Reinventing the Millennium

“Tuanbao.com is one week late in paying merchants in Yantai.”

"It has now been resolved and no problems have been found elsewhere for the time being."

"Kupin.com is suspected of being short of funds and has temporarily stopped recruiting new employees."

Xiong Xiaoge sat in the CEO office of Hang Lung 23 and read out the market information research from Mi Tuan.

He came back from the United States this time. He first helped Wei Zhe stabilize his mentality, then returned to the capital to arrange affairs, and now he is here to handle the financing of Mi Tuan.

"Tuanbao.com, which has the largest market share, actually defaults on payment to merchants?" Xiong Xiaoge noticed the important information.

Fang Zhuo smiled and said: "It is said to be a system problem."

Xiong Xiaoge was naturally not afraid to speculate on his competitors with the worst possible intentions. He did not believe this official rhetoric and continued to ponder: "Yantai's business scale will definitely not be too big. If a city like this has financial problems, This is an extremely unhealthy sign.”

Fang Zhuo was noncommittal: "Maybe."

"Don't worry." Xiong Xiaoge glanced at Mr. Fang who was there.

"It's not my business. Lei Jun + Sun Tongyu + several consultants including Wei Zhe and Liu Qiangdong. It's too tiring for me to study it in detail." Fang Zhuo said casually.

The lineup is already very luxurious, plus part of the local promotion team of Yike and Ali, they are extremely capable from the inside out.

Of course, this does not mean that with enough people, the project can be completed. An important running-in issue depends only on Lei Jun's attitude in recent days. He has noticed it and is taking it seriously.

Xiong Xiaoge is also confident in the configuration mentioned by Mr. Fang.

However, he had something special to ask today: "How many unknown institutions did Mi Tuan raise money for this time? Where did they find it?"

Fang Zhuo glanced at Lao Xiong: "Isn't this money just money? You care a lot."

"It's worthy of my concern." Xiong Xiaoge said seriously.

"Benefit distribution." Fang Zhuo said simply and straightforwardly.

"What if the rice dumplings don't succeed?" Xiong Xiaoge asked.

"Then you have to ask Lei Zi." Fang Zhuo shrugged, "It's not what I did."

"Investment is risky..." Xiong Xiaoge said with the most correct understanding, "Instead of investing in a project like rice dumplings that has not yet succeeded, it is better..."

Fang Zhuo took over the words with a smile: "It is better to buy shares of Yike or Sina. If you are ambitious, you can also invest in Bingxin. Anyway, Tesco will not raise funds and has already started to go public."

This is an open channel to make money through financial management. You don’t need to ask Fang Zhuo for advice. If you want to invest, you can just buy it directly in the secondary market.

As for real estate, Yongke has been taken over by Liu Suyi. If you want to do it, go to him.

As for the current Mi Tuan, Yike participated in the investment, but it will never be in the pocket. Chairman Lei Jun and lead investor Xiong Xiaoge are responsible for it.

Xiong Xiaoge frowned slightly and soon relaxed. Mr. Fang brought himself in to prevent troubles. But, having said that, there are always troubles everywhere, such as the establishment of Bingxin and SMIC. We have attracted a number of world-renowned foreign-funded institutions to resolve audits and reduce policy risks.

He sighed: "You really care about feathers at this time. Oh yes, will your SMIC shares be sold?"

"The shares are not moving." Fang Zhuo shook his head.

In order to help stabilize SMIC's situation, he and Datang worked together to obtain SMIC shares through private placement. Now that SMIC's development situation has stabilized, Fang Zhuo will only retain the shares as Jiang Shangzhou said, not the shares. Director seats.

Of course, the cooperation between the two parties has not stopped, and the Wafer Service Alliance still plays a role. On the contrary, because of SMIC's "backwardness", its role has increased.

Many of the equipment needed by Ice Core can only be purchased from abroad, and there is no domestic replacement at all. SMIC can provide quotas in this regard.

As for this shareholding, Fang Zhuo must admit his current influence. It is not easy for SMIC to be stable, so it is better not to cause trouble to others.

