Reinventing the Millennium

On July 3, Fang Zhuo arrived at Sina for the third time after taking up his duties and accomplished two things.

To be precise, two things were completed in half a day in the morning.

The first is communication with Wang Yan.

The second is to determine his own office.

Perhaps because there are too many things in Sina, or perhaps because everyone at Sina does not welcome a leader who comes in for no reason, the new vice president's office has not been arranged.

Based on his own understanding, Fang Zhuo believed it was the former, so he personally selected an office in Sina that originally belonged to Duan Yongji's co-chairman.

He thought that since this office would not be used for the time being, he would first use it as the office of his Sina Vice President and Sina Hotline President.

Fang Zhuohe asked for the removal of the office sign in a friendly manner. Even when the other party refused on the grounds of "not receiving the notice," he did not get angry. He went to the HR department according to the procedure, was rejected again, and finally went to the chairman and president.

In this way, after a whole morning of hard work, Fang Zhuo got an office.

As for the actions of this young outsider, Sina employees looked on with cold eyes, and there were many people who laughed at Fang Zhuo in private for being impatient and stingy.

But no matter what, Duan Yongji's office was marked with Fang Zhuo's name.

It seems that this office has been occupied by Fang for at least two months.

That afternoon, after securing his own office space, the vice president of Sina did not appear again. He remembered his own son again and held a high-level meeting of Yike in Beijing after a month.

President Yike listened to reports on the domestic market at this meeting.

As of the end of June, Yike's product line still has no rivals in China. Lenovo's wrong product strategy has prevented it from causing a splash in the market. However, this rapidly developing field has also attracted the attention of more brands.

The challenge launched by Lenovo failed, and more brand manufacturers are ready to enter the game after understanding the technical threshold.

Fang Zhuo made a judgment at the meeting that the country will soon usher in fierce competition, so everyone should be prepared - of course, Yike can still continue to enjoy a wave of first-mover and brand dividends.

By the way, Fang Zhuo announced an appointment near the end of the meeting. Tang Shangde, deputy director of the marketing department, was promoted to vice president and will be responsible for a wider range of product markets across the country.

Tang Shangde received congratulations from everyone. There is no doubt that this is the continued promotion from the boss.

That night, Fang Zhuo did not attend the dinner invited by Tang Shangde. He had more important things to deal with.

Nearing the early hours of the morning, the communication between Fang Zhuo and Su Wei was completed. The company will conduct procedural and financial investigations. This matter will be conducted in secret, and how to deal with it will be decided depending on the results.

In addition, according to reports from overseas Yu Hong, the company's music copyright contacts have made some progress.

Considering the importance of this matter, Fang Zhuo felt it was necessary to fly there, but he had to put the things at hand on track. Sina was like his godson. He had been involved in many battles during his freshman year, and he failed to train his godson. If you are good, you will probably have people pointing fingers behind your back.

On July 4, Fang Zhuo visited Sina headquarters again for two consecutive days.

He sat in his office, took the list given to him by Wang Yan, and began to exercise his duties.

Zou Xuelin is a business executive with rich experience from Sitong to Sina, and is also a loyal subordinate of former Sina co-chairman Duan Yongji.

The Sina situation was changing, and Duan Yongji was suddenly announced to be out in just over a month. This caught him off guard and at the same time he was deeply indignant.

As soon as he arrived at the company today, Zou Xuelin heard a voice on the intercom calling him to go to the vice president's office. He knocked on the door aggressively and entered.

This scene fell into the eyes of Sina employees, who were all waiting to see the joke.

Zou Xuelin was promoted by Duan Yongji and has been publicly praised many times. He has a very tough temper and is destined to have a good show.

Sure enough, people came in at half past eight, and at eight thirty-two they could hear loud arguments in the office. At eight-thirty-five, two people came out dragging each other's arms.

Sina employees watched the two men hurriedly enter Mao Daolin's president's office with pale faces, and then heard faint quarrels again.

At 8:45, Fang Zhuo came out of the president's office with an angry look on his face and went into his office.

"Look, it's hard on me."

"This Fang Zhuo has made a big joke. Old Zou doesn't care about any mess when his temper gets angry."

Just as everyone was looking at the vice president's office and talking a lot, another department head received an internal call from Fang Zhuo. The time was 8:46.

Everyone watched in astonishment as another middle-level member of the Duan family, Zhao Pingjian, walked into the office, and suddenly felt that things were not as simple as imagined.

