Rebirth of the Official Business Route

Jinshan is surrounded by water on three sides, and it has a typical marine climate. Going out in the morning is like a domestic festival. It is enough to wear a single coat, a thin fleece coat and a slightly thick outer layer. /

The artificial lake in front of the Art Palace is as green as jade, and a few snow-white swans swim by from time to time. Their slender necks draw a beautiful arc on the water surface. Mandarin ducks, teals, and gannets in twos and threes are noisily looking for food and choosing mates here. There are benches and grassy green fields all over the water's edge. Under the warm winter sun, Zhang Ke and Zhai Danqing can sit here for half a day.

Zhang Ke doesn't like to go to any city and browse the sights of the city in a hurry. After that, he has no deep impression. He would rather sit on the grassy grass in front of the Art Palace for a long time and look at the Roman style circle. The machine is equipped with rose-red Corinthian stone pillars and the Palace of Fine Arts with embossed rings and fine reliefs on the top surface-the iconic scenic spot in San Francisco. Zhai Danqing rests his head on Zhang Ke's thigh, and lies curled up on the grass, with a more comfortable expression . Zhang Co's eyes looked back from the magnificent dome of the Art Palace and landed on Zhai Danqing's lazy face. The beautiful and noble face like a swan and the pure and sentimental eyes like jade made people fascinated. She was wearing loose clothes , dark gray coat, covering her charming and sexy figure. w Novel chapters are updated the fastest

Okay, Zhang Ke reached out and patted Zhai Danqing's bruised cheek, They are still waiting for us to rush over for lunch!

Walk out of the square in front of the Palace of Fine Arts, the car is waiting outside the square, get in the car, and drive towards the famous Pier 39 in San Francisco. Pier 39 is probably the most joyous place in San Francisco. It was originally a place for Italian fishermen to go fishing The port is rich in delicious seafood. Today, in addition to seafood stalls, it is also crowded with museums, shops, galleries, antique shops, restaurants, centers and souvenir shops, as well as tourists. Standing at the intersection, you can see the white masts crowded in the distance. full harbor.

In a seafood restaurant on Pier 39.

The lawyer's reply letter from the North American company has been drawn up, would you like to have a look at it? Xiao Jincheng asked Zhang Ke.

It doesn't matter whether I look at it or not, as long as you feel that the tone is strong enough.

This lawsuit seems inevitable. Xiao Jincheng smiled.

Unlike other companies who choose to compromise and reconcile weakly, they would rather choose to spend huge legal fees to go to court. It takes a certain amount of courage to go to court with the largest audio-visual giant in the United States, but it is not without all, no matter whether the lawsuit is won or won , being able to go to court with the largest audio-visual audio giant in the United States and even the entire European and American regions~ will greatly benefit Aida’s reputation in North America. In addition, Kumho owns the world’s largest genuine music sales website. Losing, at most, setting stricter piracy measures on the product, and it is unlikely that the product will be banned in North America. What needs to be considered at this time may be the issue of huge litigation costs. The more lingering the lawsuit may be, the better it is for Kumho. The cost may be part of the 40 million US dollars marketing budget.

The electronics industry is extremely complicated when it comes to patents. No electronics company dares to declare that its products have absolutely no overlapping parts with other companies' patented technologies. Sometimes it's just that Qiaohe didn't do enough in the patent examination.

There are endless examples of suppressing competing companies by means of intellectual property disputes. This is the first time Kumho has encountered so far. But definitely not the last one. The focus of patent disputes is almost all concentrated in the European and American markets. To gain a firm foothold in the European and American markets. Responding to the lawsuit or fighting is the only correct choice. Sometimes you can fight back and complain about other people's infringement. certainly. The Kumho patent pool must be large enough to be eligible to set up patents for others.

Zhang Ke asked Meng Le and Xi Ruolin how they felt about visiting the North American company in the morning.

I haven't started working yet. After a visit, I feel some pressure. Meng Le said with a smile. I thought the United States was a world of flamboyance. I only work five days a week. I only work six hours a day. I have a little understanding. It's not like that at all. Here. A little slack. There is a possibility of being eliminated tomorrow!

Hehe. Someone has done statistics. In 1998, the per capita salary in the valley was 960,000 U.S. dollars. It was twice the average income of urban workers in Jiancheng. In 1999, it could reach about 100,000 U.S. dollars. With such a high salary, how can there be no pressure? Zhang Ke said with a smile.

One hundred thousand dollars. Xi Ruolin sighed lightly. We acquired those shares in Chuangyu. Everyone felt a fortune. Come out for a walk. I really feel that the world outside is much wider—about how many high technologies are there in Silicon Valley?

