Chapter 302: Ruthless Turn (Two in One)

The second meeting between Sina's board of directors and Fang Zhuo still had the same configuration as the last time.

There are seven people on the other side, five people on our side, and two leaders.

But at the beginning of today, Duan Yongji and Fang Zhuo's greetings and compliments made the leaders breathe a sigh of relief. Today's negotiation meeting finally got off to a good start.

As soon as Fang Zhuo sat down, more than one of the directors opposite him looked at him.

He nodded vaguely, and more than one person silently made the final weighing in his heart.

To this day, among the board members of Sina present, Wang Yan is still the one who values ​​Fang Zhuo the most, not the reported wealth, not the exaggerated performance of business ethics, but Fang Zhuo's ideas and government.

He observed Fang Zhuo's expression at this moment and couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.

Fang Zhuo took the tea that was handed over and put it in front of his documents. He noticed the look from Sina CEO and responded with a friendly smile.

"A lot of things have happened recently." Duan Yongji was the first to speak. "Sina has encountered many situations, some good and some bad. I can't say bad. The collision of different ideas always makes it easier for people to see the way forward."

As co-chairman of Sina's board of directors, and as a business tycoon who has profoundly influenced Sina's direction from the past to the present, Duan Yongji still took the lead in setting the tone for this meeting.

Last night, through Wang Yan, Duan Yongji learned that there were changes in the board of directors that caught him off guard.

Duan Yongji did not expect the transfer of shareholders' shares. The competition for control of Sina was so fierce that a good price would undoubtedly be quite tempting. However, he did not expect that the directors on the board of directors would be the first to change.

Will this be a domino change?

Duan Yongji stayed up all night and contacted all his directors. The statements he received were all from the same trench. No one expressed any concern about cooperating with Fang Zhuo.

In the morning, Duan Yongji called Fang Zhuo directly and made his decision when he heard the other party say his last name.

Sunshine Culture was already unfavorable in cooperating with Sina, and was intentionally abandoned when it misjudged MIGA Fund's hostile takeover. Now it seems that even if he and Wu Zheng had a frank discussion, he is still considering taking the opportunity to withdraw from the current intensified situation.

The cooperation between Sunshine Culture and Sina has lasted for several months, and the business has reached a lose-lose situation.

Capital pursues profits, stops losses in time, and even maintains surpluses. This is undoubtedly Wu Zhengyang's motivation.

Duan Yongji could only scold the opponent for being short-sighted in his heart, but it was difficult to stop such a decision to leave the game once it had occurred.

In this case, since Fang Zhuo's profound influence on Sina has become an increasingly clear fact, Duan Yongji decided to take a preemptive strike as a victim of making peace with Fang Zhuo to jointly decide the direction of Sina's progress.

After all, Fang Zhuo has no foundation in Sina, so he has to rely on the original people when he takes over Sina.

Thinking about it from this perspective, this is not a tricky situation.

"Everyone here is a director of the company, and the two directors are also leaders who care about Sina." Duan Yongji sat in the first position on the left, describing the company's recent situation in a slow and powerful voice, "There is no need to hide the truth, Sina has recently There was even a period of time when the performance was truly unsatisfactory.”

The only voice in the conference room was the co-chairman's voice. Everyone was listening quietly. The atmosphere was completely different and peaceful compared to last time.

Duan Yongji is very satisfied with this situation. This is the Sina conference room he is familiar with.

"Mr. Fang is Sina's major shareholder. I personally understand his objections to Sina's performance."

"Sina's current stock price is not only affected by the Internet bubble, but also in terms of business..."

The co-chairman's slowly foreshadowing words were suddenly interrupted by Wu Zheng, the other co-chairman.

"I have been thinking a lot about Sina's development recently." Wu Zheng's words surprised many people. Especially, he interrupted Duan Yongji, which made the two leaders look at him.

"I personally think that Sina's current situation has a phenomenon that needs attention."

Wu Zheng's voice was relatively clear. He ignored the eyes that came over him and spoke directly: "Many ideas are good, strategies are good, but there are always problems with execution."

Co-chairman Duan Yongji frowned slightly, what else did Wu Zheng want to do before leaving?

Chairman Jiang Fengnian was expressionless.

Sina CEO Wang Yan was heartbroken.

Sina's major shareholder Fang Zhuo listened attentively.

"What's the problem?" Wu Zheng's voice lowered, but the content exploded through the entire conference room, "It's the board of directors!"

Duan Yongji, who hadn't slept all night, was suddenly startled. He didn't look at Wu Zheng. He glanced at Fang Zhuo's face, then continued to look at the other people present, and said, "Wu Zheng, what do you mean?"

