There is another person here who has helped Hong Tao a lot, that is, Huang Mao, no, now he should be called a big name, Zhang Qingshan! Comrade Qingshan has already become a cadre of a telecommunications company, and he happens to be serving in the new department of the Internet, although his position cannot decide when to install the line for Hong Tao, but he can tell Hong Tao some more practical information, and by the way, put Hong Tao's installation list in the front row.

The vast majority of the people on the original junior high school basketball team have now entered the workplace, and there are some who have good prospects and some who are not as good as they want. But Hong Tao feels that this is not the point, they have just entered the society, and there are still many variables behind, so it is too early to draw conclusions. The junior high school basketball league is still being held, it has not stopped for a year, and more and more schools have joined, and every year there are new students from the campus to the society, and Huang Mao, the chairman of the league, with several backbones, has been expanding this small circle in accordance with Hong Tao's wishes. There are already more than 200 names in the association's directory, and they are located in almost every major city in the country, and they meet once a year at the expense of the alliance. If someone encounters difficulties in life and work, not only will the members help, but the alliance will also contribute money and efforts to help, of course, this money will eventually have to be paid by Hong Tao.

Every time Han Xue asked him what was the point of maintaining the league and the league with a fixed expenditure of millions every year, a temporary expenditure of tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands, Hong Tao told her that she was planting trees, and if she wanted to become a talent, she had to wait, and the funds invested in the process were nothing compared to the returns she would get in the future. Regardless of whether Han Xue understands it or not, Hong Tao insists on this approach. Not only can it not be interrupted, but it is also necessary to slowly increase and strengthen the cohesion of the alliance.

Hong Tao's ultimate ideal was to make this alliance an elite group like a brotherhood. Don't look at their current energy is still very low, but no one dares to guarantee that there will be no characters or anything in it. Even if everyone can't get ahead. After 10 or 8 years, it is not too much of a luxury for them to become small section chiefs and small responsible persons in their respective units! As long as 10 percent of them succeed, then the energy of this group cannot be underestimated. In China's society, there are many things that cannot only be done by relying on high-ranking officials, and some grassroots responsible persons also hold huge powers, and some things are suitable for going to the grassroots level, not for handling them from the top down.

For example, if there is no Huang Mao's response to install broadband this time, Hong Tao will have to wait a lot more, run a lot more wrongful roads, and spend a lot more money. Now Hong Tao is just collecting some small interest. When his club in Jinhai Lake is established, it will be the time for this alliance to really carry forward. Hong Tao was looking forward to this time, he had already thought of a lot of things, and he wanted to use this alliance to try some of his ideas again.

When Hong Tao first sat at home and used email to contact the company's headquarters in the United States and Europe, he came up with a new term. He asked his companies to make every employee use a computer as an auxiliary office device as much as possible, and to start using e-mail as the main means of daily communication, in addition to the necessary archival documents. Of course. Completely paperless office is not yet up to that level, but the general direction has been pointed out to Hong Tao.

It is not enough to have a direction, but also to have specific measures to figure out guò Internet remote contact. There is still a lack of necessary software support, especially for instant messaging apps. When it comes to this kind of software, the first name that pops up in Hong Tao's mind is OICQ. Commonly known as QQ, and then there is ICQ, the predecessor of QQ. And Microsoft's MSN. The ICQ software is already available, and Mirabilis has launched its first version at the end of '96. It's just that there are very few people who are familiar with it and use it.

Hong Tao has tried countless times to get this ICQ software to China in the footsteps of later generations, Israel is not as powerful as the United States, and stealing its intellectual property rights for use in China will not cause much trouble, and this kind of thing will not be tireless in the future Chinese companies, and the probability of success is very high. Now Hong Tao has this advantage, he has an advantage over anyone in the later generations, whether it is capital, technology, or influence, he has a huge advantage that others cannot match, if he wants to do it, he will do better than those companies in the later generations.

But he couldn't resist touching it, because he didn't want to interfere with his usual style because of the company's development. If he makes this company bigger, he must face the control of the state, it is estimated that it is not only control, but also the communication enterprises that will affect people's thoughts, in China, they do not want to get rid of the government's control, 100% completely controlled. Money can make you earn, but you must be obedient, you can say whatever you want, and you must not laugh if you cry.