Xiong Xiaoge's thoughts were spinning very quickly. He considered the relevant situation and then turned his thoughts to the Ali blacklist incident: "Does Mr. Ma really hate you this time? Did you two quarrel?"

Fang Zhuo rolled his eyes: "Why do you say this and that, why does he hate me? Ali's iron army is indeed very powerful, but it is limited to this. At most, Mr. Ma has It’s just a little bit of a pity.”

Xiong Xiaoge instantly understood what Mr. Fang meant.

Because Yike has a similar team, he particularly recognizes Ali Tiejun's professional abilities, but for others, Ali Tiejun, who has little exposure, is just that.

Even for Ma Ren, the B2B business with limited growth supports such a group of people, and it would be too small. If the group buying market really shines, it may be a pity for him.

"You two didn't quarrel? You shouldn't, or has he blocked you directly?" Xiong Xiaoge maintained strong curiosity.

"Get up, Old Xiong. When you need to get busy investing, go get busy investing. I have other things to do here." Fang Zhuo opened the drawer and sent a gift to the guest, "Here, I'll give you a box of Longjing. I'll find you when I'm free." of."

Xiong Xiaoge took the tea and said dissatisfied: "You said it was okay just now."

Fang Zhuo pulled out a document and said perfunctorily: "There is something, there is something."

Xiong Xiaoge stood up and said: "Then I plan to introduce you to the people from China Mobile when you are free and I will introduce them again. We can't delay President Fangda's business."

Fang Zhuo put the document back, smiled brightly, stood up and stretched out his hand again: "Mr. Xiong, please sit down, please sit down quickly, otherwise Xiong is always the number one investor in China. He has a wide network of contacts."

This is something he asked Xiong Xiaoge to help pay attention to before.

Because Yike needs to cooperate with operators, although it has reached an investment relationship with China Unicom, Fang Zhuo still hopes that someone familiar with the relevant situation will check it.

Xiong Xiaoge didn't show off, he was mainly happy to see President Fangda's attitude change.

Regarding the candidate Liao Zhitang, he felt that he met the requirements very well. He had working experience in China Unicom for a considerable period of time, and was later transferred to China Mobile and then to the subsidiary. Now he is the deputy general manager of the subsidiary.

"Yi Xin needs people there. How about we let Zhang Xiaolong and the others come forward first, and then wait until they are almost done talking, and then I show up again?" Fang Zhuo asked for his opinion.

Xiong Xiaoge smiled and said: "No problem, Mr. Fang has to be the villain who shows up in the end."

Fang Zhuo glanced at Lao Xiong and decided to ignore his unintentional mistake and return his attention to the business report document.

The harvest this month is pretty good.

Group buying is making progress, Yixin is increasing its promotion, and preparations for new machines are also going smoothly.

Fang Zhuo thought about it for a while. If he started projects related to the ecology such as Yixin and group buying, he could retire early. Whether it was talents with names and surnames in his mind, or executives in the company who had experienced through the projects, they On a very good basis, it must be able to support the operation of the company.

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly thought that the fire in the Netherlands had not yet been set off, and he couldn't help but feel sad.

Who would be willing to prepare for arson if they could?

If possible, who would want to put Gasoline Man in Europe?

Fang Zhuo was filled with things in his mind again, thinking about the underlying competitiveness that supported Yike's products.

Yu Hong will be on stage in Silicon Valley next month. From the current internal optimization and test machine comparison, the performance of the ZR chip is in line with expectations. Although Qualcomm will make significant efforts in the second half of the year, this is a good foundation. .

As long as the Mars series of mobile phones are steadily iterated around the Zhurong chip, then...

Xiong Xiaoge was talking and found that Mr. Fang had no response. When he turned his head, he saw that the evil person's luster on the CEO's face was stronger than ever.

He raised his gaze slightly, and the four words "Henglong Hero" on it perfectly complemented Mr. Fang's expression.

"you……"

"I'm thinking that it's not easy to do things at different stages." Fang Zhuo came back to his senses, frowned, and said with emotion.

