Chapter 735 A Rhetorical Question (Two in One)

Fang Zhuo didn't know why Lao Xiong was particularly interested in a project like Zhihu, but since he was so concerned, it was not a complicated matter to build a project team.

Because it was independently operated in China, the funding was directly taken care of by President Xiong, and the talents were transferred from Sina and placed in Beijing.

Sina was an expert in content and had already had a reference with Quora, so the website was launched quickly, and even Lao Xiong served as a co-founder.

It can be seen that President Xiong really had an irrepressible desire to dance with Zhihu.

Fang Zhuo was busy sorting out the company's affairs after returning to China in Shencheng, and did not pay much attention to the toys that Lao Xiong was operating far away in Beijing.

When he thought of this, Zhihu had been quietly online for three days.

The layout and color of the website looked relatively refreshing, but perhaps because users were still using the invitation system, there was not much content.

Fang Zhuo clicked on a few questions casually and unexpectedly found that the user IDs were all real names, with a line of introductions to their real achievements, which was a bit of that flavor.

He browsed the answers of these people and saw that they were all quite attentive as expected.

After all, once the name and achievements are linked, the public figure will be on the rise, and it will always feel uncomfortable if you don't have some practical experience.

Fang Zhuo admired the reproduced Lao Xiong's investment experience, and then clicked on the rather conspicuous question about himself.

He was also a little curious about how others see him.

"From Sina Portal to Sina Blog and now Zhihu, I am very happy to be named by Mr. Fang to do such a sexy project. As Mr. Fang's subordinate, I don't know whether I should answer this question."

"But after thinking about it, it may be interesting to look at Mr. Fang from the perspective of a Sina person."

"A few years ago, I was the director of Sina Portal and personally experienced the turmoil before and after. At that time, the general impression of me and my colleagues was who is this person who suddenly appeared with the intention of acquiring Sina?"

"The next thing is probably-Mr. Fang: I will let you know who I am."

"Even so, most of us I think he is a big villain. "

"What really changed us and Sina from top to bottom is his business talent. Sina's success today is inseparable from Mr. Fang's decision at a critical moment. After acquiring Sina, he did not make a big move, but solved the problem with development. "

"So, Mr. Fang has changed from a big villain in my impression to a superhero of Sina. "

Fang Zhuo took a look. This was the answer of Sun Mosheng, the person in charge of Zhihu who came from Sina. In fact, it was not that he specifically asked him to do Zhihu. He just asked Wang Yan and selected him...

But when he said that, this work ability sounded very recognized by the boss.

Fang Zhuo browsed down and saw Xiong Xiaoge's answer at a glance.

Old Xiong's answer was only one sentence: "Mr. Fang is a person who always surprises me, in various senses."

Fang Zhuo felt that Old Xiong was quite cultured, and there was a lot of charm in his words.

Continue to browse down, except for Old Xiong who was a little meaningful, the others were basically flattering.

——"Mr. Fang is a very tenacious person. His spiritual attributes are an important factor in getting to where he is today."

——"I have met Mr. Fang twice on different occasions. I feel that he is different from what I imagined. He is very humble and humorous."

——"Mr. Fang is of course one of the top people in the domestic business. I am optimistic that he will start a new situation in the e-commerce track. Yiguo's prospects are likely to be greater than those of his predecessors. Yiguo also has resources and funds that Yike did not have at the beginning. I believe it will be like a fish in water. Oh yes, Mr. Fang also has Bingxin, which is too difficult. I have talked to many friends about Mr. Fang's decision. I think I would never do it if I were in his place. But Bingxin is linked to Mr. Fang, which seems to be acceptable to people."

Fang Zhuo took a quick look and found that most of the comments were positive.

He thought about it and understood what was going on. These users were invited to register and basically used their real names. How could they criticize themselves under such a question?

Hey, what's the point of flattery?

Fang Zhuo read on with relish.

I saw the latest answer at the end, which was from Sina President Wang Yan.

—— "Mr. Fang's judgment on the Internet has always been praised. The open letter he wrote to Sina employees has also become an open letter for the entire network. But in addition to his vision, I admire his courage to do things and his combination of firmness and flexibility."

—— "He is very patient to calmly judge various situations. Many times, everyone only pays attention to his lightning and thunder at critical moments, but the more important clouds and rain are hidden behind."

