Chapter 251 Encounter

　　Over so much time, traveling north and south.

　　Su Yehao considered himself well-traveled and knowledgeable, attending parties in Silicon Valley and meeting a group of big names from his past life.

　　Yahoo's Yang Zhiyuan even invited him to his home, but Su Yehao felt that he would sell his Yahoo stock sooner or later to cash out. He didn't want to get too close at this time, so he found an excuse and declined.

　　On the Silver Sea side, the English-proficient, always-okaying Leibus, had been working for him for quite a while.

　　Since last year, that guy had been running the Silver Sea portal website with great success, and recently started developing web games, social platforms, and other fields, basically occupying the spot for Weibo while also aiming for NetEase's territory.

　　On the other hand, the old business that few users were willing to pay for, the office software WPS, had suddenly become less important.

　　Now, suddenly encountering a young Pony Ma at his tAt company, Su Yehao just felt surprised.

　　He hadn't heard any news about Penguin for a long time and thought he might have accidentally blown this guy away. He might have disappeared among the crowd. He never expected to see him here, with a tAt employee ID hanging on his chest!

　　He couldn't help but click his tongue, muttering to himself that life was indeed wonderful.

　　The current Pony Ma.

　　He was just an ordinary programmer who had struggled for a few years after graduating from college, couldn't make it at his previous company, and thought tAt was more interesting, so he came to work here.

　　This guy graduated from Shenzhen University's Department of Electronic Engineering, majoring in Computer Science. After graduation, he worked as a programming engineer in a company that produced pagers, and after a few years, he became the head of the development department in the company.

　　Later, needless to say, he was similar to the son of Su’s old man's good friend, he chose the wrong trend and cooled down.

　　The rich people in the mainland had already started buying mobile phones. Those who couldn't afford mobile phones bought imported Bp machines, and those who couldn't afford imported Bp machines tended to choose the more cost-effective Bird Bp machines, which were the domestic goods that Qiu Yaohe represented. The rest were just leftovers, and the market was getting smaller and smaller.

　　So last year, Pony Ma chose to change jobs and joined tAt in October. After coming here, he found that there were many talented people. Not to mention the consultants transferred from Silicon Valley and Hong Kong and a group of international students, even the interns who joined at the same time were more skilled than him.

　　After all, tAt's brother company tvt had already made a big name for itself in Silicon Valley, and tAt's personnel recruitment standards were quite high, and the work pressure was enormous.

　　Moreover, technology was changing rapidly, and Pony Ma, who only had a bachelor's degree, found it difficult to keep up with his colleagues. He could only do some maintenance work. Fortunately, it was considered a "foreign company" with high salaries and benefits, less overtime, and more money. New employees could get bonuses at the end of the year, so life was pretty good...

　　At this moment.

　　A group of people were stopped by Su Yehao and were stunned.

　　At least they were employees under him. Someone stared at Su Yehao for a while, and was instantly shocked. He changed his face and smiled: "President Su? We are all employees of tAt. My name is Qin Shanqi. I've been here for ten months. I was just...going downstairs to check the server for routine maintenance."

　　Including Pony Ma, they were actually just craving snacks and wanted to go to the convenience store downstairs for a while.

　　They didn't dare to say it in front of Su Yehao.

　　Although Su Yehao was young, he had a reputation. He was the superior of the superior's superior. If he criticized them a few times, it would be miserable.

　　Su Yehao only focused on Pony Ma. In a flash of inspiration, he pointed to Pony Ma as if at random, smiled, and said, "It's you. Come with me. This is my first time visiting the new company today. Introduce it to me."

　　Pony Ma didn't know why. His colleagues looked at him strangely, thinking that this guy was really lucky.

　　To say it's competitive, the end of the 1990s was really competitive.

　　From their perspective, showing their faces more in front of their superiors, they wouldn't have to worry about not having the opportunity to get promoted and increase their salary, and reach the pinnacle of their lives?

　　These employees didn't know that Su Yehao was also shocked.

　　Although he knew it was unlikely, he couldn't help but worry that Pony Ma would have a "protagonist aura" and was thinking about tAt's technology, came to his company to learn from it, and would create a Penguin in the future.

　　So.

　　Originally, he could have pretended nothing happened, but Su Yehao casually made up a reason to find out what Pony Ma was thinking.

　　For a moment.

　　Su Yehao even had the idea of ​​promoting and increasing Pony Ma's salary to keep him firmly in tAt. On the one hand, he felt that this guy had amazing luck and could provide him with support. On the other hand, he wanted to avoid a competitor.

　　In fact, he was completely overthinking it.

　　Due to the emergence of tAt, a large number of instant messaging software appeared on the market in advance. Everyone dreamed of becoming the next iCQ, with a strong trace of "borrowing."

　　iCQ had tens of millions of active users and a considerable reputation. As the leading big brother in the global industry, it was inevitable that people would keep an eye on it.

　　tAt, which only occupied the mainland market, was not qualified compared to it.

　　The entrepreneurial environment had long changed. Kangzhuang Avenue was occupied by tAt first. Pony Ma naturally didn't have the shining moment of inspiration. Moreover, after working at tAt for two or three months, he had long been frightened by the tens of millions of servers and the Silicon Valley engineers. It would be strange to have the idea of joining the industry and making trouble.

