After the ceremony, everyone got into the car to cross the river.
When he came over, Wang Haisu followed, and the car was parked outside the parking lot; When leaving, it was still necessary to let the cars of ministries and commissions, municipal officials and Japanese representatives go first. Wang Haisu sat in the car and watched cars rush out ahead of him.
At this time, Wang Haisu noticed that the factory opposite was the STN LCD production base of Jinhu. He started the car, followed the team to the second bridge, turned to the bridge deck of the second bridge, and saw a corner of the Zhongjing microchip Xinpu factory in the rearview mirror. Looking at the team in front, there were few cars behind him, But anyway, it''s finally squeezed into this circle and really manipulated the world behind its back.
The mobile phone lost on the dashboard rang. Wang Haisu took it to see that it was Lin Xue''s phone.
"You accompany me to the airport to see people off. Chizuo xiuzang didn''t leave Jianye today. Just now his secretary called me and said he would meet at night..."
Although Jianye is a city that should never be friendly to RB, the RB people who lived in Jianye for a short time in 1999 exceeded 12000 all year round. There are many Japanese restaurants and clubs in Changqing lane at the northeast corner of Xinshi street.
Japanese taverns and clubs here usually only receive RB people or guests invited by RB people. Xie Jiannan got out of the car in front of Sendai tavern and asked the driver to park far away. He walked into the tavern and watched the naked ladies crowding on the inside of the entrance to greet them in poor Japanese. He frowned.
"Sorry, Chinese people are not accepted here..." the manager seemed to see through Xie Jiannan''s identity and ran to stop him from entering.
Xie Jiannan wanted to turn around and leave. Compared with RB people, the faces of these Chinese people were more disgusting. He took a breath and slowly said, "I''m the guest invited by Chi Zuo..." he deliberately ignored the honorific words.
"Ah, it''s Mr. chizo''s guest," said the manager eagerly again. "I''ll show you..."
Xie Jiannan took off his shoes in the peace room. During this time, he looked at the people who had been seated in the peace room. Lin Xue, Wang Haisu, Zhou Xingdong, general manager of Huaxia Electronics South company, and Yan Wenjie were also there. No one saw him at the ceremony during the day, and he didn''t know when he came to Jianye; As for RB people, ikezuo xiuzang, Ozawa Xiong of NEC and Yuzhi Nakamura of Sony are all old faces. Ikezuo xiuzang didn''t hurry to leave Jianye, but stayed to entertain everyone. It was really confusing. Xie Jiannan came in and said, "I''ve been delayed temporarily..."
"Then let''s start." chizuo xiuzang clapped his hands. From behind the curtain inside the house, a row of girls in kimonos came in. They went to each other and sat down, greeted them in broken Japanese and helped pour the wine.
Xie Jiannan held the wine cup to his mouth, sipped the tasteless RB sake, looked at the people sitting opposite, and thought: are they all frightened by the possible cooperation between Jinhu and Microsoft?
In 1997, Jinhu took out $4 billion from its disc player business by backdoor listing in Hong Kong. It is through these $4 billion that Jinhu has developed into today''s Jinhu that Asian electronics giants feel a threat. If it were not for the backdoor listing of the disc player business, it would take at least six or seven years to save up to $4 billion by relying solely on the hematopoietic capacity of the disc player business.
Now it is generally predicted that about 30% of the shares of Kunteng online will be listed and transferred to ess or Jinhu in North America. At this time, the market value of Kunteng online on NASDAQ will exceed US $1.2 billion. These shares will pass the sales restriction period in more than a month, which means that Jinhu will have more cash of US $3.4 billion in more than one month.
Now it is said that Jinhu may get $900 million in cash from Microsoft. It is really incredible.
Xie Jiannan looked at Zhou Xingdong. The dandy who came to Jianye from the capital frowned. What was he thinking?
In order to survive, Kewang was forced to accept the capital injection from NEC and Huaxia electronics. Zhou Xingdong also served as the director of Kewang on behalf of Huaxia electronics. The hostess was present. According to the usual practice, everyone only drank and talked about the wind and moon, not about anything else.
Xie Jiannan really can''t figure out why Huaxia NEC is in a hurry to put into production. The external market environment is so bad. The production of Huaxia NEC without core intellectual property rights means a huge loss. The internal market provided by Jinhu is also the source of Zhongjing microchip
Zhou Xingdong saw Xie Jiannan looking at himself. He didn''t know what he was thinking. He reluctantly smiled and raised his glass to toast him.
