Chapter 116 Shenzhen Investment Trip II

Liu Si regretted that he was not able to invest in Huawei, after all, this will be a group company worth hundreds of billions of dollars in the future. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Since Huawei doesn't want to invest, then it will take out the funds and do it alone. The formation of a company, especially the preparation of this kind of technical high-tech company is not simple, in addition to funds, there are equipment, management personnel, research and technical personnel and other related talents, and the preliminary preparation requires at least 2 months of preparation period work.

In the early stage of preparation, it was not easy to recruit and attract equipment, management personnel, research and technical personnel and other related talents.

The companies that are ready to be established include two major brands: vivo and Meizu. Among them, vivo, as a private communication technology technology Co., Ltd. that produces and sells communication equipment, will compete with Ericsson, Cisco, Huawei, CITIC and other enterprises in terms of switching networks, transmission networks, wireless and wired fixed access networks, data communication networks and wireless terminal products in communication networks, as well as providing hardware equipment, software, services and solutions for communication operators and professional network owners around the world.

As an electronics company, Meizu's main business scope includes hard disks, memory modules, motherboards, graphics cards, monitors, semiconductors, LCD screens and other related electronic components and accessories, as well as finished products such as TVs, computers, MP3s, notebooks, etc. Moreover, among the two companies, Meizu is definitely in the No1 perspective.

In order to run these two companies well and stronger, Liu Si made up his mind to withdraw $1 billion from foreign capital for initial investment in the first phase. Of course, for the convenience of funds in the future, the initial $1 billion was withdrawn from the securities account in Singapore and reopened at Citibank, but the $1 billion was not exchanged for soft sister currency through the central bank. After all, if you want to buy research equipment and facilities in the future, China can't provide much help, and you have to spend dollars to buy the most advanced research equipment and facilities.

500 million US dollars, which is equivalent to more than 4.2 billion soft sister coins. At that time in China in 1997, many state-owned enterprises and some private enterprises had more operating income than this, but it was difficult to see more than 4.2 billion yuan in cash at once, except for the state's fiscal revenue.

In order to communicate the entry of this amount of money, Liu Si also personally visited many leaders of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, and it took three days to communicate.

The reason why this fund of up to more than 4.2 billion yuan was able to enter the country was that Liu Si accompanied most of the officials of the Shenzhen government, party office, customs and other departments to deal with each other and gave a lot of gifts; Second, Liu Si, who has more than 4.2 billion yuan of funds and Hong Kong nationality, does not allow the Shenzhen government to take a peep, and if he attracts a sum of up to 4.2 billion yuan to attract investment, the performance of the officials in power is very good; Third, Liu Si promised that the huge amount of money would not enter China's fragile financial market, but would be used entirely for industrial investment, and that the Shenzhen government could send someone to supervise the use of the funds.

In the 90s, China's foreign exchange policy was very strict, but there was a contradiction in the government's policy at that time - the contradiction between attracting investment and foreign exchange control.

Since there is investment attraction, foreign exchange can still enter the country in terms of foreign exchange control. In the foreign exchange control policy, the central government will not back down on only two points: first, foreign exchange cannot be exchanged for foreign exchange at will, and there are corresponding foreign exchange exchange quota restrictions; Second, foreign exchange is not allowed to enter the domestic financial market at will.

In his previous life, as a college student majoring in economics, Liu Si knew this very well, so he was quite sure of the $500 million investment he was negotiating with the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone. $500 million in foreign exchange is not a small amount, and it is also a contribution to the country.

In his previous life, Liu Si knew that many people did not understand foreign exchange policies. There is no discussion of other policies, but when it comes to economic policy, the state is really not wrong.

Needless to say, the role of foreign exchange reserves is that in the era of the credit money system, it is necessary to reserve international currencies. For China, the main purpose of foreign exchange reserves has always been to retain capital. In the 90s, even though China had been reforming and opening up for nearly 20 years, at that time China only had labor, and there was still a lack of capital and technology.

In this context, Liu Si's $500 million entry was perfectly resolved.

The funds are in place, and vivo Technology Co., Ltd. and Meizu Electronics Co., Ltd. are registered in the name of Liu's father, but it is not easy for Meizu and vivo to operate, and it is difficult to have knowledgeable senior executives! Next, Liu Si had to trouble the headhunting company to help.

Putting aside the affairs of vivo and Meizu, Liu Sicai really had time to visit Zhang Zhidong.

Founded in 1990 by Zhang Yihui, Liming Network Co., Ltd. is the earliest professional technology company engaged in computer network communication system integration in China. Up to now, from designing industry system integration solutions to providing e-commerce integrated services, Liming Network has designed nearly 1,000 sets of computer network systems for customers in 31 provinces and cities across the country, including Shanghai Stock Exchange, Shenzhen Stock Exchange, Shenzhen Municipal Government Information System, Ningbo Information Port, Wuxi Information Port and other large and complex systems.

