Reinventing the Millennium

Thump thump thump thump.

The sound of footsteps came from far to near.

Boom boom.

knocking.

"Please come in."

"Something happened to the company?" Marketing Director Yu Hong went straight to Fang Zhuo behind the desk as soon as she entered the president's office. She put one hand on the table and spoke quickly.

Fang Zhuo asked calmly: "Did Yang Wan tell you?"

"The phone call said there was a situation in Jinmen, and he said you had settled it." Yu Hong said seriously, "He couldn't explain clearly in a few words."

Fang Zhuo talked about the situation while drinking tea, not only what happened in Jinmen, but also his phone call with Zheng Danrui.

"How will Team Leader Zheng solve the problem?" Yu Hong had already relaxed after listening to the first half of the sentence, and gave another emotion similar to Fang Zhuo's, "Team Leader Zheng is really good to us."

"I don't know, maybe I'll find an acquaintance to say hello. Speaking of which, we don't know what the background of Zheng Danrui's family is. His position alone is very powerful." Fang Zhuo has thought about it carefully for a while, "That 'Internet Medical' Chen Xing is a relative of the leader, and maybe Zheng Danrui is too."

Yu Hong poured herself a cup of tea and took a sip: "You keep talking about the leader of the promotion and application team. What level is he as a leader?"

"This group was officially established this year and is located under the National Informatization Leading Group, but I guess it should be a seconded department." Fang Zhuo also guessed, "But Zheng Danrui used to be the deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, and now If you are seconded and have good political performance, you are not allowed to move up a level?"

"Is the deputy director at the deputy department level?" Yu Hong didn't quite understand this.

"Well, it's very powerful. It is the absolute backbone of ministries and commissions, especially high-profile departments like the National Development and Reform Commission..." Fang Zhuo hesitated, "Thinking about it this way, this promotion and application team is even more powerful. Otherwise, Zheng Danrui would not have left the original department. But he must have similar results, and there may be a lot of people watching."

Yu Hong smiled and said, "Is it really that powerful?"

Buzz buzz.

The phone vibrates on the table.

A text message from "Cao Cao".

Fang Zhuo clicked on it and looked at it. After thinking for a while, he said: "Team Leader Zheng asked us to prepare the company's materials and models to apply for a project honor."

"Then it's not about greeting acquaintances as you just guessed. It's about giving us a name through formal channels? It's not personal, but business?" Yu Hong analyzed.

Fang Zhuo smacked his lips and said nothing.

Yu Hong said strangely: "This is a good thing, why do you react like this?"

"Project honors... are definitely good." Fang Zhuo considered, "I'm afraid it won't be easy to get out if you get involved."

Yu Hong thought for a moment of the judgment that her boss had insisted on from the beginning to now. She was silent for a moment before asking: "Are you thinking about how to get out? After the second round? Hold on until the third round? Is there really no future for the registration website? ?”

"If you can't charge for ordinary registration, please tell me, marketing director, how can I have a future?" Fang Zhuo asked with a smile.

As soon as Yu Hong said these words, she knew that she was unwilling to do so. The registration network, the registration network, the most basic business could not charge fees, and its business logic would not be self-consistent.

At the very least, I can’t imagine how to be consistent with myself.

"I can't escape. I just like to have this kind of freedom by myself. Now I don't really want to leave the website to others." Fang Zhuo said lightly, "But there is a premise. If the M1 project is successful, we will have more resources." money to support the operation of the registration network.”

He continued: "If the registration network can operate for five, six, seven or eight years, it will have the kind of future you expect."

"Why?" Yu Hong asked.

"Because the network environment will be very different, the computer foundation will be very different." Fang Zhuo said firmly.

Yu Hong smiled bitterly and said, "Why do I feel more pessimistic?"

"Director Xiao Yu, I personally suggest that you should pay more attention to the M1 project. As for the registration network, it is actually not that pessimistic." Fang Zhuo stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window to browse the Huangpu River below. "If another person were to take charge of the registration network, , it may be famous for a while like many groundbreaking websites of this era, but it will disappear in the rapidly changing Internet era within a few years.”

Fang Zhuo continued without looking back: "I have used the 20 million in the first round of financing very restrainedly. According to the current situation, the probability of us financing the second round is very high. The money from the round will be used to purchase land assets for the registration network."

"Land?" Yu Hong asked.

"The land is appreciating, and its appreciation can effectively maintain the vitality of the registration network. If Team Leader Zheng can give an honor to the project, I estimate that I can squeeze out a lot of conveniences in this area." Fang Zhuo turned around and smiled slightly, "These words Don’t tell anyone else, not even Teacher Xiao Su.”

Yu Hong pursed her lips tightly and nodded slowly.

"Okay, let's go do the work. I've forwarded Team Leader Zheng's text message to you." Fang Zhuo smiled brightly, "Don't be pessimistic, don't be negative. If you really want to be pessimistic and negative, I, the major shareholder, should be the one to do it. "

Yu Hong looked at the boss's smiling face, sighed, and said sincerely: "Sometimes, I really admire you. If I had done something that I thought had little hope from the beginning, I would not be able to laugh. come out."

"Go and work. It's quite free. You don't care whether others laugh or not." Fang Zhuo pointed to the watch in the office. "You can work overtime tonight and I will send it to Team Leader Zheng tonight."

"Okay!" Yu Hong made her tone deliberately relaxed. The boss made sense. He, the major shareholder, should be worried about future development.

…

Established in the fourth quarter of 2000.

In the first quarter of 2001, it swept across East China.

If the initial registration network first appeared at the Lin'an meeting, it mostly relied on Fang Zhuo's words. He described the non-existent booming construction to the deputy mayor and showed his political and business connections to the venture capital...

But now, the online number sources released by the registration network are basically filled with patients from all over the world every day, especially in popular hospitals, where demand exceeds supply.

Admittedly, this is because Guahao.com is more cautious in the proportion of online number sources it uses, and also because the number of IP number sources directed from other places is limited every day.

But it still proves that such a website is solving the common registration cost problem for patients. Once everyone knows a more efficient online registration method, the spread will be greatly increased.

At the end of April 2001, Guahao.com received its second honor after being the first to win the honor of Lin'an's Advanced Unit of the Year - one of the three "first batch of national-level Internet innovation industry enterprises".

Fang Zhuo didn't know if it was due to his ignorance. He had never heard of such an honor in his previous life, but he quickly realized the blessing under such a halo.

Just two days later, a call from the Luzhou Municipal Office came on my mobile phone.

"Hello, Mr. Fang, there is a selection of outstanding units in our city. Can you fax the company information over here?"

"Also, the city is very interested in Guahao.com's second round of financing. When can you come back to Luzhou at a convenient time to have a chat? This is also to support the development of your hometown."

After Fang Zhuo hung up the phone after some polite greetings, he realized that he had underestimated the strength of the support.
