Reinventing the Millennium

The first meeting of Guahao.com in Shanghai was over. Yang Wan and others left first, leaving only three shareholders in the conference room.

"When will Teacher Su come?"

Zhou Xin was not so nervous and left his seat to stretch his gluteal muscles.

"Weiwei will come to Shanghai the day after tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Hu Meili will look after Luzhou first." Yu Hong mentioned her name, feeling like she was rising quickly in the company.

"We are indeed short of people." Zhou Xin sighed.

Yu Hong walked to the whiteboard and looked at the three magnetic buckles on the map. She asked her boss, who was looking at the scenery with his back, "Xiao Fang, what do you mean by what you just said at the meeting? Will it be listed after the third round of financing?"

Zhou Xin also turned his attention. Now with the development, has Brother Fang's judgment changed?

"If there can be a third round, then we should consider listing it." Fang Zhuo said lightly, "This is a normal process."

Yu Hong asked strangely: "This 'normal' of yours, is it normal?"

"Of course the company must follow normal procedures." Fang Zhuo said tactfully.

Obviously this was not good news, but both Yu Hong and Zhou Xin breathed a sigh of relief. The boss still insisted on his judgment on the future.

"Let's focus on development now. The faster we develop, the more market we occupy, the more likely we are to raise the second round of money this year." Fang Zhuo judged, "New players have entered the field, and this field is bustling. Finally, the country will definitely take action to plan.”

Yu Hong casually took a magnetic buckle and nailed it to the capital, and asked: "Are the people above so determined to control it? Don't they consider the needs of enterprises in the market?"

"There is no doubt that it is because we want to represent the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people." Fang Zhuo quoted a sentence and said with confidence, "It's okay. If only one or two companies can exist after the market is regulated, then we must have a quota. .”

Yu Hong smiled and said: "Team Leader Zheng promised?"

"How is it possible? I have never communicated with him about this at all." Fang Zhuo shook his head and looked at the Oriental Pearl Tower again, "But I think there will be such a day."

…

On the last day of March, Su Wei, the HR director of Guahao.com, arrived in Shanghai, and Yu Hong went to pick up her good friend.

The two of them arrived at the office first.

"Ah, this floor-to-ceiling window is so luxurious! You can take in the Huangpu River at a glance!" Su Wei dressed in plain clothes, saw that there were only two or three people in the office, and relaxed after entering the CEO's office, "There are just a few people, not like the one I'm in Where are the well-known Internet companies I saw on the news?"

"Well-known Internet company? Which one wrote like this?" Yu Hong looked at her best friend looking around with a smile.

Su Wei thought for a while and said, "It seems to be the China Economic Times, which reports on the new atmosphere of the Internet during this period."

Yu Hong has recently learned to focus on the broader industry. Hearing this, he nodded: "It does mean something like this. In the past two years, everyone has been building portals, but after they were listed, they were quite weak. However, in our field, It belongs to a niche field and the total market size is limited.”

Su Wei looked at Yu Hong in surprise and found that she had a calm demeanor when she said these words, which was rarely seen before.

"What are you looking at?" Yu Hong touched her face.

"It's nothing, I just haven't seen you for a long time and miss you." Su Wei walked around the CEO's office and said with a smile, "Director Yu, please support me in my future work."

"Support, support, together we sisters will form the largest small group in the registration network!" Yu Hong pinched her waist and smiled, "It's just around the corner to sideline Fang Zhuo!"

The door to the CEO's office was pushed open, and the real owner of the office arrived.

"Teacher Xiao Su is here, you don't have to smile so exaggeratedly, right?"

Fang Zhuo came in with a smile and welcomed Su Wei: "It's a great honor to finally wait for Teacher Xiao Su to guide the work."

Su Wei shook Fang Zhuo's extended right hand and said seriously: "I just came here and I don't know what to do yet. I am planning a small group with Dahong."

"Hey, hey, don't say this in front of him. He is no longer your student." Yu Hong quickly stopped her words.

"Oh, yes, from now on you can't call me Teacher Xiao Su, but Director Su." Fang Zhuo chewed on the title, "Director Xiao Su, this is a good title, Bashi."

Su Wei smiled softly, and actually felt good about it from the bottom of her heart.

"A producer from CCTV is coming soon, about half an hour later." Fang Zhuo sat behind his desk and said with a smile, "A friend recommended me to do an entrepreneurial program before, so I filled out a form. In the past, but I’ve been busy lately, so I can’t talk to them.”

Yu Hong guessed: "They came to visit us? It must be because they saw that our website has been gaining momentum recently and is somewhat famous."

Fang Zhuo nodded, he thought so too.

"Then can we just watch?" Yu Hong asked, feeling that this was not normal work.

