"How is it?" Hearing Huang He's voice, Wang Wei directly hung up the phone, while Huang He looked at Dai Tiejun with a smile.
"Chairman Huang, you are really willing to give me 10% of the shares?" Dai Tiejun asked incredulously.
"Of course, I have always treated talent this way!" Huang He smiled. "We can directly put the share issue in the contract, but this contract also has a clause that these shares will be option shares within 10 years, which means you must work in the company for a full 10 years and not do anything that harms the company's interests. Only then will these shares be converted into real shares."
"I understand!" Dai Tiejun nodded. Such conditions are very normal. Otherwise, Dai Tiejun would leave after a year but could get 10% of the shares for free, which would be inappropriate.
"However, Chairman Huang, there is something I must explain to you. My personal ability is too far behind Mr. Wang. I only understand practical matters, and I know nothing about company operations, business acquisition, and interpersonal relationships. Therefore, I am only suitable for a practical position. You will probably regret it in the future!" Dai Tiejun said sincerely.
"This is exactly the kind of person I need!" Huang He laughed heartily. "I don't need people like Wang Wei who can play fancy tricks. I need people like you who are down-to-earth and willing to work hard. As for business, you don't need to worry. The head office will help you get business. You just need to focus on the transportation work!"
"The head office helps me get business? Can our company have so much business?" Dai Tiejun asked in surprise.
"Our single company may not, but in the future, when the company establishes a new platform, there will be at least millions of stores, and the business will be too much for you to handle!" Huang He chuckled. Dai Tiejun listened inexplicably.
————————————
Dai Tiejun's decision was self-evident. Although Wang Wei personally hosted a farewell dinner for him after he resigned, Dai Tiejun still joined Jiangnan. The next day, the procedures for Jiangnan Logistics Company were being processed, and Dai Tiejun began to fully undertake the construction of the logistics company.
Of course, Wang Wei's meal was not without value. When Dai Tiejun left, he did not actively take anyone away. Only more than 10 people who had been following Dai Tiejun resigned on their own after learning the news and followed Dai Tiejun.
As a result, the construction speed of Jiangnan Logistics will be greatly reduced. Although Dai Tiejun guarantees that a nationwide logistics network can be established before November, Boss Huang is actually not confident about whether it will succeed.
At the same time, Huang He also had a very worrying matter, which was that if Wang Wei became more ruthless and disregarded the previously signed agreement, directly stopping the transportation of goods, it would cause great trouble for Huang He.
However, Wang Wei did not seem to have such intentions. The cooperation between Shunfeng and Jiangnan continued. This indicated that Wang Wei was a smart person. He understood very well that forcibly cutting off supply to Jiangnan would not change Huang He's mind. On the contrary, it would lead to the disappearance of a large profit that originally belonged to him, and he would also have to pay a large amount of liquidated damages.
Therefore, Wang Wei did not even play any small tricks. Shunfeng's work attitude was the same as before. This made Huang He unable to help but sigh that the success of any entrepreneur was not accidental, and there was an inevitability of people in it.
Time passed quickly, and it was May in the blink of an eye. Dai Tiejun's speed was faster than expected. In less than a month, he had already laid the main trunk of Jiangnan Logistics, which were the routes from Wenzhou to several logistics centers across the country, as well as the procurement of hundreds of large trucks.
Simply put, Jiangnan Logistics now has the ability to deliver goods to logistics centers in various provinces with its own trucks. The next step is to recruit drivers, purchase small trucks, lay out internal routes in various provinces, and formulate reasonable systems, etc. In short, Dai Tiejun's work was very diligent and worthy of the 10% share and a monthly salary of 100,000 yuan.
At the same time, in Cao County, the Northern Network Center, which had been delayed for a month, finally welcomed its first batch of residents, led by Academician Ni Guangnan and a team of more than 50 engineers.
This team was personally assembled by Ni Guangnan. Huang He only asked Ni Guangnan how much money was needed to assemble the team and purchase equipment.
As a result, Ni Guangnan spent three days meticulously calculating and produced a list of more than 60 pages, detailing all expenses. The total amount was 48,452,650 yuan, accurate to the tenth decimal place.
