Reinventing the Millennium.

Chapter 260 Factions (Two in One)

On March 3, the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, employees of Yike and Guahao.com returned to work one after another. Compared with other Internet companies that still showed the power of layoffs, even Guahao.com, which was said by the media as "no future", remained strong .

Not only does it not lay off staff, but it continues to recruit people, and the treatment is also at the top level in the industry.

However, whether it is Yike Technology under the banner of "the combination of the Internet and music", or the registration network of "the online combination of the Internet and medical pre-diagnosis", both of them are somewhat atypical Internet companies.

You say that they are not Internet companies, and they can indeed be connected with the Internet. If you say yes, they always feel that they are very different from mainstream Internet companies.

But perhaps it is this difference that makes them so unique in this wave of Internet bubbles.

Zhang Shenghui, the former Sina wireless project manager, reviewed his impressions of Yike and Guahao.com after receiving a call from Su Wei, the personnel director of Yike, and gave a more favorable conclusion.

He hopes that such positive comments will bring good news to his new job.

On the afternoon of the fourth day of the fourth day, Zhang Shenghui hurried to the 23rd floor of Hang Lung in Shencheng, entered Yike Technology, first communicated with Director Su Wei, and then waited in the president's office to meet with Yike President Fang Zhuo.

At 03:30, Zhang Shenghui pushed open the door of the president's office, and saw a young man and three Caucasian foreigners.

Oh, I've seen his picture on the news, this handsome man is Fang Zhuo.

Zhang Shenghui got up quickly, and waited with a smile on his face for the end of the conversation between the president and the white people.

The three white men were chattering, and the CEO was chattering too.

Judging from the frequency of speaking to each other, Zhang Shenghui felt that Mr. Fang's English must be very good. Immediately, he watched the president shake hands with the three white men one by one, and the latter turned and left the office.

Zhang Shenghui took a deep breath, knowing that it was his turn.

"Mr. Fang, I'm Zhang Shenghui. I came from Sina. This is my resume."

Fang Zhuo smiled at Zhang Shenghui, took the resume and put it on the table without opening it. He added a cup of tea to Zhang Shenghui and motioned the nervous ex-Sina employee to sit down: "Director Zhang, I won't introduce myself, um , I saw your resume yesterday, and Yi Ke welcomes talents like you."

Zhang Shenghui relaxed a little. He submitted his resume years ago, and Yi Ke's treatment was the best among the companies that responded.

"However, I still have a few questions I want to ask you." Fang Zhuo took a sip of tea, saw the man in front of him looking nervous, and added, "It's a few extra questions, Director Zhang, don't worry, I would like to represent Yike first welcomes you to join."

Zhang Shenghui nodded, ready to fight. He didn't think there would be any additional problems on this occasion, and it might involve his future position in Yike.

"What do you think of Sina's current management? Since the founder left and current president Mao Daolin took over, how is Sina doing?" Fang Zhuo asked.

Zhang Shenghui was a little dazed, and felt that he was probably in the heat.

He thought for a while, thinking that he should not speak ill of the previous family, and replied cautiously: "Sina's situation is not bad, er, Mr. Mao, um, he is a very capable person."

Fang Zhuo smiled slightly, hearing the other party's insincere words, and said: "That's right, Director Zhang, Yike has set up a new investment company and intends to invest some money in Sina, so we are all extra words now, I am looking for it personally. You understand the situation and don’t need to hide it.”

Zhang Shenghui understood, it turned out to be like this!

Then you can't cheat Mr. Fang!

This is his own president, and the one named Mao is the former president!

He said again: "In that case, Mr. Fang, I'll just say it straight."

"Sina's current situation is a bit chaotic. Since President Mao took over, he has promoted many people from overseas and Xiangjiang. Then, he also wants to promote some overseas projects. Well, many people are quite critical of this."

"I don't know what happened later, the overseas project was stopped."

Fang Zhuo nodded and sighed, "If people's hearts are at odds, it will harm the interests of shareholders."

Zhang Shenghui nodded silently. Boss Fang is very forward-looking and has already taken the position of shareholders.

Fang Zhuo asked again: "What about the relationship between the president Mao Daolin and the CEO Wang Yan? Who usually leads the direction?"

"Mr. Mao, he promoted a lot of people, and we all feel that he has taken away a lot of Mr. Wang's authority." Zhang Shenghui recalled, and continued, "Mr. Mao has studied abroad and worked well in overseas companies, and he believes in overseas companies. Mr. Wang is different in that way, although he also graduated from school outside, he returned to China very early."

