Reinventing the Millennium

Buzzer takeover.

Buzzer fundraising.

As the Spring Festival approaches, the former is basically finalized, and the latter seems to have no big problem under the enthusiastic recommendation of Sina's president.

What would a new social networking platform run by Sina personally look like?

In Wang Yan’s final introduction, Weibo has social attributes and also focuses on information dissemination.

Social networks are in line with the development trend of the Internet, and information dissemination is what Sina has been doing since its establishment.

“We have resources accumulated from the blogging business.”

“We have the best team in content operations in the country.”

“We have ample capital and investor partners.”

"Well, we still have Mr. Fang."

"So, Sina has great confidence in Weibo."

Wang Yan stood in the conference room and spoke freely. Sina has been preparing for this project for a long time.

When he finished summarizing, it was supposed to be the end of get off work, and even Fang Zhuo moved his buttocks to stand up, but Wang Xing suddenly stood up and talked enthusiastically about competition issues to the three investors.

As a loser, Wang Xing focused on the Sina project's situation in the face of Penguin traffic - this has always troubled Friends.

"Penguin has just acquired Friends.com, and it will definitely take time to integrate. This is one of them."

"Even if Penguin really wants to follow Weibo's trend, its three products, QQ Space, Dating Network, and Penguin Weibo, will use the same traffic pool. How will internal resources be allocated? How will they be positioned at the strategic level?"

"We are not afraid that Penguin will follow suit, we are afraid that Penguin will follow suit by using traffic tactics."

"When the flow of traffic cannot be united, it will not be so competitive. This is the second reason."

“Also, if Penguin Weibo really exists, or because of this traffic pool, it will gradually become homogeneous with space and dating networks. This homogenization will definitely have a huge side effect on the user experience. This is the third one. "

For a product, strategy is important, traffic is important, users are important, and the external competitive environment is also important.

King Xing is full of excitement and impassioned.

There was nothing wrong with what he said, but it had a sense of personal pain.

But...

Three well-known domestic investors always felt that something was not right.

Well, Mr. Wang, shouldn't you be sitting next to us and listening together? Why do you just take the job and start talking about competition?

Damn it, did you know the name "Weibo" before coming here?

In particular, Xiong Xiaoge looked at the excited Wang Xing and felt a little sad for no reason. Mr. Wang, Mr. Wang, do you know what it means to be the pioneer of the king?

Fang Zhuo looked at Wang Xing and finally finished speaking. He stood up and summed it up in one sentence: "Mr. Wang is very keen, and Mr. Wang also said it very well. Mr. Xu, Lao Xiong, Brother Wang, in one sentence, seize the time window and use resources fiercely." Come on, work hard with a lot of money, then get off work and celebrate the New Year.”

Wang Xing actually still had some unfinished ideas, but Mr. Fang stood up to express his position, so he could only go back and think more about the new battle.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Fang Zhuo, who said he would get off work as soon as possible, didn't even arrange dinner, and hurriedly took Wang Fengyi to the airport - Wang Fengyi was a good companion, and he didn't talk nonsense with him whether he talked about business or not.

Xiong Xiaoge and Xu Kaiwei watched Mr. Fang leave, and then said goodbye to Mr. Wang and Mr. Wang. The two of them had a brief private exchange about the Weibo project.

"Mr. Xiong, what do you think of this Weibo?" Xu Kaiwei recognized Mr. Xiong's vision.

"With the team and experience honed by Youyou.com, as well as the targeted strategy for Penguin, it is definitely possible to invest." Xiong Xiaoge first confirmed this, and then said, "It is the speed at which Youyou.com burns money in the later period. It’s getting faster and faster, and the scale is getting bigger and bigger. I’m still afraid of what the other party always says, ‘pay a lot of money and do it hard’.”

Even Mr. Fang said that he would spend a lot of money to work hard. Can Penguin's 1.55 billion sustain it?

Don’t just make a profit, and then you’ll have to spend more money later.

Xu Kaiwei nodded slightly. Lao Xiong is a very discerning person, but he is not very able to withstand pressure. I heard that the original sale of Penguin shares was due to financial pressure.

Since Lao Xiong is in trouble and under pressure, it is up to Mr. Fang to make up for it himself.

…

Returning to Shencheng from the capital, Fang Zhuo felt that he had just dozed off.

However, this nap did not relieve him from fatigue, but made him even more exhausted.

These days in Beijing, on the one hand, I am busy with my friend network, and on the other hand, meeting with the leaders is also very important and troublesome.

In addition to the almost routine ice core development report, Fang Zhuo also comprehensively talked about the serious backwardness of the domestic semiconductor industry from the perspective of his own company. This backwardness is the first-hand experience of the Ice Core Wafer Manufacturing Service Alliance.

If possible, he still hopes to promote earlier investment in the semiconductor industry.

However, different positions have different considerations. Such demands were neither treated coldly nor responded enthusiastically. The leadership was non-committal.

