Reinventing the Millennium

Lou Weifan is a senior employee of Duji.

At first, he was doing promotion for Fengchao System. Later, he switched to commercial operations. This year, with the structural adjustment, he became the director of the forward charging business group, responsible for the Duji game.

In six years, there were three businesses, and every switch was because the leader Wang Zhan changed his direction, and because of this, he was deeply branded as a faction.

On April 26, Lou Weifan attended the strategy meeting of the forward charging business group hosted by Mr. Wang, listened to the competition strategy in the new era, and planned to develop mobile games together with the acquired 91 Wireless.

Although Li Mingyuan stepped down due to the incident, 91 Wireless itself has quite good traffic, which is also recognized by the industry, but...

The prince is so young, and he reaches out too hastily!

Lou Weifan did not share the same sympathy with Li Mingyuan, but he could not help but secretly feel that it was a pity. If it develops smoothly, Prince Li would really have a bright future. If he could brush up his resume in Duji, even if he went out, his resources and connections would be top-notch. Who would not respectfully call him " Mr. Li".

Now...the only sentence left is "Strictly investigate Li Mingyuan" which originated from Yike.

On the 27th and 28th, Lou Weifan went to Fuzhou on a business trip to meet with people from 91 Wireless for cooperation. When he returned to the capital in the early morning of the 29th, he was informed by Vice President Wen Yunyan that he was not responsible for the mobile game business for five minutes before he even sat down in the office.

"Ah? What do you mean?" Lou Weifan stood up in confusion, frowned when facing Wen Ji Po with a stiff attitude, "I'm not responsible? What do you mean? I didn't receive a notice from Mr. Wang."

Wen Yunyan said with a half-smile: "Mr. Wang's notice? Which Mr. Wang? There is no Mr. Wang in the company."

Lou Weifan was about to speak when he suddenly remembered the rumors he heard in Fuzhou yesterday, saying that Mr. Wang was leaving Duji.

As a die-hard, he just laughed at this. There are all kinds of outrageous gossips in giant companies every day. He had a meeting with Mr. Wang the day before yesterday. If he left, would he still arrange his work normally?

Please, think about it with your brain.

News that is so false that no one believes it!

but……

Lou Weifan looked at Mrs. Wen Ji with doubts. Why did she say that? How dare she say that?

He held it in for a while and said, "I'm going to find Mr. Wang!"

Wen Yunyan said slightly exaggeratedly: "Looking for Mr. Wang? Okay, I'll wait here for you to come back."

Lou Weifan left the office and went up to the fourth floor full of doubts. Then he saw a clean office...

While touching his cell phone, he asked his colleagues on the floor in shock: "Where is Mr. Wang?"

"I heard..." A familiar colleague also looked ugly and said in a low voice, "There is no official notice or news, but I heard that Mr. Wang has left."

Lou Weifan felt unbelievable and asked tentatively: "What kind of 'gone'?"

Unless he left suddenly, otherwise, how could he leave suddenly?

"Go, go... uh, resign. I don't know, I really don't know. It's just sudden, but I shouldn't be responsible for the company's situation." A familiar colleague said hesitantly.

He then added: "Anyway, there is no warning. Many people in the company are expected to make major adjustments."

Lou Weifan got off the elevator in a daze, he was among the ones being adjusted...

Without warning, he left like lightning.

The moment he pushed into his office, he was particularly hoping that his cell phone would ring, hoping that Mr. Wang would confirm that this was false news, and hoping that he would return as quickly as possible, but...

The only thing that caught my eye was Aunt Wen's joking expression.

Lou Weifan is awake and the office is empty. He is the evil one!

He stood and saw that Aunt Wen who was sitting had no intention of getting up. A kind of sadness came to his heart. In the blink of an eye, he said with hope: "The business in my hand has just begun to take shape, and the current transfer effect is very good." , it is expected to become a small hit in the second half of the year, and it has not yet been distributed by 91 Wireless. Mr. Liao also knows about it, so I asked him to come over."

Lou Weifan thought of his boss Liao Jun. Although he only joined the company this year, he was responsible for part of the business of the game division. He took it very seriously and knew the distribution of the games in his hands.

Wen Yunyan's smile grew brighter and she said without hesitation: "Liao Jun will follow."

Lou Weifan: "..."

He was even more confused. Mr. Liao... followed him?

Why, why didn’t anyone notify me?

