Chapter 27 Arrangements

Du Qiu stayed in Beijing for more than a month last year. Not only did he move his residence from the Kempinski Hotel to the top-floor luxury apartment in the International Trade Center, but he also transported the Bentley convertible sports car he bought in Silicon Valley back to China as a means of transportation. Therefore, when he arrived on the afternoon of the 28th day of the 12th lunar month, Du Chunhua drove the car to pick him up.

In addition to Du Chunhua, Liu Yunlai also drove his Mercedes-Benz. After meeting, he explained with a smile: "Your sister doesn't know much about the road conditions in the capital. I happened to be fine in the afternoon, so I came here to be a navigator."

After the Internet Conference, Snapdragon set up two branches in Beijing, one is the R&D department, led by Li Jianhua, whose main business is to maintain electronic tax calculation software and develop derived financial software, and the other is the Commerce Department, led by Liu Yunlai, whose main business is business negotiation, government public relations and marketing.

Since the concept of smart cities was proposed, there have been many government public relations issues, especially at the end of the year. Liu Yunlai could not pick up the plane for such a simple reason. Du Qiu knew that he must have something important to talk about, so he went with the flow and said: "That happens, Bentley is a two-door four-seater car, and five people are a bit crowded. I'll take your car."

Liu Yunlai did have something to do, so he gave Du Qiu a folder as soon as he got on the car and said, "Yan Shengrong's work content after graduating from university is confidential. I can't find it. I only checked some of her family and her daily life through her neighbors."

"Don't check the confidentiality. I just need to know her basic situation so as not to get rid of her eyes." Du Qiu opened the folder and saw that the first page of Yan Shengrong's father was information, and said, "No wonder Yan Shengrong has flying fear and her father died in the air crash?"

"Well, in 1983, the flight from Guicheng to Beijing hit a military plane during takeoff, and 11 people were killed, including Yan Shengrong's father. This air crash can be said to have changed her future life. Otherwise, she might be working in a state-owned bank or financial institution now."

Du Qiu looked carefully and found that this was true. Yan Shengrong's father was one of the earliest financial elites sent abroad to study in 1978. He was less than 40 years old when the air crash occurred. He was already a deputy department-level cadre of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange and had a bright future. If he had not passed away, Yan Shengrong would definitely be a very comfortable second-generation female life now.

I originally thought this woman was a legend of grassroots struggle. She relied on beauty to get along with Wei Baoguo and climbed up to the class with scheming and hard work. Now, looking at her family background, it seems that this is not the case...

"Wei Baoguo has invested wealth in some domestic families in Switzerland, and Yan Shengrong's father works in the Administration of Foreign Exchange. Have they known each other for a long time?"

"It's very likely." Liu Yunlai shook his head and said, "The people who could invest abroad in the early 1980s had no simple background and cared about confidentiality. Even if they knew each other, outsiders might not know it. Now both of them have passed away and cannot be verified."

The second and third pages of the folder are information about Yan Shengrong's mother and younger brother. One is an ordinary woman working in the street neighborhood committee, and the other is a student studying in college. There is nothing special. The fourth page is information about Yan Shengrong, with very little content. In addition to the resume of his student days, there are only some life information such as "enterprise and honest", "good relationship between siblings", "genius", and "like drinking coffee".

"She married an old man like Wei Baoguo at a young age. Her neighbors still have such a good evaluation of her?"

"Yan Shengrong has helped neighbors a lot in recent years, and it is said that Wei Baoguo married in order to take care of him after he suffered a stroke, so his neighbors all sympathized with her."

"It's really interesting." Du Qiu closed the folder and said with a smile: "At first, you said that Wei Baoguo had a stroke shortly after she got married. Later, you said that Wei Baoguo had a stroke the night she married, and now she only married after Wei Baoguo had a stroke."

"Mr. Du, this is not because I am not doing things well, but because there are too many rumors." Liu Yunlai also smiled and said: "Even Wei Zhiming can't figure out the family privacy a few years ago. We outsiders don't know what the truth is."

"That's right." Du Qiu guessed with a villain's heart and said, "I think the rumors you said may have been deliberately released by Yan Shengrong to increase his charm and legend."

"Maybe."

When chatting about Wanyan Shengrong's gossip, neither of them spoke again. A brief cold incident occurred in the Mercedes-Benz. After a few minutes, Liu Yunlai turned the steering wheel, stopped the car on the side of the road, untied his seat belt, turned sideways and said, "Mr. Du, I have something to discuss with you."

"you say."

Liu Yunlai rubbed his forehead with his palm, looking in a dilemma, hesitated for a moment before saying, "Shaojie and his family want me to go into politics."

Du Qiu was mentally prepared for this and said, "This is a good thing, congratulations to Brother Liu. What position is it?"

"In order to guide the construction of smart city pilot projects, the top will soon establish a national Internet Development and Management Office. The CNnic we set up during the Internet Conference will be incorporated into a direct department." Liu Yunlai saw that Du Qiu did not object to his resignation, and his expression was obviously relaxed, saying: "I am a reporter and know some Internet knowledge. To compete for CNnic as the director, there is a great advantage."

Smart cities are no longer wings of butterflies, but wings of golden-winged roc. The storm flapping is fierce enough, which not only changes the administrative division of Yuncheng, but also changes the upper-level institutions of Beijing...

