Chapter 340 Combination Punch (Two in One)

"Where did you get this report?"

"I asked you where this report came from?"

On the afternoon of December 3, Fang Zhuo met Director Liu above.

The two are not strangers. They have dealt with each other whether it was the battle for control of Sina or the information construction conference in which Guahao.com participated.

"There was a little news on Sina a few days ago, and Guohao.com happened to be undergoing a transformation recently, and they gathered an expert group to go over and check out the situation. This is the joint report of the expert group."

Fang Zhuo briefly stated that this process was like the linkage between Sina.com and Guohao.com.

Director Liu nodded slightly, there is no problem.

Fang Zhuo handed over another list of the expert group, with names, professional titles, and work units on it, and said: "These are the experts who signed after the report. They all agree with the preliminary judgment of Yangcheng."

Director Liu took it and browsed through it solemnly. He found that there were both professors from the school and doctors on the front line.

"I originally wanted to sign this written report, as it would be considered responsible." Fang Zhuo continued, "But on second thought, this is the opinion of a professional after all, and it would not be good for me, a business person, to be involved. "

Director Liu said with mixed approval: "You have thought a lot."

Fang Zhuo replied steadily: "It's just the right time."

Director Liu stopped evaluating Fang Zhuo's actions and began to consider the news requests from Sina.

After a while, he read the list of experts and the report twice before speaking: "As for news, Sina can publish it, but Sina cannot publish it alone."

Fang Zhuo listened intently.

Director Liu explained, "After all, this expert group is organized by your company, and the impact must be considered. I don't mean to suppress Sina News. Didn't you say you have contacted CCTV? I will communicate with them and ask again. Ask Yangcheng about this situation, and then send it to Sina and CCTV together.”

This is the right kind of leadership.

Fang Zhuo felt a sense of emotion in his heart. He looked at the director who was still explaining and just... continued to listen to his explanation.

Although Sina has been on the market for two years, it is still a new thing in the eyes of leaders. This kind of news related to the Yangcheng judgment and the form in which this judgment came about forced Director Liu to say more.

In the eyes of Director Liu, Fang Zhuo, who made a hostile takeover, fought a fierce battle, and drove away the company president, has a relatively tough character. It is best if they can communicate and understand each other, and Fang Zhuo's current attitude also makes him satisfy.

Ever since, both of them gave each other a good score in their hearts, and the communication went very smoothly.

That night, Fang Zhuo was finally able to sleep well.

At this point in time at the end of this year, there are basically two things he can do.

The first is to try our best to provide medical supplies that may be needed in large quantities.

The second is to use public opinion and professional judgment to remind and attract sufficient attention.

At dawn, Fang Zhuo, who had not slept for eight hours but felt that his energy was completely restored, woke up. He stood up and fumbled to light a cigarette without turning on the light.

For some reason, the first thing that came to his mind was the phone call from Yangcheng he received during the car ride yesterday, and then came the precautionary and even drastic arrangements made by the two companies in the eyes of others.

I don’t know what effect this action will have, but every time one more person benefits, Fang Zhuo’s simple wish can be fulfilled.

Let everyone be well.

…

Two days later, Sina's news report on the situation in Yangcheng was issued simultaneously with CCTV's, reminding Guangdong Province to take precautions and reminding the public to pay attention to the situation.

Even so, the Sina President Office still received several stressful calls. The situation was relieved when a higher-level medical expert team went to Yangcheng.

Fang Zhuo didn't know if CCTV was under pressure. Anyway, he contacted the director he knew and failed to make an appointment, which meant that things were very busy.

On December 6, more official media, media, and websites began to pay attention to the situation in Yangcheng. According to a wider range of judgments, the disease existed in Yangcheng in November.

Now we are trying to find the first case for better research, treatment, protection and tracking.

Against this background, Sina website published another headline, reminding everyone to be wary that Yangcheng may not be just an endemic disease, but to be careful in the wider area.

However, such remarks are less harsh than the initial release.

Fang Zhuo was sitting at the Sina headquarters, silently observing the changes in the situation, and communicating with hospitals in Guangdong Province through the registration network in a timely manner.

He asked Sina to open a special column on the homepage of the website and pay close attention to relevant information.

