Reboot 2003

Chapter 329 111: Comprador (two-in-one)

Chen Qin didn't react at all, but Ah Yue followed him and happened to hear the two people asking such questions, and seemed to be startled by Mr. Li.

Chen Qin scratched his head, cleared his throat, and replied humbly: "It's a relationship... of course it's quite close..."

He was a little worried, but Mr. Li didn't seem to have any doubts: "Then since you are his family, how did you help those people speak just now?"

He was obviously talking about Liu Chengzhi and the group of bosses, so Chen Qin said: "Mr. Li, I know what you mean, but since they are willing to pay, I think it is a good thing."

"But it's your family that wants to acquire the wafer factory." Old Li said, "I just heard that your talks with the Americans were not going well, but I couldn't help you much. They just happened to come to me, and I gave them Come up with an idea... But who knew they had contacted people from AMD in private? Do you think this is ridiculous?"

Chen Qin found it funny: "Mr. Li, don't worry. In fact, there has been some new progress on Meilican recently. AMD is willing to give us some compromises on the amount of investment. We hope that the equity of the wafer factory will be more dispersed in the future. This time they That’s why I came to Shanghai, I...I mean my family has been helping to mediate this matter recently, so it doesn’t matter if Boss Liu and the others join in."

Mr. Li was still a little angry: "But even so, these people are all looking for money! When they heard that OEM can make money, they swarmed to invest in it, and they were just thinking about those dirty tricks. How can this be done? Do you want to make semiconductors?"

Unknowingly, he seemed to be chatting with Chen Qin as usual, and he didn't seem to feel anything was wrong.

But there was no one else around at this moment. A Yue watched him curiously as he talked to Chen Qin, and Chen Qin patiently explained to him: "Mr. Li, no matter how shameless they are, they are our country's own enterprises. What can our country count on?" They are the only private companies that are qualified now, and it is a good thing that they are willing to participate this time. If not them, who can we turn to?"

"That being said, look at them like that..."

"Isn't this great? Being able to do a good job in comprador business is also a skill. This is called making the best use of everything."

"It's too ugly to be comprador and not comprador..." Mr. Li made him laugh, but at this point, he probably felt relieved, "That's okay, I was just making a suggestion, since you guys If you have an idea, then I won’t care.”

Mr. Li is easy to talk to, and he probably knows that this is a misunderstanding.

The incident happened suddenly, and Chen Qin had not told outsiders about AMD's new conditions.

And this matter has nothing to do with Mr. Li directly. He has just been thinking about this matter for a long time. He heard that Chen Qin was building a wafer factory, so he probably wanted to find other entrepreneurs to build some supporting facilities - since Chen Qin only wants to be an OEM, so if he can find someone to become a design company, wouldn't it be possible?

After all, he himself had already suffered a loss in this regard in the early years.

The chips are built but no one uses them, and the system but no software is a problem that the so-called 'localization' will face sooner or later. Therefore, when Chen Qin buys a manufacturing company here, he seems to want to encourage Liu Chengzhi to do so. 'Old friends' went to Melician to buy some semiconductor design companies at the bottom, but instead of buying manufacturing companies to compete with Chen Qin, they were able to build design companies, and even if the government took the bottom line, they could create a complete industrial chain.

It's a pity that people like Liu Chengzhi took a fancy to the foundry company in advance, and probably thought that the business that Galaxy Software was interested in would definitely be more profitable, so they didn't take Mr. Li's suggestion to heart. The conflict between the two parties today is also caused by this.

But it happened that AMD requested to balance the shares of the wafer fab, and they had a chance, so after the exchange, the old man and the young man quickly returned to the wine table.

Liu Chengzhi smiled and asked, "Have we discussed it yet?"

"It's okay, but this has to be agreed by Galaxy and others. The wafer factory you want to buy was originally purchased by Galaxy Software and they, but now you are interfering..."

After returning home, Mr. Li simply revealed his intentions. Liu Chengzhi quickly said that we are all business friends and we are close.

