Zijin Hotel, the best hotel in Zijin City, has been inherited for more than a thousand years, and was the premier restaurant in Zijin a thousand years ago. Since ancient times, the Zijin area has been rich, with fish and rice and salt and iron in parallel, and the people here also pay attention to enjoyment, eating and playing. This thousand-year-old hotel is a representative of eating and playing. The consumption here is extremely high, and it is not something that ordinary families like Zhang Cundao can afford.

Zhang's father occasionally came here to eat, but he was always treated by the gold owner. Today, Zhang Cundao, Zhu Xuanxuan and Mr. Zhu came here together, and they also came here to have a treat.

There were two friends from Guangnan who visited Mr. Zhu, and Mr. Zhu naturally chose to entertain guests here in order to fulfill the friendship of the landlord. And Zhang Cundao was also called, which naturally had an interest in him.

In the box, taking advantage of the fact that the guests did not arrive, Mr. Zhu said to Zhang Cundao: "This editor-in-chief Hou is the chief editor of Guangnan Media Group, and he has a wide range of contacts, and Guangnan Media Group also has several investment funds, which represent the interests of those rich people in Guangnan. ”

"The information technology company they invested in has some overlap with you in terms of business, and this time I brought the CEO of that company over, and I think I came to negotiate with you."

When Mr. Zhu said this, Zhu Xuanxuan beside her was a little unhappy, and she said coquettishly: "Dad, since this is the case, this is also a good banquet, so what are we going to do?" Then normal market competition. ”

Zhu Xuanxuan still feels sorry for Zhang Cundao, his career has improved, and someone came to obstruct it, and his old father is still helping outsiders! It made her angry.

Lao Zhu glanced at his daughter, this is really a girl outward, and a woman is not left! But there is no way, who told him to spoil his daughter. So he patiently explained: "Good daughter, market competition is not used like this. Now the company has improved, but it is still very immature. If you directly confront others, this is just a waste of strength, and it is easy for others to take advantage of it. ”

He glanced at Zhang Cundao and found that Zhang Cundao also nodded, agreeing with his words. He felt some comfort in his heart, although Zhang Cundao was the same age as his daughter, his heart was much better than that of other young people. He doesn't look like a young man in his early twenties at all, but more like a middle-aged man in his thirties and forties.

He continued to say to the two juniors: "Nowadays, the information industry is mixed, and there are no particularly strong companies as leaders, and the competition below is already fierce. Cundao can make chat software, and other companies can too. And that company in Quang Nam now occupies a good share. If they compete with each other now, it will be the snipe and the mussel competing for the fisherman's profit. It's better to negotiate well, and then make the market bigger and hit other potential opponents. ”

He glanced at Zhu Xuanxuan and said, "This is the same as when you win over your head classmates at school and hit other classmates." As long as the head advantage is formed, the dimensionality is reduced and others are hit, and it is difficult for others to turn over. ”

Zhu Xuanxuan's face changed slightly when she heard this, she glanced at Zhang Cundao, and hurriedly said, "Where did I hit other classmates, Dad, don't talk nonsense." ”

Mr. Zhu has been immersed in business for decades, and although what he said was cruel, this is the essence of business. The more oligarchic the industry, the less dynamic the industry is. Because as long as there are startups that make some achievements, the oligarchs will either buy or strangle.

Zijin Mining has definitely done a lot of things in this regard, deceiving other companies to buy depleted ore veins, using other companies to develop difficult ore veins, and then using its own volume to operate the market, boiling other people's companies to death, and then swallowing and taking over other companies.

The information industry is an emerging industry that has only developed in recent years, and everyone is busy with the layout, and there is no head company that is so large that it is amazing.

The three of them were talking, and after a while, the secret art pushed the door in and said, "Mr. Zhu, the guest has arrived." ”

Mr. Zhu took Zhang Cundao and Zhu Xuanxuan and said, "Let's go, go to the door to greet the guests and show our demeanor." ”

So the three of them came to the door and met today's guests.

Editor-in-chief Hou is a star, he has been famous for a long time, and often publishes articles in TV and newspapers, pinpointing current affairs. Lots of acquaintances. And he was followed by a young man, whose age seemed to be not much different from Zhang Cundao, and this should be the CEO of the competing company.