The technology transfer agreement between Zhongjing microchip and Deyi has always been the focus of attention. Huaxia electronics is eager to promote the production of Huaxia NEC. In addition to chizuo xiuzang and others'' commitment to solve the order problems for Huaxia NEC, the main reason is here. When the agreement between Zhongjing microchip and Deyi passes the review of the U.S. authorities, it means that the technical blockade is broken again, and it will not be difficult for Huaxia NEC to obtain the technology of the same specification from RB. At that time, it will be obvious who the central government will favor between Zhongjing microchip and Huaxia NEC because Zhongjing microchip has the technology of Deyi and Huaxia NEC has the technology of NEC or other Japanese enterprises.
Therefore, Huaxia NEC must be put into production, otherwise there will be no excuse to compete for preferential policy resources from the hands of Zhongjing microchip.
In the absence of the central government''s policy preference, even if the SMIC obtains the technology of Deyi, where can it raise funds to build a new plant?
Although the chip market is sluggish, powerful chip manufacturers in Europe and the United States are expanding their production capacity in the low tide, which continues to increase the price of wafer manufacturing equipment. In 1997, Zhongjing microchip invested in a 12 inch wafer factory and six production lines, and $1 billion was enough; By this year, only four production lines can be built for $1 billion.
At one time, Zhongjing microchip obtains two generations of technology from Deyi. It costs US $2 billion to build eight lines and US $3 billion to build twelve lines.
Without the central government''s policy preference, the local governments in Donghai province can''t do much to support Jinhu.
In 1998, the total lending scale of Donghai province was less than 70 billion yuan, and there are too many places that need financing support. Even if there is spare power, it will first cooperate with Jiangnan province to support the 10 million ton steel industry base project of Dongshan port - the 10 million ton steel industry base is a super project that needs more than 5 billion US dollars. According to the merger agreement between Donghai United iron and Steel Group and Dongshan iron and steel, the construction of 10 million ton iron and steel industry base will also eat up Jinhu''s $1 billion capital reserve.
No matter how strong Jinhu is, it also has weaknesses in financing. It is with such a mind that Huaxia electronics has to push Huaxia NEC into production. Unfortunately, no matter how clever the calculation is, it can''t keep up with the changes of the situation. Ge Jiande is going back to Beijing today according to the established plan. Instead, he personally ordered Zhou Xingdong to meet chizuo xiuzang, Yan Wenjie and others to see if there is any way to contain the golden lake. If the golden lake continues to be so beautiful, their life will be more and more sad.
Zhou Xingdong also knows why Yan Wenjie is sitting here. The construction of Xinting ten million ton iron and steel industry base directly forms a strong competition with Hongxin Wenzhou iron and steel group. Yan Wenjie hopes to see Jinhu fall into the mire of lack of funds and directly drag the ten million ton iron and steel industry base to a standstill.
It is really shocking that Jinhu could extort 900 million US dollars from Microsoft.
Yan Wenjie was not only surprised that Jinhu dared to offer Microsoft $900 million, but also thought that this also proved that the new science and technology economy has great potential in capital operation.
Who could have thought that the market value of Kunteng online, which has been operating at a loss, could soar to $1.2 billion on Nasdaq, and that the market value of Amazon, which has been operating at a loss, could soar to $30 billion? Compared with Amazon''s market value, Jinhu''s $900 million offer doesn''t seem too outrageous.
Yan Wenjie was thinking: are they going to take a small step now?
Kewang high tech bought a 12 storey office building built by Kerry Real Estate on the south side of Hudong apartment complex, the north side of the administrative center of high tech Zone and the East Bank of Yangui Lake as a whole as the new R & D center of Kewang high tech in Jianye.
From the R & D center, there is a long and narrow lakeside green belt along the lake. You can walk back to Yanyuan in seven or eight minutes.
In Jianye, Chen Jing likes to take the lakeside green belt to walk to the company, and then walk back to Yanyuan from the company. At night, the moonlight is light, and the leisure green space near the lake in the southeast of Yanyuan is quiet. Walking in it, she feels more freehand.
"Does Jinhu really offer Microsoft $900 million?" under the moonlight, Chen Jing stared at Zhang Ke.
"Microsoft is strong and fat. If you don''t open your mouth and bite, you''re not sorry for Uncle Bill?" Zhang Ke said with a smile.
"..." Chen Jing smiled and said, "it''s really a way to rob money without you."
"Asking exorbitant prices, sitting on the ground to pay back... Doing something makes some people run out and make a fuss. Who can believe that Microsoft really agrees with our offer?" Zhang Ke said.
"You don''t have confidence yourself?" Chen Jing''s head tilted slightly. In front of Zhang Ke, it seems unnecessary to converge the posture of a little woman. In the dark night, her eyes are clear and charming, and her lips are also shining with delicate luster.
