Old-fashioned desks, chairs, small square tables that have not been painted, floors covered with bamboo floors, and solid wood sofas in front of the Chinese fireplace, Li Jiaming's study style is very Chinese. Coupled with a set of solid wood coffee tables and a set of expensive tea sets, this study is a bit of a quaint style, not like the study of a Stanford Ph.D. in economics and the dean of the University of Chicago Business School, but very much like the study of those old pedants in China.

It was the golden autumn of September, Yang Zhiyuan, who was wearing a shirt and jeans, was sitting in front of the coffee table, clumsily fiddling with the set of tea sets that were as warm as jade, and Li Jiaming was sitting opposite him wearing a T-shirt and jeans.

The two are old friends, but they dress in different styles, and in the mean-spirited words of reporters, the two represent two eras in Silicon Valley: Yang Zhiyuan represents the admiration of personal freedom, and Li Jiaming represents complete personal freedom. Yahoo does not impose a dress code on its employees, but it does require them to dress appropriately, while the GCA Research Institute is a place of complete freedom, with many people wearing slippers, unkempt people, unkempt people, and even program apes who live in apartments all day long and do not come to the company.

None of this is important, but the important thing is that Yahoo, under the leadership of Larry, began to look up to GCA, abolishing many of the strict corporate management systems and giving those technicians complete freedom of research. Larry's move caused an uproar within Yahoo, but it was forcefully implemented by the purged top management, which is a very important thing, far more important than the chip company that Yang Zhiyuan and Li Jiaming have disputed.

The abolition of a considerable number of management systems has greatly reduced the management structure, which means that the organization of Yahoo will be flattened, and the company's resources will be tilted to the front-line and technical departments.

This is important, but it means that Yahoo was forcibly injected with technology genes by Larry, and with the support of Yang Zhiyuan and David, it is very likely that it will transform from an Internet portal and a search company to a technology company. This is very important, if Yahoo's transformation is successful, perhaps this giant company that was almost eliminated by the times will still be in the Internet field for more than ten years.

Those who do not seek eternity, those who do not seek the overall situation for a while, and those who do not seek a domain.

Li Jiaming knew that Yang Zhiyuan would not easily agree to his proposal, but he kept staying up with the other party, just to see if Yahoo could develop as he expected. If everything develops in the direction he expected, and Yahoo's financial resources can be fully utilized by Yang Zhiyuan, then he must give in.

Yang Zhiyuan, who was boiled, also vaguely guessed something, but was immediately denied by himself. His influence on Yahoo is far less powerful than that of Mr. Lee, and most of the members of the board of directors of the FL are Chinese, and he has a large investment in the mainland, and has an instinctive closeness to the mainland, let alone that vision. If Li Jiaming insists on doing that, it is useless for him to just pull it, and he will definitely be forcibly pushed by the board of directors.

Changing people without changing their thinking is not unique to the mainland, and Taiwan is the same.

Fortunately, although Li Jiaming was clear about these situations, he couldn't make up his mind to push them strongly. Chips are a sensitive thing, especially chips in the field of communications, and if Yang Zhiyuan, a Chinese-American with great prestige in the United States, is at the helm, perhaps the FBI will have to come to find trouble again.

The side that occupies the initiative has scruples, and the passive side cannot pay attention to the intention, and the two sides are deadlocked.

Making tea and drinking tea, the two very patient people were silent until the hair stone downstairs came up to say goodbye to the two. The best game developers in the industry became Lifang's dish, and it was only natural that he had to find another partner to fight the coming competition. Unexpectedly, Li Jiaming got up and went to the desk and took out a business card from the drawer and gave it to him.

"This is John's personal phone number, you just go and talk to him. ”

This?

The chimpanzee-like hairy man was stunned for a while while with his business card, and said with a wry smile: "Jiaming, are you serious?"

Yang Zhiyuan, who was drinking tea, was also stunned for a while, this thing is not fun, if it is transmitted back to China, Ma Huateng will drop things no matter how good his temper is. But looking back, this is very much in line with the style of Li Jiaming's bastard.

The foundation, and the projects it invests in, are all part of Lee's private property, and they involve the vital interests of Tony and a large group of other members. If Ma Huateng is allowed to talk to Tony, how can the interests of Blizzard and the Foundation be protected in the absence of competitors?

Wrong, Li Jiaming didn't think about this at all, he was just conveying a message to Yang Zhiyuan:

He is a very fair person, and he will never harm the interests of another company because of the interests of one company.

Yang Zhiyuan couldn't guess these mental activities, and Mao Yan couldn't guess them, but it didn't prevent him from bargaining with them? Mao Yan put the business card back on the table and said with a wry smile: "Jiaming, I don't want to do useless work, and I don't have the time and energy. ”

Those who don't bargain are stupid people, but those who agree happily are even more stupid, Li Jiaming smiled and asked rhetorically: "Are you sure? Don't play tricks on me, you also know that you can't fool me." ”

Alas, it must be impossible to play, and the wry-smiling Mao Tong picked up the business card again. Even if it is a support for others, it can raise the cost of cooperation between the parties and hit the opponent in disguise, how can it not be intervened?

"Jiaming, can you give me a bottom?"

This is the brother he brought out single-handedly, Li Jiaming said with a smile: "Do you remember Xin Weili?"

Last time, Hanhua played a trick ruthlessly, not only did PCCW do it in one fell swoop, but also made the CEOs of the three major foundry companies scold their mothers. Mao Tong's heart was moved by some of the memories that were still fresh, but he was not sure whether his cousin had made up his mind to harm the interests of the Li party, and he couldn't help but wonder: "You?"

If there is an audience in the study, you must have the consciousness of being an actor, Li Jiaming sat on the edge of the table with his buttocks, handed over a Chinese cigarette, and said helplessly: "Big companies have the benefits of big companies, and they also have the troubles of big companies." Let them fight, the internal friction is a little bigger, but it can also remove their inertia. ”

It may be true or false, but whether it's true or not, it's good for Dream, Mao Yan accompanies his cousin to smoke a cigarette, and then takes his business card and goes to John of the Viking company. When the door of the study was closed, Yang Zhiyuan also said suspiciously: "Jiaming, are you serious?"

Fake, no matter how clear Li Jiaming is between public and private, it is impossible to easily continue to give the cash cows of "Warcraft" to Fantasy Network, but it is also impossible for Li Fang to easily pry away from Mao Tong's hands. Because this has to be said twice, if necessary, Li Jiaming is likely to sacrifice the interests of Lifang, provided that Yang Zhiyuan can be lucky. He believes that if Ma Huateng and Mao Tong play their brains, Yang Zhiyuan, who is under pressure from the board of directors, will give in, at least shake his determination.

As long as he wavers, Li Jiaming will even agree to sacrifice the interests of SOGO and promise Yahoo to swap shares with Hanhua to further consolidate its position in the field of wireless network search.

Why?

In addition to the need for a breakthrough in chips to seize the opportunities of the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence, it is also because the ship and passengers are interdependent. Passengers who want a bigger and stronger ship have to contribute to it themselves, not sit back and enjoy it.

Over the years, Yang Zhiyuan's FL has cooperated with Intel, not only in terms of mobile phone chips, but also in other chips. If advanced chip technology can be introduced into China, even if the commercial prospects are not large, it is worth it.
