    Chapter 251: Six months, $200 million

    By the time great wall got on track and started formal research and development work, it was already June. After a busy month, this company, which Liu Xun had high hopes for, finally started formal work.

    Throughout May, Liu Xun was busy, participating in the preparation of the great wall from beginning to end, including the internal layout of the building named Mingde, Zhiyuan, and Shensi.

    In addition to technical pressure interviews, Liu Xun is also involved in the company's personnel recruitment. Moreover, Great Wall wants to recruit more than just technical personnel. Although it is currently similar to the marketing department, it does not need to recruit, regardless of management talents.  To train people well from scratch, Liu Xun has already had a complete personnel training plan. Moreover, as the research and development progress is completed, he will continue to recruit various talents. Of course, subsequent recruitment will not be based on technical personnel.  It's the Lord.

    After the recruitment work throughout May was completed, a total of more than 1,100 employees joined the company, and all of them have been put into formal work.  Here, the vast majority are technicians.  Of course, having so many employees also means that Liu Xun has to pay US$12 million in human resources costs every month.  No wonder some people often say that research and development is a waste of money. Every month, the salary alone costs more than 10 million US dollars. If it were not supported by the US land certificate, hehe

    But at this moment, Liu Xun was looking at the financial budget and schedule handed over by Chu He with a face filled with pain and pain. He had long known that research and development was a costly job, but he never expected that after he had  Even with the source code, it's still so expensive and so frustrating.

    Not to mention the personnel salary, Liu Xun had already estimated that it would be 360 ??million in thirty months, and Liu Xun had already made preparations.  However, Liu Xun underestimated the time cost. According to Chu He's estimation, even if he has the source code, if he wants to develop a complete operating system and supporting software, he will start intensive research and development from now on and invest enough funds.  It will take about thirty months, that is to say, it will not be completed until the beginning of 1995.

    In these thirty months, the total cost of human resources expenditure is as high as 360 million U.S. dollars, but this 360 million U.S. dollars cost can only account for half of the entire R&D expenses. After all, R&D work  , it also requires investment in software and hardware, various instruments and equipment, etc. According to Chu He's rough estimate, it will also require between US$300 million and US$400 million. This is because the source code has been available for a long time.

    In other words, before the completion of research and development, the required investment is between 600 million and 800 million U.S. dollars. Even if calculated using the current exchange rate, converted into RMB, it is as high as 3.3 billion to 4.4 billion U.S. dollars.  between.

    Seeing that huge number, Liu Xun couldn't help but feel frightened. Although this guy is said to be worth four billion yuan, he still owes more than $300 million in the bank, and he also owes Lerner, his wife, and Valentine.  Part of the transaction amount, and Cisco's shares cannot be discounted, so the money this guy can use is also limited. To be honest, he can't get a lot at once. Fortunately, research and development is a continuous investment process, and a  Yueyueyue's flowers don't need to be taken out so much at once, otherwise, he will just commit suicide.

    But every time he saw Chu He's budget, Liu Xun couldn't help but feel heartache. It was worth several billion yuan. These days, the richest man in the country is probably only worth that much, if he doesn't have too much ambition.  , guarding billions, the annual interest alone can suffocate people to death.  It's a pity that Liu Xun is not a person who can settle down with a small amount of money, although a few billion is a big, big fortune.

    However, if Liu Xun's mentality of worrying about gains and losses is known to the people at Microsoft, they will probably scold this guy for being so good at taking advantage of it. God knows, it only takes a few hundred million dollars to develop a new operating system. This is such a good thing.  You kid is so unhappy that you still dare to complain. Isn't this because you got a bargain and acted like a good boy? In which year did Microsoft not invest billions of dollars in research and development?  Even for a simple operating system R&D, US$780 million is not enough.  In this research and development field that often costs billions of dollars, a few hundred million dollars is just enough to buy an admission ticket.  Liu Xun, who unreasonably directly releases the source code, is naturally an exception. In research and development, the most money and energy is spent on the source code, and only high-end technical personnel can participate, and the progress is incomparable.  of slowness.

