The cooperation with France Telecom officially began after the signing of the agreement, although Zhou Liwen made some concessions in the negotiations because of hTc, but on the whole the advantages outweighed the disadvantages. Moreover, his smartphones are currently sold in China, and in order to avoid trouble, the apI protocol is adopted, while the I-FI protocol is adopted in Europe and the United States.

At first, Zhou Liwen didn't know much about these two protocols, and it wasn't until he did the network access permit that Wei Zi passed on the information that the state would implement the mandatory standard gB15629 next year, that is, in 2oo3. 11/11o2-2oo3 approved the establishment of the apI Alliance, and charged the alliance members a one-dollar license fee for each mobile phone, and at the same time will comply with gB15629. 11 series and related standards of wireless LAN products for interoperability testing and certification.

To put it bluntly, the simple understanding is that the country plans to put aside the I-FI protocol that is now popular in most parts of the world, such as Europe and the United States, and intends to carry out a set of threshold restrictions for I-FI protocol mobile phones to enter the big 6 market, and at the same time charge authorization fees to mobile phone manufacturers in the name of the alliance. When he learned the news, Zhou Liwen, who had not been prepared for a while, was almost blindsided, because where did he know about the apI protocol dispute in later generations? Because of the assumption, smartphones are designed with the apI protocol in mind from the very beginning.

But after all, your arms can't twist your thighs, and if you want to mix in China, you have to listen to what is said, otherwise you will be deprived of the right to participate in the game. Where does Zhou Liwen have the courage to compete with the national machine? In order to temporarily change the apI protocol, orz's technical department, including the system-on-a-chip, was readjusted.

Although in the end, it was still approved, and the scheduled sales time was not delayed. The apI protocol can be changed, which not only increases the cost, but also the provisions that may be charged in the future for licensing fees, which makes Zhou Liwen feel as uncomfortable as eating a fly.

The signing of the agreement with France Telecom made Zhou Liwen's originally depressed mood much better. Export products can completely abandon the flashy apI protocol and continue to use the currently popular I-FI, which is much more convenient in terms of cost and production.

After Shi Wen returned to France, Zhou Liwen temporarily stayed in Huacheng for a few days, and he went to the Guo's Enterprise Building, which was doing exterior wall treatment. Since the building was originally acquired as an unfinished house, it was already about to be capped, and after the United Shanghai Bank won the building, the continuation project was quickly started with abundant financial support.

At present, the exterior wall of the entire building has been almost completed, and the finishing work on the interior is also in full swing. In particular, the podium from the first floor to the fifth floor has been completely completed, and the Huhai Bank, which has been prepared for a long time, will settle in the building according to the previous agreement when the podium is completed, and set this place as the location of the Huacheng branch of the Shanghai Bank.

Looking up at the building that was almost completed, Zhou Liwen was very satisfied, and Guo Tao, who accompanied him, was even more smiling, and stood in front of the bronze "Guo's Enterprise Building" nameplate erected in front of the building.

"How long will it take to get it all done?" Although the exterior structure of this building was built according to the original design drawings, the exterior wall decoration Zhou Liwen asked the design institute to redesign a more trendy way, mainly the use of building materials and large glass curtain walls, under the sunlight, the whole building shines, completely called "high!" Big! Above! ”

"The exterior wall will be finished in a few days, and the work inside will probably be completed by the middle of next month, or at the latest at the end of the month." The supervisor invited from the Huhai Design Institute patiently explained to Zhou Liwen, although it was the first time he saw Zhou Liwen, it didn't mean that he didn't know Zhou Liwen's identity, especially when Guo Tao and Zhou Liwen, who had been dealing with him before, came together, he could see at a glance that the higher status of the two people, and the one who could really call the shots was Chairman Zhou.

"It's hard work, but in the end, I still have to say, pay attention to construction safety, anyway, it's not bad for a few days, and I will follow the procedure." Zhou Liwen nodded. Then he turned around and joked to Guo Tao, who was happy: "I said Guo Fatzi, I heard that you often come here as long as you are fine." What's wrong? Can't wait to move in? ”

"That's it!" Guo Tao didn't hide his urgency at all, and said with a smile: "The design drawings of my office have come out, and the decoration company has been found, so I'm waiting to come here to work." Let me tell you, I have already chosen, the three floors of 18, 19, and 2O as the headquarters, how about it? Nice floor, right? ”

Zhou Liwen suddenly shook his head and smiled: "You can too, and you're not afraid of being too tall?" If you want to be lucky, it's enough to choose 8,9,1o. ”

Guo Tao suddenly shook his head and rattle: "No, no, no, I specially asked the feng shui master of Xiangjiang, ascend to the height, the eagle spreads its wings!" Where is the feng shui below the 1o floor where to have these three floors. You have to have 18 floors or more to have this effect. ”

Looking at the appearance of the Divine Dao, Zhou Liwen almost burst out laughing. This guy has never seen him believe in this when he was in Huhai before, and now his habits in Huacheng over the years are similar to those of Cantonese, not only believe in feng shui, but also set up Guan Gong in the office, and even began to wear rosaries in his hands.

