20 years of restarting life

Chapter 3862 Jin Feiyue's Troubles
Zhao Chang'an and Jin Feiyue were sitting in business class. He had slept well last night and was feeling refreshed.

On the contrary, Jin Feiyue had two swollen eyes and looked like he hadn't slept enough.

The five members of DeWeiner's team took off from the city an hour earlier than the scheduled flight. Before leaving, DeWeiner, in his personal capacity, expressed his hope that if the Jiangcheng wafer fab project could be finalized, Zhao Chang'an could propose to Ericsson that he serve as Ericsson's representative for the Jiangcheng wafer fab.

Zhao Chang'an naturally agreed. Although De Weiner was the vice president of Ericsson, his life was not easy. Zhao Chang'an had seen his resume. His major in college was communications and mechanical manufacturing. After graduation, he joined Ericsson and focused on product manufacturing, which he has been doing for more than 20 years.

However, the mobile phone manufacturing part that he was originally in charge of has been significantly reduced within the group since Ericsson and Sony formed a mobile phone joint venture in February last year, and except for the China region, all other parts of the manufacturing were outsourced to Flextronics.

Ericsson-Sony mobile phone manufacturing capacity is now divided into three parts. The original Ericsson Gigafactory is now managed by Flextronics, the Chinese joint venture factory is still directly managed by Ericsson's headquarters mobile phone business department, which is the only place where DeWeina can still get involved, and Sony mobile phones are still managed by Toyo Sony Mobile Phone Business Department.

Besides visiting the wafer fab and the 1nm Zhengzhou Pro mobile phone factory, DeWeina's purpose in coming here was to integrate the manufacturing departments of Ericsson and Sony China's two super factories, which had been delayed for a year, and place them under the management of Sony's mobile phone business department.

After this matter is completed, Ericsson will no longer have direct management control over the mobile phone manufacturing plant, and there will no longer be a suitable position for De Weiner in the mobile phone division of Ericsson-Sony's European headquarters.

In other words, if Sony's mobile phone division no longer needs De Weiner to be in charge of the affairs of the two mobile phone manufacturing plants in Yanjing and Jinling in China, he is essentially laid off.

Obviously, Sony's mobile phone division would not invite DeWeiner. The specific reasons are not only that they do not want him to get involved so that more positions can be left open for Japanese people, but also that DeWeiner has been taking the blame for Ericsson's mobile phone quality problems.

Over the past three years, quality complaints about Ericsson phones have mainly focused on issues such as automatic shutdown, freezing, and unresponsive buttons. A typical example is a Chinese user who purchased a T18 in May two years ago. Within a year, the phone under warranty underwent six repairs, with the motherboard being replaced three times.

Due to manufacturing and design defects in the motherboard, and substandard material values, random power outages and restarts, voltage instability, and other issues can occur between the battery and the motherboard, leading to frequent shutdowns, crashes, and button malfunctions in the phone.

The fact that this situation persisted after Flex started manufacturing the motherboards in February last year proves that there are at least problems with the motherboard design and material selection. However, it's difficult for a large ship to change course, so DeWeina still bears the blame.

Although the manufacturing process of wafer fabs is completely different from that of mobile phone factories, if the three parties form a joint venture, Siemens will not need an Ericsson manager who has some knowledge in this area. However, Zhao Chang'an felt that DeWeina's excellent ability to build and manage the supply chain and product manufacturing of the Gigafactory was still worth asking for.

It's worth noting that DeWeiner was previously in charge of the mobile phone industry at one of the world's top three mobile phone manufacturers. Such a top-level manufacturing coordinator is not easy to find.

Zhao Chang'an even considered hiring DeWeina to oversee the global manufacturing and upstream supplier development of the Pro phone if the wafer foundry ultimately didn't offer him a position.

Seeing Jin Feiyue yawn listlessly again and ask the flight attendant for hot coffee, Zhao Chang'an said in surprise, "You didn't do it with Dai Wei again last night, did you? You look so listless."

"I lost interest in all three of them a long time ago. I only used them occasionally because of physical needs. I like Qu Feixue!"

