Reborn: Billionaire in College

"Dad, why are you back?"

Yan family.

When Yan Yan heard the knock on the door, she opened it and saw her father Yan Liming standing at the door.

At this moment, Yan Liming looked exhausted.

Li Yuhua in the inner room also heard the noise and came out, asking curiously, "Why did you come back so suddenly without even saying hello in advance?"

Yan Liming, who looked exhausted, hastily changed into slippers and threw his briefcase on the sofa. He sat down and groaned comfortably. "Don't mention it. I was still investigating in the county below when I was caught by the Dongjiang people and had a long chat. After the chat, I don't know what kind of relationship they used to get our secretary to come to me and make a request. I was forced to take a leave."

Li Yuhua, who was applying a facial mask, was stunned when she heard this, while Yan Yan, who was standing next to her, smiled.

"Ah, you are also forced to take a leave of absence, so am I."

Yan Liming was speechless for a while.

"Are you also concerned about Xiao Chen's wafer factory incident?"

Li Yuhua nodded: "Yes, this morning a deputy director of the Municipal Party Committee Propaganda Department came to talk to me in person."

"Well, it really took a lot of effort and a lot of money."

Li Yuhua sighed. It's not a good thing for this future son-in-law to be too capable. "I talked to Xiao Chen on the phone this afternoon. He won't be back until the day after tomorrow. And how can we ask for help with this kind of thing? Will Xiao Chen think we are meddling too much?"

"Don't think so, it's certain. Dongjiang's actions will end up being very embarrassing." Yan Liming is now convinced.

Who is Chen Pingjiang? In name, he is his son-in-law, but in reality, he still has to act according to his son-in-law's mood.

It was this good son-in-law who helped himself up with one hand.

If it weren't for Chen Pingjiang, I might still be a senior disciplinary official in Wujiang District.

Yan Liming felt that Chen Pingjiang had already invested in many projects in Wujiang District and Dongjiang City.

Each project was very successful, boosting not only Wujiang District but also the entire Dongjiang City in terms of tax revenue, economic development, and talent gathering. Many upstream and downstream companies also rushed over.

In just a few years, the area where Renren was located, which was originally a barren land, has now become full of high-rise buildings with complete supporting facilities, and even the housing prices have been rising rapidly.

Renren alone pays more than 10 billion in taxes every year.

And this number is still expanding with the rapid development of Renren.

In this regard, we have done our utmost. There is really no reason for Dongjiang to allow others to invest and set up factories here.

The location of an enterprise should consider many factors. Dongjiang has good resources in all aspects, but to be honest, it is still a little worse than Shanghai.

At least it's not near the port.

In Yan Liming's opinion, Chen Pingjiang must have his reasons for choosing to set up a factory in Shanghai, and he really couldn't bring himself to persuade Chen Pingjiang.

Of course, Yan Liming, who works in this industry, also understands the value and vision of this project.

Frankly speaking, if he was not Chen Pingjiang's future father-in-law, he would definitely risk his life to keep Huaxin.

Hearing her husband complaining, Li Yuhua's face turned unhappy.

"What's the point of saying this? We are under pressure from above, how can we not follow their orders? After all, we are paid by the government."

Both of them were a little speechless. After thinking for a moment, they both turned their eyes to their daughter Yan Yan at the same time.

Yan Yan instantly realized what it meant, and waved her hands in fear, saying, "I can't do it, I can't do it, I can't open my mouth for such a thing."

Yan Yan is very clear about work matters and never pushes Chen Pingjiang too far.

Yan Liming spread his hands, well, no one could speak.

The key point is that even if they opened their mouths, Chen Pingjiang might not agree, and in the end the organization would think that they were not doing a good job.

This is the most headache-inducing thing.

Thinking of the final result, Yan Liming could only wave his hand and said, "Is there any leftovers at home? Make some for me. I hurried back and didn't even stop at the service area on the way."

