Chapter 242 Make a Small Goal First

After a pause, Duan Yuan continued:

"In this case, Teacher Ning, I won't bargain with you. I will quote you the highest price I can give you."

As he spoke, Duan Yuan pointed out a finger.

Seeing Duan Yuan pointing out a finger, Ning Chen probably guessed the price Duan Yuan wanted to give.

If nothing else, the price given by Duan Yuan should be 100 million.

Ning Chen would not have any objections to such a price. These funds are enough for Xingchen Technology to continue to grow and develop.

Sure enough, the price Duan Yuan mentioned later was exactly what Ning Chen imagined.

"Teacher Ning, the maximum price I can offer here is 100 million. In fact, if it is a company acquisition, the price can be increased by more than ten times. However, if it is a cooperation, it is really difficult for the company to take out too much at once. funds."

By the way, Duan Yuan directly told Warwick the intended price for acquiring Xingchen Technology, wondering whether Ning Chen would change his mind.

Ning Chen was also a little surprised by the information revealed by Duan Yuan. He did not expect that Warwick would really consider spending billions to acquire his own company. This is enough to show how courageous Warwick is.

But Ning Chen still won't regret his decision. As long as the Xingchen OS system can perform well, this cooperation method will bring more long-term income to Ning Chen.

Of course, Ning Chen was very satisfied with the first batch of 100 million advance funds.

After all, this is a small goal. If he just publishes papers, Ning Chen may not be able to save 100 million in his lifetime.

Even if Xingchen Technology continues to expand its scale, 100 million funds will be enough for the company to operate for a long time.

Thinking of this, Ning Chen replied:

"Mr. Duan, this price is acceptable to our Star Technology. In fact, I have always hoped that Warwick's mobile phones can be applied to the Star OS system at the earliest. And my ultimate goal is that our country can have complete products in all aspects." science and technology to get rid of dependence on foreign technology.”

Ning Chen's words suddenly touched the depths of Duan Yuan's heart, because these are also the ultimate goals in the hearts of Duan Yuan and many employees of Warwick.

"Teacher Ning, this is also our ultimate goal at Warwick. I hope that through our joint efforts, one day we can achieve such a goal!"

The cooperation negotiations between the two parties went very smoothly this time, and the intention to cooperate was reached without too much bargaining.

After confirming the specific plan details in the cooperation agreement, Xingchen Technology and Warwick reached a cooperation agreement.

Warwick is also quite satisfied with this kind of cooperation, because they are confident that one day in the future, Warwick's mobile phones will be able to use the Star OS system.

A fee of 100 million is a lot, but if Huawei maintains its previous mobile phone shipments, these fees may not be enough to pay the system patent royalties for the mobile phones shipped by Huawei in a month.

Such an investment is undoubtedly worth trying for Warwick.

As long as it takes the lead in reaching a cooperation agreement with Xingchen Technology, Warwick can develop the Xingchen OS system earlier and optimize a system version more suitable for Huawei mobile phones based on the Xingchen OS system.

…

After completing the signing of the agreement with Warwick, Ning Chen invited all the company's employees to have dinner together to celebrate the signing of the contract.

Because Song Xiyun also made a considerable contribution, Song Xiyun was naturally invited by Ning Chen to celebrate the signing of the contract with everyone.

Ning Chen first thanked everyone for their efforts during this period. Although the source code of the entire Galaxy OS system comes from Ning Chen, without the work that everyone has done these days, Ning Chen alone would definitely not be able to achieve what he has now. The result of.

Everyone was very proactive in working overtime during this period, which greatly accelerated the progress of the entire project.

"Manager Lu, with this funding, we can continue to expand the company's size. Later, we will also pay attention to which rooms are available for rent in this office building. If we find suitable ones, we will rent them first."

Judging from the current scale of the company, work efficiency is still far from enough. Ning Chen needs to recruit at least dozens more employees to maintain the company's operations and system and software development.

After all, this Xingchen OS system cannot be static. Every once in a while, it needs to be updated according to the situation.

In addition, Ning Chen also hopes to develop some new software to expand the company's influence in the industry.

"Okay, Mr. Ning, we will pay attention to this matter." Lu Minghao replied.