Where have you gone, where have you gone, where have you all gone!

Lou Weifan was dumbfounded thinking about everything today: "I, I, this..."

"What? Director Lou also wants to resign?" Wen Yunyan asked with a smile.

Lou Weifan looked at Aunt Wen's provocative eyes, and for a moment he really wanted to resign immediately, but...

His throat slid up and down, he was silent for a while, and said: "No, that is, our traffic has just started to take effect. NetEase still has competing products on the market. I think it is best not to affect the business, otherwise it will be very difficult. Chase."

Wen Yunyan said unceremoniously: "Stop it if I ask you to. Did you talk to Liao Jun and Wang Zhan like this before? Or do you think it can't be done without you? You hand over the things in your hands now, and you will be responsible for whatever you want in the future." awaiting notice."

Seeing that Lou Weifan was silent, she said again: "You two, you are stretching your hands too hard. If you don't want to do it, just hand in your resignation letter quickly. Don't think about making small moves. If you have anything to explain, do it as soon as possible to avoid being investigated. If we all work together, it will be ugly when the time comes.”

Lou Weifan remained silent.

Wen Yunyan stared at the poison in front of her and asked: "Lou Weifan, do you understand?"

Lou Weifan sighed, nodded and said: "Yes, I understand, Mr. Wen."

I can’t quit, at least, I can’t quit now.

But when he saw Mr. Wen about to leave the office, he still maintained a responsible attitude and finally said: "The game streaming effect this time is really good."

Wen Yunyan said without looking back: "Make a good handover."

Lou Weifan was the only one left in the office, dazed and at a loss, but there were many people like him who had suffered the same fate as Du Ji.

Wang Zhan joined Duji twelve years ago and is known as the "Father of Duji Promotion". He has also moved into many businesses, large and small. The forward charging business he was reorganized this year alone involves music, reading, games and cooperation with different terminals. business value-added services.

This year, under the competitive pressure of Yike, Duji is accelerating its transformation in all aspects, and Wang Zhan and his staff are also moving forward according to their goals.

However, these step-by-step exploration attempts quickly fell apart with the sudden departure of BOSS.

On May 3, Duji’s announcement was long overdue. It briefly informed the outside world, which stirred up suspicion again, that senior vice president Wang Zhan had resigned due to personal and family reasons. Duji had approved and thanked the old man. Remember the contributions that people have made to the development of the company.

At the same time, Zeng Liang was promoted to vice president, and together with vice president Wang Jin, he was responsible for the business development of the forward charging business group.

"I am resigning due to personal and family reasons."

"Approved".

Duji almost dominated the attention of the Internet industry in the first half of the year.

Li Mingyuan, who was eliminated before, was known as the Prince of Duji. The one who was eliminated this time... My mother-in-law, do you really want to join in the fun from the front row in order to fight against Yike?

Many people are familiar with Wang Zhan's resume, but those who are not familiar with it can understand its importance just by looking at it.

At the moment when Li Mingyuan had just taken the blame and resigned, no one would believe that Wang Zhan suddenly resigned just because of the written description. In addition, a lot of gossip this time leaked from Duji, and everyone's appetite was already unlimited. It’s bursting at the seams.

"I resigned in the early morning of the 27th. No one knew about it. I really didn't know at all. There was no sign before the incident. After the incident, it was an earthquake!"

"It must have been sudden. Wang Zhan himself may have been very sudden, because his house was rented by the company, and the company vacated it only after the incident. There was no preparation in advance."

"I received a notice that Wang Zhan was leaving at 3 a.m., and the next morning there was a takeover meeting."

"When Wang Zhan was in the company before, he was like Lu Zhaoxi from Alibaba, Liu Chiping from Penguin, and Yu Hong from Yike. Although he has done some non-core business in the past two years, his sudden resignation is simply... awesome!"

Many anonymous sources revealed some internal details of Duji Company. No matter how the information from all parties is combined, the shock caused by Wang Zhan's resignation is particularly strong in Duji!

Nasdaq gave the news its full respect.

Duji's stock price fell sharply again, this time evaporating US$3.18 billion, and its market value was US$37.6 billion, which has fallen to the lowest point in 21 months.

The March rebound was still just around the corner, but in an instant a huge whirlpool appeared, swirling around Duji's market value, personnel, business, morale, transformation... desperately dragging them down!

What happened to Du Ji?

