"Xiao Chen, but I think, if he wants to do it, let him do it, although we are also the major shareholders of Aniu Company, but speaking of which, Penguin Technology is ours, and we are the largest shareholder. If Penguin Tech can take out Ah Niu, it won't hurt us. Hu Jianqiang thought about it and said.

"But the problem is, it can't be done at all. ”

"How do you know you can't kill it?" asked Hu Jianqiang in surprise.

"I ...... I have a specialization in the art industry, and I don't think I can do it at all. Hu Mingchen was speechless all of a sudden, and he could only make nonsense to perfunctory.

It is impossible for Hu Mingchen to tell the third uncle Hu Jianqiang, this is a fact that actually happened and exists, and it is impossible for Hu Mingchen to tell Hu Jianqiang that Penguin Technology's investment in the field of e-commerce ended in complete failure two years later, losing a lot of money in vain and wasting a group of talents.

However, when Hu Jianqiang asked him like this, Hu Mingchen had one more thought. It is not easy to explain that Hu Jianqiang is obedient, let alone to convince Ma Jiahao, you must find a proper reason, otherwise, Ma Jiahao is also a stubborn person, and what he wants to do, I am afraid that it will not be so easy to shake.

On the night of the Labor Day holiday, Hu Mingchen and Hu Jianqiang went to Zhennan, and they bought a ticket to Pengcheng early the next morning, so as not to rush to Zhennan early.

Hu Mingchen went to Pengcheng this time, not as quietly as before, he greeted Ma Jiahao in advance, so Hu Mingchen got off the plane at the airport and took the car arranged by Ma Jiahao to pick up the plane and went to the city.

"Mr. Hu, do you want to go to the company or the hotel first, Mr. Ma has already arranged the Sophie Hotel for you in advance, which is next to the company. After the vehicle drove out of the airport parking lot, Vice President Hou Yongli, who came to greet him, asked.

"After a few hours of flying, let's go to the hotel first. ”

"Driver, drive directly to Sophie Hotel. Hou Yongli ordered the driver.

"Mr. Hou, I haven't seen you for a while, and you are getting more and more energetic. Hu Mingchen, who was sitting in the back, and Hou Yongli, who was the co-pilot, chatted.

This time, Hu Mingchen and the others came with four people, so Ma Jiahao arranged two cars to greet them, Hu Mingchen and Hu Jianqiang sat in the front car, accompanied by Hou Yongli in person, and Wu Huaisi and Fang Guoping sat in the back car.

Since the Gongfuli Company was completely transferred to Luo Haocai, Fang Guoping returned to Hu Mingchen's side, while Kong Linglong did not and continued to be in Zhennan.

Wu Huaisi himself spends two-thirds of every month in the company, and when he encounters the May Day holiday, he goes to Zhennan on a business trip. As Hu Jianqiang's assistant, he really needs to be more familiar with the company's business scope.

"Hehe, Mr. Hu, compared to it, you are the real spirit, I just hold it up. Hou Yongli turned his head and looked at Hu Mingchen with a smile.

"Hard support, Mr. Hou, why do you say this, is it that Mr. Ma is not good to you?"

"That's not it, we started a business with Mr. Ma, so naturally it won't be like that. It's just that there were dozens of people in the company before, but now the company has developed to thousands of people, and there are more and more departments, more and more detailed. Hou Yongli explained.

"This is inevitable, it shows that the company is developing rapidly and developing well. I think that no matter how tired and hard you are, it is worth it and happy. Didn't you think that when you started your business, you would be in the current situation?"

"Seriously, I really didn't think about it at the time, but I trusted Ma Jiahao at that time, so as soon as he invited, everyone did it. At that time, I didn't dare to think that the company would become so big in a few years. Hou Yongli waved his hand and said sincerely, "Speaking of which, this is also the future you drew at the beginning, when you said how the company will be in the future, I am not very convinced, sure enough, your vision is really ahead of us." ”

"Mr. Hou, no wonder Mr. Ma let you be in charge of administration, your boastful kung fu, even if you know it's fake, it's comfortable to listen to. ”

"No, no, no, Mr. Hu, what I said is true, definitely not a sycophancy, Mr. Hu, do you think that's the case? I think Mr. Hu can understand my mind. Hou Yongli hurriedly waved his hand to deny it, and then pulled Hu Jianqiang.

"Haha, Mr. Hou, don't say you didn't dare to believe it at the time, I'm pretty much the same. Hu Jianqiang said with a smile.

"Mr. Hu, look, Mr. Hu and I both feel the same way, so I am seeking truth from facts. ”

"Even if you are telling the truth, but it is not so evil, the one who is really in front is the Ma family's Hao Ma Zong, he was able to put forward that idea at that time, and pull you to implement it, it is really far-sighted and far-sighted. By the way, Mr. Hou, if Penguin Technology wants to develop the e-commerce sector, should it set up a separate branch to do it, or should it list a department to do it?" Hu Mingchen looked at the rows of industrial roads outside the car window.

