From retail to global domination

Chapter 310: Set up a mobile phone system research and development room, poaching people from Google

Zhang Yang called him lucky!

Zhang Yang originally planned to abduct more technical staff, and he expressed this idea to Mike Duncan, but there was nothing Mike Duncan could do.

Why doesn't he want to bring more teams to China?

But other technicians don't want to leave the beautiful country, which is the main problem.

It’s not that the treatment given by Huifeng is bad, it’s that they don’t want to leave!

No matter how high the treatment you give them, they won't want to leave.

Of course, Zhang Yang will not give treatment without a bottom line.

Fortunately, those who left with Mike Duncan were all elites. These people chose to go to China with Mike Duncan to try their luck.

In order to encourage these thirty people, Zhang Yang once again gave 5% of his shares to encourage everyone.

There is no other way. If you want to acquire cutting-edge technical talents, you need not only capital but also shares.

Without the temptation of this 5% share, it would be great if five of these 30 people would eventually go to China.

After the two parties signed the contract, Flarion was officially merged into Huifeng. From then on, Flarion will disappear from the stage of history, and Huifeng will enter the field of mobile communications to develop 4G networks.

That's right, develop 4g network.

He directly bypassed 3g.

After rion, they no longer need to develop 3g, rion has already mastered it.

After hearing the news, Zhang Yang was very excited.

As long as he can get photos from the three major communication providers when he returns to China, Huifeng can build 3G communication towers everywhere.

Of course, this also requires a lot of expenditure, at least hundreds of billions.

But the money can be earned back in a short period of time, so you don't have to worry about it.

He previously planned to enter the smartphone era in 2008, but it seems that it can be brought forward.

But the prerequisite is to develop a system.

You can buy chips, but System Zhang Yang plans to use his own.

It was unrealistic to develop our own chips before 2008, but it should be no problem to develop the system, right?

On this point, Zhang Yang wants to ask Mike Duncan.

Hearing the boss's inquiry, Mike Duncan was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the boss wanted to develop a system?

It was really beyond his expectation.

"Boss, I know a technology guru. This guy is one of the founders of Android. After Android was acquired by Google, he did not choose to enter. Instead, he pulled some technical staff to separate and start their own business.

Now his predicament is not too good, all the funds have been invested, but still no results, and no investment bank invested in them!" Mike Duncan sighed.

He didn't say it clearly, but anyone who wasn't stupid could guess why no investment bank followed up.

As long as Google is here, who dares to follow up?

Today, Google is at its peak all over the world and has become the world's number one Internet company. Who dares to offend it?

Even investment banks should think twice before committing.

But Zhang Yang is not afraid.

He is not in the beautiful country, so his assets are all in China.

Moreover, Zhang Yang didn't think that the other party would take action against him, he was just so confident.

Nowadays, Zhang Yang can be regarded as a figure in the world. The other party cannot fight head-on with him. In the end, no one can win.

The reality is that the weak eat the strong, the big fish eats the small fish, and the small fish eats the shrimp.

Survival of the fittest.

Hearing Mike Duncan's words, Zhang Yang just wanted to look up to the sky and smile. God help me.

It’s like someone gave me a pillow just when I was about to fall asleep.

"Mr. Mike, how is your friend doing? Are they still developing it, or have they stopped developing it?" This is very important.

No need to ask, the other party must be developing a new system. It must be due to lack of funds and no one to invest in it, so it died in the end.

really.

"No more research and development, no capital investment, we can't sustain it!" Mike Duncan sighed,

Funds and funds, without funds, everything is just a mirror and a moon in the water.

If they want to succeed, they can only rely on capital, otherwise it will be impossible to realize their dreams.

At this time, Zhang Yang was even happier.

As long as he stops, it proves that the opponent is at the end of his rope and is the right time for him to take action. Otherwise, the price he has to pay to win over the opponent is not as high as usual.

"Approximately how many people are there?" Zhang Yang asked again.

"I don't know, there should be 30 people. Even if there are more, it won't be more than a few." Mike Duncan was unsure.

"Mr. Mike, can you ask this friend of yours out? I want to talk to him." Zhang Yang looked at Mike Duncan and asked.

"No problem." After Mike Duncan finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Yang and asked, "Mr. Zhang, are you planning to invest in them or acquire them?"

We must ask clearly about this. He and Zhang Yang are now a grasshopper on the same rope, and the balance is still leaning towards Zhang Yang.

"What do you think?" Zhang Yang showed a meaningful smile.

"I know." Then Mike Duncan took out his phone and called his friend.

"Dear Mike, why did you remember to call me? Do you want to invest in me?" After the call was connected, cheerful laughter rang out from the other side.

Obviously, even if the other party is difficult, there is still no distress.

