Reinventing the Millennium.

Chapter 595 Observation (two in one)

Fang Zhuo spared two days in the capital, one is to take the lead for BOE, and the other is to see if there is any progress in the interview between Dangdang and Tesco.

In this way, considering that the upcoming trip to the United States to watch Android is likely to be an investor, he upholds the spirit of learning to look at the daily work of Lao Xiong.

As a well-known venture capital, IDG has a small number of employees.

When Fang Zhuo walked into the headquarters office of IDG China accompanied by Xiong Xiaoge, he received a warm welcome.

"Mr. Fang, Mr. Fang is here!"

"Mr. Fang has come to IDG to guide the work!"

"Welcome President Fang!"

"Mr. Fang, we are greatly encouraged by the progress of the ice core!"

Following the greetings along the way, Fang Zhuo had the vague illusion of coming to his own company—of course not the feeling of Hang Lung 23, like, like a subsidiary company that has not been here for a long time, and the subsidiary company has recruited many newcomers. Employees, but new employees take it for granted that they know the boss.

With a warm smile on Fang Zhuo's face, he greeted and nodded, as if he was really here to guide.

After sitting in Lao Xiong's office, he couldn't help laughing and said, "You guys from IDG are very enthusiastic, I thought you would be calm and cold."

Xiong Xiaoge said subtly: "Of course you have to be enthusiastic. I heard that Pan Ben and the others have done a good job under your hands."

Pan Ben used to be the vice president of IDG, and was sent to Yike to investigate the situation two years earlier.

Then there is no more then.

If there is one, there are two. There are few people in IDG, and the whereabouts of the job-hopping can't be concealed at all.

Fang Zhuo nodded frequently, and praised: "Pan Ben is really good. Fortunately, he came out of IDG. He is now in charge of Yike's development in the European market. He is very motivated and capable."

Xiong Xiaoge looked coldly at this shameless president.

He said: "So, to a certain extent, I can understand Li Guoqing's feelings, and he can't blame him for the fact that he hates you."

"The problem of talent is a problem that has been bothering me for the past two years." Fang Zhuo sighed, "You can understand him, but can't you understand me?"

Xiong Xiaoge remained silent, not intending to continue this topic.

Fang Zhuo waved his hand: "Forget it, let's not talk about it, it's not easy for everyone."

Xiong Xiaoge wanted to call the security to invite this person out.

"Here's the tea, where's the project proposal? What about the industry research? What about your IDG's internal judgment? Hurry up, hurry up." Fang Zhuo sat on the sofa, crossed his legs, and urged his old friend.

Xiong Xiaoge pressed the internal number and called Wu Xingyi, the vice president, to come in and introduce the tracks and projects that IDG was looking for this time.

With regard to video websites, IDG’s judgment is that with the rapid development of the Internet, the market for the entertainment, film and television industry will become larger and larger, and as a derivative, video websites will meet a large demand, which will in turn act on film and television.

However, there is still some controversy within IDG about the time when this demand will fully explode. Some people think it will be three or four years, while others think it will be five or six years.

No matter what, IDG considers making a shot and giving it a try.

Wu Xingyi quoted the words from the internal discussion meeting - "Ice core has seen the light of day, so why don't video sites dare to vote?"

However, there were similar objections in the internal discussion—"Where do you go to find another President Fang?"

——"Why don't we call Mr. Fang to do this together?"

——"Mr. Fang is willing?"

Fang Zhuoyue heard more and more wrong, stopped and said: "Stop, stop, Mr. Wu, I made a mistake, and the topic was off topic. I want you to introduce the project situation. Don't repeat these side details."

Wu Xingyi scoffed.

Xiong Xiaoge on the boss chair said, "He's the one who suggested calling you to do this."

Fang Zhuo was stunned.

"Mr. Fang, what do you think of video sites?" Wu Xingyi asked hesitantly.

"It must be a waste of money, let's start in four or five years." Fang Zhuo did not hide his secrets.

Wu Xingyi nodded and said, "Then what does Yi Ke think? What does Sina think? What does Mr. Fang think?"

Fang Zhuo glanced at the vice president, then turned his head to look at the old bear, and said seriously: "According to my opinion, in fact, it is a waste of money anyway, and you all have to invest in IDG anyway, so instead of investing in video sites, you should continue Put your money on me."

He spoke faster: "Who is voted for? Who is burned? We are so familiar, and there have been successful cases before, right?"

Wu Xingyi fell into deep thought.

Xiong Xiaoge interrupted his subordinate's contemplation and refused, "Don't put all your eggs in one basket. We are in the investment business, not the semiconductor industry."

Fang Zhuo said regretfully to Wu Xingyi: "You still don't trust me enough, Mr. Xiong."

