Chapter 361: The End of the Courtyard - Part II
After the completion of the merger with Huawei, Yan Jiecheng moved more than 100 people from the entire communications department to Shenzhen, and Ren Zhengfei led the expansion of the communication field to develop wireless communication technology.
In the future, Hongmeng Company will specialize in the network field with peace of mind, just at this time the domestic Internet field exploded, Ni Guangnan proposed to develop his own computer processor and operating system.
Yan Jiecheng thought that the company was not short of money anyway, so after thinking about it, he nodded and agreed, and Ni Guangnan took the lead in setting up a chip design department, and Yan Jiekuang took the lead in developing the operating system.
To this end, Yan Jiecheng also acquired several semiconductor production plants, including Wuxi Huajing, Shaoxing Huayue, Shanghai Belling, after the completion of the merger and acquisition, taking advantage of the fact that the United States has not yet begun to carry out a technical blockade of the country, quickly updated a batch of equipment.
The blockade of semiconductor equipment in China by the United States began only after the nineties, and now there are dozens of manufacturers that can produce semiconductor devices in China, all of which are equipment imported from the United States after 80 years.
At present, the technological gap at home and abroad is not as big as that of later generations, and these dozens of factories are still the world's mainstream when they first introduce equipment.
But after entering the 90s, these factories either closed down or changed to other products, and the main reason why they became like this is that they are too scattered to form a scale, and there is no money to update equipment and develop new processes.
Then there is the rapid upgrading of the semiconductor industry, these companies invest a lot of money, and they fall behind at the beginning of production, which forms a dead loop, and if you want to make money, you can only find another way out.
So when Yan Jiecheng came to the door, he proposed to merge and acquire the factory, update the equipment and keep the factory in the local area.
The local government agreed without even thinking about it, after all, it is a drag for these factories to remain in the hands of the local people, and even if they want to switch to other products, they have to invest a lot of money first.
As long as the employment problem of workers can be solved, let alone mergers and acquisitions, even if it is given to Yan Jiecheng, it will be fine.
Even if he can take advantage of it, Yan Jiecheng didn't take advantage of it, after all, some of the advantages are not so easy to take advantage of, and now it seems to be a loss, which is better than finding a back account.
It's just a little more money, and as for the company's shares, the three local governments together account for less than 3 percent.
After updating the equipment, the three factories were directly merged, and all the technicians were gathered together, as for the company name, Yan Jiecheng felt that Wuxi Huajing was good, but the place name of Wuxi should be removed.
After all, the sense of region is too strong and not conducive to unity, even if Wuxi doesn't matter, the other two cities must have opinions, it is better to call it "Huajing", and the province is back and forth.
With a wave of his hand, Yan Jiecheng directly gave 30 million yuan as this year's R&D funds.
Within a few months, China began to prepare for the construction of its own backbone network, and the main equipment supplier was Hongmeng.
From routers, switches to optical fibers, a complete set of equipment is provided by Hongmeng Company, for which other companies are not less jealous, but there is no way to take Hongmeng Company, who let them have no technology.
The state wants to find a few more suppliers, but none of them can be beaten.
In addition to the construction of the domestic backbone network, it has also received a lot of foreign orders, especially the little devils.
After all, we are now in the midst of the Internet explosion, about two or three years earlier than the original time and space.
And in the next ten years, it will be in a state of explosion, as long as the equipment is developed well, there is no worry about making money.
……………
July 1, 1997.
Today is a special day, not only the return of the port city, but also the day when Yan Jiecheng developed the first domestic computer in their company.
After more than eight years and hundreds of millions of R&D funds, it finally succeeded.
"Mr. Yan, give me a name." Ni Guangnan looked at the computer in front of him and said excitedly.
This computer was developed thanks to Yan Jiecheng, and after so many years, many people felt that their computer department should be abolished.
After all, since Microsoft launched the Chinese version of the operating system in ninety-five years, the personal computer market has matured.
More than ninety percent of the computers on the market are equipped with Microsoft's operating system and x86 processors.
Even if the company develops its own operating system and processor, it is unlikely to shake the market position of Microsoft and Intel.
"Well, the operating system is called Hongmeng OX, the processor is named Kunpeng 910, and as for this computer, it's called Pangu A1." Yan Jiecheng thought for a while and said.
"Mr. Yan, are we going to bring this computer to the market next?" Someone below couldn't help but ask.
"Now that it's been developed, it's going to be put on the market." Hearing this, Yan Jiecheng said without thinking about it,
"But our computer is not competitive in the market."
