Zhang Long was silent for a while, then looked up at Zhou Yan: "Zhou Yan, can you give me some time, I'll do a good job of communication."

"Okay, no hurry."

Zhou Yan smiled and nodded.

He knew that Zhang Long should have been moved, otherwise he would not have let go of his mouth under his resolute attitude.

The next thing is actually much easier.

"Then I'll take my leave first, Brother Zhou, I hope you don't disclose the patent matter to Ali for the time being, Penguin will definitely give you the most satisfactory answer." Zhang Long stood up and said to Zhou Yan with some seriousness.

Zhou Yan nodded.

He knew what Zhang Long meant, which was nothing more than to prevent competitors from ending up, for fear that he would sell at the price.

Although he also has this aspect of his mind, but now that the three-Q war has not yet begun, Zhou Yan is still more inclined to reach some cooperation with Penguin.

It is even possible to dig Zhang Long over.

Dedicated to running the WeChat project for him.

If you can really dig it up, even if you give Penguin a free license for QR code technology, you can do it.

After all, in the future, some projects will be operated, and QQ will be configured to sweep in advance, which will also save trouble.

Take the traffic for nothing, who doesn't want it.

However, Zhou Yan also knew that Brother Xiaoma's corner had to be pried step by step, and he still couldn't expose this idea for the time being.

It is good to take this opportunity to slowly test Zhang Long's attitude.

Zhou Yan looked at his phone, it was already half past four.

It's good to go with the porridge porridge first.

He turned on his phone and made a call to Lin Congee.

....

After Zhang Long left the living room of the Zhulang Studio, he did not leave immediately.

Instead, I took the elevator all the way up to the rooftop of the top floor.

Two people, a man and a woman, were already waiting on the rooftop.

They each carried a cup of milk tea in their hands, and there was a specially purchased Starbucks coffee next to them.

If Zhou Wan is here, she knows that the two of them are the husband and wife senior programmers she specially poached from Penguin, Fang Bo and Xu Mei.

Fang Bo handed the Starbucks coffee to Zhang Long and said with a smile, "Boss, your coffee."

Zhang Long nodded, took the coffee, and did not open it.

"Boss." Xu Mei also shouted crisply.

Zhang Long nodded, looked at the two of them, just smiled simply, and did not speak.

"Boss, don't stare at us like that, it's a little cold." Fang Bo's face was a little unnatural.

"At that time, when you submitted your resignation letter, I still wondered, if you don't do it with such a good treatment, you have to come to Hongcheng, it turns out that you have a relationship."

Zhang Long didn't have any sense of blame in it.

Fang Bo and Xu Mei were both members of his original team at Boda, and they followed Foxil to Penguin after he was acquired by Penguin.

But then he offered to resign, Zhang Long vaguely guessed something, and did not stop it.

Later, I also learned that the two of them went to the Chase Wave Studio in Hongcheng.

It is said that it is a direct student of two people, and the president of the current Chase Wave Studio dug his corner.

However, the two have always had a relationship, but the penguin did not allow office romance at that time, and Zhang Long also acquiesced to the departure of the two.

He knew that the penguin's environment was not very suitable for two people, so he did not force it to stay.

"Boss, I'm sorry."

was personally approached by the boss, Fang Bo touched his head a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, even if you get married, you don't invite me to drink the wedding wine, it's really not interesting." Zhang Long hammered Fang Bo's shoulder hard.

Xu Mei explained softly at this time, "Boss, Brother Fang and I were afraid that you would be too busy with work, so we didn't bother, and just held a simple wedding in our hometown."

Zhang Long smiled: "It's okay if you don't tell us, it just so happens that the money is also free."

Fang Bo heard what Zhang Long meant, and his face became more and more guilty: "Boss, I'm sorry."

Zhang Long smiled and shook his head: "No need to follow

I said I'm sorry, Chase Wave Studio is a good fit for you, just do a good job."

"Boss, did you come to Hongcheng to see us?" Fang Bo couldn't help but ask at this time.

Zhang Long was speechless: "I'm not so idle."

Fang Bo smiled awkwardly.

"Actually, look at what you mean, if the conditions here are not good, I can bring you back, after all, it is someone from my team, and you can resume your previous treatment if you rejoin." Zhang Long said.

Fang Bo was moved when he heard Zhang Long's words, but he still said: "Boss, I and Meizi have appreciated your kindness, but Meizi's parents and I are both in Hongcheng, and we have been working outside for so many years, and the family can't go back a few times a year, and working in Hongcheng can also be convenient for accompanying our parents."