Xiong Xiaoge said: "Wu Xingyi, you go out first, as long as Mr. Fang and I are here for LeTV, it's just for listening anyway."

Wu Xingyi left the office.

At 45:15 in the morning, there are still [-] minutes before the appointment at ten o'clock.

IDG's arrangement in the morning is to leave one hour for LeTV, then one hour for Tudou, and then the lunch reception is with Tudou.

Compared with the LeTV project introduced by someone in the middle, Xiong Xiaoge is still more optimistic about Tudou, whose founder has a more beautiful resume.

"This LeTV was introduced by a friend. Recently, there are a lot of investment projects, some of which are not easy to promote." Xiong Xiaoge said to Fang Zhuo.

The implication is that this is a formality, but it can also understand the current views on the new track.

Fang Zhuo smiled and nodded.

Xiong Xiaoge added: "If it's really good, you can continue to chat, see people, and see their plans."

Fang Zhuo poured himself a cup of tea and looked through the materials of the two projects.

Speaking of LeTV...

This stall full of chicken feathers is really familiar.

Jia Yanxi, Jia Ecology, Jia Huiguo, Jia Yezi, and Jia Zaoche who are going to meet today are quite well-known, and his surname is called Huohuo, which has a kind of black humor.

Speaking of Lao Jia's history, he is quite famous as a real estate fellow from Jin Province, and as a fellow from Jin Province, he is low-key behind the scenes.

Liu Hong, the co-founder of LeEco, was a reporter. It was he who introduced the villagers in Jin Province, and then the project went up all the way.

In other words, it's a false uplink all the way.

LeEco's financial fraud has lasted an astonishing ten years.

LeEco would not have been able to go public without the three-year fraud before its listing.

If there is no fraud in the seven years since its listing, the story of LeTV will not go on.

As for why these ten years have been peaceful...

Some people think that Jia LeTV's final collapse was because he moved too fast. In fact, he had to be fast. If he didn't tell new stories quickly, the whole bubble would be easily burst.

There is really nothing new under the sun.

Fang Zhuo still remembers the absurdity of the Top Group. The two are actually similar, but the one under the Internet is more dazzling, with more changeable methods, and more people to support them.

There was a knock on the office door.

Vice President Wu Xingyi led the two founders of LeEco in.

Jia Yueting and Liu Hong.

This is the second time the two have come to IDG's office. The last time they came, Xiong Xiaoge was in Shencheng to discuss e-buy's financing, so Jia Yueting took a few seconds to confirm who was Mr. Xiong.

It's not hard to confirm that the older one behind the desk is Mr. Xiong.

Jia Yueting had just opened his mouth, still bubbling greetings, when his eyes suddenly turned uncontrollably to the young man sitting on the sofa.

This Fengshen and handsome man is...

Really are……

After Jia Yueting's habitual exchange of pleasantries, the co-founder Liu Hong next to him has already confirmed it.

"I didn't expect to see Mr. Fang here. Even if Mr. Xiong is not favored, it is worthwhile to get Mr. Fang's guidance." Liu Hong was a little surprised.

"Hello Mr. Liu, sit down, and Mr. Jia is also sitting." Fang Zhuo smiled and said, "I was called to study, so don't pay attention to me. Mr. Xiong is the one who can invest money."

Both Jia Yueting and Liu Hong took their seats.

The two looked at each other, and they didn't expect to see the president of Yike today.

Xiong Xiaoge can understand the halo of being the richest man in the mainland. After all, apart from the halo of this name, if someone is willing to inquire about Mr. Fang's deeds, it will be quite convincing.

He gave time for pleasantries and calm down.

Fang Zhuo exchanged business cards, refilled himself with tea, lit another cigarette, and silently watched IDG president's questions about the LeTV project.

The contact between VCs and the founding team is not complicated. For example, Xiong Xiaoge has already reviewed the materials of LeTV, researched the industry environment, and compared similar projects. Therefore, today he mainly looks at people.

He wants to see if the founding team is reliable, what kind of style and philosophy it is.

Although not all are the same, some founders stumble in their speeches and cannot describe the advantages and disadvantages of the project clearly. It is really difficult to arouse people's interest in investing.

But...if Mr. Fang is so fluent in the conversation and unparalleled in eloquence, he may also have a little doubt.

Regardless of LeTV or Tudou, IDG will not invest too much in this round of contacts. After all, video sites have no reference, there are many variables, and the risk is relatively high.

This is also the reason why Xiong Xiaoge called Mr. Fang, and wanted to give some advice from the president who is used to judging the frontier direction of the Internet.

The two founders of LeTV, Liu Hong, made more noises, and Jia Yueting added from the side.

Fang Zhuo thought about it while smoking, and felt that this old Jia was vaguely shy.

The communication between Xiong Xiaoge and Liu and Jia lasted for half an hour.

