Chapter 128: Settled
After Noyce said the words to ask Fajin what he thought, a smile flashed across Zhang Heng's face, this matter is at least halfway!
Noyce's good old man mentality is completely undesirable when managing a business, he is out of respect for the good intentions of his employees, but at this time Fajin must not think so.
He might think that Noyce probably doesn't care too much about himself, just as he doesn't care about the microprocessor project he is responsible for.
If Zhang Heng is replaced, even if he doesn't pay attention to projects and people, he will say: "I'm sorry, Federico is the most important technician in my company, I can't rashly agree to let him leave the company and go to a distant place, perhaps, we can discuss a better way." ”
Sure enough, Faggin's answer was that he couldn't give an answer right away, and his daughter was only 2 years old and needed to go home and make a decision with his wife.
Zhang Heng promised on the spot that he would provide his family with the best living conditions, including the best housing and the best maids, even if he hired a special parenting expert.
This made Faggin very grateful and thanked him repeatedly, while the others were secretly surprised.
The time was already in the early 21 o'clock, and everyone with their own thoughts said goodbye and left, but Zhang Heng was busy.
He quickly found the phone number and address of Fakin's residence in Palo Alto on the white pages of the phone, and immediately called his Italian wife, telling him that he was a friend of her husband's friends from afar, and that he would come to the door to deliver some gifts and leave.
Subsequently, several people left the hotel, rushed to the apartment where the conditions of Fajin were not too good, and put the large bags and small bags taken out of the trunk of the car and put them at the door.
Most of the bags are clothing and cosmetics from luxury brands, mostly Italian and French brands, Gucci, Prada, Givenchy, Salvatore Ferragamo, etc., as well as some high-end milk powder and toys.
These were all purchased by Zhang Heng in the duty-free shop in Los Angeles, and he originally wanted to give them away after returning to Xiangjiang, but now let them play an important role.
After knocking on the door, Zhang Heng chatted with Fajin's wife, and then left with a huge surprise.
As soon as they returned to the hotel, Fa Jin called and said that he wanted to return the things, Zhang Heng only used one sentence and asked Fa Jin not to mention the matter again until he hung up the phone.
The next morning, in front of Zhang Heng in the conference room of Intel, in addition to Noyce, Gelbo, Hoff, Farkin, and a lawyer, there was also a beard.
Andy Grove!
Zhang Heng's eyes froze, and his whole body tightened, this guy is not good at looking at it.
"You're the one who came from Xiangjiang with a big mouth, boy, how old are you, can you date a girl?"
Grove crossed Noyce, stood in front of Zhang Heng, looked at him with undisguised aggressive eyes, and used the provocative word boy.
"Maybe Hungarians come of age later, and in our country, I can already get married and have children at my age. Zhang Heng looked at him without backing down, "I believe that Americans should be able to date girls at my age." ”
"Sit down, everyone, this is not the time to talk about age. Noyce hurriedly stepped forward to interrupt the confrontation between the two and motioned for everyone to sit down.
Gilbo then spoke: "Mr. Zhang, after discussion, we have decided to agree to the conditions you put forward, Federico has no objection, and now there are some clauses that need special attention, and we will negotiate with you......"
There are two things that Intel is particularly focused on:
First, they need to get tangible guarantees that the purchase volume can be successfully realized;
In this regard, Zhang Heng had already prepared, Lin Liang submitted a series of materials including the agency contract of 3M and Jiashike to everyone present, of course, most of the details were hidden, and only the names of the two parties to the contract, the contract amount and the contract time could be seen.
After reading these materials, Noyce smiled and said: "Zhang, I didn't expect that the poster was invented by you, 3M just placed an advertisement in the San Francisco Daily yesterday, and the company is preparing to send out a purchase request to local agents." ”
"Thank you for your recognition of our products. Zhang Heng greeted politely, secretly admiring 3M's strong execution and terminal coverage capabilities.
"Do you have any questions?" Noyce looked at the crowd, but no one spoke, and Grove frowned.
Second, Intel needs Daheng Technology to sign a memorandum of understanding to ensure that in the technical exchanges between the two parties, Intel's technical secrets will not be spied on, and no behavior that will harm Intel's commercial interests will occur. In addition, Daheng Technology needs to feedback all the technical data accumulated by using 8008 to Intel.
Zhang Heng had no doubts about this, and readily agreed that business ethics should be observed, even if he had the heart of digging into the wall, the specific actions could not be implemented until Fajin returned to Intel.
"I have a question!" Grove spoke, he glanced at the expressionless Fajin, and stared at Zhang Heng with an eagle-like gaze,
"The technical content of the 8008 application level is not high, and there is no need for a technical master like Federico, I don't know why you have to insist so much?"
"Mr. Grove, and all the distinguished gentlemen here, I have two reasons!" Zhang Heng looked him in the eye and raised his finger.
"First, the application of 8008, from the perspective of Intel as a manufacturer, the technical content is indeed not high, but for manufacturers who have never been exposed to this chip, it is an unprecedented huge challenge, and Mr. Fakin, who is familiar with the entire design process of 8008, is undoubtedly the most trustworthy and reliable person for us.
I believe that Intel is willing to pay more sincerity and support to the pioneering first customer, including on-site construction!"
Considering the problem from the customer's point of view, this is an important marketing concept of modern enterprises, Grove listened to this, shut up stupidly, and listened attentively to Zhang Heng's second article, intending to find new questions.
"Second, I stumbled upon the fact that Mr. Fakin's wife holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Milan with a dissertation on the influence of classical Chinese literature on modern European fiction, but unfortunately she interrupted her academic studies because of her immigration to the United States and raising children.
If Mr. Fakin can come to work in Hong Kong, it will also be a great opportunity for his wife to re-embark on the academic path.
Here, I wish Mr. Fakin and his family happiness!"
When it comes to family issues, Grove is speechless.
Fajin cast a deep gratitude in his eyes towards Zhang Heng, Noyce and the others bowed slightly, and Galbo also nodded helplessly.
There were no objections from those present, and Lin Liang and the opposing lawyer began to discuss the draft terms of the contract, which involved the treatment and subsidies of Fajin during his stay in Hong Kong, and it was necessary to consult Fajin himself.
Zhang Heng was okay for the time being, took out a copy of "Physics and Semiconductor Equipment Technology" purchased in the bookstore of Stanford University from his bag, and walked to Grove, who was frowning and contemplative.
"Andy, I've been reading this book recently, and I'm lucky to see the author today, can you please sign it?"
Grove looked up in astonishment, saw Zhang Heng's sincere smile, his tense face finally loosened, and took out a pen and wrote in the book: "Andy Grove, 1.3.1973." ”
"Thank you, nice to meet you. Zhang Heng sincerely thanked him and stretched out his hand.
"Man, I'm looking forward to your work, I'll keep an eye on you!" Grove said solemnly, squeezing his hand and staring at him.
Finally didn't say the words of "study hard, make progress every day" and other words to tell the child, it seems that you have finally looked at me subconsciously, Zhang Heng smiled.
