As Lin Zheng expected, when the new model with a full keyboard and a variety of bright colors were bundled and launched together with the SMS package, the market reaction was staggering.

You can play games on a game console, you can learn English as an electronic dictionary, you have a full keyboard design that is more suitable for texting, and even the price is cheaper when texting, where can you find such a good thing? On the eve of New Year's Day, this SMS machine was officially launched, and as soon as it was introduced to the market, it immediately ushered in a wave of sales peaks, and the launch of the SMS package is equivalent to pouring a scoop of hot oil on this craze!

Although Lin Zheng only won a 2-month SMS package bundle qualification for the new SMS machine, two months later, not only the old SMS machine can choose the SMS package, but even ordinary mobile phones can also be, but for a new product, 2 months is enough time to open the market.

Lin Zheng's guess is really correct, the launch of the SMS package has made many card dealers in the nephew province keenly aware that this is a huge business opportunity, countless SIM cards in Haidai Province have flowed to the entire North and East China with the hands of the card dealers, looking at the rising number of cards, the leaders of the Haidai Provincial Post and Telecommunications Bureau have a crooked smile.

Compared with Haidai Province, the leaders of the post and telecommunications bureaus of other provinces are staring at Haidai Province with extremely hostile eyes, according to Gongsun Long told Lin Zheng on the phone, the boss of the provincial post and telecommunications bureau has a smile on his face when he walks these days.

It was also at this time that the first IC design company invested by Lianchuang Technology overseas was quietly established, which could have been hyped up in China, following Lin Zheng's "quietly enter the village." Don't shoot a gun", and completed the listing ceremony in a low-key and unusual manner.

However, the listing ceremony was low-key, but the company was not low-key at all. Boss Lin, who shamelessly embezzled the name "HiSilicon", pointed to the entire three-story building in front of him, and was quite complacent when talking to Liu Zhenyuan: "Mr. Liu, are you still satisfied with our research institute?" ”

"Satisfied, satisfied," Liu Zhenyuan nodded excitedly, looking at this IC design company that occupies a whole three-story building, Liu Zhenyuan didn't say much. patting his chest and reassuring Lin Zheng, "Boss, rest assured, with these excellent IC design talents, I am confident that we will become one of the best IC design companies in Asia within three years!" ”

This is a bit arrogant. Although it seems that some of the IC design companies in Asia are not well-known, this is only relative, and Japan has always been at the forefront of the world in IC, behind companies such as Sony, Panasonic, Sharp, and Kyocera. Who doesn't have one or more strong IC design teams? To be the best IC design company in Asia. Dr. Liu Zhenyuan's remarks are inevitably suspicious of being a satellite.

But Lin Zheng likes Liu Zhenyuan's heroism, he doesn't expect HiSilicon to really become a first-class IC design company in Asia in three years, but it can still be done to complete a considerable amount of IC design work.

"Three years? Mr. Liu, I don't ask you to become the best IC design company in Asia within three years, I am very satisfied to be able to do this in five years, knowing that you have met a lot of people in your cooperation with ARM. In the coming days, it will be your most important job to bring in excellent IC design talents for HiSilicon. You understand what I mean when I say that, right? ”

To be able to become the person in charge of HiSilicon, Liu Zhenyuan's brain is definitely not stupid, and Mr. Lin's intention is to transform himself from a design talent to a management talent! For Liu Zhenyuan, this is not something unacceptable, on the contrary, he is happy to complete such a strategic transformation. Even after Lin Zheng said what he expected from Liu Zhenyuan, this guy immediately climbed up the pole: "No problem, but, Mr. Lin, can you negotiate with Texas Instruments, we will introduce some talents from them?" Anyway, those people are going to be fired. ”

Three months ago, Jerry R. Junkins, the former chairman and CEO of Texas Instruments, died suddenly without warning, and as the head of one of the largest semiconductor companies in the United States, the sudden death of Jerry R. Junkins was catastrophic for Texas Instruments...... Although Jerry R. Junkins is one of the most successful helmsmen in the history of Texas Instruments, even Americans have to admit that the current life of Texas Instruments is not easy, and the overly decentralized system has made Texas Instruments' profitability decline.

Everyone focused their eyes on that chair, and in this case, Lin Zheng's old friend Thomas . Angie Borough was appointed as the new CEO of the behemoth Texas Instruments.

