On Monday, May 29, at 4:30 p.m., all the top executives gathered for the first time in the Snapdragon headquarters in the heart of the city to prepare for a future development strategy seminar in the conference room. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Xiao Wu sat at the large conference table, slapped his hands on the thick and smooth table like a drum, and said, "Oh my god! I finally have the feeling of a high-income elite white-collar worker." ”

Qin Mu, who was standing at the window and smoking with Li Jianhua, looked down at the surrounding buildings, and also showed a hesitant expression, and said: "Climb high and look far, relaxed, or comfortable, the office environment is much better than the warehouse of the institute." ”

Gao Mingda still looked low-key and introverted, and said humbly: "I want to exchange with you, the warehouse is lively, I am deserted here, and if you want to find someone to talk to, you have to call." ”

Xu Yongrui held the back of his head with both hands, sat on the chair in a chic and uninhibited manner, drove the back of the chair to shake up and down, looked at the reception lady who was probing his brain outside the glass door, and said: "Vice President Gao, you have a good eye, the recruited employees are quite beautiful, pink and delicate, compared with the northern girl, there is a unique style." ”

"Lust!" Xiao Wu turned his head to look at it, pouted and said, "Sister Qin, you said that if this guy goes to the United States, how many lawsuits will he suffer every year because of ******?"

Wei Zhiqin glanced at Xu Yongrui a few times, and said with a smile: "It is estimated that there are more ******, California has an open atmosphere, there are many old beauties who like men, and Xiao Xu's thin skin and tender meat are their favorite type." ”

Xiao Wu laughed, Xu Yongrui laughed embarrassedly, stood up from the chair on tiptoe, leaned over to Qin Mu and asked for a cigarette, and then swallowed the clouds and spit out the fog.

Snapdragon currently only has 8 senior employees with a salary of more than 10,000 per month, in chronological order, Wei Zhiqin is the seventh, Gao Mingda is the eighth, she deliberately came back from the United States, on the one hand, to report to Du Qiu how to upgrade and plan the server of the North American branch next, on the other hand, she wants to meet with those employees of the same level, contact feelings, because if Snapdragon develops smoothly, these people will inevitably be in charge of one side, and it is important to have a good relationship before they have a career.

Gao Mingda also had the same thoughts, so after sending Brad Silverberg to Big Peach Tree Village last night, he left the Mercedes-Benz, and he left with Jiang Danfeng, and did not participate in the party, not because he was an outsider, but because he wanted to feast Wei Zhiqin with Qin Mu and others, and it was far more important to wash the dust for her than to make soy sauce in the boss's family banquet.

Chinese are the best at talking about feelings at the dinner table, Wei Zhiqin is bold and unpretentious, and Qin Mu is a classmate, and Jiang Danfeng is an old acquaintance, under the guidance of the two, he integrated into the team in one night, and everyone is familiar, talking and laughing, very compatible, even Mune people like He Lixing can chat a few words.

After chatting for a while, they saw Du Qiu and Chen Dayou walking in side by side, Jiang Danfeng and Zhou Yuan following behind, so they stood up and returned to the conference table with a cigarette, ready to start a meeting.

"There are just a few of us, and we can all sit casually. Du Qiu casually greeted, sat down at the host seat at the top of the conference table, and went straight to the point: "The topics related to Microsoft have been boiling these days, and everyone must be very concerned, let Mr. Chen introduce it to you first." ”

Chen Dayou sat in the first seat on the right hand side, introduced the general framework of the cooperation plan, and then concluded: "4 million US dollars is certainly worth being happy, but the main harvest is the technical support provided by Microsoft, Qin Mu, you deal with the related work of electronic technology software as soon as possible, and then pick a few employees with a good foundation to receive training from Microsoft in the United States with Mr. Du." ”

Microsoft was in full swing in the 90s, and it can be said that it is the holy land that all programmers in the world yearn for, Qin Mu was very excited, rubbed his hands and asked, "When will Mr. Du go to the United States?"

"This plan is still only an intention, and it has not really been signed, so it is uncertain now. Du Qiu was a little uneasy, and said to Zhou Yuan: "Zhou Yuan, you spread the news of the cooperation with Microsoft as soon as possible, so that they can't regret it, they can only finalize this matter." ”

He accentuated his tone on the words "reach cooperation", Zhou Yuan understood and assured: "Mr. Du rest assured, I have already passed the anger with Brother Liu, and this news will definitely be in the heavyweight newspaper tomorrow, in this way, Du Jiabin will definitely go all out to promote cooperation after returning to the capital for his dream of being president." ”

Brad Silverberg does not understand Chinese and has no connections in China, and hurriedly came to China to find Du Qiu, and must need a trustworthy person as a translator and staff officer, there is only one such person, that is, Du Jiabin, the general manager of Microsoft's Beijing office, so before Zhou Yuan left Silicon Valley, he first made a phone call to Liu Yunlai, an old acquaintance of Xinhua News Agency, and asked him to help inquire about it.

Du Jiabin graduated from Taiwan Chiao Tung University, worked in the Industrial Technology Research Institute, known as the engine of Taiwan's semiconductor industry, for two years, and then went to Hewlett-Packard to work for more than ten years, and made a lot of achievements in product sales, marketing and marketing planning, after Bill Gates visited China in March 1994, he wanted to establish a Microsoft (China) subsidiary, and urgently needed a senior management talent who was familiar with China's political and business environment, so he was poached from HP through headhunting.