Fang Zhuo just does what he should do, or if he does a little more, the semiconductor industry can now squeeze in more budget, which may reduce the difficulty of one or several links.

Furthermore, the development of domestic 3G is also an important issue when visiting leaders these days.

It has been rumored that the six domestic telecom operators will be merged and reformed, and 3G licenses will have to wait until then to be issued.

The news Fang Zhuo heard is that there is hope next year, but the specific time cannot be determined.

This also means that Yike’s mobile phones are likely to be unable to be launched in China at the same time.

Because he knew about the in-depth cooperation between iPhone and American operators, and because Yike Mobile was also trying to impress T-Mobile, Fang Zhuo hoped to replicate similar cooperation in China.

This is more difficult, and he just plans to try it.

But when operators don't know how to reform and each company doesn't know what 3G standards are, it's impossible to talk about cooperation. We can only wait patiently and take a look at the situation.

This is not good news, but the degree of badness is limited and is still within Fang Zhuo's acceptance range.

I slept all the way on the plane and was still in a daze from the airport to home.

However, when the car stopped at the gate of the community, Fang Zhuo suddenly woke up and thought about calling Dr. Liang Mengsongliang, who was quietly in Luzhou, to inquire about the situation of the ice core 65nm process.

"Mr. Fang, take a rest when you need to. It's the Chinese New Year."

Wang Fengyi held the car window open and said with a smile.

"Okay, Brother Wang, see you in the new year. Happy New Year." Fang Zhuo put down his mobile phone, waved his hand, and motioned to the driver to drive Wang Fengyi to the place.

"See you next year, call me if you need anything." Wang Fengyi said with a smile, "I'm definitely not afraid."

Fang Zhuo waved again, and when he saw the car driving away, he said to his assistant: "Let's go, put everything on it."

A secretary, two assistants, and a security assistant, a total of four people, brought the gifts bought from the capital on this trip upstairs.

Then, Fang Zhuo came down with everyone and took a bus to the Hilton.

This year’s holiday is a year of great reunions, and many relatives arrived in Shanghai early and stayed in hotels.

Fang Zhuo didn't like this atmosphere, but he could tell from his phone calls with his parents that they were happy, so he was happy too.

At 8:30 in the evening, the group arrived at the Hilton, and Fang Zhuo met Su Wei.

"Xiao Liu, it's time for you to celebrate the New Year. There's nothing to do these days. Let's see you after the New Year."

Fang Zhuo first gave the four people who were accompanying him a holiday. All the things that needed to be arranged were arranged. Sina Weibo was so anxious to meet Penguin that he could not tolerate it until after the new year. The assistants also wanted to reunite.

"Come, come, come, happy New Year, may you wish." Su Wei stepped forward with a smile, took out the red envelopes from her pocket, and handed them over one by one.

Secretary Liu Zonghong didn't answer and said with a smile: "Mr. Su and Mr. Fang have both given us big red envelopes."

Su Wei said seriously: "That belongs to Mr. Fang, and this belongs to Mr. Su. Can they be the same?"

Liu Zonghong blinked: "It's the same. Our family always only receives one red envelope during the holidays."

Su Wei raised her lips and said, "I'll take it as soon as I say."

Fang Zhuo yawned: "Okay, keep it all."

Only then did Liu Zonghong and others accept it.

Su Wei stuffed another unfinished red envelope into Liu Zonghong's pocket.

"Where's my dad and my mom?" Fang Zhuo took out a small gift box from his pocket and handed it to Su Wei.

"We were playing cards upstairs and won a lot of money." Su Wei swiped her card in the elevator and opened the gift. It was an exquisite necklace. "Hey, it's quite nice. It cost Mr. Fang a lot of money."

She took the necklace in her hand and said, "You can put it on me later."

"I will wear it for you tonight, but you can only wear a necklace." Fang Zhuo suddenly became energetic and said softly.

Su Wei pushed him: "Be serious."

The elevator reached the sixteenth floor.

As soon as Fang Zhuo walked out, he saw a three or four-year-old girl playing with a picture album outside a room not far away.

He glanced at the little girl, and the little girl glanced at him.

Then, the little girl timidly called out: "Uncle."

Without waiting for Fang Zhuo's answer, the little girl turned around and ran into the room: "Uncle, uncle, living uncle."

Fang Zhuo: "..."

He glanced at Su Wei hesitantly.

Su Wei understood immediately and said in a low and funny voice: "Your second cousin's little cousin's daughter is called Jiujiu."

Fang Zhuo: "..."

Su Wei understood the man's eyes again and explained: "I've known him as a relative of yours for a long time these days."

Fang Zhuo hesitated for a moment and said, "I brought back a lot of gifts."

"I know, I know, my dad has already drank Dahongpao and praised your Moutai." Su Wei said with a smile, "It is best that your gifts are suitable for children, and I have a lot of children at home."

Fang Zhuo felt that Weiwei really... knew what she was thinking.

