Rebirth: It’s Like Flowing Water

"Rebirth is like flowing years (

Facing Nan Guanghong's reluctance to stay.

"Hey!" Zeng Shengting sighed. At this point, although he didn't want to see it, he was already powerless to recover.

"Old Zeng!" Before leaving, Nan Guanghong still wanted to speak, "I'm relying on you here, don't forget our original intention!"

Suddenly remembering what Qi Lei had just said to him, it was only a matter of time before Liu kicked out the Institute of Planning and Design as a whole...

The ghost added another wisely, "Maybe... there will be opportunities to work together in the future."

After finishing speaking, facing Liu Jixiang, "I'm leaving, you will have no obstacles anymore!"

Liu Jixiang smiled and said: "Nangong, you are gone, we are still friends, old buddies."

Nan Guanghong shook his head, "No, the way is different, don't try to do anything! I'm gone, our friendship will end. In the future, I will speak ill of you."

"Ha!" Liu Jixiang laughed, "You don't understand my intentions after all!"

Nan Guanghong teased, "What do you want? What do you want to be a foundry for Lao Mei?"

Liu Jixiang said, "Nangong, I've been fighting for too long, I'm tired, and I don't want to repeat it anymore."

"However, I still want to say that people, companies, or even the country, must learn to compromise."

"We are too late, we are behind, we have to admit this, and we can't bet on the future of our imagination. We are a business, we can't afford to lose!"

"Are you a business?" Nan Guanghong's eyes grew cold, a little excited, "Liu Jixiang! Please recall, 15 years ago, why founded Imagine? Who founded Imagine!?"

"To catch up!"

"It's an imagination founded by the country, not your Liu Jixiang!!"

"Our original intention was to catch up!"

Liu Jixiang shook his head, "Stop fighting, I really don't want to fight anymore!"

"Nangong, at this moment, I can only wish you a good journey!"

"Moreover, this is not my Liu Jixiang's choice alone, but a collective choice of imagination."

"It's not easy for us to get here today, and we don't want to die on the road."

"The best result of the future of China's computer industry is imagination!"

"..."

For some reason, Nan Guanghong suddenly didn't want to speak.

This person is already dying, not to mention his original intentions, there is nothing left to say.

Moreover, Nan Guanghong suddenly changed his mind, why should I go by myself?

He said: "I want to take a few people away."

"Huh?" Whether Liu Jixiang or Zeng Shengting, they were all startled.

Take someone away? Nan Guanghong hadn't said it before.

Liu Ji became serious, "Bring who?"

Nan Guanghong named a few names, and Zeng Shengting's first reaction was, no! Those few are the backbone of the technical department.

However, Liu Jixiang was just the opposite. Before Zeng Shengting could speak, he nodded.

"For the sake of many years of partners, yes!"

Those are all Nan Guanghong's irons, and it is troublesome to stay.

Moreover, they are all software technicians, who have made some domestic systems according to Nan Guanghong's wishes, and it is not very useful to leave them behind.

At this time, with Liu Jixiang's approval, Nan Guanghong smiled, and didn't want to stay any longer, "Then... there will be some time later!"

After speaking, strode away.

Although the building of Imagination has only three floors, it is not shabby and has a low-key grandeur.

After a while, Liu Jixiang and Zeng Shengting stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the third-story office, watching Nan Guanghong walk out of the Imagination Gate.

Zeng Shengting was a bit heavy, but Liu Jixiang let out a long sigh of relief.

What Zeng Shengting didn't know was that in Liu Jixiang's grand blueprint, driving away Nan Guanghong was not the end, but just the beginning.

In the next step, he will also establish operation centers abroad, and slowly transfer the foundation of Imagination domestically to foreign countries.

As he said, the level of the domestic computer industry can no longer catch up, which makes people desperate. In an industry dominated by Western technology, it is not a wise choice to put the family in the country.

The operation center is only the first step. At the right time, he has to move his headquarters to the United States. This is the imaginative future.

As for Nan Guanghong...

