Chapter 201: The water does not flow to outsiders’ fields

Li Siming went to Hong Kong again because this day was the official establishment of MSI Research Institute in Hong Kong. This is the first research institute established by MSI Technology Group Central Research Institute outside Shenzhen or the mainland.

In addition to making a huge profit, Li Siming was most happy to see the development and growth of the research institute. As an engineer, Li Siming advocated technology supremacy, and as a boss, of course he did not reject market supremacy. For example, semiconductor companies clearly have microprocessors with higher technical levels like 486, but the mainstream in the Chinese market is still the 386 series, because the latter is cheaper and basically meets the needs of most people for office work. Americans have launched more powerful Pentium processors, and for Li Siming and MSI semiconductor, this technical gap cannot be caught up. Therefore, Li Siming focuses on the growth of the technical team and the improvement of the quality of technicians.

MSI Research Institute in Hong Kong was built on the last piece of land held by the company in Hong Kong. Today, it will welcome the first batch of foreign researchers, including Hong Kong-based researchers, 70 of whom are senior experts who have just dug up from Russia. They will cooperate with the research institute headquarters in Shenzhen to conduct relevant basic research. These Russians can be said to be absolutely cheap and good. Li Siming offered a salary of about 70% of the United States' engineers of the same level, which made these Russians cry. This price is even lower than the salary of equivalent personnel at the Shenzhen headquarters, because the latter will receive high rewards from time to time. Russian talents joined in and before they could bring anything valuable to the company, they could only get this fixed salary. Gao Shengli was appointed as the dean of the new research institute, and the most important reason why he also knew some Russian.

If possible, Li Siming hopes to establish such a research institute in Europe, the United States and Japan. His desire for technology is more obsessed with him than his desire for money. Moreover, he must provide the necessary supplementary power for the Shenzhen Institute of General Hospital, and it is also a competitive force. When the achievements are increasing, the engineering engineers of the Shenzhen Institute of General Hospital will naturally develop a certain degree of laziness. Li Siming hopes to see every engineer maintain strong fighting spirit. Especially in terms of semiconductors, Intel is a mountain. Although Li Siming has a competing heart, it is only spiritual.

After the delivery ceremony of the new research institute was completed, at the lunch meeting, Li Siming made a series of enthusiastic speeches in Russian, and happily drank a full glass of specially prepared vodka in front of these Russians, which made the Russians' favors soar.

"Russia is a great nation, and the Russians have a broad mind like Russia's territory. With your joining, MSI will be more prosperous. A year later, or even a few months later, I hope to see some of you come to me with your scientific research results and ask for a salary increase!" Li Siming joked, "Napoleon said that soldiers who don't want to be generals are not good soldiers. I, Li Siming, want to say that engineers who don't want to get high salaries are not good engineers. The higher the salary you get, the happier I am. As long as I don't want to get bankrupt, just don't let me go!"

Li Siming's frankness and even flattery made everyone, especially Russians, happy, and their favorability towards Li Siming reached a new level. In other words, Li Siming is good at mobilizing the atmosphere and getting closer to the relationship. His fundamental purpose is to make profits for himself, and it also makes people feel that this seems to be a favor given by Li Siming unilaterally, just like owing him a lot of money.

The result was that Li Siming was soaked by the Russians who flocked to him that he could not find him.

At the same time, referring to the successful experience of MSI's cooperation between the Central Research Institute and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Hong Kong Research Institute and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology cooperated with MSI, and was funded by MSI to carry out cooperation in scientific and technological research.

Li Siming's appearance in Hong Kong has always attracted the attention of the media, and this time is no exception. There is always news to dig in him. His trip to Hong Kong has included some heavyweight business people like Li Chaoren.

"Don't ask me how much money I have, or how to deal with my wealth. My money will naturally be used where I should be used. One thing is certain is that I won't think it's too much money; don't ask my family, that's my private question, my family is perfect and happy. I'm sorry, my wife and I are also very loving and have no plans to divorce yet. If there is any so-called "emotional crisis" or something, I will definitely expose it to you in advance; don't ask my past. When I write my memoir, I will definitely give you one and attach my autograph. I am just an engineer or boss now. If you want to interview me and our company in the future, please respect these points. If you respect me, I will definitely respect your legitimate interview requirements!" Li Siming clearly set the principles when he was interviewed by a reporter.

"Mr. Li, it is said that the American ibm company recently revealed that the company hopes to form a partner with MSI semiconductor and hopes to equip MSI semiconductor's microprocessors in its OEM computer products in its Asian factory. What do you think about this?" A reporter asked.

