Chapter 150 Is There Any Support?
In the northern suburbs of Los Angeles, the Phoenix Mountain Valley IT Technology Park is a place created by Los Angeles imitating the South Silicon Valley of San Francisco and gathering network technology companies in the Los Angeles area.
Here, thousands of Internet technology companies, large and small, are gathered. These companies operate a wide range of businesses, and they can be said to be the general public. Lianse? There are love sites.
[Network Communication] created by Jin Xiantai is located in this science and technology park.
Drive north along the Los Angeles Central Expressway, about an hour and a half drive from Santa Monica Beach to Phoenix Mountain.
After finishing his fried chicken experiment in the morning, Kim Hyun-tae took his daughter out and came to the Internet company in Phoenix Mountain.
[Network Communication] The company's headquarters is located in the center of Phoenix Mountain Science and Technology Park, covering an area of about 120 acres. The building of the headquarters building has a sense of modernity, and it has all kinds of functions such as entertainment, leisure, work and catering.
Originally [Network Communications] didn't work here, but after Kim Hyun-tae got the box office revenue of "Up", he immediately started to spend 300 million US dollars to buy this place, and used it as the office headquarters of [Network Communications].
Compared with the previous company location, this place is obviously much taller.
At the same time, after people have seen it, it also appears to be a bit more upscale, and it is much more advanced than the kind of Internet companies that still work in garages and basements.
When he came to the company this time, Jin Xiantai mainly asked about the information processing center and the expansion of the server.
At the same time, he also had to have a good talk with the management about the company's next step plan.
The qq software now has more than 100 million users, and users who are online for more than 8 hours a day account for about 60% of the total number of users.
At the same time, more than one million new users are added every day, and 89% of the new users continue to use qq software, which shows the stickiness.
The data can be predicted from this. What is the potential of qq in the future.
You must know that qq has only appeared for half a year until now.
Bringing his daughter to the company, Kim Hyun-tae immediately notified the management for a meeting.
The little boss has a meeting. Of course, the management under him did not dare to be negligent, and put down the things at hand one after another. One by one, they gathered in the meeting room.
Now the company has not many employees, and it is still recruiting employees. After all, the current [Internet Communication Company] is still growing and developing.
But even so, the number of employees in the company now exceeds 500, and there are 13 executive-level employees in the management team. All of these 13 people receive an annual salary of more than 500,000 US dollars.
And as the company continues to grow, it is not impossible to have an annual salary of over one million in the future.
Of course. The premise is that they can stay with the company at that time.
Coco also attended the meeting with his father, which was also intentional by Kim Hyun-tae. He wanted his daughter to experience this environment and understand these things from an early age.
Instead of being a girl who doesn't understand anything.
After all, everything about me in the future will be handed over to my daughter, right?
Cultivate her since she was a child, so that when she takes over the management in the future, it would be bad if she doesn't understand anything.
Little Keke was very quiet and very well-behaved, just so obediently and quietly being held in his father's arms. Sitting on father's lap.
The meeting started, the supervisors began to speak, and everyone began to report to Kim Hyun-tae. Some problems encountered by the company recently.
The most important thing is that the number of servers is not enough, which leads to the deterioration of user experience.
In addition, the infringing software is also constantly developing, and it has begun to fight against Kim Hyun-tae's company.
After listening to the reports from the supervisors, Kim Hyun-tae pondered for a while.
"Isn't there still 1.7 billion US dollars in the company's account? Why didn't you purchase servers and increase the number of servers? At the same time, you are talking about the establishment of an information center in the central state of Minnesta. Why haven't you responded yet?"
"Flying House" earned 2.3 billion US dollars, Kim Hyun-tae left 300 million to the animation production company, and moved 2 billion to the network company. The purpose is to solve the problem that Internet companies are currently facing.
But now the supervisors actually say that the problem has not been resolved, which makes Jin Xiantai a little annoyed.
After all, the money has been brought. It was impossible for him not to get angry when the problem was not resolved.
Could it be that these guys take money and do nothing?
". We originally ordered a batch of servers, but the factory broke the contract and sold the servers to the company that copied our software. At the same time, the service center we are talking about in the central state of Minnesota has also encountered some problems. Unknown people obstructed, so the negotiations had to be put on hold for the time being.”
Seeing the faint dissatisfaction on his little face, a middle-aged man sitting on Jin Xiantai's right hand quickly spoke out.
