Xiaomi Heavy Industry, its first entrepreneurial venture!

Chapter 341 Help Me Recruit Someone! (Second Update!)
After signing the agreement, Ke Yonghuai was in high spirits. He put the relevant documents into his bag and clapped his hands, saying, "President Lin, I heard that you have some good dishes in Suzhou."

"I wonder if I'll have that luck today?"

Famous dishes of Suzhou?
Do I have that kind of luck?
Lin Yi put the agreement away and turned his gaze slightly to Ke Yonghuai and the others.

A slight smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she quickly nodded.

"Easy to say, easy to say!"

Half an hour later, at Taihu Tower.

Seeing that Lin Yi had brought a guest he had never met before, and that this guest was clearly of high status and power, the owner of Taihu Restaurant quickly came forward to greet him.

Before he could speak, Lin Yi stopped him and pulled him aside:
"Are there any fish today?"

The boss immediately understood and nodded repeatedly:

"Mr. Lin, I made a special trip to Qiandao Lake in Yue Province a couple of days ago and ordered a batch of cold-water carp there."

"I just arrived yesterday, and I guarantee I can make your favorite West Lake Fish in Vinegar Sauce!"

With the assurance from the owner of Taihu Restaurant, Lin Yi's eyes narrowed into slits with a smile, and he nodded repeatedly: "Then let's have one!"

"As for the other dishes, these guests are all from Lin'an. There's not much food there, so just bring whatever you think is best."

The boss made an "OK" gesture and quickly disappeared into the restaurant lobby.

Led by the waiter, the group found a private room overlooking the lake.

Not long after I sat down, a light drizzle began to fall outside the window. The rain, a welcome relief after the heat, created a fluctuating temperature, and a gentle breeze swept across the lake.

A gentle breeze stirred up fine waves, reflecting the starlight and creating a breathtaking scene.

Ke Yonghuai couldn't help but push open the window, point at Taihu Lake, and laugh:

"I thought of Wuxing. They live by Taihu Lake, but it's a great pity that they didn't even get close to the edge of Taihu Lake."

"Even so, they're still not convinced and want to fight Lin'an."

"It's really overestimating one's abilities!"

Lin Yi didn't respond to his words. Instead, he picked up the tea that the hotel had brought and, while drinking the tea, thought about what excuse he should use to run away later.

Taihu Restaurant was quick; in less than 40 minutes, more than a dozen dishes were prepared and pushed into a private room by the waiter.

The dishes were all covered, and the waiters carefully served each dish before uncovering it one by one.

Finally, there's West Lake Fish in Vinegar Sauce.

Under the expectant gaze of everyone, the waiter lifted the lid.

Under the lid was a fish with an unusual design, but it wasn't the West Lake Vinegar Fish that Lin Yi often saw. Instead, it was a fish coated in starch and deep-fried.

The fish was drizzled with vinegar sauce, and a small dish of tomato sauce and sweet and sour sauce were placed next to the plate.

Lifting the lid, the waiter smiled at Lin Yi: "Mr. Lin, this is our improved version of West Lake Fish in Vinegar Sauce!"

Please have a taste!

Lin Yi returned a polite smile, and the waiter nodded, smiled, and turned to leave.

With the only outsider gone, the private room was filled with a deathly silence.

After a long silence, Ke Yonghuai opened his mouth weakly and asked the question feebly:
"So, the West Lake Fish in Vinegar Sauce that you brought others to eat, is this West Lake Fish in Vinegar Sauce?"

"Hmm!" Lin Yi widened his eyes, put on an innocent expression, and nodded innocently.

The next second, Ke Yonghuai let out a strange laugh, a sound like a duck quacking.

It's like he's gone mad.

After a few seconds of frenzy, he suddenly stood up and pointed at the fish on the table:

"Your West Lake Fish in Vinegar Sauce isn't authentic!"

"Authentic fish should be steamed!"

"Absolutely never fry it!"

"No, the food you brought wasn't authentic, but the food I brought was authentic."

"what--"

Lin Yi remained silent, leaving Ke Yonghuai with endless speculation.

After regretting it for a few minutes, Ke Yonghuai sat down listlessly, picked up his chopsticks, and began to taste this inauthentic West Lake Vinegar Fish.

After the meal, the two sides said goodbye at the entrance of Taihu Tower.

Only after Lin Yi was no longer visible in the rearview mirror did Duan Feng, who was driving, ask Ke Yonghuai, "Secretary Ke, Xiaomi Heavy Industry's technology should all be in the industrial sector."

