Reinventing the Millennium

After the unexpectedly hot listing, Yike flagship did not forget its old friends, which touched many people who have been paying attention to its developments recently.

Mr. Fang, it is still Mr. Fang!

Regardless of whether Yike faces uncontrollable risks, he can first kill the opponent who covets his interests!

Oh no, it seems that it is not the opponent who covets him, but he covets the opponent...

But it is almost the same. Business competition is not so clear. You covet me, I covet you, you kill me, I kill you, you die, and I feel bad when I am alive.

And just one day after Yike announced the acquisition of Sogou, an action that did not need to be announced but also demonstrated determination was revealed by industry insiders.

Yike bought the trademark of "Yisou".

Obviously, Yike will exert its brand influence more on the basis of Sogou, and can this brand influence be more generously recorded in the decline of the search market?

emmm...

When the acquisition and trademark news overlapped, whether it was other giants, the industry, or even employees within Duji... they all believed in Yike's brand value.

Especially, this brand value has just been crowned "world's first" recently.

From Duji's perspective, it is inevitable to sigh. Yike is really relentless, and Duji's competitive situation is getting worse.

However...

The offline paper media's reaction is not that fast, but the online reaction is already a welcome one.

"Okay, don't forget your original intention, come on Yike!"

"Yisou, hurry up and go online. I don't believe there is no other company in China that can do a good job in search!"

"Okay, okay, it's Yike that can put pressure on companies like Duji. Why aren't the computer pages disgusting? Why aren't the pages on mobile phones forced to jump? Keep going, don't stop, I'm almost downloading your app!"

"It is said that Yike's acquisition of Sogou was a bully."

"Who said that? I'm a Sogou employee. I see that everyone in the company is smiling?"

Yike's newly purchased trademark has not been used yet, but most people are already looking forward to its debut.

However, this matter is still dominated by YMS, which is a strong suggestion given by Qi He. He is also responsible for the launch date. From the current competitive situation, it is a correct decision for YMS to compete with Duji.

Reports of Yike facing risks have not appeared on a large scale in China, nor have they been verified by authoritative media. Except for competitors seeking some extra hope, domestic media generally do not care much about this. On the contrary, Washington and New York have confirmed the authenticity of certain news, and Yike's newly-worn crown will never be so solid.

On November 25, Fang Zhuo was waiting for a low-key visit from an old friend in the president's office of Yike 23. However, before the person arrived, the new head of Qualcomm called him for the first time after he got the position of CEO.

Chen Fuyang expelled Jacob with a slight advantage at Qualcomm's interim shareholders' meeting. Although this voting result proved everyone's dissatisfaction with Jacob, it also proved that his own foundation was still weak.

As the former CEO of Avago, Chen Fuyang has been dealing with Qualcomm's internal affairs in recent days, using the "new future" and "only punishing the chief culprit" methods to stabilize the company's balance.

To some extent, he stabilized.

However, there were also external forces that he did not want to see.

Jacob left the position of CEO, that's for sure, but Chen Fuyang actually admired COO Morenkov very much, and tried his best to invite him to stay at Qualcomm and shine, hoping that the two of them could work together.

Morenkov was quite hesitant at first, but he made up his mind to leave when he found Chen Fuyang again.

Chen Fuyang was puzzled and still tried to keep him.

Morenkov was very determined.

Chen Fuyang asked him about his future plans, and then got an answer that shocked him.

——Yi Ke's WLS has already invited me.

Sent an invitation...then, did you agree...

Chen Fuyang has already got the answer to this question from Morenkov's eyes, which made him feel even more uncomfortable.

Regarding Yi Ke WLS, it is actually the main force that Yi Ke uses to compete with Qualcomm in baseband, and it was previously used to cooperate with Intel to acquire Broadcom.

In addition, because it was unclear whether he could succeed at the interim shareholders' meeting, Chen Fuyang received a hint from Mr. Fang that if he failed at Qualcomm, Yike WLS would be a good place.

Chen Fuyang himself also included it in his future direction planning, thinking it was a good springboard.

Now, he has taken the position at Qualcomm, and Yike WLS has also poached Qualcomm's important COO...

Chen Fuyang sat in the office for a long time, reviewing the inside and outside of this matter with the latest news. Although he became the CEO of the new Qualcomm, Intel has acquired Broadcom, Yike WLS will continue to be competitive in baseband, and China's antitrust investigation and the US patent lawsuit have not yet ended...

He seemed to have a new beginning, but this beginning did not seem so new.

