rebirth of cataclysm

"Uncle Chen, is it so difficult?" Hu Mingchen frowned and asked.

"It's more difficult than you think, because we don't have any extra funds to expand production capacity, so even if there are orders, we can't take them. We only have a fixed amount every month, and the R&D department is like a big dragon drinking water. It's a bottomless pit. Where is the company?

I still have money, let alone salary. Now I have a headache even with the travel reimbursement of the company’s business personnel.” Chen Xuesheng complained with a bitter face.

On the one hand, Chen Xuesheng is indeed a clever woman who cannot make a meal without rice. On the other hand, he also took this opportunity to complain to Hu Mingchen. He cannot continue like this, otherwise the company will not be able to survive at all. If he adjusts his strategy now, it may be too late. Eat it in one bite.

There is no such thing as becoming a fat man and choking to death.

He Xin himself also hoped to get a salary increase for his brothers below, but he also knew about the company's financial difficulties, so even if Hu Mingchen said that, he didn't say a word.

Hu Mingchensheng sighed: "I have already said what I said, and there is no way I will not honor it. Moreover, my colleagues in the R&D department are indeed working hard. So, Uncle San, how much more money can we get now?"

Since Chen Xuesheng has no money, Hu Mingchen has no choice but to pay for the project himself.

"About 70 million," Hu Jianqiang replied.

"In this way, all the 70 million will be called. In addition... Xingsheng Supermarket will suspend all expansion plans and stop them all. Let them collect 10 million next month and also get it to Pengbo Electronics.

Come on, besides... I'll go back to Mr. Luo and lend him some money." Now the project here is a top priority, so Hu Mingchen must continue to inject capital.

For this project, not only will the expansion and development of other companies be affected, Hu Mingchen knows that he has to borrow money shamelessly.

"Xiaochen, then you will invest 80 million right now." Chen Xuesheng didn't expect a word, and Hu Mingchen came forward and smashed it in.

"Uncle Chen, after spending so much money, the project has entered a critical stage. We have no choice but to make progress, otherwise, all our efforts will be wasted." After saying that, Hu Mingchen looked at He Xin again. "Manager He, you can go forward with confidence and boldness.

Go forward, just tell us what you need, and we will solve it for you. I only have one request, that is, you must come up with products that can be put on the market as soon as possible, and you must break through the technical barriers as soon as possible. If there is not enough manpower, recruit people from other companies.

Poach people, no matter what, at any cost."

"Mr. Hu, you don't need to say that we will do our best, but funds are indeed a very important gap in the future. In fact, the core of our mobile phone is not in the hardware, a lot of work is in the software part, and in

Our country itself is relatively backward in terms of software, and there are fewer outstanding talents. To find a large number of high-quality software engineers, the investment is not small. In addition, we also need to build a laboratory to test the radiation effects of products by simulating the brain.

How much damage is caused to the human body?" He Xin said bravely.

As a R&D manager, it stands to reason that He Xin only needs to focus on technology, but the current situation of the company makes him have to worry about subsequent funding supply issues.

"You tell me directly, how much money will be needed later? Whether it is building a laboratory, testing signals or testing radiation, or recruiting more manpower and solving hardware problems, that is what you care about, and what I care about is, when

We can produce products." Hu Mingchen stared at He Xin and said.

"At least...100 million, and...we don't have enough office space." Fang Guoping said hesitantly.

"It seems that you are not sure. In this case, I will prepare 150 million for you, and you can do whatever you want. As for the lack of office space, Uncle Chen, just free up your office and the offices of other administrative departments.

, this whole building will be used by their R&D department." Hu Mingchen said cheerfully and proudly.

"One hundred and fifty million? Xiaochen, where do we have so much money? It's still unknown whether they can get the 10 million from Xingsheng Supermarket you just mentioned. Besides, the 70 million you just asked me to get

, part of it is the money to repair the house, and the other part is the salary of all the company's employees in the past few months..." Hu Jianqiang rushed to speak.

"Put all that aside. This is our focus now. If I don't have any money, I'll borrow it." Hu Mingchen raised his hand to interrupt Hu Jianqiang.

Seeing Hu Mingchen's determined gamble, Chen Xuesheng had nothing to say. What's more, Hu Mingchen invested so much money on his own and didn't mention the issue of equity dilution to him.

"Then let's go to the factory and warehouse at the back and squeeze in." Chen Xuesheng said.

"Uncle Chen, just hold on for a while, and when this period of time passes, everything will be fine. Believe me, all the efforts today are worth it." Hu Mingchen comforted Chen Xuesheng, and just so rashly asked him to give his

It might be a little uncomfortable to free up the office.

"It doesn't matter to me, we are in a difficult time together."

"Well, that's good, Uncle Chen, but you can start preparing to apply for a trademark now."

"Trademark? What kind of trademark should we apply for?"

