Homecoming of Rebirth

Yes, these two pieces of news were indeed of interest to Adams, and made his face even more hideous.

Adams even developed a sense of mission, he must stop Qi Lei and stop the Chinese.

……

※※※

Different from the last global release of mate.1 held in Seattle, Qi Lei scheduled the global release of Sanshi matepad tablet computer in Beijing on the day before the Chinese New Year.

Unsurprisingly, the subversive design of matepad once again amazed the world and became the first electronic product that attracted much attention in 2007.

Not surprisingly, Sanshi will make a lot of money this time.

And major financial magazines and mainstream reviews also rated Qi Lei as the top ten influential people in the world in 2006.

And another topic that people are passionate about is:

How much money does Qi Lei have?Is he already the richest man in the world?

After all, except for Penguin, Sanshi Company has no listed business. Without disclosing financial reports, no one can judge how much this company is worth.Not to mention how much money Qi Lei, the founder of Sanshi, has.

For all kinds of guesses, Qi Lei, the client, didn't care at all, he didn't even know how much money he had.

Never counted!

What really made him happy was that his long-cherished career had taken another big step forward.

As disclosed on Guge News, taking advantage of the opportunity of Bill, Jobs and others coming to the capital to attend the press conference, Qi Lei set the bridge, and everyone had a not-so-formal meeting with Lao Qin.

There is no need to repeat the process, but the result is quite gratifying, and the two parties have basically reached a preliminary agreement.

In the next two years, Apple will invest 40 billion US dollars to build an Apple factory in Shenzhen, and transfer 80% of the production of Apple computers and iPhones to China.

And promised that within five years, the proportion of Apple products using Chinese component suppliers will not be less than 5%.

Microsoft, Motorola, and Nokia also invested US$12 billion, US$20 billion, and US$22 billion to build factories in Shenzhen, promising a certain percentage of Chinese manufacturing.

The achievement of this step has also realized the purpose of reducing internal resistance with the help of external forces that Qi Lei said before.

Of course, there is another important reason why these companies are willing to build factories in China, in addition to the government's preferential policies and relatively low manufacturing costs.

That is: Qi Lei also made some verbal promises that Sanshi will temporarily not set up patent barriers for some mobile phone technologies and patents, so that these companies can survive in the mobile phone market.

At this point, Qi Lei seemed to suffer a little loss, but in fact it was just a favor for nothing.

As I said before, as long as Sanshi mobile phones are targeted at the high-end market, it will be fine to be a guide, and Sanshi will not engage in monopoly in the low-end market.

In this way, the mobile phone industry will present a situation of one superpower and many strong ones, which can not only maintain vitality, but also enter a relatively benign development environment.

In fact, Qi Lei's mobile phone pricing in China is so low, it is preparing for this step.

The price of 5000 to 6000RMB is quite low according to the current situation.There is profit margin, but there is not much room for further downward movement.

Sanshi sells so cheaply in China, it is difficult for other manufacturers to enter, and it must be a situation where Sanshi dominates.

In this way, the user stickiness of other manufacturers cannot be cultivated, and it also eliminates communication security issues that may arise in the future.

In short, no matter what, the news that several companies have reached a preliminary agreement with the Chinese government has caused a sensation in the world.

People call this incident a sign that "the center of the global semiconductor industry may return to the East again".

And the Greater China region, which owns tokki, ARM, ASML, BOE, SMIC, and TSMC's Sanshi Company, has already had a certain influence in the semiconductor industry unknowingly.

This made American politicians in Washington finally realize a sense of crisis.

This time it may be even faster than the rise of the Japanese semiconductor industry 20 years ago.In the blink of an eye, in the semiconductor industry, the United States has grown old.

Of course, some people are optimistic and think it is too early to be wary of China.

After all, the United States still has AMD, Intel, Texas Instruments, IBM and a series of semiconductor giants.

Including Apple, Microsoft, and Motorola, they are only about to transfer their manufacturing plants to China, and the core is still in the United States.

Moreover, they have Intel and AMD's 06 financial statements, and their profitability is still strong, and we are still number one in the world.

Among the positive voices on this side, there is only one person who has been singing the opposite tune-Adams!

In that grove outside Washington, Adams faced Charles Koch.

"Mr. Koch, Qi Lei has completely touched the interests of the United States and even shaken national security. We must take action!"

Adams' statement to Koch has lasted for more than an hour. He described the current situation and the crisis in the semiconductor industry to Koch in detail, and tried his best to sell his position.

During this period, Koch just listened quietly, and finally, "Okay Adams, I think I have clearly understood your position and point of view."

"Now, I need to have a good discussion with my friends to see if the future is as dangerous as you said."

Adams opened his mouth, obviously wanting to say something more.It's a pity that Charlie Schoch's eyes were extremely firm, "Okay then!" Adams could only give up.

However, before leaving, he tried one last time, "Mr. Koch, you are my most respected elder, and I believe in your wisdom [-]%."

"But I have to remind you that no matter what your decision is, you must do it as soon as possible. It is too late to stop him now."

Koch looked at Adams expressionlessly. After a long time, he sighed, "Adam, there are not many young people like you who have America in their hearts."

