The gasoline man's revision of the plan and Lao Ni's joy at the cooperation made Fang Zhuo feel particularly good in the last few days before the year.
Once the annual meeting is over and bonuses are distributed, in addition to arranging duty preparations for the New Year, the most important thing in each company is to select internally discounted holiday gifts. This activity is hosted by Tesco.
Since there is such a term as "Yike System", Tesco launched a new year shopping event without losing money under the wishes of Mr. Su.
This caused great repercussions internally, and many employees suggested that as one of the leaders of domestic e-commerce brands, Tesco has the strength and the need to develop blockbuster products such as cars and motorcycles.
It would be even better if the house buying activity that was removed from the shelves for the first Double Eleven could be re-listed.
The sound of the abacus was so loud that even Su Wei, who took the opportunity to inspect the construction site of the new district headquarters, heard it clearly. She rejected the unreliable proposal, but thought that next year she could collect some big gifts that everyone voted for as raffle prizes.
Many matters had to wait for the coming year. Fang Zhuo met Qiu Ciyun on January 23, which was also the 28th day, and discussed the investment issue of the German factory with him. This was the last serious matter before the Lunar New Year.
The main intention of Bingxin to invest in Germany is unanimous, but there are still many conditions and details that need to be negotiated and fought for.
The ability of 65n Cheng is a popular craft in the international market. Even if the economic environment is not good in the past two years, there will never be a shortage of customers. However, it is naturally better to get 90 points than 80 points.
Fang Zhuo hopes that Bingxin can obtain more customer resource guarantees within the cooperation framework reached with Germany.
In the new year, for Qiu Ciyun, a "factory construction master", leading a team to build a German factory will be a very important task and challenge.
On January 25, 2009, Fang Zhuo had a big family New Year's Eve dinner in a hotel, which has become a custom. He personally distributed small red envelopes to the children and received some mostly handmade gifts.
After playing two rounds of mahjong with his parents, he escaped amidst everyone's laughter.
"It's time for me to persuade the children to study hard." Fang Zhuo washed his face and sighed a little in his heart, "It's just that I really can't lead by example."
"It's easy, just say, "Your uncle just suffered the disadvantage of not studying hard, otherwise he would have been the richest man in the world." Su Wei joked and said, "This is not easy to persuade. You read a lot now.
, but I don’t know if anyone will believe it.”
Fang Zhuo thought for a moment and said, "That's fine to say to the media. Well, next time it will be you, the teacher, who advises the children to study hard."
He and Xiao Su chatted a little about things at home, and then the secretary Liu Zonghong came over with his mobile phone. It was almost time to make a few calls to say New Year greetings.
It's past dinner time, the Spring Festival Gala is getting boring, and everyone hasn't slept yet, so it's just the right time to pay New Year greetings.
Two years ago, Fang Zhuo had to think carefully about holiday greetings and take all aspects into consideration. In the past two years, he has gradually become a role that needs to be taken into consideration by others.
However, it was said that it was only a few hours, but the actual phone calls lasted for an hour.
Compared with last year, he had an obvious new feeling. In addition to caring about Bingxin, several leaders also paid more attention to Yike.
Just when Fang Zhuo put down his phone and wanted to talk about the call that had just ended, a number appeared on his phone that surprised him. He showed the number to Su Wei, then answered the call with a smile on his face and wished each other a happy new year.
"What's new?" Su Wei asked. She saw the name, which was Gao Qiquan, the general manager of Huayake.
"Just a polite New Year's greeting, nothing else." Fang Zhuo said with a smile, "But this is the first time I have received an active call from him since I have been in contact with Gao Qiquan. There should be something new, but
I don’t know what’s going on.”
Gao Qiquan was a big boss in the DRAM industry, and he had contact with him through Liang Mengsong's first-level relationship, but that was only limited to some contact.
Bingxin's plan for DRAM is purely a PPT. The niche storage of Lin'an No. 2 Factory is not taken seriously by General Manager Gao. Even if there is a little talk about the opportunity to enter the mainstream storage field, it means that the dialogue is maintained.
.
Fang Zhuo had no thoughts about Gao Qiquan before he got sufficient nutrition from Qimonda at Lin'an No. 2 Factory, but... when the opportunity arose, he was happy to seize it.
This line can make people focus on following it again.
