Chapter 59 Procedures and Negotiations

The huge poster on the side of the cafeteria was only hung for a long time. Before lunch time was over, it was forced to be demolished by the conservative school leader. Du Chunhua rented a van with a mentality of not doing anything, took it off and sent it to Sanjiang University immediately. With the help of Chen Dayou, it hung it at the door of the main teaching building. This tossing made the already sensational effect even more sensational.

On the morning of March 1, Du Qiu imitated the classic case when Microsoft promoted Windows 95, and bought 5,000 copies of Yuncheng Morning Post in the name of the company. It distributed it for free in various universities, which once again boosted the popularity and reputation of notepads. In just one day, he received orders for more than 100,000 notepads, and many dealers were willing to pay first and then pick up the goods, which made the company's somewhat stretched funds more abundant.

At the evening celebration banquet, Su Wenhai admired Du Qiu and toasted him with a drink, and said with emotion: "Du Qiu, you are so amazing. I have been a buyer and a salesperson in the printing factory for 3 years. The paper I bought in three years is not enough for you to consume in one day, and the notebook sold in five years is not as good as your sales volume in one day."

"Brother Hai, it's useless to compliment me. Anyway, I won't go to Jinling with you tomorrow. The market over there is all you have to run away by yourself."

"Even if you want to go, I can't take you there. You can concentrate on your design. As long as the design is done well, I can sell any notebook!" Su Wenhai signaled Du Qiu to casually, and he drank it generously and said: "I couldn't figure it out before. The notepad made by Yunda Printing Factory is of good quality and cheap price, but the sales volume is just not enough. Now I figured it out. It turned out that the design was not good, it was rustic, and put ours with theirs. One was a movie star and the other was a rural village girl. Although it touched and used the same, it looked different, and ours was more coquettish..."

Wang Huihui slapped him from behind and said angrily: "Sister Chunhua is here, why are you talking nonsense?"

Du Chunhua said with a smile: "Wen Hai's words are rough and not rough. For cultural products, design is indeed very important, and sometimes even more important than functions. Brother, you have to continue to work hard and design more products, especially fonts. We still have too few fonts now."

"Okay, from tomorrow, I'll go into seclusion and design. No one can bother me."

"As long as you don't run around and do design honestly, let alone disturbing me, I can even provide services when I wash and cook, and fold and sweep the floor."

"Wenxiu, you said this. I have everything now, but I just lack a little maid with Hongxiu Tianxiang to serve him."

Su Wenxiu is the assistant general manager of the company. After too many orders, she is busy every day without touching the ground. Not to mention helping others with laundry and cooking, she has no time to do laundry and cook by herself. Of course, she should not take what she says seriously. However, since March 2, Du Qiu has entered a very regular rhythm. She gets up at 6 o'clock in the morning to exercise, and takes Lin Jinyan to kindergarten to school at 8 o'clock, then goes back to home to write a browser on her laptop, and then picks up Lin Jinyan from school at 5 o'clock in the afternoon. After dinner, plays games and practices calligraphy. She writes a while of code between 9 o'clock and 10:30, and then takes a shower and goes to bed.

Life is very simple and fulfilling. Perhaps because of the blessing of BUFF, the body is getting healthier and healthier, the energy has been greatly improved, and the programming efficiency is much better than before traveling through time. In the past, I felt very irritable and unable to concentrate after writing for an hour or two. If I force myself to persist, I will soon feel sleepy or bored. Now I have no problem writing for a whole day. My thinking is always highly active. Sometimes I even have a perfect state of flying fingers, and I have knocked hundreds of lines of code without any errors.

In a good state, Du Qiu only took two weeks to write a beta browser. The main functions are similar to Netscape-Navigator for Netscape, but the interface has been changed a lot and adopted the design style of the famous and infamous IE6 browser. The reason I chose IE6 is because the Internet was still in its pioneering period in 1995, and many users are first exposed to the Internet. Chrome's minimalist interface will make novices at a loss. Although IE6 looks a bit messy and rustic, it is very friendly to novices. Most netizens in the world entered the Internet world through it. In 2003, they even dominated the world, occupying more than 95% of the market share, becoming synonymous with browsers.

In the software industry, if Microsoft ranks second in its understanding of ordinary users, then no one dares to say that it is first...

Saturday, March 18.

According to the previous agreement, Du Qiu brought the written browser to the Institute of Quantum Physics for just one month and demonstrated it to Chen Dayou. After seeing it, the fat man almost shrank in his face. He tested it for more than two hours in a dormitory where he could access the Internet. He found that the reading speed of the page and the stability of the operation were no worse than Netscape-Navigator, and the various humanized settings and detailed experiences were far beyond that, and he was immediately happy and worried.

The joy is that he has been dormant for six years and finally found an opportunity to achieve great success. As long as he pushes this browser to the world, he will soon become a sensational figure on the international Internet. Whether it is wealth or influence, he will far away from the classmates of the past. He can be proud and quickly beat back all the sarcasm he has suffered over the years.

