Chapter Ninety-Three: The First Man to Go to the Path

Du Cunzhi's life is very regular, completely in accordance with the Ministry of Education's recommended schedule for primary school students, every day in the summer at 12:30 noon nap, 2 o'clock on time to get up, when Du Qiu finished taking a bath, he also happened to wake up, energetic came out of the bedroom, asked: "Xiaoqiu, what time do you have a press conference in the afternoon?"

"3 o'clock, in the multi-functional academic lecture hall of Sanjiang University. Du Qiu wiped his hair with a towel and explained: "This press conference was held by the city government, and I went to be a commentator to introduce several new technologies used in the design of the official website of Cloud City.www.biquge.info ”

"I read in the newspaper that there were a lot of reporters coming to this press conference, and some of them came from foreign countries?"

"The city spent money to invite a few American reporters to come over, purely for faΓ§ade and international influence, and there were also a few Hong Kong and Taiwan reporters who joined in the fun. ”

Du Qiu said very plainly, in fact, not all the foreign reporters who came to Yuncheng this time were window dressing, otherwise Zhong Gaoshan would not be nervous, and called him early in the morning to consult about dress.

In June, the Yuncheng government approved hundreds of thousands of funds to Chen Dayou, asking him to find a way to promote the official website of Yuncheng, Chen Dayou originally planned to find a few miscellaneous reporters or fake reporters in the United States to go through the motions, but after Netscape went public, Snapdragon became the sweetheart of the Silicon Valley venture capital industry, attracting some really influential media attention, and I don't know how he fooled, in addition to the professional IT magazines such as "Wired" and "Red Herring", he also put the "Wall Street Journal" and "Time Magazine" headquartered in Hong Kong The Asian edition reporter got to Cloud City.

Although it is only the Asian version of the reporter, after all, it is a sub-journal of the world's top media, so the official attaches great importance to it, when Du Qiu explained the Poxes algorithm at the Snapdragon headquarters, Zhong Gaoshan and a group of bureaucrats were entertaining these reporters, as for what kind of entertainment method, he didn't know.

In addition, Dongying's very influential national newspaper "Nikkei Shimbun" also sent two reporters over, and these two reporters also brought a translator, who was an old acquaintance Aiko Komatsu, this person's identity was suspicious, and his intentions were unknown, Du Qiu was afraid that Du Cunzhi would be cranky, so he didn't mention it much.

Du Chunhua is very sociable, from the family members of provincial officials to the aunts who set up stalls on the street, they can get along well, so they are very well-informed, and they know that the Dongying reporter is coming for Du Qiu, but she didn't say anything, and interrupted: "Dad, didn't you make an appointment with Chen Xinmin? Call him and let him go with us in my brother's car." ”

"Okay, I'll fight now, you and Xiaoqiu will coax the words. ”

"I'll just coax it alone, little brother, you go down first and turn on the air conditioner in the car, otherwise it will be stuffy and hot, and I can't stand it." ”

The little kid is getting more and more spoiled......

When your mother is not at home one day, you must train and train well......

In the 90s, there were very few private cars, and parking could be done everywhere in the community, Du Qiu's BMW was parked in the shade next to the flower bed downstairs, and after he sat in and turned on the air conditioner, he called Jiang Danfeng and asked her to send someone to the door of the library of Sanjiang University, and then he would lead his grandfather and mother to listen to the lecture.

Jiang Danfeng was very busy over there, this time there was no long-distance flirting, he hung up the phone after answering the official call, Du Qiu turned on the car radio, and only listened to a few words of the song "Dream Water Town", and saw Chen Xinmin coming over with his son Chen Yuanqi.

"Du Qiu, came back at noon to rest, I thought you were so busy today that you didn't even have time to drink water. ”

"It's busy, I'm sweating, so I'm back and take a shower. Du Qiu turned his head to say hello to Chen Yuanqi and asked, "Qiqi, have you finished reading the C language book?"

"I've read it, but there are a lot of things I can't understand. ”

"It's okay, you practice your hands with the knowledge you can understand, and if you don't understand, let it go first, and I'll teach you when I'm free after a while." ”

"Thank you, Uncle Du!"

Chen Xinmin was very satisfied with his son's performance, and said with a smile of relief and hope: "Qiqi, this kid is very interested in programming, those videos you give to employees, I will be sleepy after watching them for a while, he just finished watching them, more serious than watching Jackie Chan's movies, but the content is too deep, he can't understand it, and the whole thing is swallowed." ”

"Those tapes are for people with foundations, Kiki is still young now, a little bit of a sprout, I used to teach myself, and one day I will sort out some of my thoughts and print a copy for him. ”

"Oh, Du Qiu, you are more interested in Qiqi than I am as a father, I don't know how to thank you......"

