Reinventing the Millennium.

Chapter 304 Breaking the game (two in one)

The words and gestures of the parties involved in the Sina control dispute can convince many people.

But for Li Tong, who was also from Tsinghua University and had contact with Duan Yongji, he was not satisfied with Fang Zhuo's answer.

Duan Yongji, who was discharged from the hospital on the 30th of last month, immediately held a press conference. Now only 3 days later, Fang Zhuo came to CCTV to record the program as if nothing happened!

After the applause ended, Li Tong ignored the director's instructions and forcefully continued to ask: "Mr. Fang, what do you think of Mr. Duan's accusation at the press conference? You didn't even condolences to his illness!"

Many times, people always have too many requirements on the target under the camera, whether it is the so-called business ethics or personal morality.

Fang Zhuo was a little surprised to hear this kind of question, but he didn't panic, and replied: "It may be a bit overwhelming to talk about this here, but since you, I actually think it's a bit strange that you use the word 'accusation' to describe Duan. "

"About his health, you may not believe it. After hearing the news that he was hospitalized, I immediately considered going to the hospital to see him, but I can think twice..."

"I think my presence in front of him at a time like this, and even sending him text messages of sympathy, may have made his mental state worse."

Li Tong was shocked. He really didn't expect to answer from this angle. I don't know if Mr. Fang has a good heart, but this mouth is really good at speaking!
Fang Zhuo finally said: "Later, I learned about Mr. Duan's physical condition from other people. He was fine, so I was relieved. After all, shopping malls are like battlefields, but they are not real battlefields."

Shopping malls are like battlefields, and what needs to be destroyed is business life, not physical destruction.

After the president of Yike Investment said this, he turned his head and looked at the director, feeling that too much time had been taken up by irrelevant topics.

The director understood, walked to the stage, and prepared to communicate with the contestants at close range.

Seeing this scene, Li Tong crumpled up too many things he wanted to ask or question, and finally burst out the deep curiosity of a bystander: "Mr. Fang, Mr. Fang, what do you think of Mr. Duan?"

Fang Zhuo felt that this contestant had done a wrong entrepreneurial project, maybe he should teach him to do Zhihu?

Such an incubation may have some hope of success.

The director stepped onto the stage, but the camera was still on Fang Zhuo's side.

Fang Zhuo pondered and decided not to answer.

Xiong Xiaoge next to him watched the excitement, and encouraged him in a low voice, "It's okay, just tell me, Mr. Duan can hold on."

The old bear is so weak!
Fang Zhuo was almost amused, so he managed his expression a bit, and he still answered: "It's not appropriate for me to comment on Mr. Duan. It's too easy to have the arrogance of a successful person."

It's already very arrogant to claim to be a successful person.

He paused, and continued: "President Duan has been very successful, but I don't think he is a person who uses the Internet to practice his business ideals."

Li Tong was excited, his microphone had been turned off, and he still asked loudly: "Then are you? Mr. Fang, how do you evaluate yourself? You said that you are confident in making Sina profitable. What if you can't do it? "

There was some commotion at the recording site.

Fang Zhuo sighed, put down the microphone, and answered the following questions: "If I can't do it, then I can only go back and continue to host my small company with 2 million US dollars."

Li Tong's excited expression stopped abruptly.

In the past two days, news reports have often mentioned the value comparison between Fang Zhuo's company and Sina...

There was laughter at the scene.

Li Tong's heart suddenly calmed down, and he began to worry that his performance just now might affect his project.

The atmosphere at the scene became relaxed, but it obviously took some time to calm down that this was not suitable for broadcasting.

Xiong Xiaoge laughed along with the audience for Fang Zhuo's last answer.

He smiled and asked, "Mr. Fang, you haven't answered Li Tong's question. You have evaluated Duan Yongji, so how do you evaluate yourself?"

Fang Zhuo said solemnly: "Fang Zhuo is a person who wants everyone to be well."

Xiong Xiaoge laughed.

There were some minor problems in the recording of the finals of the second season of CCTV Finance's "Win in China", which caused the end time to be slightly overdue, but it was finally over anyway.

The program group invited the judges, guests, and contestants to a banquet together for a breakup meal.

Considering his current reputation, Fang Zhuo declined the invitation, and asked Xiong Xiaoge to find a Huaiyang cuisine restaurant in the capital.

"Fang Zhuo, you really made Sina more than half of it, what are you going to do next?" Xiong Xiaoge asked curiously during the dinner.

"It's not the majority, it's over, Duan Yongji is out." Fang Zhuo said firmly.

Xiong Xiaoge wondered: "Sina is in such a mess right now, people are in panic, many people are waiting for Duan Yongji to return in two months, the advantage you have now is limited, right?"

