The news of Shanda's listing in the United States swiped the industry news in mid-May, and Luo Sheng breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, and the attention of the industry and the media finally shifted, and secretly thanked Mr. Chen.

The company is stared at by the media all day long, as if it is illuminated by countless magnifying glasses, which makes Luo Sheng very uncomfortable and helpless.

There are more and more media who want to interview him and do programs, but without exception they have all resigned, this year is a key node, the Cote d'Azur company was established this year, for Luo Sheng, the time is very urgent, and he definitely doesn't have the heart to go out and brag or something.

As soon as the middle of May passed, his focus was once again on the Cote d'Azur company, and the busyness of this period of time has basically finalized the main affairs of Bluestar Technology, and the following things can be developed according to the established arrangement, and there are two important products left in the second half of this year, one is [Yunge knows], and the other is [BluestarVideo], mainly the latter project.

……

Mid to late May.

"Reed Communications' acquisition has been completed and the integration was completed last week, with a total cost of ¥221 million for a wholly-owned acquisition. In addition, the Cote d'Azur company has won a piece of land on Yangchenghu Avenue, which has been approved, 50 million. ”

Qin Weimu came to Luo Sheng's office to report on the relevant work of the Cote d'Azur company.

With the rapid development of Bluestar Technology, the company has become a science and technology enterprise that Sioux City is focusing on, and there have been leaders who have come to inspect twice this year to ask what difficulties there are and so on.

As a prefecture-level city, it is rare to have such one of the top Internet technology companies in the country, and according to today's development momentum, it is faintly going to become one of the leading Internet companies in the national Internet industry.

Luo Sheng has established a new technology company this year, and the Cote d'Azur company has attracted great attention from Sioux City once it was established.

The registered capital of the company has reached 2.6 billion yuan, and it is impossible not to pay attention to it.

Sioux City is happy, but the neighbor next door brother Shencheng is depressed, the company has become a key support high-tech enterprise unit in Sioux City once it landed, and has given many preferential policies, such as land transfer, tax exemption for three years.

Luo Sheng values the preferential policy of land transfer the most, as for the tax exemption policy, frankly speaking, even if this tax is not exempted, the Cote d'Azur company has not paid any tax in the past three years, because the doxxing has been constantly throwing money into it for the past three years.

It can only be said that the leadership is still powerful......

Even Bluestar Technology, now pay a little bit of business tax, or through the income of hao123 navigation website, as for other products are in the loss-making operation stage, all rely on VC investment to support the company's operation.

However, the hao123 website is now quite eye-catching, now it can create more than 10 million turnover a month, and it can earn about 150 million yuan a year, but the money earned is basically used to burn the money war, but it also saves a lot of money for the company, at least hao123 can basically be self-sufficient, and now the industry is aware of the importance of navigation websites, and there is no navigation website for search engines.

This time, the Cote d'Azur company won the land, which is next door to the land won by Bluestar Technology, that is, in the southeast of Tiandujiao Village, separated by a river in the middle, and the area is one-fifth larger than Tiandujiao.

However, as a high-tech company, even if it makes a profit in the future, there is a tax reduction policy, which is the state's strategy to support the development of high-tech industries.

Luo Sheng took so much land for long-term planning, not for some companies to get licenses to enjoy tax exemptions and exemptions in the name of technology companies, and to do real estate resale business behind the scenes.

The purpose of getting these lands is to develop on this land in a real way, rather than some people taking the land to delay the construction period indefinitely and build it slowly, but in fact they are waiting for the land premium, and then sell it when it is almost over, making several times or even ten times the profit.

"What is the approximate ratio of human resources after the company's integration?" Luo Sheng asked casually while looking at the documents she sent.

"After the completion of the acquisition of Reed Communications, the current number of employees in the company is 1,259, of which 1,133 are technical research and development personnel, accounting for about 90%." Qin Weimu quickly replied.

The biggest purpose of the acquisition of Reed Communications is to recruit a relatively complete technical research and development team at one time, which is the core starting point of Luo Sheng's acquisition.

