235 Prom
The two talked for another half an hour, Zhang Zhongmou got up and left, he didn't agree directly, but wanted to think about it himself. Xu Zhi also knew that such a thing was a turning point in anyone's life, so it was naturally impossible to agree easily.
The next day, Xu Zhi participated in the cooperation meeting with Deyi Company, Midea and Deyi signed a memorandum of understanding of up to 60 million US dollars in a contract, and also obtained a large number of basic patent authorizations from Deyi Company, Midea Company is about to enter the computer field, and some patent authorizations must be obtained in advance.
Such a major contract naturally called for a celebratory party, and Deyi was naturally very generous after receiving a huge order, and held a celebratory meeting at the most exclusive hotel in the area.
For this kind of party, Xu Zhi actually didn't have much interest, but he still had to give face, at 7 o'clock in the evening, at the door of the Intercontinental Hotel, a Rolls-Royce slowly stopped in front of the main entrance.
Xu Zhi opened the car door and walked out, on the other side, a woman also got out of the car, wearing a white long skirt and low-cut women's clothes, she looked even more pale, and came to Xu Zhi after turning around the car.
"Mr. Xu, is this your girlfriend?" At the door of the hotel, Zhang Zhongmou had already come to greet him.
"No, I'm just a temporary dance partner!" said the dressed-woman preemptively.
This is Xiao Qing, a graduate student at the University of Dallas Business School. Xu Zhi introduced with a smile.
Midea has branches in New York and Los Angeles, but not in Dallas, the headquarters of Texas Instruments, after knowing that the chairman and general manager are coming, the head of the branch immediately rushed to Dallas, and hired a person who knows the local area as a temporary escort at the most well-known local university with a high salary, and the main job is to accompany the play, which is Xiao Qing.
At the cocktail party in the United States, even if high school students participate, they will bring a dance partner, Xiao Qing can be selected by the person in charge of the branch, naturally the conditions are not bad in all aspects, Xu Zhi also invited her to participate in this party.
Zhang Zhongmou didn't understand the situation, so he asked casually, but Xiao Qing obviously had a very high emotional intelligence, so he immediately answered.
Zhang Zhongmou also nodded and said, "Several, the above drinking party is ready, please!"
This time, of course, the cooperation between the two companies will not only involve itself, the mayor of Dallas also rushed over in person, and many media also participated, but this kind of thing on the table naturally does not require Xu Zhi to participate too much, and after a few polite words with the mayor, Xu Zhi stepped aside and ate his small cake with peace of mind.
"Mr. Xu, do you want to go dancing?" Xiao Qing obviously liked the environment here, delicate crystal earrings, light makeup, and bewitching style appeared prematurely on this twenty-two or three-year-old woman.
"I won't. Xu Zhi shrugged and said.
Xiao Qing gently took Xu Zhi's hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Xu, with your identity, you will definitely participate in this kind of party often in the future, and you can't dance!"
In this kind of dance venue, it is naturally impossible to pull people in reverse, Xu Zhi also intended to feel the fun of dancing, and said with a smile: "Why not?"
"The ball is the most relaxed place to socialize, where we can find relief from our busy lives. Xiao Qing danced and explained.
"Our company's products are also designed to make things easier for people, and it seems that I have to experience them as well. Xu Zhi said with a smile.
Xiao Qing said: "Then maybe Mr. Xu's company can also develop a dancing game." ”
Xu Zhidao: "You can consider it!"
......
After a dance, Xu Zhi smiled and said, "Are your feet okay?"
Xiao Qing said: "It's okay, but Mr. Xu's dance steps still need to be improved?"
Because Xu Zhi didn't know how to dance at all, he stepped on Xiao Qing a few times in just a few minutes.
Xu Zhi smiled: "I won't stay in Dallas for a long time, so after the prom, I wonder if Miss Xiao is free to teach me this layman tonight?"
Xiao Qing said: "Very happy!"
"Mr. Xu, can you talk about it?" Zhang Zhongmou walked up to Xu Zhi and said incomprehensibly.
"I'll go to the bathroom first!" Xiao Qing finished and left.
Xu Zhidao: "It's not suitable for talking here, let's go to the balcony." ”
This conference hall at the InterContinental Hotel has 3 balconies, and from the balcony you can see the whole of Dallas at night.
"Mr. Xu, if I promise you, I don't know what kind of position I will have in Midea's company?" Zhang Zhongmou asked directly.
Xu Zhidao: "In the internal position of Midea, you are He Guoyuan's subordinate, and you belong to the first echelon of my company, but the newly established semiconductor company directly obeys my orders, and the management of Midea company can't control you." ”
Zhang Zhongmou was a little curious and asked, "Why is it arranged like this?"
Xu Zhi explained: "It's very simple, because Midea Electronics itself has a large number of orders, but it doesn't mean that all these orders will be given to you.
Of course, in the first few years, the tilt of orders is not a problem, but in the future, if new semiconductor companies want to get orders, they will have to rely on their own price and quality to obtain new orders from Midea. And I would prefer that the new semiconductor companies will get a higher share of the external orders. ”
"It's a really new approach. Zhang Zhongmou frowned and said.
Xu Zhidao: "Many American companies are actually facing this problem now, because the semiconductor factory and the head office are one, with internal orders, hanging half-dead, losing money every year, but there is no momentum to move forward."
However, as a brother company, there are still some obvious benefits, at least Midea will give preference to you, and you can also know the specific requirements and order volume of Midea to a certain extent. ”
The most unmotivated time for a company is that it does not need to worry about the market, which is the case with monopoly state-owned enterprises in many countries, and in the future, Midea Electronics is about to enter the field of personal computers, and the demand for semiconductors such as chips will inevitably increase, and even new semiconductor companies cannot keep up with the requirements, but this kind of nepotistic orders will destroy the R & D and cost control capabilities of semiconductor companies.
Xu Zhi needs a company with strong R&D capabilities and production capacity, and TSMC in later generations, although it will support new enterprises, but it also has high requirements for the company's cost control, after all, it will soon come to the moment when Japanese companies are rampant all over the world, and after entering the 90s and the new century, Samsung is the nemesis of all semiconductor industries.
TSMC in later generations can contain Samsung to a certain extent, but it is also because it grew up in various difficult adversities in the early stage. If Xu Zhi gives too many orders now, the entrepreneurial process will be too easy, and Zhang Zhongmou may not be able to rise successfully again.
"Then how much power do I have?" Zhang Zhongmou looked at Xu Zhi with blazing eyes.
"Under normal circumstances, everything is up to you, and I will only arrange for someone to check the finances. Xu Zhi said: "Including the future profits of the company, but if there are special circumstances, I still need to intervene, but not to manage the right, but to a certain extent to cooperate with the global strategic development of many of my companies." ”
"That's fine. Zhang Zhongmou said: "I will recruit a group of Chinese engineers and management in the United States, and if I want to bring these people back to Wanwan, I am afraid that the salary will not be less!"
"No problem, the more the merrier. Xu Zhi agreed with a smile.
