Reinventing the Millennium

From being hateful to being affable, from procrastinating to being honest and efficient, it sometimes only takes a day to change your face.

The deputy general manager of China Unicom and the CEO of Sina have made gratifying progress in the progress of their cooperation.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Yan led his team back to the company.

He called Fang Zhuo's cell phone, but it was still turned off, so the meeting probably wasn't over yet.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Wang Yan called Fang Zhuo.

"Mr. Fang, China Unicom has changed its attitude." Wang Yan wanted to use this word to describe today's process.

"That's good. Xu Si should still be able to make a call at night." Fang Zhuo's voice was a little hoarse.

Wang Yan asked with concern: "Did the meeting go well today?"

"It went very well. The leader was very kind. I probably spoke a bit too much." Fang Zhuo was still in the car at this time. He lowered the window and took a breath, "I didn't leave any food tonight. I have to open a registration site after dinner later. Yes, can China Unicom sign a contract?"

"We haven't reached this stage yet. Let's talk about it the day after tomorrow." Wang Yan said, "But Li Shibin's attitude has obviously changed."

Fang Zhuo looked outside the car at the most famous square in the country that he just passed by, nodded and said: "In the final analysis, Li Shibin and I don't seem to have any deep feelings about each other. It doesn't matter if we have a few more meetings with each other. We are prudent in business."

"It's probably not necessary for him to be stuck on the Sina hotline. It's better to dissolve enemies than to end them."

Wang Yan agrees with this point. Bureaucrats in enterprises are female, while those in higher-level departments are male. Female officials become ineffective when they see male employees.

"Speaking of which, China Unicom is probably because of me. Do I have such a disliked reputation?" Fang Zhuo laughed at himself, "Fortunately, we are back on track. We have to work harder to finalize this cooperation."

Wang Yan quickly said: "Good things come in hard times."

"hope so."

Fang Zhuo asked a few more questions about the details of the negotiation with China Unicom before hanging up the phone.

He looked at the street scene outside the car, and the emotion in his heart today was actually quite deep.

In terms of policy, local responses to informatization construction have gradually stopped at the end of last year, and today's meeting emphasized the existing problems.

Of course, what is more important is to review the results, and talk about the informatization of the national economy that was launched in 1993. At that time, it was the "Golden Pass", "Golden Bridge" and "Golden Card", and later it continued with the "Golden Tax", "Golden Wisdom" and "Golden Communication". "Waiting for construction.

There are a total of twelve projects, which are called the "Twelve Gold" projects.

As a result of informatization development in the medical field, the registration network is classified as medical security in the "Golden Insurance" project and is a useful supplement to public services.

Fang Zhuo heard the formal official statement, and this time he also saw Zheng Danrui, whom he had not seen for a long time.

The two of them did not say hello, only making eye contact.

It was at the moment when he saw Team Leader Zheng that Fang Zhuocai suddenly understood that in the near future, he would have to make merits and punishments for the information construction in the past few years.

If nothing else happens, Zheng Danrui will definitely have merit. I don’t know what kind of improvement there will be.

Fang Zhuo was thoughtful in the car, but had no intention of contacting Zheng Danrui. At this time, it seemed that he should avoid suspicion. Anyway, as long as the registration network continues to operate, the result will be there.

There will be plenty of time to communicate in the future.

That evening, most of the senior executives of the registration network flew to the capital from Shanghai or Lin'an, and there were still some administrative inquiries in the next few days.

Although Guahao.com does not make money, it has another level of attention that Yike cannot match.

Now, except for Zhou Xin, who is still a senior executive of Guahao.com, almost all the original people have been updated. Version 2.0 of Guahao.com’s senior management includes more talents from prestigious schools or other companies.

Fang Zhuo's meeting lasted for a long time in the evening. In addition to the recent administrative cooperation, there was also a trial run of distribution in Mayong and Kunshan warehouses in two months.

Mayong is the company's land, and Kunshan is the rented warehouse. The latter is progressing faster than the former.

"Brother Fang, I'm afraid this attempt will be difficult." Zhou Xin had no objection at the meeting, but privately had some objections, "We might as well do more hospital system development. Lin'an Hospital's system can bring us more customers. , there will be greater demand in this area in the future.”

"Try it, give it a try." Fang Zhuo didn't explain too much, just said, "The registration network can be partially transformed into a builder of medical systems, but online medicine is a long-term matter."

He continued: "While we are being affirmed, let's look back and see if we can get an online medicine license or something like that, and then we can monopolize it for a few years."

Zhou Xin was stunned: "Is this okay?"

"Try, just try." Fang Zhuo still said.