"The management needs enough trust to implement the strategy, but now, I think Duan Yongji's presence on the board of directors has had an extremely negative impact on the management." Wu Zheng was categorical.

He said word for word: "Duan Yongji is not suitable to be on the board of directors!"

The two leaders who were watching looked at each other, what's going on? what's the situation? Is this Sina's own internal strife?

One co-chairman jumped out and pointed his finger at the other co-chairman.

There was an eerie silence in the conference room.

At this moment, except for the two leaders who were slightly slow to react, everyone realized one thing.

Today was said to be the second meeting between Sina and Fang Zhuoyifang, but all nine directors of Sina were present!

It was a discussion meeting, or it could be said that it was a general meeting of the board of directors of Sina!

Sina CEO Wang Yan's throat suddenly became dry. He knew what Duan Yongji was going to do today, which was to end the farce of Sina with the withdrawal of Sunshine Culture, but before he started, Wu Zheng jumped out to accuse him.

Nine people, nine votes!

Wu Zheng himself had one vote!

Fang Zhuo had two votes!

If you want to point the sword at Duan Yongji, you need two more votes!

Who else?

Who is the ghost?

Wang Yan didn't bother to hide his expression, and looked at every director present in surprise.

The general situation suddenly became clear.

Duan Yongji thought that he had reached a tacit understanding with Fang Zhuo in the morning call, and he didn't expect that the backstab against him would come suddenly. This was undoubtedly the most dangerous moment.

"Wu Zheng." Duan Yongji counted the votes in his mind and spoke calmly, "What do you want to do by spitting blood at this time?"

He looked at Fang Zhuo who was watching the excitement with a cold eye, knowing that this person must be playing tricks.

Wu Zheng broke off the conversation and said, "Literally, I think if Sina wants to move forward, the board of directors must fully trust the management, and not hinder it anymore."

Duan Yongji laughed angrily: "I am a hindrance?"

The cooperation between Sunshine Culture and Sina had its own support, and now this Wu Zheng actually did this.

He said directly: "Who else thinks I am a hindrance? Just say it, why are you hiding it?"

Duan Yongji stood up and swept his eyes across the faces.

The atmosphere was particularly solemn.

"Cough." Fang Zhuo suddenly coughed, and seeing that he attracted everyone's attention, he said innocently, "I'll drink some tea, my throat is uncomfortable, you continue."

The solemn atmosphere was broken by this.

Sina President Mao Daolin spoke in this situation: "Mr. Wu is also thinking about Sina. The development of the company requires everyone to contribute ideas and efforts together."

Duan Yongji looked at Mao Daolin in disbelief.

Mao Daolin picked up the teacup without looking at Duan Yongji.

Wang Yan was shocked, and the president jumped out?

How could there be so many changes overnight?

"What does Mr. Mao mean? Who is responsible for Sina's current situation? How much does Mr. Duan support your strategy? Do you still have a conscience?" Another director, Yan Yuanchao, said indignantly.

Mao Daolin has been in charge of Sina's work in the past year. The introduction of Sunshine Culture is inseparable from his ideas, and has always been supported by Duan Yongji, a major shareholder.

Now, he speaks for Wu Zheng. Is this a smooth talk or a dagger?

Mao Daolin retorted unhappily: "What do you mean, Mr. Yan? I don't say that I have contributed to the stability of Sina this year, but I have also worked hard. Who is it that has no conscience?"

Duan Yongji bit his back teeth. He was not angry about Mao Daolin's defection, but was counting the votes of the board of directors.

If there is a vote, Mao + Wu + Fang will have four votes.

At least one vote is needed.

Who else? Is there anyone else?

Mao Daolin and Yan Yuanchao quarreled.

Duan Yongji did not speak, but looked at Wang Yan.

Wang Yan was confused by this look, and suddenly realized that he was doubting himself. He couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. He was completely kept in the dark.

Fang Zhuo didn't say anything either, just watching this backstabbing scene.

The two leaders also didn't say anything. Now they understood some of the situation. It seemed that there was a problem within Sina, and they didn't take a stand.

Wu Zheng said the last procedure loudly: "Vote, I propose to remove Duan Yongji from his position on the board of directors."

Duan Yongji looked solemn, and at this time he didn't want to speak.

He now looked like a ghost to everyone.

Yan Yuanchao and Mao Daolin were still arguing.

It was Fang Zhuo again, and Fang Zhuo again. He said easily at this time: "I support it. Mr. Duan can try to trust young people. Well, we have two votes."

