Chapter 201: A Rare Confidant (Part I)
The night is like water, and the moonlight is like frost.
was beaten by Wanwan on the phone, Li Jiaming didn't feel sleepy, and simply took out a notepad to write down everything he wanted to do.
It's a pretense to see the fourth brother, but in fact, he still comes to play here and wants to go to Disneyland to set up camp. After playing in Los Angeles, I will definitely go to Orlando again, and I can finish playing in Los Angeles in two or three days, and Orlando can be more than 120 square kilometers, and I may not be able to see it all in a year.
I definitely don't have that time, and the little sisters are all in their third year of high school, so they can only call Gui Mei to play with them, and I don't know if she can watch a bunch of little radish heads. Thinking of the nephews in his hometown, Li Jiaming had a headache, especially Da Maoling's son and daughter, who were like two demon kings in the world. No, I have to invite Qiao Qiao and them, anyway, she has a lot of classmates and friends, and she can always watch it one-on-one. It's just right for her and her fourth brother to go on vacation, don't be either a library or a laboratory every day.
Solving the little troubles of happiness, Li Jiaming closed the notepad and began to build a mathematical model. After studying this major for a long time, I am used to building a mathematical model for big things, and the pros and cons are clearly calculated.
The model is not wrong, it is still a 25-30% success rate, but the most important one cannot be digitized, or the human factor cannot be calculated. The reason why a miracle is a miracle is because it turns the impossible into reality, just like a few years ago, when I was engaged in sohu, even I thought that I would fail, but I didn't expect that the last moment would be bright.
To bet or not to bet?
Of course betting!
The small rich rely on hard work, and the big rich are determined by heaven!
Early the next morning, a refreshed Li Jiaming drove to San Diego by himself.
As soon as the $1.1 million Maybach black sports car drove out of the manor, Li Jiaming received a call from his assistant, and the middle-aged Japanese man persuaded him: "Li Sang, I was last night"
Li Jiaming, who was wearing headphones, interrupted the voice on the phone and teased: "Nakamura-kun, your country believes in the spirit of bushido, and we Chinese believe in 'Kong says Chengren, Meng says righteousness'." I believe that this century will become the century of our East Asian nation, and even if it fails, I will admit it. ”
On the other side of the phone, a respectful voice immediately came: "Hi! ”
Mr. Lee's assistant, Nakamura Uei, is a Japanese immigrant who is 1/2 Korean, and speaks English with a fishy flavor. He has bachelor's and master's degrees in electrical engineering, and his Ph.D. in computer science at Stanford, which is Larry's senior.
Li Jiaming asked him to be an assistant, on the one hand, because of Larry's recommendation, Nakamura, who failed to start a business, has enough experience and lessons from failure, and more because he is of Japanese descent, and it was Li Jiaming who bought his small company, which allowed him to avoid bankruptcy. National feelings are one thing, but no one can deny the loyalty of the Japanese, especially this kind of Japanese man who has been educated in the Japanese tradition since childhood.
When Li Jiaming can't find a trustworthy compatriot, Nakamura has become his only choice at present. Such a person may not be very capable, but he is absolutely resolute in carrying out orders.
But now I have to change my mind, Qualcomm's affairs can definitely be discussed, so we need to send our own interests representatives, and Nakamura, who is not bad, can no longer be an assistant by my side.
It is estimated that Nakamura also guessed Li Jiaming's thoughts, and when he received his call last night, he immediately contacted Qualcomm, which led to today's meeting.
When the car arrived in San Diego, it didn't go to Qualcomm, but picked up Nakamura at a café about a kilometer away from the University of California, San Diego, and drove into a private road next to it. Qualcomm is now in turmoil, and it is good to be able to cooperate with HH to develop new chips, but if it can't be negotiated and reported by the media, it will be self-defeating and the gains outweigh the losses.
Mr. Owen's estate is large, with a lawn, tennis court, garden, swimming pool, and a large tulip grove behind the house. It's early summer, the tulip trees are lush and the forest trails are secluded.
The two greeted Mr. and Mrs. Owen at the gate of the manor, and after drinking a cup of coffee in the house with the owner, Li Jiaming and the man got up and went out. The three of them walked along the forest path and chatted, the two of them were not talking about cooperation, but real small talk, and Nakamura, who was not close or far away, pricked up his ears to listen.
In fact, Li Jiaming admires this old man very much, in addition to his merits, there is also sincerity to others. If he is replaced, it is very likely that he will meet on the golf course and use the entertainment method that the opponent is not good at, causing a certain amount of psychological pressure on the opponent. It's like he often invites Larry to party at his estate.
"Sir, can I smoke?"
"You are free, I smoked when I was younger, and I didn't smoke cigarettes."
Hehe, that period of anti-war history Li Jiaming knew and had seen the scene in "Forrest Gump", so he said a little strangely: "Jenny. Cullen? ”
Owen was obviously stunned for a moment before replying: "She represents our youth, Forrest Gump represents our adulthood, Forrest Gump is like us in the United States, although the limbs are very strong, but they are stupid, we just keep running forward, so we have today." ”
What kind of virtue is American imperialism, people all over the world know, but Li Jiaming smiled indifferently, and he himself was in front of them, arguing for his motherland.
"Actually, my favorite is "Shawshank", I watched a pirated videotape, I was in Form 4 that year, and I especially liked the opera and Morgan's narration:
To this day, I don't know what those two Italian wives are singing. Actually, I don't want to know, there are some things that are better left unsaid. I think they're singing some really beautiful and moving stories, so beautiful that it's hard to put into words, so beautiful that it hurts your heart.
Let me tell you, these voices reach into the sky, flying farther than anyone dares to dream. It's like some beautiful bird flapping its wings and coming to our brown cage and making those walls disappear without a trace. At that moment, everyone in Shawshank Prison felt free. ’”
Owen, who was in the year of the sixtieth year, walked forward silently, and Li Jiaming, who was young, also smoked a cigarette in the back and followed.
For this revered old man, Qualcomm is now like a prisoner in a movie, imprisoned in a prison built by GSM chip manufacturers such as Texas Instruments. If you don't escape, sooner or later you will become a white bone under the throne of the other party.
Both of them are very aware of this, and they are very aware that the GSM mobile phone chip is also like a prison, trapping Texas Instruments, Freescale, ADI, and Broadcom. Vested interests are the least motivated to act as industry disruptors, and they will only maximize their interests within the existing framework, and this is the Qualcomm opportunity. But this is not an opportunity that you can seize if you want to, it requires billions of dollars of investment, and there is a huge risk of failure.
Li Jiaming dares to bet on this, even if he loses, he can still make a comeback with the success of other investments, but he must get the biggest piece of the cake under this risk. Who made him have cash in his hand, and hh, that cash cow?
It's the same with Owen in front, Qualcomm has reached this point, what else is there to bet on? It's just that this yellow-skinned monkey has too much appetite, and he actually wants to set up a new company, and he also wants to fight big with small to control Qualcomm in difficulty.
The two walked in silence for a while, and Owen, who was in his sixtieth year, suddenly said: "Ming, what do you think about the relationship between the Internet and industry?" ”
This is the real big man, doing business is not like investment, if they have different ideas, even if they lack funds, they can't cooperate.
Li Jiaming pondered for a while, and asked rhetorically: "Mr. Owen, don't you think it's very strange that I, a person engaged in the Internet business, took the initiative to seek cooperation with Qualcomm?" ”
"No, iPod is a product."
Confidant, Li Jiaming suddenly felt like a confidant.
