Chapter 206 Stardou Research Institute

The final reorganization was the Stardou Research Institute, which was shrouded in fog even within Zhongxing International. This is the only research unit under Zhongxing International that is neither listed nor controlling any company. It has maintained a mysterious and low-key relationship since its establishment.

Even if the authority upgraded to Xingkong Manpower, which claims to be able to access the personnel list of the entire group during this restructuring, the list of personnel of the Xingdou Research Institute in their hands is still incomplete. The missing list and files are only in the hands of Yang Xing, and others cannot get a glimpse of the whole leopard. However, many senior executives know this and have no objection to the status of the research institute within the group.

If Zhongxing International is compared to a person, Xingfu Investment is equivalent to the heart of the company, responsible for transfusion of blood to various companies; Xinghai Trading is to purchase with both hands and sell with the other hand; as for Xingxing Manpower, it is like eyes, observing the problematic areas of the body and around at any time, and arranging fresh blood to the most suitable places in the whole body; and Xingdou Research Institute is undoubtedly the brain that commands all parts, any new technology developed by the company, any relevant policies that have an impact on the company's operations, and behind the products that are important to the company's future development, there is a back of Xingdou Research Institute.

Not to mention anything else, when the Stardou Research Institute was first established, Yang Xing spent a lot of money and millions of dollars to send three inspection teams to inspect and recruit talents around the world. The first position of those senior talents in the company was to act as researchers at Stardou Research Institute. Through research and transition at Stardou Research Institute, the running-in period of their leadership positions as soon as they entered the company was greatly shortened. Therefore, the employees below discussed that if they wanted to be promoted within the group, they had to complete two tasks. One was to complete job training through Stardou Human Resources and evaluate the excellence. The other was to become a researcher at Stardou Research Institute. Those who could not be eliminated could directly enter the Zhongxing International headquarters.

This time, the other companies were planned to be implemented by the CEO. Only the functional division of Xingdou Research Institute was made by the CEOs of each company, and finally Yang Xing made the decision in person, which shows the importance of Xingdou Research Institute. For the outside world, the famous Asian economic problem analysis outlook report of Xingdou Research Institute during the financial storm has been placed on the desks of every Asian leader. Although Xingdou Research Institute's constant shouting that the crisis was coming, it felt like a crow's mouth, and it was very harsh in the voice of praise for the new Asian economy. But time has changed, and now when everyone looks back at this report, they will sigh in their hearts, "It's so unpleasant!" Now, when the Stardou Research Institute launches a quarterly analysis and forecast report on the international financial situation, there are not many economists who don't care about it.

According to the arrangement of the meeting, after the reorganization of the Xingdou Research Institute, it will be divided into the Department of Basic Science, Engineering Science, Social Science and High-tech Department, etc., according to the professional division of the International National Academy of Sciences, namely the Department of Basic Science, Engineering Science, Social Science and High-tech Department, etc. In addition, it will also establish the first enterprise unit, Xingtian Patent Company, which will be responsible for international patent applications for the industrial or commercial technologies developed by the StarDou Research Institute and its own research institutions and the industrial or commercial technologies developed by Zhongxing International, and establish a patent pool for the comprehensive patent technology developed by the Group, and put a package of patents into the patent pool and fully protected by Xingtian Patents. This is an advanced patent protection measure that has long been popular in Europe and the United States. Many domestic companies have not yet kept up, so many companies often suffer great losses on patent issues when dealing with foreign companies.

As a rebirth, Yang Xing often saw such bloody and tears in news and magazines in his previous life, so he naturally made plans. At that time, he tried every means to pull Jiang Daofang into Starry Sky Human Resources. In addition to paying attention to his family's position in the legal circle of Hong Kong, he also valued his strengths in proficiency in international patent laws. The several patent litigations that had been tried before made the group taste the sweetness. For example, the built-in antenna straight-panel mobile phone appearance design that has now become the logo of Nebula Electronics. They were successfully established through patent litigation suing Hannorga in Germany. Due to the requirements of the international patent protection agreement, even Nokia cannot copy the appearance of this mobile phone. At this annual meeting, the bosses of each company agreed to set up layers of protection for the patents, industrial designs, trademarks, etc. of his subordinate companies, and Starry Sky Human Resources came forward to carry out various litigation. For this reason, many international patent experts and lawyers have been recruited recently. Patent litigation lawsuits are also an effective means of business war!

Yang Xing has invested all the technologies being developed by Xingdou Research Institute, including the highlights of communication and microelectronics manufacturing technology of Xingyun Electronics; the electric engines, CNC machine tools and automobile projects manufactured by Xingchen are still a distance away from abroad and cannot be satisfactory. Therefore, he still has high expectations for the delayed trip to Ukraine. After all, his technical strength is there. Although it is not as good as Western processing technology, Ukraine's military-industrial technology is very beneficial to improving the manufacturing technology level within the group under the premise of dual use of military and civilians.

Moreover, the financial storm swept across East Asia has brought unexpected benefits. As the crisis deepens, the crisis in the financial field has expanded to the real economy. Many well-known manufacturing companies in East Asia have gone bankrupt one after another, and a large number of capable engineers are unemployed. This is a good time to recruit engineers. At this annual meeting, all the companies of the group proposed a plan to recruit a large number of technical talents. As the core of the technology, Xingdou Research Institute has long taken action to search for talents. Acting President Wu Haijun now heard that people with a doctorate degree were shining, and he wanted to let the aunts who sweep the floor in Xingdou Research Institute be master's degrees.

