As the atmosphere at the dinner table became lively again, everyone seemed to have put the matter behind them and drank until after 11 p.m. Many people were a little drunk and went to a karaoke bar!
Singing and dancing, it looked quite lively. Boss Liu leaned close to Lu Feng's ear and said, "If I had to pick a group of people, you'd definitely know how to have fun!"
“I can’t play ball! No one can play as well as you. The national procurement is a big order. Once we win it, the future market will be stable. Think about it, when ordinary people see this, even officials use this computer, how could it be bad?” Lu Feng shouted at him.
The surrounding environment was very noisy. The two were almost face to face. President Liu said to Lu Feng, "We don't have any grudges. There are rumors outside that we have a conflict!"
“Those people outside are saying all sorts of things, but our relationship is something we don’t need outsiders to say. I also said in the meeting today that there’s only one computer company in China, and that’s you. The others are no good!” Lu Feng said to President Liu.
"Actually, I emphasized you guys when I went to the meeting last time. Semiconductors are a core field, and the country should support them. Without you, there would be no us!" President Liu put one hand on Lu Feng's shoulder and shouted in his ear, "Don't even mention computers, there will be a lot of chips in future mobile phones too."
"We're also in the display screen business. We've been talking to Sharp about cross-patenting. If it goes through, we can supply you with LCD screens!" Lu Feng said loudly, lighting a cigarette. "Damn it, let the Chinese people use good stuff first."
General Manager Liu gave Lu Feng a thumbs up, agreeing with his words. After a few minutes of conversation, the two decided to include him in the procurement list.
The drinking session officially ended with the two of them singing Wakin Chau's latest song, "Friends."
The next day, Lu Feng didn't wake up until late morning. After a quick meal, he visited various departments in the afternoon through some connections. They discussed Hurricane Semiconductor's entry into the national office procurement process. During the conversation, Lu Feng repeatedly mentioned President Liu's approval of him.
Hurricane Semiconductor's next version of the processor will be able to achieve 80% of Intel's capabilities, which is more than enough for general office use. The only downside is that it will be a bit slower, but that's not a big problem for current computer applications.
Having spent a week in Beijing, spending money where he needed to and treating others to meals as he pleased, Lu Feng had very few problems dealing with given his current connections.
After returning to Shenzhen from Beijing, Lu Feng spent two more days with Duo Duo. After this summer, she will be a second-year junior high school student. Lu Feng made a special trip to the school to communicate with the teachers. The child's foundation is not bad, and her scores in all subjects are above 90.
According to her teacher, if she were to focus more on her studies, she could easily be in the top ten of her grade, maintain that position until the end of junior high, and getting into a good high school would be a sure thing.
Everyone at school knows that Duoduo has three "mores": more money, more sisters, and more boyfriends.
Before leaving, Lu Feng had a special talk with Duo Duo. She was already a big girl, and he told her to focus on her studies. Lu Feng also treated the teachers and principal to a meal and gave them red envelopes as a token of his appreciation.
Back in Hong Kong, Lu Feng focused his energy on research and development, while also asking Zhu Lidong to devote some of his energy to the mainland, especially on centralized procurement. He also suggested that Zhu go back and catch up with some old acquaintances.
He protested against the fact that Japan was still wanted by him, saying that he had no problems in Hong Kong, but Japan was using its power to make things difficult for him.
Such protests were naturally useless. I spoke with the president of Sharp several times by phone. He was quite satisfied with the price offered for the hurricane, but there were some internal disagreements. Some people believed that we should not provide technical support to domestic companies, while others felt that technology was only for making money.
Liu Cheng made more than a dozen trips to Japan, and it wasn't until early June that the matter took a turn for the better. In the end, the two parties reached an agreement: Hurricane Capital would pay $80 million as a basis, and the two parties would conduct cross-patenting on 76 core patents, including patents related to liquid crystal displays, panels, and information transmission.
Hurricane Semiconductor possesses world-class capabilities in signal transmission, compilation, mobile phone motherboard and circuit design, chip design, and wireless radio frequency technology.
Hurricane's first-class technology either came from its cooperation with Nokia or from technology that had just emerged in the 1990s. As long as it was a technology that was iterated by developed countries, Hurricane was second-class.
It's already mid-June, and there's only one important thing left: attracting talent.
Before leaving, Su Yourong invited Lu Feng to an electronics technology dinner, which was nothing more than a disguised exchange meeting. Su Yourong subtly inquired about what Lu Feng had been busy with lately.
Knowing that Lu Feng was wholeheartedly devoted to the company, she felt relieved. The next morning, before leaving, she told Lu Feng not to overwork himself and to take good care of himself.
On June 17th, after returning to the mainland, Lu Feng flew to Xi'an without stopping and appeared at the campus recruitment fair of the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China. This was Hurricane Capital's exclusive campus recruitment fair, and also its first campus recruitment fair. Zhu Lidong had put in a lot of effort to be the first one.
On stage, Wei Yandan introduced the company's benefits, management, and prospects. Then Zhu Lidong went on stage to introduce the industry prospects, personal development, and future work opportunities. He said that if you come to Hurricane Semiconductor, you can work in Hong Kong and earn Hong Kong dollars if you are not so good, or in major R&D centers abroad if you are not so good.
From discussing the future of the industry to personal growth, Zhu Lidong even made up a story about himself, saying that he was also an electronics major, had difficulty finding a job after graduation, and finally found his life's dawn in Hurricane.
"We are the largest semiconductor conglomerate in China. We have in-depth cooperation with major international companies. We have high expectations for all of you. The lady who just spoke is the company president, and the Mr. Liu in front of us is the vice president. I am the vice president. To show how much we value you all, we have come out in full force this time!"