"Please trust me as an old man, I will probably not disappoint your expectations, and you will get an answer soon."

A hint of surprise flashed unconsciously on Adams' face, "Good!"

After Adams left, Charlie Schoch sat alone for a long time, finally made up his mind and picked up the phone.

"Hey, Paulson, I want to talk to you! Can you take pity on the old man and come to Washington?"

……

"Well, I'll wait for you, no matter what time it is!"

……

Late at night, a Ford SUV pulled up in front of the villa, and Koch personally greeted Paulson at the door.

The two sat down in the wine cellar in the basement, and Koch also specially opened a bottle of precious red wine.

"I assure you, no one is listening here, and nothing you say will come out of this room."

Seeing Paulson tasting the red wine, he suddenly smiled, "It's really a good bottle of wine!"

Putting down the glass, "Mr. Koch, let me guess, you called me here because of that kid named Qi Lei?"

Koch nodded, as a tacit consent.

After a moment of silence, "So, you also know what I'm going to ask?"

Paulson picked up the red wine again to taste, shook his head, "I don't know, but..." looked straight at Koch, "I know what I'm going to say."

Koch made a gesture of invitation, and Paulson said, "That kid lied to me, he and Gerald are in the same group, ARM belongs to him!"

Koch was taken aback.

He knew that if ARM's speculation was true, then Paulson must be full of resentment towards Qi Lei.He even hated it to the point of reducing his penguin stock holdings and transferring Sanshi's shares, which meant parting ways.

It is precisely because of this that Koch called him over, hoping to get some useful news from Paulson.

It's just that he didn't expect that Paulson would be so direct when he came up.

You know, Paulson has never made this news public, and even Desheng's board of directors has friends of Koch, and they don't know the specific situation.

"Paulson, go on!"

Paulson smiled wryly, "That kid is working for the Chinese government, and it was a conspiracy from the very beginning! What else is there to say?"

Koch was a little dazed, "Are you... sure?"

Paulson sneered, "He told me himself, you said I'm not sure?"

Koch, "..."

Well, calling Paulson was the right decision.

"Paulson, keep talking!!"

Paulson smiled, "Koch, do you know about Changning Investment? He bought Desheng out of it. And... Meisi! It was also bought out of me. However, I have completely broken with them. divested."

Koch, "..."

Early the next morning, Paulson left the forest house.

Koch sent him off and got back to the phone right away.

"Adam, I think I have made up my mind, you can start investigating that Chinese!"

Adams on the opposite side was overjoyed, and what he was waiting for was Koch's words.

Because Koch's nod means not just an order, but resources.

The biggest reason why Adams hesitated to move forward on Qi Lei's issue was that EDN is only a private organization after all, and he has the ability to mobilize many official resources only after authorization.

Koch, "Don't worry, I will fully support you!"

"But!" Koch's voice was extremely serious when the topic changed, "I have one more requirement, and that is, it must be impeccable and foolproof!"

"Otherwise...you know, that Chinese has a lot of energy and will cause a lot of trouble."

Adams, "Understood."

Putting down the phone, Adams' facial features were almost distorted.There are complex emotions of excitement, cruelty, and inexplicable ecstasy.

Slowly sat back at the desk, slowly opened the drawer, and slowly took out an envelope from it.

It was the envelope that Qi Lei humiliated him, and the more than 3000 US dollars inside.

Staring at him for a long time, Baker, who came to the office, looked at him a little hairy.

……

Qi Lei.

After the Chinese New Year, he has been staying in the country to cooperate with Lao Qin in industrial adjustment.

It wasn't until May that everything went well for Lao Qin, Qi Lei remembered, "I almost have to go to the United States, right? A lot of things are waiting there!"

Old Qin was startled, "How long will it take?"

Qi Lei pondered, "It's hard to tell! If it's quick, it will take a few months. If it's not done well, it should be back in a year and a half."

Lao Qin nodded, lowered his head and pondered for a while, and finally said, "Go! I'll pick you up when the time comes."

Qi Lei bared his teeth and smiled, "Okay! But, if I can't come back, you have to help me think about the supermarket. Zhao Wei is working on it, then..."

"Understood." Lao Qin was impatient, "Isn't it just a bustling opening? I'll remember it for you!"

Qi Lei, "Hey, let me be willful for a while."

Old Qin, "Yes."

……

The next day, Qi Lei boarded the plane to America together with Wu Ning and Xu Xiaoqian who did not leave after returning home for the Chinese New Year.

Chapter 630 Arrest

A conference room at Intel headquarters in Santa Clara, California, USA.

Through the three-stone mobile phone pricing incident, Adams formed an alliance with several giants in Silicon Valley.

"Then now, it's time for you to show your sincerity!"

Facing Bill, Kroger and other bigwigs in the US semiconductor industry, Adams looked calm, and there was no doubt about what he said.

After hearing this, everyone below immediately fell into discussion, and the buzzing in the conference room lingered for a long time.

Just now, Adams proposed a disgraceful plan, hoping that all parties will provide funds and government support to work together to bring down the three stones.

This proposal, to be honest, both Bill and Jobs were very disgusted.

Anyway, they have a personal friendship with Qi Lei.However, personal feelings are not so absolute when it comes to the life and death of the company.
