"Haha, are you following the Queen's orders? Quite a few words," the general sneered.
"No, no, I will always be loyal to the general. Whatever the queen wants me to do, I will ask you for your instructions." Mr. E broke into a cold sweat and said respectfully.
"No need!" The general waved his hand and said with a smile: "You are confusing right and wrong by doing this. How can I, a little general, dare to override the queen?"
"General, my life belongs to you, and I have long been determined to swear allegiance to you." Mr. E knew that he had made a stupid mistake and could not call Alice "Queen" in front of the General. Although "Queen" was just her code name,
Just because of the meaning of this code name, it can surpass the general.
"Really? Then why did you come to me this time?" the general asked.
"Just now...just now the queen, no no, it was Ms. Alice. She gave me a secret letter, saying it was written by the vulture to you." Mr. E took out a white envelope from his pocket and said in a deep voice.
"Have you seen it?" The general turned his back to Mr. E, still holding the chess piece in his hand, and seemed a bit undecided.
"I haven't read the letter that the Vulture wrote to you. Even if I had the courage, I wouldn't dare to read it!" Mr. E said seriously.
"It doesn't matter. You can open it now and read it to me. I don't have time to read it." The general finally dropped the chess piece.
"This..." Mr. E seemed very hesitant.
"Open it quickly and read it to me. There are only two of us in the room. Are you still worried about the leakage of information?" The general's tone became cold.
"Okay, I'll read it!" Mr. E opened the envelope with trembling hands, took out the letter inside, and looked carefully, there was only a short sentence on it -
"Exchange Chu Tianfeng for SGF!"
"That's it?" The general paused for a moment and asked in a deep voice.
"Yes!" Mr. E put the letter on the table respectfully.
The general glanced at the content of the letter and said calmly: "Xiaowei, help me analyze what this letter means?"
"I heard that a major breakthrough has been made in the development of SGF. A large number of resurrection factors have been isolated from living organisms. A white mouse used in the experiment was artificially euthanized ten years ago. The body was well preserved and was preserved in the sterile and extremely cold environment.
After the environment was frozen for ten years, SGF resurrection factor was injected, and within 12 hours, the mice returned to their original state," Mr. E said.
"What do you mean by Vulture, let me capture Chu Tianfeng and give it to Vulture in exchange for SGF resurrection factor?" the general asked coldly.
"Yes." Mr. E nodded and said.
"Haha, why should I believe what he says? I can only believe it if I see it with my own eyes." The general sneered.
"Mr. Vulture invites you to go to the experimental base and he will demonstrate it to you personally." Mr. E said.
"Okay, let's go now." The general said solemnly.
After the Spring Festival, Tianfeng Group officially expanded into the software industry in accordance with its established development goals. The first step was to make a big splash in input method software.
Nowadays, many Internet companies do not see the potential commercial value of input methods. They only focus on immediate benefits and believe that input methods do not have the conditions for charging and have no fixed profit model, so they have basically given up on in-depth development of this field.
"In future Internet business competition, terminals are very important."
Chu Tianfeng recalled an interview he saw in his previous life with a celebrity focusing on the future development of the Internet. The future of the Internet lies in the terminal.
In the era of keyboards, input methods were the basic way for people to communicate with computers and enter the Internet world. Therefore, if you want to occupy the terminal, you must be good at input methods.
Chu Tianfeng plans to use the input method as a springboard, and also develop search engines and browsers to seize the opportunity in this battle for terminals...
"Mr. Chu, this is the beta version of the Yaoguang Pinyin input method. Please use it first and make some suggestions." Gu Xiao, general manager of Yaoguang Company, came to Chu Tianfeng's office and presented the company's latest research and development results.
"Well, let me try it." Chu Tianfeng installed this input method into the computer, opened a word document at random, found a file, and started typing quickly.
The first thing you see is the input method interface, which has basic functions required by the input method such as switching between Chinese and English, half-width and full-width, and soft keyboard.
