Chapter 150 Influence

Liu Yunlai was generous and skillful, and Sun Shaojie was smart and transparent. Not only did he help Du Qiu in his career, but he also had similar temperaments in private and maintained a good relationship with friends. Therefore, although Sun Shaobao was disrupting the family dinner at noon, the atmosphere was still very harmonious and the guests and hosts were all happy.

Not long after lunch, Sun Shaobao was called away by a phone call. Before leaving, he said to Du Qiu with a proud look of making a fortune: "Call me after you have finished your work these days, you can do it anytime. I'll take you to see the courtyard."

"Okay, Director Sun walks slowly."

As soon as Sun Shaobao stepped out of the threshold, Sun Shaojie closed the security door vigorously behind him, gritted his teeth and sighed: "This prodigal son! If my grandfather is still alive, he can beat him to death."

Du Chunhua, who was helping to clean up the dishes in the restaurant, was a little uneasy and explained: "Sister Sun, my brother is ignorant. He just said casually on the way to come, your family's ancestral home..."

"Chunhua, don't get me wrong. I'm angry with my brother. It's okay with your brother." Sun Shaojie waved her hand and said with a smile: "That courtyard is left on my brother's hands. It's either rotten or collapsed. It's better to transfer it to Du Qiu. When he is renovated, I can take the little tricks and do whatever he wants to stay there for a few days from time to time."

"If Director Sun really transfers it to me, I will give you the key and live there anytime. He is lazy and can't come to Beijing a few times a year..."

In 1995, there were no large-scale demolition in the capital. There were many courtyards, and the price was not expensive. You didn’t have to buy the Sun family’s set. So Du Qiu didn’t care about it. He made a cup of green tea for himself, and then led by Liu Yunlai to the study. As soon as he entered the door, he asked: “Brother Liu, do you know what the big project mentioned by Director Sun before dinner?”

"He was just making a fool of himself and talking about state secrets. In fact, there is no secret to the project carried out by the Ministry of Electronics Industry. Have you heard of the 908 plan?"

"without."

"908 is a chip manufacturing project carried out by the Ministry of Electronics Industry in 1990. Shaojie and I both wrote news reports for it." Liu Yunlai took the ashtray and walked to the windowsill to light a cigarette, smoking and said: "The goal was very high at that time. I wanted to catch up with the international advanced level in one step. I directly produced chips with a process of 0.8 micron to 1 micron. The results have been proofreading and have been proofing for 5 years, but nothing was done. In these 5 years, foreign chip manufacturing processes have been upgraded for two generations, from 0.8 micron to 0.32 micron."

Du Qiu learned some technical knowledge and gossip about chip manufacturing before traveling, but never paid attention to the development history of China's chip industry in the 1990s. He asked with interest: "What Director Sun is talking about this 908 project?"

"No, 908 is the product of the 85th Plan, and it is outdated now." Liu Yunlai was afraid that Du Qiu would not understand what the five-year plan was, so he explained in detail: "China will formulate a five-year plan every five years from the national level. From 1991 to 1995 belongs to the 85th Plan, from 1996 to 2000 belongs to the 95th Plan. Each department will generally formulate development plans for its respective industries one or two years in advance and submit it to the central government for approval before the end of this year. What Sun Shaobao said should be the project formulated by the Ministry of Electronics Industry for the 95th Plan."

"The project that is planned for the 85th Five-Year Plan is called 908, so the project that is planned for the 95th Five-Year Plan should be called 909, right?"

"Almost, the names of this kind of government project are generally continuous." Liu Yunlai has been a reporter for many years and has a very sensitive sense of policy. He said: "This year, the central government proposed to take the development of the country through science and education as a long-term strategic task, and attaches great importance to chip manufacturing. 909 will definitely be higher in specifications than 908 and has a larger investment. Maybe there are tens of billions of dollars. Sun Shaobao's sharp mind is probably based on the wishful thinking of making money and political achievements."

After Du Qiu traveled through time, he had always been involved in the chip industry. He thought it was a good opportunity and said, "Brother Liu, please pay more attention to this 909 project, every month... No, as long as there is new news, please notify me at any time."

"Mr. Du, are you really planning to invest in chips? I heard that building an 8-inch wafer production line costs at least $1 billion. With Snapdragon's current capital, you can't play it at all."

"If you can't afford to play now, it doesn't mean you can't afford to play in the future. It's always good to make some preparations in advance."

Du Qiu started his business and turned Snapdragon into a multinational company of $1 billion in just a few months. Although he often made small mistakes in business management, he never made any mistakes in strategic layout. Liu Yunlai was already impressed by him. Although he felt that the risk of investing in chips was too high, he no longer opposed it. He smiled and said, "My brother-in-law can't do anything, but his ability to inquire about information is first-class. His ears are more sensitive than us reporters. He jumps up and down whenever there is any movement. In the future, I will get closer to him."

"Doing with Director Sun is very troublesome. From now on, the company will reimburse Brother Liu for 10 boxes of calming the mind and brain replenishing fluid every month."

"Hahaha……"

Liu Yunlai laughed at it, and the landline on the desk rang. After answering a few words, he pressed the hands-free button and said, "Zhou Yuan, Mr. Du is next to me, you can tell him directly."

When Snapdragon was just founded in March, it recruited a total of 6 senior talents with a salary of over 10,000 yuan per month. Among them, Qin Mu and Xiao Wu, five of them were technical, and only Zhou Yuan was a media person, responsible for the company's marketing and publicity work. In May, due to insufficient manpower, Chen Dayou was temporarily seconded to Silicon Valley by Chen Dayou to be responsible for the business promotion of IVie. Du Qiu had no choice but to trick Liu Yunlai to Yuncheng by painting a big cake, allowing him to take charge of all publicity and public relations affairs, and successfully operated the First China Internet Conference.

