On the third day after several people arrived in San Francisco, after the jet lag, Shan Xiuling began to take out some schematic drawings of real estate to show Liu Xun.

Of course, Liu Xun wants to buy in San Francisco is not a residence, but for the software development company to be established, since he is ready to create a company that is on a par with Microsoft, naturally he can't be too petty, in the purchase of property, Liu Xun has always been more atmospheric, in fact, not long ago, Cisco spent tens of millions of dollars to buy a new property as an office space.

However, Shan Xiuling took out several renderings of office buildings in a row, and Liu Xun was not very satisfied, either the area was too small or the geographical location was not ideal.

Shan Xiuling can't understand what kind of enterprise Liu Xun is going to create, and she can't think of how much budget Liu Xun has prepared.

Gao Daier was very quiet after arriving in the United States, and she didn't pester Liu Xun, she knew that Liu Xun must have something very important to do in the United States, so Xiao Nizi let Liu Xun accompany her for a long time, and then started to have fun by herself, the little girl was also the first time to the United States, everything was very novel.

As for Liu Xun, he now admires his foresight to leave Shan Xiuling in the United States to help him do the preliminary preparations, with the help of Shan Xiuling and the entire team under her, some things can be carried out in an orderly manner, otherwise, if these subtle tasks are in his charge, I don't know how much work will be wasted, such as looking for real estate, such as organizing the preliminary work of a job fair.

It took six days in San Francisco, and the only work Liu Xun did was to buy a very grand office building and a large piece of abandoned land around Silicon Valley at a cost of 65 million US dollars. It is easy to integrate thousands of people to work at the same time, as for the third, there is a large piece of abandoned land on this side of this building that can be bought together, and the price is very cheap, Liu Xun is ready to use this place as the headquarters of his new company, as for this magnificent office building, it is Liu Xun who is ready to surpass Microsoft before use. Of course, since it is a headquarters, it naturally cannot be too small, and it is very convenient to expand in the future with the surrounding land.

In addition to buying the office building, another thing Liu Xun did was to set the name and design the logo of the company he was about to start.

Originally, Liu Xun still wanted to use the name of Huaqing, he had a soft spot for this name, and on this, there were also some thoughts of him in another time and space, but he thought that he had founded Huaqing Technology in China and Huaq Company in the United States, so he finally decided on the name Greatwall.

As for the trademark, it is also based on the Great Wall, and after some design, it can fully express the meaning of software development, which is simple but not simple.

Shan Xiuling originally complained that Liu Xun, the boss, was too idle and had been squeezing the labor of employees, but after seeing the logo designed by Liu Xun, she obediently shut up, and she vaguely felt that she seemed to be involved in an event that had a huge impact on the future, although Liu Xun did not specifically talk to her about what she was going to do.

I have to say that a woman's intuition is sometimes a very scary thing, and the result of serving really proves her feeling at this time, a few years later, the logo designed by Liu Xun became the symbol of the personal computer operating system, as the second person to see that logo, Shan Xiuling finally knew what kind of terrifying existence her little boss was. The office building she had just purchased would become a mecca for software engineers and programmers around the world a few years later, as they all knew it was the place where the famous graphical Windows operating system was developed.

Of course, a few years later, the surroundings of that building have changed greatly, with the building as the center, several more magnificent R&D bases and office buildings have already been established, these are naturally later words, Shan Xiuling every time she talks about this matter, she has a lot of emotion, and she also wrote in her autobiography that she witnessed and participated in the rise of a miracle, she feels that she is very honored and very lucky.

While looking for properties, Shan Xiuling also sent out recruitment information in the talent base of Silicon Valley, preparing to recruit software engineers and computer programmers on a large scale.

Silicon Valley is the distribution center of high-tech personnel all over the world, the daily turnover of personnel is quite large, and there are quite a lot of new recruits who leave every day, but they don't have to worry about recruiting talents, but the cost of human resources in Silicon Valley is also quite high, an ordinary programmer with good skills, the annual salary is between 80,000 US dollars and 150,000 US dollars, as for software engineers and senior software engineers, the annual salary is high, in addition to the option awards that may have companies, the annual salary is also as high as hundreds of thousands of dollars or even higher, Senior software engineers, in particular, are also in high demand in Silicon Valley.

