Chapter 115 Deputy Division
Two days later, Qi Tongwei met with three computer talents from Beijing and told them his requirement, which was to develop a software that could have functions such as chatting, sending messages, and transferring files.
"What you said is not technically difficult. It can be successful in three months at most." After hearing Qi Tongwei's request, the three of them had a discussion.
"Okay, as long as you can succeed in the research and development, each of you will be rewarded 10 yuan." Qi Tongwei said happily.
He did not give shares to the three people like he did to the others. To be honest, the Internet depends more on leaders, and ideas are the most important. At present, the three have not conquered Qi Tongwei.
Assuming that the three of them are indeed talented and can stand on their own, Qi Tongwei will definitely not be stingy with his shares.
Qi Tongwei remembers very clearly that the previous generation of ICQ was first invented in the summer of 1996 by three Israelis, Weisger, Wadi and Goldfinger, who had just completed their military service. It took them three months to invent it.
This software was acquired by China Online for 1998 million US dollars in 2.87, and they sold it for so much because ICQ did not have a profit model.
Now that it is in my hands, with future development as a reference, I can definitely sell it for more money.
In today's society, the average domestic salary is only around 1,000 yuan. Even professionals in the Internet industry only earn a few thousand yuan a month.
Therefore, when they heard that there was a prize of up to 100,000 yuan, the three people's attention was immediately attracted, and they were eager to take action immediately.
In order to complete the task quickly, Qi Tongwei had already purchased the most advanced equipment. The only thing the three of them needed to do now was to write code and create this software.
The reason for such a hurry was that Qi Tongwei wanted to complete the development of ICQ and make it run successfully before the three Israelis.
After handing over the work tasks to these three people, Qi Tongwei turned his attention back to his job and began to conduct in-depth visits to state-owned enterprises.
He first came to Handong Shagang Group Co., Ltd., an enterprise with extremely high economic benefits before the 1980s, but after entering the 1990s, its benefits gradually declined and even suffered losses.
The main reasons for this phenomenon are lagging technological updates and inaccurate market positioning.
Handong Shagang Group has always taken Baosteel as its development goal, but in fact the resources it enjoys are far behind the other party, and some of its products are highly similar to Baosteel, resulting in fierce market competition and losses.
In addition, human factors such as corruption, waste, etc. are also issues that cannot be ignored.
After a comprehensive investigation of Shagang Group, Qi Tongwei visited other state-owned enterprises one after another. After a month of continuous observation, he began to write a detailed research report.
After a week and repeated revisions, Qi Tongwei finally completed the research report.
Qi Tongwei's report can be said to be standing on the shoulders of giants, and it is hard not to stand out.
It not only incorporates the valuable experience of the successful reform of state-owned enterprises in later generations, but also includes the problems and coping strategies that may be encountered in the future.
Taking Shagang Group in Handong Province as an example, Qi Tongwei put forward a very forward-looking suggestion: vigorously develop electric furnace steel and high-quality special steel, thus cleverly avoiding direct competition with Baosteel Group.
These are practices that have been proven successful by later generations. At the same time, he also listed in advance the problems that occurred in the reform of state-owned enterprises in the previous life to prevent the loss of state-owned assets.
After submitting the research report, Qi Tongwei's daily work returned to clerical tasks such as proofreading documents and arranging meetings.
The work pace of the Provincial Party Committee Secretariat is tight and busy, and overtime is often required.
Some leaders have extremely high requirements for the quality of speeches, and often need to revise them repeatedly. However, Qi Tongwei is an exception. With his rich experience as a department director in his previous life, he is very familiar with the expectations and needs of leaders for speeches.
Therefore, the speeches he wrote usually only needed two or three revisions before they could pass the review smoothly, winning a lot of praise.
If the leaders didn’t all have their own secretaries, Qi Tongwei would definitely have been asked to leave.
Opportunities come to those who are prepared. After Secretary Li of the Provincial Party Committee and the Governor read the research reports submitted by the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee and the General Office of the Provincial Government, the one that impressed them the most was the research report submitted by Qi Tongwei.
For this purpose, the two of them sent this report to the expert group for everyone to study.
The experts of this period were different from some later experts who sought fame and reputation. Most of them were capable and had a strong sense of patriotism.
After reading Qi Tongwei's research report, I don't know whether it was based on his identity background, but I did not deliberately belittle it and gave a truthful evaluation.
However, the two leaders are not completely ignorant, and they dare not speak too recklessly.
Subsequently, Secretary Li Baoguo of the Provincial Party Committee made a bold move and carried out reforms using Handong Shagang Group as a pilot.
Seeing how outstanding Qi Tongwei was, he specially asked Qi Tongwei to join his secretarial team to be responsible for some of the written staff work.
The political acumen of these people in the Provincial Party Committee Office are definitely not ordinary people. They are all well-trained and smart. They promoted Qi Tongwei out of the ordinary and did him a favor.
Qi Tongwei joined the work in July 1992. In principle, one can be promoted to deputy director after working for five years. Now he has been promoted to deputy director as an exception and has not been working for five years. He must thank the person who made the promotion decision.
It was very rare to see such a young deputy director, and for a moment everyone looked at him differently.
Everyone knows that as long as nothing goes wrong, the future of this person will be limitless.
As the saying goes, people feel refreshed when good things happen to them. Before Qi Tongwei could finish being happy, good news came again: ICQ was successfully developed. After testing it, Qi Tongwei made a few small suggestions and asked them to make some modifications.
Pei Qianqian was also extremely happy. She had originally been worried that the domestic Internet was lagging behind and that research and development would not be successful.
As early as two months ago, she registered many companies in Panama, the Virgin Islands and other places in accordance with Qi Tongwei's request, and implemented cross-holding.
Otherwise, ICQ would definitely not be able to operate in the Ugly Country. Just look at the operations of Lao Chou in later generations.
However, Qi Tongwei did not plan to hold on to ICQ forever. He knew very well that once it grew bigger, it would definitely be investigated, and at that time it would not be possible to hide it from the Ugly Country.
The best option is to sell the company to a large company in the United States when the company is nearly developed, raise some money through listing, and then sell the company to make a big profit.
His own ICQ was actually destined to be established in China to replace the later QQ. He had already named it Tongxun, with the penguin icon and QQ as the abbreviation.
In this life, he has to plan ahead and must not be like in his previous life, where all the dividends were basically taken away by foreign capital.
Of course, he does not intend to enjoy the profits alone. Once he reaches a higher position, he can set up an investment fund in a government department and invest in companies such as Alibaba, Baidu, and Xiaomi.
But it is easier said than done, and I don’t know when it will be my turn to govern a region.
