Chapter 584: Double Big Sale, Harvesting the World
Even Honey Nelson next to him couldn't help but ask, "Is there really nothing wrong with this guy? He was parachuted in and has limited understanding of the core members of the chip department. Could he have made a mistake?"

Jacob frowned, "That may not be the case. Let's check first. We will definitely find evidence of Franz Quentin's communication with Xingyi Technology. At the same time, immediately block the way for other R&D engineers to leave. As long as they are core employees who leave, they must stay even if they get a salary increase. If they have to leave, they must sign a non-compete agreement!"

"Yes!" Honey Nelson quickly arranged.

Qualcomm acted quickly and blocked the approval process that same day.

If any R&D engineers apply for resignation, their applications will be delayed and their resignation will be blocked, and they will be offered salary increases to retain them.

If you really can't keep them, they have to sign a non-compete agreement.

With this system in place, it becomes difficult for those who want to change jobs.

Once you sign the non-compete agreement, you will not be able to work at Xingyi Semiconductor within two years, which will be a big trouble.

As for re-entering the job two years later, it is unpredictable what the future will be like.

As a result, it will be difficult for Xingyi Technology to poach more people.

Williams quickly reported the situation to Wang Yi:
"Chairman, Qualcomm has taken action to close the loophole. All resigning employees must sign a non-compete agreement. We can no longer poach them."

Wang Yi smiled faintly: "It's okay. With our previous large-scale poaching, Xingyi Semiconductor has already poached enough R&D engineers, many of whom are even senior GPU architecture engineers, and they are definitely core positions. This is enough. Don't be too greedy."

"Yeah, if they continue digging, Qualcomm will get angry," Williams said with a smile.

"Well, let's do it this way. We need to make good use of these talents. We need to do a good job in the research and development of TV image processing chips, self-developed GPU architecture, and mid- and low-end chips. We can't just recruit people and not produce any results!"

"Don't worry, I've arranged everything." Williams said, then changed the subject: "There's one more thing. Franz Quentin has been investigated. Qualcomm suspects that he is a corporate spy and has been in cahoots with us for a long time!"

Wang Yi waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about it. Franz Quentin has no contact with us. Qualcomm can't find any problems. When he is fine, come to Xia Country and we will reuse him. If we extend an olive branch now, it will make Qualcomm more suspicious that he has been in contact with us for a long time."

"Okay, Chairman."

Williams responded: "As for Franz Quentin coming to Xingyi Semiconductor, what position should we give him?"

Wang Yi thought for a while and said, "It depends on his choice. If he is willing to come to Xiaguo, he can join Xingyi Semiconductor Headquarters as a vice president. If he is not willing, he can join Xingyi International as a vice president and be responsible for international business. For example, the overseas sales of Kunpeng chips will be handled by him. He will also be responsible for the sales of other components."

Williams nodded repeatedly: "I guess he will choose Xingyi International!"

He understood in his heart that Wang Yi was really grateful and came to China directly to be the vice president of the group.

I didn’t want to come to China, so I prepared a second path, which was to serve as the vice president of Xingyi International.

Definitely reused.

In the following days, Honey Nelson quickly launched a series of investigations into the secret collusion between Franz Quentin and Xingyi Technology.

As long as it is found out, with Qualcomm's ability, it would be easy to put Franz Quentin in jail for life.

But unfortunately, after searching for a long time, no clues were found.

Franz Quentin has never contacted anyone from Xingyi Technology!
Not even once!

Even though they checked Franz Quentin's hard drive and mobile phone many times, they didn't find any problems.

Eventually Honey Nelson had to give up.

"Chairman, the investigation results are out."

"Okay, very good!" Jacob was in a good mood. "Call the police immediately, file a lawsuit, and put Franz Quentin in jail. If he dares to be a traitor, I will make him spend the rest of his life in jail!"

"This..." Honey Nelson looked embarrassed.

"What's wrong? Do you still sympathize with this traitor and plead for him? Or do you want to be a traitor too?" Jacob said in a cold voice, very angry: "It's useless for anyone to plead for me! I want Franz Quentin to spend the rest of his life in prison!"

