Go back to 1990 to start a business

Xia Chuan got out of the car, looked at the office building in front of him, and suddenly thought of a famous joke.

At the end of the 80s, when the Japanese economy was at its peak, the Japanese planned to acquire an American building, and the Americans offered more than 4 million.

However, the two sides have just reached an agreement. The Japanese boss accidentally saw in the Guinness Book of Records that the highest price for a single building sold in history was 6 million U.S. dollars, so they wanted to break this record and asked the Americans to offer 6.1 million U.S. dollars. Shocked and stunned.

After the deal was completed, Japan's economic bubble burst and it fell into a ten-year Great Depression, which Japanese people called the "lost decade."

Xia Chuan turned around and asked with a smile: "Sister Anna, how much do they offer, do you give 6000 million?"

"Don't you think it's worth it?" Anna was puzzled by his smile: "This building is worth 8000 million. They only gave it this price because of your face. They only want to be a partner and nothing else. Influence."

Xia Chuan was startled: "Have you written a contract?"

Anna's color suddenly changed.

Xia Chuan took a breath: "Bring me the contract."

Anna handed the contract to Xia Chuan. After he read it over, he pointed to a clause and said: "Look here, under any circumstances, recognize the cooperative relationship. Do you know what it means?"

Anna was worried and didn't understand the danger, so she said bravely:

"Isn't it just to admit the cooperative relationship? If you don't admit it, you won't lose money."

"Who told you not to lose money? For example, they are not qualified to borrow [-] million U.S. dollars from the bank, but isn't it enough to say they are partners with us? The bank will call to confirm, and you have to admit it. If he disappears without paying back the money, The bank can sue you for fraud because you have no cooperative relationship, and the bank can claim the [-] million.

This is a trap!

If the bank calls and you don't recognize the partner, the homeowner can sue you.

This is not China. As long as the contract complies with the legal provisions, it is equivalent to legal effect, and the judge can impose penalties.

For example, if you take 2000 million less, you will be fined 4000 million.On top of that, our scandals will be everywhere.Moreover, you sold me too cheaply. Just give me a partnership for 2000 million? "

Anna was extremely ashamed.

Shiyun quickly comforted: "Anna, it doesn't matter. It will be fine if you find out in advance."

Xia Chuan also softened his words: "Yes, they probably thought I wouldn't find out, but now that they have discovered it, let them beat the crap out of them."

Ana immediately breathed a sigh of relief and asked in a low voice: "What should we do?"

Xia Chuan smiled and said: "You forgot about interests again. Whose interests has this landlord touched? Why do we have to cooperate with those consortiums?"

Anna was even more ashamed. Why didn't she think about it anymore? She quickly said, "Let those eight shareholders come forward?"

Xia Chuan stared at him: "Sister Anna, how big of a deal are you asking eight people to come forward? Just tell Matthew about it. His brothers can't do anything else, and few people can play hooligans like them. Believe me, the American boss No one is your opponent. Remember, learn to use the resources around you, you are not fighting alone.

In addition, I don’t blame you for this. The company has just been established and the lawyers are not in place yet. In the future, the lawyers must nod to sign contracts. In such a large company, there are too many people watching you. "Xia Chuan solemnly warned.

Ana nodded heavily, "I remember."

……

Xia Chuan finally moved from the hotel to the office building.

Although it's not as good as a hotel, it's more convenient and you don't have to run back and forth.

The company acquisition of America Online and Sun Yansheng has been completed, and Shiyun has handled everything personally.

But the agreed strategic plan has not yet been implemented.

Xia Chuan first called Sun Yansheng over, and the two discussed the VCD project thoroughly.

Sun Yansheng feels that there is no deviation from his own understanding. He has now begun to develop decoding chips. With the support of the image compression technology patent, the process will be very fast, and it will be difficult for others to catch up without bypassing the patent.

But he can only design chips, and the production must be handed over to other companies.

In the initial chip industry, design, manufacturing, testing, and packaging were all completed independently by one company, such as Intel and Samsung.

But in 87, "TSMC" emerged, completely changing the industry.

TSMC only does OEM manufacturing, that is, you take the designed chips and I will manufacture them for you.

As a result, the industry has become vertical.

The designed ones can be designed separately, the manufactured ones can be manufactured separately, the tested ones can be tested separately, and the packaged ones can be individually packaged.

This vertical development model has greatly promoted the rapid development of the entire chip industry. Countless chip design companies have emerged. Anyway, the investment is not large, just a few computers.

What is valuable is patents and talents.

Sun Yansheng is this kind of chip design company. He does not have the ability to manufacture chips, so the investment must be tens of billions of dollars.

But there is no technology spillover in the manufacturing process, and chip spillover is even less likely. In the foundry industry, I will make as much as you want. If you dare to manufacture and sell it yourself, it would be tantamount to destroying the industry and facing sky-high price claims. They won't do it even to death.

"Last time you talked about the direction of audio-visual development." Sun Yansheng reminded.

Xia Chuan said: "Let's talk about the easiest thing to implement first. What will VCD be eliminated from?"

Sun Yansheng's scalp suddenly went numb. No wonder it was so big. It was so far-sighted. VCD hadn't been developed yet. He was already thinking about what to use to eliminate it.

"I'm telling you, it's DVD. After the VCD technology has been upgraded repeatedly and the decoding chip is mature enough, Eden Technology will launch this replacement product."

Next, Xia Chuan talked about the characteristics of DVD and the functions to be realized. Sun Yansheng's ideas were opened up. With a clear direction, this company will always stay ahead. As long as it can achieve global monopoly step by step, there will be no worries about wealth rolling in. .

"There is another product, I don't know if you can make it now, it's called Network Video Server, or DVS for short."

Sun Yansheng's eyes suddenly widened. He immediately understood what it meant, but he was surprised why I didn't think of it?

Don't you know that DVS is one of the companies he founded, specializing in the production of network video servers, but Xia Chuan mentioned it in advance.

Next, Xia Chuan talked in detail about the application of network video servers. Only then did Sun Yansheng realize that he had thought too little. This thing had too many uses and the future was too bright.

He immediately said excitedly: "This can definitely be done! This is to develop an application product based on image compression technology. It is easy to implement. I will join this research and development project immediately!"

Xia Chuan was very happy. In his previous life, Sun Yansheng founded one company on the left and another on the other. Four of them were listed on the market, three on Nasdaq and one in Hong Kong. In this life, he will concentrate all his products on this one company. .
