Tao Liangchen
Chapter 587 Black Diamond
The design work is underway, and the start-up funds are already in place, so there's no need to worry about it in the short term.
The approval for the Thousand-Core City is about to be officially finalized. In the initial stage, it will mainly focus on land reclamation and the construction of factories, and infrastructure construction will take a long time.
Huang钻 (Huang Zuan) Computers have begun preparing for assembly and production elsewhere. Pengcheng (鹏城) City has provided two factory buildings in the high-tech zone free of charge, with a total area of more than 13,000 square meters, which should be enough for the initial expected output.
The work of purchasing parts, placing orders for the production of casings, etc., has been steadily advancing.
The production line is relatively simple, and the purchased equipment is about to arrive. Workers can be recruited for training at any time. Pengcheng in this era is not short of skilled electronics factory workers. It is planned to recruit about 400 people first, and the first batch of Huang钻 computers is expected to roll off the production line in late August or early September.
The specific work is mainly handled by Chu Jun and Academician Ni Danan's team. In addition, a group of talents has been poached from other places.
Several talents from the Liangxiang (良想) production and sales departments were almost poached by Chu Jun with high salaries. Consultants were also hired from Baodao (宝岛) to assist.
When it comes to physical manufacturing, many things cannot be rushed.
Thus.
Su Yehao relaxed again and had more time to enjoy life.
...
Four days have passed imperceptibly since Nong Qingying returned from Tokyo.
The house on Barker Road (白加道) bought for her has been transferred, and a designer has been found to help. Whether it's the interior furniture or the redesign of the garden, everything is carefully considered.
However, after the furniture is bought, the renovation of the yard will not have much impact on living there, and it can be moved in in about two weeks.
Qualcomm finally relented.
Agreed to transfer the mobile phone production business to Su Yehao for a package price of $110 million.
Receiving a call from Silicon Valley in the middle of the night, Su Yehao asked Lin Youfeng, the vice president of KOKO Ventures, to sign the contract with Qualcomm on his behalf, and to determine the details of technology licensing and subsequent procurement.
When the transaction is completed, the inventory machines will be sold at a low price.
If this batch of goods can be sold smoothly, it is estimated that $70 to $80 million can be cashed out, giving an opportunity to recoup a large sum of money.
Su Yehao was so excited that he couldn't sleep.
Considering the value of the production line and technology licensing, rounding it up, it's almost like getting it for free.
If he hadn't promised to purchase more than $1 billion worth of components from Qualcomm and agreed to sell at least 20 million mobile phones within five years, otherwise he would pay patent licensing fees at this figure, which is equivalent to signing a gambling agreement, the transaction would not have been so smooth.
Of course, this is the public statement, which is an explanation to the shareholders.
It is estimated that the Japanese companies who are also eyeing Qualcomm's mobile phone production business will never know how they lost. Obviously, their cooperation plan is not bad either.
In fact, several major Qualcomm shareholders directly threw their plan into the trash can in order to get the opportunity to finance Google this time.
After waking up.
Su Yehao just opened his eyes and found that it was dawn outside. He suddenly thought of something and immediately checked his mobile phone messages.
Vice President Lin Youfeng replied at more than 5:00 a.m. local time in Hong Kong that the contract had been signed, and the specific agreement would be faxed to the assistant's office.
Therefore, Su Yehao then made a call to contact Linda Yun, asking her to ask if she had received the contract, and bring it over to work later.
In the master bedroom of the mansion on Big Wave Bay Road.
The curtains were still drawn, and the air conditioner was humming, so cold that he needed to cover himself with a quilt.
Awakened by Su Yehao's movement, Jiang Yu poked her head out of the silk quilt in a daze, complaining with a bit of morning grumpiness, "You woke me up once in the middle of the night, and now you're making phone calls in bed, can you not? I'm very sleepy!"
"Okay, okay! Little ancestor, you continue to sleep. I'll go to the study and get busy. A big business is coming, and our family will soon be able to use mobile phones made by ourselves!"
With the contract signed and the complete set of technical solutions in hand, the plan to produce mobile phones is already a sure thing.
Su Yehao continued to harass Jiang Yu before going to wash up contentedly.
Last night, he finally managed to coax Jiang Yu over, and spent a rare time alone with her.
The little girl went to the mainland the day before yesterday to scout actors. The filming of *Boys Over Flowers* will start soon. The script is almost ready and has just been sent to Si Jiucheng (四九城, another name for Beijing) for comments, so as not to be unable to be shown in the north at that time.
The shooting cost is a bit high. If there is less broadcast revenue on mainland TV stations, it will be difficult to recover the cost. Fortunately, Su Yehao can provide many venues, luxury cars, famous watches, etc., which saves a budget. At least the complaint that the rich young master drives a Mazda will never happen again this time.
After washing up, he came to the study, first checked his email, financial accounts, recent news about himself, and Yinhai Weibo, and then took out paper and pen to think hard, brainstorming plans for the development of Qualcomm's mobile phones.
The brand name must be changed. For the sake of simplicity, Su Yehao tentatively named it "Black Diamond (黑钻)."
On the other hand, the shape of Qualcomm pdQ is a bit ugly, and the price is too high. After thinking about the style of the old-fashioned phones he used to like, he is more optimistic about the shape of Blackberry, as well as the first-generation king N95 and N97, plus some simple and stylish slider phones.
Just as Su Yehao was buried in drawing sketches, Jiang Yu walked in wearing pajamas, brushing her teeth, and muttered, "I can't sleep anymore. My mother called me twice in the middle of the night. Now it's completely over. What excuse should I find to save face?"
Raising his head to look at her, she is still fresh and refined with pure makeup, a real beauty.
Su Yehao smiled after listening, "You're so old, are you still afraid of this and that? Besides, Jiang Shiye (姜师爷, Jiang Yu's father) and the others don't know that we're in love. They all came from this age. I believe they will understand."
"...I believe your ghost. I knew I should have gone home earlier last night."
Jiang Yu gave him a roll of her eyes, approached to look at the sketches on the paper, and was about to ask him what he was doing when she was choked by the foam in her mouth and gagged a few times, and hurriedly ran to the bathroom.
Usually, they are always sneaking around, or the little girl is also present. There are indeed few opportunities for the two to be alone.
Su Yehao followed to see her, and joked, "Are you okay? Are you pregnant so soon?"
"Bah, you wish, I don't want to have children so early. Speaking of which, what you drew on the paper just now, is it the mobile phone you mentioned before? It feels so ugly."
"...It has nothing to do with being ugly. It's simply because I can't draw. When the finished product is made, it will definitely be amazing. The current Qualcomm mobile phones are too expensive, with some unnecessary costs. I plan to re-differentiate the product positioning and try to lower the price to a level that mainland residents can accept."
Changing the topic, Su Yehao asked her, "What do you want to eat in the morning, noodles, porridge? Or should I take you out to find soup dumplings?"
Jiang Yu doesn't know much about Su Yehao's business, but she has a persistent pursuit of enjoying food, and immediately replied:
"If you have time, will you accompany me to Tsui Wah Restaurant? I'm going to the company to deal with things. I want to bring a friend I met in the HKU dance club into the trainee program to try. You won't object, right? She's so beautiful and 1.73 meters tall, very suitable for being a lead dancer."
Su Yehao touched his chin and said:
"Okay, let's go out to eat then. What women think is beautiful often has a certain deviation from what men think is beautiful. It's no problem to open the back door, but you'd better discuss it with the teachers in charge of training the trainees. Don't rush to make promises, be careful that people turn around and blame you in the end."
Jiang Yu said, "I understand, so I haven't mentioned it to her yet."
