The representative of Huahong felt shocked at the impracticality of the meat eaters. He was shocked and then understood. It was precisely because he did not understand the situation on the front line that he needed to investigate.
It is not twenty years from now. The hidden attributes of Huahong's corporate nature are not worth mentioning in the face of the treatment of private enterprises.
He felt helpless and said calmly: "We have also considered this plan. At the same time, Xinxin has also expressed its willingness to cooperate with us in the field of R&D on different occasions. Cooperation is possible, but there may be some problems in talent training.
The problem here is similar to the siphoning effect of countries such as Lion City, Neon, and Korea on the talents we have trained in the integrated circuit field. After knowing the treatment provided by Xinxin, it is difficult for employees who go to Xinxin to receive training and work without thinking. The idea of job hopping came up.
In addition, they have been training at Xinxin for at least half a year. If they do not perform well, their training value is limited, and their value to Huahong is also limited. Once they perform well, Xinxin will also take a fancy to such valuable talents.
Once a mechanism is formed, the talents trained in this training mechanism will be continuously attracted by new cores in the future. "
The gravity of the real world is always more direct than the light of idealism, not to mention that idealism was even dimmer twenty years ago than it is now.
"At the end of the first quarter of this year, Huahong and Xinxin established a joint venture. All the employees of an 8-inch chip production plant in Shenhai were transferred to the newly established joint venture." Huahong's The representative paused after speaking.
The other party responded as expected: "I know about this matter. This has triggered a lot of discussion in our country. In the process of cooperation between state-owned assets and private capital or overseas capital, whether the cooperation model of same shares with different rights involves the loss of assets."
China is a conservative and progressive country in the world, and the same is true in terms of capital operations. All kinds of outrageous operations emerge in an endless stream, but it is extremely conservative in some fields.
The cooperation model between Huahong and Xinxin has made local governments ready to take action, because this is not ten years ago. After UnionPay went online, it had unprecedented financial control over local state-owned enterprises.
In this form, if we cooperate with private capital and still maintain the controlling rights of state-owned enterprises, but hand over the actual management rights of the enterprises to private entrepreneurs, can we avoid UnionPay's control? Continue to profit from state-owned enterprises in new cooperation models for individuals.
After Shenhai took the first step in the cooperation model of same shares with different rights, other places soon followed. As for the reasons mentioned above, it is only one of them. Some of them really want to revitalize some not-so-good assets. The place.
Therefore, whether this model is good or not can only be tested by time.
After the research representative finished speaking, the Huahong representative said: “For us, the cooperation with Xinxin has brought us a new management model and advanced concepts.
Because Huahong not only has one 8-inch production line at Shenhai, Huahong NEC also has two 8-inch production lines. So after Xinxin took over Huahong’s production line, we sent some engineers to learn from the production line that Xinxin took over. .
Most of Xinxin's front-line engineers come from places like Texas Instruments, IBM, and Intel. Their management experience and production experience are quite different from Neon, and there is a lot to learn from.
However, once engineers who have gone to Xinxin's production line to study, they will all inquire about whether they can be transferred to the joint venture company established by Xinxin and Huahong after they come back. This desire is particularly strong.
Why? Because Xinxin’s treatment for junior engineers is twice that of Huahong, its treatment for mid-level engineers is three times that of Huahong, and its treatment for senior engineers is five times that of Huahong.
If any engineer hears that the work they do is similar, they can learn more at Xinxin. Xinxin will give outstanding engineers the opportunity to study abroad at public expense, not necessarily to a university, but also to Texas Instruments. , Intel and other companies learned from this.
In terms of various benefits, Huahong cannot compare with Xinxin, so if we send people to Xinxin to study, there is a high probability that they will come up with different ideas. "
IBM now also has a chip foundry business. While they have their own chip foundry business, they also make money by selling advanced patents in the field of chip manufacturing.
After IBM fell behind in the chip foundry field, they paid $1.5 billion to transfer the chip foundry business to GlobalFoundries.
If Lenovo buys a ThinkPad in a few years, IBM might give it away for free.
"I understand. The fundamental problem is that companies have no profits. Without profits, companies cannot pay their employees wages that match the market price. It is difficult for us to achieve breakthroughs in the field of chip design." The research representative concluded, and then he Asked again:
"So how does Hua Hong plan to solve this problem?
