Chapter 95: A Magical Day

Chen Zhiyang's office location has not changed. He is still in the small building with green plants and looks inconspicuous. However, the interior decoration has been changed a lot. The simple beige fabric sand that used to be replaced with high-end burgundy leather sand, and there is a single-door small refrigerator next to it. The wall has also changed from the old fixed frequency air conditioner to the imported variable frequency air conditioner. The outdoor heat wave is impatient and the indoor breeze is whispering, which is very enjoyable.

When Du Qiu and Yang Fan entered, Zhong Gaoshan was wearing reading glasses and sitting on the sand to read the speeches of the press conference. He really listened to Du Qiu's suggestion and wore a navy blue polo shirt with horizontal lines. Although he was a little old-fashioned, he had personality and affinity than other officials who only wore white shirts.

"Xiao Du, Xiao Yang, you are here just in time. I heard that Snapdragon is preparing to acquire Kingsoft? How are you talking about it?"

The Snapdragon management system is not perfect. In addition to the technical confidentiality, other places are similar to sieves. Yang Fan frowned and said vaguely: "It's just that the acquisition intention has been initially reached, and the specific terms will be discussed later."

"Okay!" Zhong Gaoshan slapped the handrail, stood up from the sand, and praised: "You young people are more motivated and have negotiated such a big business in just half a day. If we, the old men, would not be able to negotiate for a week, and we would just have to eat, drink and socialize."

"The younger waves of the Yangtze River push forward the older waves. Nowadays, young people are more capable than we did back then." Hu Yuanfei, who came to Yuncheng from other places to serve as mayor in February this year, was also quite happy. He echoed and praised a few words, and then stated: "Kinsoft is one of the most well-known software companies in China. If you can settle in Yuncheng, it will be a major benefit to the software park project. How much funds are needed for the acquisition? If you have difficulties, the city will come forward to help you find a bank loan."

Du Qiu still had some otakus thinking and didn't like to find bank loans, but Yang Fan was very financially conscious and said, "The amount has not been determined yet, it will cost about 20,000 yuan. If the city can help support some of it, it would be better."

"It's only 2ooo million?" A secretary who was sitting at Chen Zhiyang's desk revising a speech was very surprised and looked up and questioned: "I read the report that Kingsoft sold 30,000 sets of ps software last year, with a price of 22oo, and a sales of up to 66oo million yuan. Can you buy them with 2ooo million?"

Zhong Gaoshan took off his reading glasses, pointed at Du Qiu with his glasses with great authority, and asked, "Xiao Du, what's going on?"

"The 660,000 in the report is the sales obtained by the bundling of PS software and Founder Han Card. Among them, Founder Han Card accounts for the majority, and PS's revenue is not much." Du Qiu did a lot of homework in order to successfully acquire Kingsoft and explained: "Han Card is a product that was eliminated by the times. Giant Group no longer does it. Lenovo also stopped the production line last year and cleared all the inventory. Only Fang Zheng's family is still working, and there are no competitors. The sales in the first half of this year were only one-sixth of last year, and the decline is very obvious."

"I see."

"Will you take over now, Isn't it a big loss?" The secretary glanced at Hu Yuanfei, who was sitting opposite the desk, and said, "I know Han card and PS are different, but if there were no Han card, who would buy the genuine PPS? Use the floppy disk to find a printing store to copy it."

"Software and hardware are different. After the research is completed, the sales cost is very low. If it is not sold with Hanka, the price of PS can be reduced to 2oo yuan or even below 1oo yuan, but the profit can remain unchanged. Now the country is vigorously supporting the national software industry and vigorously promoting office informatization and automation. I think government departments and state-owned enterprises should not use pirated copies in order to save about 100 yuan, right?"

"Xiao Du, Xiao Du, you are catching our government to make money!" Zhong Gaoshan smiled, and then said, "Mayor Hu was right just now. The acquisition of Jinshan is a major benefit of the Yuncheng Software Park project. Good things are in pairs. Should we announce it at the press conference later?"

"Secretary Zhong, I think this matter is not good to be announced to the public for the time being." Yang Fan put on a professional attitude and persuaded: "First, we and Kingsoft have not signed a formal contract, and there are certain variables; secondly, today's press conference has arranged a lot of content. If it is added, the media may ignore some important information in order to save the page when reporting. Thirdly, people are easily forgotten, and the Software Park is a long-term project. It is better to release a major benefit every once in a while than to release all the benefits at once."

