1991 Starting from the core

"Technology, sometimes it is really linked to each other. It can neither be created out of nothing nor be achieved overnight." After lamenting that he had to follow Apple's old path of not allowing battery replacement, Su Yuanshan thought of what would follow. It's all about various fast charging technologies - fortunately, Suo Xin's laboratory has always been at the forefront of the world in this regard, so he doesn't need to think too much.

Several senior brothers were a little confused by his words. After several people looked at each other, Qin Weimin laughed and scolded: "What you said is absolutely correct."

"Haha, just sighing... As the development of technology becomes more and more clear, it is really not easy to open up or subvert an industry or a field as easily as before... Yuanxin's mobile phones can be used in the past. There will always be surprises every year... and they are still disruptive - from the beginning of playing MP3, to the color screen and camera on the back, to the YOS app store, to the capacitive touch screen, Siri voice assistant, fingerprint system... These have contributed to our previous brand status and appeal.”

“But now, it’s really difficult to introduce new and refreshing features. We can only rely on changes in the pattern to derive new concepts.”

Su Yuanshan shook his head, stopped the topic, and then looked at Tang Wenjie: "Brother Tang, how are you preparing over there?"

Tang Wenjie smiled confidently: "Everything is ready, all we need is the east wind."

"Okay." Su Yuanshan took out his phone, took a look at it, and breathed out softly: "Then we will wait for Dongfeng."

——The so-called Dongfeng is naturally Cui Taiyuan.

Zhou Xiaohui has been in charge of SK Telecom for five years. Not only has she completed SK Telecom’s monopoly in the United States, she has also completed the internationalization of SK Telecom. She has led SK Telecom to successfully complete cooperation with Yuanxin and Xinghai in Southeast Asia and North America. The two companies joined forces and introduced the telecommunications business to the world.

Especially in Southeast Asia, whether it was before or after the Asian financial crisis, Cui Taiyuan never thought that one day, SK Telecom, a telecommunications company based in the United States, would be able to expand its business to Southeast Asia.

In addition, Zhou Xiaohui also led SK Telecom to win half of the Korean Internet with her tough tactics and style-several well-known localized Internet companies in the country are all covered by the shadow of SK Telecom-and is doing so. When making these investments, Cui Taiyuan had concerns at the time, because he was shocked by the shock caused by the bursting of the Internet bubble to Nasdaq. If Zhou Xiaohui hadn't told him that the Korean Internet must have the existence of SK Telecom, and The Internet will definitely bring rewards in the near future... Maybe SK Telecom missed the resurgence of the Internet and missed it.

As for SK Telecom's achievements in the semiconductor field and the officially launched SK smart home appliance series... without exception, Zhou Xiaohui has made great contributions.

Not to mention, because of the cooperation with Yuanxin, the entire SK Group was able to successfully enter the mainland and win many cooperation with many gas stations and oil refining and exploration.

Therefore, when Zhou Xiaohui gave birth, Cui Taiyuan had to come.

Two days later, Cui Taiyuan's plane arrived as scheduled.

The other party is currently the head of the largest chaebol group in Bangkok. Yuanxin also gave him face, and directly let the chairman Chen Jing take action and personally picked him up at the airport and picked him up at the hotel. Immediately afterwards, Su Yuanshan accompanied him to the hospital and visited Zhou Xiaohui, who was recuperating after giving birth.

After completing this process, Su Yuanshan accompanied Lao Cui to his new office.

"If the location hadn't changed, I would have thought your office hadn't changed."

Cui Taiyuan looked at the interior layout, which was almost exactly the same as Su Yuanshan's old office, and joked.

"Haha, I'm nostalgic, and I don't want to adapt to the old things, so I just fully recovered." Su Yuanshan walked to the filing cabinet, took out a box of tea, and made Cui Taiyuan a cup himself Tea. Then he sat down in front of Cui Taiyuan and looked at him with a smile: "Brother Cui, have you thought about it?"

"No." Cui Taiyuan shook his head with a smile.

Su Yuanshan also smiled and shook his head.

Lao Cui is still ambitious and cannot be treated as a mere chaebol - if it were a pure businessman like HK Lao Li, he would have agreed long ago.