Huang He glanced at it and found that Ni Guangnan had calculated everything and was very careful in trying to save money for Huang He, even not calculating his own salary. So Huang He waved his hand and directly approved 80 million yuan in funding for the newly established Jiangnan Optoelectronics, nearly doubling it, and specifically noted that Ni Guangnan's monthly salary was 100,000 yuan. If Ni Guangnan did not accept it, the funding for the next month would be deducted by 48.45 million yuan, which made Ni Guangnan curse Huang He as a spendthrift.
However, the team moved into the research and development center located in Cao County at a very fast speed. Ni Guangnan guaranteed Huang He that within three months at most, he would provide Huang He with the design drawings for the first generation of mass-produced servers, including the server's chip architecture, etc. This speed, although there was the foundation of the previous Ark chip, Academician Ni had truly sold his life.
However, this server still required a lot of time. After all, design was only part of it. The key was production, and more importantly, chip production. These could not be accomplished in a short time. However, the server network center located in Cao County had to go online because more and more users of the oo game platform were complaining about the poor network.
Especially for users who liked to play real-time strategy games, the network made them frustrated.
Fortunately, the users' emotions were very stable, because the current national online battle platforms, whether it was oo, QQ Lianzhong, which had just launched online single-player game battles, or other small platforms, their networks were all similar.
Logically speaking, Huang He did not need to rush at this time, but the problem was that Blizzard sent a message saying that their Warcraft III had been developed and was ready for global release, and asked if Huang He's Battle.net was ready.
Huang He's Battle.net was simple. As long as he became a product对接 with the technicians sent by Blizzard for Warcraft III. However, our Boss Huang regarded Warcraft III as a great card to play. To achieve perfection, the network center in Cao County had to be put into operation as soon as possible.
Therefore, Huang He had to buy servers.
However, Compaq servers still had to wait in line, and IBM and Oracle servers were still prohibitively expensive. In desperation, Huang He had to ask people to find connections to get a few Compaq servers from Korea, and finally managed to get the Cao County network center up and running in May.
On May 15, 2002, Blizzard held the global launch ceremony for "Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos" in Los Angeles. Historically, this epoch-making game was released in July, having been postponed three times consecutively, from January 2002 to March, then from March to May, and finally to July.
For some unknown reason this time, the May release did not continue to be postponed but was released as scheduled.
At the same time, the official version of "Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos" was finally delivered to Huang He.
However, along with Huang He came an unwelcome guest, which was Blizzard's president, Allen Adham.
"Mr. Allen, shouldn't you be in Los Angeles presiding over Blizzard's press conference right now?" Huang He rolled his eyes when he saw Allen Adham appear.
"Oh, no, you don't know, I've never been interested in such public-facing matters. These are all done by my partners."
"Then you don't have to travel all the way here!" Huang He rolled his eyes. He had never seen a boss who, while his own game was being released, traveled thousands of miles to another country to have fun.
"I came specifically to thank you!" Allen Adham said with a smile. "If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have been able to release it in May this time. It would have been delayed further?"
"Why?" Huang He asked in surprise.
"It's because you played a few games with me in Korea back then, which allowed me to discover many problems in the version, especially the problems faced in May this year, which was the positioning of the human race."
"Our several planners had endless debates about the positioning of the human race's troops and combat power. Some planners wanted to vigorously develop goblin technology, making mechanical sense the mainstream of human technology. Other planners felt that witchcraft was more in line with human characteristics and required the development of more units related to witchcraft, pursuing recovery and control abilities."
"After thinking about it, I thought of when I was fighting with you, you had a large number of human units cooperating with each other, and those damn defensive towers that could fall anytime."
"So I decided to make the human race's tactics more complex. The early stage would focus on witchcraft, and the later stage would focus on goblin technology. Only by simultaneously utilizing both aspects of units could victory be achieved in a complex race!" Allen Adham said with a smile.
"Uh... what about the defensive towers?" Huang He asked again.
"I canceled the defensive towers!" Allen Adham was even happier. "I think it's too overpowered to be able to buy three instantly generated defensive towers with gold in the early stage. Blocking it at the entrance of any race's base would mean they wouldn't need to develop at all. Moreover, being able to buy various items directly from the shop might weaken players' enthusiasm for killing wild monsters. So I simply canceled the shop buildings. What do you think?"
"Uh... Heh heh!" Huang He gave a dry laugh. He suddenly remembered that the historical version of Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos did not have race shop buildings.
It wasn't until the Frozen Throne expansion that race shops appeared in the human world. And when he was fighting with Allen Adham back then, he had race shops.
It turned out that this race shop was eliminated by him.
