Reboot 2003

Chapter 48 048: Small Abacus
Old Chen, what are you doing sending emails?
Chen Qin quickly reminded: "Dad, that one needs traffic!"

Chen Jianyun said: "I have turned on the traffic, and there is traffic!"

Lou Xuemei stopped knitting in surprise: "How much is it?"

"It's not expensive, 30 yuan!" Old Chen quickly explained, "Isn't this what Lao Xu needs? He learns this, so we have to send him a try."

Lou Xuemei was puzzled: "What did you learn? Isn't it easy to send emails?"

Old Chen explained: "Hey, it wasn't at the end of last month that he... went looking for a job."

"Old Xu?"

"That's right, it was almost settled, but the boss came halfway and asked Lao Xu two questions, but Lao Xu didn't answer, so the boss said that it's no use if Lao Xu doesn't even have a computer."

Lou Xuemei became more and more confused: "Isn't he working as a salesman in Lao Qi's company? He works well and earns a high salary."

"It's pretty good, but Lao Xu felt too much pressure and couldn't learn anything. He happened to be contacted by a former headhunter, so he went to try..."

"What then?"

"Later, he didn't go to that Internet company, and then he went back to the clothing city over there in Xiaoshan. Now the salary is lower than before, and he was tossing about these emails and so on. It seems that he still wants to try."

"Oh, this old Xu..."

Old Chen and his wife were talking, but Chen Qin didn't dare to say anything, and went to brush his teeth and go to bed honestly.

The 'headhunter' who introduced the job to Lao Xu in the conversation just now... Of course it can't be someone else, it can only be him, and Chen Qin only remembered it after hearing it.

Lao Xu has been to Lin'an since May 6000st, and works in a food factory, because Lao Chen's cronies really helped out, and he did a good job in the end. His income, including the commission, was more than [-], which is not much different from when he was in the foreign trade company before.

But Old Xu is a bit half-hearted - the foreign trade company went bankrupt at the time because he had to, and the food factory did a good job, but he was going to quit.

Many people couldn't figure out the reason for this incident, and neither did Chen Qin.

After all, Lao Xu doesn't seem like a person who can't bear hardships, and he doesn't seem to be very particular about salary, but what kind of company is this "can learn"? Chen Qin has been in business for so many years, and he doesn't know what he is thinking.

But... since he wants to dance, let him dance.

Of course, Lao Chen didn't get hired - he himself was just an ordinary employee of a printing factory, and those cronies and dog friends were not as good as him.

The last time I introduced the job in the food factory to Lao Xu was just an accident, now I want to find the next one...

Then I can only find Chen Qin.

Chen Qin has a lot of ways now, but if he wants to let Lao Xu work, it is best to go to Kuaikan Media, which is more convenient in all aspects.

So when Chen Qin was recruiting technicians, he suddenly greeted him halfway, added a position with sales and foreign language expertise, and gave Lao Xu an early warning in the name of a headhunter.

When Lao Xu went, he was the only one who applied for the position, and he had already passed the test. As a result, Gu Wenjie happened to be there in person. Knowing that this position was the matchmaking position that Chen Qin wanted, he asked Lao Xu and Xu questions on the spot, and then directly rejected it—"I won't send emails. What's the use of recruiting? Go to the fresh graduates to check it out!"

It wasn't that Gu Wenjie deliberately confronted Chen Qin, it was that Chen Qin hadn't said hello to this matter at all, and later Gu Wenjie personally took care of it and recruited a freshman who had been eliminated once during an interview for another position.

It was the down-to-earth and capable Qiao Yongping. After Chen Qin taught him for a few days, he could handle server maintenance by himself.

It’s just that Lao Xu was screened out for no reason, and seemed a little depressed. Finally, he found a new class and went to work. The new working conditions were not very good. As expected, Lao Xu was not very interested. It seems that he plans to change jobs again recently...

How about going to talk to Gu Wenjie directly?
Just thinking about it, Chen Qin went back to the bedroom and closed the door.

Then he took out his mobile phone from the special interlayer of his schoolbag and took a look. There was an email, and it happened to be from Gu Wenjie.

"Brother Chen, people from Ali are coming in two days and want to have a small meeting on strategic cooperation. When are you free?"

Although it is impossible to go to the company in person, everyone thinks that Chen Qin is a product giant who works in a big factory and has a "shadow entrepreneurship" behind his back. Coupled with the recent SARS epidemic, Chen Qin and Gu Wenjie are now happily cooperating remotely.

It's just that with Ali's unblocking, now the interaction between the two parties has become more frequent.

Because of the epidemic before, everyone held meetings by voice.

Now that everyone is in a meeting, Chen Qin is a bit out of place at the conference table and using a laptop to participate, so this kind of meeting can be avoided if possible.

Chen Qin replied: "You can act on the cheap, just let me know if there is any discussion result."

Now the company's business is closely related to the platform, but Chen Qin himself is one of the two major shareholders and the developer of the platform, so he really doesn't need to look at other people's faces.

But today's incident seems a little special.

Gu Wenjie replied quickly: "I want to talk about some financing and equity issues. I think it is still very important. If you don't have time tomorrow afternoon, let's talk about it first?"

Chen Qin didn't intend to go, but Gu Wenjie insisted.

Thinking of the conversation with Qiao Yongping in the afternoon, Chen Qin had vaguely sensed something at this moment, so he said, "That's fine, then I'll come for a meal at 06:30."

"it is good."

The communication between the two was very brief. Chen Qin thought that he had to go to a meeting tomorrow, so he put the phone back.

But then, Chen Qin took it out again to look at the date...

On June 6, it has been almost two months since Kuaikan Media was established.

In the past two months, the company’s development has been satisfactory. Not only has the framework of the Kuaikan platform been established, but Gu Wenjie has also recruited a group of small and medium-sized websites and Internet cafes according to Chen Qin’s suggestion.

Outside the company, though, the broader environment is changing.

Most importantly, SARS is almost over.

What happened during this period brought great disasters to ordinary people, as well as brick-and-mortar businesses, but at the same time, the Internet industry was developing rapidly.

The major portal websites have ushered in a period of explosive traffic, and of course the advertising business has grown rapidly. Kuaikan.com has grown so fast during this period, much faster than Taobao, which Alibaba has placed high hopes on.

Kuaikan Media is different—Alibaba’s old business is B2B, and its main profit points are cross-border business and "famous online" services. It has accumulated hundreds of thousands of business customer resources. These customers are natural service targets for Kuaikan Media. Especially after Chen Qin applied the technology of "delivering advertisements based on geographic information", now Kuaikan Media has mature opportunities for physical enterprises.

This is of course one of the reasons why Chen Qin chose to partner with Ali, but facing an overly strong partner, how to correct his posture has always been a very important problem.

What's more, today's Chen Qin actually has another purpose...

In fact, as early as the beginning of choosing a partner, Chen Qin was making his own calculations.

Partnering with Gu Wenjie this time, the long-term income of making a company bigger is of course very important, but he also wants to make a wave of quick money without affecting the former.

This idea is of course difficult, the reason is that all he can provide is a piece of software and an idea.

In a normal market environment, such a thing would definitely not sell for a lot of money.

Chen Qin, as a reborn person, of course cannot tell all his secrets, so he has only one solution - on the basis of a win-win situation for both parties, he has kept his own ideas, and now is the time to settle the score...
