Chapter 86 Proxy Server Business
Three days later, Li Feiteng left Shenchuan City in a comfortable mood, and Meng Tingwei took a song "Lonely" that he gave her with some nostalgia and unforgettable, and quietly returned to Treasure Island.
This loneliness is the famous song of the later singer Xie Ronger, and it is also an episode in the movie "We Are All Bad Boys".
Li Feiteng feels that the name of the movie is a good description of the relationship between him and Meng Tingwei - we are all bad boys.
When he was 20 years old in his previous life, Li Feiteng was studying and working hard, his body was also as thin as an otaku, and he had never enjoyed any happy life at all, so he must break the secular concept in this life, and while climbing his career, he will not forget that he is a young and vigorous man.
People often pursue what they lack, Li Feiteng thinks about it, he is also an ordinary man in this regard.
Li Feiteng got off the plane and received a call from Zhou Weikun, president of IBM Greater China, and his server had finally arrived.
Yanjing City, Zhongguancun.
A large truck stopped in front of Longteng Company, and six or seven porters carefully pulled the server off the platform, while Li Feiteng and Zhou Weikun stood by and watched.
"Mr. Zhou, the server is so fast?"
"Yesterday morning, when I arrived at the customs, thanks to the military, the border transport plane helped to fly over. ”
"Amazing!" Li Feiteng really didn't expect the military to be so close to the people.
"Fraser, the chief technology officer of our company headquarters, has been in Yanjing for the past two days, and he asked me to tell you first, President Gerstner invited you to work in the United States, and IBM will give you an annual salary of $1 million!" Zhou Weikun said amazingly, he looked at Li Feiteng with some envy, his current annual salary is only 300,000 US dollars.
Li Feiteng glanced back at Zhou Weikun, and he smiled: "Say to Fraser, I already have my own company in China." ”
Zhou Weikun was dumbfounded, he said in his heart that Fraser could feel at ease now, because in fact, Fraser had already arrived in Xiangjiang, and he had been having fun in Xiangjiang for the past few days, just to ask Zhou Weikun to come forward and pass on this matter to Li Feiteng, and the purpose was clear at a glance.
"Mr. Zhou, I want to buy another 50 PCs from Yanjing IBM, can you help?" Li Feiteng wanted to take the opportunity to buy a batch of cheap computers.
"You don't need to buy this, I can directly ask someone to move 50 units for you!" Zhou Weikun said with a cheerful smile, he was ready to sue Sù Fraser that he had persuaded Li Feiteng not to work in the United States, but the request was to send another 50 PCs.
"Then thank you so much for this!" Li Feiteng said in surprise, he didn't expect Zhou Weikun to be so generous, could it be that IBM has already explained this?
Zhou Weikun smiled and said: "It's all a trivial matter, I'll call now and let them help you install it, so that your company can open and make money!"
"That's grateful!"
Zhou Weikun smiled and walked to the side to make a call, he is selling favors on both sides, as a professional manager, he can make the most of his connections and means in order to go further in the workplace.
Li Feiteng next to him felt that Zhou Weikun was really good, and when Zhou Weikun called to tell Fraser about the reply, Fraser immediately promised to give Zhou Weikun a "reward" of $300,000.
For the Americans, Zhou Weikun chose to accept the $300,000 safely, knowing very well that in Chinese culture, favors are more important than money, while in the West, money is more important than favors.
When he turned around, Zhou Weikun's smile became more enthusiastic, as an old-timer who was later known as the "Godfather of Chinese IT", he actually walked into Li Feiteng's company and helped install the server with him.
This old man is really good, Li Feiteng feels in his heart that Zhou Weikun is really good.
However, Zhou Weikun was the godfather in later generations, and Li Feiteng was also a godfather in the future, and his title was even more powerful.
The two future godfathers are both technical maniacs, and their work can be described as fast, plus the porter himself is also a technician, so there are a total of eight people, plus six people from the telecommunications bureau, and the big guys are in full swing, and the three servers are quickly installed.
By noon, the server had already been installed, and although it hadn't been tested yet, the rest of the work was relatively simple.
Li Feiteng must have invited the big guy to a big meal.
In the hotel, Li Feiteng arranged two tables on the floor for others, and of course he and Zhou Weikun were in the box.
When the meal came, Moutai took it to the table, and after eating and drinking politely, Li Feiteng said magnificently: "Xiangjiang has returned, Mr. Zhou will definitely have a lot of business in the mainland in the future, if there is anything you need help with, just look for me Li Feiteng!"
"It must be!" Zhou Weikun was not polite, he just needed a verbal admission from Li Feiteng, this favor was sold.
In fact, Zhou Weikun was very curious about what Li Feiteng wanted so many servers for, and he couldn't help asking: "Mr. Li, you want so many servers, what are you going to do in the future?"
"Make a website, develop software, and also make some online games. Li Feiteng did not hide that these are all things that the Internet can do at present.
"Want to make a Chinese Yahoo?" Zhou Weikun asked with great interest.
"Hehe, it depends on whether I can get foreign venture capital funds, and if I can get it, it doesn't matter if I make a Chinese version of Yahoo. Li Feiteng said with a smile.
"Now the development of domestic bandwidth is too slow, the bandwidth to access the Internet is only tens of megabytes, and there are only 200,000 Internet users in the mainland, I am not very optimistic!" Zhou Weikun said his opinion, which can be regarded as pouring cold water on Li Feiteng.
