Chapter 95 (1/2)
After investing in Softbank, Henry didn't stay long at Rb and went back to the United States. The Silicon Valley electronics group has just been established, but it is still waiting for a hundred wastes to flourish. Henry has to manage it himself.
This time, we have gathered all kinds of hardware talents in Rb. Silicon Valley electronics group has gradually become an electronics giant! Silicon Valley electronics group in the United States also recruit a large number of hardware engineers, the company only RB people, it is too shameful! The number of employees recruited in the United States is slightly less, but there are more engineers than RB. Among the talents recruited by Rb, Henry has the most skilled technicians in factories, with more than 2500. RB people work rigorously, pay attention to quality, and the most important point is that they can work overtime!
RB workers are still very good. Since they can bear hardships and stand hard work, they will be drawn to work as cattle and horses and do well for me!
When Henry returned to the United States, Silicon Valley electronics group already had nearly 6000 employees. Among them, there are 21 American engineers and 13 RB engineers. Strong R & D team!
There are four main departments, hard disk, memory, LCD, camera. There are more than 20 other departments, such as power supply, mouse, keyboard, motherboard, chassis, etc
Silicon Valley electronics group is actually enough to develop its own computer! However, Henry did not want to develop the computer so early. Limited to the hardware conditions, the development of the computer is no different from that of other computer companies. What Henry wants is to be a blockbuster!
Ultra thin, ultra fast, powerful operating system, as soon as it came into the market, all people were shocked. In this way, we can set up the corporate image of the Silicon Valley electronics group on a large scale!!!
If we start with a computer that is not very different from ordinary computers, people's cognition and first impression will unconsciously divide Silicon Valley electronics group to this ordinary level!
Therefore, the main task of Silicon Valley electronics group is to engage in R & D and sell parts by the way.
However, for some innovative products, Silicon Valley electronics group can do it first and apply for patents... Such as MP3.
Mp3 voice format has just appeared, but it is not popular now! But Henry knows how hot MP3 will be in the future! Just a few years ago, the MP3 standard was formulated in 1995. With the rapid development of the Internet and Henry's help, MP3 standards may soon be formulated!
The idea of MP3 player is very simple, that is to combine text, image and MP3.
In 1997, a small company made an MP3 product, which was put on display at the science and technology exhibition. At that time, it was very popular, and the small company thought that it was going to make it. As a result, the world's major companies are shamelessly plagiarizing together.
The small company didn't apply for the patent and had no money to file a lawsuit. In the end, it could only cry out what to do!
But Henry must apply for a patent to make an MP3 player. If anyone dares to plagiarize, he will only give up until he has underwear left!
But now the most difficult point of MP3 is flash memory!
Flash memory is not big enough to store a lot of music, which is very painful. But it doesn't prevent Silicon Valley electronics group from making things first and then applying for patents! At the same time, increase research and development efforts on flash memory!
Hitachi's NAND flash is currently the most popular. Henry has recruited many people from Hitachi, IBM, Toshiba and Intel. The R & D team is no worse than other companies. In order to launch MP3, Henry is willing to spend a lot of money to support R & D. his investment in flash memory will be much higher than that of other companies!!!
Henry still has more than 13 billion yuan left in Rb, of which he injected $10 billion into Silicon Valley electronics group and $2 billion into Williams bank. Most of the remaining money was distributed to the companies that raised funds at the beginning, and Henry took $400 million into his own pocket! To make money in the Soviet Union, Henry is going to set up the White Wolf empty handed.
In fact, many companies or institutions are doing it!
