Reinventing the Millennium

March 3rd is the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. There are still two days before the official opening hours of Yike and Guohao.com this year, but the 23rd floor of Hang Lung has regained its popularity. From time to time, you can still see colleagues paying New Year greetings and giving gifts to each other’s hometown. Souvenirs.

As the president, Fang Zhuo was no exception. However, he was purely collecting gifts and soon filled up half of the president's office.

The local specialties are all relatively down-to-earth, including chicken, duck, fish, goose, white radish, mushrooms, barley bamboo shoots, honey and stinky tofu. Of course, the staff also generously groomed handmade mink.

Fang Zhuo regarded all this as the love of his employees for him. He exchanged the places of origin for edible ones and gave them to everyone. He chose the ones that could be played with for everyone to see during the break. As for the mink, he decided to hang it in the closet forever. It’s not that I dislike it, it’s just that the weather here in Shanghai is not very suitable.

Oh yes, there are also some that are just perfect for small gifts for the three lawyers returning to New York.

Martin and the others were very happy about this, and each carried two bags.

The barrister also made a request when he was leaving: "Fang, can you give me your calligraphy?"

Fang Zhuo was a little confused at first, but after understanding it, he had to reject Martin's love for "the scenery is long-term and it is better to keep an eye on the future". Then, he wrote a couplet that did not rhyme on the spot in the president's office of Guahao.com and gave it to him. .

First couplet - make a decision and then act.

The second line - the pattern is broken.

Hengpi - the acquisition went smoothly.

Martin is very happy and feels that this is a very thoughtful, combination of Chinese and Western, making the acquisition a win-win situation.

Before getting into the car, he gave his blessing in a very personal tone: "Fang, we will further improve the details of the operation in New York. I personally like the feeling of hostile takeover and will definitely help you with all my strength."

From this sentence alone, Fang Zhuo knew that he and the barrister were not the same person. He did not want a hostile takeover, but he was just helping Sina grow from a long-term perspective.

On the afternoon of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Fang Zhuo bid farewell to the lawyer. In the evening, Fang Zhuo went home, said hello to his family, and asked Zhou Xin to go to Lin'an with him.

"Brother Fang, use my car." Zhou Xin had asked once before and seriously bought a BMW.

Fang Zhuo had no objection. However, when he saw the car, he found that Zhou Xin went to the passenger seat by himself.

He said in astonishment: "Aren't you going to open it?"

Zhou Xin replied innocently: "I don't have a driver's license."

"How can you buy a car if you don't have a driver's license? Hey, you can buy a car without a driver's license, right?" Fang Zhuo couldn't remember clearly, but there was indeed a brand-new BMW in front of him to prove that he could buy it.

"Didn't you ask me to buy it?" Zhou Xin asked.

Fang Zhuo was a little confused, so he silently got into the driver's seat and started the car.

This BMW E46 is the fourth-generation three-series. It has in-car Bluetooth and multimedia audio-visual entertainment systems, and is priced at a high price.

Fang Zhuo had only been driving for ten minutes, but he still couldn't help but sigh: "Xiao Zhou, it's hard to find pure love in a car like this at your age."

"Hey, what's love?" Zhou Xin said indifferently.

Fang Zhuo smelled the sadness in the air, turned right, and drove out of the city.

Zhou Xin was silent for a while and then thought of business: "Brother Fang, you didn't say why you rushed to Lin'an."

"In the afternoon, the chief of the Administrative Section of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University called me. He was the chief Li Ruyi. Do you remember?" Fang Zhuo said while driving, "He said that the hospital was going to build a new area. I want to ask if we can build a hospital information system for the registration network."

Zhou Xin was startled: "I can do it, Section Chief Li Ruyi, I remember it."

"Well, I'll show up, and you can talk about the technology. The registration network can be considered profitable." Fang Zhuo said with a smile, "Besides, this business can be done more. Many hospitals must have this demand. .”

Zhou Xin's spirits were lifted.

"You, you are the vice president after all. Don't limit your sights to the path I have set, explore more directions, and don't indulge in love. As a man starts his career, he will always meet your significant other in the future." Fang Zhuo Take the opportunity to educate.

Zhou Xin responded.

Fang Zhuo warned: "In addition, you are the vice president of Guahao.com. Although Guahao.com has a bad relationship with venture capital, it has social significance and is well received by patients' families. I don't care if you break up." Still divorced, if negative news comes out, you will directly take the blame and resign."

Zhou Xin was shocked when he heard the seriousness in Brother Fang's mouth, but still said a little depressed: "What kind of negative news can I get out..."

"Anyway, I have something to say first." Fang Zhuo stated his attitude first, "Don't make any mistakes."

Zhou Xin took a deep breath and promised: "No, Brother Fang."

