Chapter 139: The Same Kind
"We can't fight for capital with Dagang City, and differentiated competition is not to fall into the rhythm of the opponent and compete in his advantageous direction." Zhou Shuo put the steering wheel with both hands, looked at the traffic in front of him intently, and subconsciously said: "On the contrary, we have to pull the enemy to the direction we are good at, and then defeat them with rich experience." β
"So in which direction do we have a lot of experience?" Dongfang Ke sat in the passenger seat and asked curiously.
"Well, hehe, what I'm going to do is have a lot of experience." Zhou Shuo hit the steering wheel, and the Cherokee stopped steadily in the parking space.
At this time, although it was still the middle of February, Zhou Shuo had already taken off his windbreaker and padded jacket, and only wore a thicker sweater and shirt on his body. The collar of the shirt is turned out from the collar of the sweater, which is a popular way to wear it in this era. The shirt is a crisp and really good fabric, clean and neat. But what he thinks is the most precious thing is the sweater on his body.
The bright red sweater is carefully woven with a braid-like pattern, which is quite a pastoral style. This is the sweater that Li Zhi took more than two months to weave, and he wanted to give it to him during the Chinese New Year. However, it was the first time for the little girl to make a sweater, and it was inevitable that she was a little unskilled, and it took more than half a month longer than expected to weave it. At this time, some chemical fibers will be added to the wool, and the woolen sweater is warm but a little prickly when worn on the body. Li Zhi deliberately used his salary to buy him a white cotton shirt in the department store, which was comfortable and handsome to wear under the sweater.
"The weather in the south is different from our northeast." Dongfang Ke jumped out of the car and said with emotion: "It's only been so hot in February, I haven't done anything, and I'm already sweating just sitting in the car." β
"Zhuhai is a big city, and there are too many high-rise buildings. This is called the heat island effect. The bigger the city, the higher the temperature. Don't say it's the south, in the future, we will not see snow in Xiucheng. Zhou Shuo said with emotion.
"Baoshan Software Company, it's here!" Dongfang Ke looked around, shouted as if he had found a new continent, and pointed to a plaque not far away.
It's a very small faΓ§ade with a plaque next to it that reads "Zhujiang Baoshan Software Company". Zhou Shuo led Dongfang Ke across the road and stood in front of its gate.
"This is the Baoshan software you are looking for, principal?" Dongfang Ke said a little incredulously: "It's too shabby, isn't it?" Are you in the wrong place? β
1995 was the most difficult time for Baoshan Software Company, with financial difficulties and scarce personnel, which did seem a little down.
"That's right!" Zhou Shuo held down Dongfang Ke's hand flipping the map. Quite reverently said: "This is it, don't be rude, let's go in." β
"Oh." Dongfang Ke put away the map, and under the drive of Zhou Shuo's temperament, he also followed him in with some seriousness.
"Who are you looking for?" A somewhat haggard man in his thirties came out with a basin of water. Seeing Zhou Shuo and Dongfang Ke, he couldn't help asking.
Zhou Shuo saw him. He hesitated. He asked hesitantly, "It's Mr. Qiujun, right?" β
The appearance of the person in his memory gradually matched the person in front of him, and Zhou Shuo was a little happy. I didn't expect it to be so fateful, and the first person I saw in the place was him!
Qiu Jun poured the water in the basin on the roots of the trees on the side of the road. He nodded, and said with some confusion: "That's right, it's me, who are you?" Looking for me? β
Zhou Shuo pointed to himself and Dongfang Ke. Xiang Qiujun introduced: "Hello, my name is Zhou Shuo, and this is my secretary Dongfang Ke. We are from Bohai Province, I don't know if you have heard of Xiucheng's Xinke Computer Company? β
"Embroidered City?" Qiu Jun thought about it carefully. He shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I don't have any impressions." β
"It's okay, don't we know each other now!" Zhou Shuo patted his chest and said: "I am the chairman of Xinke Computer Company, and I want to talk to Mr. Qiujun about a business this time." β
"Oh, then please come in." Qiu Jun took the basin and stepped out of the way, inviting Zhou Shuo and Dongfang Ke in.
The two of them were put on a set of sofas in the living room by Qiu Jun, and he himself turned around and went back to the bathroom.
"Headmaster, this person is the big guy you want to invite?" Dongfang Ke looked at Qiu Jun's back and said with some disgust: "It doesn't look good, it won't be a straw bag, right?" β
It's no wonder that Dongfang Ke has this feeling, whether it is Niu Xing or Tang Jun who can be looked at by Zhou Shuo, which one does not speak and do things in a set? The Ox Star people are a little ugly, but their personality is charismatic, and their inspiration skills are full. Anyone who stays with him for a while will willingly obey his management. Tang Jun is different, he has studied in Japan and worked at Microsoft in the United States, and he has seen a lot of the world. Not only will he behave in the world, but he will also be approachable and unforgettable, and he can really be regarded as a person.
