Chapter 330 The first batch of engineers to develop their own chips! Zhou Hongyi: Enemies = 20 years of the Internet!
On the second day after Yu'ebao went online, the number of new users increased by 1.3 million, and a total of 4 million users have activated this function, with a total fund size of up to 24.4 billion yuan.
On October 13, Penguin sued 360 for "unfair competition".
The reason is simple. 360 Security Guard forcibly intercepted the update program of QQ Browser, blocking Pony Ma's path to mobile transformation.
As soon as Chen Yansen arrived at the company and turned on his computer, he saw Zhou Hongyi's "cordial greetings" to Ma Wenteng on Weibo.
After understanding the general situation, he couldn't help but laugh and felt "admiration" for Zhou Hongyi.
This guy starts to itch all over if he doesn't cause any trouble for two days.
Among Internet entrepreneurs, finding Zhou Hongyi's friends is like looking for a needle in a haystack, but looking for his enemies is like knocking down a large number of them with a single blow.
When those who were scolded by Zhou Hongyi and those who scolded Zhou Hongyi gathered together, it was the golden twenty years of China's Internet.
Chen Yansen shook his head. Although he had a good relationship with both parties, he was not interested in intervening in the feud between Xiao Ma Ge and Zhou Dapao.
In addition, the promotion schedule for Double Eleven of Yaomiao Mall has been announced. October 15th to November 10th is the pre-sale stage, November 11th is the official sale time, and November 12th to November 13th is the limited-time return event.
It has to be said that Zhang Yong has learned 99% of Pinbei's noisy operations.
The e-commerce festival, which originally lasted for one day, was forcibly extended to thirty days.
Yidong followed suit, with the pre-sale period from October 18 to November 10, and the official sale and limited-time return time being the same as Ahri.
And the pre-sale event is three days earlier than the Tmall Mall! For this reason, Huang Zheng temporarily adjusted the strategy and pushed the pre-sale time forward by one day to October 14, which is tomorrow.
From the user's perspective, a one-month e-commerce activity cycle is really long and boring, which affects the shopping experience.
But from the perspective of merchants, extending the sales cycle can fully release users' purchasing needs.
For users who have difficulty making decisions, there simply aren’t enough hours in the day.
The third piece of news is closely related to Pinbei. Although more than forty days have passed since the signing of Pinbei's Series B financing agreement, Senlian Capital waited until October 12 to announce it to the media.
Firstly, it will build momentum for Pinbei’s Double Eleven promotion and attract more traffic; secondly, it will expand brand exposure and attract top talents to join; thirdly, it will push up the company’s valuation and pave the way for subsequent financing or listing.
“Following Yidong, the second largest e-commerce company, Pinbei Mall, completed its B round of financing yesterday, with a post-investment valuation of 22 billion US dollars!”
"Pinbei raised 2.2 billion US dollars and may become the biggest threat to Ali!"
"Twenty-year-old Chen Yansen has another company worth hundreds of billions!"
Chen Yansen glanced at the headlines and felt that the self-media was too good at stirring up trouble. It was not difficult to imagine how heartbroken Handsome Dong would feel when he saw these news.
After all, Yidong has worked hard for many years, but its valuation is only 8 billion, which is less than half of Pinbei's valuation.
Ten minutes later, Chen Yansen closed the webpage, logged into the data backend, and looked at the core data of each project as usual.
at the same time.
After settling his family, Wu Shengyu bought a one-way high-speed rail ticket from Jinling to Xucheng.
It was not until the train started that he smiled bitterly. He did not expect that at the age of forty, he was still as impulsive as a young man. After being encouraged by others, he resolutely chose to return home from San Diego, California with his family.
After being away from my hometown for many years, earth-shaking changes have taken place in the country.
3G networks are widely popularized and 4G networks are under preparation. The number of Internet users in China is approaching 600 million, the number of mobile phone users exceeds 1.1 billion, and the number of smartphone users is approaching the 400 million mark.
As far as he knows, the Alexa smart speaker that is popular in Europe and the United States is a product of Orange Technology.
In his eyes, it is hard to imagine that an intelligent voice assistant that is far ahead in technology actually comes from China.