Zhou Xin felt a little bit that the boss was not sincere. The situation in Mayong and Kunshan was not like a simple try.

Fang Zhuo changed the subject: "How is the girl I introduced to you last time?"

When I was on a plane, I met a business boss in Beijing who recognized me. He had a daughter and they left their numbers. Fang Zhuo said at that time that he could introduce top students from the University of Science and Technology to him.

"I'm here." Zhou Xin said calmly.

Fang Zhuo was confused: "?"

"I've been busy recently. I think the development of software systems has the potential to bring more profits to the company." Zhou Xin said with a smile, "She's okay, but she doesn't have any career pursuits."

Fang Zhuo thought about how Zhou Xin's last girlfriend seemed to have no career pursuits, but he didn't say much. Emotional matters depended on the individual.

Guahao.com is carrying out administrative coordination work in a low-key manner. With the development of the Internet, it is hosting more users. However, it has been sentenced to death in public opinion and has no sense of existence in the eyes of the media.

In comparison, Sina is different.

Before the agreed third day, the deputy general manager of China Unicom only called the person in charge of the Sina hotline the next day.

As it happened, Fang Zhuo's cell phone kept talking, so Li Shibin contacted Wang Yan urgently, saying that China Unicom was working overtime to review the plan submitted by the Sina hotline and believed that the prospects for cooperation between the two parties were very good.

His face changed in one day, and he signed the contract in two days. On the third day, he made a fool of himself and held a media conference for cooperation between the two parties.

Fang Zhuo showed up when the contract was signed and communicated with Li Shibin without any grudge on his face. On the third day, he did not attend the press conference, and Wang Yan faced the media on his behalf.

At this point, Sina Hotline has completed the coverage of the two operators in the market, and its focus has completely become services to users.

China Unicom's market share is not that of China Mobile, and it probably can only bring less than 40% of China Mobile's business volume.

Even so, this is also a great stimulus to Sina Hotline.

The company's six-week KPI assessment has been completed for four weeks. The effect of the incremental market is that hard work can exceed the assessment indicators and win more bonuses.

Regarding Zhou Xingshang’s impact on Sina Hotline, the entire team was excited.

However, this excitement gradually became more and more worrying as the end of August approached. Will the extraordinary general meeting bring changes to the business?

Will a kind-hearted CEO like Mr. Fang be harmed by an old fox like Duan Yongji?

On August 25, an employee reported to the vice president's office and heard President Fang booking a flight on the phone.

In the blink of an eye, the news spread, and the news that Mr. Fang would leave Sina and go to the United States to manage Yike's business spread throughout Sina's hotlines.

As an employee who had been promoted and valued for more than a month and was highly praised by Fang Zhuo, Duan Cheng was encouraged to take advantage of the work opportunity to come to the office to meet Mr. Fang.

This is quite a petition.

Duan Cheng entered the office and honestly reported on his work for half an hour.

People outside felt a bit confused. This kind of confirmed news should not be talked about for so long. Mr. Fang was probably telling his last resort!

"Duan Cheng, is there anything else?"

Fang Zhuo was replying at work and was a little confused when he saw that Duan Cheng hadn't left yet.

"Uh, Mr. Fang, I, I want to ask..." Duan Cheng stuttered nervously again, just like the first time he met Mr. Fang.

Fang Zhuo took a sip of tea, but did not forget this person's problem, and patiently waited for the question.

"I want to ask, are you sure about the shareholders at the end of the month?" Duan Cheng asked.

Fang Zhuo laughed and sighed deliberately: "I'm just afraid that I'll cause problems if I make Lao Duan angry again."

Duan Cheng felt relieved: "Fang, Mr. Fang, I have no problem. You can go ahead and do your work."

"..." Fang Zhuo felt that this must be because Duan was too far away from these employees, and Duan Cheng didn't even answer the conversation.

When Duan Cheng went out, there were faint cheers outside.

Internet companies like Sina are mostly young people, and many of their expressions are direct and crude.

I have been working in a well-known company for a long time, but this company has not been able to make a profit for a long time, and has lost 90% of its market value since its listing. At first glance, there is a new business with profit prospects. This kind of work has a sense of accomplishment and emotion. The recognition came so fast and furious.

In addition, the young president doesn't put on airs and is not as domineering as the media describes him to be when getting along with him. The combination of quasi-Forbes rich man and personal charm makes Fang Zhuo the dream lover of many Sina female employees.

Fang Zhuo came to the office one day and saw a bouquet of roses on the table. A small card with a phone number written on it was very bold.

Buzz buzz.

The phone vibrated on the table.

