)
Baidu headquarters.
After a sleepless night, Li Yan finally felt sleepy and was about to take a nap when he was awakened by his secretary's knock on the door:
"Chairman, the high-level meeting has begun."
Li Yan didn't sleep well for two consecutive nights. He was so sleepy that he had a headache. He said impatiently: "Let them discuss it first. Anyway, the discussion can't produce any results. I'll be there soon!"
"But..." The secretary hesitated, and finally said: "Several major shareholders are also here. Looking at the posture, the person who came is not good..."
"The major shareholder...sigh!" Li Yan sighed longly and could only get up, wash his face with cold water, and walk to the conference room with dark circles under his eyes.
Baidu's market value evaporated by 15 billion overnight, and the net worth of all shareholders shrank by 3%!
With such a loss, all the major shareholders couldn't sit still and decisively came to Baidu headquarters early in the morning to prosecute!
Li Yan had to deal with situations like this well.
After all, shareholders’ money is not so easy to get!
In fact, the relationship between shareholders and founders is very delicate.
When Baidu was developing well before, Li Yan insisted, and shareholders rushed to send money.
But now that Baidu has a problem, it's completely the opposite. If shareholders withdraw their capital or reduce their holdings, it will be a disaster for Baidu!
Sure enough, as soon as Li Yan entered the company, a foreigner directly asked:
"Director Li, do you have anything to explain about Baidu's current situation?"
That's right, this is the representative of Baidu's largest shareholder, Del Fengjie "e-star" investment company, holding more than 25% of the shares!
Although Baidu is a Xia State enterprise, the first few major shareholders are all from the Empire.
Even Li Yan himself holds an Imperial Green Card.
Li Yan had already anticipated this, and decisively tried to appease him according to the words he had thought up last night:
"Mr. James, fellow shareholder representatives, please rest assured that a temporary defeat means nothing. Who has the last laugh is the most important thing."
The major shareholder frowned slightly: "Director Li, what do you mean, have you already thought of a countermeasure?"
Li Yan nodded: "Please rest assured, after a night of careful consideration, I have already thought of a response strategy."
Everyone sat up straight and became interested.
Li Yan eloquently said: "The more we go against the trend, the more we have to attack! We can't just look at the gains and losses of one point, but the success or failure of one aspect!"
“Since iQiyi is a loser in the video field and cannot compete with Xingyi Video, let’s start with Baidu Browser and Baidu Maps!”
"Baidu Browser, increase marketing and promotion efforts, quickly seize market share! Realize the perfect closed loop of search engine + browser + Baidu Tieba!"
"In terms of Baidu Maps, we will continue to increase investment and launch new features as soon as possible to fully seize the market share of Amap and Sogou Maps!"
"As long as the market share of Baidu Browser and Baidu Maps can surge, coupled with the absolute advantages of Baidu search engine and Baidu Tieba, we will still be the absolute overlord and still have a bright future!"
"As long as our overall performance is better, we can not only make up for iQiyi's loss in volume, but also its falling stock price and evaporated market value, which will also rise back and go even further!"
Everyone nodded, feeling that it made sense.
A skinny camel is bigger than a horse.
The decline in the video field can be made up for by browsers, maps and other services!
Seeing this, Li Yan continued decisively: "As for netizens, they are all on a whim. Whether it is the boycott of Baidu or the support of Xingyi Video, it is short-lived. After this period of time, they will become enthusiastic
retreat."
"By then, Xingyi Video will be abandoned by them, and they will continue to use Baidu!"
"Facing the crazy suppression of Baidu search engine, they have absolutely no way out! Xingyi Video will be in a very difficult situation in the future!"
"Their current victory is only temporary! With this kind of ban, it won't take long for Xingyi Video to lose its growth point!"
"We can afford it at Baidu, but Xingyi Video can't afford it."
"Unless they can achieve a breakthrough in the search engine field, this is simply unrealistic!"