·……
New Year's Eve.
Gao Qiquan looked at the northern night in the study room of his Baodao home.
This year will not go well for all practitioners in the semiconductor field, especially in the storage field. The industry is in a recession, the economic environment is not optimistic, and all links of the industry chain are in gloom.
For Gao Qiquan, Huayake's difficulties are worrying, and another recent personal incident has made him a little mixed. His eldest son, who was influenced by him and also devoted himself to the DRAM field, has a lover, who is Korean. This time
I came back from the United States during the annual vacation to meet my parents together. Koreans are nothing like that. The little girl is very knowledgeable and courteous, and her son is in love with her. However, because of this, the son considered settling in South Korea from the United States and accepted the invitation of South Korea's Samsung Company.
Gao Qiquan is very happy that his son's life is about to reach another stage, but he is also nervous that Samsung does not know the identity of his son's father.
Huayaco used to be Qimonda's foundry, but now it has been changed to Micron's foundry. It has always been a competitor of Samsung. If Samsung doesn't know its identity, it is likely to cause unnecessary trouble in the future.
Gao Qiquan considered this and took the initiative to discuss the matter with a Samsung deputy general manager.
Then, he got a reassuring answer - "President Gao, we do not regard you as competitors." The good news is that his son's career will not be affected.
The bad news is that his career seems to have little influence. Gao Qiquan had been working as a deputy before joining Huayake. He thought he could flex his muscles in Huayake, but he met the sluggish Qimonda, who was busy most of the time.
Just wipe your ass.
Now that Huayake has introduced Micron to replace Qimonda, I don’t know what kind of changes will happen to its right to speak in the future.
DRAM factories must continuously invest in upgrading new manufacturing processes. Stocks in Southeast Asia are also weak in this regard. However, Samsung continues to increase its investment counter-cyclically. The competition in the entire industry has not weakened at all, but has become more bloody.
Under such circumstances, after Gao Qiquan saw the New Year greeting message from the head of Bingxin, he accidentally called him and chatted briefly.
It's just a New Year greeting.
Gao Qiquan lit a cigarette, drove away the young voice of the head of Yike from his mind, and started to think about Huayake's 68n process transformation in the coming year again.
…
The first day of the Lunar New Year, the Lunar New Year.
Fang Zhuo transformed into the God of Wealth in the morning and distributed red envelopes to relatives who saw him.
At noon, he received a call from Infineon CEO Bauer of Germany and was asked whether he would further increase his shareholding.
Infineon's stock price has been falling since last year. Due to the situation in the industry and Qimonda, it fell even more sharply in January this year.
Based on this development, MIGA Fund actively acquired 5% of the stocks in the secondary market and notified Infineon in accordance with regulations. "No, no, Bauer, don't worry, I have no intention of seeking a seat on Infineon's board of directors." Fang Zhuo
After hearing the purpose of the visit, he explained his actions, "It is true that Infineon's stock price is too low. I am optimistic about your future development."
"If the MIGA fund continues to accumulate stocks, it will only be due to financial reasons, not what Bingxin or I have in mind."
Bauer is the new leader who just took over as CEO of Infineon last year.
Under the global financial crisis, many companies have changed their heads in an attempt to better boost their performance.
He was very nervous after receiving the letter and announcement from MIGA Fund. He made the call after holding a meeting to discuss whether the Chinese people had any intention to seek control.
Although the stock price is falling, Infineon's management is still relatively confident in its recovery and believes that the current market value is not a reflection of the company's true value. However, when everyone is generally short of money, a rich man emerges to hold shares.
Still makes people frown.
After listening to Mr. Fang, Bauer
With his words, he felt somewhat relaxed and expressed his confidence in the development of Infineon.
Just now it was an inquiry, now it is the CEO sending a positive signal to shareholders.
Fang Zhuo listened to the CEO's slightly restrained voice with a smile and sighed: "It's not easy, but I still say the same thing. I have confidence in Infineon and I believe everyone can come out. However, Infineon
If you want to improve the situation, you must travel lightly. Qimonda must handle the situation as soon as possible." "Speaking of which, Qimonda still owes me more than 10 million US dollars in OEM fees."
"The burden of Qimonda is too heavy for Infineon. No matter what, it is better to clarify it as soon as possible." Fang Zhuo initially expressed his wish.
Ball agrees.
