The movie "A and B" created a box office record for domestic movies and also opened the era of New Year's films. Even old filmmakers like Kim Hanzeng admired Zhou Ming very much, and hugged Zhou Ming's arm and told the elder brother not to let go.

However, the entire process of the film from crew preparation to casting, to editing and reviewing and release is nearly a year long, but Zhou Ming will not keep making movies this year. Although Zhou Ming is very curious and wants to experience filming, it is just a whim, and the excitement will disappear.

And perhaps it is very profitable to make movies in the eyes of others. This is true, otherwise there would not be so many people going on one after another. However, in Zhou Ming's eyes, the "making money" is very limited. After all, the domestic market base is here, there are only so many cinemas, and the movie tickets are the same price, and the box office of 40 to 50 million has reached its peak. Then, the share of publicity and theaters and the theaters is reduced, and the final ones that can be reached by oneself may only be millions.

This money is a huge sum of money in the eyes of others, but it is not worth mentioning to Zhou Ming. You should know that whether you are buying lithography machines, investing in data centers and real estate, there is more than this fraction.

Because of this, after the film crew was formed, Zhou Ming ignored the stall and went south directly because the matter was more important.

However, Zhou Ming did not go to Nanjiang directly, and some things were not in a hurry, so Zhou Ming went back to Linyang first and went to see his parents.

Linyang has developed very well now, especially at the Nanhui Old 760 Factory, various factories have been opened, and the demolition has enriched many people. Various foreign buildings and villas have been planned and built, making Menqian Village and Shenglian Village in the factory area have become well-known wealthy villages.

My parents are very respected in the factory area now. Everyone knows that Zhou Ming has a promising future outside, which makes everyone live a good life. It is better to say that they don’t forget to dig wells when they drink water, but as long as Zhou Ming doesn’t have any accidents, it will definitely be the benchmark near the home. Every time someone educates their children, they say that you have to study hard to become a person like Zhou Ming.

Zhou Ming still remembers that he took Su Han home during the Chinese New Year, and saw almost everyone from the entire factory visiting his home. He gave all kinds of gifts and could not even fit a room at home.

There is also Dazhuang's side, a couple with similar figures and his wife, who still make noises every day, and Shen Hong always dislikes Dazhuang for having no money. But in fact, Dazhuang is not the top group, but at least the standard tycoons. Not to mention the tens of millions that Su Han invested for them, but even the tens of thousands of yuan they paid to them every month, they couldn't spend them all.

During the period when Zhou Ming came back, the municipal party secretary and county party secretary also came here.

They are still old faces. When Zhou Ming first met, he was just mayor, and now he is the secretary of the municipal party committee for his second term.

In fact, his qualifications can be completely upgraded, but Chen Da obviously has greater ambitions, so he decided to stay with him again. Anyway, he has joined the provincial party committee, so it is better to accumulate more qualifications and go directly to the central ministries and commissions by then.

As for the county party secretary Gu Ping, his situation is different from Chen Da. As an old cadre of Nanhui, Gu Ping's age is unlikely to go up, so he planned to work as the secretary of Nanhui County Party Committee until his retirement. Anyway, with the township industrial park established by Zhou Ming, he has joined the Standing Committee team, and his treatment will not be bad if he retires.

Zhou Ming stayed at home for a while, met with all the leaders and drank tea.

Zhou Ming also asked them to take good care of their parents at home. Chen Da and Gu Ping both said that the township industrial park is the most important demonstration area in the city, and the two elders can rest assured here.

Zhou Ming still knows this. He is near his home. Not only is the surveillance probe installed, but there are even 24-hour police station duty booths at both intersections. On the surface, this is done to maintain the security environment of the demonstration park of the township industrial park, but in fact it is for Zhou Ming’s home.

Zhou Ming expressed his gratitude to Chen Da and Gu Ping. Perhaps they are just high-profile secretaries, but they are cadres who directly take care of their parents, so Zhou Ming's relationship with them should be well done.

After staying at home for a while, Zhou Ming embarked on the way to continue the south. Zhou Ming came directly to Nanjiang, the Special Administrative Region. Since Su Han had to hold a meeting on behalf of the Beverage Association in Yanjing, it was only Zhou Ming who came by himself.

Zhou Ming came to Gesai Building in Nanjiang Central Business District.

This is an old office building in the center of Nanjiang Business District. It was built in the late 1980s. Surrounded by a skyscraper that has only been built in recent years, the Gesai Building is a bit dilapidated. Of course, this dilapidated is also compared with the new office buildings around it. In fact, Gesai Building must be placed in other cities and can definitely enter the ranks of popular office buildings.

Ma Weixun’s newly established Penguin Company is in this office building, and the purpose of Zhou Ming’s trip to the Nanjiang River is here.

Taking the same dilapidated elevator to the fourth floor, Zhou Ming found the brand of Penguin Technology Company. The gate of Penguin Company is made of two frosted glass doors, and there is also a strip-shaped iron chain door lock hanging on the door handle. Not to mention that it is so cold, it is definitely not very fashionable.

