Reinventing the Millennium.

Chapter 960 Doomsday

Mr. Fang's determination in cloud computing is surprising.

20 billion a year, this kind of investment is simply... comparable to Mr. Fang's love for Bingxin!
There was a complicated silence in the conference center.

President Fang's prestige is self-evident. If he wants to invest 20 billion, it must be 20 billion.

What's more, there is a statement from the well-known investor Xiong Xiaoge next to him.

Then... everyone will execute it.

However, prestige is of course prestige, there is nothing to say about Mr. Fang's decision to show his strength, because he is afraid that there are bad people around Mr. Fang.

The line of sight that originally focused on Wang Jian also became stronger with the increase in investment.

Wang Jian on the stage is like a thorn on his back, while Fang Zhuo off the stage is as sweet as a sugarcane.

"Doctor Wang, continue."

Fang Zhuo signaled Wang Jian to continue talking about his cloud computing and department building.

Wang Jian took a deep breath and continued to explain the prospect of cloud computing to everyone according to the established plan.

Just last year, the field of cloud computing has gathered three giants, Amazon, Google, and Microsoft have all come to an end.

Amazon is the fastest. It tried to commercialize cloud computing as early as 06. Google adjusted its business priorities in April last year and released its own cloud service GAE, which allows developers to develop web services through a proprietary web framework. Applied and deployed on top of Google's infrastructure.

As for Microsoft, it has released a cloud computing platform, trying to host and online technologies and services.

"So, we should have active research and exploration in this field. E-buy is like Amazon, which can use the advantages of two-sided markets to develop cloud computing."

Wang Jian's last words were sonorous.

However, there were very few people responding, and it took a few seconds for the applause to erupt.

On the night of the annual meeting, the comparison between the previous figures and the applause of this one sounded a bit embarrassing.

Wang Jian stepped off the stage silently.

Fang Zhuo's position is not too far from him, but there is no extra communication at this time. Scientific research is just to be a cold bench, and it is enough to resist pressure and resist.

After the confusing cloud computing, Su Wei from e-buy, Wang Yan from Sina, Zhou Xin from medical department, and Qiu Ciyun from Bingxin all took the stage to deliver the reports of the annual meeting.

The applause at the scene became warm again. E-buy has been developing very well. It also acquired Dangdang a while ago. Sina’s sponsorship of the Olympic Games last year was very successful. Medicine is an old brand, and it has gradually developed more businesses in the medical field, not to mention ice core. said.

After these four reports came the employee delegation. Although the procedure was a bit old-fashioned, the on-site effect was not bad.

Overall, apart from cloud computing being confusing, the most outstanding results are the achievements of Yike and Tesco.

Yike's latest Mars2 has sold 1112 million units worldwide, and it is already one of the few mobile phone manufacturers in the world.

Last year, e-buy relied on subsidies for home appliances going to the countryside and promotion of Olympic sponsorship on Double Eleven, successfully narrowing the distance with Taobao’s big promotion results, and getting a revenue of 49.8 billion.

Originally, Taobao’s 85.4 was nearly double that of Tesco’s Double Eleven, this time it was 49.8 billion compared to [-] billion.

It is said that when e-buy announced this result, Taobao held meetings for several days in a row, discussing how to deal with opponents on the B2C track, and Ma Dian's words spread, making the industry pay more attention to the two track kings. real showdown.

"Unexpectedly, neither eBay nor Paipai, e-buy is our real opponent."

However, the cognition of this "real opponent" seems to be a little late. E-buy has successfully acquired Dangdang, effectively supplementing the territory of logistics and warehousing.

Two hours passed in a flash.

When Fang Zhuo came on stage again, he didn't talk about hardships and progress. He just wished all employees and friends a happy new year in advance, and invited everyone to move upstairs to enjoy a big meal.

Fang Zhuo, who walked off the stage amidst cheers and applause, inevitably had to greet the friends present. He also specially pulled Kong Yu, a well-known fund manager who was sitting at the back, to the front and gave him full respect.

Kong Yu's attendance today was very low-key, but his bald head was still somewhat conspicuous.

Fang Zhuo thought that the Gasoline Man was just here to join in the fun. Unexpectedly, he delivered a piece of news from the United States. The new financial steward Geithner said through an intermediary that the disposal of toxic assets has been put on the agenda, and President Fang still needs to personally preside over part of it. Work.

"He's engaged in toxic assets over there, and I'll show up and get involved again, okay?" Fang Zhuo suspected that Geithner wanted to tarnish his reputation.

"I don't think the meaning there is to show your face. I'm afraid it's more reassuring to talk face to face." Kong Yu said his own speculation.