Finally, at the end of this round of conversation, Xiong Xiaoge asked: "Mr. Jia, Mr. Liu, do you have anything else to add?"

Jia Yueting thought for a while, opened the notebook, clicked on the PPT, and said: "Mr. Xiong, Mr. Fang, I, I'm a little excited, I want to read the PPT again."

Xiong Xiaoge gave a "huh" and nodded in agreement.

Fang Zhuo still didn't respond.

Unexpectedly, Jia Yueting, who was originally shy, looked at the PPT, and his energy rose.

He mentioned the development of video, mentioned the importance of copyright that is neglected today, and compared the "combination of the Internet and music" that the richest man once said, saying that this is another spread of the tentacles of the Internet, and that the combination of the Internet and video will explode exert great power.

Liu Hong, the co-founder, was a little excited when he was told.

Xiong Xiaoge blinked, not much infected, and felt that it was okay.

He has seen larger and clearer PPTs, and he has heard more bewitching and powerful speeches.

Jia Yueting's face was a little dark and red when he said it, but when he finished, he was a little disappointed to find that Mr. Xiong and Mr. Fang were indifferent.

"Mr. Fang, I've been watching and listening for a long time. Do you have any suggestions for us to learn?" Xiong Xiaoge looked at Mr. Fang and said, "You also came from entrepreneurship, so you can give me some advice."

All three looked over.

Fang Zhuo stubbed out the cigarette, thought for a while, and commented: "The PPT is well done."

Jia Yueting: "..."

Liu Hong: "..."

Xiong Xiaoge said dissatisfied: "What else?"

Fang Zhuo thought about it again: "It's a good dream, Mr. Jia, but this is not an easy task. Are you mentally prepared to continue this project?"

Jia Yueting said firmly: "President Fang, even if I am suffocated by my dreams, I will persevere."

Fang Zhuo nodded, Oh, it's me.

He said succinctly: "The project has prospects, and the industry needs to be developed."

Then he was silent.

Xiong Xiaoge was a little surprised, this is not Mr. Fang's style, why don't you come to analyze or communicate with such a thing?

He was surprised and guessed that this was because he was not optimistic.

Xiong Xiaoge pondered for a moment, asked a few procedural questions, and ended the meeting at 45:[-].

Both Jia Yueting and Liu Hong stood up. At this moment, the former suddenly looked at Fang Zhuo and made a request: "Mr. Fang, can I take a photo with you? I admire Yi Ke and Mr. Fang very much."

Fang Zhuo laughed and agreed.

After the photo was taken, the two founders left IDG.

When there were only two people left in the office again, Xiong Xiaoge asked in bewilderment: "Mr. Fang, are you optimistic or not? Why are you so perfunctory today?"

"I just came to see how your venture capital works today." Fang Zhuo spread his hands innocently.

"Then give me some advice!" Xiong Xiaoge was displeased.

"If you have to give me an opinion, then don't vote for LeTV." Fang Zhuo shrugged.

Xiong Xiaoge asked, "Why?"

"I don't think his PPT is good enough, and he is very jerky when he talks about dreams." Fang Zhuo looked serious.

Xiong Xiaoge felt that Boss Fang didn't intend to give real ideas at all, and said angrily: "As long as you do a good job in PPT, you are the most fulfilling dream!"

Fang Zhuo said modestly: "There are talented people from generation to generation, each leading the way for hundreds of years."

Xiong Xiaoge thinks Mr. Fang is a bit weird today, and seems to mean something, but he doesn't know what he is referring to.

"There is also Tudou.com. I sincerely suggest that he change his name."

Fang Zhuo said casually: "Couch Potato is said to be the kind of person who watches TV on the sofa, which has a unique meaning. The name doesn't really matter. Look at the idea, look at the team, and look at the execution."

"Didn't you say that the founder of this company has a very good resume, since that's the case, I'm afraid it won't be too difficult for him to find money."

"Several video sites will definitely pop up, as long as you can bear your temper."

Xiong Xiaoge said in astonishment, "You want to talk again now?"

"I said I'm here to study today. In a few days, I have to go to the United States to see a company. Google has already talked with that company." Fang Zhuo shook his head and said, "If you are interested, I will discuss this matter with you." It’s only interesting if I can show you around, it’s much more interesting than any video website.”

Xiong Xiaoge thought for a few seconds, then frowned and said, "IDG America is in charge over there."

"If we can negotiate, I can cover you up," Fang Zhuo said.

Xiong Xiaoge said decisively: "Okay."

Fang Zhuo was surprised: "Why are you so decisive?"

"I don't know why, but I vaguely saw you pulling out the PPT." Xiong Xiaoge frowned, "It's just a feeling for no reason."

Fang Zhuo rubbed his chin, well, there is no sword in his hand, but a sword in his heart.
