"Congratulations to President Nie on becoming the new head of VIA." Wang Hong smiled and extended her hand.

"It all depends on Director Wang's trust." Nie Zheng said with a smile.

Seeing Nie Zheng's high-spirited attitude about to fight, Wang Hong's expression was extremely complicated.

When VIA's subsidiary VIA Telecom was acquired last year, Wang Yi came to negotiate with him personally and signed the contract in person.

This year's acquisition of VIA, Wang Yi didn't even show his face, and the deal was settled with just one phone call.

Even signing the contract is done by arranging a subordinate.

It can only be said that in one year, Wang Yi has changed from what he used to be and has become a person that even Wang Hong cannot reach.

Xingyi Technology, a humble emerging company, has become a super giant that even HTC has to look up to.

And she, Wang Hong, is still the same Wang Hong, not making much progress and even seriously regressing.

As for HTC?

Not to mention regressing, one year has been wasted!

Last year, the total market value of HTC parent company HTC exceeded 200 billion, crushing Nokia.

HTC is also known as the King of Android, making Apple, Samsung, and Nokia feel like enemies and have to sue continuously.

This year, Hongda Electronics’ total market value is gone, not to mention 200 billion, but 50 billion!

Sales volume is even worse.

As for Apple, Samsung, and Nokia, they no longer take HTC seriously and just think about how to send HTC away directly.

How to use litigation to make money from HTC.

Due to the impact of the Xingyi mobile phone, the three giants are not doing well, with sales plummeting and profits plummeting. They have to ask for a patent fee from HTC to regain their blood.

There is no doubt that this has also accelerated HTC's decline.

In just one year, HTC, the old king of Android, has completely fallen.

But Xingyi Technology, the new king of Android, is rising slowly.

Not only is it the king of Android, Xingyi Technology is so powerful that it is no exaggeration to say it is the king of mobile phones!

Even Wang Hong has to admit that the era of HTC is over, and the era of Xingyi mobile phones has begun!

When Wang Hong walked out of the conference room and looked at Weisheng in front of her, the loneliness in her eyes became more solemn.

The existence that once made even Intel extremely fearful has now declined to the point of being sold to external parties.

All I can say is that things are ever-changing.

You know, Intel once said directly: "We are more afraid of VIA than ARM!"

Ten years ago, Intel, VIA, and AMD were known as the three CPU giants.

Around 2000, VIA's chipset sales were 50%-70% higher than Intel's, so much so that Intel couldn't find a way to win.

Through the acquisition of Cyrix and Centaur, VIA gained the ability to produce CPUs.

Intel decisively prosecuted various patents, dragging VIA to death!

In fact, in order to maintain their dominance, CPU giants such as Intel and Cyrix have been engaged in patent wars for many years.

Cyrix is ​​not even licensed for X86.

Cyrix is ​​also trying its best. Although it is not authorized by Intel, it has produced a CPU compatible with Intel pins through clean room reverse engineering!

Reverse engineering!

Such a outrageous operation made Intel furious and decisively sued Cyrix.

But unfortunately, Cyrix's 486-compatible CPU is just reverse engineering and does not infringe any Intel patents!

There is no doubt that Intel lost the case.

It is also impolite to come and go without reciprocating.

Immediately afterwards, Cyrix launched a counter-suit!

Sued Intel for infringing its own bus, power management and other patents.

Now, Intel was confused. They had really infringed on these Cyrix patents.

In order not to lose the lawsuit, Intel could only settle with Cyrix and reach a patent cross-licensing, and Cyrix also obtained a permanent license for Intel X86.

In 1999, VIA acquired Cyrix and inherited the permanent license for X86, but was still sued by Intel for infringing on other Intel patents!

Fortunately, VIA acquired Centaur, which also has a large number of CPU patents and core technologies.

VIA decisively launched a counter-suit, suing Intel for infringing on some of Centaur's patents.

On both sides, you sue me and I sue you.

After years of patent wars, Intel and VIA finally reached a settlement, and the patents of both parties were cross-licensed. VIA can use almost all the instruction sets and patents of X86.

However, years of patent wars have dragged VIA to death. It has very little market share left, and its products cannot keep up with Intel and AMD. There is no way back.

In the previous life, starting in 2013, VIA transferred its technology and business to the mainland and cooperated with Shanghai Magic City to make Zhaoxin grow.

In 2020, Zhaoxin fully acquired VIA.

But this time, Wang Yi intercepted Hu in advance and directly acquired it wholly, which can be regarded as a new beginning.

After Wang Hong left, Nie Zheng became the new person in charge of VIA.

The team arranged by Jian Ziyan directly took over the related business of VIA.

Two days later, the full handover between the two parties was completed, and VIA ushered in new development.

Nie Zheng held a high-level meeting, and all core R&D personnel were also present:

"After Xingyi Technology acquires VIA, it will make a series of adjustments to the organizational structure."

"In the future, the CPU R&D headquarters will be moved to the Imperial City and Xingyi Technology Headquarters. For employees who are willing to develop in the Imperial City and join the Xingyi Technology Headquarters, we will arrange a team and send you to the Imperial City together."

"As well as your family and children, if you want to take them with you, you can also take them with you later. Arrangements will be made for your children's schooling, your family's employment, and their imperial household registration."

"Don't worry about this. I also returned to the imperial capital from abroad. Director Wang attaches great importance to talents and has arranged everything for my family."

"Now that I have a good promotion opportunity, I was directly appointed. This is care and treatment that I have never received at Texas Instruments or Intel."

Hearing this, many people were moved.

If you are the first group of people to go to the imperial capital, you may not be worried.

But Xingyi Technology has received several batches of semiconductor elites, including Texas Instruments, MediaTek, TSMC, and Samsung...

Everything was arranged very well.

"And VIA's former subsidiary VIA Telecom, are you all familiar with it, right?" Nie Zheng said with a smile:

"VMware Telecommunications has been acquired by Xingyi Technology a long time ago, and everyone has moved to the headquarters of Xingyi Technology."

"You are all familiar with Pang Liguo, Mr. Pang. The former manager of the R&D department of a subsidiary company is now the director of the baseband business department of Xingyi Semiconductor and the chief baseband expert. The pterosaur 3000 baseband of True Netcom was made by Director Pang."

"Similarly, if you go to the Imperial Capital, you will all be reused and you will all have good development!"

At this time, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

They may not be familiar with others and may not believe them, but they know people like Pang Liguo well.

They are all owned by VMware Telecommunications, one of their subsidiaries.

To put it bluntly, Pang Liguo was just a R&D manager of a subsidiary before, and his status and salary were lower than many of their senior executives at the headquarters.

It's just a subsidiary, and it's one level lower than the headquarters at the same level.

But now, he has become the leader of Xingyi Semiconductor Baseband Division and the chief baseband expert!

It can be said to be a step to the sky!

Wang and Dong will personally receive him, and they are no longer comparable to each other.

The reason is that he took his family to the Imperial Capital and joined Xingyi Technology!

If Pang Liguo had refused, he would not be as brilliant as he is today!

At this time, everyone was excited.

Pang Liguo can do it, maybe they can do it too!

Even if he can't reach Pang Liguo's level, it's still much better than half-dead at VIA.

Moreover, everyone knows the strength of Xingyi Technology, which is a headache for both Apple and Qualcomm.

As for HTC, it doesn’t deserve Xingyi Technology to carry shoes.

Wang Dong is also well-known as a polite and virtuous corporal.

After reading this, many people immediately began to express their opinions:

"Mr. Nie, I am willing to go."

"I'd like to go too."
