Rebirth: Starting from a Trainee Teacher

Chapter 722: Acquisition of a Semiconductor Company Again

“People in developed countries just have money.”

After looking at the sales of Ideal 2nd Generation smartphones and Ideal Bluetooth headsets in the first week of their overseas launch, Gu Jia sighed that the Ideal 2nd Generation smartphone is at most 500 yuan more expensive overseas than in China, while the Bluetooth headset is more than 200 yuan more expensive than in China. The sales of Ideal 2nd Generation smartphones overseas set a new record for the first launch of Ideal smartphones, and the Bluetooth headsets are even more popular.

"Having money is one thing, and the other is building a brand. Brands built abroad are better than those built in China."

Zhou Jing smiled and said.

There is only Ideal brand of Bluetooth headsets in the world now, and no matter whether others like the Ideal brand or not, there is no choice.

From Bluetooth speakers to smart speakers, smart lamps, and Bluetooth headsets, Ideal Technology's innovation is obvious to all at home and abroad. With this reputation for innovation, Ideal smartphones are becoming more and more recognized abroad.

“I can only say that brands are better built abroad, and they are not bad in the country either.”

Gu Jia could see and hear it. The sales data of Ideal products were obvious, and the word of mouth was also very good. More and more people were comparing Ideal with iPhone.

After reading the overseas sales report, Zhou Jing checked the information of Taiwei Semiconductor's R&D department.

"Extreme ultraviolet light source. The name sounds complicated."

Gu Jia looked at the information and said.

"The principle is not difficult, but how to reduce the deviation to a reasonable range is difficult. The original memory cards and chips were all made by hand."

Zhou Jing was thinking about a question in his mind. Traditional semiconductor technology will definitely face bottlenecks when it develops to a certain level. Perhaps he should explore new directions in advance. Since he has been reborn, he cannot just follow the old path and must develop new technologies.

“What is the nature of physics?”

Now Gu Jia finds it hard to imagine that such a small card can store sounds, videos and pictures.

Zhou Jing said: "It is wonderful to explore the properties and laws of matter and look at things from a scientific perspective. Have you ever observed cells with a microscope in your first year of high school?"

"I did that experiment in biology class, but I failed. I looked at other people's specimens and they were amazing. In biology class, teachers are too embarrassed to talk about reproduction and let students learn on their own. Did your biology teacher talk about it?"

Gu Jia found it incredible that there were various tissues inside cells that were invisible to the naked eye.

"Our biology teacher at the time was Kong Fangfang, who taught very vividly."

Zhou Jing still remembers that his biology teacher always blushed when he taught that part.

"Kong Fangfang has a good personality and always smiles to students and classmates. Has she ever been angry in your class?"

Gu Jia recalled his colleagues at Experimental Middle School and felt that being a teacher had its own fun.

Zhou Jing said: "When she's angry, she's more ladylike. At most, she'll say a few words. When Zhao Xin is angry, her gloomy face is a bit scary."

"And me?"

Gu Jia was also angry when she was substituting for Zhou Jing's class. As a teacher, she didn't have a very good temper, but she rarely got angry.

“It’s pretty scary too.”

In Zhou Jing's memory, Gu Jia was angry in class and her expression was very serious.

"It's okay. At most I'll ask the students to stand at the back and listen to the class."

"."

The afternoon passed quickly, and Zhou Jing and Gu Jia went home after get off work at five o'clock.

When the car drove into the backyard of the villa, you could see three snowmen on the sports field at a glance. After the snowmen were built in the morning, it snowed heavily. The facial features of the snowmen were covered by the new snow and they no longer looked like snowmen. There was a small snowball on top of a big snowball.

"It gets even colder in the afternoon."

After getting off the car, Gu Jia immediately zipped up her down jacket.

“This is winter.”

Zhou Jing drove the car to the garage with a smile, and he would change it tomorrow due to the license plate restriction.

