Chapter 1708 Spreadtrum's Trip

East, the most famous high-tech development zone.

Spreadtrum is now in the development period. Although the company's area is not large, that is, a few small buildings plus the configuration of laboratories and factories, overall it is full of vitality, at least for now.

As one of the company's founding double-headed snakes, Chen Pin is the company's CEO and president, mainly responsible for production and sales.

Wu Datong, another founder of the company, is the chief technology officer of the company, mainly responsible for the research and development of the laboratory.

The two are friends who came out together in Silicon Valley. They have a good relationship. In addition, the division of labor is different. They have started a business together for several years. There are few conflicts and deep feelings.

During today's lunch break, the two of them were sitting together drinking coffee and talking about recent events.

International students who have been to the United States generally have a much higher acceptance of coffee than college students in the mainland, so what they drink is fresh coffee made from pure coffee beans.

This is different from Qin Yibin, people who have been to Japan prefer to drink tea.

"Did you see the article evaluating Xiao Qi published by the Guardian yesterday?" Chen Pin asked the old man while drinking coffee.

"Of course I've read it. How else can we say that Xiao Qi is a genius and we are just ordinary people?" Wu Datong said with a wry smile, "When I was his age, I was still thinking about how to write love letters to girls!"

"Me too." Chen Pin smiled, "Datong, have you noticed that Xiao Qi has a big appetite? He actually swallowed Infineon in one go!"

"Yes! If Xiao Qi brings Infineon to the Huaguo market, it will have a big impact on us." Wu Datong nodded.

No matter how confident and proud he is, he will not think that Spreadtrum, which has only been established for a few years, will be better than Siemens' semiconductor department, which has developed for decades or even hundreds of years.

Not to mention that it was Xiao Qi who bought Infineon, and the money he possessed was simply jaw-dropping, enough to support Infineon's rampage. It messed up the market.

Spreadtrum focuses on wireless baseband chips, which are all-in-one chips like MediaTek that Xiao Qi bought before, which happens to be Infineon's strength.

Infineon didn't pay much attention to the Huaguo market in the past, but if the owner becomes Xiao Qi, who has been involved in the mobile phone industry, then it may not be so.

"Can you think of a way?" Chen Pin asked him.

"Where to find a solution for a while?" Wu Datong said with a sigh: "The gap in strength is irreparable. Our Spreadtrum is still too weak in strength and has too little accumulation!"

"In this era when wireless baseband chips are severely blocked in the Western world, we are already proud of our current achievements." Chen Pin comforted him.

"I know, but I'm thinking, if we can buy Infineon, how great it would be! At that time, our Spreadtrum will definitely be able to soar several steps!" Wu Datong said full of longing, "Even if there is no Infineon, as long as our research and development funds are doubled... no. Increased by 50%, I am sure to catch up with MediaTek within three years, surpass them within five years, and win the entire Huaguo smartphone market. The low-end market!"

"How is it possible?" Chen Pin laughed dumbly, "Our largest shareholder is MediaTek. How could these Baodao guys allow us to surpass their parent company? I think the best thing for us is to gain a firm foothold in the low-end market, and then Let’s talk about other things slowly.”

"That's the only way to go!" Wu Datong said helplessly.

When they started their business. It just happened to encounter the Great Depression in the Internet age, and then also encountered 911 in the United States. Therefore, financing is very difficult, and companies such as MediaTek took advantage of it.

When it went public last year, the management’s shareholding was even an embarrassing figure of only 13%. The remaining more than 42% was in the hands of MediaTek, 26% was in the hands of some investment funds, and the rest were tradable shares.

They earned money. But the company's overall equity has been handed over to others, and it feels really uncomfortable to have to seek approval from Baodao people and those investment funds for everything.

But what can I do?

The companies created by these overseas PhD students are all private and have no government support. Being able to develop to this stage is already considered very good.

If you want to expect more success, you need more opportunities.

"Bang bang bang!!"

While the two were talking, someone knocked on the outside door suddenly, and the voice was still very urgent.

Before waiting for a "come in" answer, a man in his thirties rushed in with a face full of excitement: "Old Chen, Old Wu, come quickly! A big shot is coming!!"

"Jiang Ping, you're not young anymore, what's the need to be so excited?" Chen Pin looked at him, and said a little funny: "Which official from the development zone came again? Or which leader from the city came to save face Works?"

Jiang Ping is the head of Spreadtrum's 3G business department, and one of the overseas students who came back from the United States together, so he naturally belongs to a faction in the company.

