Rebirth 2010: I taught Mr. Lei how to make a mobile phone

Chapter 248: Acting is reckless with brains, while being reckless is acting without brains!
Zhang Rujing laughed, "What will you do if I don't agree?"

Lei Jun took out the relevant materials from the file bag and said, "To be honest with you, Mr. Zhang, before I came here, Xiao Mo and I established Mi'an Xinsheng Integrated Circuit Manufacturing Co., Ltd. In the early stage, Xiaomi and Bi'an each invested 5 million as the initial capital.

Just like you said before, someone has to do the work. After listening to your story, we are more convinced of what we already believed. "

"Oh? What are you talking about?"

"Don't care about life and death!" Lei Jun said, raising his fist and raising his eyebrows at Chen Mo.

Chen Mo smiled and stretched out his fist, bumping it with his fist, "Just do it!"

After communicating with the two friends for some time, Zhang Rujing found that one of them was steady and calm, and acted after careful consideration, while the other was active in thinking and eager to make progress.

This scene between the two of them made Zhang Rujing look a little dazed.
"Rujing, your name has the word 'Jing' in it. If you don't build a factory in the mainland, where else do you want to go?"

"But Brother Jiang, I'm afraid I may fail to live up to your trust~"

"What are you afraid of? Just keep going forward. I'm here with you. Don't worry about it. Just do it!"

The sadness on Zhang Rujing's face flashed away, and he said with relief,
"Well, I'll leave you the contact information of two people. One of them, I left SMIC not long ago, and I heard that he and his R&D team also left one after another. The other one was my former deputy and he is very capable.

I'm just saying hello, you can ask these two people for help, with them, at least there shouldn't be any problems with the early stage research and development."

As he spoke, Zhang Rujing wrote down the contact information of the two people.

"Due to the non-competition clause, I can't help you. So let's make a one-year agreement. If your Mi'an Xinsheng develops well after one year and you don't mind me, an old man, causing trouble, I will work for you."

"Are you serious?" Lei Jun and Chen Mo stood up suddenly.

Zhang Rujing smiled helplessly, "I'm over 60 years old, how can I still deceive you two youngsters?"

Next, Lei and Chen each acted on two fronts, each responsible for one target. With Zhang Rujing acting as a matchmaker and threading the needle, everything went smoothly.

At the end of December, Mi'an Xinsheng welcomed their first batch of employees, which consisted of about 12 people.

As the two bosses of the company, Lei Jun and Chen Mo met with all employees on the first day.

In front of me were a group of "new" classmates with an average age of around 50. Each of them was either an expert in the chip field or a PhD.

Originally, Lei Jun's age limit was the upper limit at Xiaomi, but when he arrived at Mi'an, he found himself as the younger brother.

Then the two of them said a few opening remarks, with only one theme, that is, to give the best salary, to give money if you want money, and to give money if you want people and equipment.
Chen Mo followed Zhang Rujing's example and rented employee dormitories nearby. He also contacted nearby schools, hospitals, and living places. All welfare benefits were provided in one go to prevent the work of technical personnel from being affected by trivial matters of life. Of course, overtime pay was also paid in accordance with regulations.

The next step is the company's personnel appointments.

The company's CEO is Qiu Ciyun, who co-founded SMIC with Zhang Rujing and is his most capable deputy.

CTO Ji Minghua is a student of semiconductor giant Hu Zhengming. He was formerly the senior vice president of SMIC and has been in charge of research and development. In 2007, he once served as the chief technology officer (CTO).

Behind Mi An is Zhang Rujing, a man without a name, position or status, who is remotely controlling the situation.

The current chip manufacturing process on the market is generally between 28 and 22 nanometers, and at the suggestion of Zhang Rujing, Xiaomian set its first goal at 45 nanometers, two generations behind the market, and then moved forward steadily.

The R&D cycle is set at one year. The experience gained will lay the foundation for subsequent catch-ups. In addition, with orders for Xiaomi's home appliances, 45-nanometer chips are sufficient and there is no need to worry about sales.

Even if the most advanced chips on the market have been upgraded to 20 nanometers or even less by then, it doesn’t matter. We can just take it one step at a time.

At the same time, Chen Mo and Lei Jun formulated a high-salary chip development plan. One of them was to say hello to Li Jianchao, who was still overseas, and ask him to post some recruitment information abroad to attract chip experts from all over the world and offer preferential treatment!

In this way, Mi'an Xinsheng Integrated Circuit Manufacturing Co., Ltd. began to operate in its park in Yizhuang, Beijing.

At the same time, TSMC Chairman Morris Chang received an anonymous email with the following feedback.

After reading the content, his face was uncertain, and then he went to find the company's legal director.

"We finally got rid of Zhang Rujing two years ago, and now Samsung has another Liang Mengsong. Let's check whether it's true."

A few days later, TSMC issued a "hunt order" against Liang Mengsong.

In order to block Samsung's technology, TSMC filed a lawsuit against Samsung and Liang Mengsong. The target of the lawsuit was Liang Mengsong's suspected "technology infringement" and "violation of the non-competition agreement."

In Beijing, Chen Mo ordered the public opinion monitoring department to keep a close eye on Liang Mengsong and notify him immediately if he resigns from Samsung.

December was spent in such a busy dual-line work.

This made Chen Mo realize a problem. He used to be an employee who was treated like a beast of burden, but now that he was a boss, he could let his employees say goodbye to their life as beasts of burden.

I have become a beast of burden again, what the hell.
Later Chen Mo realized that he had spent too much time with Lei Jun this month and was influenced by this workaholic.

While Lei Jun was preparing for the press conference, he was also preparing. Lei Jun was asking about various business progress, and he was also following up.

