Chapter 2842 A Rare Opportunity
People at his home were overjoyed to learn that Feng Yiping was going home early. When he, Xiao Zhijie, and Wang Changning returned home with empty hands, they saw a large number of people warmly welcoming him home.
He was a little unaccustomed to this enthusiasm. After all, he was returning to his own home.
"Happy New Year, happy New Year," he had to shake hands with these people like the inspection leaders. When he met an acquaintance, he would say a few words and greet the elderly and children in the other person's family.
By the way, he also introduced two of his classmates to everyone, "My classmate is the co-founder of Tongcheng.com,"
But what some people who came to visit his home liked most was not shaking hands with him, but taking photos with him.
At the beginning, Feng Yiping also put photos with some people in the office to save face. Now the trend has changed to others taking photos with him to save face.
Such a change actually only happened in a few short years. When Feng Yiping thought of this, he felt that his growth was really fast.
And how quickly I accepted such a huge change was like how people in the village now take helicopters for granted.
You know, he remembers very clearly that when he was a child, when he saw planes flying in the sky, people would run to the mountains to watch.
It has only been a few years ago, but now, helicopters are considered commonplace among ordinary people - at least many people have ridden in them.
But fortunately these are all good things.
However, Feng Yiping, who is usually very cooperative with everyone's requests, is in a hurry today. "Sorry, I want to tell my parents something first. Wenhua, Wencai, come out and say hello,"
Feng Zhenchang, who was standing aside with his mobile phone, came over and asked, "You said you won't celebrate the New Year at home?"
His tone was still not kind, and even a bit accusatory, but his eyes showed clear concern and deeply hidden sadness.
Feng Yiping knew that it was impossible to expect his father to apologize. He would not even say a soft word between father and son.
Mei Qiuping was also concerned about this issue, but at this time she did not forget to greet Xiao Zhijie and Wang Changning, "Come back."
After that, there was a series of greetings. My parents, wife, and children were all working fine. The difference from the past was that they would not be asked within tens of seconds, "How much money did you make this year?"
At the end, he said politely, "Yiping has troubled you two again,"
Feng Yiping was already pushing his father upstairs, "I can't celebrate the New Year at home this year. I have to leave soon. I want to fly to Germany as soon as possible."
Looking at the gray hair on his father's head, even though he felt that his parents' excessive concern for all aspects of him had brought tremendous pressure and sometimes made him a little annoyed, at this time he consciously softened and said, "Of course it's not because I'm with you. Quarrel, you are right, I did not do well,"
Feng Zhenchang actually didn't care about this at this moment, "Do you have to go in person?"
"I have to go there myself," Feng Yiping said to his parents and two best classmates who had already entered the room. "This opportunity is rare and it is of great importance."
"What the big deal is, you didn't make it clear on the phone just now," Mei Qiuping was still a little worried that her son didn't want to celebrate the New Year at home because he was angry.
"A German memory company, which is also the world's most powerful memory company, is about to declare bankruptcy, so it very much hopes that we will invest," Feng Yiping said.
Seeing that his parents were a little confused, he explained, "This thing has a very high technical content and no domestic manufacturer can produce it independently."
"But the demand is huge. Computers at home, smartphones equipped with our R&D system, including some of the products we are developing, all need to be used. This volume will continue to grow,"
Xiao Zhijie couldn't help but give a high-five at this time, "Memory company, this is indeed a good opportunity!"
He didn't have much experience with this stuff at first, but didn't he accompany Rubin to the Huaqiangbei Electronics Market for a few days? From then on, he had some understanding of two things, memory and hard drives, whose prices fluctuated.
The chips we are talking about now are actually integrated circuits, that is, ICs. They mainly refer to digital chips, which generally include three categories. One category refers to microcomponents, represented by CPUs; the other category is logic ICs, such as mobile phone basebands (for flashing machines). Students should have heard of this thing); the third type is memory.
Wang Changning also became excited, "This is the direction you said you wanted to work hard, right? Haha, memory chips!"
