Reinventing the Millennium

From November last year to March this year, in just half a year, Xue Xuan experienced a process of complacency, silence, hesitation, and doubt about life.

He knew that Yike sold its products overseas, and Fang Zhuo would be very busy when he needed to go abroad. He also expected to have enough patience. However, after experiencing the Lunar New Year, last year's resignation and job change suddenly seemed like a long time ago. Something happened.

Because Yike Technology had financing needs for equity pledges, Human Resources Director Su Wei approached Xue Xuan and asked him to help before the president returned to China. In the end, he was able to help, but this unpleasant process suddenly made him realize The influence of the former position is rapidly fading.

The anxiety and strong ambition in Xue Xuan's heart lingered for a while, and finally he immediately approached the CEO after asking about his schedule.

"Mr. Fang, our Yipay progress is very slow, really very slow."

Fang Zhuo finished pouring the tea, returned to his desk, nodded and said, "Yes, I know."

"Mr. Fang, currently we have only tried a pilot project in one hospital and only cooperated with one branch. It is too slow." Xue Xuan said in a deep voice, "Mr. Fang, do you have concerns about my ability?"

Fang Zhuo said in surprise: "Mr. The highest paid person.”

"Because of this, I have trouble sleeping and eating." Xue Xuan shouted loudly, "Mr. Fang."

This heavy cry still couldn't express the cry in his heart, but he couldn't really shout it in the president's office, as that would be unworthy of the former vice president's demeanor.

"That's it, Mr. Xue, first of all, I am very confident in you, otherwise I would not leave such a project in your hands." Fang Zhuo reassured, "Secondly, the online payment business directly involves banks and hospitals. , patients, we can’t be careless, otherwise it will be the most fatal blow to the company.”

"Also, we must consider its legal risks. After all, there are no relevant regulations now, and such innovation must be cautious."

Fang Zhuo smiled and said: "Besides, whether it is Yipay or Yike Financing, this is a contribution to the company, and I am very grateful."

Xue Xuan didn't think so. He was silent for a while: "Mr. Fang, you're not spending a lot of money just to ask me to help with financing, are you?"

"Aren't the shares of Yike Technology high-quality? Are the future development trends not good? Even if Mr. Xue hadn't come to help, wouldn't it be able to get the mortgage money?" Fang Zhuo asked rhetorically.

Xue Xuan let out a long breath and stepped out of the corner. Indeed, his help speeded up the process rather than playing a decisive role. Of course, it also helped with the amount of funds.

He hesitated and emphasized again: "Mr. Fang, I think this progress is indeed too slow. Should we speed up the progress?"

"Payment projects should not be advanced rapidly." Fang Zhuo's voice was soft but firm. "The time is not yet ripe. What I want you to do is not to occupy a certain market, but to build a stable framework."

Xue Xuan couldn't help but take a sip of tea before asking: "When is the mature time?"

Fang Zhuo said ambiguously: "Don't worry, wait and see, the usage habits of domestic users cannot only rely on the registration network."

Xue Xuan thought for a while: "Mr. Fang, do you want to make Yipay into the American PayPal?"

"No, our goal is not to be the PayPal of the United States, but to be the Yipay of China." Fang Zhuo has no doubt on this point.

Xue Xuan's emotions inexplicably calmed down a lot. He sighed and started asking for people: "Yipay needs technical talents. Mr. Fang, please call Vice President Chen Ming from the technology department. Otherwise, the progress of our Yipay program will always be ranked second." at last."

Website maintenance, iMusic development, payment procedures, and even the hospital system that suddenly popped up in Lin'an all jumped in line to get ahead of the payment procedure.

During this period, Xue Xuan's frustration was still due to the deep feeling of the ranking of departments. The president of Yike was personally at the forefront, and the system development of the registration network belonged to the traditional field. Even though he was appointed by the president, he still held the highest position. Salary, but this cannot be reflected in daily work.

"Chen Ming? Isn't this bad? How about we recruit people from outside?" Fang Zhuo hesitated and said.

"That's okay." Xue Xuan agreed first, and then said, "But before we recruit suitable people from outside, let Mr. Chen come over to help."

Faced with this persistent request, Fang Zhuo still did not agree easily and said with a smile: "Mr. Xue, don't you need to be so urgent?"

Xue Xuan finally couldn't help but let go of his former vice president attitude. He didn't even drink tea and poured out the bitter water of actual work.

Fang Zhuo listened for a long time and felt that it was necessary to give Yipay more support, so he agreed to the matter. This was also the first time he had directly intervened in the company's operations since Zhou Xin took over the daily work of Guohao.com.

As the third technical talent from the University of Science and Technology of China to come to Guahao.com, Deputy Director Chen Ming of the Technology Department not only has considerable qualifications, but also holds stock options awarded by the company, making him a senior member of the website.

Xue Xuan feels much more comfortable to be in this position.

He came to Guohao.com to start a career!

Of course, salary is also a small reason.

Fang Zhuo had a full schedule. When he saw Xue Xuan today and felt his grievance, he naturally talked more about work and development expectations.

He had told Xue Xuan before that online payment for medical registration was a weak demand. This time he reiterated it again and said that it was an established strategy. Innovation in this field must also try not to attract the attention of bank executives.

The development of many leading projects often requires a certain number of users before forcing related parties to make changes. This was the case with the development of online payment, and the same is true with the music copyright licensing that Yike Technology's iMusic needs to do.

Fang Zhuo and Xue Xuan talked about getting off work and had dinner together. He confided in his heart during the conversation. The latter felt that the president's attitude finally relieved his anxious and dull heart after the holiday.

“Prepare more, test more, communicate more, and give more feedback.”

Fang Zhuo conveyed this meaning when he parted with Xue Xuan.

Xue Xuan fully expressed his acceptance and made an appointment to make a complete report to the president the next day, and by the way, he would also implement the matters concerning Deputy Director Chen Ming.

That night, Fang Zhuo didn't get any rest. Yike Technology's domestic market, iMusic's overseas development, the acquisition plan of Sina, the business deepening of Guahao.com and the project support of Yipay.

One item after another, Fang Zhuo was smoking a cigarette and wanted to sort it out before flying to New York. He was not the kind of person to get involved in every detail, but he did need to have more control over the big picture.

The next day, Guohao.com held a high-level meeting with Chairman Fang Zhuo to fully listen to the company's relevant work and development. At the end, it made a personnel adjustment, allowing Yipay to add a technical general.

Fang Zhuo communicated with Deputy Director Chen Ming before the meeting and expressed that this project would most likely be developed independently. Only then did he convince him to agree to the work arrangement.

Xue Xuan was very satisfied with this.

After such a busy day, on the second day, representatives of Sina's major shareholder Duan Yongji and Yike Investment came as scheduled to confirm the procedure. Yike Investment will acquire 3% of Sina's shares at a price of 10.32 million.

This also means that Sina, which originally had dispersed shareholdings, has once again added a shareholder from a domestic investment institution.

There is one more chapter to be coded.
