Reinventing the Millennium.

Chapter 273 Qing Emperor's Side (Two in One)

Yike Fangzhuo and Sina Wang Yan had a very relaxed dinner.

Unlike Fang Zhuo's grassroots background, Wang Yan is from a scholarly family.

His grandfather was an outstanding scientist, the founder of the domestic underwater acoustics industry, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the first director of the Institute of Acoustics of the Academy of Sciences.

His great-grandfather was a famous biologist who served as the president of Xiamen University, and his third grandfather was also an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and one of the main founders of the domestic nuclear chemical industry.

His grandma is a singer, a vocal music educator, and a professor at the Huaxia Conservatory of Music.

His father was one of the first diplomats stationed in France and a French Knight of the Legion of Honor.

In addition, the family also has people who are engaged in drama, music composition, mathematics, lawyers, and trade.

As for himself, he graduated from the University of Paris and lived in France for six years, and his knowledge and conversation are top-notch.

Fang Zhuo didn't know this at first, but he heard Wang Yan talk about red wine in a clear way. After careful questioning, he learned that his grandfather had dipped his chopsticks in red wine since he was a child, and he also knew that there were Qian Xuesen, Qian Sanqiang, and Guo Yonghuai in the building where he lived when he was a child. , Yang Jiachi...

The more they chatted, the more confused they became, and when they reached a point of confusion, they knew that the ancestral home of the person in front of them was Anqing, Anqing, Anqing, and suddenly there was a kind of self-mockery that everyone's ancestral home was not far away, and they were not too far away, and they were not moved by the prominent family background.

On the contrary, thinking about it this way, Fang Zhuo felt that people from such a family would not blindly follow Duan Yongji, the major shareholder in Sina.

"Mr. Fang, I really admire that you can create a registration network from scratch. It is very scalable. I think the Internet can be involved in more medical fields."

"Unfortunately, it is really not easy to find profit points at this stage, and the changes in industry policies are really helpless."

Wang Yan sipped the red wine and chatted about Fang Zhuo's registration network.

"Guahao.com can wait a little longer. It will be a popular brand. Our promotion in East China is very comprehensive and in-depth." Fang Zhuo said with a smile, "The computer textbooks in East China include how to use Guahao.com. If you can’t see it in the short term, it will have an effect in the medium and long term.”

He continued: "In terms of teaching materials, we are still trying to use them in a wider range. If possible, Guahao.com's goal is to become a national brand website."

Wang Yan thought about it for a while. This is quite the ambition of cultivating people in ten years: "The funds to keep it alive? How can it make a profit?"

"The Internet always burns money. I believe Mr. Wang should be more aware of this." Fang Zhuo said, "Does Mr. Wang think that Amazon will appear in China?"

Wang Yan nodded: "Sooner or later, e-commerce is one of the directions of Internet development."

"Then, the confidence for Guahao.com to survive is that it has the potential to become the Amazon of Huaxia Medical." Fang Zhuo smiled slightly, "We are now doing storage in Macong, Guangdong Province, and Kunshan in the Yangtze River Delta is also looking for suitable factories. Speaking of leasing, the logistics express service in the Yangtze River Delta is the most mature place in China.”

Wang Yan couldn't believe it: "I haven't heard such news in the industry at all?"

"In the industry and the media, everyone always pays attention to things that can be tossed. Of course, people who have been sentenced to death like Guahao.com are not interested in learning about it. It's normal." Fang Zhuo smiled, "However, this will indeed affect investors' perception of The confidence in the website, fortunately, we got the investment first, and lost confidence later.”

Wang Yan: "..."

He sighed from one to the other: "Boss Fang really wants to be the top in the vertical field. The accounting website talked about on the show yesterday is also a vertical field. Sometimes, I think Sina just lacks a little bit of this meaning."

When Wang Yangang said this, he suddenly remembered the question he had when he logged on to Guahao.com a few days ago: "Mr. Fang, why didn't Guahao.com put up advertisements? This is also a major item of profit."

"I didn't say it just now. We have received investment, so we will spend it first. If we can't sustain it, we will consider advertising. I think advertising will damage the brand value of Guahao.com." Fang Zhuo shrugged, "And, except for me Having said that, Guahao.com is now doing offline system business in Lin'an, and maybe it can give back.”

Wang Yan was silent. Compared with Sina's desperate efforts to develop the advertising business, they are more ambitious than listed companies.

Fang Zhuo seemed to know what the CEO was thinking, and said: "Guahao.com is different from a website with media attributes like Sina. The advertising business needs to be cautious. Shareholders have long been disappointed in me, and I don't have to think too much about them, so Don’t be in a hurry for immediate gain.”

