Chapter 111 Meeting

"Hello, is your name Niu Xing?" Zhou Shuo suddenly stopped in front of a young man.

This man looks extremely ugly and seems to have aging prematurely. His head is very big, making people wonder if his neck will break. But his small eyes are shining with a wise light, as if as long as he stares at you, your soul and thought will be captured by him.

"Who are you? Do we know each other?" Niu Xing took a step back and asked in confusion.

Zhou Shuo smiled happily and shook his head and said, "Sorry, Mr. Niu, we don't know each other yet. But please believe me, we will know each other. My name is Zhou Shuo, I have admired you for a long time."

Niu Xing still did not let go of his guard, looked at Zhou Shuo vigilantly, and asked, "Mr. Zhou, are you doing anything?"

"Mr. Niu just came back from the United States, right?" Zhou Shuo took out a business card from his pocket and said sincerely: "I know you are going to return to China to do the Internet, and I am also very knowledgeable about this. If Mr. Niu is interested, we can communicate. This is my contact information, please be sure to contact me."

"How do you know!" Niu Xing seemed to be a ghost. He planned to return to China to engage in the Internet industry, which only he knew. How could he expect someone to reveal it in one word? If he hadn't been a firm atheist, he would have believed that the person in front of him had a stubborn verbal slap.

"Haha, if Mr. Niu wants to know, please contact me!" Zhou Shuo waved his hand and ran away.

Only Niu Xing stood alone at the exit, with his expression as if he had seen a ghost.

Zhou Shuo ran back to Tu Anbei and Dr. Liu and apologized: "I'm so sorry, I've neglected Dr. Liu."

"What's the matter with Principal Zhou? This matter is nothing." Dr. Liu waved his hand and signaled that the matter would be revealed. He asked instead: "I wonder how the two of you are doing the preparations for Menghai Microelectronics?"

Zhou Shuo opened the car door for him and nodded, "We can start work immediately when there is a reply from the Dream Group."

Dr. Liu obviously knew a little about the inside story here and said worriedly: "What do you say about Dream Group? You can't delay it anymore, right?"

Zhou Shuo smiled and said surely: "That's right, I think they will come to the door soon."

"What, Dr. Sun Xizu resigned?" Liu Zongnan snatched the resignation letter from his secretary's hand and read it carefully. He sat back on the office chair dejectedly and sighed: "Old Tu is not taking action, but he will be dead if he takes action."

Sun Xizu is the first person in charge of the research and development of special integrated circuits in Dream Group. He is the one who uses Hanka, laser printer and other products of Dream Group, and the special integrated circuits used are all developed by him. Within the group, Sun Xizu can be regarded as a Tu Anbei. Both of them were from the Computer Institute of the Academy of Sciences and are both people who make a living by technology.

Liu Zongnan originally wanted to marginalize him slowly, but it did not mean that he wanted him to leave the Dream Group. If Tu'anbei's Menghai Microelectronics were not established, Sun Xizu would of course have nowhere to go. After all, no matter what, Dream Group is still an ideal harbor for technicians. But if you don't need it, it is definitely different from losing meaning. Losing Sun Xizu means that Dream Group has lost its research power in application-specific integrated circuits. Even if there are any opportunities in the future, they can only stare at them.

"It seems that I really have to talk to Lao Tu. It's amazing if he continues to dig like this." Liu Zongnan thought for a while and realized that there were not many technical people in the Dream Group who were not his disciples. It would be fine if he drove him out and had no place to go. Once he was asked to raise the recruiting flag, the entire Dream Group would have to have a big earthquake.

"Arranging a consultation meeting for Menghai Microelectronics is, right, it is to discuss the issue of this ten million yuan allocation."

Liu Zongnan's proposal was quickly responded by Tu Anbei, and the meeting was arranged in a conference room at the headquarters of Dream Group. Tu Anbei, Zhou Shuo and Dr. Liu and his group of three people rushed over early.

Liu Zongnan walked into the conference room with the sound of the bell, bowing with a smile, "Sorry, the group has a lot of things to do, so you have been waiting for a long time."

"Mr. Liu is polite. The time is just right, please sit down." Tu Anbei, a founding veteran of Dream Group, has some psychological advantages on this acre of three-point land. He was not fascinated by Liu Zongnan, and he responded calmly.

Liu Zongnan sat down steadily and said, "Today, I convened this meeting mainly to discuss with you about Menghai Microelectronics investment. Dream Group was entrusted by its superiors. As an investment channel and supervisor for 10 million policy funds, it must do this job well."

Liu Zongnan glanced around and looked at Zhou Shuo and asked, "By the way, who is this person? We haven't seen him yet."

Tu Anbei introduced: "This is Zhou Shuo, the new investor of Menghai Microelectronics."