　　So-called successful people are always examined from a survivor bias perspective.

　　In his previous life, Pony Ma once hoped to sell Penguin, and the price he asked for was nothing more than about one million RMB.

　　As for the later madness, it was an unintentional act. The original intention was nothing more than to think that there should be a market and imitate iCQ to make some small money. Without the shining moment, it was just like an ordinary person.

　　Pony Ma, who had no idea what he had lost, was stunned for a moment, and a smile appeared on his face. He said:

　　"Okay, President Su. The company just moved here not long ago, and the office area has all changed. The new headquarters is really big, and we have recently recruited a lot of people."

　　The smile was even stronger. Su Yehao smiled at the other employees, then focused his attention on Pony Ma, feeling that he looked quite young and gentle.

　　Wanting to get closer.

　　He followed the topic and said to Pony Ma: "Well, it is said that the mainland will have broadband this year, and the database I bought before can finally be used. It's the end of the year, there should be a lot of talent jumping ship, and the fall recruitment for colleges should be over, right?"

　　"...I don't know much about this. This year's recruitment from schools should have to wait until next year to join the company, right."

　　Pony Ma was serious, especially enthusiastic and earnest. While leading the way, he asked, "Where does President Su want to visit? Why don't I say hello to the general manager first? Oh, that's what you call the CEO."

　　Su Yehao hadn't paid attention to this side for a long time and asked, "I'll find him later. Who is the CEO of tAt now?"

　　"..."

　　Pony Ma was completely stunned, thinking, "Is he so uncaring?"

　　Soon, he felt that it was understandable. After all, the family was big and the business was all over the place. He casually invested tens of millions of RMB in tAt, and there was a super project worth billions on the seaside.

　　This young man suddenly felt sour.

　　He silently discussed the importance of having a good father in his heart.

　　Employees often discussed in private, saying that the Su family was a wealthy family in Hong Kong that could shake the earth with a stamp of their feet. It was said that their total net worth was even higher than the mainland's richest man, and it wasn't the kind of inflated wealth of a mainland listed company with a touching price-earnings ratio.

　　In short, Pony Ma was also paying close attention to Su Yehao at this moment, looking up to him in his heart.

　　If there were no strangers passing by, he felt that Su Yehao was the most awesome big shot he had ever met in his life so far.

　　Just like Su Yehao once looked up to him...

　　The office area of ​​more than 20,000 square meters was divided into six floors, each of which was very large.

　　It was said to be an office building, but the interior looked more like a shopping mall, even with a hollow corridor. The decoration cost millions of RMB, and many places had not been used yet. It was not too late to start construction when needed.

　　Considering maximizing profits, Su Yehao's funds were useful. He would save as much as possible, borrow if he could, and only find a way to pay out of his own pocket if he couldn't borrow.

　　tAt currently had a total of more than 100 people. After a while, the tot headquarters, which was developing in the field of search engines and portal websites, would also move here.

　　It would definitely be enough for a few years. There was no need to rush to develop the land in the Nanshan High-tech Zone Industrial Park for the time being.

　　If you ask Su Yehao why he was so confident in future development, of course it was because his products had an extremely high market share, and he was not short of money or development ideas.

　　It was not strange that he could grow up smoothly. It would be strange if he died halfway.

　　Now that he had accidentally won Pony Ma, Su Yehao felt a sense of confidence. Otherwise, why would he have changed jobs and come here among so many companies in Shenzhen?

　　Having been with his old man for a long time, and influenced by the atmosphere of Casino, 1997 and Hong Kong, Su Yehao also began to be affected.

　　He was just finding some confidence by relying on mysterious things anyway, and it wouldn't cost much money. It was also very likely to make money, such as the jade God of Wealth he customized.

　　In addition.

　　There was no accurate explanation for the accident that happened to him.

　　Although it could barely be explained by science, there were still some weak mysterious possibilities... Perhaps the old God in the dark felt that he had lived too miserably in his previous life, or perhaps he had accumulated virtue in his previous life or something.

　　Su Yehao had never understood it, but he didn't try to figure it out. It was good to enjoy it comfortably.

　　After chatting and testing him, he didn't find that Pony Ma had any intention of coming to learn from him.

　　Gradually, Su Yehao had some new ideas about his future and asked, "That is to say, you have been a senior executive in your previous company? Very good. I need management talent the most now. You look like you can attract wealth, and your personality is quite stable. Why don't... the company is going to set up a game development management department next, why don't you try to transfer over there?"

　　Unable to figure out how it was related to his appearance, Pony Ma asked in confusion, "Games? I haven't had much contact with this. I occasionally play *Red Alert*..."

　　Su Yehao waved his hand to interrupt him, then said, "Experience doesn't matter, just be good at learning. Learn from mature game development experience, or directly represent it. With tAt's scale, as long as it continues to grow, there will definitely be a market for making games."

　　Although he didn't know which aspect of himself had successfully attracted Su Yehao's attention.

　　But with the opportunity in front of him, Pony Ma, who was confused, still eagerly hoped to seize it and said, "Then why don't I try it first?"

　　"Well, I'll talk to your superior later."

　　Su Yehao was very satisfied. As long as he didn't start a business and compete, everyone was a good friend.

　　…