"Okay, I don't plan to go anyway. Our company has too many things to do." Fang Zhuo said nonchalantly.

The three of them were chatting casually in the office. Su Wei occasionally talked about the company situation she observed in Luzhou. The human resources aspect was indeed a relatively rough management.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, CCTV producer Hu Meng arrived at Guahao.com's Shanghai office as scheduled.

"Mr. Fang, hello, hello, I'm Hu Meng, the producer of CCTV Financial Channel." Hu Meng was very polite when we met.

Fang Zhuo introduced the two idle people in the office to the producer: "This is our company's marketing director Yu Hong, human resources director Su Wei, and producer Hu. Could you please make a trip? Alas, I've been really busy recently. busy."

Hu Meng greeted the two directors. Hearing the young president's straightforward rejection, he was not anxious and said with a smile: "Mr. Fang, you are recommended by the mentor we invited, Mr. Ma Hua Tengma."

"Well, I also talked to him, and he understands how busy I am lately." Fang Zhuo first tried to block the lobbyist with words. Although this entrepreneurial program was famous in his previous life, he now has the money from the first round of financing. It's really Not much interest anymore.

"The original idea for this show was Mr. Xiong Xiaoge from IDG, who is also a good friend of mine." Hu Meng added a bargaining chip.

Fang Zhuo was unmoved. You, IDG, didn’t invest money in me. You said you knew Sequoia pretty well.

"We have widely invited entrepreneurs from all walks of life. Some of them are in the same situation as you and are quite busy. Therefore, our team is considering making a compromise." Hu Meng narrated, "The program is a promotion competition system, you can skip After passing the previous auditions, 108, and 36, we have reserved two direct entry positions, so that the recording of the program will not take too long."

Fang Zhuo was stunned. In his memory, there was no such thing as watching a show in his previous life. However, time has changed, and it is not unusual for the competition system to change.

He pondered for a moment: "Isn't this unfair to other people?"

"The purpose of the program is to see the collision of ideas between different entrepreneurs. Of course, those who are at the forefront can be somewhat different. This is our respect for his achievements." Hu Meng said.

Fang Zhuo thought about it, and it seemed that he had saved a lot of time and energy. In this day and age, CCTV's influence is still quite large.

Hu Meng added: "In the future, some CCTV advertisements and media resources will be easy to talk to between friends."

Hey, this producer speaks too straightforwardly. Will he be your friend if he goes there?

Fang Zhuo smiled at her and asked, "Producer Hu is too persistent, but why did he have to come to me?"

"We have to consider the excitement and highlights of the program. The development of the registration network is very exciting. Alternatively, Mr. Fang can also come to our guest seat." Hu Meng is indeed very persistent.

Fang Zhuo shook his head repeatedly: "No, I can't give advice to others."

He was confused: "Besides, I hear what you mean, it also needs to be as exciting as a script, right? I can't act and pretend."

The two directors who were watching looked at each other with the same complaining mood.

Hu Meng smiled and said: "No need for that, just be yourself. Moreover, I saw on the application form submitted before that you already have a new project to talk about, right?"

Fang Zhuo fell into thinking.

He is actually a thin-skinned person and doesn't like to hurt other people's good intentions.

A few minutes later, Fang Zhuo asked: "Sister Hu, how do we place ads on CCTV?"

Hu Mengruo was well-informed, but he almost broke the defense. He was stunned for a second and replied: "Channels and time periods with different scores, our financial channel is easy to invest in,"

"That news broadcast..." Fang Zhuo paused, "Can I place the weather forecast advertisement behind that news broadcast?"

Hu Meng almost blushed: "That advertisement is very expensive, millions."

"Oh, what about the city patch ads in the weather forecast?" Fang Zhuo asked again.

Hu Meng replied: "It's a city landscape sticker, right? There are more than thirty at a time. The ones in big cities are more expensive, like Shencheng, they cost about 500,000."

"How long?" Fang Zhuo asked again.

"Usually two months." Hu Meng said with a smile, "Mr. Fang, have you planned to advertise for a long time?"

"The registered website needs some popularity. This price is not bad, but the one between News Network and Weather Forecast is too expensive." Fang Zhuo said with a smile, "Sister Hu, what is the recording time of our program?"

Hu Meng said simply: "The recording of the top 12 will be relatively late, around late May, which will only take a week or two."

Fang Zhuo counted the time, stood up, shook hands and said, "Sister Hu, please take care of me."

Hu Meng shook hands and joked: "Mr. Fang's character is really down-to-earth."

"Business development is not easy, but I am pragmatic." Fang Zhuo boasted, and then asked, "Sister Hu, just now you mentioned Mr. Xiong Xiaoge, President Xiong of IDG, can I leave his phone number?"
