Hong Kong Giant Owl: Rebirth

Chapter 878 The Gathering of Elites
In the evening, Qin Haoran received a call from Robert Noyce. Noyce said that he had preliminarily persuaded Sanders and Spock to join the company Qin Haoran invested in, but they also wanted to meet Qin Haoran, the boss. Well, if Qin Haoran is also a person like Fairchild, they will not accompany him.

Neuss asked Qin Haoran to meet tomorrow, and Qin Haoran readily agreed.

Qin Haoran is also very satisfied with this result. Noyce, Sanders, Spock, and Moore, the first members of the "Fairchild Semiconductor Company", are all rare talents, especially It is Noyce and Sanders, both of whom are high-level professionals in their own right.

The next day, Qin Haoran was waiting for Noyce and the others in a meeting room in the Carlton Hotel.

When the two parties agreed on ten o'clock, Noyce and the others arrived as scheduled.Among the four of them, Noyce is the oldest one, and the others are all around 30 years old, but one of them looks older than Noyce. According to Noyce, this one looks older Instead, it was Sanders, the founder of "AMD" in the original history.

Both Spock and Moore have a gentle image, which is the temperament accumulated after years of research.

"Several, please sit down, please sit down." Qin Haoran enthusiastically asked them to sit down.

Qin Haoran knows that the value of the four people he is facing at this time can almost equal half of Silicon Valley.

It was the first time for the three of Sanders to meet Qin Haoran, so they were more reserved. Moreover, because they had little contact with the Chinese and did not understand the customs and styles of the Chinese, they did not dare to speak casually, so as not to arouse Qin Haoran's dislike.

But at the same time, as high-end intellectuals, they also have a kind of pride in their bones, which is similar to the taste of "everything is inferior, only reading is high" in traditional Chinese culture.

At this time, Noyce said to Qin Haoran: "Mr. Qin, I'm sorry, Blair and the others have settled down outside now, and they don't want to participate in this new company with us, so now it's just us There are four of us."

As soon as Noyce finished speaking, Sanders raised his hand to say "stop", and then said to Qin Haoran: "Sorry, Mr. Qin, I think what Noyce said is a bit inappropriate, we are not 100% right now. Definitely join this new company.”

Qin Haoran looked at Sanders, with kindness and questioning in his eyes, and motioned for Sanders to continue.

"From Noyce, we already know that Mr. Qin, you are willing to invest 1000 million US dollars to start a new company for us." Sanders said: "However, to be honest, 1000 million US dollars is a lot of money. , but compared to the current scale of 'Fairy Boy', there is still a gap. If it is only for the salary, it would be better for us to stay here in 'Fairy Boy'."

Qin Haoran smiled and said: "I think I understand what you mean, Sanders. In terms of the scale of funds, my side is indeed inferior to 'Fairy Boy', and if you leave 'Fairy Boy', it will be equal to all of you. Everything has to start from scratch. If my advantage is not enough to make you give up your existing achievements, you will not agree to partner with me, right?"

Sanders nodded and said, "That's it."

Looking at Sanders, Qin Haoran began to describe this person's character in his heart.Sanders possesses the kind of rigor and calmness possessed by scholars. He will not be easily blinded or confused by the factors in front of him, nor will he make rash decisions. He will go through repeated verification or Confirmation will make a decision.

It can be said that Sanders is a person who pursues order and rules, but at the same time, Sanders is also a person who does not like to be restrained. He longs for freedom and does not want to be controlled by others.

"Sanders, let's talk about why you left Fairchild first." Qin Haoran said with a smile: "That fellow Fairchild just regards you as a research and development tool, a tool to make money. , you helped 'Fairchild Semiconductor' make money, and he immediately transferred the money to his other companies, completely ignoring your research and development. You hope to be able to do your own research freely, and hope you like it Your research work can be greatly developed, but at Fairchild, your aspirations are limited."

After a pause, Qin Haoran continued: "On the other hand, your efforts are not getting what you deserve. The current 'Fairchild Semiconductor Company' should have an annual profit of 2000 million U.S. dollars, but Fairchild gave you Your salaries plus stock dividends are only about 30 to [-] US dollars per person, which is too unfair to you.”

