Du Qiu walked into the conference room and found that the conference table that had been disassembled during the algorithm seminar had been reassembled, wide and long in the middle of the room, and high-backed chairs were placed on both sides, although there were only about 20 people seated, it gave people a feeling of great attention and grandeur, which made him inexplicably think of the scene of Chiang Kai-shek's military mobilization meeting in the movie "Armageddon".

Jennifer took a notepad and pencil and sat by the wall behind the chair with Belle, looking low-key, but unfortunately the Chanel dress on her body and the Hermes bag next to her were too eye-catching, otherwise she really looked like a stenographer.

Yang Fan, who was sitting in the first position on the right hand side of the chairman's seat, saw Du Qiu coming in, got up and knocked on the table, and said, "Mr. Du has arrived, in order to save time, everyone is seated and ready to start." ”

After everyone was seated, Liu Yunlai raised his hand and chose a middle-aged reporter and said, "Lao Feng, you can ask first." ”

Reporter Feng is a reporter from Xinhua News Agency and a friend of Liu Yunlai, and his unit and identity are very important, so at the dinner last night, Du Qiu promised to let him be the first to ask questions, and he immediately turned on the voice recorder and asked: "Mr. Du, why did you choose to release the company's products in a free and open source form?"

"I have always believed that knowledge is priceless, regardless of nationality, class or race, and is the wealth of all people in the world, not a tool for individuals to make money. ”

Du Qiu gathered the reporters from China, the United States, and Dongying in the conference room, and asked questions and answers with every reporter, so everyone else could hear it, so he spoke very slowly, and after finishing speaking, he deliberately paused for a few seconds to give Zhou Yuan and Komatsu Aiko time to translate.

This sentence is very in line with the politically correct values of the West, those American reporters showed appreciative expressions after listening to it, and the Dongying reporters did not react, disagreeing with it, although the domestic reporters did not know what Du Qiu would say next, but because they told Liu Yunlai all the problems in advance, they knew that he would definitely not fool with this kind of fake and empty propaganda, so they seemed very calm.

"Snapdragon is a commercial company, and the natural duty of a commercial company is to make money, aren't these two philosophies in conflict?"

"Snapdragon wants to make money, I don't deny that. Du Qiu glanced at the American reporters, and then said: "On the issue of knowledge and making money, I would like to use two great figures that everyone knows as examples to specifically illustrate that these two great men are Mother Teresa and Mao Zedong. ”

"Mother Teresa's deeds must be better known than me, so I won't give many examples, I want to say that Mother Teresa began to do charity in India in 1950, serving the poor, the sick and orphans, when the average life expectancy in India was about 38 years, and now it is close to 60 years. ”

Several Western reporters were impressed when they heard this, and the reporter of the Asian edition of the New York Times deliberately said "She is great" in a voice that seemed to be slight but could be heard by everyone.

"Mao Zedong has many deeds, and I will only mention one here, that is, the barefoot doctor system he established, the barefoot doctor is a medical system founded in China in the 60s, popularizing health knowledge and providing basic medical ......services in poor and remote rural areas," Du Qiu briefly introduced the barefoot doctor system, and then concluded: "In 1950, the average life expectancy of Chinese was only 35 years, about 3 years lower than India, and now, the average life expectancy of Chinese is close to 70 years, 10 years higher than India." ”

This face hit a little fast, those Western reporters looked at each other, looking a little unacceptable, and talked about it one after another, while the domestic reporters were very proud, Jennifer asked Bei Xue softly behind Du Qiu: "Is this doctor system real?"

"It's true. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, I give the example of these two great men, not to judge them as right or wrong, or high or low, but to illustrate the fact that there is a difference between service and knowledge, which can improve the quality of life of a small group of people, and knowledge can improve the quality of life of a nation, a country and even the entire human race. Du Qiu slapped his palm, interrupted the chatter of several foreigners, and said: "The current Internet, just like China and India in 1950, lack of knowledge, lack of medical treatment, Snapdragon released products in the form of free and open source, is to let everyone in the world can browse the Internet safely, conveniently and comfortably, so as to improve the network environment, improve the quality of use, when everyone meets the basic needs, we will provide customized services for some users with higher needs, and make money by service." ”

At this time, an American journalist felt that he had found a point of attack, and with a clear sense of superiority, he made a provocative statement: "The House of Charity founded by Mother Teresa never charges for the service of the poor. ”

"When Mother Teresa herself was sick, did she stay in the House of Mercy for free treatment, or did she go to a top hospital for special treatment?"

The reporter was speechless because in 1995 Mother Teresa was 85 years old, in her last years, riddled with diseases, and there was a lot of news about her treatment, every time in a hospital in a developed country in Europe and the United States.

Jennifer coughed lightly twice in the back, and asked Bei Xue to get up and handed a note to Du Qiu, Du Qiu saw that it was written in English, so he smiled slightly, no longer paid attention to the foreigner, and asked sideways: "Reporter Feng, my answer is okay, right?"

