Chapter Ninety-Five: A Magical Day
Chen Zhiyang's office location has not changed, still in the small building that is crawling with greenery and looks inconspicuous, but the interior decoration has changed a lot, the previous relatively simple beige fabric sofa has been replaced by a high-end burgundy leather sofa, and there is a single-door Xiaoice box next to it, and the wall has also changed from the old-fashioned fixed-frequency air conditioner to the imported inverter air conditioner.

When Du Qiu and Yang Fan entered, Zhong Gaoshan was wearing reading glasses, sitting on the sofa reading the speech of the press conference, he really listened to Du Qiu's suggestion, and wore a navy blue polo shirt with horizontal stripes, although it was a little old-fashioned, but it was more personal and affinable than the rest of the officials who wore white shirts.
"Xiao Du, Xiao Yang, you came just in time, I heard that Snapdragon is preparing to acquire Jinshan?
The Snapdragon management system is not perfect, except for the technical secrecy is in place, the other places are similar to a sieve, Yang Fan frowned, and said vaguely: "It's just that the acquisition intention has been preliminarily reached, and the specific terms will be discussed again." ”
"Okay!" Zhong Gaoshan patted the armrest, stood up from the sofa, and praised: "You young people are still aggressive, and it only took half a day to negotiate such a big business, if we old men go to talk, we may not be able to talk well for a week, and we will patronize eating, drinking, and socializing." ”
"The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and young people now have to do more than we did back then. Hu Yuanfei, who came to Yuncheng as mayor from other places in February this year, was also quite happy, echoed a few words of praise, and then said: "Jinshan is one of the most well-known software companies in China, and if it can settle in Yuncheng, it will be a major benefit to the software park project." How much money do you need for the acquisition? If you have any difficulties, the city will come forward to help you find a bank loan. ”
Du Qiu still has some otaku thinking and doesn't like to find bank loans, but Yang Fan is very financially aware and said: "The amount has not yet been determined, it is about 20 million, if the city can help support some of it, it would be great." ”
"It's only 20 million?" A secretary who was sitting at Chen Zhiyang's desk to change his speech was very surprised, and looked up and questioned: "I read the report that Jinshan sold 30,000 sets of WPS software last year, each set was priced at 2,200 yuan, and the sales were as high as 66 million yuan, and you can buy them for 20 million?"
Zhong Gaoshan took off his reading glasses, pointed at Du Qiu with his glasses with his glasses, and asked, "Xiao Du, what's going on?"
"The 66 million mentioned in the report is the sales of WPS software and Founder Hanka bundled together, of which Founder Hanka accounts for the majority, and WPS's revenue is not much. In order to successfully acquire Jinshan, Du Qiu did a lot of homework, explaining: "Hanka belongs to the products that have been eliminated by the times, Giant Group has stopped doing it, Lenovo also stopped the production line last year, and the inventory was all emptied, only the Founder family is still doing, and there are no competitors, but the sales in the first half of this year are only one-sixth of last year, and the decline is very obvious." ”
"I see. ”
"Then wouldn't it be a loss for you to take over now?" The secretary glanced at Hu Yuanfei, who was sitting across the desk, and said, "I know that Hanka and WPS are two different things, but if there is no Hanka, who will buy genuine WPS? ”
"Software and hardware are different, after the completion of research and development, the cost of sales is very low, if it is not bundled with Hanka, the price of WPS can be reduced to 200 yuan or even below 100 yuan, but the profit can remain unchanged, now the country is vigorously supporting the national software industry, and is also vigorously promoting office informatization and automation, I think government departments and state-owned enterprises should not use piracy in order to save 100 yuan or so much, right?"
"Xiao Du, Xiao Du, you are catching our government's wool!" Zhong Gaoshan smiled, and said after teasing: "Mayor Hu is right just now, the acquisition of Jinshan is a major benefit to the Cloud City Software Park project, and good things come in pairs, or will it be announced at the press conference?"