"No, Chairman. We checked all of Franz Quentin's devices, including his cell phone and hard drive, and found no trace of any connection with Xingyi Technology. He has not even come into contact with Xingyi Technology."

"???"

"!!!"

Jacob was in a bad mood: "How could this happen?"

"How could there be no contact?"

Honey Nelson spread his hands helplessly: "There is indeed no trace of contact."

"Could it be that they were all deleted?" Jacob did not give up.

Honey Nelson waved his hand and said, "We not only checked all the surveillance footage, but also recovered the data on his hard drive and phone, but we still didn't find any problems."

Jacob was silent: "..."

"We even used a private investigator, but still couldn't find any problems."

Jacob's face turned pale: "..."

"Is there really nothing wrong with him?" Jacob began to doubt his life.

"That's what the results look like now," Honey Nelson sighed.

"Oh!" Jacob also became melancholy.

"What should we do about Franz Quentin's resignation?" Honey Nelson couldn't help but ask.

"Approve it. Since no problems were found, there is nothing we can do to him. There are US laws, and Qualcomm cannot cover up everything."

Jacob said in a deep voice: "But after what happened, Franz Quentin is not trustworthy anyway. Staying at Qualcomm is like a time bomb, and there will be endless troubles. Let him go!"

"Yes!" Honey Nelson was in a good mood.

Without Franz Quentin, there is one less competitor. As long as the Snapdragon 64, Qualcomm's first 810-bit flagship chip that he personally presides over, achieves remarkable results and catches up with Xingyi Technology, he will have a bright future.

Qualcomm’s next successor is just around the corner!
Originally, Jacob wanted him to develop Snapdragon 805.

But Honey Nelson knew that the Snapdragon 805 was a 32-bit processor, and it would be too difficult to surpass Xingyi Technology's 64-bit processor.

So he backed down and handed the Snapdragon 805 project over to someone else.

As Qualcomm's first 810-bit processor, Snapdragon 64 has high hopes and a bright future. Once it is successful, its popularity will soar.

Especially since the research and development was going smoothly at the moment, Honey Nelson took over the project and took charge of it personally.

That’s right, come and pick peaches!

The peach picking culture is not unique to China, it is the same all over the world!

Qualcomm's investigation is over and Franz Quentin has resigned smoothly.

Due to the current situation, no one openly saw Franz Quentin off.

But a group of elite employees, especially engineers from Qualcomm's R&D department, privately sent their blessings to maintain the relationship.

Everyone knows that after Franz Quentin leaves Qualcomm, he will most likely join Star Semiconductor, and even hold a high position.

If they can't stay in Qualcomm, or if Xingyi Semiconductor develops better, Franz Quentin will be a way out.

Just contact us when the time comes and you can be directly recommended to Xingyi Semiconductor.

Before Williams, American engineers were influenced by foreign magical culture and thought that Xia Country was an extremely terrifying place, as backward as India.

But when Williams and others came to Xia Country, and saw the daily life they shared, as well as the brilliant prospects and treatment that did not include promotion, the American semiconductor engineers were all devastated!
Only then did I realize that foreign culture is all deceptive.

The Xia Kingdom was not only peaceful, stable and prosperous, but also developed rapidly.

Even at night, single ladies dare to go out on the streets alone.

This is a very risky thing in Europe and the United States.

There is also the common zero-yuan purchase, which does not exist in Xia Country.

As for the fact that there are gunfights on America's side 365 days a year, that is even more incredible.

In Xia Country, we don’t meet each other for a whole year.

Theft and fighting are very serious crimes and the offenders will be sent to prison.

As for Ou Mi, the case may not be solved even if someone dies.

As for theft and fighting, they are minor matters and the FBI doesn't bother to care.

After all, they can’t even solve the murder case, so how can they have the energy to care about other things?

When the foreign smear filter was broken, these American engineers gradually changed their views on Xia Country and yearned for Xia Country's stability and prosperity.

