There is already a negative distance between Cao Mang and Anne Hathaway. There is no distance left between the two. Moreover, both of them are still very young now, and the future is still unknown. It is better to cherish the two of them together.

Lighthouse Country August 29, 2003

Cao Mang asked Nie Lu to send the technical director You Zhirang from China, who has also arrived in the Lighthouse Country.

Cao Mang didn't expect You Zhirang to come so quickly. After asking, he found out that You Zhirang was a Harvard student. He joined Qilin Entertainment not long after returning to China. His study visa in the lighthouse country had not expired, so Nie Luren sent him to Qilin Entertainment.

Sent over.

Cao Mang asked Fang Zihan to rent him a house in Chinatown. He would stay in the Lighthouse Country for the next six months until Fang Zihan and others became familiar with the Pangu language and could operate normally before You Zhirang could return to the country.

Of course, Cao Mang will not treat You Zhirang badly. In addition to Qilin Universe paying him a salary, meta will also pay him another salary. This salary is calculated in US dollars.

The arrival of You Zhirang gave Cao Mang a new idea.

"I want to take advantage of this party to establish my reputation as a meta in one fell swoop." Cao Mang held a small meeting with everyone after the rehearsal in the morning.

"Boss, what are you going to do?" Fang Zihan asked.

"Boss, you say it, we will all listen to you." Xue Zhihe and Bridger Cobain said.

"First of all, our band has been renamed meta. Doesn't everyone have any objection to this?" Cao Mang looked at a few people and asked.

A few people nodded and said nothing.

"The meta code is already available, and we still need to convert Chinese into English. With just a few of us, we don't know how long we will be busy. Xue Zhihe contacted the overseas students in China. It doesn't matter whether they can write code, as long as they can translate.

, let them go to work tonight, we will give them double the salary, and the translation department needs thirty people." Cao Mang looked at Xue Zhihe and said.

Seeing a dentist in a lighthouse country is very expensive. If you want to find a cheap dentist, you can only go to Xue Zhihe, and Xue Zhihe gradually became popular in the study abroad circle.

Xue Zhihe's interpersonal relationship in school is stronger than that of Luo Changming and Fang Zihan.

"Boss, don't worry, leave this matter to me." Xue Zhihe nodded.

"Bridger, go rent an office in a software park in Silicon Valley. You want one that you can move in just by bringing your bag. The Internet will be connected by tomorrow morning at the latest." Cao Mang looked at Bridger and said.

"Boss, I also have a share in the company. I just need to pay the money first, and I will reconcile it with the finance department later." Bridger nodded.

"Fang Zihan and You Zhirang went to purchase servers and computers. They need thirty computers and thirty servers. I want to see these things in the office tonight." Cao Mang looked at Fang Zihan and said.

Cao Mang had made some calculations in his mind. The company had just started and the meta reputation was not high. Thirty computers and thirty servers were enough. After the company was established, it would not be too late to add more servers.

"Boss, no problem, I'll do it now." Fang Zihan replied.

"Then what should I do?" Luo Changming asked, pointing at himself.

"You go with Bridger and help review the contract." Cao Mang thought for a while and said.

After Cao Mang arranged the work, everyone went to do their own things.

Cao Mang took Anne Hathaway to a sportswear store in Chinatown to buy clothes. He wanted to customize a T-shirt with the meta LOGO printed on it for the band.

...

After the Internet bubble in 2001, many Internet companies in Silicon Valley collapsed, leaving many software parks and offices empty.

Bridger Cobain and Luo Changming found a real estate agency.

Rob Massey from the agency saw the two people parked in front of the store.

"Good afternoon, gentlemen, my name is Rob Marseille. This is my business card. How can I help you?" Rob Marseille took the initiative to walk out of the store and greeted him warmly.

"We're looking for an office, about five thousand square feet, that you can just drop in and move in," Bridger Cobain said.

"There are a lot of offices with five thousand square feet, but none of them want to move in directly." Rob Massey shook his head.

Due to poor business, Rob Marseille has memorized all the company's real estate listings by heart.

"It doesn't matter if the area is larger. The most important thing is that you can move in with your luggage, and it is best to have broadband installed." Luo Changming said.

"There is an office in the Gilf Building that is suitable for two people, but the area of ​​that office is a bit large. It has an area of ​​10,000 square feet." Rob Massey said.

"How much does rent cost per square foot?" Bridger Cobain asked.

"Fifteen dollars a square foot," Rob Massey said.

(1 square foot = 0.09290304 square meters, 10,000 square feet = 929.0304 square meters.)

"This price is a bit expensive. The office in the Software Park is only US$78 per square foot." Bridger Cobain frowned.

"Gentlemen, Gilf Building is a high-end office building, different from the offices in Silicon Valley Software Park, and this office perfectly meets the needs of both of you.

The tenant of this office went bankrupt due to financial problems, the office furniture inside has not been moved, and the network is connected normally. As long as you pay him a small amount of money, you can move in directly to the office," Rob Massey said.

.

"Take us to have a look." Bridger Cobain and Luo Changming looked at each other and said.

"No problem," Rob Massey said.

Bridger Cobain and Luo Changming came to Gilf Tower under the leadership of Rob Marseille.

The office is on the ninth floor of Gilf Building.

After Rob Marseille turned on the light in the office, he scratched his finger on the desk, stretched it out in front of the two men and said: "The two gentlemen can see that the office is very clean, and the company's employees also take away their personal belongings.

Already."

It is naturally impossible for Bridger Cobain and Luo Changming to just believe Rob Marseille's lies.

The two of them conducted a simple inspection of the office. The office was indeed tidied up very quickly, and the desks and chairs were also very new.

"The computer room is equipped with a 100-megabit broadband and air conditioning, and the fees have been paid until the end of this year," Rob Marseille introduced the two people to the computer room.

"Bridger Cobain, this office is very nice, but the price is a bit expensive." Bridger Cobain pulled Luo Changming aside and said.

"Let's call the boss and ask him to see what he means, and then we'll come to him to bargain," Luo Changming said.

"I think this is a good idea." Bridger Cobain nodded.

Rob Marseille saw Bridger Cobain pulling Luo Changming away.

Rob Marseille was panicking. He finally found a suitable client. The business wouldn't be ruined because of this. This office was a hard target given to him by the company. If he couldn't sell it, he would lose his bonus this month.
Chapter completed!
