Chapter 128: Be kind
Chapter 128: Be kind
Zheng Yingjie, the secretary who had been idle for six months, was particularly happy today because when she met Li Siming, she seemed to have found an organization - MSI semiconductor is no longer alone.
"Mr. Li, when will we start construction?" Secretary Zheng asked quickly, pouring a cup of tea for Li Siming.
"Business starts soon. Dr. Su from mit in the United States will bring a few assistants before the Spring Festival. A considerable number of Chinese people studying in the United States will join us next summer. At that time, I won't be worried about not having enough staff. This is also a very cost-effective investment for me. Manager Cui is also recruiting people, right?" Li Siming asked.
"Yes, the first batch of researchers will report next month, and I heard that they were all dug up."
"There is no way, most of the people who are suitable for us are abroad. You know, the environment abroad is much better than that in China. We can only attract people to help by being sincere and not lagging behind foreign treatment and working environment. We can't be too forced to do anything in China, we can only dig one in the east and one in the west." Li Siming said, "If money can buy everything, I am willing to give everything I have!"
"I kept wondering, why don't you make movies and leave Hollywood? It's hard to understand."
"Haha, you can understand slowly. Making movies is just a means, and it is not a good job for me. Didn't anyone say that in China before? The honors in this regard are not as good as making movies to make me happy." Li Siming said, "Have you ever dreamed?"
"Dream? Of course there is!"
"Let me tell me?" Li Siming asked with a smile.
"I..." Zheng Yingjie stammered and didn't say it. Her face turned a little red. She, a girl, had no great ambitions.
Li Siming looked at her embarrassedly and thought he understood.
"Oh, it's me that's abrupt. This is a personal problem!" Li Siming smiled. "When you were a child, you must have heard some fairy tales, wanting to be Cinderella, and then you grew up a little, hoping to meet a boyfriend who is the best in the world. Finally, you live a happy and fulfilling life as mentioned in the love novel! You know I used to make movies, and the movie scripts are usually like this!"
"Nothing can be told!" Zheng Yingjie gritted her teeth and refused to comment. Li Siming seemed to have guessed it right.
"I have also had a dream! This dream has never changed. In fact, everyone has their own dreams. Some people just want to own a house, some people just want to own a luxury car, some people want to be vigorous, but some people just want to live a peaceful life. This is understandable. There is no question of who is greater and noble. For each of us, dreams are the driving force for our love for life." Li Siming paused for a moment, as if thinking, "Since I came to this world, I have this dream."
"What dream?"
"Let technology have the wings of freedom!" Li Siming stood in front of the wide floor-to-ceiling window, looking at Shenzhen Bay in the distance, as if he wanted to fly.
Secretary Zheng looked at Li Siming's tall figure and seemed to understand it, but such things were not a question she was concerned about. She was just an ordinary employee. Doing her job well is enough for her boss.
"Do you know what dreams our Vice President Xu had ever had?" Li Siming asked.
"What dream?"
"He once thought that he could be a worker in a factory in Beijing, and that he could get a monthly salary of neither high nor low, and whether he lived a good or bad life, and that he would be content with finding a wife who was neither good nor bad." Li Siming said, seeing Secretary Zheng's look of laughter, "You Hong Kong people don't understand. You think we were fanatical back then, but we think we were sincere and we were willing to give everything for this dream. However, reality is always surprising. After this dream is shattered, everyone becomes practical. Vice President Xu wants to be a worker, and Vice President Yuan wants to go to college and then hold a job of iron rice. It's just that they want to get rid of the good wishes of clearing the land and farming situation. No one laughs at them because everyone thinks so, but at that time everyone thinks these wishes are too difficult to realize."
"But isn't he better now than before? At least everyone has the opportunity to manage a company!"
"Yes, of course he is very strong, but he has lost more, so he can be said to have ended his hard work. If the opportunity is too bad, then it will be another matter. Well, if we don't talk to you about these, we have a generation gap! There is a problem with communication."
"Is there a generation gap?" Secretary Zheng tried hard to control his emotions and jumped off the building without depression. "You are just three years older than me, oh no, eight years old!"
"You have to figure out whether you are three years old or eight years old!" Li Siming smiled, "Details determine success or failure, and you think so too. False reporting of data is not a good phenomenon!"
"This is my right!" Secretary Zheng is a woman, and she is almost at an awkward age. The woman's age is equivalent to state secrets. Even her boss is not willing to tell the truth, "If you really want to know, you can go to Manager Cui, he has information about everyone there."
"My curiosity is not that strong!" Li Siming said, "Go and see my baby with me!"
The treasure Li Siming mentioned is not a rare treasure, but a variety of scientific research equipment obtained through great efforts, most of which are from Japan and the United States, and a small part are from Germany and France. The two small process lines for research and a formal production line are from Japan and have a considerable level. The reason why we use the word "彩" is to show that this process is quite difficult. Although there is no cheating, it also takes a lot of effort. Thanks to Saburo Watanabe, a "Japanese friend". In the semiconductor industry, the Japanese should do better in industrialization, and the Americans should be better in basic research. In today's era, the Japanese and Americans represent technological innovation and progress, especially in the rising semiconductor industry, it is not certain who can laugh to the end.
