Chapter 584 Double 2 Big Promotion, Harvest the World
Even Honey Nelson next to him couldn't help but ask, "Is there really nothing wrong with this guy? He was parachuted in and has limited understanding of the core members of the chip department. Could he have made a mistake?"
Jacob frowned, "That may not be the case. Let's check first. We will definitely find evidence of Franz Quentin's communication with Xingyi Technology. At the same time, immediately block the way for other R&D engineers to leave. As long as they are core employees who leave, they must stay even if they get a salary increase. If they have to leave, they must sign a non-compete agreement!"
"Yes!" Honey Nelson quickly arranged.
Qualcomm acted quickly and blocked the approval process that same day.
If any R&D engineers apply for resignation, their applications will be delayed and their resignation will be blocked, and they will be offered salary increases to retain them.
If you really can't keep them, they have to sign a non-compete agreement.
With this system in place, it becomes difficult for those who want to change jobs.
Once you sign the non-compete agreement, you will not be able to work at Xingyi Semiconductor within two years, which will be a big trouble.
As for re-entering the job two years later, it is unpredictable what the future will be like.
As a result, it will be difficult for Xingyi Technology to poach more people.
Williams quickly reported the situation to Wang Yi:
"Chairman, Qualcomm has taken action to close the loophole. All resigning employees must sign a non-compete agreement. We can no longer poach them."
Wang Yi smiled faintly: "It's okay. With our previous large-scale poaching, Xingyi Semiconductor has already poached enough R&D engineers, many of whom are even senior GPU architecture engineers, and they are definitely core positions. This is enough. Don't be too greedy."
"Yeah, if they continue digging, Qualcomm will get angry," Williams said with a smile.
"Well, let's do it this way. We need to make good use of these talents. We need to do a good job in the research and development of TV image processing chips, self-developed GPU architecture, and mid- and low-end chips. We can't just recruit people and not produce any results!"
"Don't worry, I've arranged everything." Williams said, then changed the subject: "There's one more thing. Franz Quentin has been investigated. Qualcomm suspects that he is a corporate spy and has been in cahoots with us for a long time!"
Wang Yi waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about it. Franz Quentin has no contact with us. Qualcomm can't find any problems. When he is fine, come to Xia Country and we will reuse him. If we extend an olive branch now, it will make Qualcomm more suspicious that he has been in contact with us for a long time."
"Okay, Chairman."
Williams responded: "As for Franz Quentin coming to Xingyi Semiconductor, what position should we give him?"
Wang Yi thought for a while and said, "It depends on his choice. If he is willing to come to Xiaguo, he can join Xingyi Semiconductor Headquarters as a vice president. If he is not willing, he can join Xingyi International as a vice president and be responsible for international business. For example, the overseas sales of Kunpeng chips will be handled by him. He will also be responsible for the sales of other components."
Williams nodded repeatedly: "I guess he will choose Xingyi International!"
He understood in his heart that Wang Yi was really grateful and came to China directly to be the vice president of the group.
I didn’t want to come to China, so I prepared a second path, which was to serve as the vice president of Xingyi International.
Definitely reused.
In the following days, Honey Nelson quickly launched a series of investigations into the secret collusion between Franz Quentin and Xingyi Technology.
As long as it is found out, with Qualcomm's ability, it would be easy to put Franz Quentin in jail for life.
But unfortunately, after searching for a long time, no clues were found.
Franz Quentin has never contacted anyone from Xingyi Technology!
Not even once!
Even though they checked Franz Quentin's hard drive and mobile phone many times, they didn't find any problems.
Eventually Honey Nelson had to give up.
"Chairman, the investigation results are out."
"Okay, very good!" Jacob was in a good mood. "Call the police immediately, file a lawsuit, and put Franz Quentin in jail. If he dares to be a traitor, I will make him spend the rest of his life in jail!"
"This..." Honey Nelson looked embarrassed.
"What's wrong? Do you still sympathize with this traitor and plead for him? Or do you want to be a traitor too?" Jacob said in a cold voice, very angry: "It's useless for anyone to plead for me! I want Franz Quentin to spend the rest of his life in prison!"
"No, Chairman. We checked all of Franz Quentin's devices, including his cell phone and hard drive, and found no trace of any connection with Xingyi Technology. He has not even come into contact with Xingyi Technology."
"???"
"!!!"
Jacob was in a bad mood: "How could this happen?"
"How could there be no contact?"
Honey Nelson spread his hands helplessly: "There is indeed no trace of contact."
"Could it be that they were all deleted?" Jacob did not give up.
Honey Nelson waved his hand and said, "We not only checked all the surveillance footage, but also recovered the data on his hard drive and phone, but we still didn't find any problems."
Jacob was silent: "..."
"We even used a private investigator, but still couldn't find any problems."
Jacob's face turned pale: "..."
"Is there really nothing wrong with him?" Jacob began to doubt his life.
"That's what the results look like now," Honey Nelson sighed.
"Oh!" Jacob also became melancholy.
"What should we do about Franz Quentin's resignation?" Honey Nelson couldn't help but ask.
"Approve it. Since no problems were found, there is nothing we can do to him. There are US laws, and Qualcomm cannot cover up everything."
Jacob said in a deep voice: "But after what happened, Franz Quentin is not trustworthy anyway. Staying at Qualcomm is like a time bomb, and there will be endless troubles. Let him go!"