There are almost one million scientific researchers, Cheng Hanzhang said, and they are all elites from various countries. Half of the graduates from Tsinghua University, University of Science and Technology, Beijing Institute of Technology, and Dongda University in mainland China will come out sooner or later. Here is They mainly flow to the ground... Cheng Hanzhang is from Taiwan and has always called the mainland the mainland; Xiao Jincheng is also

Anyone who works here will feel pressure. You two should experience it well. Zhang Ke patted Meng Le on the shoulder and said with a smile.

How many people in Jianjian expect to work in Kumho! Xi Ruolin said with a smile, Who would have thought that the gap is so big!

In China, Kumho's salary is not bad, so there is no need to be humble. Zhang Ke said.

The annual salary of scientific researchers recruited in China is generally around 100,000 yuan, which was considered an absolute high salary in 1999. The housing price in the downtown area of ​​Jianjian was only a little over 2,000 yuan per square meter, after discounting the difference in prices, It is almost one-half to one-third of the average salary in the United States, and the gap is not as big as imagined.

The scale of the Oak Park envisioned by Zhang Ke must be maintained at more than 20,000 scientific researchers to ensure that Kumho has the ability to develop an independent and complete technical system and ensure that Kumho has a firm foothold in the consumer electronics industry.

Some basic technologies are relatively easy, but the follow-up research requires an exponential increase in the number of scientific researchers. Now the number of researchers in Oak Park exceeds 2,000, which seems to be basically enough, but it will soon feel that there is a shortage of manpower. Kumho first opened the first DVD player, and it only needed Su Jindong and a few people to get it out. At this time, there are 50 full-time scientific researchers in the audio-visual laboratory, and there are also a lot of basic research on audio-visual technology that belongs to the Taite Optoelectronics Technology Research Institute and the Oak Park Experimental Park. Now Kumho needs someone to follow up every time it acquires a patented technology outside. Some technologies are more complicated, and even need a research group to do follow-up digestion and follow-up research, which requires a large number of scientific researchers to devote their energy to it.

This is also the key to the fact that it is extremely difficult for domestic companies that are good at price wars to establish an in-depth scientific research system. Considering the scale of Oak Park at this time, Kumho’s annual salary cost is as high as 400 million, and it is really necessary to reach 20,000 scientific research personnel. In terms of scale and salary alone, three or four billion yuan will be invested a year. Relying on the market advantage established by the price war, how can the meager profits obtained pay for such a high human cost for scientific research? An in-depth scientific research system needs to be supported by an enterprise with excellent profitability. In turn, this system will continue to enhance the profitability of the enterprise.

Unless you have the confidence to monopolize the market, you should never fight a price war easily. Continuous product innovation is the competitiveness worth relying on.

Even though Kumho invests a lot of money every year to develop and expand the Oak Park research system, it is difficult to hire a large number of middle and senior scientific researchers from Silicon Valley to return to China due to its capital strength. However, compared with Silicon Valley, the professionalism of domestic scientific research personnel is still far behind. Kumho’s approach is to hire middle and high-level scientific research personnel from the valley and around the world with high salaries to return to work in China, and establish a research system based on these backbones. The skeleton comes, and then a large number of basic scientific research personnel are recruited from China to supplement it. In addition, a strict and multi-channel training system has been established, which includes not only the internal training mechanism of Oak Park, but also the academic exchanges between Oak Park and the experimental base in Tsukuba City and the ESS Experimental Base in Silicon Valley, as well as cooperation with Texas Instruments, Scooper and other companies. Establish a joint laboratory and conduct technical exchanges with advanced high-tech companies through the joint laboratory. For Tunghai University, which can be said to directly import outstanding graduates to Kumho, Kumho has not only jointly established a dual tutor system with these universities to provide a better platform for the cultivation of professional talents, but also directly sponsored a large amount of funds to these universities. , instruments, in order to improve the professional teaching and academic level of these colleges and universities, the donation to build the library can also be said to be part of the work.

Zhang Ke’s visit to San Francisco this time, in addition to inspecting the work here, is mainly to recruit talents, recruiting talents that are extremely scarce in Kumho’s future development direction, such as authoritative experts in the field of mobile email technology.

When the seafood feast was delivered, Zhang Ke asked Cheng Hanzhang about the progress of his contact.

I have had many contacts with Xing before, Cheng Hanzhang said, He still wants us to fund his company instead of buying his company...

He may be the earliest inventor and the most authoritative expert in the field of mobile email technology, but his early inventions did not apply for patents, and a large number of patents were registered by nTp and two companies, which is the most important thing for him and his company right now. The most important thing is to carry out the final deployment of patents, rather than rushing to commercialize mobile email services - of course, even if he can register one or two patents at this time, the competition with nTp and the company is still at an absolute The disadvantage, let us acquire, is the most suitable way out for him.