Duan Yongji narrowed his eyes slightly, and this sentence was meaningful.

He shook his head slightly.

However, Wang Yan immediately said: "I object."

Duan Yongji looked at Wang Yan in astonishment. Not him? Only four votes? Who else could it be? How could there be someone else?

Yan Yuanchao and Mao Daolin stopped arguing.

The meeting room fell silent again.

Mao Daolin said calmly: "I think Mr. Duan can take a break."

The recall vote initiated by Wu Zheng has already received four votes.

There are nine people on the board of directors, and only one vote is needed to complete the recall procedure.

Duan Yongji squinted his eyes and looked around the meeting room.

Two more directors voted, both against.

4:3.

There are two votes left, both from our own people.

"I support it." Before the end, three words floated out from the mouth of Jiang Fengnian, chairman of the Sina board of directors.

Duan Yongji was shocked, Jiang Fengnian?

He did not raise his voice, nor did he feel wronged. He just asked the reason for this fatal vote: "Why?"

Jiang Fengnian said calmly: "Last year, I cast an abstention vote."

Duan Yongji asked in astonishment: "Did Wang Zhidong contact you?"

"No." Jiang Fengnian shook his head and stated his reasons, "From June last year to June this year, a whole year, the reason you dismissed Wang Zhidong last year was Sina's performance, but in this year, Sina's performance has not improved."

Jiang Fengnian looked at Fang Zhuo: "Now, Mr. Fang, the major shareholder, also thinks that Sina's performance is not good."

Fang Zhuo nodded politely.

"So, based on the same reason, I think Sina can make a new attempt." Jiang Fengnian paused and added, "This is also a kind of fairness."

He finally said: "So, I voted in favor."

Director Yan Yuanchao said excitedly: "Mr. Jiang, you are making your loved ones sad and your enemies happy!"

Wu Zheng accused back: "Does the company's development need to be mixed with personal emotions? Isn't the performance in the past year obvious?"

"Who do you think you are?" Yan Yuanchao cursed directly.

Wu Zheng was so angry that his face turned pale.

Fang Zhuo took a sip of tea and looked at Duan Yongji with interest.

Duan Yongji was furious when he was looked at, but he forced himself to calm down and did not lose his composure.

He stood up again, looked at Fang Zhuo, Jiang Fengnian, Mao Daolin and Wu Zheng, and said calmly: "You will regret it. Such short-sightedness will destroy Sina."

Duan Yongji picked up the mobile phone and documents on the table and finally said: "Fang Zhuo, you are really good at tricks."

The former co-chairman of Sina walked out of the meeting room. He did not intend to admit defeat. The temporary shareholders' meeting became his new stage.

Another director Yan Yuanchao followed him out angrily.

Wang Yan hesitated for a moment, and just when he was about to get up, he heard Fang Zhuo speak.

"Sina's next work is very important. Wireless value-added services must be put first or second."

Wang Yan couldn't lift his butt.

Seeing that other directors didn't leave, he sat down.

The two leaders looked strange. Things had changed unexpectedly. These guys voted out Duan Yongji, the big boss... This, this is too outrageous!

"Sina's performance must be improved."

"The status of Sina's wireless division must be improved first, and this department must be enriched."

Fang Zhuo didn't summarize the backstabbing dismissal that just happened, and directly talked about Sina's specific business.

To be honest, Fang Zhuo doesn't actually have a position in Sina. Davis and Feng Bing hold the board seats. Duan Yongji at least has the position of co-chairman, and he is just a nobody.

But his speech, which was like the chairman's speech, was not explicitly opposed.

No one opposed it, so just say it.

Fang Zhuo had nothing to be embarrassed about. He spoke for an hour, and the main content was two points.

First, wireless value-added services should be taken as the main line along with Sina's portal website.

Second, Sina's portal website business will no longer engage in "cross-media" consortiums, because it has been proven that it is neither helpful to the business nor can it stimulate the stock price.

At 5:30 pm, this unique meeting ended in the conference room.

Fang Zhuo shook hands with the two leaders and the directors present one by one, and then led them away.

Sina temporarily entered a stage where it was deeply influenced by Fang Zhuo.

Soon, the news that Sina's co-chairman Duan Yongji was dismissed and out of the game spread quickly.

This abrupt change shocked everyone again.

…

That night, facing the situation of his own company, Sina's chief writer Xu Changlun was slow to start writing.

Finally, after thinking it over again and again, he still made an objective description:

"Fang Zhuo and Jiang Fengnian announced Duan Yongji's exit at the Sina board meeting!"
