Xiong Baizhou's charisma is beyond reproach, and he is indeed the controlling shareholder of the largest home appliance retail chain in southern China, the behind-the-scenes owner of a new electronics factory, reportedly with other businesses, and a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference in Yuecheng.

This is the result of the telephone communication across the ocean just now, Abel does not understand what kind of position the "CPPCC member" is, Shen Liqing explained it on the phone, but the vice president of Qualcomm still can't understand.

"It is a senior member of society who has the right to advise on all official and non-governmental actions in Yuecheng. Shen Liqing tried his best to explain again in a short and easy-to-understand popular sentence.

"Isn't it a bit like a city councillor in the United States?" Abel asked over the phone.

Chinese members of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and city councilors in the United States are essentially different beings, but they do have some similarities in their responsibilities.

"Forget it, it's kind of similar. Shen Liqing said simply.

She worries that the more she talks, the more confused she becomes, in fact, most Chinese now cannot understand which four sets of "four sets of teams" are, let alone the Yankees on the other side.

So Xiong Baizhou's identity outline is becoming more and more obvious, he is an official businessman with a certain influence in Yuecheng, and Qualcomm took the initiative to invite others to visit and discuss the chip business, but the components department does not pay much attention to it.

Abel can probably understand Amer's thoughts, first of all, Qualcomm itself is a company that develops the world's top communication technology but does not make specific products, at most it produces components such as chips and processors.

Because Qualcomm now mainly relies on technology patent fees to make money, for example, it sells its own unique technology to the world's electronic equipment manufacturers, then the company needs to share a little profit to Qualcomm every time it sells a product.

This is the source of the real mastery of the production chain, and it also proves what it means to "science and technology is the primary productive force." ”

The second is that Aimer always wears tinted glasses for Asians, and although it does not reach the point of racial discrimination, he always does not believe that yellow-skinned people have the potential to exploit, especially Chinese officials often come here to put on a show.

Abel sighed in his heart, Aimer's technical level is very high, and he will not punish Aimer for Xiong Baizhou being snubbed, but Aimer's behavior is not an attitude of doing business.

Qualcomm was founded to face the world, and personal emotions cannot be carried into the daily affairs of the company.

"Mr. Xiong, Director Shen has often mentioned you to me, but I was negligent. "Abel is the vice president of Qualcomm, and he intends to use an apology to carry this black cauldron.

"It doesn't matter, I only have a business card in my pocket, and I can't give it away if you don't come. Xiong Baizhou replied with a smile, soft and hard, neither humble nor arrogant, and by the way, he also handed over his golden business card.

Fortunately, Mr. Xiong didn't turn his face and left. Emer listened and shrugged.

"I have a big face, and it's too hard to turn my face, so I don't usually do that. ”

Xiong Baizhou ignored the small complaints in Aimer's words, and even silenced him.

This answer was typical American humor, and there was a burst of good-natured laughter in the conference room, and most people were a little impressed by Xiong Baizhou's witty answer.

Qualcomm Vice President Abel waited for the commotion to subside before asking: "Boss Xiong said that there is a business of 1 billion yuan and Qualcomm to do?"

"It's $1 billion. Xiong Baizhou corrected his statement, then pointed to the moving glass whiteboard in the conference room and said, "Can I use it?"

"Please. ”

Xiong Baizhou nodded, glanced at Guo Zijing, who was infatuated with both eyes, smiled confidently and walked to the glass plate to write an English letter.

“rich。 ”

This word means wealthy, and I believe everyone understands it. Xiong Baizhou pointed to the glass plate and said.

No one in the audience responded, they didn't deliberately tear down the stage, but the problem was too simple.

Sure enough, Xiong Baizhou added "er" after "rich", and the adjective became the noun "richer".

"Rich is rich, Richer is rich, so how can you become a rich person?" Xiong Baizhou asked again.

There was still no sound from the audience, but the audience's attention was noticeably better than at the beginning.

After a brief pause, Xiong Baizhou found that no one answered, the smile on his face still changed, but he continued to write the word "ork" on the glass plate, and asked again: "Can work make us rich?"

Finally, someone felt that Xiong Baizhou was always asking and answering himself, and politely began to respond: "No!"

"Yes. Xiong Baizhou heard someone respond, and smiled even brighter: "Work will not make us rich, it will only make the boss rich." ”

"Hahaha. There was another burst of laughter from below.

