Chapter 823
Faced with Hu Zhengming's straightforwardness, Lu Yiming not only did not think there was anything wrong with it, but he admired it very much.
He likes dealing with people who are so straightforward. It's tiring to deal with those who repeat the same sentence over and over again.
"As long as you have the ability to give me what I want, money is not a problem."
There is an opportunity to spend money now, but in ten years - no, even in five years, there will not be many opportunities to spend money.
Seeing that Lu Yiming was so easy to talk to, Hu Zhengming became even more excited and continued, "Yixin Technology's wafer fab requires the supply of the entire upstream and downstream industrial chain. Every link cannot go wrong, so as the leader, we have to evaluate and review the relevant domestic companies that join in."
Lu Yiming nodded slightly and said to Yu Jiayi who was standing behind him: "Write it down."
Later, Lu Yiming said to Hu Zhengming: "Related companies in the domestic semiconductor industry require that we can replace equipment on the production line. As long as it is useful, we will use it directly."
Seeing that Lu Yiming agreed with him, Hu Zhengming became more excited and said, "Yes, for the enterprise evaluation, we rate them based on the quality of their equipment, after-sales service, and technological research and development. ABC, once a year, can be closely linked to the purchase price or the support we can provide."
Lu Yiming thought about this for a moment before asking, "Are you going to hold an annual supplier conference?"
I have to say that Hu Zhengming is indeed an expert in supply chain integration. He has already helped Lu Yiming make arrangements.
Hu Zhengming carefully analyzed with Lu Yiming, "Annual evaluation is necessary, but regular technology sharing and support are also key points. China Shipping currently has only one plant, and the expansion of production capacity and the construction of new plants are both opportunities for development."
Then, Hu Zhengming made another suggestion, saying, "Mr. Lu , you need to identify suitable evaluators in our Yixin. A good engineer may not be able to make a good evaluation, but their opinions are definitely important."
Although Lu Yiming didn't understand much about this, he was willing to trust professionals like Hu Zhengming, so he immediately agreed and nodded, saying, "Well, I'll arrange it as soon as I get back."
In this case, the equipment, technology and materials required for the production line are simply beyond the reach of non-professionals, and it is indeed necessary to arrange some people with sufficient technical level to take up this important position.
In the field of high-tech related to semiconductors and electronics, the country is currently basically lagging behind in all aspects. Even if Lu Yiming wants to be a leader and contribute money and effort, he is also worried that the "little brothers" around him will not be able to keep up with his rapid pace.
At this time, what Lu Yiming wanted was not to continue purchasing equipment from abroad. On the contrary, he hoped that Yixin could take advantage of the development of globalization and become a customer that important equipment manufacturers could not give up.
And this kind of thing, relying on his own strength, would be extremely difficult.
Therefore, to a certain extent, helping domestic enterprises grow and regulating the entire industry is also a measure that is beneficial to its own development.
Because as long as domestic products can be used as substitutes, procurement costs will be immediately reduced.
First replace, then break through, and even become the leader of the industry.
As long as this can be achieved, the rise of Xia State will be just around the corner.
After Lu Yiming returned, he was just about to gather people to make a plan, but Xu Tengyu came over and said, "Mr. Lu, my grandfather wants to see you."
"Hey, what does the old man want me to do?"
Lu Yiming was a little surprised.
Xu Tengyu said: "I don't know. Anyway , grandpa asked me to come to you and didn't say what it was. You will know when you go there."
"oh."
Lu Yiming is a man of integrity and has nothing to fear. He feels that he has done nothing wrong, so he is naturally not worried that the old man will do anything out of line.
When they arrived at the Xu family villa, Xu Changming greeted Lu Yiming warmly and invited him to have tea under the grape trellis in the backyard.
"I heard that you like drinking tea very much. This is the Da Hong Pao that was distributed a few days ago. I was only given half a pound in total, so I'm giving it to you."
Looking at the solemn and majestic ceramic tea can on the table, Lu Yiming couldn't help but be surprised.
Don’t think that Dahongpao is just a common product just because there are many teas on the market that are labeled as Dahongpao. The Dahongpao that Xu Changming can get must be produced by the mother tree, not the grafted Dahongpao that is everywhere.
