Chapter 206 You Don't Even Want to Call Me
Chapter 206 You don't even want to call me...
Fang Zhuo of Guahao.com is ruthless and hard to mess with.
This news spread quietly in the investment circle as Liao Yong of Sequoia regained his freedom.
On one hand, the news fermented the content of the press conference on the 16th, in which Fang Zhuo said with certainty that he had no administrative background, and on the other hand, the vice president of Sequoia had a frightened personal experience. Which one should people believe?
Anyway, as Fang Zhuo emphasized in public, "the cooperation between Guahao.com and venture capital was reached under the legal framework", this year's most dramatic venture capital financing storm came to an end, and Guahao.com also began to develop in the direction of deepening data after the first company meeting chaired by Executive Vice President Zhou Xin.
Of course, this does not mean that Fang Zhuo let go of Guahao.com. On the contrary, he formally established a payment department directly under his charge within the company - Yizhifu.
This department has transferred two top students from the University of Science and Technology of Zhou Xin's technical department and recruited half of the staff, while continuing to recruit people from the University of Science and Technology of China and Jiaotong University, aiming to develop Internet payment methods for online transactions on a small scale.
Fang Zhuo brought together several shareholders for a small meeting to confirm the priority and confidentiality of the payment department. This action will be promoted to the media as much as possible and will not be notified to other shareholders.
The "Yi" in Yizhifu is taken from the "Yike" of the neighboring friendly company. If M1 has good sales after it goes online, Yike will try to acquire the shares of Guahao.com through a shell, and then exchange and replace the business.
Marketing Director Yu Hong has been very busy these days, and she is particularly puzzled that Fang Zhuo called everyone together for this matter: "Is this payment so important?"
"Very, very, very important." Fang Zhuo's attitude is very firm. "The reason why we put it on Guahao.com first is that we only have such an application scenario at present. When the distribution and sales of online medicines in Yangcheng are launched, it can be counted as half."
"First accumulate experience and try more where the administrative line is. The target of online payment is expected to be ten or even twenty years."
"I even think that all our future businesses can build application scenarios around payment."
Online payment is a demand generated by application scenarios, but looking back, determining such a core and then diverging and carving other businesses gives Fang Zhuo a clear strategic vision.
Yu Hong, Su Wei, and Zhou Xin all find it difficult to understand this. The three of them also have their own focus work. Considering the pioneering nature of Guahao.com and Fang Zhuo's pace, it seems that there is nothing to hesitate.
In this way, Yizhifu was born without any waves under the cover of Guahao.com.
The first order Fang Zhuo gave to this department was the development of online payment software and its security.
This takes time, and it has plenty of time.
On October 18, two days before the official launch of Yike M1, Fang Zhuo clearly found out that the launch date of the competitor on the other side of the ocean was on the 23rd, which means that the quality of M1 will face a test.
Although Fang Zhuo spared no effort to purchase parts from all over the world and added a lot of his own tested aesthetics, he really couldn't remember what the specific parameters of the epoch-making iPod were. He could only ensure that M1 was the best within his capabilities.
What exactly is this "best" compared to iPod? This made him quite nervous.
That night, just as Fang Zhuo was stroking M1 and considering the layout of mid-range products, he unexpectedly received a call from Zheng Danrui on his mobile phone.
Generally speaking, people would look for him by themselves, and this kind of call from the other party would easily make people feel depressed.
What happened again?
"Fang Zhuo, a leader will come to your company for inspection in two days, please make arrangements." Zheng Danrui said something good.
"Ah? Leaders from which city?" Fang Zhuo was very serious. "You're not asking about the dispute between Guahao.com and venture capital, are you?"
Zheng Danrui was happy: "What's the big deal? It's the leader. On the one hand, he's looking at the specific situation of information construction, and on the other hand, he's also investigating the use scenarios of the second-generation resident ID card."
"Second-generation resident ID card? So soon? Well, I mean..." Fang Zhuo said, "I changed my ID card to the first generation a while ago."
"Big cities will pilot it first. There was a document in June this year. I thought that the use of Guahao.com would not be used for this, so I talked about it. The leader thought it was quite practical. Is there any problem?" Zheng Danrui was a little surprised.
Fang Zhuo immediately said: "No problem, Guahao.com especially welcomes the simplification of terminal use. This is simply a blessing!"
"That's good." Zheng Danrui thought for a while and instructed, "Don't do any crooked hospitality. Tell the truth. Although you are the first batch of national Internet innovation industry enterprises, you have not been around for long after all. The focus is on innovation rather than industry."
Fang Zhuo agreed. He was not the kind of crooked person.
However, Zheng Danrui didn't even introduce the inspecting leader... It seems that he has a great background.
Zheng Danrui didn't hang up the phone immediately after talking about this matter, and asked: "I heard that you want to sell a Walkman, is that thing okay?"
Fang Zhuo was a little flattered, wow, he still cares about me.
He replied: "Okay, I am very optimistic."
Zheng Danrui hesitated and asked: "Is there anything I can help with?"
Fang Zhuo said without hesitation: "This is not like the registration website, it depends on the market response, it is just a simple gadget."
Zheng Danrui laughed and said with admiration: "Fang Zhuo, you are a person..."
Fang Zhuo listened to the unfinished meaning in the words: "Team Leader Zheng, please give instructions."
"You don't even want to call me Brother Zheng, which makes me look like a jackal or a tiger." Zheng Danrui has always had a strange thing. Fang Zhuo is an entrepreneur who is not a technical president. Whether it is to Lin'an or to himself, he doesn't say that he is not interested, nor does he try to get close to him.
Fang Zhuo was stunned and felt the human touch, but he really didn't say it out loud for a while.
Zheng Danrui's slight sigh was immediately retracted, and finally said: "Don't mess up the leader's inspection."
The phone was hung up.
Fang Zhuo looked at his mobile phone and reflected deeply. He should call him Brother Zheng, maybe he could get two more pieces of land.
But this Brother Zheng can only be called when he has a strong bargaining chip in his hand, otherwise, it is too easy to have a primary and a secondary.
Team Leader Zheng helped the registration website a lot, but he also maintained the operation under the pressure of losing the profit imagination of the core business as a reward for him. The two sides are in a conditional cooperation.
Fang Zhuo put down his phone and realized that the leader's inspection on the 20th was exactly the time when Yike's five stores opened, so he had to give priority to Guahao.com.
When he thought of this, he suddenly called Su Wei again.
"Teacher Su, go to the company tomorrow and immediately remove the "Yi Pay" department logo of Guahao.com. There will be a leader inspection the day after tomorrow, don't see this."
"And take everyone in the department out for team building the day after tomorrow, so that they can improve their relationship."
Su Wei was a little helpless: "Is it so exaggerated? Why do you do things so secretly?"
"Build high walls, store up food, and slowly become king." Fang Zhuo answered seriously. Don't try to figure out the leader's mind if you are not sure, so as to avoid trouble.
