Johnson Controls is not the only auto parts supplier that Chen Geng proposed to cross-sharehold, but the number of auto parts suppliers who are eligible to be cross-held by Chen Geng is only four, which is normal.

If all suppliers are cross-shared, I am afraid that Chen Geng can only take out a few tenths of a percent of the total shares to exchange shares with each supplier - does this also mean wool?

But without exception, in the face of Chen Geng's request for cross-shareholding, these four companies are all cautious, Chen Geng is not in a hurry, he understands very well in his heart that this kind of thing involves changes in the company's shares...... Even if the proportion is only a few percent, or even a few tenths of a percent...... Any company will inevitably be cautious, and it is by no means possible to produce results in a short period of time.

Chen Geng also knew this, so he was not in a hurry, not to mention that there was another thing that attracted his attention at the moment: remember the company called Garrett 2000 that Chen Geng bought before? Yes, their shell software was made, and it was not tested. The X version, but the official version 1.0, which has been rigorously tested and is officially released with the trackball.

Chiwett Ejiofor even came to Detroit to tell his boss the good news.

Looking at the excited and speechless Chiwetel Ejiofor, Chen Geng was also very happy: Chiwetel Ejiofor is so excited, what does it mean? It shows that his investment is very successful. He laughed: "It seems that our sales figures for indos and trackballs are very good?"

"Very good!" Chewat Ejiofor smiled from ear to ear as he talked about the sales of the OS suite: "Boss, guess how many we sold in the second week?"

How many were sold in the second week?

Garrett 2000's "indos" shell software and matching trackball have just entered the third week of the market, according to Chen Geng's "do not seek short-term profits, to occupy the market as soon as possible at a low price" pricing strategy, the combination of shell software and trackball set is priced at $299 - in order to match different motherboard interfaces, most users also need to buy a trackball adapter according to their own computer interface, the price of this adapter is $29.

That is to say, a set of shell software plus a trackball mouse, plus an adapter, the price of a complete set of systems is $328, and there is a gross profit of $270 for each set sold, which has made Chen Geng feel that his heart is black enough to be used as firewood, but including the original shareholders of Garrett 2000 and the results of market research, they all think that compared with these two revolutionary products, this price is simply outrageous: normal market pricing.

In the first week of the past week, nearly 1,000 Garrett 2000 "indos" operating system suites were sold, with a total sales value of more than $300,000.

This is only the first week of the market, although there is a computer hypermarket to vigorously promote, but in the "indos suit" popularity and reputation have not been opened in the case of such a sales result, it can only be said that this set of attractions to the market is too great, just hit the point of market demand.

The sales data of the second week has been sent to Chen Geng yesterday, but Chen Geng has not had time to look at it, but this is just right, his interest can't help but be raised, and he said with great interest: "The first week is 1000 sets, and the second week is ...... Is there 2000 sets?"

"2000 sets?" Chiwett Ejiofor seemed to be looking forward to seeing his boss like this, and couldn't help but laugh: "Boss, you are underestimating the sensation that our 'revolutionary' operating system has caused in the market...... Let me tell you, in the second week, we sold more than 3,200 units!"

"3,200 sets? That's all?!" Chen Geng was really surprised when he heard this number.

3,200 sets means that the sales amount in a single week is more than $1 million, and the net profit is more than $400,000, which is definitely a figure that more than 99% of software development companies can't think of...... Previously, Garrett 2000 was already a well-known software developer in the United States, but the annual net profit was only a little more?

"Yes," Chiwetel Ejiofor was also excited, and nodded repeatedly: "I haven't seen the detailed statistics yet, but it's definitely more than 3,200 sets of ......."

Without waiting for Chiwett Ejiofor to finish speaking, Chen Geng quickly pulled out the "INDOS" operating system package from the materials on the table, and the figure of 3,258 sets and total sales of $105,320 in the second week came into Chen Geng's eyes.