Fang Zhuo closed the computer with satisfaction. Mr. Wang is also a cultured person.

That's it. There is no need to read any new answers.

That night, Fang Zhuo received a call from Lao Xiong again, asking whether he would review the advantages and disadvantages of the new website.

He casually said a few of his ideas and discussed the relationship between SNS Q&A communities and search engines with the co-founder of Zhihu.

At the end, Xiong Xiaoge asked: "Mr. Fang, did you see the question I asked about you?"

Fang Zhuo replied: "Yes, I saw it. What a surprise."

Xiong Xiaoge criticized: "Why don't you like my post?"

"I don't have an account, and no one invited me to register." Fang Zhuo looked innocent.

Xiong Xiaoge thought that he could use Mr. Fang's reputation in the circle, and seriously criticized the other party's idea of ​​trying to fish in troubled waters.

When the call ended, Fang Zhuo immediately received the invitation code sent by Lao Xiong's text message, and then he had an account in his own name.

But after he completed the registration, he did not browse the website that was not rich enough. He let Lao Xiong and the others fiddle with it first and see what they could do.

However, not even two days had passed since he had such an idea. Just as Fang Zhuo's communication with Zhang Xuebin became closer, he was sitting in the office and saw Su Wei solemnly walking in and opening the Zhihu webpage.

It's still the same problem.

This time there is an additional criticism or criticism answer.

The answer was none other than Huang Guangyu, the head of Gome.

Huang Guangyu also used his real name, and there was only the word "Gome" in his introduction, but his answer was so eloquent that he wrote a long article.

Fang Zhuo glanced at it and smiled before reading the content: "What's going on? Mr. Huang is here to support my work? He actively came to the website to increase traffic?"

Su Wei frowned and said, "I'm afraid this traffic will increase a lot."

Fang Zhuo dragged the mouse and quickly finished reading Mr. Dahuang's criticism of him.

To put it simply, there are three in total.

First, Tesco’s model destroyed the offline distribution system.

Second, the cooperation between Tesco and chain brands such as Suning and Five-Star is already malicious competition against Gome.

Third, it was also a direct attack on the personal side. Mr. Dahuang was filled with indignation and said that he was using financial means to attack the real economy like Gome, and his short-selling operation in Hong Kong stocks was outrageous.

Be eloquent and have a fierce attitude.

Fang Zhuo was extremely surprised and fell into deep thought after reading it.

Su Wei looked at it again and said: "Is Mr. Huang forced to have no choice but to have such a tight capital chain that he must use this method to gain space? It doesn't sound good to use financial means to impact the real economy. ”

She said angrily: "It was Gome who took the initiative to start the war, but now that the situation is bad, why do you do this backhand? If you have anything to say, just call us or say it in person, and even go to a newly opened website of yours."

Fang Zhuo shook his head slightly: "What can he say to me in private on the phone? Beg for mercy? Mr. Su, people seek peace through struggle. Maybe the situation is really bad. Maybe there is a more drastic way to make him Unacceptable funding conditions.”

Su Wei thought for a while. Gome is currently short of liquidity, and its most important task is to ease the liquidity in its accounts. Could it be that other sources of funds took the opportunity to offer cutting conditions? Are they his powerful compatriots?

After all, Gome has real stores and market share. Even if there are headwinds, it still has huge value.

She understood what Mr. Fang meant and didn't discuss it. She just asked, "Mr. Huang is a little unreasonable. Let's just ask Mr. Xiong to block this answer and account."

"Dahuang is not a reckless person. Since he used this method to try to get rid of me, the media must have arranged it." Fang Zhuo was a little dumbfounded. "This website has just been launched, and you will block people's accounts at every turn. If this is exposed, what will the users think? This is basically wrong, I have to worry about you."

Su Wei was thoughtful, and she didn't consider the impact on the new website.

While the two were talking, Xiong Xiaoge called in.

Fang Zhuo pressed the voice button.

Xiong Xiaoge said immediately: "Huang Guangyu is criticizing you on Zhihu, should I block his account?"

Su Wei: "..."

Fang Zhuo: "..."

Xiong Xiaoge continued: "I haven't seen who invited him. I think his answer is not objective enough."

