"It can't be done? That's impossible! "
Hearing Huang Liqian's words, Liang Zhu, who was in charge of the QQ business, immediately retorted, "It's just adding a login port. Our two engineers can solve it."
Chen Hansheng also smiled and ate the buffet without saying a word, letting Huang Liqian reply.
"Mr. Liang, the technical difficulty I'm talking about is not in this aspect."
Huang Liqian answered sincerely, "Because all the products of Nutshell are in a closed loop. If we suddenly open a port link now, it is likely to affect the stability of the daily operation of the products, and it is more likely to be attacked by some external Trojan horses. We all experienced the 'Millennium Bug' incident, so we have to be careful."
"Besides …"
Huang Liqian lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "Mr. Ma and Mr. Liang, you should know the current situation that Nutshell is facing now. The company is about to be listed, but it's not smooth sailing in China. Some people are waiting to see us make a fool of ourselves …"
When Huang Liqian said this, he deliberately glanced in a certain direction.
Both Mr. Ma and Liang Zhu understood. Nutshell and Baidu had quarreled for a long time, and both of them were giants in the domestic industry. The national level couldn't be biased towards either side, so they could only adjust occasionally.
Since Huang Liqian said this, Tencent also knew that Nutshell didn't want to open a login port. After all, it was the biggest help to Tencent, and almost no benefit to Nutshell.
"Mr. Huang, you're right. We haven't thought about it very carefully. The main thing is that we're eager to cooperate with you, hahaha …"
Mr. Ma was still very gentlemanly. Nutshell and Tencent didn't compete for core interests, so they could be regarded as "friendly partners" in the online industry.
"How about this?"
Chen Hansheng seemed to feel embarrassed to reject a friend, so he thought for a while and said, "Mr. Huang, you can separate Nutshell Shopping Mall from the industrial chain. We'll add a login port for Nutshell Shopping Mall. QQ numbers can be logged in with one click."
"Okay …"
Huang Liqian thought for a while and immediately agreed, "That's a good idea. Mr. Ma, Mr. Liang, shall we discuss it in depth?"
From "Nutshell Express" to "Nutshell Shopping Mall", it was Tencent's turn to disagree.
Express was the most popular product under Nutshell with more than 100 million registered users, while Shopping Mall was the most deserted business, because there were almost no other options except for Nutshell's peripheral products.
This was the business strategy of Nutshell's board. It would take a lot of energy to develop e-commerce, and it would affect the layout in other aspects. It was better to wait for Taobao's e-commerce business first.
When that time came, the rich and overbearing Nutshell would throw in tens of billions of subsidies and directly set up a Nutshell Shopping Mall.
But before that, Chen Hansheng wouldn't refuse if the shopping mall could get some traffic from QQ.
Tony't's's't't's s't also t's's's't's's's's's s't t's s s technical't't it's't's's a a a '

"Ah!"
Ting't t ''s "Liang Liang's" t t t "Shopping t" s Liang't t t "s" s "s" s "
These were also Huang Liqian's original words, and not a single word was changed.
"It's okay, we can understand …"
Chen Hansheng laughed, and the dining table suddenly became quiet. Then, there was a burst of awkward and polite chatter:
"The prawns in this hotel are good."
"The salmon is fresh too."
"Director Chen, Chairman Ma, do you want fruits? I can help you get some."
… ….
After this friendly lunch, Chen Hansheng and Huang Liqian went back to their hotel room to rest. Tony and Liang Zhu sat in their original seats, drinking tea and chatting.
"It's a pity that Chen Hansheng didn't agree."
Liang Zhu said regretfully.
"It's fine if he doesn't agree."
The two Boss Mas had different speaking styles. Tencent's Boss Ma spoke faster, while Alibaba's Boss Ma spoke with a cadence. It probably had something to do with his experience as a teacher before he started his business.
"Should we make a copy?"
Liang Zhu suggested, "Nutshell Express Player. Let's organize some people to study it."
"No, no, no …"
Boss Ma said "no" several times. "This involves the competition of core interests. If we copy Nutshell Express Player here, Chen Hansheng can copy our QQ. The Internet cake is so big. There's no need to risk our lives with Chen Hansheng for the time being. It's hard to say whether we'll win or lose. He still has a physical factory in his hands."
"That's true."
Liang Zhu nodded slightly. In recent years, the dispute between the "real economy" and the "Internet bubble" had been incessant.
Take Baidu for example. It was a company established in 2000. In 2005, the founder had a net worth of billions and was ranked at the top of the Hurun Rich List.
Five years was more than the total business of those famous real enterprises for decades. Therefore, many economists criticized the Internet economy as a bubble. Once it burst, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"There are bubbles everywhere, even the real economy."
Boss Ma shook his head and said, "In fact, the first generation of Nutshell Express Mobile was essentially no different from Huaqiangbei's knock-off phone. It was just that the marketing was good, the appearance was beautiful, and it dared to cheat Samsung. Therefore, it was sought after by everyone and quickly gathered a lot of funds.
