Chapter 662 You Can't Make Products Based on Feelings

After the high-level executives of the two parties reached an agreement on the content of cooperation, the new round of cooperation between Yuanqi Technology and Toshiba has embarked on a fast track.

With the previous mobile phone IC design project as the basis, the cooperation between the two parties this time can be said to be very familiar.

A week later, on February 10th, the two parties held a grand signing ceremony at the headquarters of Yuanqi Technology.

When Yang Ge, representing Yuanqi Technology, and Toshiba President Satoshi Nishinoka signed the memorandum of cooperation, Wu Tao finally let out a sigh of relief and put his heart back into his stomach.

He has always been worried that such high-end technology output cooperation may be affected by political factors, resulting in side effects, or simply being aborted. Fortunately, none of this happened, and the cooperation between the two parties finally fell to the ground.

Of course, this has something to do with his good personal relationship with Reina Fujiwara, and it also benefits from the current financial difficulties and severe economic situation in Asia.

It can be said that it is a product of the current situation.

Of course, the potential and strong volume of the Chinese market are also important factors that attract Japanese companies.

Although the signing ceremony was grand, Yuanqi Technology did not make it public or publicize it. On the contrary, Toshiba sent a special correspondent to record the incident, and published a draft in Dongying, hoping to stimulate the company's stock price and give shareholders full confidence.

As for Yuanqi Technology, there is no need for such a publicity campaign, so it is simply kept secret.

Even so, Wu Tao is still very excited, after all, he has settled a big concern.

So when Ni Guangnan recommended three PhDs in computer science who had returned from overseas to join the company, he agreed without even thinking about it.

Seeing Wu Tao finish signing in a smooth manner, Pei Ying couldn't help but secretly stunned: "Boss, these three are all high-level talents with an annual salary of 500,000 yuan, twice as much as our local R&D backbone. Will there be any problems with this?" ah?"

In fact, not only has the annual salary doubled, but the company also provides a series of preferential and convenient conditions such as apartment-style accommodation, in order to retain these talents.

However, Pei Ying's raising this question was not aimless.

The salary gap between local and foreign employees will undoubtedly lead to the result of "foreign monks are easy to chant scriptures".

This kind of result may not be a problem at first, but once the contact has been going on for a long time, the responsibilities and work content of the local and foreign personnel will gradually approach, or even overlap, and there will be problems if the gap is so large.

So Wu Tao thought about it and explained: "First of all, this salary level is proposed by Academician Ni, and I still have to give it some face. Secondly, if the company's local talents can play an equally important role as foreign talents in the future, then The salary level is also in line with this standard!"

When Pei Ying heard this, she widened her beautiful eyes and stuck out her tongue, "It makes me want to do technology research and development..."

After sending Pei Ying away, Leng Ning knocked on the door and entered.

"Boss, for Sony and Sharp's LCD panel products, do we need to have any preference when we examine and measure them?"

Even though he has already served as the person in charge of the product development direction, Leng Ning's habit is still straightforward and straightforward.

Fortunately, Wu Tao had no selfish intentions in this matter, otherwise, if his subordinates asked him such a question, he might not be able to step down on the spot.

"There is no need to be biased." Wu Tao looked at Leng Ning meaningfully and said, "It is nothing more than a comprehensive consideration of cost, technology, quality, yield rate and after-sales. If you are really not sure about the characteristics of the color LCD screen, It is also possible to consider a plan for the coexistence of diversification.”

"...In short, on the premise of ensuring the quality of the third-generation mobile phone products, we should try our best to choose suppliers with excellent and advanced product features."

Leng Ning wrote it down and said: "Since this is the case, then I can rest assured."

There is no impenetrable wall in the world.

Although the signing ceremony of the technical cooperation with Toshiba was not held publicly with much fanfare, a few days later, the domestic media was still full of publicity.

At the same time, some well-known figures in the industry began to express their views on this cooperation.

The result is not very ideal.

There were two distinct factions in the newspapers. One was the opposition headed by Lenovo Liu Chuanzhi. They believed that the time for chip localization was not yet ripe, and this move by Yuanqi Technology was a blind investment and expansion.

As for the argument, it is nothing more than a series of sales data in the domestic chip market, which seems to be very logical.

In contrast, the voices of the supporters seem a little weak.

Regarding these different opinions, Wu Tao glanced at the newspaper, and then ignored it.

Go your own way, don't worry about so much.

On the contrary, Ni Guangnan wrote a few manuscripts in response to the appointment, but in the end, there was no result.

On the contrary, he was so angry with himself.

It is difficult to have any results in verbal criticism. What's more, the discussion is still about the future, so it is even more difficult to tell the winner.

Wu Tao didn't want to interfere with Academician Ni's freedom of speech, but the two consecutive counterattacks failed to achieve the desired effect, and when there was a tendency to intensify, he decisively called the other party.

"Mr. Ni, what I mean is that there is no need to fight between emotions. I will try my best to ignore these smoky remarks in the newspapers in the future. As the pioneers of the domestic chip industry, we just keep a low profile. What do you think?"

Ni Guangnan was taken aback for a moment, and then he argued: "But boss, I'm not out of a dispute, I want to use this debate to promote the necessity of chip localization to the general public, and lay the foundation for our future product promotion. "

"...Otherwise, without the support of the domestic market, even if our domestic chips are made, it will be difficult to open a breakthrough in the market..."

However, before Ni Guangnan finished speaking, he was interrupted by Wu Tao.

"Mr. Ni, when we do products and markets, we first rely on the quality of the product, secondly on the cost, thirdly on the service, and even some other factors. Finally, we can rely on patriotism and other feelings. .”

"... So unless you lack confidence in our localized chips now, don't rely on verbal persuasion of consumers to open up a breakthrough in the market."

Ni Guangnan was still puzzled and said: "But we make localized chips, which is actually a big cause related to the country and the nation..."

It's really stubborn, Wu Tao shook his head and laughed: "That being said, it's not fair for ordinary people who are the main players in the market to pay for their patriotism. Isn't it?"

"If I don't open a breakthrough from this aspect, then I really can't think of how to carry out marketing in the future." Ni Guangnan said in a deep voice.

Wu Tao waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "I'm very happy that you can consider this issue now. But I have a solution for this matter, and we will see and decide when the time comes. You can rest assured!"