In the discussion about Du Ji, a lot of attention is still focused on a certain mysterious person, even though this time it seems that Du Ji is the internal blame.

There is no screenshot of Mr. Fang’s Moments this time. I don’t know if no one posted it or he didn’t post it himself, but there are also anonymous sources who broke the news.

——It is said that Mr. Fang set up a candle formation on Yike 23 and distributed the techniques, so Duji was so bad this time.

Anonymous revelations can be true or false, and this one is undoubtedly false.

——I heard that Mr. Li called Mr. Fang and the two of them cursed on the phone.

This is doubtful. No matter what the records say, Mr. Li doesn't seem like someone who would scold someone on the phone. It seems true that it was Mr. Fang who called Mr. Li to scold him.

——Mr. Li blocked Mr. Fang.

This... is really, really, really true! ! !

——Part of Mr. Fang’s evaluation of the Duji incident: Li Mingyuan went from director to VP in less than 2 years. This promotion is undoubtedly based on Robin’s preferences, even outside the process, when things go smoothly. No matter what we do, we will encounter headwinds and big and small problems will emerge. After reading the diary, we must also reflect on the internal situation of our company.

This... is probably true.

What happened in Duji is indeed worth taking as a warning.

The stock price plummeted, public opinion surged, and there was internal instability. Unfortunately, it rained all night.

Just the day after Duji’s announcement, Sogou, Duji’s number one competitor on the mobile side, announced a new strategic plan to vigorously recruit talents and transform into the web side.

This plan immediately aroused surprise. Since the establishment of Sogou, it has been focusing on the development of the mobile terminal, almost giving up on the PC terminal, and has always been under the banner of "the future is the mobile era". Why did it appear at this time?

Is it just for nausea?

Sogou CEO Wang Xiaochuan was interviewed.

"Yes, we still believe that the future is the mobile era, but this does not mean that PCs will disappear."

"We have noticed that some companies deliberately make the web experience poor in order to drive users to the mobile terminal. The transformation is of course the right thing to do, but is it for business development or for user experience?"

"We seem to be swimming against the trend, but our original intention remains the same. Whether it is medical advertising, the creation of a mobile content ecosystem, or the use of PC web pages, we want to provide users with high-quality services."

Wang Xiaochuan raised his voice and shouted: "Computer users are human beings too!"

The reporter couldn't help laughing.

Wang Xiaochuan also laughed and simply named him: "Some people say that we are doing the opposite. Whose 'Tao' is this 'Tao'? Search is not defined by degrees. We believe that this 'Tao' is the user's 'Tao'." So, how can we ‘oppose the opposite’?”

"We have a high budget to do our web version this time."

"Everyone can use it as much as they want. Don't worry about our two-front battle on mobile and PC. This transformation will be paid for by Duji in the future!"

"Oh, yes, we have internally named this PC plan, 'Here I Come'."

On May 4, Sogou launched the "Here I Come" countercurrent plan, and Wang Xiaochuan smiled happily under the camera.

People who eat melon generally believe that the name Sogou is taken from "I come, I see, I conquer", which shows the determination of this competition, but... As the party being attacked, Li Yanhong is very convinced that this is the handiwork of Fang Zhuo.

I said to him that day, "If you want to search, then go ahead." As a result, Sogou now has an "I'm here" online.

Li Yanhong seemed to have heard Fang Zhuo's voice in a trance.

I am coming.

I am coming.

I am coming.

"Boom."

The sound of a coffee cup being placed on the table interrupted Li Yanhong, who was struck by the demonic sound.

"Have a cup of coffee, and we'll stop the enemy." Li Yanhong's wife, Ma Dongmin, said softly, "It's a good thing to get rid of a stubborn disease. It's better to detect it early than late."

Li Yanhong picked up the coffee and took a sip. He felt the bitterness on the tip of his tongue and heart condensed together, and sighed: "I went to Wang Zhan that day with the intention of minimizing the big issue, but he..."

He admitted it straight away, preferring to push him away with his own hands, but it seemed that he had decided to leave in an instant.

"Wang Zhan was resentful, so he just left." Ma Dongmin said eloquently, "You are right to want to reduce big things to small things. The company is facing transformation, and Li Mingyuan has just been born, and the structure has just been adjusted. It should be stable It’s stable, but it’s also true that you can get rid of stubborn diseases. You know clearly that you have a tumor, but you can still let it get bigger?”