…………

It was two days later that Chen Pingjiang returned to Dongjiang from Shanghai.

These past two days I've been having a bit of a headache due to all the hassles.

However, it is impossible to agree to this matter of principle easily.

Even without the efforts from Shanghai, Chen Mingjiang was really unwilling to keep Huaxing in Dongjiang.

The mice also know that food cannot be kept in one hole.

When Chen Pingjiang arrived home, Yan Liming, Li Yuhua and Yan Yan were already waiting at Zhongshan Villa.

After seeing Chen Pingjiang, Yan Yan was delighted at first, then walked up with a smile and took Chen Pingjiang's luggage.

Over the past few months, Chen Pingjiang has been running around, and Yan Yan feels that she has never spent any time with Chen Pingjiang properly.

"Are you back from Pingjiang? You must be tired." Li Yuhua greeted him.

Chen Pingjiang nodded, "Uncle Yan, why is Aunt Li here? Isn't she going to work today, Thursday?"

Yan Liming and Li Yuhua looked at each other awkwardly, and for a moment they really didn't know how to explain.

Finally, Yan Yan chuckled and said, "They were sent back by their employer because of the issue of your wafer fab's location."

Chen Pingjiang figured out what was going on as soon as he heard it and smiled helplessly.

In Dongjiang, there is really no use doing anything.

After thinking for a while, Chen Pingjiang said, "Since Uncle Yan is here, I can't make things difficult for you. Just tell the person in charge of this matter in Dongjiang that although Huaxin will not consider setting up a factory in Dongjiang, in a few years, Dongjiang will still have another world-class company."

Yan Liming was somewhat tempted: "What new projects have you started?"

"It happened last year. I brought back a drone manufacturing company from Shenzhen. It is estimated that the world's first integrated drone will be mass-produced this year. In a few years, the whole world will know it."

Seeing Chen Pingjiang speaking so confidently, Yan Liming finally felt relieved.

This is good too. I may lose something in one place but gain something in another. At least I can have an explanation when I return.

At this time, Empress Dowager Xu spoke up: "Since you are back, let's not talk about work. Since everyone is here today, let's choose a date for the engagement and notify the relatives and elders of both parties."

Hearing this, Yan Yan instinctively showed shyness and made up an excuse to walk away.

Old father Yan Liming looked at him and smiled knowingly.

"You guys discuss the date. I need to catch up on some sleep. I didn't sleep well last night." Chen Pingjiang yawned, said goodbye and went upstairs.

Things like engagement are always taken care of by someone else, so all you have to do is show up when the day comes.

After Chen Pingjiang fell asleep, Yan Yan quietly climbed onto Chen Pingjiang's bed at some point and just stared at him with a smile on her face.

I can’t believe that they have been together for so long.

She still remembered the first time they met, the time they rode the Ferris wheel together, and the first time they stayed in the same room together all night...

Gradually, I became obsessed with it.

…………

Obviously Yan Liming got the point across.

The next day, no one from Dongjiang came to bother me anymore, and I felt a lot more relaxed.

I spent the entire day listening to progress reports on various tasks at Renren and Orange Technology.

After entering 2011, with the booming development of the smartphone market and Tencent's transformation into a micro-chat app, WeChat has proudly become an indispensable communication software.

But there are also problems.

The most obvious thing is that the conflict between WeChat and the three major operators is becoming increasingly intense.

Chen Pingjiang had discussed this matter with representatives of the three major operators as early as July last year, but ultimately failed to reach a consensus. Afterwards, Chen Pingjiang did not care about so many things and forced the launch of WeChat version 3.0.

As expected, more and more people use WeChat to replace text messages and voice calls, and the performance of the three major operators has indeed been significantly impacted.

This impact will become increasingly severe as more and more smartphone users are using it. Similarly, the problem of occupied signaling has not been solved and has been dragged on.

Recently, a strange wind has started blowing.