"We have noticed related news reports, but we are certainly very welcome to receive the official commercial letter from ibm. ibm's computer products have a very high reputation in the market. It once had many customers in the mainland market. Even the first batch of computers used by our MSI Technology company were also products of ibm. There is a problem here. On the one hand, the US government talks about free trade and on the other hand, the trade barrier policy is a double standard. If this protection policy does not change, why should our mainland market unilaterally against Americans for Americans?

Open? Currently, our microprocessor export proportion accounts for 20% of the total output, and the export market is spread all over the world, and the growth rate can be calculated in monthly time units. In other words, we are growing every month, and we are not in a hurry to enter the US market." Li Siming said, "So we urge the US government to open up the market while requiring others to open up the market. Mutual benefit and reciprocity are the basic principles of normal trade exchanges. It is extremely infuriating for relevant U.S. trade departments to formulate a measure to restrict the use and sales of chips made in China."

"Intel launched the Pentium microprocessor this year, and the overall computing performance is three times faster than 486. Your company's corresponding products have not been launched yet. Some market analysts want to know whether your company has the ability to catch up, or whether your company adopts a follow-up strategy? Mr. Li, what do you think?"

"Of course, we have a clear understanding of this gap, which reminds us that we will never have a safe time to sleep. Market competition, including technological competition, is always the main theme. We need to strengthen capital investment and scientific management. I believe that similar products will appear in the next year. This requires our engineers to maintain strong fighting spirit, which is one of the reasons why MSI Hong Kong Research Institute was established. I believe that more and more well-educated engineers will join us, and one day we will be in a market leadership position." Li Siming said, "Some people always compare MSI semiconductors with Intel. I am very happy about this. For me, I really hope to always have a goal of catching up. As the saying goes, it is not me who stands at the highest point!"

"Mr. Li, anycall Telecom is currently in the listing guidance period. Can you predict the future stock price of the company?" A reporter asked, "The current total market value of Xiangjiang Electric Appliances has risen to seven times in less than two years, reaching a market value of HK$35 billion. Investors have received high returns. Currently, investors are optimistic about the listing of anycall Telecom, because the company is said to have a profit margin of 20%. Investors are looking forward to buying stocks. How many shares will you issue to the public in detail?"

"To be honest, I don't care much about anycall telecommunications' listing, because we are not short of money!" Li Siming said. Everyone laughed out loud, and everyone knew that Li Siming and other shareholders were all huge.

"But why go public? Because we want the company to gradually enter the environment of the international market. After becoming a listed company, various laws and regulations allow the company to enter a platform supervised by the public to ensure the sustainable development of the company. As for the details, it is the business of investment experts." Li Siming explained, "Providing an investment opportunity for Hong Kong investors, including small and medium-sized investors, is also a way for us to give back to society. You don't know that the leaders of the Shenzhen Municipal Government always tell me that the fat water should not flow to outsiders! We strongly require us to go public in Shenzhen."

Everyone laughed.

"Hello, Mr. Li, I am a reporter from "Finance" and also a stock investor. I really want to know how much stocks anycall telecommunications company are issued to small investors like us?"

"This time is different from Xiangjiang Electric Appliances. We only sell a small part of our stock to institutions. We publish publicly to small and medium-sized investors. If you have confidence in me, please queue up on the eve of the company's listing and issuance of shares. I think you will definitely not regret it!" Li Siming tempted the stock investor reporter. He drew a huge cake, which made people think of it.

"I would like to ask, do your company and you have any investment plans in the future?"

"Today, many top figures in the Hong Kong business community, as well as Deputy Mayor Qin from Shenzhen. They came here for a common goal. The goal is to establish a venture capital company, which is located in the high-tech field in the mainland, and provide entrepreneurial funds for those dreamers who are full of entrepreneurial passion and passionate creativeness. As a businessman, I am trying to make money, but I can get these entrepreneurs from the initial stage of their funds. This is what I think is very meaningful. What I want to make is that this scope will cover all Chinese entrepreneurs at home and abroad, on the condition that the company will be established in Hong Kong or Shenzhen! Of course, if there are better investment projects, I will not be limited to domestic companies." Li Siming said.

So far, all investment plan costs have been successful and have achieved great success. While people are amazed at his rapid success, they have to sigh at the accuracy of his vision. The Hong Kong business community includes more non-business people, and they look at this mainlander with admiration. Even those entrepreneurs who rely on traditional industries have to sigh:

"This world has changed. Why do I work hard for entrepreneurs to earn these property for the rest of my life? Li Siming easily became a super rich man at a young age. Is technology really that easy to make money?"

