In the office, the lights in the office area in the lobby have been turned off.
At this time, the lights in Chu Tianyao's office were still on.
"How on earth should we go?"
In front of the desk, Chu Tianyao held a pen in his hand and kept writing and drawing on the paper. Finally, he crumpled the paper in front of him into a ball and threw it into the trash can.
Finding a way to get the agency rights for Ericsson mobile phones will undoubtedly allow Chu Tianyao to make another huge sum of money.
But when it comes to ways to make money, Chu Tianyao definitely has more than just this one in mind.
What he was hesitating about at the moment was a piece of news that had just appeared in the newspaper this afternoon.
Internal conflicts broke out at Lenovo Group, and Ni Guangnan was dismissed as chief engineer.
As soon as the news came out, it can be said that it caused a lot of heated discussion in the domestic business and scientific research circles.
Who is Ni Guangnan? This is Taishan Beidou, later known as the father of Chinese chips. He gave up his high salary abroad and resolutely decided to develop Chinese chips.
Now, it has completely withdrawn from the stage of Lenovo.
The news came several months earlier than Chu Tianyao expected, which is enough to show how far the conflicts within Lenovo have intensified.
"It's an excellent opportunity right now, but the risks in the future on this road are not small..."
Chu Tianyao tapped his fingers on the table, and his black eyebrows wrinkled slightly.
Even Liu Chuanzhi didn't dare to take a path. With Chu Tianyao's current strength and background, he didn't even reach the threshold.
But now that Ni Guangnan has withdrawn from Lenovo, and Liu Chuanzhi has completely given up chip research and development and moved towards trade, industry and technology, it is a rare opportunity for Chu Tianyao.
The dispute between Liu Ni has been rumored for a long time and is no longer a secret in the industry.
But no one expected that this day would come so quickly.
Liu Chuanzhi visited the thatched cottage and invited Ni Guangnan to Lenovo. It was thanks to the Lenovo Hanka developed by Ni Guangnan that Lenovo gained a firm foothold in the market.
But now, the two have become mortal enemies.
In order to get Ni Guangnan to withdraw from Lenovo, Liu Chuanzhi spent a lot of effort, and even had many connections with the Chinese Academy of Sciences and submitted several letters of opinion.
In fact, the biggest conflict between the two people, who have been working together for nearly ten years, is simply the development direction of the company.
In the 1990s, although there was a technological gap between China and foreign countries in the field of chips, to put it bluntly, the gap was not that big.
Many people in later generations have imagined more than once that if Lenovo had really followed the technology, industry and trade route led by Ni Guangnan and devoted itself to the research and development of chips, would it have completely rewritten the history of China as a weak chip country?
Many people have no answer in their minds, and precisely because of this, this matter has become one of the biggest regrets in the history of China in the 1990s.
After resurrecting his life, he happened to encounter the dispute between Liu and Ni. It is impossible to say that Chu Tianyao did not have this intention.
However, engaging in chip research and development is not something that ordinary people can afford. At least for Xingyao Technology at this stage, it is a big burden.
It’s not just a matter of money, but the products produced by Shining Technology cannot use self-developed chips at all.
"But if I just give up like this, I probably won't be willing to do it!"
The sound of fingers tapping on the table suddenly stopped, and Chu Tianyao suddenly laughed to himself.
"If I don't do this, reviving my life would be too unchallenging."
The corners of his mouth curved, and a look of determination flashed in Chu Tianyao's eyes, as if he had made some decision.
Swish swish!
I could only hear Chu Tianyao writing something on the paper.
Ericsson...Waveguide.
Xu Lihua...Ni Guangnan.
Chip design center...TSMC.
Chu Tianyao wrote names one by one on the paper, and finally connected these names together with a series of symbols.
"Money! I need money now!"
When the last stroke came down, Chu Tianyao's expression became more and more excited, but he couldn't help but murmur to himself.
Yes, he is short of money!
Researching and developing chips is a costly project, otherwise Liu Chuanzhi would not be in a hurry to kick Ni Guangnan out of Lenovo Group.
In addition, it is not just chip research and development.
When he first decided to create Xingyao Technology, Chu Tianyao had already foreseen that this day would come, so making real technological products is also one of Xingyao Technology's future goals.
But the most urgent thing is to make money first.
Although Ni Guangnan was dismissed from his position as Lenovo's chief engineer, he has not completely withdrawn from Lenovo Group.
If Chu Tianyao remembered correctly, it would still be a few years before Ni Guangnan was fired and actually left Lenovo.
"We have to eat one bite at a time. The first thing we need to solve is the exclusive agency rights of Ericsson. As long as we can get this, we can make a lot of money."
Chu Tianyao thought about it, then pulled out another piece of paper and began to write down the first phase of his plan.
…
April 1st.
Guangdong Province, Yangcheng.
Under an office building in the city center, a black car slowly stopped.
Having just returned from a business trip to Shenzhen City, Martin didn't seem so happy.
All the way back to the company office, Martin took off his tie and cursed in his native dialect in front of his Chinese secretary.
"The entire postal and telecommunications supply and marketing channels have been given to Motorola, what else can we rely on to open up the Chinese market?"
Martin picked up the whiskey on the table, poured himself a glass, raised his head and took a sip.
"I shouldn't have come here in the first place, and I don't know what the people at the head office think. With my ability, shouldn't I join the board of directors of the head office?"
Martin's complaint made the female secretary beside him afraid to talk to him.
After venting his anger, Martin sat back on the sofa and waved to the female secretary in front of him.
The female secretary understood, and quickly walked up behind Martin with a smile, stretched out a pair of white fingers, and pinched Martin's shoulders.
"Mr. Martin, we have an old saying in China that the ship will straighten out when it reaches the bridge. Just relax, maybe our mobile phone will perform well in the market this time!"
The female secretary said with a smile.
Martin's Chinese is not bad, so he understood what the female secretary said.
But he didn't have much hope for this.
"do you know?
As early as three months ago, ours was just a listed office. Those people upgraded this place to a branch just to trap me... They had long known that the Chinese market had been occupied by Motorola, and they sent me
When I came to China, I made it clear that I didn't want to go back."
Martin took another sip of whiskey and cursed: "Those guys in Sweden are just afraid that I will threaten their position."
Facing Martin's words, the female secretary did not dare to say anything, but just took a few documents from the side.
"Mr. Martin, this is an agency letter of intent sent to us by several companies. Although we cannot obtain the supply and sales channels of the postal and telecommunications system, we may not necessarily fail if we rely on traditional market sales."
After receiving the document handed over by the female secretary, Martin could only cheer up and look through it casually.
Those who sent letters of intent to the company were several relatively powerful dealers in Guangdong Province. Naturally, what they wanted was Ericsson's agency rights in Guangdong Province.
Obviously, Chu Tianyao was not the only one who saw the potential of Ericsson.
However, although there were dealers willing to represent him, Martin was not very happy.
Because the strength of these dealers can only be considered medium, in his opinion, they are not enough to support the entire Guangdong market.
What's more, his target is not just Guangdong Province.
"Let them wait for now, I'll think about it."
He wanted to refuse directly, but there was no suitable dealer to choose at the moment. Martin threw the documents on the table and said to the female secretary next to him.
While he was talking, his eyes fell on a newspaper on the table.
The large bold characters in Black Home make the title particularly eye-catching.
Regarding the major changes in the domestic communications industry, the era of digital mobile phones has arrived!
Just this title made Martin's eyes change, and even the little bit of alcohol evaporated in an instant.