At the moment when he called Mr. Fang, he had only one feeling in his heart, Mr. Fang was really an old sow with an X-mask - one set after another, successfully put the new Qualcomm in it.

"Mr. Fang, congratulations to Yike for coming up with such an impeccable product this time! I am convinced, I am convinced!" Chen Fuyang congratulated enthusiastically.

"Mr. Chen, you're too polite. To be honest, the success of Mars 8.8 this time is just a coincidence. Qualcomm's Snapdragon 810 performed poorly, and Apple's A8 just switched its foundry." Fang Zhuo said cheerfully.

Chen Fuyang said sincerely: "Mr. Fang, Mars 8.8 is the hardest work. If Apple comes up with such a chip, I will not be convinced, but Yike and Ice Core itself are almost integrated. Hey, Qualcomm's Snapdragon This time I really stumbled."

Fang Zhuo felt the difference between the new head of Qualcomm and the old head.

If this was Jacob, he would be very sad, but if it were Chen Fuyang, he would just comment like this lightly, as if Xiaolong was not his cub at all.

"One war a year is nothing more than Yike taking the first step. The relationship between Yike and Bingxin has pros and cons." Fang Zhuo was not arrogant, and his family knew their own affairs.

Chen Fuyang secretly admired him and pondered for a moment. He did not mention China's antitrust investigation into Qualcomm, but instead talked about the latest reaction from the U.S. semiconductor industry. He said, "Mr. Fang, I am telling you the truth in this phone call. I also want to talk to you. I just received a call from Washington last night, and they invited me to discuss improving industrial competitiveness. This..."

Mr. Fang didn't say anything. He continued, "I did hear some rumors recently. Yike's product shocked many departments in Washington."

Fang Zhuo laughed when he heard this.

Chen Fuyang prepared a lot of rhetoric and considered Mr. Fang's reaction, but he never thought that Mr. Fang would always "haha" like this. No, what happens after the haha? Why don't you speak?

He was startled and said in a friendly manner: "Mr. Fang, although our two companies have competition, healthy competition is always good. When I go to Washington, I also plan to talk about Qualcomm's position, like Yike, like Qualcomm, etc." The company does business globally, so it’s better not to engage in local protection.”

Fang Zhuo understood Chen Fuyang's euphemistic reminder and finally agreed: "Yes, the market is there, and everyone can compete openly."

Chen Fuyang thought about the COO Mollenkopf who had just been poached, and he had a more upright appreciation of the other party.

However, his own position is a little less upright, so he can accept this kind of poaching. In addition, when he traveled to the United States with Kong Yu, he also met friends from the MIGA fund department.

Although there are some rumors of suppression this time, it is still unclear what will happen in the end.

After much consideration, Chen Fuyang decided that his arrival in Washington was just a matter of course. In the past, his status as Avago's CEO did not bring much weight. What he really needed to do now was to resolve the conflicts faced by Qualcomm one by one.

For example, let China’s anti-monopoly be implemented.

For example, reconciliation with Yike and Apple.

These two matters are closely related to Mr. Fang, so the phone call and statement can be regarded as a kind of mediation.

Fang Zhuo naturally knew what the new head of Qualcomm wanted. He talked a little more about competition in the global market and said informally: "I heard that China's investigation is almost over. Anyway, now that the investigation has been carried out, Qualcomm's original A high ratio is undesirable.”

Chen Fuyang's heart condensed, knowing that he might be able to see the final result in the near future, and it would most likely be the lesser of the two processing documents he saw at the beginning.

A high ratio is undesirable, and a low ratio is okay, but it is still better than being forcibly revoked.

Not that good, but not that bad either.

Just like the tacit agreement between himself and Mr. Fang to seize power, he did get the CEO of Qualcomm, but the new Qualcomm also faces more problems and competition, not so good, not so bad...

"Mr. Fang, aside from Qualcomm's position, I am a fan of Yike products. Hey, I am in this position now. In fact, I really hope to see that Selfy can also use Snapdragon chips." Chen Fuyang continued. Come to something.

Due to the dispute between the two companies, the Selfy series of products has switched to Yike's own chips.

Chen Fuyang feels it is a pity, and he believes that his main goal in taking office is to ease disputes and expand the number of users again.

Fang Zhuo did not refuse outright. After thinking for a while, he said: "We will see the situation in the future. I have always respected Qualcomm's achievements."

