Chapitre 116: Chapter 116: Acquisition of Xiongxin Semiconductor
"Regardless of how much money is invested, I will make it happen. Whether it's one billion or ten billion..."
Zhou Chen's youthful face was full of determination.
Even if it means crawling on our knees, we must continue on the path of mobile phones.
Reborn with memories of the previous life, one must make some contributions for the country and the people.
He even planned to set up a real estate company to develop Wenzhou in Sichuan Province, in order to cope with the unavoidable disaster four years later.
Sun Hong sensed an unwavering determination to achieve the goal from Zhou Chen's eyes and words.
So this young man chose to go all out right after entering the mobile phone industry.
"Besides... Your mobile phone can only show its advantages when using 3G network, but currently our country has no intention of promoting 3G network yet!"
Sun Hong lit another cigarette. He thought it was impossible for Zhou Chen to make this mobile phone.
"Don't worry about that. Just focus on researching and developing the chips with peace of mind!"
Zhou Chen replied calmly, as if everything was under his control.
It is currently the 2G era, but a large number of countries have already begun to enter the 3G era.
The idea of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is to save costs, skip the 3G era, and directly enter the 4G era until smart phones are popularized in the country.
It was not until 2009 that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued 3G licenses.
It took several years to build 3G signal base stations.
Just as the 3G network was becoming popular, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued 4G licenses in 2013.
It was only when the 3G network was established that the real Internet era began.
If smart phones are developed ahead of schedule, then the 3G network will also be established ahead of schedule.
However, the prerequisite for promoting the issuance of 3G licenses by the higher authorities is that one must possess great influence.
Therefore, one must become extremely famous within two years to have the capital to negotiate conditions with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
"Now that you are the boss of the company, you have the final say!"
Sun Hong still didn't believe that Zhou Chen could succeed. However, the other party had already given him the money to acquire the company, and now the company no longer belonged to him.
Taking another look at the project proposal on the computer, Sun Hong asked in a deep voice, "How much do you know about this chip? Can you talk to me about it in detail?"
Zhou Chen glanced at the time. It was already nine o'clock in the evening. However, he had slept for several hours in the afternoon and wasn't sleepy yet. He said with a smile, "It's too late today. I don't mind, but..."
"Don't worry about me. Staying up late is my strong suit..." Sun Hong interrupted Zhou Chen.
"Okay, then I'll let my driver go and rest first!" Zhou Chen took out his phone and called Qi Yunfeng.
Sun Hong went outside to ask Sun Dasheng to buy some drinks, liquor, and snacks.
The lights in the office of the chairman of Xiongxin Company were on all night long.
Zhou Chen was talking about various functions of future smart phones, while Sun Hong was like a student asking for advice with an open mind, writing down almost every word of Zhou Chen's in his notebook.
Before they knew it, it was already ten o'clock in the morning the next day.
Zhou Chen drank the last bottle of mineral water and, looking at the still energetic Sun Hong, said, "Uncle Sun, do you have any more questions?"
Sun Hong looked at Zhou Chen with a complicated expression and said, "You've told me so much. Aren't you worried that I'll run away with these conceptual functions?"
It was no exaggeration to say that if the notebook in his hand was sold to those foreign tech giant companies, it could even be sold for tens of billions.
This was a revolutionary chip. Once developed, it would promote the technological development of human society.
Zhou Chen smiled slightly and said, "What do you think of Motorola and Nokia?"
Sun Hong pondered for a moment and said, "We can only look up to them!"
Both of these companies have a history of more than a hundred years and are now the leaders in the mobile phone market.
Facing these two companies is like a human cub facing Mount Tai.
Zhou Chen continued, "Although they are powerful, if we can make this kind of mobile phone, it's only a matter of time before we surpass them!"
"Hiss..."
Sun Hong couldn't help but take a sharp breath.
What Zhou Chen said was indeed true. The foreign technological level was far ahead.
A large number of domestic technological products were almost all imported from abroad.
Nokia and Motorola occupied almost 60% of the global mobile phone market.
If it were anyone else who said such things, Sun Hong would only think they were crazy.
But these words came from Zhou Chen.
After last night's in-depth conversation by candlelight, he had a new understanding of Zhou Chen, and his worldview had been refreshed again and again.
So he thought that what Zhou Chen said was entirely possible to achieve.
Sun Hong took a sip of the already cold tea to moisten his throat and then said in a deep voice, "However, you should also be mentally prepared. To develop this chip, a huge amount of research and development funds will be required, and it's not certain that it will be successful!"
"Hard work pays off. I believe we will succeed!"
"Don't worry about the funds. Let me know whenever you are short of money!"
Zhou Chen naturally knew how difficult it was to develop chips independently.
Moreover, after developing the chip, they would still have to worry about the lithography machine.
Huawei had just established a chip company this year, but it wasn't until 2009 that it developed its first chip.
It should be noted that Huawei could achieve an annual sales volume of 15 billion yuan four years ago.
However, even such a behemoth took five years to develop the chip.
As for the funds invested, it was an unimaginable astronomical figure.
Nevertheless, they carried out completely independent research and development from scratch.
As for myself asking Sun Hong to make the chip, at least I gave him a research and development direction.
Actually, Zhou Chen had thought about telling the direction of chip research and development to Huawei.
If the concepts and functions of future chips were told to Huawei, it would be like giving them a flashlight in the dark night, and they could quickly make the chips.
But this also means that I would lose the mobile phone market.
"Right now, we are short of money. The fifty million you gave me can only be used to repay the bank loans. The remaining five million, I want to use to poach a few old friends..."
Sun Hong has a few old friends who are engaged in the chip research and development industry, but they are all working in a certain foreign company.
Zhou Chen guessed that those old friends of Sun Hong were most likely working at TI, so he said with a smile, "Okay, after the company is transferred to my name tomorrow, I will inject funds into the company!"
It's not that he didn't trust Sun Hong. After all, he had even told him the core secrets of the chip. But one still had to be a bit cautious.
"Okay, it's getting late. Let's go to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau together tomorrow!"
When Sun Hong said this, his eyes looked a bit dim.
Naturally, he couldn't be happy about having to hand over the company that he had painstakingly managed for more than twenty years.
"Yeah, then I'll go back and get some sleep too!"
Zhou Chen could see Sun Hong's reluctance.
However, he had to take controlling shares in Xiongxin Company.
If Sun Hong performed well, he could be appropriately given some shares.
Zhou Chen left Xiongxin and walked out of the company gate. Just as he was about to call Qi Yunfeng, he found that Qi Yunfeng was standing across the street smoking.
Qi Yunfeng had tidied himself up. It seemed that he had even got a haircut. He was wearing a white shirt, black trousers and leather shoes, looking very energetic.
Zhou Chen crossed the street, walked up to the car and said with a smile, "When did you get a haircut?"
Qi Yunfeng gave a faint smile. "Last night... Do I look energetic?"
Zhou Chen nodded with a smile and then got into the car.
Qi Yunfeng drove back to Jiangzhou.
In the car, he looked at Zhou Chen through the rear-view mirror and asked, "Did you also acquire this semiconductor company?"
