outside/director, which literally means outside director, is translated in writing as non-executive director. This is a term commonly used in North America to refer to a director who is employed part-time by a public company, that is, a director who does not primarily work for a public company and is not paid by a public company.

If the person is not working in the company and does not pay the salary, he is also a director and has the right to vote on the board of directors. But when Li Jiaming went to Yang Zhiyuan with such a position, he was rejected cleanly.

"Amin, that's only two percent of my property, one of my eleven investment projects, and my shares are not even eight thousandths of Qualcomm, do you think I can become a non-executive director?"

It seems to be a bit difficult for a strong man, but Li Jiaming is unforgiving, and says disdainfully: "Banana man!"

This guy is uncomfortable if he doesn't hurt people, and Yang Zhiyuan, who was blowing tea, joked: "No, this is the difference between you and me, David and I regard Yahoo as a career, so Qualcomm is just an investment in our eyes."

Don't talk about me, aren't you the same? In front of the vice chairman of SOHU, it is still a company that you personally participated in founding, have you ever gone back to have a meeting, and you haven't authorized Zhang Zhaoyang on the phone every time?"

Li Jiaming, who has asked for others, waited for others to finish losing himself before discussing: "The first thing will be discussed later, let's talk about the second thing first, I want to match the cooperation between Qualcomm and Liankefa, you are known as the 'light of the Chinese,' can you introduce their high-level leaders?"

Joke?

Yang Zhiyuan carefully looked at Li Jiaming's ugly face, and saw that he was not joking, so he suddenly said strangely: "Ah Ming, do you know what kind of company Liankefa is?"

"Yes, chip manufacturers. ”

Terrible!

What a fearlessness it is for the ignorant!

Yang Zhiyuan, who admired him, arched his hand and said with admiration: "Brother, I am convinced!" Liankefa makes DVD chips, and your old man actually wants them to make baseband chips, and it is CDMA standard. If you want to unify the rivers and lakes, what is the matter with the undefeated East?"

I only know that Liankefa will be famous in the future, but I don't know that it is still a standard poor man.

In the face of his friend's ridicule, Li Jiaming's black face turned red, but fortunately, the black face did not make people see the abnormality, but said vigorously: "Do you know what enterprise transformation is? The DVD market will be saturated sooner or later, rather than transform at that time, it is better to start preparing now."

Do you think I don't want to look for Japanese or Koreans? I saw that everyone was Chinese, so I thought about cheapening my compatriots. What do you think, they can make DVD chips, but they have a little bit of technical accumulation, and we have no foundation at all, and even the research institute has just been established. ”

seems to make sense, Yang Zhiyuan wondered: "Looking for TSMC, their technical strength is much stronger than that of Liankefa." Amin, although Liankefa took the lead in integrating the two chips in DVD that are responsible for video and digital decoding functions into one chip, they have not yet achieved an advantage in the DVD chip market, and it is estimated that the desire for transformation is not urgent. ”

"TSMC is strong, and the two of them are cooperating, so why do you want us to hh?"

Li Jiaming raised his glass and joked: "Brother Zhiyuan, the charm of technology is that the winner takes all, and their innovation will be sought after by all DVD manufacturers, and they will grow into the industry leader in the short term."

I believe that if they can innovate, they must have a long-term vision, and the combination of two companies that do not have much technology accumulation is a natural ally. ”

"Maniac!"

Yang Zhiyuan, who was forcibly invited as a guest, scolded, and carefully pondered his friend's thoughts, but still very incomprehensible: "Ah Ming, you are so interested in chips, you can completely let your own research institute research, it is necessary to find collaborators?"

"Which company have you ever seen do this? The essence of modern industry lies in the division of labor, since we have established smartphones and iPods as our core business, we will only participate in or fund the research and development of new chips, and we will not touch them. ”

"Then the company also acquired QC6522?"

"Pig brains!"

Li Jiaming scolded proudly, toasted the other party with a cup of tea, and explained: "iPod1 has achieved a leading position, and the industry standard will also be set by us, so we can use the industry leadership to force other manufacturers of digital music players to purchase our chips."

Do we have that strength?"

Li Jiaming is smart, and Yang Zhiyuan is smarter than him, but he just didn't think about it. Having just spent $600 million to buy a 5% stake in HH and become vice chairman, Yang Zhiyuan certainly knows what Li Jiaming's future mobile phone looks like. Now that Li Jiaming lifted his mobile phone, Yang Zhiyuan suddenly understood what this ugly man wanted to do.

Lunatic!

No, it should be said that it is a madman!

If he is allowed to do this, how can those current mobile phone manufacturers still have a way to live?

"Childish!"

