Reinventing the Millennium.

Chapter 656 Clarification (two in one)

Face-to-face communication is more real than text and phone calls.

E-buy has a relatively complicated competitive situation. As a company that plays the banner of e-commerce B2C, the entire chain home appliance industry is wary of this. "Internet" and "entity" seem to draw a clear line.

Moreover, there is a well-known richest man in the mainland standing behind Tesco, which makes people even more vigilant.

Gome is the number one in this industry in the country, so this kind of vigilance is the most obvious.

Just like the outside world's evaluation of Huang Guangyu, the head of Gome, as "dominant" and "strong", everyone's evaluation of Fang Zhuo, the head of Yike, is even worse.

The most widely circulated story of Fang Zhuo is the change of ownership of the country’s number one portal website, Sina. That hostile takeover and the intentional and unintentional cracking of the “Poison Pill Project” have been written into textbooks by some colleges and universities as business cases.

The "poison pill plan" is a classic defensive method that hostile takeovers of listed companies often have to face. A professor at Peking University explained the Sina acquisition at the Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business. His evaluation was widely circulated.

——"Any tactics are executed by humans, as long as they are humans, there are flaws."

——"Boss Fang of Yike is not only good at finding loopholes, but also extremely patiently creating loopholes. He used the SEC rules to lock Duan Yongji's stock operation space, and then suddenly launched an attack, combined vertically and horizontally, and defeated Sina. "

——"Everyone here has a successful career and is a business talent and genius, but if one day in the future, if you meet Mr. Yikefang, you must be cautious. If you really can't, you can just invest directly."

——"After all, Mr. Fang belongs to the top group, and it's no shame to lose to him."

A Defense Against the Dark Arts class, ah no, it was nicknamed "Mr. Fang's Defense Class", and it was just a small part of Mr. Fang's reputation.

People's word of mouth is always accumulated by various factors.

The hostile takeover of Sina attracted special attention because of the media role of the website itself. However, things such as the cunning venture capital hunter, the expelled Changshang professor, the changes in Sichuan and Sichuan Changhong, and the Li family's admission to see my face are also different. The influence was brewed in the circle of people, and eventually it became a more general perception.

Yi Ke's Fang Zhuo is a domineering, powerful, hard-handed, and deep-backed character.

In particular, this friend doesn't know how many, but the opponent seems to have entered several.

Under such circumstances, Huang Guangyu, who ranked second in wealth in the mainland last year, led Gome to the top of the industry, and met Mr. Fang, who was in the business of competing products... Everyone didn't know who would win, but they only knew that according to the rumors, the two I'm afraid there will be sparks out of my personality.

Fang Zhuo is not clear about the outside world's predictions or expectations for him for the time being, but after communicating with the president of Tesco, he decided to recruit suppliers, and Zhang Xuebin of Meiling was the first to bear the brunt.

In addition to studying the situation report these days, it is not that he has not considered the strategy of competition.

Although Gome is number one in the industry and has influenced the prices of many suppliers with its powerful channels, it does not have everything in its hands.

Like Gree, it had a stalemate with Gome last year, and the latter also made a decision to remove Gree's air-conditioning inventory from the shelves, and the two companies have continued to feud to this day.

Coupled with some personal relationships, Fang Zhuo thinks that it is not impossible to find friends for Tesco.

However, considering that Gome is indeed in full swing, Fang Zhuo made a new decision after discussing the company's development with Su Wei in more detail.

"Although Gome is number one, Suning is also chasing after it."

"Why did he, Huang Guangyu, force us so hard on e-buy?"

"After a few days to tidy up the interior, I will ask him to meet and chat."

Fang Zhuo plans to meet the head of Gome.

Although there is competition in business, Gome is so big, there is no need to be so penny-pinching on product prices. If you have the time to continue to work on Suning, Five Star, and Paradise, it will take some time for e-buy to grow.

Su Wei heard Mr. Fang's decision, and said: "I heard that Huang Guangyu is quite powerful."

"There is no one who is strong. Others still think I am strong." Fang Zhuo smiled, "The world is not about fighting and killing, it is about people's sophistication. With the size of our e-buy, everyone can meet each other, drink a glass of wine, and make money with harmony. .”

Su Wei pondered, this is of course the best result.

but……

She saw that Boss Fang had closed the documents and put them on the table.

This also means that the work inspection is over, and the man in front of him has changed from "Mr. Fang" to "Fang Zhuo".

Su Wei and Fang Zhuo have an agreement of "public is public, private is private".

She also gently put down the document in her hand, stared sideways at Fang Zhuo, and said calmly: "A few days ago, Dahong called me twice, do you have anything to say?"

Fang Zhuo, who was just about to speak, froze slightly, and his thoughts moved slightly.