"Dad~Mom~"

The child was lying on the floor-to-ceiling window and shouting.

Gu Jia went back to the room first. The child was making a fuss about going to find Zhou Jing, so Gu Jia took the child to the elevator.

Zhou Jing took the elevator from the underground garage to the first floor. When the elevator door opened, he came out, picked up the child, kissed him and said, "Dad can't wait to park the car?"

"Dad, let's make a snowman~"

The little girl said in a baby voice.

Zhou Jing said: "It's too cold outside now. You will get sick from the cold. Are you afraid of getting sick?"

"Don't be afraid~"

The little girl had never been sick and had no idea what it was like to be sick.

"If you are sick, you need to take medicine and get injections. Are you afraid?"

Zhou Jing poked his finger on the child's arm where the vaccination was given and said.

"e~Don't get the injection~"

When she heard about the injection, the little girl immediately gave in.

"Then be obedient. If you don't obey me in the future, I will take you to see a doctor."

Gu Jia patted the child's butt and said.

"Hmph~ Dad will protect me~"

The little girl hummed and said while resting her head on Zhou Jing's shoulder.

"Your father can't even protect himself." Gu Jia grabbed Zhou Jing's ear and said, "Are you afraid of me?"

"Don't bully Dad~"

Without waiting for Zhou Jing to answer, the little girl pushed Gu Jia's hand away.

"You are really my dad's sweet little cotton-padded jacket."

Zhou Jing ran to the second floor holding the child, and Gu Jia chased after him. The little girl cheered and asked Zhou Jing to run faster.

After changing clothes in the bedroom, Zhou Jing went to the bathroom to wash his hands and face, then washed his child's hands and prepared to go downstairs to eat.

"Dad, I want Oreo~"

The child said while hugging Zhou Jing's legs.

Gu Jia said: "You can't eat snacks before meals."

"I just want one~"

"Not even one."

Gu Jia said without allowing any discussion.

"e~Dad~"

The little girl hugged Zhou Jing and looked at him eagerly.

"After dinner, Daddy will give you the food. If you don't listen to Mommy, Mommy won't buy you food next time. Mommy hides all the money in the house. If Mommy doesn't buy you food, Daddy can't do anything about it."

Zhou Jing gently pinched the child's face and said.

"Will you listen to your mother?"

Gu Jia looked at the child and said.

The little girl said in a rather stubborn tone: "I am only good friends with my dad, not my mom~"

At first, the child cried when she didn't get what she wanted, but after Zhou Jing was unreliable time and time again, the child slowly stopped crying. Although Zhou Jing acted very "cowardly", she was very tough as long as Zhou Jing was around.

"Then mom won't buy you Oreos next time."

Gu Jia also snorted and said.

After Wu Suqin prepared dinner, she called to the second floor, and Zhou Jing's family of three went to the first floor to eat. Dinner was noodles with meat, and Wu Suqin scooped half a bowl into the child's small bowl.

Wu Suqin rolled the dough for the child separately. It was very thin and cut into smaller pieces. After mixing the meat sauce, Wu Suqin fed the child first.

"The porridge is delicious. Let grandma have some after you finish eating it."

Gu Jia said to the children who were whispering to each other.

"After dinner, Daddy will bring you Oreos."

Zhou Jing added a spoonful of meat sauce to the bowl, added chopped green onions and coriander, drank a sip of noodle soup and started eating.

"Dad, are Rabbit and Duck ready for dinner?"

The little girl thinks about her three pets every time she eats.

"They are eating now. After you finish eating, Dad will take you to watch them eat."

"Little white rabbit, so white, loves to eat radishes and green vegetables~"

The little girl smacked her lips and sang. "Bunny likes to eat vegetable porridge, so you have to like it, too, okay?"

Zhou Jing held the child's hand and said.

"Give all the vegetables to Rabbit and Duck~"

"Little fool, if you don't eat your vegetables, Rabbit and Duck won't play with you."

