Reinventing the Millennium.

Chapter 496 Wait for the Notice (Two in One)

On May 5, the Internet Industry Development Conference continued its schedule for the second day.

In addition to the sudden rise of e-commerce, including Sina blogs, network applications and other fields, there are many things worth talking about.

However, to the regret of many people, they did not see Mr. Fang from Yike attending again today. This inevitably made those who were hesitant to bother Mr. Fang to exchange contact information a little bit disappointed yesterday.

Lei Jun, who sold Joyo.com, really wanted to have a chat with the richest man in the mainland who competed in the U.S. market with his products, about investment, about the Internet, and of course, about life as well.

This time, with the money given by Amazon, he has realized his personal freedom of wealth, but he always feels a little uneasy.

It's a pity that Mr. Fang didn't come, so we can only wait for the next time.

Lei Jun found Mr. Fang's number from someone else, stored it in his mobile phone, and sat silently in the back row listening to the opinions of the bigwigs on the future of the industry.

In Lin'an at the end of May, the willows and willows are full of spring.

Fang Zhuo did not attend the meeting, and also postponed his plan to go to Luzhou for half a day to meet the girl Tao Shuyao whom Qiu Lanhua introduced to him due to affection.

Last night, when the drinking party was over, he remembered to call Qiu Lanhua to inquire about her situation.

Qiu Lanhua was surprised, and felt wronged by Fang Zhuo's slight dissatisfaction.

According to Mr. Fang's itinerary, this meeting was originally to meet Tao Shuyao after he attended the meeting and inspected the ice core before flying from Shanghai to Houston.

Who would have thought that Tao Shuyao actually saw someone at the meeting in Lin'an.

Qiu Lanhua originally wanted to meet President Fang himself to talk about it in detail, and it was also formal, but now they can only talk on the phone.

The girl's background is not complicated. She was born in a compound, grew up in a compound, and studied at Tsinghua University. Her father is the deputy director of a certain committee, and she is the second child in her family. Another uncle is the deputy head of a certain province in central China.

Her mother teaches at the National People's Congress, and an older brother works at the grassroots level.

As for grandparents, they are already retired.

Qiu Lanhua used to work with Tao Shuyao's father, and now they have always had a good relationship, and she also feels very good about girls.

He used to think that Fang was always a workaholic and devoted himself to his career, but now he suddenly found that Shitou had opened his mind and went to the United States to play basketball, so he thought it would be a favor for him to introduce him.

To this...

Fang Zhuo thanked the old leader and planned to give him a few more pots of orchids after returning to Shencheng.

The girl's family background is good, but, not to mention what's in her heart, in Fang Zhuo's view, this is not a plus.

If he was just starting out and had such favor, he might be really moved, but to this day, he doesn't feel that he still needs to use this method to strengthen his influence in a certain aspect.

If I really want to strengthen my influence, I will go to Zhejiang Province with ice cores on my shoulders, and say that I will settle here, and then I will have a future friendship with me.

The reason why I didn't do this is because of the development of the ice core itself. In addition... don't rush for a while, and talk about the second or third production line later when I have money.

Once the ice core can be made, its dimensional influence will exceed that of Sina and Yike.

Fang Zhuo felt that the words "close to the government and stay away from politics" made sense, and he just wanted to do his own thing well.

At eleven o'clock in the morning, Yi Ke and his party parked three cars beside the West Lake.

Afterwards, the others ate and went shopping, leaving the boss alone to look at the lake view and think about life.

Fang Zhuo and Tao Shu met at 11:[-], and he arrived half an hour earlier because he wanted to see the scenery of his hometown by the lake.

"Hi, Mr. Fang."

After not sitting for a while, a crisp greeting sounded from behind, but it turned out that Tao Shuyao had also arrived early.

Willow Yiyi by the lake, the girl's white skirt is fluttering.

"Hey, hello, Tao Shuyao." Fang Zhuo got up, he really had no experience with this kind of meeting, "Are you early? Let's sit in the restaurant opposite? The lake view there is very nice."

Tao Shuyao said generously: "It's still early, and this place is also very good, you can sit for a while first."

She was the first to sit on a bench by the lake.

Fang Zhuo also sat down, and then looked back at the other side of the road, suddenly suspecting that his subordinates who had been given a noon leave by him would nestle up and watch this side.

Maybe the West Lake is so beautiful.

The two spent 3 minutes in silence.

"The weather is fine, which is rare."

It was Fang Zhuo who spoke.

Tao Shuyao looked at the shimmering surface of the lake, and said with a smile, "The weather in Lin'an these days is pretty good."

"Lin'an will be the rainy season next month, and it will be quite uncomfortable at that time, but in April, the spring rain here will be continuous and the air will be relatively humid." Fang Zhuo is naturally very familiar when talking about his hometown, "This month, the temperature is rising, There is not so much rain, it is a standard Jiangnan scenery."