"Let me be honest, Hynix still lacks high-end competitiveness - although Hynix currently has a shipment rate of 40%, it almost all relies on low prices and volume. This is Point, you don’t deny it, do you?”

Of course Cui Taiyuan couldn't deny it.

It is almost a recognized fact that Su Yuanshan is the leader of the semiconductor industry in East Asia and even the Asian region. Whether it is his outlook on semiconductor technology or his judgment on the market, all have been formalized by time.

There is no need to argue in front of him.

"And we know...semiconductors have periodic cold winters." Su Yuanshan looked at Cui Taiyuan calmly, paused and then asked with a smile: "Brother Cui, we know that semiconductors have periodic cold winters. One of the factors - or one of the most important factors is overcapacity - and among them, the storage market is the first to bear the brunt."

"Whether the economy enters a cycle, or PCs and electronic products enter a period of stagflation, when the expanding production capacity encounters these cycles, winter will come immediately - this has been confirmed."

"I know that as we enter the 21st century, as we drive the smartphone industry into an explosive period, the storage market also rises. It seems to be smooth sailing, and it has created the current prosperity and status of Hynix. But when the next cycle comes, , what should we do if we are not prepared?" Su Yuanshan looked at Cui Taiyuan: "Brother Cui, please give me a way."

Cui Taiyuan had obviously carefully considered all possibilities. After hearing this, he calmly said a proverb: "There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain."

Su Yuanshan was startled, then burst into laughter.

Cui Taiyuan also looked at Su Yuanshan with a smile: "I don't believe that President Shan will leave Hynix alone when the time comes - don't forget, Hynix also has shares in Yuanxin."

"Well, yes, we have a shareholding. But Brother Cui, give me a reason to invest hundreds of millions of dollars in R\u0026D funds into the memory architecture and technology fields every year, just to win over Hynix in the future. ?" Su Yuanshan said and shook his head: "This won't work. Even if I want to, Mr. Chen and Mr. Duan will not agree."

Cui Taiyuan coughed.

"Brother Cui, I can probably imagine what you are worried about - in fact, there is no need to worry. We can establish a new high-end brand in the trade zone."

Hearing this, Cui Taiyuan blinked suddenly: "How can it be established?"

"Between you and me, it's a 40-60 split. Then we invest in the technology research and development department at the same time, and the new company licenses the existing Hynix, and we can even launch another memory brand. It's not just about launching memory particles, but launching Memory brand.”

"In this way we can achieve comprehensive coverage from technology to market, from high-end to mid-to-low-end." After a pause, Su Yuanshan stared at Cui Taiyuan and said seriously: "Brother Cui, besides... I want to say something Yes. I am afraid that no one in this world has more adventurous spirit and courage than me to invest capital in a certain field of semiconductors regardless of the cost."

Cui Taiyuan held the tea cup and fell into silence.

Su Yuanshan's last words were very crazy.

But he had to admit that this was true.

——Yuanxin’s capital structure has been established, and although all of its influence is hidden below the water’s surface, he fully believes that when Yuanxin really wants to “go against the grain” to compete with the semiconductor cycle, Yuanxin... can resist it. past.

The premise is that Yuanxin is willing to resist.

He knows Su Yuanshan too well - this person can make a lot of concessions in order to achieve his goal, but the premise is that the goal must be achieved.

He fully believed that if he really refused and really wanted to grab Hynix, Su Yuanshan would definitely choose to create a memory particle company on his own - the semiconductor field was nothing more than throwing money at it.

Yuanxin is rich, and Su Yuanshan is also rich.

After seeing Yuan Xin becoming more and more wealthy, more and more daring to face any opponent, and showing arrogance in front of his opponents... Cui Taiyuan was not willing to become a rival with Yuan Xin.

To be precise, he was unwilling to become a rival with Su Yuanshan.

In this case... cooperation is the only option.

After being silent for a long time, Cui Taiyuan took a sip of tea and suddenly felt that the tea was a bit bitter.

"What's a good name?"

Su Yuanshan blinked: "You have the final say."

"Yuanjing?"

"Okay, you have the final say." Su Yuanshan still nodded with a smile.

Before SK changed its name, it was called Sunkyung.

Two days later, Su Yuanshan put Cui Taiyuan on a flight to the capital, where Wang Chuanfu, executive director of Yuanxin and CEO of Suoxin, was waiting for him.