He hesitated for a moment, then looked at the words and mentioned another thing: "Mr. Fang, Infineon's task this year is to concentrate resources and energy on our trump card field in the automotive industry. As you said, the burden is all
Let it go as much as possible." Fang Zhuo listened quietly.
"Mr. Fang, Yike mobile phones are very good. I heard that there is a good R&D center in Silicon Valley. I wonder if you are interested in wireless solutions?" Bauer asked.
Fang Zhuo repeated what the other party said: "Wireless solution?"
Ball added an extra word this time: "Wireless Solutions Division."
Fang Zhuo was surprised: "Is it the overall sale of the department?" Bauer gave an affirmative answer.
Fang Zhuo was silent for a few seconds. Hey, this new leader is really a bastard.
Infineon's wireless solutions department LS, simply put, is Infineon's wireless chip department. It mainly provides baseband processors, radio frequency transceivers, power management integrated circuits, additional connectivity features, single-chip solutions and corresponding
system software.
However, Infineon's wireless chip department cannot even compete with STMicroelectronics, let alone compete with Qualcomm. It is indeed useless to Infineon, and it is reasonable to use it to operate during the economic crisis.
Fang Zhuo changed his mind and did not expect to see the opening of Infineon Supermarket on the first day of the New Year. He still gave priority to providing the category list to shareholders.
He inquired: "How much is it?"
"Euros 2 billion." Ball quoted in a deep voice.
Fang Zhuo: "..."
He gave each other ten seconds to adjust their moods, and then said again: "Cut yourself."
Do you really think of yourself as the God of Wealth? The price is too high. Ball then cut himself off and explained: "This is the price we are considering for external parties. Mr. Fang, if Yike is interested in LS, we can offer it at 1.5 billion euros."
Negotiate a reasonable price on this basis.”
Fang Zhuo estimated that there was still a lot of space here, but if we really wanted to negotiate, we would have to attach other conditions.
He pondered for a moment and said: "As far as I know, Infineon's LS does have big customers like Nokia and Samsung, but they mainly get highly substitutable parts like radio frequency and baseband. Moreover, in order to attract customers, you
I’m afraid the profit margin is also very slim.”
Bauer said nothing. This was indeed the case, otherwise why would it be considered for sale?
The Wireless Solutions Division is a larger division of Infineon. In terms of revenue contribution alone, it can account for 30% of Infineon. However, it is hovering on the edge of profitability, more than enough.
"After hearing this news, Yi Ke does have some interest, but it depends on the specific situation of your LS." Fang Zhuo said, "In principle, I support Infineon in going into battle lightly. If we can solve the problem of Qimonda and
"LS, I believe that Infineon's financial situation will be significantly improved this year." "Well, at the beginning of next month, Bingxin will have a team going to Germany, and Yike will also send a team by then. I hope
We can talk about reducing the burden on Infineon." Bauer listened to Mr. Fang's vague words and asked: "Bingxin and Yike's team? Can Bingxin also consider acquiring LS?"
"No, Bauer, Bingxin is a member of Qimonda's creditor representatives. I hope Bingxin and Yike can be helpful to Infineon's Qimonda and LS." Fang Zhuo replied. Bauer
Shocked: "Bingxin is the creditor's representative? But Qimonda and LS are two different things."
"Yes, they are two different things." Fang Zhuo admitted this.
, and then said, "However, putting it together may be more helpful to solve the problem. The DRAM patent held by Qimonda has no value if left there. Ice Core has a certain interest in it."
Bauer understood that ice cores could also be paid for.
"On February 3, our team will arrive in Germany, and I hope everyone can have candid contact." Fang Zhuo sent his heartfelt wishes on the first day of the New Year.
"Infineon has always been very honest with its friends, Mr. Fang, and I hope you will come to Infineon again when you have time." Bauer knew that Mr. Fang visited the factory at the beginning of the month.
Fang Zhuo smiled and said, "I wish Ge Feiling better and better."
Ball ended the call politely: "Thank you, Mr. Fang, and I wish Yike and Bingxin achieve better development."
The CEO of Infineon, the new shareholder of Infineon, the creditor representative of Qimonda, Yike and the head of Bingxin concluded a fruitful dialogue. They all had a bright outlook for the new year. One hopes to sell more money, and the other hopes to make more money.