"It's okay, I'm just mentioning it."

Zhang Long waved his hand.

Looking at Zhang Long's appearance of not caring on the surface, Fang Bo knew that the boss might care more about the departure of the two of them than everyone else.

He couldn't help but say, "Boss, the development prospects of the Chasing Waves Studio are very good, why don't you bring your brothers to Chase the Waves together."

"What kind of lake dialect?"

Zhang Long chuckled: "A campus entrepreneurship studio that has not even made a basic ecology, and even the direction of profit is very ambiguous, you just say that his development prospects are good, and you won't be treated well because of the waves, so let's just say it."

But the vision is really good.

Being able to register in advance to scan the patent gives him a headache.

But it is also limited to this, there are many emerging startups like Chase Wave Studio, and there are many achievements like Chase Wave, and even with the support of the Penguin Ecology of Guangzhou Province, it is not for nothing that they are doing better than Chase Wave Studio.

It is undeniable that although the studio has taken a wild path, this first step is indeed correct, using the user base of Penguin to operate the bounty group, realize traffic monetization, and reap huge benefits in terms of channels.

Of course, that's not all.

The promotion of the channel is not so easy.

Especially the Wave Chase Studio.

All channels have to be promoted step by step, and if they don't make features, they will always consume huge manpower.

Even when CMC and Hongcheng's flower language injected capital into the Zhulang Studio, even he, the technical staff, knew that it was a bit of a waste of money.

In his opinion, Chalang Studio is not worth the price.

"Boss, although Xu Mei and I have been in the Chase Wave Studio for a short time, we are really optimistic about the Chase Wave Studio, and it is inconvenient to say more about the specifics, but Boss, you have been in Penguin for five years and are still the manager of the technical department, I actually feel worthless for you." Fang Bo said softly.

Zhang Long smiled.

After five years as a manager, he was really not reconciled.

In fact, the competition within Penguin has always been fierce, especially those who started a business with Mr. Ma, and they have always occupied a position.

If he wants to come out, he can only wait for the opportunity.

Slowly boil it out.

Anyway, he has been staying for so long, and the most important thing is time.

He doesn't believe that those who are no longer capable, still occupy high positions and receive high salaries, and such penguins are really useless.

Zhang Long believes that this day will not be too long, and once the Weixin project is completed, Zhang Long believes that there will be a place for him in the T0 position.

As for the Wave Studio....

A wave-chasing studio that doesn't have enough monetization channels is doomed to stop in the future.

Except for a sweeping patent worthy of his attention, so far, nothing else has caught his eye.

Zhang Long told Fang Bo and Xu Mei about some of his thoughts about the Chase Wave Studio, but he saw that neither of them wavered, and even Fang Bo said Boss, you are a little one-sided.

Zhang Long knew that he couldn't persuade these two people.

He didn't know what was so good about Chase Wave Studio, so that two subordinates who were enough to become T3 would be willing to join the company.

Maybe the pay is really high.

In fact, Zhang Long also knows that maybe Zhulang Studio is not a company with good development prospects, but it may be suitable for Fang Bo and Xu Mei to settle down in Hongcheng.

In his opinion, in the future, the Chase Wave Studio may be in Hongcheng, or Xijiang will develop into a relatively good Internet technology company.

Fang Bo and Xu Mei can stay in the Chase Wave Studio, and they may also be the executives of the Chase Wave Studio in the future, so he really doesn't need to worry too much.

Zhang Long took a sip of coffee, saw that Fang Bo and Xu Mei were still standing in front of him a little cramped, and smiled: "Since you think it is right, just keep doing it, and you will be higher than me in the future."

"Boss." Fang Bo finally stepped forward and hugged Zhang Long.

"Alright, alright, don't be so sensual big man, I'll ask you two something."

Zhang Long waved his hand and looked at Fang Bo, his tone a little serious.

Fang Bo nodded: "Boss, you say."

"Did you participate in the research and development of this QR code scanning technology at that time?" Zhang Long asked the doubts in his heart.

Fang Bo and Xu Mei hesitated.

"If you don't want to say it, forget it." Zhang Long saw Fang Bo and Xu Mei's concerns and smiled.

Fang Bo couldn't help but say in the end: "Boss, the patented technology of Scan is mainly developed by one of our juniors, and we are responsible for perfecting it at most."

Xu Mei glanced at Fang Bo, but didn't say anything in the end.

