Back to 1990

Liu Cheng brought over the latest company report, and several vice presidents explained the specific situation. They are very optimistic about the chip market, and believe that as long as the mobile phone market is established, the R&D company can achieve a balance of payments.

Lu Feng always just listened to what the executives said. After all, it was impossible for them to tell the boss that the company would be ruined in a few years. More problems had to be discovered by themselves.

"Talent training needs to be strengthened, try to recruit college students, let the talent reserve center open a docking department for the R&D company, and carry out talent transfer. At the same time, the R&D company should also have a talent reserve center." Lu Feng looked at the report in his hand. Said: "Some things are the most secure when you hold them in your own hands."

"After the domestic R&D center is completed, as long as overseas scientists who are willing to come to the country to develop, they will all be invited to come to the country, with food, lodging and air tickets included. They have no worries."

"There is only one requirement in the whole core, that is to hold talents tightly in our hands, and only with talents can we have a future, and from now on, any contact between the R&D company and other branches in the group must sign a formal contract. All technical authorizations are shortened to within one year!"

"How much did you spend on the previous budget of two billion dollars?" Lu Feng asked Liu Cheng.

"The two billion is the three-year budget. One billion was given in the first year, and five hundred million was given this year. There is still another five hundred million left." More than a billion dollars."

"It's already September, and it's already October, so what are you waiting for? If you want to 'know how to spend', the flowers are fine, and no one can say anything." Lu Feng closed the folder and ordered Said: "My private jet, villa, and vehicles are all affiliated to the group. Recently, I will negotiate with the headquarters and let them sell it to the R&D company for one yuan."

Liu Cheng nodded, and the senior executives present all understood in their hearts that the research and development company will really be independent by the end of the year!

Everyone was confused for a moment. Since the establishment of the R&D company, it has been a blood transfusion from the group headquarters. If it leaves the group, can this company survive for a year?

"In the past few months, we must seize the time to rectify the interior and establish a strong enough defense line." Lu Feng asked Liucheng: "There has been no disturbance in the country of America recently, has it?"

Liu Cheng thought about it for a moment, and said: "The actions against us have not increased too much, but there has been some competition in the markets of neighboring countries. The competition for Fusang is really big. As far as I know, there are already many Fusang chips. Corporate executives have been poached, and investigations into Fuso's chips are ongoing."

"The news of various media stealing US technology from Fusang is flying all over the sky, and the suppression of tariffs, raw materials, and technology is also relatively ruthless. The most important thing is that they support Samsung and TSMC to compete. In this environment, we because of The product did not go overseas, and the domestic market is not large, but it has not been targeted much since then.”

"Since 1985, the global market share of Fuso's semiconductor products has continued to decline. At that time, the market share was as high as 40%. Judging from the current situation, it is the safest choice for us to stick to the domestic market.”

Liucheng said it very euphemistically. In fact, Jiafeng’s current technology can’t go abroad at all. The technology is all talents dug from overseas. At best, Jiafeng is just a shit-stirring stick.

During lunch, Lu Feng briefly inquired about the situation of Jiaxun mobile phones. At present, it has covered six provinces in China, and the monthly sales volume is basically stable. Motorola, Sony, Nokia and other brands also maintain a regular sales status. The market It looked like it was dying down.

The most threatening thing at present is the PHS. According to internal sources, the PHS will be launched in advance, and the price is expected to be 3,000 yuan. This price is simply a blow to the mobile phone market.

Liu Cheng was very concerned about PHS, and mentioned it several times at the dinner table. Lu Feng just reassured him that the mobile phone is a mobile phone, and PHS is PHS, and the disadvantages of technology cannot be covered up or replaced.

This meal is mainly to prepare the R&D company and make cuts with the group headquarters a few months in advance, and at the same time leave a hole for the talent pool.

In the afternoon, Lu Feng called a group of senior executives for a meeting to discuss the research and development direction of chips, storage, displays, motherboards, etc., as well as the direction of next-generation semiconductors.

At present, computer processors have been included in the research and development progress. Lu Feng's request is to catch up with the previous generation of Pentium in 2002, form a second-tier strong brand in the domestic market, and strive to achieve parity or even catch up in 2010.

As for mobile phones, the R&D personnel have also given directions. SMS has been carried out in the laboratory. In terms of storage, major international companies are catching up. Finish.

These are the two mainstreams of mobile phone storage in the world. The development of SD cards is supported by Silicon Valley. The two sides are cooperating in competition and competing in cooperation.