When Qin Haoran spoke, Sanders, Spock, and Moore all showed aggrieved expressions on their faces, and it was obvious that Qin Haoran had hit their point of view.

"Then I invested in this new company. I only need 50.00% of the shares, and you can freely distribute the rest of the shares." Qin Haoran said: "That is to say, out of the 1000 million US dollars I invested in the early stage, the four of you jointly own it. In addition, as long as the company's development needs, I will continue to invest more in the future."

Sanders and the others nodded. They had already known Qin Haoran's promises from Noyce.

I heard Qin Haoran say again: "In addition, I will not interfere in any way with the company's research projects, and you have absolute freedom. Of course, I will still give you some suggestions or opinions, and you have also adopted them yourself. right or not."

Then, Qin Haoran promised Sanders and the others that the profits earned by this new company, Qin Haoran will first take the company's development needs as a premise, and only use it to other places after meeting the company's development needs , with their prior consent.

Listening to Qin Haoran's various promises, Sanders and the others gradually let go of their doubts.And Spock, who has been silent all this time, also said at this time: "Mr. Qin, these promises of yours must be clearly listed in our cooperation contract and form a formal contract document."

"No problem." Qin Haoran nodded and agreed without hesitation.

After hearing Qin Haoran's words, Sanders, Spock, and Moore all smiled.After all, Qin Haoran's conditions are indeed much more generous than those of other companies or bosses.Moreover, Noyce and the others are also involved in this newly established company, and they are also the owners of this company.

This brings them enough sense of belonging and enthusiasm, and they are no longer ordinary company employees.

"Mr. Qin, when will your investment funds be available?" Sanders asked.

Qin Haoran smiled and said, "Within half a month."

"Well, Mr. Qin, when your funds are transferred to our designated account, we will submit a resignation letter to Fairchild." Saunders said with a smile.

Qin Haoran has no objection to Sanders' caution, and he is not afraid that Noyce and the others will flee with money. Even if this happens, Qin Haoran has a way to catch them back.

Qin Haoran said: "By the way, since I am not an American, I will arrange for a friend of mine to register this company. The one who holds 50.00% of my shares is also my friend. I hope you don't mind."

Noyce smiled and said, "Of course not, Mr. Qin."

They naturally didn't know that the friend Qin Haoran mentioned was actually Qin Haoran's puppet.

Moore looked at Qin Haoran and asked, "Mr. Qin, I want to ask, why do you give us such good conditions? Are you really so confident in us?"

"Yes, I have done some research on the situation of 'Fairchild Semiconductor'." Qin Haoran said: "I found that 'Fairchild Semiconductor' is currently the semiconductor manufacturer with the highest technology level in the United States, and 'Fairchild' The key to having such high technology is you."

Qin Haoran's words made Noyce and the others very useful, and Qin Haoran continued: "And I think the microelectronics technology industry will have an excellent prospect, and it will definitely become the mainstream industry in the world in the future. .”

"Mr. Qin, Noyce said you described an 'information age', do you think we can really promote or even create this era?" Moore stared at Qin Haoran and said.

From Noyce's mouth, Spock and the others learned of the "information age" described by Qin Haoran, and they were also full of longing for such an era.

I saw Qin Haoran nodded, and said in a decisive tone: "It will definitely, as long as we are willing to work hard for this dream, this era will definitely come! I don't know if you have discovered a phenomenon, every new Memory chips contain roughly twice the capacity of their predecessors, each produced within eighteen to twenty-four months of the previous chip. If this trend continues, computing power will grow exponentially with respect to time periods rise."

"If our current research and development speed remains unchanged, the number of circuits integrated on each integrated circuit chip will double every eighteen months." Qin Haoran said.

This is the famous "Moore's Law", and it is also the law that Gordon Moore in front of Qin Haoran concluded based on his own data analysis in [-] in the original history, revealing the extremely high development speed of information technology.

The current Gordon Moore naturally hasn't summed up this law, but he also vaguely discovered such a concept. Now that Qin Haoran said it, Moore was very surprised, because if it wasn't for this capable person, it was It is absolutely impossible to induce such a law.