When he said this, everyone was a little distracted, probably thinking of the showdown when they entered the door just now. Now that they have come to Shanghai to discuss this investment deal, in fact, it has not yet been approved by Galaxy Software.

But just at this moment - "Mr. Chen!"

From a distance, a middle-aged man carrying a briefcase rushed up in a hurry, but it was Master Sun who finally arrived.

Others didn't know that the AMD partner had made an appointment with him in advance.

Everyone hurriedly invited him to take a seat. Sun Yazhang had just been stuck in traffic for an hour, and when he came here he was covered in sweat in the winter; he didn't care about anything else, after all, Chen Qin didn't tell him anything else.

I took out an investment term sheet with the official seal of San Diego on the spot. I didn’t know who to show it to, but I let everyone pass it around to read it.

Liu Chengzhi took it and took a look, and his brows widened: "Look, Lao Li, didn't we mention that we are all on our own? This is not what we are talking about, the galaxy also wants to discuss cooperation with us! "

After saying that, he pushed the letter of intent in front of Li Nanguang for him to read. Mr. Li had nothing else to say and said depressedly: "I didn't communicate with Xiao Chen in advance. It seems that he already has an idea. You can figure it out on your own. .”

As he spoke, he added an explanation: "I'm talking about Chen Aotian."

Mr. Li was speechless, and everyone's interest became more and more enthusiastic.

They began to seriously consider the prospects of the semiconductor market, discussing whether the technology of AMD's wafer fab was advanced, discussing the government's procurement share in the past two years, and imagining that related companies could integrate resources together, and they could also take part in the procurement in the future. Stark's last market...

At this point, the business seemed to be on the right track. The bosses were either smoking cigarettes and talking in pairs, or asking someone to express their opinions. During this period, Mr. Li didn't say anything else, and just sat in high spirits. Liu Chengzhi ate quietly beside him, but Chen Qin listened very carefully. When the bosses had any questions, he would get up and introduce them to them some superficial industry knowledge like a serious think tank.

As the banquet officially began, the discussion came to an end. Chen Qin had just finished talking about the prospects of Risc-V in the field of Internet of Things. He sat down and picked up a goblet of orange juice to moisten his throat. At this time, Ayue asked him: "Chen Qin , is that good?"       " Okay, you did a good job." Chen Qin praised him casually, "That's enough."

It was indeed enough. Today I asked her, the eldest lady, to introduce him on my behalf. At the wine table, I met a friend who was about to invest in semiconductors, and resolved a misunderstanding between Mr. Li and them.

Now that the negotiation is over, these big bosses are naturally very satisfied, and AMD wants to retain some of its influence on the fab, and their goal has been achieved.

As for Chen Qin himself, he wanted to find a group of domestic companies to invest in shares, and his goal was achieved, and not only that -

In the next position that no one cares about, Mr. Lei of Jinshan listened very carefully. Because of a series of changes in the past, in short, he and Sun Hongbo next to him are now Wang Chao and Ma Han of Mr. Liu of Lenovo. This time Liu The boss was determined to win the wafer fab and wanted to attract other people to invest. Naturally, he showed his bright cards from the very beginning. Both his Lenovo and Kingsoft would contribute money.

What a coincidence, semiconductors are too hard-core, and Chen Qin was worried about being fooled by nerds before.

If we invite Mr. Lei from Jinshan to do it together, he has a background in software, but since he has made mobile phones, it is not impossible to go upstream and make semiconductors.

Thinking of this, Chen Qin was also very satisfied. In short, everything was fine. Although there were still some problems, there were almost solutions to them.

There still seems to be something a little bit wrong... For example, Ah Yue asked him in a low voice: "Is it really okay for you to find these people to build a wafer fab together? I still think Mr. Li was right..."

"Of course it's no problem." Chen Qin also whispered to her, "Don't think that acquisitions are simple, there are many companies that can't even make acquisitions..."

It seemed that he was saying compliments, but Chen Qin lowered his voice subconsciously. After all, he was actually a little confused. Mr. Liu personally came to make semiconductors. Sure enough, the sun must be rising in the west.

