Reinventing the Millennium.

Chapter 331 Situation
On November [-], the president of Yike, the president of Sina, the president of Guahao.com, the founder of MIGA Fund, and the actual controller of PL Fund arrived in Shanghai together.

Holding his right hand with his left hand, Fang Zhuo saw the sun hanging in the east of Shencheng from the porthole in a daze.

"The sun rises in the east, I like today's weather."

Fang Zhuo sat in the business car with his assistants in a good mood, and drank a cup of bitter coffee while yawning.

There are too many transoceanic flights, and he is more and more able to use the rest on the passenger plane to switch jet lag.

"Xiao Wang, tell the company that the flight is arriving on time, and then confirm the participants of the morning meeting."

Fang Zhuo opened today's latest newspaper, and casually asked Yike's administrative assistant.

When he flew from Shanghai to New York, he had two assistants from Sina and Yike, and this time he brought Yike's overseas employees on vacation.

A group of three cars drove straight to Hang Lung 23 under the warm sunshine of Shanghai in November.

Hang Lung 23 has now completely become the headquarters of Yike Group. Guahao.com, which originally occupied half of the space, has moved to Lujiazui, Pudong New Area, where Jinmao Tower has rented the 23rd floor as an office space—there is a new district chief who is familiar with him.

At the same time, Guahao.com started the Yike-style collectivization. For the sake of brand effect, it will soon officially become the Guahao.com of the medical group.

At present, the medical group's business has three and a half items, registered network, online pharmaceutical sales in three places, software construction services for hospitals, and easy payment.

The development of Guahao.com is very stable, the software construction of hospitals is quite vigorous, and the online medicine and easy payment in Beijing, Shenyang and Yangzhou are much more difficult.

Online medicine is actually okay, at least the warehouse is very lively, and Yipay, which is attached to it, is more like a false name, and it is only a small-scale trial in Shanghai.

At 09:30 in the morning, Fang Zhuo arrived at Hang Lung 23, which is completely owned by Yike Group, and met familiar faces.

"Boss Fang is back!"

"Boss Fang has worked hard!"

There was a warm welcome in the meeting room.

Fang Zhuo pressed his hands, his eyes flashed across the faces of several vice presidents and directors, and he said with a smile: "Sit, everyone, please be polite. I didn't go out for a year or so."

Although Yike's domestic and foreign companies are relatively distinct, there is still news exchange. Everyone knows that the company has completed an important cooperation with Sony Music.

"We are like this today. I will report to you first, and then you can talk to me about the domestic situation to see if there are any problems that need to be coordinated by departments, and what problems need to be specially solved."

Fang Zhuo took the documents in front of him, put his hands together, and talked about his experience in the United States this time.

As the president of a company that has experienced bans, lawsuits, and competitions, his perspective can make people in the conference room feel the sinister atmosphere.

However, as the boss talked about the second negotiation between Yike and Apple, many people still smiled knowingly.

"At the time, I was standing outside Apple's conference room on the phone, right across the door from a $50 billion technology company."

"On the other end of the phone is a world-renowned record giant, and its parent company has a market value of 800 billion U.S. dollars."

Fang Zhuo described this paragraph vividly: "Yi Ke is undoubtedly weak in front of these two families, but Stringer from Sony Music has to beg me not to die."

The president deliberately teased everyone in the conference room to roar with laughter.

Fang Zhuo waited for everyone to finish laughing before changing the subject: "Interesting, isn't it? The vast market is wonderful, and the fierce competition makes it even more delicious."

"However, the moment I ended the call standing outside the conference room door, I didn't feel good at all."

Fang Zhuo said word by word: "I feel very humiliated."

The smiles that hadn't faded from everyone in the meeting room suddenly froze.

"Weakness is not something to boast about, and it makes me feel even more embarrassed to use self-harm to make my opponent face up to it."

"Today we can take some initiative in this way, what about tomorrow? The day after tomorrow?"

Fang Zhuo tapped the table with his fingers, and said the latest news: "As soon as I landed today, I received a report from New York that the price of Apple's player has been reduced."

"It's not a temporary discount, it's a real price cut. Although it's still higher than ours, it already poses a big threat to M1 and P1."

"Competitors are not trying to overwhelm us all the time, what's more, combined with the other party's copyright layout, we have already been overwhelmed."

"When will we let our opponents come to ask for cooperation, then there will be no regrets."

Fang Zhuo sighed: "I think it is very necessary for you to have the opportunity to rotate abroad to feel the pressure. Come on, report one by one, and let me see what is going on in China now."

The atmosphere in the meeting room has become dignified following the change of the boss's tone, and he pays attention to the wording when talking about market development.

Domestic mp3 player brands have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and many orders have been sent to two factories under Yike.

Compared with Lenovo's previous ambitions, this batch of low-end products are mainly low-end products, which can fill the gap in Yike's product line.

