On Monday, May 29, at 4:30 pm, at Snapdragon Headquarters in the city center, all the senior management gathered for the first time to prepare to hold a workshop on future development strategy in the conference room.

Xiao Wu sat at the wide conference table, patted the thick and smooth table like beating a drum, and said with a few words: "Oh my god! I finally feel like a high-income elite white-collar worker."

Qin Mu, standing at the window smoking with Li Jianhua, looked down at the surrounding buildings, and showed a full expression of confidence, saying, "It's refreshing to look at the distance, but it's still comfortable for the old man to look. The office environment is much better than the warehouse of the institute."

Gao Mingda still looked low-key and introverted, and said humbly: "I want to change it with you. The warehouse is lively and the place is deserted. If you want to find someone to talk to, you have to call."

Xu Yongrui held the back of his head with both hands, sat on the chair unrestrainedly, and drove the back of the chair to sway up and down. He looked at the receptionist who was protruding his head outside the glass door and said, "Vice President Gao, you have a good vision. The employees he recruited are very beautiful, pink and tender, and have a unique charm compared to the northern girl."

"Color embryo!" Xiao Wu turned his head and looked, and said with a pout, "Sister Qin, do you think if this guy goes to the United States, how many lawsuits will he have every year because of *******?"

Wei Zhiqin looked at Xu Yongrui a few times and said with a smile: "It is estimated that there are many people who are *******. The California atmosphere is open, and many Americans like men. Xiao Xu's skin and tender flesh are their favorite types."

Xiao Wu laughed loudly, Xu Yongrui laughed awkwardly, stepped up from the chair with a little toe, came to Qin Mu, and asked for a cigarette, and then sniffed the clouds and blew the mist.

Snapdragon currently only has senior employees with a monthly salary of over 10,000 yuan. If sorted by time, Wei Zhiqin is the seventh and Gao Mingda is the eighth. She came back from the United States specifically. On the one hand, she reported to Du Qiu how to upgrade and plan the servers of the North American branch next, and on the other hand, she wanted to meet with those employees of the same level and contact her, because if Snapdragon develops smoothly, these people will definitely take charge. It is important to establish a good relationship before they become successful.

Gao Mingda also had the same thoughts, so after sending Brad Silverberg to Da Taoshu Village last night, he kept the Mercedes-Benz, and left with Jiang Danfeng. He did not participate in the party, not because he was an outsider, but because he wanted to invite Wei Zhiqin with Qin Mu and others. It was much more important to welcome her than to make soy sauce at the boss's family banquet.

Chinese people are best at talking about feelings at dinner tables. Wei Zhiqin is generous and not artificial, she is a classmate with Qin Mu, and Jiang Danfeng is an old acquaintance. She was in the middle of the two men's threading thread, and she integrated into the team in one night. She got along well with everyone, chatting and laughing, and she was very co-starring. Even dull people like He Lixing can chat with a few words.

After chatting for a while, several people saw Du Qiu and Chen Dayou walking in shoulder to shoulder. Jiang Danfeng and Zhou Yuan followed behind, so they stood up while sitting, returned to the conference table smoking, preparing for a meeting.

"We only have a few people, all of us are sitting casually." Du Qiu greeted casually, sat down at the host seat at the top of the conference table, and went straight to the topic: "There are many topics related to Microsoft these days. I believe everyone is very concerned. Let Mr. Chen introduce it to you first."

Chen Dayou sat in the first seat on his right hand, introduced the general framework of the cooperation plan, and then concluded: "The 4 million US dollars is certainly worthy of happiness, but the main gain is the technical support provided by Microsoft. Qin Mu, you can handle the related work of electronic technology software as soon as possible, and then select a few employees with Mr. Du to receive Microsoft training in the United States."

Microsoft was at its peak in the 1990s and can be said to be a holy place that all programmers around the world yearned for. Qin Mu was very excited and rubbed his hands and asked, "When will Mr. Du go to the United States?"

"This plan is just an intention and has not been signed, so it is still unclear." Du Qiu was a little worried and said to Zhou Yuan: "Zhou Yuan, you can spread the news of your cooperation with Microsoft as soon as possible, so that they can't go back on their word, so that they can only finalize this matter."

He emphasized his tone on the four words "to achieve cooperation". Zhou Yuan understood it and promised: "Don't worry, Mr. Du, I've been angry with Brother Liu. This news will definitely be in a heavyweight newspaper tomorrow. In this way, Du Jiabin will definitely promote cooperation after returning to the capital for his dream of president."

Brad Silverberg did not understand Chinese and had no connections in China. He hurried to come to China to find Du Qiu, and he definitely needed someone who is trustworthy as a translator and staff officer. There was only one such person, Du Jiabin, general manager of Microsoft's Beijing office. Therefore, before leaving Silicon Valley, Zhou Yuan called Liu Yunlai, an old acquaintance from Xinhua News Agency, and asked him to help inquire about the information related to it.

Du Jiabin graduated from the Jiaotong University of Taiwan. He worked for two years at the Industrial Technology Research Institute, known as the engine of the Taiwan semiconductor industry, and then worked for HP for more than ten years. He made a lot of achievements in product sales, marketing promotion and marketing planning. After Bill Gates visited China in March 1994, he wanted to establish a subsidiary of Microsoft (China), and urgently needed a senior management talent familiar with China's political and business environment, so he poached him from HP through headhunting.