Jin Feiyue perked up a bit when he talked about Qu Feixue, but then his face was full of distress: "I feel like a cat trying to eat a hedgehog when it comes to her, I don't know where to start."

"Because you care, you end up being constrained."

When Zhao Chang'an said this, wasn't he also talking about himself?

"You understand me best. I've thought about it. After Silver Dragon officially merges into the One Nanosystem, you can see who can be the president."

"Stop, stop! You're doing just fine at Silver Dragon, what are you thinking? I don't have any suitable people on my hands."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Chang'an immediately interrupted Jin Feiyue: "What are you thinking? Haven't you seen Wen Ye, Liu Yihui, and Zhong Lianwei working like slaves for Yi Nanmi? I was thinking of being a hands-off boss and happily traveling around and chasing women every day."

Jin Feiyue couldn't really say whether he was disappointed or not. At first, he did enjoy being the president of Yinlong Group for two months, but as he became infatuated with Qu Feixue, the power and pleasure of possessing women could no longer bring him any new or exciting joy.

However, people are always vain creatures. Although Jin Feiyue didn't want to work, he really enjoyed the title of president of Yinlong Group, and he would be a little reluctant to give it up. "Dai Wei and the other two are indeed very capable. In fact, we can make them vice presidents, and I will take charge."

"That's exactly how it is now, except you haven't given him the position."

“If I were to give it to them, the shareholders wouldn’t be willing, especially since the shares are still with the old man.”

"We've come full circle. The main issue now is the shareholding. As for other things, like Vice President Qu Feixue, we'll have to wait until we get the shares before we can discuss them."

"But I also told Dai Wei and the others the truth. The three of them meant that I had to marry one of them, preferably one first, then divorce after having a child, then the second one would take over, and then the third one."

"Pfft!"

Zhao Chang'an couldn't help but laugh.

If things were really done that way, there would be no point in having anything to do with Qu Feixue.

Jin Feiyue sighed and said, "I'm already thirty. After these three marriages, plus having children, and not being allowed to divorce during pregnancy, they know what I'm thinking and will definitely stick to me like this. It will take at least four or five years in total. Even if I can wait, can Qu Feixue wait? Besides, how could she possibly marry an old man who has been married three times and has a bunch of children?"

Zhao Chang'an advised, "Dai Wei and the other two are really good-looking. To be honest, any one of them is prettier and has a better figure than Qu Feixue."

"But I like Qu Feixue!"

Jin Feiyue sighed sadly.

"I bother!"

Zhao Chang'an scoffed disdainfully, "If you really like Qu Feixue, you can leave with nothing and not fight with your father anymore. You can buy a train ticket to Lin'an when you get to Mingzhu. You're hypocritical!"

Jin Feiyue paused for a moment, then said with a wry smile, "You're the one who understands me best."

"Alright, stop telling me your nonsense. I should be gloating over your love life, not expecting any sympathy from you. All the women I like like me, they're all crazy about me, like moths to a flame. There's really nothing I can do about it, so I can't empathize with you."

Zhao Chang'an can boast without batting an eye.

As for Jin Feiyue's love life, Zhao Chang'an had no interest in knowing anything about it. If it were Jin Feiyue a few years ago, he might have given up all his power, money, and status for a woman. However, now that he was in his thirties, he had obviously become more pragmatic than before.

If this had happened a few years ago, this situation of a son fighting with his father over the inheritance probably wouldn't have occurred today.

Since Jin Feiyue only talked a lot but actually worked in the fields, Zhao Chang'an had no interest in caring about anything else.

Outsiders shouldn't concern themselves too much or get involved in their friends' love lives.

He said to Jin Feiyue, "Cheer up, we're almost at Mingzhu, get ready for battle! No matter what happens in the future, if you lose this battle, Dai Wei and the other two definitely won't force you to marry her and have children anymore, but don't even think about Qu Feixue. Don't tell me you don't know, but her dirty, colorful clothes and shoes cost thousands of dollars each, and the watch she wears is more expensive than yours, which costs over ten thousand. And the paint she uses... I won't go into details, you wouldn't understand anyway."