Domestic brands have witnessed the performance of Lenovo music players, and generally believe that it is difficult to compete with Yike in the mid-to-high end.

Fang Zhuo listened to the report silently, and occasionally asked some vague questions.

The meeting lasted until noon before it was declared over.

"President Su, President Sun, and President Tang, you stay here." Fang Zhuo called out, leaving behind Su Wei who was in charge of overall work, Sun Qi who was in charge of the product supply chain, and Tang Shangde who had been promoted to vice president for a while.

The four of them chatted while eating lunch in the conference room. Tang Shangde and Sun Qi talked a lot, while Su Wei added more.

In general, although Yike is facing competition from many new brands in China, it is actually much easier than facing an Apple in the United States.

This year, Yike signed two more singers, JJ Lin and Leehom Wang, as spokespersons, really moving closer to the original saying of "growing up with Chinese musicians".

"The competitive situation is not bad, but it will definitely intensify in the future."

"Don't stick to our domestic prices, we can give a small discount."

"In addition, Yike is going to make a small acquisition with Guahao.com and buy their 'Easy Payment' department."

Fang Zhuo was full after eating half of the lunch box.

"Easy payment...what's the use of this?" Tang Shangde has heard about this department of Guahao.com, the cost is quite high, and there is no result.

"It's an attempt in one direction." Fang Zhuo waved his hand, "Go ahead with President Sun, I'll chat with President Su about some personal matters."

Sun Qi and Tang Shangde bid farewell and left.

Fang Zhuo sipped his tea and just glanced at Su Wei.

Su Wei said with a tacit understanding: "Tang Shangde's business in Beijing involves some invoices and rebates from distributors. According to what I know, the amount is about 180 million."

"What didn't you understand?" Fang Zhuo asked.

Those who don't understand naturally don't know.

Su Wei didn't speak, and felt that this question was more of an expression of disappointment. Yike's machines had a first-mover advantage, and the promotion from the grassroots to the top was quite generous.

In particular, Tang Shangde entered the company very early and was promoted very quickly. He and Fang Zhuo still have a sense of fellowship.

After a while, she asked, "How to deal with it?"

Fang Zhuo showed a rare look of hesitation.

He took another sip of tea and shook his head slightly: "I've already thought about it, and I can do it as I want. The faster the company develops and the bigger it is, the more rules it should have."

"However, Xiao Zhou is going to get married suddenly at the end of the month. I dragged him out of the University of Science and Technology. Although his marriage was hasty, it can be regarded as entering a new stage of life."

"Tang Shangde is still young, why bother?"

Fang Zhuo shook his head again.

Su Wei never expected that it would be because of this that she would be touched by the boss.

"Then..." she hesitated.

"Let him choose." Fang Zhuo put down his teacup, "I'll talk to Xiao Zhou after he's married, and if he's willing to admit it, he'll deal with it internally. If he's stubborn, he'll be a company model."

180 million is not too much. The PL Fund can easily get millions of dollars from the gang, but it is not too much. The current per capita salary is only how much.

Fang Zhuo pondered silently for a while, and stopped talking about it.

"During this period of time, I probably rejected interview requests from ten or twenty media outlets for you, and declined nearly ten meeting invitations." Su Wei also changed the subject, "Now that you come back, the meeting is over, and the media is still waiting for you." Hope to see you."

"If the company receives it, just keep rejecting it. I'm not in the mood." Fang Zhuo shook his head.

"Increase more exposure, tell me how you turned Sina's losses into profits, won't this further stimulate the stock price?" Su Wei came up with an idea.

"It's better for Sina to be more solid. There's no rush in this regard. The trend of the entire Internet is going up, and it will naturally make its stock price go up." Fang Zhuo said again, "I'm going to fly to the capital tomorrow and come back the day after tomorrow. I'll have a meeting with Jin Mao later."

"Yes, Chairman, you have worked hard." Su Wei smiled.

"Don't work hard, serve Xiao Su." Fang Zhuo said seriously, "I just want everyone to make money, start a career, and it would be better if they can promote some social progress."

"It's not enough to make money, and I don't think you spend much money." Su Wei mentioned this.

"I didn't have any money in my pocket..." Fang Zhuo was suddenly reminded, "Oh yes, I said earlier that I would reward myself with a car if I win Sina, and if I get someone to help me buy the best car in the world, it's also considered a consumption." Upgraded."

Su Wei blinked, the best car in the world, this is a consumer launch, right? If you don’t buy it, it’s fine. Once you buy it, it will be the best in the world?
"Then I'll have to go for a ride."

Fang Zhuo thought for a while: "Let's play the whole track. After the team building, we will drive. Whoever performs well will sit in my co-driver."

Su Wei showed a thankful and insensitive smile, feeling that the boss was not talking about business, so she started talking nonsense again.

　Something has happened in the past two days, and there will be more code words in the second half of the month.