"It's worthy of being a top talent from McKinsey. If you have insight, then listen to you." Zhong Gaoshan sat down on the sand again, patted the empty seat next to him, and said with a smile: "Xiao Yang, come and sit here, help me review the speech and see what areas to change."

Hu Yuanfei signaled his secretary to move a chair and put it next to his desk. He said to Du Qiu: "Xiao Du, come and help me read the manuscript, especially the technical content. Don't make mistakes or make jokes."

The afternoon press conference had two main contents, one was the software park and the other was the official website of Yuncheng City, which was hosted by the top and second-in-command of Yuncheng City. The people who cooperated with Snapdragon were the opposite. Du Qiu assisted the second-in-command and Yang Fan assisted the top-in. The reason for this is that the two parties have different awareness of these two projects.

After several months of tossing, the official website of Yuncheng has changed a lot. It is no longer the static pages designed at the time. Instead, under the guidance of Du Qiu, it has been transformed into a comprehensive website that provides local economy, culture, entertainment, food and other information as well as related bbs discussion areas. The name is also officially designated as "Yuncheng Hotline", rather than the previously vague official website of Yuncheng.

Yuncheng Hotline was not Du Qiu's pioneering work. He just took out the concept of urban information port represented by Pujiang Hotline in the late 1990s. This kind of website has fewer audiences and is not competitive with large portals for netizens across the country. However, because it is down-to-earth and local characteristics, it is very popular among local governments. After 20 years, it goes up to municipalities directly under the central government and poor counties. Every place has similar words called hotlines.

Although government officials do not understand technology, they understand politics very well. The concept of "urban information port" is easy to understand and is in line with the strategy of establishing a country in science and education. Therefore, it was very popular after it was proposed. Even though Chen Dayou made a big statement, he changed the website construction budget from 10,000 to 10,000 yuan, and added a series of other expenses such as technical training and operation and custody, it still could not stop the enthusiasm of the Yuncheng City Government and approved the funds very happily.

This kind of comprehensive website is much more complex than a static web page with a few leader resumes. It is trapped in the hardware performance and network environment in 1995. Yuncheng Hotline is very simple to produce, but it has already had the prototype of a future portal website. Therefore, in Du Qiu's view, it is far more important than the software park and has more historical significance.

However, in the eyes of bureaucrats such as Zhong Gaoshan, the Information Port is just a gimmick for publicity, and the software park is a real hot commodity. It can not only achieve political achievements in promoting local economic development, but also have the reputation of vigorously promoting high-tech industries. It also involves interests in infrastructure, real estate, investment promotion and other aspects. It can be used to take advantage of it. Therefore, he monopolized the power and airborne it. Hu Yuanfei, who has no foundation in Yuncheng, kicked it away and took charge of the project himself.

In fact, the speeches about the press conference have been held for several meetings, and there is not much to be revised. The meeting is just a brief cram and a formality, and it ended soon. After Chen Zhiyang called to inform him that everything was ready, he drove to the multi-functional academic lecture hall of Sanjiang University.

The official car used by Yuncheng City Government is Toyota Crown purchased in the late 1980s. The car is in a bad condition. Zhong Gaoshan did not take his own car, but got on Yang Fan's Lexus with Du Qiu. On the way, he asked: "Xiao Yang, your car is really good, it's very comfortable to sit in, and the equipment is quite high-end. Which one is more expensive than Xiao Du's car?"

"Of course, Mr. Du is expensive. My car is only $36,000 in the United States, and Mr. Du's one is $95,000, which is not the same level."

Zhong Gaoshan was surprised and asked, "The interior of Xiao Du's car is not as good as yours, and the space is not as spacious as yours. Why is it so much more expensive?"

"My car pursues high performance, Mr. Yang's car pursues comfort, with different focus and each has its own strengths..."

From Chen Zhiyang's office to the academic lecture hall, you have to pass through the electronic teaching building of Sanjiang University. When Du Qiu popularized the knowledge of performance cars and luxury cars to Zhong Gaoshan, Du Chunhua met the person he was destined to meet in a classroom in the electronic teaching building.