After ivie was separated from Snapdragon in August, it formed a special marketing team. Zhou Yuan escaped from Silicon Valley and returned to Yuncheng to serve as chief media officer and took over the publicity work. Liu Yunlai stayed in Beijing as a senior vice president, responsible for public relations work, building a social relationship network for Snapdragon and inquiring about various political and business information.

Competing for CCTV's bid is Zhou Yuan's job. He came to Beijing several days in advance for activities and had dinner with people from CCTV's advertising department at noon, so he didn't go to Liu Yunlai's house. After a little greeting with Du Qiu on the phone, he said: "Mr. Du, I made an appointment with Tan Xisong, director of CCTV's advertising department, to meet at the Media Center at 3:30 pm. I have arranged the hotel room."

"good."

"It's only 1:20 now. Why don't I go to Brother Liu's house to meet up with Mr. Du first, and then come here together?"

"Okay, come here."

After Du Qiu hung up the phone, Liu Yunlai took out a memo from the drawer of the desk and said, "Mr. Du, many departments and units have contacted me in the past two days. I want to invite you to a meeting or a speech. You can take a look first."

Du Qiu took the memorandum and found that in addition to the invitations to meetings from government departments related to Snapdragon business such as the Ministry of Electronics Industry, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, and the State Administration of Taxation, there are also invitations to speeches from famous universities such as Beijing University and the School of Posts and Telecommunications, and even activities such as awarding honorary degrees or titles. He couldn't help but laugh and said with a self-death: "I am a person who doesn't have a primary school diploma, so how dare He De go to the university to give a speech."

"Why should Mr. Du belittle himself?" Liu Yun looked through his seemingly self-deprecating but actually satisfied mood, and said with a smile: "I met Professor Pan a few days ago. He said that if you are willing to be a teacher, Beijing University promises to get you a professor certificate within one year."

Professor Pan was one of the experts who went to Yuncheng to attend the Internet Conference in August. He once bewitched Du Qiute's enrollment in Beijing University for undergraduate, master and doctoral studies. Du Qiu was deeply impressed by him and said: "Professor Pan is too exaggerated. Even Einstein cannot be a professor in his early 20s."

"This is really unsure." Liu Yunlai opened the glass door of the bookcase, pulled out a thick clipper from it, turned it out page by page to display it, and introduced: "This is a report on Snapdragon and Mr. Du in important domestic newspapers and publications after the Internet Conference. Four important information was repeatedly mentioned..."

"The first is that Mr. Du did not choose to start a business in Japan, but resolutely returned to China to develop. This is particularly precious in the current social environment where people generally admire foreign countries and fascinate foreign countries. You see, the People's Daily not only published the lyrics of the song "Jasmine Flowers Blooming" you sang, but also posted a commentator article..."

Even the political novices knew that the articles of the People's Daily were extraordinary. Du Qiu picked up the clipper and read it carefully. However, except for taking him as an example and calling overseas students to return to work in China, he did not see any other tricks, so he put it down and continued to listen to Liu Yunlai's introduction.

"The second is the third industrial revolution proposed by Mr. Du at the opening of the Internet Conference, that is, the information revolution represented by the Internet. China missed the first two industrial revolutions for various reasons, causing hundreds of years of backwardness and beating, so we must not miss the third time. The central and local governments attach great importance to this. As of the end of October, 17 senior officials personally led an inspection team to visit Snapdragon, and the calls for accelerating the development of the telecommunications and the Internet industry are getting louder and louder..."

"The third is the knowledge we focused on promoting at that time changes destiny and the concept of millionaires in the sun. The effect is very good. The sentence 'knowledge changes destiny' has been cited by several leaders on different occasions and has appeared three times in CCTV's "News Broadcast"; millionaires in the sun have caused great responses among intellectuals, especially senior intellectuals. According to a survey by the Science and Technology Daily, among scientific research practitioners under the age of 30, 76% are willing to throw away the iron rice bowls of state-owned enterprises, start their own businesses or work in private enterprises, which is more than 20 percentage points higher than last year..."

"The fourth one is the Android operating system, 3c standardization conference and ivie 2.0 only appeared after the release of the release of the release of ivie 2.0. Snapdragon is the first high-tech company that truly possesses world-class advanced technology and formulates international standards since the reform and opening up. It will become China's Microsoft in the future, and Du is China's Bill Gates. Of course, after the successful financing of ivie, Du is already a veritable Chinese Bill Gates, because no one in China is richer than you..."

It took Liu Yunlai more than ten minutes to introduce the content in the newspaper clipping folder, and finally concluded: "Mr. Du, you are now a role model for patriotism, hope of the industry, the myth of wealth, the pioneer of technology, and the idol of young people. With so many halos, what is a professor's title?"

While he was talking, he took out a large clipping of the front-page headline report of IVie's successful financing, put it on his desk, and emphasized: "Mr. Du, creating a company worth $1 billion in 8 months is no less shocking to the Chinese people than the atomic bomb explosion that year, especially you are only 22 years old this year, 22 years old!"

Before Du Qiu traveled, an Internet startup worth $1 billion was only a small star in first-tier cities, far from reaching the level of national attention. Therefore, his impact on IVie in 1995 was insufficient. At this time, looking at the thick newspaper clippings, I felt that the people of the whole country had placed their desire for technology and wealth on him. They were a little Alexander. After a moment of silence, he said, "Actually, I am 23 years old this year."
