Chapter 693 A Trip to the United States (4000 Words)

After the meeting, Ye Ge returned to the office.

Sitting on the chair in the office, Ye Ge drank tea while looking down from the French window.

Originally, the place where Green Leaf Software Park was located was relatively remote, belonging to the junction of the suburbs and the city near the city.

But because almost all the companies related to Ye Ge are located on this side.

Many real estate companies have already smelled the smell and feel that this place may become the Silicon Valley of Yuhang Province.

In addition, the real estate is becoming more and more popular now, and many real estate companies are constantly acquiring land.

So the surrounding area of ​​this place is also being developed one after another.

With Green Leaf Software Park as the center, some communities have begun to be built nearby.

In addition, shopping malls are also being built one after another.

Not only that, in order to support the development of this area not long ago, Hangzhou City gave the green light all the way and passed a resolution.

Several schools and a tertiary hospital will be built in this place.

If nothing unexpected happens, in a few years, this place will become a prosperous area, and its liveliness may not be inferior to the city center.

After all, Ye Ge's companies are all Internet companies, there is no pollution, and the salary is high and all of them are high-end talents.

If these talents can be attracted to settle here, it will be very beneficial for Hangzhou.

However, long before these real estate companies entered the game, Ye Ge had already taken a few plots of land.

Ye Ge did not want to enter the real estate industry, but Ye Ge was worried that this place would develop too fast. When the land was taken, he would not be able to build other office buildings, let alone employee dormitories.

Although the office building is enough now, with the subsequent expansion of the company, if nothing unexpected happens, it will definitely take the same area of ​​land as now to build a new office building.

Moreover, the welfare given by Ye Ge is that every employee has an employee dormitory to live in. The community currently built by Ye Ge will not be sold out, and all are used for employee accommodation.

And employees only need to pay for water and electricity.

Of course, employee dormitories cannot be lived in for a lifetime. After all, when you leave, you must move out of the employee dormitory.

So now there are still many people buying houses in other places in Yuhang, as long as they are close to the company.

And the pre-sale houses developed by the real estate developers near the company are also very popular.

Although this place is relatively remote, the house price is cheaper compared to other places, and they believe that this place can definitely develop.

So it is not just the employees who bought some pre-sale houses nearby.

People in other districts of Hangzhou also want to buy houses near the Green Leaf Software Park.

"Da Da Da..."

Just when Ye Ge's mind was empty and he was looking at the construction sites not far away, there was a knock on the office door.

"Come in."

Ye Ge said, then turned around from the office chair and faced the door.

The door opened and Yan Cici came over with a folder.

Unlike Yuan Guoxue and Xu Xin who like to wear OL uniforms and high heels, Yan Cici's favorite outfit is still blue jeans, and the upper body is matched with a white silk sweater.

The whole person looks refreshing and simple, and the slim jeans set off her graceful figure very well.

Yan Cici is very popular in the company because of her outstanding appearance.

And because ByteDance does not prohibit office romance, many male employees have invited Yan Cici to dinner.

But Yan Cici refused all of them.

Unless it is a department dinner, Yan Cici does not go to dinner with any employee, and even if it is a department dinner, Yan Cici will not drink.

"Mr. Ye, I have sorted out some important matters in the meeting just now, and the product department and R&D department just gave me a preliminary plan. Please take a look."

Yan Cici closed the door and walked forward, putting the documents in his hand on Ye Ge's desk.

When in the company, Yan Cici always called Ye Ge Mr. Ye.

After work, Yan Cici called Ye Ge by name.

The main point is to distinguish between public and private.

"Well, I know, thank you for your hard work."

Ye Ge nodded and flipped through these documents.

In these documents, some important matters are specially marked in different fonts or colors, which looks very clear.

And all of this is what Yan Cici learned from Yuan Guoxue.

Originally, Yan Cici worked in the human resources department, but Ye Ge did not have any deputy in ByteDance, and there were many things to do in ByteDance, plus Ye Ge had to manage other companies' affairs frequently.

So in Ye Ge's opinion, he needed a smart and capable person to look after ByteDance for him.

In other words, Ye Ge needed a secretary who belonged to ByteDance and reported to him from time to time.

And this person must be trustworthy, he must have a deep understanding of her, and must have certain working ability.

After thinking about it, Ye Ge actually felt that Yuan Guoxue was the most suitable person.

But now Yuan Guoxue is already in charge of Bilibili and Mihuyou, and there are already many things to do in these two companies.

If she is still in charge of ByteDance, I am afraid that one day, Yuan Guoxue will be exhausted.

However, for a major matter like setting up a secretary, although Ye Ge is the boss, he cannot make a decision privately.

After all, he promised Guoxue that she would always be his biggest secretary.

He will only have one personal secretary, and that is her.

So Ye Ge asked Yuan Guoxue for her opinion.

If she agrees, then let Xu Xin or Yuan Guoxue recommend someone.

This person will be responsible for organizing the work and various resolutions of ByteDance.

Then the person directly responsible for this person is actually Yuan Guoxue, and then Yuan Guoxue will organize and report things to himself.

But this person can also directly bypass Yuan Guoxue and report the work situation to himself.

In the end, Yuan Guoxue said that Yan Cici could be competent for such a job.

To be honest, Ye Ge thought that Yuan Guoxue was deliberately testing him at first, so he deliberately proposed Yan Cici.

But later, Ye Ge found that it was not the case.

Rather, Yuan Guoxue really hoped that Yan Cici could be her secretary, specifically responsible for the content of ByteDance.

At the beginning, Yan Cici was indeed not very familiar with the work content, but the more Yan Cici worked, the smoother it became, and the faster she progressed.

And Yan Cici would ask Yuan Guoxue for advice whenever she had any questions.

