Reinventing the Millennium.

Chapter 809 Big (two in one)

The news of selling penguins on Youyou.com spread quickly on New Year's Eve.

Even the prices are quite accurate.

It's just that Friends.com once reported that it was discussing cooperation with Facebook, but they didn't expect to sell it to the domestic competitor Penguin as soon as they turned around, which surprised many people.

The competition between Friends.com and Dating.com has been regarded as a positive contest between Yike and Penguin since the first half of last year. Although Friends.com has gradually declined, it is generally believed that it will continue to fight hard.

This kind of ending makes people have to revise their perception of Penguin's power again. They know that Penguin is very strong, but it is so strong that it is one of the best in many fields such as communication software, game platforms, e-commerce, portal websites, and social networks. It is outrageous!
However, just when people from all walks of life had one more thing to talk about during the Chinese New Year, Xiong Xiaoge received real congratulations from the circle. Regardless of the symbolic meaning of selling himself as a penguin on Friends.com, IDG still made a profit this time.

The financing behind Friends.com has not been disclosed to the outside world, but everyone can have an estimate, and the conclusion is that Mr. Xiong is worthy of Mr. Xiong.

The calls Xiong Xiaoge received throughout the day were basically "Mr. Xiong has a happy Chinese New Year" to overdo it, then "Mr. Xiong's IDG investment has made money again" to try, and finally "I have a chance to help my brother in the future" to end.

At first he thought it was interesting, but later he replied in a very routine way.

It wasn't until the evening that Xiong Xiaoge and his wife were nestled on the sofa watching the Spring Festival Gala together, that they finally felt free.

He was actually on vacation quite early this year, but he had to be busy for a long time because of friends.com.

The couple watched TV together, occasionally sent and received text messages, and enjoyed the New Year's Eve. Of course, Mrs. Xiong still did not forget to insist on stealing food on New Year's Eve.

By the way, she also cared about whether her food-stealing data would be affected after Friends.com was acquired.

Xiong Xiaoge gave a vague promise, and then talked about the arrangements for the next year: "Last week, I promised CCTV that I will give more time to this year's "Win in China" after the year, and I will also take a rest by the way."

"Huh? Rest?" Mrs. Xiong was a little surprised.

"Looking at the market, Mr. Fang is profitable by shorting Lehman, but he is very cautious about the situation in the United States, and I plan to see what happens next," Xiong Xiaoge said casually.

Mrs. Xiong let out an "oh", and continued after watching a sketch: ""Win in China" has a Fang Boss. It's a real sign. It's good for you to participate more. Hey, old bear, I want to ask you something. , did you and Fang always act together?"

Xiong Xiaoge was half a beat behind, turned his head and asked suspiciously: "Why do you ask that?"

Aunt Xiong grabbed a handful of melon seeds: "I had dinner with my friends last week, and they chatted a little bit. Didn't you bring someone to trouble Mr. Fang? Just that time, did you act with Mr. Fang for others to see?"

When she was having dinner with friends, she couldn't avoid mentioning her husband, and then the topic diverged, talking about the career of the richest man in the mainland and his fortune.

There is no doubt that her husband is an important stroke in Mr. Fang's fortune history.

Xiong Xiaoge was stunned for more than ten seconds. Firstly, he didn't expect his wife to have such a question, and secondly...even if his daughter-in-law asked this question, what kind of perception would the outside colleagues have about him?
That time, I played the role of the leading brother, why did I start acting so suddenly?

Years, time, how much color have you added to history!
Mrs. Xiong spat out a piece of melon seeds, and said while watching TV: "Isn't it? Then why did you bother him and not withdraw from Yike?"

"for money".

"One yard owned by a yard".

"The Weakness of My Old Bear".

"Wang Fengyi's Violence of Being a Dog".

Xiong Xiaoge had a lot of worries during the time of one song in the Spring Festival Gala, and finally sighed faintly under the strange eyes of his wife: "Live and learn, three people must have my teacher."

Mrs. Xiong: "?"

She didn't understand where her husband's words started to jump, but she was also a little accustomed to the way they communicated with each other.

"You called Mr. Fang, right? I'll send you another one, just to ask how the buildings he built in the capital are doing."

Xiong Xiaoge reckoned that Boss Fang must be very busy, but soon he saw that he not only replied text messages, but also called back.

Two minutes later, he asked his daughter-in-law who had put down her phone: "What do you say? What is he doing?"

"What should I say? Watch the Spring Festival Gala. Mr. Fang is a really nice person. He speaks politely and does everything without putting on airs." Mrs. Xiong gave her evaluation since she came into contact with him.

Xiong Xiaoge was stunned, and laughed dumbfounded: "It's fine to talk, he is a master who can talk, so where does this politeness come from?"

Mrs. Xiong said eloquently: "If he is not polite, he must be forced by others. Not to mention, the friend network and the farm that you have set up together recently, haven't the penguins been forcing him?"

