Rebirth of science and technology academic master

Chapter 165: Courage (Second update)

Having a lot of money is also a worry!

Normally, when you have money, you buy luxury cars and mansions! But all of these are already available. For example, Jingtian has villas in Magic City, Lin'an, Pengcheng, Yangcheng, and Hengdian. Especially in Magic City, he also has a mansion. They already own several luxury cars, equipped with red flags, which make them look good no matter where they drive.

As for the toys of the super rich - yachts and private jets, the two of them have no use for them. They don't need to fly around frequently, so there is no need for private jets. And yachts don’t need it either.

As a result, Jingtian didn't know how to spend money for a while.

"The development of film and television is so prosperous. You can invest in film and television drama shooting and theaters. Aren't these exactly your industries?" Qin Yuanqing said nonchalantly: "You can also sign more artists and work hard to make money. How can you let others do it?" You make money quickly.”

"Don't you just make money quickly!" Jingtian retorted directly.

Qin Yuanqing was speechless. He couldn't say that he was cheating.

"But, what you said can be considered!" Jingtian said: "But I have no experience in starting a company, so don't blame me if you lose."

"If you lose this little money, you will lose it." Qin Yuanqing said completely nonchalantly. To be honest, if Jingtian could lose all this money, it would be due to his ability.

The money in that account was more than 200 million, which was a huge sum of money at this time.

Of course, if it's like "The Legend of Zhen Huan", we can only invest in two films. Investment in film and television dramas is getting bigger and bigger.

Then there was Jingtian complaining about the male protagonist acting like a big name on the set, which was simply subverting the character, and he also scolded the makeup artist and so on.

This male protagonist has starred in the youth drama "Struggle", the TV series "Dwelling" and "Snow Leopard". He is very popular and has joined the ranks of first-line stars. It can be said that he is loved by the audience and his popularity is overwhelming.

Qin Yuanqing was non-committal, and the characters of celebrities were almost untrustworthy. For example, the male protagonist who collaborated with Jingtian this time became a scumbag in a few years and was criticized by countless people. After that, his popularity disappeared and he was not even a second-tier star. superior.

After chatting for nearly an hour, Jingtian once again reminded her to attend her graduation ceremony in June, otherwise they would completely break off their relationship.

Qin Yuanqing hung up the video and smiled, but he was secretly envious. He didn't have a graduation ceremony, which was a pity in his life.

In a conference room in Warwick, Mr. Ren was still presiding over the meeting. The theme of the meeting was clearly the backup plan. In fact, Warwick has always had backup plans for suppliers and would not place all its hopes on one supplier.

However, this backup plan is a grand strategy and cannot be completed overnight. It will take many years to complete this backup plan.

Qin Yuanqing talked about chip manufacturing today. Although Mr. Ren said so, he actually took it very seriously and held meetings all night.

When the topic of chip manufacturing was mentioned, the entire conference room fell silent and frowned.

Because they are all insiders, laymen watch the excitement, and insiders watch the door. Outsiders think that they can establish the chip manufacturing industry by spending money, but this is not the case. The chip manufacturing industry is indispensable for technology and connections.

When Zhang Rujing came to China, a very important reason why he was able to create such a big stir was that although Zhang Rujing had no money, he had a technical team and connections, and he had proven himself in Baodao. So other people were willing to invest money, but Zhang Rujing was also a talented person, and he was able to establish Zhongli International in a short period of time.

However, what they faced was the suppression of TSMC. TSMC used legal means to force Zhongli International to let TSMC take a stake, and Zhang Rujing had to leave Zhongli International. Zhongli International completely lost its spirit and could no longer threaten TSMC.

"Well, it's already very late now. Everyone should go back and think more about it during this time. We will hold a meeting on this later." Seeing that no one came up with a feasible plan, Mr. Ren had to end this Meeting.

After everyone left, Mr. Ren stood by the window and looked outside. As the founder of Warwick, he knew how difficult Warwick's journey had been.

In 1997, it was China's economic winter, which was very difficult for state-owned enterprises and private companies. I don't know how many state-owned and private companies went bankrupt. For example, the once-famous Giant Group went bankrupt, and Sanzhu, which once had sales of 8 billion, almost died. However, Warwick has bucked the trend, with annual sales increasing by 60% year-on-year. Because this year, Mr. Ren changed his draft and formulated the 103-article "Warwick Basic Law". The "Warwick Basic Law" is known as the first enterprise management outline formulated by Chinese enterprises since the reform and opening up.

Article 1 of the "Warwick Basic Law" clearly states: "Warwick's pursuit is to become a world-class leading enterprise in the field of electronic information."

At the same time, Warwick carried out a shareholding reform. Warwick's management and employees held 70% of the shares, while Mr. Ren took the initiative to dilute his shares to about 1%. At the same time, Mr. Ren began to formally formulate a technology development strategy, stipulating that 10% of annual sales revenue should be used for technology research and development.

