Chapter 101: Fools and Excuses
Zhong Gaoshan held the mouse in a very awkward posture, clicked randomly on the White House website for a while, then stood up and said: "Xiao Du, you come and tell us how these websites are built, of course, if it involves your company's trade secrets, then don't talk about it." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"It's not hard to build a website, it's not a secret. ”
Since Du Qiu decided to train employees by teaching by word and deed, of course, teaching tools such as whiteboards and pens are indispensable in the warehouse, and there are many, there are 5 whiteboards, he asked Yuan Tiangang to move all 5 whiteboards to the middle of the warehouse, lined up, and then with the theme of "how to design an official website of the cloud city government", to popularize Internet knowledge to this group of bureaucrats.
Zhong Gaoshan only listened for a while, and felt that Bai Yuquan was right, Du Qiu was not good at communicating, but he was very good at talking about technology, and when he treated people, he either didn't speak, or he spoke hard, and he offended several people after a while, but when he explained technology, he told it eloquently and explained it in simple terms, even people like him, who had almost never touched a computer, could understand it, and listened to it with relish.
To sum up, the official website of the Yuncheng City Government has been built, which includes the above five columns: Entering the Cloud City, the Window of Leadership, Investment Guide, Institutional Setting, and Government Affairs Policy. Du Qiu drew a picture while explaining, drew 5 pages on 5 whiteboards, and then put down the pen and said: "This is just my personal temporary design as an example, if Secretary Zhong really wants to build a website, you can find some experts to research and discuss before making a decision." ”
"When it comes to building websites, there is no better one in the whole Cloud City than you. Zhong Gaoshan re-read the content on the 5 whiteboards with great interest, and then nodded approvingly: "Xiao Du, I read a lot of reports before that you are a genius, and you have never believed it, and now you can't believe it, you can think about things so thoughtfully, rare, rare!"
Bai Yuquan was quite excited, rubbed his hands and asked, "Mr. Du, how much does it cost to build a website like this?"
"I don't know in China, but in the United States, a page costs about $1,000. Du Qiushi opened his mouth and said: "This is only the price of a static page, and the price of a dynamic page is about 2,000 US dollars, and this is only the cost of designing a web page, not including other costs such as server, bandwidth, and domain name registration." ”
"So expensive?!"
"There are very few people who know this technology now, so the labor cost is very high, and after a few years, it will be cheaper if there are more people who learn it, maybe you can do it for a few tens of dollars. Du Qiu took the water cup handed over by Jiang Danfeng, and said lightly: "Scarcity is expensive, not only technology, but also websites, if only Yuncheng has an official website in the country, it will definitely cause a sensation, maybe even foreign media will come to report, but if you do it in a few years, every city in the country will have an official website, and the effect will not be as good as it is now." ”
"10,000 years is too long, seize the day, Xiao Du's words are reasonable. Zhong Gaoshan nodded again and again, and asked, "Xiao Du, can you help us calculate how much budget will be needed to build the entire website?"
"I don't know about this, I'm engaged in technology, I don't know much about business things, and I heard Mr. Chen say those prices just now when I went to the United States a while ago. Du Qiu took advantage of the time to drink water, glanced at Jiang Danfeng, and said: "I'm just the CTO, the CEO of the company is Chen Dayou, he is in charge of business affairs, and he is still in the United States, so he is very familiar with the market over there." ”
"What does CTO mean?"
"The CTO is the chief technology officer, and the CEO is the chief executive officer, which is what everyone in the United States calls them, which is equivalent to the general manager in China. Jiang Danfeng and Du Qiu cooperated very tacitly, and after explaining the noun softly, he reminded: "Mr. Du, it is more than 7 o'clock in the evening in the United States, and Mr. Chen should not have rested yet, so it is better to call and ask." ”
"You fight. ”
"You can make international calls here?"
"Yes. Jiang Danfeng picked up the telephone on an empty table, dialed San Jose's phone, talked to Chen Dayou in English, and then pressed the speakerphone, held it in front of Zhong Gaoshan in a very elegant manner, and said, "Secretary Zhong, you can tell him personally." ”
Zhong Gaoshan enjoyed her preferential treatment very much, took the phone with a smile, and said: "I am Zhong Gaoshan, the secretary of Yuncheng, Mr. Chen, you ......."
"Alas, Uncle Zhong, don't tease me, when I went to pay you New Year's greetings a few years ago, didn't you always call me Xiao Chen?"
There are countless people who pay New Year's greetings to Zhong Gaoshan every year, and I don't remember whether Chen Dayou has paid New Year's greetings for a long time, but when he said this, he felt very embarrassed, so he touched his chin and said: "Okay, Xiao Chen, that's the case, I'm going to your company today to ......."
