Everyone thought Wang Lin would put forward very harsh conditions.

Who knows that Wang Lin only has one requirement.

"I will talk about your rights first. I will provide you with the venue, funds, raw materials required for your research and development, and provide you with personnel, factories, and your salary. It is calculated based on the salary of executives of the top ten companies in Silicon Valley. Let me talk about my requirements: all your research results belong to the company."

Strictly speaking, the requirement put forward by Wang Lin cannot be regarded as a requirement.

Because according to the provisions of the Patent Law, if an employee has an agreement, the patent for an in-service invention is subject to his/her agreement. If there is no agreement, it belongs to the official invention and the patent right belongs to the unit.

Often, inventions and creations made by employees during their duties or mainly completed by using the company's material and technical conditions during their employment are generally considered inventives and creations. If the employee does not have a clear contract agreement with the company, the right to apply for and ownership of the patent belongs to the company.

It should be noted that patent rights are different from copyrights. Patents need to be authorized through application, while copyrights can be obtained automatically.

In practice, different results will be produced regarding the ownership of patents and copyrights based on whether there is a clear contractual agreement between employees and the company.

Regarding the application and ownership of a patent, if there is no contract agreement between the employee and the company, the relevant patent rights often belong to the company. Of course, the employee has the right to be instructed by the inventor. Unless it involves non-official inventions and creations, the patent rights belong to the employee himself.

Regarding the ownership of copyright, if there is no contract agreement between the employee and the company, the copyright often belongs to the employee himself. Unless there are some special job works, such as computer software and other job works that are mainly created using the unit's material and technical conditions and are responsible for the unit, the copyright is enjoyed by the unit, but the employee has the right to sign.

Wang Lin didn't care about anything else, what he was most concerned about was the ownership of patent rights.

So his only requirement is to sign an agreement with his employees that the patent rights belong to the company.

With this agreement, the patents invented and created by employees during their employment belong to the company. If they break up in the future, there will be no too much controversy. Even if they are sued, Wang Lin can win the agreement.

Wang Lin is also generous. The salary he offered them directly compares the salaries of executives in the top ten Silicon Valley companies!

Driven by such interests, even if the top ten companies in Silicon Valley poach people, it will be difficult to leverage them.

Lu Hongyan and others agreed happily without any hesitation.

They are all young people who have just started their own businesses. Not to mention the salaries of the top ten Silicon Valley executives, even if they have a few levels of lower salary, they will agree.

Afterwards, Cotton Boll asked Wang Lin: "How much is the salary of executives in the top ten companies in Silicon Valley? What is the income of our vice president?"

Wang Lin smiled slightly and did not answer directly.

In fact, the answer is self-evident.

Cotton boll said: "Wang Lin, is it worth it for you to give them such a high salary? How do you know that they will definitely achieve some results? What if they have no achievements? Then aren't you losing money? Why don't you provide funds and invest in their entrepreneurial team?"

Wang Lin said: "Is there no risk in venture capital? Investing in them may not be able to recover the cost. The salary I give them seems very high, but as long as they can make a few patented technologies, I will not lose."

Cotton Boll said: "I know the importance of patents, but most patents cannot be changed. There are even fewer patent technologies that can be used to make a lot of money."

Wang Lin nodded and said, "So, I will guide them in the direction of invention."

Cotton Boll said: "Indeed, direction is more important than hard work. If you walk the right path, you will get twice the result with half the effort."

Wang Lin said: "Mr. Cotton, you are the vice president of the R&D department of the headquarters, and they are also under your control."

Cotton boll said: "But, I don't understand semiconductor technology."

Wang Lin smiled and said, "You mainly do management. Of course, it would be even better if you can learn semiconductor technology. With your intelligence, what is not easy to learn?"

Cotton Bin Yanran smiled and said, "If you value me so much, then I will work hard! After returning to China this time, I will go to further study."

Wang Lin yawned again.

Cotton boll said: "Dr. Wang, can you go and have a rest?"

Wang Lin covered his mouth and smiled and said, "I have to go back to the hiatus. Why didn't you go to see the company's building with them?"

Cotton boll said: "I'm not very comfortable. Last night I was awakened until midnight. I had a very bloody dream. I dreamed that the gangsters were holding guns and sweeping at us. I and you——"

She shook her head: "Forget it, let's not talk about it. The old man said that dreams are the opposite, and we will definitely turn bad luck into good fortune. By the way, I didn't see Mr. Shen? She came to accompany me last night, and I fell asleep quickly. I don't know when she left. I didn't see her this morning."

Wang Lin said lightly: "She has something to do. OK, you can have a sleep too!"

The cotton boll nodded and stood up to see Wang Lin leave.

Wang Lin returned to his room.

Shen Xue is still sleeping.

She slept so softly, and the curves of her body were so refreshing.

