Chapter 318 Give First and Then Ask

A drink, a meal, and a good chat can easily make them familiar with each other.

Among the six people, the portal websites have been competing with each other for a long time, but Fang Zhuo's MIGA fund also holds a small amount of shares in the other two.

In the past two years, Fang Zhuo and Ma Yun have been awarded the "Annual Advanced Unit" on the same stage in Lin'an with Guahao.com, and have also attended the vice mayor's dinner together.

As for Fang Zhuo and Ma Huateng, he has helped the latter find funds, helped each other a little, and even participated in a program together.

Only Baidu's Robin Li, who really had no dealings with him before, but Fang Zhuo and him have a common field to talk about at the moment, Baidu wants to be on Baidu MP3 vertical search, and Yike player is the MP3 player with the highest market share.

Alibaba's Jack Ma has always been good at chatting, but tonight's dinner is indeed a bit inferior to Fang Zhuo, mainly because the news disclosed by the latter is particularly interesting.

For example, Zhang Chaoyang, who is also the president of a US-listed company, asked about the SEC acquisition license. Fang Zhuo had never talked about this at Sina, but today he gave the answer while drunk.

"I took people to the US Securities and Exchange Commission, and they asked me why I acquired Sina."

"I said at the time that I am the president of Yike. If you have not used my products, your children must know the current trend of music players."

"It's that simple."

"My team prepared a lot before. Who would have thought that the SEC would also value reputation."

Fang Zhuo was talking nonsense in a vivid and colorful way under the influence of alcohol.

However, the other five people really believed it. They knew that Yike's players sold well in the United States, but they didn't expect it to be so famous!

The dinner became more and more lively in such an atmosphere, and ended very late.

At 11 o'clock in the evening, the dinner was about to end, and Zhang Chaoyang insisted that people let him take pictures with his latest mobile phone.

So, Li Baidu, Zhang Sohu, Fang Xinlang, Ding NetEase, Ma Penguin, and Alien Ma, these six people left a photo of the dinner party where they looked at the camera casually after drinking.

Near the early morning, everyone went back to their own homes.

Because Ma Huateng went straight to the hotel from the airport, Fang Zhuo drove him back.

Fang Zhuo also drank a little too much. Seeing that the king of instant messaging was in the car, he casually said a few words to Ma Huateng, who didn't sleep well all night.

Until the next day, Ma Huateng attended the opening ceremony of the Chinese Enterprise Leaders as usual, and he even changed his seat to sit next to Fang Zhuo.

"Mr. Fang, what was the particularly good idea you said yesterday?" Ma Huateng was very sincere.

Fang Zhuo pretended to be confused: "What? I drank too much yesterday and boasted nonsense, Pony, you don't know the morality of men after drinking, right?"

On the way last night, Ma Huateng clearly heard Fang Zhuo's words-"If I hadn't become the president of Sina now, I would have an idea that would have an immediate effect on Tencent, haha, but I can't tell you about my current position."

Ma Huateng has a good alcohol tolerance. He was the one who drank the most but was the most sober among the six people last night. He thought that Mr. Fang had triggered the state of "speaking the truth after drinking".

Lying in bed in the middle of the night, he repeatedly thought about the meaning of Fang Zhuo's words. Considering the "President of Sina" and "position", he must be talking about Tencent's current portal website.

So, what is it?

"Mr. Fang, you are not nice enough." Ma Huateng squeezed a little, "I am a curious person."

"I really drank too much to tease you." Fang Zhuo spread his hands.

Ma Huateng squeezed in a different way: "Mr. Fang didn't tell me the truth. How about this, Mr. Fang, we at Tencent are willing to pay three million to buy Mr. Fang's idea."

Fang Zhuo smiled, three million is not enough to buy his reputation.

He actually does have a way to deal with Tencent.com immediately, and it is estimated that it will be released next year or the year after next.

Information pop-up window, mini homepage.

Tencent's portal website is small in scale, but it has a lot of QQ users. "Pop-up window" is destined to be a bridge that can combine the two.

However, this is obvious to those who have seen it. For those who explore, it is always difficult to explore.

As the president of Sina, if Fang Zhuo said this now to stimulate the expansion of Tencent's portal, there would be something to write about in the public opinion in the next few years.

"Pony, I was really drunk and talking nonsense. I don't even remember it myself. You should have thrown money at me at that time. Inspirations are all sudden and fleeting."

Fang Zhuo pointed to the stage: "The leader is on the stage to give a speech. Listen."

Ma Huateng felt a little regretful that he didn't give enough money.

But for the president of a company with 200 million US dollars, how much is enough?

At nine o'clock in the morning, the first annual meeting of Chinese business leaders officially opened. The administrative leader gave an opening speech and welcomed business leaders from all walks of life to share their views.

The theme set for this year is "Globalization and Chinese Enterprise Personality". Most of the guest speeches after the leaders' speeches talked about the fashionable topic of "globalization".

This is also true for the manuscripts prepared by Fang Zhuo.

However, Fang Zhuo, who had never attended such a grand meeting before, listened with great interest at first, but the more he listened, the more he felt a little awkward.

Economic globalization is indeed the current trend, but many people are too optimistic and yearning, and there is no lack of advocacy of democracy and liberalism in their words.

"Neoliberalism." Ma Huateng next to him suddenly mentioned the word mentioned by several guests.

