Homecoming of Rebirth

Qi Lei lowered his head and pondered, "I think, I will think about it carefully."

"However!" The conversation changed, and he smiled at the two of them: "I think you should have a little confidence in your boss, do I look like an impulsive idiot?"

This was a joke, but Bob and Mei Li were obviously not in the mood to joke, and said seriously: "Of course we believe you, Qi! It's just that we really can't figure it out this time."

"This decision is too inappropriate." Speaking of this, Li Meili also joked, "So much so that we have to wonder whether the Boss is not awake or is dazzled by the victory."

"Okay!" Qi Lei was convinced, so he had to give the two of them a reason to make them feel at ease.

"Bob, Mei Li, I understand your feelings, and I also know that you are all for the development of Sanshi."

"But! First of all, I want to emphasize that we are a serious company. Nothing that Washington is worried about will happen to us. I can assure you of this."

The two, "..."

Qi Lei, "Secondly, I can give you some answers, maybe you can understand."

"First, I am a Chinese, and this cannot be changed. In addition to the interest factors you mentioned, I actually hope to do something for my country through myself, even if it is just to let the world understand China. "

With a bright smile, "I think there is nothing wrong with it, isn't it? There is no need to cover up, let alone being sensitive."

The two nodded, this explanation makes sense.

As Qi Lei said, he is Chinese, this is an objective fact and cannot be escaped.

Bob, "Well, boss, I respect your country and your choice!"

Qi Lei, "No, no, I haven't finished yet."

"Second, part of this decision is actually due to the consideration of the company's development."

Bob frowned in confusion, "Company development? Please explain clearly."

Is this for company development?Obviously not doing any good.

Qi Lei said with a smile: "You two, as bosses, we consider issues from different perspectives."

"What you see is the current difficulties, but I want to look at the development of North American Sanshi from a higher perspective. Isn't it?"

The two nodded, indeed, "Is there any difference?"

Qi Lei, "The difference is huge! In the short term, this is indeed not a wise choice. But in the long run, maybe we have to take this step."

Two people, "????"

Qi Lei, "First of all, we are a company with a Chinese-funded background, and China is an unavoidable topic."

"Secondly, whether it is Penguin now or the smart phone business that is gradually on the right track, linkages with Chinese companies, Chinese culture, and Chinese people will be indispensable in the future. This is unavoidable. We will eventually be targeted by Washington, and eventually will be guarded against."

Continued: "If we are careful everywhere, consider whether it is sensitive or not, whether it will offend Washington, and avoid some things, then our work will be extremely difficult."

"So, while our business is not too complicated and we can handle it even if something goes wrong, why don't we just express our attitude to Washington."

The two frowned and pondered, as if they understood Qi Lei's intentions.

Qi Lei, "There is an old saying in China, that says, if you are upright, you should not be afraid of the oblique shadow."

"There is another saying that long-term pain is worse than short-term pain."

"Since we haven't done anything that harms the interests of the United States, why do we have to cover it up? Tell Washington, where is our measure. Even if the Chinese plate is established, I personally have no intention of taking advantage of this window to do anything useful. Behaviors of a propaganda and agitation nature."

"So, as long as Washington accepts this standard, our future work will be relatively easy, at least not timid. Isn't it?"

Well, the two were persuaded by Qi Lei, maybe the boss really thinks farther than them.

From this point of view, this is indeed a good choice.

Bob, "We get it."

Qi Lei smiled brightly, "Thank you for your understanding."

"Alright then!" The two looked at each other, said goodbye and got out of the car.

Qi Lei didn't rush to start the car, he just sat in the car thinking about things.

Of course, Qi Lei would not change his mind because of Bob and Meili's objections.However, persistence is persistence, and the panic of the company is the problem.

I don't know how long it took, the employees were supposed to get off work, the underground garage started to be empty, Qi Lei simply got down and locked the car, and went to the office again.

When I walked to the door of the freight elevator, I saw a cleaning lady pushing two large trash cans stuck in the elevator door.

Qi Lei couldn't help but took a few steps forward to help her push out the trash can, and couldn't help but look at Auntie Cleaning twice.

If Qi Lei remembers correctly, the company's cleaning is outsourced to a cleaning company run by a Mexican, so they are all old Mo.

But the one in front of him has an oriental face, and he speaks Chinese.

"Thank you, young man, I'll do it myself!" Auntie thanked very stiffly in broken English.

While Qi Lei was helping, he replied: "It's okay." He used Chinese.

Because he has already recognized that Auntie's standard Chinese Mi language should be from China.

As soon as Auntie heard Chinese, she immediately became cordial and did not refuse anymore.

Help the aunt put the garbage in the designated place, and the two of them returned to the freight elevator.

Because the passenger elevator had to wait, Qi Lei simply took the freight elevator up.

Auntie thanked her while chatting, apparently bumping into a compatriot in a foreign country made her feel kind.

She went to work on the first day, hadn't returned to China for several years, and couldn't read American news, so she didn't know that the young man in front of her was the owner of this building.

In fact, this is the normal state of overseas middle-aged and elderly immigrants. They don't care much about politics, and because of language barriers and cultural differences, it is not easy to integrate into the local social circle, so they seem a bit closed and mysterious.

"Young man, which floor are we going to?"

Qi Lei smiled lightly, "The top floor."

"Oh." The aunt helped press the floor, and took a good look at Qi Lei.

