Chapter 370: A Force in the Dark (Second Update)

Zhang Chen smiled and waved his hand: "Of course, it is best if you are willing to work in Huaxia, but in the early stage, I did not have this requirement." The industrialization of this product is too difficult, and the industrial design and R&D strength of Huaxia cannot be compared with that of the United States. ”

"So iCom will complete all the industrial design and R&D in the United States, and then hand it over to Alien Technology for production, of course, if the factory in the Huaxia mainland cannot meet our standards, I will find a manufacturer in the United States or Treasure Island for OEM production. ”

Jonathan Ivey nodded, "I am confident that I will complete the detailed design, but in terms of hardware technology development, we must have a very strong person to complete our design, all the components in iCom are not standard, and they must be non-standard for suppliers, and we must have people who know the hardware very well to complete this part of the work." ”

Zhang Chen muttered: "You're right, I'll let the headhunter immediately start looking for candidates in this regard." ”

Jonathan thought for a moment: "I have a candidate, I think you can consider it." ”

Zhang Chen was interested: "What person?"

Jonathan Ivey spat out a name from between his lips: "Bob Mansfield, Director of Engineering at Rayser Images." ”

"Bob Mansfield?" Zhang Chen lowered his head and thought about it, as if he had heard of this name.

Jonathan Ivey said: "Rayser Images is a small company and one of Apple's suppliers. I've dealt with Bob, and he's a hardware genius. ”

"You know, under Apple's current system, it's hard to come up with a non-standard design. But Bob is different, he loves a challenge, and even if Apple's purchasing department says to him, 'OK, so be it, that's enough,' he still puts 100 percent effort into the design department's idea, and it does it well. ”

"It's a pity that Rayser Images is only a supplier of image modules for Newton's handwriting computer, and if Apple could have more such suppliers, it would not have fallen to the point where it is today. ”

Jonathan Ivey sighed a little.

Zhang Chen turned on the computer, checked it with the backrub trial version, and actually found Bob Mansfield's personal homepage.

Bob's homepage had a low-pixel scan, and Zhang Chen struggled to identify it.

Damn, isn't this the fat man who smiles like a Maitreya Buddha every time Apple releases a new product?

Since it can appear in the video of Apple's new product introduction, it must also be a big player in the industry, proper.

Zhang Chen did not hesitate: "Okay, Jonathan, you talk to him and dig him up, but I must explain that we are the driver of the design and technology double-headed dragon, and after he comes, he will be on the same level as you." ”

"Of course, the technical department has to do everything it can to fulfill the requirements of the design department. But in the same way, the design department also needs to maintain close communication and learning with the technical department at all times. ”

"You know, what restricts the imagination of designers also includes the degree of understanding of new technologies. ”

Jonathan agreed: "Okay, I'll get in touch with him as soon as possible, I'm sure he'll be interested in this challenge." ”

The production of iComs is simply not what the aliens are capable of now. If aliens want to quickly have this ability, they must poach people in the United States.

And the current size and capital of the aliens are impossible to bear this part of the cost, and it is only possible to continue financing.

Zhang Chen once thought of investing 50 million US dollars in two installments in the name of the Sackfield Fund, but in this case, Liu Ming's shares would be diluted to less than 20%, and Liu Ming was willing to accept to put it aside first, mainly because Zhang Chen always felt that it was not very kind.

The alien Zhang Chen only provided some ideas and delineated the direction in the initial stage. But Liu Ming injected his life into this company.

If it weren't for Liu Ming's fight, just relying on Zhang Chen, the aliens would not have walked out of Bincheng until now, let alone defeat Lianxiang.

The most important thing is that Liu Ming is Zhang Chen's friend, and the personal relationship between the two is very good, regardless of the past and present life. This kind of thing is like seizing people's industry, and Zhang Chen really can't do it to his friends.

As a result, Zhang Chen registered a technology company called Matrix in Nevada, and then used Matrix to register a subsidiary of Matrix in the Cayman Islands.

Zhang Chen will inject all the intellectual property into this company, and then use this company to set up a joint venture with aliens to set up a company with an initial investment of 10 million US dollars.

Aliens have a stake in channels and manufacturing resources, as well as 30% of the capital, with a 10% stake.

Finally, Matrix's Cayman subsidiary will enter into an IP royalty agreement with its own joint venture company to collect royalties on a per-unit basis for the iCom computers produced by the joint venture.

In this way, most of iCom's profits can be transferred to the Cayman Islands in the form of technology royalties, which are nearly tax-free, thus avoiding the high corporate income tax in the United States.

iCom is a cash cow product created by Zhang Chen, and it is also an obvious product, and it must not be lost.

In the industry that Zhang Chen is now involved in, only Little Sheep, Aliens, and Solomon Brothers can make a profit, and Shunchi can be counted as half, and the other companies are basically in the stage of net investment, and the growth is paper wealth.

Zhang Chen estimates that this situation will not be fundamentally reversed until the Internet bubble bursts, so having a cash cow company that can continue to make blood far away is what Zhang Chen needs most at present.

Seeing off Jonathan Ivey, Zhang Chen tiptoed back to the villa, and saw that Su Zhuoyuan's door was still closed, Zhang Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Chen jumped upstairs in three steps and two steps, entered the bedroom, stretched out his hand to turn on the light, and the room lit up.

"Do you think that's all there is to it!?"

"Sister Su?" Zhang Chen laughed dryly, "What are you doing here?" Fortunately, I took off my clothes before I entered the door. ”

Su Zhuorui sat on the bed, folded her arms around her chest, squeezed out a deep groove, and sneered: "Forget it if you touch it?"

Zhang Chen's eyes rolled around: "Sister Su, since you like to sleep here, I'll go and spend the night with Wu Tian, bye." He turned around and left.

Su Zhuorui didn't stop her, "If you dare to go, I'll tell Miao Miao that you are playing hooligan with your hands and feet on me." ”

Zhang Chen was like being pointed, nailed to the spot, and said with a sad face: "Sister Su, I really didn't mean it. ”

Su Zhuorui sneered: "Hehe, you are really good, can this be done on purpose? Do you still want to tell me that it is a force in the dark that controls you?"

Zhang Chen nodded violently: "That's right, Sister Su, you know me." I have always talked about five things, four beauties and three loves, and I am an absolutely excellent and good boy, oh, by the way, I have also been a national outstanding student cadre. I really didn't know what was going on at the time, and I couldn't help it... You see, this is a misunderstanding, you are a lot, forgive me, huh?"

Su Zhuorui was so angry that she smoked: "Phew, stinky and shameless! Give you a pole, you really climb up? You belong to a monkey?"

Zhang Chen smiled and said: "I belong to the horse, Sister Su, you don't believe me when I say it, but you can't blame me for this matter." You think, I'm eighteen or nineteen years old, my blood is strong, you don't wear underwear, dangling in front of my eyes, fortunately I have strong self-control, otherwise something might not have happened. ”

Su Zhuorui raised her neck, got up from the bed, and walked in front of Zhang Chen, a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Something may not happen?

Su Zhuorui is very tall, one meter seven, as Su Zhuorui continues to approach, Zhang Chen swallowed his saliva, trying not to look at the pair of trembling double balls and slender long legs: "Sister Su, don't be like this, we have something to say." ”