"We have had two meetings to discuss this, and so far you have both of these ideas, but Mr. Ma tends to set up a separate company to operate. He had already asked me to select two floors on the side of the Development Bank to set up "Paipai.com", where the company should be located. Hou Yongli replied.

"Pat the net, the action is very fast, Mr. Ma has even thought about these details. ”

In fact, this idea has been brewing in Mr. Ma's mind for more than half a year, and he has always wanted to enter this field, but he felt that the time was not yet ripe. Hou Yongli replied.

"Does he think the time is now?"

Mr. Hu...... Do you think the time is not ripe?" Hou Yongli did not answer Hu Mingchen, but asked a serious and cautious rhetorical question.

"Timing-wise...... I do think there are still some problems, and I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, and that's what we're here for. Hu Mingchen pondered the wording and replied solemnly word by word.

Hou Yongli adjusted his sitting posture to make it easier for him to look at Hu Mingchen and Hu Jianqiang: "Mr. Hu, tell me, why is this opportunity inappropriate?"

In addition to being an executive of the company, Hou Yongli is also one of the shareholders of the company, and several of the veterans who founded the company have received certain shares, so he is naturally concerned about the company's future and business development.

"This issue, when I meet Mr. Ma, it is best if he can gather a few of your high-level leaders, and we can discuss it well. Hu Mingchen did not immediately explain to Hou Yongli.

Hou Yongli nodded, and the atmosphere in the car fell silent.

More than 40 minutes later, the two cars drove into the parking lot of the Sophie Hotel, and Hou Yongli personally sent Hu Mingchen and them to the room to settle down before leaving.

"Xiao Chen, you were in the car just now, why did you talk to Hou Yongli about that in advance?" After Hou Yongli left, Hu Jianqiang asked Hu Mingchen.

"What? You think I shouldn't say it?"

"It's not, it's just that you told him the purpose of your visit, and after he leaves, he will definitely report to Ma Jiahao immediately, and then you want to convince Ma Jiahao, won't it be more difficult?"

"Actually, even if I don't say it, Ma Jiahao must know the purpose of my coming, but he may not have told Hou Yongli about them, and I said it first, it was with the help of Hou Yongli and them. Now Hou Yongli is definitely going to Ma Jiahao, and it may be better for them to have a discussion. Hu Mingchen stood in front of the window, looking at the busy street outside.

Now Pengcheng is in the middle of summer, and the young men and women on the street are all dressed coolly, rushing back and forth, and everyone is working hard to make the city Pengcheng speed.

When he was about to get off work in the evening, Ma Jiahao came to the Sophie Hotel, but he didn't seem to be depressed or discouraged, as bright as before.

He first invited Hu Mingchen to have a meal in the hotel restaurant, and then personally sent Hu Mingchen and Hu Jianqiang back to the room.

"Mr. Ma, on May Day, everyone is on holiday, why do you still work overtime?" Hu Jianqiang poured a cup of tea for Ma Jiahao and asked casually.

"Mr. Hu, it is the employees who are on vacation, we are hard-working people, there is no holiday, the more a large number of employees are on vacation, the more we have to stare at, a company like ours, the service can not have any interruption, otherwise the blow to us will be fatal. Ma Jiahao got up slightly, thanked him and took the teacup.

Ma Jiahao is telling the truth, Internet companies, online services are 365 days a year, 24 hours a day. The number of users is so large, even if it is only disconnected for a minute, it will have a big impact.

"Mr. Ma, I see that you have put forward a plan to build a new company headquarters, have you chosen the address?" asked Hu Mingchen.

"After choosing, we found Pengcheng City**, they are very supportive of our development, and gave us a piece of land on the edge of Pengcheng Avenue in Haibei District, and we have commissioned a Dutch company to design for us, and the new company headquarters will be in that location. Ma Jiahao replied.

"The location is good, the transportation is convenient, and it belongs to the high-tech gathering area, close to Pengcheng University, which is very good. Hu Mingchen nodded.

"It's just that the construction of the company's new headquarters may cost more than one billion yuan, and when the time comes, I will make a statement to you, the major shareholders, and the company's board of directors will also need to approve it. ”

"There is no problem on our side, the company has developed to the current scale, and Penguin Technology is a high-tech Internet company for the world, and it is necessary for the company's headquarters building to be grand and functional. Moreover, it is reasonable that if the company continues to grow at the current rate, it may need a second headquarters or even a third headquarters in the future. Hu Mingchen agreed.

"Thank you Mr. Hu for your support to our work, we haven't thought that far ahead for the time being, let's build the headquarters building that we are planning now. Besides, our request to the Dutch design company was that the headquarters building should be able to accommodate 6,000 people, and basically all the existing employees could be moved in, so I am afraid that there will be no need for a second headquarters in the short term. ”