"After all, what Tencent, Sohu, and Alibaba can't do, Xingyi Technology is even more useless."
"Wang Yi is good at making mobile phones and hardware, but he can't make software or search engines!"
"The final victory still belongs to us at Baidu. Faced with Baidu's continued blocking, the only thing waiting for Xingyi Video is failure and acquisition!"
Seeing Li Yan's confident posture, all the senior executives nodded in agreement. Several shareholders were also in a much better mood!
Li Yan breathed a sigh of relief and finally got through this.
Xingyi Technology.
Just as Wang Yicai finished reading the information on Sohu, Jian Ziyan walked in: "Boss, the mud snail is here."
"Nud snail?" Wang Yi came to his senses: "Please invite her in."
Ni Luo is the author of "Wuxin Master".
A few days ago, Wang Yi discovered that she had also signed into Meiyou's novel, so he invited her to come to the imperial capital.
Wang Yi wrote the outline and Yu Wanwan wrote the novel. It is not as good as the original author himself.
Soon, Mud Snail walked in, looking a little restrained.
Wang Yi smiled slightly and communicated with Niluo.
I discovered that the novel she was planning to write was not "Wuxin Master", but she had conceived novels with strange themes about the Republic of China.
Wang Yi decisively followed this direction and chatted with Niluo about the plot outline and settings of "Wuxin Master".
Niluo was so happy that he immediately decided to put the new book on hold for the time being and start writing one with a theme of the Republic of China!
The title of the book is just as Wang Yi said, called "Master Wuxin"!
Wang Yi was very satisfied: "This subject has a future, come on, you can do it."
"Thank you, Chairman, I will open the book when I get back!"
After seeing off the mud snails, Wang Yi was in a good mood.
When the first part of "Master Wu Xin" is written, filming will begin in the second half of the year and will be released the year after that, no problem at all!
As for the follow-up matters, leave it to Kucha, Wang Yicai didn't bother to care.
Then, Gu Qing walked in:
"Chairman, the signing with Tangren has been completed. Hu Xiaoyao signed a 20-year long-term contract, and Gu Lina also signed a 15-year contract. Do you think the filming of "Nirvana in Fire" can be put on the schedule?"
Wang Yi nodded: "Okay, Hu Xiaoyao will be the male lead, and Zhao Xiaodao will be the female lead. As for Gu Lina, let's arrange a third, fourth, and fifth female lead. Let Noon Sunshine go all out and start filming as soon as possible!"
"good!"
Wang Yi didn't bother to pay attention to what happened next.
From now on, the affairs of artists and filming will be left to Gu Qing.
The matter of Xingyi Video and copyright acquisition was left to Ye Changpeng.
[PS: The entertainment plot is simply written like this.]
Ignoring these, Wang Yi continued to think about Sohu's problems.
As one of the four major portals, it is the Whampoa Military Academy of the Internet.
The current Sohu is an aristocrat that is about to decline.
The reason for its decline is also diversified development!
But unfortunately, BAT's diversified development is more or less supported by its top-notch core business.
Even if other businesses fail, Baidu still has search, Alibaba still has e-commerce, and Tencent still has social networking.
As long as the fundamentals are stable, no matter how many failures you fail, you will never die.
But Sohu doesn’t have the diversification of its basic base!
Sohu does everything, but does nothing well, and even loses its basic base!
Sohu Video is not as good as Youku, Tudou, 56.com, and is even about to be surpassed by the emerging iQiyi.
Search engines are not as good as Baidu and Google.
The browser is not as good as 360, IE.
Changyou games are not as good as Tencent and NetEase.
Sohu Weibo is not as good as Sina Weibo and Tencent Weibo.
Even the most core basic portal websites are being surpassed by Sina, NetEase, and Tencent.
Sohu used to be the top 2 portal website!
It’s almost fourth now!
Sohu can continue to prosper if it has its basic base. Once it loses its basic base, Sohu's future will only be bleak.
Even the glory of the moment is just a mirror, a castle in the air.
