"Good, good...... Please say!" Ma Dong has been smiling since he entered the door of the conference room, but now the smile on his face has decreased by 80 percent, and the remaining 20 percent is also very stiff. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Does Hong Tao have a follow-up plan? There must be, since he talked to Diane, he began to think about how to drag Zhou Chuan into a big pit, and he couldn't let him realize the problem.

If you insist on increasing investment and expanding shares, you have to unite the three shareholders of Diane, Qi Rui, and Paul to fight against Ma Dong. In this way, it is equivalent to telling Zhou Chuan that his four shareholders are secretly of the same mind.

With Zhou Chuan's professionalism, he will figure out in minutes that the internal shareholders of Paper Communication are very complicated, and if they don't do it, they won't get involved, and it is obviously not interesting to get rid of a Ma Dong.

How could Zhou Chuan not be able to see clearly the relationship between the shareholders in the company? Only for the purpose of the company's interests, he could put forward a plan that Ma Dong had to agree to. Just like he used the new company as a cover, he had to find a cover, and finally Hong Tao thought of the reason for the branch.

This reason was not made up out of thin air, but was originally planned. If Mantis Shrimp wants to operate the large-scale online game World of Warcraft nationwide, the first thing to ensure is the Internet speed. If the latency of online games is too high, then it's a fart.

However, this goal is not for a single broadband operator in China, because China's telecom lines are largely divided into two parts: north and south. Most of the lines in the north are in the hands of Unicom, while in the south are the domain of telecom companies.

The relationship between the two companies is similar to that between the Ministry of Culture and the General Administration of Press and Publication, which is both an equal partner and a competing rival. Therefore, if you use Unicom's line to play games in the telecom room, the latency will often be high, and vice versa.

Most game companies rent bandwidth from two companies at the same time, or simply get two sets of servers, one for users in the north and one for users in the south.

Hong Tao also wants to do this, he wants to make the World of Warcraft server group into two, one in Shanghai, all using newly purchased HP servers, specifically facing the southern provinces, and the other in the capital for northern users, taking half of the HP servers, and the other half by the mantis shrimp company to buy from equipment providers all over the world by bidding.

The advantage of this is that the use of servers and bandwidth is more secure, but the disadvantage is that the investment is much higher, and there are two sets of operation teams, so the operating costs are also increased.

However, Hong Tao finally chose to do so, and entangled with Blizzard on this issue for a long time, and finally persuaded Blizzard on the premise of paying an additional $3 million in equipment purchase fees.

This time, he is not only for the sake of game users, but also wants to use this opportunity to strengthen and expand the operation team of the mantis shrimp company to a certain scale, and by the way, he also has to cultivate his own server management and procurement talents. Again, cultivating talents is the ultimate goal, and all other processes serve this purpose.

With Blizzard's technical guidance, Hong Tao believes that the technical team of Mantis Shrimp will learn new knowledge that was difficult to access before, and these new things are the world's leading technology and concepts. You can't spend this money in vain, you have to get it back from Blizzard little by little!

If Ma Dong doesn't collude with Zhou Chuan, the affairs of the branch will also have to be put on the agenda. This incident is also a major decision that has a great impact on the future of Paper Communication, and whether Mr. Ma supports or opposes it, he is a loser in this game. This is called Yang Mou, torturing you openly.

But is it so easy to get a branch office in Shanghai? It's really not easy to do. First of all, there is the problem of technical personnel and equipment, and now that the company is expanding with all its might, its own personnel are a little stretched, and there are not too many technical backbones to go to the Shanghai market to open up wasteland.

The second is the problem of the relationship with telecommunications, the roots of Paper Communication are in Beijing Unicom, and you go to the chassis of other people's telecommunications to grab food, if there is no resistance, it is a strange thing.

Finally, there is the problem of funds, it does not take much money to establish a branch organization, but it is not so easy to build a new computer room, and it is often hundreds of millions or hundreds of millions of yuan of investment.

In the past two years, the company's business volume has been rolling upward, but most of these businesses have been grabbed by price wars with peers, with very little profit, and the company's capital stock is not so abundant, so it is difficult to come up with hundreds of millions of yuan at once.

But Hong Tao has solved these three problems, and I have to mention one person here, oh no, it should be two people, a pair of brothers, Paul and Marx.

Since the end of SARS last year, Paul's brother Marx has quietly returned to China. Seeing his younger brother flourishing in China, his brother was a little red-eyed and wanted to come here to earn some extra money, so he quit his original job and became an expatriate engineer at Ericsson, and then became a foreign chief engineer in a telecommunications company in Shanghai.

And that's where Paul used to work, and the foreigner also engaged in nepotism, relying on familiarity to stuff his brother into it.

Paul never mentioned this matter to Hong Tao, but he has a fast-talking wife, Sun Lili immediately told Zhang Yuanyuan about it as soon as she knew about it, and then Hong Tao also knew.

At that time, Hong Tao was silent, mainly because he didn't want Paul and Sun Lili to quarrel because of this matter, who would like to have someone who is too fast, and spread the family affairs to the outside world.

But this time, Hong Tao really couldn't cover for Sun Lili, so he directly mentioned Marx's problem with Paul, and he needed the two brothers to help him sit in the south and the north, and he must get the branch affairs done.

Guess what Paul's reaction was when he heard it? Yes, he was not surprised at all, and admitted to Hong Tao that he deliberately revealed it to Sun Lili, in order to let Hong Tao know that Marx was coming.

Why did he have to let Hong Tao know that Marx was in China? Because Paul wanted Marx to come to the company as well, because the salary here is high, and he is a shareholder of the company, so he can always take care of his brother.

But he couldn't open his mouth to Hong Tao, and Marx didn't allow him to do so. Helpless, I can only take the lady's route, through Sun Lili turned around to spread this matter to Hong Tao's ears, and then let Hong Tao take the initiative to talk to him, which is not against his brother's wishes, and can bargain with Hong Tao, not to ask Hong Tao for help.

Who said that foreigners are stupid, they are monkeys, they don't need to stick hair, they already have a body of hair!

This time, Hong Tao didn't complain that Sun Lili was too fast, and it just so happened that with Marx in charge, half of the matter of the Paper Communication branch was solved. Hong Tao personally called Marx and chatted for half a night, and then promised a lot of money to buy him on his behalf, and finally persuaded Marx to become the deputy general manager and chief engineer of the Shanghai branch of the company, and by the way, he went to his former unit to poach people.

As long as it is a person who can be used in the branch, start with double salary, take the money to smash me, and the basic team must be smashed out before the end of August, otherwise even the elder brother and younger brother will go to find a new job together.

In this way, the technical backbone of the branch has been basically solved, and by the way, it has also been dyed with a strong telecommunications color. From the deputy general manager to the chief engineer to the technician, they all jumped from the telecommunications industry in Shanghai, and they brought not only people and technology, but also background and connections, so Hong Tao felt that the high salary was not wronged.

If Hong Tao had originally planned to make this investment, he would have relied on those families first, and when the mantis shrimp company went public, he would have sufficient funds, and then become one of the major shareholders of the company by purchasing shares.

But the plan couldn't catch up with the changes, and he was short of money, so Zhou Chuan rushed to deliver the money. Isn't there such a saying, the person who knows you best in the world is the enemy, and this enemy is really sweet.
