My Age of Investment

Two days after the party, Dai Weili and her husband Zhou Xiuwen visited the Silicon Valley campus of Fuxing Industrial Group.

Xia Jingxing personally went to the door to greet the couple and shook hands with them enthusiastically.

"Ms. Dai, Mr. Zhou, on behalf of Fuxing Industry, I welcome you to come and guide the work."

"Don't take it as a guide. Mr. Xia, you are now the pride of our Chinese people around the world and a leader in technology entrepreneurs. When we come to you, we also come to learn from you."

Dai Weili is in her forties, with heavy makeup on her face and a noodle head. At first glance, you can tell she is a talkative and outgoing woman.

On the contrary, her husband Zhou Xiuwen had a very reserved personality. He quietly watched his wife chatting with Xia Jingxing and rarely interrupted.

This is a standard husband-and-wife entrepreneurial partnership where the male leads the household and the female leads the outside.

Xia Jingxing welcomed the couple into the reception room, asked Liu Xiaoduo to make tea, and drank tea with them while chatting.

"Domestic semiconductors are developing very rapidly. I heard from my elder brother that Mr. Xia's Vision Capital and Fuxing Industrial Fund have invested in many semiconductor companies in the past year or two."

Dai Weili put down his teacup and looked at Xia Jingxing with a smile on his face.

Xia Jingxing smiled and said: "The reason for the rapid development is that the overall level of chips was too backward before. However, this is an extremely important industry and cannot lag behind forever, so there is a lot of room for development. This is the value of our investment." Where.”

Dai Weili nodded lightly, "After listening to Mr. Xia's analysis, the complex problem immediately became simple. China's chip industry is indeed very valuable for investment.

My eldest brother returned to his hometown in Shanghai to start a business seven years ago. The company is next to Huaxin International and very close to Fuxing Semiconductor.

We at Marvell also plan to enter the Chinese market this year. We have also changed the original Chinese name "Marvell" to a more Chinese-style "Merry Electronics", which means happiness and contentment. "

Xia Jingxing smiled and nodded, "Good name, good idea. Mr. Dai put the opportunity of mobile phone chip breakthrough in the Chinese market, which is a very far-sighted idea."

Dai Weili pondered for a moment and then simply made the topic clear: "Mr. Xia, I boldly suggest that it is inappropriate for Fuxing Mobile to hand over all chip design and supply to Samsung!"

Zhou Xiuwen on the side trembled with her hand and almost spilled the tea in the cup.

He glanced at his wife, who was looking at Xia Jingxing with piercing eyes, not worried at all that this would offend Xia Jingxing and lead to a loss of business.

Xia Jingxing said calmly: "Then what does Mr. Dai think is appropriate?"

Dai Weili said confidently: "According to our visits and surveys, there are at least two or more suppliers in the supply chain of Fuxing Mobile. For example, for mobile phone OEM, you handed it over to Futukang and BYD at the same time.

Two or more suppliers can not only ensure the stability of the supply chain, prevent unexpected accidents from affecting the production plan, but also reduce costs.

The only exception is chip design and manufacturing, and all Fuxing mobile phones are handed over to Samsung.

Samsung has its own mobile phone business, which is a competitor of Fuxing Mobile. At the same time, Samsung's chip manufacturing companies are also in the same industry as Fuxing Semiconductor.

Mr. Xia, with all due respect, your supply chain is quite dangerous! "

Xia Jingxing looked at Dai Weili who looked calm and said in a very calm tone: "Samsung and Fuxing Mobile are strategic partners, and Samsung has also joined the Android Alliance.

Samsung has numerous businesses. In addition to supplying the needs of its own subsidiaries, it is also open to external customers to accept orders.

If it dares to cut off the supply of chips, it will affect not only the business income of a subsidiary, but also the goodwill of the entire enterprise. From now on, it can close the door and play on its own in South Korea. "

Dai Weili shook his head and laughed, "Mr. At that time, a single straw could decide which side the balance of victory would fall to."

Xia Jingxing smiled, "So, do you think we should hand over some of our chip design orders to Marvell Electronics?"

Dai Weili said neither humble nor arrogantly: "Yes, although we have just entered the field of mobile phone chips and do not have much technical advantages, we have entered this field with the determination to fight to the death. We are willing to be a long-term partner with Fuxing Mobile. Support and grow together.

As long as we enter the Fuxing mobile phone supply chain, we can provide the lowest cost.

and……"

Dai Weili looked at Xia Jingxing and said with emphasis: "We can set up a chip design center in China to serve Fuxing Mobile nearby."

Hearing these words, Xia Jingxing didn't react much and only kept a faint smile on his face.

The conditions offered by Marvelous Electronics were indeed very sincere, but there was a flaw.

"How long will it take for your processor performance to exceed that of S5L8900?"

Dai Weili replied seriously: "It will take time. After all, we have just entered the field of mobile phone processors. As long as Fuxing Mobile is willing to give us orders, with our technical foundation, we can soon launch processors with better performance."

"But Fuxing Mobile can't wait."

Xia Jingxing said with a serious expression: "The competition between us and the major mobile phone manufacturers has become fierce. Once one of our mobile phones falls behind, our current leading situation will be completely ended.

The revival of mobile phones cannot be pinned on your improvement of technology. "

Dai Weili was not discouraged at all, and replied seriously: "Mr. Xia, if the problem of the chip supply chain is not solved, this will always be your shortcoming.

Now that even Wisdom Fruit has acquired PA Semi and started to develop its own processor chips, there is really not much time left to revive mobile phones. "

Xia Jingxing's face turned ugly because he was comparing Fuxing Mobile Phone with the National Football Team? Don't be so insulting!

Dai Weili continued as if he did not see Xia Jingxing's expression: "If you really think about it, Fuxing Mobile's foundation is not deep and cannot be compared with Wisdom Fruit and Samsung.

To get rid of this situation, Mr. Xia needs to show your courage and determination and fight against the odds!

It doesn't matter even if it lags behind temporarily, after all, smartphones have just sprouted, and this era of mobile phone revolution has just begun, and there is still a chance to make amends.

If we wait until five or ten years later to revive mobile phones and try to make up for it, it will be too late, because the gap in processor chip technology at that time will only be wider. "

Zhou Xiuwen on the side quickly bumped his wife's thigh with his leg and told her to stop talking. Didn't you see that Mr. Xia was so angry that he stopped talking?

Xia Jingxing wasn't angry and didn't speak because he was thinking.

Although the other party's words sounded nice, they were true.

It’s just three years of hard work, how can it be better than the efforts of several generations?

All in all, Fuxing Mobile has only been established for three years, while Wisdom Fruit and Samsung are both companies that have been around for decades and generations.

Isn't it normal to have a gap?

Thinking of this, Xia Jingxing felt relieved.

Fuxing Mobile is currently in full bloom, but in fact it is overdrafted and explosive. The upcoming mobile phone battle is a long-distance race, and the competition is endurance.

"Mr. Xia, I speak more directly, please don't be offended!

If you think what I said is wrong, just take it as a joke!

If you think it makes sense, please consider my proposal for cooperation. "

After saying that, Dai Weili looked at Xia Jingxing with a sincere smile, showing off the demeanor of a strong woman.