The general manager of Microsoft's Beijing office and the first president of Microsoft (China), fools also know that these two titles are incomparable, so Du Jiabin is very enthusiastic about this. However, after more than a year of busy work, people have seen countless people and drink countless times, but there is no progress, because the middle and lower-level bureaucrats cannot handle the legal red line, and the senior leaders cannot get in touch with them, so they can only go around in circles and have no choice but to do anything.

After Zhou Yuan learned about Du Jiabin's predicament from Liu Yunlai, he decided to start with him, convince him first, and then influence Silverberg through him. Du Jiabin used to study electronics, but later changed his career to manage it. He had only a little understanding of the Internet and did not know the importance of browsers. He thought it was a win-win cooperation, which could not only solve the troubles of windos95, but also acted as a stepping stone to contact senior government officials. Sure enough, he took the bait and induced Silverberg to induced Silverberg to promote him to agree to cooperate with Snapdragon.

Once the cooperation agreement is published in China's official authoritative newspaper, if Microsoft regrets it, it will be a naked slap in the face, and the establishment of a wholly-owned company will definitely fail. Therefore, after Du Jiabin returns to Beijing, he will definitely do his best to promote the signing and implementation of the cooperation plan.

"Reporter Liu has helped a lot this time. Please discuss with Manager Gao and choose a suitable gift for him as a thank you."

"There is no need for gifts. Brother Liu wants to ask Mr. Du to help him advise and get a plan for new Internet media next time he goes to the capital."

"It's OK." Du Qiu agreed and said, "I will go to the capital before I go to the United States."

Xiao Wu was a little curious and said gossip: "Zhou Yuan, you Brother Liu seems to have a good background, what is your background?"

Zhou Yuan picked up the cigarette box that Qin Mu placed on the conference table and lit the cigarette while saying, "Mrs. Liu's grandfather used to work in the Propaganda Department and was a senior deputy ministerial-level official before retirement."

"It turned out to be a son-in-law party who borrowed his wife to the throne."

"It's not entirely true. Brother Liu is a capable person." Zhou Yuan maintained his friend and said, "When he got married, the old man had retired. He left the tea and had no real power. He only had some relationships and had to rely on himself for everything else. So Brother Liu has been running around in recent years, going to Hong Kong and the frontiers, just to do something and raise the level by relying on his actual performance."

Xu Yongrui has been busy developing web design software these days, and his understanding of the Internet is deeper than others. He raised his hand and asked: "Mr. Du, will this new browser belong to Microsoft in a year? Will it become a powerful enemy of IVie? Microsoft is rich and not an ordinary company."

"If the Internet is compared to water, the browser is a container for water." Du Qiu picked up the pure water placed on the conference table in advance by the front desk lady and compared it: "Now the Internet is equivalent to a bottle of water. I handed it to Microsoft a 500ml bottle, which can barely be able to hold it. By next year, the Internet has become a pond. This bottle is inherently deficient. No matter how much it is modified, it cannot hold the water in the entire pond, so it is not worth worrying."

Xu Yongrui suddenly realized and said with a smile: "No wonder Mr. Chen added a penalty for breach of contract to the agreement. Why don't we bet and see if Microsoft will terminate the cooperation a few months in advance."

Xiao Wu seemed to be very upset when he saw him, and immediately said tit-for-tat: "I bet with you that Microsoft will terminate the contract three months in advance."

Wei Zhiqin also followed the trend and said: "Microsoft will not be so slow. I bet that I will 6 months in advance, so that I will buy a server with another $3 million."

According to the cooperation plan, the cooperation between Microsoft and Snapdragon started on August 24, 1995 and ended on August 24, 1996. Chen Dayou added a penalty clause to it. If Microsoft terminates the cooperation early and forces the ownership of the browser, it will be compensated monthly for Snapdragon, and every month in advance, it will be charged 500,000 US dollars.

Li Jianhua's sense of business is relatively slow and asked: "Why are you doing this so troublesome? Just open a high price and sell your browser to Microsoft."

"There was a popular saying in the domestic manufacturing industry a few years ago. You should have heard it. It is better to buy than to make, and it is better to rent than to buy." Du Qiu unscrewed the bottle cap and drank it, explaining: "With the browser we provide, Microsoft will not do its best to develop its own browser. It just wants to wait for the cooperation to end and get the source code before improving it. Time waits for no one. The technology in a year is a world of difference from the current technology."

He pointed to Xu Yongrui and said, "Manager Xu should have a deep understanding that the html language is very chaotic now and there is no unified standard. Netscape's browser and our ivie browser are often incompatible, and it is very troublesome when designing web pages."

Xu Yongrui nodded in agreement.

"We cooperated with Microsoft to suppress Netscape and force them to accept the HTML standards we set." Du Qiu smiled with a conspiracy and said: "Now the file content and display on the Internet are mixed together. It is very troublesome to design and maintain. There is also a type-based language that cooperates with HTML. I am designing this language and will be launched in August next year."

Wei Zhiqin knocked on the conference table with a pure water bottle and joked: "Just Qiqi said that Chen Dayou is a bad uncle. I think Mr. Du, you are the real bad uncle. You are full of bad water and are so bad!" (To be continued.)