Counting the sales in the first week of the market, this "indos" operating system suite has only been on the market for two weeks, with total sales of nearly $1.4 million and net profit of almost $600,000......

Sure enough, this is the golden age of the computer industry.

Even though Chen Geng saw a lot of money exchanges, he couldn't help but smile at this moment: "Yes, very good! Mr. Ejiofor, your team has done a great job, beyond my imagination! Hmm...... Although you are all shareholders of the company, such a good result is far beyond my imagination, so that your team, each of you will be rewarded with a bonus of ten thousand dollars, and as for you, Mr. Ejiofor, you are twenty thousand. ”

Chiwetel Ejiofor didn't refuse just because he was a shareholder of the company, who made Mr. Fernández the majority shareholder, he smiled and said, "OK, I'll tell the guys the good news when I get back...... Boss, what's next for Garrett 2000?"

Chiwetel Ejiofor and his younger brethren were convinced of their new boss.

Although the INDOS operating system suite has only been on the market for two weeks, even a fool would not doubt the sales performance and ability to make money in the future in the market, which is called an operating system but is actually just a shell software. In fact, there is no need to wait for later, Chiwett Ejiofor and his friends have admired Chen Geng's forward-looking vision in software architecture and accurate judgment of the market, and they can't wait to get more guidance and instructions from Chen Geng in the company's business, Chiwetel Ejiofor came to Detroit from San Francisco this time to hear what his boss thinks about Garrett 2000.

"Recruit!"

Chen Geng said without hesitation: "The size of Garrett 2000's technical team must be expanded...... Well, at least more than 50 people. ”

Chiwett Ejiofor immediately nodded: "OK, I think so too." ”

Chiwett Ejiofor is well aware that when he developed the "indos" system before, he and his brothers could still cope with it, but as more and more work was done, not only did the "indos system" need to be maintained, updated, and launched new versions, but also new software had to be developed.

Chiwett Ejiofor was able to take the initiative to realize the need to expand the size of the team, which made Chen Geng very happy, at least some of the things he had worried about before were not necessary, he continued: "There is also the development of office software and game software that I told you before, and now we can start to prepare." ”

“OK。 ”

Chiwett Ejiofor answered, but looked a little unspeakable.

"What?" Looking at Chiwett Ejiofor who wanted to speak and stopped, Chen Geng said funny: "If you have anything to say, when will I not allow anyone to speak?"

"Office software is fine, but game software is ...... Boss, IMHO, is anyone really willing to spend money on this thing?" "Chiwetel Ejiofor's concern is not unreasonable, now the people who buy the Indos operating system suite, are all enterprise users, and the proportion of individual users in it is very, very small, in Chiwetel Ejiofor's view, in the foreseeable future, the user base of computers and microcomputers is still business users, and the development of an office software that provides services for business users is no problem, the market will definitely recognize it, but game software?

Who would want to spend tens or hundreds of dollars just to play games on their precious computer?

Chen Geng patted Chewat Ejiofor on the shoulder: "Mr. Ejiofor, I understand your concern, the development of computer games does seem very unreliable, before the actual sales data comes out, no matter how many reasons I come up with for developing game software, you can find a place to refute, so I am not going to argue with you about this, this time, I will exercise the rights of the majority shareholder to promote this project." ”

Yes, in view of the difficulty of convincing a person who is biased against the game, Chen Geng decided to change the way he communicated with Chiwett Ejiofor and others - in fact, he was also using this way to tell Chiwetel Ejiofor and others, who have not yet put their identities right: I am the big boss of Garrett 2000, and you are only small shareholders.

“......”

Chiwett Ejioo's face turned a little whiter all of a sudden, and he did understand what Chen Geng didn't say: Trouble, please correct your identity.

Just when Chiwett Ejiofor was a little disheartened, Chen Geng continued with a smile: "As a company, whether we can let customers take the initiative to open their wallets is not what product we sell, but whether this product can give customers a reason to pay money. ”