Watanabe was trying so hard, and he was only involved because of his personal friendship and a piece of the pie. But in the end, Li Siming and others' stalls became bigger and bigger, and they had a tendency to swallow all high-tech equipment. The blueprints drawn became clearer and clearer and more "great". If he didn't have a bigger idea, he would be too sorry for himself.
Li Siming once promised to give him 10% of his shares in Xiangjiang Electric Appliance Company to repay him for his efforts. However, Saburo Watanabe himself hoped to obtain some shares in MSI Technology in his heart, but he was busy, and Li Siming has been busy "making money" in the United States - every penny Li Siming earned, so Watanabe knew very well that Li Siming had absolute voice, and Zeng Zhi only looked very glorious to outsiders.
On the one hand, Saburo Watanabe didn't have the chance to talk to Li Siming, but on the other hand, he was a little "fear" about Li Siming - he even saved his life. What's more, if it weren't for Li Siming, Watanabe wouldn't be today, so he felt a little embarrassed. Saburo Watanabe happened to be in the company today. When he heard that Li Siming was coming, he thought about it over and over again and prepared to talk to Li Siming.
"Aming, I have something I want to talk to you about!" He found Li Siming who was looking around on the tenth floor. He became the first guest in Li Siming's office with good configuration, if he was considered a guest.
"Oh, okay!" Li Siming agreed to see this international friend whose expression was so serious that his head was even more sparse.
In the office, Secretary Zheng thoughtfully gave Watanabe a cup of black tea. She is a person with good observation and can quickly know everyone she has come into contact with, so she is a competent secretary, at least at present. She has always been curious about Li Siming and other senior managers: Boss Zeng Zhizeng came from a wealthy family, but he has no airs. He is closer to these brothers and brothers, and is completely different from the young masters she remembers; Xu Zijian, Zhang Hua and Yuan Hou three vice presidents
They were not arrogant, they were more like entrepreneurs, and the few were close to each other, and the three of them did not regard Boss Zeng as their boss; what was even more strange was that Watanabe, a Japanese man, spoke standard Northeast Chinese, and didn't know that he thought he was an authentic Chinese. The origin of this man had different versions. The most popular saying was that this man was once a Japanese invader, with Chinese blood on his hands, and invested in China to apologize. Watanabe was very unfair, he was just overly mature, less than fifty.
"On New Year's Day, the electrical appliance company will be officially produced!" Watanabe said, staring at the teacup.
"Yes, we have always spent money, and it's time to give us a chance to make money!" Li Siming said.
"The semiconductor company has also purchased all equipment, which has cost me my life, and it is not easy to get it all."
"Of course, most of the military merit medals are yours." Li Siming said in his heart that this person was not here to perform his merits, right?
"Azhi is busy re-registering the company now, right?" Watanabe still didn't get into the topic.
"Yes. I said, something is wrong with you today. If you have something to do, open the skylight and say something bright!" Li Siming was surprised, "You have also lived in the Northeast for half your life. As the saying goes, the land and the other people are nourished. Just talk about it quickly, I'll listen carefully."
"Azhi re-registered the company. I think it is to clarify the equity of all the company's assets?" Watanabe said carefully. "I also occupied 10% of the shares in the electrical appliance company. It happened that I was doing business a few years ago and the inheritance left to me by my parents. I mean... do you understand?"
"I understand what? I originally understood, but I don't understand what you go around." Li Siming's face was very depressed, "What kind of work do you do?"
As for whether Li Siming really doesn't understand or pretends to be confused, only he knows it himself. Watanabe is really depressed. As far as he talks about this, he doesn't believe that Li Siming, a smart person, really doesn't understand.
"Okay. What I mean is that I want to own some shares in this offshore holding company. I will take out all my personal money and take as much as I can. How about it?" Watanabe took it aside. Whether Li Siming was heartless or laughed at him for having little money, he didn't care.
In fact, when Watanabe came to the door today, Li Siming knew his purpose. This person once beat the drums in front of Zeng Zhi and others, and expressed his thoughts in a roundabout way, in order to know the possibility of joining the small circle of five people, and to find out how much money Li Siming earned and how much his assets could be taken up? Li Siming is not short of money at the moment, and he knows that the key lies in Li Siming's attitude. In this strategic matter, Li Siming said that it would be fine, otherwise it would be useless no matter how much money Watanabe himself had.
Regarding the future, Li Siming has a longer-term plan than others, or predicts that the company will start now, and the future will not be limited to the domestic market. Not only the procurement of technical equipment, the introduction and exchange of external technologies, or the development of overseas markets, a considerable person needs to take responsibility, and this person's identity has special requirements - whether he admits it or not, if he is blocked from foreign technology and markets, the value of a relatively detached identity is necessary. Zeng Zhi received the Hong Kong ID card, and his family is quite influential in Hong Kong and overseas, and the company's registered place is also in the British Virgin Islands and Hong Kong. Watanabe is a Japanese citizen, but he himself does not have the awareness of being a Japanese, and even his wife is a Hong Konger. Watanabe is the identity of a strategic investor in Li Siming's plan, but it is much closer than a strategic investor.
