Reinventing the Millennium

The news from Zhang Rujing made Fang Zhuo unable to recover for two days.

First of all, he was even more wary.

As far as he knows, the last settlement between SMIC and Taiji was US$175 million in compensation and a patent licensing agreement was signed. Moreover, SMIC’s subsequent 90nm technology was introduced from the Belgian Microelectronics Center and Texas Instruments.

However, this time the reporter tore up the settlement agreement and the litigation process moved forward very quickly.

Fang Zhuo had talked with Zhang Rujing after he learned that Taiwan Journalist had won the lawsuit last time. He believed that the outcome of such a lawsuit was likely to have a series of consequences, and he suspected that the referee was biased.

This time, if Taiji succeeds in achieving his goal, SMIC will undoubtedly fall into decline.

Zhang Rujing is to SMIC what Fang Zhuo is to Bingxin, or even more important.

It is difficult for Fang Zhuo not to connect the past, present, and future situations together, and then be wary of Taiwanese reporters and the actions of the United States.

From the current point of view, although Ice Core has mass production of 65nm and has major international customers such as Qualcomm and NVIDIA, the United States, which is struggling to deal with the subprime debt crisis and campaigning, has not shown much attention.

Fang Zhuo doesn't know whether the steady development of Ice Core can be maintained until the end of Xiao Ao, but there should be a lot of room for maneuver during this period. However, if there are mistakes in Ice Core, they must be happy to push things along.

Secondly, taking advantage of the fact that he is about to have money, Fang Zhuo plans to further increase investment in the domestic semiconductor industry. The first priority is to cultivate a team of engineers.

Bingxin has been attracting domestic and foreign talents, but the talents from friendly businessmen and foreign countries are not endless, and there are also many insurmountable obstacles. In the end, this aspect still has to rely on the plate of the entire industry in the mainland, and there must be someone who can always persist. training system.

In the past few years, Bingxin has connected with all universities in China that have semiconductor-related majors, and this effort can continue to increase.

Finally, if something goes wrong with SMIC, Bingxin will definitely receive more attention from its leaders. This is something that has been proven.

Fang Zhuo believes that once Mr. Zhang is really killed, he should use this shock to talk to him about industry issues, including but not limited to the Ice Core Wafer Manufacturing Service Alliance, to play a greater role.

The above should also immediately increase their attention to the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain.

Time waits for no one, seize the day.

On April 15, the business affairs of Yike Company diluted Fang Zhuo's slightly depressed mood.

The news about Zhang Rujing's phone call was still being discussed over there and had not yet come to fruition, so he digested it in his heart without discussing it with anyone.

On this day, LG officially announced that sales exceeded 1 million units.

This is the result it has achieved in the United States and South Korea.

Regardless of the reputation in the media and on the Internet, the LG touch screen machine equipped with Symbian system seems to have shown its attitude of adapting to the trend.

One and a half months, 1 million units.

LG did not adopt the pre-sale accumulation method like Mars, so this result is quite impressive.

With such news, Yike held a meeting. The first was to discuss LG, the second was to warm up the domestic market, and the third was to internally analyze and learn from Mars2, which will be released in June.

"LG only talked about sales volume, not the proportion of the two markets. It's like we also sold at the domestic home court at the beginning, so it must be that the domestic sales are more."

"However, this one million is indeed a bit unexpected. We have to observe LG's trend in the next month and see the entanglement between LG and Apple."

"Of course, also look at the patent lawsuit we launched against LG this month."

Fang Zhuo personally talked about his feelings about LG.

I have to say that the sales volume announced by LG made him feel that he had really underestimated well-known manufacturers in the past.

Therefore, in order to correct the perception, Yike will also initiate patent litigation and learn from the experience of Korean manufacturers. After all, LG and Samsung are both Korean factions. Samsung can engage in a century-old lawsuit with Apple for so long, and LG You have to have some talent anyway.

When the meeting began to talk about the progress of the domestic listing, the atmosphere became much more solemn.

After Liu Qiangdong took over the development of domestic mobile phone business, he devoted all his energy to actively promoting cooperation with operators.

Yike is a listed company with a rather complicated situation. Although its headquarters is in Shanghai, its current business focus is abroad.

Liu Qiangdong had come into contact with the capable team deployed by Yike as early as when he was working in E-commerce offline appliances. He knew that there were different factions within Yike. Some went abroad and came back to take up positions, some were always with Mr. Fang, and some were with Mr. Fang. There are those who work back and forth between Yike and Yigou, and there are even those who transfer from the medical department...

Among them, there are technical faction, market faction, personnel faction, European and American faction, local faction... Because Mr. Yu has built a marketing team, Mr. Su has been focusing on personnel for a long time, and the technical team has moved...

In short, Liu Qiangdong soon realized that the position he held was difficult in various senses.

Even with Mr. Fang's personal appointment, the intentional or unintentional alienation and difficulty in convincing the public in terms of qualifications are clearly reflected in his heart.

Then, Liu Qiangdong quickly understood the spirit of his boss, and decided not to care about one faction or another, not to care about human relationships, not to care about open and covert attacks, and just focus on business progress.

Also taking advantage of President Youfang's presence in the country, Liu Qiangdong proactively approached his boss twice with trivial matters and obtained the chicken feather token, so he was able to start work quite smoothly.

There is no other way. The airborne faction, which has no direct lineage, can only suppress various problems through development.

Today is a small node for Liu Qiangdong to report on his work, and it can also be regarded as a small performance display.

"These days, I call Mr. Kang from China Unicom on 136, contact Mr. Liu on 245, and send work emails to Manager Chang on Sundays."

"I don't know if Mr. Chang has read it, but China Unicom's reply to me is that they will try their best to promote domestic sales of Mars mobile phones in August and try their best to make Mars available to consumers during the Olympic Games."

Liu Qiangdong first talked about the achievements in time, and then talked about the difficulties faced by operators: "China Unicom has decided to merge with China Netcom, and it is confirmed that it will be WCDMA, but China Netcom is a listed company, and there must be a delisting process. No matter how China Unicom promotes it, it will take time."

"The issuance of 3G licenses may not be until the end of the year in China. What China Unicom means is that it can promote nominal trial models in several major cities in August, which is essentially normal sales with a certain intensity."

This is actually based on China Mobile's 3G trial and commercial plans to launch TD-SCDMA.

On the 1st of this month, China Mobile launched pre-commercial TD-SCDMA number allocation in eight cities including Beijing, Tianjin, Lin'an, Yangcheng, and Shanghai. It is said that each city has tens of thousands of quotas.

China Unicom is willing to promote cooperation with Yike Mobile in this way. Considering factors at all levels, this is not an easy task.

Liu Qiangdong did not claim credit, nor did he elaborate on the difficulties in the process. He just said in a thankful tone: "This is not easy. Fortunately, China Unicom agreed. Now we can make a sales plan for August."

Fang Zhuo, who had been listening silently, took the lead in applauding. Compared to others, he knew the complexity of 3G standards and licenses better. Moreover, it was not easy for him to push forward, but the people below him did not have to worry so much.

For a moment, the conference room was filled with warm applause.

No matter what happened to Liu Qiangdong who came by air, Yike Mobile finally got the accurate time to be launched in China when the second generation is about to be released.

In August this year, Zhonglian came out.
