Chapter 20 Tempting Conditions
When Du Qiu saw Liu Yunlai for the first time, he felt that he was more like a man carrying a gun than a pen, and he really guessed correctly. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Liu Yunlai was born in 1960, after the turmoil, he participated in the first and second college entrance examinations held in the winter of 1977 and the summer of 1978, but they all returned home, because the family was poor, there was no condition to continue to repeat, so he simply went to join the army, not long after joining the army, a self-defense counterattack against Vietnam broke out, he performed well in the war, and made a personal second-class meritorious service, if he was not shot and wounded when he retreated back to China, maybe he is still developing in the military system.
After the end of the war, Liu Yunlai was recommended to go to university as a combat hero, and after graduating in 1984, he joined the work and was assigned to the "People's Liberation Army Daily" After seven or eight years of hard work, he has reached the peak in the journalist industry, and there is no way to enter, and if he wants to achieve something, he will either transfer to do management work, continue to develop in the system, and climb to the position of president or editor-in-chief, or transfer to do commercial work, go to a subsidiary of Xinhua News Agency as a manager, and climb to a position such as the CEO of a state-owned enterprise.
However, now Du Qiu has given a new choice, that is, to cooperate with Snapdragon, use the network resources accumulated when he was a reporter, set up his own business, start his own business, and develop in the direction of a business leader with a lot of money.
Liu Yunlai is a very adventurous person, otherwise he would not have joined the army back then, let alone risked his life to make war exploits, but he never considered leaving the system before, because it is good to enjoy the shade with his back against a big tree, and under the golden sign of Xinhua News Agency, it will be easier to do anything than others, and it has become a habit over the years, but Du Qiu only used one sentence to shake the deep-rooted thinking.
"With Xinhua News Agency, you will always be just a wage earner, and with Snapdragon, when the 21st century comes, you may already be a big boss with assets of more than 100 million dollars. ”
Assets over 100 million US dollars......
It only takes four or five years......
Although the future is illusory, no one can guarantee that he will make a lot of money, but Liu Yunlai is moved, as a descendant of a farmer with a very ordinary family, married to the daughter of a high-ranking official and noble family, he has suffered a lot of cynicism over the years, especially the relatives and elders on the wife's side, almost never take him seriously, and the pressure and resentment accumulated over the years are about to drive people crazy, just like a gambler who has lost a red eye, and wants to turn over by gambling.
Liu Yunlai talked with Du Qiushen in the Beijing Hotel for an afternoon, and returned home after dinner, although he was resentful of those relatives and elders, but he and his wife Sun Shaojie respected each other like a guest, and the relationship was very good.
Sun Shaojie is also a media person, working as the chief editor of "Science and Technology Daily", and the press release that Snapdragon cooperated with Microsoft was arranged by her, after listening to it, she frowned and asked: "Du Qiu is a technical genius, but how can he guarantee that you will succeed in starting a business? Especially what kind of portal, not even the United States, can really be done in China?"
"You have also read the dozen or so articles written by Du Qiu, you should know that he is right, the speed of information dissemination on the Internet far exceeds that of traditional media, with the reduction of computer prices, there will be more and more netizens, and then news websites will definitely replace newspapers. Liu Yunlai pillowed his head with his hands, lying on the bed with his back facing the sky, and said: "Now there are more than 30 million netizens in the world, and the growth rate is getting faster and faster, and it will definitely exceed 100 million in three or five years. ”
"Theory is theory, and reality is practice. Sun Shaojie said while cleaning up the closet: "Those more than 300000 netizens are abroad and do not understand Chinese, and the total number of netizens in China is at most 120,000, and the year of the monkey can only reach millions." ”
Du Qiu also said that the current conditions for building a portal in China are not yet mature, and he asked me to go to Snapdragon to help him work for two years, and then invest in helping me open my own company after two years. ”
"Isn't this an empty glove white wolf?" Sun Shaojie snorted and said with some disapproval: "At this time two years later, who knew that his Snapdragon was still gone. ”
Liu Yunlai had a gunshot wound in his left shoulder and couldn't bear the weight, he turned over and lay on his side, took advantage of his head with his uninjured right hand, looked at his wife's beautiful posture, and said: "In addition to Snapdragon, Du Qiu also has some private investments in the United States, totaling about $3 million, and he is willing to take $200,000 to help me register a company first, and then operate it after two years." ”
200,000 US dollars is not a small amount, and it is sincere enough to use this as collateral, Sun Shaojie restrained his casual attitude, turned around and asked, "Are you sure he has so much money?"
"Du Qiu called me in front of me to confirm that the investment account was opened at Morgan Stanley, and Morgan Stanley, a company as big as Morgan Stanley, would not help him lie. ”
"What did he ask you to do with Snapdragon?"
Senior Vice President, responsible for image and commercial promotion. Liu Yunlai was quite satisfied with Du Qiu's offer, and said with a smile: "There are two options for salary, one is an annual salary of 1 million, no options, and the other is a monthly salary of 10,000 4, but after two years, you can get at least 200,000 US dollars in options, commissions and bonuses will be discussed separately, and you don't need to go to Cloud City, just work in Beijing." ”
"He's a generous man. Sun Shaojie was also quite satisfied with this offer, nodded, and asked, "Isn't Zhou Yuan responsible for this kind of work?"
"If I go, Zhou Yuan will be responsible for the promotion of iView browser, the business focus is in the United States, and I am responsible for the promotion of the company's other businesses, mainly in China, without conflict. Liu Yunlai turned over and sat up, ambitious planning said: "Electronic tax software and office software are products with very good market prospects, government procurement is very large, Snapdragon is now in the limelight, it is not difficult to promote it at all, help them work for two years, the commission should be able to get a lot, and when the time comes, you will have the principal to open a company, so you will not be a small shareholder to help people work." ”
Sun Shaojie was not as optimistic as him, and said with some gains and losses: "Luck, you have to think clearly, Snapdragon has only been established for a few months, and the ability to resist risks is very poor, no one knows how long they can live, and if you resign, the hard work of the previous seven or eight years will be in vain. ”
These words not only did not extinguish Liu Yunlai's fanaticism, but instead stimulated his ambition, and he questioned in a deep voice: "Is my ability not as good as Zhou Yuan? After this kid resigned, he didn't just jump around, and he didn't see anyone give him a cold eye!"
After many years of husband and wife, Sun Shaojie of course knew her husband's knot, so she slowed down her tone and said softly: "Yunlai, I liked you back then, just because you have the courage to do things, you dare to do things, you are stronger than those gentlemen, you are willing to go out and start your own business, of course I support it, but resignation is not a trivial matter, you think about it for a few more days, don't make decisions impulsively." ”
"I know. Liu Yunlai was very grateful for his wife's thoughtfulness, leaned over and held her hand that was folding clothes, and said: "Du Qiu will go to the United States in a few days to help Microsoft develop a browser, and he invited me to go over for an investigation, and he is responsible for air tickets and accommodation." ”
"This Du Qiu really spared no expense in order to recruit you. Sun Shaojie broke free of his hand, folded the clothes and put them in the closet, and said: "Since the little trickster was born, the two of us haven't traveled together for several years, so why don't I go to the United States with you, and it will be a vacation." ”
"You're going too, what about the little trickster?"
"Just let my sister take it for a few days. Sun Shaojie smiled and said: "The last time you went to Yuncheng to interview Du Qiu, you couldn't give up after you came back, what portal did you talk about all day long, this time Du Qiu came to the capital, you didn't even want a job, if I don't pay attention, you may not even want a wife and children after you come back from the United States."