After the two of them exchanged a few words, Fang Zhuo's second cousin's little cousin walked out of the room holding the little girl.

The little cousin actually hesitated for two seconds before shouting: "Brother."

Fang Zhuo walked a few steps, picked up Jiujiu, and said to his little cousin with a smile: "Jiujiu has grown so big. She is handsome and a little beauty. If you call me uncle again, well, Jiujiu, this name seems like I’m going to call her uncle.”

The little girl chirped and put her head on her uncle's shoulder.

Fang Zhuo smiled and chatted with his little cousin for a few words, then put down his tweets and continued to the front room.

"It's okay, the smile on Mr. Fang's face is very sincere." Su Wei praised.

"It's actually not complicated. I smile one-tenth as much as I did for Professor Hu and Dr. Liang. The relationship between relatives is also very simple." Fang Zhuo said this.

Su Wei was amused, walked a few steps, and asked succinctly: "This trip, Friends Network? Ice Core? 3G?"

Fang Zhuo resisted the urge to start a long story immediately and sighed: "No, Mr. Su is getting to know me better and better... What's going on? My work and life are so organized, what's going on?"

Su Wei really thought about it seriously, and then said uncertainly: "Probably, Aiwujiwu?"

Fang Zhuo shook her hand, listened to the sound of rubbing, and pushed open the room door.

Then, he saw many people chatting and watching four people playing mahjong.

In an instant, all kinds of names rang out.

"Ouch, Xiaozhuo is here."

"My nephew is back, he must be very busy."

"Uncle, uncle."

"Nephew!"

There was a little noise in the room, and Fang Zhuo responded with a smile.

He probably knows how to celebrate the Spring Festival this year.

After chatting with many relatives whom they had not seen for a long time about family affairs, the Gulf War, and the weather in Britain, Fang Zhuo and Su Wei went to meet relatives from the Su family.

Mainly, he and Su's father and mother talked about the development of domestic e-commerce under Su Wei's funny eyes.

Fang Zhuo didn't want to talk about this, but Su's father was very concerned about the competition of Tesco, which was run by his daughter, so the topic unconsciously turned into this.

I wonder if the ventilation in Hilton is not very good. When Fang Zhuo started to go back to his room, he found that most of the room doors in the corridor were open, which was completely different from when he first arrived.

Fang Zhuo stopped and used his nonsensical skills to make his relatives laugh, and he went all the way back to his room.

"Boss Fang is used to talking about big things. How is the situation today?" Su Wei entered the room, made a pot of tea first, and then said with a smile.

"It's okay. Mainly because I feel very friendly when I see your parents and your mother. I don't know what's going on." Fang Zhuo looked serious.

Su Wei smiled and handed the necklace to the man.

While Fang Zhuo was about to put a necklace on Weiwei, he casually chatted about the gains from this trip to the capital.

"Huh? The price of friends.com is so high? Your Weibo will be online after the New Year, and Mr. Ma can't come to you with a knife to pay New Year's greetings?" Su Wei was surprised.

Fang Zhuo shook his head: "No, Pony and I have agreed that we will only focus on the project and not the people, and we will only talk about business and not friendship. We are both very tolerant."

Su Wei suspected that these words were made up by President Fangda.

Fang Zhuo thought for a while and then said: "Anyway, Pony has closed the friends network, I know Weibo is online, Wang Xing is waiting for a second battle, Lao Xiong and the others have found new investment projects, and we can all have a good year. "

Su Wei was startled, still doubting that Ma would always fly to pay New Year greetings.

She thought for a few seconds and suddenly said: "Where are you sliding your hand? No, I want to talk to you about Tesco's cosmetics business."

Fang Zhuo's voice gradually became blurry: "Well, you say it and I'll listen without delay."

No delay, no delay, still delayed the report from e-commerce business.

From returning to the United States to flying to the capital, Fang Zhuo finally had the most relaxing sleep in a while.

However, in the early hours of the morning, his cell phone suddenly vibrated.

Su Wei took the phone in confusion, thinking about pressing it to let the man next to her have a good rest, but when she saw the number from Bing Xin Qiu Ciyun, she woke up Fang Zhuo.

"Well, it's me, Mr. Qiu, tell me, I'm awake."

Fang Zhuo woke up, took the phone, rubbed his face, and heard the report about Jiusi fighting on the front line of the ice core at one o'clock in the morning.

A minute later, Fang Zhuo put down his phone in a daze.

Su Wei asked with concern: "What's wrong? What happened?"

Fang Zhuo breathed out slowly: "It's okay, Mr. Qiu asked me to have a good year. The key problems of the 65nm process have been solved. Have a good year. Hey, this year is a good year."

Su Wei was also happy because she knew the significance of ice core's generation-hopping development.

Fang Zhuo was in a daze for a while, then turned his head and saw Weiwei with her shoulders half exposed. He threw away his phone and moved closer.

Have a good year, let’s start with the third battle.
