Chapter 118 An old man in a family is like a treasure
“Academician Ni, please come first!”
Wang Dongsheng, who came to Hanxi with Gao Peng, got off the plane and saw Dongxin Semiconductor After picking up their car, he said to Ni Guangnan.
Wang Dongsheng came with Ni Guangnan on this plane. They were both in Yanjing. He also heard a lot about the things that happened within Lenovo. The media had long reported this thing that originally belonged to Lenovo. , there is a lot of speculation about who is right and who is wrong, and there are all kinds of true and false rumors, which makes it difficult to distinguish.
However, Wang Dongsheng, who admires technology and has always advocated independent research and development, or most people in China who still insist on developing their own technology at this moment, are implicitly supporting Ni Guangnan.
However, through the situation of BOE, which is currently OEMing for Panasonic, Wang Dongsheng also knows that based on Lenovo's current situation, facing the impact of foreign computer brands such as IBM, Dell, and Compaq this year, Lenovo has sold less than 3,000 computers. The competition in Hanka is also fierce. Lenovo is going through a survival and bankruptcy crisis. How can it have money to do any research and development at this time?
In addition to this fundamental reason, there is another reason that no one will say, and that is that by spending money on research and development, Lenovo will hand over less profit to its superior units, shareholder dividends, and investor income. .
This situation is a test of human nature. Everyone knows that if you endure hardship now, your children and grandchildren may enjoy happiness, but there are few people who can really do it, especially if they use the money that belongs to them now, it will not be cheap in the future. Knowing that there are descendants who have nothing to do with them, there are probably even fewer people who are willing to do it.
Ni Guangnan’s situation at Lenovo is actually doomed. Wang Dongsheng feels that the outcome of this matter will soon be decided, but the result may end with Ni Guangnan quitting Lenovo.
This is not a secret in the technology circle. Anyone who knows a little bit knows that whether the people inside Lenovo support Boss Liu who gives them money and equity, or Ni Guangnan who supports spending their money, the answer is Obviously, as soon as the management meeting votes, Ni Guangnan will leave Lenovo.
The only difference is whether Ni Guangnan leaves on his own to be decent, or whether someone "helps" him to be decent, but the latter may make Ni Guangnan a tragic figure!
"Mr. Li is really generous!"
Wang Dongsheng and Zhang Ao said to Zhang Ao after getting into the next car.
After Nippon Toshiba, Sharp, Sanyo and other companies announced price increases for parts supplied to Dongling Hi-tech, Tanglin Hi-tech launched attacks in all directions. Although the media has not yet reported it, there are already rumors in the industry. Got the news.
Dongli Hi-tech invested in a battery company in Pengcheng, and then approached BOE in Yanjing to jointly establish a screen panel company. Now it has invited Ni Guangnan to come over, obviously to do things on the chip.
All of these are definitely a big deal. As a person in the technology industry, seeing that Dongling Hi-Tech has not surrendered, but is really trying to fight against the giant Japanese companies on its own. Even an outsider like Wang Dongsheng, to be honest Everyone was a little excited.
If he knew that in the past few days, Li Dongling had poached the lithography machine R&D team of Research Institute 45 to Dongxin Semiconductor, he didn't know what he would think.
“You’ll know Mr. Li’s character once you’ve seen it!” Gao Peng shook his head and said, “Mr. Li is not even afraid of Microsoft. He dares to go to America to file a lawsuit with Microsoft, let alone those companies. The devil company, they are really not a thing. If they fall out, they will fall out. What do you think of Dongling High-tech? If you retreat, you will be ridden on your head. Those devils are not a thing!"
mentioned! Gao Peng was also furious with several Japanese companies, including Toshiba and Sanyo. He felt that they were really bullying others and treated Dongling Hi-Tech as if they were cutting leeks.
Gao Peng and other senior executives of Tanglin Hi-Tech also understand that if they do not respond this time, then Toshiba companies will really ride on the neck of Tanglin Hi-Tech. What can be tolerated by scholars?
Looking at the indignant Gao Peng, Wang Dongsheng was silent for a while. He had never seen Gao Peng like this in a long time. In the domestic technology industry, someone dared to resist the challenge of foreign companies.
Even including BOE, in the face of Panasonic and other companies, they have to make concessions step by step. Even if the bottom line has been exceeded, they still give in. There is no other way. Who makes BOE really need Panasonic's technology? You have to work for others to survive. If you are pinched by others and have to rely on others to feed you, how can you challenge them?
Looking out the window, Wang Dongsheng hopes that this trip to Hanxi will bring rewards to BOE, so that one day he can straighten his back and challenge the screen manufacturers such as Sharp and Panasonic head-on. !
“Academician Ni!”
“Director Wang, welcome to Hanxi!”
After Li Dongling shook hands with Ni Guangnan and Wang Dongsheng, he said to them that Ni Guangnan was thin and thin, with a look of vicissitudes and fatigue on his face. In addition, he had already reached the age of knowing his fate, and he obviously didn't look good at the moment.
"Academician Ni is tired from traveling and traveling, do you want to take a rest first?!" Li Dongling said to Ni Guangnan.
