The world's richest man started by developing gutter oil

In order to seize more offline markets in a short period of time, Peng Lei outsourced the promotion business to third-party companies. In addition, they also adopted the same method as Deep Blue Payment.

This method is to recruit temporary workers online to promote their offline payment functions.

Nantian Pioneer Park Deep Blue Payment Technology Co., Ltd.

Now that Deep Blue Payment’s business has basically been rolled out, Ouyang Sancai’s work is no longer as busy as before. She only needs to deal with the company’s daily documents now, and the signing of business contracts is also left to the people below. She is no longer needed. This general manager is doing business.

Now she has left the offline promotion and online signing business to Wan Liangyou.

"Didi~didi~dip"

At this time, the speaker on Ouyang Sancai's desk rang.

[Wan Liangyou: General Manager Ouyang, the people below collected a piece of information today, a treasure to get rich.]

Wan Liangyou briefly told Ouyang Sancai about the double subsidy of Zhifubao.

[Ouyang Sancai: I understand. 】

After Ouyang Sancai gave a simple reply, he left his office and went to Han Chen to report the matter.

Office of the President of Deep Blue Group.

After Ouyang Sancai came to Han Chen's office, he briefly told Han Chen about the wealth treasure.

"Husband, should we provide subsidies to merchants, otherwise Fortune Treasure will take away the market." Ouyang Sancai looked at Han Chen with his chin in his right hand and asked.

"We don't need to subsidize merchants like they do. In addition, didn't I ask you to provide subsidies after the new year? I will directly cancel the subsidy activities after the new year." Han Chen said.

"Why?" Ouyang Sancai asked puzzledly.

"What software is used most by smartphone users now?" Han Chen asked.

"Hello and WeChat." Ouyang Sancai replied.

“Our Deep Blue Payment also has an independent APP, but 90% of users use WeChat to pay. That’s because everyone is used to WeChat. Since WeChat has the payment function, why should we open Deep Blue Payment to pay?

This is also the reason why Deep Blue’s independent APP payment usage rate is not as good as WeChat payment usage rate.

Zhifubao is equivalent to the independent APP of Deep Blue Payment. After the subsidy activity of Zhifubao ends, customers will automatically return to WeChat Pay.

The reason why I let Deep Blue Pay spend money to build the market is because I want to cultivate users' payment habits and hope to change users' payment habits through this method. Although Zhifubao spends money to seize the market, they are also cultivating users. Payment habits.

Since Zhifubao is willing to spend money to help us cultivate users' payment habits, there is no need for us to do the same thing again. "Han Chen asked with a smile.

In the previous life, Zhifubao and WeChat were inseparable. In order to gain more market share, Lao Ma also frantically provided subsidies to users and merchants. However, in the end, the winner was WeChat without subsidies.

"Husband, you are so cunning. If I let Lao Ma know about it, I guess I won't be so angry that I won't die." Ouyang Sancai said.

Ouyang Sancai did not expect that Han Chen would come up with such a unique opinion. If someone else was the boss, he would definitely have to spend money with Lao Ma. In the end, only the consumers will benefit from this method of spending money.

"Otherwise, how could I make the group so big?" Han Chen said with a smile.

At this moment, Han Chen's cell phone on the table rang, and the person calling him was Changsun Chuanfu, who was far away in Wanwan.

"What's wrong with Chuanfu?" Han Chen asked after answering the phone.

"Brother Chen, VIA is willing to transfer S1 Graphics to us for US$3 million, but they also made a request to us." Changsun Chuanfu said.

"What's the request?" Han Chen asked.

"They asked us to license S3 Graphics' existing technology to them. If you think this request is too much, I will continue to negotiate with them." Changsun Chuanfu said.

"There is no problem in giving them S3 Graphics, but they have to license X86 to us, and both parties will exchange patents through permanent licensing." Han Chen said after thinking.

"Okay, let me talk to the other party." Changsun Chuanfu said.

Wanwan VIA headquarters.

After Changsun Chuanfu hung up the phone, he returned to Chen Wenqi's office again.

"Mr. Chen, I just had a phone call with our boss. After the acquisition is completed, there is no problem in licensing S3 Graphics to HTC. However, VIA must license the X86 patent to Deep Blue Semiconductor. If there is a price difference between the patents of both parties, we can I'll make up the difference for you," Changsun Chuanfu said.

