Chapter 43 Brother 3

Chapter 43 Brother 3

Chapter 43 Brother San

At this time, under a parasol by the swimming pool, Shen Taian and two dark-skinned young men were sitting together and talking about something. Seeing An Rusong and the other man coming up, the old man waved at them and motioned for them to come over.

However, just as An Rusong and the other man were about to walk over, Liu Taihe, who was standing by the guardrail, pushed aside the woman beside him and walked over with big strides. He stretched out his arms and laughed loudly, "Rusong, Rusong!"

Hearing the other party greet him and even make a gesture to hug him, An Rusong naturally couldn't continue walking. He glanced at Zhao Chenghao, who looked uneasy, as an apology to him, then put on a smiling face and went to meet Liu Taihe.

Walking closer, Liu Taihe gave him a tight hug and said with a smile, "Come, let me introduce you to two new friends."

After saying this, he ignored Zhao Chenghao who was still standing in the distance, and directly pulled An Rushong and walked towards Shen Taian's position.

Seeing the two people walking side by side, Shen Taian and the two dark and thin young men stood up. It was not until they got closer that An Rushong realized that the two dark and thin young men were obviously not East Asians. They had obvious South Asian features.

"Rusong, these two are PC experts I hired specially," Liu Taihe said as he walked under the parasol, pointing at the two black guys, "This is Haji, and this is Kumar. They are both from Hyderabad and hold Indian AP."

“APNC certified,” said the young man, who was called Haji and could speak fluent Korean. “We hold APNC senior software engineer certification and have five years of work experience at ITSO in Hyderabad.”

“Yes, yes, APNC certification, five years of work experience at ITSO,” Liu Taihe clapped his hands and laughed.

The corners of An Rushong's lips twitched involuntarily. He didn't know what the so-called "APNC" certification was. He had never heard of this certification in his previous life.

However, he had heard of "ITSO", which means "Information Technology Service Outsourcing". It is an important part of India's software industry. In other words, it is an industry, a general term for a type of company, rather than a specific company.

Well, even if what these two Indians said was true, and they did work in information service outsourcing companies for five years, so what? Can they become senior software engineers after five years of hard work on code? Isn't the senior software engineer in their mind too cheap?

However, although An Rushong was skeptical about the abilities of these two Indian brothers, he would not bring it up at this time. These were the "experts" found by Liu Taihe. What did they have to do with him?

"Oh, I admire you," So when Haji showed him his resume, An Rushong just flattered him with a look of admiration.

As for the other party's hand reaching out to him, he pretended not to see it. It was not because he had any racial discrimination, but because he was really annoyed with Indian brothers in every sense of the word.

"I have two friends in the Philippines who are also in the gambling business," Liu Taihe said as he invited An Rusong to sit down and pushed a pack of cigarettes that had been on the small round table over to him. "Mr. Haji and Mr. Kuerma were recommended by my friends. They will be responsible for the technical support of our website operations in the future."

Hey?
An Rushong understood that he was completely kicked out of the Hanaha website project. It turned out that not only would he not get any dividends, he would not even get a basic salary.

Wow, this is really good.

This young man in front of me is so arrogant that he hasn't even got the source code of the website yet, but he has already kicked the founder out.

People say that when you cross a river, you should demolish the bridge. But he is demolishing the bridge before he even crosses the river?
"President Liu, what do you mean?" Zhao Chenghao, who was not far away, obviously understood what the other party meant, and he asked angrily.

Liu Taihe had no intention of paying attention to him. He just picked up a glass of water on the table with a smile, pretending that it was river water as a cover, but kept his eyes on An Rushong's face.

However, Shen Taian stood up with a serious expression and walked towards Zhao Chenghao without saying a word.

"Well, Brother Taihe, so, the preparations in the Philippines have been almost completed?" There was no change in expression on An Rushong's face. He took out a USB flash drive from his pocket, gently placed it on the table, picked up the pack of cigarettes, took out a cigarette, held it between his fingers, and asked.

"Almost done." Liu Taihe turned his gaze to the USB drive, "Now, I just have to wait for your results."

"Then, are the equipment for testing ready?" An Rusong lit up the cigarette and took a puff. Then, without waiting for the other party to answer, he continued, "It's like this, Brother Taihe, actually I came here today, in addition to handing over this test version of the website code program to you, I also want to apologize to you."

