/*There are too many things to foreshadow in 2003, so our pace seems to be a little slower for a few chapters~~*/

{Time: June 9, 2003}

{Location: United States-California}

After Yang Zhiyuan saw Ning Zimo walking from the roadside, he greeted Li Ying and Zhang Miaoying first.

When holding Ning Zimo's hand again, Yang Zhiyuan joked:

"Zimo, most of the people here today are accompanied by their wives. You, the youngest and handsome guy, brought two beauties with you as soon as you appeared. You are so talented and beautiful, I really envy you.

~~"

In response to Yang Zhiyuan's teasing, Li Ying, who was familiar with him, responded with a generous smile.

But Zhang Miaoying, who had only met Yang Zhiyuan a few times, still felt a little hot on her face.

And Ning Zimo never thought that a dignified mute tiger chief who had only had few interactions with him would actually have such a "naughty" side.

He immediately looked helpless: "Jerry Yang, you asked me to attend these two partners by name. Now that you are teasing them like this, you are not afraid of making them run away in shame?"

Yang Zhiyuan laughed loudly when he heard this. When he let go of Ning Zimo's hand, he reached out and patted his arm and said, "Look, you still have too few contacts in the United States. I am obviously using you to praise Miss Li and Zhang."

The lady is young and beautiful."

Ning Zimo rolled his eyes unconsciously, and then realized that he was "used" by Yang Zhiyuan.

"Okay, we have dealt with each other several times, so we can avoid the red tape in shopping malls. After all, we both have the identity of flower farmers, so we can always have a natural sense of closeness.

So this time I invite you to attend this cocktail party, in fact, I have the intention of letting you, a young and talented flower farmer, appear in front of our colleagues in the Bairen Club.

By the way, I would like to introduce you to a few more members of our Bairen Club. Because you have great development potential now, maybe we will have some business contacts in the future."

Li Ying was very surprised when she heard this. When she was at McKinsey, she had been in contact with the big boss of Mute Tiger, who was of Chinese descent, and had heard more or less about the non-governmental organization behind them, Bai Renhui. She didn't expect that Yang Zhiyuan would do it this time.

When I invited my young partner, I actually had some such thoughts.

This is a very weighty recognition!

But Ning Zimo raised his eyebrows and could not help but murmur in his heart.

This seems different from the invitation he received from Yang Zhiyuan. Isn’t today the day when Yahu releases b2c?

Especially the Bai Renhui mentioned by Yang Zhiyuan, he had heard about it in his previous life.

This is a Chinese elite organization in the United States, which is composed entirely of flower growers who are influential and well-known in American society. The organization was founded in 1990 by famous American flower growers I.M. Pei, Yo-Yo Ma and others.

The Bairen Association is a non-political organization that plays a special role in promoting economic and social exchanges between the United States and flower gardening as well as cross-strait. Unlike many other flower gardening societies in the United States, the membership qualifications of the Bairen Association are very strict.

.Must be recommended by members and will only be accepted after being reviewed by all other members.

How old are you?

He has a lot of talent and a lot of business.

How could he have the qualifications to join the Bairen Club at this time? He never thought that contact with Yang Zhiyuan would bring such an unexpected surprise.

Probably understanding Ning Zimo's doubts, Yang Zhiyuan explained, "Tomorrow is the time when our dumb tiger officially holds the [ dumb tiger mall] press conference, because it is mostly a formality. So I prepared in advance for today's event

The cocktail party not only announced the news to friends, but also took the opportunity to get everyone together.

The skrpe you developed has developed so rapidly that it has become somewhat famous in our overseas flower community. Therefore, although these friends I introduced may not directly interact with each other, it is beneficial for you to get to know each other."

"Oh~~~Okay~~Thank you Jerry then"

Ning Zimo finally understood why the dumb tiger mall's press conference would become a private reception. In any case, he still wanted to thank the dumb tiger chief for his support. However, this was the first time he faced such a private reception, and he didn't

Any experience.

Will he stand at the door and accompany Yang Zhiyuan, or will he go in alone?

"Look, I'll let Miss Li and Miss Zhang go in first, and let them talk about the details of the [Asia-Pacific Procurement Center] first. Then you can wait with me at the door so that I can introduce it to you first.

A great master."

Yang Zhiyuan spoke with a hint of negotiation, which was quite polite given his current status. Ning Zimo glanced at the two partners beside him and nodded in agreement.

[Asia-Pacific Procurement Center] was proposed to Yang Zhiyuan last year when Ning Zimo proposed a complete b2c plan, and Yang Zhiyuan mentioned it to him.

Speaking of this plan, Ning Zimo always felt that most of it was because Yang Zhiyuan wanted to sell him a favor.

500w cooperation intention fee,

150w annual operating fee,

And a 1.5% bonus on purchases.