Semiconductor engineers, in particular, are considered social elites and value their lives even more.

The prosperity and stability of Xia State and its low consumption were a fatal temptation to them.

It is for this reason that when Xingyi Semiconductor poached people, Qualcomm engineers were willing to come to Xiaguo.

On the one hand, it is because Xingyi Semiconductor has better prospects and good treatment, and on the other hand, Xia Country is stable and prosperous.

With the relationship with Franz Quentin, if Qualcomm can't make it in the future, he can still switch to Xingyi Technology.

Franz Quentin welcomed this with open arms, as it was his first-hand resource for joining Xingyi Technology!
After leaving Qualcomm, Franz Quentin came to the headquarters of Xingyi International.

Brody House, president of Xingyi International, personally received Franz Quentin: "Welcome, a warm welcome."

"Thank you." Franz Quentin said with a smile.

"To be honest, before you came, Director Wang personally told me to treat you well. Let's go to the vice president's office to talk."

"Why do we have to go to the vice president's office?" Franz Quentin was stunned, a little confused.

Brody House smiled and said, "Because that could be your future office!"

"This..." Franz Quentin was secretly happy.

Before, he was worried that his efforts would not be rewarded as they should be, but now, he has been directly given the position of vice president!
Compared with Qualcomm, this is only higher, not lower.

After all, Qualcomm is just a chip company, while Xingyi Technology is a super complex with chips, mobile phones, tablets, TVs, games, social networking, etc.

Only Xingyi Technology is not listed, otherwise its market value would be several times that of Qualcomm.

Brody House smiled and said, "President Wang specifically told you to decide where to work. If you are willing to go to Xia Country, we will arrange a residence permit in the capital or in the Magic City for you, and you will become the vice president of Xingyi Semiconductor, responsible for the semiconductor market."

"If you are willing to stay in the United States, you can become the vice president of Xingyi International and be responsible for international market development. Initially, it will be semiconductors, and other components will be added later."

"In short, no matter where you want to go, Director Wang will make the best arrangements for you."

"Director Wang will not let down anyone who has made contributions to Xingyi Technology!"

Franz Quentin was in a good mood. A company like this deserved to become bigger!

Not only did he let himself be the vice president directly, but he was also given the choice, Xia Guo and the United States were both fine!
"I wonder what the president thinks about my choice?" Franz Quentin asked instead of making a direct decision.

Brody House said straightforwardly: "If it were me, I would choose the vice president of Xingyi International. Although Xingyi Semiconductor is close to the headquarters, our resources are all overseas and in the international market. We can't show much of our ability if we go to the headquarters." "Brother, you also know that even if President Wang values ​​your efforts and gives you the position of vice president, if you can't achieve results, I'm afraid there won't be much development."

"But since we are overseas, we can make full use of our resources and advantages to achieve results. We have a bright future and don't have to worry about acclimatization!"

Franz Quentin agreed: "Yes, I think so too. Then please take care of me in the future!"

"Okay, okay. From now on, let's join forces and make Xingyi International bigger and stronger!"

"No problem! Mr. Wang values ​​us, so we must achieve results!" Franz Quentin said with a smile.

How can the vice president of Qualcomm be as good as the vice president of Xingyi International?
There is no way, Xingyi Technology is too big!
After becoming familiar with the business, Franz Quentin did not hesitate and started visiting major international brands to discuss orders!
With his previous experience at Qualcomm, he is familiar with all major brands and has relationships with many senior executives of these brands.

It is not easy to advance the business.

LG headquarters.

"Director Jin, I'm here again!" Franz Quentin said with a smile.

Jin Yucan's expression became complicated, and then he smiled and said, "Brother, you are not here to promote Qualcomm Snapdragon chips this time, right?"

"Hahaha, of course not. Let me formally introduce myself. I'm the vice president of Xingyi International, and I'm here to promote the Kunpeng chip!"

“Hahaha!” Jin Yucan laughed: “I’ve heard about your story. I can only say it’s interesting. Very interesting.”

"low profile."

"Haha, but we at LG have already placed an order for 40 million Kunpeng chips."

