As soon as he entered the house, a dark shadow excitedly jumped on Li Yuan.
"Fuck! Huzi, come down!" Huzi was followed by a little puppy. It sniffed Li Yuan's trouser legs curiously. Zhang Zhen smiled and said: "The other puppies have been given away. I just keep this one.
"Zihu San." Okay!
The name was as catchy as ever and easy to understand. Li Yuan rubbed his head and said, "Where's sister? Not at home?" Zhang Zhen said casually, "She? She went shopping with Xiao Pei."
"Ah? You called me home excitedly? Just let me see these two dogs?"
"You say it as if you have national affairs." Zhang Zhen rolled her eyes disdainfully.
"It's hard to come to the capital, you should buy some things, right?"
"Hmm? Are you ready to do something? Why didn't I know?"
"What do you know? Accompany me back to my hometown in a while, and the two families will meet. This time, my son-in-law will come first. Next year, the two of them will do things." Okay!
If Lafayette is angry, just bear with it!
"Yuanyuan, Susu is getting married, so she should also provide a dowry, right? Now that she is a cadre in the city, I don't know what the rules are."
"Hi! They have already allocated houses in their development area. For the rest, I will pay directly. Is one box enough? What do I need as a dowry? Is there anything I can't buy?"
"Nonsense!" Zhang Zhen spat,
"That means the importance of my mother's family! What does it mean to give money?"
"Okay! Just do whatever you want!"
"I knew my son could never be relied upon!" Li Yuan was too lazy to listen to his mother's nagging anymore, so he decided to go play with his son.
Zhang Zhen was even more unhappy: "Yuanyuan, do you think I'm annoying? Go to the kitchen to help kill the chicken! There are also two fish to clean up!" Li Yuan: "..."...Nothing to say!
Go ahead and be a butcher! You can't afford to offend Lafayette! Just as Li Yuan walked to the kitchen dejectedly, Gu Yuqin hugged Qiqi and suddenly shouted: "Yuanzi, I have your phone number. That person speaks a foreign language."
"?" Li Yuan walked into the room in confusion. He picked up the phone and said, "Hello!"
"Hello, Li. I'm Martin. I have good news for you. We have completed the sample production of the electronic pet."
"???" Li Yuan really didn't expect that Americans would actually learn to liver? Shouldn't it be delayed for several months?
Do you really have the aura of a king?
"Martin? How was the trial effect?"
"It means that all the functions you requested have been implemented according to the design requirements you mentioned. The program is not difficult in the first place. Now the Japanese version, Chinese version and other small languages are also outsourced. And the design of the product has basically been completed, and the spare parts manufacturer
We also have a booking target. However, I am not good at business negotiations. Do you need to find another business representative?"
"That's good." Li Yuan nodded with satisfaction. As for the business representative? Huo Laien and Elna can barely use it, so it's not a big problem.
In fact, by the early 1990s, the technology and hardware of electronic pets had matured, and they just needed an idea.
So it's normal for the speed to be faster. However, Li Yuan was still a little worried: "Martin, send a few samples to China and I'll try it out again."
"no problem."
"How was your trial going?" Li Yuan asked casually,
"Is it fun? Do you think there is a market for it?" Unexpectedly, the microphone suddenly fell silent. After a while, Martin suddenly said: "Li! It's an honor to cooperate with you. I have had a very happy life these days. That's it... that's it.
..." Li Yuan frowned slightly.
He asked uncertainly: "Martin, why do you want to resign? Didn't you know that Parallel Line has launched an IPO?" Hearing the microphone, Martin took a few deep breaths: "Li, in fact, we have all tried electronics.
Pet, all the dev team members, and I mean ALL! They all... baffled and see no market prospect at all. I admit, you started Parallel Line and have great hopes of going public, you will soon be
Multimillionaire, billionaire, maybe you are right. But my ideals are different. You have been ignoring technology development and are unwilling to strengthen the team in the R&D department. Those customized homepages, Internet communities, and this electronic pet? There are
What kind of technical content? You are not even willing to develop the latest version of the browser, build portals, and many other new technologies! Alas! Sorry! Li, if you admit that I am your friend, just listen to me
Advice - the Internet is a blue ocean, where there are too many mysterious and exciting new discoveries. But our parallel line has just set sail, how can you give up? Give up the entire parallel line? "
Listening to Martin's complaints, Li Yuan was silent.
