A week flies by in an instant.

Li Jianghe received a call from Qi Hanyuan. He was quite efficient and found him. He made an appointment to discuss it in detail in the afternoon.

"Hello, dad?" Li Jianghe was walking on the way to class when he received a call from Li Jun.

"Son, I bought you a small gift," Li Jun's voice came, "Shunfeng Express, remember to collect it when you come back."

Shunfeng has been famous for its express delivery since its establishment in 1993. Of course, it was still slower than in the future. It was not until 2003 that it signed a contract with Yangtze River Express and became the first private express delivery company in China to use all-cargo planes. With tailwind speed.

"What gift? Dad," Li Jianghe said as he walked.

"Hey, after I said it, there are no surprises. Anyway, it's what you need." Li Jun chuckled.

"It's not a big deal, is it?" Li Jianghe asked warily.

"No, the packaging is not big, you must like it," Li Jun said.

"Okay, dad, I'm going to class first." Li Jianghe thought that if he was late for this class, the teacher would definitely have to ask him intensive questions for a while, "I'll fail first, dad."

"Go to class quickly." Li Jun hung up the phone.

"I thought you weren't coming again?" Wang Qi took his schoolbag away from the table to make room for Li Jianghe.

"F**k, what you said is the same as me not coming here." Li Jianghe took out his textbook.

The teacher teaching Introduction to Linguistics walked past Li Jianghe, thought for a while, then walked back and flipped through Li Jianghe's textbook: "Classmate Xiao Li, what did I talk about in the last class?"

"Um...the nationality of the language spoken?" Li Jianghe smiled awkwardly.

"Listen carefully to this lesson." The teacher returned the book to Li Jianghe and went to the podium to write on the blackboard.

"You said it as if you always come," Wang Qi said, smiling.

........

The place where I made an appointment with Qi Hanyuan was also a cafe.

Business is suitable for discussing business at the wine table, but for such high-tech talents, it is better to discuss business in a coffee shop.

When Qi Hanyuan led the people, Li Jianghe's jaw almost dropped.

"Senior Quan," Li Jianghe stood up, "We meet again."

"Ah? Ah, Li Jianghe, Mr. Li, I don't dare to be a senior, just call me Bolian." Quan Bolian was wearing a hoodie and his beard was not cleanly shaven.

"Bolian, are you okay?" Li Jianghe meant.

"It's just fine. I haven't had time to deal with this yet. I'm sorry, Mr. Li." Quan Bolian looked a little haggard, and his previous youthful and frivolous arrogance was clearly worn away.

"Hey, you can also call me Jiang He. We are not that serious. Let's go by the names in school." Li Jianghe handed over the coffee order.

All three of them ordered American food and sat down to chat.

Li Jianghe couldn't help but look at Qi Hanyuan and then at Quan Bolian.

This is both unexpected and reasonable.

Li Jianghe wanted to find a cheap and skilled computer talent to be his supervisor, but skilled people were not cheap at all, so Quan Bolian, who had just come out of the detention center, was a perfect fit.

Quan Bolian is quite famous in the local Internet circle in Yingtian. He used to be a hacker and often won money in hacker flag-pulling competitions. Later, he started his own studio and became less involved in the hacker circle.

Many technical amateurs are interested in hacking technology, and it is said that Xiao Ma has done it before.

But Quan Bolian's studio is not unknown, and high quality and low prices have always been his label.

Qi Hanyuan is an old senior at Yingda University, so it seems that it is not surprising to find Quan Bolian after searching for him.

Quan Bolian took the initiative to talk about his life in the detention center: "I was still young and frivolous. I thought I couldn't be found there, but I didn't expect that I didn't make much money. I ate a few bowls of prison food first."

"It's a good thing you didn't make much money," Qi Hanyuan said with a smile, "otherwise you wouldn't be able to get out for a while."

A few people chatted about all kinds of things for a while, and finally got back to the topic.

"Do you want Bolian to be the technical director?" Li Jianghe offered an olive branch: "The salary will definitely be favorable. I have cooperated before, so I have a foundation."

"I can trust Jiang He's character," Quan Bolian changed the topic, "But after all, I am still in graduate school. Senior Qi of your book-selling website told me that it is not technically difficult, but the job of maintaining the website is not easy.

, I may not be able to coordinate my time."

"I remember, Bolian, don't you have a studio? You can contract this job for me in the name of the studio first." Li Jianghe rolled his neck, "Senior, you don't really want to take the path of scientific research, do you?

"

"That's not true. I just want to learn technology from my tutor again." Quan Bolian took two sips of coffee. "I'm a wild kid. I thought hacking was cool at the time, so I got into it."

"If it's not for scientific research, then the final result of studying is to work and make money." Qi Hanyuan patted Quan Bolian, "Come here and become a director. You can make a lot of money in one go. Gates also dropped out of school."

"That's Gates." Quan Bolian shook his head, but he didn't refuse: "Thanks to Boss Li's respect, I'm going to work part-time with a shameless face. I just got out of here. I have to think about how to go in the future."

"It's going to be okay, Xiao Quan, don't worry too much," Qi Hanyuan said with a smile.

"I will send you specific requests via email tonight." Li Jianghe raised his coffee cup and said, "Coffee can be substituted for wine, the faster we can cooperate."

"Happy cooperation," Quan Bolian and Qi Hanyuan also raised their coffee cups.

Back at school in the evening, Li Jianghe sent the information he had compiled previously to Quan Bolian.

Although some companies that sell books have already been established, at the beginning of the 21st century, Bertelsmann probably still has one.

In 1995, this media giant entered China and established Shanghai Bertelsmann Cultural Industrial Co., Ltd. Note that it is an industry.

The Shanghai Book Club was established in 1997. By 2000, Bertelsmann announced that it had 1.5 million members of the Huaguo Book Club, which was an impressive number.

It uses mail to send books, and the courier company it cooperates with is the postal service, which is extremely slow. It suffers from the big business disease of almost all large foreign companies after entering the Chinese market.

For example, forcing members to buy books is the so-called "membership obligation." Many times, you may originally want to buy it, but if you tell me that this is your obligation as a member, then you are embarrassed and don't want to buy it.

Every three months, a book list will be sent to members, recommending some best-sellers, but they are only best-sellers. Their taste in book selection is becoming more and more difficult to describe. It is very much like the current clickbait party.

I thought I had bought "The Great Gatsby", but I didn't expect that what I ended up receiving was "Tiny Times".

After a while, members will be forced to recommend books, which is the overlord's business.

Some people say that this is all because Bertelsmann’s model is ahead of its time, but as of 2020, his model has not yet seen the possibility of success.

But in 2001, few people foresaw Bertelsmann's demise, because his various indicators were still very good.

Li Jianghe's website decided to also provide this kind of membership function. There is no obligation to be a member, and book promotion also relies on email.