Gu Jia picked up a piece of noodle and fed it to the child.

It snowed and the sun went down, so the water outside turned into ice, making it unsuitable for playing outdoors. After dinner, Zhou Jing played with the children indoors. The children's play area on the first floor had all kinds of toys, building blocks and facilities, comparable to a children's playground.

As the children grew up, Zhou Jing did not dismantle last year's facilities, but expanded the play area. The original facilities are still needed for the second child, and the entire first floor of the villa has become a paradise for children. Zhou Jing also added a spiral slide so that the children can experience the joy of the children's playground at home.

The child was relatively well-behaved after the meal. He sat in the playground and played with small toys very seriously and attentively. When the child was concentrating, Zhou Jing tried not to interrupt him and played with him patiently.

"Dad, look~"

The child used building blocks to build a shape that looked like a dog and held it up to show Zhou Jing.

"It's woof woof, baby, you're awesome, let's make another cat."

Zhou Jing brought the cat-building blocks to the child.

"Cat cat~"

The little girl searched carefully among the building blocks. Even though she made some mistakes in the spelling, it did not affect her concentration.

“Starting from the Paw”

Zhou Jing found four cat claws and fixed them on the plastic board, and placed the model picture next to it.

"Mom wants to play too. Do you want to play with me?"

Gu Jia washed the dishes and came to the children's entertainment area and said.

"Mom, sit here~"

The little girl moved her seat to let Gu Jia sit. Children will not bear grudges against their parents. They often say that they don’t want to be friends with Gu Jia, but after a while they will take the initiative to get close to Gu Jia.

"Can you let mom eat the Oreos if you don't want to?"

Gu Jia took out the uneaten Oreos from the child’s pocket and said.

"Well~ Mom, please be nice to me~"

"Isn't mom good enough to you? Mom is so good to you. You should remember mom's kindness and listen to her more."

Gu Jia ate a small biscuit and put the rest back into the child's pocket.

"Mom, don't be mean to me~"

The little girl's well-behaved appearance is so adorable that it makes people reluctant to say anything harsh to her.

"If you're obedient, mom won't be mean to you."

Gu Jia touched the child's head and said, what a lovely child she had given birth to.

"Zhou Zhou is the most obedient."

Gu Jia was playing with the child, and Zhou Jing was about to go watch TV but didn't go. The time he spent with the child during the day was limited, so he took the opportunity to spend more time with the child after get off work.

The little girl clumsily put the building blocks together, trying one by one, without being impatient or impatient. Zhou Jing smiled and said, "Adults should learn from children's patience."

"People who have concentration and patience with children can do anything well!"

Gu Jia agreed very much. Adults should have the patience and concentration of children. At least they will accomplish something decent.

Zhou Jing said: "People who are patient with children are at least people with perseverance. They will not give up easily regardless of whether they can succeed or not."

"Yes." Gu Jia kissed the child's head and said, "Zhou Zhou is really amazing. Mommy wants to learn from Zhou Zhou."

The little girl seemed not to hear the adults' praise. She kept rummaging through the building blocks with her hands. It took her a while to piece together a cat, but it was not correct. It was recognizable as a cat at a glance.

Tired of playing with building blocks, the little girl played with other things, walking around, stopping here and squatting there. Zhou Jing followed the child, wherever the child went, Zhou Jing followed.

"Zhou Zhou, come and play trains with mommy."

Gu Jia assembled the plastic train tracks, placed the train on the tracks and said.

The child walked to Gu Jia, turned on the train and started playing. The train moved along the track. Zhou Jing went to the other side of the track to turn the train around. The family of three were having fun and laughing.

They played until around seven o'clock, watched an episode of TV and then went back to the bedroom on the second floor. Gu Jia washed the child while Zhou Jing lay on the bed and watched WB. There was only a little time left in December and all the major mobile phone manufacturers were making their final sprint. In just over a month since the release of Ideal's new phone, another mobile phone manufacturer went bankrupt this winter.

