Chapter Ninety-Six: Williams Bank Prepares to Expand
After investing in SoftBank, Henry did not stay long in Japan before returning to the United States. The Silicon Valley Electronics Group had just been founded, and Henry had to manage it himself.
The Silicon Valley Electronics Group has also recruited a large number of hardware engineers of all kinds in the United States, and the company only has Japanese, which is very unbelievable! The United States has recruited a little fewer employees, but there are more engineers than in Japan, and among the talents recruited by Henry in Japan, the factory has the largest number of skilled technicians, with more than 2,500 people. Japanese people are rigorous, quality-oriented, and the most important thing is that they can work overtime!
Japanese workers are still very good, since they can bear hardships and stand hard work, then pull them over as cattle and horses, and give me a good job!
By the time Henry returned to the United States, the Silicon Valley Electronics Group had nearly six thousand employees. Among them, there are 2,001 American engineers and 1,000 Japanese engineers. The R&D team is strong!
Among them, there are four main departments, hard disk, memory, LCD monitor, and camera. There are more than 20 other large and small departments, such as power supplies, mice, keyboards, motherboards, chassis and so on......
However, Henry did not want to develop computers so early, and due to the limited hardware conditions, the development of computers was no different from other computer companies. What Henry wants is to be a blockbuster!
Ultra-thin, ultra-fast, the operating system is awesome, and as soon as it goes on the market, it shocks everyone. In this way, we can establish a lofty corporate image of Silicon Valley Electronics Group!!
If you make a computer that is not much different from an ordinary computer from the beginning, the public's cognition and first impression will unconsciously divide the Silicon Valley Electronics Group to this ordinary level!
Therefore, the main task of the current Silicon Valley Electronics Group is to engage in research and development, and sell parts and products by the way.
However, for some creative products, Silicon Valley Electronics Group can make it first and apply for patents...... For example, MP3.
The mp3 voice format has just appeared, and it has not yet become popular! But Henry knows how popular mp3 will be in the future! In his previous life, he worked only a few years before formulating the MP3 standard in 1995. Now that the Internet is growing rapidly, and Henry is fueling it, the MP3 standard may soon be developed!
The idea of an MP3 player is very simple, it is to combine text, video and MP3.
In 1997, a small company made an MP3 product and exhibited it at a science and technology exhibition, which was very popular at the time, and the small company thought it was going to send it. As a result, major companies around the world are shamelessly plagiarizing together.
The small company has not applied for a patent, and there is no money to fight a lawsuit, so in the end it can only be helpless!
But Henry is an MP3 player, he must apply for a patent, if anyone dares to plagiarize, the lawsuit will be fought until he is only left with underwear, and then he will give up!
But the hardest part of making MP3 now is flashing!
The flash memory is not big enough to store much music, which is a pain. But it does not prevent Silicon Valley Electronics Group from making things first and then applying for patents! At the same time, it will increase its research and development efforts in flash memory!
Hitachi's NAND flash is the most popular at the moment, Henry has poached many people from Hitachi, and many people from IBM, Toshiba, and Intel, and the R&D team is no worse than other companies. In order to launch MP3, Henry is naturally willing to spend a lot of money to support research and development, and the investment in flash memory will be much higher than that of other companies!!
Henry still had more than 13 billion yuan left in Japan, of which $10 billion was injected into the Silicon Valley Electronics Group and $2 billion into Williams Bank, and most of the rest was distributed to a few companies that had raised funds at the beginning, while Henry took 400 million yuan into his own pocket! Going to the Soviet Union to make money, Henry planned to empty his gloves and white wolf.
In fact, many companies or institutions are doing it!
That's borrowing!!
High-interest loans, commonly known as high~interest!! Soviet banks will definitely rush to give you a loan when they see that the loan interest is so high, almost the same as high~usion.
Henry's plan was to borrow money and then short the ruble, but wouldn't that be too shameless?!!
However, European and American countries are doing this, and there are many more shameless people than Henry. When Henry thought about it, he was relieved!
Speaking of the depreciation of the ruble, it is almost unbelievable to exaggerate!
When the ruble was at its highest, one ruble could be exchanged for two dollars, but in the end it depreciated more than 100,000 times, and it was almost worthless! A box of rubles, you can buy it by throwing a few dollars, so when it comes to repaying the money, it is trivial, just throw a little and send it away!
If you want to behave a little more tyrant, then please throw an extra 100,000 rubles......
Williams Bank began to expand after receiving capital from Henry.
From 1980 to 1994, the US banking crisis continued, with hundreds of banks failing every year! There were three main reasons for this: First, the relatively large fluctuations in the global economy led to the US banking crisis; second, the regulators relaxed their supervision, and even a cat and a dog with a little money could open a bank, so could they not go bankrupt? Third, the banking industry itself did not operate and manage in a standardized manner, such as abusing its power or lending a large amount of money to real estate development, and so on......
This time, the Japanese stock market collapsed, the United States also suffered tragedy, and real estate also fell unlucky, and prices fell sharply. As a result, bank loans cannot be recovered, and it is difficult for a lot of bad debts and bad debts not to go out of business!!
When Williams gets the two billion dollars, he will swallow up the banks. Two billion is not much, but the failed banks are no longer worth much. Williams Bank can take advantage of the opportunity to buy a lot of banks!
In addition, as Henry said, Williams Bank was ready to borrow money from the major banks of the USSR. Before that, the Williams Bank acquisition operation made as much noise as possible, and the Soviet banks looked at it, hey, Williams Bank is a bull, and it has a bright future in the United States!!
As a result, Williams Bank was able to borrow a lot of money from the Soviet Union!
Not only Williams Bank will go to the Soviet Union for loans, but also the holding companies under Henry's name will take out loans......
The companies under Henry's name are very promising, no matter which one of them is in the United States, or even in the world, the fame is well-known, and there is no reason why the Soviet banks should not give them loans!
When the team sent by Henry found out the situation in the Soviet Union, at that time, everyone went together as a team......
Henry thought about how many people he would bring over, and after thinking for a while, he held a moment of silence for the Soviet Union.
"The Soviet Union, the Soviet Union, don't blame me, it's not that I'm ruthless, it's really that I have a lot of people to raise, millions of people, millions of mouths, it's not easy for my brother......"

But I see that you care about the author very much, and the reward is also very powerful, especially the fans of the "Super Heavenly God Emperor" are already elders. Since you are so supportive, I will write a chapter without sleeping at night. You know, the speed of Baisha code words is slow, so it will be updated at one or two o'clock in the evening, so don't wait, you can read it tomorrow morning!)