"When the second generation of mobile phones was released, its performance was far superior to domestic mobile phones. Chen Hansheng was plated with a layer of gold in Korea. His status was obviously different …"
"Therefore, before the third generation of mobile phones was released, there was already news of the king of price-performance ratio. They even planned to pull down Nokia and Motorola. The development seemed very unreasonable, but in fact, who could see the research and development investment of Nutshell Express Player?"
"As long as you stand in the wind, everything looks like bubbles."
Boss Ma said a wise saying, "We now have to find a way to stabilize ourselves. We can't let ourselves float. Chen Hansheng is luckier than us because he has a physical company to suppress the scale."
… ….
In fact, this was not wrong. It was precisely because of the "suppression" of the physical company that Chen Hansheng actively pursued the development of Nutshell Express Player.
In the elevator, Chen Hansheng also talked with Huang Liqian for a while about Liang Zhu's proposal. He snorted and then asked, "Have you contacted that company?"
"Yes."
Huang Liqian replied, "Play more games, but I said I was Nutshell Huang Liqian, and the other party said he was Nutshell Chen Hansheng. Then he hung up."
"Hmm?"
Chen Hansheng looked at Huang Liqian.
"It's normal. They think we're scammers."
Huang shrugged. "If I were Li Xuelin, I would also think they're scammers if the director of Nutshell Express suddenly called."
Li Xuelin was the founder of Play more games. He used to be an employee of NetEase. At first, he created Play more games to facilitate the discussion of game strategies among the fans of World of Warcraft.
Later on, there was more and more traffic. When Li Xuelin lived more than ten thousand that day, he decided to start his own business. He was prepared to build Multi-Play into the country's leading gaming guild website. He also received angel investment from Jinshan Lei.
Of course, the amount of investment was definitely less. Therefore, when such a small company suddenly received a call from Nutshell Huang Liqian, they would definitely think he was a scammer.
The reason why Chen Hansheng was interested in it was because Play was developing a software called "YY Voice". Nutshell Express Player also planned to expand into this business.
This was also another purpose of Chen Hansheng's visit to Yue City. Of course, the main purpose was to have a meeting. Secondly, he wanted to go to Hong Kong to inspect the progress of "backdoor listing". Lastly, it was for "YY Voice".
Nutshell Express planned to acquire the technical team of "YY Voice" and turn "YY Voice" into "Nutshell Voice". Thus, the product system of Nutshell Express Player could be enriched. Young people could use Nutshell Express Player to browse news and post posts, use Nutshell Express Player to watch movies, use Nutshell Cloud to listen to music, and use Nutshell Voice to play games.
In the future, there might also be Nutshell Weibo, Nutshell Typing, Nutshell Short Videos, Nutshell Live Streaming, and so on. These software would comprehensively "serve" the netizens and make the "K ♥" logo deeply ingrained into everyone's lives.
… ….
There were no big problems in the second half of the meeting. Chen Hansheng also submitted some suggestions and got to know several chief editors of the southern newspapers.
After the meeting, Chen Hansheng and Huang Liqian's assistants personally went to Play more games company.
Play was still in decline. It looked more like a game studio. More than a dozen employees were crowded in an office in the software building. The receptionist was a girl around 20 years old. She might also have administrative work.
Small companies were like this. It sounded nice to call it "administrative work", but in fact, it was just "miscellaneous work".
After Huang Liqian entered, he used a kind and arrogant tone to say, "I'm Nutshell Huang Liqian. Is Li Xuelin here?"
"What?"
To his surprise, the receptionist didn't know Huang Liqian at all. She asked blankly, "Who are you? Why are you looking for our general manager?"
"You don't know me?"
Huang Liqian was surprised. He was the chairman of Nutshell Network, a famous figure in the industry.
"No, I don't know you."
The receptionist looked at Huang Liqian and shook her head seriously.
"Your company …" Huang Liqian was a little hurt.
Old Huang was a little hurt and grumbled a little. He probably felt that employees who played games more often were too short-sighted and did not keep up with current affairs at all.
"Huang, don't embarrass her. You're not very famous."
Chen Hansheng couldn't stand it anymore. He walked out and said confidently, "Pretty girl, I'm Chen Hansheng. I want to see your boss, Li Xuelin."
Logically speaking, "Fruitshell Chen" was much more famous than Huang Liqian and usually appeared on screen more often. However, the receptionist was still unfamiliar with him. She frowned and asked, "Who is Chen Hansheng?"
"We're doomed."
Chen Hansheng turned around and said to Huang Liqian sadly, "When a young man doesn't know patriotic entrepreneurs and only knows some celebrities, this country is doomed."
In the end, because of the noise outside, Li Xuelin came out and welcomed Chen Hansheng and Huang Liqian into his office in surprise. He explained that Huang Liqian was his cousin from his hometown, and it was her first time working here. She didn't know Chairman Chen and Chairman Huang at all.
"Ha-ha!"
Chen Hansheng joked, "Is your hometown connected to the Internet?"
"It's not connected to the Internet."
Li Xuelin didn't understand the joke. He said with a straight face, "My hometown is poor. We don't even have access to computers."
"Manager Li, we're here to talk about cooperation," Gu Ning said.