The problem is temporary, we can't just keep looking at this problem without solving it?
Many people are watching the cooperation between Huahong and Xinxin, and many people are paying attention to whether this cooperation model can work.
Judging from the current situation, the fundamental reason why the production lines after the merger of Xinxin and Huahong can have such outstanding data is that Xinxin's chip design capabilities are strong enough, and they can design chips with absolute technical advantages in a certain field. Sell chips through technological advantages.
In other words, if we adopt a similar model to cooperate with other semiconductor companies in the future, we also need the semiconductor company to have strong enough chip design capabilities. "
Since Zhou Xin is behind Xinxin, the UnionPay proposed by Zhou Xin has affected the interests of too many people, so many people are staring at the cooperation between Xinxin and Huahong. If this cooperation fails, they will be able to find a lot of criticism. reasons and excuses.
Of course, even if the cooperation between Xinxin and Huahong is a great success, there will still be reasons to attack. The most typical one is the loss of assets: If you can do it without looking for cooperation with Xinxin, why should you give up control?
A representative of Huahong said: “This is difficult because semiconductor design companies with such chip strength will not think of acquiring chip foundry companies.
Because it is now a trend to separate chip design, chip foundry, chip packaging and testing, and chip sales, fewer and fewer companies are obsessed with doing everything at once.
If it is a company that focuses on chip design from the beginning, they have long-term partners and a stable source of chip foundry, and there is no need or need to enter the chip foundry field.
Vertical chip manufacturing companies like Samsung, also known as single-source chip manufacturing companies, cooperate with Huahong and give Huahong limited chip foundry orders. They will definitely give priority to supplying Samsung's own chip factories, and then If Samsung itself is unwilling to do it, only orders with low profit margins will go to the joint venture.
Therefore, we have also done internal research and judgment on this current model, and almost only Xinxin can provide this kind of cooperation conditions.
Another very important point is that Huahong's chip production line technology can only be said to be relatively advanced, one generation behind the most advanced chip manufacturing processes. "
The outside world may think that the success of Xinxin (Huahong) is easy, as if it can be achieved easily, and it can be achieved by changing partners.
However, Huahong has done many internal studies and judgments, and no matter how many partners it chooses, it will not be able to achieve the level of Xinxin.
Xinxin not only has strong R&D capabilities, but more importantly, they have vast resources in Silicon Valley and can sell chips to giants in the consumer electronics field such as Sony and Apple.
If you switch to other partners, they have technical advantages. It takes time to transform the technical advantages into market advantages. For Xinxin, this time is extremely short.
Because of this, Huahong and Xinxin confirmed their cooperation at the end of March, and it will be effective in May. If Samsung comes, they will have to cut off their own business and move it from the left hand to the right hand for Huahong.
At the end of the first quarter, in addition to the cooperation between Huahong and Xinxin, Lei Jun also boarded a plane to San Francisco. After repeated thinking, he finally decided to accept the offer from Zhou Xinxin.
Zhou Xin gave him two months to hand over the work. After all, as the president of Kingsoft Software and the founder of Joyo.com, he had a lot of work to hand over.
"From the company's point of view, I really don't want you to leave. Without you, Kingsoft Software is missing the most important general. Whether it is the follow-up work or the subsequent development of WPS, including Kingsoft's subsequent listing plan, without you the entire Time schedules need to be re-evaluated.
Originally, I planned to hand over all the things I was doing to you one after another. Now that I am in charge of Swordsman Love and you are in charge of other businesses, I can just work on the game itself, which is more interesting than office software.
If you go to Silicon Valley, I will have no choice but to go back to my old job. "Qiu Bojun said.
Lei Jun had a good chat with Qiu Bojun before making a decision. As Lei Jun's guide, Qiu Bojun brought him into Kingsoft and gave Lei Jun great trust.
Including Joyo.com’s venture, it also received investment from Kingsoft Software. If Lei Jun leaves Jinshan to accept Zhou Xin's offer, he must obtain Qiu Bojun's consent no matter what.
If the other party disagrees or shows intention to stay, Lei Jun will choose to stay.