There are only six mother Dahongpao trees in the country. As early as the beginning of the last century, the government had already sent heavy troops to guard them. Every year, a special approval document is required for picking the tea. Six years ago, these six trees were listed as cultural relics and key protected objects.
At the 7th Hongpao Festival which just concluded not long ago, a 20-gram portion of mother tree Dahongpao was sold for as much as 200,000 yuan.
In other words, the tea in this ordinary jar in front of you is worth two or three million.
How can any foreign luxury limited edition product compare to this?
As a native of Lingnan, Lu Yiming loves to drink tea, and this kind of tea is hard to come by, so he smiled and said, "Old gentleman, you are too polite."
Seeing that the tea worth more than two million yuan was sent away without a word, Xu Tengyu couldn't help but said sourly: "Grandpa, you didn't even ask me if I want to drink tea."
Then, he complained to Lu Yiming, "Others give gifts to my grandfather, but you are different. My grandfather gives you gifts."
Lu Yiming said disdainfully: "Oh, your sourness is bubbling out."
He was too lazy to pay attention to Xu Tengyu, but looked at Xu Changming and asked, "Old man, you called me here just to give me some tea, right?"
Xu Changming asked in high spirits, "I heard that your Yixin Technology has become famous?"
When Lu Yiming made up his mind to develop the chip project, Mr. Xu also made great efforts behind the scenes. Now that there are some results, it is normal for him to ask about it.
Lu Yiming did not hide this, but said modestly: "Yes, we have made some small achievements, and we need to keep up the good work."
Xu Changming said with a smile: "You are too modest. Achievements are something to be happy about."
Chips are becoming more and more important, especially in the modern warfare mode. No matter how many of those big and black gadgets we have, they can no longer determine the outcome of a battle.
Instead, new tactical systems such as various precision-guided missiles, decapitation tactics, battlefield communications, etc. began to influence the direction of the war.
These high-tech products undoubtedly require chips.
When it comes to military industry, it is no joke. The chips purchased from outside are even more unreliable. Therefore, the success of Lu Yiming's Loongson plan and the completion of Yixin Technology's wafer factory are of great strategic significance to Xia State.
Then Xu Changming asked again: "Does your company make DRAM?"
DRAM is the memory stick. Although it is not very important, it is not completely unimportant.
It was obvious that Xu Changming was asked this question on behalf of someone else.
Lu Yiming paused and sighed, "The logic chip is what I want, and the DRAM is what I want too. I can't bear to give up both. The logic chip is very good, and the DRAM memory chip is also very good."
Xu Tengyu, who was familiar with Lu Yiming, immediately understood the essence of this sentence and said sarcastically, "Okay, you want them all, right? Do you have to be so greedy?"
Lu Yiming said disapprovingly: "Of course they do both. Isn't Samsung also a foundry? This shows that as long as you can make money, you can have your cake and eat it too."
Xu Changming kindly advised: "Be careful not to take too big a step. You might tear your balls."
Lu Yiming said directly: "Who doesn't want to eat meat? Otherwise, Mr. Xu, how do you think I got the title of the richest man in Asia?"
Hearing Lu Yiming say this, Xu Changming couldn't help but look at Lu Yiming differently.
Many people who had been in front of him before were just pretenders. This was the first time he had seen someone who could be so open about his greed.
"I have to say, you are indeed special. If that's the case, then just do what you want. If you encounter any difficulties, you can come and talk to me. Although I am just a retired old man, I will provide you with enough tea and water."
Lu Yi knew that Xu Changming took the initiative to endorse him, so he was very happy and said with a smile: "As long as you don't find me annoying, I will come over for tea every day."
"You're quite free!"
"hey-hey."
Lu Yiming knew that the discussion was almost over, so he didn't hesitate to take the tea leaves on the table and said, "Let me drink this tea first."
After leaving Beijing, Lu Yiming received a call from Huang Zhang, general manager of Maomao Mobile.
"Mr. Lu, we have encountered difficulties in the development of image sensors. We may have to seek other solutions."
"Okay, I'll go over and take a look."