His answer just now and his performance of scolding foreigners are very much in line with the taste of domestic official media, and Reporter Feng nodded with a smile: "Yes, it's very appropriate and exciting." That's all for my questions, thank you, Mr. Du. ”

Liu Yunlai, who was sitting on Du Qiu's left-hand side, played the role of host and announced: "Then it is the time for President Yang to be interviewed." Shaojie, you can ask questions. ”

This press conference can be said to be a hodgepodge, very strange, not only the reporters are from three different countries, using three different languages, but even the interviewees have two, one is Du Qiu, the other is Yang Fan, in the form of a relay staggered interviews.

This was deliberately arranged by Du Qiu, one is to make an internal statement, strengthen Yang Fan's position as the second-in-command of the company, and prepare for the implementation of the performance appraisal system next month, and the other is to make a statement to the outside world to create an image of him and Yang Fan with a clear division of labor and seamless cooperation, so as not to appear again After he went to the United States at the end of June, when Chen Dayou came back to preside over the work, he was ignored as a puppet.

This arrangement was originally very unreasonable, inefficient and chaotic, but Liu Yunlai finally agreed to this plan, because Yang Fan, a top talent with very high gold content, gave up his high salary and upcoming American citizenship, and jumped from a well-known multinational group in a first-tier city to a private company established less than half a year in a third-tier small city, just like a royal princess marrying a rural guy, full of controversy and gimmicks, and the news value is not inferior to Du Qiu, and the reporter is very interested in him.

The first person to ask Yang Fan a question was also a relational household, Sun Shaojie, who came on behalf of "Science and Technology Daily", she went straight to the point and asked: "Mr. Yang, why did you jump ship to Snapdragon?"

"There are three reasons why I jumped to Snapdragon, first, I am very optimistic about the development prospects of the Internet, second, I recognize the R&D strength of Snapdragon, and third, Mr. Du gave me a high salary that I couldn't refuse. ”

"Can you elaborate on that?"

"The development prospects of the Internet and the R&D strength of Snapdragon can be experienced from Mr. Du's speech and code, so I won't go into details. Yang Fan closely followed the theme of millionaires under the sun, and revealed his worth: "In addition to providing a basic annual salary of 200,000 yuan, Mr. Du also promised me that after working for two years, I could get 50,000 shares of equity incentives, and I also had the right of first refusal to buy another 100,000 shares at a price of $2 per share, which was worth about $315,000 at the valuation at the time, so it was difficult for me to refuse." ”

The annual salary of 200,000 is converted into a monthly salary of 16,700, which is shocking enough in other companies, but the rumor that the monthly salary of Snapdragon executives is more than 10,000 has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is not big news.

Option incentives had not been realized in China before 1995, and reporters had no clear concept of this, thinking that it was normal to recruit elite talents like Yang Fan and give some company stocks, and of the $315,000, he had to pay $200,000 out of his own pocket, so there was no reaction after listening.

Sun Shaojie is an internal ghost, and he knows the theme of this press conference better than others, so when he saw this, he increased his firepower and asked: "What was the valuation of Snapdragon at that time?"

"When I signed the contract, Snapdragon was valued at about $30 million, and two days after I signed the contract, the Snapdragon valuation increased 10 times. Yang Fan looked around the audience with a deep gaze, and then said in a more popular phrase: "So I believe that in two years, when my work contract with Snapdragon expires, the value of the shares in my hands will be far more than $3.15 million." ”

After only two years of work and only $200,000, you can get at least $3.15 million worth of stocks?!

At this time, the reporters finally reacted, and they were stunned, even those American reporters were no exception, because such a high salary return is very rare in Silicon Valley, and even Jennifer showed a surprised expression and looked at Du Qiu's back thoughtfully.

The questions of the first two related households set the tone of the whole press conference, and then under the auspices of Liu Yunlai, Du Qiu retreated, creating the image of "knowledge hero", talking about various technical details and the concept of knowledge changing fate, Yang Fan was pragmatic, creating an image of a "millionaire under the sun", explaining Snapdragon's talent training system and equity incentive plan, the two cooperated tacitly, took turns to fight, and before they knew it, an hour passed, and the question time of domestic reporters was over, and it was the turn of foreign reporters to go into battle.

The American reporter was led astray by the sudden appearance of Jennifer, gave up the idea of digging into Du Qiu's past, and focused on financial issues such as Snapdragon's current financing options and whether it will be listed in the future, and these two points are exactly what Du Qiu wants them to ask.

The two Nikkei reporters remained unmoved until the last minute to ask two questions, both of which were very poignant, both related to Du Qiu's "past."

"Toussaint, where did you get your computer knowledge?"

"Toussaint, according to the laws of our country, you can get Dongying nationality through normal channels, go back to China to visit relatives and start a business in Dongying with a legal identity, why take the risk of the unknown and go back to China to develop in an illegal way?"