Kingsoft Software is in a good situation at this time. It has three product lines at the same time, one is office software, and the other is Kingsoft Antivirus. Kingsoft Antivirus launched in the millennium also has a large domestic market. The last one is games. They previously launched "Swordsman Love" "Widely acclaimed.
After being impacted by last year's "Legend", Kingsoft decided to also make an online game version of "Swordsman Love", and Qiu Bojun was in charge of this matter.
Upon seeing this, Lei Jun immediately said: "I didn't say I wanted to leave, but I discussed it with you. In fact, I can't make this decision in my heart. Leaving Jinshan is easy to say, but I spent half of my youth in Jinshan. I I joined Kingsoft when I was 23 years old, and I am now 33 years old.
I don't want to leave Jinshan emotionally. "
Later, even though Lei Jun founded Xiaomi, he still held the position of Kingsoft Software.
Qiu Bojun interrupted: "I don't want you to leave from the perspective of Kingsoft Software, but from the personal relationship between the two of us, I think going to Matrix is a rare opportunity for you.
It may even be the most precious opportunity in your life. Personally, I absolutely support you in going to Silicon Valley to try it out.
No matter how Kingsoft develops, it can only be valued at a few hundred million, and the valuation unit is still RMB. But if you go to Silicon Valley and develop well, the valuation will be calculated in US dollars. Your contemporaries like Ma Yun and Ma Huateng are in Silicon Valley is booming.
Including Li Yanhong, who became the second richest Chinese after Baidu went public not long ago. Without exception, these people all received help from Zhou Xin before going to Silicon Valley to work hard.
Zhou Xin not only has a strong ability to start his own business, but he also has a very accurate eye for looking at people and selecting projects. Since he has taken a fancy to you, he will definitely provide you with sufficient resources in the future.
While you are working at Matrix, if you have the idea of starting a business, Zhou Xin will definitely give you some resources. This is a very rare opportunity.
Not to mention that Matrix is a company that has changed the pattern of the mobile phone industry. Going to Matrix is definitely more interesting than following Microsoft at Kingsoft. We follow what Microsoft does with its office.
You are equivalent to changing from a follower to an industry leader, which is a completely different concept.
From the perspective of personal development, you can definitely achieve greater success and a more different life experience.
We have known each other for so many years, and I know you must be attracted by it. We are both programmers, and we have both used Mphone. We all know the potential of Mphone.
It is definitely not just a mobile phone, especially after it is equipped with an app store, it can be regarded as a handheld computer equipped with a call function, and even has a higher degree of freedom than a handheld computer.
According to this definition, many Internet companies will also be born in the mobile phone field in the future. "
Many people have vision and can see the future to a certain extent, but there are very few people who believe in the future they see and insist on doing it.
Lei Jun was a little silent after listening, because Qiu Bojun was right, he was indeed moved. If he hadn't been moved, he wouldn't have talked to Qiu Bojun at all.
I chatted with the other party firstly to seek their opinions, and secondly so that I would not have any psychological burden when leaving. “I really want to go, but I don’t have the confidence, and I’m not sure I can do it well. I went from Sanse Company to Jinshan, Both companies make office software, so there is actually no need to adapt.
To build Joyo.com, Joyo.com is also a software and an Internet application, and there is Amazon's model to learn from, so it is not difficult either.
We used to work in software, and Matrix is a hardware company, which is equivalent to switching jobs to Dell. I don't understand many places.
Including Mphone, it is the future development direction. We all know it, but how to develop it specifically? I have no idea.
Move all the applications on your computer?
Moreover, we have used Mphone. Due to geographical restrictions, I did not really experience all the subtleties of Mphone. There was nothing to learn from when I went to Matrix. I had no idea in which direction I wanted to develop, and there was no guidance.
I have a lot of classes to make up for, and I lack confidence, including my poor English. "
Qiu Bojun patted the other party: "What are you afraid of? Since Zhou Xin will come to you, it means that he has confidence in you. I also have confidence in you. You will definitely be able to do a good job.
As for your poor English, just find someone to teach you. It will be easy to practice it in a new environment.
As for the direction, there is no need to worry. With Zhou Xin here, you don’t need to worry about the future development direction of Mphone. "
