Chapter 855: Stick the knife into the enemy's heart
Because of Wu Xiaozheng's words, Ni Guangnan began to think about Wang An's computer.
He couldn't help but think about it.
Although Wang An's computer has little to do with the PC, the small computer and word processing machine that he is good at are also a kind of computer!
In this regard, a lot of techniques are figured out.
Also, Wang An's computer back then, its scientific research level was comparable to IBM, how could its scientific research talent Ni Guangnan not be impressed?
In addition, since it is selling assets, what about its production plants and advanced production equipment?
If it was possible, Ni Guangnan really wanted to put Wang An on the phone.
Of course, that's unrealistic.
He first asked: "Do you know the specific asset disposal direction and restructuring plan of Wang An Computer?"
In the United States, bankruptcy protection is a very special approach.
Bankruptcy protection means that regardless of whether the debtor is solvent or not, when the debtor voluntarily submits a bankruptcy reorganization application to the court or the creditor compulsorily submits a bankruptcy reorganization application to the court, the debtor proposes a bankruptcy reorganization plan to make arrangements for the duration and manner of debt repayment and the possible derogation of the interests of certain creditors and shareholders.
This is different from "bankruptcy" in the usual sense.
Bankruptcy refers to bankruptcy liquidation, and bankruptcy liquidation is to liquidate assets and close the door to repay debts.
Bankruptcy protection, on the other hand, is similar to an "airbag" in the event of a traffic accident and acts as a cushion.
During the period of bankruptcy protection, creditors may not be forced to pay debts.
The bankrupt business, also known as the "debtor," can continue to operate as usual, with management continuing to be responsible for the day-to-day business of the company and its stocks and bonds continuing to trade in the market, but all major business decisions must be approved by a bankruptcy court and the company must file a report with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
During the period of bankruptcy protection, companies that file for bankruptcy protection can get the company back on track and even become stronger than before through the reorganization of assets and the divestment of non-performing assets.
However, if the restructuring of the company applying for bankruptcy protection fails, it will eventually go into bankruptcy liquidation.
Therefore, for Wang An Computer, which is in the period of bankruptcy protection, the important thing now is to lay off employees and divest non-performing assets.
That's what Ni Guangnan is aiming for.
Wu Xiaozheng still knows something about this.
In the previous life, the rise and fall of Wang An's computer was a classic case in the business field.
In Chu Geyao's mouth, Wu Xiaozheng obtained some more information.
If he remembers correctly, by September and October this year, Wang An's computer will be successfully rectified, successfully escaped from the protection of the bankruptcy law, and should make a comeback.
After that, it barely survived, although it lost its glory, and in 1999 it was sold to the Dutch telecommunications company Getronics for a good price.
"I heard that in this rectification process, Wang An Computer only retains the software department that can continue to make profits, and all the outdated hardware production will be cut, and a large number of layoffs will be made. ”
Ni Guangnan was overjoyed.
His grass, my treasure.
For Wang An Computer, outdated production factories such as small computers and word processing machines have become a burden to it, so they can only be sold and processed.
In Ni Guangnan's view, it is not the equipment and factories that are outdated, but the products designed by Wang An Computer, some of which are put in relatively backward China, and slightly transformed to become the most advanced production equipment.
In order to monetize some of these products, Grandview will soon set up a technology R&D center, which must have its own core production plants, such as program-controlled switches and future chips.
Therefore, he thought that if he went to Wang An's computer factories that were about to be eliminated, he might be able to turn waste into treasure.
"Alas, it's a pity that those hardware R&D talents are gone!"
Ni Guangnan sighed again.
Talent is more valuable than equipment.
You must know that Wang An's computer is comparable to IBM in terms of research and development capabilities, and its magnetic core memory, automatic typewriter, paper hole recorder, radio typewriter and other computer-related equipment have been ahead of the times.
Now, if Wang An Computer wants to cut off the hardware, the first thing to be laid off is the hardware talents, including R&D personnel and production personnel.
It's a pity for these R&D personnel, and it's really difficult for the Grandview R&D Center to absorb them.
The reason for this is, on the one hand, a regional problem, and on the other hand, the technological blockade of China by the United States.
If a Chinese R&D center goes to Wang An Computer to accept a large number of technical talents, it is likely to lead to the obstruction of the US government.
"This is not simple, just go to the United States and set up a research and development center. ”
Wu Xiaozheng said lightly.
Ni Guangnan: "......"
Do you have money to burn?
But he has to admit that it is indeed a good solution.
Moreover, from this point, he also saw Wu Xiaozheng's determination to invest in technology.
"Are you really willing to spend such a large amount of money to build a R&D center in the United States?"
"What's so reluctant about this, Wu's company was already ready to expand its business to the United States to make dollars. ”
Wu Xiaozheng talked about some things about his trip to New York.
There is really nothing wrong with going to the United States to build a R&D center.
Compared with China, the R&D center in the United States is only a little higher in terms of labor costs.
However, for these high-end talents, compared with future research results, this cost investment is very cost-effective.
Ni Guangnan was overjoyed.
He also put forward his own suggestion: "This is a good approach, but we have to be a little more secretive in terms of the mode of operation, and it is better not to expose the fact that the investment comes from China." ”
This is still considered from the perspective of technical barriers.
If the establishment of a R&D center in the United States with great fanfare as a Chinese capital will still attract the attention of the U.S. government, which will lead to unnecessary trouble.
"Yes, how to work, you come up with a feasible solution. ”
Wu Xiaozheng began to enter the role of the boss.
This is the difference between him and Liu Chuanzhi's treatment of Ni Guangnan.
When Liu Chuanzhi needed Ni Guangnan, he praised him as a god, and once he didn't need him, or threatened his authority, he would ......
Wu Xiaozheng is different, although he also talks about feelings, but in the handling of things, he always follows the rules of the game.
"No problem, I'll think about it. ”
Ni Guangnan happily agreed.
This can involve his "China Chip" dream, no matter how hard and tired he is, he feels that it is worth it.
"Okay, then it's time for you to have a good talk with Lao Liu, I personally suggest that you talk about it, even if you break up, there is no need to be too stiff, goodbye is also a friend. ”
Wu Xiaozheng concluded the conversation.
Now Ni Guangnan's mood has obviously improved.
Next, it's time to relax and let him have a good meal.