Xiong Baizhou's answer is very funny and accurate,

Guo Zijing scolded in her heart while looking at Xiong Baizhou, in fact, Adam in this conference room is a senior worker, and only Xiong Baizhou is the real boss.

At this time, Xiong Baizhou wrote down a word again.

“finang？”

Finang means financial management, and Xiong Baizhou asked, "Can financial management make us rich?"

“no！”

This time, more people answered, and Xiong Baizhou also replied with a smile: "Storing money in the bank will not make us rich, but it will make President Bush more confident when he fights a war." ”

The 1995 president of the United States, George W. Bush, also known as George H.W. Bush, is best known for his defeat of Iraq and the imposition of economic sanctions on it, but the American people have a negative attitude towards the war.

So Xiong Baizhou used Bush Sr. as a stalk, and he also received applause.

Xiong Baizhou nodded in gratitude for the applause, and turned to write words again, but this time there were two.

"Stitution and Trend".

These two words mean "constitution" and "trend", but Xiong Baizhou did not use a rhetorical question this time, but a simple affirmative sentence, he pointed to these two words and said: "This is the way to make us rich." ”

Immediately, a "good student" asked a very face-saving question: "Why do you say that?"

"Because most of the ways to become rich, the state has written them into law. Xiong Baizhou said lightly.

It's a very cold joke that requires understanding, but those who can work at Qualcomm are Ivy League graduates, including Berkeley, Stanford, and Santa Clara.

These people reacted quickly, and gradually some people understood and let out a knowing laugh, and finally the whole room was filled with joy.

Xiong Baizhou stood in front leisurely, his profound accumulation of American humor is very in place, a few simple questions and words have won the appreciation and recognition of most of the audience, and even Aimer feels that Xiong Baizhou, a yellow-skinned Asian, is not the same, which will become a foreshadowing in the future.

When the laughter in the conference room gradually subsided, Xiong Baizhou picked up a cotton cloth and wiped off the "stitution constitution", leaving only the "tread trend", and his expression suddenly became serious.

"Actually. Xiong Baizhou raised the volume, and his eyes also glanced brightly: "Rich people are all products of trends!"

This time, without waiting for the audience's reaction, Xiong Baizhou himself explained one after another like a storm.

"Why do we say that the rich are the products of the trend, because when the trend changes, it is not the size of the individual's personal economic strength that is compared, but the speed of the response. ”

"The first industrial revolution was the replacement of manual labor by machines, so with the steam engine and ships, the second industrial revolution brought mankind into the electric age, with airplanes and automobiles, in these two era changes, if you can seize a little opportunity, you are grandfather, you may be Boeing, it may be Ford, it may be Siemens. ”

"Now, we are facing the third industrial revolution. Xiong Baizhou slowed down the pace again and said slowly.

The audience, including Qualcomm's vice president Abel, listened very carefully.

Xiong Baizhou turned around, pointed to the word "trend" and said: "The third industrial revolution should be called the information control technology revolution, it has produced satellites, computers, and even bioethics, we are fortunate to be born in such an era, should we seize the opportunity to become one of the rich?"

There was a bit of silence in the audience, because Xiong Baizhou's thesis was too macroscopic.

But it doesn't matter, Xiong Baizhou has a way to achieve the leap from macro to micro, he suddenly pointed to Aimer in the component department and said:

"Amer, you work very hard and are very smart, which is why you have your current social status, but what I want to say is that it is this era that really makes you get so much remuneration, because the work you are engaged in now is an industry on the tuyere, and it is the industry that is needed by the times. ”

Aimer was suddenly named by Xiong Baizhou, and moved his ass a little uneasily, and felt a little stressed when he looked at Xiong Baizhou again.

However, Xiong Baizhou didn't have much energy to pay attention to him, because he had to continue to fool around.

"This is the most chaotic era of various models, but also the best era of various opportunities, the strong dominate, the weak withdraw from the rivers and lakes, on the surface the market is shuffling, behind is actually elimination, only with the times can the fittest survive!

"Papapa······"

As soon as Xiong Baizhou finished speaking, a person applauded, not Abel who was sitting at the front, but the old American man who suddenly walked in when Xiong Baizhou was halfway through speaking, and almost everyone's attention was attracted by Xiong Baizhou at that time, only Xiong Baizhou saw it.