Wang Yan laughed, such a reverse balance is really rare in enterprises.

After Fang Zhuo finished talking about himself, he said that he was right: "Sina's recent actions made me feel very flustered. I wanted to stretch out my left fist, but then kicked out my right foot. I heard that I still want to do overseas business?"

Wang Yan was a little helpless. This was the current Sina CEO Mao Daolin's decision, but he withdrew it after a series of struggles. This process was very internal friction.

Fang Zhuo observed his words, first poured himself half a glass of wine, and then quoted a poem to ridicule: "In ancient times, there was the side of the Qing emperor, but today is not lacking in maturity."

Wang Yan laughed out loud, understood the allusion, and felt that Mr. Fang was really interesting, so he used an allusion: "Fortunately, Mr. Fang didn't say 'Heroes in the world, only Mr. Wang and Zhuo Er'."

He clinked his wine glass and asked, "Mr. Fang bought Sina's shares at this time, just waiting for Haiyan Heqing in the future, so he can make a lot of money?"

Fang Zhuo grunted, without red wine etiquette, drank half a glass of wine in one gulp, nodded and said, "That's not it."

Wang Yan said with a smile: "Sina stock will go up, I really believe in this."

Fang Zhuo nodded in agreement.

That night was full of small talk, and there was only a few words about Yike Investment's purchase of 3% shares from the major shareholder Duan Yongji.

—— "The shares held by Duan's head office will go through the procedure in the next two days. I have the number of his company here, and I will send it to Fang Boss later."

--"it is good."

The intention is confirmed, the program is docked, the money is stamped, and the document is signed.

According to the current market value of Sina, Duan Yongji is willing to "improve life" and sell 3% of the shares worth 1032 million Huaxia currency. This money is used by Fang Zhuo's pledged funds from the bank with Yike shares.

However, successfully buying the shares in the hands of major shareholders and locking in his operating space in disguise is only the first step. Fang Zhuo did not mention the topic of the board of directors all night.

At present, Yike Investment only has the bottom line of holding proposed seats after obtaining 3% of the shares, and more room for manipulation is needed regarding the seats on the board of directors.

After this relaxing and enjoyable dinner, Fang Zhuo went back to the hotel and took out his mobile phone and entered a record text message on it.

——2002年3月22日，易科投资即将持有新浪3%的股份，对标大股东股份变更权限为2002年9月22日左右。

He thought about it and added another one.

——On the evening of March 2002, 3, Sina CEO Wang Yan and I discussed about Haiyan Heqing after Qing Dynasty, and the two sides happily reached a consensus.

It is only a small step for Sina's major shareholder to sell 3% of the equity, but the acquisition of Sina is a big step.

That night, Fang Zhuo contacted the people from Duan Yongji's company, and communicated with the other party about the equity transfer procedure. Because 3% did not reach the line for listing companies listed on the US stock market, the procedure was not complicated.

So, it was dealt with in Shencheng after an appointment for two days.

In the early hours of the morning, Fang Zhuoshu didn't feel sleepy. Except for a little bit of joy that he was about to get the equity, he was mainly thinking about how to open his mouth for this board seat.

Although I have been in close contact with Wang Yan, who has a prominent family background recently, and the two of them chatted speculatively, it is difficult for a person who has no business relationship with Sina to become a non-executive director of a listed company, and it is difficult to perfectly cut in.

If this kind of cut-in involving the voting rights of the board of directors is not perfect or barely perfect, will Sina have doubts?

Fang Zhuo had to think more.

Most of the reasons given to an excited player during the day were for the CEO of Sina. Now Sina's market value is only about 4000 million US dollars, which is equivalent to a little over 3 million Huaxia currency.

And Yike's annual sales have reached 2 million, and the status of the two parties is not the same, at least they can chat.

Of course, the market value of Sina is a special moment due to the global Internet bubble. Many people believe that its value is more than that, but not everyone can stick to it.

Just like Duan Yongji, the current major shareholder, Fang Zhuo doesn’t know whether he has more important things to do with his 3% transfer of shares, but from his own point of view, this operation is undoubtedly impulsive and full of enthusiasm. self-doubting.

At one o'clock in the morning, Fang Zhuo was still awake, but his mobile phone unexpectedly received a call from Yu Hong in New York.

"Hey, Mr. Fang, haven't you bought a ticket to New York yet?" Yu Hong's voice was quite clear at night.