During several discussions between Zhang Miaoying and Li Ying and Yahu, this plan was actually officially launched in May this year when he was still in Bashu, and the person in charge was Lu Wensheng, who was transferred from the purchasing department of Jubao Trading Company.

In fact, the plan for this matter has been finalized since Li Ying arrived in the United States in November last year. By early June this year, the first list of suppliers and products had been officially submitted to the Yahu B2C Division.

So after all this calculation, the Emperor Penguin can now be considered a partner of the Mute Tiger.

But just like that, Ning Zimo still doesn't think he deserves Yang Zhiyuan to give him such courtesy because of these small things, right?

While Ning Zimo was thinking about these issues, Yang Zhiyuan had already called his secretary to take Li Ying and leave here.

After the three people left here, Yang Zhiyuan suddenly said, "Zimo has found a good partner. The abilities of Miss Li and Miss Zhang are obvious to everyone. Since your skrpe entered the United States in January, you have signed three contracts in succession.

For large operators, this caused a small sensation in Silicon Valley at the time.

If your skrpe headquarters were not in Europe, venture capital would have already broken through your threshold."

skrpe!

Only then did Ning Zimo realize the problem.

Jerry Yang went full circle and mentioned skrpe’s cooperation with telecom operators in the United States in January this year.

In fact, he should be more concerned about the cooperative relationship signed between skrpe and Yibei in December last year.

billion times to some extent,

He is the opponent of Yahu Mall!

Although Duhu has its own IM software - Duhu Messenger, the genes of Duhu IM software and skrpe are different.

So, what difficult problems did Yahu im encounter while learning the combination of skrpe and Yibi?

Ning Zimo frowned in confusion and asked curiously, "Jerry... what do you mean..."

"The call quality of skrpe has always been the best in the industry since it was launched on the market. Although the recently emerged bands are crowding out the skrpe market with cheaper and free services, skrpe is still leading the way in terms of call quality.

.”

The bandwidth mentioned by Jerry Yang is a new start-up company. They provide SIP trunking to business users who pursue cost-effectiveness and hope to have internal IP-PBX. Its phonebooth free and phonebooth ondemand products are directly targeted at small and medium-sized enterprises.

However, the two softwares owned by bandwidth have never caught Ning Zimo's eyes. Especially the current banwidth only provides customers with broadband-based voice services, and it will not have any impact on skrpe for the time being.

Moreover, their main brand is free. To a certain extent, they have followed the same path as skrpe in their previous life, and they will definitely encounter the problem of difficulty in developing profit points in the next stage!

Moreover, as Jerry Yang praised, the voice quality of Bandwidth is too poor.

Yang Zhiyuan praised Ning Zimo, but then quickly added, "In fact, we plan to embed voice customer service functions into Yahu Mall based on the billion-fold model. However, our technical team has tried the voice plug-in from gips company.

But even if gips company provides a full set of technical support, the voice function of dumb tiger messenger is still not as good as skrpe.

What we want to do at Yahu Mall is to provide the best service. So this time I would like to take the opportunity to ask Zimo, is there anything special about your skrpe voice technology plug-in? Then, whether it can be provided to Zimo on some basis.

Do we provide technical support?”

Yang Zhiyuan has always maintained a low profile in front of Ning Zimo.

This style is the main reason why Ning Zimo is willing to have in-depth contact with Yang Zhiyuan.

Now that Yang Zhiyuan has raised this question, Ning Zimo has no reason to reject it from any aspect.

This is a good time for Feixun Technology to officially come to the forefront. Zhuang Zhanpeng has been dormant for 2 years, waiting for this kind of opportunity.

Ning Zimo nodded and said with a smile, "Jerry, there is no problem with this. Because we use the voice decompression technology of a German start-up company, I can introduce it in the middle after I go back this time. This Feixun company should be very happy

If you can have customers like Yahu, let’s see if you let them take the initiative to contact your secretary or..."

Feixun is still an incubation project of Emperor Penguin, but except for [bing] and [skrpe], Ning Zimo is not willing to expose all his projects at this time.

Development in silence is the last word. Fame is meaningless to me for the time being!

Yang Zhiyuan saw that Ning Zimo had arrangements, and immediately smiled even more happily, "Then it's troublesome for Zimo, we will arrange this later."

Without waiting for Ning Zimo to react, Yang Zhiyuan grabbed Ning Zimo's arm and pulled him to face the same direction.

Ahead, a middle-aged man with glasses was walking out of a car parked at the door.

Looking over from a distance, Ning Zimo always felt that the man's face looked familiar.

When he came over, Ning Zimo realized that he was the one he wanted to contact.

"Come on, Kaifu, the founder of skrpe you have been praising is here. Let me introduce him to you."

Li Kaifu looked at Ning Zimo with interest and treated him a lot.

Finally, he stretched out his hand and said with a smile:
Chapter completed!
