Volume Four, Section 67: Poems and Distances, Entrepreneurs and Merchants

He handed Sha Zhengyang a glass of red wine, and Duan Yongming signaled the two to go aside.

Today is a party inside Gaosheng Electronics, which is a small celebration after Gaosheng Electronics got on track.

The banquet was chosen at Wanzhou Hotel. Although the Hanjiang International Hotel was more suitable, Duan Yongming decided to entertain guests from all walks of life in the Wanzhou Hotel with a government nature.

In addition to some internal management personnel, it also includes several shareholders and some partners, such as channel dealers and supply chain leaders.

The shareholders, including Huafeng, the municipal government invited Deputy Mayor Chen Xiuqing, but Chen Xiuqing had to arrive a little later for some reason.

This kind of banquet, similar to a buffet cold dinner, looks quite cold now, but it is very free, without so much restraint, and you can also choose the person you talk to.

"How is it, is the information I provided accurate?" Sha Zhengyang knew what Duan Yongming wanted to say.

"Well, there are indeed great differences within Lenovo, but it seems that it is still within the controllable range."

Duan Yongming was very excited. Over the past month, Gaosheng Electronics has been on track, and the telephone project was first completed and put into production, and the momentum was also built. The channel construction was very smooth, which made him very satisfied.

"It will be decided soon. This kind of argument between different people and different parties will make the company worse. It is better to have a long pain than to have a short pain. It is better to make a wrong decision than not to make a decision." Sha Zhengyang shook his head, "This is a line dispute, and we must make a decision early."

"You have guessed the result?" Duan Yongming's words were a little curious.

"No doubt, didn't you guess the result too?" Sha Zhengyang smiled and said, "It's hard to say who is right or wrong. It's just that the personality and character are forced to make decisions that match your inner choices."

"Even if Lian wants to take the path of commercial assembly and production, it doesn't necessarily have to give up the path of technological research and development, right?" Duan Yongming asked a question that he knew the answer himself.

"You should also know how much investment in technology research and development is. For Lenovo now, it must focus on itself. Of course, the most important thing is that it has no confidence in continuing to engage in independent research and development. This is the key." Sha Zhengyang said lightly.

"Do you have confidence in this?" This is what Duan Yongming wanted to ask Sha Zhengyang.

He knew very well how much investment would be if he wanted to independently develop chips. Although he had not learned much about it before, he also obtained information through various channels during this period, analyzed and studied the industry, and realized the difficulty.

"Well, because I can see the future." Sha Zhengyang said a truth that no one would believe.

Duan Yongming laughed.

"This is a bit funny, but I am sincere." Sha Zhengyang continued: "The architecture of Lianhai Microelectronics Design Center has been built. The Chinese Academy of Sciences, Fudan University, and Changjiang Group are all interested. The key is Lenovo. This should be a commercial design center supported by the government. If you want to take the path of commercialization, you may invest a lot in the early stage and you can't even see the light, but I think it's worth it, and I believe you can see this too."

"Oh? Zhengyang, I'm a businessman." Duan Yongming replied intriguingly.

"No, the word businessman can only represent part of it. You should be an entrepreneur. I believe that an aspiring entrepreneur should do something and not do anything. If you are just a businessman who makes money, you will not leave Bawang Electronics." Sha Zhengyang responded.

"It's too difficult to be a simple entrepreneur." Duan Yongming thought about it.

"So you have to balance the standards of entrepreneurs and businessmen before, but I think being a good entrepreneur is the fundamental thing." Sha Zhengyang smiled, "You are not fighting alone. There are still some people in this world that can see the distance, and some people are willing to fight for their ideals."

Sha Zhengyang felt like a philosopher, constantly giving the other party a chicken soup for the soul.

Duan Yongming glanced at Sha Zhengyang deeply, and he felt as if he couldn't see through the person in front of him.

Sometimes this person is like an old and sophisticated bureaucrat, sometimes he is like a passionate idealist, and sometimes he is more like a master of business strategy. These different roles are mixed with such a young man who is only 25 years old, and it feels a bit inconsistent.

But if not for this, why would this guy convince himself to come to Wanzhou? Even at this time, many of his subordinates were puzzled by why they accepted such an invitation to Wanzhou, although they also admitted that the current situation was also very good.

"Zhengyang, I think you should have studied it carefully. The chip technology in the United States is basically invincible now. The gap between us and the other party cannot be determined by the Tao. It is very difficult to catch up with the Americans, and the chance of failure is very high." Duan Yongming said calmly.

"A Duan is afraid of challenges and failure? If there is no challenging work, how meaningful is it?" Sha Zhengyang asked back.

