry, it is more about teamwork, whether it is a desktop CPU or a mobile chip, the R&D team is hundreds or thousands of people.

This is a manifestation of collective wisdom!

But if there's one "superstar" in the industry, it's Jim Keller!

Jim Keller is a top chip architecture god, a master of instruction development, and a nickname "silicon immortal" by industry people.

In his more than 20 years in the industry, Jim Keller has gone back and forth between DEC, Broadcom, AMD, Apple, Intel, and Tesla, researching Alpha, x86, MIPS, AI and ARM, and participating in the design of several top chips in the field of electronics.

Of course, in 2004, he had not yet gone to Apple, Intel, and Tesla.

But at this time, he has already emerged in the chip industry, and he has just resigned from Broadcom, and he has been targeted by many chip companies.

"Pack up your things, let's fly to the United States immediately and take this person down!" Yu Wenfei said without hesitation.

"Ah, is this person so important?" Zhou Mengyi was a little puzzled, she had never seen Yu Wenfei so urgent, even when he acquired Blizzard's acquisition of IBM's personal computer business before, he had never seen him like this.

"More than that, if you want to achieve real success in the mobile phone industry, this Jim Keller can be described as the cornerstone of the empire!" Yu Wenfei chuckled.

Thousands of troops are easy to get and a general is hard to find, this Jim Keller is not only the concept of a "general", but can even be used as an excellent "commander"!

If you take Jim Keller down, and then buy a chip design company casually, and get a permanent license from ARM, then there may be nothing to do with Apple chips in the future.

............

So, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, Yu Wenfei, Zhou Mengyi, and Peier boarded the plane again and flew to the United States.

This time, he not only wanted to win Jim Keller, but also directly set up a chip research and development team.

From now on, officially enter the mobile phone industry!