Fang Zhuo nodded and smiled: "Hey, this BMW is really great to drive, and it feels completely different from Xiao Yu's Audi."

After he said this, he suddenly felt confused: "Wait a minute, Xiao Zhou, didn't you discuss it with Xiao Yu? One bought a car and either went to the south or New York, and the other didn't even have a driver's license. If you want to Just tell me to drive the car for me!"

"..." Zhou Xin said wholeheartedly, "Brother Fang can drive whenever he wants. I have a spare key for you. Anyway, I don't have a driver's license."

Fang Zhuo sighed: "Back then, people who would rather get a few hundred yuan more than get fewer shares have become rich."

"This is a good thing, it means that there is a future with Brother Fang." Zhou Xin said with a smile.

Fang Zhuo agreed: "Well, not only that, you also learned to speak by following me."

Zhou Xin thought for a while: "Last time I met Teacher Xiao Su, she taught me a word, what is good above is what is good below."

"I'm curious about the circumstances under which she, a human resources director, taught you this word." Fang Zhuo accelerating a little, speeding up to overtake, and chatting with Zhou Xin to relieve his boredom along the way.

There are no flights between Shanghai and Lin'an, and there is no high-speed rail now. A three-hour drive is quite convenient.

It just so happened that I took this trip back to Lin'an for business, and met with the old leader Judi to fulfill the courtesy in the New Year's call.

At nine o'clock in the evening, BMW arrived in Lin'an. Two senior executives from the registration network met Li Ruyi, chief of the administrative section of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University.

"Brother Li."

Fang Zhuo saw Li Ruyi waiting on the roadside of the restaurant when he was far away. He got off the car and called him brother.

"Mr. Fang, thank you for your hard work." Li Ruyi smiled and shook hands.

Fang Zhuo scolded: "Without Brother Li's help, I wouldn't be where I am today. Is Brother Li going to be friends with me? Or is he afraid that I will come to eat the specialty dishes that my sister-in-law promised to cook?"

He held Li Ruyi's hand and refused to let go, complaining like this.

Li Ruyi laughed loudly and changed his title to "Brother Fang". The distance between the two of them, who had not seen each other for a long time, became closer: "I'll go home tomorrow. I've made a reservation here tonight. I must be tired when I leave. Let’s go up and talk.”

Fang Zhuo nodded and introduced Zhou Xin, who Li Ruyi should also know.

The three of them entered the box while chatting. Unexpectedly, there were other people inside. After being introduced, they were small leaders in administrative positions in other hospitals. According to Li Ruyi, they also had hospital information needs.

Fang Zhuo and Li Ruyi had a lot of contact before, and they even strongly recommended each other to buy a house in Shanghai. Now this personal relationship has been reflected in official matters.

Anyway, the hospital would give this to any company, so it would be better to give it to Guanhao.com as a matter of course. After all, Guanhao.com has always been known as "Informatization Construction" and has real national honors.

Zhou Xin was not very good at this kind of situation. Listening to Brother Fang chatting with several people, he quickly lost consciousness.

The next day, he woke up in a daze. If he hadn't still remembered the drinking party last night, he would have almost suspected that he had been betrayed by the boss.

"Brother Fang, uh, you got up so early." Zhou Xin saw Fang Zhuo looking at his notebook at the table.

"Well, I'm used to waking up early." Fang Zhuo was reading the Sina website and said casually, "The hotel will bring breakfast to you later. There is porridge, please drink more."

Zhou Xin got up, washed his face, and asked, "Brother Fang, did you drink too much yesterday? How was the conversation?"

"I didn't drink too much, and they didn't dare to drink me. It went very smoothly. There was no problem in both hospitals. Just follow the procedures. The other hospital has to see if the director's care is strict. Lin'an, the Internet Relatively speaking, the company cannot compare with other big cities, and its competitiveness is not great. It just has a threshold." Fang Zhuo said while browsing.

Zhou Xin was a little depressed, so he just convinced himself when he co-wrote it.

He shook his head: "They didn't seem to ask me any technical questions yesterday."

Fang Zhuo replied without hesitation: "Because they don't understand either. Our registration network is a genuine informatization construction practitioner, and you are a genuine top student of the University of Science and Technology. When people are here, this means nothing, but things have to be done." Beautiful, understand?”

Zhou Xin naturally understood: "It just so happens that iMusic is almost developed, so the company can free up technical manpower."

"You stay in Lin'an for the next few days. I'll notify someone from the company. Let's evaluate the project cycle together. Don't laugh and joke just because Li Ruyi and I know each other." Fang Zhuo reminded him again, "Guanhao.com It is a good direction to add value in this area. The medical field itself is relatively closed, and we are our own people who have stepped in with half a foot through luck. "

"Okay, don't worry, Brother Fang, I know the importance." Zhou Xin took out his mobile phone, dialed the number, and arranged manpower in areas he was familiar with.

