Not long after Cao Mang finished his speech, the food began to be served in the hotel, and the dinner began.

"Xiao Cao, I want to consult you about digital government affairs. If I want to convert all the existing governments in Shenzhen City into digital government affairs, how much will it cost?" Brother Yi said while eating vegetables.

asked.

He will have a chance to be promoted next year. If he can achieve new political achievements, then his chance of promotion will be even higher.

"Competition in software development is not very fierce at this time, so the price of software development is relatively high. If all needs to be converted, it is expected to cost about 200 to 300 million. However, such an upgrade will be used forever," Cao Mang replied.

road.

Is two to three hundred million expensive?

The price is really expensive in this day and age.

In this era, the software industry is not as large as in later generations, and there are not as many software development orders as in later generations.

It is normal for software companies not to open an order for three to five months, so many software companies have gone bankrupt because they cannot receive orders.

In order to survive, companies that can receive orders have to raise their prices. As the saying goes, if you open in ten years, you will eat in ten years.

The price Cao Mang estimated for him was quite low. If the people below tried to eat another portion, the overall price would need to double again.

Or maybe quadruple?

hehe.

But nothing is impossible in this day and age.

After all, there was an incident back then where Ihpone was purchased as a portable hard drive.

Brother Yi lowered his head, put the fish meat into his mouth and chewed it, then put down his chopsticks and asked: "Xiao Cao, if I give this project to you, Qilin Software, how much money will you need to complete it?"

The reason why Brother Yi chose Qilin.

That's because he felt that Qilin could get the job done for the least amount of money. After all, Cao Mang's worth would not make him unhappy because of such a small amount of money.

“Brother Yi, it’s against the rules to hand over the project directly to Qilin. How about we go through the bidding process?

Of course there is another way, Kirin creates digital government affairs for Shenzhen City for free, but Kirin has a requirement." Cao Mang said.

Everyone at the table was very surprised by Cao Mang's answer.

What exactly does Cao Mang want to do?

Let's not talk about giving up hundreds of millions of profits. If you openly make demands on Brother Yi, you are not afraid that we will report you.

Shouldn't this kind of thing be said privately and secretly?

Brother Yi was very satisfied with the first half of Cao Mang's answer. If he were the boss of another company, he would have agreed long ago.

However, the second half of what he said surprised him. Cao Mang was actually willing to develop the system for them for free.

He was very curious about Cao Mang's request, but he could agree to it as long as it didn't violate his principles.

"Open the interface of these government affairs services to Kirin Entertainment. When users handle these services, in addition to handling them on the websites of various departments, they can also handle them directly on Kirin Universe, just like Kirin Property." Cao Mang replied.

road.

Cao Mang had already left the matter of developing convenience businesses to Nie Lu, but the progress on his side was very poor.

The main reason was that Cao Mang also understood that the other party was unwilling to do it without oil and water.

Cao Mang would rather take on this job for free than talk to them about oil and water matters. Some things would be very troublesome to settle accounts after the fall.

He doesn't want to leave any clues to others. Now that Qilin is getting bigger and bigger, it will be very troublesome if anything happens.

"Xiao Cao, can you ask me the reason?" Brother Yi asked curiously.

"Brother Yi, it is said that it is easier to conquer a country than to maintain it. If Qilin wants to retain its existing customers, it must provide more and more convenient services.

It may seem like Kirin is losing 200 to 300 million by building this system for the municipal government for free, but in fact it is a profit for Kirin Entertainment.

Because the cost of regaining a customer is very high, it is better to actively retain the customer than to regain the customer.

This will cause less loss to Qilin," Cao Mang replied.

After hearing Cao Mang's explanation, everyone at the table suddenly realized and understood the gap between themselves and Cao Mang.

With Kirin Entertainment's current status, it doesn't even have a viable opponent. Even the mate who recently settled in China is no match for Kirin.

If it were them who were in charge, they would think about how to expand their territory. As for whether customers would be snatched away in the future, they would not worry at all.

They found that Cao Mang had a different idea. Cao Mang was not thinking about expanding the territory, but thinking about how to keep users and avoid the possibility of users being snatched away.

No one would do this, but Cao Mang traveled from later generations, and his views on the Internet are different from theirs.

Once we reach the era of capital, as long as capital is willing to spend money, it will be very simple to steal customers.

Therefore, it is the most appropriate choice for Cao Mang to consolidate his foundation at this time.

Of course, this is not just to consolidate the foundation, but also to monopolize value-added services for people's livelihood, so that all Chinese people cannot do without Kirin Universe.

"And Kylin Entertainment also needs a pilot project. Once Shenzhen City becomes Kylin's first pilot project, I believe it will be much easier to develop other cities." Cao Mang added.

Brother Yi nodded happily after hearing Cao Mang's explanation.

"In that case, I will do as you say. I will submit a proposal to the superior. Once the proposal is approved, the project can be implemented." Brother Yi nodded.

Motorola Headquarters in Lighthouse Country

Theo Walton and Edward Zander were sitting at the tea table in the office.

There were two cups of hot coffee on the table, which the secretary had just made and brought to them.

Edward Zander took two pieces of sugar from the sugar cup, put them in and stirred them, then asked: "The sales of the company's products in China are getting worse and worse. If this continues, the entire market will be lost. Do you have any solutions?

"

"President, if you want to take back China's market, you must cut off their roots, otherwise we won't be able to take it back at all." Theo Walton replied.

"Cut the roots?" Edward Zander murmured, looking at the sky outside the window.

How to cut off the unicorn's roots?

Edward Zander turned his attention to Theo Walton and asked: "How to cut off their roots?"

"Let SMIC stop manufacturing for them." Theo Walton replied.

Edward Zander was deep in thought. Behind SMIC was China, and it was not easy to get the other party to stop manufacturing for Kirin.

"Don't you know who is behind SMIC?" Edward Zander asked.

"I know." Theo Walton nodded.

"Now that you know who is behind it, do you think it's still possible?" Edward Zander asked.
