Reinventing the Millennium

The last day of November 2002 has passed, and the last month of this year has arrived.

On December 1st, Fang Zhuo arrived at Hang Lung 23 early, having stayed up in the middle of the night.

The first thing he did was to call Zhou Xin, the vice president of the medical group who was on marriage leave, and tell him that he only had the 1st day of vacation left and would go to work as normal on the 2nd.

Zhou Xin was stunned. On his wedding night, he worked hard to practice the spirit of work, empower each other, delay gratification, and achieve in-depth co-construction.

When I woke up, I was told to go to work!

Capitalists are not so ruthless!

"Our medical department has launched a research project on infectious diseases in Yangcheng. I think its nature may be quite urgent."

"I will take my vacation after my wedding. Yu Lanyu has objections, and my family has objections. They all blame me and say I am a ruthless boss."

Fang Zhuo expressed his firm attitude.

Zhou Xin was angry and happy at the same time: "Brother Fang, I don't think you think I will have any objections in your words?"

"Because if you have any opinions, you can tell me face to face." Fang Zhuo said coldly, "See you tomorrow."

Zhou Xin: "..."

He silently put away the phone and looked up at the ceiling.

"What's wrong? Whose phone number is there?" Newlywed wife Yu Lanyu came over and hugged Zhou Xin from behind, with her head sticking out from the side.

"Brother Fang, there is something going on at the company. I have to work tomorrow and our trip may be ruined." Zhou Xin said helplessly.

Yu Lanyu said "Ah": "You have to work tomorrow? Why is this like this! It's already been agreed! Talk to Brother Fang!"

Zhou Xin shook his head and said decisively: "No, I believe Brother Fang's judgment. He would not act like this if there was no emergency."

He turned around, took his wife's hand, and said with a smile: "I'll go to the company tomorrow to see you. If nothing happens, I'll go on vacation. If something happens, I'll take you to New York during the holidays. All food, clothing, and entertainment will be left to Brother Fang." Pay the reimbursement, and then take your sisters and best friends with you."

Yu Lanyu muttered hesitantly: "What's so fun about New York..."

Zhou Xin shook her hand and said in a curious tone: "New York has the Metropolitan Museum, Wall Street, and Broadway. I heard that Brother Fang is still involved in a club there."

Yu Lanyu was indeed distracted: "Club??"

"Yeah, I heard what Sister Yu said." Zhou Xin smiled and chatted casually, but he was already thinking about calling the company to ask about the situation.

At ten o'clock in the morning, there were still calls from the Yike President Office, urging overseas purchases, inquiring about the expert team, and telling the Sina News team arriving in Yangcheng to pay attention to safety...

At this time, Tang Shangde, the vice president of Yike Technology, came to the office according to the morning notice.

"Xiao Tang is here, sit down, sit down."

When Fang Zhuo saw the person coming, he stood up with a smile and poured a cup of brewed tea for Tang Shangde with his own hands.

"Mr. Fang, I'll do it myself." Tang Shangde poured the tea for himself enthusiastically, then turned around to add water to Fang Zhuo's cup.

Then, he asked: "What tasks do you have today?"

"It's okay to call you here." Fang Zhuo said with a smile, "It's just that we haven't talked alone for a long time. I'm busy and you are busy, so I called you to come over and talk."

Tang Shangde took a sip of tea and said, "Mr. Fang, you are much busier than me. You fly around all day."

"I don't know when you started calling me Mr. Fang." Fang Zhuo stopped smiling slightly, "If we are chatting today, I will still be your senior brother, and you will still be my junior brother."

"Okay, Brother Fang, I don't want to be more formal at work. I call you Mr. Fang in my mouth, but I will always be Brother Fang in my heart." Tang Shangde said.

Fang Zhuo nodded and emphasized again: "Well, today it's senior brother and junior brother."

He said with emotion: "Time flies so fast. I remember the first time I met you. At that time, you were working part-time in the hospital to help look after the registration computer and explain to patients how to register. The person with you was... it was Hu Meili, right? "

Tang Shangde was very happy: "Yes, Brother Fang, I was with Hu Meili at that time. Speaking of which, I haven't seen her for a while. The registration network was moved to Jinmao, which is not as convenient as before."

He also recalled: "I still remember the first time I met Brother Fang in the box. The box was not big, and there were Sister Wei, Sister Yu, and Brother Zhou. Oh yes, Song Rong took me there that day on Sister Yu's motorcycle. place."

At that time, Song Rong held the position of deputy director. Now that I think about it, it seems that a long time has passed and no one has heard any news about him.

Tang Shangde took a sip of tea as if drinking wine.

