Global monopoly of technology

The news of Shanda's listing in the United States was screened in the industry news in mid-May. Luo Sheng was inexplicably relieved. The eyes of the industry and the media finally shifted, and he secretly thanked Mr. Chen.

The company was stared at by the media all day, as if being illuminated by countless magnifying glasses, which made Luo Sheng very uncomfortable and helpless.

There are more and more media who want to interview him and do programs, but without exception, they have resigned. This year is a key node. The Blue Coast company was established this year. For Luo Sheng, time is very tight. Xin Si ran out to brag about it.

After mid-May, his work focused again on the Blue Coast Company. During this busy period, the main business of Bluestar Technology has basically been finalized. The following things can be developed according to the established arrangement. Bluestar Technology is in There are only two important products left in the second half of this year, one is [Yunge Knows], the other is [BluestarVideo], mainly the latter project.

...

Mid to late May.

"The acquisition of Reed Communication has been completed and the integration was completed last week. It cost a total of 221 million yuan for a wholly-owned acquisition. In addition, the Blue Coast Company has taken a piece of land on Yangchenghu Avenue and has been approved for 50 million. "

Qin Weimu came to Luo Sheng's office to report the related work of the Blue Coast Company.

With the rapid development of Bluestar Technology, the company has become a technology company that Sioux City is currently focusing on. Leaders have already visited twice this year and asked about any difficulties.

As a prefecture-level city, it is really rare to have such a top Internet technology company in the country. According to the current development momentum, it is implicitly to become one of the leading Internet companies in the national Internet industry.

Luo Sheng set up a new technology company this year. The Blue Coast company has attracted great attention from Sioux City once it was established.

The company's registered capital has reached a huge amount of 2.6 billion, and it won't work if you don't pay attention to it.

Sioux City was happy, but the next door neighbor, Shencheng, was depressed. Once the company landed, it became a key support high-tech enterprise unit in Sioux City, and gave many preferential policies, such as land transfer and tax exemption for three years.

What Luo Sheng values ​​most is the preferential policy for land transfer. As for the tax exemption policy, even if this tax is not exempt, the Blue Coast Company has not paid any tax in the past three years, because at the beginning of the three years, it has been constantly piling money into it.

It can only be said that the leader is still strong...

Even if Bluestar Technology pays a little business tax now, it is still through the income of the hao123 navigation website. As for other products, they are operating at a loss, relying on VC investment to support the company's operations.

However, the hao123 website is now quite eye-catching. Now it can create more than 10 million turnover in a month, and it can earn about 150 million yuan in a year, but the money earned is basically used for burning money, but it is also a company festival. After spending a lot of money, at least hao123 can basically be self-sufficient. Now the industry realizes the importance of navigation websites, and search engines cannot afford to be a navigation website.

The acquisition of the land by the Blue Coast Company is next door to the land acquired by Bluestar Technology, that is, to the southeast of Tiandujiao Village, separated by a river in the middle, and the area is one-fifth larger than Tiandujiao. .

However, as a high-tech company, even if it becomes profitable in the future, there will be tax reduction and exemption policies. This is the country's strategy to support the development of high-tech industries.

Luo Sheng took so much land for long-term planning, not for certain companies under the name of a technology company, to get a license to enjoy tax relief, and behind the scenes to engage in real estate reselling business.

The purpose of getting these land is to develop on this land, not some people take the land indefinitely to delay the construction period, slow construction, in fact, wait for the land to be premium, and sell it when it is almost the same, earning several times or even ten times Benefit.

"What is the approximate ratio of human resources after the company's integration?" Luo Sheng asked while looking at the documents she sent.

"After the Blue Coast Company completed the acquisition of Reed Communication, the company currently has 1,259 employees, of which 1,133 are technical research and development personnel, accounting for about 90%." Qin Weimu responded quickly.

The biggest purpose of the acquisition of Reed Communications is to recruit a relatively complete technology research and development team at one time. This is Luo Sheng's core acquisition starting point.

At this time, Qin Weimu added: "By the way, I have rented the five office buildings next to it as the temporary headquarters of the Blue Coast Company."