Fang Zhuo collected his thoughts and thought it was quite a coincidence. He had just decided to go to the United States next month to handle Yike's music business, when he received a call from a client.

"Hey, how are you doing, Mr. Li?"

The caller was Li Xinyue from the Anliang Chamber of Commerce. She once had a simple trip to Shanghai.

"Mr. Fang has been very aggressive recently. I heard that he is planning to acquire Sina with his MIGA fund?" Li Xinyue's tone was a bit unpleasant.

Fang Zhuo joked: "If Mr. Li says this, then I will stay in the country and not go out."

Li Xinyue was suffocated, and his questioning mood faded a little.

She asked: "It has been more than half a year. Has MIGA's performance taken effect?"

"No." Fang Zhuo admitted very bachelorly, and said righteously, "That's why I'm anxious. Sina, which has a lot of money, doesn't even have a splash. If they can't do it, then I'll do it myself!"

Li Xinyue: "..."

"Mr. Li's news is a little slow. I don't know if it is complete. It's not just the MIGA fund that bought Sina's stocks. Our domestic Yike Investment bought more!" Fang Zhuo said solemnly, "This is not just a little bit. I have to take care of the money."

Li Xinyue suddenly became dubious.

Fang Zhuo said again: "Well, Mr. Li, Sina can't leave now, and the investment matter is also more complicated. Next month, I will fly to the United States to talk to you in person, how about it?"

Li Xinyue felt the sincerity from the other side of the ocean!

She suppressed more doubts in her heart.

Generally speaking, private equity is only for investment speculation in company equity. This MIGA suddenly engaged in a hostile takeover. Even though Anliangtang is relatively old, it does not feel safe.

But since Fang Zhuo is so sincere and the reason is reluctant, let's have an interview.

call ended.

Fang Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief. MIGA Fund is a shareholder of Sina. Anliang Chamber of Commerce has no legal rights against Sina, but it would be really troublesome if it tried to withdraw funds due to breach of contract.

Fortunately, I am sincere.

At present, almost all the money prepared to control Sina has been spent, with more than two million US dollars spent more than expected.

MIGA funds, loans from Yike Investment, domestic and foreign equity pledges, and a little bit of Yike's payment for goods.

This is close to Fang Zhuo's limit, and he can only use funds from Yike Technology.

Although the previously announced US$200 million enterprise sounded good, as the acquisition negotiations with Apple broke down, it was just a value argument that existed in the past, and it still had to invest in and negotiate for music copyright licensing.

Fang Zhuo rubbed his face and couldn't help but call Yu Hong in New York and talk to her about the bitterness.

"Mr. Fang, you don't want to use the money raised by Yike, do you? The copyright discussion here has reached a critical point." Yu Hong gave a vigilant first reaction.

"I, I just relieve stress." Fang Zhuo was helpless.

"Oh, is there any place for money down there?" Yu Hong asked with concern this time.

"Originally, we had it, but we really didn't have the money, so I got it round." Fang Zhuo said with a wry smile, "The last time Sunshine Culture challenged the board of directors, I agreed to a price that was twice as high, but where can I find the money at this time? give them!"

"Twice the price." Yu Hong silently estimated the gap, which was at least several million dollars.

She asked: "How are you round?"

"The director of Sunshine Culture here is Wu Zheng. He came to me after the board meeting and planned to quit." Fang Zhuo described the previous scene, "I told him that it was okay to quit, but I didn't want to cheat him."

"I said that once Sina's wireless value-added business is launched, the stock price will definitely rise. If I buy the shares of Sunshine Culture at this time, I will cheat him! I, Fang Zhuo, will not cheat our own people!"

"We have to exit anyway. We can wait for a few months. If the third quarter financial results are released and the stock price does not rise, I will still buy the shares."

Yu Hong thought for a while: "There's nothing wrong with it. I don't know if you are telling the truth or not. This is very sincere."

Fang Zhuo slapped his thigh: "No, I walk around the world by being sincere to others, and everyone wins."

"Where's that part of Yongji?" Yu Hong said with a smile.

"He can't come back to Sina, but he still holds shares. I have done a good job in Sina, and the value of his shares has also increased. Isn't this a win-win situation?" Fang Zhuo explained.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Fang is the most win-win, and Mr. Fang is the toughest talker." Yu Hong laughed.

After she finished laughing, she said with relief: "Last time, you didn't say you would reward yourself with a luxury car if you won Sina. Be patient, there will be bread, and there will also be luxury cars."

"I just want bread now." Fang Zhuo sighed, "I'm just waiting for Sina to put the bread completely in my hands."

One more chapter.
