Rebirth 2004: I can make money by writing.

[Wangyi Finance Column Report: Pingguo Company's stock price has recently continued to decline due to the impact of Future Technology Group's chip production, and its market value has shrunk to US$3456 billion. The market is full of concerns about Pingguo's future performance...]

Future Technology Group, Chairman’s Office.

Hao Qiang was leaning back on a leather sofa, holding a cup of steaming goji berry tea in one hand and a mobile phone in the other, browsing the latest international news with a slightly lazy look.

"Oh, I never thought that Pingguo Company would be influenced so much by me."

Hao Qiang whispered to himself, with a hint of emotion and pride in his tone.

Recalling the scenes of his previous life, he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.

In 2012, Pingguo became the world's most valuable company with a market capitalization of $500 billion thanks to the outstanding performance of iPhone 4S and iPad, as well as the rapid expansion of the iOS ecosystem, and established an unshakable position in the industry.

However, the situation in this life is completely different.

Ever since the White Tiger 835 mobile processor independently developed by Future Technology Group went into mass production and launched on the market in May last year, the landscape of the entire mobile phone processor industry has begun to quietly change.

Well, his colleagues secretly called him a troublemaker.

But it has to be said that the White Tiger 835 chip has quickly captured the market with its excellent performance and energy efficiency, becoming the first choice of many mobile phone manufacturers.

Although Future Technology Group does not directly produce mobile phones, it has already put Pingguo Company under great pressure thanks to the strong competitiveness of Baihu 835.

Since its launch, Huawei's MateS has sold over 10 million units thanks to the powerful performance of the White Tiger 835, becoming a dark horse in the market and officially entering the high-end mobile phone industry.

Not only that, other international mobile phone manufacturers have also purchased mobile phone processors from Future Technology Group. Their mobile phones equipped with White Tiger 835 have achieved impressive sales results worldwide, and Pingguo Company's market share has further shrunk, especially in the high-end market.

Therefore, Pingguo Company's iPhone 5 was greatly affected after it was launched globally in September last year.

Especially in the Huaguo market, it suffered a Waterloo.

The strong rise of Baihu 835 directly squeezed Pingguo's market share, causing its stock price to continue to fall and its market value to shrink significantly.

Of course, those who like it still like it very much. Many middle school girls mature overnight for it.

There are also many brainless men who sell their blood in exchange for mobile phones.

Hao Qiang put down his phone and took a sip of tea.

With two lovely wives at home, even wolfberry is difficult to treat.

If he didn't have such a strong physique, he would have died of exhaustion from plowing the fields so often.

anyway,

In 2024, in the previous life, Pingguo’s market value reached 3 million US dollars, which is really awesome.

Among the top ten companies in the United States by market value, four have been seriously affected by Future Technology Group, including Pingguo, Eagle Weida, Tesla and TSMC.

These technology giants that were once powerful in their past lives have gradually lost their former glory due to the strong rise of Future Technology Group.

Among them, Tesla's development prospects are particularly bleak.

Due to the strong performance of Future Automobile, a subsidiary of Future Technology Group, in the new energy field, it is no longer possible for Tesla to build a super factory in Shanghai as it did in the previous life.

It was that super factory that gave Tesla an absolute advantage in cost control and market expansion, thus ushering in its golden age of rapid development.

In this life, the rise of future cars has completely changed the market landscape, and Tesla's development space has been severely squeezed.

"Haha, Masque, Masque!"

Hao Qiang was somewhat proud of this achievement.

The situation of JSMC is not optimistic either. As a giant in the global semiconductor industry, the company's share in the high-end chip market has shrunk significantly, and its profits in the mid-range market have also been continuously squeezed.

The rapid expansion of Future Technology Group's semiconductor company has put Moss Semiconductor under unprecedented competitive pressure.

Last year, Future Technology Group launched a number of new chips, which quickly captured the market, and its semiconductor company's annual revenue reached an astonishing 1500 billion yuan!

Initially, the sales target was only 1000 billion yuan.

By 2013, Zhang Bo, general manager of the semiconductor company, was even more ambitious and planned to increase the sales of the semiconductor business to 2500 billion yuan.

"Damn it, this Moss Jidian is actually a complete fence-sitter.