"The company has grown from small to large, and its business has grown from small to large. Two years ago, it was running from hospital to hospital. Later, it was better for a few of us to go to Lin'an." Fang Zhuo took a sip of tea and said, "Rent a three-bedroom apartment in Lin'an. Just living and developing a business, now that I think about it, it seems like yesterday.”

Tang Shangde laughed: "Brother Fang, things are different now. Our company is definitely getting stronger and stronger."

"The company is not what it used to be. We are still brothers." Fang Zhuo also laughed, and then changed the subject, "Xiao Tang, speaking of the company, before you ran channels in Beijing, some people told me that your work style was a little bit... Rough.”

Tang Shangde was startled and muttered: "Brother Fang, you know what I do. Sometimes I am more direct, but I may not pay much attention to some small details."

When it comes to company matters, the atmosphere of reminiscing about the past between cups of tea is gone.

"Well, I know that. There are no outsiders here today, so I'll just ask you directly. Is there any problem with the business in the capital?" Fang Zhuo looked directly into the eyes of this junior brother.

Tang Shangde denied it flatly: "Brother Fang, what's wrong with the business? Is it someone who snitched on you? You still don't believe me?"

Fang Zhuo was silent for a few seconds, then started to add water to his junior brother's and his own cups.

He said: "I definitely believe in you, otherwise, can I let you be the deputy director or vice president? I believe in you, do you believe in me?"

Tang Shangde said without hesitation: "If I don't believe Brother Fang, who else can I believe? Brother Fang, you..."

Fang Zhuo directly interrupted his junior brother and asked again: "I believe you, you believe me, are you sure your business in the capital will be fine? Can you guarantee this?"

This time Tang Shangde hesitated for a second and then said firmly: "Brother Fang, no problem, I'm sure of it."

Fang Zhuo sighed in disappointment and waved his hand: "Well, okay, let's go out."

Tang Shangde's expression was a little stiff.

He stood up hesitantly, thinking about what went wrong and how to make amends urgently.

When Tang Shangde walked to the door, the CEO's voice came from behind.

Fang Zhuo asked for the third time: "Mr. Tang, are everyone in the family okay?"

"You went from Guhahao.com to Yike. Your income should be pretty good?"

Tang Shangde said calmly: "My family is very good."

He subconsciously changed his title: "Thanks to Mr. Fang and the company for this."

"Well, go ahead. If you want to see me next time, just call my cell phone." Fang Zhuo said calmly.

Tang Shangde walked out of the president's office.

He knew there must be a problem in some link, but now he could only endure it.

The vice president returns to the office.

Ten minutes later, the office door was pushed open, and a uniformed Shencheng economic detective walked in.

Tang Shangde held the cell phone he was talking on in astonishment, and suddenly understood the situation today. He stood up silently and walked out.

On December 1, the atmosphere on the 23rd floor of Hang Lung was very solemn.

A total of three people, including Vice President Tang Shangde, were taken away by the police for investigation.

Mr. Fang, who has a good temper, rarely got angry in the office. Although it was about Yangcheng, it seemed that it was obviously because of Vice President Tang's situation.

Speaking of Vice President Tang, he is a direct descendant of President Fang and a veteran of the company. He is absolutely in a high position of authority.

But now it is suddenly dealt with, which is really shocking.

Moreover, in the afternoon alone, a document signed by the president came into effect, appointing a vice president to replace Tang Shangde.

It seems that Deputy Tang will never come back.

In the evening of this day, the door of the president's office was pushed open. Fang Zhuo ended his day of urging, communicating, and arranging, and went to the new district to visit the old leader.

Since Judishencheng took office, Fang Zhuo only came home to see him once, but he quickly made the decision to move the medical department to the new district.

This second meeting was still at the leader's home.

Fang Zhuo also accepted his fate. Just get close to the leader. Many people would like to get closer to him.

Dinner was simple. During the dinner, Fang Zhuo listened to District Chief Qiu talk a lot about his feelings about his work.

The two moved to the sofa, made tea, and turned on the TV. Dragon TV was showing local news, and the district mayor happened to be there.

"District Chief Qiu's style is even better than that of Lin'an." Fang Zhuo looked at the TV and praised.

"You're not just here today to bring me tea and then flatter me, right?" Judy said cheerfully.

"Isn't this okay? If I run a business, I should go to the leadership more often, especially to let the leaders know the difficulties in the operation of our private enterprises." Fang Zhuo said.

Qiu Di asked seriously: "Then what's the problem between your registration network and Yike?"

Well, Guahao.com wants an online medicine sales license. It's useless to tell you about it. There doesn't seem to be anything else...brand competition is a market behavior, not to mention that Yike's competitors are abroad.

Fang Zhuo was stunned for a few seconds and joked: "The problem is how to deliver tea to the leader."

