Our Rise Era

Chapter 153 They are all flamboyant people!

This world is very realistic.

When you stay in one place for a long time...

You are conceited about your talent and you can have a bright future. In this era, even if you cannot become a trend-setter, you will not be a mere spectator...

But unfortunately, I was always confined to a corner, with no place to use my talents, and no core interests, and I endured year after year...

You desire promotion, and you desire even more to get in touch with the core and to display your talents.

but……

You have no stage.

Or, there were too many people standing on the stage.

Even if you are in a marginal position, you can't find the right direction and can only stand behind the screen and do all kinds of odd jobs.

night.

Deep.

Taiwan Island, outside the window.

The brilliant starry sky hangs high in the night sky.

Ding Ziqiang smoked one cigarette after another. When he saw the magnificent night view below, he kept recalling the scene when he first came to Taiwan.

I vaguely remember that year, China had not yet joined the WTO, and the mainland market was in a state of disrepair...

Things like DVD/VCD and disc players are still very expensive, costing thousands or even tens of thousands for one machine.

That year...

The market was still dominated by Microsoft's WIN98. There were no e-commerce platforms or video websites on the Internet. Qdog was just becoming popular, and chat rooms were everywhere...

That year!
I came to Taiwan with high spirits, and during the interview, I looked at Guo Jianshan, the first general manager of the [R&D Department] with passion.

Although he is not one of the first batch of employees, as the number of people increases, his employee number is also one of the oldest...

Then, in a blink of an eye, 8 years have passed.

8 years...

Traveling back and forth between the mainland and Taiwan, from the initial DVD system to the current mobile phone system, the changes in China can be described as rapid with each passing day.

8 years...

He also changed from a young man full of vigor and vitality to a middle-aged man with fat thighs.

"Why are you leaving? We treated you badly?"

The phone rang.

The call was from Guo Shanming.

At this moment, Guo Shanming's voice was very complicated.

"Not bad... But I've applied to the head office several times. I want to go back to the technical department. I'm tired of running around in the market. I want to live a simpler life."

"Didn't I tell you? As long as you maintain your performance this year, I'll let you come to the technical department next year..."

"You have been saying this for three years, three years after three years, and it is almost the third three years. I have always been in the marketing department dealing with those knockoff phones, doing "technical support" without any technical content. You can find any college student to do a job like mine, why did you choose me..."

"Boss Ding, I hope you can obey the assignment. The company has its own arrangements. We all remember your contributions to the company over the years..."

"Mr. Guo, I hope to join the core department. Is it possible or not? I just have one last word. Can you transfer me to another position tomorrow? Can I join the core technical team and build my own system team?"

"Of course, but it's too urgent now. You know, our [MTK system] is very good now, and there will always be a market in the future. We just need to upgrade it. Besides, the technical department is no longer the same as yours back then. Technology is changing with each passing day..."

"You think I'm not good enough, do you not trust me, or do you think I'm a person who should be eliminated? Mr. Guo, I'm not a fool. In the past six months, you have been reducing my market rights in the company. It seems that you are promoting me, but in fact, you are letting more people join my team, breaking up the team I have built, dividing me... and then kicking me out when I pose the least threat to you. Is that what you mean?"

"Boss Ding, I didn't mean that..."

“I need a platform!”

"You're going to Zhang Yang's place?"

"Yes! You have been reducing my influence in the company for the past six months. Isn't that a precaution?"

"You can leave, but the marketing department and those in the technical support department cannot leave!"

"The legs are on their bodies, I have no control over where they go..."

"..."

The evening breeze blows.

The weather in February is still a bit chilly.

Ding Ziqiang put out his cigarette, took a deep breath, and hung up the phone.

Over the years, he still has a lot of affection for the [R&D Department].

But sometimes, no matter how emotional you are, you are useless.

For a person with dreams, it is impossible for you to just watch a big stage unfold before your eyes and then be a bystander, watching people from different eras appear on the stage.

Even if it is impossible for you to become a person of the times, you should still be behind the scenes and watch your work shine on the stage.

In fact...

In the second half of 08, Zhang Yang made a shocking gamble.

