Chapter 319 World Care Alliance
As soon as he entered the house, a black shadow pounced on Li Yuan excitedly.
"Damn! Huzi, come down for me! Huzi was followed by a small milk dog, which sniffed Li Yuan's trouser leg curiously, and Zhang Zhen smiled: "The other puppies have been given away." I left this tiger three. "Alright!
The name is as catchy and easy to understand as ever. Li Yuan rubbed the two dogs' heads: "Sister?" Not at home? Zhang Zhen was careless: "She? She and Xiao Pei went shopping. β
"Huh? You're calling me home in a hurry? Just let me see these two dogs? β
"It's like you have a national affair." Zhang Zhen glanced at her with disdain,
"I finally came to the capital, I should buy something, right?"
"Huh? Is my sister ready to do something? Why didn't I know? β
"You know what? After a while, accompany me back to my hometown, and the two families will have to meet. This time, the son-in-law came to the door first. Next year, the two of them will do something. "Okay!
Galeries Lafayette is angry, so bear with it!
"Fate, if you want to get married, the dowry should be added in the same way, right? Now that she is a cadre in the city, she doesn't know what the rules are. β
"Hey! Their development zone has been divided. The rest will be paid directly. Is one box enough? And what dowry? What can't you buy? β
"Nonsense!" Zhang Zhen said,
"That represents the importance of my mother's family! What does it mean to give money? β
"Okay, okay! Just watch it out! β
"I knew that my son was never reliable!" Too lazy to listen to my mother's nagging anymore. Li Yuan was ready to find his son to play.
Zhang Zhen was even more unhappy: "Yuanyuan, don't you think I'm annoyed?" Go to the kitchen and help kill the chickens! And two more fish to clean up! Li Yuan: "......"...... Nothing to say!
Be a butcher honestly! Lafayette can't afford to mess with it! Just as Li Yuan walked to the kitchen dejectedly, Gu Yuqin hugged Qiqi and suddenly shouted, "Yuanzi, I have your phone." The man spoke a foreign language. β
βοΌβ Li Yuan walked into the room suspiciously. He picked up the microphone: "Hello! β
"Hello, Lee. I'm Martin, and I'm good news for you, we've finished making samples of electronic pets. β
βοΌοΌοΌβ Li Yuanzhen didn't expect that Americans actually learned liver? Shouldn't it be delayed for months?
Do you really have the spirit of a king?
"Martin? How did the trial work? β
"It is to follow the design requirements you said, and realize all the functions you requested. The program is not difficult in the first place, and now small languages such as Japanese and Chinese are also outsourced. Moreover, the design of the product has basically been completed, and the spare parts manufacturers also have a booking goal. But I'm not good at business negotiations, so I need you to find another business representative? β
"That's good." Li Yuan nodded with satisfaction. As for the business representative? Horion and Erna can barely use it, and it's not a big problem.
In fact, by the early nineties, the technology and hardware of electronic pets had matured, and nothing more than an idea was needed.
So it's normal to be fast. However, Li Yuan was still a little uneasy: "Martin, send a few samples to China, and I'll try them again." β
"No problem."
"How's your trial going?" Li Yuan asked one more sentence,
"Isn't it fun? Do you feel like there's a market? Unexpectedly, there was a sudden silence in the microphone. After a long while, Martin suddenly said, "Lee! It's been an honor to work with you. I've had a great time. It is...... It's ......" Li Yuan frowned slightly.
He asked uncertainly, "Martin, why do you want to resign?" Don't know that the parallel line has already launched an IPO? Hearing the microphone, Martin took a few deep breaths: "Lee, in fact, we have all tried to play with electronic pets, all the members of the development team, I am talking about all!" They are all ...... Inexplicably, I don't see any market prospects at all. I'll admit, you started the parallel, and there is a lot of hope for going public, and you're going to be a multimillionaire, a billionaire in no time, maybe you're right. But my ideals are different. You've been ignoring technology development and unwilling to strengthen the team in the R&D department. Those custom homepages, internet communities, and this digital pet? What's in it? You don't even want to develop the latest version of the browser, you don't want to build a web portal, and many, many other new technologies! Alas! I'm sorry! Lee, if you admit that I'm your friend, listen to me β the Internet is a blue ocean, and there are so many mysterious, exciting new discoveries. But our parallel line has just set sail, how can you give up? What about giving up the whole parallel line? Listening to Martin's complaints, Li Yuan was silent.
