Not long after Li Ze arrived at the company, the director arrived at Zerun Technology.
There were also quite a number of accompanying personnel.
"Li, don't be nervous. I came here to take a look mainly because I heard that the MP3 player from Zerun Technology was sold to the United States.”
"And the sales are quite good?"
The director said with a kind smile.
"I didn't expect you to pay attention to our Zerun Technology," Li Ze quickly replied. At present, our company's two MP3 products are indeed performing well in the US market.”
"As of last month, Zerun Technology's two MP3 players have shipped more than 400,000 units in the United States. Realized US market revenue of more than 110 million USD…"
Li Ze briefly introduced Zerun Technology's sales and revenue in the US market.
"That's right." The director nodded slightly. It seems that Zerun Technology is indeed an outstanding domestic private enterprise.”
"In the current market environment, Zerun Technology is second to none to be able to sell electronic products like MP3 players to the US market and achieve such impressive results!”
"You flatter me!"
Li Zeqian said.
The director chuckled and suddenly changed the topic."I heard that the two MP3 players from Zerun Technology are basically made from parts from well-known foreign manufacturers?”
"The prices of the parts from these big manufacturers shouldn't be low, right?”
Hearing this, Li Ze was slightly startled as he pondered over the other party's meaning.
Since he said that, there must be a hidden meaning in his words.
"The price is not low," Li Ze replied cautiously. However, we have no choice. Many of the components are not up to the technical level of domestic manufacturers. We can only purchase parts from foreign manufacturers.”
The director nodded slightly and suddenly glanced at someone behind him.
"I wonder if you've heard of Xiaxing Microelectronics, Li?" This is a semiconductor chip R D and manufacturing company established under the leadership of our factory department two years ago.”
"At present, Xiaxing Microelectronics has some research and development results, and it has a strong technical research and development team. I can consider cooperating with Xiaxing Microelectronics on a trial basis based on the chip used in your MP3 player!”
"Of course, you two companies can discuss the details yourself. It just so happens that Xiao Deng is here today, so you can have a good exchange…"
The other party's choice of words was rather conservative. It was just an expression of intention, and there was no coercion in it.
Li Ze finally understood the purpose of the director's visit to Zerun Technology today.
The main purpose was probably to help Xiaxing Microelectronics build a bridge and promote cooperation between the two parties.
As expected, after the director finished speaking, the person behind him could not help but step forward and extend his hand to Li Ze with a smile."Hello, CEO Li. I'm Deng Han, the chairman of Xiaxing Microelectronics. I'm honored to have the opportunity to meet you here today.”
"I've long heard of Zerun Technology under President Li's name. Your company's two MP3 products are very innovative. No wonder you can be so successful in the US market…"
Hearing this, Li Ze hurriedly shook hands with the other party politely and said,"Chairman Deng, you flatter me."
At this moment, Li Ze suddenly heard his son Li Dong's voice in his mind…
Li Ze had specially received the director in his office and asked his son, Li Dong, to wait in a corner to see if he could get any useful information out of his son.
Xia Xing Microelectronics? He didn't expect the other party to find his father through a big shot in the letter factory department, but it wasn't difficult to understand. After all, Xiaxing Microelectronics was the largest shareholder of the company.
I remember that Deng Han's team only holds 35% of the shares. This company's research and development capabilities were indeed very strong, especially in the next few years.
It seemed to be the first chip company in China to successfully list on the US's Nasdaq-listed stock market. At the peak of its research and development, it seemed to have occupied about 60% of the global market share.
Unfortunately, Xiaxing Microelectronics made a wrong judgment on the development path of the chip industry. They insisted on a multi-chip research and development strategy and ignored the actual needs of the mobile product market. They were replaced by integrated single-chip products and left far behind...
However, Xiaxing Microelectronics 'research and development capabilities were indeed strong. After the adjustment and transformation, they invested in the research and development of security and artificial intelligence chips.
If Xiaxing Microelectronics had not misjudged the chip demand in the mobile product market and had also turned to the integrated single-chip route.
With their research and development capabilities, coupled with their market share of 60% in the global market at that time, they probably wouldn't have had the success of the hair department…
Hearing his son's inner thoughts, Li Ze couldn't help but look at the person called Deng Han in front of him in surprise.
He did not expect Xia Xing Microelectronics to be so awesome in the future!
From the looks of it, it was not impossible to cooperate with the other party.
Deng Han seemed to have noticed the sudden change in Li Ze's expression. He could not help but be stunned and confused.
It felt a little strange.
However, at this moment, Li Ze had already let go of the other party's hand and said with a smile,"If Xiaxing Microelectronics can really come up with a chip that meets the needs of our two MP3 products, cooperation is naturally possible.”
This sentence set the tone for the cooperation between the two sides.
It showed that Zerun Technology was not against cooperating with Xiaxing Microelectronics.
