Rebirth, you call this an honest man?

Wang Heng and Sonyaude finally talked about US$1.6-2.3 billion and couldn't continue talking.

Wang Heng didn't want to increase the price, and Hao De didn't want to reduce it either. In the end, the two agreed to continue the discussion the next day. Hao De had already forgotten what he said before about not selling Sony chips.

Wang Heng didn't want to do it all at once. The difference was 700 million US dollars and several billions in RMB. After Hengda Group Company retained the working capital, his funds for island construction were a little tight, so he saved what he could, and he couldn't negotiate the second one at one time.

Let’s talk about it again, Sony chips won’t run away, and except for him who can come up with money during the financial crisis, others don’t have the strength to buy them even if they want to.

Huo De went back and held an impromptu meeting with Sony's internal senior management. Wang Heng had no informants and naturally did not know the contents of their meeting.

The next day, Hao De invited Wang Heng to visit Sony Corporation and conduct further interviews and discussions.

A vice president from Toshiba also came that day, and a global vice president from IBM was also on his way to Tokyo.

Wang Heng is not surprised at all. Sony chips were born from the union of these three companies.

There is no doubt that Sony's Cell processor has good R&D capabilities and is not bad in the global chip R&D rankings.

Although the people in Neon Country are disgusting, their scientific research level is still good. As for why Sony chips are losing money, it is because they like to monopolize. There is no problem with Sony's other electronic monopolies, but the chips are different.

If we want chip research and development to catch up with the world level, Sony chip processors cannot only supply Sony Electronics. Chip research and development relies on stacking up. How many chips can one Sony use? How many chips are needed in the world?

Just like HuaWei Chip competes with Qualcomm, HuaWei Chip only supplies itself, while Qualcomm supplies it to everyone. The size difference is more than ten times. As the saying goes, proficiency makes perfect, how can HuaWei catch up?

Due to Sony's ps2 monopoly, and the fact that "Final Fantasy" was at its peak at the time, PS2 monopolized the entire series of the game, and just in time to catch up with the popularity of DVDs, the price of PS2 was very high for a game console, but it was cheaper than DVDs.

The player is low.

Therefore, Sony's chip processors could barely survive and develop. After the PS3 overturned, a series of problems broke out, almost causing Sony to go bankrupt.

Due to the overturn of the PS3, the shortcomings of Sony's hardware were quickly revealed, and of course it was abandoned by the market.

Another big reason is that in the PS3 era, the way everyone makes games has changed a lot. Developers have begun to buy mature game engines to develop games, and cross-platform game engines are difficult to be compatible with PS3 in terms of performance.

A game console with a weird vector processor architecture.

This led to a result. Sony was dumbfounded. Suddenly it discovered that the performance of PS3 had improved, but game developers had ran away.

Just like Apple and Samsung mobile phones, both mobile phones have good functions and performance, but domestic applications do not develop their APPs.

As a result, no matter how good the mobile phone is, he can only make calls and send messages, and it is not even as good as Rokia and Motorola. Naturally, these two brands of mobile phones cannot survive in domestic sales.

This is actually the same as Sony PS3. Sony PS3 is a game console with good functions, but there are no games on it.

So why buy this thing?

Hardware and software are complementary to each other. Without software, no matter how good the hardware is, it is useless. Without hardware and software, there is no way to apply it, so both are indispensable.

Sony's PS3 cannot be sold, which naturally leads to the semi-stop production of Sony's chip processors. Sony's chip production is stopped, which naturally makes it impossible to continue research and development.

If Sony chips are supplied to all peers like Qualcomm and Lianfa, Sony chips will not have to stop production after the PS3 has problems, and Sony chips can continue to develop without stopping production.

The fiasco of Sony's chips has given Wang Heng experience, so he plans to do it as long as Qualcomm and Continuous Hair don't get in his way.

We continue to source chips for Honor smartphones from both of them. As for the acquired Sony chips, we can also provide chips for new domestic smartphones such as Xiaomi, OPPO, vivo, etc.