In the morning, Zhou Xin handled official duties from afar, while Fang Zhuo browsed information on potential targets.

Near noon, Fang Zhuo left the hotel and drove to visit Judy.

This visit lasted longer than he expected. The old leader was very enthusiastic, and his chat was more down-to-earth than in the past. He only said a few words about New Year greetings, but he talked about the development of the Internet in a long way.

Fang Zhuo could tell that the former deputy leader had seriously thought about the development trends of the Internet and was also interested in judging different companies in the market.

As the boss of two atypical Internet companies, and as an enthusiastic person dedicated to helping listed portals, Fang Zhuo talked about this aspect with ease. Not only domestically, he also talked about the situation abroad based on his experiences in New York.

Qiu Di was quite fascinated by what he heard. If he hadn't heard that Fang Zhuo had to go back to Shanghai in the evening, he would have stayed for dinner.

At half past five in the evening, Fang Zhuo said goodbye and left.

He hurried back to the hotel, returning a call from Li Ruyi. When he went upstairs, he learned that someone from his company had arrived, but before he could enter the room, another call from the capital came in.

This was the news from Hu Meng of CCTV who had just contacted her two days ago, saying that she would record an audition footage in the next two days. Because of Fang Zhuo's instructions, she immediately informed Wang Yan from Sina that she would participate.

Fang Zhuo promised repeatedly and would definitely attend the recording the day after tomorrow.

He walked into the room and had just finished the call. Before he could talk to Zhou Xin, he immediately received another call from IDG Xiong Xiaoge.

"Old Xiong, oh, there is news from Xiangjiang, right? Can it be done tomorrow?"

"I can't do it tomorrow. Well, I can't do it the day after tomorrow. I have to go to CCTV to record a program the day after tomorrow."

"Hmm, the night after tomorrow or the day after tomorrow? Isn't this a bit too rushed? Okay, that's fine too."

Fang Zhuo exchanged a few words. The news brought by Xiong Xiaoge was quite important. According to the itinerary, it was determined that they would meet in the capital. Anyway, the other party was flying from Xiangjiang to Shanghai and to the capital.

There was no call all afternoon, but the calls came one after another.

Fang Zhuo drank a large glass of water "Gululu" and signaled Zhou Xin to report today's work arrangements.

He listened for a while and thought there was no problem: "Mr. Zhou, I'll leave Lin'an to you first. I'll go back to Shencheng in the evening. We can contact you anytime if you have anything."

In front of other people in the company, Fang Zhuo stopped calling "Xiao Zhou".

"Brother Fang, are you in such a hurry? Isn't it safe to drive at night? How about going back tomorrow morning?" Zhou Xin advised.

Fang Zhuo thought about it and was right: "Okay, you guys will work on a project plan together tonight and formally submit it to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University tomorrow, so as to avoid long nights and dreams."

"Uh...Okay." Zhou Xin took the initiative to increase the burden.

Fang Zhuo nodded, leaving space for his colleagues, and went out to the hall downstairs to arrange his own schedule.

Early the next morning, Fang Zhuo and Lin'an both said hello and returned to Shanghai. If there were no accidents, this order for the hospital system would be the first profit for the registration network, which would also be of historical significance.

After one day, Shencheng Yike has basically arrived at the post, because the development of market channels and sales targets were set years ago. The meeting held by Fang Zhuo on this day was just to make allocations and adjustments based on the plan.

It is impossible for him to fully fulfill the duties of Yu Hong's marketing director, so this power will inevitably be delegated to some extent. Tang Shangde, deputy director of the marketing department, and others are responsible for more work content.

As of March, Yike's products M1 and J1 still have no competitors in China. When it comes to MP3 music players, Yike must be mentioned, and when Jay Chou's "Blue and White Porcelain" is mentioned, Yike must be mentioned.

According to everyone's estimates, it will be difficult to see competitors' products come online in most of 2002, but there is also vague news that some manufacturers want to try their luck. Among them is the famous computer brand Lenovo.

However, I don’t know if this news is a rumor or not, it remains to be determined by time.

On March 5, the president of Shencheng Yike boarded a flight to Beijing in the morning. He had two to three days of program recording arrangements and two meetings with Xiangjiang Venture Capital.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the flight arrived, and producer Hu Meng came to pick him up.

"Sister Hu, you came to pick her up in person. It's not like I don't know the way to your unit. Why are you so polite?" Fang Zhuo smiled broadly.

"The winner of our show last year is so honored to be recording again, how can I not come." Hu Meng welcomed with a smile.

Fang Zhuo played his part in the joke: "Yeah, well, then, your champion of "Win in China" is back."

Hu Meng laughed loudly and liked Mr. Xiao Fang's style.
