Chapter Ninety-Nine: Inquiries and Business Opportunities

Secretary Bai's name is Bai Yuquan, after graduating from Sanjiang Provincial Normal College in 1991, he was assigned to work in the Yuncheng Education Bureau, because he taught himself some computer knowledge when he was studying, not only can type, but also install software and repair computers, which was a great ability at the time, so he quickly became a well-known technical expert in the agency, and by chance, this specialty was favored by a leader in the city, and he was transferred from the Education Bureau to the municipal government secretariat.

It's a pity that it didn't take long for the leader to go to other provinces, Bai Yuquan had no backer, and became a dispensable little transparent in the secretariat, fortunately, he was not highly motivated, and his family background was not bad, so he didn't feel how difficult it was, he did it when he had something, read books when he had nothing to do, and went to work every day leisurely.

Yesterday, the "Cloud City Evening News" published the news that Snapdragon Software Company had settled in Cloud City, which attracted great attention from the city leaders, but they couldn't figure out what the iView browser was, so they remembered that there was a computer expert in the secretariat.

"Cloud City has not yet opened the Internet, so I haven't used the iview browser either, but my younger brother, who is studying in the capital, has used it, and he said that it is equivalent to the entrance to the information superhighway. ”

What the information superhighway looks like, the leaders don't know, but the leaders know what the highway looks like, the entrance is the toll station, and the toll station is a good deal.

Although it is a good deal, the leaders are all people with status, and before others have expressed their position, they rush out to offer their courtesy, which will seem too cheap, so Bai Yuquan, a little secretary who has no faction but knows how to do it, has become the best pathfinder.

After Bai Yuquan listened to the speech at Sanjiang University, he took a taxi back to the city government, but he simply didn't go to the other leaders' offices, and went directly to ********.

The ******** of Yuncheng is named Zhong Gaoshan, who has been the mayor of Yuncheng for 8 years, and has just been promoted to secretary in February this year.

"It's kind of interesting to use small favors to attract students, and then test their abilities, this Du Qiu is a person with hills and valleys in his chest...... You continue. ”

"Even Academician Hou went to listen to the speech?...... It turns out that President Chen's son is one of the founders and major shareholders, and there are academicians in the array, and it seems that Snapdragon Software Company is a real high-tech enterprise. ”

"I see, no wonder Cloud City doesn't have any files about him. ”

After he commented on the book published by the professor at Cheongseong University, how did the students react?...... Since there are two top students from Qingcheng University in his company, it should be a matter of facts, not nonsense. ”

Zhong Gaoshan commented while listening to Bai Yuquan's report, and after pondering for a moment, he asked, "Xiaobai, what kind of person do you feel when you get along with this Du Qiu?"

"He is a very capable person and is very popular among students. ”

"What about personality?"

"The personality is quite gentle.,Don't talk much.,It's a high-tech talent.。 ”

"I listened to what you just described, and I felt that his speech was very exciting, meticulous, relaxed, serious when he should be serious, relaxed when he should be relaxed, very good at speaking, not like a taciturn person. ”

Bai Yuquan felt that Du Qiu's temperament was very similar to himself, and defended it: "Many people in the academic circle talk about technology, but they are speechless when they treat people, Du Qiu should belong to this kind of person, and he is not very sociable." ”

Zhong Gaoshan thoughtfully, took a sip of tea from his cup, and then asked, "Did he ask you?"

"No, he said that because his sister was in Cloud City, he moved the company to Cloud City, and didn't mention anything else. ”

"What does his sister do?"

Bai Yuquan raised his finger and pointed to a row of light gray notepads on the desk, and said, "It's the general manager of the Thinker Notebook Company, named Du Chunhua. ”

Zhong Gaoshan was stunned, picked up a notepad and asked, "The company that made this book?"

"Yes. ”

"It's kind of interesting, kind of funny. Zhong Gaoshan laughed, held up the notepad, and said: "I often tell people that for the first term of office, for the benefit of one party, the municipal party committee and the municipal government should take the lead and support more excellent products produced in the city, so a while ago, I saw that this notepad advertisement was doing well, so I asked Xiao Yang to purchase a batch of back, but I didn't expect it to be related to Snapdragon software." ”

Bai Yuquan said dryly: "Their company's notepad is very good, and my brother said that it is very popular in the capital." ”

"The quality is really good. Zhong Gaoshan's mind was not on the notepad, and he asked, "What did Principal Chen say?"

Principal Chen said that he never interfered in his son's affairs, and he didn't know anything about business. ”

"Nonsense! Sanjiang University has seven or eight school-run factories, and he doesn't understand business, how can he become an executive vice president?" Zhong Gaoshanhe hated this half-concealed and half-concealed posture, and wanted to refuse and welcome, so he snorted coldly and asked again: "Where is his son now?"

"In the U.S., the iView browser is popular, and it is said that there are already more than 500,000 users. ”

Zhong Gaoshan has no concept of the Internet, and compared it with the real population, he felt that it was too little, so he questioned: "The United States has hundreds of millions of people, and they have only developed more than 500,000 users?"