"I didn't see anyone in the office, so I came here to listen to the class. The old man said with a smile on his face.

"This is our president, Mr. Drake. Abel hurriedly stood up and introduced, and then introduced Xiong Baizhou's identity and intentions to Drake.

Drake smiled and listened to the introduction, looked at Xiong Baizhou and said, "What Mr. Xiong said just now, I think it can be worth $1 million." ”

Xiong Baizhou smiled calmly, a company like Qualcomm has long been managed by professional managers, Drake's status in Qualcomm may be similar to Liu Qingfeng, and the president is only the most powerful worker, there may be a certain option reward, but it will not be much.

So Xiong Baizhou didn't fluctuate much after knowing Drake's identity, and even joked along the topic: "It seems that I only need to make a business quota of 999 million US dollars." ”

There was another burst of laughter in the conference room, Xiong Baizhou understood this American humor very thoroughly, and he also showed the confident demeanor of the Chinese in front of the Americans.

"It's about how to do this $999 million business. Xiong Baizhou led to the next topic: "There was a sleeping lion in the ancient East, and now it has woken up, it has a population base of 1.2 billion, about 600 cities, and an area of 9.6 million square kilometers. ”

"What is Mr. Xiong going to do?"

Drake asked curiously, if it was the beginning and ** of the song just now, it would be the end now, but this is also the most important part.

Only when the harvest is good can the aftermath be realized, and it will not stop for three days.

"My subsidiary, Aisheng Electronics, has been purchasing chips from Qualcomm, and the initial 6,000 units have basically been used up, and now I want to continue to purchase. Xiong Baizhou first threw out a small question and threw stones to ask for directions.

"The popularity of VCD in the Chinese market is obvious, not only did we misestimate the situation a few years ago, but Samsung, Sony and Philips also misjudged the situation. Abel knew about the cooperation project between Aisheng and Qualcomm, so he asked, "How much is Mr. Xiong going to purchase?"

"100,000 units. ”

Xiong Baizhou has increased more than 10 times at once, but Abel is not surprised, the current form of China's VCD market is estimated to have 300,000 units of sales this year, and it has not yet peaked.

"Is Mr. Xiong going to let us make a discount?" Abel then asked.

100,000 units are estimated to have sales of 300 million yuan, and there are also sales of nearly 4,000 US dollars, coupled with this wonderful speech by the Chinese, the moderate discount is not too much.

Who knew that Xiong Baizhou shook his head and simply spit out a word: "No!"

Then Xiong Baizhou said: "100,000 units is only the early number, and the VCD sales in our country and Asia will definitely be more than this number in the future, but I want to talk to Qualcomm about the VCD project, but about the competition between CDMA and G**." ”

Hearing these two simple letters, not only Drake but also Adam suddenly became serious, and most of the Qualcomm executives in the conference room restrained their smiles.

CDMA is the English abbreviation of Code Division Multiple Access (Code Division Multiple Access), which is a new and mature wireless communication technology developed in spread spectrum communication technology.

G** is produced in Europe, and now mobile phones such as Motorola and Ericsson use this system, and CDMA is Qualcomm's masterpiece.

If the VCD chip is regarded as a small project branch of Qualcomm semiconductor research, then the CDMA to the world is Qualcomm's main goal now, and the collection of patent fees is very terrifying, because as long as the electronic equipment using the high-signal base station needs to be paid.

"It's a pity that our country doesn't have the ability to develop these 2G and 3G communication systems now, but fortunately, Huawei has worked hard seven years ago, and I can't do better than Ren Zhengfei," Xiong Baizhou looked at Drake and Abel with a smile on his face, but he was ruthless in his heart:

"Qualcomm on the dog day now lets you make some money first, and after I lay out Zhou Mei's bureau, Lao Tzu will in turn join forces with Huawei to squeeze your living space. ”

"What is Mr. Bear going to do?" Drake, the president, asked cautiously.

"Aisheng wants to develop mobile phones, and I plan to apply for a mobile phone license from the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications in the future, and I need Qualcomm's cooperation here. After a long period of foreshadowing, Xiong Baizhou finally said what he wanted to say.

To sum it up in one sentence, that is, "VCD is not very profitable, and if you really want to do big things, then support my brother to make a mobile phone." ”
