By the time Xiao Bai came to Times Communication, it was almost eleven o'clock in the morning."
Dong Xiao, why don't we go around the various departments of the company first, wait for lunch at noon, and then go to the factory in the afternoon, what do you see?"
Qi Yuefeng picked up Xiao Bai and his party downstairs."
There's no hurry to eat, let's go straight to the factory.Lunch was eaten in the factory canteen, and it was not so particular. ”Xiao Bai shook his head, and then came to Times Communication's RF module factory with Qi Yuefeng.Some of the products of Times Communications are handed over to BOD electronic foundry, such as walkie-talkies, cordless phones, etc.The RF module company has its own factory, and there is also an electronic component factory in Modu, which produces a series of products including filters."
Mr.
Xiao, we are currently working with Times Science and Technology Research Institute and AUO Microelectronics to develop baseband chips.In our current mobile phone system solutions, the baseband chip is a product of Intel, and we will use our own baseband chip in the future. ”Qi Yuefeng accompanied Xiao Bai around the factory, and the RF module of Times Communication has been adopted by many manufacturers, including many internationally renowned companies.While manufacturing RF modules, Times Communications has also increased investment in mobile phone technology, and the company has launched the third version of the GSM mobile phone system solution.Thanks to the technical support of Times Technology Research Institute and AUO Microelectronics, Times Communications has established a special organization for the research and development of communication chips, including RF chips, baseband chips, etc."
Mr.
Qi, when will your system-wide solution be fully matured?
I mean bring it to market and take a certain market share?
”Xiao Bai then came to the factory's staff canteen with Qi Yuefeng for dinner, and during the meal, he asked the other party a very key question."
Let's turn the page over the year, and we will release the public version of the whole system solution after New Year's Day.Xiao Dong, do you want to take a lunch break later?
”The two chatted while eating, and Qi Yuefeng was ready to arrange for Xiao Bai to take a nap."
No need, Mr.
Qi, Times Communications is currently developing very well, I hope you can keep it up."
Xiao Bai had dinner and came to the other party's office with Qi Yuefeng.Xiao Bai is very satisfied with the development status of Times Communications.Times Communications is not so eye-catching among the enterprises of the times, but under the leadership of Qi Yuefeng and others, the company has made steady progress and achieved new breakthroughs in revenue and profit.Last year's (1999) year-end accounts report showed that the main business income of Times Communications was 1,238.7 billion yuan, and the net profit was 263.9 billion yuan, achieving rapid growth for many years.At present, RF modules account for more than 40% of the business of Times Communication, and the communication business is developing rapidly.In addition, the company's electronic components factory, revenue and profit growth momentum is also very rapid, mainly due to the continuous increase in sales of filters and other products.According to Qi Yuefeng's estimate, the company's financial data will also be very good this year, and its revenue is expected to exceed 18 billion yuan.Xiao Bai stayed in Qi Yuefeng's office until he went to work in the afternoon, and then went to inspect various departments of the company before he left.Before leaving, Xiao Bai once again expressed his concern about the company's mobile phone system solution, hoping to bring it to the market as soon as possible.After returning to the headquarters building, Xiao Bai went directly to the Times Science and Technology Research Institute."
Dong Xiao, come to inspect the work?
I'll take you around?
”Zhou Siyi was talking to someone in the office, and when he saw Xiao Bai, he hurriedly sent his subordinates out."
What do you have to see here?
Wouldn't it be the end of the progress of the research projects with you?
Dean Zhou, I came to you for something I want to ask you, do you think it is possible for us to acquire a company with more advanced technology to make baseband chips?
”Xiao Bai knows very well that the companies under the Times Department do not have much technical accumulation in baseband chips and one piece.If you follow the plan, you can miss out on a lot of opportunities.If possible, he wondered, it would be better to buy a ready-made business."
Xiao Dong, I'm afraid this is difficult.The technology of baseband chips is very tightly blocked by major Western countries, and the acquisition of this road will not work.However, it is possible to cooperate with European companies in this field, for example, our research institute in Europe has been working with companies such as Alcatel. ”Zhou Siyi explained to Xiao Bai that it will definitely not work to directly acquire companies in the field of baseband chips or introduce technology.But it can take a detour, and it can carry out technical cooperation with individual enterprises in Europe to jointly develop baseband chips."
You're right, it's up to us in the end.Dean Zhou, you should worry more about this matter, the baseband chip is very important for the company's development strategy, and we must do it. ”Xiao Bai is not afraid to spend money on research and development, as long as there are results, he will spend how he wants."