Li Yanhong knew that there was more to come, so he looked at his doctor's wife intently.

Ma Dongmin smiled and said: "Which one is more right depends on how the company will go next. If the company is good, it will be right. If the company is not good, it will be wrong."

She took two steps and looked towards the south: "Can you kill Mr. Fang by frowning here?"

Li Yanhong put down his coffee cup and suddenly said: "The situation in the company is different this time. Please go back to the company and help me."

Ma Dongmin once worked at Duji and had shares and voting rights, but he left the company in 2007. Since last year, he has been working as a FO family office to manage family wealth.

When she heard this, she hesitated for a moment and did not respond immediately.

"People in the company have a lot on their minds right now, and there are some things that I can't do directly. When you come back, you can also represent me." Li Yanhong said slowly, "You will be my special assistant."

Ma Dongmin walked for a while and said: "In recent years, the Internet and domestic companies have developed rapidly. Penguin was defeated by Yike. This is something no one expected. Taking Penguin as a lesson can help us know our gains and losses."

She turned back and said: "Penguin has seen a change in the past year or so. It is strengthening investment. Liu Chiping is from Goldman Sachs. He is quietly leading Penguin's ability to use capital. I think this is worth learning from. "

Li Yanhong listened quietly.

Ma Dongmin made a request: "I can go to the company, but I hope we can increase our investment impact."

Li Yanhong nodded slowly and agreed to the request.

"The company has recently experienced these situations. Now that they have resigned Li Mingyuan, since they have resigned Wang Zhan, and since they have resigned many people who were with them, this proves that there are still many things that have been ignored." Ma Dongmin said, " The functions of the internal audit and ethics committees need to be strengthened, and there must be a cold-faced judge to do a solid job."

Li Yanhong understood the meaning and asked, "Do you have someone to choose?"

"Weifan." Ma Dongmin said his name. "He was the audit manager of KPMG before joining the company, and he also did information disclosure work. He is trustworthy in this regard."

KPMG is one of the four largest accounting firms in the world.

Li Yanhong silently reviewed his name and resume in his mind. In principle, he was also willing to strengthen internal work. This time, Li Mingyuan, Wang Zhan and others really shocked him.

"Okay, let's discuss this matter in the company. Come on, Dr. Ma, the company needs you." Li Yanhong made the final invitation.

Ma Dongmin smiled: "Okay, Mr. Li."

She is a shareholder of the company. At this time, both public and private affairs are closely related, and we share weal and woe.

…

Three days later, Duji issued another announcement.

Now, the Internet has paid a lot of attention to Duji's announcement. Fortunately, there are no "resignations" or "personal reasons" this time. It seems to be a normal adjustment, and some structural functions have been reorganized, as if they are filling in holes.

After the meeting at the company, Fang Zhuo also took a look at Duji's summary of information over the past few days.

"Well, this Zeng Liang seems a bit familiar." Fang Zhuo tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

Qi He replied: "Hey, Mr. Fang, have you heard of his name? He was actually recruited by Wang Zhan? It didn't take long, it seems to be at the beginning of the year."

"Wang Zhan recruited him? How come he was promoted? He was not washed away?" Fang Zhuo was surprised.

"Who knows, maybe he is not that close to Wang Zhan. Du Ji has always been a monk from outside who likes to recite sutras." Qi He shook his head, "Wang Zhan has a high status. Zeng Liang alone is not enough, and he also has Wang Jin. , I don’t know who has the greater say.”

Fang Zhuo said something similar: "Wang Jin, Wang Jin, this name..."

"Mr. Fang, have you heard of his name? He came out of the University of Science and Technology. He previously worked at Alibaba and Google, and arrived at Duji a few years ago." Qi He was familiar with the top management of his competitors and added information, "I heard that Duji is now The autonomous driving project was established, and Wang Jin was the technical vice president responsible for this."

After Fang Zhuo heard this information, he finally retrieved his memory, as if he had heard his story, no, it was their story.

One was fired, and the other was asked to pay compensation after he left.

He then looked at the other information compiled and found that the newly appointed Wei Wei was probably one of the "Liu Shui Vice Presidents". Looking at his auditing background and work dynamics, he finally found out that he was a thief...

Fang Zhuo put down the document and sighed: "I wish them good luck."

Qi He could not help but be in awe when he heard Mr. Fang's sincere words. The boss's magnanimity was worth learning! Let’s learn from each other!