However, the inertia of history is also strong, and CNnic was incorporated into the system more than ten years ahead of schedule...

cnnic is the full name of China Internet Information Center. It was founded in 1997 in the time and space before traveling through time and space. It has been a semi-official gray institution for a long time until it was incorporated by the Cyberspace Administration of Information and Information Office in 2011. In the time and space after traveling through time, it was founded by Du Qiu and several other companies during the Internet Conference last year. It originally planned to develop into a guild organization similar to the Federation of Industry and Commerce, but after going around, it was actually incorporated by high-level departments more than ten years ahead of schedule.

Liu Yunlai and Du Qiu got along well and cooperated well. They were friends with similar interests. He went to CNnic as the director, which gave Du Qiu an additional spokesperson in the system that could influence Internet policies for a long time. It was an unexpected surprise. So he asked: "What is the level of the Internet Development and Management Office and the CNnic Director?"

"The Cyber ​​Management Office is a department-level unit and is directly under the administration of the Government Affairs Council. Director CNnic is the chief director." Liu Yunlai laughed and said, "When I was a reporter at Xinhua News Agency, in order to attract advertising to generate revenue, the unit appointed me as a deputy director, and now it is just right."

There are a lot of department-level cadres in Beijing, but there are few real-powered cadres who can serve in the directly managed institutions of the Government Council. Liu Yunlai just turned 36 this year, with family resources behind him. He is also in a rapidly developing industry. There is a lot of room for future development. Du Qiu stretched out his hand and said in a sincere tone: "Congratulations to Brother Liu!"

"Thank you, Mr. Du." Liu Yunlai shook hands with him vigorously and said with sincerity: "I have not been able to get this step without the support and care of Mr. Du this year."

"Why do we have to say such things? We support each other and take what we need. Without your help, Snapdragon would not have developed so well." Du Qiu let go and asked, "When will Brother Liu perform his duties?"

"The Cyber ​​Management Office will first list after the Spring Festival, and then it will be CNnic's turn. It is probably early March." Liu Yunlai put on his seat belt again and started the car while saying, "Chen Du, Chairman CNnic, after the Spring Festival, someone should communicate with you."

Because there were few domestic Internet companies at this time, CNnic was just an empty stance. Apart from preparing for the Second Internet Conference in 1996, there was almost no other job. Du Qiu, the chairman, was a chairman of the board for more than half a year, and only participated in a few dinner parties in Beijing, and did nothing else. Hearing this, he said to himself: "Fortunately, you told me in advance, otherwise I would have forgotten that I was still the chairman of CNnic."

Liu Yunlai smiled and sighed: "Apart from joining the army to fight Vietnam, I have been the most enjoyable time when I worked at Snapdragon. Actually, I don't want to go into politics. Unfortunately, my brother-in-law is not good, and Shaojie and their family have no successors. We must recommend me to be the storefront."

Sun Shaobao is in his forties. Although he is at the department level, he has been hanging out in various virtual positions, never doing practical work, nor has real power, and his career is almost like this. Liu Yunlai not only received attention from several bigwigs because of his top-level design internal reference articles, but also performed amazingly in the drafting of the smart city draft, accumulated a lot of political resources, and had far exceeded Sun Shaobao's room for cultivation and growth. It is reasonable to recommend him.

However, this led to a problem. Liu Yunlai signed a two-year work contract with Snapdragon in June last year. There was an option reward in the contract. Based on the current valuation of 20 billion yuan, it was worth about 28 million. If he resigned in March and became the director of CNnic, he would not get this reward.

28 million is not a small amount. If you don’t give it, it will hurt your affection. After all, Liu Yunlai has made a lot of contributions to the company. If you give it, it is suspected of transferring interests, which will ruin the rules of the officialdom, which will be detrimental to Liu Yunlai’s career.

Du Qiu tapped his fingers on his knees, pondered for a while, and came up with a side ball that took care of both ends and said, "Brother Liu, since you left the job in March, let's do something for me."

"Mr. Du, you said."

"When I fooled you into Snapdragon last year, I promised to help you build a portal that can be launched in the United States in two years. Do you still remember?"

"Of course I remember." Liu Yunlai laughed and said, "President Du also promised to make me a billionaire before 2000. At that time, I thought it was a fantasy and didn't believe it at all. I also asked you to use 200,000 US dollars as collateral."

"This promise is still valid." Du Qiu continued to lay the groundwork and said: "Brother Liu, any Snapdragon employee can use his spare time and the company's free resources to start a business. If the business is successful and when he starts his own business, Snapdragon will hold 80% of the shares and employees will hold 20%. Do you know this rule?"

"Of course I know."

"During the Internet Conference last year, I founded China.com at the product promotion conference, which was that." Du Qiu was afraid that he would forget it, so he reminded: "At that time, you registered your first user with your son's nickname."

"Yes, Shaojie also took a few photos to commemorate."

"Last year, there were too few netizens, so this website has been in a state of freezing and has not been operated. Now I think the time is almost done, so I am ready to enable it." Du Qiu stopped going around with him and said: "I am going to build this website into a leading and internationally renowned news and current affairs portal website in China, and then go public in the United States. If you want to achieve this goal, you must have a strong partner. If Brother Liu can match us with a joint venture with Xinhua News Agency, you can get 20% of the shares of China.com."

Liu Yunlai knew the elegance when he heard the string song. He understood that this was the retreat arranged by Du Qiu for him. He nodded and agreed, "I will do my best!"

"If Sister Sun is interested, she can change jobs to be the editor-in-chief of China. I will feel at ease, Brother Liu will feel at ease, and the country will feel at ease."