Wang Yi burst into laughter. Sohu and HTC were born from the same mother. They both look beautiful on the outside but are full of dangers on the inside!
But it was precisely because of this that Wang Yi was given the opportunity.
As long as Sohu has unlimited prospects, it will not separate Sogou and introduce it to Alibaba, nor will it package it and sell it to Tencent in a few years.
This time, Wang Yi has to accept it in advance!
Sogou is worthless at the moment. If it costs 1.5 billion yuan, it would be very cost-effective to take over the entire Sogou and suddenly have Sogou search engine, Sogou browser, Sogou map, and Sogou input method!
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Yi came to Sohu headquarters.
"Director Wang, welcome to Sohu!" Zhang Yang smiled and extended his hand.
"Hello, Director Zhang!"
Looking at the person in front of him, Wang Yi looked a little complicated.
If BAT is the current three Internet giants, then Sohu, Sina, and NetEase are the three established Internet giants!
In fact, the development of the domestic Internet has gone through several eras.
The first era is the era of the three old Internet giants.
From the 1990s until 2005, the three domestic Internet giants were Sina, Sohu, and NetEase!
At that time, Chairman Ma listened to the speech of Zhang Yang, the founder of Sohu, and benefited a lot from it, and founded Tencent.
Jack Ma also applied for a job at Sohu, but was rejected!
Later, Zhang Yang invited Jack Ma to dinner. Jack Ma talked endlessly about e-commerce and Taobao, hoping to get investment from Sohu.
But it's a pity that Zhang Yang ignored Taobao and missed this wave of huge wealth. On the contrary, SoftBank's grandson took advantage!
The second era, the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period!
From 2004 to 2005, Shanda, Tencent, and Baidu went public one after another, exploded rapidly, and began to challenge the established three giants.
The domestic Internet landscape has changed from the old three giants of Sina, Sohu, and NetEase to Sina, Sohu, NetEase, Tencent, Baidu, Alibaba, and the grand Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period!
At that time, there was not much difference in strength between the seven heroes of the Warring States Period. Each had its own strengths and weaknesses, and no one could completely dominate them.
The third era, the BAT era.
In 2011, Baidu, Tencent, and Alibaba emerged from the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, ushering in a new era of BAT’s Big Three!
Of course, BAT is not the absolute leader at the current stage. There are also several giants, 360, Thunder Series (Kingsoft + Xiaomi), and JD.com, which should not be underestimated!
Therefore, in addition to BAT, there is another name called "BAT3", BAT+360.
Or "TABLE", BAT+Thunder +360.
and “BATJ”, BAT+JD.com.
In the previous life, a few years later there was a new "TMD" combination, Toutiao + Meituan + Didi.
But soon, Didi committed suicide and became useless.
Toutiao’s power is terrifying, but it doesn’t go public and becomes a super unicorn.
The "MMP" combination has appeared again, Meituan, Xiaomi and Pinduoduo!
…
But these were all from the past life. With the appearance of Wang Yi, everything changed.
The node where Wang Yi appears is at the end of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period and the beginning of BAT!
"Director Wang, have you ever heard of BAT?" Zhang Yang said casually while taking Wang Yi to visit Sohu.
However, Zhang Yang spoke casually, but Wang Yi could see the complexity in his eyes.
After all, his younger brothers and fans have become the Big Three that surpass him!
This feeling would be uncomfortable for anyone!
Can you look complicated?
Wang Yi laughed dumbly: "I've heard of it."
"I've heard that you dare to fight Baidu to death. It's really impressive! Their market value is 280 billion, but they are the leader of BAT!" Zhang Yang couldn't laugh or cry.
"It's 265 billion!" Wang Yi smiled slightly: "Last night, I killed them for 15 billion!"
"..." Zhang Yang was stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Then he looked up to the sky and laughed: "Hahaha!"
"Dr. Wang, well done!"
"Made, I've been unhappy with Baidu for a long time, but I just can't beat him!"
