Chapter 345: It's still technology
Ye Wenbin stood in the luxurious suite study on the 36th floor of the Hilton Hotel, and the afternoon had a quiet, leisurely and soothing feeling, and he couldn't remember how long he hadn't quietly experienced this feeling. Standing in a luxurious room in a high-rise building, looking down at the small pedestrians on the street.
"Calm down, pour me another glass of wine." Ye Wenbin said to his son Ye Qiangwen, who was walking around the room anxiously.
"Dad, when is it, do you still have the heart to taste wine?" Ye Qiangwen muttered dissatisfied, and walked to the desk to pour wine for his father. Seeing the bright red wine slowly increasing in the cup, Ye Qiangwen's mood did not improve in the slightest.
Ye Zhouhai, on behalf of United Technology, reached a technical support agreement with Huangyuan Electronics. Huang Yuan Electronics will set up a mobile phone product design team in Hong Kong to help United Technology design various new models. In addition, special electronic engineers and software engineers will be sent to Jiangzhou to participate in the R&D team of United Technology Company, responsible for the realization of the designed mobile phone product solutions.
This is the rhythm that wants to swallow his father's R&D team in Jianye. When Ye Zhouhai puts the R&D team into operation in Jiangzhou, the next step is to lay off the personnel of Jianye, right?
"Do you think Xiao San's market development plan in Jiangzhou can be successful?" Ye Wenbin smiled faintly, looked at the city outside the window, raised his wine glass and took a sip gently.
"The chances are great. Jinghua's adjusted sales system did not include many small and medium-sized dealers in Jiangzhou, and United Technology shipped 10,000 units a month with the help of these small and medium-sized dealers. Didn't we do the same when we were selling disc players before? The cumulative strength of small and medium-sized dealers may not be as good as that of large dealers. Ye Qiangwen said. He works as Hengyue Electric in the capital and is quite familiar with dealers and channels.
"Hehe, I don't think so. Not all domestic affairs are done in accordance with the laws of the market. Why did Jinghua regard Jiangzhou as a base. That's because Lu Jiang is the mayor of Jiangzhou. Ye Wenbin said with a smile: "The boss is too anxious. Pushed Xiao San to the front desk so early to grab a place. We won't talk about foreign mobile phone manufacturers. There are 17 mobile phone manufacturers in China, plus OEM manufacturers. I don't think the junior can handle it.
United Technology can win a piece of the market. But this market is definitely not in Jiangzhou. So, there's always a chance for us to pick up the pieces. Maybe it's just a few months. It was impossible for Jinghua to watch Lianke occupy their lair. ”
said. Ye Wenbin smiled slightly and said, "When I left at noon, Huang Lifei invited me to the banquet in the evening on behalf of the Huang family. Do you think we can talk to the Huang family about that? ”
"Ah-" Ye Qiangwen was stunned for a moment, his mood suddenly improved, and he said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "After all, you have to kick out irrelevant people." In any case, I hope that Yonghui Group can control United Technology. Haha, I'm looking forward to Lu Jing's kid being able to teach Ye Zhouhai a hard lesson in Jiangzhou. ”
Lu Jing taught Ye Zhouhai a lesson, and they came out to clean up the mess and kick Ye Zhouhai out of United Technology.
…
Hong Kong's bars are becoming more and more lively after hours. Yan Jingming and Shi Yongjun were drinking slowly in the bar. Xia Yi mobile phone has been sold in Beijing on the 18th N108. He and Shi Yongjun came to Hong Kong in search of new investors. It is believed that Hong Kong's capital is interested in the rising mobile communications market in the Mainland.
As long as there is a suitable bid, VTeam Investment and Starlight Investment can sell part of their shares. He likes to invest short-term. This kind of thing is still laborious for Shi Yongjun.
"Did you find out what Lu Jing came to Hong Kong for?"
Shi Yongjun shook the beer glass in his hand and took a sip of wine, "Lu Jing only stayed in Hong Kong for one day, and then flew to New York the next day." "He has worked in Singapore, and he is not completely unconnected here in Hong Kong, and it is still easy to check the entry and exit records of several people with some people in the Yan family.
"New York?" Yan Jingming smiled, "He won't take his little lover out on a trip, right?" It's quite idle. ”
Shi Yongjun shook his head, "I'm worried that he will go abroad to find technology." I studied the information released by Jinghua publicly, and they are very strong in R&D investment. Nokia's Zhou Fusheng may introduce him to Nokia's top management. Nokia's North American headquarters is located in New York. I asked people to check that Zhou Fusheng has recently flown to North America. ”
"Not necessarily. Protecting the interests of employers is the most basic principle that professional managers must follow. I still make that judgment, regardless of the personal relationship between Zhou Fusheng and Lu Jing. It is impossible for him to develop a potential opponent for Nokia. Of course, saying this may be lifting Jinghua. ”
Shi Yongjun smiled and did not argue. It's quite puzzling. He does not believe that the battle in the domestic mobile phone market is fierce in July, as the leader of Jinghua Company. Lu Jing has spare time to go to the United States for a vacation, and he must have a serious reason. But what is it?
…
A three-hour flight from San Francisco, Dallas Fort Worth Airport – one of the busiest airports in the world. Lu Jing's impression of Dallas is still stuck on semiconductor giants like Texas Instruments. But in fact, the domestic public is more familiar with the Dallas Mavericks of the NBA.
