Reinventing the Millennium

Fang Zhuo did not return to Shencheng immediately after returning to Lin'an to meet his old leader.

He walked to the edge of the West Lake, and unfortunately found that only the residual lotus was left, so he turned around and went to the hospital in Lin'an.

Unlike Shanghai, where traces of the subsidy war still remain, the situation at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University is stable, with an employee from the Registration Network standing by two machines to help maintain order.

One thing that is slightly different from the original is that the original computer + printer here have been replaced by a registration machine customized by the manufacturer, with the three words "Registration Network" clearly posted on it.

Fang Zhuo observed the number-taking situation for a while, then went up and chatted for a while with the new employee who didn't know him.

However, just when he was about to leave, he ran into an acquaintance and said hello.

"Hey, Mr. Fang, long time no see. Where did you come from?"

"Brother Li, I haven't seen you for a long time. I came over from Shanghai last night to do some work. I just have time to come to the hospital to see you." Fang Zhuo has a good memory. Even though he has contacted many leaders from places and hospitals, he still remembers it firmly. Written by Li Ruyi, Section Chief of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University.

Back then, eh, I can't say that year, just last year, he was the first to inform him that Top's people came to the hospital to inquire about the online registration business.

"If you think about it carefully, it didn't take long, but when I looked at the registration website in the newspaper and saw you on TV, I felt that time went too fast." Li Ruyi is responsible for the administrative work in the hospital, which is basically the same, and feels that time flies by. Slow, it can be seen that Fang Zhuo feels that time is too fast.

He said enthusiastically: "You have promised to come home and try your sister-in-law's cooking a long time ago. I guess you must be busy at ordinary times, and you haven't called me yet. I finally saw you today, but you are not allowed to leave."

Fang Zhuo pondered for a moment and said simply: "Okay, Brother Li, I won't be polite today."

Li Ruyi happily called her daughter-in-law first, and then took Fang Zhuo to chat about her performance in the hospital after registering online.

He could guess what Fang Zhuo was willing to hear, and it happened to be within his scope of work. In addition, his sister Li Wanshi worked in the Second Affiliated Hospital, and sometimes he would talk to her about the changes in the hospital. But there is something to say.

In the evening, Fang Zhuo insisted on buying two boxes of snacks and drinks before carrying them into Section Chief Li Ruyi's home.

As soon as you enter the door, the aroma of vegetables overflows.

"Sister-in-law, I am Fang Zhuo, Brother Li's long-lasting friend. I came here today just to try the dishes he often praises me. He said that your skills are better than those of a chef." Fang Zhuo is good at talking, and he is not afraid of compliments when he comes to visit.

"What kind of chef am I? It's just home-cooked food. Xiaofang, Ruyi told me that you are a great young man." Li Ruyi's wife Xu Huifen, wearing an apron, said with a hearty smile while cooking.

Li Ruyi said displeased: "Xiao Fang Xiao Fang, it's Mr. Fang."

Fang Zhuo hurriedly explained: "Just smell the aroma of this dish and look at the hairy crabs on the table. I must be Xiao Fang. Brother Li, just be polite to me. You will punish yourself with three drinks later."

Xu Huifen served a dish and said with a smile: "Xiao Fang is a real person. Today I will punish Ruyi to only drink wine and not eat vegetables."

Li Ruyi smiled and shook his head, took the dish from his wife, and asked Fang Zhuo to sit down.

The dinner was a sumptuous meal that didn't look or taste like home cooking.

Fang Zhuo praised him repeatedly, and when he asked about it, he found out that Xu Huifen's family had owned a restaurant since she was a child, and she was deeply influenced by it.

After three glasses and two glasses of light wine, Li Ruyi relaxed a little and talked about the house buying advice from Fang Zhuo.

"You have already bought one in Lin'an, right? You still have spare money on hand, or if your relatives have unused money, you can pool it together and buy another one in Shanghai."

"I dare not say anything else. Buy it now. Brother Li, you will have to thank me for the rest of your life in the future."

Fang Zhuo dares to vouch for this.

Li Ruyi took a sip of wine and pondered the determination behind these words.

However, Xu Huifen on the other side was a little dissatisfied. She knew that this young man was doing a good job and the registration website was very big, but it seemed that buying a house couldn't be done in a few words, especially if you had to borrow money from relatives to buy it. .

Just as she was about to say a few words, the scene on the TV next to her flashed to an unfamiliar figure along with the reporter's introduction.

"Hey, hey, is that Xiao Fang on TV? Right?!"

Xu Huifen was shocked, pointed at the color TV and asked the two people drinking.