"Mr. Chu, what do you think? Is there anything that needs improvement?" Gu Xiao asked tentatively.
"I think it's okay, at least it's much faster than smart abc typing." Chu Tianfeng nodded and smiled, and said seriously: "But we still need to continue to improve the intelligence of the local database, update the vocabulary through the network, and use search technology to improve the vocabulary.
Library, this is the most important development direction of input methods at present."
"Well, this is just a beta version at the moment. The updated version in the future will be even more intelligent." Gu Xiao said.
"The ideal thing is to adjust the vocabulary through the Internet, and the software and vocabulary can be automatically upgraded in the background without the need for users to actively upgrade. However, our current technology cannot meet this requirement," Chu Tianfeng said.
"We will work hard in this general direction." Gu Xiao said confidently.
"Does the company have enough R&D funds recently?" Chu Tianfeng asked with concern.
"Of course the more money, the better. Who can think of throwing away money?" Gu Xiaolang said with a smile.
"That's good. Next quarter, I will inject five million into your company, but this is the last time. I must come up with a complete profit plan for your software." Chu Tianfeng said seriously.
"Haha, I'm ready, please take a look!" Gu Xiao took out a planning document from the briefcase he carried with him and handed it over.
Chu Tianfeng smiled slightly and muttered to himself: "This General Manager Gu is really naughty. If I don't tell him to inject additional capital, he still hasn't come up with this plan!"
He opened the planning document and found that the development cost of the input method was lower than that of online games, but the business opportunities contained in it were huge.
"Give me a brief introduction!" Chu Tianfeng opened the planning book and asked with a smile.
"If input methods want to make money, they can only refer to the bidding ranking model commonly used in search engines." Gu Xiao said.
"PPC?" Chu Tianfeng was no stranger to this term, but he couldn't understand it deeply just by relying on his past life memories, so he could only ask with doubts.
"Haha, PPC simply means that users search for information through keywords." Gu Xiao patiently explained: "For example, when I enter a keyword, such as medicine, ten companies are displayed in the search engine.
Related to this, if it is only presented in the order in the database, it is an ordinary query..."
Chu Tianfeng didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and immediately said with a smile: "I understand, if one of the ten companies pays a sum of money to the search engine operator, when the search engine displays the search results, it will
Rank results relevant to his business at the top."
"Yes, if there is another company that also puts forward this demand, then who among the two companies will be in the front? The simple way is that whoever pays more money will be in the front. This is the simple principle of bidding ranking." Gu Xiao nodded.
Head, he said seriously.
"No wonder the two search engines, Google and Yahoo, have developed so rapidly recently."
"There is also Baidu, which has now become the largest Chinese search engine."
"Well, actually I also see that the search engine market has great prospects, especially the bidding system, which is simply a money-making machine! It's a pity that when I started my business, I didn't have so much money to develop search engines, so I could only develop websites and
I’ve got these two games.” Chu Tianfeng sighed…
"Haha, it's not too late to do it now. Didn't you say you would focus on software this year? Let's start with the input method first." Gu Xiao said with a smile.
"Well, as long as your input method can quickly seize the market, then I will invest another 10 million in you to develop a Chinese search engine!" Chu Tianfeng said seriously.
"Okay, I will definitely work hard." Gu Xiaolang said with a smile.
"By the way, tell me about the input method's bidding ranking?" Chu Tianfeng got to the point.
"Actually, the answer is very simple. As I said just now, we can refer to the bidding ranking model of search engines, constantly update the vocabulary and upgrade the software. It is equivalent to controlling the search rules. We can also use bidding ranking to make the bid higher.
The product names of enterprises and merchants are displayed at the forefront when users enter related words, and I have already written a detailed plan in the planning book." Gu Xiao said.