Xiong Xiaoge didn't ridicule this time, guessing that Mr. Fang might have felt something that he didn't know, but he still felt in his heart that the penguin horse that was competing with Yi Xin and the Ali horse that had just been shaken, They don't seem to have it easy either.

It is even more difficult, like Qingzi. With the ups and downs of the Qingzi, he has almost become a non-staff member of Yike Company.

"Keep making progress." Xiong Xiaoge said, "Oh yes, it's eight words now. What else is there? Mr. Fang is doing good."

Fang Zhuo showed a kind smile. He was not sure whether Lao Xiong meant his comment or was driving away one of China's number one investors again.

He really has a meeting.

…

Fang Zhuo refocused his energy on his core business and only planned to follow the progress of the group buying track by listening to reports.

However, he let Ali go, but Ali did not let him go.

The strange flow of Alibaba’s supply team was not concealed for too long, or in other words, it could not be concealed at all.

The boss and the spokesperson held a national meeting together, and three regional managers resigned the next day, six on the third day, and nine on the fourth day.

Regardless of the strange numerical patterns, this kind of resignation after the blacklisting is extremely abnormal, and it naturally attracts the attention of HR and senior executives.

But if you pay just a little attention, the giant with gravity cannot hide its figure.

Rice balls?

No, this is clearly Yike!

Ma Ren didn't have any objections, but the other executives thought about President Fang's visit last month, thought about President Fang's circle of friends, and thought about President Fang's methods of poaching people, so they expressed their dissatisfaction to the media.

In particular, the words of Peng Lei and Jiang Fang were not very pleasant to listen to. They involved some accusations of abnormal competition and business ethics.

Fang Zhuo actually thinks it's still acceptable. Some people have been questioning him. This time, it's just a senior executive from a friend's business. What can he do?

But Su Wei couldn't accept it, and she said she also wanted to find the media to express her opinions.

"Hey, it's okay. I still hope to complete the communication with Mr. Ma tacitly. I think Wei Zhe is working hard and wants to do things. It's not easy to make enemies at this juncture." Fang Zhuo persuaded.

"Then let Ma Chen explain it to them clearly." Su Wei was still dissatisfied.

Fang Zhuo thought for a moment and sent a message using Yixin to Sun Tongyu, who was running the market: Sun Caishen, take care of your wife, she is criticizing me in the media.

Sun Tongyu replied simply: That was his ex-wife.

Fang Zhuo said again: Then I will summon Sina reporters tomorrow, and my words will not sound good.

Sun Tongyu's reply this time was very warm: Mr. Fang, give me some face and affection.

Fang Zhuo showed the news to Su Wei.

"This pair, this pair..." Su Wei was speechless after seeing it, "What's going on with them? Look at this, it will be interesting in the future, what does it mean?"

"I can't tell, forget it, I'll call Mr. Ma directly." Fang Zhuo shook his head.

"I'm afraid they didn't have Ma Min's instructions for saying so." Su Wei said.

Fang Zhuo pondered and said: "No, the Eighteen Arhats still have some autonomy. In fact, Ma Ren has given Alibaba B2B and Taobao C2C a high level of autonomy. In recent years, they have only made strategic decisions. What's more, He is a business man, and Ali needs to be careful in his current situation."

Su Wei understood that Ma Chen's current situation may not be suitable for making too many enemies, not to mention that President Fangda sometimes feels like an enemy without making any.

"Just a small interview tomorrow. I told Mr. Ma before that this matter is still a matter of internal factors, and I have a clear conscience." Fang Zhuo said.

Su Wei hugged the man in front of her by the neck and said with a smile: "Yes, you have a clear conscience, you have a big heart."

Fang Zhuo grabbed Teacher Xiao Su with his backhand. He was used to the slight slander from people around him.

The next day, excited Sina reporters arrived at Hang Lung 23.

Sina's reporters in Shanghai have always lived a relatively comfortable life. This is not the headquarters, but it is better than the headquarters. From time to time, they can go to Hang Lung Building to eat, drink and do interviews.