Luo Sheng is the founder and head of the two companies. However, the affairs of this company should be handled by Bluestar Technology, and the affairs of the Blue Coast company should be handled in the office over there.

Otherwise, it will fall into management chaos, and at the same time, it is to avoid occupying the resources of Bluestar Technology and causing investor dissatisfaction.

Anyway, they will be next to each other, and the independent headquarters of the two companies will be next to each other in the future.

After simply reading the material, Luo Sheng closed the document and looked up at Qin Weimu and said, "Where are the employees of the Blue Coast Company? I said the day before yesterday, let all the technicians come to Suzhou City, have they all arrived?"

Qin Weimu said: "Everything will be there tomorrow, and we will now arrange to check in at the hotel, and the company will reimburse the expenses."

The original Lead Communication is in Shencheng. There are several laboratories and some equipment. They are not the best in the world, but they can be used. Luo Sheng does not plan to move all of them. There is no place for resettlement. After the land is built, the construction of the experimental base and the introduction of related equipment must be stepped up, but it takes time.

As for the headquarters building, it is definitely not a problem to consider now. Regardless of whether the company has several billions, in fact, without spending, Luo Sheng spends hundreds of millions or even more than a billion during this period, but the money that should not be spent is Luo Sheng. Sheng will never mess with flowers, temporarily renting a commercial office building first.

"Well, let's do it, you arrange a large conference room in a hotel, inform these more than 1,000 engineers, I will meet with them the day after tomorrow, and prepare a confidentiality agreement, everyone who enters the venue must sign it." Luo Sheng thought Said after thinking about it.

More than a thousand people confidentiality agreement?

Qin Weimu said: "Are you sure this is not a joke? The risk of leaking the secrets of a thousand people's confidentiality agreement theoretically exceeds 70% or even higher."

Luo Sheng smiled and said: "Of course I know this, because what I want to tell them does not need to be too confidential, but I still signed this confidentiality agreement to remind them of the importance of this job."

That's it.

Qin Weimu didn't have any doubts, and immediately nodded gently: "Okay, then I'll take care of it."

More than 1,000 confidentiality agreements will be finalized tomorrow. Time is still in a hurry. Luo Sheng didn’t say anything more specifically. Qin Weimu is a top professional legal professional. She knows more about confidentiality agreements than Luo Sheng. To draw up.

...

Two days passed in a flash. Under Qin Weimu’s arrangement, a five-star hotel in Xiangcheng District was chosen as the meeting place. 1,133 engineers from the Blue Coast Company received the notice yesterday and signed a copy that day. 1107 people signed the confidentiality agreement, but the rest did not.

Luo Sheng fired them directly without much hesitation. He was merciful and refused to take the lead. This made the 26 people who refused the visa very confused, and they were fired inexplicably.

These people who were opened are all technical staff of the original Reed Communication, and the people who transferred from Bluestar Technology did not hesitate to sign. Most of them are core backbones, including early entrepreneurial team members Bai Lang, Lu Siming was also transferred to the Blue Coast Company by him.

The 26 people who were expelled don’t have to worry about finding a job. It’s a big deal to return to their old club DXN Wireless. Practitioners in the IT industry are still very popular, but they actually regret it because the Blue Coast Company is acquiring Lead Communication. After that, the salary increase was announced to all employees on the same day.

Reed Communication’s hat was taken off, and the company’s hat was put on, and the salary immediately doubled. Who wouldn’t want to work with a generous boss?

Around 10:30 in the morning, 1107 employees were all there, all gathered in the hotel’s multimedia lobby meeting room, waiting for the legendary boss to show up. Everyone was curious, because from signing the non-disclosure agreement, you can predict today’s The meeting will be unusual.

For the next plan, Luo Sheng attaches great importance to the confidentiality work, even harsh, even if a staff meeting is held, only to tell them what the company will do next, without any technical details, still have to sign A confidentiality agreement.

As for entering the formal development sequence, each person only knows what he is responsible for, and no information about other sections, and even some sections cannot tell the development team what to do.