You know, Amazon's latest Echo voice interaction engine is not as fast and accurate as Alexa.
Wu Shengyu felt that perhaps out of curiosity, or perhaps he was bewitched, when he recalled his conversation with Chen Yansen, his heart was still pounding.
The innocent heart that had been dry for many years seemed to be awakened by the other party again.
The scenery outside the window passed by quickly, and Wu Shengyu couldn't help but fall into memories.
He is a native of Jinling. He graduated from Tsinghua University with a major in electronic information technology in 1993, and then went to the University of Toronto for further studies. Five years later, he joined Qualcomm and started as an ordinary chip design engineer. After fourteen years of hard work, he finally became a senior engineer.
An annual salary of 180,000 US dollars is considered middle class in Europe and the United States!
But he knew in his heart that Qualcomm did not welcome Chinese engineers, and senior engineer was almost the career ceiling for Chinese at Qualcomm. Only a very small number of them could break through the restrictions and be promoted to senior senior engineer.
Above the senior chief engineer, there are three levels: chief engineer, senior chief engineer and chief scientist.
He is 40 years old this year, how can there be any room for promotion? But Chen Yansen was different. He gave him the title and treatment of chief engineer as soon as he opened his mouth, with an annual salary of 1.8 million yuan, plus six insurances, two funds, option rewards and more than a dozen other benefits.
Rather than being a dog for others, it is better to devote himself to the domestic chip industry! His more than ten years in Qualcomm were not in vain. He worked from the baseband integration department to the Internet of Things chip department, and then to the RF R&D department. In addition to his main job, he could also do some work as an architecture designer.
With Wu Shengyu's ability, he is more than qualified to be a chief engineer, but Qualcomm is unwilling to give him the opportunity.
The entire journey from Jinling South to Xucheng East Station only takes one hour.
Wu Shengyu pushed his suitcase and walked out of the high-speed rail station. Then he turned on his mobile phone, used Kuaidi to hail a business car.
The Beacon Country also has a similar taxi-hailing software, and the product name seems to be 'uber'. Obviously, the speed of Internet development in China is not inferior to that of Europe and the United States.
In the past few days since he returned to China, he has tried group buying, takeout, e-commerce, express delivery and other products, all of which were beyond his expectations.
Although the Beacon Country also has these software, they are not as good as similar domestic competitors in terms of delivery efficiency and functional convenience.
Because China's market is larger and there is more capital eyeing this area, often a brand new industry, at the beginning of its rise, will give birth to dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of companies.
Finally, after fierce competition, prices and services can be pushed to the extreme.
It's like raising a poisonous insect! The European and American competitors are no match at all! Three minutes later.
After checking the license plate number, Wu Shengyu got into a BMW.
After confirming the last digit of the mobile phone number, the driver opened the itinerary and sped towards Zhuxianzhuang Science and Technology Park.
"Are you an employee of Orange Technology?" The driver was a middle-aged man in his thirties. Seeing Wu Shengyu looking out the window, he took the initiative to ask.
"Why do you ask?" Wu Shengyu turned around and looked at the driver.
"The most famous companies in Zhuxianzhuang Science Park are Orange Technology, Pinbei Mall, Orange Payment, and Today's Technology. They are all star companies in our Xucheng. I heard that there were several small companies settled there before, but they all moved away. Now there are only these four companies left."
The driver introduced it proudly.
Although Chen Yansen is not from Xucheng, he is a college student at Xuyuan. In the eyes of the locals, he is half a local.
"I went for an interview." Wu Shengyu smiled slightly and did not tell the truth.
"Then I wish you all the best!" the driver replied with a smile.
The two chatted casually, and in less than twenty minutes, the taxi drove into the Science and Technology Park and stopped in front of Building No. 9.
"Well, Orange Technology is in the building in front of us. Opposite is the headquarters of Pinbei Mall, and next to it are Orange Payment and Today Technology."
The driver knew everything about it and looked very familiar with it.
After all, he often took staff from Orange Technology, Pinbei Mall and Orange Payment to the high-speed rail station, and occasionally chatted with them, so he got to know some basic information.
"Thank you." Wu Shengyu nodded and pushed open the car door.
