The Millennium Semiconductor Survival Guide.

Chapter 206 The Cruel Real World

The last time Cao Yongluo met Zhou Xin was after the New Year's Day of the Millennium. When Zhou Xin visited Zhangjiang Park, Cao Yongluo went with him.

At that time, the Mphone had not yet been released, and mass production had not even started. The main business of Yongxin Technology, which he founded with Zhou Xin, was still producing Matrix keyboards.

He rarely participated in this business, it was just the supplier selection in the early stage, and he was checked by a professional manager who was helped by his family. He was still in school at the time, and his work was relatively leisurely.

Since he decided to manage Yongxin Technology well, Cao Yongluo has been deeply involved in the operation of Yongxin Technology since last year, especially since the middle of the year, he will be preparing for Mphone. Yongxin Technology is responsible for part of the mobile phone assembly and shell production.

At the same time, he had to take care of his graduation thesis. Cao Yongluo felt that he was so busy during that time that he had almost no room to breathe.This also caused him to be thinner and darker than when he met Zhou Xin at the beginning of the millennium.

Seeing Zhou Xin's almost unchanged face, Cao Yongluo felt infinitely emotional for a while: "Zhou Xin, we haven't seen each other for a long time, almost two years.

In just two years, I feel like a century has passed. In the past two years, I have gained a new understanding of the world in the process of running Yongxin Technology. "

Zhou Xin said: "I have never done manufacturing, but just looking at the changes in your appearance, I can probably guess that this period of time must have been very hard."

When Cao Yongluo grinned, Zhou Xin had the illusion of returning to the time when he first arrived in this time and space. At that time, Cao Yongluo invited them to dinner in the dormitory and treated everyone with the generosity of a northerner.

"The manufacturing industry is much harder than the Internet industry. Well, maybe the Internet industry is also very hard, but the manufacturing industry is physically hard, and the Internet industry is more mentally hard.

As for you guy, relying on your IQ crushing, you only need to use your imagination to do things that others can't do no matter how much effort you put in. "

When he really participated in the front line of enterprise management and deeply participated in the operation and management of a company, Cao Yongluo had a new understanding of the fact that Zhou Xin's first venture in American was successful before Zhou Xin.

Judging from the media and listening to me, these difficulties are not one-ten-thousandth of the real difficulties.

The biggest fear of running a manufacturing industry is that there are no orders, no orders, machines idling, and workers paying as usual. The whole pressure is so great that outsiders can hardly imagine.However, Yongxin Technology has no difficulty in this regard, and Matrix's orders will even be allocated to them according to their business conditions.

As much as you can do, I will give you a list of how much.The specific size of Yongxin Technology's operation depends entirely on Cao Yongluo's management level.

Even so, Cao Yongluo feels that it is too difficult to run a business, which is a double temper from the body to the spirit.

After hugging Cao Yongluo with a smile, Zhou Xin said: "I also have my own pressure, I am only superficially relaxed, in fact the mental pressure is no less than others.

There is no easy word in the world of adults! "

Cao Yongluo agreed with this: "You really have been living a very tight life. When we were still in Yanda, you were the first to get up and the last to come back every day. Your daily work and rest are comparable to ascetics.

I was worried that you would never find a girlfriend for the rest of your life, but I didn't expect you to move faster than me. Why don't you introduce me? "

Cao Yongluo was referring to Li Jingyi who was standing next to Zhou Xin, wearing a pink evening gown and holding Zhou Xin's arm. Zhou Xin said: "Cao Yongluo, my former roommate at Yanda University, the assembly and production of Mphone in Huaguo is contracted to his company. .”

Then Zhou Xin introduced to Cao Yongluo: "Li Jingyi, my girlfriend is also from Yanda University, two years older than us."

After finishing speaking, Cao Yongluo waved his hands again and again: "Senior sister, you don't need to introduce any more. When the news of your relationship with senior sister first came out, the personal situation of senior sister has already been picked up everywhere on the Weiminghu forum.

Senior sister, you are very lucky to be with Zhou Xin. Before I knew this, I always thought he was not interested in the opposite sex.Zhou Xin is very outstanding, so I don't need to say more about his achievements. No one in Yan University has higher material achievements than him.Zhou Xin's personality is also very good. During the days with us, he has always been very hardworking, optimistic and positive. The only shortcoming is that he doesn't fit in well.But geniuses are always misfits, and we understand him well.