Sony's chip technology is not bad at all. When it switches to smartphone chips and processors, Wang Heng believes they will use it. After all, there are only a few good chips on the market.

The production capacity of Lianfa and Qualcomm has been contracted by Wang Heng to produce nearly 500 million units in the past two years. Anyway, Honor does not make money from hardware. It does not matter if the inventory is lost now and the production capacity will be occupied first.

So Xiaomi, OPPO, vivo... and other new mobile phone manufacturers want to produce mobile phones, they have to buy Sony chips...

…

While Wang Heng was negotiating with Sony, he sent people to Jing County to acquire land. On the seventh day, Li Wei acquired 30 million square meters of land.

Only then did Sony’s board of directors lower the price to $2.1 billion.

This price is actually acceptable to Wang Heng, but he still wants to get it cheaper. Anyway, Sony chips have been discontinued, so they will definitely be sold. It is better to be cheaper, not to mention that this is still in billions, and it is still in US dollars.

Anyway, he doesn't have any major issues. Since Hengda Group got on the right track, the subsidiaries basically don't have to worry about him. He will only come forward when it comes to particularly important matters.

After his rebirth, he worked hard for two years and now he has climbed to the position of the richest man in the world. It is time to relax and relax.

That's it. With this mentality, Wang Heng talked with Sony without any pressure.

The other party bargained. During the last negotiation, the two parties negotiated for about three and a half hours, and finally reached a consensus on the merger price.

$500 million!

At the same time, Sony has to put forward an additional condition for accepting this price, that is, Cell chips must continue to supply PS3 game consoles.

And it can only be supplied at market price. In order to maintain the semi-discontinued state of Sony chips and avoid completely suspending production and scrapping, Sony distributes Sony chips evenly to each Sony PS3 game console according to the research and development costs.

If after Wang Heng acquires Sony chips, Sony chips continue to be supplied according to the original contract, Sony will have to pay an extra US$150 for each PS3 game console sold.

In the past, it was Sony's industry anyway, and the meat rotted in the pot anyway, but now it's definitely not going to work.

Wang Heng readily agreed to this. In his eyes, making chips is not worth a lot of money. He bought this thing because he was afraid that Qualcomm and Lianfa would get stuck in his neck.

Meimeiguo will definitely do this kind of thing. In his previous life, wasn't it just because he was stuck? So this is called preparing for a rainy day. It doesn't matter whether he can make money or not. He doesn't like others to mess with him.

After both parties completed the initial signing, Wang Heng set off back to China.

Although the contract has been signed, it will take about a month to complete the hand purchase at the fastest, or even two to three months. The separation and relocation of the industry will take time...

After acquiring Sony chips, Wang Heng began to pay attention to the research and development of hardware technology. In addition to taking precautions to deal with possible bottlenecks in the future, the acquisition of Sony chips also

There is also the desire to capture the other party's talents for your own use, not only to strengthen yourself, but also to kill potential competitors in the cradle.

Now that Neon Enterprises have given up on smartphones and mobile Internet, don’t think about picking them up again when they want to.

Even if neon Chinese companies like Sony want to get involved in the smartphone industry, they will only be reduced to niche mobile phones and have no say in this industry at all.

On the third day after Wang Heng returned to China, an important meeting of Hengda Group was held again.

Important executives from all subsidiaries of Hengda Group attended this meeting. In addition, Shan Menghan also officially became the CEO of Meituan. The original CEO was demoted to the company manager.

After a series of hardships, Shan Menghan is now fully qualified for the position of CEO of Meituan. Of course, Wang Heng will also be troubled when encountering some troubles.

For Shan Menghan, Meituan is Wang Heng’s company anyway, so if you have any problems, who should you go to?

"This time the group acquires Sony's Cell business and will set up production lines and R&D centers in China and Neon Country respectively."