When Deng Han heard this, he was instantly delighted.
Xiaxing Microelectronics had only been established for less than two years. Although there were some research and development results, it was in urgent need of opening up the market.
The sales of Zerun Technology's two MP3 products were not low, especially since they had successfully established themselves in the US market.
If he could cooperate with Zerun Technology, it would be of great help to Xiaxing Microelectronics.
"Thank you, President Li. Then let's talk about it in detail later?"
Deng Han suppressed the joy in his heart and said.
"Alright!"
Li Ze nodded.
At this moment, he recalled his son's inner thoughts.
He wondered if there was a chance to invest in Xiaxing Microelectronics now. If his father could invest in Xiaxing Microelectronics, it would be of great help to the development of Zerun Technology in the future.
After all, whether it was the MP3 player made by Zerun Technology now or guiding his father into the field of smart phones in the future, they could not do without the support of the semiconductor industry.
Moreover, if his father became a shareholder of Xiaxing Microelectronics, he could use his father to guide the development strategy of Xiaxing Microelectronics and carry out integrated single-chip research and development, directly cutting off the path of the hair department!
Besides, I'm a reborn person, even though I didn't start my own business.
However, with my guidance, my dad's company will only be a smart phone 'assembly factory' in the future. He won't have his own technology patents. If he doesn't promote the development of the domestic semiconductor industry, then I, a reborn person, will be a failure...
Even if they couldn't reach Xia Wei's level, they couldn't be worse than the Blue and Green Factory, right? As for the coarse grain certified by the US company…just go where you should go!
Oh right, other than Xiaxing Microelectronics, there were also Central International, BOE, and other semiconductor companies. He could also find an opportunity to hint his father to see if he could invest in these semiconductor companies.
Although it was still too early for these semiconductor companies to really rise, it was still necessary to lay out in advance. Moreover, after becoming a shareholder of these companies, he could exert some influence on these semiconductor companies.
It would allow them to take fewer detours and perhaps rise earlier. It would even allow China's semiconductor industry to avoid being choked by the US in the future...
Li Dong muttered a lot of things in his heart and mentioned the names of quite a few semiconductor companies.
Li Ze listened to everything in his mind and noted it down.
He planned to take notes of this information later so that he wouldn't forget it in the future.
In addition, Li Dong had mentioned the matter of investing in Xiaxing Microelectronics. Li Ze also decided to mention it to Deng Han later to test his reaction.
It would be best if he could invest in it.
It just so happened that he had asked Sun Ting to register a Zerun Investment Company. He could use Zerun Investment to hold shares.
While Li Ze was thinking, the big boss of the letter factory saw that Li Ze had also expressed his intention to cooperate with Xiaxing Microelectronics. He smiled and said,""I won't get involved in the cooperation between your two companies.”
"I have some work to do, so I'll leave first. You guys can discuss it yourselves…"
After saying that, the big shot immediately stood up and left.
Li Ze hurriedly sent him off…
He returned to the office.
Li Ze immediately started discussing the cooperation with Deng Han.
However, the two of them only had a rough idea.
To be more specific, he had to get Xiaxing Microelectronics to bring the chip over to Zerun Technology's product research and development department for testing. It had to meet the requirements.
The two of them did not discuss the price in detail.
This was because it was not the time to talk about this. In addition, there was no need for the leaders of the two companies to personally talk about this.
They only needed to confirm the foundation of the cooperation and leave the rest to the people below to negotiate.
Seeing that the conversation was almost over, Li Ze glanced at his son, Li Dong, who was sitting in the corner of the office and whispering to Jiang Yuxuan.
"Chairman Deng, I actually think we can deepen our cooperation.”
"Oh? What exactly was Boss Li referring to?”
Deng Han asked curiously.
Li Ze smiled." Because Zerun Technology is in the electronic products industry. In the future, Zerun Technology will continue to develop electronic products."”
"There might even be more product lines.”
" And this requires the use of various types of chips. I have considered investing in the chip and other semiconductor industries before, but unfortunately, on the one hand, there was a lot of financial pressure at that time.”
"In addition, there are no talents or connections in this area. In short, there is no way to invest.”
"It just so happens that your company's visit this time has allowed me to see an opportunity to set foot in this field and carry out industrial layout. I just wonder if your company is still lacking in funds?”
"If possible, I would like to invest in your company…"
Upon hearing Li Ze's words, Deng Han could not help but be stunned. He looked at Li Ze in surprise.
He didn't expect Li Ze to want to invest in Xiaxing Microelectronics.
Li Dong, who was in the corner, naturally heard Li Ze's words. He could not help but raise his head to take a look, revealing a hint of surprise.
His father wanted to invest in Xiaxing Microelectronics and lay out the layout of the semiconductor industry? Damn, dad's foresight…is really far-sighted! I wanted to wait for Deng Han to leave before giving Dad a hint.
