Reborn since 1993

Chapter 344 This is a humble room
Sohu's chief operating officer, chief executive officer, vice president, marketing director, editor-in-chief, copyright director, news center director and other people have left Sohu one after another.

After leaving Sohu, they became founders or CEOs of a large number of Internet companies including Youku, iQiyi, Financial Street, TOM Online, eLong, Ku6, and WoLe.com.

Not to mention Kingsoft. Does Kingsoft treat Lei Jun poorly? Qiu Bojun and the Kingsoft management handed over the entire company to Lei Jun.

But when he felt that he could no longer make any progress at Kingsoft and even lost his passion and motivation, Lei Jun resolutely left Kingsoft and started the Xiaomi era.

This is an era of chaos and chaos, when thousands of people go into business. When technical tycoons or big names feel they have reached their ceiling in a company, some are willing to continue lying down, but many also choose to start their own business.

This scene is inevitable within Dongling Hi-Tech in the future, especially at Tianya Company. When a large group of technical experts or top management talents gather in a company, the company will begin to develop at an astonishing speed.

But when the company goes public or reaches the ceiling of the industry, and the management is fixed, and then there is serious internal competition, it is estimated that many technical experts will leave one after another and find another pond to start developing. This is inevitable.

It is better to loosen up than to block. It is simply unrealistic to tie all these talents to Dongling Hi-Tech and Tianya.com. It is better to set up rules and regulations as soon as possible.

For example, Wang Jiangmin, who is going to start his own business today, Li Dongling’s requirement is very simple. As long as he does not compete with Tianya Company for the same business, he is willing to support him and even invest in his company!

Hearing Li Dongling's words, Wang Jiangmin's face showed joy. The anti-virus software industry he wanted to work in had no competitive relationship with Tianya Company at all.

Wang Jiangmin is quite confident in his technology, but starting a company is different from developing technology on his own. He needs an office, recruits staff, advertises, and has sales channels, all of which cost money.

Over the years, Wang Jiangmin has won many honors at the Bearing Instrument Factory in Shandong Province, but the salary in a state-owned factory is not low, but it is not much higher either. The salary he has saved over the years is not as much as he earned this year at Tianya Company.

If there is support from Dongling Hi-Tech and Tianya Company, all these early troubles can be solved and Wang Jiangmin will not need to worry.

"Thank you, Mr. Li. Jiangmin Antivirus Software Company is willing to accept investment from Tianya Company!"

Wang Jiangmin said directly that at this time, he had no idea how much money Jiangmin Antivirus Company could make, and he was not even sure whether it could make money or whether there were any companies willing to buy his antivirus software. He just wanted to realize his ambition in the antivirus software industry.

Li Dongling glanced at Wang Jiangmin and asked, "How much investment does Jiangmin Antivirus Software Company need?"

"It's up to Tianya Company to decide. Just lend me an office and give me a computer, that's enough!" Wang Jiangmin said with a smile.

Wang Jiangmin's words gave Li Dongling a headache. Li Dongling turned his attention to Guo Jingyun. Guo Jingyun had been dealing with Wang Jiangmin for a long time and was most familiar with him.

Guo Jingyun saw Li Dongling's gaze and understood what he was thinking. He thought for a moment and said, "How about this? Tianya Company will invest one million yuan and provide Jiangmin Antivirus Software Company with an office that can accommodate fifty people, as well as corresponding computers, telephones, printers and other equipment, and hold 35% of the shares of Jiangmin Antivirus Software Company!"

Guo Jingyun was able to offer such conditions because he valued Wang Jiangmin's skills. Although he was almost fifty years old, Wang Jiangmin's development technology was indeed first-class, especially in the field of anti-virus software. There might not be many people in the whole Zhongguancun who could be his rival. Guo Jingyun felt that Jiangmin Anti-Virus Software could make a name for itself.

"I have no objection!" Wang Jiangmin said immediately after hearing this. Such conditions were already a pleasant surprise for him.

"Congratulations Jiang Min!"

"Jiang Min, if your Jiangmin Company goes public in the future, don't forget us old friends!"

Zhu Chongjun, Wu Xiaojun and others said to Wang Jiangmin with a smile. Although there was a bit of sarcasm in their words, they sincerely hoped that the decision made by Wang Jiangmin at the age of forty would come true.

"I was just impulsive. Who knows what the future route will be like? I can't compare with the older brothers. If I don't take this trip, I'm afraid I won't have another chance!"

Wang Jiangmin said to Zhu Chongjun and others, although Zhu Chongjun seems to have no desires now, he has already achieved success and fame, and is as famous as Qiu Bojun. It's just that he is now accustomed to the disputes in the martial arts world and has lost his sense of power.

Now he is fine too, and Wu Xiaojun is next to him. They work as consultants at Tianya Company. When they are busy, they help solve some development problems, and otherwise they do some charity and other activities they like.

