Since 1979 I have been in the tide of the times

Chapter 630
When Wang Weidong came to the United States again in October, he first went to San Francisco and then to Silicon Valley.

The reason why he went to Silicon Valley is because Holley Optoelectronics on Taiwan Island has set up its R&D center here.

Wang Weidong went with Li Yueshi this time, Fan Wenfu from Holley Optoelectronics was already waiting for him in Silicon Valley.

Taiwanese companies went global much earlier than mainland companies, so Fan Wenfu is also more experienced. This time Xiangyang Electronics will build a factory in Utah. Wang Weidong hopes to get Fan Wenfu's help.

Fan Wenfu was very happy to see Wang Weidong's arrival. Although Silicon Valley is in depression now, software and Internet companies are mainly bankrupt.

"In recent years, people have gone crazy. Adding some com to dogs can increase the price dozens of times! After this time, everyone will be more rational. It is also a good opportunity to set up a research and development center here, and the rent is much cheaper than half a year ago. .” Fan Wenfu said.

He took out a box and handed it to Wang Weidong and said, "This is a gift I prepared for you. This mobile phone should not be sold in China."

Wang Weidong opened the box, which contained a straight cell phone.

"Weidong, there is a camera on it. It is the first mobile phone that can take pictures! The camera has 11 pixels, and the pictures are very clear!" Fan Wenfu said.

Wang Weidong turned to the back of the phone and found a camera.

This is a small notebook Sharp mobile phone.

"Weidong, this is the future research direction of our Huali Optoelectronics. Maybe every mobile phone will have a camera in the future! By then, our Huali Optoelectronics has a very bright prospect!" Fan Wenfu said excitedly.

"Now that the first camera phone has appeared, other mobile phone manufacturers will definitely follow." Wang Weidong said.

"This is not necessarily the case. Now all mobile phone manufacturers are focusing on Nokia. If there are new elements in Nokia mobile phones, everyone will immediately follow them. Sharp mobile phones are not enough." Fan Wenfu said.

"I'm about to build a factory in Utah, I hope you can give me some advice." Wang Weidong said.

"Now more and more people from mainland China are studying in the United States and staying in the United States, it is best not to hire them to manage enterprises, it is best to find professional managers from the United States." Fan Wenfu said.

"Since the 50s, people from Taiwan Island have asked people to stay in the United States. Now that they have decided to stay in the United States, they will feel uncomfortable working in companies run by Chinese people, and their work performance will not be as good as they are in American companies." Fan Wen husband explained.

Wang Weidong nodded.

Some Chinese work harder in foreign companies instead of dawdling.

Wang Weidong and Li Yueshi rushed to Salt Lake City. Under the introduction of Robert Jr., Wang Weidong signed a contract with a construction contractor, and they were responsible for building a factory on ten acres of land.

Wang Weidong felt that if it was in China, such a project would take at most half the time.

On the day the ground was broken, not only Mr. Robert Jr.'s old father, Robert Sr., but also the governor of Utah and a large number of politicians rushed to the scene. They all hoped to show their faces in front of the [-] residents of Park City, as if the city could employ [-] workers. It is their credit that the large factories can be built here.

"Wang, please invite my father to come over six months later when the equipment is installed and produced! Thank you so much!" Little Robert said.

Wang Weidong and Li Yueshi returned to Silicon Valley, and Wang Weidong wanted to see how Fan Wenfu recruited personnel and carried out research and development.

Li Yueshi is concerned about the rise and fall of the Dow Jones in the United States, especially the Nasdaq.

In half a year, Nasdaq has fallen from 2000 points to more than 50.00 points and has not stopped falling and stabilized. More than [-]% of Internet companies went bankrupt.

However, in 2000, when China's large portal websites were listed on Nasdaq, it goes without saying that the stock prices of these Chinese Internet companies all fell very badly, even falling below one dollar per share.

"Miss Li, I bought a lot of Nokia shares in the London stock market on Hong Kong Island. After you go back, you will sell them all for me and use them to buy NASDAQ China Internet stocks!" Wang Weidong said.

"Boss, judging by the current stock market situation, it should still fall." Li Yueshi said.

"It doesn't matter, just enter the market at this price!" Wang Weidong said.

The Chinese stock market has strict restrictions on foreign investment, but it is much easier in places like Hong Kong Island. You can buy stocks in major stock markets in the United States and Europe on Hong Kong Island without opening an account in the United States or Europe.

After Wang Weidong sold the sea fish of the fishing company to small countries and peninsula countries in Vladivostok, 40 million U.S. dollars was remitted to his bank account on Hong Kong Island every year, and the money would be bought immediately. Shares of Nokia on the London Stock Exchange.

Up to now, the cumulative purchase is nearly 500 million US dollars.

Nokia's stock has been rising over the years, and Nokia mobile phones have also risen to become the giants of mobile phones in the world.

The stocks bought ten years ago naturally rose a lot, but the stocks bought in the past two years naturally rose very little.

After the establishment of the R&D center, Fan Wenfu paid high salaries to recruit people from DuPont and other companies in order to develop resins for the production of lenses, and he recruited people from Texas Instruments and other companies to research the optoelectronic part.

Due to the bursting of the dot-com bubble, the economic situation in the United States is not good. Now is a good time to recruit people.

Wang Weidong flew from San Francisco to Shanghai Stock Exchange and then came to Beijing.

He wanted to go to the university construction site to watch the construction progress, but he didn't expect Song Yu and Ou Xiaoyang to follow him.

Song Yu returned to the capital after going abroad for a wedding and tourism for more than a month, and has been nesting here and there, and now he is so quiet that he wants to move.

"When I first got married, I forgot to tell you to use one hundred tons of holy water to wash your dirty body for more than ten years! How long has it been since you've just been married, and you're tired? Sure enough, I didn't misunderstand you. , you are indeed not a good person!" Wang Weidong asked.

Song Yu said with a smile: "After getting married, I found out that's the case. It made me have no desire for anything now!"

"You can go there, but you have to go and come back the same day!" Wang Weidong said.

Chinese people have been good at doing big projects since Dayu's flood control. Ancient books say that Dayu connected the Yellow River and the Changshui.Later, the construction of the Great Wall and the Grand Canal have already been practiced, as long as it is a time-consuming project that relies on manpower, it will be done quickly.

Wang Weidong, Song Yu, and Ou Xiaoyang came to the university construction site and saw four huge pits. There was only one basement under the main liberal arts teaching building, which was not deep.

"Experts from a big northern country designed a three-story underground laboratory. I thought a dozen meters deep would be enough, but I didn't expect it to be more than 30 meters deep!" Song Yu said.

"A few months ago, I went to Magadan, a small city in the Far East near Kamchatka. Many buildings there have underground fortifications tens of meters deep! They were afraid that the Americans would attack them, so they made preparations 40 years ago!" Wang Weidong said.
