Reinventing the Millennium

Compared with the impact of changes in Sony Music Greater China, Fang Zhuo in Luzhou is more concerned about the changes brought about by the rapid development of the Internet industry.

Judging from the data released this year, the number of Internet users nationwide has exceeded 90 million, of which more than 40 million are broadband access users. This is already the second largest number of Internet users in the world after the United States with 150 million.

Fang Zhuo felt that the last time he and Teacher Xiao Su were talking about the number of Internet users was still in front of him. In the blink of an eye, the number jumped from 20 million to 90 million. It can only be said that the development of the times is really moving forward.

And here, the prosperity of search, social networking, and e-commerce will soon allow people to witness the miracle of China’s Internet.

However, Fang Zhuo considered the direction of Yike, Medical Science, and Sina in the times, and Zhang Sohu's gratitude was particularly enthusiastic around Sony Music.

Fang Zhuo took three calls from him within two days after returning to Luzhou.

"Mr. Fang, it's okay. I just found out today that you are actually a director of Sony Music. It's amazing, amazing." Zhang Chaoyang witnessed Mr. Fang's magical power and couldn't help but go back to the source to analyze the reason for such majesty.

"Just an outside director." Fang Zhuo was very calm.

"External directors?" Zhang Chaoyang asked with a smile, "Isn't Yike still a shareholder of Sony Music?"

"It's just a small shareholder." Fang Zhuo remained calm and asked, "If you don't work hard on your Sohu, what are you doing with all this?"

"I'm grateful to Mr. Fang, and I also admire Mr. Fang a little." Zhang Chaoyang followed Mingwei this time and was in a good mood.

Fang Zhuo suspected that the other party might be a little hungover: "You don't admire me because of Sina, you don't admire me because of Yike, but you admire me because of this thing. Lao Zhang, I really belong to you."

Zhang Chaoyang said: "Sina is good, and Sohu is not bad either. Besides, you didn't create Sina."

Before Fang Zhuo could answer, he added: "Although the current Sina's surname is Fang."

How should I put it, Zhang Chaoyang is really not very angry. From the first time he dealt with CCTV to now, Fang Zhuo felt that he had stolen two contracts from him. The other party was very angry at the time, and he was like that after that. .

He thought for a moment and said, "Okay, that's it for now. You don't need to call me to thank me for this. It's not a big deal."

Zhang Chaoyang said sincerely: "Mr. Fang is so courageous!"

Fang Zhuo: "..."

It's really not a big deal.

Although the Greater China area is very large, including China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Vietnam and other places, its actual revenue accounts for less than 10% of the entire Sony Music. The real main market is Europe and the United States.

Therefore, even though he is the CEO of the region, Stringer, the vice chairman of the group, wants to replace him with such a person out of business considerations. Sony Group has no strong objections at all.

Even Stringer's attempt at appeasement may not have been successful.

"Mr. Fang, when you come back to the capital next time, tell me that you have to have a good drink to express my gratitude." Zhang Chaoyang said.

After hearing this "thank you" several times, Fang Zhuo changed his mind and said, "Old Zhang, ah no, Mr. Zhang, I found a place for you. You always express your gratitude in vain. I sent you to do this." Want a drink? Maotai is almost ready to get the goods from my warehouse."

Zhang Chaoyang hesitantly said: "Then what are you going to do?"

"I heard that Sohu launched Sogou. The name is interesting," Fang Zhuo said.

"Yes, but there seems to be no room for cooperation with Sina." Zhang Chaoyang said thoughtfully.

"Oh, I see that Wang Xiaochuan from Sogou is really good and sent to my company. This is the sincerity of your Forbes rich man to thank others." Fang Zhuo said with a smile.

Zhang Chaoyang said seriously: "I definitely don't want to go, Mr. Fang, what are you thinking about?"

"That's it. It's not in vain. I have a clip here that can be exchanged for your dog." Fang Zhuo is a real person.

