854 It's Good to Be Rich

Because of his motivation, Ni Guangnan began to seriously consider the feasibility of joining Wu's enterprise.

Strictly speaking, chip research and development is a part of the semiconductor industry, and the semiconductor industry can be roughly divided into IC design, semiconductor equipment manufacturing, raw material manufacturing, foundry production, packaging and testing, etc.

Judging from the existing situation, Ni Guangnan feels that it is really not ordinary to get started.

The reason is that Wu Xiaozheng has nothing but money.

Yes, nothing.

There are no R&D personnel, no equipment, no site, no production plant, and no ...... of their own products

How does this start?

Wu Xiaozheng began to speak comfortingly: "It's okay, let's finalize them one by one, as long as you have money and connections, everything can be solved." ”

Yes, as long as you have money and connections, many things are not without solutions.

Ni Guangnan felt a little relieved and began to ask the first question: "First of all, we need to determine where to set up the R&D center. ”

That's what he's more concerned about.

His home is in the capital, and Wu Xiaozheng is in Changshi, so should the R&D center be located in Changshi or Beijing?

Inside, he hopes to be based in Beijing, because his connections are mainly in Beijing, and Changshi is far inferior to Beijing in terms of semiconductor and computer talent.

"You can choose one of the four cities, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, but I personally recommend that you choose Shenzhen, because it is the forefront of computer and semiconductor technology, and it is close to Hong Kong, so you can easily recruit talent from Hong Kong. ”

Wu Xiaozheng gave his advice.

This is carefully considered.

If he could, Wu Xiaozheng actually wanted to set up the R&D center in Changshi, but Changshi's conditions in this regard were really not good.

But Shenzhen is different.

Due to Deng Lao's southern tour, Shenzhen has become the forefront of reform and opening up, and many high-tech enterprises are rushing there, ready to be in line with international standards.

The Pearl River Delta region is the earliest developed area in China, and most of the domestic electronics factories and high-tech enterprises are located in that area......

No matter from which point of view, it is most appropriate to place the R&D center in Shenzhen.

"Shenzhen is good, but the office space is ......"

Don't forget, the Grandview Plaza Shenzhen project will be launched after the Spring Festival, and a five-star hotel will be completed in about half a year. ”

Ni Guangnan: "......"

Set up the R&D center in a five-star hotel?

That's a little better!

Or directly build a commercial and residential office building to solve both office and housing problems?

He can only sigh: It's good to be rich!

"The man's problem ......"

"You recruit people, as long as it is talent, we will directly solve the housing problem and give the best treatment in the country, and don't be stingy in this regard. ”

Wu Xiaozheng immediately replied.

From the perspective of businessmen, it is very important to open up sources and reduce expenditures, which must not only match the domestic environment, but also link with the interests of enterprises.

Therefore, even if it is an employee of Wu Chef Group and Zhengjia Group, Wu Xiaozheng did not put the benefits in place all at once, but maintained the domestic middle and upper level rising little by little.

But the R&D center is different.

The people who can enter the R&D center are the most cutting-edge talents in the field of electronics and computers in China, and such talents are not replaceable, so Wu Xiaozheng must give enough treatment in order to make the R&D center attractive.

Ni Guangnan could only sigh: It's good to be rich!

Yes, as long as there is money, the problem of talent is not a difficult matter, after all, with his contacts in the field of electronics and computers in China, he is very familiar with the situation, and he can pull some like-minded people first, and first set up the shelf of the R&D center.

Wu Xiaozheng suddenly remembered another thing.

He asked, "By the way, Wang An Computer you know, right?"

Wang An computer?

Ni Guangnan didn't understand why Wu Xiaozheng suddenly mentioned it.

In this era, as long as there is a little bit of Chinese knowledge, no one knows Wang An Computer, because this is the pride of the Chinese.

Wang An is a well-known Chinese-American scientist, inventor and entrepreneur.

Born in Shanghai, he graduated from Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 1940 with a degree in electrical engineering, went to the United States in 1945, and received his Ph.D. in applied physics from Harvard University in 1948.

In 1951, Wang An founded Wang An Laboratory, which was later renamed Wang An Computer, and began a glorious journey.

After a period of development, Wang An Computer became the world's largest producer of word processors in the 80s, and the scale was close to that of the famous IBM, and it was defeated many times in the competition with IBM.

Because of this, Wang An became the richest Chinese in the 80s and once appeared on the list of the five richest people in the United States.

It's a pity that when personal PCs began to develop in the 80s, Wang An Computer made the wrong decision and did not make strategic adjustments and transformations in time, thus missing the opportunity.

In November 1986, due to health reasons, Wang An decided to retire, and despite the opposition from top to bottom, let the 36-year-old eldest son Wang Lie serve as the president of the company.

This was the beginning of the decline of Wang An's computer.

Within more than one year of Wang Lie's "succession", Wang An's computer's financial situation deteriorated sharply, with losses of $424 million in 1988 and the company's stock plummeting by 90%.

Since then, Wang An's computer has declined rapidly.

On August 18, 1992, as a last resort, Wang An Computer Company filed a bankruptcy protection application with the Federal Court.

If it does not decay, Wang An Computer will indeed become the eternal pride of the Chinese.

Even Bill Gates said that if Wang can complete a strategic turnaround, there may not be Microsoft in the world, and he will not become a technology icon, but a teacher or a lawyer.

As an industry practitioner, it is impossible for Ni Guangnan not to know Wang An Computer, he just doesn't know why Wu Xiaozheng suddenly mentioned it.

"Oh, I heard that Wang An Computer is under bankruptcy protection, is laying off a lot of employees and selling assets, they have some talent and patented technology in their hands, do you think it will be useful for our R&D center?"

The reason why Wu Xiaozheng suddenly mentioned Wang An Computer was because when he was dealing with those people in the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in New York, he happened to meet Dr. Chu Geyao, the co-founder and senior vice president of Wang An Computer.

Unlike other Chinese businessmen looking for investment opportunities, Chu Geyao is working hard in New York to save Wang An Computer, which is under bankruptcy protection, and is looking for investment or asset sellers.

Because the matter of the R&D center had not yet been seen, Wu Xiaozheng did not take this matter to heart.

Ni Guangnan: "......"

Are Wang An's patents and talents useful?

Can it be useless?

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse!

Just, how much are you going to spend on this?
