Chapter 41: Penguin Technology
> "Really don't go to travel?" ”
The next day, Chen Qingqing still had some feelings that what happened yesterday was too unreal.
"What are you doing with travel, there will be time in the future, and I want to register a company now."
"Ah......h
Chen Qingqing sighed, only to realize that yesterday's qiē didn't seem to be dreaming.
"What, ah, Sister Qing, let's go, take me to the industrial and commercial bureau near Yanjing."
"Really sign up?"
"Of course, but now the minimum capital to register a company is 100,000, do you have it?"
It's not that Chen Qingqing suspects Zhang Ning, they have been neighbors since childhood, and although Zhang Ning's family is not poor, they are not rich.
In 2000, ordinary people, how could they casually take out a 100,000 yuan.
"Although the money is not much, there is still 100,000."
Zhang Ning didn't say how much money he had, but urged Chen Qingqing to hurry out.
"Really? Where did the 100,000 come from? ”
"I'll sue you, is this the money I made from making software?"
Zhang Ning casually found a reason, but Chen Qingqing nodded, somewhat convinced.
Last night, he used QQ, an instant messaging software made by Zhang Ning.
Although I sighed at how Zhang Ning, a little kid, learned so much professional knowledge at such a young age, I have to say that Zhang Ning's QQ made Zuò is not only beautiful, but also simple and practical, just by looking at it, she has some likes this software. In particular, when Zhang Ning said that this software supports sending messages offline, Chen Qingqing was even more shocked.
You know, such a function is not even ICQ and OICQ.
In this way, for Zhang Ning, Chen Qingqing's eyes were full of mystery.
Could it be that this guy is a genius, why didn't he find out when he was a child?
However, no matter what, now I feel the difference between Zhang Ning, although Chen Qingqing has no intention of resigning for the time being, but I finally figured it out that Zhang Ning is not joking with himself, he really came to Yanjing to open a company.
"Okay, let's go, I'll see what kind of company you can open."
With that, the two of them were about to leave the room. At this time, Chen Qingqing looked at Zhang Ning's face, and suddenly thought of something, "Put on your hat, the sun is quite big today." ”
"Okay."
Zhang Ning didn't have the habit of wearing a hat before, but after wearing it for a long time recently, he feels that wearing a hat is quite individual.
Look, this is definitely low-key luxury with connotation.
"By the way, Xiao Ning, what's the name of your company?"
Sitting in the taxi, Chen Qingqing asked.
"Forehead ......"
Zhang Ning was a little embarrassed, he really forgot about it.
"You don't want to forget about that, do you?"
Looking at Zhang Ning's embarrassed expression, Chen Qingqing suddenly felt so bad, is this still the monster-like guy last night?
"Haha, where did you forget, it's just that the name is a little strange."
Zhang Ning snorted, where would he say forget jì, hurry up and search for what name is good in his mind.
It's just that Zhang Ning couldn't think of a suitable name for a while.
Finally, the image of a penguin appeared in front of Zhang Ning's eyes.
"Yes, let's call it Penguin Tech."
Although the name is a little strange, it is in the same vein as the QQ that he will launch soon in the future.
Moreover, this name is also very beneficial for the future operation of the brand.
The most amazing thing is that the current Ma Huateng, they are not using penguins as the image of OICQ.
"What's that name?"
"Penguin Tech."
"Penguins?"
Chen Qingqing covered her mouth and was amused by Zhang Ning.
"Can you think of a good name, why do you call it a penguin?"
"Sister Qing, isn't this penguin good?
"It feels weird."
"What's weird, when our company becomes famous, you won't feel weird. Besides, some well-known companies in foreign countries don't necessarily have good names. Just like Apple, do you think Apple was a good name before Apple was famous? And the current portal Sina, I'm afraid it's not very good. And, Sister Qing, didn't you see the QQ software I developed yesterday? Doesn't my QQ image look like a penguin? ”
"Hey, to hear you say that, this penguin's name feels pretty good."