"When I was so awesome, he, Old Li, was still a student!"
Wang Yi could see that Lao Zhang felt aggrieved by being suppressed by Baidu!
Sohu has core business conflicts with Baidu and Tencent, but it has little conflict with Wang Yi.
The only conflicting businesses are Sohu Video and Xingyi Video, which is harmless.
Internet giants have always competed and cooperated at the same time.
There is nothing we can do about this.
But the conflict between Sohu and Baidu is serious!
Not only has Sogou search engine, which invested heavily in development, been suppressed by Baidu search engine, its market share is less than a fraction of Baidu's.
Even Sogou Maps was overtaken by Baidu Maps.
Baidu Video + iQiyi has seriously impacted Sohu Video.
That's all. Last year, Baidu started making Baidu input method again, targeting Sogou input method!
There is also Baidu Browser launched this year, which will impact Sogou Browser again!
Whatever Sohu has, Baidu will fix it!
This posture is completely aimed at destroying Sogou!
Is it tolerable or not?
Can Zhang Yang not be angry?
So angry!
It is this kind of anger that makes Wang Yi and Zhang Yang share the same hatred and have the basis for cooperation.
Wang Yi smiled: "Yes, Lao Li is too unprincipled in his work. He can't do our Xingyi Video. He directly uses his monopoly position to block and suppress him. How shameless!"
"Haha, Baidu has gone too far in this matter!" Zhang Yang nodded and agreed: "When Xingyi Mobile becomes bigger and has more than 50 million users, we will directly block him!"
"Okay, write this down in advance." Wang Yi was dumbfounded, Lao Zhang was also a temperamental person: "But a gentleman's revenge, seize the day. Wait for Xingyi mobile phone sales to exceed 50 million, it will take two years, it is too slow, I am now
I just want to work at Baidu!”
Lao Zhang opened his mouth, not knowing what to say: "..."
He patted Wang Yi on the shoulder for a long time: "Brother Wang, I understand your mood and your ambitions are lofty, but you have to take your time. It takes two or three years to accumulate strength and work on Baidu. It is worth it. But now,
Not much hope!"
"Really?" Wang Yi smiled slightly and didn't think so.
It takes two or three years to avenge the ban, which is really too slow!
Zhang Yang nodded: "Yes, we Sohu also want to join Baidu, but there is no way. We have been keeping a low profile for many years and have not found a suitable opportunity, so last year we made Sogou independent and introduced Alibaba funds! We thought of leveraging our strength and through the cooperation with Baidu.
Alibaba Alliance, overthrow Baidu..."
Having said this, Zhang Yang fell silent.
Wang Yi took over the conversation: "It's a pity that the ideal is very full and the reality is very skinny. After Alibaba became a shareholder, it had no intention of investing heavily, so Sogou still couldn't beat Baidu, and was still suppressed by Baidu. Even Alibaba was ready to give up and
Cooperation with Sohu.”
Zhang Yang was a little surprised. He didn't expect Wang Yi to see so clearly, but he still nodded: "That's right. Alas!"
A sigh of helplessness.
One is the declining old three giants, and the other is the emerging leader of BAT!
The businesses of the two parties are almost completely in conflict. Sohu wants to pull a tooth out of Baidu's mouth, and Baidu also wants to completely strangle Sohu. There is no room for relaxation at all!
However, Alibaba is not strong enough. Sohu alone cannot hold Baidu back.
"To be honest, Brother Wang, both Sohu and Sogou are powerless when facing Baidu. Their market value is 265 billion, and ours is 27 billion. There is a ten-fold difference!"
Looking at Zhang Yang's lonely expression, Wang Yi waved his hand: "Whether it's Xingyi Technology or Sohu, they are far behind Baidu. But in fact, it is not hopeless to succeed at Baidu. The key is to concentrate your efforts!"
"Concentrate your strength?" Zhang Yang frowned slightly: "Wang Dong, what do you mean?"
