Chapter 1388 Hong Kong R&D Center
That night, Duan Yun invited Wang Shi, Zhao Xuewu, and Li Guoshun to have dinner together.

Since the establishment of the chip factory, Huang Lingyi has replaced Zhao Xuewu as the most important technical research and development personnel of Tianyin Group.

Moreover, as the group company began to focus on the layout of the integrated circuit industry, the R&D center of the original electronics factory has begun to have a marginalization trend. In the past year, the R&D data of the electronics factory has not developed new products, but has been optimizing the repeater learning machine. Production technology and equipment upgrades, relatively speaking, the tasks of the R&D center of the electronics factory are far less arduous than in the past.

Zhao Xuewu is still able to understand Duan Yun's intentions. He also knows that he is old and may not be able to work in the company for many years, but he is still quite dedicated. He is responsible for organizing the work process of the R&D center of the electronics factory, and at the same time began to focus on training Starting from the younger generation of technicians, and gradually completing the process of replacing the old and the new in the R&D center.

Now Zhao Xuewu has settled down in Shenzhen, including his two sons and daughter-in-law. Duan Yun has arranged jobs for them. Among them, Zhao Xuewu's eldest son has already served as the group leader of the assembly workshop in the electronics factory. The work has been excellent.

Duan Yun appointed Zhao Xuewu as the chief engineer of the Shenzhen R&D Center, mainly because he used to work in the education system. Although the education systems in Hong Kong and the Mainland are quite different, in general, Zhao Xuewu's identity and experience will help Hong Kong Cooperative liaison between branches and local universities.

As for Li Guosheng, he has been to Hong Kong several times in the past two years. Although Wang Shi does not belong to Hong Kong, he still has some understanding of the local situation. This time he was also appointed as the general manager of Tianyin Hong Kong Branch.

"We are all foreigners. It is not easy to set up a branch office in Hong Kong. You should do as the Romans do as soon as possible, set up the framework of our branch office first, and then absorb local talents as much as possible." Duan Yun looked at the wine table He glanced at Li Guosheng and Zhao Xuewu, and then said: "The most important thing for us to set up a branch in Hong Kong this time is to rely on international high-end talents to join in and develop domestic computer brands. I will hand over the relevant plans to you later, and you According to this plan, complete the team formation, and use the shortest time to get our R&D project on the right track."

"At that time, I will also send people from the Hong Kong branch to assist you both, to help you register your company and choose an office location. After arriving in Hong Kong, you just need to go to our Vanke Hong Kong branch according to the address on the business card. The person in charge is named Wang Xing , he will receive you at that time." Wang Shi said, took out two business cards from his pocket, and handed them to Zhao Xuewu and Li Guosheng.

"Thank you!"

After Zhao Xuewu and Li Guosheng took the business cards, they thanked Wang Shi.

"Another point is that after the establishment of the company, it is necessary to absorb high-end talents as much as possible. As long as they are indeed excellent talents in this industry, you should not be afraid to spend money. Talents with a monthly salary of 10 Hong Kong dollars make up your own mind, and the monthly salary of more than 10 Hong Kong dollars is required. Yes, you send me his information, if he is really excellent, we can hire him with a high salary." Duan Yun paused, and then said: "We are starting a technology company, if we are too stingy, we will not be able to succeed at all. , you must understand this."

"Understood." Li Guosheng and Zhao Xuewu nodded in response.

Hong Kong is not comparable to the mainland. The monthly salary of 1 in the mainland is unimaginable. The dean of the Chinese Academy of Design can’t get such a high salary, but it is different in Hong Kong. The starting salary of ordinary fresh university graduates is 6000~8000 Hong Kong dollars. , After one or two years of employment, the salary can reach about 12 Hong Kong dollars to 000 Hong Kong dollars, which is dozens of times the salary of ordinary college students in the mainland.

Duan Yun invests 150 million US dollars every year, which is not low. Lenovo invested 30 Hong Kong dollars to set up a branch in Hong Kong, and it made a lot of money that year.

It sounds like Lenovo spent very little money to gain a foothold in Hong Kong and made a lot of money that year, but in fact, he and Duan Yun set up a research and development center in Hong Kong are completely different things.

In April 1988, New Technology Company, Hong Kong Daoyuan Company and Hong Kong China New Technology Transfer Company each invested HK$4 to establish Hong Kong Legend Holdings Limited (referred to as "Hong Kong Legend") in Hong Kong.

One of the main reasons for new technology companies to invest and establish Hong Kong Lenovo is to enter the overseas market. At that time, China’s computer market accounted for less than 1% of the international market; the second is to take advantage of Hong Kong’s favorable international information, electronic device purchase and sale, and financing centers. Location advantage; third, the domestic policy at that time was constantly changing, and the environment was not ideal (such as high interest rates, and the control of the market was loose and tight); fourth, it wanted to produce PCs but could not get approval.As early as 1985, the technology company started information exchange and business contacts with Mr. Lu Tanping from Hong Kong, and began to explore the possibility of cooperation.

Mr. Lu Tanping is familiar with the international market, and the new technology company has strong technical strength and complementary advantages, so Hong Kong Lenovo was born in April 1988 (the registration was completed in June of that year).Hong Kong Lenovo developed rapidly. At the beginning, it mainly engaged in trade, and soon entered the motherboard manufacturing industry. In 4, it began to produce 6PC machines.

It can be said that Lenovo in Hong Kong did not engage in technology research and development in the early days. Its main business was trade. Taking advantage of Hong Kong’s location advantages, it imported computers and various parts and components to the mainland to earn a huge difference. To put it bluntly, Lenovo was just a substitute at that time. An enterprise where people work.

In addition, as a partner, the chairman of China Technology Transfer Corporation is Liu Chuanzhi's father, Mr. Liu Gushu.

Not only the huge loan of Hong Kong Legend was provided by the technology transfer company, but it also provided more than a dozen visas to and from Hong Kong for the leaders and backbones of BJ Lenovo, such as Liu Chuanzhi and Ni Guangnan.

This kind of visa was extremely rare at that time, and Lenovo Hong Kong would not have been able to do it without the scarce resources provided by this special offer.

For Liu Chuanzhi, who does not have a family background like Liu Chuanzhi, he wanted to set up a branch in Hong Kong, and to establish a large R&D center would definitely cost far more than Lenovo Group.

In addition, Duan Yun has a bigger plan, that is, if the establishment of the Hong Kong R&D center goes well, it will start to establish more product technology R&D centers overseas in the next two years, including Europe. In Britain, France and Germany, universities in these countries have very good industry-university-research systems, and each has its own emphasis on technology. The most important thing is that the current chip and PC industries are competing for hegemony between the United States and Japan. Duan Yun has established related The research and development center of the country does not conflict with the interests of the local country.

In the evening, Duan Yun talked for a long time with Wang Shi, Zhao Xuewu, and Li Guosheng. A few days later, Zhao Xuewu and Li Guosheng will go to Hong Kong to establish Tianyin Group's first technology research and development center outside mainland China.