The lonely figure downstairs has explained everything, it's both physique and chip, let him toss it himself!

Imagination will not cost money, and it will not offend people.

At this moment, I saw a young man in a military coat greeted him, standing in the cold wind and talking to Nan Guanghong.

"Who is that?" Zeng Shengting asked curiously. As he knew, there should not be such a person in Nan Guanghong's interpersonal relationship.

"Who knows?" Liu Jixiang said relaxedly, "Maybe... the driver of the black car? Or the odd job on the street!"

Liu Jixiang felt that Nan Guanghong should hire a small worker to help him move things.

A smile was unconsciously pulled out from the corner of his mouth, "Old Zeng, don't mind, Nan Guanghong's ambitions can't be realized by imagination, and others can't realize it. It is destined to be a dream!"

"Yeah." Although Zeng Shengting didn't like Liu Jixiang's self-satisfaction, he had to compromise.

Indeed...just a dream!

A beautiful dream that many people in the domestic computer industry are dreaming!

It's just that Nan Guanghong dreamed too long and slept too hard.

No longer interested in watching, the two were about to turn and leave the window.

But at this moment...

I saw the young man in a military coat suddenly looked up and scanned the whole picture of the Imagine Building. Finally, he turned his gaze to the chairman's office and did not move.

Liu Jixiang and Zeng Shengting couldn't help but froze slightly, and stared at the young man across the window...no! It was clearly just a teenager.

However, the look in his eyes is a bit unforgettable.

juvenile...

The eyes were very bright, seemingly sly, and smiled strangely at the two of them... Some provocative taste?

"this...."

Liu Jixiang was dazed, not knowing what he was provoking.

But it subconsciously imprinted the youth's face and those eyes in his mind.

Outside the window.

Qi Lei confronted the man across the window, and suddenly smiled and said, "Old Nan, take another look at Imagination!"

Nan Guanghong: "???"

Qi Lei was suddenly a bit fierce: "Look at how arrogant he is today, how upset he will be tomorrow!"

Nan Guanghong: "..."

Looking back subconsciously, he met Liu Jixiang's gaze.

After staring for a long time, Nan Guanghong smiled suddenly, raised the corner of his mouth, and waved upstairs.

Liu Ji, who was watching, twitched his eyes, and said to his heart, where are you in a good mood?

...

On February 25, Qi Lei returned to Harbin by plane, but Nan Guanghong did not travel with him.

Originally, Qi Lei meant to let Nan Guanghong wait for him for a while, and when Three Stones got the first profit, he would find an office location for Nan Guanghong and the team he brought out in the capital.

However, Nan Guanghong did not agree.

Because Qi Lei is full of sincerity, Nan Guanghong must also think about him. Even if the domestic system is successful, the short-term benefits will be almost zero. This is a long-term investment and a real bottomless pit.

As far as the scale of Sanshi Company is concerned, save as much as you can!

Therefore, after careful consideration, Nan Guanghong said, "I will take the team to Harbin City!"

"..."

This surprised Qi Lei. To be honest, Harbin is definitely not a good choice for the IT industry, because it is too remote.

But if you think about it carefully, come and come. Who will let him have no money now?

Putting the system R&D team and the technical department of Three Stones together can really save a lot of costs.

Moreover, although Harbin’s talent pool in this area is not as good as that of Beijing, and it does not have the economic advantages of coastal areas, it is still the same sentence, we are so many universities!

We have Harbin Institute of Technology! We have a Ha project! We still have Harbin Institute of Technology! There is really no shortage of academic atmosphere and talent pool.

In the end, the final result with Nan Guanghong was: Qi Lei came back first and found a place for the technical department to settle down, that is, the R&D center.

When preparations were made, Nan Lao led the team to move in and set up the PC-side Windows operating system R&D laboratory of Sanshi Company.

At this point, Nan Guanghong was a bit crazy at first.

"You don't even have a R&D center!? There is only one customer reception center for the entire company?"

Qi Lei, "Hey, there is no way, isn't this just the beginning? My company has only been open for a month after it has been fully budgeted."

