Rebirth of the Wild Age

SMIC has changed its name to Ark Technology and is registered in the Cayman Islands.

Li Delei holds 14.9% of the shares, Li Dejing holds 43.79%, Song Weiyang holds 20.71%, Zhongwei Industrial holds 15.6%, and China Soft Park Development Company holds 5%.

The largest shareholder, Li Dejing, is Li Delei's brother. More than half of the shares he holds are obtained by crowding out business partners. Now Li Delei is the fourth largest shareholder and president, his younger brother Li Dejing is the largest shareholder and vice president, his wife-in-law Wang Xiaosu is the chief financial officer of the company, and Ark Technology has been turned into a family business.

Song Weiyang went north to the capital again, instead of running directly to pick up the offer, he summoned Li Xiaofeng, the director of Ark Technology.

Li Xiaofeng used to be an administrator of China Science and Technology, and was sent by Song Weiyang to Ark Technology as a shareholder representative. When he just passed, he was extremely excited, thinking that he was about to reach the pinnacle of his life, but now he felt as if he was a match. His former colleagues at Shenzhou Science and Technology all became more prestigious, but he was stationed at Ark Technology half dead.

Boss! Li Xiaofeng greeted respectfully. What he really wanted in his heart was to ask to return to Shenzhou Technology.

Sit down, Song Weiyang asked straight to the point without talking nonsense, Some time ago, there were rumors in the media that Ark Technology embezzled the 863 project funding. Is this really the case?

Li Xiaofeng shook his head and said, No. Even with Li Delei's ten guts, he wouldn't dare to embezzle the funds of the 863 project.

Song Weiyang asked: Then Ark Technology was about to close down last year, but now it is suddenly building a large building. Where did the money for building the building come from?

Li Xiaofeng said: The land was obtained three years ago, and the star company was given a half-price discount, and only paid a down payment of 1 million yuan. At that time, the company was busy developing chips and had no money to break ground and build a building, so the land has been barren there. Until At the end of last year, the Zhongguancun Software Park Development Company couldn’t sit still, and injected 50 million yuan to acquire a 5% stake in Ark. The additional requirement is that the money can only be used to build buildings, and 20 million yuan must be returned to the software park to pay for the land purchase .”

30 million is enough to build a building? Song Weiyang said.

Li Xiaofeng said: The Ark mortgaged the land and borrowed another 30 million yuan, a total of 60 million yuan for building construction. It is not high, only a few floors are built, 60 million yuan is enough.

Song Weiyang said: In other words, there is no problem with Ark Technology's building funds?

It must be no problem, otherwise the Ministry of Science and Technology can just sit back and watch? Li Xiaofeng said.

Song Weiyang asked: How do you evaluate Li Delei?

Li Xiaofeng said: This person is full of calculations and is keen to fight for power and profit. But he is short-sighted and easily swayed by emotions. He can say all kinds of nasty things when he is frustrated. He even publicly commented that the 'Ark 3' chip is bullshit. Everyone in Zhongguancun knows it. How can the boss scold their own products like this? What do the R\u0026D personnel think? Just two months ago, Li Jie, the leader of the 'Ark 3' project team, resigned with the core team left.

In another time and space, the person in charge of the development of the Ark chip is Liu Qiang. But Liu Qiang has long been poached by China Science and Technology, and is now the chief engineer of China's chip department. Ark Technology, through Academician Ni, invited Li Jie from the Chinese Academy of Sciences to be in charge of the development of the Ark chip (Li Jie and Liu Qiang were classmates).

Has the entire chip development team run out? Song Weiyang asked.

Li Xiaofeng said: All the core members have left, but there are still some engineers who specialize in outsourcing projects.

Outsourcing? Song Weiyang said.

Well, Li Xiaofeng nodded, At the end of last year, major government agencies refused to purchase NC machines, and Ark Technology lost more than 95% of its orders. The company was on the verge of bankruptcy, and Li Delei began to do outsourcing. The main project was to make PHS chips. .Now the PHS on the Chinese market, except China PHS uses self-developed chips, most of the other brands of PHS are using chips designed by Ark Technology.”

Song Weiyang asked: How is the business situation?

Li Xiaofeng smiled wryly and said, Of course I'm going to die. PHS is not easy to sell now, let alone the outsourcing project of PHS chips.

The market situation of PHS is really bad now, because low-end mobile phones are too cheap, and PHS has lost its price advantage. Then we can only look for advantages in terms of phone bills. Buying PHS to send phone bills is almost equal to zero yuan to buy a phone, and you can make free calls with various packages--Telecom (Netcom) companies will subsidize PHS manufacturers, or simply Telecom (Netcom) ) of the custom machine.

China Science and Technology has decided to sell the PHS business in a package, and several domestic companies are willing to take over the offer, and are currently in the process of continuing negotiations.

Song Weiyang said: I heard that all the clients brought by Academician Ni were scolded by Li Delei. Why did he do this? Is it true that Li Delei only accepts orders from the government and looks down on small orders from private enterprises as the newspaper said?

