Chapter 193 Not Approved
24 hours is too long, Kang Chi naturally doesn’t have the time to wait in Pengcheng. After declining Hua Wei’s lunch invitation, he went directly back to Dongyang, leaving only Zhang Qing in Pengcheng.
Not long after returning to Datang Heavy Industry, someone knocked on Kang Chi’s office.
After getting Kang Chi’s permission, the person pushed the door open, and Kang Chi looked up and saw that it was Fang Qiming.
Kang Chi immediately smiled at him: “You are back in Dongyang too?”
”Yes, I just came back a few days ago… Mr. Kang, Mr. Lei from Xiaomi is here.”
”Mr. Lei?” Kang Chi stood up with some surprise, “When?”
”Just now, he went to Daqin Optics to find me. I happened to hear that you were back, so I took the initiative to bring him here…”
Kang Chi nodded, knowing that Fang Qiming didn’t dare to make a decision on his own, so he brought him here.
”Where is he now?”
”Still at the gate…”
”Take him to the reception room on the first floor.”
”Okay.”
Ten minutes later, after going through layers of inspections, Mr. Lei finally met the legendary Chinese genius in the reception room.
And the reason why he appeared in Dongyang was obviously because he was turned away in M country.
He stayed in San Diego for three days, but Qualcomm’s CEO didn’t want to see him at all. Finally, he sent a small manager to pass on a message, which roughly meant that they had decided to abandon the direction of the assembly plant in China, unless they moved the factory to White Elephant Country.
It was obviously unacceptable for President Lei to move to White Elephant Country.
The investment environment there is well understood by those who understand.
And once they move to White Elephant Country, they will definitely become traitors despised by everyone, which is basically equivalent to giving up the market foundation of China, which is no different from suicide.
With nowhere else to go, he finally thought of Kangchi’s Longteng Technology.
Although Longteng Technology’s comprehensive strength is not as good as Huawei’s, they have mastered the core technology of the entire semiconductor industry, and their future potential is definitely stronger than Huawei’s. —— ”Mr. Kang, thank you for taking the time to see me.”
”It’s okay, Mr. Lei is here to visit us personally, so how can we ignore him?”
The two exchanged a few more pleasantries, and the administrative assistant poured them tea and left the reception room, so Kang Chi asked directly:
”What is the matter that deserves Mr. Lei’s personal visit?”
”Well… Mr. Kang, I came here first to apologize to you.”
”If Huawei hadn’t released the P60, I wouldn’t have known that you guys made mobile phone cameras After I asked, I found out that Mr. Fang had actually talked to us before, but he didn’t seem to have a pleasant conversation with our product manager, so we didn’t reach an agreement on the cooperation in the end…”
”It’s also my fault that I was too busy at the time and didn’t know about it at all… After I found out, we immediately fired the product manager who was responsible for receiving Mr. Fang. In addition, I brought a small gift this time. I hope Mr. Kang doesn’t take it to heart…”
As Mr. Lei said this, he took out a delicate little box from his pocket, with a pattern like a small snowflake printed on it.
Kang Chi didn’t know what it was, but he guessed it should be some very expensive luxury item.
Seemingly seeing Kang Chi’s confusion, President Lei immediately explained: “This is a Patek Philippe Master Chime watch. There are only seven in the world, and one of them is kept by Patek Philippe itself. It is definitely a priceless treasure…”
Kang Chi’s expression suddenly became a little complicated when he heard it…
How should I put it,
This is the first time someone gave me such an expensive gift, and it turned out to be this scene.
It’s a bit strange.
“I appreciate Mr. Lei’s kindness, but this gift is too expensive, and I don’t have the habit of wearing watches or collecting them, so I won’t steal it.”
Kang Chi waved his hand,
”Besides, what you said are all trivial matters. You have your own product strategy, and it is understandable that you can’t change the plan temporarily. Since the matter has passed, let’s not mention it in the future, and let’s get down to business directly.”