Also, in their field, there is no need to worry about anything. Even if the business fails, you can still find a stable job with high salary, and even get shares in other companies. No problem.

There are only a few masters in a field. These people are true technical masters and can independently complete technological upgrades in a field.

Obviously, Mike Duncan is, and so is the other party.

"Kennedy, stop joking. You are a bottomless pit. I can't even protect myself now. How can I invest in you?" Mike Duncan also said helplessly.

"Haha~~Old friend, you are not funny at all, you have no sense of humor."

Kennedy Ben is a master in the system field. He can independently develop and improve systems. He is a real genius.

"Okay Kennedy, I don't have your sense of humor.

I’ll introduce you to someone who is very qualified and thinks highly of you. It’s up to you whether you want to meet him or not.” Mike Duncan said casually.

He knew very well that after hearing this, Kennedy Ben would not refuse.

No matter how much this guy hates capital, he still needs the help of capital, otherwise his dreams and ideals will die prematurely. The reality is so cruel that he cannot tolerate the other party's intransigence!

really.

After hearing that he was very qualified, Kennedy Ben immediately became energetic: "Brother, are you kidding me?"

He wanted to make sure, who knew if this guy was making fun of him.

"Do you think I'm going to joke with you?" Mike Duncan asked helplessly.

"Brother, where are you? I'll be there right away." Kennedy Ben was anxious.

Yes, it's really urgent.

Don't worry, he has to find a new job, or he can go to Google.

Although it was because of the other party that he was so miserable and had no chance to realize his ideal, he had to bow his head in order to live.

If he is single, it doesn't matter. Even if he starves to death, he will not bow his head, but he has a family!

When he thinks of his wife and children, Kennedy Ben has to bow his head to reality!

Just when he was about to bow his head, he didn't expect that he would still have the opportunity to realize his ideal. There was no reason why Kennedy Ben wouldn't be excited.

"I'll wait for you at the company." Mike Duncan said nothing and directly stated his destination.

"Okay, wait for me for two hours, no, one hour." The other party hurriedly hung up the phone and left.

Before, Kennedy Ben owned not only a car but also a small villa, but since starting his own business again, all the cars and houses have been sold.

The worst thing is that we still haven’t independently developed a system with powerful performance!

His small amount of funds is like a small amount of money, and it is not enough. Unless he has the support of conglomerates like Google and Fruit, it will be difficult to succeed!

In fact, Kennedy Ben has never thought about what to do even if a powerful system is developed and no one uses it.

Android relies on Google, iOS relies on Fruit, who do they rely on?

There is no backer!

So even if it is developed, the final outcome will not be very good. This is the awesomeness of capital.

It can make you live, or it can make you die!

Today's Zhang Yang can be regarded as capital, although he himself does not admit it.

"Mr. Zhang, this person is my good friend after all. I hope you can treat me kindly!" Mike Duncan said looking at Zhang Yang beside him.

"Don't worry, I will treat him the same way I treat you." Zhang Yang gave Mike Duncan a dose of reassurance.

Zhang Yang will give 100% support to such a technical master, as long as the other party follows his lead.

His ultimate goal is not investment, so it is unclear whether the negotiation can be completed.

But the other party seems to have no other choice, right?

This is also where Zhang Yang’s confidence lies.

Since the other party has stopped researching and developing it, it proves that everything is exhausted.

An hour later, a middle-aged man in a suit came to Mike Duncan's office.

The news of rion's acquisition hasn't spread yet, so naturally he doesn't know about rion.

When Kennedy Ben came to Mike Duncan's office and saw a young man, he was very confused.

What is the situation and who is this young man?

Still Asian.

Could this be the investor that Mike Duncan talks about?

But this is too young, isn't it? Could it be the next generation of some consortium in Neon Country?

The only country with strong economic strength in Asia was Neon Country, so he naturally thought of the descendants of the consortium.

"Mike, it's been a long time. I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you getting better and better now? You've gained a lot of weight. Rion has passed the crisis." Kennedy Ban also knows a little about Rion's situation, but there are people investing in it, which makes

Kennedy Ben was very envious.

If only someone invested in him!

While greeting Mike Duncan, Kennedy Ban's eyes never left Zhang Yang.

He wanted to know if this was the investor Mike Duncan was talking about.

Perhaps knowing what Kennedy Ben was thinking, Mike Duncan shook his head and smiled: "Old friend, don't be vain. Yes, Mr. Zhang does value you."

"Have you heard of Huifeng Group? This is the boss of Huifeng Group, Zhang Yang." Mike Duncan introduced.

"Huifeng Group?" To be honest, he had never heard of it.

As for Asian companies, he only knew a few, and they were all from Neon Country.

He seems to have never heard that there is a Huifeng Group in Neon Country.

