After class, Liu Huanyi returned to the rental house and the landlord was already waiting at the door.
"Xiao Liu, why did you come back just now?"
The landlord looked Liu Huanyi up and down. Although he was young, he had a lot of ideas. He actually contacted him and wanted to rent another house.
Liu Huanyi opened the door and let the landlord in. After all, it was a matter of money and it was not easy to talk about it outside.
As soon as the door was closed, Liu Huanyi came straight to the point and said, "Please rent the apartment upstairs to me as well."
"You rent two units at once? Can you live with them?" The landlord looked at her suspiciously.
Liu Huanyi looked at him calmly, "Just tell me whether you want to rent it or not."
She had not originally planned to live in this house, but this one fits her perfectly, so she planned to rent the one upstairs as her base.
The landlord thought about it and realized that Liu Huanyi usually paid the rent quickly and without much trouble. Such a good tenant was hard to come by. As long as Liu Huanyi could pay the rent, who cares what she used it for?
"Okay, it's still the same rent as this one. Whatever we do with this one, we'll do with the one upstairs as well."
"Um."
Liu Huanyi asked the landlord to prepare the contract and pay him the deposit and rent together when signing the contract.
After the deal was settled, the landlord left.
After taking a short rest, Liu Huanyi contacted Liu Ze without stopping.
"Huanyi, why do you think of your brother today?"
As soon as he answered the phone, Liu Ze's affection was beyond words.
"Is the money not enough? I'll give you some more."
"No need!" Liu Huanyi hurriedly stopped him, "Brother, I want you to do me a favor."
"What?"
"Please send my four computers over here."
Liu Ze agreed immediately, "By the way, the stock you asked me to buy last time has gone up in price. Do you think I should take advantage of the situation and increase my position now?"
"don't want."
Liu Ze paused and asked in confusion: "Why? Aren't you making money?"
"If you sell your stocks and exchange them for cash, no one will notice. If you increase your holdings, it will arouse suspicion. Play the long game to catch the big fish. This little money is just a sweet treat now."
Liu Ze was stunned, but he felt that what she said made sense.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
"Yeah, hung up."
Liu Ze stopped her, "Wait, did mom tell you? I'm going to Beijing to discuss a project in a few days, and I'll come to see you while I'm there."
"Yes."
Liu Huanyi fell on the sofa, looking at the ceiling comfortably.
When Liu Jin comes, she can act coquettishly again.
"I want to go see you with my mom, too."
"Do you have time?" Liu Huanyi smiled. Liu Ze has as much work as Liu Jin, so it would be too troublesome for him to come to Beijing specially.
"Even if you don't have time, you have to make time. I miss my baby sister."
"Come when you have time."
Liu Ze wanted to chat more, but Liu Huanyi said he was too tired and hung up.
On the other side, Huo Yuli was in a meeting.
"Mr. Huo, our chat system is not currently sufficient to support the chat needs of users. We have urged it many times, but the technical department has not responded yet."
The head of the technical department immediately slammed the table and stood up, "What did you say?! It's because the funds are not in place. If the Ministry of Finance gives us enough funds, we can develop a new plug-in in minutes."
"What does it have to do with funding? Are all the software in the world made with money? If you can't write code, you blame the money. It's useless!"
Everyone was arguing at the same time, the argument was getting intense.
Huo Yuli's expression became increasingly ugly, and he finally slammed the table when he could no longer bear it.
"I want solutions, not blame."
Huo Yuli's face darkened like a black-faced demon, and no one dared to speak.
The atmosphere in the meeting room was freezing cold, and Huo Shu quickly tried to smooth things over.
“In fact, we don’t necessarily have to develop it ourselves.”
Everyone looked at Huo Shu, but he was looking at Huo Yuli.
It was not until Huo Yuli signaled him to continue that Huo Shu began to tell the story.
"We can choose to cooperate, such as introducing a software from another company, or directly acquire it."
"But if we acquire the company, won't it make our company look too low? We can't even develop the information-carrying function of our own software." The director of the technical department pushed his glasses and did not agree with Huo Shu's proposal.
Huo Shu counterattacked with a powerful move, "Then why don't you develop one?"
"I told you, we didn't develop it because we didn't have enough funds!"
Seeing that the problem was about to return to the starting point, Huo Yuli interrupted them.
“Do you have any software recommendations?”
Huo Shu was well prepared. He clenched his fists and said excitedly, "I have been observing for a long time. There is an app called kid on the market. I think it is good."
The director of the technical department frowned: "Kid? What kind of software is this? I have never heard of it."
"This software is very niche and new. It's normal that most people haven't heard of it. As the director of the technical department, how could you not have heard of it?"
Huo Shu looked at him questioningly, and Huo Yuli also glanced back.
"I want to know, too. I pay you such a high salary and ask you to monitor all the software on the market, and you tell me you have never heard of it."
The director of the technical department was sweating profusely. "Mr. Huo, please listen to my explanation——"
"No need to explain. Come to my office after the meeting." Huo Yuli looked at Huo Shu, "Uncle, please continue."
"As far as I know, the reason why this kid is so niche is that the developer has limited the number of downloads. If you want to download this software, you have to enter a key-like password."
“How many users are there now?”
"Only four."
The head of the technical department retorted as if he had caught Huo Shu's sore spot, "What kind of software is this if it only has four users!"
"You're a software developer and you don't even know about internal testing? This software has only had four users since its development, which means these four people are their internal staff."
“…”
The head of the technical department was speechless and shut up in dismay.
Huo Shu looked at Huo Yuli and said, "Mr. Huo, I think this software is very suitable for our current needs. We can consider cooperating with them. Especially now that the software is still in the early stages of testing, it is a good time for us to invest."
"Not only do I want to acquire it," Huo Yuli leaned forward and said with determination, "Go find a way to find the founder of this software. I want to talk to him."
"What?"
Everyone stared at Huo Yuli, wondering if the boss was trying to poach him to join the company.
"We can talk about anything. Cooperation or acquisition. Since he can develop this software, he must be able to write software that matches our company's needs."
Huo Yuli was extremely curious about this developer, "I must meet him."
Huo Shu advised him: "You'd better not have too high expectations. As far as I know, this software developer's whereabouts are secretive, and even his team is elusive. No one knows whether he is a man or a woman and where he is from."
"One day we'll know." Huo Yuli was very confident. As long as the conditions offered were generous enough, would he be afraid of not meeting the real person?
