Chapter 196: Building a City of Science and Technology
Hearing Langdon’s words, Weili finally felt relieved.
After confirming, he was very excited. After all, Hutchison Telecom is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hutchison Whampoa Group. If Hutchison Telecom develops, the biggest winner will naturally be Hutchison Whampoa. The parent company and the boss of Sioux City.
"How to do it and how much money to invest to get him out? Mr. Langdon, please make a comprehensive plan for me. I will immediately convene a high-level meeting of the group and let the group fully support your operation! "Weili said directly.
Wei Li also wants to show his face in front of the world. If this commercial mobile phone can be developed before other technology companies in the world, then everything is possible.
"Boss, where did this information come from?" Langdon did not answer Weili's words, but asked Su Cheng full of doubts.
Wei Li has also been curious about this question for a long time, but he has never asked it.
Now that Langdon asked this question, Wei Li also looked at Su Cheng, looking forward to what kind of answer Su Cheng could give.
Of course Su Cheng would not say that this was information given by intelligent AI, only a fool would say that.
Just like the last time he gave Yang Chaoye information, this time he also planned to give a reason to prevaricate.
After all, the real reason is so fantastic that even if you say it, others may not believe it.
Even if you believe it, then Su Cheng’s secret will be exposed.
This is Su Cheng’s life-long secret that cannot be known to anyone, including the closest people.
“This information actually came from the owner of a laboratory in Silicon Valley. It was just because the laboratory eventually went bankrupt due to financial problems. He originally planned to sell the information to large companies such as Motorola and IBM. , but I accidentally found out about it, so I spent a huge amount of money to buy it from him in advance. I have investigated and found that the new technologies in it have not yet been patented, so after you get the information, you must do it as soon as possible. Help me register patents around the world, and then launch this product as soon as possible," Su Cheng said solemnly.
Langdon and Wei Li believed what Su City said, because apart from this reason, they could not think of any other channel through which Su City could obtain such precious technical information.
Moreover, it is well known that Sioux City is rich. It is unique in the world to spend tens of billions to purchase crude oil at one time.
Is it possible for such a person to spend huge sums of money to purchase technical information that has not yet been released? Of course it’s possible!
Only this reason makes sense.
"Don't worry, boss, I will supervise this matter throughout the entire process and put it at the top of the group's work tasks!" Wei Li promised.
Because at this time, he already knew what this information represented. It represented a priceless treasure that could not be developed even if hundreds of millions of dollars were spent on research and development.
As the person in charge of Hutchison Whampoa, he naturally has a forward-looking vision and knows that once this matter is done well, Hutchison Whampoa will benefit greatly.
“Although the technology is readily available, we at Hutchison Telecom are very short of talents in high-end technology, so our first task is to recruit some top technical talents so that our products can be launched as soon as possible. " Langdon was not disoriented by the good news, but replied calmly.
Hutchison Telecom is different from the Su Group. Because the Su Group has Yang Chaoye, a former IBM executive, their group can easily recruit elite talents in related fields.
Hutchison Telecom itself is not a company that focuses on R&D. Only Langdon is one of the top elites in the industry. However, he does not have as much reputation as Yang Chaoye. He wants to be like Su It is simply impossible for the group to recruit a group of elite experts like that. "There is no need to worry about the talent issue. Mr. Wei Li, please discuss with Mr. Liu from Sanyo Headhunting Company and ask them to help find industry elites who can be recruited from the beautiful country. In addition, I also asked Mr. Yang Chaoye from the Su Group to help find them. Let’s talk about talents in this field. Mr. Langdon, you must keep the technical information confidential and not let this information leak out. At present, your first task is to register patents around the world on behalf of the company, and at the same time start to build a laboratory for Be prepared when technical talents arrive!" Su Cheng said with a smile.
Although Yang Chaoye has never worked for Motorola, many technologies in the computer field and the mobile phone field are interlinked. For example, from Motorola and IBM, technical talents from the two companies often jump to each other's companies.
So, asking Yang Chaoye to help find talents in this field can make the progress faster.
"Okay, I will make an appointment with Mr. Yang tomorrow to discuss this matter. Regarding laboratory construction, on behalf of Hutchison Whampoa Group, I will fully support Hutchison Telecom. Regarding patent application, our group With professional people handling it, the patent can be applied for in mainstream countries around the world in as little as a month," Wei Li said with a nod.
Building a top laboratory is not that simple. There is no way to get a lot of equipment without certain connections and funds.
Especially for some equipment that is prohibited from being exported by the government, if you really can't get it, you can only fall back on the next best thing and find a less advanced equipment instead.
Oracle Computer Company's laboratory was quickly completed because of Yang Chaoye's connections.
Of course, Yang Chaoye can also help with the laboratory equipment. For the sake of Su Cheng, Yang Chaoye cannot refuse to help.
“I understand the confidentiality issue. I have worked at Motorola for 8 years. Every laboratory and every project team there has very high confidentiality requirements. It is basically impossible for technical information to be leaked. I'm very familiar with this area, don't worry, boss!" Langdon said confidently.
"I will also supervise the confidentiality aspect to ensure that it is foolproof. I will take the information back for safekeeping later, and wait until the patent application is applied for before making the next step!" Wei Li naturally knows this too. importance of data.
Langdon also knew that this was not a matter of trust or distrust. If this information were sold, it would be worth over 100 million US dollars, so Wei Li was worried about letting him here, but he didn't mind. Understandable.
He is just the head of a subsidiary company and can run away at any time. Not everyone can guarantee that he will not run away with information in private.
Wei Li is different. He is a well-known professional manager in Hong Kong and even Southeast Asia. He will not do this kind of thing at all.
After the patent is applied for and the laboratory is built, the subsequent confidentiality work will be much simpler.
“Anyway, I’ll leave these things to you two. In addition to the research and development of mobile phones, the establishment of cellular mobile communication systems is also very important. I hope that next year, Xiangjiang can become the world’s The first city where mobile phones are available!" Su Cheng said with a smile.
When Oracle computers are developed, and then mobile phones are developed, Xiangjiang will become a world-famous technology city.
When the time comes, there will be no need for Su City to think of solutions, and it will naturally attract countless scientific and technological talents to come to Xiangjiang.
At that time, it was much easier for his companies to produce any technological products.
