Chapter 254: Betting

At noon the next day, Chen Changliu, Ke Meng, Feng Xiao, and Huang Zhang appeared at the airport pick-up gate together.

When Peter Li appeared, Chen Changliu greeted him with a smile.

"Haha, buddy, long time no see, how have you been these days?"

"Chen, it's been a long time since we last met. You don't know how I've been spending the past month, traveling to various countries. It's really hard to make money for you! Look, I've gotten a lot tanned!"

After saying that, the two hugged generously before parting.

Chen Changliu introduced Peter Li:

"Peter, this is Feng Xiao, the vice president of our company, this is Huang Zhang, the general manager of the mobile phone division, and the person you will have the most contact with in your future work, and this is my assistant Ke Meng."

Peter Li responded politely to each person he introduced. Although Ke Meng's beauty also made him shine, he was much calmer after knowing that she was Chen Changliu's assistant.

"This Peter Li is the consultant of the African branch of Meizu Mobile Phone that I specially invited. When we enter the African market and establish the African branch, he will help us deal with some preliminary contacts in various aspects."

This is the first time that Chen Changliu told several people about the existence of Peter Li, which made Feng Xiao and Huang Zhang, who were having a headache about where to start to establish the African branch, feel relieved. With the help of local people, it will definitely be twice the result with half the effort.

Chen Changliu arranged for Huang Zhang to send Peter Li to the hotel. Peter Li can communicate in Mandarin, but Chen Changliu is not worried about their communication.

For three consecutive days, the senior management of Zhonghuajia started intensive meetings, and the African branch of Meizu Mobile Phone was officially launched.

Zhonghuajia Technology Co., Ltd. This machine is running fast, and everyone has their own duties.

At the senior management meeting, Chen Changliu put forward his ideas and received high recognition from Peter Li. The next step is to enter the design stage.

Yes, it is the design stage. There is no research and development, but it cannot be said that there is no research and development. The only thing that needs to be developed by ourselves is the dual-card mode.

However, standing on the shoulders of others, it is not difficult, and Chen Changliu is too lazy to worry about patent issues now, after all, his ultimate goal is dual SIM dual standby.

So there is really no threshold for feature phones now, and the wafer is the top priority.

And MediaTek's turnkey solution wafer is the core.

The "turnkey" solution launched by MediaTek integrates the operating system, baseband, multimedia, etc. into the wafer.

In other words, only one wafer is needed, and the original hundreds of links are directly reduced to two links: procurement and assembly.

As long as the turnkey solution wafer is handled, the production of mobile phones only needs to add the shell and battery, and there will be basically no problem.

On August 10, Chen Changliu, Ke Meng, Zhou Liming, and Wu Bo flew to Taiwan and went directly to the door.

In fact, the current MediaTek is not very ideal. In 2002 and 2003, the company ranked 5th and 6th in the industry respectively, but this year it is estimated to drop to 7th.

The biggest problem facing MediaTek is the single product. MediaTek's current leading products are wafers for PC optical drives and consumer DVDs, which account for more than 30% of the global market.

In 2003, more than 99% of MediaTek's sales revenue came from this market.

This year, the slowdown in the growth of the PC and DVD markets and the fierce price competition, coupled with the exchange rate issue, have directly dragged down MediaTek's performance.

In order to get rid of its dependence on a single product, MediaTek has set its sights on the mobile phone and digital TV fields, and launched turnkey mobile phone wafers in the second half of 2003. It can be said that it is now entering the final verification stage.

MediaTek founder Cai Mingjian sat in his office, looking at the financial statements and worrying about it. This performance is not very good.

He put down the report, leaned back in the chair and rubbed his temples. After a while, the fatigue on his face was swept away, replaced by confidence.

Because he believes that the company's mobile phone wafer solution, which is entering the final verification stage, is absolutely competitive. As long as it can gain a foothold in the market, MediaTek can transform and enter the broader mobile phone market.

At this time, the secretary came in.

"Chairman, Mr. Chen from China's Zhonghuajia Technology Co., Ltd. wants to visit you? He said he wants to discuss business with us. Do you want to make an appointment for him?"

Cai Mingjian seemed familiar when he heard this, but he really didn't know him. He waved his hand and said:

"You can ask the marketing department to meet him. Just say I'm not here and the schedule is arranged."

The secretary nodded and replied: "Okay, Chairman."

When the secretary walked to the door of the office, Cai Mingjian seemed to remember something and suddenly called out:

"Wait, which company in the mainland did you say he is from?"

The secretary asked in confusion: "Zhonghuajia Technology Co., Ltd., according to them, their company produces MP3 and batteries."

Cai Mingjian recalled and finally remembered that he had said to a friend who had just returned from the mainland some time ago when he was having dinner. A 20-year-old self-made monster emerged from the mainland. He built a technology company into a company with an annual revenue of 1 billion yuan in his freshman year. At that time, he was very impressed.

But the businesses of the two companies are not related. Could it be that he wants the company to help him produce MP3 chips? But the market size of MP3 chips is not large enough.

Whatever, it's nice to meet this overly young guy.

"Tell him I have half an hour this afternoon, if he wants to come, he can come."

The secretary nodded and went out. Cai Mingjian's words actually showed that their generation didn't look down on people and things on the mainland. Although Chen Changliu was a young demon, meeting him once was already a great honor.

When Chen Changliu and his group got the feedback, everyone seemed unusually calm. It wasn't that they were not angry, but they had already had a premonition in advance.

In this era, as long as they were from Hong Kong and Taiwan, they would always appear superior to people from the mainland.

Chen Changliu's eyes flashed. Before he was reborn in his previous life, no one took Taiwan seriously. Now that he got such an attitude, it would be a lie to say that he was not angry, but being angry would not help.

Only when you become strong can you ignore the faces of these people.

The next afternoon, at the agreed time, Chen Changliu followed the secretary into the MediaTek headquarters. It turned out that he was not comparable to the flower-growing family. The foundation was too small.

When Chen Changliu saw Cai Mingjian, the first impression he gave him was that he was a scholar with glasses and honest manners.

Although Cai Mingjian was prepared, he was still a little surprised when the overly young Chen Changliu appeared in front of him.

"Haha, Mr. Chen, you are indeed young and promising. We old guys can't compare."

The planner smiled slightly, shook hands with Cai Mingjian politely and said:

"Mr. Cai, you are too polite. I know how much I am capable. I just rely on good luck."

"Haha, the young man is very humble. Come and sit down. I wonder what you want to see me about this time? I heard from the secretary that you have business to discuss with our MediaTek, but as far as I know, Mr. Chen's company's business has nothing to do with our company."

After the two sat down, the secretary also poured a glass of water, and Chen Changliu nodded to thank him.

Chen Changliu kept smiling and said:

"Mr. Cai, there was no such thing before, but it doesn't mean there will be no such thing in the future. I can make your company's mobile phone wafers sell 10 million pieces within a year, and we can sign a bet agreement."
