When Du Qiu was despised by Jennifer and unreliable, Ma Yun was having dinner with a group of netizens who had met in the past two days in a small restaurant near the Guangming Cinema, he studied teacher training in college, and after graduation, he worked as a teacher in Hangcheng Institute of Electronic Science and Technology for nearly 7 years, he was very eloquent and very talkative, but today he was a little silent, he spoke very little, and he didn't drink much wine, so he seemed to be preoccupied.

Ma Yun's wife Zhang Ying also came to Yuncheng, and after finishing eating, after boarding the bus that took netizens back to the hotel, she asked, "Still thinking about what Du Qiu said yesterday?"

"Yes, the products released by Snapdragon in the morning have greatly lowered the technical threshold for web page production, and it is estimated that it will not be long before many companies will appear competing with our Chinese Yellow Pages. The bus was a little stuffy, Ma Yun didn't rest well last night, and he felt dizzy, so he rubbed his temples with his thumb and asked, "Do you think Du Qiu was casually talking about playing yesterday, or do you really want to invest in us?"

"I think Du Qiu is a very strict person and doesn't joke casually. Zhang Ying handed him the iced Coke in his hand and whispered: "I have inquired, Du Qiu attaches great importance to personal privacy, and even few internal employees of Snapdragon know his mobile phone number, but he told you and me yesterday afternoon, and let us contact him after we think about it, so I must really want to invest." ”

Ma Yun hummed, leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes and sighed: "I also think he really wants to invest, but the problem is that I don't know how much he wants to invest." ”

Zhang Ying was silent, she knew that her husband was very angry, a few months ago, despite the persuasion of relatives and friends, he gave up the iron rice bowl of drought and flood to ensure income, and resigned to run the company full-time, just to do his own business, and now he is just on the right track, and he is about to make a profit, but he was slapped by Snapdragon and faced a dilemma, which is really unwilling.

Ma Yun has always been very business-minded, as early as a few years ago in his spare time to open a Haibo translation company, at the beginning of this year to take over a business, accompanied government officials to Los Angeles to implement a highway investment, although not negotiated, but in a friend came into contact with the Internet, eye-opening, in March after returning to China resigned from the school, in April scraped together to borrow 100,000 yuan, the Haibo translation company changed to Haibo computer service company, in May began to sell the Chinese Yellow Pages, a 3,000-word homepage, plus a photo, the fee is 20,000 yuan, of which 12,000 to the American production company, they do not earn much, and subject to people, it is difficult to develop and grow.

Therefore, Ma Yun came to Yuncheng to participate in the Internet conference this time, the purpose is very simple, and it is also very shabby, that is, to recruit one or two talents who understand web page production and improve the company's efficiency and profits, but what he saw and heard after arriving in Yuncheng made him shocked and worried, and realized a huge sense of crisis.

Surprised because there is no one who can make web pages in Hangzhou, Snapdragon has almost every employee, even the front desk lady knows how to make web pages, which shows that Snapdragon's technical strength far exceeds that of its peers, and it is difficult to compete with it;

So Ma Yun's mood has been very depressed in the past two days, feeling that the future is very bleak, not to mention recruiting talents, and even having the intention of closing the company, until yesterday afternoon I met Du Qiu in a classroom at Sanjiang University, and after chatting with him for a few minutes, I rekindled hope.

"The traditional way of printing the yellow pages can only introduce the contact information of the enterprise, very rough, and the Internet can be real-time detailed display of the details of each product of the enterprise, Jiangsu and Zhejiang have a developed private economy, there are thousands of small companies and thousands of small commodities, it is certainly not cost-effective to build a website alone, you can change the focus of China's yellow pages from the introduction of enterprises, to introduce products, to make a comprehensive trading website for wholesalers and buyers across the country. ”

Ma Yun is a talented person, a little through, immediately found that this is a big business opportunity, but the trading website is far more complex than the static web page, both capital and technology are far beyond Haibo's current ability, and Du Qiu wants money and money, technology and technology, the difference in strength between the two sides is too great, once he accepts his investment, he will inevitably lose the company's dominance and become a subordinate worker, but if he does not accept his investment, he will lose an excellent entrepreneurial opportunity in vain, so it is difficult to choose.

"Hey, Jiang Danfeng is also on this bus? She came this way, as if she was looking for you. ”

"Looking for me?"

Ma Yun opened his eyes and saw Jiang Danfeng holding a very fashionable and expensive Ericsson GSM straight phone, greeting netizens with a smile, while walking through the narrow aisle of the bus, coming to him, and saying: "Mr. Ma, Mr. Zhang, Mr. Du asked me to ask, how did the two of you think about the matter we talked about yesterday afternoon?"

Yesterday afternoon, when the exchange was exchanged, Jiang Danfeng was also present, probably due to scruples, and said a little vaguely, Ma Yun didn't expect Du Qiu to come to the palace so soon, he was very surprised, fortunately, his decisiveness was very good, he was still hesitating just now, but at this time he made a decision instantly, and after glancing at his wife, he said: "It is our honor to cooperate with Mr. Du." ”

"That's great. Jiang Danfeng nodded with a smile and informed: "At half past two in the afternoon, there is an Internet business exchange meeting in the conference room of the Snapdragon headquarters, if you two are free, you can go and listen to it." ”

"Okay, we'll be there on time. ”

According to the schedule of the Internet conference, on the afternoon of August 20th, except for a few sporadic small activities such as the finals of the algorithm challenge, there is no other arrangement.