Watanabe's wealth and assets, plus the inheritance left by his parents when he died, were about 200 million US dollars. Of course, his own company's business has basically stagnated in the past two years. Since Li Siming wanted him to join, but he didn't know how to distribute equity, this guy helped him a lot and abandoned his company's business. Of course, at that time, Li Siming didn't expect Watanabe's "ambition" was not small, and he doubted whether Watanabe did it on purpose. Li Siming felt a little guilty, and all of him, the "smart man", pretended to be confused, waiting for Watanabe to speak himself and fell into the trap. Zeng Zhi and others were embarrassed to say to Watanabe: Take out all your money, let's work together. So this matter was handed over to Li Siming.
"How much are you going to vote?" Li Siming asked.
"How much can it take up to 200 million US dollars?" Watanabe said happily when he saw that Li Siming had no intention of objection.
"Our company now has about one billion US dollars in cash alone. Well, I heard that the yen is more valuable now? In addition, this building has 30 years of land use rights, and there are still ten lands of varying value in Hong Kong. In addition, it goes without saying that the value of the shares we hold in the US through offshore companies. Only those who know how to know this will know." Li Siming said. Speaking of the shares occupied by Microsoft, although this future super company has not yet issued shares to list, Li Siming is really reluctant to let others get a share.
"Then I suffer a little, what about 10%?" Watanabe thought quickly and gritted his teeth. "In addition, the two pieces of land I own in Tokyo and Osaka, and an office building, will be added together, and it will be cheaper for you!"
"Look at you like this, I've taken advantage of you?" Li Siming was even more depressed. He didn't want to suffer too much. Business is business. "I'm not talking nonsense with my eyes. My film company makes a lot of money every year, and it can continuously ensure that our cash flow will not be cut off. You should understand the importance of a considerable cash flow for a company to continue operating. You are making a fortune!"
"Then how much do you want to give me?" Watanabe asked with a stare, but his eyes were too small and had no lethality. "Don't go too far. I have no credit for the past few years and have worked hard. I have my wife and children and a whole family to raise!"
"I think you are not at the point where you need to worry about your wife and children's meals?" Li Siming smiled, "Then it's 10%, but I promise, as a shareholder, you won't be too relaxed."
"That's good, that's good." Watanabe was extremely excited when he heard this, "What are your special requests?"
Special request? Why do everyone say that! Li Siming will not be so interested in this bald old man, he will only squeeze all the residual value of this guy:
"I only purchase from abroad, whether it is equipment, raw materials or technology introduction, you are responsible for it. If you want to be advanced, you must be as advanced as possible. If you want to be cheaper, you must be as cheap as possible. It doesn't matter if you can't use it now. We have places to store it, don't ask me why? I'm not spending money randomly. If I can, I'm willing to spend all my money and buy all the equipment I will use in the future!"
"The Grand Marshal is very interested in your Japanese technical industry worker team. If you find a way to dig more, you can even retire. Come to us as a master, and it doesn't matter if we spend more money to support it. Don't roll your eyes. You are a shareholder, and this is also making money for yourself!"
"When I was in the United States, I heard that Americans were doing the so-called "Six Sigma" movement, which was of quality control. I don't quite understand. You Japan also seem to be doing various improvement movements. Please ask me if you can learn something and figure out what's going on. It's a great achievement! You are also a Japanese boss, so you should know some of it?"
"In the future, overseas sales, or the company's appearance and public relations at home and abroad, are your responsibilities and Azhi. Don't say that I admire foreign countries and fascinate foreigners. Since we are proclaiming internationalization, then the nominal boss and your shareholder are also an embodiment of internationalization! However, if it goes well, this will be the future."
"Did you remember?" Li Siming said so hard that his mouth was dry. Guru took a sip of tea, and the tea was cold.
"I've recorded it." Watanabe nodded, "But, do they have any objections to my equity? I don't want to make you unhappy with them because of me!"
"You are quite considering me. In fact, I have discussed it with them, don't worry." Li Siming smiled, and gave instructions to him as a partner for most of the day. This man was still thinking about whether his identity was guaranteed.
"That's the case, then I'll be relieved!" Watanabe said happily, but when he thought about it, he became a little unhappy. "After talking for a long time, you all have plans, but I'm kept in the dark, you are really unkind!"
"What else do you want?" Li Siming was furious, "You should be kinder, who else do you want to compete with me?"
"It seems that I have taken a lot of advantage!" Watanabe also smiled, "But since I was doing business, I have understood an axiom. Good people are no longer popular these days!"
"It's good that you know! Then we unkind people unite together, it's a strong alliance!" Li Siming laughed.
Chapter completed!