In fact, Martin's complaint is also right and wrong. Those fat houses in the technical department, how can they know the beauty of electronic pets?
That's obviously for cute and stupid girls to play.,Especially if there's a little book...... Perhaps there are also differences in cultural background.
But in any case, the cyber pet is a total outbreak, and Martin can't stand it anymore
"Low-tech" too. But on the other hand, as long as he waits until the listing, Li Yuan will sooner or later give up the controlling stake in the parallel line and transfer the R&D center to China.
It can't be said that Martin doesn't feel right! At the end of the day, Martin is still the same idealist who has not been beaten by society at all.
Since the ideas don't match, let's get together and disperse!
"Martin, you should have a new job, right?"
"Li, I'm going to start a business with a few friends. Also, can you buy back my shares? I am short of $200,000. β
"Huh. I'll let Horryen arrange for the company to cancel your non-compete clause. $200,000 is my personal investment, and you can give some shares symbolically! Let Horrien deal with it as well. Also, keep 100,000 shares of the original parallel line for you. This should be a way out. Li Yuan didn't ask what industry he was doing at all, he just blindly invested.
It's kind of compensation for Martin!
"Thank you, thank you!" Martin looked excited.
"Huh. Don't forget about old friends in the future. I wish you success! β
"Oh! I recommend my assistant Finley for you. He can temporarily act as an agent for the technical department. In the development of electronic pets, it is his contribution specifically. Li Yuan was vaguely impressed: "He is the doctoral student of U?" "Maybe it's because Martin is tired of it that the development of electronic pets is so fast, right?
He had been looking forward to leaving. And Finley has already been found to be in charge?
"That's right! That's him! I'm going to call him and get him on the phone with you. β
"Hmm."
"Scoundrel! Cheer yourself up! Don't forget the dandelions! Fuck off the money! You know? β
"Huh!" I didn't expect Martin to be so secondary, but he was ...... It's cute! β¦β¦ Just as Li Yuan sighed for a long time, a calm voice came from the microphone: "Boss, I'm Finley." Do you have anything you need to command? Li Yuan was not interested in going around in circles at all.
Anyway, this Finley can act as an agent, and if it can't be an agent, let the headhunter poach people outside.
"Finley, what are your thoughts on the direction of parallel line development?" The voice suddenly was slightly excited: "Boss! I think your words have a deep meaning. β
"Oh?" Li Yuan was immediately interested. What is the deep meaning? I don't even know what it means.
it! This Finley is a social person, and he joined the Knife Sect in a blink of an eye. Martin
"The bones are not cold", did he start to take eye medicine? Finley said, "Boss! In the beginning, like everyone else, I thought you were just going to make the IPO a success and then cash out. But then I changed my mind β your goal is to create an Internet community and build a part of the Internet ecosystem. To make an analogy, there are actually some functions of government agencies. And we're employees of some government. Since the environment of the Internet is freer, the environment of our parallel lines will be more open. That's why you're the dreamer, you're the one who really wants to be a pioneer! Li Yuan: "......" For a while, Li Yuan didn't know what kind of expression to use.
Still pioneers? Isn't the title of pioneer a good luck ha? Finley still said with great interest: "Since our parallel line is a small government, we must try to maintain an objective and fair approach!" And profit and objectivity are in conflict. Only when we are objective and fair will we have a steady stream of customers. The blind pursuit of profit will lead to the loss of customers. But it can't be profitable, and the parallel community can't survive? That's why you have this kind of trick. β
"What's the trick?" To be honest, Li Yuan himself is quite curious, what reason can Finley come up with?
