Reborn? The Kind You Can Choose!

"By the way, Mr. Yuan, one more thing, the Foxmail email team has been acquired by us!"

"80 million yuan, all packaged!"

He Xiaopeng was talking there, and Yuan Zhou's originally relaxed expression suddenly condensed: "80 million, for everyone in the team?"

"Yes, everyone, including that...that team leader you asked He Bei to pay attention to, Zhang Xiaolong!"

"He was also packed away by Bo Da!"

"Haha, very good!"

Yuan Zhou was a little happy.

80 million to recruit an excellent team and a god-level email software is simply a great value.

Not to mention the future value of Foxmail and its tens of millions of users, Yuan Zhou thinks that the people under Zhang Xiaolong alone are worth 100 million.

After all, in the previous life, Penguin could spend 100 million to dig them out.

Now, it’s actually 20 million cheaper!

He Bei, the investment specialist, is indeed very capable.

Zhang Xiaolong's team is actually the group of people who will develop WeChat in the future. You can imagine how powerful it is.

This team has a total of more than 40 people, but among the 24 there are several developers with particularly high standards, such as Yu Chao who developed the "Hanshen Chinese Information System" and Harvey Chen Hanwei of CTerm.

CTerm is the first BBS software developed in Mainland China to support mouse operation on the BBS site.

Hanshen is a Chinese information integration software that is used by many Chinese primary and secondary schools for computer typing and so on.

This was developed by two people alone.

Talents like this are all Zhang Xiaolong's subordinates. They all admire Zhang Xiaolong's ability and are willing to develop with him. This is the charm of a powerful programmer.

A company like Boda obviously doesn't understand the value of this team.

They are eager to drive Zhang Xiaolong away now.

Because when they acquired Foxmail in 1999, they were interested in the users of this mailbox. They originally thought that with this user group, they could bind it to their corporate mailbox and make a lot of money.

However, Zhang Xiaolong, who became the vice president of Boda due to the acquisition at that time, insisted on requiring that the Foxmail software be free for life.

And it’s just free, no ads are allowed.

How can such a broad boss endure this?!

This is generating electricity for love!

A completely free software?!

But in fact, this is what Zhang Xiaolong did.

The reason why he sold foxmail was because he had no money to maintain it.

In order to make Foxmail free, he maintained and updated it by himself every day. The number of users overwhelmed the server. He had no choice but to sell this hard-earned work.

So, under such a situation, the rift between Bo Da's senior management and him was of course getting bigger and bigger.

In addition, Boda's own efficiency is getting worse and worse. They urgently need to cash out to make up for their losses, and selling Foxmail is the best way to cash out in their opinion.

But Boda has some evil intentions and sells it at a relatively high price, and everyone in the industry knows that although Foxmail is a good product, it is a purely free software that generates electricity for love. It is useless to buy it without making money.

With more than 10 million users, it is worthless in the eyes of many people.

So no one quoted at all.

It wasn't until the wealthy Penguin took a fancy to the potential of this software that they contacted Boda, and thus met a good talent and got a development master like Zhang Xiaolong.

Now, Yuan Zhou has obviously cut it off.

"But Mr. Yuan!"

Listening to Yuan Zhou's excited voice, He Xiaopeng hesitated and said: "Zhang Xiaolong's team has a request, and Mr. He agreed during the acquisition. I don't know if you agree or not!"

"Zhang Xiaolong wants to stay in Guangdong City, right?"

Yuan Zhou smiled, but He Xiaopeng across from him took a long breath: "Mr. Yuan, you know everything? Did Mr. He tell you?"

"It's okay, I agree!"

Of course this was not what He Bei told him.

Because when Ma Huateng acquired Zhang Xiaolong's team in his previous life, Zhang Xiaolong only had this request - he could join the Penguins, but he must stay in Guangdong.

For this reason, Ma Huateng directly set up a Guangdong Penguin R&D Center for him in Guangdong City!

It is enough to show that Ma Huateng is optimistic about Zhang Xiaolong.

And Zhang Xiaolong lived up to his expectations and developed an artifact like WeChat in Guangdong City.

In the final analysis, Zhang Xiaolong is actually a pure person.

To put it bluntly, he is a complete coder and a super otaku. The thing he hates most is going out. For this reason, he can even stay at home for a month, develop Foxmail, and eat instant noodles.

Even if WeChat is developed in later generations and the whole world knows that it is his credit, he will not appear in the public eye at all.

Although he makes social software, what he hates most is "socializing", the kind of communication outside the house.

Zhang Xiaolong’s greatest ideal is to write programs for a lifetime.

So Yuan Zhou was very relieved and handed over the management of the branch to him, just like Penguin did back then.

"Lao He, I am going to set up a research and development center in Guangdong City!"

"Do you want to go back?"

Yuan Zhou asked He Xiaopeng.

He Xiaopeng is from Guangdong City.

"I"

He Xiaopeng was obviously stunned by Yuan Zhou's sudden question.

To be honest, he really wants to return to Guangdong City, but he is actually very satisfied with the current environment and position.

One person is inferior to a thousand people, what position is more satisfying than this?

The key is that the future prospects of this company are promising all over the world.

Therefore, He Xiaopeng was a little hesitant.

"Okay, I'll just tell you!"

"Help me book a flight ticket for 153 tonight or tomorrow. I have to go to Guangdong!"

"I want to meet this Zhang Xiaolong!"

"Okay...Okay!"

He Xiaopeng was not surprised at all that Yuan Zhou went to the Guangdong market. Since he had acquired the other party's team, as the boss, he would definitely go and have a look.

"Anything else?"

Yuan Zhou asked, and He Xiaopeng quickly said: "No...No, just these two things!"

"Okay, please take care of the company. I may not be able to come back to get the update, so I can only leave it to you!"

"There are also private programmers and some well-known Internet celebrities. Please contact them. After the school network 3.0 is launched, they must all join me!"

Yuan Zhou was there to take care of him, and then hung up the phone.

"Zhang Xiaolong!"

Yuan Zhou, who had just walked to the dormitory, muttered the name, but already had some plans in his mind.

Originally, he wanted to quickly launch his own instant messaging software after the school network 3.0 was launched. Now, WeChat has met the owner of his previous life, and there is another person who is more suitable than him.

What?!

"Leave it to him, you've found the right person!"

Yuan Zhou smiled slightly, but quickly took out his laptop from the bed. He was going to log in to see today's futures and stock market conditions!

The four major grain merchants must be almost unable to hold on, right?"

The first thing Yuan Zhou opened was, of course, the domestic futures software. .