"Yes!" Honey Nelson was in a good mood.
Without Franz Quentin, there is one less competitor. As long as the Snapdragon 64, Qualcomm's first 810-bit flagship chip that he personally presides over, achieves remarkable results and catches up with Xingyi Technology, he will have a bright future.
Qualcomm’s next successor is just around the corner!
Originally, Jacob wanted him to develop Snapdragon 805.
But Honey Nelson knew that the Snapdragon 805 was a 32-bit processor, and it would be too difficult to surpass Xingyi Technology's 64-bit processor.
So he backed down and handed the Snapdragon 805 project over to someone else.
As Qualcomm's first 810-bit processor, Snapdragon 64 has high hopes and a bright future. Once it is successful, its popularity will soar.
Especially since the research and development was going smoothly at the moment, Honey Nelson took over the project and took charge of it personally.
That’s right, come and pick peaches!
The peach picking culture is not unique to China, it is the same all over the world!
Qualcomm's investigation is over and Franz Quentin has resigned smoothly.
Due to the current situation, no one openly saw Franz Quentin off.
But a group of elite employees, especially engineers from Qualcomm's R&D department, privately sent their blessings to maintain the relationship.
Everyone knows that after Franz Quentin leaves Qualcomm, he will most likely join Star Semiconductor, and even hold a high position.
If they can't stay in Qualcomm, or if Xingyi Semiconductor develops better, Franz Quentin will be a way out.
Just contact us when the time comes and you can be directly recommended to Xingyi Semiconductor.
Before Williams, American engineers were influenced by foreign magical culture and thought that Xia Country was an extremely terrifying place, as backward as India.
But when Williams and others came to Xia Country, and saw the daily life they shared, as well as the brilliant prospects and treatment that did not include promotion, the American semiconductor engineers were all devastated!
Only then did I realize that foreign culture is all deceptive.
The Xia Kingdom was not only peaceful, stable and prosperous, but also developed rapidly.
Even at night, single ladies dare to go out on the streets alone.
This is a very risky thing in Europe and the United States.
There is also the common zero-yuan purchase, which does not exist in Xia Country.
As for the fact that there are gunfights on America's side 365 days a year, that is even more incredible.
In Xia Country, we don’t meet each other for a whole year.
Theft and fighting are very serious crimes and the offenders will be sent to prison.
As for Ou Mi, the case may not be solved even if someone dies.
As for theft and fighting, they are minor matters and the FBI doesn't bother to care.
After all, they can’t even solve the murder case, so how can they have the energy to care about other things?
When the foreign smear filter was broken, these American engineers gradually changed their views on Xia Country and yearned for Xia Country's stability and prosperity.
Semiconductor engineers, in particular, are considered social elites and value their lives even more.
The prosperity and stability of Xia State and its low consumption were a fatal temptation to them.
It is for this reason that when Xingyi Semiconductor poached people, Qualcomm engineers were willing to come to Xiaguo.
On the one hand, it is because Xingyi Semiconductor has better prospects and good treatment, and on the other hand, Xia Country is stable and prosperous.
With the relationship with Franz Quentin, if Qualcomm can't make it in the future, he can still switch to Xingyi Technology.
Franz Quentin welcomed this with open arms, as it was his first-hand resource for joining Xingyi Technology!
After leaving Qualcomm, Franz Quentin came to the headquarters of Xingyi International.
Brody House, president of Xingyi International, personally received Franz Quentin: "Welcome, a warm welcome."
"Thank you." Franz Quentin said with a smile.
"To be honest, before you came, Director Wang personally told me to treat you well. Let's go to the vice president's office to talk."
"Why do we have to go to the vice president's office?" Franz Quentin was stunned, a little confused.
Brody House smiled and said, "Because that could be your future office!"
"This..." Franz Quentin was secretly happy.
Before, he was worried that his efforts would not be rewarded as they should be, but now, he has been directly given the position of vice president!
Compared with Qualcomm, this is only higher, not lower.
After all, Qualcomm is just a chip company, while Xingyi Technology is a super complex with chips, mobile phones, tablets, TVs, games, social networking, etc.
Only Xingyi Technology is not listed, otherwise its market value would be several times that of Qualcomm.
Brody House smiled and said, "President Wang specifically told you to decide where to work. If you are willing to go to Xia Country, we will arrange a residence permit in the capital or in the Magic City for you, and you will become the vice president of Xingyi Semiconductor, responsible for the semiconductor market."
"If you are willing to stay in the United States, you can become the vice president of Xingyi International and be responsible for international market development. Initially, it will be semiconductors, and other components will be added later."
"In short, no matter where you want to go, Director Wang will make the best arrangements for you."
"Director Wang will not let down anyone who has made contributions to Xingyi Technology!"
Franz Quentin was in a good mood. A company like this deserved to become bigger!
Not only did he let himself be the vice president directly, but he was also given the choice, Xia Guo and the United States were both fine!
"I wonder what the president thinks about my choice?" Franz Quentin asked instead of making a direct decision.
Brody House said straightforwardly: "If it were me, I would choose the vice president of Xingyi International. Although Xingyi Semiconductor is close to the headquarters, our resources are all overseas and in the international market. We won't be able to exert much of our capabilities if we go to the headquarters."
"Brother, you know that even if President Wang values your efforts and gives you the position of vice president, if you can't achieve results, I'm afraid there won't be much room for development."