"It's called Ai Feng in Chinese, and iPeng in English. Peng is the pinyin of Peng in our company name, and this word also means a journey of thousands of miles and a big Peng spreading its wings. The meaning is quite good. i is the abbreviation of Intelligence.

Intelligence means wisdom. And the English pronunciation of iPeng is almost Aifeng. By the way, remember, if you want to register it, it must be an international trademark, both at home and abroad." Hu Mingchen said.

Regarding this trademark issue, Hu Mingchen also thought about it temporarily. He once thought about registering IPHONE, but when he thought about it, he felt that it was too despicable, so he simply gave up.

In fact, Hu Mingchen had to give up, otherwise he wouldn't be able to register it, because the trademark had already been registered by Apple.

"Mr. Hu, the English name is quite concise, but the Chinese name, Ai Feng, you said, does it mean love to the point of madness?" He Xin said.

He Xin obviously thought Ai Feng was crazy about love.

"Love to the point of madness? Love to the point of madness?" He Xin's words made Hu Mingchen couldn't help but think, "Love to the point of madness, love to the point of madness... Love to the point of madness... Well, that's good. The name you chose is better than

The name I chose is good, so I will use the name you chose. Yes, I will use it. It is a bit vulgar, but at least it shows our goal. We will make each of our products popular among consumers in a timely manner.

Love to the point of madness.”

He Xin and the others looked at each other in confusion. How could this be He Xin's fate? Wasn't it Hu Mingchen who chose the name yourself?

"Then you have to find a professional designer to design it carefully." Chen Xuesheng said.

"That is a must. It must be high-end and classy, ​​and it must have an international style. In a word, our products have been positioned for the international market from the beginning, and they are not low-end models that cost a few hundred dollars."

Hu Mingchen patted the table and said.

"Mr. Hu, I think this product is still in the research and development stage, and confidentiality must be done well. Otherwise, once the plan is leaked, I'm afraid all the previous efforts will be in vain." Wu Huaisi said, who had been silent.

After listening to Wu Huaisi's words, Hu Mingchen did not respond, but looked at He Xin and Chen Xuesheng.

"What Assistant Wu said is indeed a problem. It just so happens that after we move out several offices here, it will be easier to manage them uniformly," Chen Xuesheng said.

"I actually thought about this problem and noticed it half a year ago. All engineers in our department have signed confidentiality agreements, and I have also separated the software and hardware groups. Colleagues in the software group cannot see the products of the hardware group, and colleagues in the hardware group

You can't look at the software group's programs, and when the software group tests, they also use simulation modules. In addition, the circuit diagrams I provide to the upstream supplier are all modified.

What has been touched is not the circuit diagram we actually use. This is done to prevent upstream manufacturers from knowing that we are developing such a product... All computers used by people in the office are not allowed to be taken outside, including laptops.

, even things like USB flash drives are controlled. In short, I am already trying my best to prevent the worrying things from happening." He Xin took over the conversation.

Hu Mingchen was very pleased to hear that He Xin had taken so many measures to keep it secret. When He Xin was originally assigned to be the R&D manager, Hu Mingchen was still somewhat unsure. After all, he was young and did not have much experience.

I never thought that I would use it correctly.

"I really can't tell that you would be such a cautious person. Very good, very good. I am very satisfied. I emphasize again that everyone present today must keep this product of ours confidential after they leave this door.

, No matter it is to friends or family, no word should be leaked." Hu Mingchen solemnly emphasized after nodding and appreciating He Xin.

Everyone, including Chen Xuesheng, gave guarantees to Hu Mingchen's requirements.

"Actually, some of the measures I took were suggestions given by Assistant Hu." He Xin added.

"Assistant Hu?" Hu Mingchen hadn't turned around for a while, and Assistant Wu Huaisi was the only one on the scene.

"That's your cousin Hu Mingrong." Chen Xuesheng explained.

"Oh, it turns out it's him. Very good. Hey, why isn't he here?" Hu Mingchen woke up and looked left and right, but he didn't see Hu Mingrong.

"I arranged for him to guard at the door." Chen Xuesheng said.

Hu Mingchen nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, you have to be so careful. Okay, that's it for today. Manager He, please come up with a few more prototypes as soon as possible. Time waits for no one. For this project, I still have to do it."

We need to find someone to borrow tens of millions to make up for it, so don’t let us all down."

"Thank you for your trust. I will do my best. By the way, I also want to thank you for the salary increase on behalf of all the brothers in our team. I believe they will be more motivated when they know this news." He Xin said movedly.

He Xin had reason to be moved. He was so young, yet Hu Mingchen still trusted him and supported him. This gave him the determination to die for his confidant.

"I believe you can do it. Just try your best. We are racing against time now." Hu Mingchen pursed his lips and patted He Xin on the shoulder.
