In midsummer, the weather in Zhonghai is like a flowing fire washing away the atmosphere, and there is a scene of steaming everywhere.

Flying fish investment bank.

Even sitting in the cool air-conditioned room, FIGO and Howard are still terrified of the heat in China.

At least as usual in Los Angeles, the Pacific monsoon blowing on the west coast has never felt that summer will be so difficult.

It is also a big city along the Pacific coast. Why is the climate gap so large?

In fact, it is as difficult as the climate, as well as FIGO and Howard's mood at this time.

The same software park investment plan was implemented by Wu Tao one after another. From the initial Jinling Jiangbei software Valley project to Shenzhen Nanshan software Valley project, whichever had a great impact at that time.

Coupled with the subsequent Internet Conference, the two software Valley projects soon ushered in many seed projects.

So far, the discussion heat on the online media is still there.

Even the Chinese state-run media are planning to make a special program for this purpose.

Figo, who is used to living in the Western atmosphere, has always kept a distance from the power of the media.

Because the western media often have more bad things and less posture.

Now after seeing the situation in China, FIGO found that Wu Tao was so skillful in media publicity.

Of course, after all, FIGO has to admit that the gap between Zhonghai software park project and Wu Tao software Valley project is not just because of media publicity.

To be exact, it is very difficult to advance every step from the early stage of project planning to cooperation and negotiation to the final landing.

Standing in front of the French window of Zhonghai office building and looking at the growing steel jungle under his feet, FIGO was so depressed that he didn't even flirt with the blonde secretary.

When the office door was knocked, FIGO cleaned up his mood, turned back to his seat and said, "come in."

Howard walked in solemnly with a stack of sub documents, "thank God, FIGO, the process of Zhonghai Zhangjiang software park project is finally finished."

"Thank God." FIGO's white face rarely breathed a sigh of relief, "next, has the project publicity plan been done?"

Howard's face suddenly became serious. "That's the problem."

"What's the matter?" FIGO instinctively frowned.

Howard looked helpless and said, "according to the official requirements of China shipping, let's publicize it with the gimmick of similar projects or follow-up projects of software Valley..."

As he finished, FIGO shook his head decisively and said, "it's impossible!"

"I think so." Howard agreed: "but their analysis is not unreasonable. At least in this way, we can save our publicity cost and take advantage of it without effort."

FIGO pointed to the desktop and stressed: "the cost of the investment can't be saved!"

"Good, good!" Howard immediately gave in, and then the conversation changed: "what kind of theme should we use to plan publicity in order to put pressure on Huaxia Wu in the momentum?"

FIGO was not angry and said, "let the planning department do this until I submit a publicity plan to my satisfaction!"

Howard is not very satisfied with the instruction, but for now, it's the only way.

"There's another problem, FIGO, we have to consider!"

"What's the problem?"

Seeing that FIGO's face had shown impatience, Howard carefully said: "I don't know if you have noticed. The Jinling Jiangbei software Valley project is led by Tianxing game company, a listed Internet enterprise; The Shenzhen Nanshan project has Tencent, a quasi listed enterprise, taking the lead in settling in. "

"... in this way, if there are no Internet enterprises of the same magnitude settled in our Zhonghai Software Park, wouldn't it be compared?"

"This..." FIGO fell into a deep meditation and frowned again. "This is really a problem!"

A moment later, FIGO said excitedly, "how about CNOOC Bell laboratory? This is a foreign-funded enterprise with great influence in China. "

Howard thought for a moment, but still hardened his head and said, "I don't think it's appropriate, FIGO. First, CNOOC bell is not representative of the Internet industry. Strictly speaking, it belongs to the field of hardware; Second, its volume is insufficient. Compared with Tianxing game company, it is not even as good as Tencent. "

"What do you mean?" FIGO threw the problem to Howard.

Howard immediately suggested: "I think we'd better introduce one or two influential Internet software companies in China. I've checked that there are at least two companies of the same magnitude as Tianxing game and Tencent, Alibaba and NetEase."

"In that case," FIGO said immediately, "then introduce all these two enterprises. We must cooperate with the unique publicity scheme to make the project famous!"

"I hope so!" When Howard got up, he obviously had some confidence. "I'll do it now."

As the first NASDAQ listed company in China, Howard has heard of Netease's reputation.

In order to revive the morale of the Zhonghai software park project, Howard booked a direct flight to the capital of China that afternoon and came to ZhongGuanCun Netease building.

In the CEO's office, Ding Lei received a call from the front desk saying that a foreigner was looking for him. He was very surprised.

When he really saw me, Ding Lei smiled with great interest. While talking with Mr. Howard in front of him, he had his own plan in his heart.

I have long heard that Wu Tao has a festival with several foreigners. When we met today, we found that it is empathy.

Mingming came to invite himself to join the CNOOC software park project. As a result, he looked domineering and superior. He didn't mention any specific conditions, as if inviting you just looked up to you.

Who can stand it?

If someone else has a gene of "worshiping foreign countries and fawning on foreign countries", he may fall close to this foreign thigh without saying a word.

But Ding Lei was the first person to ring the bell on NASDAQ. He didn't know the foreigner's temperament thoroughly, at least he got a rough idea.

So that he has long been insensitive to foreigners.

Of course, Ding Lei has long had the idea of moving the company.

Just listed companies, easily remove the impact of a division, or can not be ignored. So what he pondered was to transfer Netease's core R & D department to Shenzhen. After all, there is a Nanshan software valley there, and the time is just right.

What's more, it's Wu Tao's project. As long as he doesn't want Apocalypse investment to sell his shares crazily, he will never be foolish enough to cooperate with Howard in front of him.

Until Ding Lei expressed his meaning completely, Howard was stunned and stunned on the spot.

This Chinese man refused himself!

This is really unreasonable and ignorant. How unreasonable is it?

Even so, Howard still plans to make a final effort. He thinks it's still possible to rescue.

"Mr. Ding, allow me to repeat it. Your company will provide unique preferential conditions when you settle in Zhonghai software park. In the future, Netease will be able to develop into a situation with more worldwide influence with the help of the cutting-edge platform of Zhonghai, an international city. "

"... moreover, CNOOC software park project is essentially the same as Jinling software Valley Project and Shenzhen Software Valley project. The treatment you enjoy there will only be better in Zhonghai software park. Trust me! "

Ding Lei grew up and said, "Howard, I'm sorry we can't cooperate. As for the reason, I just want to say that Apocalypse investment holds more than 20% of Netease shares. I can't take risks... "