Fang Zhuo nodded and asked, "What do you think internally about Sunshine TV and Sina's share swap cooperation?"

"Well, it's quite strange. Anyway, I heard from other colleagues that in actual work, Sun TV and Sina's business is not easy to integrate, and it is very laborious." Zhang Shenghui explained, "Also, Mr. Mao's work is relatively illusory, Some things are reported and there is no response.”

Fang Zhuo frowned: "The business is difficult to integrate, and the work style is flawed. How can this protect the interests of shareholders?"

When Zhang Shenghui mentioned this, he already started complaining: "Mr. Mao said he has a 'central kitchen'-style management concept! We don't even know what a 'central kitchen' is..."

Fang Zhuo didn't care about this, and asked: "What does Chairman Duan Yongji think of Mao Daolin and Wang Yan? As far as I know, Wang Yan is Duan Yongji's person?"

"I don't know about this. Mr. Wang is indeed close to Mr. Duan. They both belonged to Stone Company before." Zhang Shenghui shook his head.

"As for the share swap between Sunshine TV and Sina, Mao Daolin is leading it, but it must be negotiated and agreed by high-level officials. Duan Yongji, as the current major shareholder, must nod." Fang Zhuo analyzed, "Mao Daolin is now promoting the overseas returnees to leave Wang Yan's rights, and the latter is owned by Duan Yongji, the major shareholder, who do you think will be responsible for the failure of Sun TV's business?"

Zhang Shenghui was stunned, he hadn't thought about this, why would he think about it at work...

Fang Zhuo continued on his own: "Keep away Wang Zhidong, and Sina's shareholding is scattered again. Mao Daolin, who was temporarily launched, is facing a very fragile balance. The employees he promotes cannot be recognized by the company, and the business he advocates cannot be seen. When it comes to results, well, do you think Wang Yan, who has been deprived of power, will bear it?"

Zhang Shenghui was confused, what was he going to do?Do you want to invest in Sina?

He shook his head subconsciously, and then remembered the chattering of his colleagues in the company: "Uh, Mr. Wang is really tolerant. Anyway, Sina is quite chaotic now, and I heard a lot of complaints before I left."

Fang Zhuo pondered for a few seconds. This has already confirmed a lot of news. At present, apart from Duan Yongji, the major shareholder who is the chairman of the board, there is also a faction representing North American investment institutions. The current president Mao Daolin should be here. .

In addition, Taiwanese capital also has a seat on the board of directors.

Well, Sina was formed by the merger of Stone Lifang and Huayuan Information Network. As the founder of Stone Company, Duan Yongji has direct descendants in Sina. He should be called the Stone School.

Stone, North America, Taiwan-funded.

And, there should be the voice of management.

Fang Zhuo stroked it a little bit, got some ideas for dealing with the route, drank tea, and said with a smile: "Director Zhang, thank you for the information you provided, I see that your resume is working for Sina's wireless value-added project, now this project It should be doing well, right?"

"The company is quite volatile, and I came out because the scale of the wireless project was cut off." Zhang Shenghui told the truth.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Boss Fang slammed the table down abruptly.

"This is really damaging the interests of shareholders!" Fang Zhuo said angrily.

Zhang Shenghui was taken aback, thinking that a successful person must have something extraordinary, and this side is always more or less a bit of a cat cake.

Fang Zhuo shook his head and sighed, remembering the name Mao Daolin better.

He felt that the atmosphere in the office was a little too serious, so he took another sip of tea, and decided to end the meeting with a casual chat: "Director Zhang, I am very optimistic about wireless value-added services, but unfortunately, um, who is your boss at Sina, who is also fired Did it drop?"

"It's Vice President Wang Gaofei, he's still in Sina." Zhang Shenghui replied.

Fang Zhuo nodded, just about to chat, he suddenly stopped, and said to himself: "Wang Gaofei? Ah Jia?"

Zhang Shenghui was puzzled: "What folder?"

"It's nothing." Fang Zhuo waved his hand, got up and said, "Director Zhang has helped me a lot, and I may trouble you if I don't understand anything about Yike Investment in Sina."

"It's okay, it's okay." Zhang Shenghui complained about his predecessor in front of the current one, feeling much more relieved.

"Well, President Su is still waiting for you in the office. You have to go through some entry procedures. In the future, I hope Director Zhang can make progress with Yi Ke." Fang Zhuo shook Zhang Shenghui's hand vigorously.

Zhang Shenghui quickly expressed his opinion before walking out of the president's office.

