I'm reborn and I'm an international student again?

"Uncle Zhu, don't worry. When Xinde gets up, he will definitely avenge you." After discussing the cooperation, Chen Xi looked at the other party with a smile.

"Oh, I don't want to think about this anymore. Old Chen is such a dishonest person. If I still care about this matter, it would be simply lowering my status." Zhu Tong sighed and waved his hand.

Although that's what I said, it's impossible not to feel resentful.

Chen Xi also knew this truth and didn't want to say too much.

"How are the students who came to your place?"

"Haha, everyone thinks they are powerful!"

Hearing this, Chen Xi burst out laughing, which made Zhu Tong extremely embarrassed.

He has a relatively good understanding of the character of today's college students.

Everyone thinks they graduated from a prestigious university and thinks they are superior.

"It's okay, I will come here often in the future. If anyone disobeys the company's arrangements without reason, I will let them leave on their own." Zhu Tong decided to discipline these former students as a teacher.

"It's not that we are afraid that they will ask for a salary increase, but we want them to demonstrate their abilities. I see that they have become stupid because of reading too much, and they are simply clumsy when actually operating in the workshop. If they have good abilities, we will naturally offer them high salaries. We in Xinde are not a stingy company." Chen Xi explained.

He felt that if the person was talented, the boss would definitely offer good conditions to retain him. But if he had no talent and was still clamoring for a raise, that was completely unreasonable.

So what if it’s from a prestigious university?

The company wants people who are obedient and capable, not good-for-nothings.

But since they were able to get into a university of science and technology, they must be talented. If these people are managed well, they will definitely become talents.

After seeing Zhu Tong off, Chen Xi looked at Chen Caiyue and asked, "Mom, how was the order for touch screens from Huajing Electronics last time?"

"Huajing Electronics has a lot of orders now. Domestic mobile phones are on the rise. The number of products you require is small, and the screen requirements are so high, and the area is so large. It's a bit difficult for them to open a separate production line..." Chen Caiyue looked embarrassed.

Hearing this, Chen Xi nodded.

The live broadcast screens in the Australian region require high quality. With Huajing Electronics' production line worth tens of billions of dollars, it is really difficult to open a separate line for it.

It can also be said that the new screen needs to be customized, tested, and reproduced, and the return is very small for a large factory like Huajing Electronics.

Fortunately, Chen Xi was well prepared and he had a second option.

"Mr. Wang customized a few screens for you out of my kindness. The things are now in the warehouse." Chen Caiyue said again.

The meaning is clear. The products have been produced, but there must be sufficient demand in Australia before Huajing Electronics can supply them.

"By the way, your father called you in Australia a while ago, but you didn't answer." Seeing that her son didn't say anything, Chen Caiyue suddenly remembered something.

"Why are you calling me?" Chen Xi thought about it and guessed that he was on the plane at that time and his phone must have been turned off.

"It seems like he wants you to stay there."

"Oh, why should I stay there? What is he afraid of?"

"He said life abroad is better. You've been there for so long, you probably won't be able to adapt to the intrigues and schemes in China, so it's better for you to just live there."

"He makes so many excuses because he's afraid that I'll come back and disturb his happy life. No, I guess he isn't very happy now either." Chen Xi couldn't help but grin when he thought of the conflicts between Chen Yifeng and the Chen family and other relatives.

"Your father also said that if you stay in Australia, he will give you some money."

"Ha, I'm already applying for PR, just ask him to transfer the money to me." Chen Xi was happy. He had never seen the stingy Chen Yifeng take the initiative to give out money in his entire life, and his silly mother actually believed it.

"What are your plans after you return to China? I feel like you are not focusing on Xinde." The sensitive Chen Caiyue felt that her son had his own ideals.

She doesn't want to interfere too much in her children's future career.

"Well, I plan to invest in some promising industries."

"Investment? Do you understand?"

"Of course." Chen Xi smiled slightly.

As for what to invest in, he already had a plan in mind.

Two days later, Suzhou City, Youda Optoelectronics.

"My friend, I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon."

"I didn't expect you would actually invest in building a factory here."

Chen Xi shook hands with Peng Lang.

Looking at the uncle from Wanqu in front of him, he never thought that this man would actually listen to his advice and build a factory in Gusu.