At the same time, after discussion at the meeting, Sina President asked everyone to be prepared to work from home under certain circumstances.

On December 13, Sina concluded a performance summary meeting for 2002.

Wang Yan found the president after the meeting and said optimistically: "Mr. Fang, our fourth quarter financial report and full-year annual report should further stimulate the stock price. Everyone feels that Sina's stock price will have a better response."

"Well, this is inevitable." Fang Zhuo stopped reading the fax sent by the registration network working group and talked about a matter that was not discussed today, "Brother Wang, there is something I think it is necessary to communicate with you."

"Mr. Fang, tell me." Wang Yan looked serious.

"The development of Sina Hotline is obvious to all, and it will definitely have a bigger market." Fang Zhuo said, "But this market is not endless, and SP service providers are still restricted by China Mobile and China Unicom. This needs to be noted."

Wang Yan was a little hesitant after being splashed with cold water.

"Those who don't plan for the whole are not qualified to plan for a specific area." Fang Zhuo said, "There are many service providers on the market now. They use non-compliant information to seize the market. This area will inevitably be included in the supervision."

"Sina is the best portal website in the industry, but it is not the best SP service provider in the industry. TOM.com is the first."

"And what about us? There are also NetEase and Sohu behind us."

"Mr. Wang, we can't indulge in SP business. The competitiveness it brings to Sina is not core enough. There is a certain degree of substitutability."

"The spring of the Internet is here. Spring is a time for a hundred schools of thought. We at Sina must continue to strengthen our core competitiveness to go further."

Fang Zhuo took out two documents, one is the market analysis of SP business, and the other is "Blog China" founded by Fang Xingdong in August this year.

Wang Yan looked carefully and found that his recent energy is to continue to lead Sina Hotline to expand the market along the direction opened up by Fang Zhuo, and competitors are not paying enough attention.

"Mr. Fang, you just poured cold water on me, and now you're bringing up another acquisition intention?"

Wang Yan was a little stunned. He closed the first document and said while reading the second one: "Our Sina's own SP business is very good. Yangcheng Xunlong is certainly not bad either. Do we need to talk about it?"

"I am pouring cold water on you, but the SP business can still provide us with profits for a long time. We need to convert profits into resources and power for Sina's progress." Fang Zhuo replied, "There is a part of the reason for the acquisition of Xunlong for integration."

He hesitated for a moment, and still said bluntly: "Another part of the reason is to use it to stimulate the stock price. The stock market likes such news."

The SP business is a field that can bring direct income. If you do it, there will be cash inflow.

A leading domestic portal website, its stock price has entered a period of leading the rise. It is focusing on the SP business. At this time, acquiring and integrating related resources will show a better future.

This kind of acquisition is an action that can excite the stock market.

Wang Yan turned his mind and vaguely knew what the president was thinking, but he was still a little hesitant: "Xunlong is not small in size, and the price is not cheap."

"It should be not too small, not too big or too small, just right." Fang Zhuo smiled, "It's not cost-effective if it's too big, and it won't work if it's too small."

He paused and continued: "Or you can change to a similar SP service provider. The purpose is Sina's stock price. In addition, the timing of releasing this news should be after our 2002 annual report."

Wang Yan saw that the president had considered it carefully.

"You will be in charge of this matter. Keep it confidential for now." Fang Zhuo lowered his voice a little, "This action can be considered to communicate with several directors. It's the time for them to leave."

Wang Yan's heart trembled. Is it the time for them to leave or to exchange the time for them to leave? Use one action to stimulate the stock price, and then further strengthen the control over Sina?

It is said that the former president Mr. Mao is a good hand at capital operation, and this Mr. Fang doesn't look bad either.

Fang Zhuo hasn't finished yet.

He poured a glass of water and turned off the call on his phone: "If Xunlong can raise Sina's price to a suitable level, we should consider issuing additional shares, so that we can be more confident."

What's good about listed companies?

Listed companies can directly get money from the secondary trading market, which is not a small amount.

Unlisted companies can only find banks and financial institutions, and the conditions may be relatively harsh and the cost is relatively high.

Listed companies are different.

First, turn losses into profits to start the rise of Sina's stock price, then use an acquisition to continue to stimulate the stock price and clear out people, and finally issue additional shares to raise funds based on the rising stock price.

