548. Mr. Cao, are you a god?

Imperial capital.

In a hotel.

"How could this happen?"

Cao Yang sat opposite Zhang Rujing, looking at the haggard man in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh.

Yes, how could this happen?

Just in November this year, when Bomi Company's "Shan Hai Jing·Yan Feng" achieved perfect results, SMIC led by Zhang Rujing faced the biggest dilemma in history.

SMIC was once again sued by Radio and Television.

On November 3, the U.S. District Court for California ruled that SMIC lost the case and required an additional $200 million in compensation and a 10% stake.

On November 10, SMIC Integrated Circuit Manufacturing Co., Ltd. announced that it entered into a settlement agreement with China Baodao Integrated Circuit Manufacturing Co., Ltd., which will resolve all pending lawsuits between the parties, including legal actions submitted by Radio International in California (“California Litigation”)

Among them, the jury sentenced SMIC to lose the case on November 4, 2009.

and the legal actions submitted by SMIC on BJ (“BJ Litigation”).

SMIC and Radio and Telecom entered into a settlement agreement on November 9, 2009 to quell and dismiss California lawsuits (including all charges and defenses that SMIC has to be determined in the case) and SMIC appealed against the BJ lawsuit, thus ending all lawsuits pending for the court on both sides.

In other words, Zhang Rujing has given up the lawsuit filed against Radio Station in the imperial capital, and the two parties have reached a settlement.

"But the price of this reconciliation is too high, right?"

"What can I do if I don't reconcile?" Zhang Rujing lowered his head in a little frustrated, like a defeated rooster.

He raised his glass with some depression and drank it all.

Typically, drinking to drown your sorrows.

If Cao Yang had not seen the news of SMIC's defeat in time and quickly made him come out, I was afraid that this person would have submitted his resignation and left SMIC.

As a person who founded SMIC, he couldn't just leave like that.

Otherwise, SMIC would have to fall into a vicious cycle in its previous life.

Since 2009, SMIC has been a watershed, and after that, it has begun to decline.

The main reason is that Zhang Rujing can't stand the approach of Radio TSMC. Whenever SMIC starts to become formal and can already make profits, Radio TSMC always has to drag you down and then make you feel overwhelmed through various lawsuits.

Affects the normal operation of the company.

It's not listed now.

Since 2006, Radio Station Ji has been suing them for infringement, suing Zhang Rujing for commercial spies, and suing SMIC for using Radio Station Ji's technology without their consent...

In short, it is to drag you through various means to make you live without a good life.

Zhang Rujing frowned depressedly, feeling extremely uncomfortable, "So I am tired and don't want to fight them any longer. I have seen that if Zhang Mouzhong doesn't keep me going, he will not let SMIC go.

If I don’t submit my resignation, I will face difficulties from Radio Station in the future.

Zhongji Chip Country is not developing well."

Zhang Jingru's face was so bitter, even bitter than bitter melon. Basically, he could twist it out of bitter water if he twisted it.

After hearing his words, Cao Yang felt a little nervous.

no!

How can this work?

After Zhang Rujing left SMIC in his previous life, SMIC entered a trough period of several years. The gap between the chip field and radio station was not that big, but after the core figure left, the gap was suddenly widened. Later, SMIC fell into the suffering of internal struggle and power seizure, which led to a slump. It was not until later that Liang Mengsong, the big bull in the chip industry, that this situation was improved.

Therefore, Cao Yang is very worried that he will repeat the mistakes of his previous life now. If Zhang Rujing is gone, China's chip technology will stagnate from now on.

What's more, Bomi now needs SMIC, because a considerable number of their mobile phone chips are entrusted to SMIC for manufacturing.

It wouldn't work without them.

"I think you're still thinking too extreme." Cao Yang persuaded, "It's useless to leave. It can't solve any problem at all. It will only put SMIC in trouble.

After all, this company is built by you, and the employees only enter this company because of your personal charm.

After leaving you, the company may stagnate and may be in an internal strife."

"Internal fighting?" Zhang Rujing raised his red eyes and looked at Cao Yang strangely.

"Well...yes," Cao Yang coughed twice nervously.

Don't ask me how I know, I'm a reborn person.

"I still have some understanding of the situation of your SMIC." Cao Yang said, "As soon as you leave, there will be no leader, and there is no one in the company who can convince the public. At that time, it will lead to civil strife.

I'll give an example by myself.

If one day I resigned from the position of Chairman Bomi like you, what would happen?

My old employee must be the head of the game department, Li Lanyun, the most prestigious, because he has been with me the longest time and has made great contributions.

But what about Liu Zhiping?

He is my appointed vice president, responsible for all the company's strategic content. In other words, he controls the general direction of the company and is the leader.

Where is Liu Qiang?

Bomi Electronics Ceo, Bomi’s electronic products business now accounts for more than 55% of the company’s total revenue.

Although he has the shortest time with me, he has the highest benefits.

Who do you think they are convinced?”

"Um..." Zhang Rujing narrowed his eyes and thought silently about Cao Yang's words.

Although he drank some wine, he was a little confused, but he could still understand what Cao Yang was saying.

This situation is indeed very dangerous. When all the power of a company is tied to one person, or if the energy of someone is too great, as the soul of the company, it may cause the company to fall apart in an instant.

This is the case now SMIC.

In a sense, Zhang Rujing and Cao Yang are in similar situations.

In fact, this situation is common in startups. The first generation project is very successful. It is very dangerous not to find a second generation project that is particularly courageous and able to surpass the heroes.

Bomi is like this.

This is true for SMIC.

This is true for JD.com.

The same is true for Alibaba.

Lenovo is a little better because although Shi Yanagawa is also the soul of the company, it may not be that large, and the newly promoted Yang Yuanqing is capable enough, and with Lao Liu in the back, he can convince people.

However, if Zhang Rujing retreated very cleanly, he would not have such an effect.

Then civil strife is inevitable.

...

"But..." Zhang Rujing was about to burst into tears after he said this.

A man doesn’t cry easily, but he hasn’t reached the sad place.

Zhang Rujing is so bitter, Cao Yang can taste it from afar.

"But if I continue to stay at SMIC, Radio and Telecom will not let us go."

"Yes, this is something I'm very curious about," Cao Yang raised his glass and touched him. "When we communicated before, didn't I tell you if we encounter legal disputes in the future, should we ask for help from the superiors? Why did we still end up like this?"

"Why……"

Zhang Rujing was frowning when Cao Yang asked this.

"Why!"

He sighed again.

This made Cao Yang feel miserable.

"I asked for help, but unfortunately the superiors couldn't save me." Zhang Rujing said uncomfortable.

"For example, this time, we plan to appeal in the imperial capital and sue Television."

"But later I found out that the problem was not with us and NTD, but with the West and our country. Do you understand what I mean?" Zhang Rujing raised his hand.

Cao Yang looked at him silently, then shook his head silently.

"don't know."

"To put it bluntly, this matter is a grudge between us and Radio Station. They want to sue us for infringement, but we have paid the relevant fees and have reached a relevant exchange agreement before.

We pay them a fee and TSMC allows us to use some of their patents.

But later, Radio Station changed its mind again, and it cannot be said that there are no forces pushing them to do this later."

"Anthracene!"

When Cao Yang heard this, he suddenly understood.
