Chapter 365: Stop It, Fang Zhuo (Two in One)

The weather in Shanghai in May is quite hot.

Occasionally, Fang Zhuo would go to the demolition site in Dongwukuai to inspect it. The bricks were hot to the touch, and he would sweat profusely after a little movement.

As for the gentleness towards the partners, he would keep it to himself for the time being in this weather, thinking that he would make it public when it starts to rain in Shanghai next month and it is difficult to travel.

Of course, this is only a small factor.

The main reason is that Professor Chen Jin is not in Shanghai, and he has gone to Beijing to apply for a project.

In order to avoid the professor flying out of the country with a guilty conscience due to the exposure of the incident, Fang Zhuo decided to wait for a while before triggering public opinion, and just take advantage of this time period to handle some procedural matters.

For example, Sina's general shareholders' meeting in early June.

This shareholders' meeting, not only all shareholders, but also the outside world seemed to know that it was another high-level handover.

If last year was a change in Sina's substantive power, this year is a complete change in name only.

Many directors, including the chairman, withdrew from the board of directors and left Sina. They have sold a considerable part of their shares and achieved financial freedom.

It is said that some will choose to do something more socially meaningful, while others will consider starting a second business.

Fang Zhuo said in a telephone conference call that those who are willing to start a business can consult him and he will provide reference opinions without reservation.

However, the telephone conference was full of "yes, yes, yes", and after two or three days after the end, no one came to ask.

Fang Zhuo believes that he needs to review the distance between himself and the masses, and also believes that the other party's entrepreneurship is likely to fail. After all, no one came to ask him, which shows that his vision is not good enough.

Sina's business is developing steadily, and its stock price is rising steadily with NetEase, becoming a beautiful scene in the US stock market.

However, NetEase's "Westward Journey 2" has achieved really good results, and it has a tendency to catch up.

This makes companies including Sina a little eager to move, and Shanda has announced that it will publicly test its self-developed "Legendary World" in July this year.

Fang Zhuo was a little hesitant about the suggestions in this regard. Sina has been outstanding in the media field in the past six months, but it has not been in the game field for a long time like NetEase and Shanda.

In other words, the game gene is somewhat lacking.

The current three major portals, Sina's media field, NetEase's game field, and Sohu's sports field, are all better than their peers.

Can Sina make good games?

Or, can the games made by Sina stimulate the stock price?

Fang Zhuo mainly considers the latter - he found that since Sina's stock price entered the rising period, he always thought about the impact of strategy on the stock price.

After a small-scale discussion, Sina still established a game department, but it was not for independent research and development, but for the introduction of foreign games.

In order to be responsible for the stock price and shareholders, Fang Zhuo has prepared a secret gift. After the general shareholders' meeting, he will focus on e-mail, and the next stage will be aimed at the introduction of games produced by Blizzard.

When BlogChina develops further and netizens are familiar with this model, it will be time for Sina to enter the market. This is a "traditional" field and cannot be let go.

This should be good for the company's stock price and shareholder interests, and it will also allow Fang Zhuo to sit firmly in the position of chairman of Sina's board of directors.

In early June, partner Professor Chen returned to Shanghai from Beijing, and he had several more impressive honorary titles on his head. Fang Zhuo flew from Shanghai to Beijing to attend the general shareholders' meeting of the listed company Sina.

Sina's shareholders' meeting is quite famous in the industry. Everyone still remembers what happened last year, and they admire Fang Zhuo, the head of Sina, for his judgment on the Internet industry.

However, despite the great changes in this year's shareholders' meeting, the overall atmosphere was very stable, and nothing messy happened.

The new chairman Fang Zhuo and the new president Wang Yan are the two highest leaders of the company. In principle, the former is responsible for controlling administrative power, and the latter is responsible for specific company affairs.

There were three changes in the board of directors. Jiang Fengnian, Mao Daolin and Wu Zheng no longer served as directors. They were replaced by company executives, and their shares became tradable shares.

It is worth mentioning that Duan Yongji, another major individual shareholder of the company, quietly cleared his holdings and disappeared from the list of top ten shareholders announced by Sina. He did not attend this year.

Times have changed, and a new generation has replaced the old.

However, whether Duan Yongji's liquidation or the departure of the three directors, their news did not cause waves in the media. Only the rise of Sina's stock price after the shareholders' meeting was reported.

Obviously, Fang Zhuo's succession as chairman was considered good news by the capital market.