This matter has been a long-standing request of Lu Minghao. With sufficient funds, Ning Chen can finally satisfy Lu Minghao's request.

After the meal was almost finished, Ning Chen raised his glass and said to everyone:

"Finally, thank you again for your efforts in this project. But this success is not the end, it is just a starting point for us to move towards the technology industry. Next, we will continue to work together to create more excellent results. This In a few days, the company will give you statistics on project bonuses, so please pay attention to check them."

Hearing about the "project bonus", everyone became energetic again and couldn't help but cheer.

After all, as a worker, income is the most important thing. Naturally, everyone hopes that they can have more income.

Ning Chen is not a boss who likes to paint cakes, but will really reward his employees with performance that matches his employees.

This can also greatly enhance employees' work enthusiasm and give them a sense of belonging to the company.

On the way back, Ning Chen and Song Xiyun returned to Xiangdu Garden Community together.

While eating, Ning Chen drank some wine, but perhaps because of his strong brain power, the alcohol did not have any paralyzing effect on Ning Chen's brain.

"By the way, Song Xiyun, you also send Lu Minghao a bank card number. This time I plan to send you a project bonus of 100,000 yuan."

After hearing Ning Chen's words, Song Xiyun had a completely unexpected expression.

"Ning Chen, there's no need to be so polite between us, right? I'm just using some of my spare time to help the company. And we haven't said anything about me getting a bonus before."

Song Xiyun took the initiative to help Ning Chen work on the project, and she really didn't think about getting a bonus for doing this project.

"Song Xiyun, just listen to my arrangements. I treat everyone involved in the project equally. I can't just use your labor in vain just because we are familiar with each other, right? In this case, what projects will I carry out in the future? , I’m embarrassed to invite you over.”

Song Xiyun didn't want to be unable to participate in Ning Chen's projects in the future. After thinking about it, she decided to accept Ning Chen's proposal.

…

After the system patent royalties advanced by Warwick entered Xingchen Technology's company account, Ning Chen immediately started to expand the company's scale.

Ning Chen first rented several other offices in this office building so that the company could have more work space and accommodate a larger number of employees.

On the other hand, Ning Chen also asked the company's human resources department to start recruiting employees.

Ningchen still has very high requirements for the recruitment conditions of employees. In addition to the professional abilities of employees, the background review of employees also needs special attention.

Because many of the company's research projects involve confidential parts, if you recruit some employees randomly, there is a risk that company secrets will be leaked.

Although such things cannot be completely avoided, Ning Chen still hopes that the possibility of such things happening can be minimized during the employee recruitment process.

After the company gradually stabilized, Ning Chen gradually shifted his focus back to scientific research.

After all, Ning Chen's main job is as a researcher at Shengzhou University, and the company's affairs are only Ning Chen's side job. More energy should be put into scientific research.

After Ning Chen has accumulated enough scientific research results, he will also prepare to create a Chinese academic journal.

On this day, when he came to the company to understand the situation, Ning Chen suddenly remembered something and said to Lu Minghao:

"Manager Lu, I hope the company can develop a new software. I wonder if the company can spare time to carry out this new project with its current work efficiency."

After hearing Ning Chen's request, Lu Minghao replied seriously:

"Mr. Ning, the company has recently recruited many highly capable employees. The labor force is much stronger than before, and they are still capable of conducting research on new projects. I wonder what kind of software Mr. Ning wants to develop?"

"Well... to roughly describe it, it is a social software that includes academic and learning categories. On this social platform, the core of everyone's discussions is mainly scientific research, academics, and various learning-related topics..."

The reason why Ning Chen suddenly thought of developing such a software was to facilitate his own academic journal creation in the future.

Use such an academic social software to attract traffic in advance. In this way, the academic journals you create can also have greater attention and influence.

After listening to Ning Chen's needs, Lu Minghao also felt that this was a good idea.

"Mr. Ning, I basically understand. There is no similar software on the market now. If we can develop such software, it will be easy to occupy the market."

"Okay, I will give a detailed introduction to this software later, and then you can develop it according to this plan. This software is not for profit, as long as it can attract enough high-quality users, that is Our ultimate goal.”

In fact, Ning Chen had previously considered whether to directly develop a social software, but this idea was quickly rejected by Ning Chen himself.