Fang Zhuo changed his mind. The disposal of this toxic asset doesn't even show up to the MIGA fund. It's fine to deal with it with a vest inside.

He thought for a moment, then suddenly said: "In a few hours, Xiao Ao will be sworn in, right?"

Kong Yu nodded. It was 20:12 noon on the 21th over there, and 1:5 am on the [-]st here. It was less than [-] hours before MIGA fund clients and Yike company stakeholders officially took over.

He also said: "Mr. Fang, I have some new ideas about the fund, and I have heard some new trends. The media and public opinion will probably test the market's confidence in us first."

Fang Zhuo patted Kong Yu's shoulder: "Okay, let's talk about this tomorrow, drink first tonight."

Kong Yu didn't want to make a formal report on this occasion, but just asked for a later time with President Fang.

After Fang Zhuo and Kong Yu finished chatting, he greeted his friends to go upstairs, took a look around, and also greeted Liu Yiyi, the independent and independent Yongke Real Estate.

"Let's go, Mr. Liu, go upstairs, and you won't come back if you don't get drunk at night."

Liu Suyi didn't get the chance to take the stage, so he had a clearer understanding of the boss's positioning of Yongke Real Estate.

His self-pity was shattered by Boss Fang's greeting, and he hurried up to him, and followed him upstairs for dinner.

Liu Suyi felt that he could think about the good. Isn't Mr. Kong, the MIGA fund that is very important to Mr. Fang, also sitting in the audience?
Even, he still sat in the back row.

Thinking about it this way, the whole person is unobstructed.

At night in Shanghai, the Yike Company is celebrating its eight-year annual meeting, and far away in Washington DC is preparing for the inauguration ceremony of the new BOSS.

Fang Zhuo did not forget to send a simple blessing text message to the big customer when he toasted frequently.

"Why not?"

Soon, he did not expect to receive a reply.

"Yes, we can."

Fang Zhuo put down his phone, took a sip of his wine, and said with emotion: "Gou Fugui, don't forget each other."

The people around listened to the following, wanting to know the origin of this emotion.

But Fang Zhuo just smiled, hoping that a friendship would bear more fruit.

……

The annual meeting of the Yike Department is very lively.

However, despite intentional or unintentional instructions, several key data at the annual meeting were still circulated.

Yike's first-generation Mars sold 289 million units in China?

289 units!

Is it human?Are you still human?

The media interviewed Liu Qiangdong earlier and asked about the sales volume, but because the pilot work needs to keep a low profile, he and the other high-level executives said "not much sold", "just pilot", "how much can be sold in eight cities".

As a result, just after the 3G license was issued in the new year, Yike announced such a sales volume?
How on earth is this sold?Can domestic brands really stand up?
The industry was shocked and bewildered.

In addition to the 289 million units of the first-generation Mars, there are also 2 million units of Mars152...

This... This can no longer be called "Zhonglian mobile phone", and the two cannot be compared at all.

Nokia phone?

Yixing mobile phone?

Can't enter South Korea, but don't even think about entering American mobile phones?
The global data is more gorgeous, but the peers and the media are usually in contact with the domestic market, so the results of Yike’s pilot + official sales are particularly shocking.

A group of people are busy giving Yike mobile a new positioning, thinking of paying attention to the rising of such a domestic brand.

But there are also some people who are very sad.

Knowing about Yikemeng earlier, I tried to use administrative constraints, emphasizing that operators are pilots.

It's impossible now, and you can't go to the leader, otherwise, it's not a hindrance, it's a congratulations to the leader!
In addition to Yike's achievements, the seven future direction forecasts and cloud computing revealed at the annual meeting are also quite eye-catching.

It is a pity that Mr. Fang did not elaborate on the seven directions in detail, which made the reporters who heard the news silently write down the information, thinking that in the future, the richest man in the mainland must have a good chat about how to make money.

As for cloud computing...

Concepts and work that are too cutting-edge are bound to attract criticism.

Unlike the suppressed opinions within the Yike Department, the words "cloud computing" and "20 billion" stabbed many people, and the person involved, Wang Jian, was also included in the discussion. In this discussion, his psychology major was particularly conspicuous.

In related questions on Zhihu, a brief comment received many likes.

"This is a decision made by a boss who doesn't understand technology and a Ph.D. in psychology to conquer cloud computing. It's very dark and humorous."

Mr. Fang has never shy away from his lack of technology, which is why Bingxin is considered reckless. Although Wang Jian has a history of data research at Microsoft Research, his professional ability is still very much questioned.

Does such a combination of decisions really make cloud computing?
Do current companies and websites really need it?

Related discussions are raging.