Now, it seemed that there was no need for that…
Hearing his son's inner thoughts, Li Ze laughed secretly, but his expression remained unchanged. He looked at Deng Han with a smile and waited for his reply.
Deng Han had actually noticed Li Dong looking over.
However, Li Ze had already introduced them to his son and cousin. Since they didn't mind their presence, Deng Han naturally didn't think much of it.
After all, Li Ze was the host and he was the guest.
As the saying goes, guests follow the host.
Regarding Li Ze's proposal to invest in Xiaxing Microelectronics, Deng Han pondered for a moment and said,""Director Li, this matter is not impossible. However, he still had to ask the factory department for the details.”
"After all, the letter factory department is the company's major shareholder and holds 65% of the shares. My team only holds 35% of the shares.”
"In addition, the letter factory department requires absolute control. Therefore, even if they are willing to accept your investment, I'm afraid they won't be able to get too many shares.”
" CEO Li, please understand…"
"Of course!" Li Ze smiled. After all, Xiaxing Microelectronics was a company founded by the Information Factory Department. It was only natural for them to demand absolute control.”
"The reason why I want to invest in Xiaxing Microelectronics is to make some arrangements in the semiconductor industry in advance. It's fine to have fewer shares.”
"Yes."
Deng Han nodded and smiled."If CEO Li is really willing to invest in our Xiaxing Microelectronics, I would naturally be more than happy to do so.”
"To be honest, researching and developing semiconductor chips is really expensive. When the company was first established, the letter factory department only invested 10 million yuan.”
"My team invested purely in technology. Over the past year, we've spent a lot of money. If we can have President Li's capital injection, we can be much more relaxed..."
"Then I wonder if Director Deng can ask the letter factory department if they are willing to accept my investment?" Li Ze asked.”
"Of course," Deng Han smiled and said. I'll help you ask around when we get back.”
"If the letter factory department agrees, I'm afraid you'll have to discuss the specifics with the letter factory department…"
"No problem! Then I'll have to trouble Director Deng."
"Hehe, President Li, you're too polite. I'm just trying to pull the strings and build a bridge.”
Deng Han acted quickly. Not long after he left Zerun Technology, he called Li Ze that afternoon.
He said that he had asked the big boss of the letter factory who had come to Zerun Technology for an inspection today. The other party had stated that they could accept Li Ze's investment in Xiaxing Microelectronics in principle.
As for the exact number of shares to be sold, he would get someone to come to Zerun Technology in the next two days to discuss it with Li Ze.
Li Ze thanked Deng Han over the phone and heaved a sigh of relief.
Since that big shot had spoken, there shouldn't be any problems.
It was just about how many shares he could get from Xiaxing Microelectronics and the valuation of Xiaxing Microelectronics.
Two days later.
As expected, the people from the Xinchang Department came to Zerun Technology to discuss the matter of investing in Xiaxing Microelectronics with Li Ze.
After a round of negotiations.
In the end, the two sides reached a cooperation deal.
The letter factory department sold 10% of Xiaxing Microelectronics 'shares to Li Ze for 28 million.
This bit of money was nothing to Li Ze.
It was just a drizzle.
After settling the matter of Xiaxing Microelectronics shares, Li Ze felt much more relaxed.
He had finally taken the first step in the layout of the semiconductor industry.
Of course, Li Ze didn't forget what he heard from his son about the strategic deviation in Xiaxing Microelectronics 'development in the future.
However, it was still too early for this matter. Li Ze had already noted it down.
When the time came, he could just correct the development direction of Xiaxing Microelectronics as a shareholder…
"In the next few days, get someone to investigate the current situation of the domestic semiconductor industry and which semiconductor companies are there. When the time comes, I'll use the name of Zerun Investment to contact the few semiconductor companies that Xiao Dong mentioned..."
"However, before that, we still have to recruit people first and set up the framework of Zerun Investment Company and Zerun Holding Group. Well, it was not good to let Sun Ting be in charge of the recruitment of Zerun Investment and Zerun Holding Group.”
"After all, Zerun Technology isn't my company alone now, and as the vice president of Zerun Technology, it's not appropriate for Sun Ting to do this for me.”
"Previously, I asked her to register a company and ask Shanghai to apply for land to build a headquarters building. It wasn't troublesome and wouldn't affect her normal work.”
"But with the two companies, Zerun Investment and Zerun Holding Group, there are a lot of people who need to be recruited. It's impossible for Sun Ting to spend so much time and energy screening resumes, conducting interviews, and so on…"
"Let Shen Qianru handle it. It's the interview for the senior management position of the two companies. I'll just interview together then. Anyway, I own 100% of Legend of Mir 2.”
" There's no such thing as 'using public tools for private use.' It won't cause any opinions or dissatisfaction from the other shareholders…"
Thinking of this, Li Ze got up and went downstairs to Legend of Mir 2…
