Rebirth of the Internet Overlord

{Time: September 29, 2004}

{Location: Flower Planting-Special Zone}

After hanging up the phone, Ning Zimo closed his eyes and leaned back on the chair. The serious words he said accidentally in a taxi 2 years ago came to mind.

Unexpectedly, the driver named Guo Benyu really listened to it, and then tried his best to get a piece of land. It happened that this piece of land was what Emperor Penguin needed, and Guo Benyu decided to use that piece of land in just a few sentences.

A piece of land was sold to them.

This made Ning Zimo feel that the old saying that you sow melons will reap, sow melons and beans will reap, and it was vividly reflected in this matter.

Now, I am afraid that I will have to come to thank you for this favor after I return to the Special Administrative Region.

Smiling and shaking his head, when Ning Zimo opened his eyes again, all he could see were pairs of curious faces.

This is Peiping,

Yahoo Planting Office!

…

He left California on September 7 and moved to Germany. During the few days of his stay, Ning Zimo specially chatted with Chen Shijun, Pan Yu, Zhuang Zhanpeng and the Kaltix trio, respectively, about YouTube, ACS, Feixun Technology and

The development of bing Europe was discussed with everyone.

Then he flew to Fuzhou and stayed for a few days. It was not until September 26 that Ning Zimo said goodbye to Luo Shuohan who was doing financial inspections, and Ning Zimo took Dong Qianqian to Peking. It was not until September 29 that Ning Zimo

The second day in Peking.

It was also my first day at Yahoo!

Regardless of how everyone here feels, when Ning Zimo saw the faces sitting in the Yahoo Flower Planting conference room and matched them with the Yahoo Flower Planting staff information provided by Xi Dan in his hand, he actually felt that he could not suppress the feeling in his heart.

The joy of finding a treasure.

Who are these people in front of me?

Li Junling, Vice President of Yahoo Flowers, is responsible for the operations department of the Yahoo Flowers website. In 1987, he studied in the junior class of the University of Science and Technology of China; graduated in engineering thermophysics in 1991; in 1992, he received a master's degree in mechanical engineering from Stanford University; in 1995, he received a master's degree in mechanical engineering from Stanford University.

He has participated in two start-up companies and helped them get listed on Nasdaq; joined McKinsey & Company in 2000 to engage in management consulting

industry;

Cao Guangrong, executive vice president of human resources at Yahoo!, holds a master's degree from the School of International Relations; has an MBA degree from the School of International Business Administration at Peking University and Fordham University in New York.

Shen Jianming, the only woman in the senior management, is the vice president of Yahoo Flowers and is currently in charge of the mailbox operations department. Before joining Yahoo Flowers, she worked at the online portal New Wolf for nearly eight years, serving successively as business development director and deputy general manager of business development.

and Vice President of Marketing, has rich experience in online marketing and brand promotion. She

Not only did he assist New Wolf in establishing the group's business development department, but also reached strategic partnerships with a number of top international brands such as Intel, Motorola, Johnson & Johnson, and Ju Hardware. He also led the implementation of a series of major Sina brand promotion events, which greatly enhanced New Wolf's reputation.

Competitiveness in resource system and brand building.

And this group of extremely capable people also protect Zhou Hongyi, the former founder of 3721 and now the CEO of Yahoo!

No matter how they developed in their previous lives, at this stage, the qualifications of these people are the most lacking complement to the Emperor Penguin team today. This is also one of the important reasons why Ning Zimo wants to focus on winning Yahoo Planting Flowers, and also

It is through the golden brand of Yahoo that we can bring these people together.

Although Yahoo held the golden key in its previous life, it developed in an acclimatized manner, which directly led to Yahoo disappearing from the public many years later.

But in this life,

It won't happen again.

Because, I, Ning Zimo, am here!

However, not everyone welcomes it.

Zhou Hongyi felt like he was sitting on pins and needles while sitting on the stool. He always felt uncomfortable no matter how he sat, and even his sitting posture changed several times.

Yahoo America has been selling Yahoo Plant for some time, and until now he still can’t figure out why Yahoo Plant was sold! You must know that Yahoo America acquired his 3721 only in November last year, and now it’s September 2004.

Less than a year has passed since the merger and acquisition work. As a result, before he sat in the CEO position of Yahoo Planting, Yahoo Planting, which was integrated with 3721, once again experienced a huge change.

This time, it was a more direct change of ownership!

Is it because Yahoo America feels that Yahoo Flower Investment has failed? But in the past 10 months, he has obviously brought 40 million rice gold profit to Yahoo Flower Plant, which is equivalent to 320 million yuan.

But as soon as Zhou Hongyi's mind turned to money, he suddenly stopped thinking.

Yes, Yahoo! has made 40 million in less than a year in his hands. But the young Yahoo! flower acquirer sitting across the conference table, after 16 months of development, his Skype project has earned 5.6 billion US dollars.

It was sold at a price that created a new Internet miracle in one fell swoop.

In comparison, the 40 million U.S. dollars he earned from growing flowers with Yahoo is not enough in front of him.

Thinking of this, Zhou Hongyi could only sigh secretly in his heart. He took his eyes off the bridge of his nose and rubbed his brow helplessly. He had done this action several times in the past ten minutes.

