Shenhao Black Technology Network Developer

In the afternoon, Lei Luo visited the UST equipment production factory, which is located in a small town south of Jinggu, and it takes 2 hours to drive.

This factory mainly assembles the final equipment and pre-installs the corresponding software on it. The core chips and PCB boards are either purchased or OEM. They will not produce it on their own or can't produce them.

After Lei Luo visited, he asked Wu Ying to assemble this piece of equipment and move it to the Caojiahe Economic Development Zone, where Lei Luo had already obtained the site.

Then, Lei Luo went to see the demonstration hall of UST, and could experience all the products of UST personally. Wu Ying gave Lei Luo a demonstration one by one, and Lei Luo also operated it himself. From the terminal to the equipment to the value-added service software, almost everything All the possessions of UST are gone.

Lei Luo suggested that Wu Ying set up a UST museum to record many important moments of UST, and Wu Ying also agreed one by one. This is what Lei Luo later saw when he visited some large enterprises. With a museum, this company seems to have history and culture, giving people a look that has a deep heritage.

In the evening, Kate arranged for Lei Luo to taste Jinggu’s very famous oriental cuisine: sushi. The location is Jinzushi Sushi on Jingguang Avenue, where the most famous are tuna sushi and tempura shrimp. Lei Luo doesn't reject sushi, but he definitely doesn't like it. However, since I'm here in Jinggu, I won't try it for nothing.

Back at the hotel, Lei Luo and Lu Weiwei chatted on QQ for a while, and it was 12 o'clock. Tomorrow is the National Day on October 1, 1998.

"Congratulations, your number of users has reached 2619934, points +2619934"

Lei Luo froze for a moment. Is this software user credits settled on a monthly basis?

Lei Luo thought about it again. At present, Moluo Technology’s software includes QQ (estimated 100,000 users), QQ browser, QQ mailbox, Weibo, portal, computer housekeeper, security software, etc., with a maximum of 700,000 users. Why is it more than 2 million?

"By the way, I forgot to count UST. Now it is Lei Luo's company. Its equipment has many users in the United States or China." Lei Luo patted his forehead suddenly, and actually gave UST to forget.

Lei Luo quickly took a look at his system panel:

Saturday, October 3, 1998.

Lei Luo got off the commercial vehicle and walked into this famous western restaurant on the VC street: Butters.

If Jinggu’s coffee shop is a base station for entrepreneurship and provides a place for entrepreneurs and investors to contact for the first time, then Butters is the terminator, and the final investment is finalized.

Large-scale investments such as Yahu, Tesla, and Netscape have all settled here. This is a more formal place for business meetings. Almost all Jinggu legends have eaten here.

Entering Butters is a hall with three floors, full of small round tables and tables for individual diners, and behind the hall is a three-story compartment area, which can be used for business meetings.

Lei Luo walked into cubicle 3 on the 2nd floor. There was already a middle-aged man sitting inside. His sparse blond hair was neatly combed into two to eight points, and he couldn't hide the baldness in the middle.

"Lei Dong? I'm Thomson from DEB." When Thomson saw Lei Luo coming in, he was obviously taken aback. Although he knew the details of Lei Luo, he was an 18 or 9-year-old Asian young man. When I saw such a young Lei Luo, I couldn't help but feel a little skeptical.

"Hello, Thomson," Lei Luo shook hands with him politely and naturally sat opposite him.

"It's the first time here? What would you like to eat?" Thomson said politely.

"What's the recommendation?" Lei Luo didn't refuse his kindness either. After all, he still counts on him to complete his system tasks.

Thomson quickly called the waiter and ordered two pasta, two wagyu soup, one grilled mushroom, and one roast.

"I heard that you are going to buy shares in DEB?" Thomson waited for the waiter to leave, looking at Lei Luo expectantly.

"Yes, I think DEB is an underestimated company. All the current problems are problems with the company's management level. I hope that after the capital injection, I can find a new business direction." Lei Luo pretended to be thoughtful In fact, he didn't think so in his heart. When the task was completed, he would definitely withdraw the capital and leave immediately, and he was not interested in the life and death of DEB!

