"Ladies and gentlemen, the champion of this poker competition is..."

Zhao Hongfei stepped on a plastic stool and stood in the middle of the warehouse, imitating the appearance of a TV show host, holding his right hand high, deliberately pausing for a moment, and loudly announced: "Mr. Du!"

A burst of warm cheers and applause sounded in the warehouse. Du Qiu cooperated with the atmosphere and showed the style of celebrities walking on the red carpet. He walked to the middle of the crowd and received a transparent crystal trophy from Zhao Hongfei, held it in his hand, raised it over his head, and showed it to the surroundings.

"Mr. Du, don't move, let me take a few photos as a souvenir."

"It's so desperate. It's fine to play well in programming, but I didn't expect that even playing poker would crush us."

"There is no choice. Mr. Du can count cards and record cards. He plays cautiously and can only admit defeat."

Amidst the playfulness and noise, Hou Chengzong, who came to watch the fun, stood at the door and said to Chen Zhiyang: "Zhiyang, Xiao Du's company is so prosperous that it makes people in the research institute feel fluctuating. Everyone wants to come over to work. It is best to move away as soon as possible, otherwise the good teaching base will become a vegetable market."

Chen Zhiyang felt nervous and hurriedly turned his head and looked carefully. He found that Hou Chengzong looked relaxed and had no anger. He then breathed a sigh of relief and agreed with a smile: "Xiao Du said it several times. As long as Yuncheng opens the Internet, he will move away immediately."

"The Internet is indeed a good thing. I never took it seriously before. Since Du taught me how to use it, my horizons have broadened a lot." Hou Chengzong nodded slightly and asked, "When will Yuncheng be opened?"

"It was originally going to be until October, but now the province and the city attach great importance to it, and have increased their investment and will be opened in about August."

"Officials are like donkeys. If they don't hang a few carrots in front of them, they won't be willing to move." Hou Chengzong saw Du Qiu holding a huge champagne bottle and pouring wine for employees one by one, shook his head and smiled: "Little Du must be the reincarnation of Sun Wuzi, with 72 faces. He is serious when doing things, casually when having fun, and is very calm and can convince people. He is obedient to these young people... I heard that his article was published in "Outlook"?"

"Yes, last week Outlook published an article he wrote about how the Internet promotes the development of the real economy, which is very inspiring and guiding."

"If you can be published by Outlook, you should have insights." Hou Chengzong felt a little regretful and said, "Xiao Du has a high IQ and good understanding. He will learn whatever he sees and learns. A while ago, I chatted with him and found that his math foundation is very solid, no worse than the level of the students in the institute. If he had not had that terrible thing when he was a child, he would definitely be able to study for a junior class. By age, he should be almost the same as that of a doctorate now."

"His achievements are better than many doctors now, at least better than my Dayou."

"What a pity, it could have been better."

At this time, Jiang Danfeng walked over with a stack of paper cups and asked, "Old Hou, do you drink some too?"

"Girl, don't be stingy. I'm here just to drink. Let you Mr. Du pour a little more."

Jiang Danfeng often went to visit Hou Chengzong as a contact person. He was already familiar with him. He smiled and divided a paper cup with a smile, and said, "Old Hou, I heard that you played chess with a computer, and you lost the helmet and abandoned your armor?"

"I'm just talking nonsense, why are you throwing away your armor? I'm not in good shape these days and I've just lost a few games."

As May approaches graduation season, Chen Zhiyang is busy with affairs and hasn't come to the institute for a while. Hearing this, he asked, "Have Xiao Du finished writing the chess program?"

Jiang Danfeng smiled with his lips, raised his hand and pointed to the interns lined up with a cup, explaining: "Mr. Du asked them to write, and wrote more than a dozen of them, and then let those programs fight each other and handed over the one that won to Mr. Hou."

"Xiao Du is doing evil deeds. The best ones are selected from the dozens, of course they are amazing." Hou Chengzong's old face was a little uneasy, and he waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Winning is a common thing for military affairs. I will be able to defeat the computer after I study it for a few more days."

