Du Qiu stayed in Beijing for more than a month last year, not only moved his residence from the Kempinski Hotel to the top floor of the International Trade Center, but also transported the Bentley convertible sports car he bought in Silicon Valley back to China as a means of transportation, so when he arrived on the afternoon of December 28, Du Chunhua drove this car to pick him up.

In addition to Du Chunhua, Liu Yunlai also drove his Mercedes-Benz, and after meeting, he explained with a smile: "Your sister doesn't know much about the road conditions in the capital, and I happened to be fine in the afternoon, so I came over to be a navigator." ”

After the Internet conference, Snapdragon set up two branches in Beijing, one is the R&D department, which is in charge of Li Jianhua, whose main business is to maintain electronic tax calculation software and research and development of derivative financial software, and the other is the Ministry of Commerce, which is responsible for Liu Yunlai, whose main business is business negotiation, government public relations and marketing.

Since the concept of smart city was proposed, there are a lot of government public relations things, especially at the end of the year, Liu Yunlai can't pick up the airport for such a simple reason, Du Qiu knows that he must have something very important to talk about, so he pushed the boat down the river and said: "That's right, Bentley is a two-door four-seater car, five people are a little crowded, I'll take your car." ”

Liu Yunlai did have something, and as soon as he got in the car, he gave Du Qiu a folder and said: "The content of Yan Shengrong's work after graduating from university is confidential, and I can't find out, so I only checked some of her family situation and usual life through neighbors." ”

"I don't need to check the confidential, I just need to know her basic situation, so as not to be blackmailed. Du Qiu opened the folder and saw that the first page was Yan Shengrong's father's information, and said: "No wonder Yan Shengrong has a fear of flying, her father died in a plane crash?"

"Well, in 1983, the flight from Guicheng to Beijing hit a military plane during takeoff, and 11 people were killed, including Yan Shengrong's father. ”

Du Qiu took a closer look and found that this was the case, Yan Shengrong's father was the first batch of financial elites sent abroad for further study in 1978, and he was less than 40 years old when the plane crash occurred, and he was already a deputy department-level cadre of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, with a bright future.

originally thought that this woman was a legend of grassroots struggle, relying on beauty to get to Wei Baoguo, and relying on scheming and hard work to climb the class, but now looking at her family background, the situation does not seem to be the case......

"Wei Baoguo has made wealth investments for some domestic families in Switzerland, and Yan Shengrong's father works in the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, have the two of them known each other for a long time?"

"Quite possibly. Liu Yunlai shook his head and said: "The people who were able to invest abroad in the early 80s had a very simple background and cared about secrecy. ”

The second and third pages of the folder are the information of Yan Shengrong's mother and younger brother, one is an ordinary woman who works in the neighborhood committee of the street, the other is a student who is still studying in the university, there is nothing special, and the fourth page is Yan Shengrong's information, the content is very small, in addition to the resume of the student days, there are only some life information such as "enthusiastic and sincere", "sister and brother have a good relationship", "talented and intelligent", "like to drink coffee".

"She married an old man like Wei Baoguo at a young age, and the neighbors still have such a good evaluation of her?"

Yan Shengrong has helped the neighbors a lot in recent years, and it is said that Wei Baoguo married in order to repay his kindness after being paralyzed by a stroke, so the neighbors are very sympathetic to her. ”

"It's really interesting. Du Qiu closed the folder and said with a smile: "Initially, you said that Wei Baoguo had a stroke shortly after she got married, and then you said that Wei Baoguo had a stroke on the night she got married, and now it has become that she married after Wei Baoguo had a stroke." ”

"Mr. Du, it's not that I'm not doing things badly, it's that there are too many rumors. Liu Yunlai also smiled and said: "This kind of family privacy from a few years ago is not clear to Wei Zhiming, and we outsiders don't know what the truth is." ”

"Yes. Du Qiu guessed with the heart of a villain and said: "I think that the rumors you said may have been deliberately released by Yan Shengrong to increase his charm and legend." ”

"Probably. ”

After chatting about Yan Shengrong's gossip, neither of them spoke again, there was a brief cold scene in the Mercedes-Benz, and after a few minutes, Liu Yunlai turned the steering wheel, stopped the car on the side of the road, unbuckled his seat belt, turned back sideways and said: "Mr. Du, there is something I have to discuss with you." ”

"You say. ”

Liu Yunlai rubbed his head with the palm of his hand, looking in a dilemma, and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Shaojie's family wants me to go into politics." ”

Du Qiu was mentally prepared for this, and said: "This is a good thing, congratulations to Brother Liu." What is the title?"

"In order to guide the construction of the smart city pilot, a national Internet development and management office will be established soon, and the CNNIC we engaged in during the Internet conference will be incorporated into the department. Liu Yunlai saw that Du Qiu did not object to his resignation, his expression was obviously relaxed, and said: "I am a journalist, and I know some Internet knowledge, so I have a great advantage in competing for this CNNIC director." ”

The smart city is no longer a butterfly wing, but the wings of the golden-winged Dapeng, and the storm is fierce enough, not only changing the administrative division of Cloud City, but also the upper-level institutions of the capital......

However, the inertia of history is equally strong, and CNNIC was incorporated into the system more than ten years in advance......

CNNIC is the full name of China Internet Information Center, in the time and space before the time, it was founded in 1997, and existed as a semi-official gray organization for a long time, until it was incorporated by the Cyberspace Administration of China in 2011, and in the time and space after the time, it was founded by Du Qiu and several other companies during the Internet Conference last year, and it was originally intended to develop into a guild organization like the Federation of Industry and Commerce, but it went around and around, and was actually incorporated by high-level departments more than ten years in advance.

