Reinventing the Millennium

"Dear leaders, distinguished guests, and friends from the media, good afternoon."

The male host on the stage held the microphone and spoke passionately about the opening remarks of the meeting.

Zhou Xin in the audience listened with great interest.

"This host must be a professional TV host here in Lin'an. This broadcasting tone is really..." Fang Zhuo was a little speechless. Seeing Director Xiao Zhou's eyes fixed on him, he smiled and said, "You are still so attentive after such a useless opening statement." .”

Zhou Xin shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, this is the first time someone calls me 'Dear Guest', it's very fresh."

Fang Zhuo was silent, this Te Miao was really a young student.

The host's opening remarks were a bit lengthy, and then leaders came on stage to deliver speeches.

Fang Zhuo had not experienced this for many years. He sat in the audience and listened with no interest. After a while, his eyes turned sideways and he saw Teacher Liang Min who happened to look back at him.

Lao Liang is worthy of being a teacher, and he still cares about his students at this time.

Fang Zhuo nodded with a smile, and received a nod from the other party.

The leader who spoke on the stage was Lin'an Vice Mayor Qiu Di, who is in charge of commerce. His speech was not long. He simply welcomed the arrival of many Internet entrepreneurs and declared that he would strive to build Lin'an into a leading Internet central city in the country.

When this speaker finished his speech, the third one to go up was Wu Jiaming, director of the Office of the LA City Urban and Rural Planning Commission. His speech was relatively down to earth, mainly talking about the urban areas designated by Lin'an for Internet companies and related welfare policies.

He also took Alibaba, which received investment from SoftBank this year, as an example, and talked about Lin'an's strong support for enterprises.

Fang Zhuo was much more serious when he heard this paragraph. He had specifically looked for the little man in his memory before, but he only saw a man in a suit at Ali's seat. He didn't know which one of the Eighteen Arhats he was.

"Scam company, something will happen sooner or later."

The person in the next seat suddenly scolded in a low voice.

Fang Zhuo's heart skipped a beat and he almost thought he was talking about himself. It took him two seconds to realize that he was talking about Ali, who was used as an example by Director Wu.

He thought for a moment and asked honestly: "Brother, I am a student here to gain experience. I have never heard of Ali before. Why do you call it a liar?"

"This company just collects money from your company and claims that it can be seen by foreign companies." The man next to him said disdainfully, "It takes more than 10,000 yuan a year. How many foreign trade orders can it actually make? It's all a lie. "

Fang Zhuo nodded: "So that's it. Which company does the eldest brother belong to?"

"I'm Zhao Jingke from Huicong.com." The man sitting next to me shook hands, "I specialize in B2B and help small and medium-sized enterprises."

Fang Zhuo couldn't help but laugh. Good guy, he turned out to be a competitor.

He remembered that there seemed to be such a level of competition, but he didn't hear any noise after that.

Zhao Jingke taught earnestly: "You are a student with no social experience. If you are looking for a company to cooperate, you must distinguish right from wrong. Let me tell you, Alibaba Company is in Lin'an, and only the director on that stage can mention it."

Fang Zhuo nodded repeatedly.

Zhou Xin, who was next to him, couldn't listen and wanted to refute.

Fang Zhuo knew what he was thinking at a glance, touched his arm and whispered: "Don't offend anyone."

Zhou Xin was dismayed.

The speeches on the stage continued. The leaders had finished speaking. This time they were replaced by the company representative, Xu Cailiang, the senior vice president of Sohu.

This year, the three major domestic portals have been listed in the United States. Sohu is the latest among the three. Although its stock price has fallen below the issue price, it has also followed the example of the first two and found an occasion to show its presence.

"The Internet is developing at a rapid pace. In the second half of last year, many people were still worried about the millennium bug. This year, everyone is focusing on overseas listings."

"As a company that has successfully gone global, Sohu deserves to be able to show the face of the domestic Internet to Nasdaq on the other side of the ocean. This is extremely valuable."

Fang Zhuo frowned as he listened to this in his seat, but when he looked around, he saw that the leaders of many companies were filled with bright eyes.

Yes, even if the IPO is broken, it will be listed, and the assets will increase immediately. This overseas listing road is undoubtedly the dream of many companies.

Moreover, the stock price problem can also be attributed to the Internet bubble that is spreading around the world. It is not a crime of war, but it is really bad timing.

Fang Zhuo began to take a deep breath while listening.

"What's wrong, Brother Fang?" Zhou Xin asked.

"We are next." Fang Zhuo replied.

Zhou Xin said "Ah" and immediately felt as if he had been sitting on a hard seat for three days and three nights. His buttocks couldn't sit still. He didn't expect that it would be his turn so soon. This... was like a dream. Do you really want to go up there? ?

Sohu Senior Vice President Xu Cailiang's speech won a round of applause, and he also stepped down with a satisfied smile.

The host held the card and read: "Now I would like to invite Mr. Fang Zhuofang from the registration network to speak."

Registration network?

Have not heard.

Many guests in the venue suddenly had this thought in their minds.

Zhou Xin's heart suddenly rose to his throat.

Fang Zhuo jumped up and trotted all the way to the stage very quickly and got the microphone.

White T-shirt, jeans, good looking, in his early twenties, very energetic.

Is this Mr. Fang from Guanhao.com?

The leaders and guests on stage in front were all in formal attire. Suddenly, such a young man appeared, and everyone in the audience found it strange.

"Hello everyone, I'm Fang Zhuo from the registration website."

“The young boss of a young Internet company.”

“The goal of our website is to make it easy to register an account.”

Fang Zhuo paused when he said this, and glanced at Ali's position specifically.

There was a burst of chuckles in the audience. Alibaba's slogan of "making it easy to do business anywhere" is still quite loud nowadays. Is this a tribute?

In addition, it is actually in the medical field, which is quite interesting. What kind of gameplay is it?

"I just listened to Mr. Xu of Sohu's speech. He talked about the extremely valuable things Sohu has done as an Internet company. I am deeply envious."

"However, from my daily use, the most valuable and meaningful thing about Sohu as an Internet company is that it makes it easier for people to see all kinds of information."

"The Internet will change this era and profoundly change people's lives."

"The three portals listed in the United States this year, Sohu, Sina, and NetEase, why were they able to go public? In my opinion, it is because they solved the problem of what people watch online."

"There is news on the portal, which relies on the speed of the Internet and is more timely than traditional media."

"There is information on the portal, and information in different sections can capture the interest of different people."

"Their value is what supports Nasdaq's acceptance of them."

"In other fields, like Penguin, it is solving the problem of how netizens communicate, and it is of great value."

Fang Zhuo said this and glanced at Penguin Ma's position, who smiled back.

The young man on the stage spoke loudly and with high spirits, as if he was driving changes in the entire era by owning three websites and founding Penguin.

However, even if it seems a little arrogant, this speech does not make people feel annoyed. Young people should be high-spirited, just like the sun at eight or nine o'clock in the morning.
