Chapter 125 I Want to Make a Gift

The system, which had a sense of smell for the first time, was full of curiosity. She sniffed around the kitchen like a dog and couldn't stop.

By the time she had smelled everything in the kitchen, even the rag, Cao Shen had already finished the meal.

The system returned to the living room excitedly with lemonade, only to see three empty lunch boxes!

[Host... Master! ]

The system sniffed the three lunch boxes over and over again.

[Why didn't you wait for me!!! ]

Howled in grief.

Cao Shen wiped his mouth with a tissue:

"You can't eat it anyway, the lunch boxes taste the same."

He stood up and walked towards the notebook, looking back:

"By the way, remember to throw away the lunch boxes and clean up the table later."

System: You are ruthless, cold-blooded, and cruel! You didn't even leave me a smell!

The system sat down on the chair, looking at the three empty boxes with grievance:

Should I eat so cleanly...

Cao Shen drank lemonade, flipped through the "Life Cyber" made by Chen Jack, and began to think about his proposal.

Looking at it, Cao Shen laughed. Isn't this just a low-profile version of Facebook?

Chen Jieke is studying for a doctorate in computer science in the United States. Two years ago, he made a campus running app called "Life Cyber". It was originally a web version. Last year, it was developed for mobile devices and used Cao Shen's instant messaging module.

Now Life Cyber ​​has gone beyond campuses abroad. It is a popular social product with about 30 million users.

But this project was done by Chen Jieke and two classmates. Now there are differences in the direction of product development.

Chen Jieke advocates not considering the issue of profitability first, improving the user experience, and using all the money for promotion.

The other two people advocated starting advertising monetization, but Chen Jieke believed that the user base is not large enough now, and the user's stickiness to the product is not that high. Putting ads so early is a harm to the user experience, and he firmly opposes it.

Those who advocate selling advertising monetization believe that the competition in social products is very fierce now. If they don't make money by themselves and rely entirely on financing, the company will close down directly if the financing is not smooth.

Both sides have their reasons, so this matter will be shelved for a while, and the three of them began to work on a new round of financing.

But two stories were prepared for investors, one was to burn money to buy users, and the other was to start advertising monetization, to see which path the investors preferred.

I just got the letter of intent for investment recently, and the investor chose the story of monetization.

This made Chen Jieke very passive. At the beginning, he chose to compromise, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was not the direction he wanted.

In addition, the three people came from three countries, East, the United States and India, and there were cultural differences in communication. In fact, the cooperation has always been quite bumpy.

So Chen Jieke had the idea of ​​quitting, and the other two agreed to buy Chen Jieke's shares at a 30% discount, so that he could take the money and leave.

Ever since he used Cao Shen's instant messaging module, he has been paying special attention to the movements of Tongcao Technology. Every time Cao Shen released a product, he was more active than watching the Spring Festival Gala.

From instant messaging modules, to website editors, to 18+ games, to image processing apps, to cloud disks, to Youxin apps, to UUA game engines, and then to open source cloud architecture. (っ◔◡◔)っ

Chen Jieke gradually became a die-hard fan of Cao Shen.

The reason why he didn't even think about competing for 30 million users was because he had someone in his heart!

From the first time he wanted to invest in Cao Shen with the instant messaging open source module, to later thinking about being acquired by Cao Shen, to now wanting to follow Mr. Cao without anything.

After a year, Chen Jieke couldn't help himself.

So, when he made up his mind to throw away the shares in his hands and leave, he felt unprecedented relief and excitement. With a very nervous heart, he wrote this email to Cao Shen.

"If Mr. Cao can authorize me to be the agent of Youxin APP in the United States, I, Chen Jieke, will go through fire and water and die."

This is the ending of Chen Jieke's email. He never thought that he would write such a second-year sentence one day, but this sentence best expresses his voice.

So, is Youxin going to "go overseas"?

Cao Shen looked at Chen Jieke's letter, which was written on several large screens, and tapped the table with his fingers.

Mr. Cao really didn't have time to think about Youxin's "going global".

But from the content of the letter, it can be seen that Chen Jieke is also a talent. The strategy, tactics, and cost of Youxin's "going global"...

Everything is written down in detail.

And from the fact that Chen Jieke can reach 30 million users in two years, this guy's practical ability is still good.

Let Youxin "go global" as a global product, it's good.

However, I also want Facebook!

So Cao Shen planned to invest and go with the flow. The price given by Life Cyber's new round of financing investors is 400 million US dollars, which is not too expensive.

In 2012, Facebook spent 1 billion US dollars to acquire Instagram, and the number of users is about 30 million, but that acquisition must have a premium.

