After the meeting, Lu Yiming held his head high and walked out of the Zhalang Company gate with brisk steps. His eyes were bright and there was a huge crowd in front of him.
The spotlight kept flashing, and the microphone was directly in the face.
"The richest man in Lu..."
"Mr. Lu..."
Facing the large number of reporters in front of him, Lu Yiming looked calm and said with a smile: "There are quite a few reporter friends here today. Don't be anxious. If you have any questions, please come one by one. I will definitely tell you everything I can answer."
With just one word and one look, he took control of the situation and showed his extraordinary style.
A petite female reporter squeezed to the front with her body advantage. Her face was flushed with excitement. She stood on tiptoes and stretched out the long microphone. She asked excitedly: "Hello, Mr. Lu, I am Xiao Longjing from Jade Daily."
, before Mr. Wang left just now, he said that you came to destroy Zha Lang, is this true? "
This question may seem trivial, but it’s just that Wang Zhidong said this just now, and the reporter just asked it to verify it.
But in fact, Lu Yiming's answer has a huge impact. A bad operation may even bring about a very bad chain reaction.
After all, Zhalang is the first Internet information company in Xia State to be listed in the United States, which has epoch-making significance.
Many people regard Zhalang's listing on Nasdaq as a sign that Zhalang has brought glory to the country. The demonstration and leading role in this are self-evident.
Not to mention that Zhalang Company also creates jobs. Such star companies often represent the face of a region and are by no means just a business issue.
If Lu Yiming really admits that he kicked Wang Zhidong out just to destroy Zhalang, then someone with ulterior motives will definitely seize the opportunity and issue special approvals in large numbers. Maybe he will be labeled as a "secret agent" or "spy".
Button it up for him.
However, who is Lu Yiming? Once he was reborn, he had no intention of wronging himself and immediately said: "What he said is right, but not much."
After a brief silence, the reporters immediately became excited, holding the microphones in their hands as they pressed forward.
"Mr. Lu, did you make this decision to take revenge on Mr. Wang?"
"For his own personal anger, he destroyed Xia Guo's first Internet company listed on Nasdaq. Don't you think this is too much, Mr. Lu?"
Seeing that the words of these reporters were getting sharper and sharper, the faces of several people following Lu Yiming looked very ugly, especially Cao Guowei, who had just become the chairman.
From the tone of these reporters' words, Cao Guowei could tell that if this problem could not be properly solved, these reporters who were afraid of chaos in the world would definitely say anything messy. It would damage Zhalang's image.
As a result, everything will plummet, and even the newly appointed leader will have to fall into the trap as well.
However, what Cao Guowei didn't know was that Lu Yiming had already seen through the traps hidden in these reporters' words. The reason why he said this was to attract everyone's attention and let everyone know why he wanted to acquire Zhalang and why he said he wanted to.
Destroyed Zhalang.
"Excessive? I have said more than once before that Zhalang is registered in the Cayman Islands, and its investors are Western capitalists and NGO organizations. It is itself a channel for foreigners to carry out cultural penetration and spiritual colonization of Xia Kingdom. Such an enterprise
, you guys think it’s the light of Xia Kingdom? I’m afraid the father who was the financial backer behind it will laugh his head off.”
"Don't forget, how many years have passed since we put down our guns? Have you already relaxed your vigilance? The teacher said that the West is determined to destroy itself. We must always remain vigilant!"
"I paid to take down Zhalang today and clear out those foreign capital shareholders, just to make Zhalang truly become a Xiaguo enterprise with pure blood."
"Since it is an Internet company in Xia State, it should have its own social responsibilities, even if it is just a bowl of water. Every day it reports bad domestic news, and when it reports abroad, it embellishes and embellishes it.
,What is the difference between this and betraying the country?”
"As for personal grudges... I am the richest man, what is he? I can kill him with a few words, does he have the qualifications to make me resent him? Wang Zhidong doesn't have the ability or the mind, so I kicked him out, so
So simple."
His words left the reporters speechless.
After all, Lu Yiming has brought out the "patriotic" gold medal to avoid death. Who dares to beep randomly? Do they really think that the relevant departments are dead?
Lu Yiming then made another big announcement, saying: "Soon, Zhalang will complete its reorganization. After cutting off some marginal businesses, it will officially change its name to Quwen, with current affairs news as its core business content, and provide all Xiaguo users with
The latest and most interesting current affairs news. I want to build Zhalang into a platform that allows Xia people to speak out and let the world hear Xia's voice. Please stay tuned. That's all I have to say, please let me.
"
The reporters wanted to continue asking questions, but Lu Yiming had no intention of continuing and left directly.
In the evening, Lu Yiming found a hotel and invited Cao Guowei to dinner. The original appointment was at six o'clock in the evening, but Cao Guowei didn't come until after seven o'clock. As soon as he walked in, he said apologetically: "Mr. Lu, I'm really sorry. Today
There are too many things that need to be busy, and I have kept you waiting for a long time."
Now, Lu Yiming has become the controller of Zhalang and is Cao Guowei's immediate boss. Naturally, Cao Guowei does not dare to call him junior disciple anymore.
In order to appease everyone in the company, Cao Guowei was extremely busy today. He went to meetings in one department after another, made various promises, and observed everyone's reactions, so as not to prevent someone from cooperating with Wang Zhidong to make things happen.
When something goes wrong, the situation becomes difficult to deal with.
The difficulty in this, just thinking about it, makes Lu Yiming's scalp feel numb.