"I am not afraid of challenges. On the contrary, I am willing to accept challenges, but if there is no challenge with a chance of winning, I have to consider it." Duan Yongming ignored Sha Zhengyang's aggressive approach.

"Well, then A Duan, do you really feel that there is no chance of winning?" Sha Zhengyang smiled, "Enter dares to indulge in Amd existence. Doesn't we have any chance of challenging the whole country? We don't dare to challenge now, so what opportunities do we have in the future?"

Duan Yongming and Sha Zhengyang have discussed this issue many times, and their opinions have gradually become consistent. However, Duan Yongming is not like Sha Zhengyang and cannot see that far from the future prospects, so Sha Zhengyang also strives to arouse Duan Yongming's confidence through description and outline.

"Zhengyang, the power of the whole country is exaggerating. Haven't you always emphasized that this is a business behavior?" Duan Yongming asked back.

"Relying solely on the power of the government, you cannot make a commercial product well. Only under the business rules can you truly make market-oriented products. However, government procurement is still part of market behavior. We should strive for this to support commercialization." Sha Zhengyang shook his head, "It is not a real market economy to stick to this point too much. The US government also has government procurement, and will give priority to domestic products in specific fields."

"The question is, can we win the support of this part of the government?" Duan Yongming expressed deep doubts.

"A Duan, we have never based ourselves on the hope that the national government will give us much support. Our idea can only be based on ourselves. The IC industry is quite large and there are many categories. For example, low-end chip design is mainly used for smart chips in home appliances. The design difficulty is much lower, and it is also extremely broad for our domestic market."

Sha Zhengyang Energy understood Duan Yongming's concerns. After all, the other party and his team members spent tens of millions of dollars in Gaosheng Electronics. They rashly entered the chip design and manufacturing field that seemed to them clearly seemed to be a risk or even a bit like Tang Jikede's approach. The risk is indeed very high. He must dispel these concerns of the other party.

"To be honest, even if we cannot compete with Intel and Amd companies in mid-to-high-end chip design, the various mcu processors needed by home appliances, radio frequency chips in mobile phones and base stations have relatively low requirements for design and manufacturing. At least we should have our own voice in this area, and the profits in these areas are relatively generous. When we can make some achievements in these areas, it may be able to support our pursuit of mid-to-high-end chips."

Duan Yongming moved slightly.

Seeing that the other party was a little moved, Sha Zhengyang further said: "A Duan, otherwise, I know your concerns, but I have put a lot of effort into this point and have been paying attention to Lianhai Microelectronics Design Center for a long time. From Lenovo, Fudan Microelectronics Center and Changjiang Group's talent reserves, Fudan Microelectronics Center is actually Fudan's integrated circuit and system laboratory. These talents are enough to support such a chip design center."

"So my first shot is the mpeg decoding chip. I believe that the Microelectronics Design Center can solve this technical problem in a short time and provide us with this confidence and support. I believe that after taking this step, you will have some confidence, right?" Sha Zhengyang said.

Duan Yongming smiled bitterly, "Zhengyang, you have said this to this extent, what else can I say? If I, Duan Yongming, don't dare to take a gamble at this level, just stop running a business. Tell me, what are you going to do?"

"Well, I have a preliminary idea that Huafeng, Dongfanghong and Gaosheng jointly invested to replace Lenovo and took over Lianhai Microelectronics Center. The talent and technical reserves originally affiliated with Lenovo can be converted into shares by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Fudan University and Changjiang Group can also be retained, which will help the company open up the market in Hujiang in the future."

Sha Zhengyang seemed very confident, and obviously he had considered this point clearly for a long time.

"Dongfanghong is going to join too?" Duan Yongming was slightly surprised.

"Sanyo Ruos Electric is a holding company of Dongfanghong. The demand for home appliance chips will not be small in the future. It will only be beneficial to enter the upstream field in advance." Sha Zhengyang explained, "What, is it an accident?"

"Of course it's good. Welcome, but how do you calculate the amount and proportion of investment?" Duan Yongming was even more sure. It would be much easier to deal with the big fund owner Dongfanghong. He was just worried that Gaosheng Electronics would have a gap in funding, but he didn't expect that Sha Zhengyang had no intention of letting Gaosheng Electronics bear too much.

"Dongfanghong invested 60 million, Huafeng invested 20 million, and Gaosheng Electronics invested 20 million, how about it? As for the share ratio issue, it still needs to be discussed with the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Fudan and Changjiang Group, but if there is a gap, Dongfanghong can also consider increasing the capital." Sha Zhengyang said firm and confident.