Although there is this idea, investment is not a matter of whim. Chen Jieke's personality and team still need to be interviewed and investigated. In addition, financial, legal and business due diligence must also be done.

But Cao Shen, the otaku, obviously had no intention of flying to the United States.

In addition, there is another special situation. Life Cyber ​​is still a US company, and its main users are Americans. When it grows bigger in the future, let alone users from other countries, even the users in the US home field will also have huge user data.

And Youxin is a company in the East, and the relationship between the United States and the East is very delicate.

If Youxin becomes a shareholder behind a company with huge data of American people, it is estimated that even if the United States does not make trouble, it will definitely find fault with it.

Even Facebook was found fault by the United States. Well, although Facebook is not a completely American company, there are a large number of foreign shareholders in it. To be precise, it is a public company.

But at least the headquarters is in the United States, but because of the sensitive data, the CEO still attended many hearings.

As for Chen Jieke, he has already become a naturalized American, so it should not be a big problem.

Chen Jieke is also an orphan. He was adopted by a Jewish couple of American nationality working in the East in his early years, so he followed his native place. However, he finished his undergraduate degree in the East before returning to the United States with his adoptive parents to continue studying.

Therefore, if they want to invest, Cao Shen and Youxin had better hide behind to avoid future troubles. Cao Shen wants the data of Americans and even the whole world, but he doesn't want the trouble of Americans.

Cao Shen plans to ask Mr. Xiao tomorrow about how to do this, and ask him for help with the due diligence. After all, he has more hands than others.

Having made up his mind, Cao Shen began to work on another important matter.

The cloud computing framework and container of Tongcao Technology were released on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. It has been almost four months. Everyone should have a preliminary understanding of this set of things and have questions or experiences.

Cao Shen had already set up a cloud computing team last year. Although the cloud computing products of the system were given later, Cao Shen had already instilled advanced cloud computing ideas into these people.

Therefore, they mastered this set of architecture and container technology faster than others.

It's time for them to shine.

Cao Shen plans to send his group of people out for free training starting next week to help companies using this set of architecture and container technology to produce products as soon as possible.

The reason why we waited for four months is to give people time to learn and digest.

Just like a teacher giving a lecture, he can't ask as soon as the new semester's books are handed out:

Students, do you have any questions? The teacher will answer your questions now.

You haven't even read the book, how can you have any questions.

The best shortcut to promote a technology is to make money for those who promote it.

Let those who use this technology solve practical problems.

Therefore, Cao Shen wants to send Buddha to the west. Hand in hand, free training.

Although, in Cao Shen's view, public cloud is the future.

But there are still many industries that have special requirements for the functions, performance, cost, security, etc. of cloud computing due to their special business logic.

Although the public cloud in the future can solve these problems, it requires IT engineers who understand cloud on the user side.

At this stage, from the talent side, this condition is not yet met, and there is a transition process.

Therefore, there is still a need for suppliers to provide private cloud to help customers complete cloud deployment.

For example, industries such as finance, government, large energy companies, and education all need to provide customized private cloud products and services.

Cao Shen needs to have customers to deploy cloud services in various industries and provide technical and market education.

Therefore, he needs to "empower" customers.

Let's work together to make the pie bigger and share the benefits.

Of course, if Cao Shen wants to eat alone, it's not a big problem. He just needs to spend more energy.

However, that is not conducive to letting more people master cloud computing technology, and it also goes against the original intention of Cao Shen's open source technology.

Making money is never important.

Progress is precious.

In order to let Tongcao Technology's people provide good service, Cao Shen spent a lot of time in the middle of the night thinking about how to formulate performance appraisal standards.

Customer praise? No, Tongcao Technology is the source of mastering technology. If these people act arrogantly, customers will have to give praise in order to solve the problem.

Number of trainees? No, people have bad natures. If you set this indicator, people will dare to make up the numbers.

Number of trainees? Still no, then shouldn't we make up the customers? Just seeking quantity, so that customers who are really interested in using this technology will not get the best service.

…

After thinking for most of the night, Cao Shen finally decided to evaluate the number and difficulty of the problems solved in the first year.

And every solution to the problem was placed on the open source website so that more users who did not receive direct training could also refer to it.

After the introduction of this policy, the people of Tongcao Technology squatted in the client company all day, repeating like a repeater:

Do you have any other questions?

Do your customers have any other questions?

Is it really all right? How about we test it again?

Let's increase the amount of data and try it?

Try it in extreme cases?

At the same time, it also caused these people to rack their brains all day to think about what new technologies can be integrated and what areas can be optimized.

After all, new technologies and optimizations will always bring new problems.

As a result, the cloud computing technology of the entire East Country developed very fast, which even Cao Shen did not expect.