Chen Xinmin is the neighbor who benefited the most after Du Qiu's crossing, Snapdragon purchased millions of electronic products from him, often came to provide after-sales service, the relationship was already very iron, after saying a few words of thanks, he changed the topic and said: "Du Qiu, your speech in the morning was really wonderful, and I want to change careers to do Internet business." ”

"You went to the convention center in the morning, too? Why didn't I see that?"

"No, business in the store has been booming recently, and I can't leave at all, if I didn't want to take Qiqi to listen to lectures and increase my knowledge, I wouldn't have time to come back in the afternoon. Chen Xinmin rubbed his son's head before explaining: "I opened the Internet for my family a few days ago, and I saw the speech on your company's BBS at noon. ”

Under the strong supervision of the provincial and municipal governments, Yuncheng finally officially opened the Internet access service on August 12, Chen Xinmin belonged to the first group of netizens to eat crabs, Du Qiu heard the words and asked: "How is the Internet used?"

"It can only be described by two idioms, one is eye-opening, and the other is spending. Chen Xinmin laughed and said: "The Internet fee is too expensive, it only cost more than 300 yuan after only 4 days of opening, Qiqi's mother is now frightened when she hears the cat meow, and she is asking me if I have pulled out the cat line in my dreams at night." ”

"20 dollars an hour?"

"If you count the phone bill, it's more than 20, I originally thought that my business was already very dark, but I didn't expect the post and telecommunications bureau to be even darker!" Chen Xinmin sat down in front of him, wrapped his hands on the pillows of the front seat, and asked: " Du Qiu, you said in your speech that the computer market will develop rapidly in the next few years, I also think so, now electronic accessories are standardized, compatible machines and brand machines are no different in quality, but brand machines are much more expensive than compatible machines, and the profits are also high.

Du Qiu briefly listed 10 companies with a market value of more than 1 billion in the next 5 years in the morning, among which the hardware was only mentioned, and he didn't say much, but he didn't expect Chen Xinmin, who didn't go to the scene, to be bewitched, and admired his sense of smell and courage, and asked with a smile: "Brother Chen, do you want to do a big deal of 1 billion?"

"I don't have as much ability as you, I don't have the luxury of 1 billion or anything, but a manly man, you always have to have a little fighting spirit, and you can't always think about your wife and children. Chen Xinmin seems to have thought about it, and said with a clear mind: "At present, there are dozens of computer brands in the country, and there is no one in Sanjiang Province, if I get it out, the government should have a lot of preferential policies, after all, computers are also high-tech products, and now 486 has begun to be eliminated in big cities, but there are still many business opportunities in second- and third-tier cities, if the price is lowered, I estimate that it should not be a problem to sell 10,000 or 20,000 units a year." ”

"How many computers can you sell a year now?"

"Last year, we sold a total of more than 200 486 units, and this year, thanks to you, I got a few big orders, and now we have sold more than 700 units, and there are nearly 300 Pentium machines. ”

This business is worthy of being one of the most business-minded in the neighborhood......

With sales more than 5-fold in less than a year, it's no wonder the ambitions are high......

In the original time and space, Chen Xinmin had a lot of assets, and there were five or six houses alone, but he was definitely not a big entrepreneur, Du Qiu didn't know what he could do, and after pondering for a while, he asked: "What was the national computer sales last year?"

"About 650,000 units. ”

"What are Lenovo's sales?"

In the mid-90s, the computer market was the world of foreign companies, accounting for more than 70% of the domestic share, Chen Xinmin did not expect Du Qiu to ask neither HP nor IBM, but asked Lenovo, and after a while, he said: "They seem to have sold more than 40,000 units, and they are the only domestic brands in the top five sales lists." ”

It only sells more than 40,000 units a year? This is too shabby, you must know that in 20 years, Lenovo can sell more than 4 million computers a month......

The market potential is huge, but the competitors are still very weak, and they can be tossed and tossed, anyway, even an otaku like himself who has no talent for business can become a billionaire, what else is impossible?

At present, Snapdragon's electronic tax calculation software lacks hardware cooperation, and the majority of profits are taken away by Founder, and the operating system department is seriously understaffed, so it can only focus on the research and development of the server field, but the future will definitely develop towards the PC side......

At this time, Du Cunzhi pushed open the security door, Du Chunhua walked out of the staircase with the sleepy-eyed Lin Jinyan, Du Qiu no longer pondered, and said: "Brother Chen, I am in software, I don't understand the hardware business, but sooner or later, the computer will enter thousands of households like a TV, if you want to do it, I can provide some financial support, and nothing else can help." ”

"Okay! With your words, my heart is at ease. Chen Xinmin is a resolute person, said: "Next month, I will go to Zhongguancun and Pengcheng to investigate, and then get a plan out, if you think you can, we will build the brand at the end of the year at the latest." ”
