Rebirth 98, the rise started from ripping off Microsoft

Chapter 533 SMS
At the end of the meeting, Lu Yiming walked briskly out of the gate of Zhalang Company with his head held high and his chest held high. His eyes were bright and there was a huge crowd in front of him.

The spotlight flashes non-stop, and the microphone directly hits the face.

"The richest man in Lu..."

"Mr. Lu..."

Facing the crowd of reporters in front of him, Lu Yiming looked calm and said with a smile, "There are a lot of reporter friends here today, don't worry, if you have any questions, I will answer them one by one, and I will answer them all."

With just one word and one look, he controlled the situation, showing his extraordinary demeanor.

A petite female reporter squeezed to the front with her body advantage, her face was flushed with excitement, she tiptoed and stretched out a long microphone, and asked excitedly: "Hi, Mr. Lu, I'm Xiao Longjing from Jade Daily." Just now, before Mr. Wang left, he said that you came to destroy Zha Lang, is this true?"

This question seems unremarkable, it is nothing more than what Wang Zhidong said just now, and the reporter asked this question, please verify it.

But in fact, how Lu Yiming answered would have a very big impact. A bad operation might even bring about a very bad chain reaction.

After all, Zha Lang is Xia Guo's first Internet information company listed in the United States, which has epoch-making significance.

Many people regard Zhalang's listing on NASDAQ as a way for Zhalang to win glory for the country.The exemplary and leading role in this is self-evident.

Not to mention that Zhalang Company also creates jobs. Such a star enterprise often represents the face of a region, and it is not just a commercial issue.

If Lu Yiming really admits that he kicked Wang Zhidong out just to destroy Zhalang, he will definitely be seized by someone with a heart, and a large number of special approvals will be made. Maybe he will be labeled as a "secret agent" or "spy" and everything that can be deducted Buckle him up.

But who is Lu Yiming?Once reborn, he didn't intend to wrong himself, and immediately said: "What he said is right, but not much."

After a brief silence, the reporters immediately became overwhelmed, and the microphones in their hands moved forward desperately.

"Mr. Lu, did you make such a decision to take revenge on Mr. Wang?"

"Don't Mr. Lu think it's too much to destroy the first Nasdaq-listed Internet company in Xia Kingdom for his own personal anger?"

Seeing these reporters' words became more and more sharp, the faces of the few people who followed Lu Yiming looked very ugly, especially Cao Guowei, who had just become the chairman.

From the tone of these reporters, Cao Guowei could tell that if this problem could not be properly resolved, these reporters who feared that the world would not be chaotic would certainly be able to say anything messy.Maybe Zha Lang's image will plummet because of this, and even his newly appointed helm will fall into the pit with him.

However, what Cao Guowei didn't know was that Lu Yiming had already seen through the trap hidden in the words of these reporters. Ruined Zhalang.

"Excessive? I have said more than once before that Zlang Lang is registered in the Cayman Islands, and its investors are Western capitalists and NGO organizations. It is itself a channel for foreigners to carry out cultural infiltration and spiritual colonization of Xia Kingdom. Such a company , Do you think it is the light of Xia Guo? I am afraid that the father behind the gold master will laugh his teeth out."

"Don't forget, how many years have passed since we put down our guns? Have you already let your guard down? The teacher said that the West will never die. Be vigilant at all times!"

"Today, I paid for Zhalang and cleared away those foreign capital shareholders, so that Zhalang can truly become a pure-blood Xiaguo enterprise."

"Since it is an Internet company in the Xia Kingdom, it should have its own social responsibilities, even if it is just a bowl of water. It is good to report bad news at home every day. When reporting abroad, it is all kinds of beautification and whitewashing. , What is the difference between this and betraying the country?"

"As for personal grievances... I am the richest man, what is he? I can kill him with a few words, does he have the right to make me hate him? Wang Zhidong doesn't have the ability, he doesn't have the heart, so I kicked him out So simple."

His words left the reporters speechless.

After all, Lu Yiming has brought out the gold medal of "patriotism" to avoid death, who dares to beep beeping indiscriminately, do you really think that the relevant departments are dead?

Afterwards, Lu Yiming once again made big news, saying: "Soon, Zha Lang will complete the reorganization. After cutting off some fringe businesses, it will officially change its name to Fun News, with current affairs news as the core business content, and provide all Xia users with The latest and most interesting current affairs news. I want to build Zhalang into a platform that can let Xia people speak out and let the whole world hear Xia's voice. Stay tuned, I have so much to say, please let me know. "

The reporters wanted to continue asking questions, but Lu Yiming didn't intend to continue and left directly.

In the evening, Lu Yiming found a hotel and invited Cao Guowei to dinner.The original appointment was at six o'clock in the evening, but Cao Guowei didn't come until after seven o'clock.As soon as he entered the door, he said apologetically, "Mr. Lu, I'm really sorry. There are too many things to be busy today, so I kept you waiting."

Now, Lu Yiming has become the controller of Zha Lang and Cao Guowei's immediate boss. Naturally, Cao Guowei dare not call him junior anymore.

