Chapter 41 Let’s Cooperate
It wasn’t until the girls’ rehearsal ended that Zhao Jingsheng first saw An Rusong standing at the door. He waved enchantingly and said, “Rusong, what? Is it time?”
“It’s been a while, Brother Jingsheng,” An Rusong walked into the dance room and bowed to the other party from a distance.
"Oh," Zhao Jingsheng had sweat on his forehead. He walked to the clothes rack on one side and took out a towel. While wiping the sweat, he said with satisfaction, "Then you saw Huixiu and the others. How do you feel about practicing?”
“Pop!”
An Rusong clapped his hands in admiration and said, "Good! It feels not only lively, but also very powerful."
"Haha, you have a good vision!" Zhao Jingsheng's face became more complacent, but he At least I haven’t forgotten that this song was provided by An Rusong’s “friend”. Therefore, he praised again, "Of course, your friend's song is also very good. Well~~~ What is your friend's name?"
"Wen Tai frame," An Rusong glanced at Zhao Cheng Hao said calmly when he saw this guy blinking at him.
"Yes, yes, Wen Tai frame," Zhao Jingsheng nodded and said, "Very good, you told him, I want this song."
He turned to look at Zhao Chenghao, He said: "Chenghao, I'll leave the payment to you. We'll pay a high price, anything within 20 million won."
20 million won per song, considering that this "Wen Tai Jian" is still a newcomer, this price is not low.
"Okay, brother, just leave this to me," Zhao Chenghao took advantage of the situation and agreed, turned around and walked towards the door.
"Rusong, hurry up and settle the purchase of the song with your friend," Zhao Jingsheng warned An Rusong again, "Don't delay, lest someone else buys it first, do you understand?"
"Don't worry, Brother Jingsheng, I know what to do," An Rusong said hurriedly.
Zhao Jingsheng then ignored him and turned to the girls and said, "Okay, okay, continue rehearsing."
Zhao Chenghao obviously didn't want to stay here. He put his arm around An Rusong's shoulders and walked out of the dance studio, walked quickly to the stairs, and then looked back. Seeing that the door of the dance studio had been closed, he clenched his fist and slapped An Rusong on the chest and said, "You guys really surprised me."
An Rusong He smiled flatly and replied: "I said, you have to have confidence in me."
"Have confidence, have confidence, of course you have confidence," Zhao Cheng Hao pulled him downstairs, and when he reached the second floor, he turned around and said, "You don't need to say it, I am more and more confident in you now."
After a pause, he said: "Didn't you say before that you wanted to set up a company like this? You also said that it would definitely make money?"
"It's an IT company," An Rusong said for him.
"That's right, IT company," Zhao Chenghao nodded, "I've thought about it. Let's start it up as you said. Please tell me first how much money we need to invest."
"Are you sure you want to join in?" An Rusong slowed down, turned to look at him and asked.
"Of course," Zhao Chenghao pushed him forward, but continued, "I am very sure now."
"Well, let's settle the account first. "An Rusong nodded and followed him into the office on the second floor.
In front of the desk in the office, An Rusong took a pen and pulled out a stack of notepaper. He then first wrote the word "manpower" on the note.
"To handle the company's procedures, you need to arrange for someone to go there. My suggestion to you is to find a more reliable lawyer or firm to handle it," he said while tapping the tip of his pen lightly on the notepad.
"It's best not to go to Uncle Tai'an," he emphasized, "You know why yourself, unless you want to hand this business over to Liu Taihe."
"Don't worry, I'm not a fool," Zhao Chenghao muttered, then pointed at the note pad, indicating for him to continue.
“When starting a company, you must first solve the problem of manpower,” An Rusong continued. “And for an IT company like ours, the most important manpower is programmer. I already have Based on this, my idea is that the company should first recruit 6 experienced programmers. "Programmers? Are the salaries high?" Zhao Chenghao asked.
"If you want to find something useful, you have to pay a high salary," An Rusong nodded and said, "If you are hired in China, not counting benefits such as health insurance, pensions and paid annual leave, but just a simple monthly salary, you have to pay every It’s more than 6 million won per month.” “So expensive?” Zhao Chenghao took a breath and said, “Just a salary of 70 million a year?”
An Rusong nodded first, and then said: "So, I suggest you find an agency, get six E-7 visas, and go to Russia to recruit people. Then The salary on the other side is low, and the monthly salary for programmers of the same level or even better is not more than 3 million won.
