Chapter 484 Competitive relationship
In the 1980s, companies in Zhongguancun were very miserable. Although some people made money, more people did not make money.
Moreover, companies that make money are still in a state of being prepared for danger in times of peace. Crisis is around you. If you don’t think about it during the day, you will inevitably dream at night.
In essence, these companies are typical startups. The biggest difference between startups in Silicon Valley in China and startups in Silicon Valley is that startups in Silicon Valley are sought after by the whole United States and even the world. As long as they show their talents, they will naturally be tilted by people, money and property.
Zhongguancun claims to be China's Silicon Valley, but in fact it is under heavy oppression. Survival is not easy. In order to survive, all companies are traveling through major units in the capital like crazy.
Nowadays, only state units can afford computers and other electronic products and services worth tens of thousands of yuan.
Chen Chunxian, who first founded a company in Zhongguancun, once looked for opportunities everywhere like a headless fly, and almost lost all his money. In the end, the first money his company earned came from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The latter purchased some new IBM computers, and Chen Chunxian's company was responsible for installing software and other services. He earned 600,000 yuan in one go, and finally recovered.
However, these early Zhongguancun companies were like all startups, and fewer survived than died.
People chant the names of successful people, just like admiring the beautiful tropical fish in coral reefs. No one pays attention to how many eggs hatch and how many small fish disappear.
The Xintong Company where Qin Qiang is located, as well as the newly arrived Jinghai and Xiade Company, are now struggling to lose money, so even though they know that they can’t make much money in scientific research tasks, they still rushed over when they received the call.
However, it was still a bit troublesome to come together. Tang Ji, who called, said even more embarrassedly: "I said I wanted one or two companies to try it out, but I didn't expect Lao Wang to notify you all."
"I asked him, Zhongguancun is a little bigger and can't hide things. Our two families came first, and maybe there are some later." Old Zhou from Xiade Company spoke carelessly. His legs and feet were rolled high, and he was like an old farmer who planted rice. In fact, he had the title of associate researcher, equivalent to an associate professor.
In fact, Lao Zhou is still an associate researcher at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, but he just doesn’t get a salary. This is what it means to step on two boats. One boat is driving, but the other foot is still reluctant to pull it up.
Qin Qiang sighed, put down the confidentiality contract and asked, "Do they both want to sign?"
"If you want to see the data, you have to sign it." After Yang Rui answered with certainty, he said to Zhao Lei: "Reporter Zhao, just take a picture here."
Zhao Lei smiled and said, "Okay", and said, "I'll go back and sort out the materials. If I lack anything, I'll come back to find you to take a photo."
"Let's contact us then." Yang Rui sighed.
After the person left and began to look at the confidentiality agreement, Lao Zhou smiled and said, "Such a beautiful female reporter was driven out. If she wanted to take a photo, she would take it."
"It's not good to be photographed when discussing business," said Yang Rui.
"What's good or not? We should let the central leaders take a look at it even if we live in this environment..." Old Zhou said angrily.
Yang Rui coughed and said, "You can first look at the agreement. In the end, which company is doing data processing depends on your respective abilities."
For the Institute of Computer Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, there is not much difference between processing data from the Department of Biology or processing data from the Department of Physics, but the capabilities of each company are uneven.
To be precise, most of the researchers who went into business in the 1980s had an average level. Lenovo's Liu Chuanzhi was the representative of it. If you follow the path of scientific research, Liu Chuanzhi was at most a moderate scientific researcher, and it would be almost impossible to improve one more thing.
It is correct for many researchers to move trees to die and people to live.
Of course, transplanting always has a certain loss rate, and the same is true for flow.
"I've signed it." Qin Qianglong wrote down his name, asked for all the data, and went to the corner to look at it.
The other two people signed the signature after carefully reading the confidentiality agreement. They were both from the unit and were very cautious in signing.
Qin Qiang looked at the data for more than an hour and checked the two pages of paper, saying, "I have written this kind of program before, and I will try to get out for you for three days. However, I can't control whether the result is what you want."
"Okay, I understand." Three days are not fast or slow, but it is definitely much faster than handed over to the computer department. The computer department can help Yang Rui produce data, but if he wants to process the data, even if Yang Rui is willing to give up a second or third author, he may not be able to get the results within a few days, because the computer department is very nervous, and it will be even more difficult to do a co-operated program.
Xintong Company where Qin Qiang is located is a pure private enterprise, and they are much more motivated. When looking for a machine in Beijing, of course, the most important thing is that Xintong Company is working for Yang Rui, so its cooperative relationship with the computer department is complicated.
As a student, Yang Rui did not have enough confidence to control such a situation.
Jinghai and Xia De also quickly gave the answer, which was almost the same as Xintong Company's conditions.
Yang Rui looked at Tang Ji, and he was quite interested in inquiring.
Tang Ji smiled and said, "You talk, I just think domestic institutions are more convenient."
After saying that, Tang Ji simply went back to his office.
Xu Zhengping wanted to take a look, but he was dragged out by Tang Ji.
There was no one else in front of him. Yang Rui was no longer kind to the researchers.
He gave the three people a stack of paper and said, "The conditions of the three companies are similar now. In order to select the company that best suits the interests of the laboratory, we will make a simple secret label. You will write down the fees for each company, the time required, the accuracy of the data, the lowest fee, the shortest time, and the highest accuracy, and get this business. Is it okay?"
Several people looked at each other, and Lao Zhou asked, "What if the conditions are the same?"
"If the conditions given by the two companies are the same and the best conditions, I will discuss them with you two more. If the conditions of the three companies are the same, then let's do it again."
"One time, what are the conditions?"
"Then I'll consider finding another company."
Lao Zhou whispered: "This is not fair."
"Money is the fairest. If you don't want to make money, there will always be someone who makes money." Yang Rui smiled and said, "If you don't want to participate, it doesn't matter if you give up now. After signing the contract officially, you won't be able to give up."
The atmosphere was a little dull, and Qin Qiang let out a sigh of relief and said, "I still want to participate. Our Xintong hasn't opened for a long time."
The offensive and defensive alliance collapsed instantly.
All three of them unfolded the paper in their hands and wrote down their respective conditions.
Yang Rui suddenly felt extremely relaxed. With the development of biology, many high-end research needs to process a large amount of data. Later generations, there were specialized biotechnology companies or data processing companies to do these businesses. Some professors would also cooperate with data partners. Yang Rui does not have this condition at present, but if one or two Chinese companies can cooperate, it is still more convenient than foreign companies.
Qin Qiang and others didn't know what Yang Rui thought. The conditions they put on paper were getting more and more difficult.
