Chapter 111: Meetings

"Hello, may I ask if your name is Niu Xing?" Zhou Shuo abruptly stopped in front of a young man.

This man was extremely ugly, and he seemed to be decrepit before he grew old. The head is so large that it makes people wonder if the neck will be broken because of it. But the little eyes shine with wisdom, as if just staring at you, your soul and mind will be captured by him.

"Who are you? Do we know each other? Niu Xing took a step back and asked in confusion.

Zhou Shuo laughed happily, shook his head and said, "I'm sorry Mr. Niu, we don't know each other yet." Trust me, though, we'll get to know each other. My name is Zhou Shuo, and I've admired you for a long time. ”

Niu Xing still didn't let down his guard, looked at Zhou Shuo vigilantly, and asked, "Mr. Zhou, do you have anything to do?" ”

"Mr. Niu, this is just back from the United States, right?" Zhou Shuo took out a business card from his pocket and said sincerely: "I know that you are going to return to China to do the Internet, and I am also very good at studying this aspect." If Mr. Niu is interested, we can talk about it. Here is my contact information, please be sure to contact me. ”

"How do you know the way!" Niu Xing seemed to have seen a ghost, he planned to return to China to engage in the Internet industry, and it was something that only he knew about the Dao, how could he have thought that someone would break it with a word. If he weren't for the staunch atheist, I'm afraid he would have to believe that the person in front of him was an iron-mouthed Zhou Banxian.

"Hehe, if Mr. Niu wants to know about Lu Dao, contact me!" Zhou Shuo waved his hand and ran away.

Only Niu Xing was left standing alone at the exit of the station, his expression as if he had seen a ghost.

Zhou Shuo ran back to Tu Anbei and Dr. Liu, and apologized: "I'm really sorry to snub Dr. Liu." ”

"Principal Zhou, this is nothing." Dr. Liu waved his hand and motioned for the matter to be revealed. Instead, he asked: "Regarding the preparation of Menghai Microelectronics, I don't know how the two of you are going?" ”

Zhou Shuo opened the car door for him, nodded and said, "Just wait for the Dream Group to have a reply, and we will be able to work immediately." ”

Dr. Liu obviously knew a little about the inside story here, and said worriedly: "What does the Dream Group say, it can't be delayed any longer, right?" ”

Zhou Shuo smiled and affirmed: "That's right, I think they will definitely come to the door soon." ”

"What, Dr. Sun Xizu resigned?" Liu Zongnan snatched the resignation letter from the secretary's hand and read it carefully. Sitting back on the office chair dejectedly, he sighed: "Lao Tu is just going to kill if he doesn't make a move." ”

Sun Xizu is the first person in charge of the research and development of application-specific integrated circuits in the Dream Group. Dream Group's Hanka, laser printers and other products, the use of special integrated circuits are all developed by him. Within the group, Sun Xizu can be regarded as a person from Tu Anbei. Both of them were born in the Institute of Computer Science of the Academy of Sciences, and they are both people who eat with their skills.

Liu Zongnan wanted to slowly marginalize him, but that didn't mean that he wanted him to leave the Dream Group. If Tu Anbei's Menghai Microelectronics had not been established, Sun Xizu would of course have nowhere to go. After all, no matter what, Dream Group is still an ideal harbor for technicians. But no, it's not the same as losing meaning. The loss of Sun Xizu also means that Dream Group has lost its research strength in application-specific integrated circuits. Even if there is any chance in the future, they can only stare dryly.

"It seems that he really wants to talk to Lao Tu, he digs like this, but it's amazing." Liu Zongnan thought about it, and realized that there were few people in this dream group who were not his apprentices. Kick him out of the city, and if he has nowhere to go, forget it. Once he is allowed to erect the recruitment flag, the entire Dream Group will have to have a major earthquake.

"Arrange a consultation meeting of Menghai Microelectronics, well, let's just say that it is to discuss the matter of this 10 million allocation."

Liu Zongnan's proposal was quickly responded to by Tu Anbei, and the meeting was arranged in a conference room at the headquarters of the Dream Group. Tu Anbei, Zhou Shuo and Dr. Liu and their entourage rushed over early.

Liu Zongnan pinched the time and stepped on the bell to walk into the conference room. He smiled and said, "I'm sorry, there are a lot of things in the group, so I've been waiting for you for a long time." ”

"Mr. Liu is polite, the time is just right, please take a seat." Tu Anbei is the founding father of the Dream Group, and he still has a bit of a psychological advantage in this one-third of an acre, and he is not provoked by Liu Zongnan, and he responds calmly.

