At around 1pm, Chen Hansheng and his group arrived at Bao 'an Airport. Because Kong Jing was the one who handled the whole thing, everyone else was waiting for her to talk to Wang Xing.
"I've contacted him."
Kong Jing put away her phone and said, "I've confirmed the address again. I'll call him now."
"Huh?"
Chen Hansheng and Huang Liqian didn't have any questions. Only Nie Xiaoyu asked in surprise, "What kind of company is this? Is there no car coming to pick us up?"
"Dong ~"
Chen Hansheng knocked Nie Xiaoyu's head and said, "They're still in the early stages of their business. When we were doing Rocket 101, we didn't have a car. We did have a few tricycles."
"Ouch, it hurts ~"
The secretary covered her head and complained. Actually, Nie Xiaoyu couldn't be blamed. As Nutshell Electronics' business volume increased, the secretary's vision was also constantly improving. She felt that for a business partner with Nutshell Electronics, having a business car should be the most basic guarantee.
However, Wang Xing's "tragic situation" was far more than that. After arriving at the destination, Chen Hansheng looked around. It was just a shabby bungalow.
The dark alley in the middle of the city, the ground was uneven, and there were a few small puddles with black pools of dirty water. In 2006, Shencheng was already fully developed. It was not easy to find a place like this.
Occasionally, there would be some residents passing by. They curiously looked at Chen Hansheng and his group, especially the glamorous and mature Sister Kong.
Wang Xing and his colleagues were already waiting at the entrance of the alley. The size of the team was pitifully small. There were only four men, and their appearances were surprisingly similar.
Their clothes were a bit sloppy, and they all wore thick glasses. Probably because they stayed up all night, their hair was listless and stuck to their scalps.
Nie Xiaoyu looked at the environment and didn't have much confidence in the cooperation.
However, Huang Liqian found it interesting. When he was studying for a doctorate, he also looked like this because he spent a lot of time in the lab.
"President Chen, I've heard a lot about you."
Wang Xing still knew how to be polite and took the initiative to greet Chen Hansheng.
Although Chen Hansheng was young, he was already a successful person. He also had the same nickname in the industry as "Net Yiding", "Alima", and "Sohu Zhang" — Fruit Shell Chen.
Chen Hansheng smiled and shook hands with them one by one. The other three were Zhang Kedong, Liu Wenju, and Wu Ming. These guys, who were called "right-hand men" by Wang Xing, might stand in court and be tried 10 years later.
"This is Nutshell's general manager, Kong Jing. This is the network department's chief engineer, Huang Liqian. This is my secretary, Nie Xiaoyu."
Chen Hansheng also introduced the people on his side. After both parties shook hands, Kong Jing secretly twisted her fingers. There was an oily feeling.
… ….
After entering the "studio," Chen Hansheng couldn't help but smack his lips.
Now, it could only be called a "studio" because Wang Xing hadn't officially established a company yet. Secondly, it was just a shabby bungalow, about 15 square meters, crowded and messy.
There were only a few computer bellows that were tirelessly spinning, blowing a hot wind on the face. There were a few bowls of cold instant noodles on the table, and the whole room was filled with a strange smell.
Chen Hansheng smiled. This feeling was very similar to the black internet cafes in his hometown. In addition, it also reflected that Wang Xing's current situation was very difficult.
"Boss Chen."
Wang Xing adjusted his glasses and said embarrassedly, "Because the cost of renting the server is relatively high, it costs more than 30,000 yuan a month. Temporarily, I don't have spare money to improve my life."
"It's okay, I have also started a business twice, I can understand and experience it."
Chen Hansheng waved his hand and said, "The site where Rocket 101 started was provided by our university. At that time, I also didn't have money to rent a house."
"That's right."
Wang Xing sighed and said, "Starting a business is really not a simple thing, there are too many problems to consider. I really admire Boss Chen, but I might be more suitable to be a technical backbone."
"Let's not flatter each other. In fact, we are not outsiders. The University of Posts and Telecommunications and the University of Finance and Economics are both in Jiangling University City. This time, I came here to see how far the development of the Express Play has progressed and how long it will take before it can be released into the market."
