The meeting with Bao Yue and Ma Feng ended in a peaceful atmosphere.
After the conversation was over, Gu Kun treated the other party to a nice dinner, which was full of delicious food and water. They had a few drinks together and parted happily.
Gu Kun signed a check for 20 million US dollars to Bao Yue on the same day, so that he could start planning as soon as possible. However, considering that inspections and research will take time, negotiations to buy the agency rights will also take time, and servers must be set up, which is a small internal area.
Pressure sealing test.
Bao Yue estimates that it will take a month to select and inspect a good game, which means buying out the agency rights at the end of May.
Then the internal stress test of the server will be carried out until the end of June. During the same month, we will go to other sales channels for promotion and promotion. We will promote it to Internet cafes in major first- and second-tier cities. The server will be officially launched on July 1st.
When the server was first launched, players were given free access to the game for two months to attract traffic and facilitate recommendations from Internet cafe owners. This was equivalent to not charging for the entire summer. It would be great to be able to charge for the start of the school season on September 1st.
Therefore, if we expect Bao Yue's business to grow big enough to do justice for God, we will have to wait until the end of the year. Gu Kun estimates that Bao Yue can rely on his operational advantages to push down the legendary industry rankings by the end of the year.
It's amazing. If you really can't do it, then Gu Kun can only spend some money to swipe some cards, make the financial data beautiful, and fight for the right to formulate industry rules in advance.
And because there is no need to consider payment issues before September, Ma Feng can also take a breather on the Alipay project. Now he can go back and immediately build a team and make technical preparations. It will definitely be time to develop the original test version of Alipay during the summer vacation.
Gu Kun plans to pay more attention to this matter in the second half of the year to see if there are any online game dogs who want to break through the lower limit and seek death.
…
The negotiations with Bao Yue and Ma Feng used up all the free time Gu Kun had in China before returning to Lanzhou.
On April 15, a Sunday, the route and runway applied for by female secretary Saranova were finally approved.
Early that morning, after Gu Kun and his newlywed wife Zhu Youran of two months had a final soothing and tender moment, they got up to wash up, change clothes, and have breakfast.
"Study hard and we'll see each other again during the summer vacation." Gu Kun said goodbye warmly.
"Don't worry, don't be tired." Zhu Youran insisted on sending Gu Kun to the airport with him, and Gu Kun agreed.
The convoy had been waiting downstairs for a long time. It was the same two Rolls-Royce utility vehicles that drove the way and ended up, with a double-digital Maybach in the middle, and headed straight to Pudong Airport.
Gu Kun's Airbus A330 special plane will land at Pudong Airport on time at 9:00 a.m., then leave an hour for re-inspection, preparation and refueling, and take off at 10:00 a.m. sharp.
This A330 has been specially modified. Its load capacity can reach thirty or forty tons (including furniture). The tail cabin has also been specially processed. Like a transport aircraft, the hatch can be lowered and a luxury car can be driven directly in.
The total weight of Gu Kun's extended version of the two-part gold Maybach exceeds 10 tons (mainly because those tons of gold and platinum take up a lot of the weight), and only this kind of modified special plane can transport it away.
The two tool carts were left in Hujiang for my wife to go out to play on weekends while going to school.
Although it was just a tool cart to Gu Kun, in 2001 in Hujiang, a Luoluo worth tens of millions of yuan was still quite respectable. No one would recognize it, and no one would dare to look down on it.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this kind of pomp and circumstance is really no one else. If a person can live like this for one day, this life will be worth the price of admission."
When the Maybach was being installed at the airport, almost all the ground staff who were serving it came to watch. Some of them, who were supposed to be on their break, also came over to try to find a job to help. They were filled with emotion at the same time, feeling that today
I bought a lottery ticket and saw the world.
Just like when you see a rich man reversing his car, there will be 17 or 18 volunteer parking attendants who don't get paid just to watch and shout, "More back, a little to the left, the steering wheel is dead, come back, stop!"
"
In fact, people don't need this kind of voluntary command at all.
The plane took off on time, and Zhu Youran was still in the car not far from the runway until the last moment, waving goodbye, and Gu Kun waved back from the window. As the plane began to taxi, the female secretaries around Gu Kun and those before him
The woman finally breathed a sigh of relief secretly:
For two whole months, Gu Kun had not visited them. Now that the princess finally stopped clinging to her husband, she had a two-and-a-half-month window.
Four hours later, at two o'clock in the afternoon, Gu Kun landed at Lanfang International Airport on time, and then sailed back to the main island through the cross-sea cable-stayed bridge of the airport island. He first went to Zhaoming Palace for a courtesy visit and asked about the current situation of the Grand Duke and his wife.
No need to mention anything.
Gu Kun left Lanfang for two months and when he returned to Zhaoming Palace, he noticed that the front half of the palace was no longer in use and was in a state of decoration. Zhu Meidong and his wife only lived in the inner palace in the back half.
The decoration team was sent from Huaxia. Instead of inviting the people from Tongji who were accustomed to cooperating with Hujiang Academy, they went to Fangzhou City and invited some experts from the Ancient Architecture Design Institute of Huaxia Academy of Fine Arts to lead the team.