Competition in the domestic mobile phone market can no longer be described as brutal. It is a life-and-death competition. In order to survive, some mobile phone manufacturers do not hesitate to blatantly infringe on the patents of their competitors. They pick and choose their targets, paying every penny of patent fees to foreign companies, but act like hooligans in China, not only refusing to pay patent fees to domestic companies, but also suing them on the grounds that the patents are invalid.

Ideal Technology has been having to fight so many lawsuits for patent infringement this year. Before the technical protection period for Bluetooth headsets has even expired, a company blatantly modified Ideal Technology's technology and applied for a patent as its own technology. Zhou Jing can't do anything about their behavior, but short-term Bluetooth headset chips and core industrial chains are not something that friendly competitors can obtain within the period. If they want to use Ideal Technology's industrial chain, they have to pay extra.

In more than a month since its release, Ideal Bluetooth headsets have sold more than 3.5 million pairs in China, and the cost has been reduced. When rival Bluetooth headsets are launched on the market, Ideal Bluetooth headsets will follow up with a relatively low-priced model to compete for the low-end market. The profits from small profits but quick turnover in the low-end market cannot be ignored.

Headphones are different from mobile phones. The annual total profit of low-end series Bluetooth headphones is not worse than that of high-end ones. More importantly, low-end Bluetooth headphones can maximize the market share of low-end mobile phones of the same brand. Bluetooth headphones, smart speakers, tablets, watches and other electronic products have strong user stickiness.

"Dad, dad, go to sleep~"

After washing up, the girl climbed onto the bed, rested her head on Zhou Jing's arm, covered her eyes and pretended to sleep.

"Dad, check if you have whitened your teeth."

Zhou Jing pinched the child's chin and said.

"Ah~"

The little girl opened her mouth wide, revealing a row of neat, white teeth. She could be used in a children's dental commercial.

"White teeth are beautiful. Have you washed your feet?"

Zhou Jing pinched the child's feet and said.

"It's time to take a shower~"

"Take a nice shower and go to bed."

Zhou Jing said this and closed his eyes.

"Dad, I miss you~"

"Did you have poop just now?"

Zhou Jing opened his eyes and said.

"No~"

The little girl shook her head.

Zhou Jing got up and carried the child to the bathroom. There was a small toilet for children in the bathroom. Zhou Jing put a plastic bag on the toilet and taught the child to take off his pants to go to the toilet.

"Mom just asked you, didn't you say you didn't want to?"

Gu Jia, who was washing her face, said.

"You said you didn't want to think about it just now, but you don't want to think about it now."

Zhou Jing was waiting for the child.

"It stinks, doesn't it?"

Gu Jia looked at the child and said.

The little girl pinched her nose and shook her head mischievously.

After the child finished using the toilet, Zhou Jing wiped his butt and cleaned the toilet. After Gu Jia finished washing up and coaxed the child to sleep, Zhou Jing went to wash up.

"Wait for dad to sleep together~ I'll go find dad~"

When she got to the bed and didn't see Zhou Jing, the little girl got out of bed quite skillfully using her short legs.

"Put on your shoes."

Gu Jia kicked the child's shoes to his feet.

The little girl put on her shoes, staggered to the bathroom, knocked on the door and shouted: "Daddy, go to sleep~"

"Wait until Dad finishes brushing his teeth."

Zhou Jing opened the bathroom door and let the child in.

Zhou Jing was brushing his teeth. The little girl stood in front of him, hugging his legs and waiting. Zhou Jing's cell phone rang. It was Bai Xiyao's call. Zhou Jing asked Gu Jia to answer. Gu Jia and Bai Xiyao usually communicated a lot about work.

"We are almost done with the negotiations for the semiconductor equipment company we are going to acquire. Will we complete the acquisition this year?"

After answering the phone, Gu Jia came to the bathroom and said.

"Let's buy it if we agree!"
