Xia Yu couldn't care about being reserved at all, he pressed his hands on the table and knocked the plate in front of him away, and asked anxiously, "What is the situation with that person and his team?"

Liu Jun noticed Xia Yu's eagerness, and hurriedly said: "There are not many people, more than twenty, the technology is okay, they are all from large companies." Their company has been established for almost a year, called BlueSmart, and has done Linux redevelopment before, and then turned to QNX to do in-vehicle platform optimization, and recently started to make an embedded handheld device system, which is very suitable for mobile phones. ”

"Great!"

Xia Yu is very anxious about time now. Because a truly intelligent operating system is too complex, it is best to set the direction early.

Fortunately, he has the memory of rebirth, and he can directly determine many design directions and functional effects, and there is no need to explore trial and error step by step. This saves a lot of time.

But even so, two years will not be fully sufficient, and he asked, "Where is their team? Are you familiar with it? I mean, is it possible to buy it? To tell you the truth, I'm really interested in this." ”

Liu Jun nodded: "Their company is in Houston, it's not too far, I'll go and ask, and try my best to give you an answer." BlueSmart is not large, but because it can make money, it may not be in a hurry to sell, but it is possible as long as the price is right. By the way, half of the two dozen people are Chinese!"

Judging from the $400,000 annual salary offered to him by Xia Yu and his current eagerness, he knew that the legendary young man in front of him was indeed imperative of the mobile phone operating system.

Although I can't figure it out, even if I get it, how can I compete with giants like Nokia and Motorola?

But this is not a problem for him to think about now, just ask Xia Yu, the boss, to come.

Yes, when I came to see Xia Yu, I was really tempted.

In addition to being full of sincerity and high annual salary, it is not easy to work in that new real yàn room.

Moreover, I believe that my wife and daughter will like San Francisco more!

Xia Yu really clapped his head directly: "Then you ask your friends first, and you can even make a direct offer!" $5 million, as long as they have the strength you say, I'm willing to buy it directly for $5 million! If it's not enough, then I'll continue to talk about it after I've seen it!"

Liu Jun nodded: "Okay, I'll do my best to give you news!"

The next communication between the two was very smooth.

Especially when Liu Jun said that he was willing to join in the mobile phone scheme design work, Xia Yu was so excited that he said on the spot that he would definitely arrange a preparation for him in the shortest possible time, and authorized him to be fully responsible for the establishment of the real room.

Previously, two well-known headhunting companies in the industry were entrusted to help find suitable mobile phone development and design talents for the North American office of Tianxing Group, and there has been a lot of progress. According to the three annual salary ranges of 150,000, 200,000 and 250,000 US dollars, more than 50 people were preliminarily selected.

Now it's finally time to organize a formal interview.

In the previous layout. The parent companies of the Tianxing Group in Yangcheng and the Tianxing North America Real Yàn Room on the North American side are all Tianxing Holdings, a shell company registered in the Virgin Islands.

Among them, Xiao Wenjing still owns 10% of the shares of Tianxing Holdings, and the rest is all in the hands of Xia Yu.

Before Liu Jun really showed his "loyalty" to Tianxing and led the team to make achievements, Xia Yu did not plan to assign him options for the time being, preferring to raise him with a high salary, and the same was true for the senior management of BlueSmart, who was already about to return from the acquisition.

Compared with Polestar Electronics, the Tianxing Group, which cannot be made public, really pins too much hope on him.

Fortunately, there is still time.

……

In the next two days, Xia Yu and Liu Jun. plus a Xiao Wenjing, who is busy with the official establishment of the Tianxing North American Real Yàn Room.

The office address is located in the most strategically located Palo Alto business district in Silicon Valley, near the headquarters of Hewlett-Packard, which is the core area of the entire Silicon Valley.

It was also used to be the office of a technology company. Not long ago, it moved to a new location, with an area of nearly 800 square meters, most of which is planned into several independent conference rooms, so there is no need for major changes. You can directly purchase equipment and convert it into a real room.

The interview was completed by Liu Jun and Xia Yu together.

The main directions are temporarily divided into two, one is to be carried out confidentially based on the QNX smartphone system project. The other is a functional R&D project set up for the current Polestar mobile phone.

In fact, if Polestar's next ordinary feature phone is not successful, even if the MP3 is a big hit, it will be difficult to provide sufficient financial support for the development of smartphones.

Unless Polestar can bring MP3 to the size of Apple's iPod, that's not possible, at least for now. Even if the sales volume can catch up, the profit will not be good.

So making money, making money, and making more money is also the theme of Xia Yu for a long time to come.

On the other hand, the recruitment process is quite smooth.

In the past two years, Silicon Valley has not fully recovered from the Internet bubble, and most of the engineering students at Ivy League universities have chosen a more "stable" electronic direction for their majors in those years, and now they have just graduated.

Coupled with the incredible talent base of Silicon Valley itself, there are still some people who are willing to try their luck in this "generous" new company under the lure of a decent salary.

