Volume IV Section 67 Poems and Distances, Entrepreneurs and Merchants

Handing Sha Zhengyang a glass of red wine, Duan Yongming motioned for the two to step aside.

Today is a gathering within Gaosheng Electronics, which is a small celebration after Gaosheng Electronics is on the right track.

The banquet was held at the Wanzhou Hotel, although the Hanjiang International Hotel was more suitable, but Duan Yongming still decided to entertain guests from all walks of life in the Wanzhou Hotel with a government nature.

In addition to some internal management personnel, it also includes several shareholders and some partners, such as the heads of channel providers and supply chains.

On the shareholders' side, including Huafeng, the municipal government invited Vice Mayor Chen Xiuqing, but Chen Xiuqing arrived a little late for some reason.

This kind of buffet-like banquet still seems relatively cold, but it is very free, not so restrictive, and you can freely choose who you talk to.

"How about it, is the information I provided accurate?" Sha Zhengyang knew what Duan Yongming wanted to say.

"Well, there is indeed a big disagreement within Lenovo, but it seems to be within the controllable range. ”

Duan Yongming was full of interest, for more than a month, Gaosheng Electronics was on the right track, the telephone project was the first to be completed and put into production, and the momentum was also created, and the channel construction was very smooth, which made him very satisfied.

"It will soon become clear that this kind of indistinguishable distinction will make the business worse, the long pain is better than the short pain, and the wrong decision is better than not making no decision. Sha Zhengyang shook his head, "This is a battle of routes, and we must make a decision as soon as possible." ”

"You've already guessed the result?" Duan Yongming's words were a little curious.

"Undoubtedly, didn't you also guess the result?" Sha Zhengyang said with a smile: "It's hard to say who is right and who is wrong, it's just that the character and the character you are in are forced to make decisions that are in line with your inner choice." ”

"Even if Lian wants to take the road of commercial assembly and production, it doesn't necessarily have to give up the path of technology research and development, right?" Duan Yongming asked a question that he knew the answer to.

"You should also know how much investment in technology research and development is that for Lenovo now, it must be distracted, of course, the most important thing is that it has no confidence in continuing to engage in independent research and development, which is the key. Sha Zhengyang said lightly.

"You have confidence in this?" This is what Duan Yongming wanted to ask Sha Zhengyang.

He knows very well how much investment is required to independently develop chips, although he has not been involved in much knowledge before, but during this period of time, he has also obtained information through various channels, analyzed and studied the industry, and has realized the difficulty.

"Well, because I can see the future. Sha Zhengyang said a truth that no one would believe.

Duan Yongming laughed.

It's funny, but I mean it. Sha Zhengyang continued: "The architecture of Lianhai Microelectronics Design Center has been set up, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Fudan University, and Changjiang Group are all interested, the key is Lenovo, which should be a commercial design center supported by the government, and it will take the road of commercialization, maybe there will be a lot of investment in the early stage, and even the light will not be seen, but I think it is worth it, and I believe you can also see this." ”

"Oh, Zhengyang, I'm a businessman. Duan Yongming replied intriguingly.

"No, the word businessman can only represent part of it, you should be an entrepreneur, I believe that an aspiring entrepreneur should do something and not do something, if you are only quite a businessman who simply makes money, you will not leave Bawang Electronics. Sha Zhengyang responded.

"It's too hard to be a pure entrepreneur. Duan Yongming thought thoughtfully.

"So we have to balance the scale before entrepreneurs and businessmen, but I think it's fundamental to be a good entrepreneur. Sha Zhengyang smiled, "You are not fighting alone, there are still some people in this world who can see the distance, and some people are willing to fight for their ideals." ”

Sha Zhengyang feels like a philosopher, constantly pouring chicken soup for the soul to the other party.

Duan Yongming glanced at Sha Zhengyang deeply, and he felt that he felt like he couldn't see through the person in front of him.

Sometimes this person looks like an old bureaucrat, sometimes he looks like a passionate idealist, sometimes he looks more like a scheming business strategist, and the mix of these different roles in such a young man of only 25 years old feels a little out of place.

But if not, why did this guy persuade himself to come to Wanzhou, and even at this time, many of his subordinates were still puzzled why they would accept such an invitation to come to Wanzhou, although they also admitted that the current situation is also very good.

"Zhengyang, I think you should have studied it carefully, now the chip technology of the United States is basically invincible, the gap between us and the other party cannot be counted in the Dao, to catch up with the Americans, the difficulty is very high, and the probability of failure is very high. Duan Yongming said calmly.

"Is Duan afraid of challenges, afraid of failure? If there is no challenging work, what is the point?" Sha Zhengyang asked rhetorically.

