Chapter 115 [I'm going to put the Internet in my pocket]
On the one hand, there is the progress of the [Azure] plan, and on the other hand, the concept of mobile Internet is born.
For large enterprises, especially giant companies, they are often not anxious about competitors, but confused about the future path. The competitor is very strong, but you at least know him, there is a saying that "the person who knows you best is not yourself, but your opponent", and the real anxiety is the ignorance of the future, and the unknown is the biggest worry or even fear.
When someone suddenly jumped out, it pointed out a broad road to the future.
It can well be imagined.
When Luo Sheng revealed his hole cards, Xu Zhijun and other high-level executives were simply shocked, and had a faint premonition that his hole cards were more than these, and they were definitely only showing the tip of the iceberg.
Luo Sheng's words "I want to put the Internet in my pocket" pierced the hearts of everyone at the top of the entire ploughshare like a bullet.
If you don't dare to bet on this, why should you get to the top of the world?
Obviously, the ploughshare did not hesitate for long.
Thus, Lens Semiconductor was founded.
According to the agreement, it will take ten years for these trade secrets to be declassified, but now no one in the outside world wants to get them, and they are all in a state of self-isolation.
Luo Sheng is creating another kind of legend, and the industry no longer knows how to comment on him, and there are major world-renowned top VC institutions rushing to him, and now there is Huawei to reach a cooperation agreement with him that is extremely unequal no matter how you look at it.
Many people racked their brains to figure out how Luo Sheng did it, could he manipulate people's hearts?
Throughout the history of the global business world, there is no second identical example to refer to, the analyst who studied Luo Sheng said that he wanted to strike, because this Nima really can't analyze and study!
But no matter what, Lens Semiconductor was founded.
The media really wanted to do an interview with Luo Sheng, but they refused all the interviews and program invitations, not to mention that there was no time, even if there was, it was better to play a few piano songs at home to cultivate his sentiments, and no matter how bad it was, he would even choose to go to World of Warcraft to brush up on the book.
It's been a month or two since Blizzard Entertainment launched World of Warcraft.
……
A week later.
"It's done, 10.5 billion five-year loans."
Qin Weimu came to Luo Sheng's office, and also brought two middle-aged men in formal clothes, Luo Sheng looked up, and the beautiful lawyer entered the office, and after a few simple words, he stood quietly aside.
"So fast?" Luo Sheng was quite surprised and said, it is indeed different if there is a relationship, this is not 1.05 million, but a huge amount of 10.5 billion, and Qin Weimu can do it within a week.
"If you want to take 35% of the Cote d'Azur equity pledge, you can sign it if you think it's okay, and 500 million will be released in three days, and the full loan will be completed in seven installments after a month." Qin Weimu added.
At the same time, one of the strange middle-aged men immediately took out the contract from the briefcase he was carrying, held it with both hands, and said humbly to the young man who was ten or twenty years younger than himself on the desk: "Mr. Luo, please take a look." ”
Qin Weimu saw that Luo Sheng didn't even read the content of the contract, and directly signed and stamped it quickly, obviously trusting her almost unreservedly, and couldn't help but feel a touch of emotion in his heart, and his favorability for him inadvertently rose a lot.
With the endorsement of Ploughshare, it is different.
For banks, Luo Sheng's equity pledge risk of Bluestar Technology is too high, but the Cote d'Azur company is different, it has a certain amount of heavy assets, especially in the establishment of a strategic cooperation agreement with Huawei.
On the contrary, the bank begged Luo Sheng to borrow money, and the reason was very simple, the Cote d'Azur company accounted for 34% of the equity of Lens Semiconductor, and this joint venture company, which had just been established, could get 15% of the company's sales for research and development every year, as well as a guaranteed capital line of 500 million US dollars, and the risk of taking the equity pledge of the Cote d'Azur was much lower than that of Bluestar Technology.
As the top 100 consumer electronics enterprises in China, this name is the most powerful guarantee.
I have to say that one step is smooth, one step is smooth, the deep-seated reasons are complex but not difficult to sort out, but in the eyes of many people, Luo Sheng has undoubtedly created a series of incredible legendary deeds.
