Chapter 100: A New Beginning
Chapter 100 A new starting point
These sources of data are complex, but they have one thing in common, all of which are patented technologies with a gap or a large gap in China. Among them, the microprocessor design solution of Cyrix, a subsidiary of US-based Semiconductor (NS), was the x86 general-purpose chip solution that could compete with AMD and Intel at that time. It is equivalent to the crown jewel of the entire computer industry. This alone can shorten the technical gap between the IT industry with developed countries for decades. This was provided by several classmates from Wu Haijun at Cyrix, but it cannot be used formally, otherwise they will be taken away by the FBI.
Another is the CDMA standard baseband chip technology, one of the two major standards in the field of mobile phone calls. This technology, which was originally monopolized by Qualcomm in the United States, was originally provided for the US side. It has advantages such as high call quality, low transmission power, and difficult to be cracked. The Chinese side has been researching over the years, and even piloted several networks, but the technical gap was too large and finally gave up. A few years later, when China Unicom launched a large-scale CDMA network, it used these network foundations. This is something that Wu Haijun and his American colleagues have been studying. The last time they returned to China, he wanted to sell this technology to China. Unfortunately, the military kept it so confidential. They didn't know the military's research situation, and there was no way. It was not that Yang Xing almost missed it with a keen eye.
There is another reason why Yang Xing values this technology. After Wu Haijun and his team returned to China to start their business in 2000, they also developed a 3G TD-CDMA chip based on G** and CDMA baseband chips. Although this technology was ridiculed by domestic users as 2.5G because of its immature technology, this is the first 3G standard proposed by the Chinese themselves. Yang Xing considers improving this technology a few years in advance, and may not be able to occupy a place in the world's 3G field.
These two items alone are enough to make the military excited, not to mention that there is a patent table here, which lists many technologies such as multi-core chip manufacturing, fiber optic network switches, supercomputer parallel processing, network search, audio and video digital processing, compression, transmission and decoding, etc. Later, these people felt a chill on their backs. This was a wince of the most cutting-edge and latest IT technologies at that time! The ambition of this young man in his early twenties was even higher than that of the Himalayas. Mou Zhe, who was fooling him to blow up the Himalayas, didn't deserve it.
Chu Tiankuo asked calmly: "Have you got all these?" Yang Xing said: "Most of the core technologies are still not good. Some of these application technologies can be transferred, which can be troubled by the country. There is no big problem for Hong Kong companies to come forward. Some of them are obtained through branches in Europe and the United States, and they do not indicate the identity of our Chinese-funded company. However, patent protection makes it necessary to change when applying domestically. Some are not put on the table. Most of them are provided by commercial spies, and some are obtained by us privately using abnormal means and cannot be announced to the public for the time being."
The others smiled at the "abnormal" methods in Yang Xing's words. Without delving into them, they were not old scholars. It is normal to use some methods.
Chu Tiankuo pondered for a while and said, "How do we cooperate?" Yang Xing said confidently: "If people outside know these things, my life will be very sad. Therefore, we must not directly show military representatives or military shares in my company. Support can be provided through other methods. In addition, the industrialization of these technologies is very important, and you don't want every item to be approved by the state!"
"So this time after my financing plan is successful, I will be responsible for the main development funds. I will develop basic technologies in the name of Xingdou Research Institute. You can provide scientific research strength and financial cooperation to exchange results. Third, I require confidentiality. My contact with you must maintain a single-line contact. I can transfer the core technologies you need for free, but I cannot seek excessive searches. Other unimportant technologies should be exchanged as much as possible. After all, I am a businessman. I can do a beheaded business, but I will not do a loss-making business. The safety of my family and I must also be guaranteed."
Several people laughed, and Yang Xing showed his true nature as a businessman at this time. Chu Tiankuo said, "I can't make the decision, I must go back and ask for instructions. However, I can take action first and report to you in terms of confidentiality. I will announce now that the three of them will be your future contact targets, representing the military, government, and scientific research. Anyone else who comes to contact you under the banner in the future can refuse!" At this moment, Chu Tiankuo, who stood up straight, also showed his true nature as a soldier and said loudly.
After coming out of the conference room, Yang Xing was sweating. It was impossible to face these big guys without any pressure. Looking at Wang Yunqi and Zheng Yunlong who came here specially, he cheered up and compared the word "V" with his fingers, and the two of them put down the big stone in their hearts. Zheng Yunlong hugged Yang Xing's shoulder intimately and said, "I have won the gold medal of death, we can let go!" Yang Xing shook his head and said, "Don't be too happy too early. The big guys need to study it, but the cooperation between us can be carried out." The three of them folded their hands together and said, "Happy cooperation!"
On November 15, five companies including Hongchang Trading Company in Beijing, Yuntao Industrial Company in Shanghai, and Zhongyuan Foreign Trade Co., Ltd. jointly injected 2 billion yuan into Xinghai Trading Company, which is raising funds and listed in Hong Kong. The slogan was to build a large IoT trading company covering the whole country and directly reaching Europe, the United States, Russia, Australia and other regions. Ma Sanqi served as the CEO, and Jiang Likui, former manager of Hongchang Trading Company, served as the COO.