"Mr. Du said that the program is dead, and it is boring to get it off. In the future, when the Internet speed is fast, you can play remotely with friends on the computer through the Internet, and you can also play poker together."

"That's good."

Du Chunhua was a little tired, so he found a free computer desk, held Lin Jinyan's hand, and asked him to stand on the table. When Du Qiu poured wine, every employee could not hide his admiration and respect. He obviously had become the legitimate leader in the company. He was both relieved and happy. He rubbed his son's little head and said, "Jinyan, when you grow up, you must be like your uncle, do you know?"

"knew."

14 girls came to Notepad, all of whom are unmarried girls in their 20s. Although their figures and appearances are different, they are invincible, enthusiastic and lively, and each has their own charm. When Du Qiu poured them champagne, he accidentally enjoyed the wonderful taste of soft jade surrounded by soft jade and a warm fragrance.

After pouring wine for everyone, Du Qiu walked to a server with a small note of "Witness History and Creating the Future" posted by a small note, picked up the keyboard, pressed the Enter key under the gaze of all employees, then raised the paper cup and said loudly: "This glass of champagne is not only a celebration of the complete success of today's friendship, but also a celebration of the official launch of Snapdragon Company's official forum. Cheers!"

"cheers!"

"Long live Snapdragon!"

On Saturday, May 27, 1995, at 4:51 pm, Snapdragon Software Company opened a forum called Dragon Sky, which was created by several interns in a week. It was second only to the Dawn BBS built by the National Intelligent Computer Center in May 1994. It became the second forum in the history of Chinese Internet, more than two months earlier than Shuimu Tsinghua, the third-ranked Shuimu Tsinghua University.

The symbolic significance of this forum is greater than its actual effect, because the Internet users are very few at this time, such as Dawn BBS, which has appeared for more than a year, and at most, there are only dozens of people online, which is very deserted. Moreover, the Quantum Physics Research uses a scientific research network and a university uses an education network. If students want to visit this forum, the information they send must be transmitted to the United States first and then back, which is both slow and unstable.

However, it is better to have it than not. In June, many employees have to go back to school to prepare for thesis defense and graduation procedures, ranging from five to six days to more than ten days. There is a forum that allows them to keep in touch with the company and keep abreast of internal developments in a timely manner.

After the friendship ended, Bai Yuquan found an excuse not to participate in the group dinner tonight. He hurried back to the municipal party committee compound and reported to Zhong Gaoshan what he had heard today.

"Microsoft's senior vice president has arrived in Yuncheng?"

"Yes, it is said that he is a very powerful vice president within Microsoft."

"This Du Qiu! Why didn't you notify the city in advance? Are you going to pick up the plane?"

"Mr. Du and his employees were in the institute today and didn't go anywhere. I heard from Secretary Jiang that he would let Manager Gao be responsible for the reception first and then negotiate again next Monday."

In 1995, China's foreign exchange reserves were only about US$110 billion, while a Microsoft company's market value exceeded US$50 billion, which was rich enough to rival a country. When Bill Gates came to China in 1994, the national leaders met with them in person. In other words, a senior vice president with real power, even if he is not as good as the provincial and ministerial level, he is at least a vice-provincial level.

Zhong Gaoshan was used to deducing social status according to official rules. He was a little surprised by Du Qiu's negligence. He leaned on the sofa and was silent for a moment and asked: "What does Du Qiu mean? Do you want to sell the company to Microsoft, or do you want Microsoft to invest in it?"

If Du Qiu sold the company, the city would not be able to make any benefits, because Microsoft would definitely move Snapdragon to Beijing. If it was investing, the city would make a big profit and freed up an investment project that attracted national attention. Microsoft is the top 10 super giant in the world's top 500, and is engaged in a highly sought-after high-tech industry. Even if it is a few million investment, it will be enough to become a highlight of political achievements. Zhong Gaoshan cannot help but be nervous.

"Mr. Du did not make any statement. I am just a commissioned employee, not a formal worker, and I cannot find out specific information."

"What is he doing tonight?"

"Go to have a dinner with colleagues."