On the TV was a series of programs recently produced by CCTV Financial Channel, which introduced companies and figures in this year's economic development. The first one was Fang Zhuo, the president of Guahao.com, who had just finished the subsidy war and announced that he had obtained the second round of financing.

There is no doubt that Guahao.com is an Internet company, but it is specifically integrated with the traditional medical field. In addition, it has the honor of being one of the “first batch of national-level Internet innovation industry companies”, and the "Win in China" that Fang Zhuo participated in was just launched in September. End broadcast.

Therefore, CCTV Finance took advantage of the situation and put him first in the introduction.

"The online registration field launched a vigorous price subsidy war in the summer. The smoke has not cleared yet, but we can already say that the registration network headed by Fang Zhuo is the biggest winner in this price war."

"Many viewers should still remember this young chairman. He successfully won the title of "Win in China" with a music player project this year. But as a young entrepreneur with lofty ideals, he actually registered online There are already greater achievements in this field in the country.”

"When our reporter interviewed him, he once asked why he chose such an atypical Internet field. He smiled and did not give a positive answer."

"But he once gave a speech on stage at the Internet Development Forum meeting held in Lin'an last year."

The scene on the TV switched to the filming material. It was the Lin'an Internet Conference in November 2000. The person speaking on the stage was Fang Zhuo, wearing a white T-shirt, youthful, passionate and full of air.

——"The Internet will change this era and profoundly change people's lives."

——“A company has value when it solves a problem.”

——"Everyone is thinking about building a portal and e-commerce, so are the problems we see that can be changed and promote development just there?"

——"Facing the advent of the Internet, I feel that I may only be able to achieve 60 points. Although I have just passed, it is already a huge improvement from 0 points. In the future, with the development and your joint efforts, I believe that Able to achieve 100 points.”

The filmed material is not from beginning to end, just clips of speeches that answer the questions above.

Next, the program continues to introduce the development of the registration network and the changes it has brought to hospital prediagnosis.

Fang Zhuo took a casual look and roughly knew that this was the material provided by the reporter who interviewed him in the office last time. However, he remembered that a newspaper had already reported the relevant content, but he did not expect to quote it again on TV.

Xu Huifen next to her was a little dumbfounded. She knew that this young man was very powerful, but she knew... What was the concept of a person reported by CCTV sitting in his own home drinking wine with his husband?

She was quite restless and asked unconsciously: "Mr. Fang, where is the best place to buy a house in Shanghai?"

"Hey, sister-in-law, why are you pregnant again? Are you seeing me eating a lot of hairy crabs and don't want me to come to visit you next time?" Fang Zhuo just thought about it for a moment and knew the reason for the change of name, and laughed, "Jing'an, Xuhui, Pudong All is OK.”

Li Ruyi glanced at his wife and smiled at Fang Zhuo.

The topic of buying a house ended here, and the two turned to talk about some changes in Lin'an.

Fang Zhuo is still more concerned about his second hometown. In addition to the vicinity of Yangcheng, he is considering building a warehousing and distribution center near the Yangtze River Delta. In particular, the express delivery industry here has relatively developed, and everyone is very receptive to new things. quick.

This dinner was very enjoyable, and it seemed to be a bit of a year-end friendship.

Fang Zhuo said goodbye to Li Ruyi and Xu Huifen's enthusiastic messages of condolences, and made an appointment to come back to try other dishes when he has time.

After Fang Zhuo left, Xu Huifen complained to her husband: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? She is the one who made the news!"

"I told you, he is very good." Li Ruyi shook his head, "I see he is very happy with his meal. Why are you so anxious? Yes, you didn't agree to buy another apartment before."

"That's different. What's my perspective, what's your perspective, and what's the perspective of people on TV?" Xu Huifen said while clearing the dishes, "People give you kind-hearted advice, but if you don't listen, you'll become a stubborn donkey." !”

Li Ruyi muttered: "Stubborn donkey."

"Go wash the dishes." Xu Huifen glared, "I'll ask my sister if she has any spare money."

"Also, the next time I come over, call my daughter up to meet her uncle and help give me advice on what to study in college in the future."

Li Ruyi reluctantly agreed, and he didn't even know when the next time would be.

…

On October 6, Fang Zhuo returned to Shanghai.

Before others arrived in the office, a reporter's interview request was received on their mobile phones.

This time it’s not CCTV Finance, but it’s a reporter from the Economic Information Daily.

"Economic Information Daily" was founded in 1981 and is the earliest national economic newspaper in China. It is affiliated to Xinhua News Agency and has a relatively high-end positioning.

