Chapter 889: News From the Alliance

The news from Zhang Rujing made Fang Zhuo unable to recover for two days.

First of all, he was more vigilant.

As far as he knew, the last settlement between SMIC and Taiji resulted in a compensation of 175 million US dollars, and a patent licensing agreement was signed. Moreover, SMIC's subsequent 90nm technology was introduced from the Belgian Microelectronics Center and Texas Instruments.

However, Taiji tore up the settlement agreement this time, and the litigation process was advanced quite quickly.

Fang Zhuo talked to Zhang Rujing after learning that Taiji won the case last time, and believed that such a lawsuit result was likely to bring a series of impacts, and he suspected that the referee was biased.

This time, if Taiji succeeded in achieving its goal, SMIC would undoubtedly fall into decline.

Zhang Rujing was to SMIC what Fang Zhuo was to Bingxin, or even more important.

It was difficult for Fang Zhuo not to connect the various situations in the past, present, and future, and then be vigilant about the actions of Taiji and the United States.

From the current perspective, although Bingxin has mass production of 65nm and has international big customers such as Qualcomm and NVIDIA, the United States, which is busy dealing with the subprime crisis and elections, has not shown much attention.

Fang Zhuo does not know whether Bingxin's stable development can be maintained until the end of the small Ao, but there should be a lot of room for maneuver during this period. However, if Bingxin has any mistakes, I believe that the other side will be happy to go with the flow.

Secondly, taking advantage of the upcoming money in hand, Fang Zhuo plans to further increase investment in the domestic semiconductor industry, and the first thing to bear the brunt is the training of the engineering team.

Bingxin has been absorbing talents from home and abroad, but the talents of friendly companies and foreign countries are not endless, and there are many insurmountable obstacles. In this regard, it is ultimately necessary to rely on the entire industry in the mainland and have a training system that can always persist.

In recent years, Bingxin has connected with all domestic universities with semiconductor-related majors, and this strength can continue to increase.

Finally, if SMIC has problems, Bingxin will definitely be given more attention by the leaders, which has been confirmed.

Fang Zhuo believes that once Mr. Zhang is really fired, he should use this shock to talk to the higher-ups about industry issues, including but not limited to the Ice Core Wafer Manufacturing Service Alliance, and play a greater role.

The higher-ups should also immediately increase their attention to the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain.

Time waits for no one, so we must seize the day.

On April 15, the business of Yike Company diluted Fang Zhuo's slightly depressed mood.

As the news about Zhang Rujing's phone call was still under discussion, he digested it in his heart and did not discuss it with anyone.

On this day, LG officially announced that its sales exceeded 1 million units.

This is the result it achieved in the two markets of the United States and South Korea.

Regardless of the reputation in the media and on the Internet, the LG touch-screen phone equipped with the Symbian system has also shown a posture of adapting to the trend.

One and a half months, 1 million units.

LG did not adopt the pre-sale accumulation method like Mars, so this result is quite impressive.

With this news, Yike held a meeting, one to discuss LG, two to warm up the domestic market, and three to conduct internal analysis and study on ars2.

"LG only talked about sales, but not the proportion of the two markets. It's like we started selling in China, so it must be more sold in China."

"However, this one million is indeed a bit unexpected. We need to observe LG's trend in the next month and see how LG and Apple are entangled."

"Of course, we also need to look at the patent lawsuit we filed against LG this month."

Fang Zhuo personally talked about his feelings about LG.

It has to be said that the sales volume announced by LG made him feel that he had underestimated well-known manufacturers in the past.

Therefore, in order to correct his cognition, Yike also had to follow suit to initiate patent lawsuits and learn from the experience of Korean manufacturers. After all, LG and Samsung are both Korean factions. Samsung can have such a long-term lawsuit with Apple, so LG must have some talent.

When the meeting started to talk about the progress of domestic listing, the atmosphere became much more solemn.

After Liu Qiangdong took over the development of the domestic mobile phone business, he devoted all his energy to actively promoting cooperation with operators.

Yike is a listed company with a complicated situation. Although its headquarters is in Shanghai, its current business focus is abroad.

Liu Qiangdong had contact with the elite team dispatched by Yike when he was working at Yiguo offline electrical appliances. He knew that there were different factions within Yike, including those who went abroad and came back to take up positions, those who have been with Mr. Fang, those who have been going back and forth between Yike and Yiguo, and even those who were transferred from the medical field...

Among them, there are technical factions, market factions, personnel factions, European and American factions, and local factions... Because Mr. Yu built the market team, Mr. Su has been in charge of personnel for a long time, and the technical team has moved...

In short, Liu Qiangdong soon realized that the position he held was difficult in various senses.

Even with Mr. Fang's personal assignment, the intentional or unintentional alienation and the difficulty in convincing the public in terms of qualifications were clearly reflected in his mind.

Then, Liu Qiangdong quickly understood the boss's spirit and decided not to care about this faction or that faction, not to care about the warmth and coldness of human feelings, not to care about the open and secret attacks, and to concentrate on the progress of business.

It was also while Mr. Fang was in charge of the country that Liu Qiangdong actively went to the boss twice with small matters and got the chicken feathers and arrows, so he was able to carry out his work quite smoothly.

There was no other way. The airborne faction without direct lineage could only suppress various problems by development.

Today is a small node for Liu Qiangdong to report his work, which can be regarded as a small achievement display.

"These days, I call Mr. Kang of China Unicom on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday, contact Mr. Liu on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, and send work emails to Chang Zhangmen on Sunday."

"I don't know if Chang Zhangmen has seen it, but the reply from China Unicom is to try our best to promote the domestic sales of Mars mobile phones in August and try our best to let consumers get Mars during the Olympic Games."

Liu Qiangdong first talked about the results in terms of time, and then talked about the difficulties of operators: "China Unicom has decided to merge with Netcom, and it is confirmed to be WCDMA, but Netcom is a listed company and has to go through the delisting process. No matter how much China Unicom promotes it, it will take time."

"The issuance of 3G licenses in China may not be until the end of the year. China Unicom means that it can promote nominal trial models in several major cities in August, which is actually normal sales with a certain degree of strength."

This is actually a reference to China Mobile's 3G trial and commercial plan for launching TD-SCDMA.

On the 1st of this month, China Mobile released TD-SCDMA pre-commercial numbers in eight cities, including Beijing, Tianjin, Lin'an, Yangcheng, and Shanghai. It is said that each city has tens of thousands of quotas.

China Unicom is willing to promote cooperation with Yike Mobile in this way. Considering factors at all levels, this is not an easy task.

Liu Qiangdong did not take credit, nor did he elaborate on the difficulties in the process. He just said with a grateful tone: "This is not easy. Fortunately, China Unicom still agreed. We can now make a sales plan for August."

Fang Zhuo, who had been listening silently, took the lead in applauding. Compared with others, he knew more about the complexity of 3G standards and licenses. Moreover, it was not easy for him to promote it, but the people below did not have to worry so much.

In an instant, the conference room was full of warm applause.

No matter how Liu Qiangdong, who came in from the air, did, Yike Mobile finally got the accurate time to go on the market in China when the second generation was about to be released.

In August this year, Zhonglian came out.