Most bosses have their own ideas and are unlikely to listen to other people's opinions. Peng Lang actually took a few casual remarks made by a foreign tourist seriously.

"Haha, I've investigated carefully. Gusu is indeed a place suitable for our development. Not only our company, but also companies from Wanqu and other countries have built factories here. This place is backed by the Magic City, which is simply an ideal location for a factory." Peng Lang introduced the various workshops of the factory to Chen Xi as they walked.

Compared with Huajing Electronics, Youda's factory is relatively small.

But think about it, since they have come all the way here to build a factory for the first time, they definitely won’t invest too much.

"Mr. Peng, I came here to discuss business with you. Can you take a look at these display screens and see if they can be made?" Chen Xi asked Yin Anwei and others to move out several packaged screens.

Peng Lang had already noticed what Chen Xi brought. When the package was opened, he took a look and said, "This must have been made by Huajing Electronics."

"That's right! I want to install these things on the live broadcast machine in the Australian area, but these screens have not been tested yet, and I don't know if they are satisfied..." Chen Xi explained the whole story.

"Well, our Youda came to the mainland to build a factory, but we haven't received any orders so far. We can indeed cooperate with each other." Peng Lang looked at the screen again. He felt that with the strength of his company, it would not be difficult to make better products.

"I have one more thing to do this time."

"You said."

Peng Lang asked his secretary to serve a cup of tea to Chen Xi and others.

"Now is the era of technology, and more and more technology companies are emerging, but some companies in the mainland use the name of technology but do not have any high-tech products. But it is different in Taiwan, many technology companies are ranked among the top in the world." "Oh? What do you mean?" Peng Lang raised his eyebrows. His own company is among the top three in the industry.

"What do you think the Wan District is most famous for?" Chen Xi did not answer, but raised a question.

"Famous? There are too many. The most famous one is probably the chip. You are not planning to undermine TSMC, are you?"

“That’s right and that’s not right. I’m not trying to undermine TSMC, I’m trying to undermine the chips.”

"What do you mean? Do you still want TSMC to provide you with chips?" Peng Lang was a little puzzled.

"No, my target is another chip company, Lianfa Technology! This is also one of the reasons why I came to Suzhou. As far as I know, Lianfa Technology has just acquired Suzhou's Aoshitong, and I want to invest in them."

"Pfft~cough cough." Hearing this, Peng Lang almost spit out the tea in his mouth. He quickly wiped his mouth and said, "You said it before, they just acquired Aoshitong. I see you are not very old. Even if your family is rich, even Fake may not agree to invest in such a large enterprise, not to mention that they don't seem to be short of money. Besides, the relationship between the two sides has been unclear, and the investment policy for mainlanders is constantly changing. You may end up wasting money."

I have to say that Peng Lang’s consideration was absolutely correct.

In the early days, mainlanders could only invest in Taiwan through bank offices in Taiwan, and in terms of industries, only manufacturing and shipping industries other than petrochemicals and high-tech were open.

In other words, mainland companies cannot directly invest in high-tech products such as chips.

As for the shareholding ratio, the relationship between the two sides is constantly changing. Sometimes the shareholding ratio will be high, and sometimes it will be somewhat unclear, which makes the investment extremely risky.

However, according to Chen Xi's understanding, as long as the shareholding does not reach more than 20%, there should be no problem.

For a large enterprise like Lianfax, even a 20% stake is considered a lot, let alone 10%.

However, Chen Xi invested in Lianfa Ke not to make money directly, but to pave the way for subsequent projects.

Most people have heard of TSMC, but only a few know of TSMC.

In fact, the two families have the same origin, and their ancestors are both the Industrial Technology Research Institute, which is the Research Institute of Electronics Industry.

The previous company of LianTek's founder was UMC, which was involved in the entire industrial chain, but it didn't make as much as chip foundry like TSMC.

According to the family tree of the Institute of Electronics Industry, UMC is the eldest son in the family, and TSMC is the second son.

How can the boss tolerate the second in command stealing his limelight?

So UMC abandoned other businesses and followed TSMC's example by only doing foundry business. Then the chip design department naturally had no need to exist, and the famous Lianfax was born at this time.

The head of the chip design department, who is also the founder of Lianfax, set up a new company.

