No regrets ninety-two

Chapter 841 Inserting a Knife into the Enemy's Heart
Because of Wu Xiaozheng's words, Ni Guangnan began to miss Wang An's computer.

It was impossible for him not to miss it.

Although Wang An Computer has little to do with PCs, the minicomputers and word processors it is good at are also a kind of computer, right?
In this regard, many technologies are interlinked.

Also, the scientific research level of Wang An Computer back then was comparable to that of IBM. How could its scientific research talent Ni Guangnan not be tempted?
In addition, since it is selling assets, what about its production plants and those advanced production equipment?

If possible, Ni Guangnan really wanted to take over Wang An's phone call.

Of course, that's very unrealistic.

He asked first: "Do you know the specific asset disposal direction and restructuring plan of Wang An Computer?"

In the United States, bankruptcy protection is a very special way.

Bankruptcy protection means that regardless of whether the debtor is solvent or not, when the debtor voluntarily submits to the court or the creditor compulsorily submits an application for bankruptcy reorganization to the court, the debtor must propose a bankruptcy reorganization plan, with regard to the debt repayment period, method and possible derogation of certain creditors and debtors. arrangements for the interests of shareholders.

This is different from "bankruptcy" in the usual sense.

Bankruptcy refers to bankruptcy liquidation, which means liquidating assets and closing the door to pay off debts.

The bankruptcy protection is similar to the "airbag" in the event of a traffic accident, which can play a buffer role.

During bankruptcy protection, creditors cannot force repayment of debts.

The bankrupt company, also known as the "debtor", can still operate as usual, the company's management continues to be responsible for the company's daily business, and its stocks and bonds continue to be traded in the market, but all major business decisions of the company must be approved by a bankruptcy court. File a report with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

During bankruptcy protection, companies that file for bankruptcy protection can reintegrate assets and divest bad assets, so that the company can get back on track and even become stronger than before.

However, if the reorganization of the company that applied for bankruptcy protection fails, it will eventually be liquidated.

Therefore, for Wang An Computer, which is in the period of bankruptcy protection, the most important thing now is to lay off employees and divest non-performing assets.

This is what Ni Guangnan aimed at.

In this regard, Wu Xiaozheng still knows something.

In the previous life, the rise and fall of Wang An Computer was a classic case in the business field.

And from Chu Geyao's mouth, Wu Xiaozheng got some more information.

If he remembers correctly, by September to October this year, Wang An Computer will have successfully rectified and successfully escaped the protection of the bankruptcy law, and it is time to sue for a comeback.

After that, it waned but managed to survive and was sold to the Dutch telecommunications company Getronics in 1999 for a decent sum.

"I heard that during this rectification process, Wang An Computer will only keep the software department that can continue to make profits, and all outdated hardware production will be cut off, and a large number of employees will also be laid off."

Ni Guangnan was overjoyed.

His weed is my treasure.

For Wang An Computer, outdated minicomputers, word processors and other production factories have become its burden, so it can only be sold and disposed of.

In Ni Guangnan's view, it is not the equipment and factories that are outdated, but the products designed by Wang An Computer. Some of the equipment is placed in relatively backward China, and with a little modification, it will become the most advanced production equipment.

Grandview's upcoming technology research and development center, in order to realize some of its products, must have its own core production plant, such as program-controlled switches, and future chips.

Therefore, he thought that if he went to Wang An Computer's factories that were about to be eliminated, he might be able to turn waste into treasure.

"Oh, it's a pity that those hardware R&D talents are gone!"

Ni Guangnan sighed.

Compared with equipment, talents are more valuable.

You know, Wang An Computer is comparable to IBM in terms of research and development capabilities. Its magnetic core memory, automatic typewriter, paper hole recorder, wireless typewriter and a large number of computer-related equipment were once ahead of the times.

Now if Wang An Computer wants to cut off the hardware part, the first thing to cut off is the hardware talents, including R&D personnel and production personnel.

It's really a pity for these R&D personnel. It is really difficult for Zhengjia R&D Center to recruit them.

The reason for this, on the one hand, is the geographical issue, and on the other hand, it is the technological blockade imposed by the United States on China.

If a Chinese research and development center goes to Wang An Computer to receive a large number of technical talents, it may lead to obstruction by the US government.

"This is not easy, just go to the United States and set up a research and development center."

Wu Xiaozheng said lightly.

Ni Guangnan: "..."

Did you burn it with money?

But he had to admit that it was indeed a good solution.

Moreover, from this point, he also saw Wu Xiaozheng's determination to invest in technology.

"Are you really willing to spend such a large investment to build a research and development center in the United States?"

"There's nothing to be reluctant about. Wu's company is already ready to expand its business to the United States to earn dollars."

Wu Xiaozheng talked about some things about his trip to New York.

There is really nothing wrong with going to the United States to build a R&D center.

Compared with China, R&D centers in the United States only have higher labor costs.

But for these high-end talents, compared with the future research results, this cost investment is very cost-effective.

Ni Guangnan was overjoyed.

He also put forward his own suggestion: "This is a good way, but we have to be a bit more secretive in terms of the mode of operation. It is best not to reveal that the investment comes from China."

This is still considered from the perspective of technical barriers.

If you go to the United States to set up a research and development center with great fanfare as a Chinese capital, it will still attract the attention of the U.S. government, which will cause unnecessary trouble.

"Okay, what kind of operation method, you come up with a feasible plan."

Wu Xiaozheng began to enter the role of the boss.

This is the difference between him and Liu Chuanzhi in treating Ni Guangnan.

When Liu Chuanzhi needed Ni Guangnan, he made him a god. Once he was no longer needed, or his authority was threatened, he would...

Wu Xiaozheng is different. Although he also talks about feelings, he always follows the proper rules of the game when dealing with things.

"No problem, I'll think about it."

Ni Guangnan readily agreed.

This may involve his "Chinese chip" dream, no matter how hard or tiring he thinks it is worth it.

"Okay, it's time for you to have a good talk with Lao Liu. My personal suggestion is to have a good talk. Even if it's a breakup, there's no need to make a fuss. Goodbye is still a friend."

Wu Xiaozheng concluded the conversation.

Now Ni Guangnan's mood has obviously improved.

Next, it's time to relax and let him have a good meal.