Wang Yi narrated: "If we start a small and powerful attack, if we attack in an all-out way, we will have no chance of winning. In the end, we will only be consumed by Baidu. But if we integrate resources, concentrate our strength, and launch a strong attack from Baidu's weak single business, we will have a strong attack."
If there is a breakthrough, there will be hope!”
Zhang Yang understood the implication of Wang Yi's words: "Director Wang, do you mean to invest in Sohu?"
Wang Yi waved his hand: "No, Sohu is your industry, and I have no intention of getting involved. At most, it is just resource exchange and integration. At present, Sohu and Sogou have to fight against Baidu and attack on two fronts. They are simply unable to do what they want and do not have so many resources."
Zhang Yang nodded: "That's right, even a single line is difficult."
Wang Yitu said: "So, Director Zhang, you can sell Sogou to me! With Sogou, our Xingyi Technology can counterattack Baidu strongly in terms of search engine + browser. And Sohu has sufficient funds, and
Can strongly attack Baidu’s other businesses!”
"This..." Zhang Yang fell into deep thought and hesitated.
He thought Wang Yi came today to invest.
Unexpectedly, it was to acquire Sogou!
Think about it, Xingyi Video was blocked by Baidu search, Wang Yi can only look for other search engines, if it is an acquisition, he can only choose Sogou!
After all, Tencent Sosou cannot sell it!
But I couldn’t bear to sell it to Sogou like this!
Seeing Zhang Yang's hesitation, Wang Yi continued: "If Director Zhang doesn't sell Sogou, neither Sohu nor Sogou will be able to compete with Baidu. But after selling it, we will take action together and concentrate our efforts, and the chance of winning will be greatly increased!"
Zhang Yang thought for a while: "What you said makes sense, but this matter is too big and I have to consider it carefully."
"Consider it carefully?" Wang Yi smiled: "Director Zhang, you should be very clear about Sohu's current situation. Five years ago, Baidu was not as good as Sohu, but now, Baidu is equivalent to 10 Sohu!"
"It covers everything, but it doesn't cover everything. If you want Sohu and Sogou, both Sohu and Sogou will fail in the end."
"If we don't consolidate resources and attack with force, in five years' time, how much market value do you think Sohu will have left? How far will Baidu develop? How much market share will it leave for Sohu?"
"this……"
Zhang Yang's whole body felt bad.
Wang Yi did not make alarmist remarks, on the contrary, he made every statement reasonable.
Sohu + Sogou wanted both, but their funds were limited, so neither could develop in the end.
It is better to sell Sogou, obtain funds, and use Sohu to focus on attack!
As for selling Sohu and keeping Sogou...
This is unrealistic.
First of all, Sohu is the foundation, and Sogou is just the new business.
Secondly, portals, Changyou games, etc. are all very mature and profitable, and they have even gone public.
However, Sogou Browser and Sogou Search Engine do not have high market shares, and they are both in the process of development. They can only make a steady stream of money, and it is difficult to make any progress!
And Sohu simply cannot afford this level of money burning.
For example, it would be unrealistic to bring Sogou search to the level of Baidu search without billions of dollars.
Sohu simply can’t afford it!
It is for this reason that Sohu introduced Alibaba and made Sogou independent.
Search engines cost so much money that even Sohu can’t afford it.
Seeing that Zhang Yang was still hesitating, Wang Yi continued:
"With the foundation of Xingyi Mobile, even if Baidu blocks it, Xingyi Video will not lack users. At most, the development will be slower and it will take longer. But what about Sohu?"
"There are a lot of pirated videos on Baidu, and iQiyi is a legitimate platform to grab users. If Sohu Video continues to develop like this, how long can it last?"
Zhang Yang was speechless: "..."
Wang Yi continued: "There are also portals. The future is the mobile Internet era, and computer portals are destined to decline or even be abandoned by the times. Once the basic base of portals is lost, how much development can Sohu have? How much time is left for Sohu?
,Running out."