But...this is not surprising in the first place.

Regarding Lenovo, there will be a lot of weird comments from netizens in the future. Most of the comments are focused on semiconductors - netizens think that he kicked Mr. Li out and stayed in the company without having to go online. It makes no sense. After all, if it is a pure-blood private enterprise, then of course there is no need to bear social responsibilities that have nothing to do with the enterprise. But then again, his method of putting semi-government-run enterprises into his own pocket was not honorable, and Lenovo was eating Financial orders are not originally companies that rely on consumers to make a living. It is normal business to provide supporting services for Party A and to be reasonable and reasonable.

Coupled with such black shit as the conscience of American imperialism and 5G voting, the "comprador capital" was stuck on his forehead. His family was so anxious that he sent an internal letter to the company to explain. Looking back at the company now, there is also a sense of "comprador capital" from top to bottom. It feels abstract...but it would be a bit unreasonable to criticize it harshly in this regard.

Semiconductor itself is a very global industry. In order for the company to maintain competitiveness, maintaining overseas supplier relationships is a reasonable business choice.

As for the reason why he is called "Comprador" on the Internet, the reason is that his family acquired IBM's notebook computer business two years ago, which later became his family's flagship product ThinkPad. Judging from the results, the acquisition itself should be regarded as a quite successful decision. Although the desktop computer business is switching to laptop computers, the technical threshold is not too high. He Lenovo is eating official meals, and it does not seem to be very efficient. aspects of the requirements.

But the company itself has a cultural gene, just like the Chrysanthemum Factory has some stinking problems, but it does have some special skills. The product strength of Lenovo is probably a bit weak. It spent hundreds of millions of advertising dollars to build a website that is good. It is the only company on the Simplified Chinese Internet that can allow domain names to expire.

Since you can't do it yourself, buying other people's product lines is always a way out. Even in the capital market, being able to make acquisitions is a skill. Next door, Hewlett-Packard was a big player a century ago. He just relied on acquisitions to destroy his own company. This shows that Lenovo has something to offer. And since he is so good at comprador, Chen Qin wants to buy it this time, so Lenovo is indeed the right choice. People.

With that said, Chen Qin glanced at the other people next to him who were not paying attention to their chat. He thought for a moment that he probably didn't say anything impolite just now. Then he finally came to his senses and defended himself: "What else do you mean by 'I'm looking for something else'?" Are these people working together to build a fab? I am just helping them talk and popularize basic knowledge, and the idea itself is not my own..."

Ah Yue didn't care about his covert explanation: "I know it's okay, and I also know the acquisition is right..."

She added: "But Mr. Li wants to invite these companies to be design companies, and didn't you also say that the industrial chain is also very important?"

Chen Qin was stunned for a moment, but he didn't understand what she meant: "Yes, what's wrong?"

"Mr. Li asked them to build the industrial chain. If they don't do it, won't they still have to rely on foreigners in the future?" After listening to it for so long, A Yue began to think about the problem seriously. "In addition to design, there is also packaging and testing, as well as packaging and testing. There are raw materials and equipment supplies, so many things..."

Only then did Chen Qin understand what she meant. Mr. Li kindly helped Lenovo and the others contact a design company, but in the end it was useless.

After all, Lenovo doesn't want it, so there's nothing we can do about it. After all, forceful melons aren't sweet.

Now Ayue is worried about this problem...

In fact, there is nothing wrong with worrying.

But... Chen Qin touched his chin and began to think deeply.

Everything is going well now, he is very satisfied, these new investors are very satisfied, and AMD is probably very satisfied as well.

Just...sure enough, something was missing, and he felt it himself.

Of course, the problem A Yue mentioned is not a problem in itself.

"You don't have to worry about this. You are still young and you don't understand this now."

Chen Qin said this, but then asked an irrelevant question: "Besides...if someone holds your neck and prevents you from breathing, what do you think you should do?"

　Happy New Year everyone~