First, a certain department leader said at the second Lingnan Forum that WeChat might charge fees, but they would not charge a large amount. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is coordinating with operators on WeChat charging, and they will consider the reasonable requests of operators.

Then, a media outlet learned from an insider close to the decision-making level of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology that "WeChat will definitely charge fees, but the specific method of charging is still under consideration."

However, shortly afterwards, WeChat’s official Weibo account released a rumor-refuting message, denying the various rumors of charges and stating that WeChat’s basic services would not be charged.

Li Xi also said that "the WeChat team has launched a 2.5G network optimization plan and is working with the operator's operation and maintenance department to discuss signaling solutions. I believe that a solution will be found through joint efforts."

Then, a bidding announcement from Shenzhou Taiyue revealed Fetion's roadmap for the next year. China Mobile plans to add video calling and other functions to Fetion's mobile version, and also plans to increase user stickiness in aspects such as mobile desktop and ROM. Analysts said that Fetion's layout may be aimed at sniping WeChat.

China Unicom has also been busy, and has launched a software called Woyou, following the example of China Mobile.

A chat application that can be used on mobile phones or computers, it supports voice intercom, as well as sending text, emoticons, pictures, videos, etc.

Is Chen Pingjiang nervous about this?
Not at all!
Tencent has been defeated, and these two companies alone are still not enough to defeat WeChat.

The emergence of public accounts and service accounts has long made WeChat's ecosystem complete and invincible.

Wait until this summer, when we get the financial license and WeChat Pay goes online, won’t we be able to start killing people there?

The migration cost of instant messaging software that focuses on strong social relationships is terribly high. What's more, WeChat has transcended the scope of instant messaging software and has become a tool.

A tool that will be able to pay, shop, chat, video chat, group buy, register at the hospital, place orders, pay by credit card, pay utility bills, and buy tickets in the future.

Chen Pingjiang just wanted to ask, how do you fight me?
In addition, Renren did not do nothing in the face of these strange trends.

The most important move is differentiation.

The Dawang Card jointly developed with China Telecom will be launched in a month.

This move is equivalent to digging up the roots of China Unicom and China Mobile.

It is enough for China Unicom and China Mobile to cope with it for a while, so please stop making trouble.

Of course, despite the fights and quarrels between the three major parties, there is also a lot of cooperation.

Who made the Orange S2 sell so well?

The two companies had no choice but to seek cooperation, and each asked for two million contract phones.

I was still comforting myself in my heart that we were not looking for Renren, but Orange Technology. Renren and Orange Technology are not the same company.

Although both companies belong to Chen Pingjiang, they are different!

After arriving at the Qingshan Lake base, Chen Pingjiang turned his attention to the research and development progress of LTE technology.

"When can we catch up with Huawei's TD-LTE technology?"

Speaking of this, Lin Bin and Zhou Guangping both looked embarrassed.

"There is still a big gap. We started too late. In 08, Huawei conducted in-depth communication and verification work on TD-LTE with international organizations such as NGMN/LSTI and operators such as China Mobile. In 10, we completed the first phase of the MIIT field test, and the test results fully met or exceeded the test specification indicators."

Chen Pingjiang nodded helplessly. Objective factors did exist. When others were working on LTE, Orange Mobile had not yet been established.

What's more, Huawei has been in the communications field for so many years and has accumulated so much technology. That's no joke.

"It seems that if we S3 want to go overseas, we have to try other ways."

Without a patent, you will be sued if you go overseas, or you can only pay the money honestly.

Xiaomi did not go public overseas until 14, with the Indian market being its first stop.

Globally, the most lawsuits are in the mobile phone and communications industries.

Beat until my scalp is numb.

Not to mention Qualcomm, Apple and Samsung.

later.

Nokia sued BBK, which owns brands such as VIVO and OPPO, forcing the latter to bid farewell to the German market.

Panasonic has sued Xiaomi and BBK in Germany, the UK, the EU and China.

Anyway, those giants always fight over patents.