As long as it leans towards the domestic situation, I won’t target it! "

Hao Qiang curled his lips and smiled.

In fact, he also knew that as a businessman, it was not wrong to pursue profits.

What's more, their lithography machines are from ASML, which is controlled by the United States.

However, since they have chosen sides, Hao Qiang will not be polite.

In the next two years, he will continue to expand production capacity and occupy the mid-to-high-end chip market.

What the United States could do before, but domestic companies cannot do, will now be done by Future Technology Group!

Of course, we can't push too hard at the moment.

Take your time and boil the frog in warm water.

Once you have the real ability to protect yourself and are no longer afraid of murder, you can use your ultimate move.

Hao Qiang put down his teacup and slowly walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the bustling city and the sea.

His thoughts gradually drifted away, recalling his journey from a loser to where he is today.

All of this is achieved through my own efforts to add blue.

At this moment, he was silently planning his future blueprint in his mind.

Flying cars, solid-state lithium metal batteries, artificial intelligence, smart robots...

The writing system is only level 9, and there is a 10th level above it.

After level 10, you may be able to continue upgrading.

He knew that the wave of technological revolution had just begun, and he was already standing at the top of the wave.

in the afternoon,

Sunlight streamed into the corridor through the glass curtain wall of the laboratory building. Hao Qiang walked steadily to the R&D center of the flying car project.

Every two weeks, he comes here in person to preside over the management meeting of the flying car project.

This project is a key project of Future Technology Group and one of the projects that Hao Qiang focuses on.

The flying car project is large and complex, covering more than ten major categories including vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) technology, autonomous driving and navigation systems, intelligent management systems, safety technology, electric power systems, structural design, etc.

Each major category is further divided into several subcategories, and each subcategory is an independent scientific research project, which is managed by a dedicated project manager.

Therefore, there are as many as thirty or forty project managers for the entire flying car project.

A project manager does not mean that his position is a manager, but rather the main person in charge of project management. They are usually people with outstanding professional abilities and rich management experience. They must be proficient in technology and good at making project plans, allocating resources, monitoring progress, and ensuring that projects are completed on time and with high quality.

At Future Technology Group, scientific research management adopts the project management system, so the role of the project manager is crucial.

In order to efficiently manage such a complex project, Future Technology Group adopted a variety of advanced project management tools.

For example, Gantt charts are widely used to plan project milestones and track progress, JIRA is used for task assignment and issue tracking, and Microsoft Teams has become the main platform for team communication and collaboration.

In a few years, Microsoft Teams will become a corporate influencer.

Weixin was launched not long ago. Enterprise Weixin was not launched until 2016 and was not widely used until 2020.

In addition, the group has also developed internal dedicated project management software that can monitor various data in real time to ensure that every link is under control.

Hao Qiang pushed open the door of the conference room and what came into view was a huge display screen showing the overall progress of the flying car project.

The densely packed task bars on the Gantt chart clearly mark the completion status of each sub-project. Green represents completed, yellow represents in progress, and red means problems have occurred.

All project managers attended the meeting, but the speakers were mainly from the heads of major projects.

Also, general issues are not discussed above.

Everyone knows that the chairman’s time is precious, and if they cannot decide, the chairman will make the final decision.

"Everyone, let's get started. Let's start with vertical takeoff and landing."

After Hao Qiang sat down, he briefly announced the start of the meeting.

At the same time, his eyes swept across the screen and quickly captured the status of several key nodes.

The first person to report was Chen Bin, the project leader of the VTOL technology group, who is a 38-year-old PhD from Shanghai Jiao Tong University.

He gave a detailed introduction to the latest progress in vertical take-off and landing technology, including the optimization of the power system and the results of stability tests.

“Hello, Chairman.

We have currently completed 85% of the testing tasks, but we have recently encountered some challenges in performance testing under extreme weather conditions, and the team is working hard to resolve them."

There was a hint of nervousness in Dr. Chen's tone.

Some people are not good at public speaking, but they have no problem with general communication and their ability to coordinate across departments is also no problem.

In fact, when it comes down to it, the difference in positions is too great, which puts him under invisible pressure.

