By the time Greatwall got on track and started the formal R&D work, it was already June, and after a busy month, the company, which had been sent by Liu Xun with high hopes, finally started its formal work.

Throughout May, Liu Xun was busy, and he participated in the preparation of the Great Wall from beginning to end, including the interior layout of the building that was named Mingde, Zhiyuan, and Shensi.

The company's personnel recruitment, in addition to the technical pressure interview, Liu Xun also participated in the whole process, and greatwall to recruit more than just technical personnel, although at present, similar to the marketing department does not need to recruit, regardless of management talents, or from scratch to train well, Liu Xun has already had a complete set of personnel training plan, and, with the completion of the research and development progress, will continue to recruit a variety of talents, of course, the follow-up recruitment, will not be based on technical personnel.

After the recruitment of the whole month of May was completed, more than 1,100 employees who joined the company have been fully engaged in their official work. Here, the vast majority of them are technicians. Of course, such a large number of employees also means that Liu Xun has to pay 12 million US dollars in human resources costs every month for this. It's no wonder that some people often say that R&D is to burn money, and every month, wages alone will burn more than 10 million US dollars, if it is not supported by American land certificates, hehe......

But at this moment, Liu Xun was looking at the financial budget and process arrangement handed over by Chu He, his face was full of pain and pain, he had long known that R&D was a money-burning job, but he didn't expect that when he had the source code, he would still burn money and grind so much.

Not to mention the salary of the personnel, this Liu Xun has already estimated that it will be 360 million in 30 months, and Liu Xun has long been prepared. According to Chu He's estimate, even if you have the source code, if you want to develop a complete operating system and supporting software, you will start to research and develop it intensively from now on, and if you invest enough funds, it will take about thirty months, that is, it will be able to complete the research and development by the beginning of 95.

In the past 30 months, the total cost of human resources expenditure is as high as 360 million US dollars, but the cost of 360 million US dollars can only account for half of the entire R & D expenses, after all, R & D work, also need investment in software and hardware, need various instruments and equipment, etc., according to Chu He's rough estimate, also need between 300 million US dollars and 400 million US dollars, this is still because of the relationship between the source code.

In other words, before the completion of research and development, the cost that needs to be invested is between 600 million and 800 million US dollars, and even if it is calculated at the current exchange rate, it will be as high as 3.3 billion to 4.4 billion yuan.

Seeing the huge number, Liu Xun couldn't help but feel a burst of shock, although this kid claims to be worth four billion yuan, but he still owes more than 300 million US dollars in the bank, and he still owes some of the transaction money between Lena and Valentine, and Cisco's shares cannot be discounted, so the money that this kid can use is also limited. directly let him commit suicide.

But every time he sees Chu He's budget, Liu Xun still can't help but feel pain, that's billions of RMB, this year, the richest man in China is estimated to be worth so much, if he doesn't have too much ambition and guards billions, the annual interest alone can support people to death. It's a pity, Liu Xun is not a person who is a little rich, although billions are big rich, big rich.

However, if Liu Xun's mentality of suffering from gains and losses is known by the people of Microsoft, I am afraid that I will scold this kid for being cheap and selling well, rubbing, God knows, as long as you spend hundreds of millions of dollars to develop a new operating system, such a good thing, you kid is not happy and dare to complain, this is not cheap, what is it, which year did Microsoft invest billions of dollars in research and development? Even if it is a simple operating system research and development, seven or eight billion dollars, is not enough. In this multi-billion dollar R&D field, a few hundred million dollars is only enough to buy an entry ticket. In research and development, the most money and energy is naturally on the source code, and only high-end technical personnel can participate, and the progress is extremely slow.

Liu Xun is sure that if he takes out this source code for public auction, he is willing to buy it for one billion and two billion dollars, and it will definitely abound. With the source code, it is almost certain that a completely new operating system will be developed, and it will save countless hours of time. For the sake of its leading position, Microsoft must have bought this source code with an iron heart, and is willing to spend money to buy time, Microsoft is definitely wealthy. Of course, in addition to Microsoft, other people are not stingy, there are more people who have the intention to surpass Microsoft, and some people are not used to the situation of Microsoft's dominance, and some people can afford the price, because, to get this source code, if the strength is enough, surpassing Microsoft, is almost a certainty.