"Actually, it is neoclassical liberalism." Fang Zhuo corrected lightly.

Ma Huateng was puzzled.

"The word itself is quite confusing internationally. Liberalism is constantly changing. The neoliberalism they talk about earlier was to strengthen supervision and use public power to check capital." Fang Zhuo explained, "What they actually mean by neoclassical liberalism is anti-intervention, supporting free trade and capital development."

"These two are in a burst in the United States. When one doesn't work, the other starts."

"Do you still need to study these when doing market in the United States?" Ma Huateng asked half surprised and half jokingly.

Fang Zhuo said seriously: "That's not necessary, but it's really necessary to go back to China to deceive people, to deceive this president or that leader."

Ma Huateng smiled.

"It's not interesting." Fang Zhuo suddenly felt that the manuscript in his hand was not interesting.

"President Fang will come on stage and talk more about this neoclassical liberalism. It will definitely be interesting." Ma Huateng suggested that if the meaning of the word is defined in this way, the people in front will be embarrassed.

Fang Zhuo was about to speak when he felt the phone in his pocket vibrate. He took it out and saw an unexpected message from Secretary Liu Yangyang.

——Qiu Di came to Shanghai to serve as the mayor of Pudong New Area, and invited Fang Zhuo to have a small gathering when he had time.

District mayor?

From deputy mayor to district mayor, is this a demotion or a promotion in terms of rank?

Shanghai must be very good, but the rank of Hangzhou is not low either, right?

Fang Zhuo pondered for a few seconds, and whispered to Ma Huateng beside him: "What is the rank of the district mayor in Shanghai?"

"Shanghai? It's different from other places, right? I can't even tell the difference between classical and liberal, how can I know this." Ma Huateng laughed.

"Okay." Fang Zhuo put away his phone, and was happy for Qiu Di from the bottom of his heart, but... he had just been reinstated, and why was he having a small gathering again? Did he have to write poetry?

After the meeting here, I can go to Shanghai to listen to poetry.

A big man appeared on the stage, and Sony's head Nobuyuki Idei stood on it, with an interpreter beside him.

Ma Huateng and Fang Zhuo both perked up, the former wanted to hear the big man's insights, and the latter wanted to hear nonsense.

Sony was defeated by this person, and the stock price has not yet been fully reflected.

Is it that Nobuyuki Idei is right, or is it that he is the head of Sony who has done a good job of whitewashing it?

"Globalization is a challenge that we all face..."

Nobuyuki Idei speaks very slowly, always waiting for the translator to finish speaking clearly before continuing.

Ma Huateng, who was originally very excited, felt bored after listening for a while, and couldn't help but complain: "Mr. Fang, it seems that the guests this morning can only look forward to your sharing of globalization views."

Fang Zhuo shook his head again: "Boring."

Seeing that Nobuyuki Idei's speech was coming to an end, Fang Zhuo folded the manuscript in his hand, and when the audience applauded, he stuffed a small piece of thick manuscript into Ma Huateng's suit pocket.

"Next, please invite Mr. Fang Zhuo, President of Sina and President of Yike Group, to the stage to give a speech."

The host said so.

Ma Huateng was holding the folded manuscript in astonishment, and whispered quickly: "Mr. Fang, your manuscript..."

"Don't follow that. Aren't you looking forward to globalization? Take a look for yourself." Fang Zhuo stood up, straightened his clothes, and strode to the stage.

Ma Huateng thought he was joking, but when he really turned over the paper, he saw that it was really a sharing of globalization views.

"Could it be that he didn't write it off the cuff?"

Ma Huateng looked at the young president on the stage in surprise.

Fang Zhuo's loud voice rang out in the vast conference hall: "I just heard many CEOs talk about globalization. I have a shallow understanding of this area, so I won't talk about it."

"Let's talk about our company."

"I often think about a question, what kind of logic is there in running a business, and how to make money."

"Not long ago, I suddenly had some insights and ideas."

"We are doing business work, especially with so many business leaders present here, the first aspect we have to consider is not to ask for things from the public, but to give things to the public."

"What can we give to the public?"

"It's a product with good quality and low price, which is to improve their living conditions and solve the problems they encounter."

"At present, many companies have made money. Take me as an example. I have a company that makes music players and is doing a new industry combined with the Internet."

"Emerging industries have good profits. This year, it is estimated that the sales volume of this industry, including our company, will be , there can be hundreds of thousands of units. "

"Sales of hundreds of thousands of units can already make the relevant companies live very comfortably, which means that this year there are these users using an expensive product, providing us with profits."

"But I changed my mind and thought that in fact, there are more and larger groups in our country who find it difficult to use such products."

"While there are hundreds of thousands of users who can easily enjoy such electronic consumer products, the situation of more people is still very bad, and the gap between everyone is quite large."

"To put it bluntly, the gap between the rich and the poor is very large."

"Everyone here is a leader and has very powerful industries. I think it is also a very meaningful thing for everyone to think about the social responsibility of enterprises on this occasion."

"Thank you, this is just my little emotion and reflection."

Fang Zhuo completely changed his plan and quoted two sentences from his teacher - "Our first aspect of work is not to ask for things from the people, but to give things to the people" in "Economic and Fiscal Issues".

Many of the older business leaders present heard it, some looked uneasy, some looked strange, and some looked expressionless, as if these words were inappropriate.