Liu Zongnan's eyes shrank, but he didn't expect that such a young person was so busy. Thinking of the 60 million in the capital verification report, he couldn't help but smile: "Mr. Zhou is really different. Nowadays, few people have entered the field of technological development so much. I wonder where you are making a fortune and able to support such a large investment?"

Zhou Shuo scratched his head and smiled: "I just opened a keyboard factory. I am currently working on Microsoft's ergonomic keyboard products."

Zhou Shuo said it easily, but this sentence immediately made Liu Zongnan feel overwhelmed. The X architecture used by Microsoft's ergonomic keyboard products is said to be from the Chinese, but I didn't expect it to be the person in front of me. The ergonomic keyboard with the X architecture has always been sold as a luxury item in the keyboard with a comfortable feel, and one price is hundreds of dollars.

Based on Microsoft's shipments, Zhou Shuo's sales must be at least 12 million US dollars per year. The cost of keyboards is not high, which can be said to be an excess profit. If this is not intuitive, compared with Fantasy Group in 1994, its annual sales were 1.1 billion yuan, with a profit margin of about 14%. In other words, the annual profit is only between 100 million and 200 million. Fantasy Group, which is in the national desktop market, is just as different from the profit of tens of thousands of keyboards per month.

This is the difference between whether there is a core technology in hand.

Thinking of this, Liu Zongnan's breathing suddenly became rapid. No wonder Tu Anbei actually received such a large investment. Zhou Shuo's funds were definitely not bad compared to Dream Group. After all, Dream Group has a big business, and his plate is much smaller, so it is much easier to maintain it.

But after all, he was just a young man. Liu Zongnan thought a little bit bitterly. He actually took out 60 million to invest in industries with no hope. He was probably also inspired by the words such as national hope and industrial pillars of Tu'anbei.

"Haha, Mr. Zhou is so young and promising, which is admirable." Liu Zongnan nodded heavily and said, "Since Menghai Microelectronics has a wealthy owner like Mr. Zhou, I think that the 10 million yuan of Dream Group is not very important, right? Why not stay in Dream Group for the time being. When will Menghai Microelectronics have difficulty in operating, it will be good as emergency funds."

Liu Zongnan couldn't help but feel sorry for him. Ten million was one-tenth of Fantasy Group's profit last year. And their scientific research funds last year were just this number. If he could keep this money, he would be more confident that he would be the top in the country in terms of desktop sales.

"You can't say that, right?" Tu Anbei knocked on the table with dissatisfaction and said, "Mr. Liu, this money is covered with a hat on it. You are planning to intercept it like this, right?"

"How can this be considered intercepting?" Liu Zongnan said dissatisfied: "As long as Menghai Microelectronics has difficulty in operating, I promise to withdraw the money at any time. It is not to be used for other purposes, but to provide a layer of insurance for Menghai Microelectronics' operation!"

"Since that's the case..." Zhou Shuo reached out to stop Tu Anbei who wanted to refute, looked at Liu Zongnan and said, "I have a request. As long as President Liu agrees, I can pay the money for Dream Group."

"Oh? Mr. Zhou, please say." Liu Zongnan felt more and more that Zhou Shuo was a nasty person. In 1995, an era of inflation and fiscal tightening, what else was more valuable than funds? He paid for money, held his own shares, and could use the above funds to open up the market. It was really great.

"Patent technology." Zhou Shuo looked at Liu Zongnan's eyes and said seriously: "I remember that Dream Group has program-controlled switch technology, and has obtained a network access license with Huaxing Group at the same time. I want 10 million technology, patents and talents."

Liu Zongnan opened his mouth indecently, but he didn't expect that such bad brands would be available. In his opinion, these technologies are still far from being put on the market. Dream Group's program-controlled switch only obtained a network access license last year, and it is necessary to make a lot of investment to open the market. Moreover, domestic program-controlled technology is more than one generation away from advanced foreign products.

However, whether it is for the adjustment of strategic direction or the removal of Tu'anbei's impact on Dream Group, after Tu'anbei left Dream Group, the program-controlled switch project and technical talents he presided over must have to stand aside. If a series of technologies of program-controlled switches can be exchanged for 10 million yuan, it will definitely be a profit.

Historically, since Tu Anbei was swept out in 1995, Dream Group changed its original model of starting a technology industry and began to focus on market development. Tu Anbei's previous series of technological development paths designed for Dream Group were also put away as he left.

Liu Zongnan would certainly feel sorry for something that was about to be abandoned if it was poached for nothing. But if it could be exchanged for the most important cash for corporate development, it would be a great business.

But he was a businessman who had an old business and subconsciously hesitated for a moment. Zhou Shuo invested so much in this area, is there really any business opportunities?