The two of them would eat together from time to time, go out together from time to time, and Yuan Guoxue would come to the house where Ye Ge lived from time to time to find Yan Cici.

The relationship between the two seemed to have made rapid progress, and there was a feeling of developing in the direction of a close relationship.

Ye Ge was actually happy to see the relationship between the two getting better and better.

The relationship between the several of them was getting better and better, and the difficulty of the operation of her subsequent plans would be lower.

"Basically, there is no problem, and the plan they gave is also okay. Let's do it in this general direction for now."

Ye Ge returned the file to Yan Cici.

"Okay." Yan Cici nodded, "I'll go and tell them right away."

"Actually, there's no need to rush, you can go later." Ye Ge said.

"What's wrong, Mr. Ye, do you have anything else to say?" Yan Cici looked at Ye Ge in confusion.

"There are no outsiders here, just call me Ye Ge, don't call me Mr. Ye, otherwise I always feel weird."

Ye Ge said with a smile.

"This matter is indeed very important. Didn't I say it at the meeting before? Our software, Wenyin, is not only to be developed in China, but also to go overseas.

But how easy is it to go overseas?

Mr. Tang of Xuetang Group introduced me to several partners in the United States before. They may be able to cooperate with us in the business of the United States.

According to Mr. Tang, they also expressed their willingness to cooperate with us.

But some specific work matters still need us to talk to them ourselves.

This also includes officials from some relevant departments in the United States.

If there is no big problem, we will consider setting up a branch in the United States."

"What do you mean, Ye Ge?"

Yan Cici had already guessed in his heart that Ye Ge wanted to do something himself.

Ye Ge smiled: "Originally, I wanted you and Guo Xue to accompany me to the United States, but Guo Xue is also busy recently. There are many contents in Mihuyou that need Guo Xue to coordinate, so you can only accompany me to the United States.

Are you free during this period? If you are free, we will leave in two days."

"I am free, even if I leave tomorrow, there is no problem, but is it really necessary to be so anxious?

In fact, I think we should first gain a firm foothold in China, and then gradually enter overseas markets?"

Yuan Guo Xue suggested to Ye Ge.

Yuan Guo Xue felt that Ye Ge's move to enter overseas markets was actually not wrong, and it was a very smart move.

Only when a company has a firm foothold in the world can it be regarded as a truly large company, but the problem is whether it can get there. It seems that Brother Ye seems to be a little too anxious.

After all, it has not been long since Wenyin was released in China, and everything is still in the process of creation, and many problems have not been exposed.

Logically speaking, we should stabilize the domestic market first, and then consider entering the overseas market. Otherwise, if there is a problem, both sides will have problems, and the loss will be greater.

Although Wenyin has sufficient funds now, this is entirely based on Bilibili and Mihuyou.

Because these two companies are constantly providing blood transfusions to Wenyin, Wenyin has been able to achieve such rapid development.

If we open up another market, the capital chain will definitely be very tight. If there are some problems at this time, the capital chain will definitely be broken.

"I know what you are worried about."

Ye Ge took a deep breath.

"Indeed, in the current situation, we should first stand firm in the domestic market, and then slowly seek overseas development, but now time waits for no one.

With the increasing development of mobile Internet, coupled with the increasing application of mobile phones in various aspects, we must enter the market first. Only by taking the lead can we be more convenient later.

Opportunities and risks often coexist. If you want opportunities but don't want to take risks, there is no such thing as such a good thing. "

"..."

Listening to Ye Ge's words, Yan Cici lowered her head and thought for a moment.

"Okay, then I'll go get ready. I can leave at any time."

Yan CiCi said nothing more.

Although this decision was indeed risky, she still respected Ye Ge's decision.

"I'll tell you when the time comes." Ye Ge smiled and nodded.

"Then I'll get busy first." Yan Cici took the documents and walked out of the office.

Looking at the closed office door, Ye Ge couldn't help but be in a daze again.

In fact, as long as the operation goes smoothly, Wenyin will be able to develop smoothly in both domestic and overseas markets from the beginning.

The real trouble is yet to come.

As the overseas version of Wenyin became popular overseas, it was targeted by bandits like Mildew.

In 2019, China launched a national security review of TikTok parent company ByteDance’s acquisition of the American social media application Musical in 2017.

Immediately afterwards, the US Navy banned the use of TikTok on government mobile devices on the grounds that the TikTok application posed a cybersecurity threat. Users who have installed TikTok software on government mobile devices cannot enter the internal network of the US Marine Corps, nor can they use TikTok while wearing military uniforms.

In January 2020, the Korean Army also announced a ban on installing TikTok on government-issued mobile phones.

And this is just the beginning.

Not long after, the Secretary of State of the United States said that China’s social media applications handed over users’ personal information to the Chinese government and was considering blocking them, “especially TikTok.”

Although a TikTok spokesperson clarified that the company has always been committed to protecting the privacy and security of users and has never provided any user information to the Chinese government.

But Miluo doesn’t care about you at all.

After all, what kind of conscience could you expect from a robber?

Even after the nonsense in the previous life, ByteDance has considered spinning off TikTok into an independent American company in order to cope with the possible complete blockade by the bad country.

However, White House trade adviser Peter said that even if TikTok plans to break up, it will not change the White House's determination to impose sanctions.

What happened next was even more twists and turns.

In this life, I must be prepared.

But no matter what, there will definitely be sanctions, and I will fight against the country to the end!

Now, just be prepared for the tough fight.

My earlier layout was to allow the software Wenyin to enter thousands of households earlier, become an irreplaceable existence earlier, and even allow countless people to make a living on Wenyin.

By that time, the vast majority of WenYin’s users will become WenYin’s help!