"I'm not afraid of a challenge, on the contrary, I'm willing to take on it, but if there's no challenge with a chance of winning, I'll have to think about it. Duan Yongming ignored Sha Zhengyang's agitation method.

"Well, then Ah Duan, do you really think there is no chance of winning at all?" A smile appeared on the corner of Sha Zhengyang's mouth, "Intel dares to indulge AMD's existence, isn't it possible for us to challenge the whole country?"

Duan Yongming and Sha Zhengyang have discussed this issue many times, and their opinions have gradually converged, but Duan Yongming is not like Sha Zhengyang after all, and he can't see so far in the future, so Sha Zhengyang also tries to arouse Duan Yongming's confidence by describing and outlining.

"Zhengyang, the power of the whole country is exaggerated, haven't you been emphasizing that this is a commercial behavior?" Duan Yongming asked rhetorically.

"It is not possible to make a commercial product by relying solely on the power of the government, and only under the commercial rules can we really make market-oriented products, but government procurement is still part of market behavior, and we should strive for this piece to support commercialization." Sha Zhengyang shook his head, "If you are too obsessed with this, it is not a real market economy, and the US government does not also have government procurement, and will give priority to domestic products in specific fields." ”

"The question is, can we win the support of this part of the government?" Duan Yongming expressed deep doubts.

"A Duan, we have never been based on the luxury of the national government to give us much support, our ideas can only be based on themselves, the IC industry is quite huge, there are many classifications, such as low-end chip design, mainly used for smart chips on major appliances, its design difficulty is much lower, and for our domestic market is also extremely large. ”

Sha Zhengyang can understand Duan Yongming's worries, after all, the other party and his team members have spent tens of millions of real money in Gaosheng Electronics, and it is indeed very risky to venture into the field of chip design and manufacturing that is obviously a bit like a risk or even a little like Don Quixote's approach in their eyes, and he must dispel these concerns of the other party.

"To put it mildly, even if we can't compete with Intel and AMD in the mid-to-high-end chip design, but the various MCU processors needed by major appliances, RF chips in mobile phones and base stations have relatively low requirements for design and manufacturing, at least we should have our own say in this area, and the profits of these pieces are relatively rich, when we can make gains in these pieces, we may be able to support our pursuit of high-end chips. ”

Duan Yongming moved slightly.

Sha Zhengyang saw that the other party was a little moved, and further said: "Duan, otherwise, I know your worries, but I have put a lot of effort into thinking about this point, and I have been paying attention to Lianhai Microelectronics Design Center for a long time, from Lenovo, Fudan Microelectronics Center and Changjiang Group's talent reserves, Fudan Microelectronics Center is actually Fudan's integrated circuit and system laboratory, these talents are enough to support such a chip design center." ”

"So I think the first shot is the MPEG decoding chip, I believe that the microelectronics design center can solve this technical problem in a relatively short period of time, to provide us with this confidence support, presumably after this step out, can you have some confidence, right?" Sha Zhengyang said.

Duan Yongming smiled bitterly, "Zhengyang, you have said everything to this point, what else can I say? If I Duan Yongming still don't dare to gamble to this extent, I just don't want to be a business, let's say, what are you going to do?"

"Well, my preliminary idea is that Huafeng, Dongfanghong, and Gaosheng will jointly fund to replace Lenovo and win the Lianhai Microelectronics Center, and the talent and technical reserves that originally belonged to Lenovo can be converted into shares by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Fudan University and Changjiang Group can also be retained, which will help this company open up the market in Hujiang in the future. ”

Sha Zhengyang looked very confident, obviously thinking about this point a long time ago.

"Dongfanghong wants to join in?" Duan Yongming was slightly surprised.

"Sanyo Ruosi Electric is a holding company of Dongfanghong, and the demand for home appliance chips will not be small in the future, and it is only beneficial to enter the upstream field in advance. Sha Zhengyang explained, "What, was it an accident?"

"Of course it's good, welcome, but how to calculate the amount and proportion of capital contribution?" Duan Yongming was even more sure, with Dongfanghong, a big financier, joining in, it would be much easier to do, he was worried that Gaosheng Electronics would have a gap in funds, but he didn't expect Sha Zhengyang to have no intention of letting Gaosheng Electronics bear too much.

As for the issue of share ratio, it still needs to be discussed with the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Fudan and the Yangtze River Group, but if there is a gap, Dongfanghong can also consider increasing capital. Sha Zhengyang's tone was firm and full of confidence.

Duan Yongming gasped, which showed that Sha Zhengyang was very optimistic about the future of this Lianhai Microelectronics Design Center.
