Chapter 1045: Comprehensive Cooperation to Strengthen Prestige
Both Intel and AMD's overtures of goodwill prompted the China Electronic Chip Association, Chip Development Research Institute and Tianxin Technology's trip to Los Angeles.
These three organizations, led by Liu Ruoxi, Ni Guangnan and Tao Changxuan respectively, set foot on the IT mecca of California.
For this reason, Wu Tao personally brought people and cars to greet him.
As a result, Wu Yingying had no choice but to go along.
Liu Ruoxi, who set foot on California soil for the first time as a team leader, was dressed in decent business attire, with a ponytail, and walked with energy.
Thinking that I would see Wu Tao soon, I couldn't help but feel a little excited.
As a result, when Liu Ruoxi took the lead and walked out of the not-so-dignified California airport, she took a quick look and saw the figure who had been thinking about it day and night.
Just as he was about to walk up happily, the next second, Liu Ruoxi suddenly stopped.
Why is there a child next to the boss? And they are so big...
After a moment's hesitation, Liu Ruoxi quickly covered it up and continued to walk forward with firm steps: "Thank you, boss, for coming to pick us up at the airport in person!"
Wu Tao waved his hand without saying anything, just touched the head of the child next to him and said, "Here, call me Aunt Xixi."
The child happily called Aunt Xixi, even with a bit of an American accent.
Liu Ruoxi pretended to smile and responded. Her delicate hands were a little sluggish, but she still touched the child's head.
As a result, the child turned around and said loudly to Wu Tao: "Uncle Tao, is this Aunt Xixi also your best friend in this world?"
"You kid~" Wu Tao tried to kick him, but the opponent deftly dodged him.
"Uncle Tao~" Liu Ruoxi keenly captured the information she wanted. Not only did she not care about it, she actually felt happy.
Finally, he mustered up the courage to ask, "Whose child is this?"
Just at this moment, Ni Guangnan and Tao Changxuan, who arrived later, also arrived chatting and laughing. As soon as he saw Wu Tao, after saying hello, he pointed at the child and asked, "Whose child is this?"
Wu Tao simply introduced him, "This is Xiao Xiaotian, the son of my high school art teacher. Now their family has immigrated to California, and his father works at Tianxing Game Company."
After saying that, he put on a straight face and said, "Xiao Xiaotian, why don't you call someone soon!"
I have to admit that Cheng Xiaoman's education was very successful in terms of being polite to others.
Xiaoxiaotian behaved gracefully and exceptionally decently. Although I can never change my emphasis on beautiful English, it has been very difficult to speak such fluent Chinese after living in the United States for several years since I was a child.
After finding out Xiao Xiaotian's identity, Liu Ruoxi felt extremely happy, and even Xiao Xiaotian, who looked at the tiger's head and tiger's head, felt particularly cute.
After the greetings were completed, Wu Tao turned around and waved.
Uncle Zhuang's security team members led the three teams into the car in an orderly manner.
Afterwards, a convoy of nearly twenty luxury cars left the California airport and headed straight to the Hilton Hotel in downtown Los Angeles.
Wu Tao, Xiao Xiaotian, and the three team leaders got into the stretched Cadillac in the middle.
After getting in the car and closing the door, Ni Guangnan looked out the window and sighed: "Boss, it's just an ordinary business trip. Why are you making such a big scene?"
Wu Tao smiled, "Academician Ni, what kind of big event is this?"
Tao Changxuan took the opportunity to make a joke and said: "Boss, don't blame Mr. Ni. He even carried the suitcase himself along the way and never let others do it for him."
Ni Guangnan couldn't help but sigh.
Wu Tao took a look and realized that the mood of this national treasure must be taken care of. So he explained: "Academician Ni, don't take it seriously. The reason why I created such a big scene is actually to let leading companies in the U.S. semiconductor industry pay attention to our Chinese semiconductor colleagues."
"...After all, the next exchanges and cooperation will always rely on you, the backbone."
Liu Ruoxi also persuaded, "Old Ni, the boss is here to build up our reputation."
"Okay." Ni Guangnan nodded, "Boss, you really have good intentions."
Wu Tao waved his hand and immediately changed the subject: "Not long ago, I had a chat with Mr. Liu from Lenovo. Academician Ni, he finally admitted that the original decision was a bit short-sighted, so that Lenovo has always been difficult to develop in terms of independent technology."
"... This time Lenovo failed to acquire the IBM-PC business, leaving them with no way out for technology research and development. After returning, they can only pick it up bit by bit."
Ni Guangnan's mood was immediately diverted, "I have said it before, he just realized it now?" He then frowned and continued: "So what if he realizes it? Under his leadership, Lenovo has been focusing on trade over trade. He has gone too far on the road of 'technology'! His leadership style has left such a strong imprint on the company that it may be difficult to correct it in a while."
These words hit the nail on the head.
Sure enough, Ni Guangnan has a good understanding and grasp of his old club.
So Wu Tao added: "Mr. Liu said that when he goes back this time, he will resign from his position as CEO and retreat to the second line."
"Really?" Ni Guangnan couldn't help but be stunned. He obviously didn't expect this.
Wu Tao nodded.
After Ni Guangnan was stunned, he let out a sigh of relief, took off his glasses, and looked out the window, his eyes full of muddy memories.
No one in the carriage spoke.
Until a moment later, Ni Guangnan put on his glasses and turned around and said: "But having said that, in that situation, his insistence on the word 'trade' may be an important prerequisite for Lenovo to survive those years and develop rapidly. …”
Ni Guangnan talked a lot.
The meaning of some words even vaguely overturned his insistence on putting the word "skill" first for so many years.
But Wu Tao, Liu Ruoxi and Tao Changxuan, none of them cared about the right and wrong.
He just listened quietly to this elder, slowly removing the grudge that had been in his heart for many years.
The motorcade soon arrived at the Hilton Hotel.
Wu Yingying has already made arrangements here. The **** group, consisting of dozens of people, all walked through the green channel to check in.
The following reception banquet did not follow the grand scene in China, but chose to do as the Romans do in the country and chose a Michelin restaurant.
This treatment shocked everyone.
After all, those who can be selected as members of the delegation have some knowledge of Michelin's consumer specifications abroad.
What's more, this place has three Michelin stars!
Many people enjoy such treatment for the first time. Even the pride in my heart was expressed with overflowing words.
Ni Guangnan looked at the sky-high price menu here and couldn't help but said in shock: "Boss, isn't this a bit too extravagant?"
Wu Tao simply passed the blame to Wu Yingying and said: "She is responsible for paying the bill."
Wu Yingying explained with a smile, "Academician Ni, the boss is also here to cheer up the members of the delegation. As long as you can learn more and gain more benefits in the exchanges and cooperation between Intel and AMD, the boss's words will be worth it." What a painstaking arrangement!”
