During the dinner, Dongfang City’s Party Secretary and Mayor did not talk much about cloud computing and cloud storage centers. They talked more about the development of Fairy Company and its huge international presence.
reputation.
Xiao Qi was also very amusing, and all he said was good things about Dongfang. In addition, his completely equal attitude was not at all like a mentality of catering to his superiors. This meal was a real pleasure for the guests.
The young man naturally understood that these two people did not dare to talk about specific matters easily.
Because their identities are different, once they say it out, it will be loud and clear, and they cannot go back on it or revise it, otherwise it will have a huge impact on their prestige.
The only way is to leave the matter to the people below, such as Executive Vice Mayor Long Jiabang, and let him talk to Xiao Qi, so that the two of them can have room for maneuver and avoid a tense situation from the beginning.
Having reached the point where they have built this very novel cloud computing and cloud storage center, that is the icing on the cake, but it is definitely not the kind of help that is needed when the time is right.
At this position in Dongfang City, they don't have to worry about attracting investment or financial development at all, because the huge inertia has kept Dongfang City's operations in an orderly manner. If they can keep this inertia unchanged and continue to develop steadily, it will be a success.
A great achievement.
Therefore, the tea party the next morning after the dinner is the real highlight.
However, in the eyes of thoughtful people, tonight is also a very suitable time for activities, and it is also a very critical time!
If everything happens at the venue, then there will be no such thing as behind-the-scenes operations, let alone the emergence of so-called public relations companies.
Naturally, it is impossible for China to have an industry chain of one or two hundred thousand public relations personnel like the United States, but such things as behind-the-scenes operations can be found in any country.
The people who came to see Xiao Qi tonight all had the idea of "the first to get the moon near the water and the tower".
The first person to come was Zhang Xuedong, the district chief of Pudong New District. This high-ranking official, one of the few who can be promoted to deputy ministerial level cadre with the position of district chief, had already seen him in the morning. He was tall and big, and he looked like a soldier.
Pai has a loud voice and looks very bold.
The district party secretary and district mayor of Pudong New District are basically the most powerful figures after the municipal party secretary, mayor, first party deputy secretary, and executive deputy mayor.
Most deputy mayors are not as good as them.
When we came to pick up the airport today, among the 18 districts and counties in Dongfang, Long Jiabang did not take anyone with him. He only brought Zhang Xuedong. The meaning was already very clear. He hoped that Xiao Qi would put the cloud computing and cloud storage center.
In Pudong New District.
"Qi Shao, if you leave this matter to us, I promise to use the best conditions and the most favorable policies to welcome the cloud computing and cloud storage centers. Far better than those in the United States!" Zhang Xuedong promised,
As the mayor of the largest district in the East, he naturally has such capital and confidence.
There were no outsiders in the room, and Zhang Xuedong stopped talking about socializing and went straight to the hard stuff.
One of his secretaries gave a thick document, handed it to Xiao Qi, and explained to Xiao Qi: "Master Qi, we have prepared 1,000 acres of land for Fairy Company. In Chuansha next to the Huaxia Elevated Road
The town has very good traffic conditions. The eastern extension of Metro Line 2 can be reached directly. And it is close to the power plant, which can guarantee a 200,000-kilowatt power load for cloud computing and cloud storage centers. In terms of life, it is also very good there now.
The population is not too large, but all kinds of living and medical facilities are complete. If you need anything, we can start preparations immediately to ensure that the Fairy Company does not delay any retreat."
Next to him, Lin Mi, deputy director of Pudong New District in charge of land and urban and rural construction, followed the interface and said: "We have discussed the price of the land. If Dongfang City wants to invest in the cloud computing and cloud storage center, then the cost of the land will be included in the shares.
Among them. Including construction, infrastructure construction, etc., it occupies a total of 5% of the shares. And we will invest another 5 billion yuan to acquire 10% of the shares of this cloud computing and cloud storage center. What do you think?
Sample?"
The land in Dongfang City, even in 2008, even in the suburbs far away from the urban area and the prosperous area of Pudong, even after experiencing state suppression, it is impossible that one acre of land is only worth 2.5 million, let alone plus
Considering the construction and decoration costs, etc., the asking price of 5 million per acre is not an exaggeration.
Including cash, the Dongfang Municipal Government spent the equivalent of 10 billion yuan to buy only 15% of the shares of the cloud computing and cloud storage center. This gives it a valuation of 66.7 billion! It completely exceeds the cloud computing and cloud storage center itself.
value.
Of course, it is not worth that much money now, but in three to five years, the Dongfang City Government will find that it has made a very good deal.