These people basically occupy the main force of the company, and the supervisors sent by MediaTek and other shareholders occupy a very small part. However, outside of normal operations, these supervisors have a large role. right of suspension.

Jiang Ping's face was flushed with excitement: "No, it's not them! It's my idol! My idol is here!"

"Your idol?" Wu Datong also smiled this time, "Did Dehua come to our company?"

"It's not Dehua, it's more powerful than him!" Jiang Ping almost roared: "Xiao Qi! Xiao Qi from Fairy Company is here! He's at the reception outside, why don't you go!?"

"Uh!?"

Chen Pin and Wu Datong stood up immediately, "Aren't you dreaming? Xiao Qi? Didn't you pretend to be someone?"

"How could it be an impersonation?" Jiang Ping smiled, "Go and see and you will know, Xiao Qi can be impersonated by others?"

"Go! Go and see!"

Wu Datong grabbed the suit jacket that was put aside, and ran out in a hurry.

The two just talked about Xiao Qi. Although Wu Datong is technical, he is not an idiot.

For someone as big as Xiao Qi, it is definitely not for nothing that he came to Spreadtrum, maybe it was a chance for Spreadtrum!

Chen Pin thought the same as him, so excitedly followed Jiang Ping to the reception on the first floor.

When they arrived, they happened to see a young man standing up and looking at them calmly.

It’s not that the seven or eight bodyguards standing at the door and corners reveal Xiao Qi’s aura of wealth, or that the young man’s clothes are all world-class workmanship, but Chen Pin and Wu Datong just looked at Xiao Qi’s gentle and confident expression. Just by looking at her eyes, she knew that it was impossible for anyone to impersonate her.

Because young people around the age of 20 are all students, it is impossible to have such a big aura, let alone face strangers so calmly.

The so-called newborn calf is not afraid of tigers and has no stage fright. In fact, it depends on the person, especially when in contact with strange people in an unfamiliar environment, young people often show timidity.

"Qi Shao, this is our President Chen, and this is our President Wu." Jiang Ping stepped forward and introduced them.

"Mr. Chen Pin, Mr. Wu Datong." Xiao Qi laughed and stretched out his hand: "I am Xiao Qi, very happy to meet you two."

"Qi Shao, we are lucky to meet!" Chen Pin and Wu Datong hurriedly stretched out their hands, holding each other tightly with Xiao Qi, "You are the idol of our global Chinese!"

"The two of you have returned from studying abroad, and you can share your strength for the country and the people. This is what Xiao Qi admires." Xiao Qi smiled and motioned for them to sit down beside him.

This is not Fairy Company, but Xiao Qi seems to be the master.

However, Chen Pin and Wu Datong didn't feel that there was anything wrong, and instead sat down with a little honor.

"Back in China, many things are not so satisfactory, right?" Xiao Qi opened his mouth and asked.

"hehe!"

Wu Datong smiled and didn't reply. He was not afraid that Xiao Qi would spread his complaints. Xiao Qi's character is still trustworthy, but he never likes to complain.

But Chen Pin was not like this anymore. He sighed and said, "Who said it wasn't? Qi Shao, how difficult it was for us to come all the way! Back in China, there is no preferential policy at all, and the external environment is very bad , Several times we thought that Spreadtrum was going to collapse. In order to keep Spreadtrum alive, we gave up a lot, so that many decision-making powers of Spreadtrum are no longer in our hands. It is almost impossible to develop as we wish, Tell me, does this feel good?"

Wu Datong and Jiang Ping twitched their eyebrows, and couldn't help but glance at Chen Pin.

Being able to become the president and CEO, Chen Pin is definitely not a person who can't hide his words, but he vomited bitterness to Xiao Qi as soon as he came up, and almost confessed everything. Such a situation is not suitable for Chen Pin's usual style!

Xiao Qi nodded calmly: "This feeling is not good."

Seeing that Xiao Qi didn't have any expression, Chen Pin smiled embarrassingly: "But it's useless for me to tell you this. You have been helped by God along the way, so naturally you won't feel this."

Xiao Qi couldn't help laughing: "Mr. Chen, do you know why my first real smart product is not a mobile phone?"

"I would also like to ask Mr. Qi to advise me." Chen Pin said without knowing it.

"Because the Fairy Company I founded when I was 18 years old started out as a cottage machine. It was doing well, but there was an incident of government-business collusion in our small city, which forced me to sell it. The entire factory and rights and interests, so we can only start from scratch, starting from the tablet computer." Xiao Qi said calmly: "You are still close to the end of the mountain, but I have nowhere to go. Then you think that your state of mind at this time can Does it compare with mine at the time?"
