Chapter 10. Corporate Wars, Part One
In January, the tax was still funding for a complete conversion in computer engineering. We took from the guys in overalls desktops straight from the tin in the package and put them on account of the institution. Contest for the supply of equipment has won a local small company director who came to check the object on the new Lexus. The fact that he came to be associated not so much with the value of the contract, as with his chummy relationship with the boss. Apparently, this explains the inflated price on every computer around twice: each machine has cost the papers about 60-65 thousand rubles. Then the first time I thought that I was not so busy with the Internet: 120 computers, five servers, dozens of items of peripheral equipment - from the air by about 3-4 million rubles, according to conservative estimates.
we have established the technique themselves, but had maintain communication with the techies from the computer company, because all the cars were samosborom and always lacked is some glands, then the drivers. Stood from the entire sales team manager, Edward. He was retired military, went exclusively to the suit, distinguished bearing, and a nice mellow voice. Women средних лет любят называть таких мужчин "настоящий полковник", хотя по званию он был всего лишь прапорщиком.
Эдуард руководил этой поставкой и успевал везде: and visit the shipment, and to bring some little things, and collect information on short delivery. But was there some kind of wormhole. It seemed that he wants to climb up to you soul - he loved pozadavat questions about his personal life and work. Telefonchik quizzed. Our guys have become of him, so I soon became almost the only, who did not avoid contact with him. But tell me it was not particularly about anything. So I was not surprised when Edward told me that after this contract is dismissed, and opens his company to sell computers.
- Not ssysh that your boss you zagnobit?
- What do I do it? Clients of his, and so it - I did not notice, even if he wanted. Do you think he won this contract? Certainly not. Sauna, girls and lemon rollback. And I'm going to work with the usual offices. Exit at my Moscow warehouse there, skidochku me there to do.
Edward stopped. When the smoking room we were alone, he suddenly said:
- a guy like you - I would not stop in the office. Not tired of More on the floors to run? - I just smiled back. Edward threw the butt in a tin cup from under the Nescafe, which served as an ashtray in our smoking room. - Think. I'll pay you three times as much. My phone you have.
A few days later, we finished installing the new technology and our relationship with the firm and Edward ended. But it began with my Edward. He called himself and the first to reiterate its offer. His perseverance interested me, and we met after work in the cafe. Edward immediately handed me a business card on which was gold vytisneno Eduard Pinnacles, Director. "
- All retired, and now his own man - a rather informed he said.
- The owner did not swear?
- He swore course, but what he can do. I have long planned to move away, so that it remains the only things from the desk of the portfolio and add bye!
- Well done!
- So you got in mind?
- What do you suggest?
- Oh! Business approach! Place my deputy - the cheeks are not puffed out, except me and thee while nobody in the firm not but this is only the beginning. Salary - twenty-five thousand. Business day - irregular, but the bounds of decency. Office of the good, and the Internet from the belly.
- I will never believe you could not find someone better to these conditions. You're really just out with it what you want from me.
Edward hesitated. I decided to cheer him.
- Do not bother, I have already experienced - though from the mouth of a seventeen-year-phrase guy looked funny, my companion, it obviously helped.
- I need a database.
- Aha!
- Wait! I'm not going to sell it or something else to use. And the data on taxes I do not need. I am interested in real non-zero contact firms in the city. Choice I do not - have to work on the area and quickly. I took a lot of money in the debt and if you do not go out on a good turn for three months, the business end. Or maybe I do.
Then I even wanted to cry, so wrinkled face Edward.
- Okay, but what will I leave with the firm after three months, already resigned to the tax. And the fact of removal of the base will not go unnoticed.
- Well, we're little. And who will notice? Directory City - there are the same company.
- Yes, but there are no phones Accountants and email addresses.
- I do not think anyone would notice our exclusive approach.
- Ha! Okay, I'm home it's time.
- So, you think?