Listening to Wang Yi's earnest words, Zhang Yang broke into a cold sweat and thought a lot in that moment.
As Wang Yi said, once the basic base of the portal website is lost and other businesses cannot take the lead, Sohu will be finished!
What should I do?
Unless resources are concentrated to find new breakthrough points.
Find new pillar industries before losing the basic base of portal websites.
Looking at the current business, Sogou Input Method and Sogou Browser cannot shoulder the heavy responsibility, so there is no need to consider it.
Then you can only look at Sohu Weibo, Sohu Video, Changyou Games, and Sogou search engines!
But Sogou’s search engine is far behind Baidu, and it’s too expensive, so there’s no hope.
You can only use Sohu Weibo, Sohu Video and Changyou Games!
For these three, there are also many competitors, and they also need to burn a lot of money to stand out!
Thinking about it this way, selling Sogou to Wang Yi and taking the money to focus on developing Sohu Video, Sohu Weibo and Changyou Games is also a way out!
Zhang Yang thought about this clearly and looked at Wang Yi: "Frankly speaking, I don't plan to sell Sogou for the time being."
Wang Yi smiled, but he couldn't believe that Zhang Yang wasn't moved even though he analyzed it so thoroughly?
Most likely they are waiting for Wang Yi to quote!
"Director Zhang, don't rush to conclusions, I will give Sogou a beautiful price!" Wang Yixiao said.
"What's the price?" Zhang Yang's eyes lit up, and then quickly returned to normal.
But this momentary change of expression was still noticed by Wang Yi.
Sure enough, Sohu is short of money right now!
It’s not that this guy doesn’t want to sell, he just wants a high price!
"Last year, Alibaba purchased 10% of Sohu's shares for US$15 million, with a valuation of US$500 million, or almost 9.8 billion yuan."
"Yes, but that was last year's price!"
Wang Yi nodded: "This year, I will give you a fixed price of 1.5 billion yuan! In one year, the increase has exceeded 50%. This price should be very beautiful."
"This..." Zhang Yang's expression was a little complicated. If he said he wasn't moved, it would be a lie.
Sohu's current market capitalization is only 27 billion. Sogou, a small subsidiary, is valued at 1.5 billion before it is listed, which is indeed impressive.
But when selling something, I want a higher price!
Wang Yi smiled slightly: "Director Zhang, as long as you are willing to sell, I will immediately arrange the acquisition and transfer. With this fund, Sohu will make further progress. If there is no such fund, Sohu and Sogou will
The two-line development of Baidu will only be destroyed by Baidu's two lines. It will only be stretched and the future will be bleak."
Zhang Yang nodded: "Director Wang, I understand what you mean, but this is a big matter. Give me two days and I will think about it!"
"Okay! Then I will wait for Zhang Dongjia's news."
Wang Yi said with a smile, exchanged pleasantries and left Sohu.
Zhang Yang had to think about such a big matter for two days.
After Wang Yi left, Zhang Yang immediately called Sogou founder Wang Dachuan:
"Dachuan, Director Wang came just now."
"Director Wang of Xingyi Technology!" Wang Dachuan said with joy: "Director Wang wants to form an alliance with us to jointly fight against Baidu?"
Zhang Yang stared at Wang Dachuan for a while and shook his head: "No, he wants to acquire Sogou!"
"This..." Wang Dachuan was startled and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Never would I have thought that Wang Yi would not follow common sense and directly acquire the company!
How!
"Dachuan, what do you think about this?"
Wang Dachuan's mouth twitched: "..."
How can I see? How can I see?
One side is the sponsor, the other side is the old club, I can’t say anything.
Zhang Yang patted Wang Dachuan on the shoulder: "Don't be stressed, just say what you want to say!"
"Okay!" Wang Dachuan took a deep breath and said:
"At present, both Sohu and Sogou are being suppressed by Baidu and are struggling to cope. Our market value is only one-tenth of Baidu. Fighting on two fronts, there is really no chance of winning. If we sell one front, replace it with ammunition, concentrate our firepower, and
Another line is attacking Baidu, but there is still hope.”