The next day, Cao Shen called Boss Xiao early in the morning to talk about Life Cyber.

Sure enough, as Cao Shen judged, Boss Xiao also suggested investing in a roundabout way.

"There is no problem with due diligence. We have a team in the United States who can help you check it out. As for the issue of overseas investment, I will call you later."

Five minutes later, Cao Shen received a call from Boss Xiao, but the number was obviously not a mobile number or a landline number.

This is an encrypted communication channel...

"Cao Shen, I have an overseas investment company, Ocra Capital. You can invest through this company."

Ocra Capital! The boss behind it is Xiao Gang!

Cao Shen was very surprised. This investment institution of the UAE is very famous and specializes in investing in high-tech industries in the United States, Russia and Israel. It has a history of nearly 20 years.

Semiconductors, materials, biotechnology, communications, medical and pharmaceuticals...

Ocar Capital has a presence in these high-tech industries, and of course there are Internet projects, such as the world's largest online search, Gudi...

Everyone thought that this was a super-rich investment institution in the Petroleum Federation. Cao Shen never expected that the boss behind it was Xiao Gang!

Looking at the caller number again, Cao Shen had a bold idea:

Could it be that Boss Xiao was the one who ate according to the emperor's order?

But Boss Xiao didn't say this, so Cao Shen naturally couldn't ask.

"Through OC's investment, we can sign a proxy agreement privately. Life Cyber's shares and related rights belong to you, and can be used as a certificate when necessary." Xiao Gang said.

"Okay, no problem, thank you very much. I will tell Chen Jie Ke to introduce OC to invest in him." Cao Shen said.

"Okay, you can hide behind it completely, and I will let OC's people do due diligence. This is also smooth." Xiao Gang said.

"Okay, Boss Xiao, I'll leave this matter to you. If you think the project is good, we can invest together!" Cao Shen said that he felt that if he moved Feisibubu a little, there would still be a chance.

"Okay, you take the majority, and I'll give a little bit. Then I have to thank you for introducing me to a good project." Boss Xiao laughed.

Early on Monday morning, Cao Shen saw the most exciting news of the day.

"The King Returns, Zhang Da, the former founder of TT Technology, acquires "Tao Pay""

Then, before noon, the second news came out.

"Tao Pay invests 100 million RMB in Ele.wa."

Cao Shen smiled at the computer screen. Sure enough, he came.

Cut payment from high-frequency payment scenarios such as takeaways!

It seems that I will be able to eat all kinds of delicious takeaways soon, hahahaha! Thank you!

I was enjoying the future gourmet life when the phone rang.

At a glance, it was Zhang Fei!

The former director of the Science and Technology Commission, who was later promoted to a certain department and has always been a pleasant cooperation with Comrade Zhang Fei.

Cao Shen picked up the phone.

"Mr. Cao, are you busy recently?" Zhang Fei greeted with a smile.

There must be something going on!

"How dare you say you are busy in front of the big boss? I'm not busy, I'm not busy, tell me if you have anything to say!"

"Haha, it's always so comfortable to talk to Mr. Cao." Let's not talk about his ability. Cao Shen is very good at it. Zhang Fei likes to deal with him very much.

Zhang Fei continued, "It's like this. There's only more than a month left before the holiday. I just wanted to discuss with you whether you have any good ideas for this year."

Zhang Fei was promoted, but his tone became more polite. On the one hand, Mr. Cao's status is no longer what it used to be. On the other hand, Zhang Fei is promoted step by step, so he is naturally very good at dealing with people.

Cao Shen understood that at this time last year, he had held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the incubator as a gift.

Although Zhang Fei was promoted, he was still in charge of the technology and entrepreneurship sector. He had a gift last year, and he must have more this year after being promoted.

But although Zhang Fei's political achievements are good this year, he really doesn't have anything particularly eye-catching and innovative to bring out. He can't have another ribbon-cutting ceremony.

So, he thought of his lucky star. It's not that he has to do anything. It's just that Mr. Cao has a lot of ideas, so he can ask him for some ideas.

"Big leader, I was just about to tell you." Cao Shen smiled.

"Hey, you must be talking about good things! Tell me, I'm all ears, Old Zhang!" Zhang Fei laughed even happier on the other end of the phone.

"I have a new technology, and I want to research it with our government, as a gift."

"That's great! High-tech! We care about this the most, Cao Shen, your technical ability is beyond doubt! Support, we definitely support!

Last time, your cloud computing, we paid great attention to it internally, praised it highly, and said that we would award you a first prize for scientific and technological progress, which will be awarded next month!

This time, what have you developed?"

"Blockchain!" Cao Shen said.