With the overall spin-off of the "Blue Core" project and the move into the subsidiary Lens Semiconductor, the R&D expenses of this core chip, Luo Sheng's Cote d'Azur company does not need to pay a penny, starting from next year, it will be able to get the R&D funds injected by Huawei every year, and the starting point is also 1.4 billion yuan of R&D funds.
However, the [Azure] planning department of the Cote d'Azur is not only to do chip research and development, but also other hardware research and development, such as multi-point screen technology research and development, as well as software level research and development, as well as the construction of production lines, plus the production and manufacturing of mobile phones, the procurement of some devices, the supply chain of foundries, etc., all need money.
The R&D project moved to Lens Semiconductor is only a "blue core" project, and not a spin-off of the entire "Cote d'Azur laboratory" from the company to Lens Semiconductor.
As the new year approaches, Criviera has completed all of these tasks in the last days of December this year, and the results have exceeded expectations.
Luo Sheng is responsible for personally leading the research and development of the mobile processor project within Lens Semiconductor, and he does not have to meddle in other projects, of course, if he wants, Huawei not only will not refuse, but is very happy, and there is no problem with giving Huawei's shares and the board of directors, and it is simply amazing to see his amazing talent and forward-thinking in the field of ASIC design by understanding the [Azure] plan.
However, Luo Sheng obviously does not have the time and energy, and the two companies of Cote d'Azur and Bluestar Technology are enough for him to be busy.
After the two sides reached a strategic cooperation, Luo Sheng immediately looked for Hua as an important person, the number is 3,500 excellent engineers to join the [Azure] plan, Hua Wei is also not stingy, from its more than 30,000 employees selected 3,500 backbone to Luo Sheng, not hiding at all, after all, the agreement has been signed, the two sides are equivalent to people in the same boat.
This boat of friendship can't be said to capsize, if it capsizes on both sides, it will be greatly damaged, this is the real glory and loss.
According to the agreement, the two sides have broken through the talent barrier and created a foundation for the talent flow of the two enterprises. The 3,500 engineers who were "fired" by the plough were all taken by the Cote d'Azur, and they were all taken according to the treatment they had received from the plough.
In order to ensure that these thousands of engineers who were transferred to the post had no worries, Hua guaranteed the treatment they were returned.
The employee incentive model of the Cote d'Azur company is highly regarded with the ploughshare, which is much easier to implement in the flow of human resources, and it can even be said that for this group of transferred employees, it is a change of place, the treatment is basically the same, and the work rhythm will not change much.
At present, the company's employees have expanded to more than 5,000 people, of which more than 4,500 are all kinds of technical research and development talents, accounting for more than 90%, and the rest are the company's clerical personnel.
If the acquisition of Reed Communications is to give the Cote d'Azur a good foundation, then the cooperation with Huawei is equivalent to the dragon's wings, and the flying dragon is only in the sky.
……
The Cote d'Azur has finally settled down, with a loan of 10.5 billion and 500 million in advance, which has also solved the current shortage of funds for the Cote d'Azur, and the rest of the [Azure] plan has been on paper for the rest of the project, which is now supported by sufficient funds and human resources.
It can be said that it has laid all the foundations for the next crazy climbing technology.
2004 is a thing of the past, whether it is Bluestar Technology or the Cote d'Azur, 2004 is a perfect year.
In 2005, both Cote d'Azur and Bluestar Technology entered a critical period.
The new year of the Côte d'Azur is extremely crucial, and whether the goals of 2005 can be achieved as expected will be directly related to whether the products can be successfully launched in 2006.
The Internet start-up founded in February 2003 has now gone through 20 months and has not made a profit for 20 consecutive months.
In 2005, [BlueSpace], which has a user base of more than 300 million, will begin to enter the profitable stage.
Whether the myth of Bluestar Technology can continue, the financial report of the first quarter of 2005 will be a decisive moment, in case of overturning, not as expected by the market, all the investor mentality will have to explode on the spot, which lasted for more than a year will also be shattered.
Luo Sheng just likes this feeling of heartbeat, and everyone likes to play with heartbeat.
