Chapter 304 Malicious Confession

Fang Zhuo becomes Sina's vice president.

Is this an end or the beginning of another round of twists and turns?

Is this a comma or a period, or an exclamation mark?

The outside world is talking about this, and generally believes that the battle for control of Sina has not been completely over, and Fang Zhuo's staged victory is difficult to maintain.

Internally, there are many factions within Sina, which has always been a long-term constraint.

Externally, Duan Yongji, who has temporarily retreated, did not give up easily. He also asked for an extraordinary shareholders' meeting, and he was obviously holding back a breath of anger to fight back.

Moreover, on the last day of June, Duan Yongji, who was discharged from the hospital, held a press conference, leaving no room for ambiguity, and clearly expressed his goal of returning to Sina.

Some media asserted that the battle for control of Sina is far from over, and there will inevitably be another round of fierce fighting.

Under such circumstances, Fang Zhuo, who was elected as Sina's vice president, did not make any big moves, refused media interviews, and even only went to Sina headquarters twice.

The media talked a lot, the industry talked a lot, and Sina's top and bottom talked a lot.

On July 2, Fang Zhuo, who had been silent for several days, appeared on CCTV in a low-key manner. This was to fulfill his promise and repay the favor of producer Hu Meng. Last time, Fang Zhuo responded through CCTV. Fang Zhuo called her to ask for help.

Today's recording was the final of "Win in China". Fang Zhuo did not serve as a judge, but just served as a guest to support the show.

"Hi, Mr. Fang, are you appearing on our show today as the president of Yike Investment or as the vice president of Sina?"

Hu Meng teased Fang Zhuo when she saw him.

Fang Zhuo smiled: "Does it make a difference? Anyway, I'm in the camera."

Hu Meng pointed to Fang Zhuo's chest: "Depending on your request, the show will be subtitled here. Today it can be "Vice President of Sina". How about it? Do you want to use the new identity?"

Fang Zhuo didn't expect this. He laughed dumbly and refused the new identity subtitle.

"Oh, yes, Mr. Wang was originally invited, but he couldn't come because of something." Hu Meng said.

Fang Zhuo noticed the producer's small test and shrugged: "Mr. Wang has been in a bad mood recently."

Hu Meng's gossip heart was satisfied a little. She heard some rumors about Sina's board of directors. She had seen Fang Zhuo and Wang Yan get along well on the show before, but now it seems that their relationship has broken down.

"Mr. Fang, please sit down. There will be another old friend later." Hu Meng was still busy.

Fang Zhuo nodded, and soon saw his old friend Xiong Xiaoge as expected.

The last recording of CCTV's financial program obviously invited many big names. Xiong Xiaoge, the president of IDG China, who had said that he would not participate in the second season, came out of courtesy.

Xiong Xiaoge saw Fang Zhuo as soon as he walked into the recording room.

This was not because Fang Zhuo stood out from the crowd, but because there was no one around him, and he could see the lonely Yike president at a glance.

"Fang Zhuo, Fang Zhuo, you have tasted the consequences, right?" Xiong Xiaoge sat next to Fang Zhuo without any scruples and laughed at him.

"Old Xiong, you are a venture capitalist sitting with a hostile takeover guy, aren't you afraid of being disheartened by the world?" Fang Zhuo asked calmly.

Xiong Xiaoge said nonchalantly: "What can I do if I talk to the company I invested in? Who made me invest money?"

"Okay, next time I fight with Duan Yongji, I will say that IDG Xiong Xiaoge is supporting me behind the scenes, so that the bargaining chips will be heavier." Fang Zhuo nodded with relief.

Xiong Xiaoge was really scared. He knew the style of this guy. If he gets angry, he will really drag himself into the water, and then he will have no words to say.

"Fang Zhuo, don't hurt me, just accept everyone's criticism of you honestly by yourself." Xiong Xiaoge said angrily.

Fang Zhuo laughed out loud.

This is really appropriate.

