Chapter 93 The first person to go to the Tao

Du Cunzhi's life is very regular, and is arranged completely according to the schedule of primary school students recommended by the Ministry of Education. He takes a nap at 12 noon every summer and gets up on time at 2 o'clock. When Du Qiu finished taking a shower, he just woke up and came out of the bedroom in full spirit and asked, "Xiaoqiu, what time will you hold a press conference at the afternoon?"

"At 3 o'clock, I was in the multi-functional academic lecture hall of Sanjiang University." Du Qiu wiped his head with a towel and explained: "This news conference was held by the municipal government. I went to be a commentator and told the reporter that several new technologies used to design the official website of Yuncheng."

"I read the newspaper and said that there were many reporters coming to this press conference, some of which came from foreign countries?"

"The city spent money to invite a few American journalists to come here, just to serve as a storefront and create some international influence. There are also a few Hong Kong and Taiwan journalists who are joining in the fun."

Du Qiu said it very plainly. In fact, not all foreign journalists who came to Yuncheng this time were all for the show, otherwise Zhong Gaoshan would not be nervous and called him early in the morning to ask him for his dressing questions.

In June, the Yuncheng City government approved hundreds of thousands of funds to Chen Dayou, asking him to find a way to promote Yuncheng's official website. Chen Dayou originally planned to find a few miscellaneous reporters or fake reporters in the United States to go through the motions, but after Netscape went public, Snapdragon became a hot spot in the venture capital industry in Silicon Valley, attracting the attention of some truly influential media. I don't know how he fooled it. In addition to professional IT magazines such as "Wire" and "Red Herring", it also brought the Asian version of the Wall Street Journal and Time magazine headquartered in Hong Kong to Yuncheng.

Although it is only an Asian version of the journalist, it is a sub-blog of the world's top media after all, so the official attaches great importance to it. When Du Qiu explained the poes algorithm at the Snapdragon headquarters, a group of bureaucrats such as Zhong Gaoshan were entertaining these journalists. As for the hospitality method, he didn't know.

In addition, the influential national newspaper Nikkei Shimbun also sent two reporters here. The two reporters also brought an interpreter, who was the old acquaintance, Aiko Komatsu. This person has doubts about his identity and unclear intentions. Du Qiu was afraid that Du Cunzhi would have random thoughts, so he did not mention it.

Du Chunhua is very good at socializing. From the families of provincial officials to the families of aunts who set up stalls on the street, he can get along well. Therefore, he is very informed and knows that the Japanese reporters are coming for Du Qiu, but she said nothing and interrupted: "Dad, have you made an appointment with Chen Xinmin? Call him and let him take my car with us."

"Okay, I'll fight now. You and Xiaoqiu will coax Jinyan."

"I'll just coax it alone. You can go down first and turn on the air conditioner in the car, otherwise it will be stuffy and hot later. Jinyan can't stand it."

The little brat is becoming more and more spoiled...

When my mother is not at home one day, she must train her carefully...

In the 1990s, there were few private cars, and parking was available everywhere in the community. Du Qiu's BMW was parked in the shade of the tree next to the flower bed downstairs. After he sat in and turned on the air conditioner, he called Jiang Danfeng and asked her to send someone to the entrance of Sanjiang University Library to lead his grandfather and his mother to attend the lecture later.

Jiang Danfeng was very busy, and this time he didn't have a long distance. He responded and hung up the phone. Du Qiu turned on the car radio. After listening to a few words from "Dream Water Town", he saw Chen Xinmin and his son Chen Yuanqi coming.

"Du Qiu, come back at noon and have a rest? I thought you were so busy today that you didn't even have time to drink water."

"I'm quite busy and sweating all over, so I'm back and take a shower." Du Qiu turned his head and greeted Chen Yuanqi, and asked, "Qiqi, have you finished reading the book in that language?"

"I finished reading it, but there are many things I can't understand."

"It doesn't matter. You can practice your skills with the knowledge you can understand first. If you don't understand, let's put it aside. I will teach you later when I have time."

"Thank you, Uncle Du!"

Chen Xinmin was very satisfied with his son's performance and said with a smile of relief and hope: "Qiqi is quite interested in programming. I was sleepy when I watched the videotapes you taught to employees for a while. He just finished watching it. It was more serious than watching Jackie Chan's movies, but the content was too deep. He couldn't quite understand it, so he swallowed it all in a hurry."

"Those video tapes are for people with basics. Qiqi is still young now and is a little bit of aggravated. I used to teach myself. I would sort out some experiences one day and print a copy for him."

"Oh, Du Qiu, you are more concerned about Qiqi than me, a father. I don't know how to thank you..."