"Whatever you want, anyway, it's mainly for you to use here, I have no opinion." Zhou Liwen shook his head with a smile, and was about to continue to say something, when the president of the Huacheng branch of Huhai Bank, who coincidentally learned the news, learned that Zhou Liwen was coming and hurriedly greeted him.

"Dong Zhou, why didn't you notify me first?" President Ge is the president of the district branch of the Huhai Bank, and he is also the middle level of the Huhai Bank.

As a middle-level cadre of Huhai Bank, he certainly knows that Zhou Liwen is the fourth largest shareholder of Huhai Bank, and he is also the real owner of this building. Whether it is the former or the latter, even if Zhou Liwen just came to see the progress of the building today, President Ge didn't know, and he would come out to greet him anyway.

"I'll just come over on a business trip to take a look, President Ge, don't worry, I'm not here to inspect the work, and besides, I, the shareholder, can't control your head." Zhou Liwen shook hands with him and joked casually.

President Ge smiled and said: "Dong Chou is really joking, I am the little branch president, just call me Lao Ge." Speaking of which, I waited to come to Huacheng or entrusted the blessing of Dong Chou, if it weren't for the cooperation between Dong Chou and the bank, where would I have the opportunity today? Dong Chou, since you're here, go in and sit? Everyone is their own person, even if they recognize the door today, and the business here in Huacheng will have to thank Dong Chou for his help in the future. ”

Don't look at President Ge as a real person, maybe he is not a simple ordinary person in his position today. There was both closeness and courtesy in his words, and he also took today's opportunity to hint that Zhou Liwen had deposited money for the Lala business of Huacheng Branch. You must know that Huhai Bank has just started its business in Huacheng, and one of the important things to assess President Ge's work ability is to absorb savings.

Zhou Liwen knew his hint well, and accompanied by President Ge, the group walked straight into the bank gate. Due to the fact that the Huacheng branch of Huhai Bank has just opened, and the business of Huhai Bank in Huacheng has just begun, there are not many people in the beautiful hall, except for some sparse ordinary savings users, the corporate counter is basically empty.

"The decoration is good, this hall has to be 15oo square meters, right?" Zhou Liwen asked as he looked around.

"Dong Chou has good eyesight, less than 16oo square meters." Governor Ge tilted his thumb on the side and patted his ass.

More than 15oo square meters, except for the internal area of the counter and the service desk at the door plus the security rest area on the side, etc., the area of nearly 6oo square meters in the middle is basically empty, and the rows of metal waiting chairs do not have a customer seated, and even in front of the counter, there are only a few people going through the procedures.

"It's just opened, and this person is indeed a little less ......." President Ge saw Zhou Liwen's eyes looking at the customers who were going through the procedures, and smiled helplessly.

Crossing the hall and onto an internal elevator, they reached the reception room on the third floor. President Ge personally made two cups of good tea for Zhou Liwen and Guo Tao, who came with him, and then took a seat, and took the initiative to take out a good cigarette and salute it.

"Lao Ge, as soon as you meet, you are a sycophant and a good smoker and tea, do you want to erode me?" Zhou Liwen took a sip of tea and deliberately smiled and joked.

"Hehe, before coming to Huacheng, Director Yao told me that you are a warm-hearted and good person, so I can ask you directly if I have any difficulties in Huacheng. No, you happened to come here today, how can I miss this opportunity to ask you for advice. ”

Zhou Liwen suddenly laughed, of course he understood what President Ge said, didn't he just beat around the bush and told himself that he was Yao Liang's person? But yes, Yao Liang was in charge of this project at the beginning, and according to the rules, it was normal for him to nominate President Ge as the president of the Huacheng branch. Unexpectedly, Yao Liang, this kid really has a bit of talent for mixing with the banking system, so it didn't take much time to win over the princes.

Don't look at the current depression of the Huacheng branch, but Zhou Liwen believes that it will not be long before the Huacheng branch will become a pivotal member of the Shanghai banking system. Moreover, Zhou Liwen is still a shareholder of the bank, Yao Liang is his person, and since President Ge is Yao Liang's ally, he can barely be counted as his own person.

"Okay, I see what you mean. However, you have worshiped the wrong Bodhisattva in this matter, and you should find Mr. Guo. Of course, Zhou Liwen didn't care about reaching out to Governor Ge at this time, after all, sending charcoal in the snow is better than icing on the cake. immediately stretched out his finger and pointed at Guo Tao on the side.

"Me?" Guo Tao has been silent since he came in, and suddenly Zhou Liwen mentioned him, and couldn't help but be stunned, why did he look for him as a logistics bank and not a financial bank? I don't understand why Zhou Liwen said this.

(Today, a reader said why the protagonist always drives by himself and why he doesn't hire a driver.) Here's an explanation! The company has a driver, mentioned once in the previous chapter, as for their own driving is completely personal convenience and habit, not all bosses love to use drivers, because the use of drivers is sometimes very inconvenient, especially when it comes to business and private aspects, unless the boss is old or does not know how to drive to use a special driver. In addition, I have contacted several big bosses, including my own classmates, there are 11 companies under their names, assets of more than 100 million US dollars, whether commuting or going out never need a driver, I drive 17o Jaguar to and fro, even if I go to other places or foreign business trips, it is also a temporary shunting or local car rental, at most I will bring a deputy of the same company or something to take turns. ）