"Well, go on. Just get to the point. This meeting will probably last two or three hours, so time is tight. No need for pleasantries."

Hao Qiang nodded and motioned him to continue.

Then, Dr. Chen continued to elaborate, highlighting the key points.

Finally, Hao Qiang concluded: "If there are any issues that affect the overall progress and cannot be resolved, you should try to inform me.

I am responsible for many projects here, and sometimes I really can't manage them all. Please send me a message to remind me and I will deal with it as soon as possible.

I am sitting here, representing the person in charge of this project, not the chairman of the group. You need to understand this issue clearly."

When everyone heard the chairman's words, they quickly wrote them down.

Future Technology Group has so many employees and countless projects. The fact that the chairman can personally participate in them shows that he really likes scientific research, and they admire him very much.

It is for this reason that Future Technology Group's scientific research results continue to emerge.

While Hao Qiang was explaining the project problems, his thinking ability was so abnormal that when others couldn't solve a problem, he would think about it for a while, and then he would immediately think of the problem, and his thinking was basically correct.

They will need to do the specific verification.

Then, Mr. Li from the autonomous driving team reported on the development progress of the navigation system.

"Our algorithm has passed preliminary verification, but its performance in complex urban environments needs further optimization," said Mr. Li, displaying the latest test data on the screen.

"The data isn't sufficient, and many factors are missing. Don't be afraid to spend money and continue the simulation," Hao Qiang said. "There's another more serious problem: there's an information gap between your project teams.

Well, it's just a different understanding of something.

I hope you can try to communicate face to face, observe more, and don't jump to conclusions, even if you are very experienced.

We have been engaged in digital office for many years, but I have always emphasized that scientific researchers sitting in the office must go to the site and even do hands-on operations.

Not to mention being proficient in the operation, at least you need to have a basic understanding of it.

Scientific researchers at automobile companies are unqualified if they cannot drive, especially their own company's cars.

Mr. Li, please continue."

"Okay..." Mr. Li nodded solemnly and continued.

Afterwards, the project leaders of the intelligent management system, safety technology, electric power system and other groups reported in turn.

Rested for a few minutes, then continued.

Hao Qiang listened carefully to every detail, nodding and frowning from time to time.

His questions always hit the nail on the head, which not only puts pressure on the reporters but also points them in the direction of improvement.

In fact, everyone who does scientific research knows that if the general direction is wrong, all the efforts will be in vain.

At the end of the meeting, Hao Qiang criticized a project team: "We have reached the prototype verification stage, and the prototype manufacturing is more than ten days behind schedule. What is the reason?"

Dr. Wang, the person in charge, explained nervously, "A batch of materials failed inspection, so we had to re-purchase them, which wasted quite a bit of time."

"Materials are the core of safety and this cannot be ignored. You are doing the right thing.

However, the project was delayed, which is a problem.

If you need to visit suppliers, you should go there, urge them to come up with a plan, and keep an eye on every step.

If that doesn't work, change suppliers.

Some supplier salespeople take orders regardless of whether their own company can do it or not, which only wastes our time."

"Okay, this is my problem. I will send someone to the supplier to investigate the situation on site." Dr. Wang nodded, not daring to refute this.

Hao Qiang said, "Well, if you need additional resources, please contact the resource allocation team directly."

Next, the project meeting continued.

This project meeting lasted more than two hours. At the end, Hao Qiang stood up, looked around at the project managers present, and said in a firm tone: "The flying car project is a key project of our group. Whether it can change the future of transportation depends on you.

We strive to announce it in the middle of the year and launch it at the end of the year.

I'll mention it again, in the early stages, we must do a good job of meeting the requirements.

Some project teams simply did not understand the initial requirements, which resulted in information asymmetry and led to many detours.

Of course, there should be no slackness in any scientific research link.

I hope everyone will continue to work hard to ensure that the project is completed on time and with high quality.

There will be another project meeting before the end of the year, so let’s stop here for today.

After the project meeting minutes are completed, send them to the group. "

After saying that, Hao Qiang left the meeting room.

The project managers finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the chairman leave.

But I have to say that the project progressed faster because there was someone watching from above.

Well, this is what it’s like to work on a scientific research project. Staring at the schedule every day is so tiring.