"Your custom homepage, IPO financing, is to keep the parallel line alive. After all, startups need to burn money! Burn lots and lots of money! We are also slow to develop technology, avoid the media characteristics of portals, and strive to maintain an image of an objective, fair, open and free company. But on the other hand, the main development of various games. After all, we will be a profitable listed company in the future, and we need a beautiful financial statement. Therefore, the income of the game business, which is the entertainment tax, is easy for customers to accept, and it will not affect our objective and fair image. β
"Oooh!" Li Yuan: Lie down! Talent! Special mother's real talent! This Finley actually managed to justify himself?
However, this also solves Li Yuan's biggest headache in the future - how to retreat from the parallel line reasonably!
The more Finley spoke, the more confident he became, and he continued: "Boss, I actually have another idea. β
"What thoughts?"
"We do have to make trade-offs. But there's one industry to get in β the funeral industry! β
"Funeral business?" Li Yuanhao was choked to death.
"Boss! Think about it: our community is actually an independent society on the Internet. With everyone being born, growing, getting married, having children, ...... and of course, being called by the grace of the Lord! Have a complete life experience. Don't worry, boss, those are also inheritance taxes. β
"Ahem, ahem!" Li Yuan almost couldn't hold back, you kid is an undercover agent sent by the IRS, right? Good guy, is this the rhythm of the World Care Alliance?
But no matter what, the reputation of the funeral king is too awkward, right?
"Finley, ...... you have this idea?" Hearing Li Yuan's hesitation, Finley hurriedly explained, "Boss! It was you who inspired me β we wanted to grow our business on our profile. β
"Huh?"
"Didn't you go on a TV show the other day? I have a friend who is a journalist based in China. He got the footage for me, and I got someone to translate it. "Lie down!
Li Yuan had nothing to say. Want to cross the ocean and find a video of a Chinese program in this era?
I don't know how much effort Finley put into it. Obviously, this kid has been premeditated...... Right? But this attitude ...... Brother Yuan, I like it!
Finley continued: "Boss! In fact, funeral companies in various places are very rich, and they are willing to pay for this advertising. There are also various religions, and we have to take care of the diversity of beliefs and give everyone comfort at the end of their lives. They are also willing to pay a large sum of money! There's even a sponsorship fee available every year! Li Yuan was right when he thought about it.
The funeral companies and messy religions in the United States are basically rich and involuted.
In my previous life, I had never heard of such a shared funeral? This Finley has a big enough brain, so I don't know if it's okay?
After thinking about it, I don't care if he can do it, anyway, I just toss! And continue to toss like this,
The "objective and neutral" Internet community is not completely uninitiated, maybe it will be able to brainstorm Internet social giants such as Witt and Facebook?
Li Yuan smiled: "Finley, then do it according to your train of thought." You're acting VP of Technology for the time being! Finley was overjoyed: "Thank you, boss!" I will definitely grow the company! Li Yuan said: "You still forgot a few things: the first thing, when I go public, my shareholding will be diluted to about 10%; The second thing, within five years, I will step down as CEO! Guarantee the objective neutrality of our parallel lines. Hehe, also, we will not force in terms of R&D, but we can invest in other Internet companies? In order to ensure our core competitiveness! In order to create a beautiful home for all Internet users! "Finley understands in seconds.
He also understood Li Yuan's hint: "Boss! You can rest assured. I promise it's your guy! Li Yuan smiled and said, "Then let's do the electronic pet business first." About trial questions...... So be it! I'll give you the contact information of the book and give it to their general agent. After the product comes out, try to sell it in this sub-market. "What Li Yuan is talking about is Morimura Bookstore.
Although they are publishing houses, what are they selling and not selling? And there are a lot of cute and stupid girls in the book.,Maybe they just like electronic pets?
Finley agreed without hesitation: "Boss! Leave it to me. Thank you! Thank you! β
ββ¦β¦ββ¦β¦ Hanging up the phone, Li Yuan was a little crying and laughing. This style of painting is very weird, huh? In the blink of an eye, he became a funeral king?
But at this moment, there was a sudden tiger roar: "Yuanyuan, are you still lazy?" Are the chickens ready to lay eggs? β
"The little one is comingββ! Don't dream about it yet. Let's kill the chicken obediently......
