Reinventing the Millennium

Chapter 311: Sincerity (Two in One)

From a hateful face to a friendly one, from procrastinating to being honest and efficient, sometimes it only takes one day to change one's 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 the team back to the company.

He called Fang Zhuo's mobile phone, but it was still turned off. It was estimated that the meeting was not over yet.

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

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

"That's good, Director Xu should be able to call in the evening." Fang Zhuo's voice was a little hoarse.

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

"It went well. The leader was very kind. I probably spoke a little too much." Fang Zhuo was still in the car at this time. He lowered the car window and took a breath. "There is no dinner left for dinner. I have to attend a meeting with the registration network after dinner. Can China Unicom sign the contract?"

"It hasn't come to that 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 at the most famous square in the country that had just passed by the car, and nodded: "In the final analysis, Li Shibin and I don't seem to have any deep grudges. It's okay to have a few more meetings with each other. Business is prudent."

"For him, it shouldn't be necessary to insist on blocking the Sina hotline. It's better to resolve the feud than to make it."

Wang Yan agreed with this point. The bureaucrats in the enterprise are female, and the ones in the upper departments are male. The female will not work when they see the male.

"Speaking of which, the Unicom incident was probably because of me. Is my reputation so annoying?" Fang Zhuo laughed at himself, "Fortunately, we are back on track. We have to work harder to finalize this cooperation."

Wang Yan said quickly: "Good things take time."

"I hope so."

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

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

The local response to the policy of information construction has gradually stopped since the end of last year, and the problems in this area were emphasized again at today's meeting.

Of course, more is to review the results, and to talk about the national economic informationization that has been launched since 1993. At that time, it was "Golden Gate", "Golden Bridge" and "Golden Card", and later continued the construction of "Golden Tax", "Golden Intelligence" and "Golden Transportation".

A total of twelve items, known as the "Twelve Gold" project.

As an achievement of the development of information technology in the medical field, the registration network is classified as medical insurance in the "Golden Insurance" project, which is a useful supplement to public services.

Fang Zhuo heard the official wording, and also met Zheng Danrui whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

The two did not say hello, but only exchanged glances.

It was the moment when he saw Team Leader Zheng that Fang Zhuo suddenly realized that he would have to make rewards and punishments for the information construction in the past few years.

If nothing unexpected happens, Zheng Danrui will definitely make contributions, and I don't know what kind of promotion he will get.

Fang Zhuo was thoughtful in the car, but he didn't plan to contact Zheng Danrui. It seemed that he should avoid suspicion at this time. Anyway, as long as the registration website continues to operate, this achievement will be there.

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

That night, the senior management of the registration website basically flew to Beijing from Shencheng or Lin'an, and there will be some administrative inquiries in the next few days.

Although the registration website 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 the registration website, almost all the original people have been updated. The senior management of the registration website 2.0 version is more from famous schools or other companies.

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

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

"Brother Fang, this attempt may be difficult." Zhou Xin had no opinion at the meeting, but he had some objections in private, "Why don't we do more development of the hospital system? The system of Lin'an Hospital can bring us more customers, and there will be greater demand in this area in the future."

"Try it, give it a try." Fang Zhuo did not explain too much, just said, "Guahao.com can be partially transformed into a builder of the medical system, but online medicine is a long-term thing."

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

Zhou Xin was stunned: "Is this okay?"

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

Zhou Xin felt that his boss was a little insincere. The situation in Mayong and Kunshan did not seem like a simple try.

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

When I was on the plane before, I met a boss who was doing trade in Beijing and recognized me. The boss had a daughter. They exchanged numbers. Fang Zhuo said at the time that he could introduce the top student from the University of Science and Technology to him.

"We are still together." Zhou Xin said calmly.

Fang Zhuo was puzzled: "?"

"I'm busy recently. I think the development of software systems will hopefully bring more profits to the company." Zhou Xin smiled and said, "She's okay, but she doesn't have any career aspirations."

Fang Zhuo thought that Zhou Xin's last girlfriend seemed to have even less career aspirations, but he didn't say much. It depends on the individual.

Guahao.com is low-key in its administrative cooperation work. It is carrying more users with the development of the Internet, but 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 his 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 puzzled 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 Cheng 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. It has lost 90% of its market value since it went public. At first glance, there is a new business with hope of making profits. This kind of work has a sense of accomplishment and emotion. The recognition came so fast and furious.

In addition, the young president does not put on airs and is not at all domineering when getting along with him as described by the media. 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 in a bachelor's manner and said righteously, "That's why I'm so 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, the money prepared for controlling Sina has almost been used up, and more than two million US dollars have been spent than expected.

MIGA Fund, loans from Yike Investment, domestic and foreign equity pledges, and a small amount of Yike loan.

This is close to Fang Zhuo's limit, and the only way to use funds is to take them from Yike Technology.

Although the previously announced 200 million US dollars enterprise sounds good, with the breakdown of the acquisition negotiations with Apple, it is just a value argument that exists in the past, and it still needs to invest and negotiate music copyright authorization.

Fang Zhuo rubbed his face and couldn't help but call Yu Hong in New York and pour out his grievances to her.

"Mr. Fang, you don't want to use Yike's financing money, do you? I'm at a critical point in negotiating copyrights here." Yu Hong gave a vigilant first reaction.

"I, I just want to relieve the pressure." Fang Zhuo was helpless.

"Oh, is there any place to spend money next?" Yu Hong asked with concern this time.

"I had some originally, but I just didn't have the money, so I made it up." Fang Zhuo said with a wry smile, "Last time when Sunshine Culture made trouble at the board meeting, I agreed to a price double that of Sunshine Culture, but where can I find the money to give them now!"

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

She asked, "How did you get around it?"

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

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

"Anyway, I have to withdraw. I can wait for a few months. When the third quarter financial report is released, if the stock price does not rise, I will still buy shares."

Yu Hong thought for a while: "There is nothing wrong. I don't know if you are true or false, but this is very sincere."

Fang Zhuo slapped his thigh: "That's right, I rely on being sincere to people to make a living, and everyone wins."

"What about Duan Yongji?" Yu Hong laughed.

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

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

After she finished laughing, she comforted him, "Last time, you said you would reward yourself with a luxury car if you took over Sina. Be patient, there will be bread and luxury cars."

"I just want bread now." Fang Zhuo sighed, "Just wait for Sina to hand over the bread completely to me."

There is one more chapter.
