Reborn in Hong Kong as a Tycoon

Chapter 374

On Monday, Lin Baicheng went to Yinhe Semiconductor Company.

The office rented by Yinhe Semiconductor is not far from New Century Software.

After nine o'clock in the morning, Lin Baicheng came to Yinhe Semiconductor Company with his secretary and bodyguards.

Both Ganus Wilson and Buhler Sandra were in the company by prior notice.Ganus Wilson is the director of the company's R&D department. He is mainly responsible for leading the team to develop more advanced technologies and recruiting semiconductor talents for the company.

As for Buhler Sandra, he is the manager of the company, responsible for managing the daily affairs of the company, and is the superior of Ganus Wilson. He previously worked at Fairchild Semiconductor and is not a technical talent.

Lin Baicheng, who came to Yinhe Semiconductor Company, called the company's executives to the meeting room.

"Sandra, Wilson, how is the reception at the factory going?"

Lin Baicheng asked aloud, and the factories he was talking about naturally referred to the four factories acquired from Texas Instruments.

"The factory is taking over steadily. Except for a few high-level executives who were transferred back to Texas Instruments and some people who left the factory automatically, the factory can already operate as usual."

It was Gnass Wilson who answered aloud. Buhler Sunderland only came to work at Galaxy Semiconductor after New Year’s Day. Before that, Gnass Wilson had been doing the receiving factory of the factory. familiar.

Lin Baicheng nodded, and continued to ask: "Did anything happen to the factory during the acceptance process?"

"Because of the BOSS, you gave everyone a 5% salary increase, so no one caused trouble, and everyone cooperated."

Gnass Wilson answered aloud, paused, and said, "However, everyone is a little worried about the future, and worried about whether there will be problems with the operation of the factory."

Buhler Sunderland added aloud at this time: "Boss, the factory received orders from Texas Instruments before, so there is no need to worry about sales. Although Texas Instruments has not canceled all orders, the number of orders has been greatly reduced. Although Galaxy Both Gaming and Apple Computer placed some orders for the company, but not enough to make up for the reduced order volume of Texas Instruments."

"I will lead the following employees to develop the market for the company, but the market cannot be developed in a short time. Therefore, before finding more orders, should the factory's production line be stopped first?"

After hearing this, Lin Baicheng asked, "If part of the production is stopped, will it have any impact when the company needs mass production?"

Buhler Sunderland said: "There will be a little impact on production, mainly because the reduction in production lines will cause some employees to not work and only get half of their salary. At that time, many employees will definitely choose to leave. After the factory is in full production, we can only recruit new employees, and the efficiency of new employees will definitely not be as high as that of skilled workers."

Gnass Wilson reminded: "Boss, as I said just now, the employees in the factory are a little worried about whether there will be problems with the company's operations. If some production lines are suddenly stopped, the employees will definitely think too much."

"If this is the case, then don't stop the production line."

Lin Baicheng immediately made a decision, saying: "The factory is producing as usual, and the sales department is looking for manufacturers who need it. If there are any leftovers, they will keep them for storage. Anyway, after Xinghe Game Company places an order, those products will also be used. "

Buhler Sunderland suggested: "Boss, in fact, we can reduce the price to a certain extent. After all, although the technology of the factory has not changed, but after it is no longer a Texas Instruments factory, the manufacturer must not be familiar with the company, and the company is not famous at all. No, price cuts are justified. Even if the price is only reduced by 5%, after the volume increases, it can attract a lot of customers.”

"As long as it doesn't cause a price war, then you can lower the price appropriately."

Lin Baicheng thought for a while, anyway, he hadn't thought about making money from semiconductor companies in a short period of time, so it's okay to earn less, and it's more important to have a large number of orders to make the factory's production line run at full capacity.

Buhler Sunderland said: "As long as we don't cut prices too much, it won't cause a price war. It is normal for small companies to make products cheaper than big companies."

Nodding his head, Lin Baicheng said to Ganesh Wilson: "Wilson, the task of your R&D department is not light. You must first understand Intel's storage chip technology thoroughly, and then let the factory produce more advanced storage chips. When you are done After these, you need to upgrade and develop existing technologies to develop more advanced technologies. I don’t ask you to catch up with Texas Instruments and Intel within three to five years, but you can’t fall too far behind, and you must It is possible to catch up with or even surpass those big companies.”

Hearing this, Gnass Wilson said helplessly: "Boss, the development of technology depends on a lot of experiments other than a flash of inspiration, and the amount of money that a lot of experiments need to spend is not a small amount. Besides, there is still a lot of money to be spent. Excellent talents are needed, and excellent R&D talents are a treasure in every company, and if we want them to come to our company, the salary must be higher than that offered by big companies.”

"In fact, there is only one thing to say, that is to invest a lot of money. Only with money can we recruit excellent R&D talents, only with money can we buy advanced R&D equipment, and only with money can R&D personnel continue to do experiments without worry. "

"I know all of this, and my investment in semiconductors will not be small."

Lin Baicheng nodded to express his understanding that semiconductor technology was originally created by spending money. Without a large amount of research and development funds, how could advanced technology appear.Advanced technology is not a monkey, it can jump out of the stone directly.

Buhler Sunderland said at this time: "Boss, there is not much money in the company's account at present. There is no problem in maintaining the company's daily operations, but it is beyond its capabilities to invest a lot of money in research and development."

"I know this."

Lin Baicheng nodded, and then asked: "Wilson, how much money do you think I should invest?"

"How do you say this?"

Gnass Wilson listened and said: "There are ways to use less money and less money. For the time being, recruit some people first, and slowly develop and upgrade technology. More money is of course better. Recruit more R&D personnel, especially some big players, or even Buy more advanced research and development equipment, etc. But at least the least, no matter how much we have to invest another 2000 million US dollars, otherwise it is impossible to see any results."

"Okay, I will think about how much more I will invest."

Lin Baicheng nodded slightly, this matter really needs to be carefully considered.It doesn’t make much sense to invest too little, and if you invest too much in the short term, you won’t see a return. It’s better to invest in long gold futures, and then invest in semiconductor companies when you have more returns.

Therefore, an appropriate amount is very important and requires careful consideration.