She actually wanted to talk about it.

"That junior, is it called Zhou Wan?" Zhang Long asked.

Fang Bo hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

Actually, this is not a secret that cannot be revealed.

"I see."

Zhang Long understood a lot in his heart, and he had read Zhou Yan's information.

He is a first-year student in the Department of Mathematics at Hong University, but not in the Department of Computer Science.

Originally, he was still thinking that if the patented technology was in Fang Bo and Xu Mei, maybe he could still have a personal relationship.

Although some are not authentic.

But now, this sweeping technique was developed by Zhou Wan, the president of the Chase Wave Studio, that is, Fang Bo and Xu Mei's juniors.

Zhang Long believes that the relationship between Zhou Yan and Zhou Wan should not be very simple, and even if the two of them have the same surname, they may be brother and sister.

Zhang Long already knew it in his heart.

"Alright, you go down to work, I'll be quiet on this rooftop." Zhang Long said to Fang Bo and Xu Mei.

"Boss, you stay in Hongcheng for a few days." Fang Bo couldn't help but ask.

"It depends, we'll come out for dinner then." Zhang Long smiled.

"Okay."

Fang Bo and Xu Mei left.

Zhang Long came to the edge of the rooftop.

Looking at the late sunset, and the students walking together under the swaying camphor trees on campus.

"Lost youth, like the setting sun, will never return."

Zhang Long muttered, took out a lighter and a soft medium from his pocket, and smoked it with taste.

In the conversation with Zhou Yan just now, Zhang Long also knew that this was an extremely conceited young man.

Just like he did at the beginning.

They are all young and frivolous, young and vigorous, and arrogant.

However, if you don't have such characteristics, I'm afraid you won't succeed in starting a business.

Yes.

Zhang Long does not deny Zhou Yan's success.

At his age, he was already better than most people.

It's just that I still don't know how to be tactful.

Otherwise, he would not have made Mr. Ma unhappy after he took the initiative to add friends.

200 million, the acquisition of this patented technology, he also talked about it in exchange, but he didn't expect this guy to refuse directly.

Zhang Long took a puff of his cigarette and snuffed it out.

He is not in the habit of smoking whole roots.

Smoking just to keep his mind clear.

Zhou Yan's meaning is very clear, that is, he wants Penguin to use one million dollars to win the patent and authorize it for one year.

Even just liciting, Zhou Yan may also be delegated to other companies.

Zhang Long is well aware of the importance of the development of Chalang Studio.

He had been looking for a mobile phone port to sell for Pail's high price.

And this time, Zhou Yan showed him the sweeping function.

It also made Zhang Long see the broad prospects, the market, and the space for operation, and even he may only see the tip of the iceberg.

Of course, he didn't know that in the future, QR codes will occupy half of the sky on mobile phones.

Even because of the unique payment function of the QR code, it has become a powerful weapon for WeChat to harvest huge traffic and even compete with Ali's face recognition payment.

But even if he didn't foresee the grand occasion in the future, Zhang Long also knew that this QR code scan the patent and it must be held by Tencent.

Acquisition!

Must be acquired.

It is really overkill for a small company in Hongcheng to control this technology.

After confirming the thoughts in his heart, Zhang Long only felt that the air had become much fresher.

He would not allow a very important patent to remain in the hands of a small company.

He had to complete the acquisition of the patent.

Zhou Yan didn't know that his initial idea was to acquire.

Even if Zhou Yan doesn't agree, then try to buy Zhou Yan's start-up company, but it really can't work, and he has to occupy a stake in it.

In this way, it meets his expectations.

So, where is the breakthrough?

Zhang Long took out his mobile phone, opened QQ, looked at QQ's chat bar with Zhou Wan in Zhulang Studio, and clicked in.

The breakthrough is Zhou Wan of this R&D Wave Studio.

What Zhou Yan can't understand, some people should be able to understand.

Even if Zhou Yan still couldn't understand it, he didn't mind digging into Zhou Yan's corner.

Although the programming logic of QR code scanning is not difficult, it is not a simple thing to make.

Zhou Wan had already shown him her strength.

He is bound to look for a breakthrough here in Zhou Wan.

After thinking everything through, the corners of Zhang Long's mouth hung a surging smile.

....

In the living room,

Zhou Yan didn't leave immediately.

Tang Tang sent a message and said that Tang Xin asked her to ask herself if she wanted to move in with the two of them.

Zhou Yan fell into deep thought.

After all, this proposition is really tempting....