Initially, the industry's top business was making chips for computers. However, Lianfa took a different approach and set its sights on DVD chips, which had a lower threshold, and also created many new things.

Chen Xi still remembers that the world's first VCD was invented by Xinlu, and DVD was invented by Sakura Toshiba.

At that time, DVDs needed to be equipped with two decoding chips, digital and video. Lianfa came up with an idea and combined the two into one, greatly reducing the production cost of manufacturers. This caused the price of DVDs to drop from several thousand yuan to a few hundred yuan. In the end, more than 80% of DVDs in the world were marked as made in China.

60% of domestic DVDs use LianTek chips, and LianTek has made a lot of money from this.

But technological products are obsolete very quickly. DVDs were eliminated within a few years, so Lianfa Ke turned its attention to mobile phones.

Originally, it wanted to cooperate with Nokia, but the other party ignored it. Finally, FaKe set its sights on domestic copycat mobile phones.

It was very difficult to make mobile phones at that time, not as easy as it is now. A mobile phone would use chips from more than a dozen suppliers, each with its own standards.

Mobile phone manufacturers have to debug and develop system software themselves.

So Lian Fa Ke came up with the idea of ​​combining the two into one.

Only this time he didn’t combine two into one, but more than ten into one.

In this way, more than a dozen chips were synthesized into one, and the software was thoughtfully configured and packaged for mobile phone manufacturers.

The mobile phone manufacturers were immediately excited when they saw it.

This is not a supplier, this is just a nanny.

After buying a LianTek chip, all you have to do is install a screen, keyboard, camera, and finally make a shell, and you have a mobile phone.

Lianfax has thus lowered the threshold for making mobile phones, and as a result, there are more and more copycat phones on the market. It is also the largest supplier in Huaqiangbei in Shenzhen.

With the advent of the smartphone era, Android and Apple phones have come out, and Lianfax has made new moves.

They also targeted the low-end smartphone market and launched new chips.

Since Lianfa Technology is so awesome, why does Chen Xi still think he can get them to invest?

That’s because not long ago, Lianfa Technology suffered a series of heavy blows.

Chen Xi took a sip of tea and looked at Peng Lang and explained, "As far as I know, Lianfa's recent situation is not very good. They are not satisfied with the low-end market and want to challenge high-end mobile phone chips. However, high-end mobile phone chips require brand accumulation. Mobile phone manufacturers are not buying it. In addition, the Wifi has frequent network disconnection problems, which has caused huge problems in chip sales.

Previously, the "Turnkey model" had achieved great success in the field of mobile phone chips, which promoted the prosperity of the copycat mobile phone industry. However, with the rise of the smartphone market and consumers' higher requirements for mobile phone quality, the copycat mobile phone market has gradually declined, which has had a direct impact on Lianfa's business.

In the fierce competition with competitors such as Gaotong and Dezhou, Lianfa has gradually revealed its disadvantages. Coupled with the fluctuation of exchange rates, Lianfa's recent revenue has also dropped by about 20%..."

"It seems that you came prepared this time. You actually investigated so thoroughly." Hearing this, Peng Lang also smiled. He stood up in front of the glass window and pointed in a direction: "The boss of Lianfa Technology is over there. They just acquired Aoshitong and are now planning to expand their territory in the mainland market."

In fact, Peng Lang and the founder of Lianfa Technology are friends. Both of them are well-known entrepreneurs in the Taiwan area, so naturally they have connections privately.

Chen Xi, who had known this for a long time, did not show any surprise, but nodded with satisfaction.

In fact, the circles of entrepreneurs are almost all interconnected. Peng Lang knows Cai Jie, the founder of Lianfa Technology, just like Chen Xi knows Feng Yun and Zhou Sheng.

Because we are in similar industries, we are either friends or competitors.

Gusu Aoshitong Technology is a company that researches, develops and designs integrated circuits, computer software, digital processing software, mobile communication protocols and application software.

Lianfax acquired Aositong in full through an overseas investment company it controlled, which was a roundabout way of acquisition.

After the acquisition is completed, Aositong still maintains its original company name and legal entity, but its control has changed and is held by Lianfa Technology through an overseas investment company controlled by it.

But within a few years, the company went bankrupt. As you can imagine, Lianfa's progress in the mainland was not so smooth. (End of this chapter)