He went to the bathroom first, then washed his face and calmed down. He felt that Mr. Fang was very cautious in his actions. It was really first-hand that he actually inquired about the news like this before investing.

Fang Zhuo in the president's office took out a stack of documents after the new employees left. This is a summary of Sina's recent information and company actions collected. At present, Sina is going to adjust its structure and establish Sina.com (com) and Sina Enterprise Services (net). , Sina hotline (Online) three independent undertakings.

And this kind of structural adjustment almost means that the business merger between Sina and Sun TV has no place. It can be said that the operation of spending a lot of cash and exchanging shares during the Internet bubble last year has faced failure.

Sina is laying off employees and throwing money at the same time. No wonder its stock price is not good.

Fang Zhuo picked up a pen to draw a sketch, and checked the materials again.

Then, he picked up the phone and dialed the number of CCTV producer Hu Meng.

"Sister Hu, hey, it's me, happy new year, where, where, I'm not busy, I don't want to worry about our show."

"Yes, but, I would like to ask, I heard that several senior executives of Internet companies have been invited as guests this year? Who are they?"

"Hey, the three major listed companies, they really have their cards, oh, Ding Lei from Netease, Zhang Chaoyang from Sohu, and Wang Yan from Sina."

"Yes, no need, Sister Hu, you are too much trouble, even the little things between me and Sina are on your mind, it's okay, it's okay, I actually appreciate Sina, and I just took this opportunity to explain to the people of Sina, You put me and Sina in the same field, don't avoid it."

"Okay, Sister Hu, I'll treat you to dinner when I arrive in the capital. Don't say no. I must invite you. How can I ask Sister Hu to treat you to me?"

"Definitely, okay, let's meet and talk back."

Fang Zhuo hung up the phone with a smile, but he didn't expect Wang Yan from Sina to go to CCTV programs in his leisure time.

Oh yes, it is because of the decentralization that I have a leisurely mind, and it makes sense.

But why did the two from Netease and Sohu also go?
Serious CEO who is going to be on the show, how can you protect the interests of shareholders like this!
Fang Zhuo decided to express this opinion in person when he met the three of them.

That night, Fang Zhuo, who had been busy all day and pondered over his board seat at Sina, received a call from New York just as he got home.

Yu Hong, who arrived in New York for two days, is already at work. She is slightly limited by her untrained oral English, but she has no problem communicating with her employees. More M1 and P1 appeared on the market.

Compared with domestic, people have a natural internal driving force to do business abroad.

"Everything is fine, I am forcing myself to improve my oral English, otherwise it would be strange to always bring a translator."

Yu Hong's voice sounded a little distorted on the phone, but her vitality was the same.

Fang Zhuo felt that from a certain point of view, Xiao Yu and Xiao Zhou were the same. The former was depressed about family relationships, while the latter was frustrated in love. Both of them turned their emotions into work.

"Is Kroger okay?" Fang Zhuo waved his hands at the family in the living room, signaling that he should go to the study to make a call first.

"No problem. Kroger's current channel is the most stable. Our sales of P1 in a single week have surpassed that of M1. Feedback on the price has come out, but customers really feel that there is a lack of a music management software." Yu Hong said.

Fang Zhuo thought for a while and said, "Wait for me to confirm the news. I can announce the launch of iMusic on the website in a few days, but its launch also means that we may have to face a lawsuit."

"We have to take this step anyway, isn't Apple's lawsuit very lively?" Yu Hong has no fear, "Didn't you also find a law firm? I saw a lot of lawyers' business cards in your office."

She paused, and then said: "There is one more thing. People from the Anliang Chamber of Commerce came to the company and asked about your itinerary. I saw that the person who came was quite vicious."

"Fierce? Haha, it's okay, don't worry, they are petty over there, for fear that I will run away." Fang Zhuo said with a smile, "If you or the company encounter any troubles, you can ask them instead. Everyone says that those who owe money It is the uncle, we are the uncle now."

Yu Hong responded and asked, "Is the domestic market okay? When do you plan to arrive in New York?"

"It's still on holiday in China, New York, wait for me to discuss the two with Xiangjiang's organization, and then explore the way of Sina's board of directors, next month should be fine." Fang Zhuo calculated the time in his mind.

"Okay, then I'll be in New York to prepare for Mr. Fang's visit." Yu Hong pretended to be serious, "Must satisfy Mr. Fang."

Fang Zhuo raised the corner of his mouth: "Okay, Xiao Yu."