This is a combination of punches.

Wang Yan tasted the essence of it... Mr. Fang thinks twice before thinking, and he won't transfer the company's assets in the end.

"Mr. Fang, well, you are very thoughtful." He expressed admiration.

"Just know it." Fang Zhuo glanced at Wang Yan and promised, "Next June, you will take this office and I will go to the chairman's office."

Wang Yan understood that this was the condition given to him by the president. Whether it was during this period or in the foreseeable future, he and Mr. Fang were bound together.

He nodded, feeling quite excited. This outlined a gratifying scene for Sina's stock price. This was not an increase in assets, but a surge in capital!

"What about that document? What do you feel after reading it?" Fang Zhuo calmly plotted a little, pursed his lips, and motioned the CEO to look at the second document again.

Wang Yan had just read it, and this time he read it again and said, "It's a good idea. Is this also going to be acquired? What's new?"

Blog China was founded in August. The founder Fang Xingdong translated "Blog" into "Blog" for the first time.

Fang Zhuo shook his head: "A new sign is not enough to stimulate Sina's stock price. The stock market wants the short-term status quo or the profitability that can be seen in the future."

"Does Mr. Fang think this can be done?" Wang Yan asked doubtfully.

"In fact, before the third document about blogs was printed, I had seen quite a few blogs in the United States when I was in New York." Fang Zhuo introduced calmly, "This form has been around for a long time, but it developed very quickly after 9/11."

9/11 is a national scar memory for the United States, and it needs a channel to vent and express emotions.

Therefore, a new word for blog was born: WarBlog, war blog.

Many Americans write about the fragility of life and communication between people on the Internet, especially the blogs of 911 survivors, which have attracted the most attention.

This is how the blog boom trend came about.

Fang Zhuo witnessed the situation on the Internet in New York. Now that he is back in China and has Sina in his hands, it is impossible for him not to pay attention to this area.

"Portal websites are for information browsing. From the website as a whole to individuals, this is the demand for information."

"But is there a demand for interaction between individuals?"

"Yes, and it is very large."

Fang Zhuo pointed to the file: "This person's Blog China has great potential, but there is no rush. Blogs are not known to most people in China. We will enter the market after he develops them."

Blog China can tap into people's potential needs, but as a company, it also faces the problem of profit sources.

What's more, Blog China has been making mistakes.

Fang Zhuo felt that there was no need to rush into the market. It was better to do a good job in Sina's current business and raise the stock price first.

Sina's president and CEO had an extensive discussion on the future of Sina.

Fang Zhuo waited until Wang Yan left before returning the previous missed call.

"Hey, Xinjie, you were busy before, what's up?"

"Oh, the car is coming soon? Just pull it to Hang Lung 23, I'll let them take over."

"Okay, okay, thank you Xinjie, come to Sina when you are free, I've been here recently."

Fang Zhuo roughly guessed what it was when he saw the number. Sure enough, the car that he asked Xu Xin, the president of Today Capital, to help buy arrived.

The reward for winning Sina before was the best car in the world.

Fang Zhuo is a man of his words. After learning about it, he decided to buy a Ferrari Enzo (ENZO) that was newly released this year.

However, Enzo is a limited edition, with a total of 400 cars in the world, one car was dedicated to God, and the purchase requirement for the remaining 399 cars is that you already own 2 Ferraris.

Its price is 670,000 US dollars.

Fang Zhuo really didn't know anyone around him who had the conditions to buy it. After asking around, Xu Xin could get someone to buy it from Hong Kong and then transfer it to him, so he did it.

If nothing goes wrong, this will be the first Ferrari in Shanghai and the only Enzo in the mainland.

Fang Zhuo was originally excited about this, but with the pressure of the past few days, he only had the thought of "the car will arrive when it arrives".

After hanging up Xu Xin's call, Yu Hong, who had returned to New York, called again and talked about a new brand spokesperson.

Yao Ming, the No. 1 draft pick who landed in NAB this year, signed a six-year contract to become the brand spokesperson of Yike. He did not ask for too high a price because he was also from Shanghai.

Compared with the previous news, Fang Zhuo was much happier about this. Well, he must shoot an interesting advertisement for Yao Ming listening to mp3.