"Russian? Are they okay? "Zhao Chenghao asked suspiciously.
An Rusong was too lazy to answer his question and just continued: "If the salary is raised to 4 million won per month and a three-year contract is signed at one time, We can even recruit very useful experts. The most important thing is that by hiring Russians, we can save most of the welfare expenses. ”
In 2007, although Russia's economy has recovered to a certain extent, it is still very weak overall. The per capita annual national income is only more than 500 US dollars, which is indeed incomparable with South Korea.
But in the field of computer technology, especially in software development, Russia's level is world-class, and there are many domestic talents in related fields. As for South Korea, although it is also good, the overall level is far behind.
The most important thing is that the salary gap between IT technicians of the same type and level in the two countries is too huge. From a cost-effective perspective, even if it is to apply for visas for Russian employees and arrange food and accommodation for them, Its overall expenditure is more than half that of directly employing Koreans.
An Rusong is not a stingy person, but since he is doing business, saving expenses and increasing profits are issues that the boss must consider.
Of course, when it comes to hiring Russian programmers, in addition to saving money, An Rusong also has another consideration, and that is the issue of communication.
An excellent Russian programmer has a slim chance of knowing Korean, but the chance of knowing English is as high as 99%.
Zhao Chenghao doesn't understand English, let alone Russian, and the same goes for his younger brothers. But for An Rusong, who can speak fluent English, he should be able to communicate smoothly with these Russian programmers. In this way, he can ensure that he has an absolute dominant position in the company's technical manpower control.
The reason why An Rusong laid this hidden line in the company in advance was not that he didn't trust Zhao Chenghao, but that he didn't trust anyone.
Writing down the key points in manpower, An Rusong tore off the piece of paper and handed it to Zhao Chenghao. Then, he wrote the word "equipment" on a new piece of paper. .
According to his requirements, the first batch of equipment purchased by the company should be divided into three categories, namely 12 desktop computers, 12 laptops, and two sets of department-level servers.
In order to avoid mistakes, An Rusong specifically wrote out the basic configurations of the three types of equipment. For example, the server should use DELL PowerEdge2950, the notebook should use ThinkPad T60p, and so on.
“If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools.” This will never change.
An Rusong has the technology in his own hands, so why doesn’t the company do it on its own, instead of recruiting Zhao Chenghao? The fundamental reason is that the initial investment in this thing is too large, and he simply cannot afford it.
Even if Zhao Chenghao is involved, the two of them will exhaust their wealth and they will not be able to sustain it for long. The only option is to seize a certain market with the instant messaging tool launched by the company and have a certain number of users. Financing.
It is not easy to start an IT company. The problems involved are numerous and complex. An Rusong is by no means able to formulate a complete plan just by relying on his imagination. All he can think of now is Arrange whatever you want. As for problems encountered in the future, we can only solve them one by one after encountering them.
I don’t know if Zhao Chenghao is really interested in opening a company. During the whole process, he listened very carefully. Every time An Rusong filled up a note, he reached out to take it and took it carefully. organized into one piece.
"Brother Cheng Hao, there is one thing I must remind you." When An Rusong put down the pen in his hand, the light in the office was already a little dark. He rubbed his sore and swollen temples. He glanced at Zhao Chenghao sitting at the corner of the table and said.
"What?" Zhao Chenghao raised his head and asked curiously.
“In the Internet industry, there is a word that everyone in the industry is familiar with, called ‘burning money’,” said An Rusong. “There is a reality in this, that is, an application is put into the market. After that, the main goal in the early stage is to absorb as many users as possible users instead of quickly realizing profits.”
“I understand,” Zhao Chenghao interrupted, “It’s just like those paid games. There will be some free public beta at the beginning, and then we can play it. I’m addicted, so I started charging.”
"Haha, that's roughly what it means," An Rusong didn't explain it to him in detail, just nodded and said, "Furthermore, during the period of attracting users, the company not only has no profit, but also needs to continue to increase investment. , this period is 'burning money'. If we can't hold on, we will go bankrupt." "Then, are you confident?" Zhao Chenghao asked.
“I am confident,” An Rusong said frankly. “At least, I am confident that we can get sufficient financing when needed.”
“You are confident, I I have confidence." Zhao Chenghao hesitated and finally said.