"I heard Du Qiu say that there are only more than 5 million computers in the world that can access the Internet, and 500,000 users account for about 9% to 10% of the global market share, and it only took a little more than a month. ”

The same number, different statements, will bring different effects, the global market share of 10% sounds much taller than the cold 500,000 users, Zhong Gaoshan pondered for a moment, then turned his head to the secretary who had been sitting next to him and said: "Xiao Yang, when you went to buy a notepad last time, did you meet Du Qiu's sister?"

"Yes. ”

"Then you go and get in touch, and I'll go to her desk tomorrow to check it out. ”

In 1995, the speed of information dissemination was both slow and fast, slow because the Internet had not yet been popularized, content such as pictures and videos spread very slowly, fast because of the existence of telephones and faxes, and content such as voice and text spread very quickly.

The conditions in the capital are far better than those in Cloud City, many universities can access the Internet in the computer room, the iView browser is rich in functions, the experience is good, coupled with the open source code and the halo of domestic products, it has quickly become the standard software in every computer, so that students have an intuitive understanding of the technical strength of Snapdragon Software Company, so Qin Mu's recruitment work is progressing very smoothly, and it only took three or four days to recruit 8 fresh graduates.

Qin Mu gave the students 3 days to prepare, preparing to take the train to Yuncheng on May 3, and on the evening of May 2, his old friend Jiang You specially found a hotel to entertain him, and then heard the news of Du Qiu's bombardment of textbooks from his mouth.

"Your boss is quite young and vigorous. Jiang You took the menu and ordered, and said: "That book is really bad, I don't recommend it for students when teaching, but it's okay to talk about it in private, how can you say it in a public speech, it's too offensive." ”

"Mr. Du is not mixed in the school system, if he is offended, he will be offended, what does it matter. ”

"How can it be so simple, people have many books, many titles, disciples and grandchildren all over the world, and the battle of words and tongues is enough for your company. ”

"Computer programming is code, not saliva. Qin Mu was very disdainful, he casually ordered a steamed sea bass, and said: "When I was recruiting in the past few days, I met many students who used that book to get started, and they didn't let go of their mistakes, but instead said that I was wrong, because that's what the book says!"

"As long as you have practical work experience, you can change it quickly. ”

"Do you think everyone is as smart as you? Teaching and educating people is your teacher's job, not our company's responsibility, we want talents who can be used when they are called, not crooked melons and jujubes who need to be retrained. Qin Mu was very unhappy with Jiang You's cowardice and shirking responsibility, and complained: "Although our domestic conditions are not good, no matter how bad they are, there are teachers to teach, dormitories to live in, and libraries to use, which is better than Mr. Du self-studying in Japan? As a result, after so many years, there have been a few awesome programmers? How many programmers have written awesome software? Isn't it all the irresponsible fault of you teachers. ”

Eyu didn't speak, handed the menu to the waiter, and asked him to serve it.

"In the hundreds of regular universities in the country, there are not 10,000 but 8,000 teachers who teach the C language, can't they all see that there is a problem with that book? Everyone is a turtle with a shrunken head, only caring about their own one-third of an acre of land, and even saying that if they don't study well, they blame themselves for not working hard, it's not the fault of the textbook, don't you think it's funny? Thinking is all wrong, and the harder you work, the more wrong you are!"

"Forget it, don't talk about that. Jiang You and Qin Mu have been friends for many years, and they knew that they couldn't argue with him, so they changed the topic and said: "You Du always want to get a branch out of BSD and enter the domestic government office market, this idea is very good, I recently heard a news, which may be of great reference value to you." ”

"What's the news?"

"There is an associate professor in the University of Electronic Science and Technology, called Song Ruhua, who resigned in 92 to go into business, at the beginning of this year, he engaged in an electronic tax calculation software, bundled with hardware to sell everywhere, and got a large order of 15 million in Xijing a while ago. ”

"Is tax calculation software so valuable?"

"Last year, the State Administration of Taxation issued a document requiring that by the end of this century, all tax bureaus and tax offices across the country should realize the computerization of declaration, registration, invoicing, and accounting, but almost no company in China can provide mature products. Jiang You waited for the waiter to leave, and then continued: "I have a friend in the University of Electronic Science and Technology, he said that Song Ruhua has almost no technical accumulation, only recruited 3 students, and made the electronic tax calculation software in less than 3 months. ”

Qin Mu picked up the wine glass and took a sip lightly, feeling a little moved in his heart.

"This is a big project that the state has clearly stipulated to promote, and the funds are very sufficient, there are more than 40,000 tax bureaus in the country, and if each tax bureau earns 1,000 yuan, it is 40 million. Jiang You picked up his glass and reminded: "Now many domestic tax bureaus are in very poor condition, not even a computer, if you purchase, it must be software and hardware purchased together, you are from the Founder Group, Founder out of the hardware, you out of the software, if you cooperate with each other, the profit is probably far more than 40 million." ”

"Damn, Yuzu, you're enlightened, you actually know how to make money better than me. ”
