Chapter 287： [Internal training plan]

Latest website: On the eighth day of Luo Sheng's arrival in Japan, the two parties finally reached a very important consensus. Sony's board of directors met frequently during these days and finally decided to sell the Cell business to the Blue Coast.

Price concessions have also been made, with Sony offering $ 2.188 billion.

Luo Sheng actually accepted this price, but he still bargained with the other party. During the last negotiation, the two parties mediated for about three and a half hours, and finally reached the company on the merger price.

$ 1.685 billion!

At the same time, the prerequisite for Sony to accept this price needs to propose an additional condition, that is, the PS3 game console currently supported by the Cell chip, the azure coast does not share the profit of Cell, otherwise Sony will lose $ 350 for each PS3 game console sold Because the R & D costs are evenly spread out and become higher.

Luo Sheng agreed with this "very reluctantly". In fact, the Cell processor was not worth much money in his eyes. After he bought it, he had to completely re-architect it from the bottom.

After the two sides completed the initials, Luo Sheng set out to return home.

The fastest time to complete this M & A transaction is about one month, or even two or three months, but it is basically nailed down.

...

On the third day, the CEO office of the French Riviera.

"General Luo, our company will spend 1.685 billion US dollars to acquire the complete Cell business of Sony, Toshiba, and IBM. I am afraid that the funds may not be enough. You need to find a bank loan." Yao Jianhong said into the office.

This time is different from the past. It is to start making its own chip from the underlying architecture. It is an ambitious plan to subvert the rule of Intel x86 and end the dark age of the "toothpaste factory".

It is also completely different from Azure-X mobile phones. Although its AP processor is designed by Bluestar Technology, it uses Qualcomm's licensed technology, and the baseband is still Qualcomm's. The deadly communication baseband, the R & D funds thrown into it are rising every year.

And this time the French Riviera opened up a new business. The investment is undoubtedly an astronomical figure. It is only a starting point to throw in more than one billion US dollars. It only serves the company's highly confidential [] plan, and subsequent investment is the big one. The scale of burning money is calculated by billions of dollars.

The business of the Cote d'Azur company is now relatively single. The main source of revenue is the Azure series smartphones and the two major revenue sections of the AOS application store.

From the first generation of the Azure series phones, the total sales volume so far is 26.89 million units, with total sales of $ 18.7 billion, and the revenue of the AOS application store exceeded $ 1.5 billion.

This transcript is not the 2008 results of the Cote d'Azur company, but the total results the company has created since its establishment. This year's performance has not been counted. There is still more than one month in 2008.

There is no doubt that this is a very bright achievement, but the company's profit is only about 8%.

Because the money earned was thrown into R & D investment by Luo Sheng again, the French Riviera has no background. To have enough technological precipitation, a large amount of R & D investment is required. The company has now launched two new hardware projects.

One is the development of the next-generation Azure mobile phone, and the other is the [] plan with the intention to penetrate the hinterland of Intel Kingdom.

A huge amount of R & D investment is evenly distributed, and the profit is of course low.

The Cote d'Azur is now in great need of primitive accumulation of technology.

"Don't worry about the funds. If the bank doesn't lend to the company, I will personally give money to the company."

Hearing Luo Sheng's words, Yao Jianhong had no doubts, and some news reports concerned him knew that he had sold his holdings of Blue Star Technology shares several times in the past few years and realized more than 5 billion US dollars.

This money is the money on the bright side, Luo Sheng can use it with a high profile.

But in fact, in less than a year, through gambling on the North American housing market, it has now become more than 48 billion U.S. dollars, and about 10% can be directly taken out from the inside. The other funds are for Delay as much as possible to be exposed that you have shorted the North American housing market, and it must be applied after some complex operations.

Luo Sheng added: "The issue of funding is actually the second. As soon as possible, talents are collected in Japan, and the construction of the R & D center is set up as soon as possible."

Yao Jianhong nodded: "Understand!"

The matter explained, he also left Luo Sheng's office.

Putting the other person's talents for your own use can not only strengthen yourself, but also stifle the cradle of potential competitors. Since Japanese companies have abandoned smartphones and mobile Internet, they do n’t want to think about picking things up again. Already.

Even if Japanese companies such as Sony are involved in the smart phone industry again, they are only reduced to a niche, and they have no right to speak in this industry.

Luo Sheng stayed in his office for a while and went to the azur coast laboratory. In the afternoon, he hosted a meeting of the technical department. Bai Lang, Lu Siming, Li Chunsheng and others were all listed.

After going through a series of grinds, they can now be qualified as product managers. They all lead at least two development projects, and the number of engineers directly managed is over 100.