"I suspect that the company that set up obstacles for us is the company that violated our rights." In the end, the middle-aged man also expressed some speculation in his heart.
After listening to the middle-aged man's explanation, the anger in Jin Xiantai's heart gradually dissipated. After all, if it is true as the middle-aged man said, then there is really no way to blame these high-level officials.
"Continue to discuss the establishment of the information processing center in Minnesota. This matter cannot be delayed. This is a very important matter. No matter how difficult it is, you must continue to discuss, and I want results."
Kim Hyun-tae gave his subordinates a death order.
"We can talk about it, but the price of the land we are looking at in Minnesota has been doubled by the local government. This is something we cannot afford. If we buy the land at that price, we will lose money."
The middle-aged man reminded Jin Xiantai again at this time, and told him such a thing.
After hearing the words, Kim Hyun-tae didn't even think about it, so he said to the middle-aged man: "Then change another place. There are many lakes in Minnesota, and not just one place is suitable for us. If it doesn't work here, let's change to another place. Have money and can't find a place?"
The middle-aged man nodded, accepting Jin Xiantai's arrangement.
It is not that simple to establish an information server processing center, because it requires a large amount of water for cold treatment, so the location is relatively picky.
Therefore, the choice of Minnesota is mainly due to such a factor, because there are many lakes in this state, and the geographical location is also very good. It is very suitable to establish an information processing center here.
But looking at it now, there will be some twists and turns in this matter.
"By the way, after the server manufacturer breached the contract, did they give us compensation?"
Jin Xiantai suddenly thought of this matter, so he asked.
A middle-aged Caucasian woman with her left hand who was writing the minutes of the meeting raised her head and replied at this time: "It has already been paid. We paid 50 million in advance for the purchase of the server. If the other party breaches the contract, it will be calculated at ten times. When it comes to our company's account, we still have 2.2 billion in cash in our company account."
The animation production company got 2 billion in cash from the Internet company, and 300 million was used to purchase the land for the company's headquarters, as well as the buildings on the land and some other miscellaneous items.
Unexpectedly, the company that made the server actually breached the contract, and gave him a liquidated damages of 500 million, which gave him a small windfall.
However, Jin Xiantai would rather not have this windfall, after all, server expansion is the most important thing for him.
"This company has been blacklisted by the company. We will never deal with this company. We will immediately contact other manufacturers and purchase a batch of servers as soon as possible. The existing servers can no longer handle the growing user base."
The middle-aged Caucasian woman responded immediately: "Okay."
Then Jin Xiantai continued: "As for the infringement of our software intellectual property rights, I have already started to deal with it, so you don't need to worry too much, let the other party be happy for the time being, and they will pay the price soon, and it will be heavy. The price, I promise!"
Hearing what Jin Xiantai said, the company executives present at the meeting were shocked.
After all, everyone was very upset about this villain who violated the company's interests.
", better get rid of this disgusting company quickly, because they have robbed us of too many users, and this affects us a lot."
The middle-aged white man spoke again, reminding Jin Xiantai to deal with this matter quickly.
After hearing the words, Kim Hyun-tae smiled, looked at the middle-aged white man and said, "Don't worry, I guarantee that the more their users grow now, the more miserable they will be, and the users they absorb will all become ours." .”
There is some charm in this sentence, the middle-aged Caucasian man understood it all at once, and showed a knowing look to Jin Xiantai, and nodded slowly.
"I understand."
"Let the engineering department continue to pay attention to this company's software, and remember to record and collect evidence at any time. When it goes to court in the future, these will be evidence."
"I know, I will let the people in the engineering department pay attention to this issue."
It has to be said that the IT company that pirated QQ is very courageous, and has basically started to blatantly imitate QQ.
Qq released a QQ group function, and the software of this company immediately produced a similar function, and the time difference was only a dozen hours.
What kind of function is launched by qq? After a period of time, the company's software will also come up with one, and the plagiarism has become naked.
However, Kim Hyun-tae is still waiting patiently, and at the same time asked the people in the company to silently record these situations, waiting to become court evidence one day.
It's not that Kim Hyun-tae doesn't want to deal with the other party earlier, but that he has to wait for Stark to give him news.
Kim Hyun-tae is also very strange, why the other party is so courageous, dare to plagiarize so blatantly?
You know, the protection of intellectual property rights in this time and space is very strict and strict. Does the other party have any backing or background?
But even with the backing and background, it is very dangerous to do so.
In short, Kim Hyun-tae just couldn't figure it out. (To be continued.)