People who think of this are older people. They all started from inconspicuous small business when they were young, and put in a lot of hard work and personal hard work to earn their property. By the time they became billionaires, Huafa was already born. But times have changed, and the tide of the knowledge economy has already developed rapidly. Young men can also become a billionaire overnight. This wave of rapid success is increasingly impacting people's traditional concepts and attracting more young people to join the tide of entrepreneurship like moths to the flames.

Li Siming's main task this time is to discuss the equity of venture capital companies with Hong Kong rich people. This matter was actually what Li Siming mentioned at the Shenzhen Future Development Strategy Seminar. Shenzhen Municipal Government leaders also believe that it is necessary to set up such a company.

At first, this had nothing to do with Hong Kong rich people, but the third uncle of the Zeng family kept staring at MSI and wanted to participate in the shares. Li Siming doubted whether Zeng Zhi was his undercover agent. Li Chaoren, who was also a partner with Li Siming, also joined in. They were very concerned about Li Siming's investment plan, especially after the tripartite joint investment in semiconductor materials companies was successful, they saw the huge benefits of the high-tech industry. Therefore, one to ten, ten to hundreds, and more Hong Kong rich people also strongly demanded to join in. So Li Siming had to come to Hong Kong, and the future company would also be established in Hong Kong.

"Is there any business secrets in this world?" Li Siming couldn't help thinking.

"Why can each person only invest one million shares?" Uncle Zeng San asked in surprise. This investment of one million US dollars per person is too pediatric and is definitely an insult to the rich.

"Not surprising? How much does Microsoft need to start a business? For many high-tech startups, at first, they only need to have a place to live, a few decent computers and necessary office supplies," Li Siming explained. "I admit that everyone is rich, but if each of you invests 100 million at a time, I can't just invest it casually, right? And it's an absolute waste to keep it in your hands!"

"It's okay, it's okay, we have confidence in you!" a rich man shouted.

"Mr. Li, if you have money, everyone will make money together!" Another shouted.

"Mr. Li, in fact, we don't have to invest in high-tech industries. Where can we invest in the mainland? It will be around 1997, and it is our obligation to contribute to the development of the country!" The person who spoke, I wonder if it was really because of his "consciousness" or because it was profitable, said such words with great sentiment.

"Make money together!" Da Qi said in unison.

Li Siming is not very concerned about personal wealth. He is very happy with the growth of personal wealth because the more he can do what he wants to do. But if more people are willing to do it with him, he will of course be happier. If he can attract Hong Kong rich people to do it with him, he can accumulate more funds and transfer it to domestic entrepreneurs, so that countless entrepreneurs with lofty dreams can obtain start-up funds for development. This is undoubtedly a very meritorious thing. So he doesn't mind turning this venture capital company into a company with many Hong Kong rich people involved.

"Okay, I wonder how much you want to vote?" Li Siming asked.

"I'll pay five million US dollars!" Someone said this number, but he soon regretted it because he was despised by everyone except Li Siming.

"I'll pay ten million!" The man said a number, but he was quickly surpassed.

"I'll pay 20 million!" Another contemptuously despised the previous one.

"I'll pay 100 million US dollars!" Uncle Zeng San was rich and arrogant. But Li Chaoren said: "I'll pay 200 million US dollars!"

These two of them have indicator significance and tacitly made a move until the end, just like the one who bids the final bid after the auction, full of enthusiasm for winning. Especially the latter's move made others regret it, and they changed their words and increased their investment. In the end, Li Siming received an investment commitment of nearly 3 billion US dollars.

Deputy Mayor Qin looked at the rich people in front of him with every word, just like watching a special auction of rare treasures, and was already stunned.

"If you have money, you can't invest rashly for a goal that doesn't know the future?" Deputy Mayor Qin thought to himself. Originally, the Shenzhen Municipal Government and Li Siming discussed it almost all. Both parties each have 50% of the shares, with an investment of only 10 million US dollars. If you invest in three to five valuable projects every year, it will be a blessing to have one or two of them succeed in the end. Unexpectedly, this matter was a big deal and attracted so many Hong Kong rich people to "donate generously". Why do they always think of "reducing turtles" when they ask them to invest in their motherland? This person is really annoying!

"Hey, how should I spend so much money?" Li Siming thought so, "Where are so many good projects in the world?"

But more people are concerned about anycall Telecom's listing soon.
Chapter completed!