As a "return", Su Yuanshan gave Lao Cui a big pie, and at the same time actively promoted Lao Cui to participate in the construction of domestic gas stations - even though clean energy has been included in the country's future development plan, at the current high-speed construction speed In highway service areas, gas stations are still indispensable.

Su Yuanshan returned to the science and technology park, and Duan Yongping came to the door.

"Why do I see Lao Cui looking a little unhappy this time?"

Duan Yongping was sitting on the sofa, drinking tea and smiling.

"If you are forced to submit, no one will be happy." Su Yuanshan smiled and shook his head: "There is no way, he also knows that we must get the memory particles in our hands, and he doesn't dare to bet on whether we can create another one similar to A memory empire like the Flash Memory Empire comes out..."

——Yuanxin has been involved in flash memory particles for eight years. From the beginning, it has faced Intel, the king of the flash memory market at that time. Over the past eight years, flash memory particles have opened up new fields with Yuanxin, such as USB flash drives, MP3s, digital products, and mobile phones. , driving recorders and other new products... Yuanxin has completely taken the new throne in the flash memory particle market.

Intel and SanDisk, even if they form an alliance, will only have a place in solid-state drives - but as Yuanzhong Microelectronics continues to catch up and optimize the main control chip, and Chengdian Hi-Tech has won the After Inspur, it took advantage of the Internet's resurgence to directly complete the "internal cycle" of the entire ecosystem. Inspur servers firmly dominated the domestic market and also gave Yuanxin solid-state hard drives guaranteed orders.

Technology can always be caught up. With the support of the latest main control chip, Intel's solid-state drives no longer have an advantage over Yuanxin's solid-state drives - or in other words, the advantages have become volatile.

As for other fields, such as the mobile phone market, not to mention, it is all dominated by FarCore flash memory - in addition to the Vidoo series, there are also mobile phone manufacturers such as Sony, Xinghai, Giant, and Zhongxin, all of which are customers of FarCore flash memory.

Even Intel cannot compete with such a huge interest group.

Cui Taiyuan obviously knew this.

"Haha, so you helped him get off the hook?"

"Well, a slap in the face is more important than a sweet date... We are not old Americans, we are very good to our friends." Su Yuanshan said and shrugged: "And according to sister Xiaohui's feedback, in fact, Lao Cui This man... His main focus at the beginning was on the oil, gas and chemical industry. When he found us, he saw an opportunity and gave it a try. But he didn't expect that we would help him find such a bright future... Now he It's normal to be a little worried about gains and losses. It'll be fine once he figures it out - high technology requires people to build it and money to invest in it. Obviously, he doesn't have the courage."

"Yes!" Duan Yongping nodded in agreement, and looked at Su Yuan with a smile: "Then I will leave it to your senior brother to take charge?"

"Well, it doesn't count..." Su Yuanshan replied casually. Seeing Duan Yongping looking at him with a smile, he was suddenly startled... Could it be that Old Duan wanted to come?

After pondering for two seconds, Su Yuanshan asked: "Do you have a suitable candidate?"

Duan Yongping coughed.

Su Yuanshan laughed: "Don't be such an old man, we are all our own people - Senior Brother Tang Wenjie has been in charge of the science and technology park in Singapore. If he leaves, it will be a carrot and a trap. If you really have a suitable candidate, I can't wait to do it."

"Uh... Okay. Actually, it can't be the right people, but I personally think... After the establishment of Yuanjing Electronics, the most important task is not to produce results within a certain amount of time, but to fully integrate the two sides. Team." Duan Yongping paused as he spoke: "Do you think this is true?"

"Well, that's the truth."

"So, I think... Xiaohu is good. At that time, he followed me to Yuanxin. He was the only one who directly entered the scientific research department, and he also achieved certain results in the Shanghai stock market."

Su Yuanshan nodded slightly and quickly thought of Liu Xiaohu in Duan Yongping's mouth - after following Duan Yongping here, this man indeed took the initiative to join the processor team in Shanghai because of his obsession with domestic CPUs. It is said to be responsible for the cache first and then the memory controller.

According to his profession, he can lead the team.

But there must always be a reason.

Seeing Su Yuanshan looking at him, Duan Yongping smiled slightly: "I heard that he and Lao Gao had some differences."
