Chapter 384 Are you crazy, please Kaifu Lee?

Ding Lei and Li Yan both understood that what Gao Yang mentioned further cooperation is to jointly establish an Internet research institute and an Internet venture capital fund.

Ding Lei smiled and said, "Gaoyang, let's not talk about this research institute, and how the venture capital fund is established and operated. 51 Group has invested hundreds of millions this year. Where did you get the funds to do such pure investment and projects that have no economic benefits in the short term?"

Gao Yang said: "Brother Lei, 51 Group will definitely achieve revenue of more than 1 billion this year, and then Yuanda Company's revenue will also exceed 100 million.

Of course, these are not the main ones. Anyway, 51 Group will not lack funds to invest in the two projects we cooperate with.

My suggestion is that since we all agree with cooperation and agree that such cooperation is beneficial to the three companies, we might as well start to do it first.”

Li Yan smiled and said, "Valuational investment funds are simple. We jointly invest 100 million or even tens of millions, and then rent an office and can start it.

The Joint Research Institute is different. The hardware facilities are invested heavily, and it is best to build an office building by yourself. Otherwise, renting an office building is too unprofitable and you have to invest a lot of money."

Gao Yang said: "No problem. 51 Group plans to build its own office building next year. At that time, this joint research institute will be built together.

My suggestion is that it is best to set up this research institute this year, and then set up personnel, R&D projects, newly introduced talents, etc. first.

Yiwang and Baidu have R&D centers in Beijing, so you can free up an office area to set up this research institute.

For research and development, it is still necessary to hurry up. It is best to set up this research institute as soon as possible."

Ding Lie said curiously: "Will 51 Group have the financial resources to build an office building next year?"

Gao Yang nodded: "No problem, I can guarantee this with personality."

Ding Lei and Li Yan looked at each other and knew that Gao Yang would not tell lies. He is a person with background, and funds may be a small problem.

The two agreed that they could start discussing this matter.

Li Yan thought about it and said, "It is best to have a person with a reputation in the circle and a deep experience in the industry to be the dean. Our three companies cannot be selected at the moment, or there is no such a suitable candidate, right?"

Gao Yang lit a cigarette, thought for a while, and suddenly remembered a celebrity in the circle.

Gao Yang said: "Brother Lei, Brother Yan, who do you know Professor Kaifu? I suggest that it is most appropriate to ask him to be the dean of this."

"Please Professor Kafu?"

Li Yan was stunned: "You really dare to think that Professor Kaifu is now the global vice president of Google and the president of Greater China. Last year, because he gave up his position as Microsoft's global vice president, he switched to Google. Involved in the competition agreement, Google and Microsoft fought a lawsuit for half a year."

Ding Lei also shook his head:

"Gaoyang, you are really fantastic about asking Professor Kaifu to be the dean of this research institute.

Do you know Professor Kaifu's status in the world?

In the late 1980s, a PhD in computer science from CMU University in the United States, his research results were named the "Most Important Science Innovation Award" by Business Week.

CMU is Carnegie Mellon University, its computer school is top in the world.

In the 1990s, Professor Kaff worked at Apple and SGI successively, and both served as vice president. He is a top expert in the field of multimedia.

In the late 1990s, Professor Kaifu joined Microsoft and founded Microsoft China Research Institute. Later, he was transferred to Microsoft headquarters and became the global vice president.

You worked as an IT journalist a few years ago, you should know these things, right?"

Gao Yang nodded: "I know some, but it's not so detailed."

Ding Lei said again: "In July last year, Google wanted to set up the Huaxia R&D Center, so he poached Professor Kaifu, who was responsible for the R&D center, and he also served as Google's global vice president and president of Greater China.

In the global IT circle, Professor Kaifu is the top professional Chinese manager and the goal of major top companies. Such a hot expert manager, why can we hire someone to start a research institute?"

Gao Yang said: "Brother Lei, Brother Yan, I don't think we have no chance at all. In my opinion, asking Professor Kaifu is nothing more than two points.

First, the salary level is how much to give to him;

Second, it is what our research institute wants to do, what it can do, and what its future goals are.

These two points, ultimately, are just the word money and a vision.

Professor Kaifu is a Chinese. Whether he once represented Microsoft or now represented Google, he is planning the Chinese market for these two large companies.

In the eyes of these companies, the Chinese market is becoming more and more important. I think we should invite Professor Kaifu over even at any cost."

Li Yan laughed: "Gaoyang, do you know how high Professor Kaifu's salary is? I've heard of it.

When he worked at Microsoft, his annual salary was about 6 million US dollars. In order to mobilize him, Google offered him an annual salary of 30 million US dollars. Can we afford such a salary?"

"So high..."

Gao Yang touched his forehead and suddenly grinned: "Brother Yan, Baidu and Yi.com are both listed companies and need to do their best. 51 Group is not listed. If Professor Kaifu can be found to preside over the research institute, his salary will be borne by 51 Group."

Ding Lei and Li Yan were both dumbfounded.

"Good guy, how much money do you only make in a year for 51 Group?"

Gao Yang just smiled: "This is my business, so you two won't worry. If you know Professor Kaifu, please help me make an appointment and I'll talk to him."

Gao Yang's confident look made Ding Lei and Li Yan really confused.

What's the point of this guy?

Li Yan thought for a while: "Gaoyang, I know Professor Kaifu. Professor Kaifu is a senior figure. I can help you make an appointment. I dare not guarantee it if it succeeds. I really don't understand, why do you think you can invite such a great god?"

Gao Yang said: "Brother Yan, Google has now entered the Chinese market and is directly in line with your whiteness. What do you think is Google's development prospects in China?"

Li Yan was stunned and then smiled: "I understand what you mean. Google is unlikely to surpass whiteness in the Chinese market."

Gao Yang smiled and said, "Brother Yan, why should you be so humble? Google has no chance to surpass whiteness at all. I think Professor Kaifu must understand it too."

Ding Lei naturally understood what Gao Yang and Li Yan were saying, and said, "I suggest that Professor Kaifu joining this matter should be discussed from a long time. The Joint Research Institute must have at least one building first. In vernacular, how can it be touching to invite others?"

Gao Yang said: "Brother Lei, I didn't say that I would like to invite Professor Kaifu to join now. 51 Group built its own office building and the project to build the Joint Research Institute. I will try my best to establish the project at the end of the year, and strive to start construction in 2007 and put into use in the second half of 2008."

Li Yan asked with a smile: "Where are you planning to build the office building of 51 Group? Should you go to Shangdi and be your neighbor with Baidu?"

Gao Yang asked, "Brother Yan, does Shangdi still have land now?"

Li Yan said: "Yes, there is still a lot of spare land, and the land price is not expensive..."