"Then replace all the computers in our company first, as well as Huawei and Huajing, and inform them that our company's own computers have been developed, and our own products will be used in the company in the future."
Yan Jiecheng doesn't have any good way, after all, as a rising star, it would be good to be able to develop it, and as for surpassing it, it is estimated that it will take a lot of time.
"This......... Even if all three of us purchase it, there won't be much sales, let alone recover the R&D expenses, and it is estimated that we will lose money for each unit produced." The man just now said a little speechlessly, he had opposed the company's entry into the computer field before.
After all, now that computer accessories have matured, all domestic computer companies, strictly speaking, are working for Microsoft and Intel.
Just like Lenovo, to put it bluntly, he is an assembly factory, there is no technical content at all, and anyone who understands computers can assemble it.
Yan Jiecheng also knew that it was difficult for the computers produced by their company to enter the civilian market for a while, and even if all the orders from public units were taken down, it would be difficult to recover the R&D funds he had invested.
Besides, with Lenovo, it is impossible for the official order to be all for yourself.
After all, China is a humane society, and it doesn't matter who it is, especially Lenovo, as a leading enterprise in the domestic computer market.
Especially since the outbreak of the Internet, the tide has risen, and last year's revenue has reached more than 20 billion yuan.
Among all private enterprises in China, it is second only to Hongmeng and Huawei, Hongmeng's revenue last year was 21.5 billion US dollars, and Huawei's was 36 billion yuan.
The reason why Huawei's receivables are so small is mainly because it is a little late, although the domestic deployment of second-generation communication equipment is several years earlier than the original time and space.
However, it was only in '95 that it began to be deployed, and it has only been more than two years since it was deployed, and only some major cities have been connected.
As for Huajing, it is still inconspicuous, although Yan Jiecheng has made continuous investment in recent years, but the production process is still a generation behind foreign countries.
It is two generations behind TSMC, the world's top company.
Mainly from 96 years, developed countries led by the United States began to blockade Chinese semiconductors.
TSMC, the world's top company, can produce 130nm chips, but Jinghua can only produce 167nm chips.
In order not to lag behind, Yan Jiecheng had to start investing in the field of semiconductor equipment manufacturing in advance.
Since the beginning of 95 years, he has intermittently invested in several factories and invested hundreds of millions of R&D funds, not that Yan Jiecheng does not want to invest more, mainly because of the lack of talents in the field of semiconductors in China, especially in the field of equipment manufacturing.
No matter how much money Yan Jiecheng invests, he can't produce equipment for a while.
So Yan Jiecheng had to spend money to support it, anyway, now the company is not bad for money, even if it loses billions every year, it doesn't matter.
As long as you can catch up later, even if you can't reach the world's top level, it doesn't matter if you are one or two generations behind, after all, not all equipment needs the top chip technology.
In addition to mobile terminal equipment, there are extremely strict requirements for power consumption, such as electrical appliances, telephones, communication base stations, automobiles, ......... These areas don't need top-notch chips.
Besides, foreign chips did not develop to 45 nanometers until 2010, and as long as they are willing to invest money, they can catch up.
Not to mention, as long as the domestic 28-nanometer lithography machine can be developed a few years in advance, the domestic situation will be much better at that time, and foreign forces led by the United States will not dare to unscrupulously strangle Huawei.
After all, a 28-nanometer lithography machine is theoretically enough to produce a 14-nanometer chip, and in the extreme case, a 10-nanometer chip can be produced.
You know, it wasn't until 2017 that TSMC developed a 10-nanometer chip process.
"Mr. Yan, Mr. Yan." Everyone saw that Yan Jiecheng was a little distracted, so they shouted.
"O, O, where did we just go?" Yan Jiecheng came back to his senses and asked everyone.
"How do you sell the computers you produce?"
Hearing this, Yan Jiecheng lowered his head and thought about it, since it can't be sold in the market, then it will be produced and sold by itself.
Set up an Internet café alliance to purchase computers produced by their own company, even if they don't make money, they want to occupy the market.
Isn't it just a loss of money, anyway, I've lost so much, and I don't care about that.
Thinking of this, Yan Jiecheng called Yu Li and asked her to notify the agents of the fried chicken restaurant from all over the country to come to the capital for a meeting.
From 1982 to the present more than ten years, the franchisees of fried chicken restaurants have grown from more than 1,000 at the beginning to 5,000 stores across the country.