Although this Ali incident was a little late, it finally came.

"Mr. Fang, how do you pick it up?" When the Sina reporter met the boss, he first asked about the interview posture.

"Just ask the question and I'll reply together." Fang Zhuo gave instructions.

When the Sina reporter heard this, he immediately raised the accumulated questions, such as Wei Zhe's undercover, Sun Tongyu's revenge, Moments' conspiracy, Sogou's use of Sogou, Yike's blacklist, Mr. Fang's return letter, and the Compliance Department's promotion of a plaque. , Ali was shaken up and down, Mi Tuan maliciously poached people, Peng Jiang angrily criticized...

This is called eloquent!

Fang Zhuo couldn't sit still as he listened. Why couldn't he stop talking?

"Ahem, nonsense!" Fang Zhuo gave the reporter a firm answer while drinking tea, "It's just normal competition. There are so many imaginary inside stories. Do you think we are making a movie? Last month, I was talking to Mr. Ma Drinking tea by the West Lake."

"If there are so many rumors from the outside world, Mr. Ma will not block me like another Mr. Ma. Let's just laugh about it and don't take it seriously."

"As for Ali's blacklist incident this time, there may be some flaws, but it is an imperfect but correct handling. Mr. Ma is already very good."

The Sina reporter was still waiting for the next step, but saw that the boss had already finished speaking.

"Mr. Fang, let's talk some more."

"Now that the attitude is here, you can take the report to Lin'an and interview Mr. Ma himself." Fang Zhuo handed over a task.

"Can I interview Mr. Ma?" a Sina reporter asked.

Fang Zhuo gave him a look of assurance.

Sure enough, under the guise of having already interviewed the head of Yike, the reporter successfully met Mr. Ma himself.

"Fang Zhuo has already been the chairman of Alibaba in front of the media once, will he do it again?" Ma Min mentioned Fang Zhuo's last response to the media.

"Mr. Fang said that Alibaba made an imperfect but correct handling. He also said that all the rumors on the market are nonsense, otherwise Mr. Ma would also block him." Sina reporter truthfully told the interview situation.

Not perfect but done right…

When Ma Chen heard such a comment, although he thought that the person named Fang was completely evil, he still felt that this summary was quite profound in his heart.

He was silent for a while and said with a smile: "There are too many false statements in the market. Mr. Fang is right. I will go to Shanghai to have tea with him next month. It's not that big of a deal."

Sina reporter asked: "Mr. Ma, I heard that Yike poached people from Alibaba. Is this normal?"

"We respect the whereabouts of our employees. As long as you are willing to do so, the flow of talents is normal." Ma Chen said without changing his expression.

"Including former CEOs like Sun Tongyu and Mr. Sun?" the reporter asked again.

Ma Chen said with a smile: "It's a good thing that Sun Tongyu can have a career he likes to do."

"Does it also include former presidents like Mr. Wei Zhe?" the reporter asked again.

Ma Chen was silent for two seconds and suddenly asked: "Is this what Fang Zhuo asked you to ask?"

The Sina reporter saw that Mr. Ma seemed to be getting angry and said quickly: "I added this myself."

"You reporters, the mutual admiration between Mr. Fang and I can easily be ruined by your gossip." Ma Jin said dissatisfied, "That's it, normal competition, not so many twists and turns."

He ended the interview, suspecting that Fang Zhuo wanted to include Wei Zhe, and that he was really thick-faced and sinister.

The series of related speculations will not stop, but the two leaders have given positive responses to the incident, speaking the same words, staying friendly, and not blaming each other at all, as if they have given an end.

This has also caused some people to fall into self-doubt. Are they thinking too much? Otherwise, you shouldn’t jump in this situation? Not allowed to fight each other? Not allowed to be blacklisted?

Was it really a wonderful encounter and a kind exchange?

It's just that people like Peng and Jiang simply don't understand the beauty and goodwill of Mr. Fang and Mr. Ma's values, that's all.