"One, one month..." Nan Guanghong didn't know what to say.

When Qi Lei saw it, he immediately comforted, "Lao Nan, don't worry! Our sparrow is small, but we have all the internal organs. Don't look at our company plus a dozen people, but we have six departments."

Nan: Ten...a dozen people...six departments?

Qi Lei, "Although there are five high school students who are not doing business..."

Old Nan: High school student...

Qi Lei, "There are five more junior high school graduates..."

Old Nan: I'm illiterate! ! ?

Qi Lei, "However, we have a four-person R&D team, all of whom are highly talented students from the University of Technology and Harbin Engineering, as well as PhDs!"

Nan Guanghong breathed a sigh of relief.

Qi Lei, "Part-time!!!"

Huh! ! Nan Guanghong almost never lost his breath!

What company is this? Why did I promise him?

Starting to return to the beginning, and calm down, Nan Guanghong is still acceptable.

After all, the seventeen-year-old boss can say that he is dizzy, what else can't be accepted?

After that, Nan Guanghong was still thinking about Qi Lei.

Don't look at him in Imagination, you can toss about it casually. That's because Imagination is large and not bad for his small money. The main contradiction is still the problem of business philosophy.

But at Sanshi, like-minded, plus Qi Lei gave Nan Lao enough respect and "confidence" (why use quotation marks?).

There is no contradiction, but the volume of the three stones is still too small.

Such a weird company, Mr. Nan has never seen it in his life. He feels that turning over can crush the Three Stones, so he naturally has to try his best.

However, Qi Lei made it very clear that within three years, you will only spend money, we just ask. Three years later, as long as something is taken out, Sanshi will find a way to put the system on the terminal and enter the testing phase.

Then, for five years, or even forever, Sanshi has no plan to profit from the system.

Qi Lei is very sober, this is not a profitable business, and all aspects are more meaningful than making money.

"Just say, how much money do you get?"

Well, at the same time that Nan Guanghong had to admire the small size of Three Stones, "Your bravery is really...outrageous."

Qi Lei raised his eyebrows, "Right? I said earlier, don't underestimate the seventeen-year-old!"

Nan Guanghong rolled his eyes, "You can't hear a good thing, can you? I mean you are too courageous!"

Qi Lei pretended to be stupid, "That's also a boast!"

"Go ahead! How much do you always want?"

Nan Guanghong fell into deep thought, this is not the time to be polite.

You can pay attention to other things, and even he can rely on old sellers to abduct people from Imagination to Harbin, but he can't save money.

After pondering for a while, "I want to operate independently and have the right to recruit independently."

Qi Lei spread his hands, "No problem!"

Nan Guanghong, "You can save money in terms of working environment, but you can't save money in terms of research and development funds."

Qi Lei gritted his teeth, "It's okay! Just tell me how much, right?"

Qi Lei recognized it, it was originally a gamble.

When Nan Guanghong heard this, he took a deep breath and reported an astronomical number: "...3 million a year!"

Qi Lei: "..." I didn't speak for a long time, "How much?"

When Nan Guanghong heard this, he thought he could not afford such a large amount of expenditure, for fear that Qi Lei would retreat, "Two million is fine! But it can't be less!"

This is the last stubbornness of Old Nan.

Then he explained to Qi Lei, "In fact, system research and development does not require any equipment costs, and the main thing is to employ people!"

"Tens of millions of lines of code can't be completed by one person or two in a short period of time. If we want speed to seize the opportunity, we must use more people!"

Continued: "In terms of employing people, although I can recruit some people from universities in Harbin, I still have to recruit talent from Beijing. Some talents are not available in Harbin, mainly because the cost of these people is much higher."

I am a little embarrassed, "I don't know, I want programmers from the capital to come to Harbin, and the salary can't be low."

"At least an annual salary of 40,000 can be recruited. Individual 50,000 may not be willing to come."

"A team of more than 50 people...remove the local Harbin..."

"Wait a moment!" Qi Lei interrupted suddenly, unable to listen anymore.