Before leaving Beijing, Fang Zhuo met with two leaders who were not related to Sina's business, listened humbly to the official instructions on the development of medical science, and expressed that he would always promote the convenience of medical care for the general public as the company's route.

Given that he was very excited and there were important things to do in Shanghai, Fang Zhuo declined Sohu Zhang Chaoyang's invitation to dinner and flew back to Shanghai impatiently.

The media opinion was calm, Professor Chen Jin's whereabouts were confirmed, and the information and materials were ready. Now all that was left was to pick an auspicious day to uncover an astonishing scam.

Fang Zhuo was not a superstitious person, but he did look at the calendar and finally picked an auspicious day for Professor Chen, June 14th.

On this day, it is forbidden to travel and it is suitable for burial.

On June 11, Fang Zhuo was sitting in the CEO office of Hang Lung 23, thinking about the international situation and alien visitors, when a call suddenly came in from the front desk to bring him back to his senses.

"Mr. Fang, there is a reporter named Liang Mu who wants to see you."

"Didn't they all refuse the interview? No, they said I had a meeting scheduled."

Fang Zhuo turned over the news in his mind for a while, but he has not arranged any interviews in the near future. He even declined media cameras when he attended the shareholders' meeting in Beijing, just to consider some desensitization.

"He doesn't want to interview, he wants to write a book for you." The voice at the front desk was a little strange.

"No." Fang Zhuo made his final decision and hung up the phone, feeling very baffled.

However, half a day passed in the morning, and reporter Liang Mu still did not leave. He even found several connections to get someone to call President Yike.

Fang Zhuo received a call from Xu Changlun, the chief writer of Sina. He thought it would be impolite to turn him away directly, so he gave it a try and invited someone in.

Both parties shook hands and the guest of honor took his seat.

"What's the relationship between Reporter Liang and Lao Xu? Why do you have the idea of ​​writing a book for me? I'm not old enough to be published." Fang Zhuo came up and expressed his attitude.

"Xu Changlun is the hometown of my high school classmate. We met for dinner once." Liang Mu showed this relationship very honestly.

Fang Zhuo was stunned for a moment, then smiled and took a sip of tea.

Liang Mu continued to speak seriously: "Mr. Fang started from scratch. He first founded the medical department and had a long and difficult road. Unfortunately, he encountered policy changes. Later, he joined CCTV and obtained Yike's starting capital due to his outstanding performance. He successfully went global with his products. After competition in law, environment, and industry, Yike is thriving.”

"Then he won Sina by virtue of capital operation and became the most eye-catching leader of China Internet. Now he has entered real estate and successfully won the East Eight Blocks."

"Mr. Fang's experience is worthy of writing a book and a biography."

Fang Zhuo took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Reporter Liang, there is no need to flatter me. I have no plans for a biography now."

"I'm not flattering." Liang Mu was still serious, "Well, if just telling Mr. Fang's past experience is considered flattering, then I am indeed flattering."

Fang Zhuo smiled and said nothing.

Liang Mu added: "Besides, even if Mr. Fang doesn't have this intention, wouldn't there be no one on the market to write it? Not to mention things like 'Ten Sentences of the Richest Man in Shanghai' and biographies, I heard that there are Making it up."

Fang Zhuo raised his eyebrows.

Liang Mu took out a stack of materials from his briefcase, stood up and handed it to his desk.

Fang Zhuo flipped through it casually and frowned. This was indeed a random fabrication, and it felt like "two or three things that Mr. Fang had to say."

After he finished flipping through it, he suddenly asked: "Is this printed on A4 paper? Isn't it a book? Where did you get it?"

Liang Mu admitted generously: "I printed this out after I finished writing it. I just saw that some people wanted to write it, so I wrote it in advance and showed it to Mr. Fang. If it is not true, the falsehood will spread."

Fang Zhuo held a stack of papers with a strange look on his face. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Reporter Liang? Are you a reporter now?"

"No, I have resigned." Liang Mu replied.

Fang Zhuo was surprised: "You didn't come to me to find a job, right?"

"I can help Mr. Fang to show that he is listening. This is what I am willing to do at this stage." Liang Mu said calmly, "Being a reporter is not interesting. I plan to observe five figures in Huaxia Business every two years. Fang Zhuo It’s the first company president I’ve ever met.”

Fang Zhuo thinks this guy is a bit of a boaster. Does this mean he will resign as soon as two years are up?