"Oh?" Liu Taihe raised his eyebrows.

"It's like this. My sister just came to Seoul recently. She needs to study in high school here for a year and a half, and then take the college entrance examination," An Rusong said frankly. "In order to take care of her, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave Seoul in the short term, so the work in the Philippines..." He paused, and then changed his face to a gratified expression, looking at Haji and Kurma sitting next to him: "Fortunately, Brother Taihe now has two masters to help him. I believe that with Haji and Kurma, the normal operation of the website will definitely be no problem, and I don't need to go to the Philippines again."

"Is that so?" Liu Taihe's originally tense expression slowly relaxed. He looked at An Rushong and asked, "What about the test you mentioned?"

"Ah, that's right," An Rusong explained, "Any software that is ready to be put on the market needs a testing period. Brother Taihe can think of it as a trial period. The main thing is to try running it to see if there are any bugs, oh, that is, technical defects. If there are defects, we can adjust and fix them immediately to avoid trouble after going online."

Liu Taihe didn’t understand this, he turned his head and looked at the two Indian brothers.

The two Indian brothers would naturally nod, unless they knew nothing.

"How to test?" Liu Taihe turned around and asked An Rushong.

"We need to buy some basic testing equipment," An Rusong said. "For a flower card website like this, the technical content itself is not very high, and the code program is not very complicated, so there is no need to do large-scale testing. We..."

"Just tell me what equipment you need," Liu Taihe interrupted him impatiently.

"My consideration is that we need at least two sets of department-level servers, which must be stable and reliable," An Rusong said calmly, "We need a certain number of terminal PCs. Considering that customers may use different PCs in the future, we also need to consider the running of programs on different PCs. Therefore, whether it is laptops or desktop PCs, we need to purchase a batch."

"Tell me how much money it costs," Liu Taihe waved his hand and asked directly.

"Different machines have different configurations," An Rusong said truthfully, "different configurations have different prices."

After a pause, he looked at the two Asan brothers and said, "I don't know much about hardware. Well, Brother Taihe can consult Mr. Haji and Mr. Kurma. They should be able to give some good suggestions."

Hearing him say this, the expression on Liu Taihe's face softened. He turned his gaze to the two Indian brothers, obviously waiting for their advice.

"If it's a server, especially a department-level server, I recommend using Dell PowerEdge 2950," Haji and Kumar talked in English for a while, and then the former switched to Korean and said, "A set of standard servers of this type costs about 200 million won."

Not far away, Zhao Chenghao, who was whispering with Shen Taian, was visibly stunned after hearing what San Ge said. He seemed to have thought of something and turned to look at An Rushong who was sitting quietly under the parasol.

"For the terminal PC, we recommend IBM's ThinkPad T60p, which has an official selling price of around 380 million won per unit," Haji continued.

"Wait!" Liu Taihe frowned and asked, "Why is an ordinary laptop more expensive than two sets of servers? Shouldn't the servers be more expensive?"

"Oh, that's not the case, President Liu," Haji hurriedly explained for him.

An Rushong didn't want to listen to them talking about this boring topic. He turned his head and glanced at Zhao Chenghao who was not far away. Seeing that the other party was looking at him in shock, he blinked at him and made a subtle grimace.

Yes, the suggestion given by Haji was exactly what he had mentioned to Zhao Chenghao two days ago, about the hardware equipment they needed to purchase to start their company.

The reason why he judged that Haji would give such advice was actually not surprising, because as long as the other party was a little knowledgeable, they would not have many other choices.

Take laptop computers for example. Since last year, Samsung, LG, and even Venus have all withdrawn from their OEM cooperation with HP and IBM. In other words, there is a blank in the field of domestically produced laptop computers in South Korea.

As for the various types of imported laptops, excluding Japanese products, Haji's choices are very limited.

Among them, the ThinkPad T60p is a mobile workstation, and its performance is the most reliable. Haji is just working for others, and he is not the boss, so he naturally has no need to save money for Liu Taihe. Therefore, when making suggestions, he naturally has to choose the most reliable one. After all, only reliable equipment can avoid unnecessary troubles in subsequent testing.