In line with this technology development strategy, Warwick has embarked on the opposite path of Lianlian's "Trade, Industry and Technology", "Technology, Industry and Trade"!

Facts have proved that his decision was right. Warwick has experienced great growth every year since that year.

In 2000, Warwick faced a big crisis. Li Yinan, who was regarded as the successor by Mr. Ren, left Warwick, which dealt a huge blow to Warwick. The company he founded developed rapidly and became Warwick's rival. Regarding Li Yinan, Mr. Ren felt very sad because the relationship between him and Li was no longer just a superior-subordinate relationship, but similar to the relationship between teacher and student or father and son. Li Yinan left, taking away many top R\u0026D and sales personnel. This secret method of scheming Chen Cang caused Huawei heavy losses. Mr. Ren felt both sad and angry.

After entering the new century, the bubble of high-tech companies burst, and Warwick also faced a serious crisis. It invested heavily in CDMA and missed out on PHS. In addition, Li Yinan left and established a new company. Mr. Ren even had two surgeries for cancer. Coupled with the death of his mother, he suffered from depression.

During that time, I often had nightmares when I went to sleep, and I often cried when I woke up from the dreams.

In 2003, Mr. Ren even decided to sell Warwick and started acquisition negotiations with Motorola. Even the purchase price was negotiated. Motorola acquired Warwick as a whole for US$7.5 billion, and the acquisition contract was signed and all procedures were completed. . Unfortunately, the personnel arrangement of Motorola's board of directors suddenly changed. The new CEO Edward Zander vetoed the acquisition as soon as he came to power.

Mr. Ren was also aroused. In addition, many people in the company were not in favor of selling the company. Therefore, with the concerted efforts of the top and bottom, Warwick burst out with strong combat effectiveness and finally got out of the predicament.

That time was really a life and death crisis for Warwick, and it was also in this life and death crisis that Warwick was reborn.

Today, Huawei is the largest private enterprise in China, a Fortune 500 company, and the third largest communications giant in the world. Its turnover is increasing year by year, and its profits are also increasing year by year.

However, having experienced crises and undercurrents overseas, Mr. Ren has always had a sense of crisis in his heart. In the past few years, he even proposed extreme thinking to ensure that Warwick can survive in the most extreme situations. It is precisely based on this that Warwick Started a spare tire plan.

What Qin Yuanqing said made Mr. Ren shudder. After all, mobile phones will become Huawei's flagship product by then. Once it is sanctioned by the United States, it will be a disaster for Huawei, and all the key nodes lie in chip manufacturing.

Mr. Ren hit the window sill hard with his hand, and he had made up his mind that no matter how much it cost or how much time it took, he would make up for the chip manufacturing process.

However, this cannot be done openly, because once it is done openly, it will encounter resistance from TSMC. Many of the chips currently used in Warwick's business are manufactured by TSMC.

Mr. Ren closed his eyes slightly, and a person flashed in his mind.

"Dad, it's time to go back!" Ms. Meng saw Mr. Ren thinking and couldn't help but remind her after a long time that the clock on the wall pointed to 2 a.m.

Mr. Ren is now almost 70 years old. Although his body is still strong, he is no longer as good as young people.

"Zhu'er, who do you think can blaze a trail in chip manufacturing in the company?" Mr. Ren suddenly said.

Ms. Meng was startled.

Zhu'er is Mr. Ren's affectionate name for Ms. Meng, but it's all in private. In the company, Mr. Ren emphasized the rules and never called her Zhuer. And she only dared to call Mr. Ren daddy at this time. At other times, she had to address him according to his position.

At this time, he actually called her Zhu'er.

"Dad, this road is not easy!" Ms. Meng couldn't help but said: "Even Zhang Rujing failed!"

"Yes, this road is not easy, but no matter how difficult it is, someone must take it!" Mr. Ren said: "I have focused on my career all my life and want to build Warwick into a company that can speak for itself in the world. I spend too little time with you!”

"Now we in Warwick have another strategic opportunity. As long as we grasp it well, we in Warwick will not be weaker than others." Mr. Ren said: "But be prepared for a rainy day and think about defeat before winning. We always have to make more preparations."

Ms. Meng's eyes were slightly red. She watched her father walk step by step with her own eyes. How difficult it was to walk in this life.

For the sake of his career, he lost his love life and his two marriages failed.

Even when she was a child, because her father was busy with his career and had no time to take care of her, she lived with her grandparents in her hometown in Guizhou, where she went to school and could not see her father several times a year.

But Ms. Meng is very sensible and can understand the difficulty of her father. Although she and her father are separated by a river, she understands her father and his love.

Seeing Mr. Ren's hair again, Ms. Meng felt even more guilty. If she were more capable, she would be able to help her father more.
