After the high-level leaders of both sides reached an intention on the content of cooperation, a new round of cooperation between Yuanqi technology and Toshiba has embarked on the fast lane of rapid progress.
With the previous mobile phone IC design project as the basis, this cooperation between the two sides can be said to be familiar.
A week later, on February 10, the two sides held a grand signing ceremony at the headquarters of Yuanqi technology.
When Yang Ge, who represents Yuanqi technology, and Yoshiyuki Nishino, President of Toshiba, signed the memorandum of cooperation, Wu Tao finally breathed a sigh and put his heart back in his stomach.
For a long time, he has been worried that the export cooperation of such high-end technologies may be affected by political factors, which may lead to complications or even death. Fortunately, none of this happened, and the cooperation between the two sides finally fell to the ground.
Of course, this has something to do with his good personal relationship with Lina Fujiwara, but also thanks to the current financial difficulties and severe economic situation in Asia.
It can be said that it is the product of the times.
Of course, the potential and strong volume of the Chinese market are also important factors to attract Japanese enterprises.
Although the signing ceremony was grand, Yuanqi technology did not make it public or publicize it. Instead, Toshiba sent a special correspondent to record the incident and published a press release in Japan, hoping to stimulate the company's share price and give investors full confidence.
As for Yuanqi technology, there is no need for such publicity, so it is simply kept secret.
Rao is so. Wu Tao is still very excited. After all, he has settled a big worry.
So that when the three computer doctors recommended by Ni Guangnan returned from abroad entered the company, he agreed without thinking about it.
Looking at Wu Tao's signature, Peiying couldn't help saying: "boss, these three are high-level talents with an annual salary of 500000, twice as many as our local R & D backbone. Is there a problem? "
In fact, not only has the annual salary doubled, but also the company provides a series of preferential and convenient conditions such as apartment accommodation in order to retain these talents.
However, Peiying's question is not aimless.
The pay gap between local and foreign employees will undoubtedly lead to the result that "foreign monks like to chant scriptures".
Such results may not be a problem at first, but once they have been in contact for a long time, and the responsibilities and work contents of local and foreign personnel are gradually close to or even cross, there will be a problem if the gap is so large.
So Wu Tao thought and explained: "first of all, this salary level is the proposal of academician Ni. I still want to give this face. Secondly, if the local talents who grow up in the future can play an equally important role as foreign talents, the salary level will also be in line with this standard! "
When Peiying heard this, she stared at her beautiful eyes and even spit out a sweet tongue: "I want to engage in technology research and development..."
Sent Peiying away, and Lengning followed her to knock at the door.
"Boss, for Sony and sharp's LCD panel products, when we investigate and measure, do we need to have any tendency?"
Even if he has been the person in charge of product R & D, Lengning's habit is still straightforward and straightforward.
Fortunately, Wu Tao has no selfishness in this matter. Otherwise, if asked by his subordinates, I'm afraid he will be unable to stand down on the spot.
"You don't need to be biased." Wu Tao looked at Lengning meaningfully and said, "it's just a comprehensive consideration from the aspects of cost, technology, quality, yield and after-sales. If you are really not sure about the characteristics of color LCD, you can also consider the scheme of diversified coexistence. "
"... in short, on the premise of ensuring the quality of the third generation mobile phone products, we should try our best to select suppliers with excellent product characteristics and advanced products."
Lengning wrote it down and said, "since it's like this, I'm relieved."
There is no airtight wall in the world.
Although the signing ceremony of technical cooperation with Toshiba was not carried out openly, a few days later, the domestic media still made a lot of publicity.
At the same time, some well-known figures in the industry began to express their views on this cooperation.
The result is not very ideal.
There are two distinct factions in the newspaper. One is the opposition led by Lenovo Liu Chuanzhi. They believe that the time for chip localization is not ripe. This move of Yuanqi technology is a blind investment and expansion.
As for the argument, it is nothing more than a series of sales data of the domestic chip market, which seems very clear and reasonable.
In contrast, the voice of the supporters seems a little weak.
For these different opinions, Wu Tao glanced at the newspaper and stopped caring about it.
Go your own way, take care of so much.
However, Ni Guangnan wrote several manuscripts in response to the request. As a result, there was no result.
On the contrary, he was so angry with himself.
It's hard to get any results from verbal and written criticism. What's more, it's still about the future, so it's more difficult to tell the winner.
Wu Tao didn't want to interfere with Academician Ni's freedom of speech, but two consecutive counterattacks failed to achieve the expected effect. On the contrary, when there was a growing trend, he resolutely called the other party.
"Chief engineer Ni, I mean, it's impossible to fight between spirit and spirit. These filthy remarks in the newspaper will be ignored as much as possible in the future. As a pioneer in the domestic chip industry, we just need to keep a low profile. What do you think? "
Ni Guangnan was stunned and immediately defended: "but boss, I'm not out of a dispute of will. I want to use this debate to publicize the necessity of chip localization to the general people and lay the foundation for our future product promotion."
"... otherwise, without the support of the domestic market, even if our domestic chips are made, it is difficult to open a breakthrough in the market..."
However, before Ni Guangnan finished his words, he was interrupted by Wu Tao.
"Chief engineer Ni, when we make products and markets, we first rely on the quality of products, secondly on the cost, thirdly on the service, and even some other factors. Finally, we can rely on feelings such as patriotism."
"... so unless you lack confidence in our domestic chips now, don't rely on verbal persuasion to open a breakthrough in the market."
Ni Guangnan was still puzzled and said, "but making domestic chips is actually a great cause related to the country and the nation..."
It's really stubborn. Wu Tao shook his head and said with a smile: "although I say so, it's unfair for the people of the main market to pay for their patriotism. Isn't it? "
"If we don't open a breakthrough in this aspect, I really can't think of how to carry out market promotion in the future." Ni Guangnan pondered.
Wu Tao waved his hand and said, "I'm glad you can consider this issue now. But I have a way to deal with this matter. I'll see it by then. You can rest assured! "