Yes, Xia Yu, who has always put talent first, directly imitated the practice of major companies competing for talents in later generations, and formulated quite good benefits for the future employees of Tianxing North America's real yàn room: in addition to the reimbursement of travel expenses, hotel accommodation and other interviews, he also directly contacted two professional third-party service companies to provide free diet, massage health care and fitness services for new employees.

This is not counting the coffee and refreshment room and leisure game room specially set aside for office decoration......

Companies like Google and Facebook have this culture, but it's quite attractive in a new company.

……

"Silicon Valley is worthy of being the world's innovation center, and the talent base is too much!" In an office that has not yet been renovated, Liu Jun can't help but sigh with emotion with the information in his hand. He has been away from the United States for seven or eight years, and as soon as he comes back, he catches up with the recruitment, and this feeling is really deep compared with China.

Xiao Wenjing held a coffee cup in both hands and continued: "Yes, not to mention these Americans, just China and India. There are too many good engineers. ”

She knew that Xia Yu attached great importance to this real room, and she also had a career pursuit, so she had decided to stay in the United States to help keep an eye on it. In terms of position, she is now the president of operations, while Liu Jun is the vice president and chief engineer, and the chief executive officer (CEO) is still Xia Yu.

Liu Jun nodded, and said with a smile: "These eighteen people who have been set in this batch, I will try to call a few old guys when I go back, and the two real yàn rooms in the early stage can be built." By the way, Mr. Xia, Lao Guo will arrive in the afternoon. When I got off the plane at five o'clock, I told him to come here directly?"

The two practical rooms in the early stage are actually the two directions of mobile phone scheme design and function, and they do not count the group of smartphones, which will be discussed in detail after the acquisition of BlueSmart is negotiated.

At this time, Xia Yu has also been keeping in touch with Yang Chunsheng, who is also on a "secret mission", and in the past two weeks, he has basically pulled up a mobile phone function room, rented a new office, and even started work.

"No, let's pick it up!"

"Good!"

Xiao Wenjing continued to stare at the decoration. The two immediately rushed to the airport. It was just after four o'clock when I got there, but I chatted and waited, and it didn't take long for my flight to Houston.

Guo Fandong is also a senior electronic engineer in his early forties.

He and Liu Jun were college classmates in his early years, and later went to the United States to study together. However, after working in the United States for some years, Liu Jun finally chose to return to China, and he has been settling here since then, and he has also married an American wife, and now his life is quite stable.

After receiving a call from Liu Jun. He didn't take it too seriously at first, mainly because now his BlueSmart company is running well, except for a few car manufacturer customers. Recently, the newly developed mobile phone system is also smooth, although I don't know if there is a prospect, but there is no rush to sell the company.

But as an old friend for many years, Liu Jun revealed more information to him on the phone.

$5 million is tempting enough, which is almost twice the value of his company's clothes, and the sincerity is very strong.

What shocked him even more was that the boss of this self-made company that founded a billion-yuan valuation company within half a year was actually an 18-year-old boy!

The development of the science and technology industry is leapfrogging, and when the accumulation is sufficient, whether it is technological breakthrough or commercial success, it is often one or two geniuses who are born, which in turn drives the rapid development of the entire industry.

This is a statement that these "old people" who understand both technology and business have long agreed.

Will Xia Yu of Huaguo be a figure like Jobs and Gates?

Of course, Guo Fandong is not sure, but he cannot deny the slightest possibility. Especially after carefully researching and consulting about the growth of Polestar Electronics, this possibility has increased a bit.

And if you bet right, it will be an opportunity to soar and even leave a name in the history of science and technology!

He couldn't help but hesitate, so he rushed over as soon as he dealt with the urgent matter at hand.

"Lao Guo, here!"

At the exit of the airport, Liu Jun saw Guo Fandong's iconic bald head and hurriedly beckoned to him.

smiled and said to Xia Yu next to him: "Lao Guo was less white-headed when he was studying, and then he lost his hair and Yan zhòng, but he has been in this style for a few years. It's a good fit for him!"

Xia Yu looked over, Guo Fansheng was 1.85 meters tall, but he was very thin, which was not at all different from the image of bald and fat people in the traditional impression.

It's a good fit?

I also talked to him on the phone a few times before, and when I saw him coming over, Xia Yu also took the initiative to say hello first: "Mr. Guo has worked hard all the way!" (to be continued......)

PS: The first update arrives! There is something in the company in the morning, I just finished writing this chapter, and I will continue immediately, and the next chapter will be eight o'clock in the evening.

I would like to thank my grandfather for the valuable monthly ticket support of the two brothers I am yes and Dalian bookworm, as well as the book review area and friends in the group. Again, the essence of this book is reasonable, and the main line of all seizing the possibility to create a zào history is unchanged.

70 monthly tickets were added yesterday, and the next 20 are not far away, continue to ask for tickets!
