Spreadtrum Communications is now mainly domestic and Silicon Valley, and the elites recruited from Canada's Nortel Network will also be relocated to Silicon Valley, although the labor cost may be a little higher, but it is convenient to manage, and the comprehensive cost is calculated, maybe it will save a lot. There are also Modu in China, Yanjing (which acquired Lianxin and has a strategic cooperative relationship with Datang Telecom), Shenshi and Rongcheng.

Spreadtrum Communications recently acquired an iFi chip company in Yanjing, and is also preparing to join forces with Datang Telecom to acquire Nortel's wireless division, the future of iFi is almost ubiquitous, even in the era of the Internet of Things, iFi is an indispensable part, so this investment is a must. It also acquired a start-up team called Allwinner in Zhuhai and is launching the first chip for Guoke's tablet. The company was originally engaged in the development of digital players MP4 and power management chips, but Spreadtrum acquired this small company with strong technical strength in order to be in a hurry. It can be said that it is now driving at full speed and moving forward desperately. On the premise that the country has not yet stabilized, is it too anxious to go to Israel in a hurry? Li Liyou is worried about this.

However, Spreadtrum Communications also has a technical partnership with an Israeli company called Ceva, a publicly traded semiconductor intellectual property company specializing in DSP (Programmable Digital Signal Processor) processor technology, licensing a range of programmable digital signal processor (DSP) cores and dedicated platforms for vision, imaging, audio and voice, and communications technologies, including wireless and wired modems, i-Fi, Bluetooth and Serial ATA, and Serial Connected SCSI. In other words, Spreadtrum still knows a little about Israel, and if it must carry out activities there, it will not be clueless. But there is no suitable person for the most critical technical leader, and this person must not only have the technology, but preferably the Jews, after all, there is Israel, a Jewish state in the Middle East that is constantly threatened by war.

Zhou Shi knew that there was no way to find Li Liyou, so he had to entrust a headhunter in Silicon Valley, but fortunately, the talent density here is second to none in the world, and it should be easy to find a suitable candidate.

The headhunters have not yet given a candidate, and a second-year teenager with oily hair and flour noodles found Zhou Shi. A rich second generation who is a little older than him, David Ellison found Zhou Shi.

"Hello, Simon!" David, who was familiar with him, hurriedly greeted Zhou Shi when he saw him

"Uh, hello, you're David, right?" Zhou Shi

"yes, I am! Hear Larry say, you can get me to invest in Marvel superhero movies, right?"

Zhou Shi was speechless, you haven't helped me get things done, you have to pay the price, and you want me to take care of this bear child, really.

"Yes, while Marvel is not short of money right now, we welcome other investments to join us. Zhou Shi's words are not wrong, Disney did not deduct funds from Marvel Film and Television. The big sales of the Incredible Hulk and Iron Man have greatly eased Marvel's funds. The only pity is that there are too many copyrights left out, and with the popularity of Marvel heroes, the possibility of recovering those copyrights is becoming less and less.

"That's great, I like Marvel very much, I like the superheroes in it, can you take me to see it?"

MD, Zhou Shicai doesn't believe that a super-rich son like him will have no way to visit Marvel, you must know that their long-term market value is less than $1 billion, where would such a small company be in the eyes of a madman like Oracle Larry Ellison.

Zhou Shi didn't have anything to do, he hadn't been to Marvel for a long time, and he just took the opportunity to find out about the situation.

During the financial crisis, Marvel also cut back on spending, in addition to expanding the peripherals of last year's two movies, only "Thor" is now in production, and strive to be released next year. The next film has not yet started to be planned, and it is necessary to further observe the changes in the market. Despite their initial successes, they did not dare to be radical. In addition to the official communication centers on Friends.com, Twitter and YouTube, we have recently opened an official Facebook account to expand the channels of communication with fans. This is also Zhou Shi's greatest contribution to Marvel, and his first-step publicity ideas and communication channels are the guarantee of the success of Marvel movies. Kevin Feige also said that in the communication with fans, he got more sense of accomplishment and gained a lot of suggestions for improvement.

Larry's bear child is obviously not very mature now, and he seems to admire Zhou Shi very much, and has said a few words of compliment, but seeing Zhou Shi's consumption level, such as his car Saab car, a sense of pride emerges spontaneously.

"Simon, you won't buy a car, or I'll give you a Shelby Supercars" David Ellison said generously, even if you have money, I use a more expensive car than you.

"What kind of car is this, and how much does it cost?" Not to mention that Zhou Shi only knows a few major car companies about cars, even after he acquired Saab, he also knows less about foreign car brands. What is a luxury car, his pursuit has never been this.

"With a top speed of 411.76 km/h, this car is the fastest sports car in the world, with a sci-fi appearance and full of attacking power. It is a representative of the American spirit of speed and power. Sold for more than $7 million!" David Ellison

"Oh, how much is this company worth?" Zhou Shi asked again

"What's the matter, his company? I don't know. "David

"That's a pity, I saw if I could buy this company before I bought a car, such as Saab Motors, and we bought it. "Zhou Shi

David Ellison was suddenly hit by tens of millions of pounds, Simon's invisible pretense is too powerful, I really shouldn't brag in front of him.

came to Marvel speechlessly all the way, and he didn't dare to brag about Larry Ellison's MiG-29, after all, a flat fighter has nothing to brag about. This wasn't before 9/11, and it was impossible for Larry Ellison to let himself go again!

Kevin Feige warmly received Zhou Shi and asked someone to come over to accompany the rich second generation of the bear child to the company, and the two talked.

"What does this rich second generation want to do?" Kevin

"If you want to invest in our superhero, I think he's wronged, so I'll bring it here, you decide for yourself. Zhou Shi didn't say that he had an agreement with Larry Ellison, just investing in movies, there is nothing to refuse, at most, I will be more confident in the future, Marvel movies don't need external investment. Now in this general situation, with Zhou Shi's invisible guarantee, and refusing investors when funds are needed, Marvel should not be so awesome. After all, these people only have a share of box office revenue, and the subsequent copyright income has nothing to do with them. This is the case with Zhou Shi's investment in Batman and Avatar.

"Okay, I got it. There's one thing you need to pay attention to lately, though. Kevin Feige suddenly whispered, "Someone seems to be contacting the majority shareholder of the company to buy Marvel, and I don't know who it is." ”

MMP, what's going on, can't you let him live in peace? But you can't blame others, contrarian investment is the only way to expand the industry.