But Zhu Chongjun and Wu Xiaojun are famous and have a high status in the industry. Even if they are just consultants, it is of great significance to Tianya Company. Just like Lei Jun joined Kingsoft because of Qiu Bojun, with veteran programmers like Zhu Chongjun around, Tianya Company can attract many technical experts.

Not to mention, Zhu Chongjun also has many titles and close ties with the Science and Technology Commission. The computer test questions of the Yanjing Municipal Government Examination Institution, such as the Yanjing Computer Application Basic Examination and the National Computer Advanced Technology Examination, were all developed by him. It is absolutely worthwhile to ask Zhu Chongjun to serve as the technical consultant of Tianya Company. With their connections and human resources between Yanjing and the Science and Technology Commission, Tianya Company can obtain them.

"We are not as good as you. We can't make any progress now. Let's follow Zhixuan to develop the business and earn some money to support our family!"

Zhu Chongjun smiled, but looking at Wang Jiangmin, who was over 40 years old but still as enterprising as ever, he couldn't help but sigh at the other party's resilience. In terms of physical condition, Wang Jiangmin was definitely inferior to them, but the other party's unwillingness to admit defeat and courage to take risks were really not comparable to ordinary people.

In the afternoon, Li Dongling made several phone calls, and then he, together with Guo Jingyun, Zhou Jiaozhu, Wang Jizhi, Zhou Zhiliang and others, took several cars and headed towards a shabu-shabu restaurant in Yanjing in a mighty manner.

At that time, there was no such thing as a time-honored brand among Yanjing hotpot restaurants. Basically, people would flock to the one that tasted good. After eating there a few times, if the food didn't taste good, they would switch to another one. It was not the brand that determined everything; it all depended on word of mouth.

"We often come to this shop. Although the sign is not eye-catching, the food here is really good, and is no worse than those time-honored shops!"

The car arrived in Xicheng District, and after winding through several streets, it stopped in front of a hot pot restaurant that looked like the old gatehouse you see on TV.

After getting off the car, Zhu Chongjun told everyone that he was the one who brought them to this place. Zhou Hongyi, Guo Jingyun, Zhou Zhiliang and others also nodded repeatedly, obviously they had been here before.

After entering, Li Dongling saw that it was not big inside, but there were already quite a few people sitting there, many of whom came with their families. Since they could bring their family members here, even if the food was bad, it probably wouldn't be that bad.

Guo Jingyun, Zhou Hongyi and others put several tables together, placed three copper pots in the middle, and asked the store owner to start serving the meat. Health preservation is not advocated these days, and no one wants to eat vegetables when they can eat meat.

Just as he sat down, Li Dongling's cell phone rang. After answering the call, he was surprised to hear the voice coming from inside. He didn't expect the other party to call him, "Mr. Zhang?"

The person who called was Zhang Yufeng, the head of Fangzheng. Hearing the anxious tone on the other end of the phone, Li Dongling just told the place, and then there was no sound on the other end of the phone. It was obvious that he was rushing over here.

Li Dongling put down the phone and shook his head. Although he didn't know what Zhang Yufeng was going to do, given Zhang Yufeng's desire for fame and fortune, anything that made him rush over here must be about profit, apart from fame!
"A few friends will come over later, let's have a toast together!" Li Dongling said to everyone.

When the soup in the copper pot began to boil, another man with long hair and a long face came in and looked into the store curiously. When he saw the man, Li Dongling waved to him.

"Boss Li really knows how to choose a place. The shabu-shabu meat here is the best in Yanjing!"

The visitor pulled a chair and sat down. Li Dongling said to everyone, "This is Tie Gong..., Boss Yu, the founder of New Oriental Education Company!"

Looking at Yu Minhong in front of him, Li Dongling almost let out Luo's teasing of him, and quickly said to everyone, "New Oriental is now the best English training institution in China!"

Afterwards, Li Dongling introduced Guo Jingyun, Zhou Hongyi and others to Yu Minhong.

"Boss Yu, cheers!"

Guo Jingyun, Zhou Hongyi and others were not familiar with English training, but they naturally could not ignore the people invited by Li Dongling. At this time, Master Zhou, who raised the beer bottle, would definitely not treat him like he did when inviting a used car dealer to dinner.

After Yu Minhong arrived, several other people arrived, and they came together.

"Boss Li, it's really hard for me to find this place. It's really hard to find!"

Zhang Yufeng, who came in, wanted to ask why you chose such a place, but when the words were on the tip of his tongue, he changed his mouth and said that he was treating guests to a meal, and nowadays it is usually a star-rated hotel.

But in Li Dongling's case, especially when thinking of the news he had just seen and the profits Li Dongling had made in America, even if it was just a store like this, if Li Dongling was willing to come, he would have to say that it was an honor for the humble business!
Li Dongling's gaze was directed towards the man who came with Zhang Yufeng. Compared with more than 20 years later, his hair was thicker and he looked much younger.

Seeing Li Dongling's gaze, Zhang Yufeng looked at the person next to him, and pulled the person next to him to sit down, "Mr. Lei, you are now the general manager of Jinshan Yanjing. If we meet on the road, let's come together!"