In fact, Martin's complaint is correct or not. How do those fat geeks in the technical department know the beauty of electronic pets?
It's obviously for cute and silly girls, especially those with little imagination... Maybe there's a difference in cultural background.
But no matter what, electronic pets are a total outburst, and Martin can no longer stand it.
"Low technology content". But on the other hand, as long as it is listed on the market, Li Yuan will sooner or later give up the controlling stake in Parallel Line and transfer the R&D center to China.
We can’t say that Martin’s feelings are wrong! After all, Martin is still the idealist and has never been beaten by society at all.
Since our ideas don’t agree, let’s get along and part ways!
"Martin, you should have a new job, right?"
"Li, I am going to start a business with a few friends. Also, can you buy back my shares? I am short of US$00,000 in funds."
"Haha. I will let Huo Laien arrange it. The company will cancel your non-competition clause. The US$00,000 will be considered as my personal investment. You can give some symbolic shares! Let Huo Laien handle it in the same way. Also, keep it for you.
100,000 parallel lines of original shares. This should be a retreat." Li Yuan didn't even ask what industry he was in, he just made a blind investment.
Think of it as compensation for Martin!
"Thank you, thank you!" Martin looked very excited.
"Haha. Don't forget your old friend in the future. I wish you success!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Oh! I recommend my assistant Finley to you. He can temporarily act as an agent for the technical department. In the development of electronic pets, specifically his
Contribution." Li Yuan had a vague impression: "He is the doctoral student from U?" Maybe it was because Martin was so bored that the electronic pet was developed so quickly, right?
He has been looking forward to leaving for a long time. And he has already found Finley to take charge?
"Yes! That's him! I'll call him and let him talk to you on the phone."
"Um."
"Villain! You gotta cheer up! Don't forget the dandelion! Get the damn money out of here! Got it?"
"Haha!" I didn't expect Martin to be such a good guy, but he is... quite cute!... Just as Li Yuan sighed, a steady voice came from the microphone: "Boss, I'm Finley. Do you have
Do you need any instructions?" Li Yuan had no interest in beating around the bush.
Anyway, if Finley can represent him, he will represent him. If he can't, he will let the headhunting company recruit people from outside.
"Finley, what is your opinion on the development direction of Parallel Line?" The voice suddenly became slightly excited: "Boss! I think your words are meaningful."
"Oh?" Li Yuan was immediately interested. What's the deep meaning? Even I don't know what the deep meaning is.
Damn it! This Finley is a member of society, and he joined the Knife Cult in a blink of an eye. Martin
Did he start applying eye drops even before his bones were cold? Finley said: "Boss! At first, like everyone else, I thought you were just trying to make a successful IPO and then cash out. But my mind changed later -
Your goal is to create an Internet community and build a link in the Internet ecosystem. To make an analogy, there are actually certain functions of government agencies. And we are some government employees. Since the Internet environment is more free, we have parallel lines.
The environment will be more open. So you are the dream chaser and you really want to pioneer!" Li Yuan: "..." For a moment, Li Yuan didn't know which expression to use.
Pioneer? The title of pioneer is not very auspicious. Finley still said enthusiastically: "Since our parallel line is a small government, we must try to maintain an objective and fair manner! And profit and objective justice are in conflict. Only objective justice
, will there be a steady stream of customers. Blindly pursuing profits will lead to the loss of customers. But if you cannot make profits, the parallel community cannot survive? That’s why you come up with such a coup."
"What's the trick?" To be honest, Li Yuan himself was quite curious. What reason could Finley come up with?