What really pushes the discussion to the top is the evaluation from within Baidu.

"Cloud computing is old wine in new bottles, nothing new."

"15 years ago, the industry talked about the relationship between the client and the server, and then it talked about services based on the Internet WEB interface. Now it talks about cloud computing. In fact, they are all the same, and they are mainly done on the server side."

"In the future, I also believe that more and more Internet applications based on cloud computing will come out, but if I use cloud computing to make more money, I feel that this job will be more tiring."

Putting old wine in new bottles will be tiring.

It is said that this is a comment from the head of Baidu.

Unlike Mr. Yi Kefang's label of "not knowing technology", Mr. Li of Baidu is simply another extreme. He knows too much about technology.

Although it is impossible to verify whether it is Mr. Li's evaluation, this kind of evaluation undoubtedly represents the views of many technical schools.

The atmosphere of discussion on Zhihu is very strong. After Li Yanhong suspected that Li Yanhong made some comments, Zhihu co-founder Xiong Xiaoge also answered related questions.

"At Yike Company, I chatted with Mr. Fang about everyone's views, and he asked me to ask Penguin and Ali their views on cloud computing. The truth became clearer and clearer. This is a very interesting discussion that can be reviewed in the future. .”

Does cloud computing work?

What do colleagues in the industry think?
Xiong Xiaoge's message aroused protracted emotions on the Penguin side.

I don't know why, Penguin seems to have suffered deeply in the acquisition of Youyou.com.

In particular, as Weibo gradually shows a different vitality on smartphones, the emotions and haze are more lingering.

Only on the night of January 1, it was also suspected that the head of Penguin also talked about his views.

"I see some people say that cloud computing is the water, electricity, and coal in the future digital world. I agree with this statement, but it may take hundreds of years, or even 1000 years for cloud computing to become the foundation of water, electricity, and coal."

Whether to support or oppose, the attitude is self-evident.

The head of Penguin is also a technical school, and his views are similar to those of Li Yanhong.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Fang Zhuo, who had been drinking for a day off, waited for Kong Yu to come and report, while browsing and discussing with great interest.

He was sure that this was the real thought of those two people, and he was sure that it would be brought up frequently in the future.

On the contrary, Ali did not make a sound, and vaguely heard that there was an additional budget.

"Mr. Fang, Mr. Fang, new news, new news."

After knocking on the door, Kong Yu hurried in, talking about something new.

Fang Zhuo signaled the gasoline man to sit first.

"The U.S. ITC's ban on LG mobile phones has passed the review of the command office, and they have not overturned it, and it will take effect immediately." Kong Yuhui reported.

"So fast? It's too fast." Fang Zhuo was surprised and amused.

ITC's ban on LG mobile phones has the final result on February 2 at the latest according to regulations, and the commanding office has the right to overturn the ban.

Taking into account the inauguration time, this result was released between January 1 and February 20, US time.

As a result, that side passed the ban almost in the fastest time.

"According to the tradition in the United States, it will almost never be overthrown. LG has actually been removed from various channels, but this final news..." Fang Zhuo shook his head. "Well, LG is indeed doomed. Let's see what happens to it later."

He believes that LG itself knows how unlikely it is to overturn the ban.

Kong Yu finished talking about the news that seemed to be able to verify the connection between the two, and said seriously: "Mr. Fang, the short sellers in the United States are already investigating Yike's patent lawsuit. The profit margin here is undoubtedly attractive to them. .”

Fang Zhuo nodded, the decision on this bad news actually rests with Nokia.

"However, I have carefully checked our operating space these days. Perhaps, the overthrow power of the commander's office and the option lock-up of outstanding shares can be used as two short-squeeze weapons." Kong Yu said solemnly.

Fang Zhuo took a sip of tea, thinking about his proposal.

Kong Yu continued to talk about his thoughts: "There is no need to announce the tradable shares locked by options. This is the key operation of Porsche in the Volkswagen case."

"However, Europe is different from the United States. In the United States, the option can be exercised at any time. We can use the option to lock the tradable shares to kill once without relying on the announcement of the commanding office."

Investors of European options can only exercise on the exercise date, while the exercise time of American options is relatively free. Investors can choose to exercise on the expiration date or any working day before the expiration date.

Fang Zhuo roughly understood the gasoline man's thinking: "Is it not enough to make a bet once, and then make another bet after a while?"

The use of options to squeeze short is an operation, and the use of the office's overturning power is a relationship.

The short sellers who are not convinced that the office will not overturn the ban according to the usual practice can continue to try to regain their position, that is, they will be cut off again.

　The doomed sheep, this is a chapter on acetylation, and it will be updated according to the physical condition later, try to code as much as possible.