There was no quarrel this time. Zhao Pingjian walked out in just five minutes, bringing out the conversation between him and Fang Zhuo.

——"Zhao Pingjian, right?"

——"Yes, Mr. Fang."

——"You also came to Sina from Sitong. Duan Yongji trusts you very much and you support him very much, right?"

--silence.

——"Duan Yongji's people don't even dare to admit it. Are they such cowards?"

——"Mr. Fang, if you insist on labeling an employee who works hard, you can. I am Mr. Duan's employee."

——"OK, you have been dismissed from your position at Sina Hotline. Go to the Human Resources Department to wait for transfer or further solutions."

--silence.

——"Zhao Pingjian, do you also want to go to the CEO's office with me and stay there and let Mr. Mao persuade you?"

——The conversation ends.

The conversation that came out of Zhao Pingjian's mouth shocked everyone, and some even thought it was a deliberate exaggeration.

However, the third middle-level employee who entered the office and walked out in a shorter time once again confirmed this communication process.

There was an uproar.

Does Fang Zhuo think that he can do whatever he wants after joining Sina?

Does Fang Zhuo think that his behavior can win people's hearts?

Just after the fourth person was dismissed in this way, even Sina CEO Wang Yan couldn't sit still and hurriedly walked into the vice president's office.

"Uh, Mr. Fang, hey, Mr. Fang!"

As soon as Wang Yan entered the door, he saw Fang Zhuo holding the landline phone in his hand, and quickly stopped him: "Mr. Fang, wait, wait!"

"Oh, Brother Wang, what's the matter?" Fang Zhuo put down the phone first.

Wang Yan looked at Fang Zhuo, who looked upright, and was a little uncomfortable with his statement: "That's right, Mr. Fang, have you started working officially today?"

Fang Zhuo shook the list in his hand: "Yes, Brother Wang, isn't this the name you gave me? This is the task today."

"Yes, what I gave you is correct, but half a day has not passed and you have directly adjusted the positions of four people. Is this our method..." Wang Yan blinked and strongly hinted, "Should we be gentler? ?”

Fang Zhuo's eyes widened and he said, "Are you questioning the working methods of a CEO of a $200 million company?"

Wang Yan: "..."

"Ha, just kidding." Fang Zhuo looked at the CEO's expression and smiled, "It's just complicated things being simplified."

Wang Yan couldn't help complaining: "Mr. Fang, you are making a complicated matter rough!"

"Don't worry about whether it's rough or not, just say it's effective or not, right?" Fang Zhuo took out the second list, asking Wang Yan to add a list that he thought could be used or had potential.

Wang Yan is too young, only 29 years old. Even if the Internet industry is generally younger, this age is still not enough for him to cultivate many people who belong to his faction.

"It's effective...the position is vacant...the problem is that the one at the top may not be able to do well."

The CEO of Sina was very troubled. He never expected that Fang Zhuo would work like this. Not only was he gentle and elegant as he imagined, but at the very least, he had to take everyone's emotions into consideration!

He continued to persuade: "Mr. Fang, there is no problem with their work. You want to adjust slowly. If you change your position so rudely because of Duan Yongji, you won't win the hearts of the people."

Fang Zhuo stood up and poured a glass of water for the CEO: "Political struggle is about the butt."

He himself took a sip of water and said seriously: "Brother Wang, the human heart at work, I will teach you this kind of thing."

"With the situation I'm facing now, people's priorities have to be pushed back a little bit."

“What is my top priority right now?”

"Let the Sina Hotline car move. I don't care who is blocking the road now or may be blocking the road. Get out of the way."

Fang Zhuo said calmly: "Wireless value-added services are an incremental market, a rapidly developing market, and an area where results can be seen quickly."

"Brother Wang, Mr. Wang, remember, in this kind of incremental and rapidly developing market, the biggest people are those who can move, keep up, and lead."

"The words of a few people and the thoughts of some people will be drowned by the rapid development."

Fang Zhuo asked seductively: "Do you understand?"

Wang Yanzhen saw the domineering and self-confidence of the president of a $200 million company.

He half-suspiciously smiled bitterly and said: "Let other people temporarily fill the vacancy. What should I do if something goes wrong at work?"

Fang Zhuo pointed to himself and asked, "Who am I?"

"Vice President of Sina, President of Sina Hotline." Wang Yan said honestly.