Li Feiteng heard this, he also felt a little painful, yes, the current Chinese Internet is so backward, he planned last year to upgrade the computer bar to an Internet café in the middle of this year, but after this year, he found that this idea is unrealistic, the cost of pulling optical fiber is too high, Feiteng Group simply can't afford the Internet fee.
Therefore, the plan to fully upgrade to an Internet café has been completely put on hold, and Li Feiteng is still preparing to continue to open a computer bar to pan for gold, and in first-tier cities, optical fiber can be pulled in if conditions permit. However, in the past three years, he will mainly focus on game computers that are not connected to the Internet, and only after 2000 will he have the courage to completely upgrade the Qingmu Nianhua computer bar to an Internet café.
Li Feiteng and Zhou Weikun chatted for a long time at lunch, although he was a reborn, but some of the views of the old godfather still gave Li Feiteng a lot of tips and help, at least some cold water was poured very well, so that Li Feiteng could see clearly the current unbreakable predicament in China.
Sending off the old godfather, Li Feiteng returned to the company, when he first entered the company, he didn't expect Ding Lei to stand at the door, he was staring at the IBM server wrapping paper and foam protective compartment in the hall with a stunned expression.
"Lei Zi is free, go upstairs and help. Li Feiteng walked over from behind, patted Ding Lei's shoulder, and he went up to the second floor.
The IBM technicians brought by Zhou Weikun are all gone, but the telecommunications bureau workers are still there, and they came back before Li Feiteng to deal with the connection between the optical fiber and the server.
Ding Lei opened his mouth, and he hurriedly followed upstairs and asked, "Li Feiteng, how many servers have you got?"
"Come and see for yourself!"
Ding Lei walked into the computer room on the second floor, the expression on his face was extremely shocked, he saw several men fiddling with optical cables, and the three IBMas400 enterprise servers were placed on the ground very conspicuously.
"Three enterprise-level clusters with 48 servers. Li Feiteng said with a smile.
"It's more than three million!" Ding Lei gritted his teeth, he rubbed his eyes, and couldn't believe what he saw in front of him.
"You pull a line back, and I'll let you use one for free. Li Feiteng said generously.
Ding Lei waved his hand embarrassedly, and he said, "How can this work, Mr. Li, you bought so many servers to prepare for rent, right?"
Li Feiteng paused for a moment, but he was reminded by Ding Lei's words, so many servers must not be used for the time being, it can be said that in the past two years, the deduction will be used at most one, one hao123, and one Qingmu Forum.
One here is a small one, and there are 50 in front of him, at least he will idle about 40 server resources, and 1G optical fiber is also a bit of a waste, because no matter how high his domestic access speed is, if the network speed of home users is still tens of K, it will not be fast to surf the Internet.
Ding Lei's 20,000 assembled servers can have spare time to provide personal homepages for netizens, while Li Feiteng can open a server agency here, and even directly help private companies build websites.
"Yes, my company also provides an agency website, how about it, do you want to be the first customer?" Li Feiteng said jokingly.
“…… Then I might as well join your company!" Ding Lei said enviously, only those who have no money are called entrepreneurs, and those who have money are called throwing money to invest!
"Come, let's help get it done, and I'll invite you to dinner in the evening!" Li Feiteng rolled up his sleeves, and he walked up to test whether the server was okay.
"Okay...... Well, go back and get me a virtual server to use. Ding Lei came up and said helpfully.
"Then you can get one yourself. Li Feiteng said while fiddling with the server.
"I'm not very good at it!" Ding Lei laughed.
"You just pretend!" Li Feiteng taunted him, using a server to divide more than a dozen virtual servers, this is an entry technology that IT men must understand, and they can't get virtual servers, how to open a network company.
Ding Lei could only smile and indirectly admit that he was pretending to be B.
After about an hour, the server was connected to the optical fiber, and after some inspection and testing, there is basically no problem so far.
However, there is still a lot of follow-up work, and after Li Feiteng and Ding Lei sent off the telecom engineers, a large truck slowly came and stopped in front of the company.
The driver who got out of the car walked over with a middle-aged man in formal clothes, he handed Li Feiteng a business card and said, "Mr. Li, 50 PCs have been brought to you, where do you look to unload the goods?"
Li Feiteng looked at the business card and knew that the middle-aged man in front of him was actually the general manager of IBM Yanjing regional sales, so he hurriedly said politely: "I didn't expect you to send it so soon, you wait a minute, I'll call someone to come over and help!"
Ding Lei was hit, he was frightened by Li Feiteng's wealth!
With a three-story office building of several thousand square meters, exquisite decoration, millions of servers, millions of PCs, and optical fibers, Li Feiteng's network company has invested at least tens of millions.
"Feiteng, you are now the second largest network company in China. Ding Lei said with emotion.
Li Feiteng was speechless, he really wanted to sue Ding Lei that the first Yinghaiwei IT Group in China would go bankrupt and go bankrupt in a few years, so his Longteng buckle will definitely be the first network company in China.
However, he immediately slyly laughed at himself: "Leizi, even if it is the first, I don't know if the Internet can make money, maybe it won't be long before it goes out of business!"
Ding Lei was silent, he didn't believe that Li Feiteng's big money would not make money, he also had a firm idea of doing the Internet, and even some wanted to make an instant messaging software.
However, Ding Lei thought that Li Feiteng was his neighbor, and he looked down and didn't look up. And it was inevitable to ask him for help in the future, so Ding Lei immediately dispelled this idea, he didn't want to lose a friend in the early days of the business and set up a strong enemy.