Microsoft is so powerful, there will still be Linux, not to mention that chips still belong to the real economy? In the real economy, no matter how strong the strong are, there will always be room for the weak to survive; and today's weak may counterattack into tomorrow's strong.

Li Jiaming knows very well that if he doesn't say these words, maybe Yang Zhiyuan, who is excited, will jump into this pit, but it is not a moral thing to conceal his partner, and it is more than worth the loss to regret when people come to the door. There are no stupid people in this world, who can deceive once can't deceive a second time, and as long as they deceive once, the friendship between the two will be gone.

What we are doing today is only to ensure our future market leadership, and it is impossible to monopolize a certain industry. ”

How did this kid's head grow? No wonder he dared to risk billions of dollars!

Yang Zhiyuan, who was drinking hot tea in small sips, believed what Ma Yun said - "Others take a step and look at a maximum of three steps, but that guy takes at least five steps when he takes a step." If this is done, even if it's just to achieve market leadership, the benefits will be terrifying.

But if you want Yang Zhiyuan to gamble like Li Jiaming, he doesn't have the courage, DMA does have an advantage over GSM, but this advantage is not necessarily irreparable, a technological breakthrough is coming, in case GSM makes a breakthrough, CDMA, which is already at a disadvantage, will be swept into the garbage heap of history in an instant.

This is also what Li Jiaming is worried about, history can be changed and there is a fork in the road, otherwise he will not be able to explain his success. This is also why he carefully controlled the strength, did not forcibly acquire Qualcomm, and wanted to invest heavily in another future chip giant, Liankefa, while he himself only focused on the development of terminal products such as iPods and smartphones.

The neat study was silent, and Li Jiaming, who was confident, also contradicted Yang Zhiyuan, and he dared to say in front of Bruce that he would pull this guy into the board of directors, then he was quite sure. Everyone is a man of fame and fortune, this kind of success can be famous, failure is also a tragic hero, he believes that this guy will be on this thief ship.

After hesitating for a long time, Yang Zhiyuan, who had already achieved fame, still disappointed Li Jiaming. Li Jiaming can regard success and failure as life experiences or games, but Yang Zhiyuan can't treat hundreds of millions of dollars as props so freely.

"Amin, I'm sorry".

is really a lucky person who succeeded by chance, Li Jiaming, who looked down on cowardice, mocked: "Brother Zhiyuan, do you know what I want to say to you the most?"

"What?"

"It's not enough to put up a shaft!"

The disappointed Li Jiaming began to pack up the tea set, and he was not interested in entertaining guests anymore.

"You're such a dog-faced."

Li Jiaming, who had packed up the tea set, got up and went to the desk to bring a few folders and handed them over, and said disdainfully: "It's different, you still expect me to be idle and nothing, and drink tea with you?

"What is this?"

"The progress of the research and development of the iPod 2 prototype and the situation of the company, everyone is too busy now, you can help share some of it. ”

This is also a helpless thing, HH has been established for too short a time, and there are not enough manpower in all aspects, and it is not conducive to establishing internal upward channels just by inviting and digging from the outside. We had to work hard, slowly find out outstanding talents from within, and arrange them to various important positions.

Yang Zhiyuan, who built Yahoo from scratch, nodded again and again, agreed with the company's approach, and happily agreed: "Okay, I'll take care of these things for a while." ”

Sending away his disappointed friend, Li Jiaming had a headache when he walked in the silver moonlight, he was very impressed by Liankefa, but he didn't expect that the current Liankefa still has this strength. It's going to be difficult now, he doesn't want to be on the board of directors with great difficulty, but he will be used as an ornament.

Troubles, no matter how big the troubles, Li Jiaming threw the troubles behind him as soon as he entered the study, and began to think about how to write a beautiful telecom operation planning book. If you want Qualcomm to stabilize internally, and if you want to let the M&A company return home, the middle wall is the key, then you have to paint a beautiful blueprint and tell a beautiful story.

, this was supposed to be Owen's old guy's job, and that old guy had a stroke and it ended up being his own job?

Li Jiaming was halfway through writing, when he suddenly pushed the black IBM notebook and found the business card of Ruisen, the manager in the lobby of the GET business hall two days ago.

The two chatted on the phone, chatting until the phone was hot and changed landlines, and in the end, Li Jiaming was so disappointed that he wanted to scold his mother.

Risen on the other side of the phone was also patient, after all, Li Jiaming, who called him, was a big man and might be able to help him in the future, so he persuaded him very sincerely.

"Ming, as a friend, I advise you not to enter this industry easily, the competition is too fierce. A scuffle of more than a dozen companies, which giant will we get acquired sooner or later, let alone a new entrant like you?"

, what kind of world is this? I can think of anything that the Americans have played around.
