Back To 2005

"Boss, the WeChat project of Celebrity Network has been leaked."

"I'll come over in the afternoon."

Zhou Anan felt nervous after hearing the report from the perfect female secretary, but on the surface she replied calmly.

"What's wrong?"

Shi Mingxia, who was listening to her boyfriend's phone call, asked doubtfully.

"It's okay. There's something over there in Hangzhou that I need to sign. I have to go over there in the afternoon to take care of it."

Not wanting to worry his girlfriend, Zhou Anan said with a smile, and then continued walking towards the old street with her.

When you eat a big meal, it doesn’t have to be Western food, and you don’t have to go to an expensive cafe, as long as it’s rich.

For lunch, Zhou Anan accompanied his girlfriend at a restaurant on Ziyang Old Street. They ordered four dishes and one soup and were very full.

You need to be calm when facing big events. This sentence is often said by the big shots in TV dramas.

But in real life, few can really do this.

At least, Zhou Anan was thinking about the solution all the time while eating.

"drive safely."

After getting off the bus at the training department, Shi Mingxia said with concern.

During the meal, she noticed that her boyfriend was distracted several times.

She couldn't help with these shopping mall matters, so she could only silently support them from behind.

"Let Wang Min accompany you tonight."

"It's okay, I will arrange it myself, don't worry about me."

"Okay, I'll call you when I get there."

"Well, drive carefully."

Saying goodbye to his girlfriend, Zhou Anan drove towards Hangcheng.

During the break, Zhou Anan, Qi Liang and others talked on the phone, briefly determined the response measures, and continued driving.

"boss."

The car was parked in the underground parking lot. As soon as Zhou Anan came out of the elevator, he saw the beautiful secretary coming to greet him.

"Has Mr. Mai arrived?"

After nodding, Zhou Anan walked forward quickly and asked casually.

While resting on the way, Zhou Anan called Mr. Mai of TT.

"We've arrived, Mr. Qi and the others are waiting for us."

"Tell me in detail the plan decided by Mr. Qi and others."

"OK."

Five minutes later, Zhou Anan, who had calmed down, walked into the small conference room, smiled and said to Mai Jiachan, who turned around to look at him, "Uncle Mai, I'm sorry, could you please run over."

"Haha, you really have a secret. If it hadn't happened today, we wouldn't know your ambitions until your new project is launched."

Smiling nonchalantly, Mai Jiachan felt more and more that his previous vision was very far-sighted.

Previously, he had applied for a WeChat account to experience it. It was indeed a new and huge market.

There is a slight difference between Weike and blog, but the functionality and interactivity are much better.

With Mai Jiachen’s many years of experience in the Internet industry, this Weike will definitely be favored by young people.

And young people are the main force of domestic netizens. This is enough for Weike to occupy the high point of the market. If the follow-up operation is good, it may not be able to replace various blogs and forums today.

It can be said that the other party has great ambitions.

But in the Internet industry, only if the ambition is big enough can greater achievements be achieved.

"Uncle Mai has given you too much praise. I am not asking you for help now."

In this regard, Zhou Anan said very modestly.

Originally, before the Weike project was launched, Zhou Anan did not want TX to participate in order to prevent the other party from taking the lead.

But who would have thought that this project had been leaked in advance, and it was impossible to determine how long the leak would take.

Yesterday, the Weike project started internal testing. As a result, a key member of the R\u0026D team asked for leave due to a change in his family. He happened to be seen at the company headquarters in Jiulang this morning.

Therefore, after Zhou Anan discussed with the Troika, without knowing how long the project would be leaked, they immediately ended the internal testing and went online directly.

This requires the company's shareholder TX Daniel to take action.

"Do you want to borrow my company's server?"

It was very simple. Mai Jiachen guessed what the other party meant.

To compete with Jiulang, an Internet giant, using a rented server is simply asking for death.

If the other party uses some tricks, the system of the celebrity network will collapse, and then it will be completely defeated.

"Yes, I heard that TX has established the most advanced server group in Shencheng."

Zhou Anan did not shy away from this point.

Originally, according to the previous plan, they were preparing to launch the Weike project. After receiving Series A investment, they would then set up their own company's server group, but the plan could not keep up with the changes.

Although everything is just a possibility, but to play against an Internet giant like Jiu Lang, you cannot be too well prepared.