"Wait a moment, I will help you with your luggage." The driver was very enthusiastic. His car was a business car and the charges were high, so the service would naturally not be bad.
The other side.
Chen Yansen received the message from Wu Shengyu and immediately walked to the window, just in time to see Wu Shengyu who had just got off the car and the driver who was busy moving the luggage.
Like Wu Shengyu's chip R&D engineers, he poached more than 70 people from companies such as Qualcomm, Broadcom, AMD and Nvidia, including both Chinese engineers and European and American engineers.
His mental strength value of over 100 made it easy for him to "convince" these high-end people in the chip field.
Of course, this kind of "persuasiveness" is not mandatory. Chen Yansen held the list and communicated with more than 130 chip engineers in total, but only more than 70 of them agreed to return to China.
It’s not that he hasn’t thought about recruiting people in China, but if he wants to design top-notch chip products and compete with Qualcomm, the only way is to poach people.
In 2012, the domestic chip design industry was only in the early stages of development and could only produce industrial chips with a process technology of 32nm or above. It was extremely difficult to produce extremely sophisticated mobile phone processors, communication basebands, memory chips, etc.
Chen Yansen pushed open the door of his office, walked into the elevator and went straight to the first floor. When he walked to the lobby on the first floor, he ran into Wu Shengyu who was about to walk in.
"Mr. Wu, welcome back to China. You are also welcome to join Orange Technology's chip design department as a chief engineer."
As Chen Yansen spoke, he extended his right hand.
"Hello, Mr. Chen, thank you for your recognition of my personal abilities. I think I won't let you down."
Wu Shengyu subconsciously raised his head, and when he saw Chen Yansen, he was slightly shocked, but he quickly reacted and hurriedly held the other's right hand.
Although he had seen photos of his new boss in advance, he did not expect that Chen Yansen was younger than he thought.
He is 1.86 meters tall, with a faint smile on his face and an extremely powerful aura.
He had met Qualcomm's CEO Paul Jacobs, but Paul's aura was not as dignified as Chen Yansen's, and even made him feel a little oppressive.
In an instant, he put away his contempt.
"You are one of the first batch of people to report for work. The company has arranged a two-bedroom, one-living-room apartment for you in the city, as well as a 500,000 yuan car for you to use as a means of transportation. If you have any problems with your life, you can ask a colleague in the administration department to help you coordinate. I will first take you to visit the office environment of the chip design department."
Chen Yansen gave a brief instruction and then took Wu Shengyu to the elevator to the seventh floor.
Before this, he had purchased a complete set of electronic design automation software, including logic synthesis tools, HDL development tools, algorithm architecture design tools, automatic layout and routing tools, and physical verification tools.
He also confirmed with Wu Shengyu and others the high-performance servers, storage systems, dedicated switches and high-resolution displays they needed in the chip design process to ensure the normal progress of the work.
Chen Yansen is not afraid of spending money! He knows that once the self-developed chip is successful, Orange Mobile's hardware profit margin can be raised to a higher level, and higher wages can be offered to front-line workers, after-sales maintenance, operations, management, sales and other personnel.
And he can gain more humanitarian fire!
As for building China's self-developed chips and promoting the development of China's chip manufacturing industry, it was just nonsense he used to fool people like Wu Shengyu.
He would speak for the greater good when he could win over someone with his emotions.
For those who are extremely rational and look forward to everything, he will throw money at them, offering 1.5 times or 2 times their annual salary until they accept the offer.

Hangzhou, headquarters of Geek Car magazine, CEO's office.
Hu Weiyi sat at her seat and thanked Cheng Weixing repeatedly with a smile: "Thank you, Cheng, I will treat you to a meal when I am done with this busy period."
"You're too polite, Senior. The shared bike industry has great potential. I believe that with the boss's business sense, he will definitely not let go of your project."
Cheng Weixing responded with a smile.
Previously, he had heard Gao Weilin mention that his boss was interested in investing in the shared bicycle sector, so when Hu Weiyi approached him, he recommended Senlian Capital to the other party.
"Then I'll contact Mr. Chen first." Hu Weiyi said. She was indeed full of desire to explore Chen Yansen.