Fang Zhuo shrugged and didn't answer.

Xiong Xiaoge asked again: "What about the Sina hotline you are in charge of?"

Fang Zhuo is interested in talking about this: "It is specialized in wireless value-added services and docking with operators. I strongly suggested that Sina increase the proportion at the board meeting, and they were persuaded."

"Is it that easy to be persuaded?" Xiong Xiaoge was surprised.

"It's okay, Mr. Sina's president thinks that such a new business is the same to anyone, and I'm an outsider and I'm facing a faction situation, which is quite divided." Fang Zhuo said with a smile, "When I can't find anything, Naturally, when it's time to leave, I have to be a major shareholder with peace of mind."

Xiong Xiaoge nodded: "You can see clearly, so, what is Vice President Fang's plan?"

Fang Zhuo took a sip of the soup: "Complicated things are simplified."

Xiong Xiaoge heard that Fang Zhuo didn't want to say more, and thought for a while: "I can't tell now whether I should look forward to your work in Sina. If I can be a shareholder with peace of mind earlier, will Yike be better? "

"I am learning from Mr. Duan Yongji. He is the head of three families, and I am only two." Fang Zhuo said with a smile, "Young people have to learn from their predecessors."

"Come on, if you continue to learn like this, your notoriety will spread abroad." Xiong Xiaoge complained.

Compared with this person, Xiong Xiaoge can see a wider range of word-of-mouth and opinions from the sidelines.

The battle for control of Sina frequently featured the word "hostile takeover", the toughness and arbitrariness at the EGM, Duan Yongji, 60, who couldn't bear the blow, was hospitalized and released a press conference, although Fang Zhuoyou gave a response through the CCTV channel, But his notoriety is the main theme.

"Time will change everything." Fang Zhuo didn't care much about this, and added, "It won't be too long."

The chat between the two on Sina did not continue.

Although Xiong Xiaoge was quite interested in the Sina incident, he wanted to know more about Yike's situation.

Now with Fang Zhuo taking up the position of Sina, Yi Ke's energy allocation is a test.

In addition, the Apple acquisition negotiations on the other side of the ocean have lasted for more than a month, and the investors of Yike are a little uneasy. The price of Apple is a good exit price for venture capital, but what they want is more.

Fang Zhuo once again promised that he would never sell Yike, and also said that he would end the acquisition negotiations with Apple.

To be honest, this time Apple's acquisition negotiations really helped Fang Zhuo a lot. He is grateful for this, and he is already ashamed to drag him down again and again.

On the morning of July 7, the new vice president of Sina arrived at Sina headquarters for the third time after taking office.

He met the complicated eyes of Sina employees all the way, and knocked on the door of Sina CEO Wang Yan.

"Mr. Wang, morning."

Fang Zhuo greeted and poured two cups of tea.

Obviously, Wang Yan had just arrived, and he didn't even make tea.

"Mr. Fang." Wang Yan said with a blank expression, "Is there something wrong? I have a full schedule today and I am very busy."

Fang Zhuo smiled: "When I passed by the front desk, I asked them to put your matter back and deal with ours first."

Wang Yan dissatisfied and frowned: "I don't think there is anything to discuss between such an outstanding, capable, and resourceful Sina vice president and me."

"I'll take it as if you really praised me." Fang Zhuo blew on his tea and said, "First of all, I still have to apologize to Mr. Wang. Some business methods may have overdrawn our mutual trust."

Wang Yan laughed angrily. Is this Fang Zhuo's speech really artful and overdrawn the trust between each other?
He emphasized his tone and said sarcastically, "Mr. Fang, you have successfully chased away Mr. Duan. Are you trying to subdue his subordinates now?"

"That's how it is." Fang Zhuo took his time, "I have always agreed with Mr. Wang's thoughts on Sina, just like this wireless value-added service, you are also optimistic."

"I went to CCTV yesterday, and someone asked me how I would evaluate Mr. Duan. I said that he is not using the Internet to practice his business ideals."

"Duan always thinks that the Internet can be successful if it can make money and go public, so he came to engage in the Internet."

"Mr. Wang, you are different. In my opinion, you have the ideal and enthusiasm to change society with the Internet."

Fang Zhuo pointed to the sofa with his finger: "So, I'm here today."

With a scholarly family, a study tour in Paris, and the Internet, how could such a Wang Yan be even a little tempted?

He touched his nose and said with a smile, "Boss Fang, you don't think you can convince me with this, do you?"

"Are you in a bad situation now?" Fang Zhuo asked calmly.

Wang Yan let out a "huh" and didn't bother to answer.