So he simply left it to Cao Guowei, because only Cao Guowei's identity and reputation could shoulder this responsibility.
Acquiring a listed company is no simple matter.
Unless Lu Yiming really doesn't care about losing money, everything he does must be done after careful consideration.
In the world of capital, there are too many companies that cannot adapt to the local environment after being acquired.
You must vent your anger, but Lu Yiming doesn't want to let it go to make money.
Lu Yiming poured a glass of red wine for Cao Guowei and said politely to Cao Guowei: "Senior, please sit down. Thank you for your hard work, senior. Since the senior has chosen to take on this burden, I will have to rely on the senior to handle the future Zhalang."
"How is the situation at the company now?"
After hearing Lu Yiming's culture, Cao Guowei drank the wine in one gulp and relaxed a lot. He immediately replied in an orderly manner: "Now the employees have been calmed down for the time being, but everyone is still worried. Mainly because the company is preparing
Name change, and the issue of relocating the headquarters.”
Although Wang Zhidong is from Wancheng, Guangdong Province, he studied at a university in Beijing, so he set Sina's headquarters here in order to make the most of the various social resources provided to him by Beijing University, especially as Xia Jingcheng University.
It is one of the top universities in the country and can provide Sina with a large number of high-quality talents.
This is not only a win-win situation, but also a kind of feedback from Wang Zhidong to Beijing University. After all, he can rise all the way, and Beijing University has also made great efforts behind the scenes.
Now that Lu Yiming has completed the acquisition of Sina, and wants to completely control this company, the first thing to do is naturally to "cleanse" the internal personnel, especially the one Wang Zhidong brought out from Beijing University.
Criticize "old ministers".
As the saying goes, once the emperor is the emperor, then the ministers are the same. Most of the employees recruited by Wang Zhidong originally came from Beijing University, so they may not be able to share the same mind with Lu Yiming. And Lu Yiming did not dare to study, so it is better to move the company headquarters directly to Zhonghai now.
, so as to make it easier to carry out a major blood change within the company in the future, and replace all employees in core positions with "our own people".
For example, if you switch to a graduate from Fuzhou University, you will be much more comfortable doing things in the future.
Of course, this kind of thing cannot be done too hastily and must be planned slowly, otherwise it will trigger a "civil uprising" within the company, which will cause big trouble.
Cao Guowei stated his interests to Lu Yiming, and then asked: "Mr. Lu, what are you going to do about this?"
Lu Yiming thought for a while and seemed confident: "I think these questions can be divided into three steps."
"The first step is that the company's headquarters will not change when it is relocated. Those who are willing to move along will receive a 10% base salary increase. Those who don't want to leave will stay put for the time being and wait until the new company is completely stabilized before we deal with it."
"The second step is that after the headquarters is relocated, the company will be renamed, completely erasing the original traces of Sina, and changing it to Quwentianxia. It will also start to eliminate some redundant departments and streamline personnel."
"The third and final step is to use the success of the new business to answer all doubts. As long as the new business can bring benefits, we will be invincible."
Seeing that Lu Yiming's thinking was clear and the strategies he adopted were extremely mature and prudent, Cao Guowei finally let go of his worries.
No wonder Lu Xuedi became the richest man in the country at such a young age. Sure enough, it was not just about luck.
Cao Guowei said with admiration: "There is a gap in Mr. Lu's mind. With these three steps, it is not impossible for Zhalang to get back on track, and even the stock price to soar up on Nasdaq."
Then, he asked curiously: "I wonder what this new business Mr. Lu is talking about?"
Lu Yiming did not answer, but asked Cao Guowei: "What do you think is the core value of the portal?"
Cao Guowei thought for a while and said, "It's news."
This is what he learned himself.
Lu Yiming agreed: "Yes, the so-called portal website actually provides users with the latest, fastest and most real-time news information. The core selling point is 'real-time'. To put it bluntly, it is faster than traditional newspapers and magazines."
"For example, the news that happened at 9 o'clock this morning, the traditional media will not be able to deliver it to users until the next day at the earliest, because it takes time from interviewing, recording, to typesetting and printing, and finally delivering it to newsstands."
"But portals rely on the Internet. We don't need to print or go through newsstands. We can deliver news directly to users on the Internet. So we can be faster than traditional media, and we must be faster than traditional media. The speed
And efficiency is the lifeline of our products.”
Cao Guowei thought for a while and then said: "It's not difficult to do news, and it's not difficult to do it quickly. The biggest problem now is, how do we make money from this? Learn from Yahoo and take orders and advertise? You know, if
If there is no profit point and a positive cycle cannot be formed, this thing will not last long.”
At this time, Xiaguo Internet was generally busy copying existing successful cases from abroad, and lacked thinking about the meaning and value of its own existence.
The three major portals are all direct copies of Yahoo, the e-commerce companies imitate Amazon and eBay, and the social networking site Penguin is shameless, and its names are all imitations of QICQ.
In other words, I do what others do, just like a rabbit, crossing the river by feeling the sauce.
But this has brought about a new problem. In the United States, Internet companies and Wall Street have colluded together to make money from the stock market.
The old and wealthy people in the Xia Kingdom are not so easy to fool, mainly because they are not able to accept new things like the Internet. Many wealthy people in the country judge whether a project can be successful, not based on how big the pie you draw is.
, but go straight to the root and ask about your profit model and how you plan to make money.
Just such an extremely simple question, 99% of current Internet companies cannot answer it because they themselves don’t know how to make money.
To be continued...