After receiving capital injection, Xinghai Trading Company immediately ignited three fires. One fire was to announce the establishment of a large home appliance retail store called Xingle Electric in about 30 first-tier cities across the country. The limelight directly overshadowed Gome Electrical Appliances, which was fighting in the business war with local businesses in Tianjin.
The second fire announced that it would negotiate to acquire five large malls such as the Mall Department Store on the verge of bankruptcy at the Zhongyuan Provincial Capital Mall. These malls once rose in the business war in the early 1990s and created the "Mall Department Store" model across the country. Unfortunately, the lack of management and the disorderly business war caused them to eventually decline. Among them, the listed company's Mall Department Store also exposed major violations such as tampering with accounting data and false reporting of profits. Now someone is willing to take over, and the leaders of the Zhongyuan Provincial Department Store have all breathed a sigh of relief.
The third hot topic was to negotiate with Japan's Darong Trading Company to acquire its twenty large supermarkets in Tianjin, Beijing, Tangshan and other places. This Japanese company, which first opened a supermarket in China, has fallen into a state of bankruptcy due to poor management. Although the profits in China's supermarkets are good, they can only give up their love.
After these three hits, Xinghai Trading Company has gone from an unknown company that mainly operates transportation business to a large trading group with wholesale and retail and multinational trade. Hong Kong investors cheered and several major investment banks that mainly underwrite its listing business were full of confidence in its issue price. When Yang Xing was still on his way to Beijing, there was an issue premium of HK$2 billion in his account.
On December 4, Yang Xing set foot on the land in Beijing again. The trip was completely confidential. He did not bring any of his assistants and bodyguards, and replaced them with several expressionless companions provided by the military. The reason for coming to Beijing this time was to negotiate for the joint venture of Xingchen Manufacturing and South Korea's Daewoo Heavy Industry to produce large construction machinery and the formation of a joint venture with the Jiudu Diesel Engine Factory to produce diesel engines.
As the five major consortiums in South Korea, Daewoo Group has suffered from its blind expansion over the years, and its operating power is becoming increasingly weak. In order to maintain its core automobile business, it has had to transfer some assets or technology. Under the temptation of Yin Zhen and in order to compete with Hitachi Heavy Industry, Daewoo, a joint venture factory of Star Manufacturing, this time Daewoo has produced the latest excavator technology. Daewoo's marine diesel engine technology is well known worldwide. As the joint venture, the Jiudu Diesel Engine Factory is also a ship diesel engine factory designed by the Navy. It has strong technical strength. Under the temptation of the huge Chinese market and the 500 million yuan investment provided by Star Manufacturing, Daewoo couldn't help but bow down.
Of course, this is not worth Yang Xing's personal trip. He mainly used this guise to negotiate the details of technology transfer with the military. Another reason is that Vice Premier Cheng Canghai of the State Council offered to meet him privately. Yang Xing dared not give face to his call. Not to mention anything else, he made two moves in Jiudu Pedestrian Street and Shanghai Xingtian to make Yang Xing's plan smooth all the way. Of course, this love has to be returned.
The meeting place they met was at the Jingxi Hotel instead of Zhongnanhai. Obviously, Cheng Canghai planned to have a private meeting. Because the annual Central Economic Conference will be held in a few days, the five-star hotel affiliated to the General Staff Department is heavily guarded and outposts are everywhere.
After several checks at the checkpoints, Yang Xing was led into a small conference room by the surrounding guards. He saw an old man with black hair, a rigorous expression, and a powerful person without anger. Through various media, Yang Xing had long been familiar with him and knew that he would be the helmsman of China's economy in the next few years - Cheng Canghai.
The two met without much greetings, and they all knew each other. Cheng Canghai came to him mainly because, first, the information he provided was too important, and second, he was interested in the unique insights on some issues in the operation of China's economy. The Prime Minister, who likes to listen to experts, obviously regarded him as an "expert". In order to impress him, Yang Xing tried his best to make a deep impression and dozens of researchers from the Star Dou Research Institute spent a lot of energy and time writing a report "Analysis and Countermeasures on Asian Economic Issues".
Cheng Canghai wore reading glasses and looked at the report for a while and frowned. Obviously, this report was completely contrary to the current mainstream economic theory, but the detailed data made people have to admit that the questions raised were very reasonable. He pondered for a while before smiling and said, "Some people say that when we come, the world is the same. It is indeed anomaly to give birth to a genius like you in our country. I have left this report. You can stay for a few more days. At the meeting in a few days, I hope to learn from your data. Now you have achieved success. Have you considered helping me with something in China?"
Yang Xing was nervous and his legs were trembling. It was false to not be moved by the olive branch that Cheng Canghai extended. This was equivalent to entering the central high-level leadership in one step! He pinched his legs and woke himself up. There were still many things to do! He smiled with a humble and arrogant smile: "I don't think it's time to succeed. Being the boss of several listed companies is not the end of my struggle. This is just a new starting point in my life. I believe that I will have greater development in the mall!"