What is worried is that Du Qiu is too amazing. In one month, not only did he write such awesome program, but he also created an epoch-making programming language. Such a godlike figure, let alone control, does not even have the capital to be on par with him.

"Brother Chen, how do you think of my browser?"

Chen Dayou's leadership style has completely disappeared, and the slow clapping of the past has disappeared. He raised his right thumb, compared to Du Qiu, and said a swear word with a very Beijing-style style: "****! It's awesome!"

“It’s over-reward.”

The dormitory fell into silence. After a while, Chen Dayou lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, looked up at the ceiling and said, "Du Qiu, we have known each other for several months. Although we don't meet many times, we hit it off at first sight and get along well. We should have a good understanding of each other's personalities and style of doing things. I hate red tape, so you do the same, so don't do those false things. Just say, if I invest 1 million, how many shares would you like to give me?"

Ask you if you are willing to give it, not ask me if I can get it...

I know the current affairs very well and I am a partner to cooperate with...

Sanjiang University is just an ordinary national key. The executive vice president should be a deputy department-level cadre. Although it doesn’t sound like a high-ranking official, China has always been concerned about respecting teachers and respecting the truth since ancient times. The president of the university has a great social status and influence. It spans academic, administrative and economic fields, and has close ties with people from all walks of life. Making money is easier and more convenient than ordinary bureaucrats. Therefore, Du Qiu was not surprised at all when he heard that the funds changed from 500,000 to 1 million. He also looked at him and reported a very shabby number: "10%.

"You really have a kind!"

"Last year when Clark and Anderson founded Netscape, Clark paid $4 million, while Anderson only had experience in developing browsers and didn't even have beta products, but he took 20% of the shares, equivalent to $1 million." Du Qiu cited two numbers and converted: "I have beta software, and its functions and practicality are not worse than Netscape-Navigator. I have to be worth $1 million, right? It's 8.46 million yuan, and I still have more than 500,000 yuan of funds, which is just enough to raise 9 million. After this calculation, Brother Chen can only get 10% of the shares at most."

"Netview's browser is charged, you are free, you only burn money but not make money in the early days, so money is more important than technology."

"It's true, but if I send this browser online, how much will Wall Street investment banks give? Or how much will Microsoft pay for it? I heard they are looking for people to buy browser technology everywhere."

Chen Dayou stopped talking and leaned against the back of the chair and looked up at the ceiling.

"Brother Chen, you are a person who knows the goods. You should know that my browser is a nuclear bomb-level software. If you really want to look at it, let alone RMB 1 million, you won't get 10% of the shares. The reason why I am willing to give you so much is mainly because I am with you." Du Qiu also leaned on the sofa, put on a relaxed and enjoyable expression, and said half-true and half-false: "I have been wandering overseas for more than ten years. Now I'm just back. I'm tired and don't want to mess around, and I don't want to go abroad. But I have to go to the United States to do a browser, so I need a friend who knows the truth and knows the truth as a partner. Brother Chen, you are a computer major and proficient in English. There are many classmates in the United States, which are very suitable for this partner, so I am willing to share with you the future money, career and glory!"

Chen Dayou heard the word "Glory" and Adam's apple moved clearly. He seemed to want to say something, but he held back and asked again: "The American seminar was held on March 26, and it's not a few days away. When are you planning to go to Pujiang to apply for a visa?"

"I'll go tomorrow, but not to Pujiang, but to the capital."

"Why go to the capital?"

"One is because my household registration is in Northeast China, and two is because there are many universities in Beijing. I will go there to see if I can open the Notepad market."

Chen Dayou was a little surprised when he heard this, and sat upright and asked, "Your notepad is planning to enter the capital after only half a month of selling. It seems that the sales volume is very good?"

"It's okay, mainly because the production capacity cannot keep up, otherwise more than 1 million have been sold."

Chen Dayou didn't really like the notepad business. He was shocked when he heard this amount and couldn't help but sit up straight, because it means that Du Qiu was quickly gathering funds and could leave him alone at any time. So he asked: "Since the production capacity cannot keep up, why do you still have to go to Beijing to develop?"

"Our company is only responsible for design and outsourcing all production, so we are planning to directly find a printing factory in Beijing to entrust production, which can reduce transportation costs."

"It's interesting, it's interesting." Chen Dayou put the cigarette butt into the ashtray, rubbed it slowly for a few times, and then said with a smile: "I haven't been to the capital for a long time. Why not go with you tomorrow to see your old classmates, and then hang posters for you like last time. What time will your train be?"

"The train is too slow. I took the plane and I have booked the ticket for the flight at 3:10 pm."

"Then I'll order one later. Let's talk slowly when we arrive in the capital." Chen Dayou stood up and shook hands with Du Qiu, explaining: "I have to consult my dad about investment. You also know that I can't make the decision on the money, but I can introduce some classmates and friends to you. Those guys have many real computer experts, who may not be as good as you, but they are definitely much better than me."

Just because you used to study in a prestigious school among famous schools and knew a lot of talents, I was willing to give you 10% of the shares...