"There are too few domestic engineers, and excellent engineers are even scarcer. We cannot blindly turn it into poaching. We must grasp it with both hands and be strong with both hands. Therefore, we also need to find talented young engineers from within to train them."

"So I decided to start preparations this year. The Honor Mobile R&D Department will continue to select outstanding young engineers from within the company every year, especially those with pioneering spirit, to go to the Neon Sony Chip R&D Center and Neon Country Outstanding

Engineers learned that the research and development of Honor mobile phones should not be done behind closed doors, but should be combined with reality.

In addition, software companies also need to organize people to study abroad, go to Google, Amazon and other companies. These company groups own 9% of the equity and are considered to be major shareholders, so they will not refuse the students sent by Hengda Group.

All subsidiaries must pay attention to this matter and must pay close attention."

Lucian will soon come to power in the beautiful country. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Heng's first thought is to improve the capabilities of the group company's employees.

Hengda Group has reached its current scale, and some of the things in his memory are almost used up. From now on, Hengda Group will mainly rely on research and development.

So now there is an opportunity, whether it is cheating or stealing, to get the technology up first,

Of course, Wang Heng is not stupid. It is not so easy for the company to fund and send a large number of employees to study abroad for further study.

Instead, you need to sign a contract and a non-competition agreement. After completing your studies, you cannot immediately leave your job to work alone or change jobs. You must stay in the company and work for at least eight years. After the lock-in period expires, the employee can decide whether to stay or leave.

Otherwise, if the company spends a huge amount of time, manpower, material resources, and financial resources to carefully cultivate a talent, but after completing the course, he does not contribute any value to the company, and directly leaves the company to go it alone or change jobs, or even compete with the parent company in turn.

That's not shooting yourself in the foot.

Although Hengda Group's salary is good, compared with the world's top technology companies, the level is still far behind.

Since the company is in a period of rapid growth, and the company itself is a huge stage for displaying one's talents, the probability of job-hopping or going it alone is very small. Of course, Hengda Group's remuneration is still higher than that of other companies in the country compared with the same period last year, so few people are changing jobs.

No matter whether someone changes jobs or not, none of the signed agreements can be omitted. This is a reflection of responsibility for both parties. Having a layer of contractual relationship protection can eliminate potential trust crises between each other.

Hengda Group has reached its current scale, and talent issues have become the company's top priority. Of course, this does not refer to the issue of CEOs of subsidiaries.

It is the grassroots level, engineers, R&D personnel, and grassroots management. These people are more important than the top management. The top management is equivalent to administrative management. There is no shortage of this aspect in the country, but there are a lot of talents.

What is lacking is the grassroots level, those doing basic research and development. In this regard, the domestic talent base is small, and there are even fewer outstanding talents. In addition, the salary is very different compared to foreign countries. A large number of outstanding talents have gone abroad, resulting in an even scarcity of industry talents.

,

Nowadays, the total number of employees of Hengda Group has exceeded 100,000, and the number of senior engineers and programmers has exceeded 20,000, but it is far from enough.

Not to mention the glory mobile phone, in addition to Xixi, Meituan, Pinpay, Le Youku, etc., they need a R&D team of at least 100,000 people to continue to dominate the domestic market.

Wang Heng would not be like Huicong.com, who rushed early and then boasted that he had succeeded, ignoring Mayun, and was slapped in the face.

Foreign talents must find ways to hire them with high salaries for their own use. At the same time, they must actively cultivate talents internally, send them out for further study, and then return to the company after they have completed their studies.

The internal trainee formulated the issue of the company sponsoring employees to study abroad, and Wang Heng made a very decisive decision.

This was a win-win situation, and it didn’t take too long. A week later, the matter was made public within Hengda Group.

The group company has decided to invest a total of US$100 million in budgetary expenditures for each subsidiary next year to launch an internal talent training plan and fund its employees to study abroad.

The scale of budget expenditures is determined based on the development needs and actual conditions of each subsidiary, but not surprisingly, it will be increased year by year as each subsidiary grows and develops.