"This time the company's acquisition of Sony's Cell business and the establishment of a research and development center in Japan are a good opportunity." Luo Sheng said to a group of technical executives attending the meeting: "There are too few engineers in our country, and good engineers are scarce. You ca n’t just dig corners, you have to grab both hands, you have to hold both hands. So, we need to look for talented young engineers from the inside to train them. "

After a pause, Luo Sheng added: "This year has one or two months to close. I decided to start formally next year and start preparations at the end of this year. We have to select outstanding young engineers from the company every year, especially He is a pioneering young engineer who sponsored him to study abroad, to study at our R & D center in Yokohama, Japan, and outstanding engineers in Japan, to the R & D center in Austin, Texas, and outstanding engineers in the United States. "

Of course, Luo Sheng is not stupid. The company is not emotionally driven to pay for the company and send a large number of employees to study abroad.

It is to sign a contract and a business agreement. After returning from studies, he cannot leave the company alone or change jobs. He must stay in the company for at least eight years. After the lock-up period expires, the employee can decide to stay.

Otherwise, if the company spends a lot of time, manpower, material resources, and financial resources to carefully cultivate a talented person, after the completion of the study did not contribute any value to the company, leave the company alone or jump, or even compete with the parent company, Wouldn't it have become the "Huangpu Military Academy in the IT industry", and also shot himself in the foot.

Although the treatment of the Cote d'Azur company is already in line with international standards, the world's top level, the company is in a period of rapid rise, and the company itself is a huge stage to display personal talents, the probability of job hopping or going alone is rare.

Rarely does not mean that there is none.

Therefore, one yard at a time, one signing agreement cannot be saved. This is a manifestation of responsibility to both parties. With a layer of guarantee of contractual relationship, potential crisis of trust between each other can be eliminated.

The talent issue is a key issue that Luo Sheng always cares about here. The domestic related talent base is too small, there are fewer outstanding talents, and a large number of outstanding talents are traveling abroad.

Luo Sheng is a genius, and he is a person after all, but his energy is limited, but his career is unlimited. As the career continues to grow, the two companies ’plates are also getting bigger and bigger.

Today, the total number of employees of Bluestar Technology Group worldwide has exceeded the 70,000 mark, and the Cote d'Azur company has also exceeded the 30,000 mark.

Luo Sheng needs all kinds of talents. Scientific research talents, management talents, legal talents, sales talents and so on are gathered under his command, so that he can steer the two giant ships smoothly.

Overseas talents must find ways to hire them at high salaries for their own use. At the same time, they must also actively cultivate talents internally, send them out for further studies, and then return to the company to return to the company.

The internal trainer drafted the company's funding for employees to go abroad for further studies, and Luo Sheng made a very decisive decision.

This was a win-win situation, and it didn't take too long. After a week, this matter was made public inside the Cote d'Azur company.

The company decided to start with a budget of 1 billion yuan next year to start an internal talent training program and fund its employees to study abroad.

The budget expenditure scale is determined according to the company's development needs and actual conditions, but it is not unexpected, and it will be added year by year as the company grows.

This has caused a great response from the staff group, especially some young research talents, and the opportunity to obtain a second degree of study is undoubtedly a personal sublimation.

The point is, company funding.

The employees of Bluestar Technology Group saw the news that broke out next door, and began to discuss. It is obviously impossible to be envious. The employees of Bluestar Technology are also the elites of the industry, and the more outstanding The more people know that backwardness will be eliminated by the times.

Whether it is the Blue Coast or Bluestar Technology Group, there is an anonymous employee community forum inside. Anonymity is to encourage employees to express their opinions in the editorial forum to promote all aspects of improvement and improvement of the company.

If it is a real name, everyone is afraid to offend the leader, so they dare not tell the truth.

After the news from the next door came, the anonymous community forum on Bluestar Technology also began to discuss, and petitioned Luo Sheng, the ultimate BOSS, in the hope that Bluestar Technology could also launch such a welfare system, not just others.

In fact, they are too anxious, but they can understand their mood.

Of course, Luo Sheng will not forget that he is also the boss and founder of Bluestar Technology. The palms of his hands are full of meat. Of course, he will not be thin and thin, and Bluestar Technology also faces the problem of lack of talents.

No one ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Of course not good people.

The day after the announcement of the azure coast, Blue Star Technology Group also issued an announcement within the team. From the same year next year, the group company will spend 1.2 billion yuan on internal talent training programs to fund its employees to study abroad.

It is the same standard as the French Riviera, but all employees of the company can submit written applications, and they need to undergo double cross-examination by the relevant departments of the company and get all qualifications. In principle, you must meet three years of working experience.

However, exceptions are also allowed, and employees under three years of service also have the opportunity to obtain qualifications, but this requires the president's seal to be approved.

In addition to this regulation, some talented talents are considered, giving them a better environment to grow faster than ordinary people and make a great contribution.

The news quickly spread from the inside of the company to the outside world, attracting huge attention in the industry and society.