Of course, Liu Xun will not think about auctioning the source code in his head even if he is crazy, the comparison between hundreds of billions of dollars and billions of dollars, fools know what to choose, besides, to build another Microsoft, the kind of much-anticipated achievement, it is arrogant to think about. In fact, to the point where Liu Xun is now, he is no longer just making money, with his current worth, money is just a number.

However, Liu Xun is still not very satisfied with the financial budget and progress estimate that Chu He took out, not that he is not satisfied with the high price budget and the degree of burning money in research and development, Liu Xun has long been mentally prepared, he is not satisfied because the research and development progress formulated by Chu He is too slow, and it will take thirty months to complete.

According to Liu Xun's memory, Microsoft's windows95 was released in August 95, so it can be speculated that the time when Microsoft developed this operating system was at least three months earlier than the release time to communicate with computer manufacturers, test, etc., that is to say, Microsoft will be able to come up with a mature operating system around May 95 at the latest, and it is more likely that there will be mature technology around March. Around the release of Windows 95, Microsoft began to lay out in 94, such as a WAP.

According to Chu He's estimate, it will take about thirty months for Greatwall to come up with a mature operating system, that is, it will be around January 95, although it seems to be a little earlier than Microsoft, but two or three months is not enough to seize the market.

Moreover, greatwall comes up with an operating system, of course, it will stimulate Microsoft to release windows95 earlier, stimulate Microsoft's research and development, such a behemoth, once it runs at full speed, Liu Xun has no chance of winning at all. Moreover, if at that time, even if the technology is not very mature, the system is still a little unstable, and there are still many vulnerabilities, it will force Microsoft to release.

It is conceivable that if the release time is about the same, and there is not much leadership in technology, Microsoft with its deep confidence, with its position in the industry, with the long-term cooperative relationship with personal computer manufacturers, the victory in the market is inevitable, computer manufacturers, will definitely be willing to cooperate with Microsoft, and personal computer users, probably more willing to trust and use Microsoft products.

Therefore, if you want to defeat Microsoft in one fell swoop, you must have enough advance in time, and you must be able to lead Microsoft for at least half a year, so that Liu Xun has enough time to arrange, so that computer manufacturers can ignore Microsoft's market share and influence to choose greatwall's products.

According to Liu Xun's estimates, Microsoft may be able to come up with a less mature technical solution at the beginning of 95, that is to say, it is best to be able to come up with a mature system in June 94, and then grsetwall still needs enough time to go to public relations, to contact computer manufacturers to complete testing, etc., what Microsoft can complete in three months, put it on greatwall, it will take at least four months to six months, to complete these preliminary preparations and then release the product. Even, in the early stage, in order to inform the market, it is necessary to continue to invest a huge amount of advertising costs.

"Sister Chu, how can you speed up the progress?" Liu Xun looked at the budget in front of him and frowned vigorously, "I mean, I hope to be able to come up with a mature technical solution before June 94, so that it is convenient for the market to operate." ”

"Six months in advance?" Chu He also frowned, she didn't understand why Liu Xun was so urgent, six months, put in the thirty months of research and development time, accounting for one-fifth, that is not a short period of time, not to save if you want to save, and, according to her estimates, even if Microsoft wants to come up with a mature plan, it will not be until after 95 years, it seems that there is no need to be too anxious. This is the gap between pure technical personnel and professional managers, she thinks more from the technical field, business operations, Chu He can't take into account a lot, just think that it is better to be able to advance than Microsoft, as for how much in advance, it is impossible to estimate.

Frowning and thinking about it slightly, Chu He still opened his mouth, "It's not impossible, the key depends on how much Xun Shao is willing to spend." ”

Chu He said and looked at Liu Xun with a smile, "According to the previous budget, it only takes about 700 million US dollars to complete the entire research and development, but since Xun Shao wants to complete it faster and technically perfect, then he can only spend money to buy time, well, he can only spend money to buy time, six months, 200 million US dollars."
