Riding the wind of rebirth

Passing through the noodle shop and entering the backyard, here is a different world. The early summer night is when the flowers are blooming. The fragrance of honeysuckle and Milanese diffuses in the small courtyard, making people feel refreshed.

There were too many mosquitoes in the patio. Everyone went into the living room and put food on the screen through the screen. Matsui couldn't help but nodded: "This place is really unique. The owner is an elegant person."

"Elegant people don't know, the expert is sure." Zhou Zhi said: "I heard that in the early years, I went to several overseas consulates to work as a chef, and I was considered a well-informed person. Now I have returned to open a small noodle shop. Please He makes a lot of money and still doesn’t go out.”

Matsui said with a smile: "Has Zhou Sang considered studying abroad?"

"How to say?"

"I just saw Zhou Sang still worrying about the final exam, and I suddenly had an idea." Matsui Zuo said: "I heard that Zhou Sang's GRE score is very high? Then the problem of studying abroad will be easy to solve."

"I am now tutoring master's students. As long as Zhou Sang submits his application, I can be Zhou Sang's nominal tutor, and he can study at Imperial University of my country next semester. I can also ask the school to provide Zhou Sang with a full scholarship."

"Even the research direction is very simple, software engineering management, which is Zhou Sang's strength. Work is learning, and learning is working. It is easy to get a master's degree and a doctorate, and he can still have a lot of time to do his own things. "

Zhou Zhi smiled and shook his head: "Mr. Matsui may have forgotten that I am from the Chinese Department. The best place to learn Chinese is probably China. I can only say thank you for your kindness."

"Our Teito University's Chinese language research is also very profound..." Just when Matsui said this, he suddenly remembered that this child's tutor seemed to be a master in China. It is difficult for ordinary people to get the kind of personal teaching, so he shook his head and shut up. .

Jin Chunyi quickly said: "Of course, if Zhou Sang doesn't intend to study abroad, we don't dare to force him. In fact, with Zhou Sang's contribution to Hanwen's large font library, he can go wherever he wants."

"Don't be too flattering, you two." Zhou Zhi smiled and raised his beer: "Come on, I am also taking advantage of you two, and I can steal this night's leisure. Let's talk while drinking."

The way of eating a cold glass of night beer may seem crude, but it is actually quite interesting. Zhou Zhi suspects that Tian Rui's chef has received guidance from Ming Yi, and the taste of the pork head meat and duck feet is very good.

Jin Chunyi and Matsui Zuo were a little uncomfortable at first, but when they entered the braised food, they suddenly felt that it was quite good to have a conversation in such an atmosphere.

"Zhou Sang," Matsui said as everyone drank and chatted: "The situation is very clear now. The production capacity of WinClover's foundry in Shanghai, Hong'an Digital Group, is obviously insufficient, and there has been a huge gap with the actual market demand. Digital playback Machines have formed a queuing effect in the European and American markets, and the Asia-Pacific market is even more difficult to satisfy."

"And the chip production capacity of Clover and Huahong is far greater than what Hong'an Digital can handle. There is already a lot of inventory of these two chips, right?"

Jin Chunyi said: "I don't know if Mr. Zhou knows about my country's Samsung. Samsung also produced a digital music player years ago, using..." "It uses the MPEG LAYER3 protocol, referred to as MP3." Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "I also know that this product is not taken seriously by Samsung at all. It is still in the product verification stage, and the most important thing is that WinClover is compatible with it, but it is not compatible with WinClover's other formats."

"Moreover, Samsung MP3 does not adopt the universal platform + decoding protocol model used by WinClover. It only designs peripherals for MP3, making it extremely difficult to upgrade." Zhou Zhi shook his head: "Samsung does not open the digital audio track transcoding function, which is the biggest drawback of this product. , with the intention of working with record companies to continue to manipulate consumers, this is a mistake in thinking."

"Now with WinClover, it is difficult for MP3 to occupy the market."

"It turns out that Mr. Zhou is also paying attention to foreign counterparts." Jin Chun smiled and said: "Indeed, as Mr. Zhou said, Samsung made some mistakes in how to put MP3 on the market, which caused the product design and concept to lag behind. But , but it does not mean that there are no advantages, and it does not mean that there is no possibility of cooperation with Mr. Zhou!"

Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "I have told you two before that in this matter, Clover Company is not the leader. Huahong is the leader in the production of the two chips. And I have also told you two that you have to seek cooperation with me." Cooperation in the company's command platform and audio chips must be approved by Huahong. Have you passed that hurdle?"

"But our intelligence analysis clearly shows that Clover is the licensor of intellectual property rights." Matsui believed that Zhou Zhi was trying to push back: "Huahong Group opened the licensing and invested R&D funds in advance and invested in Clover. We only developed two chips under the condition of an underwriting agreement. In other words, if Clover cooperates with us in the same way, it is still feasible. We can completely follow Huahong and become a co-manufacturer of the two chips. .”

"Hahahaha..." Zhou Zhi picked up the beer and clinked it with the two of them: "You two, I admit that theoretically speaking, what you said is correct. The information obtained by your company's business intelligence analysis agency is also completely That’s true.”

"Yes, but why don't you two think about it again? Why did I tell you two times before that our cooperation must not bypass Hua Hong?"

This was a very interesting statement. Zhou Zhi even took the duck wing bone in his hand and knocked it on the steel plate to express his emphasis: "What Huahong is carrying is the revitalization of the semiconductor industry. You two should think about Chairman Hu's You should be able to understand the previous identity.”

"You two can completely understand this. Rather than saying that Huahong is serving Clover, it is better to say that Clover is serving Huahong. Clover Company needs to obey Huahong's strategic system and cooperate with Huahong's strategy. Direction, do you two understand what I mean?"

"But... Huahong itself also controls Hong'an Digital. As the OEM of WinClover, Hong'an Digital will inevitably form a competitive relationship with our company." Jin Chunyi frowned: "So we have to convince Director Hu to agree. This is also It’s too difficult…”

"Things, ideas!" Zhou Zhi's tone even contained a hint of resentment: "On Chairman Hu's shoulders, he carries the task of revitalizing my country's semiconductor industry. This is his mission and pattern!"

"If we want Huahong to agree to cooperate, we can't focus on a small Hong'an Digital and two audio chips. We can jump to a higher level and structure to solve this problem!"

"It's just like the path that senior Konosuke led Panasonic in China!" Matsui finally understood Zhou Zhi's hint: "As long as we find other urgent needs in China's semiconductor industry, we can use it to exchange audio chips with Director Hu. compromise!"

"Oh, I finally understand!" Zhou Zhi picked up the beer and said, "Come on, let's go together!" (End of Chapter)