After the announcement was posted, it immediately aroused a huge response from the employee group, especially some young scientific researchers. Being able to get a second opportunity for further study is undoubtedly a personal sublimation. The most important thing is the company's funding.

When the employees of Yanxuan Group saw the news broke by Hengda, they also began to discuss it. It is obviously impossible not to be envious. Hengda Group is also the largest shareholder of Yanxuan, and even the controlling shareholder.

If you really want to count, it can be regarded as a subsidiary of Hengda Group. Since Mayun does not want to hold the curse on his head and occupy the management rights of this company, although Hengda Group is the largest shareholder of Yanxuan, it is not considered Yanxuan.

parent company,

There is no superior-subordinate relationship between Yanxuan and Hengda Group. Of course, as the benefits of Hengda Group get better and better, Ma Yun becomes more and more embarrassed.

It is also a shopping platform. Pinxixi can have high benefits without making any money, but Yanxuan cannot.

Mayun gritted his teeth and followed Pin Xixi to build the data center and the headquarters building, but the money was spent on something, and it was a one-time investment, and he did not dare to follow the high welfare.

If Yanxuan is still unable to go public after spending the billions of dollars raised by B2B from the stock market, Yanxuan’s employees will probably kick him out and happily welcome Wang Heng to take over.

This is absolutely not allowed for Mayun. In fact, Wang Heng has never thought about including Mayun.

The domestic Internet troika, Mayun, Bonima, and Wang Heng, cannot be regarded as an absolute monopoly.

If we really want to recruit Mayun and Bonima again, the good days of Hengda Group may be over.

The employees of various subsidiaries of Hengda Group are basically the elites in the industry, and the more outstanding people are, the more they understand that if they fall behind, they will be eliminated by the times.

Whether it is Honor, Pinxixi, LeYouku, Meituan, etc., there are internal anonymous employee community forums. Anonymity encourages employees to express their voices in editorial forums to promote the improvement and perfection of all aspects of the company.

If it is a real name, everyone is afraid of offending the leader, so they dare not tell the truth. This is another important measure taken by Shan Menghan after reporting the former president of Meituan. After Sun Yutong's rebellion, he became even more serious.

Of course, the Yanxuan Group also followed this measure, and Ma Yun also guarded against Wang Heng stealing the house.

After the news about Hengda Group reached Yanxuan, the community forums on Yanxuan also began to discuss it. They petitioned Mayun one after another, hoping that Yanxuan could also introduce such a welfare system.

In recent years, studying abroad has been the dream of most people. Sponsoring studies like this without having to spend any money is even more mind-boggling.

The day after Hengda Group announced the news, Mayun had no choice but to make an announcement at Yanxuan Group. Starting next year, Yanxuan Group will spend 200 million RMB on internal talent training plans to fund its affiliated companies.

Employees go abroad for further studies.

Similar to Hengda Group, all employees of the company can submit written applications. They need to go through double cross-examination by the relevant departments of the company and all have passed the review before they can obtain the quota qualifications. At the same time, there are hard indicators for applicants. In principle

You must have at least three years of service experience.

In total, it will be exactly three years until next year that the Strictly Selected Mall has been around, while Taobao Mall and B2B have been around for 7-8 years. Most of the old employees have already had enough experience.

Hengda Group took the lead, and Yanxuan Group followed. Soon the news spread from within the two companies to the outside world, attracting huge attention in the industry and society.

As the other two major domestic Internet groups, Tencent and Baidu Group are a bit on the fire at this time.

Bonima was even more annoyed. Whether to follow or not was a question. If Hengda did something, would Tengxin follow?

Before Wang Heng acquired Tencent shares, he thought Hengda was going to acquire Tencent. He contacted a bunch of investors and originally planned to have a fight with Wang Heng, but Wang Heng stopped after receiving 20% ​​of the equity, which made him worry in vain.
