"Me? When the general manager? Wads looked surprised, and at the same time looked at Chen Zhiwen with a little disbelief.

"This is my reservation money, as long as you agree, the money will be yours." Chen Zhiwen took out a small leather bag from behind him and handed it to Woz.

"Reservation money." Wodds took the bag, feeling that it was a little heavy, and opened the zipper to see that there were three stacks of $100 bills inside.

"What is this?" Woz, who had never seen so much money, almost dropped his eyes, but he was a smart man, and the moment he saw the money, he immediately closed the purse, and at the same time looked around cautiously, and found that no one paid attention to him, so he meowed again.

"Just like you have in mind, 30K." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.

"Be quiet, there's a little bit of security here, but be careful." Woz pulled up the zipper of his purse, felt like he was holding a fireball in his hand at the moment, and asked, "Mr. Chen, what company are you going to open?" ”

Even if HP has a position as an engineer, but because he is relatively young, his salary is only about 2,000 US dollars a month, which is not bad in the United States now, but as a traditional American, how much money is spent on how much money you have, and how much money you spend on credit cards, and the most you have around is a few thousand dollars, otherwise how can you fight for Jobs's $450 for four days and three nights?

Now that someone is suddenly given 30,000 US dollars, either they will suspect that the other party has bad intentions, or the other party is serious, considering that he does not have so much money in all his family property, the latter is more likely.

"I have a company in Hong Kong, called Midea Electronics Co., Ltd., which specializes in the production of air conditioners, refrigerators, fans, radios and other home appliances, and I saw an arcade machine in a bar some time ago, and I thought it would be a very promising business, so I wanted to set up a company in the United States that specializes in arcade machines." Chen Zhiwen said.

"Arcade?" Woz was a little embarrassed and said, "Mr. Chen, you asked me to design the motherboard and design the circuit layout, that's no problem, but I don't have any clue what kind of games to make in the arcade." ”

"What kind of game, you don't have to worry about it, you just need to be responsible for the circuit design and layout, including the follow-up production and sales, I am responsible for it, and the company in the United States can be regarded as a research and development center." Chen Zhiwen said lightly.

Hong Kong, the export of electronic products can also be ranked in the top ten, and in a few years it can enter the top three, but basically it is OEM, R & D and design, the ability is very weak, it is said that Chen Zhiwen wanted to let the United States develop frequency conversion technology, but the most basic chip layout design, the whole Hong Kong can not find suitable talents, and then can only go to Wanwan to set up a research and development center, but Wanwan may be much better than Hong Kong, but the ability is still insufficient, can only spend a high price from RB Germany to invite professional engineers, If it weren't for Chen Zhiwen's sufficient financial support, the average small family power plant would have to give up at this point.

Arcade games, although they seem simple, have higher requirements for chips, and at the same time have to control costs, so they can only come to Silicon Valley, where computer talents are currently available, to set up research centers.

Woz is a very good talent, but the development of arcade machines is not only about chip design, but also many other factors, so it takes a team to take care of it.

"R&D center?" Wads is a little entangled, although the person in front of him gives a lot of money, but he can also be said to be smooth sailing in HP, after mixing to a certain level, it is not impossible to be a middle-level, you know, in the current Silicon Valley, HP is the second ladder of the national technology company, second only to IBM, the first ladder.

"In terms of salary, I can give you $5,000 a month, and if the project tasks are completed smoothly, there will be an additional 5-10 months of salary incentives at the end of the year, and I will also rent a high-end apartment for you, and the location you choose." Chen Zhiwen continued to tempt.

In the current era, Atari or other big electronics companies that are ready to enter this market have no idea, thinking that this industry can make millions of dollars at most, at most tens of millions of dollars. Admittedly, this is already a very high profit, but I don't know that in a few years, a space invader will be able to net more than $100 million in the American market, and this is only the profit of arcades, when home game consoles are popularized, the market for game cards will be much larger than arcade machines.

The annual salary of more than 100,000 US dollars is a drop in the bucket for a game with a profit of hundreds of millions, and besides, Woz is also unknown to HP, and his value is so high that it is more than a million dollars a year.

"Mr. Chen, I hope you can prove what you said, although this leather bag is very convincing, I still need to see the official company information." Woz's unsatisfactory sentences reflect his mood, but this kind of person is just not good at expression, but he is not a fool, this kind of thing, naturally needs iron evidence.

With that, he returned the purse.

"It's okay, when my company is established, I will invite you to visit again." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said, put the bag away, stood up at the same time, and said, "I invited today's wine, you can drink it as you like, and it is free to drink it at night." ”

Signaling to a person behind him, a young man nodded and walked to the bartender in front of him, and then pointed to Woz, who was watching all this, and the bartender nodded and smiled brightly at Woz.

Wads turned around, Chen Zhiwen handed over a business card, and said, "I know how to find you, but if you want to take the initiative to find me, you can call this number, I hope we can meet again soon." ”

After speaking, Chen Zhiwen politely greeted and left, along with several middle-aged white men and an assistant An Qi who was eating chicken wings alone in other positions.

After leaving the bar, Chen Zhiwen looked at the buildings around him and said to Anqi: "Anqi, find a small three- or four-story building nearby, the location and decoration should be similar, it doesn't need to be too good or too bad, rent it all, or buy it, and use it as a branch of Midea in the United States." ”

"Just for that fat man? Are we going to invest so much? Angel asked with some curiosity.

"With or without that fat guy, I'm going to have to invest and go to Ron, who must know the agent in Los Angeles." Chen Zhiwen smiled and said, "The value of this fat man is far beyond your imagination. ”

"Okay." An Qi nodded, with an annual salary of more than 100,000 US dollars, if this is in Hong Kong, you can recruit a platoon of technicians.

"Let's go back, Costco is about to open." Chen Zhiwen said to the driver on the side.