Hearing this, Zhang Yang didn't say anything, he just stared at Wang Dachuan for a long time!
Such familiar words, exactly the same as what Wang Yi said!
Could it be that he had already met Wang Dachuan before Wang Yi came?
The two of them had already reached some consensus?
Even Wang Dachuan has become Wang Yi's man long ago?
Even if they don't sell Sogou, Wang Yi can poach Wang Dachuan and make their own search engine!
If so, that would be troublesome.
Being stared at by Zhang Yang like this, Wang Dachuan was a little frightened and said quickly: "Chairman, I am telling you nonsense, don't take it seriously!"
"Haha, it's okay." Zhang Yang came back to his senses: "What you said is right, and what Mr. Wang said is equally right!"
Wang Dachuan: "..."
"You go ahead and do your work first while I think about this."
"Okay, Chairman." Wang Dachuan left the office, feeling a little sad in his heart.
'From what the chairman said, he suspects that my relationship with Director Wang is too close!'
'Unjustly accused!'
'I have never met Director Wang at all!'
'Alas! Once you have this kind of suspicion, it will be even more difficult to trust again!'
Wang Dachuan's expression was extremely complicated.
The current relationship between Sogou and Sohu is too subtle.
Sogou wants to develop, but Sohu can’t afford it.
Sogou wants to liberalize financing, but Sohu is firmly in control and refuses to agree!
This is the biggest contradiction right now.
It is precisely because of this that the rift between Sogou and Sohu is getting bigger and bigger.
In the previous life, Sohu packaged Sogou and sold it to Goose Factory, which was largely due to the same reason.
Trust is difficult to build but easy to destroy.
After Wang Dachuan left, Zhang Yang immediately called his subordinates: "Go and check who Wang Dachuan has met during this time? Check also the current business development of Xingyi Technology!"
"Yes!" the subordinate responded and hurriedly did it.
One day later, Zhang Yang looked at the information checked by his subordinates and frowned slightly: "Wang Dachuan and Director Wang have never met?"
"No, let alone Director Wang, Wang Dachuan has not seen anyone from Xingyi Technology!"
"Okay, very good." Zhang Yang breathed a sigh of relief and began to look at Xingyi Technology's current business again:
"Started in clothing, vertical e-commerce, beauty, "Defend Grapefruit", novels, mobile phones, Xingyi Video, Xingyi Music..."
Zhang Yang sighed: "Now that Sogou is being acquired again, Director Wang has great ambitions. Is he building an ecosystem and becoming the fourth pole besides BTA?"
The subordinate nodded: "That should be the case. Director Wang also built a new clothing factory in Jeju, a mobile phone factory with an annual output of 50 million!"
"How much?" Zhang Yang was completely shocked.
"Fifty million!"
Zhang Yang was silent: "..."
"The Imperial Factory is expanding, and after ramping up its production capacity, the annual production capacity will reach 30 million, and the Jeju factory will reach 50 million, which adds up to 80 million! Are Xingyi mobile phone sales going to 80 million next year?"
"How can this be?"
"crazy!"
"It's so crazy!"
"???" The subordinates were also shocked: "Boss, Director Wang is crazy!"
"If he is not crazy, he has a bigger plot! How can he sell 80 million a year? Could it be that he wants to be a modern factory? The second Foxconn?"
Zhang Yang scratched his head and couldn't figure out the reason for a while.
"By the way, Chairman, Director Wang is also planning to build a flat panel factory, a smart TV factory, and a smart home factory in Jeju and Daocheng!"
"Xingyi mobile phone + tablet + smart TV + smart home + Xingyi video + Xingyi music + XUI ecosystem, plus Sogou search engine + Sogou browser + input method + Sogou map!"
Zhang Yang smiled: "Dr. Wang's ambition is not ordinary!"