To be honest, even if Zhou Ming was reborn, he would not believe that Penguin's current appearance would be a giant Internet company in the future.

When I opened the door and walked in, I first saw the front desk of the company. I was a girl with a good image and temperament. Next to it was a lattice office where I could see my head at a glance, and even two closed camp beds. It seemed that the miserable programmers had already begun to accumulate various blessings in this era.

"Who are you looking for, sir?" The front desk lady asked.

This question does not require Zhou Ming to answer, but an exclaim came from the side: "Mr. Zhou Ming, why are you here?"

The person who spoke was a thin young man wearing a blue shirt next to him. He was Ma Weixun's right-hand man and the second-in-command of Penguin Company. He also worked in the International E-commerce Center in Yanjing, so of course he knew Zhou Ming.

He introduced Zhou Ming's status to the front desk and was the boss's most important friend, and then invited Zhou Ming to Ma Weixun's office inside.

When he knocked on the door and went in, Ma Weixun was also very surprised why Zhou Ming came suddenly, and then enthusiastically invited Zhou Ming to come in and sit down, and then asked his subordinates to make tea for Mr. Zhou Ming.

Zhou Ming looked at Ma Weixun's office from side to side. Compared to outside, it was not much bigger. In addition to Ma Weixun's own boss's desk and chair, there was also a set of coffee tables and sofas, and there were two girls in charge of finance and administration and personnel. When they saw that the boss had customers, they all put down their work very sensible and stood up and left. It seems that this place is not so much Ma Weixun's office, but rather a special reception room for the company. It is just that Ma Weixun and the financial administration are just using it.

"I'm still doing things in the capital, and it takes some time, so I first think about coming to you to see how your business will be. " Zhou Ming said very directly.

However, when Ma Weixun heard this, his face suddenly became a little embarrassed, and Ma Weixun felt a little embarrassed:

"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou Ming, the result here... is not particularly ideal."

Ma Weixun then told Zhou Ming that since his Penguin Company was founded, Ma Weixun has made instant messaging software according to the entrepreneurial plan he had set before. In fact, it was not difficult. After all, when he was in Yanjing and was still in the International E-commerce Center, Ma Weixun asked his technical team to use the resources of the International E-commerce Center to create the basic prototype of the software, and he only needed to go to Nanjiang to debug and debug to promote it.

When they arrived in Nanjiang, they designed a very cute penguin image for the software according to Zhou Ming's idea, and rented an office and hired people to formally create the company.

None of these basic conditions is wrong, and the problem lies in the promotion of the software.

"So far, our Penguin has only one thousand registered users. Even at its peak, there are less than six hundred online users at the same time." Ma Weixun was embarrassed as he spoke.

Of course, Ma Weixun is embarrassed. There are 1,000 users and 600 online peaks. This data is a dismal no matter how you look at it.

Zhou Ming patted Ma Weixun's shoulder to relax his mind: "Don't be so frustrated. How long have you been back from Yanjing? One month or two? If you want to change others, I'm afraid you can't even build the company's framework, let alone you develop a thousand registered users, which is very good."

Ma Weixun smiled bitterly and told Zhou Ming not to comfort himself. He also knew what the company was doing: "Mr. Zhou Ming, your company has tens of millions or hundreds of millions in a month. I don't even lose money every day, and even the users can't develop. It's too far!"

Only then did Zhou Ming realize that Ma Weixun was always using himself as a reference!

"How can I compare with me? I'm speculating and trying to shoot twenty years ago. What kind of company has lived for more than one year in my hands? They just changed hands and gave it to others soon."

Zhou Ming turned around and asked him: "Unless Lao Ma, you, the Penguin Company, don't plan to ask for it."

Ma Weixun shook his head repeatedly and said that of course he still wants this company. He really wants to start a business and is not playing with it like others.

"So, then we will do it step by step. The company system is gradually developed, and the business and registered users are gradually expanded." Zhou Ming said to Ma Weixun.

Ma Weixun was very surprised. He felt that Zhou Ming was very confident in him.

Of course, Zhou Ming had confidence in him, because Zhou Ming came to see the results. Ma Weixun’s penguin company has such strong vitality.

What else Ma Weixun wanted to say, but Zhou Ming said first: "Let's not talk about these things first. Ma Weixun, please show me the Penguin promotion plan. Maybe we can think of some other solutions."

Ma Weixun stood up without any hesitation and went to get the plan and handed it to Zhou Ming, asking Zhou Ming to explain while watching.

He told Zhou Ming that now he mainly adopts the building sweeping model. Simply put, they use their own programs to open their offices in the surrounding office buildings, and then sell their own software.

"I told them that our Penguin software is a chat software with instant messaging. As long as we send messages on the window of our computer, the other party will receive them immediately, and there will be no delay in the middle..."

Before Ma Weixun finished speaking, Zhou Ming shook his head helplessly and said to him: "I know why you have only developed a thousand users now, and I think it's your luck, otherwise it would be great if you can have three or four hundred households!"