"This confidence depends on what aspect," Zhang Ke smiled. "From our position, it is indeed the lion''s big mouth. In addition, there are many people who think of bad things behind them, and the hope of blackmail success is really slim; but how many people will consider it from Uncle Bill''s position?"
"Uncle Bill?" Chen Jing couldn''t help chuckling as Zhang Ke called Bill Gates. She thought that this middle-aged uncle, as the richest man in the world and in control of the world''s most valuable technology enterprise with the highest market value, said, "what would Uncle Bill think of him?"
"Some economists are writing to call for vigilance against the serious bubble problem in the new technology economy such as the Internet. There should be a corresponding assessment within Microsoft. If Bill Gates is the one who easily blows his mind to the new technology bubble, Microsoft will not have today''s hegemony," Zhang Ke said. "Microsoft chose this opportunity to enter the Internet paid music market and the digital music player hardware market. Guess what they were thinking?"
When someone passed by, Chen Jing gave way and got closer to Zhang Ke, so she was not willing to give way again. She could almost feel the hot air from his nose and his lips itching. Unfortunately, many people came out for a walk at this time, so she could only talk about things seriously and said with a smile: "A giant with a net profit of $8 billion a year. How can I guess what''s on my mind? If I guess, I guess $900 million is too drizzle for Microsoft..."
The tide of new technology is surging. Microsoft''s market value has soared from $120 billion in early 1998 to $290 billion now. Compared with Microsoft''s astronomical market value, it seems that it is really inconspicuous.
Zhang Ke smiled. His eyes fell on Chen Jingxiu''s straight nose. He stretched out his hand to hold her hand. He had not yet reached it. From the corner, a couple walking by the lake at night came out. He raised his hand, touched his nose, held it in front of his chest and said: "Microsoft''s entire product system is basically in a closed application environment. Microsoft''s business tools and software can only be applied under the windows system. For example, web browsers and online businesses, including MSN, can only be regarded as derivative businesses outside the core products. At this time, they enter the Internet paid music market and digital music player hardware There are only two market intentions, either to use the market advantages of windows system to develop derivative products for profit, or to develop new products to consolidate the strong position of windows system in the current market; it is unlikely to suddenly break through the original closed application environment and enter a new market field... "
Chen Jing slightly tilted her head and asked, "do you judge that the Internet paid music market and the digital music player hardware market can promote Microsoft to strengthen the monopoly position of windows system?"
"It should be possible," Zhang Ke nodded and said, "In the field of network audio, MP3 audio format occupies an absolutely strong position. Although we know that this audio format is not the best solution, it is not so easy for anyone to develop a new audio format to replace it. In addition to user habits, many interest groups have been gathered in MP3 audio format. I think even if Microsoft wants to promote the new audio format, it will be very popular For difficulties... "
"..." Chen Jing''s eyes lit up, reached out and gently covered her lips. Then she understood what Zhang Ke meant. She swayed and smiled, took her tail finger and scratched the hair on her temples behind her ears, "In the afternoon, sitting there with Zijia was boring, thinking about how the 30% equity of global music online was worth $900 million. We were thinking that paying users had to pay 99 cents for every song downloaded from global music websites... Of which 60 cents had to be paid to the producer, and the remaining 39 cents even had a net income of 20 cents. At a price earnings ratio of 30 times, global music websites sold 500 million songs every year Songs are worth the price. Based on the average purchase of 50 songs per year by each paying user, global music websites need to develop at least 10 million paying users... Alas, "Chen Jing sighed with a smile and said," grab the money for you... "
The scale of paying users of global music websites is still far from one million. Even if the growth space is huge, the price of 30% equity is $900 million, which is indeed too much. However, after Jinhu bundled the hardware sales of iPlayer with global music online, it is actually possible to develop new audio formats in the field of Internet paid music and completely replace the strength of MP3 Status. Internet resources have always been flowing from the paid field to the free field. As long as they occupy the high point of global music websites, it is not unimaginable that new audio formats dominate the whole Internet field.
Not to mention the huge patent fees, a widely accepted audio format and related playback software form a closed application environment with Microsoft Windows system, which can undoubtedly further consolidate the monopoly position of Microsoft Windows system in the global personal computer and commercial computer market.
It all comes from Jinhu''s pioneering creation of a new and difficult to replicate business model.
It is no wonder that the outside world has made a stir about the offer of Jinhu, but Microsoft has unexpectedly kept silent and has not expressed its position up to now. If Microsoft had no such intention, it would have responded publicly to the offer.
Chen Jing is glad to hear Zhang Ke explain her doubts. A feeling of being trusted is more satisfying than anything.
