Chapter 263 HOPE Technology Inc

"Franchise stores in economically developed areas will be equipped with computers, orders will be handled directly online, processed through the management information system, and the goods will be distributed to them, and then the Internet lines will be laid all over the United States, and then help other stores install them.

After the logistics network is fully established, the transportation cost can be saved by 30% compared with the previous one, 38% less than Sears, and worse than Wal-Mart, according to the calculated data, it can save nearly 900 million US dollars a year. ”

"I think it's time to buy a satellite, to help the vehicle install a satellite positioning system, optimize the logistics configuration, and reduce the logistics cost again. ”

Han Xuan said, "Each store saves a part of the transportation costs, and it is also a lot of income over the years, and it will definitely be bought in the future, so it is better to get it now, and directly let the new employees adapt, saving the need for secondary training." ”

"Buying a commercial satellite, I'm really moved to hear you say that, I have to think about it, and it costs a lot to invest hundreds of millions of dollars at one time."

Hundreds of seals live on the shore, and they can be seen in the range of the Gambao Marine Ranch, and the sea calms down in the distance, and there are no fishing boats coming to poach for the time being.

Asked Abner to help find some good sailors, looked at the two red pandas, and said to Ava: "I'm going to leave for a while, and I'll come back in a few days, you will have trouble taking care of them during this time, if you want to quit your job at the animal police department, you can come to work with me, I am most afraid of bathing them." ”

"How much can you pay me?" Ava asked directly, wiping the purple sand off her legs.

Harris went in to take a shower, and when the next one left, Han Xuan replied to her, "How much was your original salary?"

"$1200 a month. ”

"That's it?"

"I can find better-paying jobs, but I can't get used to them being abused. So you want to help those animals, you think everyone is like you, so rich?" Ava pouted.

Han Xuan shrugged, "I didn't say it, it's okay, I'll give you $3,000 in January." What do you think of the fact that you don't have a fixed working time, but you can take care of them for me if I need them?"

"That's it"

After eating something at home, the old man refused to take the helicopter, and the people from the SOS Group were also in the car, and the helicopter could not accommodate so many people.

Han Xuan separated from his grandfather and took Harris to Silicon Valley.

Silicon Valley is on the north side of Monterey Bay, and I've seen the scenery on the road many times, and I didn't feel comfortable sleeping in my new bed last night. I fell asleep as soon as I took off.

Dozens of minutes later.

Woke up in his sleep, half-squinted, raised his hand and rubbed it, "Arrived?"

"Well, it's Silicon Valley, look at that!" Harris enthused, and people who work in technology have a sense of belonging here.

Looking in the direction he was pointing, the billboards of Hewlett-Packard and Apple stood side by side.

Benjamin asked aloud, "Where's your company? I'm looking for a place to land!"

"Santa Clara County!" Han Xuan replied.

The location was chosen by Anthony. Silicon Valley refers to a region of which Santa Clara County belongs. Intel's corporate headquarters is located here, which is a gathering place for new high-tech companies.

It is located in the southern part of the San Francisco Bay, adjacent to the cities of San Jose and San Nivel, and the scenery is very good, so I agreed.

The Snow Mountain Investment Company bought 17 square kilometers of land here, more than 4,000 square meters horizontally and vertically. Suburban wasteland, land is not expensive, only more than nine million dollars.

I deliberately went around in circles, and from the plane, the land area was quite large, not all plains.

There are some rolling hills to the west. To the northeast bordering San Francisco Bay, a large billboard stands alone in the open field, and construction is underway near the bay to prepare for a temporary new building.

What used to be a bankrupt textile mill has been slightly renovated into a temporary office covering more than 3,000 square meters.

Han Xuan and Harris got off the plane, and the bodyguards were not enough, so when the old man left, he gave him two more and walked behind them with Jason.

Anthony heard the helicopter movement and ran out alone to greet him, and said with a smile: "Now I can only let them stay here to work, and the new building will take more than a month to be built." ”

"Is it electrified?" Han Xuan asked, entering the workshop of more than 500 square meters, the walls were repainted, and the smell had not yet dissipated.

A few meters between each desk, a group of people are busy lying in front of the computer, thinking that they haven't started work yet, and seeing the code on their monitor, it seems that they are already doing something.

"Several towns in Silicon Valley have good infrastructure, and we can start construction by moving in, so I was going to rent an office building first, but I found out that there was a textile factory, so I changed my mind. ”

"How's the hiring of technicians going?"

"It's being done, as you said, three senior hardware engineers, five senior software engineers, more than a dozen mechanical engineers have been found.

There are 11 database administrators, more than 60 software engineers, and more than 40 hardware engineers from IBM and Oracle, and now there are 133 intern software engineers and 49 intern hardware engineers. ”

"What does an internship mean?" Han Xuan didn't understand.

"It is a professional student who has just graduated from school, and has not really entered the company, and signed a half-year contract with them, and can only stay if they pass the evaluation. ”

"Very good, continue to recruit, don't be afraid to spend money, and, how is the structure of HOPE Technology Company built?"

Anthony was not in charge of these things, but pointed to a middle-aged white man who was leaning over to talk to the staff: "Let me introduce you to this former professor at Stanford University, Mr. Christopher Manning, who is now led by him and temporarily serves as the CEO." ”

The middle-aged man raised his head when he heard the voice, and his tone was not convinced, "Han?"

"Needless introduction, I spoke with him on the phone a few times. ”

Han Xuan walked over with a smile and said, "Hello, Mr. Christopher, we finally met, what are they making?"

"The search engine program is written first, and it can be debugged directly when the service is bought. ”

"The boss wants to know what happens in the company's current department. Anthony was embarrassed that he hadn't been in charge of so many companies before, and he was a bit of a scramble and didn't pay attention to this aspect of things.

Christopher nodded and said, "This is the software R&D department, and the hardware R&D department is next door."

Referring to the situation of existing Internet companies, we also need to set up a testing department, a design department, an operation department, a marketing department, a customer service department, and a logistics department, which is what the company needs at present.

The administrative department has not yet been formed, and the heads of various departments must be selected as soon as possible, otherwise the company will be chaotic, such as the hardware development department, they are basically on vacation now, and they don't know what they are going to do.

Isn't it a software company, what are you looking for so many hardware engineers?" )
