Chapter 284 Fist Chinese Heart, Yin Yin Repay the National Aspirations
Xu Xincheng nodded firmly, of course he wanted to know that to achieve that goal, Lucy needed to invest tens of billions of dollars, needed to recruit a large number of top chip talents, and also needed to purchase or develop a series of highest-end chip technologies by himself. It can be said that the difficulty of achieving this goal is really no less than climbing to the sky.
"Steve, let me tell you three important things first. First, although I became an American citizen, I have always considered myself a Chinese, a 100-year-old Chinese. The reason why I became an American citizen is only to start companies such as NewworldCapital and NewWorldi Estment in the United States, just to better and more smoothly realize my plan. As a Chinese, I certainly want to see a 'Chinese chip' in all of our company's products. Lucy said in a firm tone, her beautiful eyes full of sincere emotion.
For Lucy's words, Xu Xincheng first felt a little surprised, and then moved, in his cognition, Lucy has always been extremely rational, but in relation to personal national identity and national identity, she still shows a very emotional side, which is enough to show that her words are sincere.
Also, before, because of Lucy's Chinese-American identity, he couldn't help but feel a little estranged from her, and her words made him immediately feel that Lucy was a lot closer all of a sudden.
"Second, although Sino-US Xinfei is a Sino-US joint venture company, and New World Capital, which accounts for 70% of the company's shares, is an American-funded company, almost all the core management personnel in Sino-US Xinfei Company are and will be Chinese now. The reason why Chairman Lu Hongfei and I have made the US-funded New World Capital the controlling majority shareholder is so that our company can better explore the international market in the future and be listed on the NASDAQ in the United States more smoothly in the future.
Thirdly, I am the controlling shareholder of New World Capital, and as the controlling shareholder, I will keep most of the company's profits in China, stay in China for reinvestment, and use some of the funds for charity in China. ”
The second and third points Lucy said made Xu Xincheng overjoyed.
Previously, because Sino-US Xinfei Company was a Sino-US joint venture company, and American capital accounted for the absolute majority of the shares, he always felt that he was working more for the United States and creating value for the United States. He is definitely not a national chauvinist, but if he had a choice, he would certainly be willing to do more for China.
Moreover, he knows very well that there are many people in Hongfei's AI business department who have such thoughts, and the reason is actually very simple, that is, the vast majority of employees in the company have always followed a corporate creed. Whether it is Hongfei AI Division or Hongfei Company Headquarters, there is a common corporate creed, that is, "fist China's heart, industry to serve the country".
This corporate creed originated from the founders of the two companies, Chairman Lu Hongfei Lu and General Manager Li.
In a well-known business celebrity interview program, Chairman Lu said that the reason why he embarked on the arduous road of entrepreneurship back then was that he wanted to serve the country with industry, and his goal was to become an entrepreneur with family and country feelings, that is, to build a Chinese enterprise that can compete with the world's major well-known Internet companies and major high-tech companies.
As for General Manager Li, the reason why he went to the United States to study for graduate and doctoral studies, and also went to work in an Internet company in Silicon Valley, according to him, is to "master the skills of the master to control the country", all to learn real skills, and all to be able to return to China to serve the motherland in the future. Before he returned to China, his annual salary had exceeded 1 million US dollars, and it was very easy to apply for a green card in the United States, but he resolutely gave up everything there and resolutely chose to return to China.
He once told Xu Xincheng that the biggest reason why Chairman Lu was able to persuade him, and he was willing to take his lead, was that Chairman Lu's ambition to serve the country was stronger than him.
Both of them see that China is still far behind the United States and other Western countries in many high-tech fields such as artificial intelligence, and China must catch up to have a chance to catch up and surpass, and they are willing to contribute all their strength to it.
Well, Lucy's words just now made Xu Xincheng completely open that knot, which made him very happy and made him more determined to go all out for the goals and missions of Sino-American Xinfei Company.
He hurriedly said happily: "Lucy, what you just said completely opened a knot in my heart, and that knot ......"
"I know what you're talking about. In fact, when I first discussed with Chairman Lu Hongfei and Chairman Lu to establish Sino-US Xinfei Company, he did not agree to cooperate, let alone let New World Capital take 70% of the shares, because he also had such a knot. Later, I said something similar to what I had just said to him, and I emphasized the relevant matters in the cooperation agreement, and he readily agreed.
In fact, he also knows that only by adopting that kind of cooperation can the company's products go to the world smoothly and enter the markets of various countries around the world. He said that in the future, as long as all the company's products, whether non-core or core, are marked with the word 'madeinchina', as long as most of the profits created by the company remain in China, he is willing to cooperate, 100,000 willingly. ”
Xu Xincheng felt a sudden realization in his heart, what happened to be like this, he knew that Chairman Lu would not be easily shaken in that corporate creed, because it was his pure heart and ambition to serve the country.
He suddenly remembered a very important thing, and hurriedly asked: "Lucy, the reason why our company's name is called 'Zhongmei Xinfei Company', the reason why it is called 'Xinfei', and the reason why we have a Chinese name instead of an English name, is it also because you and Chairman Lu specially did it?"
"Yes. Lucy smiled lightly, "In the future, when customers all over the world buy our products, as ordinary consumers, they will not know whether our company is controlled by an American-funded company, they will only see the word 'xinfei', and they will only see the company name 'Xinfei', which is obviously a Chinese name." ”
"Great! Really great!" Xu Xincheng suddenly felt a stronger motivation to work, and at the same time, he felt that as long as the colleagues in the company heard what he had just heard, then their hearts would definitely be opened, and they would definitely have stronger motivation to work.
"Lucy, can I relay the three points you just said to General Manager Li, Director Qiao, and Director Zhang on the right occasion and at the right time, and even to all the employees of the company?"