Anyway, after thinking about it these days, he always felt that there was no comparison. Facing such a new owner, he thought about it and felt that he had no power to resist.

Perhaps this was the real reason why he was furious when he learned that Yahoo Flower had changed hands that day.

Or maybe,

It's time,

Have you left?

Ning Zimo muted the phone and simply threw it aside. If the call hadn't been so persistent and it was a number whose name was recorded, he wouldn't have picked up the call at such an important moment.

However, now that the Emperor Penguin industrial land matter has come to an end, it must now return to the main line.

After thinking for a while, Ning Zimo tapped the table with his knuckles and said, "Everyone, these little things have been dealt with just now. Let's get back to the main topic again. After all, everyone knows each other, so now let's continue what we just started.

topic, let’s talk about the next development of Yahoo Flower.”

Ning Zimo saw Zhou Hongyi's actions in his eyes, but did not analyze his behavior carefully.

He understood that there would definitely be some gaps among the senior Yahoo officials in front of him after this change of ownership.

After all, as the former headquarters of Yahoo!, Yahoo America used to be a company with a market value of hundreds of billions. As for Emperor Penguin, so far, except for his own identity of creating the miracle of the Internet, he has never been anything in the eyes of the outside world.

Remarkable results.

Of course, the outside world’s understanding of emperor penguins is too one-sided.

Now, he must show off his muscles to Yahoo's senior officials before he can carry out the following plan.

After a pause, Ning Zimo continued, "In addition to formally meeting everyone this time, the most important thing for me to do when I come to the company is to chat with the leaders of Yahoo Flowers. Let's see the next development of Yahoo Flowers.

In the plan, do we, the Emperor Penguins, provide appropriate resource support?”

???

A group of senior executives at Yahoo! were a little surprised when they heard the details in Ning Zimo's words. Logically speaking, this young Internet giant who created the miracle of the Internet should not be the first thing to do after taking over Yahoo!

? But what do you think he means? He doesn’t seem to want to get involved in the specific business of Yahoo Flowers? Instead, he wants to provide more development resources to support Yahoo Flowers?

Zhou Hongyi also put on his glasses in confusion and looked directly at Ning Zimo. For a while, he couldn't tell what the young boss opposite him meant.

Seeing Zhou Hongyi's gaze, Ning Zimo nodded at him and said, "Dear colleagues, before I acquired Yahoo Flowers, I asked the team to conduct a detailed analysis of Yahoo Flowers' operating conditions.

I know that during the past period, under the leadership of Mr. Zhou, our dumb tiger species made a profit of 40 million US dollars in less than a year. This income is considered to be the most generous income of Yahoo species since its establishment. Therefore,

Mr. Zhou and you all have still made good achievements."

Ning Zimo's words were so sincere that Yahoo's senior executives couldn't help but nod.

But even though he could tell that it was a sincere compliment, Zhou Hongyi still smiled bitterly in his heart. Because such a compliment from anyone else is considered a compliment, and it is inevitable to say this to the person opposite.

It made him feel uncomfortable.

With 40 million U.S. dollars and 5.6 billion U.S. dollars, who has made good achievements?

Ning Zimo saw a flash of embarrassment on Zhou Hongyi's face, but he still didn't pay attention to these details. Anyway, his purpose of coming this time was very clear, which was to stabilize the senior management after the acquisition and then provide resources appropriately.

and adjust the direction so that Yahoo Planting Flowers can continue to achieve good results in his hands.

It's just that there are prerequisites for achieving good results, and these people must be quickly integrated into the Emperor Penguin system.

But there are many ways to integrate, the most direct way is resource integration.

Ning Zimo raised the information in his hand, and this action immediately attracted everyone's attention. But they immediately understood the new boss's purpose, so they quickly picked up the information they had just distributed and read it carefully.

At the same time, Ning Zimo's voice came over.

"What I currently have in my hands is not explicitly stated to be under Emperor Penguin's projects such as those in the information. The first is the Bing search engine, which was established in Europe in 2003 and is currently entering the US market...then the Gmail email and

Its dropbox project already has nearly 50 million users..."

The Internet communication rate in 2004 was not as strong as the previous mobile Internet era. Although the sale of Skype at the beginning of the year attracted the attention of Internet people around the world to Ning Zimo, many people tried to dig out Ning Zimo's registration at that time.

Various industries in growing flowers.

But because of the opacity of information in this era, not many people have really dug out the most substantive and useful information about Ning Zimo. Until now, most people only remember Ning Zimo, a young man who invested in Blizzard immediately after selling Skype.

It's a game company, and any more are just scattered things that people don't want to understand.

Therefore, when everyone saw the "resources" that could be provided to Yahoo for planting and integrating, they finally realized that the young boss in front of them was not as weak as they knew.

Zhou Hongyi looked at the information in his hands with increasing concentration. The more he read, the more waves surged in his heart.

It turns out that the emperor penguin in the young boss's mouth is such a behemoth. After Yahoo Flower went through this acquisition, it turned out to be inadvertently leaning on a big mountain?

He, the CEO who once led Yahoo to grow flowers,

I'm afraid I have to face up to the new owner in front of me.

but,

In the end, he

What do you want to do?