Fang Zhuo made an appointment with the reporter to meet at the company in the afternoon. He did not go to Plaza 66 in the morning. He went to Jiaotong University and chatted with product manager Xu Keden for a while, and then considered how to deal with the next situation.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Fang Zhuo showed up at the company. He was first surrounded by surprised employees and showed concern, and then reporters came to his door as promised.

"What do you think of the development of the Internet economy?"

“What are your expectations for online medical care?”

“What do you think of industry regulation under rapid development?”

As soon as the interview was started, reporter Qian Fengyuan was stunned and asked three big questions to let Fang Zhuo know what high-end positioning is - "Dedicated to government officials, business entities, researchers, white-collar workers and others who are concerned about the national economy, people's livelihood, and their own economic interests." It provides authoritative, practical, high-level and high-value decision-making reference to high-end readers.”

"The development speed of the Internet economy will exceed everyone's expectations."

"Online medical care is not a current proposition, but its prospects are very good."

"Industry supervision must keep up with industry development, and companies themselves must be self-disciplined, but development is the most important issue for companies. Supervision is more of an administrative responsibility, and companies cannot be forced to be perfect."

Fang Zhuo showed no timidity when facing the question, and answered firmly and simply.

Reporter Qian Fengyuan felt that this was the courage of young entrepreneurs to express their opinions. He thought about reducing the dimension of the topic and asked: "When does Guahao.com plan to go public?"

"When the time is right." Fang Zhuo replied with a smile.

"What other directions do you think are similar to Guahao.com that combine the Internet with specific scenarios?"

Fang Zhuo thought for a while: "I talked about professional education with a contestant when I participated in a TV show before. This is also very good. It can help everyone reduce the cost of learning. It is a good project direction."

"Will you get involved in other fields?" The reporter began to ask and answer questions quickly.

"I'm getting involved. The music player is, hey, I have it in my pocket." Fang Zhuo never let go of any opportunity to expose the M1, and reached out to take out the white machine from his pocket.

"I heard that you called this little machine the best in the northern hemisphere?" The reporter took the M1 and rubbed it a few times.

"If nothing else happens, it will be on the market before the end of this month. This question should be left to consumers to judge the quality of M1 and Sony machines." Fang Zhuo also never missed the opportunity to compare M1 and Sony.

Qian Fengyuan nodded and promised: "When it comes out, I will definitely try it."

"Thank you." Fang Zhuo said with a smile, "It will also provide the service of engraving lyrics in the future. Reporter Qian can think of his favorite lyrics in advance."

Qian Fengyuan was stunned and thought this was quite novel.

He returned to the topic: "Some people say that Guahao.com is the most dynamic company on the Internet this year. What do you think?"

"If other companies are willing to spend money, they will also have vitality..." Fang Zhuo said with a wry smile, "I think everyone is just watching the excitement. Who wants to have this kind of vitality..."

Qian Fengyuan smiled, hey, he's quite down-to-earth.

He asked: "Competitors of Guohao.com have already started charging business. When will you start to follow up?"

Fang Zhuo's expression remained unchanged, and he said thoughtfully: "The company has an established development strategy, and we will not follow the pace of our opponents. Currently, Guahao.com's market share is the first in the industry, and it is the leader in the online registration business. Benchmark.”

Qian Fengyuan was diverted by these words and asked: "Aren't you afraid that medical online and Internet medical care will overtake them around the corner? As far as I know, registration network is quite expensive?"

"Don't be afraid. The expansion of the market size requires money. When it enters a stable period, the cost will be reduced a lot." Fang Zhuo replied.

Qian Fengyuan flipped through the information and said with a smile: "We conducted a simple survey and found out that Pengcheng and some cities in Guangdong Province have started to charge for Internet medical services. The same is true for Internet medical services in tertiary hospitals in Beijing and some cities in Hebei Province."

"Are you really not worried at all?"

Fang Zhuo felt that it was not easy to talk about this kind of topic. As for Team Leader Zheng, he had to announce the news in just a few days...

He thought about it again and said tactfully: "Generally speaking, it is the boss in the industry who looks at the way forward, and other companies should worry."

"Mr. Fang is really confident." Qian Fengyuan praised.

Fang Zhuo asked an additional question: "Reporter Qian, when will your interview be published?"

"We are also trying to contact the Internet. The website will release a detailed interview version for interested readers. This is faster." Qian Fengyuan explained, "The newspaper will publish a comprehensive version, probably next week."

Fang Zhuo thought for a while, it was best not to release the news so quickly, otherwise, this reporter might have to interview him again.