He hesitated for a few seconds, then looked at Su Wei who was waiting for his answer, planning to chat about life.

However, just when Fang Zhuo was about to open his mouth, Su Wei stretched out her index finger and stamped on his lips, preventing him from speaking, her eyes filled with water.

"It's easy for men to tell lies at this time." Su Wei still stared at Fang Zhuo, "She didn't say anything on the phone, but, I can hear that she is hesitating to speak."

"I don't know if what you're telling is a lie or the truth."

She paused, eyes drooping slightly, and continued: "I don't want to hear lies, but I'm afraid that the truth will hurt more than lies, so you'd better not say anything."

Su Wei threw out a fact, and stopped Fang Zhuo from speaking when this fact shocked Fang Zhuo.

Fang Zhuo pursed his lips, not knowing what to say.

He pondered over and over again, reached out to hold Weiwei's hand imprinted on his lips, and said, "Xiao Yu has an extra title of 'co-founder', and she and I... maintain a tacit understanding from a business perspective."

After hearing this, Su Wei stroked her hair, and said softly: "I could tell that she was hesitant to speak, but I didn't ask her because I believed her."

She looked at Fang Zhuo with a leisurely tone: "Sometimes, I can't help but think about one thing, if you were not in Shanghai at that time, but in New York, or, if I was not by your side at that time, it would be Dahong Here, what will happen now."

Fang Zhuo didn't think much this time: "I've never liked hypotheses, and I don't think hypotheses are meaningful."

Su Wei made this topic stop here: "I know, but she is different to me, but..."

She held Fang Zhuo's hand backhand, and said firmly, "From today onwards, I will not assume this matter anymore."

Fang Zhuo nodded silently. He looked at Wei Wei, who was as gentle as water, and suddenly said something in his heart.

Su Wei stared at the nodding of the man in front of her, and suddenly let go of the hand she was holding, her face sank, and her tone became serious: "Okay, Fang Zhuo, I have something to ask you."

Fang Zhuo was stunned: "Huh? You ask."

What else could be more worthy of a serious face than Xiao Yu?
"What happened to Li Fuzhen from Samsung?" Su Wei frowned.

"What's going on?" Fang Zhuo felt wronged when he heard the meaning of the question.

"She still claims to be the eldest princess of Samsung, right?" Su Wei clenched her fist and thumped Fang Zhuo's arm. "She came to visit Hang Lung 23 when you were not in Shanghai. What does she want? What does she mean? She and What's your relationship?"

Fang Zhuo: "..."

He quickly replied: "Her hotel is going to come to Shanghai, and I helped win the preferential policies from Shanghai. I plan to let the hotel enter the commercial project developed by Yongke, that's all."

Su Wei raised her chin: "Really?"

"It's more real than real gold." Fang Zhuo added, "It's more wronged than Dou E."

Su Wei kept the needle hidden: "Oh, this meeting will finally be able to call for injustice, right?"

Fang Zhuo: "..."

"Men really don't have good things." Su Wei got up, and folded the documents in front of Fang Zhuo's documents, "This is the end of the face-to-face communication. The meeting the day after tomorrow, I want to see how you communicate with Zhang Dazhong."

Fang Zhuo experienced Weiwei's handling of raising it high and putting it down gently. He coughed and said, "I told my mother to work overtime today."

"What kind of overtime work? I just got off the plane today." Su Wei complained.

Fang Zhuo opened the file, pointed to the data on the third page, and said, "I think there is still a lot of information worth exploring about the financial data comparison between Gome and Suning. Help me out and say I'm ready to work overtime."

Su Wei disagreed.

Fang Zhuo has already dialed the phone.

Soon, the phone was connected.

"Mom, I'm not going back. I have work to do today." Fang Zhuo spoke.

Zhao Shumei dragged out a long syllable: "Huh?"

Fang Zhuo touched Weiwei.

Su Wei had no doubt about him, and said helplessly, "Auntie, the company has some analysis on the competition."

Zhao Shumei's voice suddenly became enthusiastic: "That's it, um, that's it, okay, okay, Xiao Su, come to the tea room for tea when you have time."

Su Wei came down and chatted a few more words about cosmetics and clothes.

After hanging up the phone, she asked with some doubts: "Why do you feel that Auntie is weird?"

"What's wrong? I didn't feel it." Fang Zhuo replied.

Su Wei thought for two seconds: "It's because of enthusiasm."

Fang Zhuo smiled and said, "My mother is like this, she's a nice person."

Su Wei gave up pondering, and put on a straight face: "Don't be so hippie, you're going to sleep in the guest room today!"

Fang Zhuo raised his head: "Where do you want to go? I really want to talk to you about work. As far as Gome's revenue is concerned, it pays a lot of attention."