In front of the Yanyuan garden, at the end of the night, many Oak Park scientists and senior engineers took their wives and women for a walk there. When they saw Chen Jing and Zhang Ke walking side by side, they would take the initiative to say hello. Even if Chen Jing and Zhang Ke were pregnant with ghosts and concubines, they could only pretend to be talking about business.
When everyone was wondering about the $900 million offer made by Jinhu to Microsoft, Zhang Ke returned to Jianye and was most concerned about the development of new mobile phones based on ess baseband chip technology.
At dusk, Zhang Ke specially took time to go to Kewang hi tech''s R & D center to see the development of their new models. If all aspects of work go smoothly, in early November, Jinhu, Kewang hi tech and Lianxin will be able to launch real domestic mobile phones with less than 1500 yuan to the low-end mobile phone market at the same time. It will be the first time in China to completely realize localization from shell to core The price of mobile phones in the has dropped below $200.
The functions of the new mobile phone will be relatively simple, which can be gradually improved only after the core technology level is improved. The shape is simpler and easier, at least not as bulky as the low-end mobile phone two years ago. In addition, Zhang Ke''s biggest requirement is that the new mobile phone should be solid and durable. The technology and production have been ready, and the next period of time is to carry out various functions of the new mobile phone Strength test.
At least in 1999, almost all foreign mobile phone brands focused on the domestic medium and high-end mobile phone market, which left a broad low-end market space for the development of Jinhu''s own baseband chip technology at the beginning. If it was delayed for another two years, the situation would not be so favorable.
After seeing their preparations at Kewang hi tech R & D center, Zhang Ke took Chen Jing back to Yanyuan on foot. In mid October, the temperature difference between day and night in Jianye was large, and the maximum temperature during the day could be 25 or 6 degrees. It was right to wear a single coat. At night, especially when the lake wind blew by the lake, wearing a single coat would tremble.
Chen Jing wears the coat Zhang Ke gave him. Instead of putting her hand into her sleeve, she grabs the skirt to prevent the coat from sliding down. She walks to the entrance of Yanyuan, takes off her coat and returns it to Zhang Ke, waving her hand away from him.
Yanyuan is almost the family backyard of oak garden, and most of the middle and senior researchers who know Zhang Ke live in it. No matter how thick skinned Zhang Ke is, he doesn''t dare to follow Chen Jing. He makes a phone gesture and walks from the cement corridor in the west of Yanyuan to Xuefu lane; The driver followed him bored.
Passing through the campus of Dongda, when Zhang Ke walked to the youth apartment, Li xinyuqia also held two books in front of her chest and walked into the apartment building.
"Er..." Li Xinyu stopped and stood there. Instead of walking towards Zhang Ke, she motioned him to go first.
"How did you become so divided?" Zhang Ke stood there waiting for Li Xinyu to come over and asked her with a smile.
Li Xinyu hesitated for a moment, then walked towards Zhang Ke with his mouth slightly. He looked naive and lovely. He walked into the hall of the apartment building side by side with Zhang Ke, stood there waiting for the elevator, looked at the number of floors displayed on the elevator, but didn''t talk to Zhang Ke.
"Should Samsung be engaged in any conspiracy against Jinhu? You just know it. You feel guilty not to tell me?"
"Ah," Li Xinyu asked slightly, "you''re too smart. Guess what tricks we''ll have against Jinhu?"
"The most unpleasant thing for Samsung recently is that Jinhu wants to extort $900 million from Microsoft. Do some people at Samsung want to do bad things secretly?" Zhang Ke asked with a smile.
"You guessed it yourself. It has nothing to do with me..."
Seeing Li Xinyu''s eyes, Zhang Ke still avoided himself and said, "I''m afraid some people''s bad plans haven''t been approved by your father..."
Listening to Zhang Ke''s words, Li Xinyu stared at Zhang Ke, smiled sweetly and said, "it turns out that you know very well... Some people planned to veto my father as soon as they reported it, but they didn''t explain why. Some people still couldn''t figure it out."
Listening to Li Xinyu''s tone, "some people" refer to Li Zaizhu and them. Zhang Ke did not expect Li Jianxi to see so thoroughly: Microsoft sees the possibility of implementing the new network audio standard from the binding mode of global music online and iPlayer hardware platform. This possibility lies in that the larger the global music online can monopolize the Internet paid music market, the better, Instead of starting a new stove and rebuilding another * * system that is highly antagonistic to global music online.
In this sense, no one can casually destroy the cooperation between Microsoft and Jinhu. Zhang Ke can''t remember when Microsoft released wma audio format, but it doesn''t prevent him from asking too much. From the current signs, especially Microsoft''s silence, it can be basically judged that Microsoft should have seen the potential market value of implementing the new digital audio standard and its role in strengthening the monopoly of windows system.
