"Okay, okay...please say!" Mr. Ma has been smiling since he entered the conference room, but now the smile on his face has decreased by 80%, and the remaining twenty percent is also very stiff.

Does Hong Tao have a follow-up plan? It must be. Since he talked to Diane, he began to think about how to drag Zhou Chuan into a big pit, and he could not detect the problem.

If you just insist on increasing investment and expanding stocks, you have to join forces with Diane, Qi Rui and Paul to fight against Mr. Ma. This means telling Zhou Chuan that his four shareholders are secretly united.

With Zhou Chuan's professional qualities, he will figure out in minutes that the situation of Xuntong's internal shareholders is very complicated, and he may not get involved. It is obviously meaningless to just eliminate Mr. Ma.

How can Zhou Chuan not see the relationship between shareholders in Xuntong Company? Only with the purpose of the company's interests, propose a plan that Mr. Ma had to agree with. Just like he used the new company as a cover, he had to find a cover himself. In the end, Hong Tao thought of the reason for the branch.

This reason was not thought out of nothing, but an already-developed plan. If Mantis Shrimp Company wants to operate this large-scale online game of World of Warcraft nationwide, the first thing to ensure is the Internet speed issue. If the delay of online games is too high, it will be a big deal.

However, if you want to achieve this goal in China, it is not something that a broadband operator can achieve, because China's telecommunications lines are generally divided into two major parts: north and south. Most of the lines in the north are in the hands of China Unicom, while the south is the world of telecommunications companies.

The relationship between these two companies is similar to the Ministry of Culture and the State Administration of Press and Publication. It is both an equal partner and a competing opponent. Therefore, if you use China Unicom's line to play the game of servers in the telecommunications room, the delay will often be very high, and vice versa.

What should I do? Most game companies rent bandwidth from two companies at the same time, or simply build two servers, one mainly targets northern users and the other mainly targets southern users.

Hong Tao also wanted to do this. He wanted to group World of Warcraft servers into two, one in the Shanghai Stock Exchange, all of which use newly purchased HP servers, specifically facing southern provinces; one in Beijing, facing northern users, using half of HP servers, and the other half is purchased from equipment providers around the world by bidding.

The advantage of this is that the use of servers and bandwidth is higher, the disadvantage is that the investment is much higher, and there are also two operating teams, so the operating costs are also increased.

However, Hong Tao finally chose to do this, and he had been entangled with Blizzard on this issue for a long time. Finally, he persuaded Blizzard Company to pay an additional $3 million in equipment procurement.

This time, he not only thought about the game users, but also wanted to use this opportunity to strengthen the operation team of Mantis Shrimp Company and expand it to a certain scale. By the way, he also had to cultivate his own server management and procurement of talents. In the same sentence, cultivating talents is the ultimate goal, and all other processes are for this purpose.

With the technical guidance of Blizzard Company, Hong Tao believes that the technical team of Mantis Shrimp Company will learn new knowledge that was difficult to access before, and these new things are the world's leading technologies and concepts. You cannot spend all your money in vain, you have to pick it up bit by bit from Blizzard Company!

If Director Ma does not collude with Zhou Chuan, the branch's affairs must be put on the agenda. Now it is just right, let's talk about it. This matter is also a major decision that has a great impact on the future of Xuntong Company. Whether Director Ma supports or opposes, he will be a loser in this game. This is called open plot, torture you openly.

But is it that easy to set up a branch in the Shanghai Stock Exchange? This is really not easy to deal with. First of all, there is the problem of technicians and equipment. Now Xuncom is expanding with all its personnel, and its personnel are a little stretched. They can't draw too many technical backbones to go to the Shanghai Stock Exchange to open up land.

The second is the relationship with telecommunications. The root of Xintong Company is in Beijing Unicom. If you go to the chassis of other people's telecommunications, it would be strange if there is no resistance.