"Not enough, not enough at all!" Franz Quentin said with a smile, "Others may not know the strength of your LG, but don't I know it?"

"Besides, your LG not only sells hot mobile phones and tablets, but also TVs."

"Now, the Kunpeng 902C processor is widely used in Xingyi smart TVs. If LG TVs want to be high-end, they must also use flagship processors. The point you ordered before is not enough, far from enough."

Jin Yucan frowned and felt that it made some sense.

As a TV giant, LG's global TV sales are still over 3000 million units even with the impact of the Xingyi TV.

Previously, only 500 million Kunpeng 902Cs and 706 million Kunpeng Cs were ordered, which is only million, which is totally not enough.

"Besides, Director Jin, I just took office and need results, you see..."

"Haha, if you say so, then I will support you no matter what. So, add an order for 500 million Kunpeng 902C, 706 million Kunpeng 505C, and another million Kunpeng C."

Jin Yucan has thought clearly that in the future, LG's high-end smart TVs will use Kunpeng 902C, mid-range will use Kunpeng 706C, and low-end will use Kunpeng 505C.

"Ten million Kunpeng 505Cs, I'll apply for the lowest price for you!" Franz Quentin said with a smile.

Jin Yucan thought about it, 505 million 2000, that means a total of 1000 million additional orders, plus the previous 3000 million, a total of million.

LG TVs can already sell 30 million units, not to mention LG tablets, so there’s no pressure at all!

In addition, Franz Quentin has just taken office, so we have to give him some face so that it will be easier to cooperate with him in the future.

After all, LG does not have its own chips, Qualcomm chips are not powerful, and it does not want to use Samsung chips, so it can only use Kunpeng chips.

Subsequent cooperation is essential.

“那行，就1000万颗鲲鹏505C，500万颗鲲鹏706C，500万颗鲲鹏902C！”金宇灿笑说。

"Thank you, thank you so much!" Franz Quentin was in a good mood.

On the third day after taking office, he won a huge order of 2000 million chips from LG!

Good start!

With such performance, he can definitely secure the position of vice president of Xingyi International.

When the news reached China, Wang Yi was in a good mood. He decisively praised Franz Quentin at the Xingyi International video conference the next day:

"Today, let me first praise Franz Quentin. Awesome, really awesome!"

"LG has previously placed orders for 3000 million mobile phone chips and 1000 million tablet and TV chips. Franz Quentin has won another 2000 million tablet and TV chips."

"good very good!"

"This year's year-end bonus, give Franz Quentin a big one!"

"Thank you, Chairman. This is what I should do." Franz Quentin said with a smile, and was extremely surprised. "But I don't need the year-end bonus. It was December 12 when I joined the company, and it was less than a month before the end of the year. I really don't dare to take the year-end bonus."

"Haha, the year-end bonus depends on the contribution, not the time of joining the company." Wang Yi smiled faintly: "Just for the 2000 million chip order, you deserve it!"

The profit from this huge order of 30 million chips is as high as billion!
It would be unjustifiable not to give Franz Quentin a high year-end bonus.

What's more, when Franz Quentin was at Qualcomm, he gave Xingyi Technology some leeway, allowing Xingyi Technology to successfully poach many core architects and R&D engineers from Qualcomm.

These contributions are truly invaluable and must be given high year-end bonuses!
"Thank you, Chairman. I will continue to work hard to win more large orders for chips and other components!"

"very good!"

Wang Yi nodded with satisfaction.

If Qualcomm does not retain such talents, it will be a loss.

Wang Yi knew clearly that many of Qualcomm's ruthless tactics were proposed by Franz Quentin, but were resolved by Wang Yi.

But this does not mean that Franz Quentin is incompetent. On the contrary, Franz Quentin is very powerful.

It is a well-known presence in the entire Qualcomm!
"The second thing is the Double 12 promotion."

Wang Yi said, "The Double 12 promotion will start tonight. This promotion will not only be launched domestically, but also in Xingyi International Mall, as well as overseas flagship stores and specialty stores. It can be said that this is the second Double 12 promotion and the first global promotion. No problems can occur."

