Reinventing the Millennium

The awarding ceremony for Lin'an's annual advanced units was relatively solemn. The leader of the city's largest society made a speech, and the deputy leaders in charge of different fields made targeted summaries. Then, industry representatives took the stage to recall the past and present the sweet memories.

As the only private Internet company in Lin'an to be selected, Fang Zhuo did not take the stage. He watched Ma Min speak in the audience, thanking the government for its support and looking forward to the development of the industry.

Finally, there was the awarding of honors. A row of people in suits and ties stood on the stage and faced several cameras.

"The registration network is doing well."

"Did you win the first round?"

The leaders handed out trophies from east to west. Fang Zhuo and Ma Ren, who were on the west side, stood together. The latter suddenly started chatting in a low voice.

"No, let's try to get it melted this year." Fang Zhuo replied in a low voice as well.

Ma Ren nodded slightly and added: "When you have time, you can come to Alibaba to have a look and help you with e-commerce."

Fang Zhuo thought it was just a small talk, but he didn't expect that this guy even wanted to make his own money. What kind of e-commerce can this registration website do now? It's pure deception...

He still wanted to speak but saw that the leaders were already approaching, so he had to complain in his heart.

I don’t know if the leaders of different companies are also particular about awarding awards. Fang Zhuo’s trophy was handed over by Deputy Mayor Qiu Di and he was patted on the shoulder. Next to him, Ma Ren was awarded the honor by the big boss, and they exchanged a few words. .

After all the company representatives received the trophies, the photographers in the audience pointed out their positions, and a group photo representing Lin'an's 2000 Advanced Units was taken in due time.

Representatives of state-owned enterprises stood on both sides of the leadership, and representatives of two private Internet companies stood on one side.

Some people have serious expressions, some are smiling, some are slightly frowning, and some have firm eyes.

As for Fang Zhuo, his mouth shape was to shout "eggplant".

The commendation meeting for advanced units was over, and the leaders and representatives left on their own. However, when Fang Zhuo carried the trophy out the door, he found that everyone was getting into cars one after another, and he had no choice but to take a taxi back.

"Hey, you are amazing! Are you commended?"

The taxi driver was in awe when he saw the young man in a suit and tie holding a trophy in the passenger seat.

Fang Zhuo had rented a car in Lin'an many times, and this was the first time he was called such a polite person. He was a little flattered and admitted, "Well, I got an advanced unit in our city."

He knew what the master wanted to ask and continued directly: "I work on the Internet and register online."

"Huh? Is it the registration network?" the taxi driver answered.

Fang Zhuo was surprised and said, "Have you heard of it?"

"Hey, it's New Year's Day, did you place an advertisement in the newspaper? I saw it in the newspaper." The master smiled heartily, "Later, when I came home from work, I chatted with my neighbors and wondered what the registration website was. .”

"Then our advertising is really worth it." Fang Zhuo smiled slightly.

"The Internet is great, it is high technology and it is the development of the times." The taxi driver sighed with emotion like a veteran cadre, and he was inspired again, "You said that you can register on the Internet, will we who drive taxis one day be able to do it too? Combine this high technology?”

Fang Zhuo thought for a while: "Master, how old are you?"

"This year is 41." The master replied.

Fang Zhuo silently calculated in his mind and said, "Then I guess we can still catch up."

"What are you catching up with?" The master was puzzled.

"The Internet is sweeping across all industries, and taxis are no exception." Fang Zhuo looked at the trophy in his hand, which had the name "Guanhao.com" engraved on it.

The taxi driver was delighted: "That's great, can I still catch up?"

Fang Zhuo nodded and used his classic words to persuade people to get rich: "Master, if you have money to buy more houses, don't deposit your money in the bank."

"Hey, is it true? Aren't you from the registration website? Why are you helping to sell the house? The house prices are not cheap now." The taxi driver muttered.