Fang Zhuo took a breath and persuaded: "Old Xiong, you can remove your name as co-founder. I don't agree with what you said, but I will defend your right to speak to the death. If you can't do this, don't come up. It can’t be sealed or not.”

He added: "Mr. Huang discusses the facts anyway. He either ignores him and treats him coldly, or refutes him. Hey, I found out what happened to you people?"

Xiong Xiaoge calmed down for a moment. On the one hand, he was angry at Mr. Huang's actions, and on the other hand, he didn't like anything going wrong with the website he built.

But thinking about it on the other hand, what Mr. Fang said is right. There must be a discussion atmosphere where you can accept what you agree with and tolerate those who don't hold the same position.

He asked: "Then what are you going to do?"

"Since Mr. Huang came to Zhihu to accuse me, I will just stay here. As for how other media will spread it, that is another matter." Fang Zhuo was very calm and was not annoyed by Mr. Huang's criticism.

Xiong Xiaoge understood, hung up the phone first, and then refreshed the web page.

Soon, he saw Mr. Fang’s first answer on Zhihu.

——Strange, why is Mr. Huang afraid of short selling?

A rhetorical question in one sentence.

You Dahuang always say that my financial means have impacted your real economy. If this short-selling financial means is so powerful, why don’t I short others? Why don't you just short my company?

Why are you afraid of going short? Is there any problem with your company? Do you want to sell your stocks to cash out?

These meanings are all reflected in rhetorical questions.

You can be so arrogant and arrogant, but I need you to answer this point.

Fang Zhuo waited for a while but didn't get Mr. Dahuang's response.

He said to Su Wei with a little regret: "This kind of Q&A community is not real-time enough. I don't know if Dahuang has seen my questions to him."

Su Wei suggested: "You can ask Sina Finance to ask the same question, so he will definitely see it."

Fang Zhuo turned his head and glanced at Mr. Su. He was close to the black and black.

He shook his head and said nothing.

Su Wei said a little strangely: "It is better to pursue the enemy with the remaining courage. Mr. Fang, why are you hesitant and soft-hearted?"

"Well, it's not hesitation and soft-hearted." Fang Zhuo said, "I will ask Sina to introduce the situation of Mr. Huang after returning from Turin. He may be forced into a hurry because of this."

Su Wei suddenly realized that she had done it before.

As the president of Yiguo, she said again: "There is no need to stop shorting Hong Kong stocks. Even if it is not in our name, it is okay to short-sell across a layer. Yiguo and Gome still have a relatively large competition in electrical appliances and electronics. If its capital liquidity is eased, the current market share will still be very powerful."

Fang Zhuo nodded slightly. Anyway, he could lock Mr. Huang's stocks for as long as he could. His other competitors have been sharpening their knives since the end of last year.

"Give me the invitation code, and I will also register an account, and then I will ask the company to give me some points." Su Wei also wanted to express her position.

Fang Zhuo smiled, this little Su...

Soon, as the person concerned responded to the question himself, the popularity of this question was obviously much higher than before.

Correspondingly, someone seriously analyzed in Mr. Fang's comment area why Mr. Huang was afraid of short selling.

This analyst was also quite knowledgeable and combined known administrative regulations and other factors to talk about this matter.

Fang Zhuo interacted with him in the comment area: "You can open a new question, and everyone will brainstorm and help Mr. Huang think of a solution together."

So, a new question was born on the website-if you were in charge of Gome, how would you solve the current difficulties?

The respondents expressed their opinions, some talked about suppliers, some talked about terminal stores, and some talked about cost reduction...

Everyone seriously put themselves in the shoes of others and considered how to solve the situation Gome was facing.

As a result, two days later, an answer received the highest and continuous likes.

-Go to Shencheng to find Mr. Fang to apologize sincerely and drink three cups in a row.

Fang Zhuo also saw this answer and could only sigh that this atmosphere is not right. How can you be so clever at the beginning? Why do you guys like such a clever post?

Su Wei gave her own understanding: "Mr. Fang, do you think this is possible? Maybe this is an effective way to solve some problems?"

"Impossible." Fang Zhuo sighed, "I have always said that the first lesson I learned when I first entered the world is that business competition is so ruthless. I just want to see if he can make it through this."
