Chapter 667: Complementary Cooperation
Chen Geng most wanted to visit the Philips Semiconductor Division.
Many people may be unfamiliar with the Philips Semiconductor Division, but the strength of the Philips Semiconductor Division is simply scary: ASML, the world's largest lithography machine manufacturer that occupies a monopoly position in the market, is derived from the Philips Semiconductor Division, and NXP, the world's largest chip design and semiconductor company, is also from the Philips Semiconductor Division.
For Chen Geng's request, Philips Group naturally had no doubt and readily agreed.
After a visit, Chen Geng's biggest feeling about Philips is: the old giant is the old giant, even if the Thier computer of United Data Company has been sold to the world, and even the blue giant IBM and the new aristocratic Apple cannot raise their heads in the field of microcomputers, but in semiconductor technology, electronic circuit design and many other aspects, the gap between United Data Company and Philips is still unimaginable.
Just when Chen Geng was thinking about how to talk to Yang Timmer, it was Yang Timmer who couldn't help it: "Mr. Fernandez, I think our two companies have good complementarity in many aspects, maybe we can cooperate extensively in more and broader fields." ”
"Of course," Chen Geng nodded happily, and did not set a circle with Yang Timmer, everyone is not stupid, why do you want to visit Philips, and you want to visit Philips's semiconductor department by name? Philips Semiconductors has the most advanced semiconductor technology in the world today, and United Data Corporation is the largest and most advanced microcomputer company in the world today, and I think the two sides complement each other well in many ways. ”
"Yes, I think so too, our two companies have a good complementarity in many aspects," Yang Timmer nodded excitedly, after he guessed in his heart that Chen Geng came to visit Philips because he was willing to cooperate with Lipp in the field of semiconductors, but he guessed in his heart that it was one thing, and it was another thing in the end: "Well, we are very interested in cooperation in any field." ”
"Oh, that's it," Chen Geng nodded with a smile: "I do have a project, but I don't know if Philips is interested." ”
Before Jan Timmer could speak, Harber Zigestra, the head of the Philips Semiconductor Division, who was accompanying him, couldn't help it and asked eagerly: "Mr. Fernandez, can I ask what the project is?"
"Of course," Chen Geng didn't mind Harber Zigestra's stealing the show, and nodded: "You know, I am also a major shareholder of AMC. ”
"Yes, I know. Harber Zigestra nodded.
"I think that with the development of electronic technology and semiconductor technology, in the future, cars will inevitably become more and more electronic, and I hope to cooperate with Philips Semiconductors in these areas more extensively, such as the development of ABS control system, engine ECU control system and automatic transmission TCU control system, well...... Even vehicle networking systems and sensor systems ......"
Before Chen Geng finished speaking, Jan Timmer and Halber Zigestra's eyes were already getting brighter and brighter!
After deciding to agree to Chen Geng's request to visit, Philips did not wait, and immediately learned about the latest situation of Chen Geng's industry from the investigation and analysis company. In just a few years, the sales of various AMC cars have skyrocketed, and this year's sales are likely to exceed 1 million, which is much larger than the production capacity of many car manufacturers such as Wolfsburg Automobile Manufacturing Company, Fiat Group, Renault Group, Citroen Group, and Peugeot Group.
If we can establish a good business relationship with such a large automobile manufacturer, it is not easy to make tens of millions of dollars a year? If we really carry out all-round cooperation in ABS system, ECU system, TCU system, and even automotive sensor and body network technology, as he Fernandez said, it is not impossible to make hundreds of millions of dollars a year.
That's big business!
Finally, after Chen Geng finished speaking, Jan Timmer couldn't wait to say: "Mr. Fernandez, please believe in the development strength of Philips Semiconductors in automotive semiconductor systems, we have the experience of cooperating with Citroen and Renault to develop ECU technology and products, I assure you that we must be the best." ”
"Okay, okay, of course I don't have any doubts about the strength of Philips Semiconductor," Chen Geng nodded again and again with a smile, and threw out another bait: "If the cooperation between the two sides goes smoothly, we can also cooperate in the field of microcomputers." ”
Jan Timmer and Halber Zigestra became more and more excited: Isn't Chen Geng's meaning obvious? Don't talk about those who have and don't, let me see the strength of your Philips Semiconductors, if your strength is like that, then of course there is no need to say anything, but if your strength is really outstanding, then we will expand the scope of cooperation.
Next up is the world's largest North American market!
Thinking of this, Jan Timmer, who has always wanted to enter North America, was so excited that he had to swing.
"Oh, by the way," after saying this, Chen Geng suddenly remembered something: "I have a very good friend, you should have heard her name, it is Karen Carpenter, she is also your Polygram record signed artist." ”
"Miss Cullen? Yes, of course, Miss Cullen is the flagship representative of American country music, of course I have heard of her, in fact she is my favorite female artist, there is no one, her voice fascinates me deeply, and her legendary rise process moves me even more," Yang Timmer nodded again and again, Chen Geng said to this point, how could Yang Timmer not know what he meant? Cullen had previously told me that he was going to create a big album for Miss Cullen......"
Cullen, the current president of Polygram Records.
They have almost the world's most famous artists and orchestras in this era: the world's three major tenors Pavarotti, Domingo and Carreras are all signed to PolyGram, and the most prestigious music conductors Karajan, Abbado, Seiji Ozawa and other famous music conductors are also signed to PolyGram, and the top music orchestras Vienna Philharmonic, Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra and Amsterdam Orchestra are also signed to PolyGram.
After entering the 90s, Polygram Records successively acquired record companies such as A&M, Moton in the United States and Island in the United Kingdom, forming a monopoly on the global record market.
In addition, in addition to having branches in Europe and the United States, and signing contracts with artists in the countries where they are located, PolyGram is also deeply involved in the Asian market.
Although Jan Timmer didn't know if Polygram Records had plans to create a tailor-made album for Karen Carpenter, it didn't matter, the important thing was that for Philips Semiconductors, the U.S. market was important, and that was enough!
Chen Geng smiled and waved his hand: "Thank you very much Mr. Kulun, but I didn't mean that." ”
That's not what you meant?Chen Geng's words made Yang Timmer stunned.
Chen Geng then explained: "I mean, Miss Cullen is very happy to work with PolyCrystal Records now, but in the future, Miss Cullen's work will probably be more focused on the film industry, so can PolyGene give Miss Cullen a more lenient contract?"
That's it?
Chen Geng was a little surprised by the request, but it was not a problem at all, and Yang Timmer nodded happily: "Of course there is no problem, I will call Cullen when I go back, please be sure to respect Miss Cullen's opinion and provide Miss Cullen with the most relaxed working environment...... Ha ha...... I'd like to hear more of Miss Cullen's songs. ”
