In the scorching heat of midsummer, the weather in Zhonghai is like a flowing fire cleansing the atmosphere, and there is a scene of steamers everywhere.

Flying Fish Investment Bank.

Even sitting in a cool, air-conditioned room, Figo and Howard still felt the heat of China.

At least in Los Angeles, where the West Coast Pacific monsoon blows, I have never felt that summer can be so hard.

It is also a large city on the Pacific coast, why is the difference in climate so big?

In fact, as difficult as the climate, there is also Figo and Howard's mood at this time.

The same software park investment plan, Wu Tao's side implemented, the combination is one after another, from the initial Jinling Jiangbei Software Valley project, to the Shenzhen Nanshan Software Valley project, no matter which one has a great impact at that time.

Coupled with the subsequent Internet conference, the two software valley projects soon ushered in many seed projects.

So much so that now, the discussion on the online media is still hot.

Even the official media in China plans to do a special program for this purpose.

Figo, who is accustomed to surviving in a Western atmosphere, has always stayed away from the power of the media.

Because the Western media tends to have more bad things and less posture.

Now that he has seen the situation in China, Fei Ge has discovered that Wu Tao can use it so skillfully in media publicity.

Of course, having said that, Figo also has to admit that the gap between the software park project of China Shipping and the Wutao Software Valley project is not only because of the media publicity.

To be precise, from the early stage of project planning, to cooperation negotiations, to the final landing, every step is extremely difficult.

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the Zhonghai office building, looking at the steel jungle rising from the ground under his feet, Figo was so depressed that he was not even in the mood to flirt with the blonde secretary.

There was a knock on the office door, and Figo gathered his mind, turned back to his seat, and said, "Come in." ”

Howard walked in with a solemn face with a stack of papers, "Thank God, Figo, the process of the Zhonghai Zhangjiang Software Park project has finally been completed." ”

"Thank God. Figo's white face was rarely relieved, "Next, has the project publicity plan been done?"

Howard's face instantly became solemn, "That's the problem. ”

"What's wrong?" Figo instinctively frowned.

Howard said helplessly: "According to the requirements of China Shipping, let's use the gimmick of a similar project or follow-up project in Software Valley to promote ......"

After saying that, Figo shook his head decisively and said, "This is impossible!"

"I think so too. Howard agreed: "But their analysis is not unreasonable, at least in this way, it will save us the cost of publicity, and we can take advantage of it without much effort." ”

Figo pointed to the table and emphasized: "The cost of investment cannot be saved!"

"Okay, good!" Howard immediately gave in, and then changed the conversation: "Then what kind of theme should we use to plan the propaganda in order to beat Huaxia Wu in momentum?"

Figo said angrily: "I will leave this to the planning department until I submit a publicity plan that satisfies me!"

Howard wasn't happy with the instruction, but for now, it seemed that there was only that.

"There's another problem, Figo, we have to think about it!"

"What's the problem?"

Seeing that Figo's face was already showing impatience, Howard said cautiously: "I don't know if you have noticed, the Jinling Jiangbei Software Valley project is led by Tianxing Game Company, a listed Internet company, and the Nanshan project in Shenzhen City, Tencent Company, a quasi-listed company, is the first to settle in." ”

“...... In this way, if our Zhonghai Software Park does not have the same magnitude of Internet companies to settle in, won't it be compared?"

"This ......," Figo groaned, his brow furrowed again, "this is indeed a problem!"

After a while, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and Figo said excitedly: "How about Zhonghai Bell Laboratory? This is a very influential foreign-funded enterprise in China. ”

Howard thought for a moment, but still stubbornly said, "I don't think it's appropriate, Figo." First, Zhonghai Bell is not representative of the Internet industry, strictly speaking, it belongs to the hardware field, and second, its size is not enough compared with Tianxing Game Company, and even Tencent Company. ”

"What do you mean?" Figo tossed the question to Howard.

Howard immediately suggested: "I think it's best for us to introduce one or two influential Internet software companies in China, I have checked, and there are at least two of them of the same magnitude as Tianxing Games and Tencent, Alibaba and NetEase." ”

"In that case," Figo immediately said: "Then bring in all these two companies, and we must cooperate with the unique publicity plan to make the Zhonghai Software Park project famous!"

"I hope so!" Howard was visibly lacking in confidence as he got up, "I'll do it." ”

As the first company in China to be listed on the NASDAQ, Howard has naturally heard of NetEase's prestige.

In order to revive the morale of the Zhonghai Software Park project, Howard booked a direct flight to the capital of China that afternoon and came to the Zhongguancun NetEase Building.

In the CEO's office, Ding Lei received a call from the front desk, saying that a foreigner was looking for him, and he was very surprised.

When he really saw him, Ding Lei smiled playfully, and while talking happily with Mr. Howard in front of him, he had his own calculations in his heart.

I have long heard that Wu Tao had a holiday with a few foreigners, and when I met today, I found that I felt the same way.

Obviously, I came to invite myself to join the Zhonghai Software Park project, but I just put on a domineering and high-minded appearance, and I didn't mention any specific conditions, as if inviting you was looking up to you.

Who can stand it?

In other words, someone else has the gene of 'admiring foreign flattery' in his bones, maybe without saying a word, he will fall on this foreign thigh.

However, Ding Lei was the first person to ring the bell on NASDAQ, not to mention the temperament of foreigners, at least he had a rough idea.

So much so that he has long been insensitive to foreigners.

Of course, Ding Lei has long had the idea of moving the company.

It's just a listed company, and the impact of easily withdrawing a branch is still something to consider. So what he pondered was to transfer NetEase's core R&D department to the Shenzhen market, after all, there is a Nanshan Software Valley there, and the timing is just right.

What's more, it was Wu Tao's project, as long as he didn't want Apocalypse Investment to sell his stocks wildly, he would never be stupid enough to cooperate with Howard in front of him.

It wasn't until Ding Lei expressed his meaning completely that Howard was stunned on the spot.

This Chinese man actually rejected himself!

This is so unreasonable, so ignorant, how can it be justified?

Even so, Howard was still planning to make a last-ditch effort, and he felt that there was still a chance that this matter could be saved.

"Mr. Ding, allow me to repeat it. If your company settles in China Overseas Software Park, we will provide unique preferential conditions, and in the future, NetEase will be able to develop into a more global impact with the help of the cutting-edge platform of China Overseas, an international city. ”

“...... Moreover, the China Overseas Software Park project is essentially the same as the Jinling Software Valley project and the Shenzhen Software Valley project. The treatment you enjoy over there will only be better in China Overseas Software Park. Trust me!"

Ding Lei stood up, "Howard, I'm sorry we can't cooperate. As for the reason, I will only say one sentence, Apocalypse Investment holds more than 20% of NetEase shares, and I can't risk ......"
