Chapter 323 How can Lu Qi, who was tricked, bring semiconductors back to nirvana?
Lu Qi’s last report.
Since I just arrived, I can't talk about any long-term plans. I just mentioned one thing, "I got the news that Qi Yu, the former art director of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment, has joined Tenda."
"Did you sign a confidentiality agreement before?"
Zhang Shuo was also a little surprised. He didn't expect Qi Yu to be poached by Tengda. The cards were quite high.
"Signed."
"Then it's nothing."
Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment took the initiative to let the person go. Since there are no hidden dangers, there is nothing to say.
"Have you encountered any difficulties when the Qingyun Data headquarters relocated to Beijing?" Lu Qi didn't say much, but Zhang Shuo took the initiative to care about his work.
"The overall situation is relatively stable, but there will definitely be some noise internally. You know, compared to Binhai City, for ordinary employees, the cost of living and life pressure in Beijing will be greater. There are also some differences between the north and the south.
If they are not convinced, a few people choose to leave their jobs." Lu Qi knew quite well.
Beijing is a megacity, and commuting alone is unbearable for migrant workers.
And there’s smog…
"This is indeed a problem."
As a former social worker, Zhang Shuo naturally has a deep understanding of the complaints of lower-level employees. After thinking about it for a while, he saw Jiang Yue and asked, "Can the group consider formulating a medium- and long-term development plan? The core point is to integrate research and development into
It would be very good for institutions and other branches that are not necessarily located in super metropolitan areas such as Kyoto and Shanghai to move to new second-tier cities in a planned manner, such as Linxiang, Luzhou and other places."
This is not to say that super metropolitan areas are bad; their existence has its own value and significance.
However, the excessive concentration of resources, talent, capital, and technology will not only create a strong siphon effect in surrounding areas, but is also very unfriendly to migrant workers in urban areas.
Sprout has no way to change the pattern of urban areas. What it can do is to sink as many branches as possible to second-tier cities while taking care of supermarkets such as Beijing and Shanghai.
Stop swarming into bustling urban areas.
If we take a longer-term view, perhaps this situation can only be truly changed after virtual reality and augmented reality technology achieve breakthroughs and enter mature commercial applications.
By then, everyone working from home may no longer be a dream.
"When conditions are right, a smooth internal circulation system should be built in the entire budding system to allow qualified and willing employees to return to their hometowns to work."
Even if it is a return to the provincial level, it is still a very remarkable progress.
At least I no longer have to be a migratory bird migrating across provinces.
China's decades of great development and rise have indeed achieved world-renowned achievements, but behind this impressive report card are countless families who "migrate back and forth all year round."
Let’s not talk about migrant workers.
As one of the hardest working groups, they travel back and forth between their hometown and big cities every year, building countless high-rise buildings, but cannot find a place to settle in big cities.
How can college students feel comfortable?
Especially those who work in first-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Binhai City, if they cannot buy a house locally, in the final analysis, they are still just passing by.
The flourishing flowers in the big city do not belong to them after all.
Many of Zhang Shuo's classmates, after working hard in big cities such as Binhai for several years, if they were unable to buy a house or buy a car, would choose to return to their hometown in Jiangcheng, find a job with a lower salary, get married and have children.
This is all pretty good.
The saddest thing is the kind that, due to professional reasons, can't find a job except in big cities. Even if they don't buy a house or buy a car, they can only live in a big city.
No wonder it is said that freelancing will become a new trend in the future, and young people will shout "Get down".
Not to mention that Chinese people are cute and respectable, whether they are born in the 1990s or 2000s, although there are many people shouting about lying flat on the Internet, in reality there are few real lazy people, and they are still working hard to carry forward the burden.
At least around Zhang Shuo, I didn’t see anyone really lying down and chewing on the old man.
Isn’t it embarrassing?!
"good."
Jiang Yue quickly wrote down that this was within the scope of her responsibilities.