"Mr. Changsun, I can't promise you about the X86 patent. It's not that I don't want to license the X86 technology to you, but we have already signed an agreement with Intel, and VIA is not allowed to license the X86 patent to third-party companies." Chen Wenqi said.

The agreement signed between VIA and Intel clearly states that x86 patents can only be used by VIA and its affiliated companies, and VIA is not allowed to license X86-related technologies to third-party companies.

"If we fully acquire X86 technology from VIA, this should not be affected by the agreement between your company and Intel. I wonder if your company is willing to sell the X86 patents it holds?" Changsun Chuanfu asked.

Changsun Chuanfu's question made Chen Wenqi fall silent, because VIA's current situation is not very good.

成立于1992年的威盛，1999年、2000年陆续购并美利坚国家半导体旗下的Cyrix X86处理器事业部、IDT处理器公司及S3 Graphics后，大动作跨入x86处理器、芯片组研发设计战场。

However, the processor market share has always been difficult to compete with the x86 duo Intel and AMD. However, as a third-party chipset business for AMD and Intel, it created a short-term glory for VIA around 2000, not only making a huge leap in profits , has also become the king of Taiwan stocks, with a market value of more than NT$1000 billion.

At that time, it and Silicon System (SiS) were called the PC chipset duo by the market. However, the good times did not last long. VIA and Intel were involved in a lawsuit in 2001, and the processor business was also completely blocked. The situation took a turn for the worse, and the stock price continued to slide. It has suffered from low losses in recent years.

In 2007, the chipset retreated to only supplying its own processor platform, and x86 processors only relied on the C7 processor, which retreated to the embedded market. This forced VIA to shift its focus to the Chinese mainland market and appeal to the "Chinese Core" slogan in China. Promote your own platform and make every effort to enter the copycat white label market.

In addition, even China's self-developed MIPS architecture "Loongson" series processors were previously provided by VIA with Southbridge chips. Various transformation plans have failed to get VIA out of the bottom of its losses.

Now X86, like S3 Graphics, is a waste of time for VIA.

This is also the reason why Chen Wenqi is willing to sell S3 Graphics.

VIA has been looking for a transformation direction. Selling X86 to Deep Blue would also be a good thing for VIA. Both companies that own X86 are losing money. If these two companies can be sold, plus the sale of S3 Graphics profit. VIA has more than 2 million US dollars in reserve funds on hand, which is enough money for VIA to find a direction for transformation.

"I wonder how much your company is willing to pay for it?" Chen Wenqi asked.

"It depends on Mr. Chen how much you plan to sell them for. If the price is right, we will buy them." Changsun Chuanfu said.

"As long as your boss agrees to one condition, I am willing to sell Centaur and S3 Graphics to Deep Blue for 2 million." Chen Wenqi gritted his teeth and said after thinking about it.

Just now, Chen Wenqi thought of a new outlet for VIA. This new outlet is to develop ARM CPUs for mobile phones. His condition is that Deep Blue Semiconductor licenses the architecture of Deep Blue 1 to VIA.

The CPU architecture of Deep Blue 1 is by far the most advanced ARM architecture in the world.

As long as VIA can obtain the architecture authorization of Deep Blue 1, VIA will be able to gain a foothold in the mobile phone market.

"What are the conditions?" Changsun Chuanfu asked.

"I want DeepBlue 1 architecture authorization." Chen Wenqi said.

"Mr. Chen, as far as I know, Centaur is in a state of loss. The market value of Centaur is at most US$1 million. You can just set the price of Centaur at US$2 million. You also need Deep Blue to license the chip architecture of Deep Blue 1 to you.

You must know that the architecture of Deep Blue 1 is by far the most advanced ARM architecture in the world. Even the architecture independently developed by ARM cannot surpass Deep Blue 1.

This deal is not a reciprocal deal. Even if I agree to it, my boss will not agree to it. Changsun Chuanfu took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit one before saying.

"If your boss can agree to the US$2 million plus the authorization of Deep Blue 1, then we will draw up a contract immediately. If your boss does not agree, then there is no need for us to continue the negotiation." Chen Wenqi said.

Changsun Chuanfu did not answer Chen Wenqi's words but took out his mobile phone from his pocket and sent a text message to Han Chen.