Why should we team up with them to develop software?

Ke Yonghuai did not answer, but turned to Zheng Yanming and Huo Chen beside him, "You two are from the Science and Technology Bureau, say a few words."

Upon receiving the question, Zheng Yanming immediately turned to Huo Chen: "Xiao Huo, you graduated from Wudaokou and are a top student in your field."

"Besides, you and Mr. Lin are about the same age, so you should have common topics to talk about. Why don't you come and chat?"

Having been called out twice in a row, Huo Chen, sitting in the passenger seat, wanted to roll his eyes, but he couldn't, since there were two people staring at him.

He cleared his throat and said calmly, "Xiaomi Heavy Industry's software capabilities are very strong!"

"It's just that their industrial strength overshadows their software strength, leading most people to subconsciously believe that their software strength is weak."

"The most direct proof is what the news broadcast mentioned: the 27 satellites they launched this time were designed, manufactured under their supervision, and matched by themselves."

"Moreover, our General Manager Lin has a very discerning eye."

"Secretary Ke only said a few words, and the other party was able to draw inferences from them and clarify the relevant directions."

“Even if he doesn’t have the skills, he can still sit in charge and find someone with the skills to solve his problems.”

"Is that so, Secretary Ke?"

After explaining, Huo Chen then turned the topic to Ke Yonghuai.

When the topic was thrown back to him, Ke Yonghuai nodded repeatedly: "Yes!"

"That's it!"

"So, Duan, you can't judge a book by its cover, and besides, you were a bit impulsive."

You need to change your temperament!

"Even if you have to act impulsively, you have to consider the occasion and the consequences of your impulsiveness. Can you bear those consequences? If not, then don't act impulsively."

Duan Feng looked ahead and, finding no vehicles in front or behind and the road conditions clear, slightly turned his head and nodded to Ke Yonghuai and the other man behind him.

"understand!"

Turning back to look straight ahead, he posed a new question:
"Boss, regarding the communications network construction that General Manager Lin mentioned..."

"It could be very troublesome."

“For operators, a full rollout would tie up a large portion of their funds, so they expect it to be delayed.”

"It's nothing!" Ke Yonghua replied calmly, then took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, offered one to each of them, and lit one for himself.
"If they don't listen, just report it to the province and ask them to replace them. It's not that complicated."

"Don't get distracted while driving..."

Meanwhile, Lin Yi also returned to Xiaomi Heavy Industries.

After tidying up his work, he took out his phone, found Lei Jun's number, and dialed it without hesitation.

As soon as the call connected, the sound of mahjong tiles clashing came through.

Lei Jun's voice also came along with the sound of mahjong tiles clattering:

"Is there something you need, Mr. Lin?"

"You just got back to Yanjing and you're already playing mahjong?"

"I'm still resting today, the last day, just a few more crazy hours. After playing mahjong, I'll go to sleep. Tomorrow I'll be working overtime like crazy. Is there anything I can help you with?" "I've started a new project."

"Looking to attract investment?"

"No, this project is a collaboration between me and Lin'an. They allocated more than 3000 mu of land, some tax incentives, and 600 million yuan in cash."

After those words were spoken, the other end of the phone fell completely silent. The clattering of mahjong tiles disappeared, leaving only heavy breathing.

After a long silence, Lei Jun's trembling voice came through: "What...what did you do? You took 3000 mu of land, what are you planning to do?"

"Are you planning to enter the automotive industry, as the outside world has speculated?"

"No!" Lin Yi replied calmly, directly explaining the purpose of the call:

"I'd like to ask you to help me poach someone."

"Who?"

“Zhang Yiming from 99.com mainly works in the electronics and internet industry in Lin'an. I don’t have any relevant candidates, but I’ve heard from others that Zhang Yiming is quite good. I would like to ask you to help me recruit him.”

Having also started a business in Beijing and made investments, Lei Jun naturally knew about some of the other candidates.

Lei Jun had met Zhang Yiming before, and he was also familiar with the core mechanism of 99.com, which Zhang Yiming had founded.

The main purpose of this website is to use a natural web crawler system to capture price information from multiple real estate platforms such as 58.com and Lianjia in real time.

Then, using its own algorithm, it recommends the most suitable housing information for customers based on their needs.

This is a blank market, a market with demand, but not a large one.