"The suggestions I just mentioned are just temporary thoughts and are definitely not comprehensive. I suggest that Human Resources should formulate an employee protection plan, truly implement the protection of employees, and strive to enable every employee to work with dignity.
A life of dignity.”
Zhang Shuo, however, took matters seriously.
With the development of Germination to the scale it is today, the protection of employees should also be put on the agenda. We cannot just focus on fulfilling social responsibilities, but instead ignore the care for our own employees.
That's a little bit of that.
"Okay, I will discuss this matter with Director Wu later."
Jiang Yue is still under a lot of pressure.
Gein's sprouting business spans the manufacturing and service industries, and its employee composition is very complex. There are top scientists, highly educated researchers, programmers, as well as store clerks who have not attended college, takeout delivery people, and electronics factory workers.
It is really difficult to keep a bowl of water level.
But no matter how difficult it is, if the big boss has spoken, he must find a way to implement it.
Working and living with dignity is already the most basic need for adults. Regardless of position or education level, everyone must be treated equally.
This is also one of the connotations of budding corporate culture.
………
the next day.
When Zhang Shuo appeared on campus, he was holding Mai Li X1, which immediately attracted the attention of Tang Yu and others.
"Third brother, what brand of mobile phone is this? I haven't seen it before. It's so beautiful." Tang Yu looked over and over, but couldn't find the LOGO.
"This is an engineering prototype. Of course you have never seen it."
Since it is an engineering prototype, it naturally does not have a LOGO, and even the appearance and size are deliberately different from the final product to avoid leaking information in advance.
"Is it a MaiLi phone?" Tang Yu was also smart and guessed it right away, "I didn't expect the MaiLi phone to be so beautiful. When will it be officially launched? I want to buy one too."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Business confidential, no comment!"
Zhang Shuo didn't trust Tang Yu, a big talker. He brought the prototype with him, not to show off, but to really experience it seriously.
Overall, Maili X1 can only be regarded as a mediocre smartphone at best.
The process design is amazing, but the technology is mediocre.
Not to mention it is comparable to the Pingguo 6 of the original time and space, even if compared with the current Samsung S3, it is only half as good at best, and in some fields it is not even as good as the Samsung S3.
That's it.
They still rely on the advantages of appearance design.
In the final analysis, Maili Group was established too short and its technological accumulation was too weak.
Because Maili X1 uses a Qualcomm chip and an Android system, it cannot achieve the perfect combination of software and hardware like Pingguo. It is prone to heat, has worrying battery life, and has many flaws such as insufficiently saturated colors.
It needs to be improved one by one in subsequent models.
"By the way, third brother, this Saturday is the Dragon Boat Festival. We are going to have a graduation dormitory party at Xiao Xi's house. Do you want to join us?" Tang Yu smiled and invited.
"Why did you ask me to go to the gathering of the little sisters in your dormitory?" Zhang Shuo didn't want to go.
"Hmph, if you don't go, I will get Xiao Xi drunk." Tang Yu puffed up his cheeks, like a little tiger about to bite, "Then he posted on the school network saying that you were always in love with Xiao Xi and finally gave up.
"
"Okay, okay, I'll go. Isn't it okay if I go?"
Zhang Shuo believed that this girl Tang Yu could do what she said.
………
Lu Kai also moved very quickly.
On Monday, Zhang Shuo made the decision to initiate the acquisition of Rudike, and on Wednesday it issued an acquisition notice for Rudike, planning to fully acquire Rudike at a price of 3.85 billion.
After the acquisition is completed.
Ruidike will be merged into Daosui Semiconductor and become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Daosui Semiconductor.
In fact, as early as when the acquisition of Zhanxun was launched, the Merger and Acquisition Department of Sprout Investment had already completed the due diligence investigation on Rudike, and has maintained contact with Rudike since then.
So it's Friday.
Ruidike issued an announcement and readily accepted the offer from Germination, and the acquisition was officially launched.
In the original time and space, Blu-ray Group experienced some twists and turns when it acquired Redeco. At that time, there was another Shanghai-based company that was interested in Redeco, and it even received official approval earlier.