Liu Zongnan was silent, sat down steadily, and said: "The main reason for convening this meeting today is to discuss with you about the investment of Menghai Microelectronics. Dream Group is entrusted by the superiors, as the investment channel and regulator of 10 million policy funds, it must do a good job in this work. ”

Liu Zongnan's eyes swept around, looked at Zhou Shuo and asked, "By the way, who is this?" We don't think we've seen it yet. ”

Tu Anbei introduced: "This is Zhou Shuo, the new investor of Menghai Microelectronics. ”

Liu Zongnan's eyes shrank, he didn't expect that it was such a young person who made him scramble, thinking of the 60 million on the capital verification report, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Mr. Zhou is really different, and now there are very few people who will enter the field of technology development in such a big way." I don't know where you made your fortune and were able to support such a large investment? ”

Zhou Shuo scratched his head and said with a smile: "I just opened a keyboard factory, and I am currently making Microsoft's ergonomic keyboard products." ”

Zhou Shuo said it easily, but this sentence immediately made Liu Zongnan's heart turn upside down. Microsoft's ergonomic keyboard products use the X architecture is said to be from the hands of the Chinese, but I didn't expect it to be the person in front of me. The ergonomic X-architecture keyboard has long been sold as a luxury item among keyboards for its comfortable feel, costing hundreds of dollars for a single one.

Based on Microsoft's shipments, Zhou Shuo's sales will be more than $12 million a year, to say the least. The cost of this thing is not high, and it can be said to be a super profit. If this is not intuitive, in 1994 Dream Group as a comparison, its annual sales were 1.1 billion yuan, and the profit margin was about 14%. That is to say, the annual profit is between one or two hundred million, and the dream group of the national desktop market is only the difference between the profit of tens of thousands of keyboards per month.

This is the difference between having a core technique in your hand or not.

Thinking of this, Liu Zongnan's breathing suddenly became short. No wonder Tu Anbei actually got such a large investment, and the funds in Zhou Shuo's hands are definitely not bad compared to Dream Group. After all, the Dream Group has a big business, and his plate is much smaller, so it is much easier to maintain.

But after all, it's just a young man, Liu Zongnan thought with some pantothenic acid. actually took out 60 million yuan to invest in industries that have no hope at all, I am afraid that it was also provoked by words such as national hope and industrial pillar in Tu Anbei.

"Hehe, Mr. Zhou is really young and promising, which is admirable." Liu Zongnan nodded heavily and said, "Since Menghai Microelectronics has a big fortune like Mr. Zhou to join, I don't think the 10 million of Dream Group is very important, right?" It is better to temporarily exist on the side of Dream Group, and when Menghai Microelectronics is in difficulty, it is not bad as an emergency fund. ”

I can't help Liu Zongnan not feel distressed, 10 million is a small tenth of the profit of Dream Group last year. And their scientific research funding last year is only this number. If he can keep this money, he will be more sure to sit on the throne of the number one desktop sales in the country.

"You can't say that, can you?" Tu Anbei knocked on the table dissatisfiedly and said, "Mr. Liu, this money is from a hat on it, so you plan to keep it like this, can't you say it?" ”

"How can this be considered an interception?" Liu Zongnan said dissatisfiedly: "As long as Menghai Microelectronics is in difficulty, I promise that I can withdraw this money at any time." It's not for other purposes, but to give Menghai Microelectronics a layer of insurance! ”

"Since that's the case...... Zhou Shuo stretched out his hand to stop Tu Anbei, who wanted to refute, looked at Liu Zongnan and said: "I have a request, as long as Mr. Liu agrees, the money of the Dream Group can be paid by me." ”

"Oh? Mr. Zhou, please speak. Liu Zongnan felt more and more that Zhou Shuo was a stunned young man. In 1995, an era of inflation and fiscal austerity, what could be more valuable than money? It is really good that he contributes money, owns the shares, and can also use the above appropriations to develop the market.

"Patented technology." Zhou Shuo looked at Liu Zongnan's eyes and said seriously: "I remember that Dream Group has program-controlled switch technology, and it has obtained a network access license at the same time as Huaxing Group. Technology, patents and talents, I want 10 million. ”

Liu Zongnan's mouth opened indecently, he didn't expect that such a bad hand would have a family. In his opinion, these techniques are still far from being able to be put on the market. Dream Group's program-controlled switch only obtained the network access license last year, and if you want to open the market, you have to make a very large investment. Moreover, the domestic program-controlled technology is more than one generation behind the advanced products of foreign countries.

However, whether it is for the adjustment of strategic direction or the impact of clearing Tu Anbei on the Dream Group. After Tu Anbei left the Dream Group, the program-controlled switch project and technical talents he presided over and developed were bound to stand aside. If you can use a series of skills of program-controlled switches in exchange for 10 million funds, it is definitely earned.

Historically, since Tu Anbei was swept away in 1995, Dream Group has changed the original model of starting with technology and technology, and has begun to focus on the market. Tu Anbei's previous path to the development of a series of techniques for the Dream Group was also shelved with his departure.

For the things that were supposed to be abandoned, if they were poached by someone in vain, Liu Zongnan would of course feel distressed. But if you can get the most important cash for your business, it's a great business.

However, he was an old businessman after all, and subconsciously hesitated. Zhou Shuo has invested so much money in this area, is there really any business opportunity here?

Zhou Shuo observed the words and looks, and knew that it was time to use the hole cards, and then gave Tu Anbei a look.
