1991 Starting from the core

If the trajectory remains unchanged, Ms. Carly, once known as "the most beautiful CEO in the world" in later generations, will serve as an executive of Lucent, which was spun off from AT\u0026T in 1995. Then in 1999, Hewlett-Packard drove an excavator to the door of Lucent's house and hired her directly to serve as president and CEO. In the first year of her taking office, Hewlett-Packard's stock price rose from US$70 to US$100... At that time, the whole world was in an uproar. Lucent looked confused.

Then she made a big move and directly annexed her old rival Compaq and announced the establishment of a new HP.

However... this woman is really not simple. When the business declined, she fired three executives without mercy.

Of course, her ending was quite disappointing - in 2005, the board of directors held an emergency meeting and directly dismissed her. When HP employees heard the news of her dismissal, they toasted with joy, which shows how unpopular she was.

When recalling Carly's glorious deeds, Su Yuanshan only lamented that this woman was born 20 years earlier. If she had been born twenty years later, wouldn't the way she played be the wolf culture popular in later generations? It's a pity that HP, as a century-old company, has a profound and "gentle as a mother" corporate culture, which emphasizes people-oriented.

Carly can't fight with this gang.

But now the corporate culture here in Xinghai is far from being formed. Xi Xiaoding is purely engaged in technology, Yang Yiwen is only responsible for legal affairs and daily affairs, and Qin Si is responsible for market development. As for company management, the three people have formed a relatively delicate balance under their special relationship, and everything is discussed through discussion. So no contradiction occurred.

However, as Su Yuanshan said, the development of Xinghai is too slow.

It's not anyone's fault, it's just that they are both unprofessional. Although Qin Si is better, she is mainly good at investment, and she is still learning to transfer from the financial world to the high-tech field.

After Su Yuanshan introduced Carly, Xi Xiaoding actually nodded to show that he knew her - they met her occasionally in coffee shops. After all, Silicon Valley is so small, and Xinghai is not far away from AT\u0026T's semiconductor department here.

"She looks like a very capable lady at first glance, but... are you sure she will come?"

“There is only one condition required to poach ordinary people, and the money is in place.”

"Two conditions are needed to recruit people like you, development potential and sufficient money, oh no, you also need to be able to work well." Su Yuanshan curled his fingers and smiled: "We all have these conditions."

Xi Xiaoding opened his mouth to retort, but finally smiled bitterly: "You're right."

After entering Silicon Valley, Su Yuanshan went directly to the company before he could catch the jet lag. After half a year of extensive development, six departments have been formed in Xinghai.

One is that Xi Xiaoding presides over the software development team, which is mainly composed of international students and local students. It is currently conducting the final test of the CRM software (customer management system) - in terms of design, Xi Xiaoding has largely accepted Su Yuanshan's opinions. And because CRM is purely commercial software, not industry software, and has no serious rivals such as Synopsys, Su Yuanshan asked Xi Xiaoding to make a detailed upgrade progress. There is no need to do it in one step, just take it slowly based on customer feedback.

The second is Howard's commercial chip design division. After designing and perfecting the cordless phone, Howard and the others began to follow Su Yuanshan's arrangements, connect with the Yuanxintian Yaoming team in the provincial capital, and invest in the development of GSM, reporting progress to each other by phone and email.

Then there are the investment and market development departments in charge of Qin Si, the EDA technical support department in charge of a young man named Phipps, and the logistics and legal departments in charge of Yang Yiwen.

Moreover, the number of people here in Silicon Valley alone has expanded to more than 400, almost catching up with the Yuanxin headquarters in the provincial capital, and this does not include the new companies just established in Europe.

In Xi Xiaoding's office, Su Yuanshan was delighted after looking at the current structure: "It's a miracle that you didn't fall apart in such a mess."

Yang Yiwen glared at him: "Aren't there so many people in Yuanxin?"

"That's different. Yuanxin's after-sales service is run independently. The headquarters is basically all technical people, so I can still hold on..." Su Yuanshan put down the document, raised his head and said to Qin Si: "Sister Qin Si, thank you for your hard work."

Qin Si breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Although she was actively invited to join by Su Yuanshan, among the three elders here, she is the only one who truly belongs to the "outsider" category. In the past six months, she had worked hard to manage the company's business, fearing that if something went wrong, no one would take the blame. At this time, she could get a thank you from Su Yuanshan for her hard work, and she was naturally relieved - it seemed that Su Yuanshan could see her efforts.

"There are specialties in the art industry. From now on, Sister Qin Si will focus on the investment department and hone her vision as soon as possible. In the future, the investment department will become an independent professional investment company."

Qin Si agreed simply: "Okay."

"My sister-in-law is not here for the time being. Mao Gui, a professional lawyer here in the United States, can only cooperate with the law firm now. And my sister-in-law's task is to be familiar with the law here - why don't you see if you can apply to study here? A big man?"

"Well, I'll think about it."

"Senior Brother Xi, this way..." Su Yuanshan turned to look at Xi Xiaoding, who was sitting on the sofa like a gentleman.

Xi Xiaoding raised his head and smiled at him: "What about me? You tell me."

"You wait until Chen Haoming comes out to pick you up -" Su Yuanshan looked at Qin Si. "Senior Brother Chen, will he be able to get the certificate soon?"

Qin Si nodded: "Well, I will graduate in June."

Su Yuanshan looked at Xi Xiaoding again: "Senior Brother Xi can return to China by then, or wait until the science and technology park is repaired at the end of the year before returning... But in the second half of next year, I still suggest that Senior Brother take a teaching position in the Electrical Engineering Department and bring outstanding graduate students to specialize in it. algorithm."

Xi Xiaoding's expression suddenly became serious: "Be specific."

"The specific point is that we will work together to see if we can write a set of algorithm textbooks suitable for our country. There don't seem to be many algorithms here now, and most of the textbooks are compiled by Coleman and Levi. "Introduction to Algorithms", right?"

Xi Xiaoding nodded: "When I returned to China last year, I actually planned to translate "Introduction to Algorithms" into China. However, after returning to China and shopping around, I found that...the school didn't even have many computers, so I gave up the idea. That said. How did you learn it?"

Su Yuanshan chuckled: "I learned it from the dictionary."

Everyone: "..."

At this time, the excitement gradually passed, and Su Yuanshan became tired. He looked around and felt that he seemed to have missed something. After closing his eyes hard for a moment, he saw the forum under the monitor.

Su Yuanshan suddenly woke up: "I fainted, I almost forgot! Brother, please post a notice on our forum and say that Yuanxin EDA sponsors the first open source plug-in competition. The top ten will be selected by collective voting by experts and forum members, and the final three will be selected." Yuanxin will issue a bonus of up to US$30,000. Please note that Yuanxin employees are not allowed to participate."

"Damn...you are so cruel."

Su Yuanshan smiled.

It's not that he is cruel, it's just that there is no Internet now, and the forum is the only place for elite programmers to communicate. The delay in launching the Yuanxin Forum is certainly related to the preference for industry software, but it is a bit excessive that there are so many IC designers in the world who can connect to the Internet and they do not go to professional EDA forums.

"I'm too sleepy. I have to go back and take a nap first. Brother Xi, please send an email to make an appointment with Ms. Carly to see if she is available tomorrow."

Su Yuanshan took out a piece of paper and threw it on the table, then yawned again.