"Well, I understand. For example, if the user inputs "bd", according to the rules of the input method, it can be 'overbearing', 'beating'...'Baidu', etc. If Baidu Company pays us a sum of money, then
You can adjust "Baidu" from the vocabulary to the forefront. When the user enters "bd", the first thing that appears is "Baidu", followed by 'overbearing', 'beating' and so on, right?" Chu Tianfeng smiled.
asked.
"Yes, through the network input method, users' input habits can also be collected to lay the foundation for future search engines. Of course, all of this must have a certain user base." Gu Xiao said.
"Well, I know that without users, any bidding ranking is empty talk, but you can rest assured that our company's Bitao.com now has nearly 10 million users, and the BT chat software also has 5 million users. As long as it is promoted properly,
, Our input method is not worried about having no market." Chu Tianfeng said seriously.
As soon as he finished speaking, the security guard at the door called: "Mr. Chu, Mr. Chen from Brilliance Company wants to see you."
"Oh, please invite her to my office." Chu Tianfeng said.
"Mr. Chu, you are busy. I have gone back to the company. If you need anything, call me." When Gu Xiao saw that Chu Tianfeng was going to meet guests, he said all he needed to say, so he stood up and left.
"Okay, I won't give it away." Chu Tianfeng smiled slightly.
Not long after, the office door opened and Chen Xuewei walked in gracefully.
She was still wearing the iconic black professional suit, with flesh-colored velvet stockings wrapped around her slender legs, simple and slender black stilettos on her feet, and a down jacket to keep out the cold.
Chen Xuewei is very afraid of the cold, but unlike Murphy, who prefers style over warmth, she wears a professional suit and thin stockings at all times.
"Haha, Sister Xuewei, I haven't been here for a long time. How are you doing recently?" Chu Tianfeng stood up and said with a smile.
"It's okay." Chen Xuewei smiled faintly, but hesitated to speak. A bright blush appeared on her extremely beautiful face.
"Please sit down!" As soon as Chu Tianfeng saw her expression, he knew that something must be up, and it was hard to talk about, so he first made Chen Xuewei a cup of coffee and put it on the coffee table in front of her.
"Xiaofeng, I heard that your company recently developed an input method called Yaoguang, right?" Chen Xuewei asked with a sweet smile.
"Yes, the version just launched is a beta version, and the function is not yet stable." Chu Tianfeng sat opposite Chen Xuewei and said with a smile.
"Oh, I wonder if this input method is available on the market, can it be installed on the newly launched computers of our Huachen company for free?" Chen Xuewei asked softly.
"Haha, this is no problem. My Yaoguang input method itself is free. I need to cooperate with your company to seize terminals and expand the user base. It is best for all series of brand computers of your Huachen company to be installed by default when leaving the factory.
Yaoguang input method." Chu Tianfeng said with a smile...
"Okay, no problem." Chen Xuewei smiled slightly, took a sip of coffee, and applied a light lip gloss with an alluring luster.
"Sister Xuewei, it seems that this is not what you came to me to talk about? Is there something else in those words?" Chu Tianfeng felt that Chen Xuewei was always a little absent-minded when she spoke, and what she just said didn't seem to be the theme of her trip.
"Yes, I have other things to do." Chen Xuewei blushed.
"Just tell me if you have anything to say. We have been friends for many years. As long as I can do it, I will do my best." Chu Tianfeng said seriously.
"Then let me tell you, Xiaofeng, do you have time recently? Our Yunqiao Group is going to hold the 30th anniversary celebration of the group this Sunday, and we would like to invite you to attend as a special guest. After all, it was you who helped our group come back to life.
, my father has always wanted to thank you in person. He had a bad attitude towards you in the past, and he also wanted to take this opportunity to express his apology to you." Chen Xuewei said.
"There will be a celebration this Sunday? Is it in San Francisco?" Chu Tianfeng asked.
"Yes, I wonder if you can find time to participate? Excluding the one-day round trip, you will have to stay in San Francisco for at least two days." Chen Xuewei said quietly.