As one of the earliest network computer companies, Liming Network Co., Ltd. is still very famous in Shenzhen, and it is not difficult to find its company address.

Zhang Zhidong is working in such a promising network company. When Liu Si led people to Liming Network Co., Ltd. to find someone, it also caused a sensation, after all, not everyone has a few bodyguards to protect them.

It is true that gold shines everywhere, Zhang Zhidong's programming IT technical ability has been recognized in just one year, but his status is not high. Neither CTO nor manager, the people of Liming Network Company really don't understand a rich man coming to Zhang Zhidong.

Looking at the lively dawn staff around them, they really didn't want to disturb them, but there was no way to come to Zhang Zhidong when they got off work, who knows if they can find someone after work?

When he saw Zhang Zhidong, he was still very confused, his eyes looked at Liu Si a little casually, and his mind was full of doubts, "Hello, are you looking for me?" ”

When the supervisor told Zhang Zhidong that someone was looking for him, he was busy with the research and development of the core product of e-commerce independent innovation of Liming Network - the e-commerce information exchange integrated service platform. Its purpose is to create a comprehensive service mechanism of "using any electronic terminal, enjoying any e-commerce service anytime and anywhere", that is, "anytoany", and boils down complex e-commerce to a simple A2A platform operation, whose purpose is to build China's independent e-commerce basic framework and promote the development of China's e-commerce industrialization.

The concept of A2A is innovative, but unfortunately it is not as useful as B2B, B2C, and C2C, but as a technology fan, Zhang Zhidong is full of enthusiasm and enthusiasm for it.

"Well, my name is Liu Si, and I am the founder and president of Penguin Network Technology Co., Ltd. As a top student of Shenzhen University and South China University of Technology, Mr. Zhang has always been a great admirer of me. In this regard, I would like to invite Mr. Zhang to join Penguin Network Technology Co., Ltd. and create some achievements with me. Sitting in an office arranged by Liming Company, Liu Si couldn't wait to say, his words were full of expectations for Zhang Zhidong, and he couldn't help but be a little anxious.

"Join your company?" Zhang Zhidong asked rhetorically, he was very skeptical, after all, pies will not fall from the sky.

"Penguin Network Technology Co., Ltd. is an Internet company registered in Hangzhou, mainly making instant chat software, which is a product like ICQ released half a year ago. If Mr. Zhang can join Penguin, I guarantee that Mr. Zhang will be able to take the position of CTO; The annual salary will also reach 500,000 yuan, and if you count the bonus, maybe the annual salary will exceed one million is not a dream. After talking for a while, looking up and seeing Zhang Zhidong's questioning expression, Liu Si said very seriously, "Mr. Zhang doesn't believe Liu's words?" ”

Although Zhang Zhidong really didn't want to believe Liu Si's words in his heart, it was not easy to say it directly, so he had to look at Liu Dashao with an innocent expression.

"Brain platinum, Semir costumes, I think you know, right?"

"I know, you wouldn't say both products are yours!" Zhang Zhidong doesn't talk much, but he is very smart, otherwise he would not have obtained a master's degree in just 3 years.

"That's right, I am the founder of Jiante Biotechnology Co., Ltd. and the founder and president of Semir Apparel." Liu Si is still very proud of this, after all, Brain Platinum and Semir Clothing are both current famous products, and the sales results are very good.

"Mr. Liu's marketing has done a good job, and I admire him very much." Looking at Liu Si's young face, Zhang Zhidong is actually still a little jealous, why is he more accomplished than me at such a young age?

"How about joining Penguin Network Technologies?"

Zhang Zhidong didn't nod impulsively and agreed, but just thought about it and responded, "I'll think about it." ”

complained about how he didn't have the spirit of Wang Ba, and he immediately won over a talent cleanly, and he had to make some trouble. He shook his head helplessly and said, "Mr. Zhang should think about it carefully, because if he joins Penguin, it means that Mr. Zhang must sign a non-compete agreement. ”

"What is a non-compete agreement?" Zhang Zhidong is just a kid who has just left school to work, and it is not surprising that domestic non-compete agreements are not as well-known as those of later generations.

Liu Si explained very carefully, "The non-compete clause is a non-compete clause agreed by the employer in the labor contract, intellectual property rights ownership agreement or technical confidentiality agreement for the employee who is responsible for keeping the employer's trade secrets, that is, the employee shall not work in the employer that produces the same kind of products, operates the same kind of business or has other competitive relationships within a certain period of time after the termination or dissolution of the labor contract, nor shall he produce the same kind of products or operate the same kind of business that is in competition with the original unit." The limitation period shall be agreed upon by the parties in advance, but shall not exceed two years. A non-compete clause is a deferred entry into force clause in an employment contract, that is, it takes effect after the other provisions of the employment contract are legally binding. ”

Zhang Zhidong didn't know the future, thought about it and didn't raise any objections, so he promised to give Liu Si an answer tomorrow.