Zhou Zhilong was very curious about the purpose of flying him to Dallas. Lu Jing told him on the plane that STN liquid crystal display technology had been swirling in his mind. But with Jinghua's fame at this time, when he visited Texas Instruments, the two of them were afraid that they would be turned away.
Although Jinghua Electronic Technology Research Institute has established a liquid crystal display technology laboratory, the specific work has not made great progress. The research and development of LCD display in China is still in its infancy, and TFT liquid crystal display technology has developed to the third generation in Japan in 97 years. Electronics companies in Taiwan and South Korea have begun to introduce them on a large scale.
However, Jinghua does not have enough strength and technical strength to introduce and digest the third-generation TFT LCD technology and production line, even if it is introduced, it will also invest huge manpower and material resources to closely follow the pace of Japanese and Korean manufacturers to develop the fourth-generation technology.
Therefore, the research and development of low-end technology STN liquid crystal display technology is the right way. STN LCD screens will maintain a wide market for a long time in low-end applications. As a low-end technology, Jinghua is easier to introduce.
But how do you knock on Texas Instruments' door?
When he met Zhou Fusheng, the president of Nokia China, at Starbucks in downtown Dallas, Zhou Zhilong felt a little surprised.
Dallas is Nokia's R&D center in North America. The chip of Nokia mobile phone is the chip of Texas Instruments. As the world's largest mobile phone manufacturer in terms of market share. Nokia has a good working relationship with Texas Instruments.
Lu Jing introduced Zhou Fusheng and Zhou Zhilong to meet. The purpose of his visit was not to visit Nokia's R&D center. Instead, he hopes to use Zhou Fusheng's connections to buy Texas Instruments' STN liquid crystal display technology.
STN liquid crystal display technology as a low-end technology, Texas Instruments may not be willing to sell. But first find someone you can talk to an insider at Texas Instruments. In this way, it can be taken at a suitable price.
There is a referral of Zhou Fusheng and the contact of Texas Instruments is relatively smooth. Although STN liquid crystal display technology is not expensive, the introduction of this technology is not an overnight thing. It took three days in Dallas to finalize the rough contract framework - Lu Jing hoped to get Deyi's authorization. Jinghua can carry out the follow-up research and development of STN liquid crystal display technology, and has the intellectual property rights of the research and development results. He didn't want to wait for Deyi's STN LCD technology to become obsolete before coming to Dallas to introduce new technology.
It wasn't until the fifth day that Jinghua's lawyer came to look at the detailed contract and confirmed that it was correct, and the two parties signed the contract. Although I stayed in Dallas for five or six days, I didn't go to several famous attractions in Dallas, such as Bleyan Cabin, Beautiful Park, and White Rock Lake.
On the 27th, Lu Jing and Zhou Zhilong, along with several follow-up entourages, flew back to San Francisco from Dallas Fort Worth Airport.
EVF and Pixom, which were merged into Jinghua, adjusted their R&D directions, first of all, they needed to develop audio decoding chips and video decoding chips applied to digital mobile phones. With the talent pool of Silicon Valley. As well as the previous technical reserves of the two companies, this is not an impossible thing to accomplish - Jinghua Research Institute will invest in the recruitment of senior technical personnel in the future.
STN liquid crystal display technology, Jinghua will send engineers from China to EVF company to receive engineer training from Deyi, and it is necessary to digest and master the relevant technology. The production equipment of STN liquid crystal display technology, Ling Xueyue has sold the mobile phone display production plant in Jiangzhou to Lu Jing at a price of 20 million. Therefore, mastering Deyi's technology can be commercialized immediately. The STN liquid crystal display technology transferred by Deyi is still the mainstream of the current low-end market.
After two consecutive days of technical discussion meetings, Lu Jing sent Zhou Zhilong and the others back to Hong Kong, and then transferred back to Jiangzhou. When he was about to get on the plane, Chen Suzi couldn't help but complain: "It's really no fun to go on a business trip with you." The few people who stayed in New York for Global IELTS have been playing for more than ten days. ”
Lu Jing smiled: "If you want, I will send you to the United States." However, Su Zi, it seems that you are studying the domestic legal system, which is different from the American legal system, can you be competent for the relevant work? ”
"I can't learn?" Chen Suzi despised Lu Jing. waved his hand, carried a small bag through the security check, and muttered, "Flower ghost." She naturally found that Zhang Li and Ding Ling had a very unusual relationship with Lu Jing. That look was no different from when Song Yuqi looked at Lu Jing, and even had affection.
After bidding farewell to the Jinghua team led by Zhou Zhilong. Lu Jing didn't stay in Silicon Valley for long, and flew to New York non-stop. Chen Suzi is right. Zhang Li: They played for more than ten days. Xie Zhenwen was very interested in the study abroad business of Global IELTS, and quickly negotiated the conditions for joining. He personally holds a 2% stake in Global IELTS and joins Global IELTS.
Lu Jing settled Wang Yanran and her mother in a high-class community in New York early, and hired two reputable special medical staff to take care of their daily life. There is also a Chinese female lawyer hired by Jinghua Company, who is attached to EVF and is responsible for handling daily chores. Familiarity with U.S. law is the first step to adjusting to life here. Zeng Hongying will also stay behind to take care of their safety.
After arranging this qiē, Lu Jing was ready to fly back to Hong Kong. (To be continued......)