Do you think Nokia is dead? In fact, it is alive and well, lying on the sea of ​​patents and counting money.

Samsung has to pay the price for 20000 patent families, which is 3 Euros per unit.

At this time, Lin Bin smiled a little embarrassedly: "Director Chen, there is actually a way."

"Huh? What do you mean?" Chen Pingjiang was stunned.

Lin Bin asked: "When HTC had not yet entered China, where did all the HTCs in China come from?"

This time, Chen Pingjiang understood: "Are you talking about parallel imports?"

What is a parallel import phone? A parallel import phone is a non-junk phone.

Parallel imports of mobile phones refer to smuggled mobile phones that are manufactured and sold abroad and should have been sold to other countries and regions, but have entered the domestic market through various irregular channels and have not paid the taxes and fees required by the state. In short, parallel imports of mobile phones are mobile phones that have not been declared and taxed through normal channels. They are not fakes or knockoffs, but genuine mobile phones, but are sold through different channels. It should be noted that since parallel imports of mobile phones have not paid relevant taxes and fees, their prices are usually cheaper than those of mobile phones from regular channels, but they may not be able to enjoy warranty services in China.

You see, apart from not enjoying the warranty, there is no other difference.

This is why so many people used HTC in the past, and why you can buy the US or Hong Kong version of the iPhone online.

Lin Bin nodded: "The thing is, we have sufficient production, but some users are still complaining that they can't get it. Investigations have found that the sales of some agents and franchisees have been obviously abnormal recently."

"So, they all went overseas?"

"Well, I browsed some overseas professional websites. There are websites in Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia, and even in the United States and Europe."

Chen Pingjiang laughed, "As expected, as long as your mindset doesn't slip, there are always more solutions than problems. We should just turn a blind eye to this kind of thing. It doesn't hurt us anyway. As long as they don't smuggle goods domestically, let them do whatever they want. When the Orange phone is actually sold overseas, we'll wipe them out."

Orange mobile phones are not available overseas, and smuggling these parallel-imported products out is to increase sales.

Once Orange mobile phones are launched overseas, the overseas prices will be much lower than in China. If there are smuggled products at that time, it will damage the interests of Orange Technology.

Within Orange Technology, distributors are strictly prohibited from selling goods to other companies, and Moutai is the most awesome at this.

Channelling will cause market disorder, price confusion, large price gaps between products, the mixing of counterfeit products, and cause great losses to dealers in the destination area.

Therefore, it is necessary to manage the flow of goods, but there is no need to do so in this situation.

However, Chen Pingjiang still warned: "This is actually a poisonous medicine. In the final analysis, we still need to do more research and development internally, and then we can use the patents to compete with other manufacturers."

Zhou Guangping said: "Why don't we try to talk to Huawei? We have the capital to talk! Besides, we will have our own wafer fab by then, and Huawei may even come to us for help."

Chen Pingjiang nodded: "We can indeed talk about it. We may not be able to catch up with the research and development of 4G on our own, but 5G may be possible."

In February 10, Huawei demonstrated a multi-party high-definition video interoperability service based on FDD/TDD LTE wireless access at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, ​​fully demonstrating the key performance of LTE technology such as high speed, real-time performance, and mobility.

In other words, the research and development is almost complete.

If Chen Pingjiang remembers correctly, the proportion of patents in the 4G era.

Qualcomm ranked first, reaching 14%, and the third place was also an American company.

Nokia and Samsung hold roughly the same number of patents, 9%.

Huawei and Ericsson are tied at 8%.

ZTE holds 7% and Panasonic 3%.

Perhaps talking to Huawei or ZTE is one way. More friends mean more ways. Chen Pingjiang always believes that domestic companies should be united in their external approach.

After all, Huawei does not have its own wafer fab, only HiSilicon chip design company.

When we hire SMIC for foundry business, SMIC faces a lot of pressure.

Perhaps the two companies can cooperate in the future on advanced manufacturing processes. (End of this chapter)
