After Zhang Shaojie ended the call with Huang Tingjun, with uncontrollable joy, he reported the good news to everyone in Hong Kong Computer Manuscript Technology Co., Ltd.: "There is news from the United States, Professor Huang has successfully reached a cooperation agreement with Apple. The computer manuscript software, sold in the United States under the ORD brand, was launched on February 20 and sold 700 copies in just 10 days. For $150 per copy, our company takes 40% of the profit, and makes a profit of $42,000 in ten days! ”

After this huge good news spread throughout the company, more than a dozen employees of the Hong Kong headquarters exploded and discussed!

"Really?" "It's unbelievable! "I didn't expect that such a simple procedure could make so much profit in the United States! "Huge profits! ”

Earning $42,000 in more than 10 days is not a small amount.

If it is calculated into Hong Kong dollars, there are more than 300,000 yuan, and if the performance can be sustained in this way, the company will make at least one million Hong Kong dollars in monthly profits.

Compared with real estate companies and financial companies in Hong Kong, this profit is almost negligible fraction.

However, compared with some manufacturing factories, it is roughly equivalent to the profits that can be achieved by manufacturing factories with annual sales of more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars, and factories that can sell 100 million Hong Kong dollars are medium-sized enterprises with thousands of employees, to say the least.

Hong Kong Computer Manuscript Technology Co., Ltd. has only more than 20 employees, and the profitability of each person is equivalent to 50 people in the traditional industry, and such a company has only been established for less than two months!

The future is limitless, this is the first feeling of most employees in the company!

Then, Zhang Shaojie explained: "For the time being, North America is indeed a lot of profits, but I asked Professor Huang to set up a North American company in the United States. Therefore, the profits of the North American market will not be handed over to the headquarters for dividends in the next six months! However, I promise that when the U.S. branch stabilizes, I will continue to hand over profits to give back to the headquarters. At that time, everyone will have a lot of red envelopes. Moreover, according to the development trend of our company, we can earn tens of millions, hundreds of millions a year. At that time, the company will even be able to apply for listing on the NASDAQ in the United States. Before listing, all employees of the company will be distributed to a large number of original shares according to their ability, seniority and contribution! Because the IT industry is a sunrise industry that is favored by the capital market, the market value of high-tech companies listed in the United States is often more than dozens of times larger than before they were listed! Apple's toilet sweeper has a net worth of hundreds of thousands of dollars, and Jobs only had a net worth of one million yuan before going public, and immediately after the listing, he had a wealth of more than 3,000 US dollars. Imagine, the ROI of that industry, is as profitable as sending high-tech companies to the NASDAQ? ”

Zhang Shaojie knows how to draw a big pie best and promises the future. According to his description, if it can successfully go public and become the next Apple company, then the company's employees will be incentivized by the original equity before going public, and once they go public, they will become millionaires, multimillionaires, all over the company. At that time, the company's employees who cleaned toilets would have a net worth of hundreds of thousands

Such a bright future, who does not scream excitedly.

Shaohuai quietly said to him: "Brother, what if in a few years, the company's development is not as good as you say?" ”

Zhang Shaojie also whispered: "It's better to draw a big pie for them and motivate them to forge ahead than to pour cold water and make everyone unmotivated!" Encourage more without increasing operating costs! ”

"Brother, you are a natural annihilator!" Shaohuai despised him.

Zhang Shaojie said cheekily: "No business, no annihilation!" The dead are said to be alive, and the square is said to be round, this is a successful businessman! ”

After the establishment of the "computer manuscript paper" company, Shaohuai is no longer the backbone of technology.

After all, programmers who are better than Shaohuai technology, not to mention Silicon Valley in the United States, even Hong Kong is a big deal.

Although computer courses in the 80s were not as popular as later, universities in Hong Kong trained at least 200 undergraduate and junior college graduates of computer science every year.

These students, most of whom have been learning computer science for four or five years, must have a much stronger foundation than a beginner like Shaohuai, who has been in school for less than two months during the winter vacation.

Under the recruitment of a monthly salary of up to 3,000 Hong Kong dollars from the "computer manuscript paper" company, computer science students throughout Hong Kong squeezed their heads to submit their resumes. Every day, the company arranges more than 10 interviews with candidates.

Carefully selected, an average of one new employee is hired every two days.

At present, the entire company's team has reached 25 people. Among them, 20 are technical talents, and the rest are administrative and sales talents.

The reason why the emphasis is on technology and the neglect of sales.

That's because, for the time being, the products of "Computer Manuscript Paper" Technology Co., Ltd. are mainly aimed at the North American market.

In the early 80s, the penetration rate of personal computers in Hong Kong was too low and the cost of opening up new markets was too high. Zhang Shaojie is not willing to be a pioneer cow for the time being. Only when the penetration rate of personal computers in Hong Kong increases to a certain level, can selling software have a future!

In the computer industry, Zhang Shaojie's doctrine is to see the wind and steer - Apple computers are more popular, so he develops applications on Apple computers. When IBM's PC standards are the trend of the times, they will unswervingly throw themselves into the PC camp.