Tao Shuyao tilted her head and blinked: "In late spring and March, the grass grows in the south of the Yangtze River, the peanut trees are mixed, and the orioles are flying around?"

Fang Zhuo nodded: "Well, it's like this. The late spring and March here are on the lunar calendar, so it's a good time for you to come here for a stroll."

Tao Shuyao asked curiously, "Boss Fang is very familiar with Lin'an?"

"After all, this is mine..." Fang Zhuo almost expressed his deep love for this land, and he paused naturally, "It's the place where my Guahao.com developed. I stayed in Lin'an for quite a while at that time." Long."

"Mr. Fang, why did you choose Guahao.com to start a business?" Tao Shu knew this person's past in a general way, but it was also easier to focus on the current Yike and Sina.

Because, at that time, Song Ruhua could chat and laugh on the Internet in the wasteland of the circle, and at that time, he had a lot of money and needed a name.

Fang Zhuo recalled: "It's a chance meeting, and it's just a step by step. I didn't expect the link to gradually go smoothly, so of course I will work hard to continue."

Tao Shuyao asked, "President Fang, are you puzzled by the policy change?"

In fact, what she wants to ask more is if there is any resentment?
Fang Zhuo smiled and said, "I'm fine, maybe my friends are even more sad."

He continued: "As an entrepreneur, my focus is on the development of emerging industries, but administrative policies must take into account the overall situation and the national economy and people's livelihood. I quite understand."

Fang Zhuo thought for a while: "If I wasn't so busy in Lin'an at that time, I could slow down and take a look here, maybe I still have more choices."

Tao Shuyao blinked in confusion.

"Lin'an is a famous clothing wholesale city in China, do you know why?" Fang Zhuo glanced at the girl.

Tao Shuyao thought for ten seconds, and then showed a small smile: "Well, it can't be because of too much rain, can it?"

"Haha, there is a lot of rain and there is not enough clothes to change, so the clothing business here is very good. If I didn't go to the capital at that time, I would devote myself to making clothes here in Lin'an. After waiting for two years, relying on the popularity of e-commerce, I might become a clothing tycoon. "Fang Zhuo got up and said, "Let's go, let's go to the restaurant to drink and chat."

Tao Shuyao stood up and asked, "I heard your speech yesterday, do you really think eBay will lose in the Chinese market?"

"Of course." Fang Zhuo nodded slightly.

Tao Shuyao said worriedly: "However, eBay is so strong and its market value is so high."

"I said yesterday that the market value cannot determine everything, otherwise the companies would just sit down and compare the market value." Fang Zhuo explained, "eBay is indeed very strong, but it has competitors in the global market, and it is impossible to concentrate on it here. .”

"What Whitman said was intimidating. What I said to her was not intimidating at all."

"Ali completed a financing of hundreds of millions of dollars at the beginning of this year, and Mr. Ma's Taobao has already prepared for the competition."

"Dangdang also took a sum of money not long ago. Although it is not too much, it is enough to stabilize it in the book track."

"Well, I invested in Dangdang's money."

"I really hope that Dangdang can open up more tracks, burn more money and compete more, but..."

Fang Zhuo took Tao Shuyao to sit by the window on the second floor, did not continue talking, and showed her the menu.

Some signature dishes that need time to cook have already been ordered, and the girl can order what she likes.

Tao Shuyao randomly ordered two dishes, and continued the topic just now: "But, they don't want to burn more money, do they?"

"President Yu of Dangdang, she has been doing finance on Wall Street for several years." Fang Zhuo was a little helpless, "Maybe because of this experience, she is very cautious about the process of investment→burning money→investment. When I invest in Dangdang, they give priority It’s about corporate control.”

Tao Shuyao asked, "Shouldn't it be considered?"

"It can be considered, but we can't give up the period of rapid growth of the company because of such considerations. Otherwise, when the market situation is settled, it will not only not get enough shares, but its own may be eroded." Fang Zhuo said lightly, "burning money It’s burning money, but why do Taobao, Amazon, and eBay burn? It also confirms everyone’s unanimous optimism.”

"Dangdang has had a good start. If Li Guoqing and Yu Yu can be cautious and bold, the field of e-commerce can bring more possibilities."

Tao Shuyao complimented: "After all, not everyone looks like Mr. Fang."

Yes, that's how it feels.

Fang Zhuo talked about e-commerce, and felt the usual compliments, subconsciously said: "Little Tao, what major are you studying?"

Tao Shuyao was taken aback, but still replied, "Management science and engineering."

Fang Zhuo was also taken aback.

Tao Shuyao said again, "It's the Department of Water Conservancy and Hydropower Engineering."

Fang Zhuo was a bit at a loss. He told Lao Qiu on the phone yesterday about the girl's family background, but he really didn't ask about the major. The management science and engineering of the Department of Water Conservancy and Hydropower Engineering...exceeded expectations.

