Chapter 29: The Layman's Dispute
The winter sun is very warm, but Li Jiaming, who is lying on the lawn and basking in the sun, is very depressed.
It's not because of Qualcomm's business, although it was a failure, but there was no loss, and it made tens of millions of dollars; it's not because I received the premiere invitation of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and I can't be a lover or an enemy, and it's a matter of course to go to the field of old lovers; not because of academic matters, American universities are far better than domestic ones, as long as you work harder, The homework can be completed well, even if the final exam is not performed abnormally, it will not seriously affect the GPA; he is depressed because he wants to start a new A chip, but none of the company's core management supports him.
βming!β
The depressed Li Jiaming opened his eyes, and a red-haired white girl was holding the neck of a black girl, standing in front of him and said, "Do you want to come to my birthday part at night?"
They are all neighbors in an apartment, but they are tenants, they are self-occupied, they are Lala, they are straight men, Li Jiaming, who was depressed, floated a polite smile and joked: "Please don't disturb me to be sad, okay?"
"God forbid, I finally didn't let you wear your panties outside. β
Li Jiaming, who was praised as a superman by his neighbors and classmates, waved his hand and said like a fly: "There are no gifts!"
"Eight o'clock in the evening!"
As soon as he was disturbed, the depressed Li Jiaming got up and went back to the company unintentionally in the sun, and more depressing things were still waiting for him, but it also aroused his dislike of not admitting defeat.
Bruce declined Nakamura's offer because Intel had appointed him as Qualcomm's CTO with an annual salary of $600,000 and the equivalent of the shares to be converted into shares in the new company.
"Boss, the heads of all technical departments are treated the same, but the future shares of those ordinary technical personnel have been cancelled, but the original treatment will be retained and a certain amount of compensation will be given, and there will be no layoffs. β
The response is really fast, much like the style of a large company, it is estimated that the plan was made early, and the plan was implemented immediately after the acquisition was successful. Maybe Intel had already sent someone to communicate with those core management and ask for their opinions, but it just hid from Owen's old guys.
, do you really think the boss is the owner of the company? Without the team, the boss is a bare-bones commander!
"What about the people who agreed?"
"Only the seven of them wanted to come over, but they asked for the same treatment as they were at Qualcomm, and they couldn't interfere with their research work. β
I don't know technology, why do I interfere with their work?
"It's very reasonable, the position and treatment remain the same. Tell those who wanted to come before, as long as they are willing to come, the same is their treatment. Don't always focus on those who have positions, but those who are skilled but have no ambitions. β
"Hey, I'm asking them to make a list, and I want them to come forward and persuade them. β
That's right, most people who can get ahead are extroverted and good at expressing themselves, which doesn't mean that people who are not introverted and not good at performing are incompetent. Wei Xiaobao still knows that people with ability are not social, so Lao Tzu doesn't believe that he can't find Maxima. Liankefa, a company that makes DVD chips, can also become a mobile phone chip giant, Lao Tzu is in Silicon Valley, much richer than them, and can't make chips himself?
Isn't it just money, just like Google's vote for nothing, you have to burn the chip giants to burn money!
"Boss, Wassenaar Agreement. β
Wharton's kind reminder made Li Jiaming's head big again, and that rogue agreement was really a fucking big trouble.
"Is there a way to get around?"
"No way, no one cares until we succeed, and if we do, the FBI will step in. Boss, the baseband chip is not an iPod chip, it is a highly regulated technology, even if Intel gives us a patent license, we can't pin our hopes on employee loyalty. Or do what you thought before, cooperate with the Taiwanese and let them go to research and development. β
Damn ideology!
After scolding the hooligan agreement a few times, Li Jiaming looked at kle, if he cooperated with the Taiwanese, the new company would be uncontrollable, at most it would be influential. Klee, who has always been opposed to cooperation with Qualcomm, is still opposed, what era is this, and he still wants to do everything by himself?
"Ming, don't you think it's ridiculous? You, I, and Owen all think Intel is doing the wrong thing, and we're doing what they do, except that we didn't build factories like they did. β
"Kle, then why are you so excited about the introduction of QC6522?"
"That's because we are leading in the field of digital music players, and we have the next generation of technology in reserve, which is likely to become a field, the terminal market of mobile phones is too big, and it is impossible to produce kings, especially Texas Instruments has broken through the technical barriers between analog and digital, so we should focus more on the research and development of the mobile phone itself."
At the very least, we shouldn't have a baseband chip before GSM has a bottleneck problem, it's too risky! We're not Intel, and we don't have as much strength as them. β
It can't be said that KLE's opinion is wrong, because he doesn't know that in Li Jiaming's previous life, Qualcomm was the overlord in the field of mobile phone chips, so A's direction is right and can replace the GSM standard. If Li Jiaming didn't know about this trend, he would have thought and decided like Klee, but the problem is that he knew.
There is no shortcut to technology research and development, it can only be accumulated by time, and it is not a baseband chip technology, but it can get the first opportunity through the relationship with chip manufacturers and take advantage of the future competition, just like they first put the ipod1 with excellent performance to the market, Apple and Sony can only follow behind their butts.
"Ok, the investment in the previous A baseband chip is my own, and it is separate from the finance and personnel of the research institute. When I went to Taiwan, I still went to the senior management of Lianke Development and explained the legal issues to them clearly. We can give them financial support, talent introduction, and so on, and give them a controlling stake, but we must have enough seats and voting rights on the board. β
In fact, Wharton didn't quite agree with Li Jiaming's big gamble, and seeing that KLE took the lead in opposition, he also hesitated: "Boss, I think KLE is reasonable." Even in the future of A, we can still get chips, and Intel, as a chip provider, cannot refuse our purchase. β
Li Jiaming has no way to prove that he is right, and can only use risks and benefits to convince his team.
"Yes, I think Kle makes sense, but I'm going to think further as the boss. Owen's thinking is right, opportunities can't wait, they can only be created by themselves.
What we can all think of, Intel can't imagine? Will they suddenly buy Qualcomm, will they continue to follow Irving's strategy? If we guess it right, and we can make a breakthrough before Intel, what do you think will happen?
Gentlemen, it's worth the risk, to gamble on a future with money that I don't need for the time being, why don't I gamble?"
Li Jiaming, as the boss, said this, if he is in another company, then he will do what he wants. But his team is very democratic, and the members can speak freely, and Kle still persuades: "Ming, otherwise, they join the institute, they are professionals in this field, and we listen to their opinions? β
Yes, for technical matters, you have to listen to the technical personnel. I just know that Qualcomm has become the king of smartphone chip manufacturers, and I don't know the twists and turns, and it's good to listen to the opinions of professionals.
"Okay, we'll make a decision when they give their opinion. Nakamura-kun, urge them, anyway, Intel's compensation will not be less than theirs, why do you always stay there?"
"Hi".