They should be regarded as the first group of people in China to become wealthy, and these more than 5,000 people, each of whom opened an Internet café with 100 computers, that is, the sales of hundreds of thousands of units.
Moreover, ordinary people in China cannot afford to buy computers, and the only way to access the Internet is Internet cafes.
Isn't there such a saying in later generations, in the Internet field, those who get dicks win the world. These people can not only run Internet cafes, but also sell computers on their behalf.
But the only thing that can't be missing to open an Internet café is games, so Yan Jiecheng plans to buy several companies that develop games for his own computers.
As long as there are enough users, Yan Jiecheng doesn't believe that those software development companies will not come in, and eventually form a closed loop like Microsoft.
The first thing Yan Jiecheng thought of when acquiring a software company was Kingsoft, which occupies 80% of the domestic market share.
Moreover, Kingsoft also has its own game company, Xishan Jushi, if it can acquire Kingsoft, it will kill two birds with one stone.
So Yan Jiecheng went to Zhongguancun after the meeting, and now he is in charge of Jinshan, which is later known as the Chinese Rebus - Lei Jun.
When Lei Jun heard that Hongmeng was going to acquire Jinshan, he was stunned at first, and then directly refused.
Rebus didn't know why HarmonyOS wanted to buy Kingsoft, even though HarmonyOS ranked first among domestic private companies.
But it's a supplier of network equipment and doesn't have much influence in the computer software space.
And now that Jinshan has received a stake in Lenovo, although he was very polite to Yan Jiecheng's arrival, Rebus still refused to buy it.
After all, he still wants to make the company public, how can he let others buy it.
Seeing that the acquisition was unsuccessful, Yan Jiecheng didn't stay long, and went to Founder when he went out.
found the red-clothed sect leader Zhou Hongwei and offered to pay for him to set up a software company to develop software for his own computers.
Although Zhou Hongyi is now the business manager of Founder Group, he was still impressed by the establishment of a company led by himself.
In particular, the person who invited him was a well-known entrepreneur in China, so he agreed without thinking about it.
Within a few days, a company called 360 Cyber Security Software was founded.
Where it was founded, Yan Xie Chengcheng invested 100 million US dollars in it, letting Zhou Hongyi poach people everywhere, and the company's first task was to develop office software, security software, and games.
And Yan Jiecheng said that if the money is not enough, you can still invest, and if there is a company you like, you can also choose to acquire.
Hearing Yan Jiecheng's words, Zhou Hongyi's heart was moved, and he said that he would let Yan Jiecheng see his next performance.
So in the next few months, Zhou Hongyi attacked everywhere, acquiring a company in less than three days on average, and the money was not enough
Ask Yan Jiecheng.
In just half a year, there are more than 60 companies won by Zhou Hongyi, and the number of employees has reached more than 1,000.
It even alarmed all domestic Internet companies and called out the wolf.
Because Zhou Hongyi likes to wear red shirts, the people in the circle also gave him a resounding name - the red-clothed leader.
Yan Jiecheng didn't care about Zhou Hongyi's high-profile appearance, no matter how much money he spended, as long as he could do things well, the cost of time was more important than money itself in Yan Jiecheng.
When the software company was booming, Yan Jiecheng was not idle.
He first found BYD and asked Wang Chuanfu to manufacture his own computer, and then proposed a merger and acquisition.
is also a Shenzhen-listed enterprise, and he still understands Hongmeng and Huawei, and Yan Jiecheng said that after the merger, BYD will still be handed over to him to take care of.
The rest of the company did not interfere with BYD's operation, and Wang Chuanfu agreed.
After all, the shadow of a person's famous tree, besides, with Huawei in front, he has nothing to fear, and Yan Jiecheng's reputation can still be trusted.
The reason for the acquisition of BYD is also because it is not only a battery manufacturer, but also OEM electronic products, and will enter the automotive field in the future.
With his joining, Yan Jiecheng believes that BYD's development will definitely be more rapid than in the previous life.
At this point, Yan Jiecheng's layout was almost completed, and then the integration of resources began.
First of all, it acquired a car factory and handed it over to BYD, and then handed over Hongmeng's computer and Huawei's mobile phone business to BYD to OEM.
All of BYD's chips were handed over to Jinghua foundry, and BYD's battery business was also separated from BYD Welfare and a company specializing in battery research and development was established.
Finally, the chip design departments of Hongmeng, Huawei, and BYD were merged to form HiSilicon Semiconductor Chip Design Company.