Zhou Xin, you are also very lucky. The senior sister is a flower in the School of Mathematics of Yanda University, and she is very smart. I saw the report card of the senior sister on the Weiminghu forum. Girls can be ranked in the professional grade points of the School of Mathematics of Yanda University. Top ten, that's an amazing thing.As for personality, I just met my senior sister for the first time, so I don't know much about her. I believe she can attract you, so there must be no problem with her personality.

Anyway, congratulations to both of you. "

Cao Yongluo felt that Li Jingyi was too lucky. How many bigwigs in Yanjing wanted to marry Zhou Xin, not only Yanjing, but many old families in American wanted to marry Zhou Xin. He had heard about it in Yanjing.

Even if it's just Zhou Xinming's superficial girlfriend, she's lucky enough.Why did Cao Yongluo say that Zhou Xin was lucky at the same time?Because on this occasion, giving Li Jingyi face at this point in time is giving Zhou Xin face.

Li Jingyi maintained a polite smile and stood dignifiedly next to Zhou Xin: "Thank you, brother, it was unfortunate that I couldn't meet you when I was in Zhangjiang, but I am very happy to meet you in Los Angeles this time.

As Zhou Xin’s roommate, you can share with me more stories about Zhou Xin’s time at Yanda. He is unwilling to tell me, as if he is not worthy of his status at Yanda. "

Li Jingyi just exchanged polite greetings, and didn't speak any more after the politeness was over.

Zhou Xin said: "When the dinner is over, we will find a place to talk in detail. Before we contacted each other by email or phone, we didn't discuss many things clearly.

In other words, I only know the general idea, but not the details. "

This is a celebration dinner initiated by CAAS to celebrate Huaguo's accession to the WTO.

Many influential Chinese in American came to the scene.

But considering Zhou Xin's identity, no matter how many famous Chinese came to the scene, Zhou Xin was definitely the most eye-catching object.

Therefore, many people want to come up to chat with Zhou Xin, because he has been chatting with Cao Yongluo, so other people did not come, Cao Yongluo also realized this, he quickly said: "You go to work first, we can have enough time to have a good time at night chat.

I'll be in American for a few days, and we can make an appointment tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. "

When the dinner was about to start, the person who came to chat with Zhou Xin disappeared, and Li Jingyi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Haha, isn't it tiring to carry it all the time?" Zhou Xin asked in a low voice.

Li Jingyi drank water on the surface, but actually sighed: "Emoji management is an art. I feel like my mouth is going to be stiff. I would rather write code than participate in this kind of activity."

Zhou Xin said, "I thought you'd already gotten used to it."

Li Jingyi: "No, it doesn't matter if the company under your name holds a celebration dinner or various activities, although I have to maintain social etiquette, but since I'm all your subordinates or partners, I can be more casual.

This occasion is not good, if I don't behave dignified and decent, I don't know how I will be arranged in private. "

After Li Jingyi came to American, she was actually very lonely. Almost all of Zhou Xin’s circle of friends was at least one round older than him, and most of them were business partners. Even if the wives of these people wanted to have a good relationship with her, They can't even talk together.

The middle-aged white women of the wealthy class in American, and the young girls who grew up in ordinary families in Huaguo, and it was an era when there was a huge material gap between Huaguo and American, and the common topics between the two were almost zero.

Because of Zhou Xin's status and identity, these women would be scruples about Li Jingyi's feelings when dealing with her, so it is not difficult to maintain a superficial friendship.

The only person who grows up in a similar environment and age is Robin's wife, but Robinn's wife gives her a feeling of being too shrewd, and Li Jingyi also finds it difficult to get close to her.Jerry Yang's wife is a Costa Rican with Japanese ancestry, so he and Li Jingyi have nothing in common.

Almost all of her classmates in graduate school knew her identity, which made it difficult for everyone to maintain a normal mind when getting along with Li Jingyi.

Zhou Xin is usually too busy to give her emotional value. Under such circumstances, Li Jingyi only has two Chinese-American women with good family backgrounds, Wang Xuelan and Chen Sien, who can be regarded as friends in American.

