Lin Qiangsheng smiled: "Compaq is also your computer company, Rod!" If you can lead the company to launch computer products that are popular in the market, I will fulfill my promise that 8% of Compaq's shares will be yours! ”

Rhodes was completely excited after hearing this, anyway, if he really got 8% of the shares, then this company really has a share of Rod Kenyon! Venture capital will not give itself any better conditions!

After handing over Compaq to Rod Kenyon, Lin Johnson gave him the right to operate the business completely.

In his previous life, Rod Kenyon and two others were able to start Compaq for $3,000 and build the company from scratch to glory. Mr. Lin believed he would be able to set up Compaq at this time, even if IBM hadn't launched a personal computer yet.

"The original forests of my land, try to destroy as little as possible! I don't want to see it full of buildings and no trees! Lin Qiangsheng said jokingly.

Rod Kenyon smiled, "Lin, don't worry. I will find a good designer, and Compaq's construction will be as soft and natural as possible! ”

Rhodes is confident that he can finally make a big difference.

Soon after, Rhodes submitted his resignation to Texas Instruments and asked his two best friends, Jimmy Harris and Bill Morton, to start a business at Compaq.

Lin Qiangsheng has promised him that as long as he is a talent, he can own the company's shares and equity dividends according to his contributions.

Two more days in Houston, the beaches weren't very beautiful and there were too many seagulls. There is also a lot of garbage. Lin Qiangsheng tanned a lot, and Ryan's skin also turned red.

Just as the two were discussing whether to continue to Miami or return to New York, Stanley Jacks, who was in Detroit to negotiate with GM, Ford, and Chrysler to license valve timing technology, came with good news. The companies agreed to transfer some of the technology patents for the car to Mr. Lin's Saturn.

Lin Johnson immediately flew back to Detroit with Ryan.

Stanley's negotiations with these giant car companies were extremely difficult, and these car companies, with their characteristic arrogance, initially refused to transfer technology to Mr. Lin's company. There was almost unanimous demand that the valve timing technology be transferred to them unconditionally, and that they were willing to pay only a small royalty.

The arrogance of these giant companies aroused Lin Qiangsheng's disgust, and he asked the LS Research Institute to speed up the research of derivative technology, and the details of the valve timing technology in later generations, Lin Qiangsheng told the LS Research Institute's electronics expert Cordinand. As long as you make a similar sample, you can immediately register a patent!

Lin believes that after the world's automakers saw his valve timing technology, they were inspired. He believes that there are many companies that have stepped up their research on patents for this technology. They will take another way to bypass Lin Johnson's patented technology, so that his patent is useless!

But how could Lin Qiangsheng let these companies succeed casually!

He stepped up the development of the valve timing technology that came after him, but he wanted to see how these companies could get around his patents. In the end, they have to obediently beg for their own authorization or technology exchange!

Mr. Lin asked Stanley to stop contact with major car companies. Cool down the other party's anger first, let them calm down.

The major automobile manufacturers originally had a dispensable attitude towards negotiating with Lin Johnson's company, and any technology could be bypassed in the face of capital, and they could still use it forcibly if they couldn't bypass it, which was nothing more than a lawsuit to drag on time. In the end, small companies compromise, which is a tried-and-true trick of large companies.

After discovering this situation, Lin Qiangsheng asked Stanley to negotiate with a Japanese automobile company after repeated consideration. Interviews with representatives of Toyota and Honda for technology patent transfer.

When the two sides negotiate the news. When it reached the American automakers, the Americans immediately became anxious. Lin Qiangsheng, a car designer from China, has nothing to fear, but the Japanese are different, they have the ability to produce tens of millions of cars per year, and if they are the first to get the valve timing technology, it will undoubtedly give American automakers a blow in the face!

In the 80 years that have just come, U.S. automakers are uniting to carry out government public relations, intending to persuade those in power to take measures to contain and exert pressure on Japanese auto companies during the new administration's term, mainly by increasing tariffs and increasing trade barriers, so as to alleviate the unfavorable situation of U.S. automakers.

A large number of Japanese cars are imported into the U.S. market, impacting the U.S. auto manufacturing industry, and the U.S. auto manufacturing giants can't stand it anymore, and they want to use their good political relations to carry out a political containment policy against Japanese car companies!

This also led to the situation that in the 80s, Japanese car companies established car manufacturing plants in the United States and Europe.

When the Japanese wanted to get the valve timing technology, GM and Chrysler couldn't sit still in the first place! They immediately took out their long-outdated technology patents and planned to transfer them to Lin Qiangsheng in exchange for the technology he mastered.