But later on, the Blu-ray Group used some tricks to steal the food from the tiger's mouth.
The difference is that Sprout's acquisition of Ruidike was completed two years in advance. At this time, Blu-ray Group was still in the midst of major changes and integration, and there was no time for other companies to take care of it.
The company from Mo Dao is naturally no match for Germination.
………
As soon as Redeco's announcement came out, as expected, it caused a small stir in the public opinion field.
"Mr. Ya is really rich. He can hit dozens of small targets at every turn."
"It is a good thing that Sprout is increasing its investment in the semiconductor industry. It is better than frantically getting involved with the three giants in the Internet industry. I hope the next Warwick will be born!!!"
"With this kind of buying and selling, I always feel like a nouveau riche. It's hard to surpass Warwick, right?"
"What if we start from scratch?"
"Everyone is still looking forward to seeing how the Maili mobile phone is going to be. Whether it will be possible for Germination to enter the manufacturing industry will be revealed by looking at the Maili mobile phone."
"I hope it's not a joke!"
Not only netizens were curious, but also the big names in the industry were shocked.
“It’s great to have money!!”
Rebus was truly envious. The funds used to acquire Ruidike alone exceeded Xiaomi's financing in this round, and the former was just for the layout of mobile phone chips.
If Xiaomi had a big backer like Mo Yao, Rebus would also want to show off his talents.
Unfortunately....
"Zhang Shuo, this guy, complained to me about poverty last month, and now he has made another big move." The uncle still couldn't understand why Mei Ya wanted to invest more in the semiconductor industry.
"Still young."
The uncle is a little proud. He cares more about Internet finance than the semiconductor industry.
That's what really lays the golden eggs.
………
Saturday, June 23rd.
Zhang Shuo had no time to pay attention to the public opinion on the Internet, so he was forced to accompany Tang Yu and others to celebrate the festival. He drove to the downstairs of the apartment and called Tang Yu to come down and move his things.
"Third brother, how many things did you buy, and you still want me to come down and move them..."
Tang Yu complained as usual, but before he finished speaking, he was attracted by the new sports car next to Zhang Shuo.
"Wow, is this the latest Porsche Panamera?"
Murong Yan, who came down with her, was even more exaggerated. When she saw the sports car, she could hardly move. Her eyes were full of obsession, which showed how lethal the Paramela was to girls.
"cough."
After all, Tang Yu was more knowledgeable. He recovered quickly and complained: "Third brother, I'm not talking about you. You're a grown man, just drive a Panamera, and you still choose the red model. It's a waste."
"Like it?"
Zhang Shuo, on the other hand, seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
"Of course I like it." Tang Yu complained, but he was actually a little envious. "Hey, it will be very hard to think about having to squeeze into the subway to go to work every day starting next month, okay?"
With his second uncle's nature, it was naturally impossible for him to equip Tang Yu with a car.
"I'll give it to you if you like it."
Zhang Shuo handed over the car keys.
"Give it to me?" Tang Yu was shocked and rarely stuttered.
"Yes, didn't I say before that I would give you a small gift when you graduate? This is it."
"Thank you, third brother!"
Tang Yu happily gave Zhang Shuo a big hug.
"Tsk, tsk, this is our third brother. The more than two million Porsche Panamera has become a small gift." Murong Yan was so envious that she almost broke up with her. "Wow, if only I had such a brother.
alright."
"Don't you have thousands of little brothers in your live broadcast room?" Li Ling joked with a smile.
"Can that be the same?"
Murong Yan rolled her eyes, "They're all for free, let alone a Porsche, they don't even give me a bicycle."
"Pfft!!!"
Everyone was also amused by Murong Yan.
"Third brother, will it cause any harm if I drive this car to work?"
After the brief excitement, Tang Yu became worried again.
"It's okay. You are my sister. You drive a Porsche to work. Isn't it very high-profile?" Zhang Shuo was not just hot-headed. Tang Yu worked in a newspaper office, so not many people may know her identity.