In order to appease everyone in the company, Cao Guowei can be said to be very busy today, going to meetings from department to department, making various promises, and observing everyone's reactions, so as to save someone from cooperating with Wang Zhidong and doing things together. Accidents come to make the situation difficult to deal with.

The difficulty in this, just thinking about it, makes Lu Yiming's scalp tingle.

So he simply threw it to Cao Guowei, because only Cao Guowei's identity and reputation can shoulder this responsibility.

Acquiring a listed company is not an easy task.

Unless Lu Yiming really doesn't care whether it is a loss or not, everything he does must be carefully considered before he can implement it.

In the world of capital, there are too many companies that are not acclimatized after being acquired by others.

Venting anger is definitely necessary, but Lu Yiming doesn't want to let go of making money.

Lu Yiming poured a glass of red wine for Cao Guowei, and said politely to Cao Guowei: "Senior, please sit down. Senior has worked hard. Since the senior has chosen to take on this burden, I have to rely on the senior for future scumbags."

"How is the situation at the company now?"

Hearing about Lu Yiming's culture, Cao Guowei drank the fine wine in his glass, relaxed a lot, and immediately replied in an orderly manner: "For the time being, the employees have been calmed down, but everyone is still worried, mainly because the company is preparing to The name change, and the issue of moving the headquarters."

Although Wang Zhidong is from Guancheng, Guangdong Province, he studied at a university in Beijing, so he set the Sina headquarters here to make the most of the various social resources provided to him by Beijing University, especially as a summer university. As one of the top universities in China, it can send a large number of high-quality talents to Sina.

This is not only a win-win situation, but also a kind of feedback from Wang Zhidong to Beijing University. After all, he can rise all the way, and Beijing University has also made great efforts behind it.

Now that Lu Yiming has completed the acquisition of Sina, and wants to completely control the company, the first thing to do is naturally to "clean up" the internal staff, especially the one Wang Zhidong brought out from Beijing University. Criticize "old courtiers".

As the saying goes, one emperor and one courtier, the original batch of employees recruited by Wang Zhidong, most of them were born in Beijing University, may not be able to agree with Lu Yiming, and Lu Yiming dare not study, so it is better to take advantage of the present and move the company headquarters directly to Zhonghai , so that it will be convenient for the follow-up to change the company's internal blood, and replace the employees in the core positions with "our own people".

For example, if you change to a graduate from Fuda University, you will be much more comfortable doing things in the future.

Of course, this kind of thing can't be rushed, it has to be done slowly, otherwise it will trigger a "civilian uprising" within the company, and it will cause big trouble.

Cao Guowei stated his interests to Lu Yiming, and then asked, "Mr. Lu, what are you going to do about this?"

Lu Yiming thought for a while, and seemed confident: "I think these problems can be divided into three steps."

"The first step is to relocate the company's headquarters. If you are willing to follow along, you will get a [-]% base salary increase. If you don't want to leave, don't move for now. We will deal with it when the new company is completely stabilized."

"In the second step, after the relocation of the headquarters, the company changed its name, completely erased the original traces of Sina, changed it to Fun News World, and started to abolish some redundant departments and streamline the staff."

"The third and final step is to use the success of the new business to answer all doubts. As long as the new business can bring benefits, we can remain invincible."

Seeing that Lu Yiming's thinking was clear and the strategies he adopted were extremely mature and prudent, Cao Guowei finally let go of his worries.

No wonder Lu Xuedi was able to become the richest man in a country at such a young age, it really wasn't pure luck.

Cao Guowei said with admiration: "President Lu has a gully in his heart. With these three steps, it is not impossible for Zha Lang to get on the right track again, and even the stock price to skyrocket on NASDAQ."

Later, he asked curiously: "I don't know what this new business Mr. Lu is talking about?"

Lu Yiming didn't answer, but instead asked Cao Guowei: "What do you think is the core value of portal websites?"

Cao Guowei thought for a while and said, "It's news."

This is what he learned himself.

Lu Yiming agreed: "That's right, the so-called portal website is actually to provide users with the latest, fastest and most real-time news information. The core selling point is 'real-time'. To put it bluntly, it is faster than traditional newspapers and magazines."

"For example, the news that happened at [-] o'clock in the morning today, the traditional media can deliver it to users the next day at the earliest, because it takes time from interviewing, recording, to typesetting and printing, and finally delivering to newsstands."

"But portals rely on the Internet. We don't need to print or go through newsstands. We can deliver news directly to users on the Internet. That's why we can be faster than traditional media, and we must be faster than traditional media. And efficiency is the lifeline of our products.”

Cao Guowei thought for a while, but said: "It's not difficult to do news, and it's not difficult to do it quickly. The biggest problem now is, how do we make money? Learn from Yahoo, take orders and advertise? You know, if There is no profit point, and a positive cycle cannot be formed, and this thing will not last long.”

At this time, the Xiaguo Internet was generally busy copying off-the-shelf successful cases abroad, and lacked thinking about the meaning and value of its own existence.

The three major portals are all direct copies of Yahoo, e-commerce imitates Amazon and eBay, and Penguin, which engages in social networking, does not care about face, and its name directly imitates QICQ.