However, with so many people in China, it is normal to have some unworldly aspirations.

Fang Zhuo hesitated for a few seconds and made a request: "What you finally write must be reviewed by me. Are there any questions?"

"I am willing to discuss the differences with Mr. Fang. I have already decided on the title of the book." Liang Mu said, "It will be called "Yike and Fang Zhuo in My Eyes"."

Fang Zhuo had a disagreement: "Your name doesn't sound good."

Liang Mu: "What does Mr. Fang mean?"

Fang Zhuo thought for a moment and said unwillingly, "Stop it, Fang Zhuo."

Liang Mu chewed the title of the book and replied: "Stop making trouble, Mr. Fang."

"No, as a person who wants to write a biography, haven't you ever read "Stop it, Mr. Feynman"? I don't dare to call you sir, so I'll just use my first name. Isn't this better than the name in your eyes? "Fang Zhuo spoke plausibly.

Liang Mu suddenly felt ashamed. He had never read the book Mr. Fang mentioned.

"If you think it's OK, then you'll join the President's Office today. If you think it's not OK, I'll treat you to a cup of tea. We have a meeting in the afternoon." Fang Zhuo insisted.

Liang Mu had no choice but to agree.

Therefore, Liang Mu, the former reporter of "China Business Daily" who had resigned for several months, successfully re-employed, and that night he carefully wrote down the title of the book - "Stop making trouble, Fang Zhuo".

By the way, write down the draft title of the first chapter - Fang Zhuo's Stubbornness.

His original intention was just to poke fun at Fang Zong's insistence on the title of the book, and it would not really be used as the title of the first chapter. Unexpectedly, it was decided to officially use it a few days later.

On June 14th, Shanghai, it was cloudy to light rain, 24~28℃.

On the third day after Liang Mu quickly joined the company, he came to Hang Lung 23 as usual. Just as he nodded to colleagues he didn't know, he saw many people whispering.

With his former professional sensibilities, he knew immediately that something was wrong.

Because of the relationship between Sina and Yikeqian, everyone at Yike almost always uses Sina to browse news. Therefore, it was not work time this morning. Many employees who arrived early habitually opened Sina and saw a bold news headline at the top. .

——The big lie about Hanxin!

Hanxin?

This word couldn't be more familiar. It has been covered in news all over the world recently, not only in newspapers and on the Internet, but also in the official media of CCTV.

Regarding self-developed chips, although everyone does not know how many advanced technologies are incorporated into them, they all know that it is a major breakthrough.

Moreover, Hanxin is located in Shanghai and has always been valued by this city, and the local media has promoted it very vigorously.

Is it a big lie?

Who told the big lie?

Wasn’t it approved by the expert group?

How could something like this be false?

Countless doubts emerged in the minds of people who saw the news. Everyone subconsciously thought it was impossible. How could a project with various honors be faked?

To put it another way, even if it is fake and may involve bragging about technology, it is not a big lie!

However, this top story is from Sina, which is quite outstanding in the field of recent news reporting.

There was a lot of discussion in Yike Company.

Liang Mu thought about the sensitivity of this Sina news, asked his colleagues, and found out that Mr. Fang had already arrived at the President's Office. He thought about it and decided to play his role as a biographer.

Boom, boom, boom.

Liang Mu walked into the CEO's office and saw Mr. Fang smoking.

"Mr. Fang, have you read Sina's news?" he asked.

Fang Zhuo frowned and replied: "I saw it, it's Hanxin's, right?"

Liang Mu used to be a reporter, and his grasp of news content is well-trained. He said: "This content is the tone of a member of the Hanxin project team, but there is no evidence. I'm afraid it's not good for Sina to stick it at the top like this?"

"Yes, there are risks, that's what they said." Fang Zhuo replied.

Liang Mu was stunned for a moment, savored some meaning, and asked: "Who decided to put this up?"

"I made the final decision. Sina received an email last night." Fang Zhuo said with a frown. "It was later forwarded to me. They were hesitant about how to verify it and whether to send it."

Liang Mu waited patiently.

"I said, send it. As for verification, leave it to professionals." Fang Zhuo confided in private, "Because I also have some doubts about this project."

Liang Mu was shocked, what a great guy, a big event happened right after he joined the company.

What did Fang always say just now?

Oh yes - "If you want to send it, send it to earth-shattering proportions!"

Out of professional ethics, Liang Mu polished the words used by the president a little in his mind, which was almost an objective description of the current situation.