Five seconds later, a "didi-didi" sound came from Changsun Chuanfu's mobile phone.

"Yes, but we need to obtain authorization from VIA for motherboard chipsets, sound cards, network cards, USB controllers, DDR controllers, PCI-e and other technologies. We can obtain these technologies from your company by paying. Authorized." Changsun Chuanfu said after reading the text message.

"Okay." Chen Wenqi nodded.

September 2011, 3, China time.

After more than two weeks, Sun Chuanfu and Chen Wenqi reached an agreement.

Deep Blue Capital acquired the shares of S2.5 Graphics and Centaur from VIA for US$3 million, as well as the licensing of chipsets, sound cards, network cards, USB controllers, DDR controllers, and PCI-e technologies held by VIA.

Deep Blue Semiconductor has licensed the architecture of Deep Blue 1 to VIA, but VIA is not allowed to sell or license the Deep Blue 1 technology to other companies. The architecture of Deep Blue 1 is limited to VIA's independent research and development and production of chips.

The two parties also signed the contract and made payments at 10 o'clock this morning.

The reason why Han Chen is willing to license the Deep Blue 1 architecture to VIA is because the technology of Deep Blue 1 is outdated. Using the Deep Blue 1 architecture in exchange for X86 can be said to be a sure-profit business.

After the two parties signed the contract, Changsun Chuanfu and Chen Wenqi came to Centaur Company.

Chen Wenqi also summoned all Centaur executives to the conference room for a meeting as soon as possible. Centaur's seven executives also came to the conference room as soon as possible after receiving Chen Wenqi's notice.

"Today I have something very important to tell you. Just now I have transferred Centaur to Deep Blue Group. This is Chang Sun Chuanfu, the manager of Deep Blue Capital. Mr. Chang Sun will tell you how Centaur will operate in the future.

Mr. Changsun, this is Centaur’s general manager Tao Sanming, this is Centaur’s chief technology officer Zheng Weibing, and this is Centaur’s chief financial officer Quan Lingqiao.” Chen Wenqi introduced the executives in the conference room to Changsun Chuanfu.

Before anyone could react, Chen Wenqi finished his introduction and left the conference room, leaving only the confused people.

"Next, I have a few things to tell you. The first thing is about wages. After Deep Blue Group acquired Centaur, everyone's wages were increased by 20%. The second thing is that the group plans to move Centaur to mainland China. .

Those who do not want to work in the Mainland can submit a resignation letter after the meeting, and the company will compensate everyone in accordance with the laws. Now if you have any questions, you can ask. Changsun Chuanfu said.

"Manager Changsun, can't the company stay in Wanwan?" Tao Sanming asked.

“This is because the group needs unified management, and the new products involve commercial secrets, so the company will move to the mainland of China. Moreover, the mainland is not as bad as you think, and the development of the mainland is ten times better than yours.

As for the place to stay, you don't have to worry about it. The company will arrange your accommodation. The company has built a community with 10,000 households near the company. By then, all the company's employees can live in the community.

If you work for a certain number of years or if you do outstanding work, the company will reward you with a house.

The benefits provided by the group are much higher than your current benefits. I believe you will never find a better company than the group. Changsun Chuanfu said.

After hearing Changsun Chuanfu's words, everyone in the office looked at me and I saw that you didn't know how to make a decision for a while.

"Since everyone has no doubts, we will inform you about this after the meeting. Those who are unwilling to go will submit their resignation letters. Those who are willing to go will submit their names to me. I will be in the company these three days.

Shenlan Group started out as a small factory producing insulating films, and it only took 2 years to grow to the current scale of billion.

The development prospects and speed of the group are beyond what you can imagine using common sense.

Please think about it carefully when you go back. Tao Sanming took me to the chairman's office. Changsun Chuanfu looked at Tao Sanming and said.

"Okay, Manager Changsun." Tao Sanming replied.

April 2011, 3, US time.

Intel Headquarters, Santa Clara, California.

A woman in a white suit opened the door to Paul Otellini's office.

"Mayu, what's the matter?" Paul Otellini asked after seeing the other party.

"Boss, according to the latest news received by the think tank, VIA will transfer its Centaur to Deep Blue Group. Centaur's main business is the research and development of X86 chips." Mayu Bal put a document on the table and said. (End of chapter)