Ultimately, this website is using a web crawler to scrape information from other platforms, and those platforms, for their own benefit, will inevitably try to block the web crawler.

He even suggested that he support a company to compete against his rival.

He just couldn't understand why Lin Yi chose this person.

However, since Lin Yi thinks this person is suitable, he can go and make contact with him to see if the other party is willing.

He took a deep breath and spoke into the phone to Lin Yi:

"Give me a rough idea of ​​the terms, and I'll try to go see him when I have some free time in the next day or two."

“I’ve also looked at his current startup project. It has potential, but not much potential.”

"If there were a better platform, he would have chosen the better one."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yi on the other end of the phone immediately said "okay".

The two chatted for a few more minutes before Lei Jun hung up the phone.

He stuffed the phone into his pocket and turned to look at the people around the mahjong table.

Before receiving this call, he was happily playing mahjong.

But after receiving this call, he completely lost interest in playing mahjong.

After pondering for a long time with his head down, he looked up at Lin Bin and asked, "Is there a problem with our business idea?"

Why do I feel... why does Lin Yi seem to succeed at everything so easily?

"By now, he must have acquired at least five or six thousand acres of land from several local governments, right?"

"Why can't we get that kind of support?"

Hearing his confused words, Lin Bin naturally picked up a mahjong tile, then casually tossed it back onto the table:
"You should know that everyone has different circumstances."

"You see Lin Yi's success as simple, but you also see that he has a lot of support."

But what's the reality?

"That satellite system alone is a mountain that many people can only dream of but never reach."

"Even mountains that many countries cannot cross."

"Of course, it's also possible that someone behind him is pushing things along."

"No matter the situation, he is very strong, so strong that it inspires despair, which is why he has so much support."

"We are not strong enough, or rather, we are not good enough to be noticed."

“If we are strong enough, plenty of people will come to us seeking cooperation.”

"So, let's finish this round first!"

Lin Bin's words evoked many emotions in Lei Jun, but the last sentence made him feel as if he had swallowed a fly.

He looked up, glanced sideways, and asked, "You still have the mood to play mahjong!"

He had just finished speaking when the person next to him casually tossed out an eight of bamboo. Upon seeing this eight of bamboo, Lin Bin immediately changed his hand: "I have a pure suit of pairs, how can I not be in the mood?"

"Pay up, hurry up!"

Seeing that everyone else had the same suit of tiles, Lei Jun reluctantly took out his money, saying as he did so:
"We still need to revise the design of our phone that hasn't been released yet, and add all these features..."

"Add, add, add! Pay up quickly!" Lin Bin nodded repeatedly, collecting the money as he did so.

…………

While Lin Bin was busy collecting money, in Brussels, Belgium, at the Bellemont Building.

People at the European Commission are also arguing about money.

On July 11, just before the World Cup, China launched satellites, and it was a three-rocket launch that sent a total of 27 satellites into orbit.

The whole world knows it.

But while most countries and people know about it, they don't take it to heart.

Because it is not necessary.

The satellite's launch won't affect my work, nor will it bring me any profit.

It's better to watch the World Cup; at least betting on the World Cup can bring you decent profits.

Even in Europe, many organizations have launched betting operations based on this once-in-a-lifetime event.

They're betting on whether the launch will be successful.

After a successful launch, how many satellites can be connected to the network?

The remaining few who care mainly include Japan, South Korea, America, the European Union, and Russia.

Japan, South Korea, and Russia are afraid that their neighbors will succeed.

After all, while one's own failure is certainly distressing, the neighbor's success is even more of a headache.

America and the EU are people who pay attention to them, but completely disregard them.

America has her own GPS navigation system, so she knows very well how complicated the work is. This kind of thing can't be done overnight, and it can't just suddenly appear.

It can only be improved through long-term research and gradual refinement.

China's sudden move, according to their usual practice, is definitely to cover up something deeper.

As the guardian of this world order, America has the responsibility, the obligation, and the necessity to unravel the mystery and find the root of the problem.

As for the EU, its understanding of the relevant navigation system is even deeper than America's, because to this day, the Galileo system, which the EU spearheaded, is still just a roadside obfuscation.

It belongs to an overlapping state where it can be used but cannot be used.

They were very afraid that this time China was really going to take action, that it had actually developed its own navigation system and launched it into space.

If that's the case, it would make them seem incredibly incompetent, like nothing more than a nobody on the street.

More importantly, they want to pull China back into the Galileo system and get them to spend money again.

After all, this thing is really expensive!
