Packard's father always wanted packard to be a lawyer when he grew up, but the reality soon shattered old packard's hope. Packard was full of curiosity about nature since he was a child, and colorful outdoor life tempered his perseverance and quality. He loves radio, and when he was 12 years old, he had assembled a fairly sophisticated vacuum receiver tube. Since then, wireless electronic work has become packard's dream career.
After graduating from high school, Packard successfully entered the electrical engineering department of Stanford University, a long-awaited electronics mecca, with excellent results. At Stanford University, Packard not only learned knowledge from the class, but also made many like-minded friends, among which Bill Hugh Park Yung-soo was one. Their enthusiasm for broadcasting and love for nature have deepened their friendship, which is the core of their successful cooperative relationship in their career. Pacard, who is about to graduate, saw that the rapid development of the electronic market is a good opportunity to start a business, so he and Hugh Park Chung-soo decided to set up an electronic equipment company.
1939, packard and Hugh park jung-su, graduate students, decided to set up their own electronic equipment company. The company was named after them, and Hugh Park Jungsu-Packard Company was born. Today, we translate it into "Hewlett-Packard Company", and "Hewlett-Packard" has become a symbol of successful enterprises.
Hewlett-Packard Company settled in a very ordinary garage in California. At the beginning of the company, the two young people undertook a series of projects on the production of electronic equipment and achieved initial success. But packard was not satisfied. He thinks HP needs to have its own products. Packard and Hugh Park Jung Su spent a lot of energy and time studying audio oscillators. This is an instrument that generates controllable and accurate electrical signals at a predetermined frequency. After the product was successfully developed, Packard quickly applied for a patent for this product, and the affirmation from authoritative sources gave him endless motivation. After carefully studying the marketing strategy including product naming and price, relying on a short advertisement in a business magazine, orders began to flock to the struggling Hewlett-Packard Company, and its profits increased rapidly. Later, Hewlett-Packard Company slightly improved this audio oscillator named 300A and cooperated with Walter Disney Company. The deal made Hewlett-Packard famous, many companies began to order electronic equipment from them, and Disney became a long-term customer of Hewlett-Packard.
The company is constantly developing and various businesses are increasing, but Packard is thinking about the company's future development strategy. Pacard carefully improved many products to meet the needs of the war at that time, and these products were quickly applied to military departments. After World War II, with the development of the new economic cycle in the United States, HP's assets have approached the 10 million mark and become a star enterprise in Silicon Valley. Packard has also implemented an employee stock ownership plan in the company, making employees the owners of the company. Hewlett-Packard's sales and production have shown a new atmosphere, and the company's share price has also risen strongly. Packard has once again become the focus of national attention.
With the rise of HP's stock, Packard's assets have been close to 1 billion dollars. Although he has great wealth and international reputation, he is still modest. His office is located in the most remote corner of the company. Although it is very big, there is only an old desk, a couch, a coffee table and some bookshelves. It seems to be just the office of a department manager. When the roads in Silicon Valley began to be crowded with Rolls-Royce, Mercedes-Benz and Peugeot cars of tycoons, Packard still drove the old Holtz-Tornado car to and from work, just because he naturally hated boasting about wealth.
Hewlett-Packard Company in the early 1970s has developed into an international multinational company with billions of dollars in assets. Packard no longer uses a single office, but divides a big house into several offices with shoulder-high partitions, which embodies the spirit of equality of all employees and makes it easier for company members to communicate. Many people simply refer to this office model as "the way of HP". Year after year, under the leadership of HP, HP has made steady and continuous progress. Packard is also active in various charities and foundations, and people can often see him. Dave Packard, as a generation veteran of the rise of Silicon Valley, as a generation of industrial giants, as a management master, has always been respected by the industry.