"Yes, our business philosophy is different from the current CEO. We believe that PC is the future," Thomson said.

"Are you going to abandon the server market?" Lei Luo's system task is to compress the market space of SUM, which sells servers. Lei Luo is very depressed. I came here to ask you to make the server market more competitive and squeeze out part of SUM's market share. It is not for you to enter the PC market. What is my business?

"Of course not, the server will be another product of ours, but not a strategic product," Thomson explained patiently.

"If you want to enter the PC market, what do you think?" Thomson's explanation can't satisfy Lei Luo. He still can't see any changes in DEB in the server market. This is not helpful for him to complete the system tasks. See if there is a good way in their PC strategy.

"We will use our beta chip architecture, equipped with the Linux operating system," Thomson said.

"You don't need your Inner operating system?" Lei Luo was a little surprised, but he was relieved immediately.

If DEB wants to enter the PC market, they can use their own chips, but if the operating system also uses their own Inner operating system, it will be too expensive, and it will be completely uncompetitive. Only the free linux operating system can be used. Is the best choice.

"What about your server, can it support Linux?" Lei Luo gradually found a touch of feeling. DEB server is not easy to sell. One big reason is that it only supports Inner operating system, and Inner operating system is too expensive. As a result, DEB server is more expensive than SUM in terms of price, and there is no obvious advantage in performance, so the market is SUM kept squeezing.

"Of course, if the price of our server can be lowered, it will definitely be more competitive than the SUM server. It is just that some old stubbornness in DEB can't bear the Inner operating system, coupled with some arrogance, finally caused the situation today," Thomson said regretfully .

"This seems to be a good idea, I think it works," Lei Luo said with a smile.

"Then how much money can you put out now?" Thomson asked tentatively.

"100 million meters of gold", Lei Luo is also frank, because Li Jiaxin should have revealed something to them.

"That's great, the investment company should be able to give you 10 times the leverage, so that you can get more than 10% of the shares, thereby occupying at least two seats on the board of directors," Thomson said excitedly.

Lei Luo smiled and looked at the excited Thomson. He didn't speak. He had nothing to say because he didn't understand. Smiling is the best cover at this time.

"Adding to the 6 seats we currently have, it can completely change the direction of DEB's business," Thomson continued.

"How many seats are there on the board?" Lei Luo asked.

"Currently there are 16 and the chairman actually controls only 7 of them. Now that we have you here, we have 8 seats. It is completely possible to reappoint the CEO." Thomson wanted to suppress his inner excitement. , But he couldn't do it, because his dream for many years seemed to be realized.

"Happy cooperation", Lei Luo was also satisfied with the result, stretched out his palm, and held Thomson's together. The two of them saw that the ordered dishes were already on the table and couldn't help but smile at each other!

After Lei Luo was sent away, Thomson quickly called Brown and reported all the details in detail.

Brown put down the phone, but frowned, feeling that Lei Luo cares about server products very much, and doesn't seem to care about their strategic product PC!

Brown took a sip of the red wine glass in his hand, closed his eyes, and rolled his stiff neck. As long as Lei Luo supports their PC strategy, the company will not give up on server products in the short term, and they will not be able to manage so many others!

October 5, 1998, Jinggu VC Street, KCP Investment Bank Building

"Hello, Lei Dong, this is the Brown director of DEB." Under the KCP investment bank building, Thomson introduced Lei Luo to Brown who had just arrived.

"Hello, Director Brown," Lei Luo greeted politely and stretched out his hand.

"Hello, Mr. Lei, let's go, I will introduce you to a familiar investment manager, and let him give you at least 10 times leverage." Brown held Lei Luo's hand affectionately with one hand and did it with the other. In a pleased gesture, he walked into the building together with Lei Luo.

In the CEO's office of the DEB building, Omar put down the phone, her face a little gloomy. A friend of the KCP investment bank just told him about Brown's actions.

"Hmph, they really can't wait." Omar picked up the phone again and dialed out.