After Lin Qiangsheng found out, he thought that this trick was really good, so he took advantage of the donkey to slow down the pace of negotiations with the Japanese, and instead offered more and higher prices to the Americans.

What Lin Qiangsheng wants very much, such as the engine materials of GM's Chevrolet Cavalier Rider model, the manufacturing process of the body steel structure, and so on, these important materials and technical processes for automobile manufacturing.

The basic technology of these automobile manufacturing is something he can't buy in Italy, and the Italians only provide him with manufacturing equipment, and they also hold these material technologies tightly like treasures!

As a compact sedan, the Chevrolet Rider is a best-selling brand of General Motors, and Cadillac once used the Chevrolet Rider model to upgrade and build a mid-level luxury car, the Cadillac Cimalone, in the early 80s.

However, it is a pity that Cadillac's model failed, and the psychology of fooling consumers is undoubted. A compact car is a compact car, and you know you as you makeover!

However, from this upgrade, it can be seen that the foundation of the Chevrolet Cavalier is very good. If the country masters these basic technologies, the grade of car materials will immediately rise from the level of the Soviet Union in the fifties and sixties to the level of the seventies and eighties in the United States, which is simply an incredible progress!

After hesitating for a short time, GM quickly agreed to Lin Qiangsheng's request.

Through the technology transfer, Lin Qiangsheng successively obtained the basic technology of the car he dreamed of from the hands of General Motors and Chrysler!

After the merger of ROOTES and a British company that supplies car bodies, they learned the secrets of car body manufacturing and were able to significantly reduce costs. Lin Johnson will also directly benefit from these technologies, so that the manufacturing cost of Jetta cars will be reduced by a few percent!

Lin Qiangsheng returned to his villa in New York with joy and discussed the future development with Ryan.

"To increase the technical investment in the LS Research Institute, I have developed a plan for the development of an S-Class! This S-Class will be a direct rival to the BMW 7 Series and Mercedes-Benz S-Series sedans! I don't hesitate to invest a huge amount of money to build a high-end car! ”

For a long time, the domestic high-end car market has been occupied by foreign manufacturers, and many domestic independent brands have also tried to develop into lucrative high-end cars.

The dream is beautiful, and the reality is skinny!

The efforts of the country either make the people feel that they are grandstanding, or a lot of money is wasted, and the things that are finally created are criticized and incomplete, and maybe they will be saddled with the notoriety of plagiarism!

As for the big brother and second brother in China, they still want to have a joint venture for several more decades, and they have completely regarded themselves as the spokesperson of foreign car companies.

Lin Qiangsheng wanted to build his own high-end luxury car, and he looked at the high-end model LS400, so he was sorry for Toyota, since he even had the logo, the model was taken by the way.

There is also the need to buy a number of bankrupt factories. After making so much money in the United States, he also has to share the pressure of the United States, or Lin Qiangsheng is really afraid that the CIA will investigate him one day. Even if the Americans don't check, Lin Qiangsheng can't resist so many enthusiastic compatriots who care about the United States and love the United States!

To acquire the company, Lin Johnson & Johnson took out loans directly from banks in the United States. Since he is in the United States, a country with developed loans, of course he does not mind using American money to develop himself. And Lin Johnson will continue to borrow like crazy, taking advantage of the current monetary easing policy in the United States, before Reagan takes office, he plans to borrow more than 10 billion US dollars, which is possible under the condition that the US banking industry does not interfere with overseas institutions!

He applied for $200 million in his first loan from Citibank, and then $200 million from Bank of America, and borrowed money with his huge assets without much difficulty. Then Lin Qiangsheng began to buy bankrupt enterprises and equipment in the United States.

The computer industry in the United States has developed for more than half a century and has established a complete production system and supply and demand chain.

From sand to chips, there are many steps such as quartz raw materials, silicon ingots, wafers, lithography, etching, ion implantation, metal deposition, metal layers, interconnects, wafer testing and dicing, core packaging, grade testing, packaging and marketing, and each step contains more detailed engineering.

According to Lin Qiangsheng, China will not be able to establish a full set of chip processor manufacturing system until after the 21st century. It is still in the case of the introduction of foreign technology that the whole process of manufacturing is completed.

Here, the step of purifying and smelting quartz raw materials to silicon ingots alone is a huge system project.

Lin Johnson will take the opportunity of acquiring equipment in the United States to complete the establishment of this system project in China. Don't look at it just from sand to pure silica fume, in fact, this is a fairly large project, not simpler than a large coal mine or anything!

The rest of the silicon ingots, wafers, lithography and other projects, he didn't dare to think about it, and now these things are not something he can touch! (To be continued......)