"I have to think about this carefully." Chu Tianfeng stared at Chen Xuewei's gorgeous and charming face and asked with a smile: "Sister Xuewei, do you want me to participate?".
"Of course I hope. My father sternly told me to invite you here!" Chen Xuewei paused and added: "If you really have something to do and can't get away, you don't have to go..."
"Haha, let me think about it, don't we still have three or four days? It won't take that much, I can reply to you tomorrow." Chu Tianfeng said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll leave first, you're busy!" Chen Xuewei stood up and said.
"Well, I'll see you off." Chu Tianfeng accompanied Chen Xuewei downstairs, took her directly to the gate of Tianfeng Group, watched her get into the car, and disappeared from sight.
He returned to the office again and carefully thought about what Chen Xuewei had just said. He remembered that his relationship with her father, Chen Shen, had always been tense. Last time he went to the United States, he had a big fight with him because of Chen Xuewei's affairs. Logically speaking, Chen Shen hated him. It was so deep in his heart that he took the initiative to invite him to attend the celebration of the founding of Yunqiao Group.
But then I thought about it, the so-called "Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi", now Yunqiao Group has been deeply imprinted with the Peng family. The Peng family group is its single largest shareholder and has a pivotal position.
Chu Tianfeng took into account that Chen Shen always tended to be in favor of others. After knowing the stakes, Chu Tianfeng must find a way to improve the relationship between him and himself. After all, the chairman of the Peng Group is Chu Tianfeng's mother.
Based on this analysis, it is reasonable for Chen Shen to invite him to attend the 30th anniversary celebration of Yunqiao Group.
However, Chu Tianfeng still has some doubts. This kind of thing is a normal interaction between the two companies. Why is Chen Xuewei always blushing and hesitant to speak? Is there something hidden?
Thinking of this, he hurriedly called and called Shen Jinfei in.
After more than a month of training, Shen Jinfei's injuries have long since recovered. Now he is hired by Chu Tianfeng as the security consultant of Tianfeng Group. Although he is only a consultant, his authority is greater than that of the director of the security department. Tianfeng Group He coordinates the safety and security work of all its industries.
"Xiao Fei, did you know that Mr. Chen from Caichen Company came to me just now? It's a lot of words," Chu Tianfeng asked with a smile.
"Well, what does she want from you?" Shen Jinfei asked.
"On behalf of the parent company Yunqiao Group, I am invited to participate in the 30th anniversary celebration this Sunday. Please help me immediately evaluate the safety risks of going to San Francisco this time and whether I should go there." Chu Tianfeng Said….
"Haha, there is no need to evaluate. There is basically no risk. If you want to go, you can go. If you don't want to go, don't go. There is no need to consider safety issues." Shen Jinfei blurted out without even thinking about it.
"So confident?" Chu Tianfeng's face showed surprise.
"Do you remember the last time you went to the United States to ask Zeng Xu to come back to help deal with the plug-in problem, and also met with the general. We stayed in the United States for a total of five or six days, and nothing happened?" Shen Jinfei said.
"Just because something didn't happen last time doesn't mean it's absolutely safe this time. I feel like I've been a bit lazy recently, so I have to be careful in everything I do." Chu Tianfeng remembered Lin Mingyu's warning and must not cause trouble again in the future. .
"It won't happen this time. As long as the general is here, no one will dare to touch you." Shen Jinfei said seriously.
"What if the general wants to touch me?" Chu Tianfeng asked with a smile.
"The general will not touch you." Shen Jinfei said.
"People are all subject to change. I know so many secrets of the General. How could he not be wary of me at all?" Chu Tianfeng asked rhetorically.
"It seems that you still don't understand him. You are the only bridge between him and the Chinese intelligence agency. If something goes wrong with you as the middleman, he will be digging his own grave. The relationship between the general and the Condor has been very tense recently. You The effect is even more obvious." Shen Jinfei said.
"In that case, there is a question I want to ask you. This question has been in my heart for a long time." Chu Tianfeng said with a smile.
