Global Monopoly of Technology

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

The company was stared at by the media all day long, 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 shows, but they all refuse without exception. This year is a key point. The Cote d'Azur company was established this year. For Luo Sheng, the time is very tight, and there is definitely no The mind ran out to brag or something.

After the middle of May, his focus of work was once again on the Cote d'Azur. The busy period of time has basically finalized the main affairs of Bluestar Technology. The following things can be developed according to the established arrangements. Bluestar Technology is in There are only two important products left in the second half of this year, one is [Cloud Song Knows] and the other is [Bluestar Video], mainly the latter project.

...

Mid to late May.

"The acquisition of Reed Communications has been completed, and the integration was completed last week, with a total cost of 221 million yuan for the wholly-owned acquisition. In addition, the Cote d'Azur Company has acquired a piece of land on Yangcheng Lake Avenue, which has been approved for 50 million yuan. "

Qin Weimu came to Luo Sheng's office to report on the work of the Cote d'Azur.

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

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

Luo Sheng set up a new technology company this year. Once the Cote d'Azur company was established, it attracted great attention from Sioux City.

The company's registered capital has reached a huge amount of 2.6 billion, and it is impossible to ignore it.

Sucheng is happy, but the next door neighbor, Shencheng, is depressed. Once the company landed, it has become a key support for high-tech enterprises in Sucheng, and has given many preferential policies, such as land transfer and tax exemption for three years.

What Luo Sheng values ​​most is the preferential policy of land transfer. As for the tax exemption policy, frankly speaking, even if this tax is not exempted, the Cote d'Azur company has not paid any tax in the past three years, because it has been pouring money into it for the past three years.

It can only be said that the leadership is still great...

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

However, the hao123 website is quite eye-catching now. Now it can create more than 10 million turnovers a month, and it can earn about 150 million yuan a year. However, the money earned is basically used for money-burning wars, but it is also for the company's festival. After a lot of money, at least hao123 can basically be self-sufficient. Now the industry realizes the importance of navigating websites, and no one who is a search engine can afford a navigation website.

The acquisition of the land by Cote d'Azur is right next door to the land acquired by Bluestar Technology, which is to the southeast of Tian Dujiao Village. .

However, as a high-tech company, even if it makes a profit in the future, there will be tax relief policies. This is the state's strategy to support the development of high-tech industries.

Luo Sheng took so much land for long-term planning, not for some companies under the name of technology companies, getting licenses to enjoy tax relief, and doing real estate reselling behind the scenes.

The purpose of getting these land is to earnestly develop the land, rather than some people taking the land and delaying the construction period indefinitely, slow construction, in fact, waiting for the land premium, and then selling it when it is almost, and earning several times or even ten times. benefit.

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

"After the completion of the acquisition of Reed Communications by Cote d'Azur, the company currently has 1,259 employees, of which 1,133 are technical R\u0026D personnel, accounting for about 90%." Qin Weimu quickly replied.

The biggest purpose of acquiring Reed Communication is to gather a relatively complete technical research and development team at one time, which is the core acquisition starting point of Luo Sheng.

At this time, Qin Weimu added: "By the way, I have rented the 5 office buildings next to it as the temporary headquarters of the Cote d'Azur."

Luo Sheng is the founder and head of the two companies, but Bluestar Technology should handle the company's affairs, and the Blue Coast company's affairs should be handled in the office there.

Otherwise, it will fall into management chaos, and at the same time, it is also to avoid the dissatisfaction of investors caused by occupying the resources of Bluestar Technology.

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

After simply reading the materials, Luo Sheng closed the document and looked up at Qin Weimu and said, "What about the employees of the Azure Coast Company? I said the day before yesterday that all the technicians should come to Sucheng. Have they all arrived?"

Qin Weimu said, "We can all arrive tomorrow. Now we will arrange to stay in the hotel, and the company will reimburse the expenses."

The original Led Communication was in Shencheng. There were several laboratories and some equipment there. It was not the top in the world, but it could be used. Luo Sheng did not plan to move all of them here, and there was no place for placement here. After the land, the construction of the experimental base and the introduction of related equipment should be stepped up, but it will take time.

As for the headquarters building, it is definitely not an issue to consider now. Even if the company has billions of dollars, in fact, Luo Sheng spends hundreds of millions of dollars or even hundreds of millions of dollars during this period of time, but Luo Sheng should not spend it. Sheng will never spend indiscriminately, and temporarily rent a commercial office building to bear it first.

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

Nondisclosure agreement?

Qin Weimu nodded slightly: "Okay, then I'll deal with it."

There are more than 1,000 non-disclosure agreements, which will be completed tomorrow, and the time is quite short. Luo Sheng did not say much. Qin Weimu herself is a top professional legal person. She knows more about non-disclosure agreements than Luo Sheng. to formulate.

...

Two days passed in a flash. Under Qin Weimu's arrangement, the meeting place was a five-star hotel in Xiangcheng District. The 1,133 engineers of the Cote d'Azur Company received the notice yesterday and signed a contract on the same day. Confidentiality agreement, 1107 people signed, the rest did not sign.

Luo Sheng fired them directly without any hesitation. Ci refused to take charge, which made the 26 people who refused the visa very confused, and they were fired inexplicably.

All the people who were hired were the technical staff of the former Lide Communication, and all the people who were transferred from Bluestar Technology signed without hesitation. Most of them are the core backbone, including the early entrepreneurial team members Bai Lang, Lu Siming was also transferred to Cote d'Azur by him.

The 26 people who were fired do not have to worry about finding a job. The big deal is to return to the old company, DXN Wireless. The IT industry practitioners are still very popular, but they actually regret it, because Cote d'Azur is acquiring Reed Communications. After that, on the same day, it was announced to all employees that the salary increase was doubled.

As soon as the hat of Reed Communications is taken off and the hat of Cote d'Azur is put on, the salary will be doubled immediately. Who doesn't want to work with a rich boss?

At about 10:30 in the morning, 1107 employees have all arrived, all gathered in the conference room of the hotel's multimedia hall, just waiting for the legendary boss to appear. Meetings are unusual.

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

As for entering the official development sequence, each person only knows what he is responsible for, and does not know any information about other sections, and even some sections cannot tell the development team what to do with them.