Mr. Zhu and Editor-in-Chief Hou greeted each other, and then introduced the people they brought. Then everyone sat down to eat, and they didn't mention anything else, just chatting about family life and talking about Fengyue.

The three young people present did not say a word, they just ate with their heads bored, and only said a few words when they asked about themselves.

Wait for the wine to pass three rounds, and the dishes to pass the five flavors. The dinner table is finally over. Lao Zhu smiled and said: "Lao Hou and I went to the smoking room to smoke, and you young people talked by yourself for a while, you are all young people, you should be able to talk together." ”

What he meant by this was that you negotiate your own affairs, and the parents behind both sides will take care of each other. After that, they walked to the smoking room next door.

As for Zhang Cundao, they entered the tea room, Zhu Xuanxuan made tea, and the two men chatted.

Zhu Xuanxuan has specialized in tea art, and she fiddled for a while, after both sides drank the first cup of tea. The young boss on the other side said: "Mr. Zhang's fog chat is very good, it is both innovative and interesting, unlike us, who are still struggling." I just don't know if Zhang is willing to share with us? We are willing to act as an agent for the business of Fog Chat in Quang Nam. ”

That's the strategy of young people. He discussed with the financier behind him that the head-on competition with Zhang Cundao's company was a lose-lose situation. Zhang Cundao is not a pure newcomer, his company has Zijin Mining, a big financier, and Zijin Mining can leverage huge funds if it really wants to fight.

Although their company has the support of Guangnan Media, they are not afraid of running out of money. But if things go ahead, it is very likely that Zijin Mining and Guangnan Media will compete in the back, which is not good for both sides.

Since it's not easy to fight, let's make peace. Zhang Cundao's company doesn't look at the current boom, but promotion is still a big problem. If they inherit their business and rely on Guangnan Media, they will definitely be able to lay a foundation in the south. At that time, it is not impossible to annex the parent company with a subsidiary.

Now the plan is to unite the two, integrate their strength, consolidate their territory, and then march towards the northern market. Let the Yankees see the financial resources of the Yankees!

In this regard, Mr. Zhu and they all have similar ideas, they are all business predators, and no one can fool anyone.

However, Zhang Cundao did not answer the young man's words, but said: "I wonder if you have any ideas to enter the game industry?" ”

"Games?" The young man was stunned for a moment, and then said: "We do have this idea, but our energy is ......" Before he finished speaking, Zhang Cundao interrupted him, and then said: "My fog chat can't be operated for you, and it can't be divided into regions." First of all, you don't have the strength, and secondly, you don't understand our plans. To put it mildly, you're pulling us back by joining our team. ”

Hearing Zhang Cundao's unkind words, although this young man was quite old, he was a little out of breath at this time, he sneered, and just wanted to sneer at each other, but Zhang Cundao stopped talking.

At this time, Zhang Cundao naturally revealed a temperament that was different from ordinary people, his temperament was noble and quiet, confident and introverted, keen and sincere. There is a faint sense of control over the situation.

He said lightly: "I also know about your company. Your company has been losing money now, and there are a lot of advertisements, but the results are not necessarily very good, because backed by Guangnan Media, you have certain discounts in advertising, otherwise the advertising fee alone can crush you. ”

"But this is not a big problem, your core problem is operating costs! Your computer room is leased to the Guangnan Telecommunications Bureau, and the monthly maintenance and operating costs are hundreds of thousands, and we have calculated that for every time you add an effective user, your operating costs will increase by five cents every month, and if you add another million users, your direct expenditure cost will exceed one million per month. ”

"If you're going to run with us, you're going to have to share the profits with us, and that's another expense for you. To be honest, I don't think you can stand it. ”

Zhang Cundao is telling the truth, the biggest thing in business operation is the cost problem. With their costs so high, the pressure to compete will be very high.

And Zhang Cundao said: "And we are different, our computer room is our own, we have the ability and strength to maintain the world's best computer room, just this piece, our cost is less than one-tenth of yours, and we add an effective user, the cost only increases by less than two cents." This is a cost advantage that comes with our technological advantages. You don't have the technology we have! ”

These are nonsense, Zhang Cundao basically does not spend money to maintain the computer room......