"It seems that Director Wang is determined to become the fourth giant after BAT!"
The subordinate nodded: "That should be the case. It is estimated that it will become BATX in the next year or so!"
Zhang Yang smiled slightly: "Whether it's BATX or XBAT, it's all fun. With the addition of Wang Dong, BAT's melee will be more interesting. The more ferocious they fight, the greater our chances!"
"Chairman, do you mean to sell Sogou to Wang Yi?"
"Why not?" Zhang Yang said with a smile:
"With Sogou in our hands, we don't have enough funds to develop. We are destined to be beaten to death by Baidu and ultimately lose everything. It is better to sell it to Director Wang now. We have an extra 1.5 billion and can better develop Sohu. Director Wang
With Sogou, we can also challenge BAT and give BAT a headache. When BATX fights, we will have more opportunities!"
"Good idea!" The subordinate gave a thumbs up.
“Convene a board meeting!”
"yes!"
December 15th.
Song Sining came to the investment conference room and started a three-party meeting.
The meeting was organized by the province and was attended by Jeju, Daocheng and Xingyi Technology.
Director Huang, who came from the province, was the first to speak: "The matter of the three factories and one center of Xingyi Technology has been delayed for a long time. There must be results today, and the construction of the factory and the development of the enterprise cannot be delayed!"
"???" Director Daocheng Lin was confused: "Isn't it the three major factories? What is the first center?"
"Oh, I forgot to tell you that Xingyi Technology wanted to invest in building a data center two days ago." Director Hong said with a smile.
Director Lin's face turned dark: "..."
He didn't get any news at all and was passive. There is a high probability that this data center will be located in Jeju!
But it’s okay, we have to grab two of the remaining three major factories!
Director Huang continued: "The first is the smart TV factory!"
Director Lin took the lead and said: "The island city has Hisense and a complete TV industry chain. Xingyi Technology's smart TV factory has great advantages in being located in the island city. It can also join forces with Hisense to form a complete TV industry cluster!"
After that, Director Lin looked at Song Sining: "President Song, we will provide Xingyi Technology with a smart TV factory with an annual production capacity of 10 million for free, and there will also be an open space of the same size that can be developed again later, and we will provide tax incentives.
Waiting for a series of subsidies!”
"Thank you, Director Lin. Director Wang is also willing to put the TV factory in the island city!"
"Very good, the smart TV factory is in Daocheng." Director Huang smiled: "As for the second tablet factory..."
Director Hong did his part: "Tablet and mobile phone businesses are similar, and many components are common. It is best to place it near the Jeju Xingyi mobile phone factory. Jeju provides a tablet factory with an annual production capacity of 10 million for free, and there is also an open space for the development of the second phase of the project.
!And tax incentives.”
Song Sining was secretly happy, this would be perfect.
The production capacity of 10 million is enough for now.
If that’s not enough, the second phase of expansion will be it!
The same goes for TV factories.
"Okay, then the tablet factory will be given to Jeju." Director Huang nodded: "The remaining data center and smart home factory will also be one on each side!"
Director Hong agreed very much: "No problem, we in Jeju will build a data center for Xingyi Technology that can accommodate 100,000 servers, and provide special electricity subsidies for cloud data, with a discount of 35 cents per unit!"
Song Sining's eyebrows were filled with joy: "Three cents and a half, so cheap!"
The peak price of electricity for industrial and commercial use is generally around NT$1, and the low price is NT$30.
The data center operates 24 hours a day, and it only costs 60 cents after all discounts.
Now Jeju directly subsidizes it to 35 cents, which can only be said to be very cheap!
This is also the reason why Wang Yi chose to build the data center in Jeju. With the strategic partnership with Jeju, he can get the most preferential policies!
Director Hong applied for this special subsidy for cloud data electricity bills in the past two days, making an exception!
It can only be said that in order to grab the Xingyi Technology Cloud Data Center and build a data center industry cluster, Jeju is also fighting hard and spending money on subsidies!