Ding Ziqiang has been watching it all the time.

Crazy, paranoid, ambitious, and will not turn back until he hits the wall...

Sometimes, flamboyant behavior can be very contagious, causing Ding Ziqiang to toss and turn in bed at night and unable to sleep.

At this moment...

He also had the idea of taking a gamble.

Don’t underestimate the MTK Android system, which is in full swing at the moment and is about to unify all the mid- and low-end mobile phones in the country.

But if [MTK] is unwilling to truly realize open source and seize the market, then [MTK] will definitely not be mainstream except for lingering in the low-end field.

Facing the upcoming aggressive [Android system], [MTK] will definitely lose!
And he...

Unwilling to linger on!
..........................................

It is still night.

however……

For Chen You and other technical personnel of Xiali Technology, now Xiaomai Technology, there is hope.

Half a year ago... Zhang Yang severed cooperation with MTK, directly handing over the booming copycat mobile phone market to others.

Those were difficult days for Chen You.

Without sales, there will be no funds. Without funds, there will be no money to invest in research and development. Without research and development expenses, their [Wheat Technology] will not be able to achieve technological breakthroughs!
What made Chen You feel even more desperate was...

Zhang Yang directly lost all his savings in the [Photovoltaic Industry]. During the past six months, except for ensuring the basic salary of [Wheat Technology] technical personnel, everyone in the company had a hard time.

The financial crisis was fierce, the photovoltaic industry was in a mess, and countless voices of pessimism were heard one after another. When I went online, most of the comments were about Zhang Yang being an idiot...

At the darkest moment, Chen You even thought that all of them would be unemployed.

however……

This battle!
Zhang Yang won the bet!
Through various channels, Zhang Yang and coal boss Chen Tiangui spent a total of nearly 2 billion yuan to invest in the photovoltaic industry market...

If based on the subsidy system of [Golden Sun], the more than 2 billion yuan can be recovered by nearly half!
That is to say...

They are rich!
"Next, I will invest 5000 million to build our laboratory!"

"You can suspend research on anything else, but you must see the finished product of the video of taking photos of black brothers within a month!"

"Correct!"

"..."

9 o'clock in the evening.

Zhang Yang came to the Wheat Technology Research Institute.

Chen You looked at Zhang Yang excitedly.

However, after hearing Zhang Yang's request, the excited expression on Chen You's face gradually became complicated.

"Mr. Zhang, are we really going to Africa to sell mobile phones?"

"Yes!"

"Mr. Zhang... I don't mean to question your opinion, but..."

in the office.

Chen You lowered his head and took out a piece of data.

This data report is the "2006-2008 African Telecommunications Market Research Report", which shows that the mobile phone penetration rate is only about 9.4%...

9.4% is a very embarrassing figure. What is even more embarrassing is that behind this figure, the African market is full of all kinds of chaos...

For example, war!

For example, poverty and backwardness...

For example, some brands went to Africa, but their sales were dismal, and they eventually withdrew...

“Only 9.4%… that means there is still nearly 90% of the market waiting for us to develop!”

"But, isn't our market in China better? Now the order volume for [Wheat 1] has exceeded one million again. We will continue to work hard and cultivate China..."

"We only sell [Wheat 1] in Huaxia. We will no longer sell other brands. Let Xu Yunlong take care of the market for brands..."

"Why?" Chen You looked at Zhang Yang when he heard this.

Zhang Yang shook his head and looked out the window: "You'll know after a while!"

"..."

Although Chen You was confused, he finally nodded after looking at Zhang Yang's back.

After a brief silence, he looked at Zhang Yang and said, "Boss Zhang, in half a month, I can make an "intelligent system" for taking photos of black people..."

"it is good!"

"boss Zhang……"

"You said."

"We will win, right?" Chen You suddenly looked at Zhang Yang and asked this question.

"Yes!"

Zhang Yang had a calm expression on his face, and he looked at Chen You very seriously: "Winter is over!"

When I heard this sentence...

Chen You was shocked!
Then nodded.

"Let's go, let's go, let's go!"

【R&D Department】

Guo Shanming had a cold expression.