But once Porsche made its debut, not many people would find fault with it, even in Binhai.
I wonder what kind of family it is.
"This is what you said. If anyone asks, I will tell you that it was given by you." Tang Yu is also a smart boy. He said he was worried about the impact, but in fact he was worried that he would not be accepted by his parents.
I want to show off the power of a fox and a tiger.
"OK!"
How could Zhang Shuo not see through Tang Yu's little thoughts? With his current influence, even in front of his second uncle and second aunt, he could still say a few words.
And based on his understanding of the second uncle, the second uncle may not actually care about this.
Perhaps it was because they were stimulated by the sports car, or because they were about to graduate, and no one had a formal appearance, and completely let themselves go, Tang Yu and the other girls went crazy drinking, and even Gu Xiaoxi rarely drank a beer.
Just as they had agreed, the four girls worked together to fuck him.
Who can bear this?
Zhang Shuo was also very drunk that night, and he still had a headache when he woke up the next day.
………
Wednesday arrived in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Zhang Shuo, accompanied by Vice President Lu Qi, went to Shanghai on a business trip.
Lu Kai and Roger took the opportunity.
Although the headquarters of Daosui Semiconductor has moved from Binhai City to Jiangxia, Roger's focus in the past month has been on the Magic City.
Needless to say.
He is responsible for the reception, investigation and integration of Zhanxun.
Zhang Shuo came to Shanghai this time to attend the signing ceremony for the acquisition of Ruidike, and to pay attention to Roger's integration of Zhanxun Communications.
Because this is directly related to the success or failure of the Zhulong chip.
In my impression, the original Spacetime Blu-ray Group acquired Zhanxun and Ruidike in 2013/14, and then started the merger of Zhanxun and Ruidike in 2016.
It was not until 2018 that internal integration came to an end.
It can be said to be very unsatisfactory.
After the integration, Xinzhanrui did not form a synergy of 1 1>2. Instead, the company was stuck in the quagmire of inefficient development due to chaotic internal management and disordered process system.
During the long merger process, the two companies had to integrate internal resources while facing external competition, which was indeed a challenge to the company's management capabilities.
The direct consequence is that we missed the 4G trend.
This is very deadly.
Of course, Zhang Shuo did not allow Daosui Semiconductor to make the same mistake as the original time and space. Not only did he arrange for Roger to personally take charge of the Magic City and lead the integration work of Zhanxun, but he also accelerated the acquisition of Ruidike.
Once the acquisition is completed, the merger will start immediately.
Everything is done quickly without delay, resulting in missing new development opportunities.
Especially say.
Zhang Shuo also set a difficult task for Daosui Semiconductor - to produce Zhulong chips next year.
Time is even tighter.
With the rapid popularization of 4G networks, Zhulong chips will definitely be 4G by next year.
"You have been staying in Shanghai for more than a month. How do you feel?"
After getting off the plane and taking a short rest, Zhang Shuo called Roger into the room to discuss work.
"To be honest, there are quite a lot of problems."
Roger was also very tired this month. He almost combed through Zhan Xun from inside to outside, top to bottom, making sure to understand the real Zhan Xun.
"Judging from the problems discovered so far, within Zhanxun, various projects are complicated and confusing, and there are frequent disputes with customers. The marketing and supply chain systems are very backward, and they are all entered manually. There are even teams that pretend to be company projects with their own entrepreneurial projects, and
Collectively defrauding overtime pay, etc..."
The more Roger spoke, the darker Zhang Shuo's face became.
He predicts that there will definitely be some problems within Zhanxun, which is also a common problem in the industry.
But I didn't expect it to be so serious.
No wonder the original Spacetime Zhanrui's performance in mid-to-high-end products was weak, and 4G Full Netcom was also delayed, because at that time, the company's internal corruption was on the verge of survival.
But if Zhanrui can rise again in the future, he must have experienced a phoenix nirvana.