"That's it."
"Well, the company is yours anyway, if you call it a penguin, you can call it a penguin. Even if you call it a polar bear, I don't object to it. ”
After discussing the name, the two soon arrived at the industrial and commercial bureau.
I filled out some forms, paid some handling fees, and then came to get the certificate in a week, and it was OK.
However, after registering the company. For renting an office building, Zhang Ning was a little depressed.
"Xiao Ning, what kind of office building do you want to rent, I showed you several of them, but you are not satisfied."
Unconsciously, Chen Qingqing no longer called Zhang Ning a little pervert, but called Xiao Ning.
"Okay, let me tell you, the area of the office building must be large and spacious, at least 1,000 square meters."
Of course, to be honest, Zhang Ning has some feelings that a 1,000-meter square office building is not enough. After all, this is the instant messaging software that will dominate the Chinese Internet in the future. However, think of the dot-com bubble period now. Thinking that many people are not optimistic about the Internet, and thinking that they will have to burn a lot of money in the future, Zhang Ning will temporarily rent a 1,000 square meter. And if Chen Qingqing knew that renting a 1,000-square-meter office would be enough, she would probably have to be stunned again.
"What, 1,000 square meters, you're too big, Xiao Ning, you've just started a company, why do you want such a big office building." Moreover, the Internet industry is now burning money. What if you invest so much at once now, what if you can't turn over the funds at that time? ”
"It's okay, there's no problem with money for the time being. And, if we don't rent a bigger office space now. At that time, the company's business expanded, and it had to move. You're not tired, I'm still tired. ”
"You ......"
Chen Qingqing was so angry at Zhang Ning's answer that he was going crazy, this guy has too high a vision.
Now that he is open, he is fortunate not to lose money in three years, and he still wants to expand.
"I'm mad at you."
"If you are angry, you will admire how wise I am."
Zhang Ning didn't move at all, "Let's go, continue to look at the house." ”
"Okay, if you really want to rent more than 1,000 square meters, then you have to go to Zhongguancun, where there is such a big office building."
"Why didn't you say it sooner."
"It's because you didn't say it sooner."
"Okay, okay, okay, let's go to Zhongguancun."
Sure enough, the office buildings here in Zhongguancun are high-end and atmospheric.
Zhang Ning has just arrived, and there are several sets of office buildings of more than 1,000 square meters with the word "rental" written on them. However, after walking over, seeing that several companies were preparing to move away, Chen Qingqing once again told Zhang Ning, "Xiao Ning, have you really thought about it?" You see, so many Internet companies are going to close their doors, so you better be careful. ”
Zhongguancun is mostly a number of technology companies, and naturally, most of the companies such as Internet technology are also here. In the early years, these companies also mixed well, such as some software companies, and at the same time, with the Internet frenzy in the United States, dozens or hundreds of Internet technology companies emerged in Zhongguancun. But when the dot-com bubble hit. In just one year, sixty percent of the companies have closed.
However, Zhang Ning is very confident in this.
"Sister Qing, I came to Yanjing to think about it clearly, rest assured, if it doesn't succeed this time, I will become a benevolent."
"Chengren is good, if it doesn't work out then, you can jump into the river."
"Okay, if it doesn't work, I'll jump into the river."
Zhang Ning swore an oath. But this startled Chen Qingqing, "No, you really plan to do so." ”
Seeing that Chen Qingqing cared so much, Zhang Ning smiled, "Stupid, the world is so beautiful, how can I jump into the river." ”
"Flim Flam."
The two of them said as they looked at all kinds of office information.
"Okay, that's it."
The source houses of the Grade A office buildings here in the east of the city are good, spacious, and the traffic is good, Zhang Ning didn't want to look at it anymore, and he made a decision on the spot.
"Boss, how is this office building rented?"