When Shan Xiuling first received Liu Xun's recruitment plan, she almost threw the recruitment letter into the ground in fright, not that Liu Xun's salary was too high or too low, but that Liu Xun was preparing to recruit too many people, it didn't look like she was preparing to engage in a company, but like a loser.

Taking ordinary programmers and software technicians as an example, Liu Xun plans to recruit more than 400 people, nearly 100 software engineers and software engineers, and more than 10 senior software engineers.

If it is really recruited according to the number of people on this recruitment plan and according to the above treatment, Shan Xiuling roughly estimated that the monthly salary cost of a single person alone would be as high as more than 10 million US dollars, God, is this kid crazy? A loser can't be so defeated, even if she has the cash cow of the American land certificate by her side, Shan Xiuling still feels that Liu Xun is a loser, but after reminding Liu Xun several times to no avail, she had to put the recruitment plan into the talent market in Silicon Valley according to Liu Xun's requirements. Fortunately, she also knew that Liu Xun was not a fool, and she must have her own considerations when she did this, but she still couldn't hide her doubts.

In fact, the reason why so many people are planned to be recruited, Liu Xun is also very helpless, the so-called greatwall software company has just been created, and it is not famous in the industry, ordinary programmers are good to say, Silicon Valley grabs a lot of money, the main treatment is reasonable, how many can be recruited, ordinary software engineers, high salaries can also be found, but senior software engineers are not very easy, it is not only the treatment can be impressed, raising a family is already a very distant thing for them, what they are pursuing, is the success of his career and the realization of the value of life, and Liu Xun doesn't expect the treatment he wrote to impress these people.

As for the number of recruits, in Liu Xun's view, it is really not much, perhaps, for an average software company, hundreds of programmers, nearly 100 assistant software engineers, software engineers, more than a dozen senior software engineers may be a lot of people, but if you know that these people are used to develop a new operating system, I am afraid that everyone will think that these people are too few.

You must know that among Microsoft's more than 60,000 employees, the proportion of R&D personnel is as high as 51 percent, and among the world's high-tech companies, it belongs to a relatively high proportion, up to more than 30,000 people, and the main R&D tasks of these more than 30,000 R&D personnel are Windows operating systems and office software.

With Microsoft's strength, it takes tens of thousands of years of research and development, and a small company with a small name wants to rely on hundreds of people to develop a new operating system that does not rely on DOS, doesn't it make people laugh out of their teeth?

As for personnel expenses, Liu Xun has long been mentally prepared, Microsoft spends billions of dollars on research and development every year, and most of this money is used for personnel expenses, developing the operating system by itself, even if it is opportunistic, I am afraid that it will also need to burn a lot of money, Liu Xun is ready to burn money.

However, Liu Xun doesn't know how many R&D personnel he needs, let alone how much money he has to burn to burn out the operating system, and the number of recruits he plans to draw is only his approximate estimate, after all, on the computer, he is not from a professional class, and he has not been responsible for the development of software, so he can only rely on a rough estimate.

Of course, this is not difficult for him, since he is ready to start a company, Liu Xun is naturally well prepared.

Just when Shan Xiuling handed over the building with the property developer, Liu Xun also met another person in a private room in a teahouse in Chinatown.

"Miss Chu, I think Miss Xue has already communicated with you on the phone before, I am going to set up a software development company to develop a new graphical Windows operating system that can be independent of the DOS system, I need talents in this area, I need senior software engineers, and I need partners who can create an era with me," Liu Xun said and shook hands with the person opposite, and his eyes subconsciously glanced at the other party's chest, "And Xue Juewu recommended you to me." ”

But he sighed in his heart, he was worthy of being the person recommended by Xue Juewu, and the size of his chest definitely had a fight with Xue Juewu!!

This is Liu Xun's first meeting with Chu He, who is regarded as the father of the graphical window operating system many years later, of course, the latter has never been very interested in this title, it is said that on non-public occasions, she has mentioned many times that even if she wants to praise herself, she should be called the mother of the operating system, she is a woman, as for the father, it should be Liu Xun......

Well, it's father and mother, it seems to be very ambiguous. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. )
