Chapter 631 Inspection of MediaTek headquarters

Although the main target of Lin Cheng's trip was Zhang Rujing, the general manager of Shida Semiconductor, Lin Cheng did not ask Zhang Rujing to meet at the first time, but like a king inspecting his own territory, under the leadership of Xiao Chang, he went to Hsinchu Science Industrial Park to inspect MediaTek, which had just been established for a year. Fastest updates

MediaTek is the world's second largest mobile phone chip manufacturer in later generations, second only to Qualcomm of the United States.

In the era of 3G feature phones, MediaTek even surpassed the American imperialist Qualcomm by virtue of the huge advantage of copycat machines and became the world's first at that time.

However, the good times did not last long, and the US emperor Qualcomm entered the era of smart phones earlier than MediaTek due to its cooperation with Apple, and once again regained the first place in mobile phone chips by virtue of its first-mover advantage.

On the other hand, MediaTek has just entered the era of smart phones, and it can keep pace with Qualcomm with its high quality and low price, but later with continuous mistakes in decision-making, it failed to enter the mid-to-high-end market, and even its own basic low-end market was eaten away by Qualcomm.

MediaTek, which is not high or low, is even disliked by domestic copycat mobile phone manufacturers, and its market share is declining step by step.

"Cheng Zai, the MediaTek company I helped you buy is not actually a wholly-owned acquisition, due to the insistence of Mr. Tsai Mingjie, the founder of MediaTek, I only acquired 70% of MediaTek's shares, and I also used up your 100 million Taiwan dollars. On the Rolls-Royce car, Xiao Yan said cautiously.

"It's okay, in modern society, eating alone is becoming more and more intolerable by the times, and win-win cooperation is the only way to do business. Cai Mingjie has a 30% stake in MediaTek, he will work hard to do MediaTek, if he is just a part-time worker, I think he will soon leave MediaTek and start anew. Lin Cheng waved his hand and said unconcernedly.

Cai Mingjie is a veteran of the domestic IC design industry, known as the godfather of IC design in the industry.

The reason why Lin Cheng wants to acquire MediaTek is mainly because of the MediaTek design team headed by Cai Mingjie.

If Lin Cheng wholly acquired MediaTek, and the founder of MediaTek, Cai Mingjie, left MediaTek, then MediaTek is just an empty shell for Lin Cheng and worthless.

After driving for about forty-five minutes, Lin Cheng and his entourage finally came to the MediaTek headquarters in Hsinchu Industrial Park.

"Mr. Cai, I've been admiring you for a long time!" Holding Cai Mingjie's hands, Lin Cheng said enthusiastically.

Cai Mingjie was a little surprised by Lin Cheng's sudden enthusiasm, but Lin Cheng was the major shareholder of MediaTek, and Cai Mingjie didn't think much about it, just thought that Lin Chengcheng was polite to him.

In fact, Cai Mingjie was quite surprised by Lin Cheng's youth, thinking that Lin Cheng became the richest man in Asia at the age of eighteen, Cai Mingjie felt that he was forty-eight years old and lived to be a dog, and he was ashamed!

"Where, I have admired Lin Shengcai for a long time, and I have long been looking forward to your visit to Treasure Island and give us some guidance. Cai Mingjie said politely.

"Mr. Cai doesn't need to be polite, everyone is his own family. Lin Cheng waved his hand and said with a smile.

After a few brief greetings, Cai Mingjie took Lin Cheng to visit the headquarters of MediaTek and visit around.

It can be seen that although MediaTek has only been in existence for a year, under the strict management of Cai Mingjie, the company has been operating in an orderly manner.

Lin Cheng was particularly impressed by the fact that although MediaTek did not have many employees, it did not have the phenomenon of overcrowding that is common in mainland enterprises, and Lin Cheng was most satisfied with this.

When they came to MediaTek's chip manufacturing plant, the workers were fully armed, wearing dense dust suits, and only their eyes were exposed all over their bodies, and the workshop environment was spotless.

Lin Cheng followed the customs of the locals, and wore dense dustproof clothes like Xiao Yan and others, and looked left and right behind Cai Mingjie's buttocks.

There are less than three or four hundred workers in MediaTek, which is not comparable to the scale of thousands of workers in any factory on the mainland, but the technical ability of the workers on Baodao is very good, and they are working hard one by one, turning a blind eye to the inspection of Cai Mingjie and Lin Cheng.

After inspecting the production workshop, Lin Cheng came to MediaTek's R&D laboratory, for electronic chips and other high-precision scientific research technology, Lin Cheng naturally knows nothing, but as a reborn, he understands the application direction of chips.

When everyone finished the simple inspection, Lin Cheng came to Cai Mingjie's office and immediately suggested that Cai Mingjie stop the research and development of DVD chips and shift his main energy to mobile phone chips.

At this time, MediaTek was only a manufacturer that developed optical disc storage technology and DVD chips, and provided corresponding software solutions, which was vigorously sought after by many DVD manufacturers in Baodao.

It was not until 2001 that Cai Ming Interface resolutely led MediaTek to break into the mobile phone chip design and development market, which was not good at at that time, for the gradually saturated CD-ROM and DVD chip markets.

"Switching to mobile phone chip production and design? Lin Sheng, aren't you joking with me?" Hearing Lin Cheng's suggestion, Cai Mingjie looked confused.

MediaTek specializes in producing chips for CD and DVD manufacturers, and has been doing a good job, and it can make a profit, but why did it suddenly turn to complete the R&D and design of mobile phone chips that can be called a layman, Cai Mingjie neither understands nor understands.

Lin Cheng said: "Mr. Cai, in fact, my original intention of acquiring MediaTek shares was to enter the mobile phone industry and find a chip supplier for my mobile phone manufacturers.

And IMHO, whether it is the CD or DVD industry, with the increasing development of Internet technology in the future, it is destined to only become a sunset industry, and it will enter a saturated state in three or four years.

On the other hand, with the development of science and technology, mobile phones will sooner or later become an indispensable item for everyone, if the world can achieve a mobile phone in each hand, coupled with the terrifying replacement and update speed of mobile phones, Mr. Cai can know what a huge market this is.

Especially in the mainland, perhaps in the eyes of most people, the mainland is poor and backward, but I have a different view on this, I don't know if Mr. Cai has ever heard such a story.

Two shoe makers came to an island and found that the people on the island were barefoot, and none of them wore shoes.

In this regard, manufacturer A thinks that the people on the island do not wear shoes, and the island has no market value, but manufacturer B thinks that no one on the island wears shoes, and everyone on the island is potential customers, and the market is very large.

In the same way, there are only a few hundred thousand people using mobile phones in the mainland, and most people think that the mobile phone market in the mainland is too small, but I think that the mainland has a big market with 1.2 billion people, and it is the right time to enter the mobile phone market at this time!"