"I also admire Yike's development. Mr. Fang, Qualcomm can cooperate with Yike on a new framework in patent licensing. The cake in the global market is still growing." Chen Fuyang followed the words and said.

"The lawsuit between Yike and Apple has been merged into two cases. This matter... is actually not affected by Yike to a large extent." Fang Zhuo said half-truthfully, "If the U.S. Supreme Court had not transferred the case files , I think we can sit down and talk.”

According to the procedure, the two companies have submitted a "petition for certiorari", and if the Supreme Court considers that there are major legal issues involved, it will "issue a writ of certiorari" and agree to hear the case.

Both companies feel confident that they can proceed to a final hearing.

Chen Fuyang was silent for a while, and then said: "Okay, Mr. Fang, I will also talk to Cook. We can definitely have more relaxed negotiations."

"Well, I'm waiting for your news." Fang Zhuo and Cook have reached a certain consensus and believe that the other side will not go as Chen Fuyang wishes.

The phone call from the new head of Qualcomm is over. Regarding Yike’s competition in this area, the current discussion from the General Office is to strengthen the strength of WLS and reorganize its business with Morningstar Semiconductor to form a new and more comprehensive Competitive Fabless Company.

Fang Zhuo thought about this situation for a while, and soon received a call from his secretary. His old friend's car had arrived at the garage.

He picked up his cell phone and went to greet the leader who had taken good care of him in the past.

"Brother Zheng." Fang Zhuo shook hands vigorously with the leader who was now working in business as soon as they met.

Zheng Danrui smiled and shook the hand of the head of Yike, and followed him upstairs to the president's office.

The two talked and laughed all the way and made many memories.

Zheng Danrui came here informally, but he noticed the geopolitical factors that Yike faced, or in other words, the risks that ice cores faced.

After a cup of fragrant tea, Zheng Danrui said with a smile: "Mr. Fang, there is no need to be polite between us. I am here just to have a casual chat in private. No, um, anyway, we are just chatting freely."

Fang Zhuo nodded.

Zheng Danrui talked a little more about the influence of Yike's flagship mobile phone, and finally turned the question to the news from Washington, asking about the most serious situation: "If, we make a hypothesis now, the ice core faces a disruption over there. How long will it take to become competitive again?”

Fang Zhuo raised three fingers.

Zheng Danrui pondered for a moment and then said: "In three years, there is indeed labor pain, such as..."

Fang Zhuo corrected: "Three days."

Zheng Danrui was surprised and delighted. He stood up from his seat and asked in disbelief: "Really?"

"No, Brother Zheng, I'm just joking." Fang Zhuo laughed, "It's your 'competitiveness' that makes it difficult for me to say. The competitiveness of ice cores can fluctuate from three days to three years. Our 16nm itself is leading, and there are constraints in materials and equipment, but we can keep the production line running by preparing in advance.”

"The supply of ice cores has been cut off, but Yike can still produce products for a period of time. The problem now is that even if the ice cores are competitive, Yike may face a forced recession in the global market."

Having a competitive product and having a market for the product cannot be equated with each other in the event of force majeure.

Ice core's 16nm is already the world's first, so the next step in research and development will be limited, and the main issue will shift from the advancement of advanced processes to the consolidation of existing processes and production.

Zheng Danrui thought about what he had just said, "Let's chat." He pointed at the person opposite him angrily. He was quite letting go. But today's Fang Zhuo is no longer the Wu Xia Ameng he used to be. He also has his own problems. Deep relationships.

The most important thing is that Fang Zhuo does not do things with relationships as the core. He can continue to make progress by doing purely business things.

"Everyone is very concerned about Yike and Bingxin." Zheng Danrui said slowly, "The current situation is still unclear, but we must prepare for the worst and make more preparations."

Fang Zhuo nodded. He was mentally prepared to have his confession cut off tomorrow, but the actual mediation had been taking place on the other side of the ocean, and every day he could be more nourished was a day.

Zheng Danrui felt Mr. Fang's calmness and couldn't help but smile: "Mr. Fang, I see you are not afraid at all."

Fang Zhuo thought for two seconds and quoted a poem to answer: "The earth collapsed and the mountains destroyed the strong men to death, and then the stone stacks of the ladder to the sky were connected to each other, that's all."

The earth collapses and the mountains destroy the strong men to death, and then the stone stacks of the ladder to heaven are connected to each other.

Zheng Danrui recited it twice in his mind, sighed slightly, and said sincerely: "Okay, Mr. Fang, I will have an extra drink for this at noon, that's all, that's all!"