Chen Hansheng said with a "haha".
"What Express Play?"
Wang Xing was stunned for a moment. "Boss Chen, are you talking about this player? We haven't officially named it, but 'Express Play' is really good."
"Erm …"
Chen Hansheng said a few words and skipped the topic of the name. He watched Wang Xing and his colleagues introduce this nameless player.
When it came to software development, these IT guys suddenly became interested and confident. They talked about the so-called "P2P peer-to-peer network."
"P2P network" was the technical core of the player. Its advantage was that not only could it quickly search and download related resources, but it could also be played in real-time, played while playing, played online with BT torrents, and so on. This function was second to none of the current players in the country.
However, Chen Hansheng, Kong Jing, and Nie Xiaoyu were all laymen in technology. They couldn't understand it. This was also the main reason why Huang Liqian came.
Huang crossed his arms in front of his chest and listened with great interest. From time to time, he touched his chin and asked a few questions.
"Smoke, smoke, smoke …"
Chen Hansheng took out his Zhonghua cigarette and spread it around. When Liu Wenju finished the introduction, Chen Hansheng pretended to praise it.
"According to the current progress, it may take half a year before the stability test can be carried out."
Wang Xing said, "It can be released into the market by the end of the year."
This time was basically the same as the original time. Express Play was originally born in 2007, but now it fell into Chen Hansheng's hands. He could provide a better incubation environment, and with the support of manpower and resources, the time would be greatly shortened.
"Cough …"
Chen Hansheng cleared his throat. "Seniors, you should know the purpose of my visit."
As soon as this sentence was said, Wang Xing and the others suddenly became silent. Only the sound of the bellows could be heard in the room.
This was the preparation to talk about the "cooperation price" after the technology exchange.
Although they were not very good at doing business, the attitude and behavior of the big boss of Nutshell Electronics coming all the way here was very sincere. Did he really think that these bosses with hundreds of millions of yuan had nothing to do?
"Senior Wang."
Chen Hansheng smoked while observing the expressions of Wang Xing and the others. He also used the way they addressed each other in school.
"Nutshell Electronics wants to cooperate with you very much. First, I am very optimistic about the prospects of this player. I think it has epoch-making significance."
"Second, as the saying goes, a man's wealth is his own ruin. After talking with Senior Wang just now, I feel that Senior Wang and all of you are very simple and honest. However, there are too many bad guys in the business world. We can work together to resist the unknown risks together."
"Third, because of some inexplicable reasons, I inexplicably prefer this software."
"Finally, I want to hear Senior Wang's opinion on cooperation or agency."
After Chen Hansheng finished speaking, he waited for Wang Xing to state his request.
"Cooperation or agency?"
Wang Xing did not have many opinions on other issues, but on "cooperation or agency", he seemed to be a little hesitant.
Chen Hansheng calmed down and calculated that if cooperation did not work out, then he must get the agency. He could not miss out on this software.
"Hmm …"
Wang Xing and the others exchanged glances for a while. After hesitating for a long time, they finally made up their minds and asked, "Mr. Chen, don't you want to buy it? My price can be slightly lower."
“?”
Although Chen Hansheng was very experienced in negotiations, he was still swayed by "Xing Bao".
I'll be satisfied with just a lick. Do you have to give me the whole lollipop?
"Mr. Chen, I really can't hold on anymore."
Wang Xing smiled bitterly and said, "A friend came over a while ago. I had to smash my own piggy bank to have the money to treat him to a meal. I haven't paid Old Wu and the others for a few months, and Wen Ju's girlfriend even broke up with him."
"Don't talk about this."
Liu Wenju turned his head. His eyes were a little red. "I just want to make money now."
"Oh, it seems that you really can't hold on anymore."
Chen Hansheng thought secretly.
If someone said that they "just want to make money", it was basically certain that not only did they not have money now, they also did not have love.

(Please vote, I hope everyone has money and love.)