With a face of constipation, "Forty thousand programmers? Fifty thousand... or is it so unique?"

Nan Guanghong, "What's the matter? Although the annual salary is a little higher in Harbin, it is impossible to do it!"

Qi Lei: "..."

"This way!" Nan Guanghong really thought Qi Lei wanted too much, "I can reduce the team size, 2 million! 2 million is enough!"

"Huh!!" Qi Lei sighed and said to his heart, but I think too much?

He said: "Then there is no year-end bonus, project salary or something?"

Old Nan hurriedly shook his hand, "No, no...Don't get those bells and whistles."

Qi Lei: "..."

"Let's do it, I will give you 5 million a year! For forty thousand you come first, and for fifty thousand you can recruit as much as you want. I will add it to you if you don't have enough!"

Nan Guanghong: "..."

I'm a little scared, open an Internet cafe...Is this rich?

As everyone knows, Qi Lei is still confused!

Frightened me, only three million? Can a system be developed in three years without even using ten million?

It doesn't seem to be stressful.

You know, for the 132 orders of Three Stones only a few years ago, the equipment is not worth the money!

The market priced 6,500 models, and finally 4,980 were sold. Although the graphics card and some simple configuration factors have been deducted, three stones get 30%, which is more than 4 million.

Is there a server?

The server earns more.

In short, just this item is enough to support system development.

He thought he would go bankrupt!

...

———————————————————

Back in Harbin, the first thing Qi Lei did was to gather everyone together for a meeting.

Originally there was nothing to do with Uncle Geng, but the old man didn't care that his internet cafe had already been renovated, so he had to come and listen.

And Qi Lei probably said that Sanshi will set up a PC computer system research and development laboratory, led by Nan Guanghong.

Everyone who listens, look at me, I look at you.

Is this speed a bit faster?

The Internet cafe hasn't been opened yet, how can a laboratory come out?

But Wen Qilei said: "This laboratory, you don't have to hope too much, don't care too much, just treat it as if it doesn't exist."

"Maybe you will lose money, everyone has a mental preparation."

"..."

"..."

No one said anything, but they listened to Qi Lei.

The second thing is to ask Qi Guodong and Zhou Tao to start looking for a new location for the company as soon as possible after the bidding meeting.

The requirement is that there is no need for a prosperous location, and it does not matter if it is a little remote.

But it must be big enough and convenient for transportation.

It is best to put the R&D center, operations, and warehousing together, and a yard is even more perfect.

Qi Lei didn't find any office buildings, he didn't say anything about the old and expensive, and the thieves were aggrieved, so he didn't go to catch up with that fashion!

In this era, real estate has not yet developed, even in the city center, you can find a spacious place with dim sum.

It really doesn't work, what a big deal to put it in the suburbs!

When Zhou Tao heard this, she said, "Is this kind of place too easy to find?"

"Huh?" Qi Lei thought it was a bit difficult, "Do you know there is a good place?"

I only heard Zhou Tao said: "Is the old house okay? If it works, there will be more!"

Qi Lei, "How old is it?"

Zhou Tao, "Before Liberation."

Qi Lei's eyes lit up, "That can be studied!"

Don't think that the old house, even the old house before liberation, is not so good.

The old houses in Harbin are weird. If you are the kind of old houses that are 30 to 40 years old after the liberation, then you don't think about it, and it's basically useless.

The structure is old, and they are all collective buildings such as tube buildings, which are not suitable for company offices.

But before the liberation, it's a different story, and it can really be studied.

This starts from the history of Harbin.

Harbin City was a trade and cultural center for exchanges between the Far East and Europe a hundred years ago.

After the October Revolution in Russia, a large number of Tsarist nobles fled to the northeast and settled in Kazakhstan.

At that time, the white people all over the street and the beggar on the street could be the Tsarist princess.

With the entry of these whites, European culture was also brought into Kazakhstan, affecting all aspects of the city.

For example, the red sausage and big liba, which are specialty products of Harbin, actually come from the West.

The influence on architectural style is more profound.