I didn't think about it at the time. I thought it was because Li Delei was inflated in the face of various honors, Li Xiaofeng said. Now that I think about it, it was all a manifestation of Li Delei's struggle for power.

Tell me carefully. Song Weiyang said.

Li Xiaofeng said: The predecessor of Ark Technology was co-founded by Li Delei and Harbin Institute of Technology alumni. He used Academician Ni to open up government relations. At a critical moment, he asked his own brother to drive away the previous shareholders. The combined equity of the two brothers was realized. Absolute holding. But he faces two other potential opponents, one is Academician Ni who helps the company to build relationships, and the other is Li Jie who is in charge of chip research and development. In order to divide the opponents, Li Delei said that Li Jie was his when he had dinner with Academician Ni. Son-in-law. When Li Delei and Academician Ni had a bad relationship, Academician Ni also alienated Li Jie. I only found out about this when I chatted with Academician Ni a few days ago.

What about scolding the client away? Song Weiyang asked.

Li Xiaofeng said: When Ark Technology was first established, it was entirely dependent on Academician Ni's appeal. He didn't take a penny or ask for a share. But Li Delei used the heart of a villain to measure the heart of a gentleman. He was afraid that Academician Ni would one day get involved. The company, so after the company got on the right track, he deliberately sang against Academician Ni. But whenever Academician Ni brought in clients, he put on a face for them, drove all the clients away, and made Academician Ni unable to come down. Academician Ni is What kind of temper? I am so angry that I will no longer care about Ark Technology.

Gong Dou is good. Song Weiyang laughed.

Li Xiaofeng said: Since academician Ni left, no matter how small Li Delei is, he will accept orders from private enterprises. He is not a fool. However, Li Delei has already ruined his reputation. Even without the restrictions of the Wintel alliance, there are probably not many customers. Willing to cooperate. At that time, there was a company called Yuxing Technology, and Academician Ni finally got the order. Yuxing Technology invested millions of dollars, abandoned Intel and switched to the Ark chip camp. The deal was negotiated, but Li Delei suddenly refused to supply Goods. Because Yuxing Technology believed in Academician Ni, they didn't sign a contract at all when discussing cooperation, and Li Delei's breach of the contract made them lose their vitality, and they almost didn't slow down because of this.

Li Delei has done this kind of thing several times, and he messes around with all the clients introduced by Academician Ni.

Bypassing the wintel alliance to make chips and systems, the most important thing is to establish an industry ecology. How can the industry ecology be built if Li Delei is so nonsense? All the companies that supported him were cheated by him!

Song Weiyang asked: How does Li Delei plan to develop?

Li Xiaofeng said: In fact, he has completely given up on the research and development of the 'Ark III' chip. After all, the core development team has run away. However, the Ministry of Science and Technology has just allocated more than 10 million project funds, and this money cannot be used indiscriminately. Call a few engineers to fool me, and we have to spend all the money.”

Song Weiyang said: What about the company's future route?

Li Xiaofeng said: First, make quick money by doing outsourcing. Second, develop other commercial chips. Third, engage in real estate. To be honest, I agree with Li Delei's idea. Continuing to make nc chips is a dead end. The key now is , The cowhide of the nc chip has already blown up, and more than a dozen ministries and commissions have sent representatives to congratulate, directly poking the cowhide will not end.

Song Weiyang nodded and said, It really can't end, so someone, through Academician Ni, wanted to ask me to help clean up the mess.

Li Xiaofeng quickly dissuaded: It's useless for anyone to come. The 863 project is not so easy to do. Take the 'Ark III' project as an example. The above-mentioned funding is 15.38 million yuan, and according to the regulations, the salary of scientific researchers should not exceed 15%. There are more than 60 engineers in chip research and development, and the monthly salary is only more than 2,000 yuan. How is this possible? There are rumors that Ark Technology embezzled scientific research funds, which is pure nonsense. The funding for Ark 1 and 2 is even less. Relying on the company’s own money to go in, there is no money to move if you want to move.”

The Ark III project can be moved, the development team is gone, and the remaining money can be spent freely. Song Weiyang laughed.

Li Xiaofeng said: What I mean is, with your current wealth, boss, there is no need to touch the 863 project, let alone the 863 funds. If you do well, you should be blamed. If you don't do well, you will be reprimanded. Obviously, the funds are not enough. If you use it, you will be suspected whether the funds have been embezzled. Moreover, the Ministry of Science and Technology has determined that the NC market will be established. There is really no hope here, and giving up as soon as possible is the most reasonable choice.

There are some things that you still can't see through, Song Weiyang said, I spent money to take over the loss-making business, and I will definitely get ten times and a hundred times the return in the future. Wiping people's buttocks is also a technical job, and it must be done beautifully. It needs to be bright, otherwise many people will stick to their asses.

Li Xiaofeng said: I understand a little bit, what does the chairman want me to do?

Song Weiyang said: Help me contact the Zhongguancun Software Park Development Company. It would be a waste of such a good piece of land to build only a few floors. After I take over Ark Technology, I will have to build at least 30 to 50 floors as an office building. Earn back the money I threw out with interest.