"Yes!"

All the senior executives of Xingyi International responded one after another.

The Double 12 promotion was initiated by Xingyi Technology and is bound to become popular all over the world.

Bring overseas users to participate in the Double 12 big harvest, no, big sale!

"One Black Friday is not enough? We must bring our foreign friends to join us in Xingyi Double Twelve!" Wang Yi said with a smile.

"Hahaha." Everyone burst into laughter.

How cruel! It’s not enough to reap the Chinese people, they also want to reap the whole world!

You know, Double Eleven just ended last month, and Double Twelve has started again this month!

Fortunately, Double 12 is short, unlike the last Double 11, which was detonated by Wang Yi on the 1st.

Originally, all major e-commerce platforms planned to start Double Eleven on the 10th, but Xingyi Technology started it on the 1st, causing other e-commerce platforms to have to work overtime and launch Double Eleven activities in advance.

The same is true for all major friendly companies.

If we wait until Double Eleven to launch a big promotion, the potential purchasing power will be completely absorbed by Xingyi Technology in advance.

However, this time, Double 12 was not advanced, and all major friendly companies and e-commerce platforms breathed a sigh of relief.

There is no way. We have just consumed a wave of revenue from Double Eleven, and it would be a bit difficult to go online in advance for Double Twelve.

Unexpectedly, this Double 12 Xingyi Mall did not go online in advance, but went beyond Xia Country and went international!

We need to internationalize Double 12!

This made Jack Ma dumbfounded: "Fuck, can you play it like this?"

"Our Double 11 event is not internationalized, but Xingyi Technology's Double 12 event is internationalized?"

Jack Ma didn't know what to say for a moment, and felt even more aggrieved: "We originally planned to hold a Double 12 event, but Xingyi Technology snatched it away."

“Now this guy has robbed us of our internationalization!”

"Made!"

"No, next year our Double Eleven must also be international!"

“Let overseas brands, overseas merchants, and overseas consumers participate together!”

"We'll harvest the world too!"

"Yes!" Everyone responded one after another.

Jack Ma was filled with emotion: "We are the No. 1 e-commerce giant, but we are lagging behind Xingyi Technology. It's really shameful!"

All the subordinates were silent.

The Double 12 promotion arrived as scheduled, with price reductions similar to those of Double 11.

But there is almost no price reduction for new products. After all, they have only been on the market for a month and there is no way to reduce the price.

Including the first generation of Unlimited, it has been on the market for half a year and there has been no price reduction.

There is no other reason, there is no competitor, and it is a hot seller on the entire network with the super low price of 999.

There is still no need to lower prices when competing products from friendly companies come out.

There is no way. Under the support of XOS system, even if competitors have higher configurations, their performance is not as good as the first generation of Ultrasurf.

Just like the iPhone, its 1G RAM is more powerful than an Android phone’s 2G RAM, and its dual-core processor is smoother than an Android phone’s quad-core processor.

同样，无界1代的鲲鹏500入门级四核处理器+1G运存，比安卓友商的骁龙400+2G运存都更强大。

Unless competitors directly use Snapdragon 600+2G RAM, then it will no longer be a thousand-yuan phone, but a mid-range phone of around 2000 yuan.

Therefore, the first generation of Unbounded is below 1 and has no rivals.

Not this year, and probably not next year either.

Before the release of Unlimited 2, there was no need to reduce the price of Unlimited 1.

The only products on sale are the xphone 2pro and the borderless TV.

Other products have either been discontinued or are newly released products, so there is no need to reduce the price.

On the contrary, Xingyi Smart Home’s peripheral products are all on sale at a big discount.

Such as air conditioners, humidifiers, air purifiers, fresh air machines, etc.

It's winter again, and it's haze again. These things are selling well again.

Combined with the basic market of mobile phones, tablets and TVs, Xingyi Mall’s Double 12 sales volume continues to break records.

Wang Yi was very happy about this, but Qualcomm was furious.
