Rebirth of the Official Business Route

Xiao Jincheng and Cheng Hanzhang are both Ph.Ds in electronic engineering from Stanford University. After the two co-founded ess, Cheng Hanzhang focused on technology development, and Xiao Jincheng took charge of the company's daily business and has excellent management capabilities. Xiao Jincheng's Japanese proficiency is also very high. Taiwan was a Japanese-occupied area four or five years ago, and it was helpless to continue to be affected by colonial factors after the war; at the same time, Xiao Jincheng also learned Korean. According to Zhang Ke's concept of the market share of consumer electronics, Xiao Jincheng is indeed very suitable for the position of general manager of the overseas operations department.

However, since these days of contact, Xiao Jincheng has always thought that Kumho’s purpose in hiring him is the same as hiring Cheng Hanzhang. He wanted to use his technical expertise to do technical management or pure technical research. He had no surprises; Regarding the communication in this regard, he directly decided to let him be responsible for the overseas market business, and it was inevitable that he would be puzzled.

Xiao Jincheng looked at Zhang Ke hesitantly: "Mr. Zhang, are you sure you let me be in charge of the overseas operations department?"

"Why, do you have any questions?"

Cheng Hanzhang smiled and said, "Kumho has done a very meticulous job..."

A faint smile appeared on Zhang Ke's face, which looked a little unpredictable.

Dong and Su Jindong were a little puzzled by directly employing Xiao Jincheng in charge of the overseas operations department. "Fiction" novel chapters are updated fastest

This was originally a position prepared for Liu Minghui, but it is a pity that Liu Minghui has left for the King of Division. Kumho can’t find suitable staff to be responsible for this work. However, Zhang Ke had contacted and talked with Xiao Jincheng before that. It only took a few hours; Dong had more contact with Xiao Jincheng, and within five or six days, he was far from sure that he would decide to hand over the overseas operations department to him.

In terms of employing personnel, Zhang Ke made a decisive decision and never procrastinated, just like when Liu Minghui invited Dong and Su Jindong from Anwei Wanyan, Zhang Ke put the main burden of disc drive development and factory management on both of them. People. Don't say that others are puzzled, Dong and Su Jin themselves were a little confused at the time.

This can only be attributed to Zhang Ke's superiority in understanding people.

The letter of appointment from Kumho to Xiao Jincheng asked Xiao Jincheng to turn to the page of the job description and put it on the cherry wood table. Cheng Hanzhang was inconvenient to directly pick up the letter of appointment from Kumho to Xiao Jincheng, and could not help but turn his head to look at the position. The contents of the explanatory part: set up sales companies in Japan, South Korea, Europe, North America and other regions, responsible for the promotion and operation of the Idea brand in the above-mentioned regions, and responsible for product sales, including the preparation of overseas factories in these regions, and assisting the headquarters in establishing engineering application and technology development centers in the above-mentioned regions , Assist in technical exchanges between the headquarters and the above-mentioned regional agencies and companies. It is also responsible for recommending senior management personnel within the jurisdiction of this department.

Xiao Jincheng's preliminary work during the three-year employment period turned out to be Japan and South Korea, which are the most mature and mature consumer electronics technologies and markets.

It's really not an easy job.

Cheng Hanzhang asked in surprise: "Will Kumho launch new consumer electronics products?"

"Of course," Zhang Ke said with a smile. D and grades are related to the intellectual property rights of discs, and it is impossible to promote them in countries and regions. Japan and South Korea are the most mature regions for consumer electronics technology and markets. Japan’s Sony, Panasonic, Toshiba, Hitachi, South Korea’s Samsung, LG and other companies are all high-level electronics companies. Kumho wants to squeeze into the Japanese and South Korean markets with its existing electronic products. That is definitely a delusion..."

Cheng Hanzhang and Xiao Jincheng also think so.

Kumho started to expand its technology with sufficient funds after the large-scale profitability of its disc player project at the end of 1995. The Institute of Electronics under the Haizhou Science and Technology Bureau and the Microelectronics Technology Research Laboratory established by the Optoelectronics College of Haizhou University have been merged. It can almost be said that Haizhou has all the technical personnel with expertise in electronic technology. When the subordinate and Kewang wanted to establish a research team, they were unable to recruit suitable people in the Haizhou area. In addition, Kumho also aggressively solicited technology from major domestic scientific research institutions and universities. In an enterprise with assets of only 400 million yuan, the additional technology investment in the past year exceeded 200 million yuan. It is hard for outsiders to imagine that it is not accidental that Aida Electronics was able to develop prototypes on its own; of course, Cheng Hanzhang and Xiao Jincheng also believe that Kumho has other technical achievements.