There are only two kinds of people at the top, one is the company's executives, and the other is the high-paid technicians hired by Sanshi.

As for Qi Lei, he is not very old at first glance, so he is unlikely to be an executive, that is, those scientists who receive high salaries!

"Tsk tsk, so good at such a young age, your parents might be so happy!"

Qi Lei smiled awkwardly, and could tell that the old aunt didn't know him, so he thought, are you still happy?His mother had already begun to despise him for being too good, thus depriving her of the right to be the head of the family.

"Is Auntie new here?"

"Today is my first day at work!" Said enthusiastically, "My niece helped me find it, she is at Penguin on the seventeenth floor."

"Oh." Qi Lei understood, and said again: "You're old, it's great to enjoy life in peace, why bother to come out to work?"

Auntie, "I can't stay idle! Aren't we Chinese all like this? No one foreigners will enjoy working hard."

"Let's talk about it." With joy on his face, "It's a hundred dollars a day. You can't earn so much by doing anything in China!"

Qi Lei nodded and smiled awkwardly, "Indeed."

Auntie, "Young man, are you planning to stay here?"

Qi Lei, "No, I'll be back soon."

Auntie was puzzled, "How nice is this place?"

Unlike the later generations, people are alienated from each other and don’t like to meddle in other people’s business. The Chinese aunts of this era love to preach, “Look here, you earn a lot, and the benefits are good. If you get a green card, you won’t have to worry about it for the rest of your life.” gone."

"What are you doing back home? Did your parents send you out for nothing? Listen to your auntie and run to stay!"

He leaned closer to Qi Lei's ear, "I heard from my child that the boss of this company is Chinese."

"Isn't that just right? It's the same as working in China, but you earn US dollars. The salary is more than ten times higher than in China, right?"

"How good?"

Qi Lei still smiled awkwardly, "It's really more than..."

When Ah Mu heard this, he was even more motivated, "It's the same with my family. I do web design for others here, and the monthly salary is more than 8000 US dollars! If I return to China, it will cost [-] RMB, and I can't pay too much."

"It's still bitter haha."

Qi Lei nodded, feeling a little helpless.

Just when Auntie arrived at the Penguin floor, Qi Lei helped her push the tools down the elevator and waved goodbye.

But thoughtful!

……

Chapter 505 Three Dimensions

Auntie Cleaning's words were a bit harsh to someone like Qi Lei.But that's life too, and it makes sense.

Just like later generations, many people look forward to the high welfare and high income in the West, criticize the mismatch between domestic labor income and effort, and lament when China will have high welfare and high income.

Is there something wrong?That's right, people do what they want.

However, the logic is correct, and the vision is also correct. The fault lies in the cognitive gap.

This is not a simple question of who has better benefits than whom, but a question of why there is such a big gap between benefits and wages.

……

Back in the office, Qi Lei called Zong Baobao downstairs and Sister Kou, and asked them to prepare some things to come to his office, and he had to work overtime tonight.

After the two came up, Qi Lei assigned them the task of simply categorizing the content in the video library, and giving a simple explanation for each category.

The two were puzzled, "What are you doing with this thing? The category management of the video station has been done."

Qi Lei said: "To explain to the company."

When Sister Kou heard this, she was unhappy.

She knows that the company has been talking about the China sector for the past two days, but there is no need to give them a special explanation, right?

"You are the boss, so tired!"

Qi Lei smiled, "Do it!"

Seeing the two of them getting busy, I selected some representative video content from the video library and took them out for use tomorrow.

Being so busy until after eight o'clock, Qi Lei stretched his waist, looked at the time, and asked the two of them, "Do you want something to eat?"

Without raising their heads, the two said, "Arrange it!"

So, Qi Lei got up and went to the secretary's station outside to find the menu.He remembered that the secretary had a take-out menu from the pizzeria.

He just frowned when he opened the door.

It's a bit chaotic outside, several programmers in the technical department on the top floor are working overtime, they are still working at this time, and they are running to the penguins downstairs.

The director of the project department was pressing the elevator frantically while making a phone call.

Qi Lei thought, what's wrong?

Go up and stop the supervisor, "What happened?"

The supervisor saw that it was Qi Lei, "Boss, the secondary server of the Penguin community is down."

Qi Lei, "..."

At that time, I didn't care about the meal, so I followed the crowd downstairs to support.

how to say?That's the fucking thing about America.

Penguin's server business is handed over to IBM, and there is nothing to say about their servers.In addition, Qi Lei had a secret deal with IBM's Peng Mingsheng before, and gave them the server algorithm of Sanshi.

Therefore, in terms of technology and hardware, there is absolutely no problem.

The network service was handed over to a local communication service provider in Seattle. It was the local government of Seattle that Desheng helped to contact, and the cooperation was reached by the government.

Does it sound plausible?Government endorsement, local cooperation, both in terms of price and service, must be quite advantageous!

Well, there is a fart advantage!

This is the inertial thinking of the Chinese people, who believe that this is the case at home, and it is the same abroad.

But the actual situation is that this is not because you are begging the local government and owe a big favor to save money and effort for you.It is mandatory by the Seattle government, and you must cooperate with local companies.

Not only is it not cheap, but the broadband fee is at least 5% more expensive than Qi Lei's normal investment promotion cooperation, and the service quality is incomparable with domestic ones.

Low efficiency and high failure rate.
