Reinventing the Millennium

Fang Zhuo from the Registration Network is ruthless and not easy to deal with.

This news quietly spread in the investment circle as Sequoia Liao Yong regained his freedom.

On the one hand, there is news about the contents of the 16th press conference, in which Fang Zhuo categorically stated that he has no administrative background, and on the other hand, there is the frightened personal experience of Sequoia Vice President. Which one do you believe?

Anyway, as Fang Zhuo emphasized in full view of the public, "The cooperation between Guahao.com and venture capital is achieved within the legal framework." This year's most dramatic venture capital financing incident has come to an end, and Guahao.com also announced that its executive vice president After Zhou Xin hosted the company meeting for the first time, he began to develop in the direction of deepening data.

Of course, this does not mean that Fang Zhuo will let go of Guohao.com. On the contrary, he formally established a payment department within the company that he is directly responsible for - Yipay.

This department transferred two top students from HKUST and half of its staff from Zhou Xin’s technology department. At the same time, it continued to vigorously recruit people from HKUST and Jiaotong University, aiming to develop Internet payment methods for online transactions on a small scale.

Fang Zhuo gathered several shareholders for a small meeting to confirm the priority and confidentiality of the payment department. This action will currently be done without publicity to the media or other shareholders.

The "Yi" of Yipay is taken from the "Yike" of its neighbor next door. If M1 sells well after its launch, Yike will try to acquire the shares of Guahao.com and then conduct business exchanges and replacements.

Marketing Director Yu Hong has been very busy these days, and she is especially puzzled that Fang Zhuo called everyone together for this matter: "Is this payment so important?"

"Very, very, very important." Fang Zhuo's attitude was very firm. "The reason why we put it on the registration network first is because we currently only have such an application scenario. When the online drug distribution and sales in Yangcheng start, it can be counted as half."

"Accumulate experience first and try more administrative lines. The goal of online payment is expected to be ten or even twenty years."

“I even think that all of our future businesses can build application scenarios around payment.”

Online payment is a demand generated by application scenarios, but looking back, determining this core and then diverging and carving out other businesses gave Fang Zhuo a clear strategic vision.

Yu Hong, Su Wei, and Zhou Xin all found it difficult to understand this. The three of them also had their own focus of work. Considering the pioneering nature of the registration network and Fang Zhuo's pace, there seemed to be nothing to hesitate.

In this way, Yipay was born without any trouble under the cover of Guohao.com.

The first order Fang Zhuo gave to this department was the development of online payment software and its security.

This takes time, and it has plenty of time.

On October 18th, two days before the official launch of Yike M1, Fang Zhuo clearly found out that the launch date of a competitor on the other side of the ocean was on the 23rd. In other words, the quality of M1 will be tested. .

Although Fang Zhuo spared no effort to purchase parts from all over the world, and even though he added a lot of his own tried-and-tested aesthetics, he really couldn't remember what the specific parameters of the epoch-making iPod were. He could only make sure that the M1 was within his capabilities. The best.

How this "best" compares to the iPod made him quite uneasy.

That night, when Fang Zhuo was caressing the M1 and considering the layout of mid-range products, he unexpectedly received a call from Zheng Danrui on his mobile phone.

Generally speaking, you would call him alone. This kind of call from the other party can easily make people's hearts sink.

What happened again?

"Fang Zhuo, a leader will come to inspect your company in two days. Please make arrangements." What Zheng Danrui said was a good thing.

"Ah? Where's the leader?" Fang Zhuo said solemnly, "You're not asking about the dispute between the registration website and the venture capital, are you?"

Zheng Danrui was amused: "What's that? It's just leadership. On the one hand, it's to look at the specific situation of informatization construction, and on the other hand, it's also to investigate the usage scenarios of the second-generation resident ID card."

"Second-generation resident ID card? So fast? Well, I mean..." Fang Zhuo added, "I changed my ID card a while ago to the first-generation ID card."

"Big cities should pilot it first. Documents were issued in June this year. I thought that this was not the case for the registration network, so I talked about it. The leader thought it was of practical significance. Are there any problems?" Zheng Danrui was a little surprised.

Fang Zhuo immediately said: "No problem, the registration network especially welcomes the simplification of terminal use. This is simply a good thing that we can only hope for!"

"That's good." Zheng Danrui thought for a while and urged, "Don't offer any unreasonable entertainment. Tell the truth. Although you are among the first batch of national-level Internet innovation industry enterprises, you have not been around for a long time, and your focus is on innovation rather than industry. .”

Fang Zhuo agreed, he was not the kind of crooked person.

However, Zheng Danrui didn't even introduce the leader of the inspection...it seemed like he had a lot of background.

After Zheng Danrui said this, he did not hang up the phone immediately and asked: "I heard that you are going to sell Walkmans. Is that good?"

Fang Zhuo was a little flattered, oh, he still cares about himself.

He replied: "Okay, I'm very optimistic about it."

Zheng Danrui hesitated and asked, "Do you need any help?"

Fang Zhuo said without hesitation: "This is not like a registration website. It depends on the market response. It is just a simple gadget."

Zheng Danrui laughed and said with a sigh: "Fang Zhuo, you are such a person..."

Fang Zhuo listened to the unfinished meaning in his words: "Team Leader Zheng, please give instructions."

"You don't even want to call me Brother Zheng, which makes me look like a jackal or a leopard." Zheng Danrui has always had a strange thing. Fang Zhuo, who is engaged in business, is not a technical CEO. By the way, let alone thank you, I am not sensitive, and I am not trying to cling to you.

Fang Zhuo was stunned for a moment, feeling the human touch, but he didn't really shout out for a while.

Zheng Danrui's slight emotion came to an end, and he finally said: "Don't mess up the leader's inspection."

The phone hangs up.

Fang Zhuo looked at his phone and reflected deeply. He should call him Brother Zheng. He might be able to get two more pieces of land.

But Brother Zheng has to hold a strong bargaining chip in his hand before he can shout, otherwise, it will be too easy to have priorities.

Team leader Zheng has helped Guahao.com a lot, but he has also endured the pressure of losing profitability in the core business to maintain operations as a reward for him. The two parties have a conditional cooperation.

Fang Zhuo put down his mobile phone and realized that the leader's inspection on the 20th happened to be the opening time of Yike's five stores, so he could only give priority to the registration network.

Thinking of this, he suddenly dialed Su Wei's phone number again.

"Teacher Xiao Su, tomorrow you go to the company and immediately remove the 'Easy Payment' department logo on the registration website. There will be a leadership inspection the day after tomorrow, so don't see this."

"Then let the people in the department go out for team building the day after tomorrow, so that they can enhance their relationship."

Su Wei was a little helpless: "Is it that exaggerated? Why do you do things so secretly?"

"Build walls high, accumulate grain widely, and become king slowly." Fang Zhuo replied solemnly. Don't touch the leader's thoughts that you are not sure about, to avoid trouble.