"No, I'm in the capital. I'll go back to Shencheng tomorrow afternoon to deal with things. It's the end of the month." Fang Zhuo's voice was very energetic.

Yu Hong smiled: "Although it's late in China, I guessed that you weren't asleep yet."

"Then congratulations, you guessed it right, how about the lawsuit and countersuit?" Fang Zhuo asked.

"The result is not so fast. I think both sides seem to be quite confident. RIAA's attitude is very tough, and Cadwalader Law Firm is also very optimistic. Putting aside the worries at the beginning, I am now at a loss as to which side is more confident." Yu Hong said.

She paused, and then said, "Today, an employee asked me to resign."

"Are you going to call you abroad to resign?" Fang Zhuo thought it was a domestic employee.

Yu Hong said: "No, it was Chen Hairen who came to the United States in the second batch. He came back to New York from Houston to find me very seriously, and handed in his resignation face to face."

Fang Zhuo pondered: "What's the reason?"

"Because we were sued by the Americans." Yu Hong said angrily and funny.

Fang Zhuo was taken aback: "Is it just because of this?"

"I was also very surprised and communicated repeatedly, but he just felt that Yi Ke pounced on the RIAA like a demon and seriously violated the other party's rights." Yu Hong said angrily, "I said, this lawsuit hasn't come down yet, the infringement The court has the final say on non-violation."

The marketing director asked, "Guess what he said?"

"Think we have a high chance of losing the lawsuit?" Fang Zhuo guessed.

"He said, if there is no infringement, will people sue?" Yu Hong said.

"..."

Fang Zhuo was speechless for a long time, and he asked after a while: "Isn't this Chen Hairen the first person who followed us to join the registration network? Was he recruited by the society?"

"Well, the agency recruited in, and the English is very good." Yu Hong replied.

"I have some comfort in this way. Well, things like Mu Qiang are normal. It is right to take Qiang as a matter of course. This logic can also be imagined. It is Yi Ke's bad luck." Fang Zhuo thought when he came back to his senses Very open.

Yu Hong said unexpectedly: "Are you not too angry? I was so angry at the time!"

"We are underachievers in the world. We have just joined the WTO. The GDP of the United States is nearly 8 times that of ours. Everything still needs to be worked hard, including everyone's understanding of litigation, overseas markets, and the world. "Fang Zhuo's emotion was so sudden and real.

"Chen Hairen from Yike decided that his company made a mistake when he heard the lawsuit. He is just a microcosm of this era."

"Whether he resigned out of so-called justice or out of fear of the company getting into a lawsuit, he is the one who has lost the most. What is there to be angry about? It's just ridiculous."

Looking forward more than ten years later, China is now an immature but vibrant economy. It is trying to learn international rules until the rules tear off the veil it has always advertised.

"Okay." Yu Hong was a little discouraged. She felt betrayed, but seeing Fang Zhuo say that, she had no choice but to try to get closer to the president's ideological realm.

She said lightly again: "Since you think so, then I'd better go back to my Flame Mountain."

"Huh?" Fang Zhuo heard this sudden sentence, and the next second he realized that it was a line from "A Chinese Journey to the West", and said with a joke, "Director Xiao Yu is not Mrs. Niu. At this moment, the moon in the capital is full .”

"I can't see it again." Yu Hong complained, "I remember that when you were in Luzhou, you said that you could go to see Zhou Xingxing's movie together, but now I am sent to New York by you, and there is no movie. Seen!"

"Well, when the lawsuit against the RIAA comes out, I'll treat you to a movie." Fang Zhuo opened the window and looked up at the sky. Well, it was actually a first-quarter moon, not round at all.

"Others don't know, but I always know Mr. Fang's ability to draw cakes." Yu Hong said, "Go to rest early, I will work hard for Mr. Fang's cakes."

"This is called the duality of painting cakes. Some people paint well, and some people do well on this cake." Fang Zhuo said good night and hung up the phone.

However, after he put down the phone, he didn't fall asleep. Instead, he was inspired by the inexplicable resignation of an employee.

For Sina to be willing to accept a non-executive director, the director's reputation must be relatively high, which can affect a considerable number of shareholder votes.

In addition, if you successfully enter the board of directors, prestige is also an important factor in the battle for control.

Simply relying on an entrepreneurial program like CCTV Finance is not enough, and we have to start from other aspects.

Can litigation be used as a surprise?
Fang Zhuo lit a cigarette in the silent night, thinking deeply about the mystery of the duality of litigation.

　Ask for a guaranteed monthly pass.

　　If there is no accident tomorrow, it will be three o'clock.