The general manager of Microsoft's Beijing office and the first president of Microsoft (China), a fool also knows that these two titles are not the same, so Du Jiabin is very enthusiastic about it, but he has been busy for more than a year, people have seen countless people, and he has drunk countless times, but there is no progress, because the middle and lower-level bureaucrats can't figure out the legal red line, and the senior leaders can't get in touch, so they can only go around in circles in the same place, and there is nothing to do.

After Zhou Yuan learned about Du Jiabin's predicament from Liu Yunlai, he decided to start with him, first persuaded him, and then influenced Silverberg through him, Du Jiabin used to study electronics, and later changed his career to management, he knew little about the Internet, and he also didn't know the importance of the browser, and felt that this was a win-win cooperation, which could not only solve the trouble of windows95, but also be used as a stepping stone to contact the top of the government。

Once the cooperation agreement is published in China's official authoritative newspaper, if Microsoft repents, it will be tantamount to a naked slap in the face, and the establishment of a wholly-owned company will definitely be in vain, so after Du Jiabin returns to Beijing, he will definitely do his best to promote the signing and implementation of the cooperation plan.

"Reporter Liu has helped a lot this time, you discuss with Manager Gao and choose a suitable gift for him as a thank you gift. ”

"I don't need a gift, Brother Liu wants to ask Mr. Du to help him staff and get a plan for Internet new media when he goes to the capital next time. ”

"That's fine. Du Qiu agreed and said, "Before I go to the United States, I will go to the capital first." ”

Xiao Wu was a little curious, and gossiped: "Zhou Yuan, you Brother Liu seems to have a lot of background, what is your background?"

Zhou Yuan picked up the cigarette case that Qin Mu had placed on the conference table, and said while lighting a cigarette: "Brother and Mrs. Liu's grandfather used to work in the Propaganda Department, and he was a senior official at the deputy ministerial level before he retired. ”

"It turned out to be a son-in-law party who borrowed his wife to take the throne. ”

"Not really, Brother Liu is a capable person. Zhou Yuan defended his friends and said: "When he got married, the old man had already retired, people went to tea and cool, there was no real power, only some personal relationships remained, and everything else had to rely on himself, so Brother Liu has been running around in the past few years, going to Hong Kong and going to the frontier, just to do a career and raise the level by actual performance." ”

Xu Yongrui has been busy developing web design software these days, and his understanding of the Internet is deeper than others, so he raised his hand and asked: "Mr. Du, will this new browser be owned by Microsoft in a year, will it become a strong enemy of iView? Microsoft has a lot of money, but it is not an ordinary company." ”

"If you compare the Internet to water, the browser is the container for water. Du Qiu picked up the pure water that the front desk lady had placed on the conference table in advance, and said by analogy: "Now the Internet is equivalent to a bottle of water, I handed Microsoft a 500ml bottle, which can barely fit it, and by next year, the Internet has become a pond, this bottle is congenitally insufficient, no matter how it is modified, it can't hold the water of the entire pond, so there is no need to worry." ”

Xu Yongrui suddenly said with a smile: "No wonder Mr. Chen added a penalty for breach of contract to the agreement, why don't we take a gamble and see if Microsoft will terminate the cooperation a few months in advance." ”

Xiao Wu seemed to be very unhappy with him, and immediately said-for-tat: "I'll bet with you that Microsoft will terminate the contract 3 months in advance." ”

Wei Zhiqin also followed suit and said: "Microsoft will not be so sluggish, I bet that it will be 6 months in advance, so that I will have another $3 million to buy servers." ”

According to the cooperation plan, the cooperation between Microsoft and Snapdragon began on August 24, 1995 and ended on August 24, 1996.

Li Jianhua's business sense was relatively sluggish, and he asked: "Why do you want to do so much trouble? Just open a high price and sell the browser to Microsoft." ”

"In the past few years, there is a popular saying in the domestic manufacturing industry, you should have heard, it is better to buy than to build, and it is better to rent than to buy. Du Qiu unscrewed the bottle cap and took a sip of water, explaining: "Microsoft has the browser we provide, it will not go all out to develop its own browser, only thinking about waiting for the end of the cooperation, and then improve it after getting the source code, and time waits for no one, and the technology after a year is already a world of difference." ”

He pointed to Xu Yongrui and said: "Manager Xu should have a deep understanding that the HTML language is very chaotic now, there is no unified standard, and the browser of Netscape and our iView browser are not compatible in many cases, and it is a headache when doing web design." ”

Xu Yongrui nodded in agreement.

"The main goal of our partnership with Microsoft was to suppress Netscape and force them to accept the HTML standards we had developed. Du Qiu showed a smile of conspiracy and tried, and said: "Now the content and display of files on the Internet are mixed together, and it is very troublesome to design and maintain, and I also need a typesetting language that works with HTML, this language I am designing, and it will be launched in August next year." ”

Wei Zhiqin knocked on the conference table with a bottle of pure water and teased: "Qiqi always says that Chen Dayou is a bad uncle, I think Mr. Du, you are the real bad uncle, full of bad water, bad and boundless!" (To be continued.) )