Su Wei glared at the man in front of her. Even if she stayed, she would only talk about work tonight and nothing else.

The moon and stars are sparse, and the work tonight is indeed quite busy.

……

Perhaps due to jet lag, Fang Zhuo replied that he was quite tired when he inspected the company the next day.

However, E-buy has already understood the basic situation. What he has to do today is to communicate face-to-face with the heads of different businesses one by one, and listen to the problems they have faced and the progress they have made during this period of time. He will not be too busy.

In addition, Fang Zhuo also took time to review the report from Yi Ke.

Yike's domestic player market is completely incomparable with foreign countries, but the new Mp4 product series still has some room, so the company's functional positioning transformation is advancing without haste.

Thanks to the profits in the early domestic market and the excellent performance of foreign software and hardware integration, Yike has a lot of funds on its books. According to Fang Zhuo's idea, it can just settle down to build a technology research and development system.

Just like what he said with Luo Jianhua, President of Infineon Asia Pacific in New York, Yike really needs to learn their scientific research strategy of cooperating with universities, which is also what Bingxin should do.

Domestic scientific research talents can only be obtained and cultivated from this area, and it will take time to bear fruit.

After two days like this, Fang Zhuo finally held an e-buy executive meeting on the third day after returning to China. Whether it was Zhang Dazhong, who was still working in the capital after being acquired, or Zhang Xuebin, who was only a cooperative supplier of e-buy, Everyone came to Hang Lung to participate.

However, this meeting was indeed only for one supplier, and Zhang Xuebin, who had a particularly strong sense of presence, naturally accepted the baptism of eyes from Tesco.

At 09:30 in the morning, the meeting was held on time.

Fang Zhuo did not allow others to speak, and first announced the news of a strategic cooperation: "Mr. Zhang personally came to Shanghai to express his sincerity and determination to cooperate with e-buy. Meiling will be our strategic partner of e-buy, not counting Gome Whatever decision is made there, Meiling will stand with us."

As soon as I came up, I didn't mean anything, I just clicked on the name of "Gome", and expressed my attitude firmly.

As for what will happen to Meiling, whether it will be removed from Gome like Gree, it depends on the follow-up development. According to Fang Zhuo, it is of course good to keep the channels. If there is a really tough conflict, we must stand together.

Zhang Xuebin arrived in Shanghai yesterday and had a discussion with Mr. Fang in the evening.

Then, he didn't sleep much that night.

It can be easily said that things are not so easy to handle. Besides, the development of Meiling's business may also be related to the succession of Changhong's position. However, without the support of President Fang, it may not be possible to get the position that President Ni has retired. Changhong's overseas channels are still tied to Yike.

Although most of the products and funds that Changhong cooperated with APEX at the beginning have been digested, it can still have a certain effect on Changhong.

Zhang Xuebin didn't have much room for choice in this regard, and finally agreed with Mr. Fang's request, and regarded the relationship between the two parties as a strategic cooperation.

There was applause in the meeting room.

This is e-buy's courtesy to suppliers.

Fang Zhuo waited until the applause subsided, and continued to talk about the second thing, still did not go around the corner, and did not take into account that Zhang Dazhong was sitting in the conference room: "E-commerce is the trend of the development of the times, and it has an unparalleled prospect. , even if it can’t be compared with our offline channel Dazhong Electric, we still have to be aware of one thing.”

"We must focus on online, and use offline as a powerful supplement to online."

"Instead of confusing the initiative with momentary strength."

Fang Zhuo didn't ask any questions, but spoke in a straightforward manner.

Today, not only Zhang Dazhong, but also several regional managers from Dazhong Electric.

Fang Zhuo only had a brief communication with Zhang Dazhong in advance. At this moment, the managers of Dazhong Electrical Appliances looked at each other in dismay when they heard this. From their point of view, resources should of course be inclined to the stronger side. At least, it is also online and online. Almost equal offline.

However, Zhang Dazhong was as immobile as a mountain, so they could only listen silently.

Fang Zhuo glanced around and asked, "Are there any disagreements?"

No one spoke.

"Is there any disagreement?"

Still no one said anything.

"Is there any disagreement?"

After Fang Zhuo asked the last time, he said seriously: "Very well, since there is no disagreement, or if you are willing to keep your opinion in your stomach first, then implement it well."

"If you can't implement it, you can find me and Mr. Zhang after the meeting."

"All provinces and regions have a clear attitude and put e-buy first."

"As for the specific implementation, everyone in the offline channel will hold a meeting in the afternoon."

Fang Zhuo tapped the table with his fingers, and he couldn't help clarifying the priority.

This is difficult for Su Wei to do, but he can easily make a decision.