Only after taking office, Thomas. Angelber began a drastic reform, it is rumored that he not only wants to sell the loss-making notebook computer department, but also decides to sell the software design and development department, many of which are excellent IC design talents, Liu Zhenyuan has been staring at Texas Instruments for not a day or two, and now he has seized the opportunity, and naturally he is desperately encouraging his boss to attack Texas Instruments.

"I can talk to them, but you're the one who plays a major role." Lin Zheng said solemnly.

In fact, Lin Zheng also has this meaning, but Lin Zheng knows that he can't let Liu Zhenyuan lead his nose in this matter, the reason is very simple, he is the CEO of Lianchuang Technology, and he can tell Liu Zhenyuan what to do, but Liu Zhenyuan can't do this, this problem must be corrected for him.

Unexpectedly, the boss gave him such an answer, Liu Zhenyuan was stunned for a moment, and then nodded.

――――――――――――――――――――――――

In fact, Lin Zheng wanted to get more from Texas Instruments.

"Anjibo, your face doesn't look good." Lin Zheng, who "made a special trip" to visit his old friend, looked at Thomas. Anjiber asked with a haggard face.

"If you only sleep four hours a day, your face won't look good." Thomas. An Jibo smiled bitterly and said to Lin Zheng, as a friend, he didn't mind letting Lin Zheng know that there was a lot of pressure on his shoulders.

"Understand, the position of CEO of Texas Instruments is not so easy to do," Lin Zheng nodded with understanding: "The board of directors gave you such a high annual salary, not for you to play games with beautiful female secretaries in such a luxurious office." ”

When he said this, Lin Zheng subconsciously remembered the beautiful female secretary in the secretary room outside. This guy Angie Bo has also understood the essence of the CEO who has something to do and nothing to do as a secretary?

"Lin, this joke isn't funny at all." With a wry smile, Thomas. An Jibo said, haggard and asked Lin Zheng directly: "Lin, tell me your intentions, I don't think you came to see me." ”

"Well, I'm sorry, I just came to see you, sorry to disappoint you." Lin looked at Thomas with a sincere face. Anjiber, his mouth is full of lies.

As a good friend who has known Lin Zheng for many years, Thomas . An Jibo is not familiar with Lin Zheng's temperament? Immediately picked up the conversation: "By the way, help me solve some minor troubles?" ”

"That's right, that's it, we're good friends!" Boss Lin happily said that he wanted to have a glass of wine to celebrate.

"Forget it, Lin, if I didn't know you were here for Texas Instruments' laptop department, I'd voluntarily resign from this position," Thomas said. Angie Bo smiled bitterly: "Don't sue me that you are not interested in Texas Instruments' laptops." ”

Speaking of which, Thomas. Anjibo faintly regretted that as the most money-losing department under Texas Instruments, if he hadn't refused Lin Zheng's cooperation in the laptop business so strongly, maybe he would have more options for himself, instead of being threatened by this little bastard like now.

"I'm interested, but I'm more interested in the designers in it." Look straight at Thomas. Angie Bo, Lin Zheng Dao, he believes in Thomas. Angie will understand what she means.

Thomas. Anjibo really understood what this little guy meant, and rejected Lin Zheng's idea very simply: "Lin, you know this is impossible, no matter who is interested in this department, Texas Instruments will only sell it as a whole, after all, they have served Texas Instruments for so many years, even if they are to be sold, I have to find a new boss for them." ”

In the original historical time and space, how Texas Instruments handled the laptop department, Lin Zheng didn't know at all, this is not to blame Lin Zheng's head, who let future generations never hear of Texas Instruments notebooks? But this can also give Lin Zheng some reference: maybe Texas Instruments planted a big heel in this project, and the price they offered was so high that they didn't sell it in the end, smashing the entire project into their own hands, and finally had to watch those employees being poached by competitors one by one.

With this evidence, Lin Zheng's courage is undoubtedly much greater. An Jibo's threat naturally had no effect, and he shook his head slowly, Lin Zheng said: "An Jibo, as a friend, I have to say, you are not honest at all, you must know that except for our Lianchuang Technology, you can't find such a generous buyer at all...... Can't we, as friends, be sincere and candid? (To be continued......)