"Your customized homepage and IPO financing are just to allow Parallel to survive. After all, startups need to burn money! Burn a lot of money! It also slows down technology development, avoids the media characteristics of the portal, and strives to maintain objectivity and fairness, and also
It has an open and free company image. But on the other hand, it mainly develops various games. After all, we will be a profitable listed company in the future and need a beautiful financial statement. So the income from the game business is entertainment tax, customers
It’s easy to accept it, and it won’t affect our image of being objective and fair.”
"Oh!" Li Yuan: Damn! Talent! What a talent! This Finley actually managed to justify himself?
But this also solved Li Yuan's biggest headache in the future - how to retreat from the parallel line in a reasonable way!
The more Finley talked, the more confident he became. He continued: "Boss, actually I have another idea."
"what idea?"
"We do need to make some choices. But there is an industry we can enter - the funeral industry!"
"Funeral industry?" Li Yuan managed to avoid choking to death.
"Boss! Think about it: our community is actually an independent society on the Internet. With everyone's birth, growth, marriage, and children..., of course, including being called by the Lord! They have a complete life experience.
Boss, don’t worry, those are also inheritance taxes.”
"Cough cough cough!" Li Yuan almost couldn't hold it back. You are an undercover agent sent by the IRS, right? Good guy, are you trying to create a world care alliance?
But no matter what, the reputation of the funeral king is too awkward, right?
"Finley, what do you think...?" Hearing Li Yuan's hesitation, Finley quickly explained: "Boss! In fact, it was you who inspired me - we want to expand related business on our personal homepage."
"ah?"
"Didn't you appear on a TV show a few days ago? I have a friend who is a reporter in China. He got the video for me, and I also found someone to translate it." Damn it!
Li Yuan has nothing to say. In this day and age, do you want to cross the Pacific and find a video of a Chinese program?
I don’t know how much thought Finley put into it. It’s obvious that this kid has already planned it... right? But this attitude... I like Brother Yuan!
Finley continued: "Boss! In fact, funeral companies in various places are very rich, and they are willing to pay for this advertising fee. There are also various religions. We must take care of the diversity of beliefs and give everyone comfort at the end of their lives. They also
I am willing to pay a large sum of money! I can even charge a sponsorship fee every year!" Li Yuan was right.
Funeral companies and chaotic religions in the United States are basically extremely rich and deeply involved.
In my last life, I had never heard of such a shared funeral? Finley is very imaginative, so he doesn’t know if it’s possible?
Then I thought about it, I don’t care if it works or not, just do whatever you want! And keep doing this,
The "objective and neutral" Internet community is not completely clueless. Maybe we can imagine Internet social giants like Witte and Facebook?
Li Yuan smiled and said: "Finley, then do it according to your idea. You will temporarily act as the vice president of technology!" Finley was overjoyed: "Thank you, boss! I will definitely develop the company!" Li Yuan said: "You
I also forgot a few things: the first thing, after the listing, my shareholding will be diluted to about 10%; the second thing, within five years, I will resign as CEO! Make sure we are parallel
Objective and neutral. Haha, also, we will not force it in terms of research and development, but we can invest in other Internet companies? In order to ensure our core competitiveness! In order to create a beautiful home for all Internet users!" Finley understood instantly.
He also understood Li Yuan's hint: "Boss! Don't worry. I guarantee that I'm yours!" Li Yuan chuckled and said, "Then let's take care of the electronic pet first. As for the trial issue... let's do this!
I will give you the contact information of the notebook and give it to their general agent. After the product comes out, we will try selling it in the notebook market." What Li Yuan was talking about was Sencun Bookstore.
Although they are a publishing house, what are they selling? And there are a lot of cute and silly girls in this book. Maybe they just like electronic pets?
Finley agreed without hesitation: "Boss! Leave it to me. Thank you! Thank you!"
"..."... After hanging up the phone, Li Yuan was a little bit dumbfounded. This painting style is very strange? He turned into a funeral king in the blink of an eye?
But at this moment, a tiger roar suddenly came: "Yuanyuan, are you still lazy? Are the chickens ready to lay eggs?"
"The little one is here——!" Let's not have any sweet dreams now. Let's kill the chicken obediently...
