Reinventing the Millennium

Chapter 812 Have a Happy New Year (Two in One)

Last-minute acquisition.

Last-minute fundraising.

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

What will a new social networking platform launched by Sina itself 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 blog business."

"We have the best content operation team in China."

"We have sufficient funds and investor partners."

"Well, we also have Mr. Fang."

"So, Sina is very confident in Weibo."

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

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

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

"Penguin has just acquired Friends.com, so it will definitely take time to integrate. This is the first reason."

"Even if Penguin really wants to follow Weibo, its three products, QQ Space, Friends.com, and Penguin Weibo, will use the same traffic pool. How will internal resources be allocated? How will the strategic level be positioned?"

"We are not afraid of Penguin following the trend, we are afraid that Penguin will follow the trend with traffic."

"When the fist of traffic cannot be gathered together, it will not be so competitive. This is the second reason."

"And, if there is really Penguin Weibo, it will inevitably gradually become homogenized with Space and Friends.com because of this traffic pool. This homogenization will definitely bring a huge side effect to the user experience. This is the third reason."

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

Wang Xing's heart was surging and passionate.

What he said was naturally fine, but it was targeted with personal pain.

But...

The three well-known domestic investors always felt that something was wrong.

That, Mr. Wang, shouldn't you be sitting next to us and listening together? Why are you talking about competition right away?

Blab blab blab, did you know the name "Weibo" before you came here?

Xiong Xiaoge looked at the excited Wang Xing and felt a little sad. Mr. Wang, Mr. Wang, do you know what it means to be the pioneer for 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 sharp, Mr. Wang also said it very well. Mr. Xu, Lao Xiong, Brother Wang, in one sentence, seize the time window, increase resources, and work hard. Okay, get off work, get off work, and celebrate the New Year."

Wang Xing was actually a little reluctant, but Mr. Fang stood up to express his position, so he could only think more about the new battle after he went back.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Fang Zhuo, who was eager to go home, didn't even arrange dinner. He hurriedly took Wang Fengyi to the airport by car - Wang Fengyi's travel is good, if you don't talk about business with him, he won't talk nonsense.

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

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

"With the team and experience honed by Pengyou.com, and the targeted strategy for Penguin, we can definitely invest." Xiong Xiaoge first affirmed this point, and then said, "It's just that the speed of Pengyou.com burning money in the later period is getting faster and faster, and the scale is getting bigger and bigger. I am still scared of Mr. Fang's words "invest heavily and work hard."

Even Mr. Fang said to invest heavily and work hard, can Penguin's 1.55 billion hold up?

Don't just make a profit, and then turn around and put more money in.

Xu Kaiwei nodded slightly. Lao Xiong is a man with vision, but he is not very able to withstand pressure. I heard that the reason for selling Penguin shares was financial pressure.

Since Lao Xiong has difficulties and pressure, Mr. Fang's shortcomings here will be made up by himself.

Fang Zhuo felt that he had just dozed off when he returned to Shanghai from Beijing.

However, this doze did not make him feel better, but even more tired.

These days in Beijing, on the one hand, he was busy with his friends' network, and on the other hand, the meeting with the leaders was also very important and troublesome.

In addition to the almost routine report on the development of Bingxin, Fang Zhuo also talked about the serious backwardness of the domestic semiconductor industry from the perspective of his own company. This backwardness was the first-hand contact of the Bingxin Wafer Manufacturing Service Alliance.

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

However, different positions have different considerations. Such demands were neither treated coldly nor responded warmly. The leaders were noncommittal.

Fang Zhuo just did what he should do, or did a little more. The semiconductor industry can squeeze out more budget now, which may reduce the difficulties of one or several links.

In addition, the development of domestic 3G is also an important matter for visiting leaders these days.

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

Fang Zhuo heard that there is hope for next year, but the exact time is uncertain. This also means that Yike's mobile phone may not 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. 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. We 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 the 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 to 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 instantly 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 want 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 mahjong, and pushed open the door of the room.

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

In an instant, all kinds of greetings rang out.

"Oh, Xiao Zhuo is here."

"The nephew is back, so busy."

"Uncle, uncle."

"Nephew!"

The room was a little noisy, and Fang Zhuo smiled.

He probably knew how this year's Spring Festival would be spent.

In this way, he talked about family matters, the Gulf War, and the weather in the UK with many relatives who had not seen each other for a long time. Fang Zhuo and Su Wei went to meet the relatives of 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 Yi Gou, which his daughter was in charge of, and the topic unconsciously became these.

Maybe the Hilton's ventilation is not good, when Fang Zhuo started to go back to his room, he found that most of the doors of the rooms in the corridor were open, which was completely different from when he first came.

Fang Zhuo stopped and talked nonsense, which made his relatives laugh, and went back to the room.

"Boss Fang usually talks about big things, how is it today?" Su Wei entered the room, made a pot of tea, and then smiled.

"It's not bad, mainly because I feel very close to your parents when I see them, I don't know what's going on." Fang Zhuo looked serious.

Su Wei smiled and handed the necklace to the man.

Fang Zhuo was eager to put the necklace on Wei Wei, while casually chatting about the gains of this trip to Beijing.

"Huh? Friends Network is actually sold at such a high price? Your Weibo will be online after the New Year, and Mr. Ma will come to wish you a happy New Year with a knife?" Su Wei was surprised.

Fang Zhuo shook his head: "No, Pony and I have agreed that we will only look at the project and not the person, only talk about business and not friendship. We are both very generous."

Su Wei suspected that this was a fabrication by President Fang.

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

Su Wei was stunned, still doubting that President Ma would fly to pay New Year's greetings.

She thought for a few seconds and suddenly said: "Where are you going to slide your hands? Don't, I want to talk to you about Yiguo's cosmetics business."

Fang Zhuo's voice gradually became blurred: "Well, you talk, I listen, no delay."

No delay, no delay, but still delayed the report from Yiguo's business.

From returning from the United States to flying to Beijing, Fang Zhuo finally had the most relaxing sleep during this period.

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

Su Wei took the phone in a daze, thinking of turning it off to let the man next to her have a good rest, but when she saw that it was from Bingxin Qiu Ciyun's number, she woke up Fang Zhuo.

"Yes, it's me, Mr. Qiu, you said, I'm awake."

Fang Zhuo woke up, took the phone, rubbed his face, and heard the report that he was still fighting on the front line of Bingxin at one o'clock in the morning.

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

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

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

Su Wei was also happy, she knew the significance of Bingxin's leapfrogging development.

Fang Zhuo laughed foolishly for a while, turned his head and saw Weiwei with half of her shoulders exposed, threw away the phone, and moved closer.

Have a good New Year, starting with the third game.