Zhou Anan had expected to compete with these senior figures in the Internet industry, but he did not expect to come so early.

Although the other party's approach is a bit despicable, shopping malls are like battlefields, and there are no so-called rules at all.

After the Weike project is successfully launched this time, I can argue with the other party on legal issues when I have time.

"There's no problem with this. Anyway, we still hold 20 shares."

Without any hesitation, Mai Jiachen directly agreed to the other party's request.

"In addition, I hope to use TX's technical team to conduct final testing and strengthening of the Weike project, and strive to go online the day after tomorrow."

Now that the other party had intervened, Zhou Anan was not polite and made another request.

"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to come over today. However, I need an investment quota in Series A."

He readily agreed, and Mai Jiachan also made his own request.

Although TX can be regarded as the major shareholder of Celebrity Network, it does not have a controlling interest after all. Even if it wants to participate in the A-round investment, it still depends on the intention of the other controlling party.

Presumably none of his friends would agree on this point.

In an emerging market, they cannot lag behind others. It is necessary to get involved in it.

"Can."

Faced with this request, which was not considered a requirement, Zhou Anan, as the controlling party, nodded in agreement.

It was impossible to let the other party contribute without any benefit, not to mention Round A and Round B, Zhou Anan had not given much thought to it.

He had understood before that the money invested was not his alone.

This is frustrating.

“A pleasure to work with.”

“A pleasure to work with.”

After setting the basis for cooperation between the two parties, Mai Jiachen went back to prepare, and Zhou Anan also came to the office to hold an emergency meeting with the Troika.

"Do you know who informed us?"

The first thing that happened was that Zhou Anan paid attention to the anonymous whistleblower who informed their celebrity network about the incident.

Yes, the news that the backbone appeared in the Jiulang headquarters building was not discovered by their company itself, but someone made an anonymous call to their company to verify and confirm.

Without this anonymous phone call, they might have been squashed and rounded by the old waves, and they wouldn’t even know what was going on.

"I don't know, we looked up the IP address of the anonymous phone, it was just a public phone box."

Qi Liang shook his head, feeling sad.

The company's most important project almost collapsed because of his negligence.

He personally found that key staff member from another Internet company. He was an old man who had been with him for several years.

"Forget it, the technical department will coordinate with the technical staff at TX to ensure that the project goes online the day after tomorrow."

Without dwelling on this issue any longer, Zhou Anan turned to the technical director and said.

For now, time trumps everything.

"We must complete the task on time."

Seeing the boss looking over, Pan Shaofu replied solemnly.

"In terms of publicity, change it."

Since it was launched half a month in advance, Zhou Anan felt that the publicity plan must be changed.

The company's original decision was to give away free tickets to concerts featuring the Taiwanese kings, queens and her group starting from July 1st, launching a new round of publicity activities, and slowly intensifying the offensive. On the 15th, on WeChat The project went online and added some fire, completely igniting the entire summer vacation.

Of course, this is not possible now. Time is tight. On the day No. 1 goes online, it must attract attention in one fell swoop and not give the opponent a chance to catch up.

The meeting lasted for more than an hour. After the three carriages left, Zhou Anan leaned on the boss's chair to rest.

After driving for more than three hours and working non-stop for two hours, how could I not be tired?

Naturally, a pair of cold hands placed on his head, gently soothing his fatigue.

"With the Qinglan Group and the US Open, you are responsible for communicating with them about the situation."

While enjoying the services of the beautiful secretary, Zhou Anan also does not forget about the company's affairs.

The good cooperation last time, this time the ticket giveaway event, naturally the three companies are together.

Of course, Zhou Anan felt that the insufficient funds of the celebrity network was definitely not the main reason.

Hum hum, when the Weike project is successfully launched, the funds can really be spent casually.

"OK."

Controlling her strength, Huang Ying secretly wrote down the affairs.

After waking up from a short nap, Zhou Anan was full of energy again, thinking about where to have dinner.

Competing with Jiu Lang cannot affect the number of times he eats.

"Brother Ruan, what a wonderful move you have."

Sitting in the revolving restaurant in the port city, Jing Wuyou swayed the red wine glass in his hand, with the confidence on his face that he seemed to be strategizing thousands of miles away.

"Fourth brother has won the prize and wishes us a big profit."

Showing a slightly reserved smile, Ruan Chenghai was also very proud of his operation.