He and Xiao Zhijie also know that the number of chips we import has been rising rapidly in recent years, and at least 30% of these chips are memory chips.
"It's just," he asked with some worry, "can they allow us to acquire it?"
He knows that Feng Yiping has acquired ARM in the UK and is currently going through the process, but to put it bluntly, ARM is mainly just designing and not involved in production, and anyone can buy his design.
What's more, they all know that the United States and the United Kingdom have a special relationship. To put it bluntly, the United States can exert a very large influence on the United Kingdom. On the other hand, ARM relies on the development of smartphones equipped with Android and so on. To put it bluntly, Feng There is something about Yiping that ARM is afraid of.
But Germany is different from the UK.
Germany and France are the real backbone of Europe. At least most of the time, they can stand upright in front of the United States - even if it is a little reluctant.
Feng Yiping wants to use the United States to exert influence again, but he may not be as successful as the United Kingdom.
"They welcome our investment," Feng Yiping said, "but what I want is acquisition,"
Such a rare good time, only investment? Are you kidding!
"Now, this is not difficult, not to mention the government, even its parent company does not want to manage it, just eager to sell all its shares,"
Xiao Zhijie frowned and thought for a long time, then said, "Is it Qimonda?"
He had been thinking about it just now, but all he thought of were Japanese and Korean brands, Germany's Qimonda, which sounds unscientific, like a manufacturer of children's toy brands, and he just thought of it.
"Yes, it is Qimonda, the only chip company in Europe with a complete industrial chain, and the world's largest memory company,"
Xiao Zhijie and Wang Changning both stood up, "This is good, this is good,"
"By acquiring it, we finally don't have to be strangled by those Korean companies," Wang Changning said.
"When we build a large factory in China, we don't have to always passively accept price increases," Xiao Zhijie said.
Feng Yiping nodded, "They already have a packaging plant in China,"
"Acquire it, and it would be best if we also build a manufacturing plant, hehe," Xiao Zhijie said with a smile.
As expected of people from the same place as Feng Yiping, they all hope to make money from the entire industrial chain.
Feng Yiping actually thought so too. To expand this area, he really needs his own manufacturing plant. Those foundries across the strait are sometimes not very reliable.
"I think so too," he also thought that it would be best if these factories could be built in Wuli'ao.
Because this is not a small project, it must be worth at least hundreds of billions.
Feng Zhenchang, who had been listening, asked at this time, "Since this is so good, why did this company go bankrupt?"
Feng Yiping glanced at his father. He didn't expect that his father was quite understanding.
But if the leaders of Qimonda heard this at this time, they would be angry to death.
"This is a long story. Their high costs are a major reason. If you have been abroad, you will know that their workers' wages are too high. Therefore, for some products, we can make money in China, but they will definitely lose money,"
"Another reason is also due to the impact of the financial crisis. Now many companies are having a hard time,"
In fact, the main reason is not these, but it is inevitable to explain to his parents. His focus is to let his parents know that he went to Germany at this time not because he didn't want to spend the Spring Festival at home.
After listening to her husband's words, Mei Qiuping forgot that Xiao Zhijie and Wang Changning were also there. "There are not many people doing the same business as Yiping, but how many of those people do it as well as Yiping,"
"Yes, as long as Yiping wants to do it, he will definitely do it well," Xiao Zhijie hurriedly joined in.
Mei Qiuping, who reacted, was a little embarrassed. It was the first time for her to praise her son in front of his friends.
"You have to have lunch. I have to prepare something for you. You have to spend the Spring Festival in Germany, right? You are already 28," she muttered.
"It's okay, the pig's trotters there are delicious," Feng Yiping comforted his mother.
My mother was always worried that she wouldn't eat well.
Feng Zhenchang said, "It's so troublesome to bring food abroad. I think the most important thing is that you should take Jingping and the children with you."
He glanced at his son who was about to speak, "I'll call Lao Huang now,"