Xiao Dong, I think it's not a big problem to break through the technical limitations.In terms of time, it will take two years at most. ”Zhou Siyi didn't dare to brag, and his words were more conservative.According to his estimation, it should be about the same time in another year or so.Xiao Bai nodded, didn't say much, and then left the Times Science and Technology Research Institute and returned to his office.Half a month later.Xiao Bai held the first meeting of the decision-making committee to review the development plans submitted by the companies.The meeting lasted a whole day, but Xiao Bai rarely spoke, and let the other committee members speak freely.The original intention of setting up these committees was not only to relieve some work pressure for themselves, but also to temper the decision-making ability of these committee members.Facts have proved that Xu Changqing, An Ran and others have matured, and there is no problem with the overall situation and judgment of specific affairs.After this meeting, Xiao Bai planned to go to North America.During his absence, the decision-making power of the Times Department was transferred to the decision-making committee, and his agent Mu Ziyuan would temporarily replace some of his powers in the committee."
Ah Bai, do you want to go to North America?
Well, I took a leave of absence for more than a month last time, so it's not good to take a leave of absence again this time.You go and see Lingling, I won't go this time. ”On the weekend, Xiao Bai and Tian Chunxiu met in Xiangjiang.Xiao Bai said that he planned to go to San Francisco for New Year's Day, but Tian Chunxiu thought about it for a long time and always felt embarrassed to ask for leave."
That's okay, I won't be able to stay there for long, I'll be back in about half a month."
Xiao Bai didn't go to North America just to visit Liu Xiaoling, on the one hand, he needed to inspect the operation of Chenfeng Capital, and on the other hand, he wanted to go to the research institute in Silicon Valley.Also, he needed to go to New York."
Well, go ahead, I happen to be quite busy during this time."
Tian Chunxiu smiled and nodded, to be honest, her work has not been easy recently.At present, Lizhu Pharmaceutical is facing pressure from many aspects, among which in the area of APIs, Liansheng Pharmaceutical has once again become a strong competitor of Lizhu Pharmaceutical.Tian Chunxiu and Cai Meiling are not only good girlfriends, but also competitors in the shopping mall, and it is not easy for the two to distinguish between business and private affairs very clearly.For two days on the weekend, Xiao Bai and Tian Chunxiu have been staying in the villa on the top of the mountain.It's not that Xiao Bai wants to go abroad for a period of time, and the two are inseparable, but Tian Chunxiu is almost working remotely through the phone and the Internet.On Monday morning, Tian Chunxiu rushed back to ZH.Xiao Bai came to Yingsheng Investment's office, called Cui Mingda in, and asked about the trend of the NASDAQ stock index and the stock price of CSCO.Cui told him that the Nasdaq is still sluggish, and that CSCO's stock price has fallen above $20, and a fall below $20 is almost a foregone conclusion."
Lao Cui, still according to our original plan, as long as the stock price of CSCO falls below $15, we can buy it in the range of $11 and $15."
Stocks sold at a high price will eventually be bought.The spread represents a profit or a loss.Xiao Bai sold CSCO at a very high price, with an average price of $6,732.Now that CSCO's stock price has fallen to around $20, he doesn't have a loss, just a profit.In addition, he still has a small number of CSCO put warrants in his hand, which also has a lot of gains.Xiao Bai then gave Cui Mingda a few words and left the office.Jiang Youwei is not in the company today, and Xiao Bai has already transferred some of his power to the decision-making committee, and as a member of the committee, he needs to stay in Shencheng often.Afternoon.Xiao Bai came to Xiangjiang Airport, and he took He Changfeng, Wen Qin and others on his private plane and flew to San Francisco.Now follow him at any time, in addition to Wen Qin and Yang Yan.The affairs of the company were handed over to other secretaries, and Yang Yan became Wenqin's deputy because of her outstanding work performance.Wen Qin is Xiao Bai's assistant, and Yang Yan is Xiao Bai's full-time secretary.More than ten hours of boring flight, for Xiao Bai to pass the time very well.He read a lot of documents on the plane, slept a little, and arrived in San Francisco before he knew it."
Brother Xiao!"
Liu Xiaoling was very happy to see Xiao Bai, she and Liu Yixiong went to the airport to pick up Xiao Bai, and they were so happy that they didn't know what to say."
Xiaoling, Mr.
Liu, hello!
Let's go, get in the car first, and talk about what to do when we get back. ”Xiao Bai smiled and shook Liu Yixiong's hand, gently patted Liu Xiaoling's shoulder, and then the group left the airport in several cars."
Dong Xiao, I'll send you back to rest first, and I'll report to you tomorrow."
Liu Yixiong knew that it was very hard for Xiao Bai to fly from Xiangjiang, so he planned to send Xiao Bai directly to his residence.Xiao Bai groaned for a moment, then glanced at Liu Xiaoling.Liu Xiaoling nodded slightly, and then he said, "Okay, I'll pour the jet lag first today, and I'll talk about it tomorrow." ”Liu Yixiong sent Xiao Bai and others to the door of his home, leaving behind two cars and drivers, and he said goodbye and left.
