Reinventing the Millennium

"Too der."

"I didn't expect that I would be like this on the show."

"The profile is good, the typhoon is good, but in terms of behavior..."

Fang Zhuo immediately watched "Win in China" on the CCTV Financial Channel, and for the first time he saw his own behavior on the show. Well, it was actually a bit mean, which is not good.

Of course, the program footage intentionally or unintentionally gave M1 a lot of shots, which is quite satisfying.

After the program was broadcast, greetings from friends and relatives arrived quickly.

"Brother, can you become a star in the future?" My sister Zhao Suqi's voice in the hospital was very excited.

"Er smash, what's going on with you? You must be steady in everything you do!" The advice given by the old lady from my hometown was nothing short of instructive. She was surprised by the older boy's subversive behavior.

"Xiao Fang, it's okay. I didn't expect you to be very good at recording the show. Let me ask, were you arranged to do that?" Yu Hong called over just after the show had finished, "Every step was perfect." It’s beyond my expectation, but it’s indeed something you can do!”

"Oh, yes, everyone in the company who had free time basically watched your program collectively. They asked me to convey their respects. Well done, boss. I want to be the first."

The calls came one after another, and everyone was very enthusiastic about CCTV programs, even if it was just a financial program.

Fang Zhuo felt that he had never been bombarded with such intensive phone calls when he received national honors before, and he had truly experienced the powerful communication capabilities of the CCTV platform.

However, there is a delay in broadcasting and recording of the program. When CCTV's four channels broadcast the first day of the top 12 business battles, the seven-day business battle had been recorded, and Fang Zhuo was successfully shortlisted for the top 5.

To say that this business war is actually not exciting, it is just selling things in a different way, and there is also a team competition.

Although it was not all on paper, Fang Zhuo still felt a little bit empty, especially one day when he went to the supermarket to sell red wine. He didn't do anything, just stopped in the red wine pile, and the sales volume throughout the whole day was inexplicably higher than others. The players are much better.

The process of turning 12 into 5 can basically be summed up in three words - ingenuity + baffling + wisdom. After this is over, there will be two days of rest given by the program team.

As for the follow-up, the process of "Winning in China" is somewhat different from the one I remember in my previous life. It probably has changed a lot. The process of selecting 3 of the top 5 players is that the five contestants describe their entrepreneurial projects, comment on each other's opponents, and the judges comment and score. It sounds quite explosive. concentrated.

"Mr. Fang, I feel like the program team has made changes." Judge Ma Huateng talked on the phone about the subsequent recording, and couldn't help but reveal the news that the rules of choosing 3 from 5 were different from before.

"Oh, was this also changed casually?" Fang Zhuo didn't know much about the program and felt that it was not very rigorous.

Ma Huateng had already recorded many episodes. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Maybe you think it's more interesting after the change. I feel like it's more interesting after you come to this show."

Fang Zhuo made a joke: "Look, gold shines wherever it is. I'm shining brightly when I cross the border."

"Speaking of cross-border, I learned a little bit about the domestic player market." Ma Huateng suddenly remembered something. He originally became interested when he saw that Fang Zhuo was very optimistic about the player, but after learning about it, he gave up the idea, "The competition is quite fierce. It’s intense, not blue ocean.”

"Everything moves, changes, and develops." Fang Zhuo replied blankly, still full of confidence.

Ma Huateng didn't say any more opinions. His core business was enough to worry about.

However, one day later, one day before CCTV Finance continued to record, something happened in the Internet world that shocked the industry - Sina, which is listed on the US stock market, held a board of directors and announced that founder Wang Zhidong would be relieved of all duties in the company.

Sina was listed on the U.S. stock market last year, and kicked out its founder in the middle of this year, which shocked almost all Internet company executives.

"Mr. Fang, did you hear? Wang Zhidong of Sina was kicked out of his own company."

When Ma Huateng was recording before, he was still concerned about the attention of the contestants. This time, for the first time, he found Fang Zhuo who was waiting in the waiting room for the 5-3 selection and talked about the news that swept the industry yesterday.

"Well, I received several calls." Fang Zhuo nodded, "Sina's equity is too chaotic and he can't control it."

Ma Huateng sighed: "A listed company, this is a domestic Internet company listed in the United States!"

"So, this is a wake-up call. You can get financing from venture capital and private equity, but the control of the company must be firmly in your hands." Fang Zhuo said, "Do you know who called me yesterday? Shen Xin's people."

He continued: "Shen Xin said that Sina's situation would never happen, which reassured me that they are more sensitive than me, which is quite interesting."

Ma Huateng looked a little strange.

Fang Zhuo noticed this person's performance and asked, "What's wrong?"

Ma Huateng coughed and said angrily, "They didn't call me."

Shen Xin acquired 10% of Penguin's shares through Fang Zhuo's help and is a joint shareholder of Guahao.com and Penguin.

Fang Zhuo suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a bit awkward. He quickly laughed and said, "Really? Hahaha, uh, the cameras are coming in. Let's talk tonight. This Wang Zhidong is too careless."

The cameras really came in, and so did the judges.

Ma Huateng put aside some dissatisfaction in his heart. Although Shen Xin did not call, the contract they signed to acquire shares stipulated that they would only pay dividends. It seems that they will have to stick to this for subsequent acquisitions. They must pay attention to control in future financing and listing. right.

Today's show was recorded indoors. There were seven judges and guests in total, and there were many audiences outside the venue.

As a loyal audience, Guan Jianguo got two live tickets thanks to his daughter's appointment with the school principal. He was now sitting in the third row. He and Guan Jin watched helplessly as Ma Huateng and Fang Zhuore, one of the judges, chatted for a quarter of an hour. .

"This is really an insider relationship." Guan Jin looked at this scene and muttered, "But it fits my impression of his last show. He is not taboo about meat and vegetables."

"What's the inside story? Didn't you say that Guanhao.com is doing well? That's because of their personal connections." Guan Jianguo completely changed his impression of the program at first sight and began to favor the man who might become his daughter's boss. .

Guan Jin noticed the on-site director's gaze wandering over, quickly shut up and concentrated on watching the recording of the show.

The judges still read out the rules of the competition, and then the host briefly introduced the current top five players in the country.

There was an air-dropped spot among the top 12 in the previous episode. However, in just one episode of the show, he used his incompatible style to break the audience's doubts about this spot.

At this point, the audience still doesn't know that he "personally" eliminated teammates with whom he has a good relationship in the next episode.

However, the program team discovered the potential of the president of Guahao.com and did not hesitate to make slight adjustments to the rules, changing from reality to fiction and turning into a paper talk mode of explanation + criticism + answering questions.

After each contestant finishes speaking, four other contestants will immediately try to find fault. This will also make it easier for the contestant to accumulate anger and pay it back in subsequent sessions.

The first person to speak was Fang Zhuo. He was thinking about what happened to the founder of Sina yesterday. For a moment, he didn't understand the good intentions of the program team in too subtle a way. He just talked about the original intention of the program with a smile and contentment.