Now the main research and development direction of Jiafeng storage is SD card, because the lead engineer is dug from Toshiba!

"Then can we get the authorization?" Lu Feng asked.

Liu Cheng showed distress, and said for a while, "It's difficult in the short term, but we also have technological breakthroughs. After they launch products, try to exchange technology. We are still in close contact with some companies in Fusang."

"Increase investment in color screens, and pay attention to software development. This is very important. Other deficiencies can be purchased. Once software becomes a disadvantage, it is difficult to change."

At the meeting, Lu Feng emphasized the Internet. In the future, computer software will be put on mobile phones, and mobile phones will replace computers. The research and development of operating systems should be placed in the same echelon as chips, storage, and screens.

It is unrealistic to hope to catch up with others in a few years, but we want to reach the second echelon in a short period of time, make affordable products, and spread the products, so that any small factory can use the products of the R&D company.

To put it bluntly, it is an ordinary chip, ordinary storage, ordinary screen, plus an ordinary operating system. Consumers want to buy cheap ones, so they have to become experimental products of R&D companies, and they are constantly updated and iterated based on user feedback. , while increasing the coverage of the operating system.

Lu Feng asked them to launch the basic version of the operating system in 2000, free and open, and set up a website at that time, as long as they register casually, they can use the software of the research and development company, and the software must be bundled with the hardware.

The meeting ended at three o'clock in the afternoon, and everyone walked out of the meeting room feeling a lot of pressure on their bodies. Now that they have just launched a mobile phone, the boss is yelling about Internet, operating system and a bunch of confusing words. People are dumbfounded.

Lu Feng left the R&D company and went straight to Jiaxun, and went there to briefly understand the situation. On the way there, Lu Feng saw various crackdown slogans on the side of the road, obviously it was in full swing now.

In the United States and Wall Street, a large number of traders are sitting in front of the computer and operating. They are constantly searching for Thai baht in the world, contacting major banks for loans, and storing financial ammunition!

In September 1996, Thailand's US dollar reserves were 37.2 billion US dollars, and the currency exchange was generally stable, but no one knew that danger was coming.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Soros sat at the head of a conference room, asking about the current situation of the Thai baht borrowed. They have already received five billion U.S. dollars worth of Thai baht. The loan period is one month and the interest rate is 5%.

"Now is the time to act. At noon today, financial reports about Thailand will be published in some financial newspapers. First let the wind out and talk about Thailand's economy seriously."

At noon, many financial newspapers on Wall Street published about the Thai economy. Many well-known economists believed that the Thai economy was weak, and the internal manufacturing industry was upgraded too slowly. Only the tourism industry was left to support it. They were not optimistic about the economic growth in the next few years. , UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com believes that Thailand's economic growth rate next year will drop from 8 percent in 1995 to about 1 percent.

As soon as the news came out, those who knew finance on Wall Street felt something different. On the same day, Thai officials refuted this statement. They said that Thailand's economic growth was good and the industry was healthy and comprehensive.

A week later, at 8:00 in the morning in the United States, the foreign exchange market traded normally on this day. Soros arrived at the company early. The Thai baht is a small currency, and the daily trading volume is not much. Such a plate is also the easiest to smash.

"What's the deal volume now?" Soros asked.

"9 million U.S. dollars, according to observations in the past few days, the transaction volume of Thai baht is about 30 million." The trader replied.

"Throw ten million dollars out!"

In less than ten minutes, 10 million U.S. dollars worth of Thai baht was thrown out and quickly became a bomb in the market. The originally flat trading line fell down in an instant. At this moment, everyone who was staring at the Thai baht did not know What happened, panic started to spread.

Thai officials immediately noticed the exchange rate problem, quickly dispatched funds to take over the order, and ate the remaining funds in one bite.

"Eat it!" shouted the trader.

"Don't worry, let's see if they counterattack?"

With such large fluctuations in the foreign exchange market, the Thailand Foreign Exchange Bureau did not dare to make decisions without authorization. It reported the matter as soon as possible. After receiving the news, the upper management instructed them to keep the exchange rate and not give any profit to speculators who speculate in foreign exchange. call back.

Half an hour later, the exchange rate of the Thai baht began to rise, and they took the initiative to buy Thai baht worth five million U.S. dollars.

"Raised!"

"Smash!"

In an instant, another ten million dollars was thrown out, and the line that just raised his head instantly turned into a letter A!