It seems that the virus can be transmitted from person to person, so we should avoid it if possible. On December 12, Chen Mo finally returned to his long-awaited office after a month. After all, it had been a year, and he began to take stock of his business territory.

Entity: Bi'an Technology (70% stake)

Subsidiary: Bi'an Venture Capital Fund (100%)

Angel investment: miHoYo (30%)

Wholly owned acquisitions: Ledong Excellence (80%), Yinhan Technology (90%), Wanxie Technology (70%)

Shareholdings: Xiaomi Technology (although it has invested a total of 1 million US dollars, it was still diluted in the last round. It currently owns 18% of the shares and is the third largest shareholder. The first two are Lei Jun's 27% and DST's 22%), Shunwei Capital (21.8%), Mi'an Xinsheng (40%), and Black Rain Consulting (50%)

Industries involved: mobile social networking, mobile games, angel investment, chips, and mobile phone manufacturing.
As for revenue: mobile game revenue in November broke the record and reached 11 billion, and this month should be similar to last month.

Among them, the revenue contribution of national mobile games accounts for nearly two-thirds.

The mobile game with the highest revenue is still "Ancient War", which is praised by the media as a money-eating beast. After its launch, the monthly revenue has been getting higher and higher with the passage of time. This is because as players invest more in the game, more resources are consumed for upgrading, the longer it takes, and the greater the investment of funds.

The three major social games "Shoot the Plane", "Jump Jump" and "Oh My God" have completed their historical missions and have been strategically abandoned by Chen Mo. They are only in a maintenance state.

Among the 8 mobile games, "Ancient War" alone accounted for 20% of the total revenue, followed by Mahjong for All and Landlord, which are still classic hobbies for the public to make money. Then there is "Legend of Warcraft", and the card drawing game still has great potential.

Previously, there was 13 billion in Bi'an's account, 1.5 million for the cooperation with the Spring Festival Gala, 3.5 million for the red envelope budget, another 5 million for the establishment of Mi'an, and an additional 3 million for the follow-up investment in Xiaomi, which was just spent.

There is still 8 million in the account, which is last month's revenue. As soon as the money arrived, 3 million was used to expand the capacity of WeChat servers.

After all, the Spring Festival Gala is in front of audiences across the country, which is a big test for the performance of WeChat.

Recently, Zhang Xiaolong has led the WeChat business unit to conduct an overload stress test in order to withstand the pressure peak of just a few minutes. There is no room for sneaking around this time, and it is a complete test of the hard skills of the other side.

Even though Chen Mo now makes his money in billions, he still lives paycheck to paycheck. No, he's still a mortgage holder. He almost forgot that he owed the bank 10 billion.

The annual meeting will be held next month and year-end bonuses will be distributed. The more Bi'an develops, the more money it makes, but Chen Mo feels that it is not enough to spend.

Is this the dilemma that I, who have a conscience, are motivated, and treat my employees well, have to face? How can I fix this?
No wonder people often say that if you lose money you can earn it again, but if you lose your conscience you can earn more. It seems to make some sense.

Fortunately, Li Jianchao over there also received good news. He had already found overseas agents and was now entering the pre-promotion stage. He had already started advertising on Twitter and Facebook, but the 2 million yuan of funds for overseas operations had been almost spent.

Of course, all the company's financial use and support are supervised by Chen Mo through a specialized professional regulatory agency.

The dawn is just ahead. The launch conference of the other side will be held in a few days, and it should bring some new shocks to everyone.

On one floor away, Lei Jun was also silently reciting the script for Xiaomi's press conference tomorrow night.

This time he wrote the manuscript entirely by himself. This was a press conference that he and all the Xiaomi people actually held to completely de-Chen Mo's style, and there was no room for error.

However, with the experience of the previous two times, Xiaomi's team has evolved a lot and has prepared some new things this time.

Lei Jun reads the report on his computer: "Meizu vs. Xiaomi, a head-to-head battle at 1pm on January 1st!"

Humph, I just didn’t expect Huang Zhang to still not give up, so let’s just do it and see who will win in the end.

January 2012, 1, New Year's Day.

Two new mobile phone brands, Xiaomi and Meizu, held press conferences at the same time at 8 pm.

With the media hype, this was the first time that the two companies had such a naked fight, tit for tat.

The old rivals Lei Jun and Huang Zhang are finally about to start a head-on confrontation, which immediately attracted people's enthusiastic attention.

The top 100 lecture halls in Beijing and the Water Cube became the battlefield for the two men. This time Huang Zhang was full of confidence in playing away.

However, in terms of grandeur, the Water Cube is obviously bigger, with media guests and fans gathered there.

The big screen at the entrance displayed Meizu's poster titled "Dream Work", which was the source of Huang Zhang's confidence this time.

In fact, at the beginning he thought his image was not very good and wanted Bai Yongxiang to go on stage to give a speech, but then he got the news that Lei Jun would actually go on stage himself. Huang Zhang didn't want to lose out, so he went on stage himself.

Before going on stage, the two were watching the live broadcast of each other's press conference backstage. Coincidentally, they happened to be filming their respective leaders who were about to appear looking at the live camera.

From a third-party perspective, two former friends, now "friendly competitors", are looking at each other through the screen.

The sight of the two seemed to break through the dimensional wall, interweaving across time and space, and bursting out fierce sparks.
At 8 o'clock in the evening, the two men put away their chaotic thoughts, got ready, and stepped onto the battlefield that belonged to them.

The flash lights and cheers from the audience seemed to be the clarion call of war.
Xiaomi press conference VS Meizu press conference

open!