Chen Xinmin is Du Qiu's most benefited from his time travel. Snapdragon purchased millions of electronic products from him and often provided after-sales service. His relationship was already very strong. After saying a few words of thanks, he changed the topic and said: "Du Qiu, your morning speech was so wonderful that I wanted to change careers and do the Internet business."

"You also went to the conference center in the morning? Why didn't I see it?"

"No, the store's business has been booming recently and I can't go. If I hadn't thought about taking Qiqi to the lecture and gained knowledge, I wouldn't have time to come back in the afternoon." Chen Xinmin rubbed his son's head and then explained: "I opened the Internet for my family a few days ago and saw the speech on your company's bbs at noon."

Under the strong supervision of the provincial and municipal governments, Yuncheng finally officially launched an Internet access service on August 12. Chen Xinmin was one of the first netizens to go to eat crabs. Du Qiu asked after hearing this: "How is the Internet used?"

"It can only be described in two idioms, one is eye-opening, and the other is spending money like soil." Chen Xinmin laughed and said, "The Internet fee is too expensive. It took only 4 days to open it. Qiqi's mother is frightened when she hears the cat's meow. She always asks me if I have pulled the cat's thread at night."

"2o yuan per hour?"

"If you count the phone bill, it's more than 2. I thought my business was already very dark, but I didn't expect the Post and Telecommunications Bureau to get even darker!" Chen Xinmin sat in front, put his hands on the pillow of the front seats, and asked, "Du Qiu, in your speech, you said that the computer market will be exhibited very quickly in the next few years. I also think it's the case. Now electronic accessories are standardized, and there is no difference in quality between compatible machines and brand machines. However, brand machines are much more expensive than compatible machines and have higher profits. Do you think I can register a company and build a brand? Is it feasible?"

Du Qiu briefly listed 10 companies with a market value of more than 100 million in the next five years. The hardware was mentioned only and did not say much. Unexpectedly, Chen Xinmin, who had not even been there, was moved by him. He admired his sense of smell and courage, and asked with a smile: "Brother Chen, do you want to do a big deal of 100 million?"

"I am not as capable as you, and I don't expect anything like 100 million. However, a man must have a little hard work and cannot always think about his wife and children." Chen Xinmin seemed to have thought about it and said with a clear mind: "There are dozens of computer brands in the country, and none of them in Sanjiang Province. If I do it, the government should have many preferential policies. After all, computers are also high-tech products. Now 486 has begun to be eliminated in big cities, but there are still many business opportunities in second- and third-tier cities. If the price is reduced, I estimate that selling 10,000 or 20,000 units a year should not be a problem."

"How many computers can you sell in a year now?"

"I only sold more than 2oo units in total last year. I thank you for your blessing this year and got several big orders. Now I have sold more than 7oo units, and there are nearly 0 Pentium machines."

This transaction is worthy of being the most business-minded among neighbors...

Sales have increased by more than 5 times in less than a year, no wonder they have ambitions...

In the original time and space, Chen Xinmin had a lot of assets, and there were five or six houses alone, but he was definitely not a big entrepreneur. Du Qiu didn’t know what he could do. After pondering for a moment, he asked: “What was the national computer sales last year?”

“About 650,000 units.”

“What is Lenovo’s sales?”

In the mid-90s, the computer market was the world of foreign companies, accounting for more than 70% of the domestic market. Chen Xinmin did not expect that Du Qiu did not ask HP or ibm, but asked Lenovo. After a moment of shock, he said: "They seem to have sold more than 40,000 units, which is the only domestic brand among the top five sales rankings."

It's only sold more than 40,000 units a year? This is a bit shabby. You should know that Lenovo can sell more than 40,000 computers in one month in 20 years...

The market potential is great, but the competitors are still very weak, so you can do it. Anyway, even an otaku who has no business talent can become a billionaire. What else is impossible?

At present, Snapdragon's electronic tax calculation software lacks hardware cooperation, and the profit is largely taken away by Founder. The operating system department is seriously insufficient and can only focus on research in the server field. However, it will definitely be launched in the P-terminal future. Now investing in Chen Xinmin, if the company is built, it will be a good partner in the future. If it is not done, it will be regarded as a favor for him to teach himself programming before traveling through time, and accumulate some experience in hardware manufacturing...

At this time, Du Cunzhi pushed open the security door. Du Chunhua walked out of the stairs with sleepy Lin Jinyan in his arms. Du Qiu stopped thinking and said, "Brother Chen, I am a software company and don't understand the hardware business. But sooner or later, computers will enter thousands of households like TVs. If you want to do it, I can provide some financial support, and I can't help anything else."