This kind of judgment on the direction of the market can make the computer manuscript paper company in the general direction, there will be no problems.

Because of optimism about the future of the software industry, March. Zhang Shaojie injected HK$1 million into the "computer manuscript paper" in the form of convertible bonds.

This fund is not counted as a share for the time being, but is exempted from dividends, and after one year, it can be converted into a new share capital to expand Zhang Shaojie's shareholding in the company.

In addition to the capital injection, Zhang Shaojie also promoted some senior management.

The CEO, Lei Li, 45, is a returnee who has a master's degree in business administration from Boston University.

Deputy technical director, Kong Lingqi, 35 years old, is a relatively young technical backbone, who has previously been in charge of software engineering projects in IBM and has a technical level that is not inferior to Huang Tingjun.

Sales director, Shen Qingyi, is only 25 years old. I used to sell in insurance, cosmetics, real estate and other industries. It is very insightful for selling all kinds of goods.

For the time being, these talents are not fixed.

If the performance is not good in the future, it is natural to let "the mediocre go down, and the capable go up".

After Zhang Shaojie's adjustment, the company established a new leadership team.

The shareholders of the company and the management of the company are two shifts, showing signs of formalization.

Of course, all the employees who have joined the company now are considered to be entrepreneurs. Most companies, start-ups, always have the most returns. In the next three years, Zhang Shaojie plans to use 10% of the company's shares to carry out equity incentives for employees.

Zhang Shaojie revealed that the company's development goal at this stage is to go public!

Therefore, the company's management also consciously moves closer to the management model of listed companies.

Looking at the spontaneous enthusiasm of the employees, Zhang Shaojie couldn't help but feel proud. Sure enough, if you want the horse to run fast and steadily, and promise future benefits, it is the best means!

—————————— "Computer Manuscript Paper" Technology Co., Ltd. is an accidental, limited investment, but in exchange for huge returns, it is in response to the sentence "science and technology are the primary productive forces".

However, Zhang Shaojie knows that with his current funds, resources, and talents, it is simply delusional to lead the trend of scientific and technological development.

In the United States after World War II, the number of technology patent registrations reached its peak. For decades, the number of patent registrations in the United States has been ranked first in the world, and at this time, the quality and quantity of scientific and technological patents and academic papers in the whole of Europe and other major scientific and technological countries are not as good as those of the United States.

It is precisely because of the research and development of science and technology that it occupies half of the world's high-tech field. Therefore, most of the world's scientific and technological patent standards are basically equivalent to American standards.

The IT industry is a high-tech industry that the United States attaches great importance to, whether it is technical reserves, the number of talents, or the scale of investment. The rest of the world combined is no match for the United States at this time.

It would certainly be unrealistic to want to "punch IBM and kick Intel" right now. Therefore, Zhang Shaojie is very sober to position his main business as the cultural industry.

After half a year of preparation, the movie "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty: Origin" invested by Zhang Shaojie has finally been produced.

After getting the good news, Zhang Shaojie excitedly rushed to Baolong Film Company, ready to watch the copy.

"It's the pinnacle of technology and imagination!" Richard. Taylor continued to boast in Zhang Shaojie, "You never think about what kind of visual effects technology will bring to the movie"

"Yes!" Zhang Shaojie coped.

"The visual impact of the revolutionary surname, the traditional film special effects technology, whether it is props, models, or makeup, will be crushed by the computer CG special effects!" Richard continued to boast, "The whole world will be shocked by "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty"

Zhang Shaojie said: "I want to go to the screening room to watch the movie copy in person, instead of listening to your rambling!" ”

Richard said in frustration: "Dude, don't be so ruthless. When digging the foot of the wall, people are your iron buddies. After becoming your subordinate, you become a punching bag? ”

When Zhang Shaojie heard this, he looked at him, but saw Richard's funny expression, knew that he was joking, and said, "Wait, when did you jump ship, why don't I know?" ”

"Three days ago, after watching "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty: Origin", I realized. Such a movie will sweep the world in the future, and this is a blockbuster that can sweep everything! Therefore, I quietly approached Mr. Gu Long to talk about changing jobs, and I asked for a monthly salary of 20,000 Hong Kong dollars, and Mr. Gu Long actually agreed. And my contract with ILM will expire in more than 1 month, and when the time comes, I can come directly to Hong Kong to work! Richard explained with a relaxed expression, "There are no legal after-effects!" ”

"In just over a month, your contract with ILM expires?" Zhang Shaojie expressed surprise.

Richard said with an indifferent attitude: "I asked ILM for a monthly salary of $2,500, and Lucas flatly refused. He thought that if he agreed to me, he would have to agree to other employees' requests for salary increases. So that's it, one shot and two scattered! ”

Zhang Shaojie patted him on the shoulder: "Welcome to Baolong Film Company!" ”

"Thank you!" Richard had a useful expression.
