Chapter 122 Looting
After talking to Bai Yuquan, Du Qiu realized that the influence of this Internet conference exceeded expectations. He originally wanted to gain some academic reputation for himself and recruit some senior talents for the company, but unexpectedly attracted a group of thirsty bureaucrats because he underestimated the fanaticism of local governments in the 1990s for the high-tech industry.
On the flight from Pujiang to Yuncheng yesterday morning, in addition to Jennifer and Xu Yongrui, there were also the full-time secretary of the mayor of Pujiang City and the deputy director of the Management Committee of the Pujiang High-tech Industrial Development Zone. However, Du Qiu was very busy yesterday and had already been full of schedule. He did not find a suitable opportunity to contact him, so he kept a low profile and inspected everywhere in a manner of a private visit.
"Director Ding of Pujiang High-tech Zone came to Snapdragon as an ordinary netizen yesterday afternoon and was recognized by Section Chief Fei of the Municipal Investment Promotion Office. Secretary Zhong made several calls to Pujiang to protest, but was perfunctory by the other party. Secretary Zhong was so angry that he broke his landline and mobile phone. Then he sent someone to guard the hotel door so that he did not have the chance to contact you."
The secretary of the municipal party committee was like a gangster, Du Qiu laughed at him, feeling ridiculous, and said, "Is it appropriate for local governments to undermine each other like this?"
"Now everything is centered on economic development. As long as the local economy can be improved, local governments dare to use any means. Pujiang is still abide by the rules, so he only sent his secretary and deputy director to contact him privately. If he does not follow the rules, it is possible to directly send the deputy mayor to come and poach people. Pujiang is a municipality directly under the central government, and the level of the deputy mayor is higher than that of Secretary Zhong, so he can't even block the door."
Du Qiu was a little puzzled and said, "I was in Pujiang 10 days ago. They had the opportunity to contact me. They didn't pay much attention to me at that time and had no intention of recruiting me. Why are you suddenly enthusiastic now?"
"Yesterday's Science and Technology Daily and Guangming Daily both reported Mr. Du's speech at the opening ceremony of the Internet Conference in a large amount of space. According to the feedback collected by Mr. Liu, the speech caused a great response among the senior intellectuals. Mayor Xu of Pujiang City is a scholar who is in politics. In addition to his official position, he is also a doctoral supervisor at Pujiang University. He was also selected for this year's list of academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering. It should be that the report attracted his attention."
"I see."
"In addition, there are also actions in the capital. After President Hu took a plane back to Beijing at noon yesterday, there was news in the evening that the State Science and Technology Commission and the Zhongguancun Management Committee will come to Snapdragon for inspection in the near future. The level is very high, and it is very likely that Director Song will lead the team himself." Bai Yuquan was afraid that Du Qiu would not understand the rules of the officialdom and explained: "Director Song is the State Councilor and the Director of the State Science and Technology Commission, and his administrative treatment is equivalent to that of the Vice Premier. Zhongguancun is the son of the State Science and Technology Commission's key support, so Secretary Zhong is a little suspicious."
The National Science and Technology Commission was later the Ministry of Science and Technology of China. The preferential policies and support grants such as "Key Torch Plan Projects, Key High-tech Enterprises National Torch Plan Software Industry Base" that Snapdragon is currently applying for, all require the approval of the National Science and Technology Commission. It is normal for them to come to inspect, but it is indeed a bit wrong to bring the Zhongguancun Management Committee.
Although Du Qiu did not have the idea of moving Snapdragon away, he has now evolved into a qualified capitalist. This situation that is beneficial to him is too wasteful if he doesn't use it for a moment. He asked: "Is this news reliable?"
"It was Mr. Zhang from Yinghaiwei who told Sister Sun that Sister Sun had confirmed through her personal relationships and said she was almost inseparable. However, it was the weekend and the specific inspection personnel and inspection time had not been determined yet. Mr. Liu said he would follow up."
Du Qiu said oh, and asked again: "Secretary Zhong's phone call just now seemed to be not only worried about Pujiang and Beijing, but also other cities sent people?"
"Jinling sent a special person to our company yesterday afternoon and copied a draft plan for the software park. Later, reporters from Jiangcheng and Chuncheng came to copy them by the government and were entrusted by the government. All three cities have national-level high-tech industrial development zones, especially Chuncheng, which is very close to Mr. Du's hometown, and is only a few hours' drive away."
No wonder I felt weird when I read the newspaper just now...
Last night's song "Jasmine Blossoms" clearly sings homesickness, but today's "Yuncheng Morning Post" does not mention homesickness in a word, but only talks about patriotism...
Just as Du Qiu was secretly sighing, Bai Yuquan continued to report: "In addition, Wang Peng, the boss of Xunye Jin.com, called Mr. Liu last night and said that he would take the earliest flight today to Yuncheng and arrive at around 11:20."
"Did he have a purpose for it?"
"It is said that I want to cooperate with Snapdragon to set up a branch in Yuncheng to vigorously promote dial-up Internet access services."
In May 1995, China's telecommunications policy relaxed and began to allow social funds to engage in telecom value-added services. At that time, a total of 5 companies obtained the license of ISP, that is, Internet service providers, 4 of which are in Beijing and 1 in Pengcheng, which is Xunyejin.com. When Du Qiu was treating guests at the Beijing Hotel in early June, Wan Pingguo, the boss of China.com, revealed that Xunyejin.com has more than 400 million yuan in funds and is the richest Internet company in China.