But what is this Qiu Jun? Dongfang Ke couldn't help but sneer. This man looked naΓ―ve, his eyes were swollen like light bulbs, and when he smiled, he couldn't see anything when he squinted. I don't dare to look at people when I talk to them, and I don't seem to be doing anything right when I'm loose and hanging. It is really far from the image of a successful person or a business elite in his mind.
Zhou Shuo glared at him fiercely, and said: "Qiu Jun is the banner of the first generation of programmers in China, do you think that people who have to be human-like and polite are talents?" Qiu Jun is a hundred times more important than that kind of talent! Our Fanhan Group is built on such a backbone in order to be as stable as Mount Tai! β
Dongfang Ke saw that Zhou Shuo was angry, so he didn't dare to say more. After waiting for a while, Qiu Jun came out of the bathroom, and finally didn't feel as depressed as before.
"I'm sorry, you two have been waiting for a long time." Qiu Jun poured a glass of water for the two of them and asked, "Before, Mr. Zhou said that he wanted to talk to me about a business, but I don't know what kind of business Lu Dao is?" β
"That's right." Zhou Shuo organized the language and said, "Does Mr. Qiu know that there is a software park project in Bohai Province now?" Mainly in the direction of software service outsourcing to Japan, we are competing with Dagang City for this project. β
Qiu Jun took a sip of water from the cup, and said shyly, "What does this have to do with me?" I'm just a programmer, and I don't have the power to influence the government. β
"Mr. Qiu is too modest!" Zhou Shuo said seriously: "For us, you are the key to determining victory or defeat!" In the Chinese software industry, who doesn't know the name of Lu Dao Qiujun? If Mr. Qiu is willing to join my Fanhan Group as the project manager of Fanhan Software Lab, it will be very beneficial for Xiucheng to win the software park project. And personally, I would love to have you on board. β
Qiu Jun was stunned, obviously he didn't expect that Zhou Shuo was actually here to poach, and it was the general manager of Zhuhai Baoshan Software Company who was poached, that is, himself......
"Me, I still have my own company." Qiu Jun swallowed.
"I'll buy it!" Zhou Shuo slapped the table and said, "Is 10 million enough?" I remember that the original chairman of Hong Kong Baoshan invested 1 million, right? I've bought all the shares of both of you! β
Qiu Jun was taken aback by Zhou Shuo's neatness, and subconsciously said, "I still have my own project." β
"WPS, right? Come to Xiucheng and I'll build a project team for you! Zhou Shuo waved his hand, looked into his eyes and said, "Is a hundred people enough?" Not enough for two hundred! Mr. Qiu, don't think I'm joking, these can be assured to you on paper! β
"No, that's not what I meant." Qiu Jun was obviously stunned by Zhou Shuo's aggressive momentum, and said at a loss: "It's just that your request is too sudden, I need to think about it." β
Zhou Shuo is indeed as eager and impatient for Qiu Jun as he appears, Qiu Jun is not a qualified businessman, but he is a natural software genius. From his experience, it can be seen that this man is a person who only has programs in his eyes.
In 1986, Qiujun set off from his hometown to Beijing and wrote a general driver for a printer. He sold the program for 2,000 yuan to the Sifang Company, which sold hundreds of sets for 500 sets. Later, he wrote WPS, which took more than a year to develop after falling ill several times. Hong Kong Baoshan Company sold 30,000 sets for more than 2,200 yuan, but only gave him a small bonus.
Money doesn't seem to matter so much to him.
It is such a person who is a little "stupid" in the eyes of later generations, and with his genius in software, he has supported Baoshan Software Company to become one of the top software companies in China. Zhou Shuo was on him, and he smelled a breath of the same kind.
"What is Mr. Qiu still hesitating about?" Zhou Shuo said sincerely: "Are you worried that my temple is too small to accommodate your ambitions?" β
"I-" Qiu Jun said with some hesitation, "I didn't mean that. β
However, Zhou Shuo still read a little bit of information in his expression, obviously Qiu Jun had his own considerations. If money isn't that important to him, then what does he care about? I guess it's a project. The reason why I did not agree to Zhou Shuo's invitation was also because I was concerned about the continuity of the WPS project.
Historically, the development of WPS97 lasted four years, and Qiu Jun even sold his villa in order to persevere. It was this emotion that drove him to lead the development team for four years, working 12 hours a day, 365 days a year, to complete the development of WPS97.
But now that a company with an unknown reputation suddenly came out and said that it was going to acquire Baoshan Software Company, how could he not worry about whether it would bring unexpected twists and turns to the WPS project? (To be continued......)