.Obviously, it was the suggestion that Gu Kun had discussed with Zhu Zedong before to "convert Zhaoming Palace into a museum and open it to the public." In the two months since he left, it has been officially implemented.
The former site of Zhaoming Palace is not very big. Not counting the city wall, it is only about 300 meters long and 200 meters wide, which means it covers an area of about seven hectares. However, the population of the Grand Duke and his family is now sparse. If the Grand Duke and his wife live there, there is
The northernmost area is more than 10,000 square meters, which is enough for living. The front can really be repaired and maintained first.
This really touched Gu Kun. His Highness the Grand Duke was truly selfless and loved the people like a son. He said that he would donate the palace to become a museum unit.
After all, the new palace Gu Kun promised to build for the Grand Duke's family is still on the drawing board.
The two parties were polite. After Zhu Medong asked about his daughter's current situation in China, Gu Kun immediately said: "Father-in-law, I have a coral sea view villa in Benma Reef. If you don't mind it, I will give it to you as a wedding gift. I will give it to you in the new palace."
We will choose a site immediately and supervise the construction carefully, and construction will start next month!”
Since his daughter got married, Zhu Zedong seems to have settled a worry and his mentality has become a little more kind: "There is nothing to be divided between each other. It's not like we have not lived through hard times. Going back more than 20 years, we were the same at that time.
It’s just a well-off family that depends on others. I was used to hardship before I was 40 years old.”
The father-in-law can be polite, but Gu Kun has to be polite: "It's not just for you, you personally set an example by relocating, and it is also a demonstration to the citizens. When I come back this time, I will start upgrading the city appearance immediately.
It will be postponed to the summer at the latest, and China may be about to join the WTO. The opening time of our Lanfang Sailing Hotel is set to be after the anniversary of China's accession to the WTO, but it must be ensured before September. The official oil production of Lanfang Oilfield is not
The sales schedule is set at the beginning of October.”
For city upgrades and urban renewal, it is best to get the contract agreement part done before these points, so as not to have to sit around and raise prices all night long.
Rhythm is important.
Zhu Meidong nodded: "You can figure it out yourself. It's better for me to be more detached about this kind of thing. Those people who were left behind by the construction department, especially those who worked for Zhu Jingye, you think you can put aside their flaws and make use of them."
Just use it, it really doesn’t work. If you’re a technocrat, I won’t object if you want to use someone from the Tongji Department of Jiaotong University. However, local people are easy to talk to and can easily persuade ordinary citizens. I hope you will take this into consideration. There are many outsiders in the decision-making level, and it is easy to be dissatisfied.
.”
"I know all these and will take care of them. Technology belongs to technology, and management belongs to management." Gu Kun reassured Zhu Medong that he didn't have to worry about hard work.
…
Gu Kun's time in Hujiang was like a vacation, so he didn't have much to rest after returning to Lanfang. He was extremely energetic and got back to work after a day's rest.
Early that morning, he drove to the construction department of Lanfang, a dozen-story office building with a history of ten years in the center of Lanfang.
This place was once the territory of Zhu Jingye, Gu Kun's old rival.
Of course, Zhu Jingye was only assigned to Gu Kun as his opponent for more than two years, from about 1995 to 1997. Later, when the incident of Zhu Jingye’s collusion with foreigners came out, he was dealt with according to law by his uncle, Grand Duke Zhu Meidong.
.
Since then, Gu Kun's power has been almost the only one that will be competitive in Lan Fang's future. However, Gu Kun's appearance is still relatively good-looking, and he did not immediately deprive the inheritance left by Zhu Jingye, so Lan Fang's
In recent years, the construction authorities in the border area have almost been in the same state as Qingshui Yamen, and can only engage in real estate projects to renovate the old city.
As for Gu Kun's large-scale new projects, whether they are cross-sea bridges, water diversion projects from Sarawak, or expansion of ports and international airports, they have bypassed the construction authorities and are dedicated to raising funds and managing them.
Some of Zhu Jingye's most trusted henchmen were afraid that Gu Kun would remember them and kill them in the future, so they all found other jobs in the past few years. Otherwise, they had a little savings in the early years, which was enough to live in Kuching.
If you buy a few houses in the urban area, you can directly immigrate to East Malaysia. Those who are still there after a few years are basically people who have no personal training with Zhu Jingye and just work in Qingshui Yamen.
Gu Kun decided to put these people to use now. The city renovation work should be left to foreigners to plan. If the distribution of benefits is not very even, the citizens of Lanzhou will easily be dissatisfied.
It's easier to talk to people who are native to their hometown.
Of course, before coming in person, Gu Kun also asked his cadres from the Jiaotong University Department and the Tongji Department to act as villains. He first organized a written examination for the employees who were originally in the construction department and organized them selflessly.
The content of the written examination, of course, covers everything from ordinary department organization and management to project management/supervision, planning and design knowledge, and the question proportions and score weights have been adjusted according to the position.
Gu Kun does not expect that all the people left behind will have strong professional qualities, but they have to be passable. The situation in Zhu Jingye's era where guanxi households were rampant will definitely not happen.
People who passed the written test naturally became less and less able to disobey Gu Kun.