Finally, it is the issue of funds. It doesn’t cost much to establish a branch, but it is not so easy to build a new computer room, which can often be invested in hundreds of millions or hundreds of millions of yuan.

In the past two years, Xuncom Company's business volume has been rolling upward, but most of these businesses have been snatched from price wars with peers, with very little profits and the company's capital stock is not that abundant, so it is difficult to take out hundreds of millions of yuan at once.

But Hong Tao has solved these three problems, and we have to mention one person here, oh, no, it should be two people, a pair of brothers, Paul and Marx.

Since the end of SARS last year, Paul's brother Marx has quietly returned to China. Why did he come? He made money. Seeing his younger brother doing well in China, his brother became a little jealous and wanted to come here to earn some extra money. So he quit his original job and became an external engineer at Ericsson Company, and then he went to the telecom company in Shanghai to work as a foreign chief engineer.

And that is exactly where Paul worked before. Foreigners also had nepotism and relied on their familiarity to stuff their brother in.

Paul never mentioned this matter to Hong Tao, but he had a quick-talking wife. As soon as Sun Lili knew about it, she immediately told Zhang Yuanyuan, and then Hong Tao knew it.

Hong Tao did not make any noise at that time, mainly because he didn't want Paul and Sun Lili to quarrel over this matter. Who would be willing to have someone who talks too quickly and even spread the family affairs out.

But this time, Hong Tao really couldn't cover up Sun Lili, so he directly mentioned Marx's problem with Paul. He needed the two brothers to help him take charge, and he must get the branch matter done.

Guess what Paul reacted after hearing this? Yes, he was not surprised at all, and admitted to Hong Tao that he deliberately revealed it to Sun Lili, with the purpose of letting Hong Tao know that Marx was coming.

Why did you insist that Hong Tao know that Marx is in China? Because Paul wants Marx to come to the Communications Company, which is paid a lot of money here. He is a shareholder of the company and can always take care of his brother.

But he couldn't speak with Hong Tao, and Marx didn't allow him to do so. He had no choice but to take the wife's route, and pass the matter to Hong Tao's ears through Sun Lili's turn, and then let Hong Tao come to talk to him on his own initiative. This would not be contrary to his brother's wishes, but also bargaining with Hong Tao, and it was not considered asking Hong Tao for help.

Who said foreigners are stupid? They are just monkeys, they don’t need to stick to their hair, they already have a bunch of hair!

This time, Hong Tao did not complain that Sun Lili was too quick-talking. Just as Marx took charge, the matter of Xuntong Branch was solved halfway. Isn’t there anyone? Go poaching! Hong Tao personally called Marx for a long time, and Xiaozhi used reason and made a lot of money with emotion, and repeatedly won over and bribed him. Finally, he persuaded Marx to be the deputy general manager and chief engineer of the Shanghai Branch of Xuntong Company, and then went to his previous unit to poach people.

As long as you are someone who can use it in the branch, you start with twice the salary and spend it on me with the money. You must smash the basic team before the end of August, otherwise even your brother will go to find a new job together.

In this way, the technical backbone team of the branch was basically solved, and by the way it also brought a strong telecommunications color. What is the relationship? It's just people. From deputy general managers to chief engineers to technicians, they all jumped from the telecommunications industry in Shanghai. What they brought were not only people and technology, but also background and connections, so Hong Tao felt that it was not unfair to give a high salary.

Now everything is ready, but the east wind is in the face, that is, money! If Hong Tao’s original plan, the investment will mainly rely on those families to make a profit first. After the Mantis Shrimp Company goes public, it will have sufficient funds, and then become one of the major shareholders of Xuncom Company by purchasing shares. The funds that Kang Li and Hu Changjian have previously operated were intended to do this.

But the plan cannot keep up with the changes and he is short of money, so Zhou Chuan rushed to deliver the money. Isn’t there a saying that the person who knows you best in the world is the enemy, and this enemy is really caring.
