SMIC has changed its name to Ark Technology and is registered in the Cayman Islands.

Li Delei holds 14.9% of the shares, Li Dejing holds 43.79 shares, Song Weiyang holds 20.71 shares, Zhongwei Industrial holds 15.6% of the shares, and China Soft Park Development Company holds 5% of the shares.

Li Dejing, the largest shareholder, is Li Delei's brother, and most of the shares he holds are obtained by squeezing out entrepreneurial partners. Now Li Delei is the fourth largest shareholder and president, his younger brother Li Dejing is the largest shareholder and vice president, and his maternal uncle Wang Xiaosu serves as the company's financial director.

Song Weiyang went north to the capital again, and instead of running directly to pick up the plate, he summoned Li Xiaofeng, director of Ark Technology.

Li Xiaofeng used to be an executive of Shenzhou Technology, and was sent by Song Weiyang to Ark Technology as a shareholder representative. He was thrilled to think he was about to reach the pinnacle of his life, but now he felt like a match. His former colleagues in Shenzhou Technology have all become majestic, but he is half-dead stationed in Ark Technology.

"Boss!" Li Xiaofeng greeted respectfully, his real thought in his heart was actually a request to return to Shenzhou Technology.

"Sit down," Song Weiyang didn't talk nonsense, and asked straight to the point, "Some time ago, the media was full of rumors that Ark Technology had misappropriated the 863 project fund. Is there such a thing?"

Li Xiaofeng shook his head and said, "No." Borrowing him Li Delei ten guts, he did not dare to embezzle the funds of the 863 project. ”

Song Weiyang asked: "Then last year, Ark Technology was about to go out of business, but now it is suddenly building a large number of buildings, where does the money for the construction of the building come from?"

Li Xiaofeng said: "The land was obtained three years ago, and the star enterprise was discounted at half price, and only paid 1 million yuan for the first payment. At that time, the company was busy developing chips and had no money to break ground to build a building, so the land has been deserted there. Until the end of last year, Zhongguancun Software Park Development Company couldn't sit still and injected 50 million yuan to get 5% of the shares of Ark. The side requirement is that the money can only be used to build the building, of which 20 million will be returned to the software park to pay for the land purchase. ”

"30 million is enough to build a building?" Song Weiyang said.

Li Xiaofeng said: "The ark mortgaged the land and borrowed another 30 million, a total of 60 million yuan for the construction of the building. It's not high, only a few floors are built, and 60 million yuan is enough. ”

Song Weiyang said: "In other words, there is no problem with the building funds of Ark Technology?"

"There must be no problem, otherwise the Ministry of Science and Technology can sit idly by?" Li Xiaofeng said.

Song Weiyang asked: "What do you think of Li Delei?"

Li Xiaofeng said: "This person is calculating and keen on fighting for power and profit. But he is short-sighted, easily swayed by emotions, and can say anything unpleasant when he is angry. He even publicly commented that the 'Ark 3' chip was shit, which made everyone in Zhongguancun know about it. How can a boss scold his own products like this? What does this make the R&D personnel think? Just two months ago, Li Jie, the leader of the 'Ark 3' project team, resigned and left with all the core team. ”

In another time and space, the person in charge of the development of the Ark chip is Liu Qiang. But Liu Qiang has long been poached by Shenzhou Technology, and is now the chief engineer of Shenzhou's chip department. Through Academician Ni, Ark Technology invited Li Jie from the Chinese Academy of Sciences to be responsible for the development of Ark chips (Li Jie and Liu Qiang are classmates).

"The entire chip development team is finished?" Song Weiyang asked.

Li Xiaofeng said: "The core members are all gone, but there are still some engineers who specialize in outsourcing projects. ”

"Outsourcing?" said Song Weiyang.

"Well," Li Xiaofeng nodded, "At the end of last year, major government agencies refused to purchase NC machines, and Ark Technology lost more than 95% of its orders. The company was on the verge of bankruptcy, and Li Delei began to do outsourcing, and the main project was to make PHS chips. Now the PHS on the Chinese market, except for the self-developed chips used by PHS, most of the PHS of other brands are using chips designed by Ark Technology. ”

Song Weiyang asked, "How is the business going?"

Li Xiaofeng smiled bitterly: "Of course you want to die or not live." PHS is not easy to sell now, let alone do the outsourcing project of PHS chips. ”

PHS is indeed in a bad market situation now, because low-end phones are too cheap, and PHS has lost its price advantage. Then you can only look for advantages from the phone bill, buy PHS to send phone bills, almost equal to zero yuan to buy a phone, and a variety of packages are free to call - telecom (Netcom) companies will subsidize PHS manufacturers, or simply telecom (Netcom) customized machine.

Shenzhou Technology has decided to sell PHS business in a package, and several domestic companies are willing to take over, and negotiations are currently ongoing.

Song Weiyang said: "I heard that all the customers brought by Academician Ni were scolded by Li Delei. Why did he do this? Is it really as the newspaper said, Li Delei only accepts government orders and looks down on small orders from private enterprises?"

"I didn't understand this matter at the time, and I thought it was Li Delei who swelled in the face of various honors," Li Xiaofeng said, "Looking back now, it was all Li Delei's struggle for power and profit." ”

"Tell me about it. Song Weiyang said.