Wang Peng, the boss of Xunye Jin.com, is very mysterious. It is said that he has a military background and is very prosperous in both the political and business circles of Pengcheng. When preparing for the Internet Conference, Liu Yunlai sent him an invitation letter, but he did not receive a response. Now that the conference is almost over, he has rushed over. I am afraid that the purpose is not just to establish a branch.
"Have Mr. Liu found out what Wang Peng is from?"
"General Liu said that this person had served in the General Logistics Department before, and all his funds came from loans from Pengcheng Agricultural Bank, and he might be an agent sent by the military to do business."
In 1985, in order to alleviate the dilemma of military expenditure, the country relaxed the military's business operations, which had a very bad impact on military personnel and social economy. Therefore, starting from 1991, the country began to gradually strengthen the management and restrictions on military business operations. By 1995, although it was not completely banned, it was no longer possible to blatantly wear military uniforms to make money everywhere. Using retired soldiers as agents is a relatively popular practice.
No wonder Xunyejin.com has only existed for three years in the history of China's Internet. It disappeared silently almost overnight in 1998. Many senior netizens have never heard of this company...
On the one hand, it was indeed unfavorable to operate and suffered serious losses. On the other hand, it was obviously because a magician did a tiny job that year and completely banned the army from doing business...
"If you arrive in Yuncheng at 11:20, our product launch conference should not be over yet. You can work hard and go to the airport to receive it."
"Okay, no problem."
"Is there any other news?"
"There are many rumors, all of which are nonsense. For example, there are rumors that Komatsu Aiko and Jennifer are spies from Japan and the United States, who come to Yuncheng to engage in beauty schemes and want to seduce you, Mr. Du, to go abroad."
"Jennifer is young and beautiful, and she is not bad at having a beauty trick. Komatsu Aiko is in her thirties, so don't you think she's too young?"
"This..." Bai Yuquan coughed twice, and explained with a smile: "Some people say that Mr. Du lacked maternal love since he was a child, so he liked more mature women."
Jiang Danfeng heard it next to him, his beautiful eyes circling and he laughed loudly. Du Qiu glared at her and asked with a serious look on his face: "Does anyone say that Jiang Danfeng is also a spy?"
"That's not, but some people praise her for sacrificing her for her country..."
Jiang Danfeng reacted very quickly, and he heard that he was making fun of it. He immediately grabbed the microphone with quick eyes and hand. While pushing Du Qiu, he said with a smile: "Brother Quan, Mr. Du suddenly had a stomachache. I want to feed him medicine. I'll hang up first, and I'll chat when I'll arrive at the company later."
At this time, Du Chunhua happened to come out of the bedroom with sleepy Lin Jinyan in her arms. She had never seen Jiang Danfeng dare to snatch the phone while Du Qiu was talking about business and asked, "What are you two doing?"
"It's nothing, just joke with your colleagues." Du Qiu stepped forward and slapped himself when he was a child and said, "Sister, there may be someone in the city talking to you today. For the sake of Jinyan's future, please say more vague words."
"The city talks to me? What trouble did you get?"
"It's not a trouble, it's a good thing." Du Qiu introduced the current situation and said: "If you can take down the botanical garden, Jin Yan will live in a house with a swimming pool, a playground and a larger garden in the future."
"You are really not a man's heart and swallow an elephant. The land is more than 600 acres. If it is built into a house, I'm afraid I won't find my way home." Du Chunhua thought carefully and said, "Since that's the case, then call Wang Chang'an and I'll send our dad and Jinyan to his place to hide later, so as not to be harassed at home."
Jiang Danfeng, who was holding a thermos cup to go to the kitchen to pack ice cubes, heard this and said, "I'll send Uncle Du and Jinyan over there, and go home to get some things."
"Aren't you busy today?"
"This morning, there was only one activity for the company's product launch conference. My task was very easy. It was to be a broadcaster and just go to Guangming Cinema before 9 o'clock." Jiang Danfeng looked at the clock on the wall and said, "It's not yet 7:50, and it's time."
Guangming Cinema is the largest cinema in Yuncheng. It adopts an old-fashioned single-hall layout, divided into two floors, with nearly 1,000 seats. Du Chunhua was surprised and asked, "Why are you holding a product launch conference there?"
"There are more than 700 people attending the press conference. The academic lecture hall of Sanjiang University cannot sit at the seat. The Provincial People's Congress Conference Center does not have multimedia equipment, so I took the PPT into film and used the cinema projector to play it." After Du Qiu explained, he picked up his backpack and prepared to go out. Before leaving, he said to Jiang Danfeng: "You must arrive before 9 o'clock."
"I know, I won't be late."
After Du Qiu left, Du Chunhua used a joke to speak out for Jiang Danfeng and said, "I'm really a elm-headed person. I know how to work and don't understand the charm at all. Last night, I teased your beautiful woman who has been raising for more than 20 years in public, and I don't know how to apologize to other people's parents."
"Sister Chunhua, if Du Qiu knew everything, how dare I fall in love with him? He was so inferior." Jiang Danfeng didn't care and said with a smile: "I teased him first last night. If you want to apologize, I should apologize to Sister Chunhua."
"Xiaoqiu doesn't understand domestic social etiquette. Xiao Jiang, please take more responsibility." Du Cunzhi, who was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper, took off his reading glasses and said, "After you finish the Internet conference, let him buy some gifts to accompany you home."
"Oh, Uncle Du, we have just started dating, so we don't have to be so formal, so it's embarrassing to see it." Jiang Danfeng changed the topic, used the thermos as a microphone, and interviewed Lin Jinyan with makeup, and asked, "Little Jinyan, do you think your uncle has any shortcomings?"
"My uncle likes to lie. He said he would go home before I go to bed every day, but I fell asleep last night and he hadn't come home yet!"