- Yes, there is over something to think about.
home, I sat down at the statistics. The new version of the generator sites began to give results, and earnings back up to acceptable thousand rubles a day. Still about a hundred dollars a day dripping with already two exchanges - I have added to its total stock popandernoy clone under a different name and a slightly higher price per click. One was reliable and old in the eyes of users, the second - a little more profitable, although the young.
only thing - I completely abandoned the sale of generated sites other users. As soon as the growing sales generated sites have to fly out of the index of search engines, so it's useless for earnings from them. Not to increase the negative feedback, I'll just shut up shop and returned the money to those who stood in the queue. In any case, I have enough earned it.
Against the background of the total earnings from the Internet offer Edward looked ridiculous and stupid. But was it a morbid adventure. And it's terribly roused my imagination. I've seen on the streets of the city unfolding corporate war where each side has captured, killed and wounded.
Since I am using the client's Dima checked opportunity to pull the necessary information from the base. Theoretically, such a possibility exists. But as I learned of specialized forums, it was better to just steal the entire base as a whole. Of course, copy files, too, is written in the server logs, but behind these things followed less than a query to the database. But it was much easier.
old computer. They piled into an unused room, and I was asked to describe their act write-offs. It was necessary to alternately turn on each computer to determine its configuration and add it to the long ekselevsky file. What was my surprise, that one of these computers was a server with full database, current as of the last month. I copied the base itself on the outer screw, which carry a instead of the stick. And he went on to describe computers.
After some time it occurred to me search in the contents of hard drives. And oh you are, so many porn, just music, movies I've never seen before. But the most interesting proved to be deposits of amateur photos, existents on absolutely every computer. I again pulled out his external drive and yet another described a computer with the previous blended what seemed interesting to me. Partly it is then useful as a content for websites.
I phoned Edward about a week later, when able to pull from the database necessary to provide data. They fit into a tiny file whose name ends in Excel: only six thousand lines. But at a meeting, I only came with a pair of printed sheets. Edward quickly scanned.
- Excellent! This is not it?
- Of course. The rest of my home.
- Ok, you can go out tomorrow.
- I was wondering if this is such a value, then we will proceed in another way. I want percent.
Edward looked at me, if I had told him she was pregnant.
- And you is not so simple.
- You have to. But the salary is a salary, but must grow. I know I can be really useful - and here Then I read him a lecture about the possibilities of the Internet and its impact on business expansion: I told him about the spam. In parallel with the base phone, I managed to get database of email addresses that were not there, no one - living an email of all offices in the city, from those who enjoyed them all. Edward was impressed, and we hit from hand to hand.
Oddly enough, but the tax on my statement did not say anything, did not even require two weeks to work out - outstanding labor, the remnants of neotgulyanny leave and good riddance. Finally, I put down the guys. And my career in the tax had been completed. So if someone was upset and change in my work, only mother - she liked that I was on the sovereign's service.
Edward kept his word: I got my job, position and salary, so far only on paper. Edward sat on the phone, I elektronku. For a month we treated everyone we could. How much would not talk about spam bad, but only one hundred and called back and threatened to heaven penalties. This, we simply cut off from re-distribution.
Roughly five percent of the distribution fires. A few more orders Edward gained from outgoing calls. So that by March we won so many orders that simply did not have time to meet them yourself, even working in the evenings - in the office, new staff, and almost every Evening came, or a car, or sending a train components. It seemed a little more, and we took the city completely. This is where Edward and made a mistake. He felt the appetite, climbed into the tenders. But this happened in May, when our company took the leading position in the city, and spam is no longer needed. But this later, because in April there was another event, distracted me from work for several days.
In early April, I woke up in a beautiful Saturday morning from the bell at the door. We celebrated on the eve of another good deal in a nightclub, so I felt no better. Nashar sneakers and realizing that I did not undress from yesterday, I padded into the hallway. I looked in the eye - on the court was Oksana, which I did not see the New Year holidays. That is after all a surprise. I opened the door. Oksana hesitated for a guy about my height, a windbreaker and jeans - very ordinary boy just older than me.
- Uh-uh ... - I mumbled, expressive transferring his gaze from Oksana to the guy.
Oksana cute smile and presented.
- Paul, my boyfriend ... Can we have you spend the night. Today we want to go to a club, and Accommodation nowhere.
Somehow I thought that Paul at this moment felt more uncomfortable, than I am.
- No problem, come in - I opened the door wider and retreated into the apartment, letting guests.
