Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 1454
"That's great!"

Duan Yun originally thought that inviting Hu Zhengming to join would take a lot of twists and turns, but what he never expected was that Hu Zhengming agreed to join his company soon after the visit was over.

In fact, what Duan Yun didn't realize was how eager and curious a top expert is for a top technology, especially USB, a new technology that can change the entire Internet pattern, is so attractive to him .

Another point is that Hu Zhengming discovered through this visit that Duan Yun's chip factory is much stronger than he imagined, both in terms of scale and technology, and far stronger than other integrated circuit companies in the mainland.

What is more important is that Duan Yun did not force Hu Zhengming to be the general manager of the company, but provided him with the position of technical consultant. From this point of view, he is completely acceptable for American colleges and universities to resign.

"I may not be able to go back to China often, and I can only come to the mainland when the school is on holiday..." Hu Zhengming said.

"I fully understand this. You are a well-known professor in the United States now, and you are usually very busy with your work. As a consultant for our company, you don't need to come to work every day." Duan Yun smiled slightly, and then said: "Just like They have discussed before that you will be our company’s technical consultant, and I will give you an annual salary of 100 million US dollars. After we sign the relevant labor service and confidentiality contracts, you can take away all the technical materials from our R&D center.”

Core technical information is the foundation of a technology company. The reason why Duan Yun dared to say such a thing was because he already had a backup.

Because it is the first time to deal with Hu Zhengming, on the surface, this character is still good, he was also born in BJ in his early years, and he has also paid close attention to the development of the microelectronics industry in the Mainland these years, but he is an American after all, so from From this point of view, Duan Yun still needs a place.

In fact, almost all the core technical data in the company are stored in the computer at Duan Yun's home, and they have been backed up and encrypted layer by layer. Even Huang Lingyi and Jiang Mingwei, the core backbones of the R&D center, can only get Others can only access the core technical information of their respective departments, so even if a key engineer leaks the secret, it is impossible for them to get all the technical information of the company.

In addition, Duan Yun’s technical products have already applied for international patents in the first time. Duan Yun’s patent awareness is still very strong. Although domestic patent laws are sometimes useless, in developed countries such as Europe, America and Japan, the protection of patents is still Very strict, so from these points, Duan Yun is not worried that Hu Zhengming will leak the company's secrets in the future.

"That's great!" Hearing this, Hu Zhengming had a satisfied smile on his face.

Later, Hu Zhengming followed Duan Yun and his wife to visit the electronics factory and video recorder factory of their group company with great interest. Especially after seeing the learning machine designed by Hu Zhengming, he was full of praise, thinking that this kind of thing It is very helpful to the education of the people. Not only can students use it for learning, but adults can also use this machine to learn about computers. It is a very valuable product.

But in fact, the main reason why the Tianyin brand learning machine sells well in China is because of its game function. People in China generally buy it as a game machine. As for the learning function, it is simply useless in the eyes of many people. Function.

This also shows that Hu Zhengming is really not very good at business management, and he can't see the real commercial value of some products, so Duan Yun arranged for him to be a technical consultant, which is actually a very suitable thing.

That night, Duan Yun took Hu Zhengming to his villa and entertained him with a feast.

Hu Zhengming himself is usually a very quiet person, with a stable temperament and taciturnity. However, when it comes to technical matters, Hu Zhengming is like a completely different person. After drinking a glass of red wine, Hu Zhengming talked more happily, and explained to Duan Yun in detail the development of the microelectronics industry in the United States and the world in recent years, as well as some revolutionary technologies, showing his deep understanding of the development of the world's microelectronics industry technology. Has a very detailed and in-depth understanding.

"Professor Hu, I also agree with you very much. If a technology company wants to grow and become invincible, it really needs to learn from others and adopt a more open attitude to attract elite talents." At this time, Duan Yun heard Hu Zhengming talk about After coming to the United States to attract talents, he immediately interjected, only to hear him continue: "Now our Tianyin Group has set up a branch in Hong Kong, and jointly established a laboratory with the Hong Kong National Advanced Institute of Technology. The first step for the group company to attract outstanding overseas talents, next we plan to establish R&D centers in Europe and the United States, and cooperate with local colleges and universities to establish a global R&D matrix..."

"It's good that you have this idea!" Hu Zhengming nodded approvingly, only to hear him continue: "The establishment of R&D centers with foreign universities is a model commonly adopted by many multinational companies. Universities in the United States and the United Kingdom attach great importance to hands-on ability. , not only the academic level is high, but also the original ability of the students is stronger, and the cooperation model between universities and enterprises is very mature, which is very suitable for establishing a research and development center..."

"Professor Hu, let me tell you the truth. I invite you to join our group company. I just hope to use your connections and influence in the industry to establish technology research and development centers in the United States and Europe." Duan Yun pondered for a while, and then said : "I plan to invest 2000 million U.S. dollars overseas every year for the research and development of microelectronic chips and Internet technology. Do you think this money is enough?"

"2 million US dollars... I'm afraid it's not enough..." Hu Zhengming thought for a while and said with a slight frown.

"2 million US dollars is not enough?" Cheng Qingyan, who was next to Duan Yun, couldn't help saying in surprise when she saw this.

2000 million US dollars is equivalent to more than 3 million RMB. In Cheng Qingyan's view, this is already a very large sum of money. You must know that the annual investment of Tianyin Group's technology research and development center is 4 to [-] million RMB. I can't figure out why Hu Zhengming thinks so much money is too little.

"Then how much do you think you should invest?" Contrary to his wife's reaction, Duan Yun's eyes lit up when he heard Hu Zhengming's words, and he asked repeatedly.

Because in Duan Yun's view, Hu Zhengming said so, which means that he has some understanding of the establishment of overseas R&D centers, and he is not a layman who doesn't understand anything.