Because the use of cloud computing and cloud storage centers will definitely bring huge benefits to the development of Dongfang's smart electronic city, which is more in line with its status and identity as an international metropolis. This is why the Dongfang City Government came to Xiao Qi.
But unexpectedly, Xiao Qi refused directly: "I'm sorry, District Chief Zhang, District Chief Lin, the cloud computing and cloud storage center cannot accept investment from the government."
"Why?" Zhang Xuedong was surprised. He was also at the dinner tonight, but Xiao Qi didn't mention it.
When doing things in China, don't you always work with the government, which makes it easier to do business?
Why does Xiao Qi still want to abandon the government?
"There aren't that many big principles, it's just a very practical issue. I originally planned to talk about it tomorrow. Since District Chief Zhang and you are here today, let's talk about it now." Xiao Qi said lightly, "If the government gets involved,
, who dares to say that their private information will not be monitored and eavesdropped by the government? A company is a company, and once it is involved in government matters, it will be a very bad thing for users."
Zhang Xuedong burst into laughter, "Qi Shao, are you thinking too much about this? Government supervision is a normal thing!"
"This is like this in China, but not abroad." Xiao Qidao: "If once someone discovers that we cooperate with the government and sell users' personal information, then the Fairy Company brand will be ruined directly.
From now on, no one wants to believe in the Fairy Company."
The current "Prism Gate" has not yet come out, but Westerners are very careful about the protection of their own privacy. A company's independent operation and serious protection of users' privacy are also important to them.
Companies such as Facebook, Twitter, Google, and Microsoft that will be in trouble in the future will cause an uproar because they opened backdoors to the government, causing users' privacy to be eavesdropped.
Fairy Company, an enterprise from China, must pay more attention to this point. Don't let the European and American governments get the handle, otherwise they will not hesitate to directly punish Fairy Company to the point of suffering, or directly split Fairy Company.
It’s possible for any company!
"That is also abroad, not at home." Zhang Xuedong shook his head and said, "I am not responsible for this, but Qishao, any situation that is out of supervision is abnormal... Fairy Company is so big, there will definitely be some problems from relevant parties
concern."
"I know." Xiao Qi nodded, "I don't care what they do, but if they take information directly from my server, I won't allow it!"
Zhang Xuedong and others immediately understood what Xiao Qi meant. Xiao Qi could not stop collecting information through other means, and he would not take care of it. But at least he had to be upright on the surface and could not be accused of being a "government surveillance collaborator".
"The name.
If it had been another domestic company, Zhang Xuedong would have scolded Xiao Qi angrily at this time, scolding Xiao Qi for "ignoring appreciation", but Xiao Qi said this as a matter of course.
Because Fairy Company cannot be regarded as a domestic enterprise at all, but should be regarded as a world-renowned international company. Naturally, its thinking is different from that of domestic country bumpkin. It is not the kind that just pounces on money.
But being directly rejected by others is still a bit uncomfortable for people in high positions like them.
However, this kind of discomfort is not dared to be expressed. Zhang Xuedong is a senior official at the deputy ministerial level. Yes, Niu Ruzheng and Yu Chengsheng behind Xiao Qi are both deputy ministerial level, dignified national leaders, and they are
two!!
With them here, who would dare to say or do anything about Xiao Qi's decision?
Xiao Qi looked at the hesitation on their faces and continued: "What I just said is the truth. If it is put on the official stage, first of all, the other two shareholders of the App Store will not agree. And
Think about it, there are so many foreigners in Dongfang City. If they find out that the cloud computing and cloud storage functions they use are actually being monitored by certain departments in China, what will happen to them?
What about anger? Most of them are not ordinary people. Are you sure you can absorb and cover this kind of international influence?"
When the young man said this, Zhang Xuedong immediately took a breath of air.
yes!
If it is really exposed, how these foreigners' mobile phones, computers, tablets work, what emails, chat messages, WeChat, etc. are sent, every move will be monitored by certain departments.
I'm afraid they will protest directly and fiercely, right?
This is not only a matter of personal privacy, but also a matter of company confidentiality. This is no joke.
You can come forward and say that I only monitor matters related to security, but can people believe it? Do you dare to believe it?
If this happens, doesn't Dongfang's entire reputation become bad?
In a city with a bad reputation, who else is willing to open a company and do business?
An international metropolis that has lasted for hundreds of years has been destroyed like this. Who dares to take this responsibility!?
Thinking about it, not only Zhang Xuedong, but also several of his capable men broke into cold sweats of fear. (To be continued...)