When the young man on the other side heard this, his face was already gloomy, because these were all truths. The strong do not unite with the weak, because this union does not have the ability to add to each other, but will drag the strong back. If his company didn't have a point worthy of Zhang Cundao's attention, how could Zhang Cundao join forces with them......

Zhang Cundao looked at him, smiled slightly, and said, "However, if you go to the game together, we will have a chance to cooperate." ”

"Games?" The young man was stunned, why did he turn to this topic again.

"Yes, it's the game! Our company originally planned to develop a 2D graphics game, but as you know, the company was short of manpower and energy for start-ups, and this plan existed, but it was difficult to implement. And your company, don't fight with us with your chat software, this has no future. Why don't you guys go all out to make the game, and we'll work together on that. You are backed by Guangnan Media, and you have a natural advantage in the promotion and distribution of the game. ”

After saying this, he said to the young man, "Moreover, we have plans to enter the graphics card in the future." When the time comes, you sell games, and I sell graphics cards, wouldn't it be beautiful! ”

The young man's eyes popped up when he heard this, and he muttered, "Graphics card? It's not software, it's hardware......"

Zhang Cundao nodded and said, "Therefore, the pattern must be opened up and the horizon must be enlarged." Now graphics cards are just getting started, and I have no problem getting in, but we need a bigger fund. ”

He said lightly: "If you cooperate with us, you will occupy a city in the future market." ”

Zhang Cundao's words made the young man lose his mind slightly, he lowered his head and thought for a long time, and suddenly said: "You won't lie to me, do you, do you really want to get a graphics card?" ”

Zhang Cundao smiled slightly and said, "I never lie to people. ”

His words are confident and persuasive, with absolute confidence in the future in his eyes and absolute confidence in himself on his face. At this moment, he seemed to be shining on his body, and Zhu Xuanxuan, who could see the side, looked fascinated and excited.

Not to mention a woman like Zhu Xuanxuan, even young people who are used to seeing big shots are dazzled by Zhang Cundao's demeanor at this time. This kind of self-confidence is often found in those big people.

The young man lowered his head and thought for a moment and said, "I've been working on communication software, and I've never thought about ...... game."

"Now that you can think about it, the communication software will have me. There are too many communication software, but they are not compatible. There are many games, but there are no incompatibilities. You do it boldly, and I can hand over our company's word play to you to adapt and provide some technical support. And when your game is made, we can provide a computer room to ensure the operation of the game, so that you have no worries. ”

This time, the young man was completely convinced, and he nodded and said, "I'll think about it." ”

Zhang Cundao also nodded, and then said, "Drink tea, this tea is very good." ”

The tea is gone, the cigarette is finished. Both sides politely said goodbye. On the car back, Mr. Zhu listened to Zhang Cundao's words quietly, he was very satisfied with Zhang Cundao's words, and then said with some surprise: "Are you really planning to enter the graphics card industry?" Or fool that kid? ”

Zhang Cundao smiled and said, "Why should I lie to him? I think that's the best way to distribute it. He doesn't have the ability, he can only play games, and he can just provide me with cash in the future. And I have the ability, so naturally I have to take on greater responsibility and do better things. ”

Listening to his words, Mr. Zhu had to be impressed by his self-confidence. This is a young man! Back in his twenties, he was still a young man who was a hanger, and every day he was either messing with flowers or racing for money. In the end, his own father sent him to the exploration team for several years......

And Zhu Xuanxuan also looked at Zhang Cundao with a fascinated expression, and the smile on her face never disappeared. If it weren't for Lao Zhu being at the scene, she couldn't help but pounce. Such an excellent and confident man is her life's pursuit!

Bidding farewell to the father and daughter of the Zhu family, Zhang Cundao slowly walked back to his home. He walked slowly, thinking about the problem. At this time, he no longer thinks about commercial issues, but about spiritual issues.

After thinking about it for a long time, he finally made up his mind. What kind of Dao soldier is he going to choose!