"Our office buildings here are all high-end office buildings, and it's really time for you to come, and they've been doing promotions lately. Originally, it cost 4 yuan per square meter here, but now it has been reduced to 3 yuan per square meter. ”
Zhongguancun's real estate sales lady introduced to Zhang Ning.
"3 yuan is a square meter, 1000 square meters is 3000 yuan, and it is not expensive."
Zhang Ning calculated the corners of his mouth, and suddenly felt that the rent here was really cheap.
Don't say that you have more than 20 million in your bank card, even if you have 2 million, you can afford to rent it.
However, when the corners of Zhang Ning's mouth were counted, Chen Qingqing glanced at Zhang Ning, "Xiao Ning, the number of words written is calculated as rent on a daily basis." If it weren't for someone there, Chen Qingqing really wanted to say something again, "I don't even know this, and I actually came out to start a company." Moreover, it is 1000 square meters, and now I am scared silly. ”
"Ah......h
This said that even Zhang Ning was startled.
"Damn, then on a daily basis, a 1,000-square-meter office building will cost 90,000 yuan a month's rent. If you want it a year, it will cost 1 million. ”
With this calculation, Zhang Ning couldn't help but feel a little painful.
No wonder Brother Xiao Ma and these guys are so miserable, not to mention other expenses, even the rent is dead.
Of course, the most important thing is not that office rents are expensive. The problem is that in the first few years, Zhang Ning planned to invest money to enter the market all the time, and he didn't want to make any money from instant messaging. can calculate now, although he now has 20 million in hand. But pay the rent, advertise, recruit people, and get something else, and I don't know where the 20 million will go.
However, they have all come here, and Zhang Ning will not go back.
Do you want Zhang Ning to stay in the house he rented like Ma Yun did when he started his business?
Although this is not impossible, when there are conditions, Zhang Ning still wants to make the conditions better.
After thinking about it, Zhang Ning said, "How about I sign an agreement with you?" ”
"What agreement?"
"If I have a way to make the rent here rise to 4 yuan a square meter, how about you let me rent this office building for a year for free?"
"This ......"
The sales lady hesitated, she couldn't be the master of this thing.
However, Zhang Ning's remarks attracted the attention of another person.
"Sir, if you can raise the price of all the houses here to 4 yuan per square meter. We in Zhongguancun don't say that we can let you rent for free for one year, that is, rent for free for three years, five years, I can also agree to come down. ”
After the voice finished speaking, soon a middle-aged man walked over and handed Zhang Ning a business card, "The contemptible surname is Huang, and he is the manager of the Zhongguancun department." ”
"Haha, Manager Huang, you are a cheerful person at first glance."
Zhang Ning was overjoyed and took the business card, which had the word Huang Yong written on it.
"Okay, let's sign this agreement now."
Saying that, Zhang Ning wanted the staff here to draw up a contract to prevent him from repenting.
"Wait......"
"What, Manager Huang repented?"
"How come, I, Huang, still speak a word. Still, this gentleman. Before you let our property increase by 4 yuan per square meter, do you pay the rent for one year first? ”
With this, Zhang Ning immediately understood what this Manager Huang meant. It was clear that they didn't believe Zhang Ning, thinking that this guy was trying to fool people. However, think about it, if there is a way to do this, it is estimated that he will already be a billionaire, you know, flipping houses is more profitable than any business.
"Haha, it turns out that Manager Huang doesn't believe it. But it doesn't matter, I can pay rent for a year. However, the agreement I just mentioned is also added. ”
Zhang Ning didn't bother with this Huang Yong, but agreed very happily.
Similarly, Huang Yong saw that Zhang Ning promised to pay the rent first, and he also happily wrote about the condition that Zhang Ning just said.
Another half an hour, when the two sides signed the contract and handed over smoothly, Zhang Ning walked into the number of words he had rented.
"Sister Qing, in the future, this will be where we will work."
Looking at the more than 1,000 square meters of writing, Zhang Ning has a feeling that the hope of the future will start here.