Zhang Ke didn't continue speaking, his eyes seemed to look at Cheng and Xiao, and they seemed to fall on the offer letter on the dwarf.

Cheng Hanzhang and Xiao Jincheng looked at each other. Zhang Ke undoubtedly meant that as long as they signed the three documents on Xiaoji, they would be eligible for further access to Kumho's core business secrets.

Zhang Ke turned around and reached around and took the pen holder from Dong's desk and placed it on the red cherry wood short table.

Cheng Hanzhang smiled bitterly. Withdrawing an oil-based pen from the pen holder, he cannot refuse the offer; Xiao Jincheng is still a bit hesitant. The requirements of this job have exceeded his previous work experience. Self-confidence is one thing, but not blindly self-confidence. , But this is undoubtedly a very challenging job. After thinking about it for a while, I still took a pen and signed it.

Dong Xiao watched Cheng Hanzhang and Xiao Jincheng finished signing the characters, stood up and shook hands with them: "Kumho, Ke Shao has always been looking forward to your joining... You don’t have to call it too raw. Just call the boss Ke Shao. All right……"

Zhang Ke smiled, raised his hand, and let Cheng Hanzhang and Xiao Jincheng, who were slightly excited, sit down and talk: "Welcome, I won't say much. Dong and they also said that they would prepare champagne. I watched them all until the evening. Besides..."

When signing. His hands were shaking a little, and he calmed down now. Cheng Hanzhang said: "Compared with champagne, we are more eager to learn more about Kumho..."

Dong took the three sets of documents on the low table. He was the legal representative of Kumho Electronic Technology Research Institute. Naturally, he had to sign the letter of appointment and the ess equity transfer agreement on behalf of Kumho. He first collected the three sets of documents. , Took out two stacks of thick portfolios from the drawer and handed them to Zhang Ke,

Zhang Qian went over the portfolio and put it in the corner of the short table first, and said: "Kumho independently developed prototypes of the class, but did not have exclusive market profits. In addition to the rapid promotion of new disc players, Kumho’s Micro The weak foundation of electronic technology and the inability to independently develop mature products with fast performance are also a key factor...Kumho only occupies 18% of the equity in the third-generation decoding chip with Skoper. Isn’t it a bit unsatisfactory? "Zhang Ke smiled and pushed the portfolio in front of Xiao Jincheng and Cheng Hanzhang. "I told you at the beginning that after the acquisition of Kumho, ess's mission is to develop a decoding chip with complete independent intellectual property rights. This is Jincheng. Two prototypes of new electronic products released by Hukai. Among them, m-1 is a music player. Although it uses the decoder chip for the current disc player, it is barely enough, but I need a high-quality audio decoder chip. Matching with this product..."

The archives are marked with the words "u-1 prototype development and progress" and "m1 prototype development plan and progress".

The dedicated decoder chip for the disc player contains two parts: audio decoding and video decoding. To play a disc, of course, sound and image are required to come out at the same time.

When the requirements are not high, the decoder chip for disc players can also be used directly on future mp3 players, but the sound quality performance is much worse. In fact, the third-generation decoding chip has a very good improvement in sound quality, but it is far from professional standards; even for the future mp3 vision, Kumho also needs to develop a decoding chip with better sound quality. .

Kumho has already developed mobile USB and mp3 prototypes.

The u-1 and m-1 on the portfolio respectively refer to the u disk and ~www.readwn.com~. The technology is relatively simple, but the key component flash memory patent technology is in the hands of Samsung and Sony, and there is no way. The USB flash drive with low storage capacity in the early stage is most suitable to use flash memory as the data storage chip; of course, the timing of the launch of the USB flash drive will have to wait for the large-scale promotion of the standard.

Although the mp3 is out of a prototype, the effect is really rough. For many key technologies, Kumho still only has a technology exploration and accumulation stage. Key components such as decoding chips, digital-to-analog conversion chips, and power amplifier chips can only be used. Instead of existing products on the market, these are not chips specifically designed for mp3, and the functions are somewhat redundant and mismatched. The music listening effect is naturally imaginable.

Kumho can entrust professional companies such as Skoper to develop special chips, but in this way, the key technology can not be in its own hands, and the profit of the core component part is bound to be divided into Skoper. Of course, Kumho has patents for prototypes and some key control components, and can also share a large chunk of profit, but the most important thing is that it does not help much to improve the overall technical level of Kumho.

Therefore, Zhang Ke urgently needs to acquire ess. Even when he and Skopak, in order not to allow the two companies Kumho to acquire ess-Skoper can restrict Kumho's acquisition of ess-to give up part of the two companies Benefit.