Aren’t they the four major chaebols?

Although I am a little disappointed, as long as the other party invests, no matter how much, he will accept anyone who comes.

"Mr. Kennedy, to be precise, I am interested in you, not the products you develop." Zhang Yang naturally knew that the other party had not survived the Huifeng Group, but it didn't matter, and he didn't care.

Huifeng is still somewhat famous in China, but in the beautiful country, probably not many people have heard of it.

To put it bluntly, there are probably more people who know him than those who know Huifeng Group.

Zhang Yang still has some influence around the world.

This is nothing to brag about.

"What does Mr. Zhang mean?" Kennedy Ban looked at the little Mr. Zhang with some confusion.

Since the other party is the CEO of the group, his assets should not be too low.

What is a group?

The group develops in many aspects. The company carries out a diversified business strategy and has established corresponding subsidiaries in multiple fields. In this way, the parent and subsidiary companies will form an enterprise group because of this "blood" relationship, which is quite similar to that in the military.

Group armies, these are the origins of what we often call group companies.

Therefore, a group that can be called a group has absolutely strong assets.

But what this person means is that he doesn’t want to invest in his company and is only interested in him. Are you planning to recruit him?

Kennedy Ben was a little disappointed.

Yes, disappointed.

After all the hard work, the fate of working for others was unavoidable in the end!

In this case, why doesn't he go to companies like Google, Microsoft, and Fruit?

He didn't believe that the treatment offered by this boy would be better than that of these three companies.

Perhaps seeing what Kennedy Ban was thinking, Zhang Yang smiled and said: "Mr. Kennedy, I plan to develop a system and would like to hire you as an engineer.

I will give you 20% of the shares, which is equivalent to buying your R&D results before joining the company. I will also give your team 5% of the shares as an incentive. Of course, not now. They need each person to at least serve Huifeng.

Only after ten years can you enjoy equity incentives.

As for your treatment, it will not be lower than that of big companies like Google, Microsoft, and Fruit, or even higher than them, I can guarantee this."

Give shares, and it’s still 20%.

There is nothing that can be done about this. Otherwise, how could you trick these guys into going to China to work for him?

Once these people get the shares, they will treat the company as their home.

Zhang Yang doesn't have anything to worry about. Anyway, he has no plans to go public in the future. It's hard to say whether these guys will get equity dividends in the end.

He did not promise that the company would go public, and even if it were possible, he would not go public.

Once listed, the company will no longer be under his complete control, which is not what Zhang Yang wants to see.

Well, if these guys knew what Zhang Yang was thinking, they would probably vomit blood.

Nima.

Why don't you go public and fool them?

The ultimate goal of these people is to have their company go public, which can be regarded as success and fame.

It's a pity that they met Zhang Yang, this big greedy man, how could he be allowed to share the wealth he created with others?

If it weren't for the purpose of attracting these cutting-edge technological talents, he would not have promised shares.

For example, for those professional managers, if you are willing to stay or leave, no matter how capable you are, you can still find a replacement.

But these technology giants are different. In a field, there are only a few people who can independently develop a product.

When you meet these people, you can only use shares to open the way, otherwise they will not go to your place.

As long as they want to start a business, many people will invest.

The reason why no one invests in Kennedy Class is not because everyone is not optimistic about the system field, especially mobile phone systems.

If a computer system is developed, someone may invest in it.

It's just one aspect of not wanting to offend Google. If these investment banks see the benefits, they will pounce on them like sharks smelling blood, no matter what Google does.

Are the benefits real?

No.

Nowadays, only Zhang Yang and Mr. Qiao are optimistic about the mobile phone system.

This is why no one invested in Kennedy Class.

The shares plus benefits were no less than those of Google and Microsoft, so Kennedy Ban was tempted.

He was really tempted.

In fact, what he wants most is to raise funds for publicity, but the other party blocked this road as soon as he came up. Does he have any other options?

No, so I can only agree!

"Okay, Mr. Zhang!" Kennedy Ban finally nodded.

Relatively speaking, this is the best choice, isn't it?

If he chooses to return to Google, he might not get a single cent from his shares. In that case, why not follow Zhang Yang?

If it really succeeds, 20% of the shares is not low.

Even if the financing shares are diluted, about 10% can be retained in the end.

In this case, isn't this a good choice?

"Mr. Kennedy, don't nod in a hurry." Zhang Yang looked at Kennedy with a smile on his face and continued: "I need you to take the team to China.

If you want to go, these promises are true. If you don’t want to go, you can only give up and I will contact other people.”

Kennedy Ben and his group were not the only ones developing the system, there were many more, but the skills of those people were far behind those of Kennedy Ben.

But in order to force Kennedy Ben to submit, he could only say this.

"Going to China?" Kennedy Ban was a little startled.