"No." Fang Zhuo didn't want this answer. "I'm the president of a US$200 million company. Do you know what this means?"

Wang Yan doesn’t understand. Does that mean you are rich? Are you very capable? Can you make Sina employees quickly identify with you?

Seeing that the Sina CEO couldn't answer, Fang Zhuo waved his hand: "You will know today. Go out, I have to work."

Wang Yan stood up helplessly, and after taking two steps, he suddenly felt like he was facing Duan Yongji's co-chairman before.

Before he left the office, he heard the sound of the landline being picked up from behind him.

Obviously, Mr. Fang will stick to his stubborn, rough and unreasonable work style.

At 9:15 a.m., the fifth employee walked into the office of Sina's new vice president.

Everyone gave him sympathetic looks.

Throughout the morning, a total of six key employees were reassigned. Zou Xuelin, who had the hottest temper, couldn't stand this arrogance. Even with President Mao Daolin's statement, he did not compromise.

Zou Xuelin gathered the other five key members. Without making a fuss, he just asked his colleagues to move their seats. They sat blankly across from the vice president's office.

Anyone passing by could see these six employees who were not working, and became more aware of the unfair treatment they suffered, and sympathized with them.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the seventh person called in through the intercom was beyond everyone's expectation. It was Duan Cheng, a graduate who had just joined the company less than half a year ago.

"Duan Cheng has thick eyebrows and big eyes, but he didn't expect that he is also the chairman?"

"Yeah, I really didn't expect that he is usually unknown."

"Tsk, given Fang Zhuo's work style, Chairman Duan will definitely be back in two months!"

Many people expressed surprise and made judgments.

Duan Cheng himself walked into the office with fear.

"Duan Cheng, um, take a seat." A voice came from behind the desk in the office. The vice president was looking at a document.

Duan Cheng sat down on the sofa a little aggrieved. After waiting for a while, the leader didn't speak. He finally couldn't help but said: "Fang, Mr. Fang, although my surname is Duan, I'm not... that, that... …”

Fang Zhuo was a little surprised and put down the resume of the person in front of him and asked: "Do you have this stuttering all the time or when you are nervous?"

Duan Cheng suppressed his blush: "Tight, tight, nervous."

He shook his head quickly and took two deep breaths before saying, "No, Mr. Fang, I don't stutter!"

"Oh." Fang Zhuo understood and said gently, "Duan Cheng, I read your profile. You are excellent both in character and academics. I hope you can shine in the SP SMS business group in the future. Do you understand what I mean? "

Duan Cheng was stunned.

Then, he asked: "Mr. Fang, do we have a SP SMS business group?"

"Yes, it will be established tomorrow." Fang Zhuo said with a smile, "This is the key department of Sina Hotline in the future. If you were recruited during the two years of the Internet bubble, you are very capable. Don't be constrained by some bullshit personnel relationships. .”

He continued: "Young people, who are not active in their careers and have brain problems, remember, get out."

Duan Cheng walked out of the office a little confused.

As soon as I returned to my workstation, I was surrounded by enthusiastic seniors, asking about the conversation inside.

This time the conversation was unexpected, but not favored.

Is this something a normal person can do by removing the backbone and favoring the newcomers?

How did Fang Zhuo succeed?

In an atmosphere of ridicule, worry and drama, in the evening, a group of people from afar arrived at Sina headquarters, preparing to report to their boss.

"Hi, Sister Xu, long time no see."

"Old Liu, I'll treat you to dinner tonight."

"I heard that Brother Zhou has been promoted, congratulations!"

Among this group of people, there was a lively person who ignored the shocked and complicated eyes of his former colleagues and greeted them all the way to the door of the Sina Vice President's office.

"Last time I came here, I was still an employee of Sina. I didn't expect that even after changing the boss, I still couldn't avoid Sina."

Zhang Shenghui, the former wireless project manager who resigned from Sina and was re-employed, knocked on the office door with emotion.

A group of key personnel transferred from Shencheng Yike Technology walked into the boss's re-employment office.

The six core members of the protest looked at each other, dumbfounded, while other employees' discussions were like a heat wave sweeping through the entire company.

After receiving the news, Wang Yan was stunned in his office for a long time, and suddenly understood the answer to Fang Zhuo's previous question.

What does it mean to be president of a $200 million company?

It means that people have their own foundation!

There was a party last night, these are two chapters from yesterday.
