Manufacturing Empire in the Valley

Chapter 1051 Packard Motor Company also wants to expand production capacity

Kailinna smiled and assigned: "Xiaoqiang, you drive Miss Zhang back to school, and the others take this commercial vehicle to the Boston Hotel. I have already told the driver that he will arrange rooms for everyone when he arrives at the hotel. What do you guys think about this?"

Everyone shook their heads, Kailinna nodded with a smile, greeted everyone and then turned and opened the door of the Porsche 911. While Liu Xinwu and others were stunned, Kailinna drove the Porsche 911 away.

Niu Xiaoqiang took out the car key and opened the door of the Chevrolet, beckoning Zhang Xiaolan to get in the car.Before leaving, he warned: "Liu Xinwu, you are responsible for leading the team. No matter you encounter any problems, you can directly call my number. I will help you deal with it. Everyone, take a good rest. I will meet you at the hotel tomorrow afternoon. Arrange your further studies."

Liu Xinwu came back to his senses and nodded quickly: "Okay, Secretary Niu, don't worry, I will take care of everyone."

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded and drove away from the airport.

Liu Xinwu watched the taillights of the car gradually go away, and couldn't help but enviously said: "When I have money, I must buy a car."

Everyone has the desire to compare, not only Liu Xinwu, but also everyone else.

After muttering, Liu Xinwu called everyone to get in the car and leave.

Niu Xiaoqiang sent Zhang Xiaolan back to school first, and then returned to his residence.

Kailinna had already turned on the air conditioner and made a supper for Niu Xiaoqiang.Niu Xiaoqiang felt warm after entering the house, and a feeling of home spontaneously emerged.

The two sat opposite each other, Niu Xiaoqiang was eating supper and listening to Kailina's work report.

During the period when Niu Xiaoqiang returned to China to visit his relatives, the performance of the Hunter Company was not bad. It had successfully sold two patented technologies and helped Niu Xiaoqiang earn nearly 200 million US dollars in patent fees.

In addition, Kaur Financial Company, which is wholly owned by Hunter Company, has also turned losses into profits. During this period, it has reaped a total of more than 40 US dollars in profits.

Niu Xiaoqiang affirmed Kailina's work on the spot, and then asked: "How is the situation of Hewlett-Packard Computer Company?"

Before returning to China, Niu Xiaoqiang told Kailina to pay attention to the situation of Hewlett-Packard.This is not to say that Niu Xiaoqiang doesn't trust Whitman and Pulis, but because they don't have enough experience in business, Niu Xiaoqiang is worried that they will make low-level mistakes.

Kailina smiled and said: "HP's performance is very good. During this period of time, it has made a name for itself in the Boston area. Many private users choose to buy their products. According to my estimation, HP's turnover is absolutely It’s over $200 million, and the profit could be over $100 million.”

Hewlett-Packard does not have its own core technology. All the computers currently sold are assembled by Whitman and Priss themselves. The spare parts are purchased from computer parts manufacturers. After they are assembled, they will paste the HP brand to obtain profit.

Computers belong to the high-tech industry, and the profit margin of the high-tech industry has always been very good. Niu Xiaoqiang was quite happy when he heard this: "The 24-hour service concept implemented by HP is a very correct choice. As long as the current situation is maintained, HP The company will be able to become a medium-sized company with an asset scale of more than ten million dollars this year, and when it has money, it will be able to form its own technology research and development team."

Karina smiled and echoed: "Yes, then you can recruit your classmates to HP, and let the geniuses of MIT serve you."

Niu Xiaoqiang has considered this matter a long time ago. His classmates at MIT are all geniuses. This is a human resource that he values ​​very much. , Niu Xiaoqiang himself will not forgive himself.

Having said that, Niu Xiaoqiang also has his own worries: "The salary of a genius is very high, and people will not lower their value to work for you. I don't have much money to solve the salary problem yet, which is a problem."

"I think you can use another way to attract those top talents to serve you, and there is no need to worry about salary."

"In what way?"

"It's very simple, you can propose a partnership system like me, and give those top talents talent shares. As long as they make contributions to the company, they will take money from the profits as salary according to their dry share ratio Paying them, this model is very tempting, I believe that as long as you propose this plan, some people will be tempted."

Niu Xiaoqiang laughed and gave a thumbs up: "This is a good idea. I will implement this plan immediately when the scale of HP reaches a certain level."

Kailinna laughed a few times, and then mentioned the situation of Packard Motor Company: "I have also paid attention to the business of Packard Motor Company, and their benefits are very good. During this time, they are working at full capacity every day. Even so, it still cannot meet the huge business needs of modified cars, Xiaoqiang, should you consider expanding production capacity?"

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded: "I have considered what you said a long time ago. After I have settled the group of technicians I brought, I will immediately deal with the expansion of production capacity. In addition, I am also planning to purchase A piece of land is reserved for the future construction of a technology research and development center."

There are cheap and expensive land in the United States. Generally speaking, the closer to the city center, the more expensive the land, and the farther away from the city center, the cheaper the land.

The price of buying land depends not only on the location, but also on your use.All states in the United States are very supportive of scientific research. If you buy land for scientific research, the local government will give you additional preferential price policies and will also exempt a lot of taxes.In this regard, the United States is much better than the country.

It's not that Niu Xiaoqiang has never considered building an R&D center in China, but the reality does not allow him to do so.The biggest difficulty is that scientific research equipment cannot be purchased.

At present, Western countries have many export bans specifically aimed at China, especially in the high-tech field, which is almost a complete blockade.If Niu Xiaoqiang builds a research and development center in China, it is impossible to get the high-end equipment needed for research.

If the R&D center is built in the United States, this problem will not exist, so Niu Xiaoqiang made this helpless choice.

Kailinna is very aware of Niu Xiaoqiang's economic situation in the United States, she frowned slightly: "You still owe a huge loan of 700 million US dollars to Citibank, and now you are thinking about building a technology research and development center, isn't that right? Too eager?"