Because the press conference ended very late, it was already 1:40 at this time, Ma Yun and his wife took the bus back to the hotel and didn't take a rest, hurriedly took a shower, changed into more formal clothes, and then took a taxi and went straight to the Snapdragon headquarters.

In 1995, Yuncheng's GDP ranked 90 in China, and it was one of the most shabby provincial capitals, even the second ring road was not repaired, the urban area was very small, and the distance between Guangming Cinema, Pearl Hotel and Snapdragon headquarters was very close, only a few minutes by car, so it was just after 2:10 when Ma Yun and his wife arrived.

This day is Sunday, because there is air conditioning, computers and networks in the office, so many Snapdragon employees choose to work overtime in the company, the atmosphere is more relaxed than usual, some people code words, some people chat, some people play games, some people watch movies, it seems very lively, but because the two came early, the conference room was empty, only a dozen identity cards were placed on the table.

"Professor Qian Tianbai of Beijing Institute of Computer Application Technology, Qian Hualin, researcher of Computer Network Information Center of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Professor Lin Jintong of Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Sun Shaobao, Director of the Ministry of Electronics Industry, Chen Zhiguang of Sanjiang Provincial Institute of Posts and Telecommunications Technology, Li Lijun of Pengcheng Telecom New Technology Center, Liu Ping of Huawei's New Business Department, Zhang Shuxin of Yinghaiwei, Wan Pingguo of China Network, Wang Peng of Xunye Financial Network......"

Zhang Ying looked at the identity cards one by one, and wondered: "Didn't you say that there were so many government officials and technical experts?" ”

"These may be signs from yesterday's meeting, right?"

Just as the two were guessing, a guy with glasses, yellow and thin face, as if he hadn't seen the sun for many days, walked into the conference room and beckoned, "Teacher Ma, Teacher Zhang, come so early? ”

Ma Yun and his wife came to Yuncheng on the morning of the second day, they came to visit the Snapdragon headquarters, at that time the focus of the two was the web design department, and many employees had communication, so I knew this person, I knew that his name was Yuan Tiangang, and he was one of the first people Du Qiu knew after "returning to China" from Dongying, and he was also the first university intern to join after the establishment of Snapdragon, and now he is the deputy manager of the web design department, and he is responsible for demonstrating web design software at the press conference in the morning.

"Manager Yuan, we also have identity cards?"

"Yes, Mr. Du just called me to do it. Yuan Tiangang put the several identity cards he was holding on the conference table and said with emotion: "I have held dozens of meetings here, and it is the first time I have my own identity card. ”

Ma Yun looked at the identity card and saw that the titles of himself and his wife were the general manager and deputy general manager of Haibo Computer Service Company, and there was no problem, but Yuan Tiangang's title was no longer Snapdragon's position, but "General Manager of Netconstruction Technology Company", so he asked: "This Netconstruction is a newly established subsidiary of Snapdragon?"

"No, it's a new company that I started with a few colleagues. ”

Ma Yun and his wife were surprised, and asked almost in unison, "You resigned from Snapdragon?"

"Actually, it's not a resignation, it was Mr. Du who asked me to go out and start a company. Yuan Tiangang had bloodshot eyes, and it seemed that he didn't have a good rest last night, but his expression was very excited, and he was surprised to see Ma Yun and his wife, so he explained with a smile: "Mr. Du is different from other bosses, he is very generous, he has specially set up an investment fund to support Snapdragon employees who have technology, ideas and courage to go out and start a business, and I am the first guinea pig to be an experiment." ”

Ma Yun never thought that there were bosses in the world like Du Qiu who didn't need money, gave away technology for free, and invested funds casually, so he didn't know what to say, Zhang Ying picked up the identity card and looked at it, and asked: "How much did Mr. Du invest in starting this network construction?"

"1 million. ”

"Wow, that's so much, how do you divide the shares?"

Yuan Tiangang did not hide it, standing next to the water dispenser at the door of the conference room, while pouring water, he introduced: "Mr. Du takes 80% of the shares, and my three colleagues and I don't have to pay money, but we take the remaining 20% of the shares with technology and manpower, but Mr. Du said that he only makes financial investments and does not participate in the daily operation of the company, so he gave us an extra 30% of the voting rights, so that we can decide the development strategy independently, unless there are major differences or conflicts, he will be the master." ”

Ma Yun's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Aren't stocks all one share and one vote, and how is this voting right divided?"

"The specific division has not yet been decided, if Mr. Ma is interested, he can have an interview with Mr. Du. Yuan Tiangang handed the poured water cup to Ma Yun, and said with a smile: "Snapdragon has held seven or eight meetings in the past few days, and only the identity cards of Mr. Ma and Mr. Zhang were personally called by Mr. Du to make them, which shows that Mr. Du attaches great importance to you, and maybe we will communicate with you later." ”