In other words, I do what other people do, and I behave like a rabbit, crossing the river by feeling the eagle sauce.

But this brings up a new problem. In the United States, Internet companies and Wall Street have colluded together, and they can partner to swindle money from the stock market.

The old rich people in Xia Kingdom are not so easy to fool around, mainly because they are not very accepting of new things like the Internet.Many rich people in China, they judge whether a project can be successful, not by the size of the pie you draw, but by asking about your profit model and how you plan to make money.

It's such a simple question that 90.00% of the Internet companies can't answer because they don't know how to make money.

But Lu Yiming knew it, so he already had a comprehensive idea on this matter.

As a user in the previous life, Lu Yiming hated the advertisements of various apps and websites.

Therefore, he directly rejected Cao Guowei's proposal to advertise on the portal website without saying a word: "You are wrong about this. In fact, advertising and receiving business orders can only make quick money for a while, and even die faster. Because you never From the user’s point of view, do you like advertisements? Don’t you? So once your competitors come up with other better profit models, you will be killed on the spot. Don’t look at Yahoo’s current prosperity, you can’t use it In a few years, he will not be able to maintain the current flow."

Cao Guowei felt that Lu Yiming was a bit alarmist, and said in surprise: "Isn't it? The market value of Yahoo now exceeds 300 billion U.S. dollars. At the peak, it even reached [-] billion U.S. dollars. Putting it in Xia Guo, this is trillions of dollars. The giant group. It will collapse in a few years? How can it be so exaggerated."

"The Internet is like this. When it's good, it's very prominent, but when it's low, it's really a lump of mud and everyone steps on it."

Lu Yiming took out a laptop from his bag, called the hotel staff, connected the phone in the box, and after successfully dialing, he logged in to the Internet, waited for a few minutes, and finally opened the Yahoo website.He asked Cao Guowei: "After you saw Yahoo's homepage, what was your first impression?"

Although he didn't understand what Lu Yiming was trying to express, after carefully looking at Yahoo's official website, Cao Guowei replied truthfully: "Indeed, there are many advertisements."

Lu Yiming clicked a few times casually, and said: "Look at these advertisements, they are colorful and colorful, don't they look annoying? And the fonts are big, I'm afraid you can't see them, but they are some news, the headlines are inconspicuous. The text also lacks a sense of design.”

Ten years later, the only websites that dare to design their own homepages like this are websites like Tanwan Lanyue and Sense Dealer Online Dealing Cards.The whole thing is gimmicky, and it looks very unscrupulous at first glance.

But today's Internet portals are all of this virtue. The trillion-level Internet giants have their own website homepages, which look like street customs shops.

Lu Yiming then opened the homepage of Sina, just like Yahoo, all kinds of advertisements flew up, and even squeezed the news to the corners, which was outrageous.

Lu Yiming criticized mercilessly: "Look, when a user clicks in, do they see the news or the advertisement? Suppose you are a user and want to read the news, but when you come in, your eyes are full of advertisements. Are you annoyed by people holding their heads and force-feeding shit?"

Cao Guowei was sweating profusely in embarrassment: "Well, all portal websites are like this."

Lu Yiming's tone suddenly became serious: "Others are like this, so we are like this too? Could it be that if everyone makes it bad together, isn't it bad?"

Then Lu Yiming closed the homepage of Sina, opened a folder, showed it to Cao Guowei, and said: "This is the homepage of the anecdote portal website that I just asked someone to make. Although it hasn't been officially launched yet, it basically has all the necessary functions There is."

When Cao Guowei took a look, he felt that the homepage of the news website in front of him was different from all the portal website homepages he had seen before. The biggest difference was that it was clean!

There are no messy small advertisements that look like dog skin plasters, and the color of the layout tends to be uniform, instead of being colorful and colorful, giving people a feeling of a custom place. The light blue background looks very soft and soothing, and the layout of the layout is very Reasonably, each news is arranged in a specific order, and the most prominent ones at the top are the most interesting news content.

When users click in, they can easily receive various real-time news information without having to search for it themselves. Many news items not only have text titles, but also match pictures, which makes people want to reach out and click in. take a look.

I have to say, the design of this layout is too strong!
Cao Guowei said sincerely: "Mr. Lu, where did you find such a master? This interface is really refreshing. Watching the news is simply a kind of enjoyment."

Lu Yiming sighed depressingly: "I also want to find someone to do it. The key is that all these people have the same thinking, and the things they make are getting worse and worse. I have no choice but to do it myself."

Accustomed to the graphic news section of the later generations, Lu Yiming looked at the current portal website again, and couldn't bear to look directly at it, so he had to do it himself to get enough food and clothing.

"you made it yourself?"

This time, Cao Guowei was really shocked.

How many professional designers can't make these coordinated web pages, isn't Lu Yiming too versatile?
"Yeah, have you forgotten that I'm from the Department of Computer Science?"

"..."

Cao Guowei was at a loss for words for a while.

"Okay, if we don't accept advertisements, how can we make a profit? It's impossible to rely entirely on your blood transfusion, Mr. Lu, right?"

Lu Yiming smiled slightly and said, "Senior, do you know text messages?"

"Short message?"