Chen Hansheng stopped talking about this topic, and signaled Huang Liqian to make it clear.
The receptionist didn't know Nutshell Huang, but Li Xuelin clearly knew Huang Liqian's position in the industry. He was very nervous, especially when he received a call from Huang Liqian two days ago, but was rejected as a fraud.
"What day is it today? Chen Hansheng and Huang Liqian came to visit me. Does Nutshell want to make a game?"
While Li Xuelin was lost in his thoughts, Huang Liqian simply told him that Nutshell wanted to poach all the members of the voice chat project team.
Li Xuelin was surprised, because this project was still in testing, and only a small group of players in World of Warcraft. He didn't expect that it would attract the attention of these two big shots.
"General manager Li, how much do you want? Do you want to transfer this project?"
Huang Liqian leaned on the sofa with his hands crossed over his abdomen. This was a sign of confidence in negotiation.
"Okay …"
Li Xuelin was about 30 years old. He lowered his head and stared at the tiles on the floor. He could already feel the pressure of Nutshell's wealth.
There was a TV in the office, and some messy programs were playing on it. Chen Hansheng and Huang Liqian weren't in a hurry. They watched the TV while waiting for Li Xuelin's answer.
"4 million."
Li Xuelin offered a price that he thought was reasonable, but Huang Liqian's expression didn't change at all, which meant that the price was within his expectation.
"However."
Li Xuelin added, "This project was made by three people in the company. We need to ask their opinions and see if they're willing to work in Jianye."
"That's easy. Call them in and ask them."
Huang Liqian said lightly.
Huang had done his research. Currently, YY voice chat was a mature software. As long as they bought the project's ownership, the engineers in the network department could also improve it.
Of course, it was better to let the original designer do it.
After the three engineers came in, they all knew Chen Hansheng and Huang Liqian. After hearing their intention, an engineer named He Shaoming asked excitedly, "Did Chairman Chen and Chairman Huang come here from Jianye for us?"
"He's a fan of Nutshell. He's probably excited when he heard that there's an opportunity to cooperate."
Li Xuelin explained.
"I see …"
Huang Liqian and Chen Hansheng exchanged a glance. Chen Hansheng nodded slightly. Huang smiled and said, "Of course we came here for you. Chairman Chen and I have a lot of things to do in Jianye."
Hearing this white lie, He Shaoming immediately expressed his willingness to join Nutshell without even talking about his salary.
Although the other two weren't die-hard fans of Nutshell, they knew that they would have a bright future in a big company like Nutshell.
However, for the sake of insurance, they still asked about their salary.
"I don't know about your salary at Nutshell."
Huang Liqian thought for a while and said, "But after joining Nutshell, I can give you a P6 technical level with an annual salary of about 300,000 yuan. If the project develops well, you can be promoted to P7 in advance. There's a corresponding salary for a P7."
"This is a big company. They don't talk about monthly salary but annual salary. It seems that they can't stay."
Li Xuelin smiled bitterly in his heart. The monthly salary he offered to his programmers was 5,000 yuan to 7,000 yuan, which was a good treatment. He didn't expect that it was only one-fifth of Nutshell's salary.
Workers wouldn't become enemies with money. Although Jianye was a little far away, a salary of 300,000 yuan was enough to make them forget about the distance. Then Huang Liqian talked with Li Xuelin for a while. After the transfer of the voice chat project, Nutshell couldn't develop similar software for at least five years.
This was almost equivalent to the protection of intellectual property rights. Li Xuelin had no objection. The only thing he regretted was that 4 million yuan might be too little.
However, being able to get to know Nutshell Chen was another gain. It was an opportunity that couldn't be bought with money. Li Xuelin gradually felt better after thinking about it.
Chen Hansheng acted very quickly. After he finished talking about the business, he directly asked his assistant to bring the three engineers to Jianye. He and Huang Liqian continued to go to Hong Kong.
"Chairman Chen, since you took time out of your busy schedule to come to Jianye."
Li Xuelin wouldn't let go of this opportunity. "Why don't you stay for lunch? I still have some questions to ask."
"Well …"
Chen Hansheng still wanted to maintain his composure. Suddenly, a piece of news popped up on the TV. "Yesterday, the first Industrial Internet Conference ended successfully. This conference is very significant. It pointed out the direction for the development of the Internet in our country." The chairman of Nutshell Electronics, Chen Hansheng, gave a speech. He said that the real-name system should be implemented.
The small office suddenly became quiet. Chen Hansheng unnaturally shook his shoulders. He just said that he came to Yue City for the project and talents. He didn't expect that his lie would be exposed by a stupid piece of news.
"Ahem …"
Li Xuelin also coughed and turned off the TV. He said as if nothing had happened, "Chairman Chen, why don't you try the tea and snacks here? They are very famous."
"Okay!"
Chen Hansheng immediately agreed. Everyone seemed to have forgotten the scene just now. They were chatting and laughing in the private room.
"Ding ~"
However, halfway through the meal, Chen Hansheng suddenly received a message from his younger sister, Chen Lan.
Chen Lan: Brother, something bad happened. Professor Sun went to the US with his ID card!