The municipal party committee office building is not far from the office of the Registration Network, and within a few words of small talk, the car was almost there. Fang Zhuo mainly didn't want to walk on the road wearing a suit and carrying a trophy.

He could already see Yu Hong's figure, and he raised his trophy to the taxi driver: "Master, remember the name of my website. If one day you become famous, think about me advising you to buy a house. If so, it’s probably not too late.”

"Remember, it's the registration website. I have time to learn how to use it. I'll definitely remember it if I register a few more times. Hey, you're interesting." The taxi driver slowly stepped on the brakes, took the money, and looked at With the simple office and the conspicuous signboard above, I left in a hurry.

Fang Zhuo glanced at the car in the distance and wondered if registering more would be more interesting.

"Xiao Fang, are you back? Come on, let me see the trophy!"

"No cash reward?"

"Just a bare trophy? It's not even gold-plated!"

Yu Hong was checking promotional materials at the door of the office. When she turned around, she saw the trophy her boss was carrying, and she excitedly grabbed it.

"It's too greedy. I'm already satisfied with this." Fang Zhuo said with a smile, "I'll put it directly on our desk later so that every employee can see it."

"What should I do if I lose it?" Yu Hong happily found a towel to polish the trophy.

"This is for viewing. It's pointless to hide it. If there are more trophies in the future, I will build a special display cabinet." Fang Zhuo saw Yu Hong's smiling face and felt that this thing must be shared to be interesting.

While the two were talking, the cell phone in his suit pocket rang.

When receiving the award today, Fang Zhuo didn't put his phone on his waist. He was still a little uncomfortable with it.

The caller was Vice President Zheng Lang of Sequoia Capital.

"Hello, Mr. Fang, I'm Zheng Lang."

This was the first time Fang Zhuo received a call from Sequoia since he took the money from Sequoia. He couldn't help laughing and said: "Mr. Zheng, you don't care about me. I thought you were forgotten."

Zheng Lang actually forgot a little. After he was busy with the company's bigger projects, he suddenly remembered the website he had invested a small amount in last time when he went to Lin'an for a meeting. When he logged in today, he found that many major hospitals in Lin'an had already been online.

"How could you forget? However, in the final analysis, our venture capital projects are still about investing in people, and I always trust the other party." Zheng Lang seemed to be feeling emotional, and continued, "Mr. Fang, it's almost the Chinese New Year. Your financial statements are here. I'll let people look over my shoulder a little bit."

Fang Zhuo thought for two seconds and said truthfully: "Mr. Zheng, our accounts may be a bit messy. We have been busy expanding the hospital in Lin'an recently. I asked my cousin to be the treasurer. Before others arrive, we will keep the accounts in general. "

Zheng Lang was not too surprised and said in deep thought: "Mr. Fang, it's not a good thing to be so irregular."

"Yes, there is a real shortage of people. We are constantly working every day. Now Lin'an is basically open. My cousin will not come here until after the Chinese New Year. The website needs to stabilize the development of Zhejiang and Anhui provinces. The next step is to develop in Shencheng." Fang Zhuo threw out He made a small plan and said, "I just won the annual advanced unit commendation from Lin'an today. I will try to get the commendation from Shanghai next year."

Zheng Lang digested the news. Well, the progress was faster than expected. The commendation of advanced units was undoubtedly the result of administrative involvement.

He stopped mentioning the financial statements and congratulated him on the progress.

"Oh, yes, Mr. Zheng, I'm going to borrow some money from the bank, is that okay?" Fang Zhuo also mentioned the bank loan that had not yet been written.

"Is there a funding gap in our website?" Zheng Lang consciously became "we".

Fang Zhuo just informed: "The bank has lending quotas, so I will help you."

He continued: "Mr. Zheng, I'm going to Shanghai in a few days. Do you have time there? We can meet and talk."

"Okay, Mr. Fang, I'll sweep the couch to greet you." Zheng Lang said enthusiastically.

Fang Zhuo said a few polite words and hung up the phone.

Well...finance cousin, there is no need to delay.