Today's finals scene is very lively, but this kind of liveliness is very subtle and has nothing to do with him.

Originally, few Internet companies came here. Now that Duan Yongji, who has a wide range of contacts, has held a press conference and received many criticisms, these physical companies have kept their distance.

Of course, this is also related to the natural aversion of corporate leaders to hostile takeovers. They use this silent distance to express a rough attitude.

Fang Zhuo and Xiong Xiaoge chatted and laughed freely, and this attitude made some people feel a little dissatisfied. Doesn't Fang Zhuo feel guilty at all?

At nine o'clock in the morning, the program began recording.

Everything went smoothly.

Fang Zhuo saw Xu Huaizhe on the stage. He and his accounting website reached the final stage and looked very likely to win the trophy.

As a guest, Fang Zhuo was asked about his views on the contestants' projects. He mainly talked about Xu Huaizhe's website and corrected a judge's view that the accounting website was compared with New Oriental.

New Oriental still pays more attention to offline teaching, which is different from what Xu Huaizhe wants to do.

I thought that today's recording would be finished smoothly after just going through the motions. Unexpectedly, when the judges finished scoring and the program was about to award the prizes, there was a little problem in the contestants' speech and communication.

During the communication session, one contestant, Li Tong, named Fang Zhuo, the president of Yike Investment, who was sitting quietly in the audience:

"I admire Mr. Fang's success very much. I want to ask Mr. Fang a few questions about the company."

The camera turned to Fang Zhuo, who hesitated for a moment, nodded in agreement, and took the microphone.

Li Tong asked with a sharp look in his eyes: "What does Mr. Fang think about the hostile takeover facing the company?"

The way of asking this question was relatively euphemistic, but it was undoubtedly directly pointing to the recent controversy over the control of Sina, which has been the whirlpool of public opinion.

The recording scene was quiet, but everyone's hearts were filled with excitement.

Fang Zhuo didn't expect to meet a player who was fighting against an injustice like this. He only thought for a second and directly revealed the problem: "Li Tong, you want to hear me talk about Sina, right?"

Li Tong said "Uh", but he didn't expect the young CEO to tear off the veil of questions so gracefully.

He nodded.

"To be honest, given the entrepreneurial stage shown by the current program and contestants." Fang Zhuo leaned back on his seat, "The dispute over the control of a company like Sina is not a very pragmatic topic."

Fang Zhuo said unceremoniously: "Li Tong, do you think you are very close to this level?"

"I understand that many people use Sina's affairs as a talking point, but I cannot understand that some people are filled with indignation today after seeing certain reports and want to trample them to death tomorrow."

"I suggest everyone interested in the Sina incident not to look at what others say, but to look at how it is done."

Fang Zhuo paused and said with a smile: "Returning to Sina is actually very simple."

"Does Sina have profitability difficulties? Yes."

"Can Sina's current board of directors and management solve it? No."

"Can I fix it? I think I can."

On this occasion, Fang Zhuo did not give up naming the board of directors just because he became vice president of Sina, although many people thought he was talking about the board of directors under the influence of Duan Yongji.

He brought the topic to the show: "What qualities should an entrepreneur possess most?"

"Confidence, you have to have confidence in the project, you have to have confidence in yourself, you have to have confidence in the team you choose."

Fang Zhuo spread his hands and said coolly: "I also have this kind of confidence, so I chose Sina to practice my understanding of the Internet."

"This is me."

"The idea of ​​a party, a hostile takeover."

Today, Fang Zhuo has finally revealed his identity as a hostile acquirer. He is confident and arrogant, as if his knowledge can really change a cutting-edge website in the Internet industry.

However, no matter whether it was possible or not, such a young, confident and energetic attitude still infected the audience and some guests.

Xiong Xiaoge, who was next to him, clapped along with everyone, feeling that this was the Fang Zhuo he knew, and he always had an arrogant persuasiveness.

I'm a bit hungry tonight, so I'll have a two-in-one tomorrow morning.