When everyone gathered around the telephone and listened attentively to Zhong Gaoshan's call, Du Chunhua quietly touched Du Qiu and asked in a low voice, "Little brother, those foreign orders?"
Du Qiu smiled and didn't say anything, just made a gesture of pressing the calculator, Du Chunhua glanced at him, and said in a smaller voice: "No problem, right?"
"It's just a few numbers, what's the problem. ”
The thinker'notebook website is real, Du Qiu deliberately made it, and posted it on the Internet on April 30, her mother's birthday, and brushed her the title of CEO of China's first shopping website, but in fact, this website has been online for three days, and only dozens of users who have stumbled in by mistake have browsed it, and they can't buy anything at all, because there is no buy button on the page, only a contact information for agents.
In 1995, the domestic infrastructure was still relatively backward, railways, highways and air transportation were not developed, the logistics industry had not yet risen, and there was no complete credit card system like the United States, it was difficult for sellers to mail, it was difficult for buyers to pay, and there was no soil for B2C shopping websites, so they could only do B2B business, and overseas customers, if they only sent a few copies at a time, the cost was too high, and they could only make a small profit, which was of little significance.
Yesterday, after Du Chunhua received the notice that the secretary of the municipal party committee wanted to visit the company, he immediately called Du Qiu and told him, and Du Qiu told Chen Dayou when he replied to the email, Chen Dayou felt that this was a rare business opportunity, so he called in the middle of the night and asked Du Qiu to take out the shopping website as a pretense, forge a few dazzling data, and then use "attracting foreign investors to invest in Yuncheng" as a selling point, fooling the municipal government to build a website, and make a lot of money from it.
This guy is really ruthless, Uncle Zhong kept shouting, but the price was black-hearted, and he asked for 20,000 US dollars when he opened his mouth, which scared Zhong Gaoshan a lot, and said that it was too expensive, so Chen Dayou changed the currency to RMB, and after some bargaining, it was reduced to 100,000 yuan, and then it was not lowered.
"Xiao Chen, you get a feasibility report and fax it back, and I'll take it back for a meeting to discuss it. ”
"No problem, I'll write it. ”
After chatting about the website, Du Qiu struck while the iron was hot and introduced the company's R&D plan for office software, as for the operating system and database, he didn't say much, because it was too professional, and it was in vain that these people couldn't understand.
If the construction of a website makes a group of bureaucrats think about it, then they are overjoyed to do office software, because this thing is not only very profitable, but also very valued by the state, Jinshan Company, Sitong Lifang, Giant Group are all dependent on it to make a fortune, many national leaders have visited and inspected these enterprises, which can not only create economic highlights, but also show their faces in front of the leaders, which belongs to the fragrant dumplings in the fragrant dumplings, and no one dislikes.
"Xiao Du, your company came to settle in Yuncheng, our municipal party committee and municipal government are very welcome, and also attach great importance to it, if there are any difficulties or difficulties in the future, call me directly, if you can solve it in the morning, it will never be delayed until noon, and if it can be solved in one day, it will never take two days!"
"Thank you, Secretary Zhong. ”
Zhong Gaoshan spent a morning in the warehouse, even eating lunch in the canteen of the research institute, and did not leave until about two o'clock in the afternoon, and after the bureaucrats left, Du Chunhua sat in front of Du Qiu's computer, flipped through the shopping website several times, and asked: "Little brother, do you think there will really be foreigners who come to us to place orders through this website?"
"Now there are tens of thousands of websites around the world, and if you want foreigners to know about this website, you have to spend money on advertising, otherwise others don't know the URL, how can they find you to place an order. ”
"How much does it cost to advertise?"
"Look at the country, I think this kind of text-based notepad may be popular in RB, and I'll help you advertise it when I go there later." ”
Du Chunhua's expression moved slightly, and asked: "When will you go to RB I applied for a visa in the capital last time, but I was denied, and now I am busy during this time, and I will try it again in June and July." ”
"Do you want me to come with you?"
"What should I do if you leave? Wenxiu can't take care of it alone, let's go over together when the company's business stabilizes in the second half of the year or next year. Du Qiu delayed the time and said casually: "Maiko said that the place where I used to live was completely destroyed by the earthquake and fire, and now it has been rezoned as a park, I will go to pay respects and come back in two or three days." ”
"Oh well. Du Chunhua was silent for a moment, and then asked, "I heard Danfeng say that you are going to Thailand in a few days?"
"When I came back from the United States, I read a travel magazine on the plane and thought Thailand was a good place to visit for a few days. Du Qiu sat next to his mother, and while flipping through the documents, he said in a casual tone: "The company has recruited a lot of new people, and it will be very busy for a while in the future, so I plan to go over to relax for two days on the weekend, and then work wholeheartedly." ”
"It's okay to go play for a few days, take Danfeng with you, and have someone to take care of. ”
"Let's talk about it. ”
