Chapter 65: The big liar has withdrawn his magical powers
"A Guang, Party A will be here soon, are you okay?"
Early in the morning, in a software development company in Shanghai, a bald man yawned and finished the last work at hand.
This is an order I received a month ago, to copy a website.
It was originally quite easy, but unfortunately the client had high requirements and insisted on adding a bunch of additional functions.
This made the situation even worse for the team, which was already small in number.
The man in the hat who was in charge of the final test had a pair of panda eyes. "We have completed everything he asked for. We have been testing it for a week. It is much better than the one that was delivered urgently."
The bald man was relieved. "That's good. As long as the customer is satisfied, maybe they will give us the maintenance in the future. That will be a lot of money. It's just right to pay for the rent and broadband owed."
As I was talking, the phone rang. I answered it and Party A was already downstairs...
"After the company website is built, you should focus on software engineers and strengthen recruitment in this area."
While waiting for the elevator, Li Zehua and Gu Shijie chatted, "Especially talents in website architecture, maintenance and data analysis;
The volume of orders is so huge now that we can’t handle phone orders at all. We can only rely on the Internet to solve this problem in the future.”
Gu Shijie was not very familiar with the Internet and only had a basic understanding of it. He was a little hesitant and said, "I don't know much about this aspect, so it may take some time."
Now is the golden age of Internet development and the market demand is huge.
However, compared with high-quality talents with management experience, excellent IT practitioners are more difficult to recruit, and they value future prospects more.
"As long as people are willing to come and have the skills, money is not a problem."
Li Zehua was mentally prepared for this. After all, the delivery industry does not seem to have Internet genes.
I didn't think too much about it. I happened to be quite satisfied with the surrounding environment. "The two-story building over there can't keep up with the development needs. What do you think of the industrial park over here?
If possible, consider building a new headquarters here, the small building is too small. "
Plans cannot keep up with changes, and he did not expect that the takeout industry could grow wildly in its early days using such exaggerated means.
With a loss of only a few hundred thousand a month, they can actually dominate the campus market in Shanghai. How?
This was an achievement that could not be achieved even if you spent hundreds of millions of dollars during the food delivery war.
It's so happy!
After going upstairs, the bald man was waiting at the elevator entrance. "Is this Mr. Li? I'm Feng Mingcheng. The website is ready."
As expected of an IT worker.
Li Zehua smiled and said a few polite words, then called the two software engineers behind him to follow him in.
He doesn't understand technology, but he knows how to spend money and spend it wisely.
Those who work in technology are very direct. A group of people gather in front of the computer to review the website and argue from time to time.
Li Zehua listened carefully, calculated silently in his mind, and took the opportunity to look around.
There are not many people in this company, including Feng Mingcheng, the leader, there are six people in total, all of them are programmers, and their skills are pretty good.
However, the area they occupy is not small. An entire floor of five or six hundred square meters belongs to them, and it seems very spacious.
"Mr. Li, are you looking into the later website maintenance?"
Feng Mingcheng came up to me at some point, looking a little embarrassed.
I thought, isn’t the other party a startup?
He is so arrogant that he spent thousands of dollars to hire professionals to inspect the products. How can he continue to deceive people?
Li Zehua smiled and said, "Isn't the money earned from developing software enough?"
Feng Mingcheng was anxious. "We are professionals. Those two people don't understand anything at all. Besides, our price is not that high."
Li Zehua understood, and combined with the information provided by the previous introducer, he felt confident.
His tone became increasingly aggressive. “Our contract is limited to website development. Everything that follows doesn’t seem to have much to do with you.”
Feng Mingcheng was stunned, his face flushed, and after a long while he said vaguely, "No, what I mean is, you see, development and maintenance are one and the same...
Otherwise, how about we charge less?" Waiting for the rice to cook!
Feng Mingcheng was very anxious.
I was confused at the beginning and went out to work on my own. As a result, I was deceived into renting such a large place and emptied my savings to buy a lot of equipment.
I was so happy that I thought I was about to make a fortune.
As a result, he is worse off than a beggar.
When it comes to technology, their team is definitely capable.
But I have no connections and no experience, so I can only help others. Actually, this order is the largest order the team has ever received.
Li Zehua pursed his lips. It was really no sense of accomplishment to bully a defenseless opponent. He immediately said,
"As you can see, I am very rich. I would rather trust a more professional team in this regard. You guys are making me feel uneasy."
Feng Mingcheng was about to cry, "But we are cheap!"
"Cheap goods are not good!"
Li Zehua shook his head. "As long as there is no problem with the website development, I will arrange for someone to transfer the balance to you. That's it."
Feng Mingcheng had no choice, he was also very desperate!
During this time, a companion came up to him and asked him in a low voice, and after the conversation, he left with a disappointed look on his face.
Don't expect a group of programmers to have any good sales skills.
I can only watch the acceptance progress, moving forward bit by bit until it is about to be completed.
The sense of loss on Feng Mingcheng's face became more and more intense.
Li Zehua took in everything. He stretched out his hand to call Gu Shijie over and whispered something in his ear. The latter looked at him helplessly.
He looked at Feng Mingcheng with sympathy again, nodded slightly, and slipped out when no one was paying attention.
After a while, Li Zehua's cell phone rang. He pretended to cover it, but Feng Mingcheng could still barely hear it.
The sound was intermittent and unclear, but it attracted Feng Mingcheng to move closer unconsciously.
Such as the professional maintenance team is too expensive, and they plan to acquire a reliable software company.
After he hung up the phone and said hello to the two engineers and was about to leave, Feng Mingcheng could no longer bear it.
"Mr. Li, our company is pretty good! So, acquisitions are not impossible."
"??"
Li Zehua had a puzzled look on his face. Seeing him staring eagerly, he asked, "Do you know how big my company is?
Nine hundred people in total. The marketing budget for this year alone is more than 10 million. I have plenty of money, so if I want to buy something, I’ll buy something better.”
He also said things like the future prospects are promising, there is huge demand for the Internet, and he is willing to pay high salaries to hire real talents.
Everyone present was stunned by what he heard, and Feng Mingcheng wanted to rush over and cry bitterly.
If he had met such a generous boss earlier, he would not have ended up in his current miserable state.
Li Zehua then said, "Besides, the company is also planning to set up more than 10% of option rewards, specifically to reward high-quality talents..."
Feng Mingcheng couldn't help it, "Boss Li, please buy us out. I can't hold on any longer. How can you take us all in?"
Don’t blame him for surrendering too quickly. It’s just that the other party gave too much before and the pie they painted now is too tempting.
Gu Shijie didn't know when he came in, but the way he looked at Li Zehua was very strange.
If I didn't know the details, I would have thought Li Zehua was a gold medal lecturer of some direct sales company.
It’s so deceptive!
Catch up on Tuesday and decide on recommendations for next week.
It's really hard not to recommend.