Zhang Chaoyang didn't know who in Sina Company the nickname Mr. Fang was referring to. He replied jokingly: "Okay, then I will ask Wang Xiaochuan tomorrow if he is willing to study at Sina."

At this time, the door of the CEO's office was pushed open, and Ni Runfeng, the head of Changhong, arrived.

"Okay, Mr. Zhang, don't forget to ask Xiaochuan. I have something else to do. Hang up." Fang Zhuo ended the call.

Zhang Chaoyang on the other end of the phone heard the sound of disconnection before he could answer. He could only taste the name "Xiaochuan" in his heart, wondering whether Mr. Fang and Wang Xiaochuan had communicated in private.

"Mr. Fang, I heard that the ice core equipment has arrived? What a joy." Ni Runfeng entered the office, poured a cup of tea, and saw Mr. Fang put down his mobile phone and chatted with You about Luzhou's enterprises.

A smile appeared on Fang Zhuo's face: "Old Ni, you are very well informed. It is not easy for ice core to pass this threshold."

Ni Runfeng nodded seriously: "It is indeed difficult."

Fang Zhuo took a sip of tea and changed the topic: "So, taking advantage of your inspection of Luzhou Meiling this time, I also want to talk to you about chip foundry."

Ni Runfeng put down his teacup, glanced at Mr. Fang, and said, "Mr. Fang told me about this before, so I asked people from the purchasing department to inquire. Many of our TV chips are purchased from Philips Semiconductor and American Jenny."

"Especially, this year our Changhong has changed its technical route to LCD, and the current purchasing brand is also Philips, which, that..." Ni Runfeng said this, simply took out the information from the bag, and then continued, " Its single-chip solution for LCD, TDA15500, is a chip that has been tested by Changhong and has excellent results."

He continued: "It contains an on-chip microcontroller, which can ensure the complete realization of LCD TV system functions with the least external components, and can also combine the video decoding function with the advanced progressive scan function, making the LCD TV The solution is simpler.”

Ni Runfeng put down the information and finally said: "Upstream manufacturers like Philips have a greater say and it is not easy for them to change their ways."

Fang Zhuo glanced at Lao Ni's information and knew that this man had done his homework first.

He nodded, indicating that what the head of Changhong said made sense.

Then, the young president said calmly: "If it was easy, why would I ask you to do it?"

Ni Runfeng: "..."

Mr. Fang is right!

If it was easy, why would he go to such lengths to tie himself up?

"Have you tested Philips' attitude? In addition to the 15500 solution, what about the American Jenny you just mentioned?" Fang Zhuo tapped his fingers on the table.

"As for the solution for LCD TVs, we are currently comparing various manufacturers. Taking into account various factors, Philips is indeed more suitable." Ni Runfeng said seriously, "Mr. Fang, you also know that Changhong is now fully committed to transforming and launching LCD products. There’s no room for error.”

Fang Zhuo raised his finger from tapping the table and said affirmatively: "There is no room for error. Yes, Bingxin must learn Changhong's spirit. There is no room for error."

He looked at the head of Changhong and gave an equally serious response: "There is no room for error, so I feel the need to meet Mr. Ni. Otherwise, Mr. Ni may not understand my urgency."

Ni Runfeng looked into Mr. Fang's eyes, seeing the intolerance and refusal in his eyes, and his heart sank slightly.

Obviously, Mr. Fang's tolerance for failure has a higher priority in his heart than Changhong's tolerance for failure.

"Old Ni, you may have misunderstood me a little." Fang Zhuo slowly spoke out to break the head of Changhong's thoughts, "I value Changhong, so I will definitely not pursue quick gains or squander all the benefits. All along, my The idea is that everyone wins together.”

"It just so happens that I have an e-commerce platform that specializes in home appliances that I want to talk to you about. It will definitely give Changhong the opportunity to develop more."

"Drink tea, chat while drinking, and try the new tea I just brought."

Fang Zhuo comforted Lao Ni's slightly fluctuating mood with sincerity.

I drank too much yesterday...Forget it, not counting today, I still have 8,000 words to make up.