Shen Xue's black hair spread like a cloud, and the mist-like pink beauty was gathered between her eyebrows and eyes.

Her face is so moist that it makes people want to touch her body temperature when they see it.

The long eyelashes hang down like the wings of a butterfly.

The cherry-like red lips are moist and pity-provoking.

The brilliant autumn sun shines on her dreamy pretty face through the curtains.

Wang Lin sat on the edge of the bed and bent down to look at her.

He gently took away the few strands of black hair that were pressed against her mouth with his hand.

She pursed her lips, as if she was still immersed in her dream.

It feels great to have her around!

"Wang Lin!" Shen Xue shouted loudly, raised her mouth, "You are back!"

Wang Lin smiled and said, "Are you not asleep?"

Shen Xue opened her eyes slightly, looked at him, suddenly spread her arms, and hugged him: "As soon as you enter the door, I woke up."

Wang Lin laughed and said, "Okay, you are cheating me!"

He used his hands to suck her itch.

Shen Xue was most afraid of itchy and immediately shrank into a ball, rolling around, begging for mercy, "Wang Lin, I won't dare anymore!"

Wang Lin was dozing off just now, but he was completely sleepy at this moment. He patted Shen Xue: "Do you still sleep? If you don't sleep, let's go out to eat something?"

Shen Xue said: "Are you hungry?"

Wang Lin said, "I spent too much energy last night and didn't eat breakfast. Aren't you hungry?"

Shen Xue said: "When you say it, I'm a little hungry, but I don't want to get up."

Wang Lin said: "Then my call to room service."

Shen Xue said: "Where is there food in the hotel for this order? Okay, I'll accompany you out to find something to eat. You can hold me up."

Wang Lin hugged her and stood up.

Shen Xue fell softly in his arms and laughed: "It's great to have you by your side!"

Wang Lin said: "To be honest, as soon as I entered the door, I saw you sleeping in my bed, and I had this idea too."

Shen Xue said: "So we have a good understanding!"

The two of them were warming up again, and then they got up to find something to eat.

The news that Wang Lin was going to open a branch in Silicon Valley spread like wildfire in the Chinese circle in the United States.

Many students who are in the United States but have Chinese hearts are willing to work for the Chinese if they are given more choices.

So, Wang Lin's actions of recruiting people suddenly became easier.

On the same day, Zhou Boqiang and Han Qingning and others agreed to a purchase and sale agreement for the branch office building.

Wang Lin will buy an office building across Apple’s street for a sky-high price of $3 million.

This transaction price, in Silicon Valley that year, was a magical big deal!

Little do we know that in twenty years, we will have to add one or two zeros to the transaction price!

Silicon Valley has only been a century of development from a barbaric land to the top of world innovation. When we review this industrial history and summarize this set of development experience, we see the synergy from individuals, enterprises, natural environment to humanistic atmosphere, from education system to commercial markets, etc.

Since the 1950s, Stanford Industrial Park has gathered talents and enterprises in the field of electronic information and communications, forming an industrial cluster and becoming an industrial training base for college technology transformation and student teachers to start businesses.

In the 1970s, Intel launched its first commercial microprocessor. Intel started out as a memory stick, and later gave up its very profitable memory stick business under the decision of its boss Moore, focused on developing microprocessors, and continued to carry out research and development. In the end, Intel successfully transformed from a memory stick company to a chip company. Later, under the catalysis of Grove's flat elite management model, Intel entered the ranks of top companies in the world.

In the 1980s, the first portable computer came out. The computer included a 4MHz CPU, as small as 5-inch display, only 65Kb of memory and a double 5- and quarter-inch floppy drive, and used assembled batteries.

From then on, Silicon Valley officially embarked on the road of rapid development.

Our enterprises have missed these development periods perfectly.

However, there are several more important opportunities and opportunities next!

That is the Internet era!

There is also the era of mobile phones!

And the mobile payment era!

Wang Lin only needs to seize the development opportunities of these eras, and his Aixu Technology will have unlimited future achievements!

After staying in Silicon Valley for a few more days, Wang Lin discovered that the people living here are actually the same as those in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen after 20 years. People here often compare with each other. Everyone compares: someone bought a school district house in Palo Alto, someone bought a second house. Compared with whom's children are good at studying, and who goes to Stanford, Berkeley, there is no end.

There are too many temptations for the rapid development of Silicon Valley, and people will inevitably become impetuous. However, Silicon Valley is still a big rural area in terms of natural environment. How many people can relax the worries and anxiety in their hearts and go outdoors to relax?

Once a person enters the city or the factory, he is shackled, like a wire nail nailed into a big machine, and he can no longer help himself!

Wang Lin and his group's inspection itinerary is approaching.

After returning to China, one thing Wang Lin had to do was to talk about cooperation with Harbin Institute of Technology!