“No need!” Ni Guangnan is a straight-tempered person and doesn’t have so many twists and turns. In addition, with his current status and identity, he doesn’t need that set of tricks. To be honest, he deserves the honors and medals. , they have all been taken, and fame and fortune are of no use to her. There is only one thing he thinks about most now, but his long-cherished wish to develop a self-developed chip has come to an end!
He said directly to Li Dongling, "I came here this time to do business. Once the business is done, whatever you say will do!"
Seeing this, Wang Dongsheng said very tactfully, "Mr. Li will talk to Academician Ni first. Please, Manager Gao, please show me the style of Dongxin Semiconductor!"
After Wang Dongsheng left, Ni Guangnan asked Li Dongling directly Said, "Donngling Hi-Tech really wants to develop chips?!"
"Academician Ni has already seen it. This is the headquarters of Dongling Semiconductor. If you are interested, Academician Ni can go upstairs and see Mr. Zhou Shi The engineer is leading the team to develop the lithography machine project!”
These words really surprised Ni Guangnan. He did not expect that Dongxin Semiconductor would be so big, not only touching chips, but also lithography machines. There is involvement.
After calming down and taking a sip of water, Ni Guangnan said, "You must have heard about what I am doing at Lenovo. I can resign and leave Lenovo, but if I join Dongxin, all I have to do is Independently develop chips, this is my only request! ”
"It's natural. Academician Ni is invited to come here this time to lead the chip team of Dongxin Semiconductor. Like Chief Engineer Zhou Shi, he will become the chief engineer of Dongxin Semiconductor!"
Li Dongling said, If Ni Guangnan joins Dongxin Semiconductor, he and Zhou Shi will each lead a research and development team. Chips and lithography machines will become the two legs of Dongxin Semiconductor. Only with these two legs can Dongxin Semiconductor be qualified to compete with Nikon. , Samsung, Intel and other companies compete.
“Where are the R&D funds?!” Ni Guangnan asked the question he was most concerned about. It is not uncommon in the technology industry to be fooled but not given money for R&D. Some companies even use the banner of technology giants. Cheating and cheating often happen, and Ni Guangnan doesn't want to fall for it himself. His reputation and age can only be squandered a few times.
Li Dongling exhaled, "Dongli Hi-tech, the parent company of Dongxin Semiconductor, will invest a start-up capital in the early stage. In the later stage, Dongxin Semiconductor's R&D funds will be obtained through cooperative projects!"
As soon as these words came out, Ni Guangnan's expression suddenly changed. This was not the answer he wanted. What he wanted was the kind of product that would have enough R&D funds to allow him to develop unrestricted products.
"If Dongxin Semiconductor needs to survive, it can't rely solely on Dongling Hi-Tech's relief, otherwise it will never stand up!"
Li Dongling said calmly to Ni Guangnan, "You also know that I heard that Dongling Hi-Tech The current situation requires Dongxin Semiconductor to develop its own phone chip motherboard for Donglin Hi-Tech. Then, Academician Ni, you can develop computer chips or other chips. It is up to you to decide in the future!
In the future, Dongxin! The chip department of semiconductors should be divided into two product lines, one is to develop computer chips according to your wishes, Academician Ni, and the other is to develop chips for Dongling Hi-tech’s new products!”
Li Dongling needs Ni Guangnan, Develop digital cordless phone chips for Donglin Hi-tech. In the future, the money earned from developing chips for mini radios, PHS, VCD, DVD, MP3 and other products will be used to support Dongxin Semiconductor. Otherwise, Donglin Hi-tech alone will have to support this company. It is really difficult to swallow the gold beast.
The expression on Ni Guangnan's face changes. He wants that kind of pure academic R&D atmosphere, but neither Lenovo nor Dongxin Semiconductor can provide that kind of idealist R&D environment. That is unrealistic!
The only difference is that Dongxin Semiconductor really wants to develop chips, and Lenovo, let’s not mention it. Should we continue to stay at Lenovo and engage in hopeless internal strife, or should we come to Dongxin Semiconductor to develop chips, even if we can’t do it wholeheartedly? Developing the computer chip he dreamed of, as well as developing other chips that he had previously looked down upon, were placed in front of him.
"Three years, if there is no result in research and development within three years, I will leave!"
After thinking for a moment, Ni Guangnan said to Li Dongling, and then said to Li Dongling, "As the first step after joining Dongxin Semiconductor, I will lead people to solve the chip problem of Shenzhou Phone by March next year at the latest!"
When he said this, Ni Guangnan came with strong confidence and confidence. , He has done his homework. How dare he take on the porcelain work without diamonds? Ni Guangnan is confident in developing the chip motherboard of the Shenzhou phone. Developing this thing is not more difficult than developing computer chips, right? !
Now there is less than half a year until March next year at most. Being able to solve the chip problem of the Shenzhou phone in half a year is absolutely amazing.
"As long as a chip can be developed for the Shenzhou phone, Tanglin Hi-Tech will immediately invest no less than 10 million yuan to allow Academician Ni to start the research and development of computer chips!"
To develop computer chips, 10 million yuan must be enough Not enough. From now on, if Ni Guangnan wants to continue to develop computer chips, he will have to continue to develop chips for other products for Dongling Hi-tech. The more Dongling Hi-tech makes, the more research and development expenses he can get.