This was something he had never thought about. Did he not expect to go to China?

To be honest, he is a little reluctant to go to China because he has never been to China and does not understand China.

Western countries propagate that the East, especially China, is synonymous with backwardness.

He doesn't want to go to a backward country. Even if he goes to Neon, he won't be so entangled.

what to do?

Can we develop good products in China?

Kennedy Ben doesn't know.

"Kennedy, we will go to China in a few days. How about we keep company?" It was Mike Duncan's turn to speak.

Now the only thing that bothers Kennedy Ban is going to China. After learning that Mike Duncan is going to China, Kennedy Ban will most likely nod in the end.

"Are you going too?" Kennedy Ban looked at Mike Duncan with some surprise.

What's going on?

rion?

“Flarion was acquired by Mr. Zhang.

Moreover, Mr. Zhang has promised that all the technical staff who will go to China with them can bring them with them. Mr. Zhang will solve the work and school problems of the family members, so you can rest assured." Mike Duncan continued: "As for the family members' work and schooling problems, Mr. Zhang will solve them."

I believe Mr. Zhang can solve the children's education issues you are worried about.

Don't underestimate Huaxia. Huaxia also has world-famous universities, and the two universities in northern Qing Dynasty are also very famous. They are not as backward as you think.

Maybe you will fall in love with China if you go there." Mike Duncan knows more about China than Kennedy Ban.

"Really?" This time Kennedy Ben was completely undecided.

To help solve the family's work and children's schooling problems, is this big boss so kind to them?

If this is really the case, if there is anything left to hesitate about, of course I will go.

"certainly.

Mr. Mike's words also represent my attitude.

As long as Mr. Kennedy takes the team to China, these won't be a problem." Zhang Yang looked at Kennedy Class with a sure look on his face.

To attract these technology giants, some efforts are necessary.

Just as beautiful countries attract high-tech talents from China, they will also pay a high price. This is inevitable.

As for whether I can come back after going there, let’s talk about it later.

Even if Zhang Yang wants to let these guys go home, some people may not allow it.

But this has nothing to do with Zhang Yang.

It's not like he forced this guy to go to China with a gun.

"Okay." Kennedy Ban nodded excitedly, looked at Zhang Yang and said, "I will go back now to gather together and see how many people are going to China with me.

But the boss needs to be mentally prepared, it is estimated that there will not be too many people going." Kennedy Ban is not sure how many people will follow. After all, this time we are going to China, which is thousands of miles away from the beautiful country. How many people will go?

It’s hard to say whether I can accept it.

"fine.

If you don't want to go, don't force it. It won't be sweet if you force yourself to go.

Of course, if there are still talents in this field who want to go to China, you can contact us. Mr. Kennedy can contact us. We at Huifeng welcome all comers.

As long as there are talents, the more the merrier, and talents in all fields will do."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Yang turned to Mike Duncan and said: "Mr. Mike, you can do the same. As long as they are talented people, Huifeng will take them. As long as someone goes to China."

Come on, with these words, the two of them were very happy.

Are they talented people? They know a lot of people and can be contacted. If you want to go, you can do it.

Especially Kennedy Ben.

After Android was acquired by Google, many people were unhappy and contacted him, hoping to work with him.

Kennedy Ban also wanted to take everyone with him, but he was half-dead himself and could not support others, so he could only refuse.

Now the opportunity has come. As long as we go to China with him, everything will be no problem.

On the ios side, there are also many technical experts who want to come out, and he can communicate with them.

Although Google and iOS offer very high salaries, this does not affect employees’ unhappiness in the company.

There was no choice before, but now that there is a choice, I believe some people will follow.

This is an opportunity to grow.

Mike Duncan thought the same thing, and then the two started poaching people.

Kennedy's first target was Google because there were many old acquaintances here.

After a few phone calls, half of them planned to go to China with him. They were even happier when they heard about the stock incentive.

At Google, they have no stock incentives.

Then there's the fruit.

A team leader who was developing iOS was instigated by Kennedy Ban, and he switched jobs to Huifeng with a small team of five people.

These were all done secretly without letting the top management of the two companies know, otherwise it would be easy to miscarry.

Mike Duncan is not idle either, he has set his sights on Qualcomm.

Well, this guy is much more ambitious than Kennedy. Not only has he contacted talents in the research and development of mobile communications, but he has also contacted talents in the research and development of chips.

And he is also a Dana-level figure.

Although he is not responsible for chip research and development, Zhang Yang has already said that as long as he has talents, he will welcome them, no matter what.

Therefore, chip research and development talents can be regarded as Mike Duncan’s investment certificate.

I also want to please Zhang Yang.

He could see Zhang Yang's urgency and desire for technical talents.

In this case, why not help this future big boss...