The city of Harbin in the old times can be called the ‘Baroque’ architectural art museum, and it is also known as the Little Paris of the East.

Even after the liberation, most of the architectural styles of the old city of Harbin still followed the overall characteristics of the old era.

Different from the ancient Chinese style in the southern ancient towns and water towns, in the 1980s and 1990s, when you were in the streets of the old city of Harbin, you can see the delicate lines of the old Europe, which is quite romantic.

For example, the Sophia Church, as well as the buildings of the old era, are remarkable in terms of aesthetics and comfort.

If you can find an old baroque building as an office location, it would be a good choice.

The old house mentioned by Zhou Tao falls into this category.

The location she recommended was on Songhuajiang Street. It was originally the consulate mansion of Italy during the Puppet Manchukuo period. After liberation, it belonged to the Longjiang Radio and Television Hall. Later, it served as a guest house and training center for a long time.

Then, it was abandoned after being in disrepair for a long time, and it has been left unused until now.

"That place is good, an old house in the front yard, next to Songhuajiang Street. There is also a three-story villa in the back yard, and the supporting buildings of the original guest house and training center."

"The main structure is okay, but it's a bit old inside and outside, so I need to get it done again."

Qi Lei heard, "Yes! How much is the rent?"

Rent is also an important consideration. After all, Sanshi has raised such a big "cumbersome", so you can save it, and it won't work if it is too expensive.

As a result, Zhou Tao came to say, "Just sell, not rent!"

Huh! Qi Lei cursed secretly, "Forget it, we can't sell it!"

In such a big place, Songhuajiang Street is not a remote section, I really can't afford it!

But she didn't want to, Zhou Tao pouted and teased: "I can't afford hundreds of thousands of things?"

"How much!?" Qi Lei almost didn't jump up.

really? It's a bit too cheap.

Zhou Tao smiled, "Don't you understand? Hundreds of thousands can't be sold yet!"

In fact, Qi Lei really doesn't know much about the real estate market of this era, especially the old buildings in Harbin.

First, in 1999, the real estate market in Harbin hadn't risen yet, and house prices were already cheap.

Second, Harbin is considered to be a city that protected ancient buildings with cultural relic value relatively early, and the current plan for the protection of ancient buildings was introduced very early.

Like this old-time diplomatic mansion, both the historical significance and the building itself have protective value.

However, the protection measures of this era are not as strict as later generations ~ www.readwn.com ~ allows commercial and residential buildings, but the appearance and main structure cannot be changed.

In other words, this place can be cleaned up and built as a company after buying it, but it cannot be demolished and rebuilt, let alone change its appearance.

People of this age don't have a cold on old buildings. They can't be demolished or built after spending so much money. I'm sick!

People in this era still like new houses.

The Radio and Television Hall has been left there for this reason. Can't be demolished, can't be built, and renovation is not cost-effective.

For various reasons, this kind of old house is not cared for, and the price is cheap.

"Bought it!" Qi Lei waved a big hand, rich in wealth.

Xin said, otherwise I can't do anything, I'll just vacate my house!

Hundreds of thousands...Buy several buildings! For future generations, let alone the capital, hundreds of thousands will get a one-bedroom apartment in the city center of Harbin, right?

Except for these two things, Qi Lei needs to worry about it.

After the meeting, Uncle Geng approached him, and said, "You really didn't think about how to make a profit?"

Qi Lei was stunned, "What profit?" He didn't understand.

Uncle Geng, "Then Nan Guanghong, what else...what laboratory for system research and development, how do you plan to get back to this?"

"Oh," Qi Lei understood, it turned out to be this, "No! Pay for it first."

When Uncle Geng heard this, he immediately curled his lips and was speechless, "What is it to lose? You can't lose money if you don't make money, then it's not a business!"

Qi Lei spread his hands, "But for now, this is a loss-making business."

Old Gengda shook his head, "Forget it, how about I give you a trick?"

"You?" Qi Lei didn't believe it.

This is a bit nonsense, right? I don't even understand, you understand?