"So, our acquisition of Zhanxun is actually a loss-making transaction? How did the investment and M&A department conduct due diligence beforehand?" Zhang Shuo looked at Lu Kai, who was sitting opposite.
"No no no."
Roger quickly stepped forward to help, "Although there are problems like this, Zhanxun's foundation is still good. As long as we cut off some redundant projects, establish a scientific decision-making mechanism, introduce integrated product development, capability maturity model integration and test maturity
Advanced scientific management processes such as degree model integration still have great potential.”
"But what about time? Is there enough time?"
Zhang Shuo is not optimistic, "There is another problem. Since Zhanxun is like this internally, we'd better not have too high expectations for Ruidike. We also need to promote the integration of the two companies, so what's the matter?
The complexity and severity may make it more difficult than we expected."
If you want to get rid of the old disadvantages, you must carry out drastic innovations, which will inevitably touch the cake of many people.
For another example, in response to customer disputes, targeted remedial measures must be taken in a timely manner, such as holding customer apology meetings and visiting customers to regain their trust, etc.
Innovation will involve the re-establishment of the company's R&D system, the shaping of corporate culture and talent recruitment, etc. It is by no means an easy task.
"This is true."
Roger was also under great pressure.
"Can it be done?" Zhang Shuo's eyes were burning.
"To be honest, it's difficult for me alone. Mainly, I have to take care of the research and development of the baseband chip at the headquarters. It's impossible to spend all my energy on the Magic City."
Roger is honest.
He has a background in R&D. Although he has good management skills, he has only returned to China not long ago and is a newbie here. He has to face such a difficult challenge and inevitably lacks experience.
"Then the group can only send reinforcements, do you mind?" Zhang Shuo asked.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Don't mind!"
Roger shook his head, "Even Mr. Gu will have no time to spare, right?"
In order to prepare for the launch of Maili X1, everyone at Maili Group has tightened their clockwork. It is said that the schedule has specific tasks to be completed on which day.
As the president of Maili Group, Gu Mingzhang lives and eats in the company.
Either I am flying around in the air, inspecting suppliers, coordinating raw material procurement, considering store location, coordinating relations with all parties, etc. I am very busy and exhausted.
I really don’t have the energy to worry about Inaho Semiconductor’s work anymore.
"Don't bother Mr. Gu."
Zhang Shuo turned his head, looked at Lu Qi, who had been silent all this time, and said with a smile: "Excuse me, Mr. Lu, please do me a favor and personally lead a team to stay in Magic City for a while to be responsible for the merger of Zhanxun and Ruidike. How about it?"
"
"Me, me?"
Lu Qi was surprised at first, and then suddenly realized.
No wonder the big boss insists on taking him with him when he comes to Shanghai on a business trip this time. The semiconductor business is not under his control. On the surface, he wants to get familiar with the group's subordinate industries.
I am afraid that I have already planned this secretly.
Lu Qi didn't believe it. After Roger discovered Zhan Xun's problem, he never reported it to Zhang Shuo, the big boss. He had to wait until the big boss came to Shanghai in person and couldn't bear it anymore before he reported it.
"Are you having trouble?"
Zhang Shuo smiled like an old fox.
He had indeed planned it in advance.
If you want to lead the merger between Zhanxun and Redeco and complete Nirvana in the shortest time, you must have a very courageous and clear-thinking executive who is good at innovation.
Lu Qi is the best candidate.
Lu Qi from the original time and space has been the president of Qiandu for less than two years, and he has given Qiandu a completely new look, which is the best proof.
Compared to the internal complexity of Qiandu, the current merger is nothing.
"Okay, I'm done."
After thinking about it clearly, Lu Qi did not refuse. He himself was a person who wanted to accept the challenge. As long as he did a good job in completing this merger, it would be a solid achievement, and it would be enough for him to gain a foothold in the bud.
Why not do it?
"Then it's settled." Zhang Shuo admired Lu Qi's decisiveness, "I hope that in three to four months, both Zhan Xun and Ruidike can be reborn.