Hong Tao didn't want to be this kind of living grandson when he was short of money, and now he is not short of money, of course, he can't be it. So he doesn't plan to meddle in this industry, it should be someone else's money, he never blushes, whoever likes to earn will earn it, he won't suppress it, and he won't support it. But at present, he needs to develop a complete set of communication software in his own enterprise, so he still has to get involved in this field, but he himself limits himself to a small circle. Only develop more professional and more secure enterprise-level communication software, unless there are individuals who are willing to spend money to buy this kind of software, they will never get involved in individual users.

So how is he going to do it? It's very simple, wielding the big stick of capital! Without saying a word, just let Xueyan buy Mirabilis, or let Crystal Orchid Capital invest in it and fool it into going public in the United States. In either case, the Mirabilis company is already surnamed Hong anyway, its patents are its own, and one of its research results has become its own.

Then Hong Tao made another decision, moving part of the original research institute in Beijing Normal University to the headquarters of Astronomical Digital in Hong Kong, and becoming a separate private research institution, ready to cooperate with Mirabilis to optimize the ICQ software. The main reason for moving is that this real yàn room needs to be greatly expanded. Now Hong Tao is no longer afraid of technology leakage, he has already done what should be studied, and the things that need to be studied below are a game for him, and whether the leakage is not leaked will not affect his survival situation.

If you want to expand, you must recruit enough researchers, but with the current situation in China, 50% of excellent researchers are not willing to work here, 30% want to come here due to various problems, and 20% even if they come, visa problems are very troublesome, let alone naturalization. If a research institute can't retain talents, then it's a fart to study, and it is definitely not as cost-effective to use domestic talents as it is to use talents from all over the world.

So Hong Tao has to get it to a more relaxed place, and now that Hong Kong's housing prices are plummeting, Hong Tao has begun to prepare to buy the bottom. As a free port, it is very suitable for Hong Tao's taste, and it is more convenient for personnel to enter and exit, taking advantage of the Asian financial crisis, to get a building to be the headquarters of the astronomical digital company, and then to use the building as a private research institute and a digital center, which is too cost-effective!!

Not only in Hong Kong, Hong Tao plans to set up large-scale data centers in San Jose in the United States and Düsseldorf in Germany at the same time, and then rely on them to set up an Internet consulting agency to prepare for the era of big numbers. According to Hong Tao's plan, one year later, these computer rooms will start to collect classified data with the help of Yahoo's global network, and then re-enter the market as a data provider, providing sorted, classified and analyzed data services for all walks of life. This method is a bit similar to the later Google, Hong Tao can't wait for its appearance, and he doesn't care about affecting its future development.

In fact, Hong Tao is very willing to get such a thing in China, and after he succeeds, he will make a member of the CPPCC or something, then it is called Guangzong Yaozu. But he is timid, he is very, very afraid of being close to the domestic government, this feeling may not be experienced by people born in the 80s, but if you have experienced those ten years, you may also have the same idea as Hong Tao. When there is no fixed rule in a place, no one dares to play here often, even if they are attracted by the interests, they are going to take a handful and run.

It's like playing a game, the fairer and more unbreakable the rules of the game, the more people will be willing to play together. Everyone will keep probing the small loopholes of this rule, trying to get the maximum benefit for themselves, and then the rule will patch and plug those known bugs, which is called self-improvement. No one will break this rule fundamentally, because if you break the rule, everyone will not have to play, on the contrary, everyone will try to maintain this rule. Although it may be imperfect, imperfect, and unsound, as long as everyone works hard to play together, it is developing in the right direction, infinitely close to perfection, perfection, and soundness.

The premise is that you have to have this basic rule first, if not, whoever has the big fist has the final say, and there will be fewer and fewer people willing to play with you, and even if there is, they are gamblers and speculators. They are not here to improve the rules, they are going to break the rules, and it is none of their business whether the rules are good or bad? People don't plan to play here for a long time, take a bite, take a handful, and when they see that the momentum is not right, they will immediately slap their butts and leave, leaving a mess of who likes to clean up.

Hong Tao is resolutely unwilling to be this cleaner, and he doesn't plan to take a bite and run away, he is still counting on his global cloth plan to establish a century-old family, so he can only find a place with rules to play. There's no way, in the movie "Bitter Love", the daughter of a returned painter asked him: "You are bitterly nostalgic for this country, but does this country love you?"

Hong Tao also often asks himself this sentence, and the answer is always not very satisfactory to him, and he will continue to ask this sentence in the future, until he is sure that he will not be persecuted by his family like the returned painter in "Bitter Love" and finally freeze to death on the wasteland, he will add an affirmative answer to this question.