The ancestors of these two women were well-known figures in the Republic of China, American who came to the founding of the country.Compared with the ancestors, it must be downcast, but compared with ordinary people, it is still much better.

But it's just a friend.

These two reminded Li Jingyi before she participated in the party: "Relax, this is just a small case for you, even if you have any extraordinary performance at this celebration dinner, such as singing in public, or Jump on the table and waltz, and no one will say anything about you."

"Jingyi, don't listen to her nonsense. If you behave a little bit inappropriately, American's Chinese circle is very small, and various rumors will spread as soon as the dinner party the day after tomorrow is over. It's better not to make mistakes. Mistake."

Li Jingyi knew what the subtext was that they didn't finish, and basically thought that she was just lucky to become Zhou Xin's girlfriend, and then singled out the things she didn't do well as evidence for this argument.

She had seen too many similar remarks on Huaguo's online forums in the past.But wherever she performs well, there will be netizens who find fault.

Zhou Xin comforted: "Don't worry, no one dares to gossip in front of you."

Li Jingyi replied: "I know, who dares to refute your face, and I am used to talking about me behind my back, but after all, I still want to help you save face and avoid being talked about behind your back. "

Zhou Xin squeezed her hand: "I have already passed the stage where I will be influenced by other people's comments.

And at this stage, I will have someone to help me explain and explain the rationale for everything I do.What's more, you are good enough. "

Zuckerberg's wife in later generations is not good-looking, which does not prevent netizens from finding enough reasons for Zuckerberg and his wife to marry.

After a brief exchange with Li Jingyi, Zhou Xin took the stage as a representative of CAAS and made a speech:

".Hua Guo's entry into the WTO is a major event in world politics and economic activities. It has milestone international significance and far-reaching influence. Hua Guo's economy has developed rapidly in the past 20 years and has become a powerful force for economic development. Hua Guo After China's accession to the WTO, the two sides will influence each other, and the economic and trade cooperation between Huaguo and American will be closer.

I hope that Huaguo enterprises can catch up in the field of science and technology as soon as possible after participating in the global economic competition, and rely more on the advantages of science and technology rather than the advantages of resource endowment.”

After the dinner, Li Jingyi went back first, and Zhou Xin and Cao Yongluo went to a high-end private club in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles to chat in detail.

"Yong Luo, long time no see, remember the principles we talked about before." Zhou Xin reminded.

Cao Yongluo only drank some red wine at night, which was a trivial matter to him, and it didn't affect his clarity of mind at all.Not to mention a little red wine, even half a catty of white wine can keep his brain clear, at most the cerebellum's ability to control balance is temporarily lost.

He knew what Zhou Xin was talking about, and followed the zero-trust mechanism for all chats in American, which means that by default, all the content of their chats will be leaked, and then communicate on this basis.

Cao Yongluo said: "Understood, I didn't want to talk to you about business matters.

You are also a shareholder of Yongxin Technology. The company's quarterly and annual reports will be sent to you every year, including the business situation, and I will report to you every year.

These need not be said here.I also don't need to solicit business for Yongxin Technology. Now our problem is that there are too many businesses to finish, not that there is no business.

Especially after China's accession to WTO, because we help Mphone assemble, there are many mobile phone companies looking for us to be suppliers, especially the mobile phone companies in Neon and Korea. "

After Cao Yongluo finished his point, he went on to say: "When you really run your own business, you will find that the real world and the world you think are two different things.

I have been in Yanjing before, haven't I been to other places?The average monthly income of sanitation workers in Yanjing is 2000 yuan per month.

Here is the average salary of front-line workers, and the monthly income of the most workers can even exceed 5000 yuan.

In the Yangtze River Delta region, more than half of private enterprises and Sino-foreign joint ventures are in arrears of wages to workers. Yongxin Technology can settle wages for them every month according to the contract, which is already a first-class good factory.Before the matrix keyboard was counterfeited by other factories, our workers were even afraid that Yongxin would close down and they would lose their jobs.

The Yangtze River Delta region can already be regarded as a developed region in Huaguo, even the Yangtze River Delta region, let alone other places.When I was building the factory, I also went to the Central Plains for research, and the situation there was even worse. "

　Regarding the average salary of Yanjing front-line sanitation workers exceeding 2000 yuan, this data was found in a report on the income of Shenhai sanitation workers in 2001 by China News Network.