    Liu Xun is sure that if he puts this source code up for public auction, there will be many people willing to buy it for one billion or two billion dollars.  Because we have the source code, we are almost certain to be able to develop a new operating system and save countless time.  For the sake of its position as the leader, Microsoft is determined to buy this source code and is willing to spend money to buy time. Microsoft is definitely wealthy.  Of course, exceptOthers besides Microsoft are not stingy. There are many people who are determined to surpass Microsoft. Some people have long been disgusted with the situation where Microsoft is the dominant company. Some people can afford the price, because if you get this source code,  If it is strong enough, surpassing Microsoft is almost certain.

    Of course, Liu Xun would not even think of auctioning the source code in his head even if he was mad. Between hundreds of billions of dollars and billions of dollars, any fool knows what to choose. Besides, building another Microsoft would  Thinking about such a highly anticipated achievement makes people so proud.  In fact, at Liu Xun's current stage, it is no longer just about making money. With his current worth, money is just a number.

    However, Liu Xun was still not very satisfied with the financial budget and progress estimate provided by Chu He. It was not that he was dissatisfied with the price budget and the cost of research and development. Liu Xun had already been mentally prepared.  What he was dissatisfied with was that the research and development schedule set by Chu He was too slow and would take thirty months to complete.

    According to Liu Xun's memory, Microsoft's Windows 95 was released in August 1995. It can be speculated that Microsoft developed this operating system at least three months before the release time to communicate with computer manufacturers, test, etc.  , that is to say, Microsoft will be able to come up with a mature operating system around May 1995 at the latest. It is more likely that mature technology will be available around March.  Around the release of Windows 95, Microsoft began to lay out its plans in 1994, such as wap.

    According to Chu He's estimation, it will take about thirty months for Great Wall to come up with a mature operating system, that is, around January 1995. Although it seems to be earlier than Microsoft, it will take two to three months.  , simply not enough to seize the market.

    Moreover, great www.jtxsk.comdows 95 stimulates Microsoft's research and development. Once such a behemoth is running at full speed, Liu Xun has no chance of winning.  Moreover, if that time comes, even if the technology is not yet mature, the system is still slightly unstable, and there are still many loopholes, Microsoft will be forced to release it.

    It is conceivable that if the release time is similar and there is not much leadership in technology, Microsoft will rely on its deep confidence, its position in the industry, and its long-term cooperative relationship with personal computer manufacturers to achieve success in the market.  Victory in the market is inevitable. Computer manufacturers are definitely willing to cooperate with Microsoft, and personal computer users are probably more willing to trust and use Microsoft products.

    Therefore, if you want to defeat Microsoft in one fell swoop, you must have enough advance time. You must be able to lead Microsoft by at least half a year. This will give Liu Xun enough time to make arrangements and allow computer manufacturers to ignore Microsoft's market.  Use market share and influence to choose great wall products.

    According to Liu Xun's estimation, Microsoft may have been able to come up with less mature technical solutions in early 1995. In other words, it is best to have Chu He come up with mature technical solutions in June 1994.  system, and grset wall still needs enough time to go to public relations, contact computer manufacturers to complete testing, etc. What Microsoft can complete in three months will take at least four to six months for great wall.  It takes months to complete these preliminary preparations and then release the product.  Even in the early days, huge amounts of advertising expenses were continuously invested in order to inform the market.

    "Sister Chu, how can we speed up the progress?" Liu Xun looked at the budget in front of him and frowned hard, "I mean, I hope to come up with a mature technical solution before June 1994, so that it is more convenient.  Just let the market operate.¡±

    "Six months in advance?" Chu He also frowned. She didn't understand why Liu Xun was so urgent. Six months, in the thirty-month research and development time, accounted for one-fifth. That's not  A short period of time is not something you can save just because you want to. Moreover, according to her estimation, even if Microsoft wants to come up with a mature solution, it will not be until 1995. There seems to be no need to be too impatient.  This is the gap between pure technicians and professional managers. She thinks more from the technical field. Chu He can't think much about business operations. She just thinks that it will be better to be ahead of Microsoft. As for how much ahead  , it is impossible to estimate it at all.

    After frowning and thinking for a moment, Chu He finally spoke, "It's not impossible, the key depends on how much money Young Master Xun is willing to spend."

    Chu He said and looked at Liu Xun with a half-smile, "According to the previous budget, the entire research and development can be completed with only about US$700 million, but since Mr. Xun wants to complete it faster and be technically perfect,  Then you can only spend money to buy time, well, you can only spend money to buy time, six months, two hundred million US dollars."