Judy laughed: "Forget about others, isn't it true that you, President Fang, are all hiding from being an official?"

Fang Zhuo said unconvinced, "I haven't seen District Chief Qiu either."

"Yes, all in all, I saw you the most when I was at the CPPCC." Qiu Di talked about this naturally, and then said, "Last time Lao Zheng was here with me, and when we chatted, we both felt that you were still extraordinary."

Fang Zhuo waited for the phone in his pocket to vibrate and said dutifully: "There's nothing special about me. I just have the ability to do great things."

Qiu Di nodded: "Then you, Mr. Fang, are really capable and have created a huge business."

The phone in my pocket vibrated.

Fang Zhuo apologized, took out his phone, and listened to the judgment of the expert team delivered by Liu Yangyang.

The secretary-general is a good arranger. He contacted experts near Yangcheng last night. At noon today, experts from Shanghai and Lin'an arrived in Yangcheng.

This is half a day earlier than the time given by Fang Zhuo.

Therefore, the expert team that went to work in the afternoon conducted on-site inspections and visits to investigate the source of the rumors of the strange disease in Yangcheng.

In the evening, the expert team could not give a written opinion, but Liu Yangyang listened to everyone's discussion and believed that there was indeed a certain degree of contagion, but the intensity of the contagion needed further judgment.

Liu Yangyang said that these expert teams have reported and communicated with the local health department in Yangcheng. There will be a meeting to discuss tomorrow.

Fang Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief and ended the call.

"District Chief Qiu, I know a new situation here, and our new district should pay more attention to it."

President Yike talked about Sina's news and the opinions that the expert team has been able to confirm.

After Qiu Di listened carefully, he judged based on his own understanding: "Yangcheng is far away from Shanghai. The local health department will pay attention to it. Will this be controlled?"

"I hope so, but there is a large floating population in Yangcheng. I am afraid that we have discovered more than just the source. We still have to pay attention to it." Fang Zhuo said, "Tomorrow I will fly to Yangcheng to see what is going on and do some news. communication on the publication.”

He said seriously: "I hope this is just an endemic disease, but it is necessary to take certain precautions."

Judy nodded and suddenly understood that this might be the purpose of Fang Zhuo bringing tea leaves to the door.

"I will pay close attention to this matter, and will also ask the hospitals in the district to pay attention to the situation. There is a team of experts in Yangcheng, right, to see if there are any special symptoms. This can be compared with local hospitals."

Fang Zhuo also nodded and said: "Our registration network has notified the cooperating hospitals in Guangdong Province, and we will also exchange information with them next."

"You're quite good at this." Judi praised, "When we arrive in Yangcheng tomorrow, remember to comply with the work flow and don't be reckless."

"Definitely, I am not one of the seven dissatisfied and eight dissatisfied people." Fang Zhuo continued, "If the expert team has a written opinion, I will discuss it with Mayor Zheng. Is this okay?"

"Of course it's no problem." Judy said what she had said before, "Don't always have so many worries. If you are doing the right thing, there is nothing to be afraid of."

Fang Zhuo nodded and considered the next day's itinerary.

Judy asked again at this time: "Are you doing the right thing?"

"Yes." Fang Zhuo said without thinking, "Both Yike and Guohao.com are doing well."

Even if Guohao.com had some minor disputes with venture capital, it was quickly resolved.

Not to mention the investment circle, the reputation of the two companies among consumers and users is quite good.

Fang Zhuo sighed silently, "Look, why don't I like to play with you guys?" This old leader, who has a good relationship with me, suddenly asked this question, which made people feel shocked.

The topic about Yangcheng came to an end, and the two talked about the development of the Internet and finance. The old leader knew that Fang Zhuo also had a private equity fund here.

Since coming out of the CPPCC, Judy seems to be more studious, more able to keep a low profile and pay attention to what others say.

…

On December 2, Zhou Xin, Vice President of Yike, ended his vacation and rushed to work.

Yesterday, he was confused twice in a row, once because of the boss's arrangement, and once when he heard that Tang Shangde was under investigation.

Today, Zhou Xin thought about Mr. Fang Youyan's previous meeting and planned to ask about the situation. As a result, the latter missed the appointment. After calling to inquire, he found out that he had flown to Yangcheng.

From this, it seems that Mr. Fang really attaches great importance to the Yangcheng side.

Zhou Xin was sitting on the 23rd floor of Jinmao, checking the email his boss sent him in the morning, thinking about how to better handle the information notification between the registration network and the hospital.

At the same time, he received news from his brother's company that Guohao.com's warehouse in Mayong would receive medical supplies tomorrow.

In just two days, the company's business seemed to have undergone major changes.