At this time, Qin Weimu added: "By the way, I have rented the office building next to it, Block 5, as the temporary headquarters of the Cote d'Azur company. ”

Luo Sheng is the founder and head of the two companies, but he should handle the affairs of this company on the side of Bluestar Technology, and the affairs of the Cote d'Azur company are in the office over there.

Otherwise, it will fall into management chaos, and at the same time, it is also to avoid occupying the resources of Bluestar Technology and causing dissatisfaction among investors.

Anyway, it will be next to each other, and in the future, the independent headquarters of the two companies will also be next to each other.

After briefly reading the materials, Luo Sheng closed the document and looked up at Qin Weimu and said, "What about the employees of the Cote d'Azur Company?" I said the day before yesterday that I asked all the technicians to come to Sioux City, have they all arrived? ”

Qin Weimu said: "All of them will be available tomorrow, and now we will arrange to stay in the hotel, and the company will reimburse the expenses." ”

The original Reed Communication is in Shencheng, there are several laboratories there, and there are some equipment, which are not the world's top, but they can be used, Luo Sheng does not plan to move them all, and there is no place to settle here, after taking the land, it is necessary to step up the construction of the experimental base and the introduction of related equipment, but it will take time.

As for the headquarters building, it is by no means a matter to consider now, don't look at the company's billions, in fact, without spending, Luo Sheng spent hundreds of millions of dollars at every turn during this time, or even more than a billion yuan, but Luo Sheng will never spend the money that should not be spent, and temporarily rent a commercial office building first.

"Well, in this case, you arrange a large conference room in the hotel, notify the more than 1,000 engineers, I will meet with them the day after tomorrow, and prepare a confidentiality agreement, and everyone who enters the venue must sign." Luo Sheng thought about it and said.

More than a thousand non-disclosure agreements?

Qin Weimu said, "Are you sure it's not a joke?" With a non-disclosure agreement of a thousand people, the risk of leakage is theoretically more than 70%, or even higher. ”

Luo Sheng smiled: "Of course I know this, because what I want to tell them is fundamentally not too secretive, but I still signed this confidentiality agreement to remind them of the importance of this job." ”

I see.

Qin Weimu didn't have any doubts, and immediately nodded slightly: "Okay, then I'll deal with it." ”

There are more than 1,000 confidentiality agreements, which will be completed tomorrow, and the time is quite rushed, Luo Sheng didn't say anything specific, Qin Weimu herself is a top professional legal person, and she knows how to draw up confidentiality agreements better than Luo Sheng.

……

Two days passed, under Qin Weimu's arrangement, the meeting place was a five-star hotel in Xiangcheng District, and the 1,133 engineers of the Cote d'Azur company were notified yesterday, and signed a confidentiality agreement on the same day, 1,107 people signed it, and the rest did not sign it.

Luo Sheng directly fired them, without much hesitation, Ci was not in charge of the army, which made the 26 people who refused to sign very confused, and they were fired inexplicably.

Without exception, these people who were fired were all technicians of the original Reed Communications, and the people who were transferred from Bluestar Technology all signed without hesitation, and most of them were core backbones, including early entrepreneurial team members Bai Lang and Lu Siming, who were also transferred to the Cote d'Azur company.

The 26 people who were fired don't have to worry about not finding a job, it's a big deal to go back to their old employer, Dexin Wireless, and the practitioners in the IT industry are still very popular, but they actually regret it, because after the acquisition of Reed Communications, the Cote d'Azur announced a doubling of the salary of all employees on the same day.

As soon as Reed Communication's hat was taken off and the hat of the Cote d'Azur company was put on, the salary immediately doubled, who wouldn't want to work with a generous boss?

At about half past ten in the morning, 1,107 employees have arrived, all gathered in the conference room of the hotel's multimedia hall, just waiting for the legendary boss to appear, everyone is very curious, because from the signing of the confidentiality agreement, you can feel that today's meeting is not ordinary.

For the next plan, Luo Sheng attaches great importance to the confidentiality work, even harsh, even if a staff meeting is held to tell them what the company is going to do next, without any technical details, it is still necessary to sign a confidentiality agreement.

As for entering the formal development sequence, each person only knows what he is responsible for, and he does not know any information about other plates, and even some sections cannot tell the development team what they are doing for this.