Li Xiaofeng said: "The predecessor of Ark Technology was co-founded by Li Delei and Harbin Institute of Technology alumni. He used Academician Ni to get through government relations, and at a critical moment, let his own brother drive away the previous shareholders, and the combined equity of the two brothers achieved absolute control. But he faced two other potential opponents, one was Academician Ni, who helped the company build relationships, and the other was Li Jie, who was in charge of chip research and development. In order to divide the opponent, when Li Delei had dinner with Academician Ni, he said that Li Jie was his son-in-law. When Li Delei and Academician Ni had a bad relationship, Academician Ni also alienated Li Jie. I only found out about this matter when I chatted with Academician Ni a few days ago. ”

"What about scolding customers?" Song Weiyang asked.

Li Xiaofeng said: "When Ark Technology was just founded, it all relied on Academician Ni to appeal, without taking a penny or asking for a single share. But Li Delei lived the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and he was afraid that Academician Ni would get involved in the company one day, so after the company was on the right track, he deliberately disagreed with Academician Ni. But as long as Academician Ni brought in customers, he put on a face for others, and made all the customers angry, so that Academician Ni couldn't get off the stage. What kind of temper is Academician Ni? He was so angry that he no longer cared about the affairs of Ark Technology. ”

"Gong Dou is a good hand. Song Weiyang said with a smile.

Li Xiaofeng said: "Since the anger of Academician Ni, orders from private enterprises, no matter how small the list is, Li Delei will accept it, and he is not a fool." However, Li Delei has already ruined his reputation, even if there is no restriction of the Wintel Alliance, it is estimated that there are not many customers willing to cooperate. At that time, there was a company called Yuxing Technology, and Academician Ni finally brought in an order. Yuxing Technology invested millions of yuan to abandon Intel and switch to the Ark chip camp. The deal was negotiated, and Li Delei suddenly refused to supply. Because Yuxing Technology believed in Academician Ni, he didn't sign a contract at all when he talked about cooperation, and Li Delei's breach of the contract hurt their vitality, and they almost didn't recover because of it. ”

Li Delei has done this kind of thing several times, and he has messed around with all the customers introduced by Academician Ni.

The most important thing to bypass the Wintel alliance to make chips and systems is to establish an industry ecology. Like Li Delei, how can the industry ecology be built? All the companies that support him have been cheated by him!

Song Weiyang asked: "How does Li Delei plan to develop?"

Li Xiaofeng said: "He has actually completely given up on the research and development of the 'Ark 3' chip, after all, the core development team has run away. However, the Ministry of Science and Technology has just allocated more than 10 million project funds, and this money cannot be used indiscriminately, so just call a few engineers to fool around, and you have to spend the money anyway. ”

Song Weiyang said: "What about the company's future route?"

Li Xiaofeng said: "First, do outsourcing to make quick money. Second, the development of other commercial chips. Third, engage in real estate. To be honest, I agree with Li Delei's idea, and continuing to make NC chips is a dead end. The key now is that the cowhide of the NC chip has been blown, and more than a dozen ministries have sent representatives to congratulate it. ”

Song Weiyang nodded and said, "It's really impossible to end it, so someone through Academician Ni wants to ask me to help clean up the mess." ”

Li Xiaofeng hurriedly dissuaded: "It's useless for anyone to come, the 863 project is not so easy to do." Take the 'Ark 3' project as an example, the above allocation is 15.38 million yuan, and the salary of scientific research personnel shall not exceed 15% according to the regulations. On average, the more than 60 engineers involved in chip research and development only earn more than 2,000 yuan per month. How is this possible? Rumors from the outside world that Ark Technology embezzled scientific research funds are pure nonsense, and the funding for Ark 1 and 2 is even less, and it is all up to the company to put money into it, and there is no money to move if you want to. ”

"The Ark 3 project can be moved, the development team is gone, and the rest of the money is spent as you like. Song Weiyang said with a smile.

Li Xiaofeng said: "I mean, with your current net worth, boss, there is no need to touch the 863 project, let alone the 863 fund." If you do a good job, you should be, and if you don't do it well, you will be infamy, and it is clear that the funds are not enough at all, and people will be suspicious of whether the funds have been misappropriated. Moreover, the Ministry of Science and Technology has determined that it will be an NC market, which has no prospects, and the mess of Ark Technology is not easy to accept. Boss, you better transfer me back to Shenzhou Technology, there is really no hope on the Ark's side, and giving up as soon as possible is the most reasonable choice. ”

"There are some things that you still can't see through," Song Weiyang said, "I will spend money to take over the loss-making business, and I will definitely get a tenfold and hundredfold return in the future." Wiping someone's butt is also a technical job, and it must be wiped beautifully, otherwise many people will stick to their butt shit. ”

Li Xiaofeng said: "I understand a little, what does the chairman want me to do?"

Song Weiyang said: "You help me contact Zhongguancun Software Park Development Company, such a good piece of land, wouldn't it be a waste to build only a few floors." After I take over Ark Technology, I will have to build at least thirty or fifty floors of it as an office building, and earn back the money I threw out with interest. ”