"Secretary Zhong, I don't think it's good not to announce this matter to the public for the time being. Yang Fan put on a professional posture and persuaded him: "First of all, we have not signed a formal contract with Jinshan, and there are certain variables; secondly, today's press conference has arranged a lot of content, if it is increased, the media may ignore some important information in order to save space when reporting; third, people are easy to forget, and the software park is a long-term project, every once in a while to release a major benefit, than to release all the benefits at one time is better." ”
"It's worthy of the top talent from McKinsey, insightful, then listen to you. Zhong Gaoshan sat down on the sofa again, patted the vacant seat next to him, and said with a pleasant face: "Xiao Yang, come and sit down, help me review the speech and see what needs to be changed." ”
Hu Yuanfei motioned to the secretary to move a chair, put it next to the desk, and said to Du Qiu: "Xiao Du, you can also help me look at the manuscript, especially the technical content, don't make mistakes and make jokes when the time comes." ”
The press conference in the afternoon, there are two main contents, one is the software park, and the other is the official website of the cloud city, which is presided over by the first and second leaders of the cloud city respectively, but the people who cooperate with Snapdragon are just the opposite, Du Qiu assists the second in command, and Yang Fan assists the first leader, the reason why this is the case is because the two sides have different perceptions of these two projects.
After a few months of tossing, the official website of Cloud City has already changed greatly, and it is no longer the static pages that were originally designed, but under the guidance of Du Qiu, it has been transformed into a comprehensive website that provides many information such as local economy, culture, entertainment, food, etc., as well as related BBS discussion areas, and the name is also officially set as "Cloud City Hotline", instead of the previous vague official website of Cloud City.
The cloud city hotline is not Du Qiu's initiative, he just advanced more than a year in advance, the late 90s to the Pujiang hotline as the representative of the concept of the city information port out, this kind of website audience is relatively small, the competition is not for those large portals for the national netizens, but because of the down-to-earth, local characteristics, very favored by local governments, in 20 years, up to the municipality, down to the poor county, each place has a similar website, the name is called xx hotline.
Although government officials do not understand technology, but understand politics very well, the concept of "city information port" is not only easy to understand, but also in line with the strategy of science and education, so it is very sought after after being proposed, even if Chen Dayou opened his mouth, the construction budget was changed from 100,000 to 1 million, and a series of other expenses such as technical training and operation and hosting were added, still could not stop the enthusiasm of the cloud city government, and the funds were approved very happily.
This kind of comprehensive website, than a few static web pages of leadership resumes is much more complicated, trapped in the hardware performance and network environment in 1995, the cloud city hotline is very simple, but there is already a prototype of the future portal, so in Du Qiu's view, it is far more important than the software park, but also more historical significance.
However, in the eyes of Zhong Gaoshan and other bureaucrats, the information port is just a gimmick for propaganda for the sake of publicity, and the software park is a real sweetheart, which can not only get the achievements of promoting local economic development, but also have the reputation of vigorously developing high-tech industries, and involve the interests of infrastructure, real estate, investment and other aspects.
In fact, the speech of the press conference has been communicated in several meetings, and there is not much to revise, and the meeting is just a temporary cramming, going through the motions, and it will soon be over, and after Chen Zhiyang called to inform him that everything was ready, he drove to the multi-functional academic lecture hall of Sanjiang University.
The official car of the Yuncheng government is the Toyota Crown purchased at the end of the 80s, the condition of the car is a little worse, Zhong Gaoshan did not take his own car, but got on Yang Fan's Lexus with Du Qiu, on the way he asked: "Xiao Yang, your car is really good, it is very comfortable to sit on, and the equipment is quite high-end, compared with Xiao Du's car, which is more expensive?"
"Of course, Mr. Du's is expensive, my car is only priced at $36,000 in the United States, and Mr. Du's car is priced at $95,000, which is not a grade. ”
Zhong Gaoshan was taken aback and asked, "The interior of Xiao Du's car is not as good as yours, and the space is not as spacious as yours, why is it so expensive?"
"My car pursues high performance, and Mr. Yang's car pursues comfort, with different emphases and different strengths......"
From Chen Zhiyang's office to the academic lecture hall, it is necessary to pass through the audio-visual education building of Sanjiang University, when Du Qiu popularized the knowledge of performance cars and luxury cars to Zhong Gaoshan, Du Chunhua met the person he was destined to meet in a classroom in the audio-visual education building.
