Chapter 1543 Addictive Poison
"Software that can rival Microsoft?"
After Li Ye finished speaking, Qiu Bojun and Lei Bus couldn't help but exclaim.
But then, their eyes grew brighter and brighter.
Qiu Bojun couldn't help but lick his lips: "President Li, is what you're saying reliable?"
Li Ye said with a smile, "Don't ask me whether the information is reliable or not, just tell me if you have confidence in it!"
"As long as the company trusts us, we are confident."
"As long as there is a certain amount of funding to spend, we will certainly be confident."
Qiu Bojun and Lei Jun almost simultaneously shouted out what was on their minds.
They were both still very young, still full of passion, and still carrying on the dreams they had carried over from their student days.
"Catch up with and surpass Britain and the United States" was their childhood motto, and the Chinese tradition of "not being content with mediocrity" also gave them the obsession of "always striving to be number one." As the pride of the new era in mainland China, these two also have their own pride.
Software is about brains, not hardware. They may be good at it, but we are even better.
If you trust me, I'll fight them to the death!
Li Ye certainly believed in these two people. After all, in his previous life, they had turned WPS around and made it a success despite being betrayed by Microsoft and the company almost collapsing.
So after the two finished speaking, Li Ye nodded affirmatively and said, "Then I can tell you now that after the merger, Hong Kong Island Jinshan will definitely double its efforts in developing domestically produced software."
Whatever kind of support you want, as long as it's something you can buy and something you can create, whatever you want, we'll provide it.
“.”
Qiu Bojun and Lei Busi were stunned again. Looking at Li Ye at this moment, they suddenly felt the same way they did back in the ramen shop.
Is this guy a bragging conman?
[Looks like a scammer, but doesn't seem like one either!]
The two of them really couldn't understand what gave Li Ye the confidence to say, "I can have whatever I want."
Li Ye's observation skills were so sharp that he immediately saw through the two people's thoughts.
So he readily stood up and said, "Let's go! I'll show you around and let you see my determination, otherwise you'll think I'm just bragging!"
"No, no, how could that be!"
"Hehehe, really, Mr. Li."
Qiu Bojun and Lei Bus said "You've misunderstood," but their actions betrayed them. They immediately followed Li Ye out of the small canteen and only ate half a meal for lunch.
Those who can fight their way out of a crowd are all extraordinary individuals; they certainly wouldn't deliberately act pretentious just to save face.
However, after the two followed Li Ye out of the canteen, they did not visit the factory, but instead got into the car and headed straight for the western suburbs of Beijing.
Li Ye explained in the car, "Our R&D department at our branch factory has expanded over the past few years, and it's become too crowded in Haidian. So, starting last year, we began relocating to the western suburbs of Beijing."
"If you look at how much effort we've put into research and development, you'll understand how determined I am to create a domestic brand."
Qiu Bojun said frankly, "We just heard Section Chief Xiao mention this, saying that Factory Director Li is the most supportive of domestic products and attaches great importance to technology."
Li Ye chuckled and said, "Did she tell you to let me poach you guys from our branch factory?"
Qiu Bojun paused for a moment, shook his head, and gave an awkward smile.
Li Ye said, "Everyone in our branch factory likes people with technical skills, but your majors don't match up, so I won't try to lead you astray. People should do what they are best at. How can you, who are good at computers, also work on engines?"
"Hehehe, Mr. Li is right. But I've ridden in Beijing-branded minivans before, and they're no worse than imported ones. That's truly admirable."
"Hey, don't flatter me! There's still a difference between Beijing-made minivans and imported ones, and we're working hard to close that gap. So it's not terrible for us to fall behind; what's terrible is giving up or boasting."
"this"
The two programmers looked at Li Ye, who was only a few years older than them, and suddenly felt a sense of "why didn't we meet sooner?"
If we had met earlier, we could definitely have become friends, but is that still possible now?
Li Ye's position and the two men's prejudice against state-owned enterprises made them hesitant, since they had both been assigned to work in state-owned enterprises after graduating from university.
Then both of them resigned. So what were their impressions of the government?
Especially someone like Li Ye, who climbed the ranks at a young age, but he was the real villain behind the scenes, drinking and cursing!
So, wouldn't it be pointless to make friends with someone like Li Ye?
However, the two of them quickly lost interest in Li Ye, because after arriving in the western suburbs, they were completely stunned by the research and development base of the No. 1 factory.
The workshop was huge, filled with R&D personnel and equipment, but there was no trace of product production.
Both of them had worked at the same company, so they knew how much money this "only out, no in" model could burn. In the eyes of those old men, it was the behavior of spendthrifts.
"You are all college students of the new era, and you should be able to see the value of these devices. But I ask you to pay attention: the most valuable thing here is not the equipment, but the researchers who are working hard for the development of domestically produced goods."
Li Ye led the two through the R&D workshop, talking animatedly as they walked. His tone and wording were no different from those of the people they had met before who were "filling domestic gaps."
But the differences are huge.
The busy technicians in the R&D workshop, when they saw Li Ye, the group leader, would at most just smile and nod, but most of them would just keep to themselves and hardly anyone would greet Li Ye warmly.
This would have been impossible in the companies they had worked for before. If anyone dared to act so cryptically with the boss, they would not only have no chance of advancement, but would also have to go to the health department to reflect on their actions the next day.
[Let you clean windows for a few months first, and in the meantime, clean your eyes and temper.]
So it was only then that Qiu Bojun and Lei Jun realized that Li Ye's respect for talent wasn't just lip service, but something he truly meant by "playing for real."
Moreover, Qiu Bojun and Lei Jun were surprised to find during their visit that computer management was widespread in this R&D base; wherever computers could be used, they were all connected to computers.
"Mr. Li, you have computers here too!"
"Yes! The widespread adoption of computers is a major trend for the future, and we can't afford to fall behind."
The two programmers immediately got their hands itching, and Qiu Bojun said with a smile, "Can we take a look?"
Li Ye curled the corners of his mouth and said with a smile, "You can watch, but you have to sign a confidentiality agreement because we have regulations here, and you are not considered one of our own yet."
"Of course, we can sign."
The two young people readily agreed, completely unaware that they had already stepped into Li Ye's sweet trap.
Finding talent online is never about simply throwing money at them; it's about catering to their interests and making them eager to join in.
Being able to showcase one's skills to the public and gain praise and respect from those around them is a poison that is more addictive than money.