In addition to managing the daily affairs of Nebula Electronics this year, Wu Haijun ran to Silicon Valley in the United States almost every three days. According to Yang Xing's memory and his understanding of talents in the field of high-tech at that time, he visited many people who had not yet made their mark but had a great future. At this time, one of them entered his vision.

In the late 1990s, there was a famous Silicon Diagram (SGI) company in the supercomputer field. Last year, it just acquired the world's top giant computer company Clay, which reached the top of the supercomputer field. At that time, its products accounted for half of the world's 500 fastest computing supercomputers.

At this time, the wave of computer networking in the United States and Europe was booming. Although Silicon Diagram's main interest was to develop supercomputers and operating systems, in order to catch up with this wave, it also established a network product department and invited a Chinese deputy general manager to lead the company. This person was the famous Li Kaifu. This scientist manager who later served as the director of Microsoft China Research Institute and Google's global vice president had a bad prospect at this time. The reason was very simple. A three-dimensional browser he and his team spent a lot of effort to develop completely failed. Silicon Diagram lost confidence in this branch that cost huge money and had no profit prospects and was considering selling them all.

If there is no deviation in history, Silicon Diagram will reach a strategic alliance with Microsoft Intel next year, and Li Kaifu and others will be sold to Microsoft as a whole, and he will help Microsoft achieve its dominance in China. Now due to Yang Xing's disruption, this is destined not to happen. Yang Xing has long noticed Li Kaifu's keen sense of touch in the field of network products, and more importantly, Li Kaifu also has the leadership talent of a rare scientific research talent. This failed browser development has taught Li Kaifu a profound lesson. Innovation on the Internet is important, but innovation must be targeted at users. A product must be useful, and user experience must always be put first. His subsequent successful performance at Microsoft and Google proves that he learned from this point. Since the failed whetstone has sharpened his good knife, Yang Xing certainly did not let him go.

At this annual meeting, Yang Xingdou Research Institute agreed to pay SiDou Research Institute 80 million US dollars to fully accept Li Kaifu and his team. After contacting SiDou Research Institute and Li Kaifu, the feedback was very satisfactory. Wu Haijun also specifically proposed after the inspection of Li Kaifu that after Li Kaifu joined, he could give up his leadership position in StarDou Research Institute and give way to Li Kaifu.

Yang Xing deeply admires Wu Haijun's attitude of not only being meritorious. His subordinates with such a mind may not be able to catch up with the technical gap between them and foreign multinational companies. In addition to introducing high-end talents like Li Kaifu, Wu Haijun also proposed that some of the promising projects he inspected in the United States and Europe when he first joined the company were temporarily frozen due to funding and other reasons. Now the company has enough funds to be sufficient, and now it can be prepared to implement them.

Yang Xing agreed with his opinion, but now the group is still focusing on solving the biggest obstacle at present - Yamaichi Securities. In his speech at the annual meeting, this acquisition is a hurdle for Zhongxing International. If you can't get through, you will be a flat horse. If you can't get through, you will cause the group to lose energy. Only by solving Yamaichi Securities can some other measures be carried out smoothly. Yang Xing finally summarized the famous saying of Hirahachiro Togo, who is known as the God of the Japanese Navy: "The imperial country is prosperous and abolished. In this battle, each team will work hard to defeat the little Japan!"

After shouting bold words, it depends on actual actions. However, Yang Xing is not in a hurry. The South Korean economy is already in turmoil. He and Soros Robertson and others are all trying their best to attack the Korean won. At this time, it is reported that South Korea and Indonesia are unwilling to cooperate with the International Monetary Fund to tighten their domestic finances, allowing financial institutions of the two countries to sit and wait for death. Investors who were frightened were abandoned by the two countries' currencies. Another round of Asian currency depreciation frenzy began, and the greatly hit Japanese yen exchange rate was forced to fall all the way. Yang Xing's wishful thinking was to wait until after packing up the Korean won and Indonesian rupiah, and slowly kill pigs with a blunt knife, and take advantage of the opportunity of the Japanese yen depreciation to slaughter meat from Shanyi Securities.

Besides, the Zheng family cooperated with him so much, and the gifts he gave also needed "reward". He wanted to set a trap for the Zheng family, so he had to give some bait first. On the last day of 1997, Yang Xing received Zheng Qingshou and his son Zheng Ruotian who came to visit in his Hong Kong office. He was intrigue in the mall, but on the surface, he was still kind. Zheng Qingshou seemed to have forgotten that his second son was beaten by Yang Xing. He kept saying that he would compliment Yang Xing's young hero, and hinted that his Christmas gift was still worthy of Mr. Yang's appetite?

Yang Xing looked as if he was lustful and soul-savvy, and was obviously very satisfied with the Christmas gift. He didn't talk about his original plan to acquire Zheng Shirong's bank. After a few words, he asked with great urgency, "I heard that Zheng Gong's fourth concubine Tan Meichang has many such women under his command. I have a Star Charm Model Company under my Starlight Entertainment, which is short of staff. I wonder if Zheng Gong is willing to give up and merge the two model companies?"