He was already considered to belong to Duan Yongji's family, and he was already decentralized at work. Last time, the board of directors voted for Duan Yongji. The situation of Sina CEO is not as good as one crab.

However, Wang Yan and Duan Yongji were not as close as the outside world imagined.

In particular, on the eve of the "coup", it was Wang Yan who delivered the news of Fang Zhuo's "change in the position of a director". Now the relationship is even more delicate.

Not a ghost,

Better than a ghost!

Wang Yan was very aggrieved by this.

"Mr. Wang, do you know how I communicated with Wang Zhidong?" Fang Zhuo suddenly talked about the expelled founder of Sina.

Wang Yan was really curious about this matter. Wang Zhidong's appearance at the extraordinary shareholders' meeting made many middle and high-level managers of Sina feel uncomfortable, and immediately remembered the incident in June last year.

Speaking of which, the reactions of the losers are similar. After Wang Zhidong was kicked out of Sina, he also held a press conference, but it didn't have much effect.

Wang Yan picked up his teacup and waited for the next sentence.

But Fang Zhuo was stunned and stopped talking.

For a while, the only sound in the Sina CEO's office was the sound of drinking tea and putting down the teacup.

Wang Yan is a person who pays attention to demeanor. After drinking half a cup of tea, he asked nonchalantly, "Did Wang Zhidong contact Jiang Fengnian when the board of directors voted that day?"

Fang Zhuo seemed to suddenly recall the topic just now, and continued without answering: "After a year, Wang Zhidong has already given up on returning to Sina and started a second job. He and I have never met before, and there is no middleman. When I found him, he actually didn't want to talk to me."

Wang Yan felt that this was the real situation and was aroused curiosity.

Fang Zhuo didn't play tricks this time: "I chatted with him about my views on Sina's prospects, and that's about wireless."

"He agreed?" Wang Yan guessed.

"No, he disagrees with me." Fang Zhuo laughed.

Wang Yan wondered: "Then how did you convince me?"

"I told him that Sina is the first domestic portal website to go public in the United States, and it is destined to be a special book in the history of the development of the Internet." Fang Zhuo said with emotion, "But when it comes to Sina, it is destined to talk about its founding. Man, what do people think of this founder?"

"Sina, Wang Zhidong, kicked out."

"The public is used to stamping a person with the ending. It is almost certain that Wang Zhidong, the founder of Sina, will be mentioned his sad ending from time to time."

Fang Zhuo looked at Wang Yan: "Mr. Wang, do you think this will be the case?"

The participant Wang Yan also felt emotional in his heart, nodded, and did not deny: "It is very likely."

He asked: "So, you bewitched Wang Zhidong to return to Sina as a condition, and now you broke the appointment?"

Fang Zhuo was not annoyed by the ambiguity in his words: "No, it is impossible for me to spend so much effort to get Wang Zhidong back. I just said that his appearance can add a little color to his future ending in the history of Internet development. .”

"Look, look at this Wang Zhidong, he was kicked out but took revenge after a year."

Fang Zhuo put away his exaggerated tone, and said with a smile, "It's better than others pity him, the expelled founder, right?"

Wang Yan sighed, and had already heard the intention of Mr. Fang to persuade him.

"Mr. Wang, how will future generations evaluate you?" Fang Zhuo smiled slightly, "An ordinary Sina CEO with no ambitions?"

He looked at Wang Yan, the young Sina CEO, and said the second choice in a non-excited tone: "Or is it a business strongman who solves Sina's profit dilemma and leads Sina to create brilliance?"

Wang Yan found that the feeling of guessing and hearing such words was completely different.

bell bell bell.

The intercom phone on the desk rang.

Wang Yan silently picked up the phone and heard the voice from the front desk.

"Mr. Wang, the customer who made an appointment at [-]:[-] has arrived. Should he come to your office or the conference room?"

Wang Yan was taken aback, and looked at Fang Zhuo: "Didn't you say that the front desk was delayed?"

"Oh, I lied to you." Fang Zhuo smiled slightly, "I think the time before not hindering your normal work is enough for us to reach an agreement."

Wang Yan took a deep look at the vice president of Sina, and said to the phone: "The conference room."

Hang up the phone.

Wang Yan let out a sigh of relief: "I think the trust between a team should start with writing off the lies."

"Okay, I never lie to my own people." Fang Zhuo got up.

"What do I need to do now?" Wang Yan also got up, and he was going to the conference room.

"Give me a list, the list that we can't use in our Sina hotline, I'll ask them to move it." Fang Zhuo waited for two seconds, then reached out his hand, "Mr. Wang, is there a problem?"

Wang Yan shook hands without hesitation: "No problem, Mr. Fang."

Sina's 29-year-old CEO and 25-year-old vice president reached an agreement.