Soon, Lu Yiming arrived at the Maomao Mobile headquarters.
Image sensors are very important. When other hardware cannot be used, this is the only thing that can be used to create new things.
In fact, the camera plays a very important role in smartphones.
Because you need to scan the code.
Lu Yiming called Huang Zhang to his office and asked, "Are you having any problems with sensor technology?"
Huang Zhang said: "Yes. Maomao Mobile's technology accumulation in image sensors is too weak. If we rely solely on independent research and development, we will definitely not catch up. If we want to launch smartphones as planned, we may have to purchase them. We are doing research and development while purchasing."
Lu Yiming planned to launch a smartphone before Apple, but he didn't have much time left.
Lu Yiming thought about it and felt that it was a good idea. After all, the ultimate goal was to completely localize the parts, and it was not something that had to be done right away, as that was unrealistic.
"Well, this idea is good. We must strive to localize all parts, but for now we can relax the requirements and focus on making products as quickly as possible."
The sudden emergence of smartphones is bound to take the world by storm, so it is very important to be the first manufacturer to launch a smartphone.
However, Lu Yiming didn't like the pure buying method, so he asked: "If you purchase, can you use technology licensing or cooperation?"
Huang Zhang said: "I think so too. Technology can be learned while watching, and making money and research and development will not be delayed at the same time."
"So do you have any good goals?"
Huang Zhang said: "A few days ago, I talked with a Chinese engineer from Sharp, and he mentioned that SOMY's mobile phone camera is excellent."
Lu Yiming pinched his chin and said, "Didn't SOMY launch an image sensor project? How about we just find a way to poach people from SOMY?"
Huang Zhang was shocked when he saw Lu Yiming being so crude and rude: "Isn't this a bit bad? That's SOMY."
Cameras and image sensors are good stuff, and they are all essential parts of mobile phones.
Lu Yiming said confidently: "So what about SOMY? Are all SOMY employees saints who regard money as dirt?"
Huang Zhang was speechless.
SOMY is the absolute overlord in the consumer electronics market. Although it has declined in recent years, its reputation remains. No one dares to challenge it.
Anyway, I've only heard of SOMY offering high prices to poach people, but I've never heard of anyone offering high prices to poach people from SOMY.
Lu Yiming had no idea what Huang Zhang was thinking, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
"How about this, I'll find some time to go to SOMY and discuss cooperation first. If we can't come to an agreement, I'll poach people. It's not shameful to make money."
Not long after, Lu Yiming and his men arrived at the SOMY headquarters on the island country by plane.
Upon hearing that there was a big business to be done, SOMY President Nakabachi Ryoji warmly welcomed Lu Yiming.
Ryoji Nakabachi, who has just become the company's president, is obviously very ambitious and wants to lead the group out of the quagmire and become great again.
Therefore, when receiving Lu Yiming, the richest man in Asia, they were very attentive and directly arranged a luxurious banquet. They also specially selected a young and beautiful female assistant from the company to come and accompany him for drinking.
Lu Yiming was also accustomed to big scenes, and was not moved by this at all. He discussed the purpose of his visit with Zhongbo Liangzhi in a business manner.
“I hope to obtain SOMY’s technology license and work together to develop the next generation of image sensor devices.”
Zhongba Ryoji was very disdainful when he heard this, but in order to get the order, he still kept smiling and said, "R&D is very expensive. Mr. Lu, you don't need to take such a risk. Please trust SOMY's technology. We are definitely the best in the industry."
What he said implicitly means that he looks down upon Maomao Mobile's scientific research capabilities.
In fact, SOMY has its reasons for being arrogant. Although its terminal sales are not very strong, SOMY is still at a world-class level in terms of technological research and development.
Their biggest problem is that they bet on the wrong thing every time, which is why they get themselves into such a mess.
After hearing what Zhongba Ryoji said, Lu Yiming couldn't help but shake his head slightly.
With SOMY's scientific research ability, plus his vision and judgment as a reborn person, if the two sides can cooperate, they will definitely be invincible.
It's a pity that SOMY is still the SOMY in our impression. Others will not turn back until they hit the wall, but they want to knock it down directly after hitting the wall.