Tao Shuyao looked at the young CEO in front of him, waiting for his evaluation.

Fang Zhuo choked out a sentence: "Well, how is the employment situation?"

"It's quite extensive." Tao Shuyao paused, and couldn't help laughing, "Should I study art, music, or business?"

"No, no, I really rarely come into contact with this professional talent." Fang Zhuo pondered, "Water conservancy and hydropower..."

"President Fang, don't rack your brains, let's talk about the weather." Tao Shuyao suppressed a smile, "My research direction is actually logistics engineering and management."

Fang Zhuo asked blankly, "Manage the ship?"

Tao Shuyao said solemnly: "I don't care."

"Okay, okay." Fang Zhuo said for two seconds, and said, "In fact, the logistics of e-commerce will develop greatly, and this direction is good..."

"So, I'm also here to listen to the content of your industry meeting. I took the liberty yesterday. I'm a little curious about you." Tao Shuyao said generously when talking about what happened yesterday, "I thought Uncle Qiu had told you about it."

"Well, the main reason is that my schedule is quite tight." Fang Zhuo looked at the Linglang dishes that were gradually being served, and then at the pretty girl. Because of the unfamiliarity of water, electricity and water conservancy, the rhythm of the conversation was interrupted, and suddenly he didn't know what to do. continue.

Fortunately, the easiest topic to talk about at the dinner table is the taste of food.

With the mentality of not being hostile, Fang Zhuo recombined with the other party's professional background to construct some emotions, and chatted about the table food and various cuisines.

Tao Shuyao listened carefully, and occasionally shared some top chef recipes she had eaten.

The meeting between the two didn't say how speculative it was, and the atmosphere wasn't awkward.

The meal was neither too long nor too short.

Near one o'clock, Fang Zhuo stood at the door of the restaurant and said politely, "I'll take you home."

"No, no, no, I'm actually very close. It takes only 5 minutes to walk there. This time I'm going out with the school team for a small inspection." Tao Shuyao stroked the ends of her hair blown away by the wind, hesitated for a moment, slightly Looking up, he asked, "You, what do you think of me?"

Say it's fine, then it may progress quickly.

To put it badly, it is to offend people.

Fang Zhuo really didn't have such experience, especially the other party's family background is quite deep, he hesitated for two seconds, as if sending an offer, nodded and said: "It's the first time we meet, I'll tell the truth, it's okay."

It's ok, go back and wait for the notification.

Tao Shuyao pursed her lips and nodded lightly: "I'm okay too, so how about I bring you two books on logistics engineering and management next time?"

Fang Zhuo was amused, and agreed: "Okay, keep learning, I really don't know how to manage the boat."

Tao Shuyao looked at the young CEO with a smile on her face: "Well, see you next time."

She turned around lightly and slowly disappeared from Fang Zhuo's sight.

Fang Zhuo shook his head slightly, and got into the car: "Let's go to Luzhou."

Secretary Zhao Zhishan sat in the passenger seat, excited: "Let's go to Luzhou!"

Fang Zhuo wondered, "Xiao Zhao, what are you excited about?"

"No, Mr. Fang, I'm very calm!" Zhao Zhishan replied.

Fang Zhuo: "..."

Halfway through the drive, Shen Cheng called.

"Boss Fang, how are you doing?" Qiu Lanhua asked with concern.

"How about what? How should it be?" Fang Zhuo asked back.

"Of course, how do you feel about Tao Shuyao?" Qiu Lanhua said.

Fang Zhuo thought for two seconds: "I don't hate it."

Qiu Lanhua was afraid that she would not understand the thoughts of young people, so she asked, "What do you mean not to hate? Do you hate me?"

"What is this all about?" Fang Zhuo was a little annoyed.

Qiu Lanhua also felt that the question was inappropriate. After thinking about it, she asked, "Do you hate Su Wei? Do you hate Yu Hong? I think they are pretty good-looking in your company."

"You..." Fang Zhuo didn't answer.

Qiu Lanhua was a little anxious: "Boss Fang, I have to figure it out. If I don't figure out this kind of thing, am I offending people on both sides? If you don't hate it, can we continue talking?"

"Almost." Fang Zhuo criticized again, "Could it be possible for young people in the new era to settle down after meeting?"

"Well, it doesn't have to be finalized, but if you and Tao Shuyao are sure, I have an old leader's daughter who studied at Oxford Business School." Qiu Lanhua said seriously, "The family background is also good, and you just returned to Shanghai See you sometime."

"Old Qiu, that's enough, stop, if this goes on, our relationship will come to an end." Fang Zhuo complained, "Even if you don't have feelings for Tao Shuyao, don't mention this kind of thing to me again."

After hearing this, Judy felt that today's side is probably okay. Young people, they can't be urged, and they all pay attention to freestyle now.