Liu Yunlai and Du Qiu get along well, cooperate tacitly, belong to like-minded friends, he went to CNNIC as a director, so that Du Qiu has an additional spokesperson in the system who can influence Internet policy for a long time, which can be called an unexpected surprise, so he asked: "What is the level of the Internet Development and Management Office and the director of CNNIC?"

"The Network Management Office is a department-level unit, which is directly managed by the Government Affairs Yuan, and the director of CNNIC is the main department. Liu Yunlai smiled and said: "When I was a reporter at Xinhua News Agency before, in order to pull advertisements and make money, the unit gave me a fictitious position as a deputy department, and now I am using it." ”

Division-level cadres in the capital to grasp a handful, but can serve in the direct management of the government affairs agency is very few cadres, Liu Yunlai just turned 36 years old this year, behind the support of family resources, and in a high-speed development industry, the future development space is very broad, Du Qiu stretched out his hand, said sincerely: "Congratulations to Brother Liu!"

"Thank you, Mr. Du. Liu Yunlai shook his hand vigorously, and said with true feelings: "Without Mr. Du's support and care in the past year, I wouldn't have been able to get this step anyway." ”

"Why say such things, we support each other, each takes what he needs, without your help, Snapdragon would not have developed so well. Du Qiu let go of his hand and asked, "When will Brother Liu take office?"

"The network management office will be listed after the Spring Festival, and then it will be CNNIC's turn, which is estimated to be in early March. Liu Yunlai put on his seat belt again, started the car, and said: "Du is always the chairman of CNNIC, and after the Spring Festival, someone should communicate with you." ”

Because there are very few domestic Internet companies at this time, CNNIC is just an empty shelf, except for the preparation of the second Internet conference in 1996, there is almost no other work, Du Qiu, the chairman of the board of directors, has only participated in a few dinner parties in the capital, and has never done anything else, and laughed at himself: "Fortunately, you told me in advance, otherwise I would have forgotten that I am still the chairman of CNNIC." ”

Liu Yunlai smiled and said with emotion: "In addition to joining the army to fight Vietnam, I have the coolest time working in Snapdragon, in fact, I don't want to be in politics, but it's a pity that my uncle is not angry, and there is no successor to Shaojie's family, so I must be pushed out to fill the façade." ”

Sun Shaobao is in his forties, although the administrative level has reached the department level, but he has been fighting in various false positions, has not done practice, and has no real power, and his career is almost like this, and Liu Yunlai has not only received the attention of several bigwigs because of the internal reference articles of the top-level design, but also performed amazingly in the process of drafting the draft of the smart city, and has accumulated a lot of political resources.

However, in this way, there is a problem, Liu Yunlai signed a two-year work contract with Snapdragon in June last year, and there is an option award in the contract, which is worth about 28 million based on the current valuation of 20 billion companies, and if he leaves in March to become the director of CNNIC, he will not get this reward.

28 million is not a small amount, if you don't give it, it hurts your feelings, after all, Liu Yunlai has made a lot of contributions to the company, if you give it, it is suspected of benefit transfer, breaking the rules of officialdom, and it is not good for Liu Yunlai's career.

Du Qiu tapped his knees with his fingers, and after muttering for a while, he came up with a side-rubbing ball that took care of both ends, and said, "Brother Liu, since you only left in March, help me do something again." ”

"Mr. Du, you say. ”

"When I fooled you into coming to Snapdragon last year, I promised to help you build a portal that could be listed in the United States in two years, remember?"

"Of course I do. Liu Yunlai smiled and said: "Mr. Du also promised to make me a billionaire before 2000, at that time I thought it was a fantasy, I didn't believe it at all, and I asked you to take $200,000 out as collateral." ”

"That promise is still valid. Du Qiu continued to pave the way and said: "Brother Liu, any Snapdragon employee can use his spare time and the company's idle resources to start a business, if the business is successful, when he sets up his own portal, Snapdragon accounts for 80% of the shares, and employees account for 20% of the shares, you know this rule, right?"

"Of course I do. ”

"During last year's Internet conference, I founded China.com at the product promotion conference, and that's it. Du Qiu was afraid that he would forget, so he reminded: "At that time, you registered the first user with your son's nickname. ”

"Yes, Shaojie also took a few photos as a souvenir. ”

"Last year there were so few netizens that the site was frozen and not operating, and now I feel that the time is almost right to launch it. Du Qiu no longer circled with him, and said: "I am going to build this website into a leading domestic and internationally renowned news and current affairs portal, and then go public in the United States, if you want to complete this goal, you must have a strong partner, if Brother Liu can match us with Xinhua News Agency, you can get 20% of the shares of China.com." ”

Liu Yunlai heard the song and knew the elegance, and understood that this was the back road arranged by Du Qiu for him, nodded and agreed: "I'll do my best!"

"If Sister Sun is interested, she can jump ship and come to China.com as the editor-in-chief, so that I can rest assured, Brother Liu can rest assured, and the country can rest assured. ”

If Snapdragon and Xinhua News Agency joint venture, China.com will become a state-owned enterprise, Sun Shaojie goes to work here, can continue to maintain a close relationship with Snapdragon, and will not violate the relevant regulations of the state, Liu Yunlai is very satisfied with this arrangement, said: "Shaojie has long been jealous that I make more money than her in Snapdragon, and I will mention it to her in the evening to ensure that she will change jobs tomorrow." ”