”Uh…” Seeing that Kang Chi was determined not to accept the gift, Mr. Lei didn’t force it, so he had to put the watch away silently and continued: “In fact, in addition to apologizing, I also hope to reach a cooperation with you and purchase Wucheng cameras from you.”
”Purchase Wucheng?” Kang Chi immediately looked embarrassed and said, “I can’t help you with this. Wucheng cameras have already been sold to Huawei.Wei signed an exclusive authorization…”
“It doesn’t matter if it’s not Wucheng, you can just develop a new camera.”
Seeing that Mr. Lei was so persistent, it was obvious that he had hit a wall in looking for foreign chip suppliers, so he had to turn to domestic procurement.
In fact, Kang Chi didn’t have much aversion to Xiaomi itself. He even bought Hongmi before. From the perspective of ordinary consumers, Xiaomi’s products were indeed good quality and cheap. It was just that as the situation opened up, he realized that this was actually a kind of product dumping, so he had a little more aversion.
But if they can wake up in time and go back to catch the express train of China’s semiconductor development, Kang Chi is willing to help them.
Thinking of this, Kang Chi nodded: “In fact, we have completed the research and development of a low-end camera. If you are interested, you can talk to Mr. Fang in detail later.”
”Okay,” Mr. Lei smiled and said, “Thank you Mr. Kang in advance. ”
Although it is a little regrettable that we cannot buy high-end cameras.
But since Kang Chi is willing to sell low-end and mid-range cameras to them, it means that he really does not bear a grudge. Since this opening has been made, Daqin Optics will most likely be willing to sell new high-end cameras to Xiaomi in the future.
This is very convenient.
This mission is halfway completed! Just when Kang Chi thought that things had been discussed, President Lei suddenly said: “Finally, there is one more thing… I wonder if President Kang is interested in jointly developing mobile phone processors with us?”
Jointly develop mobile phone processors?
Kang Chi shook his head and said: “Sorry, we don’t have any plans in this regard for the time being.”
”Why?” President Lei asked calmly, “The mobile phone processor market is so big, don’t you have any interest at all?”
”There are so many big markets, do we have to get involved in every one of them? “Kang Chi asked back, and then continued in a deep voice, “Since some fields have already been done by others, we should not intervene if we can. Unless they are really unpromising, we may replace them or help them.”
Boss Lei immediately understood what Kang Chi meant.
This was hinting to him that he should go to Huawei for mobile phone chips.
But didn’t he choose to go to Kang Chi after Qualcomm hit a wall because he couldn’t bring himself to do so…
But the current situation is that everyone is forcing him to bow to Huawei.
If he doesn’t want Xiaomi to go bankrupt, this is probably the most promising way…
After coming out of Datang Heavy Industry, Boss Lei looked at the cars and people coming and going on the road. The strong sense of confusion made him a little lost. He strolled on the street and walked to the door of a shopping mall by chance, and saw the crowds of people rushing to buy P60.
Finally, he took out his mobile phone and personally ordered a ticket to Pengcheng…
At the same time, Pengcheng continued for 2 The 4-hour high-intensity system attack finally came to an end.
The result is obvious. Thousands of Huawei programmers are helpless with the Xuanyuan system, otherwise Kang Chi would have received a call long ago.
This made Huawei’s people completely convinced this time, so after revising the project plan, both parties submitted a cooperation application to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology together.
When the people from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology saw that it was a project cooperation application jointly submitted by Huawei and Dahan Xinye, they attached great importance to it. They analyzed and discussed the project on the same day and finally gave a reply.
[Project cooperation is not approved]
When Kang Chi received the notice, he was a little surprised and hurriedly asked Zhang Qing why it was not approved.
”I don’t know the specific reason. They just said it was a bit too hasty.”
”Too hasty?”
”Yes, but they heard that thousands of Huawei programmers could persist for 24 hours without any defense on our server, so they became very interested in our Xuanyuan system. I guess a leader will contact you soon. ”
Kang Chi was about to reply when his phone suddenly vibrated again. Looking at the screen, it turned out to be the caller, Director Lu from the Ministry of Science and Technology.