She could give an example casually: "There is also Lehman, if Lehman doesn't short him, can he short Lehman?"

Xiong Xiaoge always felt that something was wrong, but he was speechless for a while.

Yes, yes, others are forcing him, but he is really pure and innocent!

……

Shencheng.

Fang Zhuo had a super reunion New Year's Eve for the first time, and found that it was not as bad as he thought

A banquet hall was opened in the Hilton, and the two families ate together, and the Spring Festival Gala was directly projected on the stage, and everyone celebrated the New Year happily.

The only thing that is strange is that Fang Zhuo suddenly realized while eating, if he and Weiwei toasted to relatives and friends again, wouldn't this be...

"Who are you calling?"

"Sister Xiong, I just saw the text message she sent me."

"You have a really good relationship with Mr. Xiong."

"No, I have respected the old bear from the beginning."

Fang Zhuo's call back was noticed by Su Wei, and the two chatted for a while before looking back at the stage.

Today, in order to spend a complete New Year's Eve, all the phone calls that should be made have been made in advance, and it is also a rare day in recent years to live well...

"Hey, Mr. Fang, look back and see if he is here to look for you." Su Wei looked around and listened to all directions today, and suddenly touched Fang Zhuo's arm.

Fang Zhuo looked back and saw that the posture was like an administration.

The visitor held a wine glass in his hand and walked quickly with a smile on his face, accompanied by someone who looked like a secretary behind him.

Fang Zhuo got up slowly, picked up the wine glass filled with mineral water, and greeted him in this direction.

The secretary seemed to want to introduce in the center ahead of time, but was signaled by someone to back off.

"Mr. Fang, Mr. Fang, what a coincidence, I am Xu Hanyuan, a newcomer to the district. I was having dinner with my family next door. I heard that the pride of our new district is also here. I thought I should come here to pay New Year's greetings." Xu Hanyuan said Handing the wine glass to the secretary, he stretched out his hands and said with a warm smile, "Excuse me, excuse me."

Fang Zhuo was not familiar with the name, so he knew what was going on just by his posture.

Well, in the case of Lao Qiu's safety, the deputy leader of the district.

He smiled and exchanged greetings, said two beautiful words, and drank two more glasses of wine, so that both parties ended the meeting with satisfaction.

"Deputy leader, I heard that the background is not small." Su Wei is more familiar with the changes in Shencheng, "Recently there are rumors that Judy may go outside."

Fang Zhuo was not too surprised by the unexpected meeting tonight, but noticed Weiwei's news: "Gossip? Really? I didn't hear him mention it when I called him at noon."

Su Wei shook her head: "It's not true, it's just passed on like this."

Fang Zhuo's thoughts turned around, Lao Qiu, if he can add a ranking in the city before going out, it will be much more stable.

But since Qiu Lanhua didn't talk, she didn't ask.

Without waiting for him to think about it, Xu Hanyuan's New Year's greetings when he entered the banquet hall seemed to have opened up a signal. Someone happened to be in the Hilton and accidentally heard the news that Mr. Fang was eating here. Come over for a drink.

There are administrative and commercial ones, but it’s okay to say that there are local ones, but there are even out-of-town ones.

Fang Zhuo was a little dumbfounded, and soon felt that it was because the news that the Fang family opened a banquet hall here for the New Year was not kept too much secret, which led to the encounter on New Year's Eve.

But, what can he do, New Year's Eve + smiling faces, he can't do anything to lose his temper.

A chance encounter, a few glasses of water and wine.

Before I knew it, I missed the skit and also missed the zero hour.

The ringing of the bell to watch the New Year's Eve in the Spring Festival Gala also means that the relatives in the banquet hall have returned to their rooms to sleep one after another.

"The New Year is here, how do you feel?" Su Wei was very graceful tonight, her long hair was simply pulled up by the hairpin, and she came over with a smile and asked Fang Zhuo who had just put down her phone.

"Looking forward, nervous, that's about it." Fang Zhuo described the emotions in his heart truthfully. To say that today's most dominant mood is the phone call from Bingxin in the early morning. It seems that Dr. Liang's quarterly report is not aimless. The distance is being shortened a little bit.

I don't know what's going on, Bing Xin often produces results near the Spring Festival, which always connects his holiday mood together.

Su Wei nodded: "I'm in the same mood."

She added: "I saw a joke in the afternoon, saying that a woman asked a man, if they separated, the man would take three things away, what would he take away, guess what the man said?"

Fang Zhuo was taken aback, but he didn't expect the topic to suddenly take a big turn, to talk about such a joke during the New Year...

Su Wei asked and answered: "The man said he wanted to take away his dignity, strength and self-confidence, but the woman was so angry that she should take her, her, her!"

Fang Zhuo said slowly: "If I remember correctly, this question is..."

Su Wei didn't intend to discuss, and asked with a smile: "If it were you, what's your answer?"

Fang Zhuo had already heard the correct answer just now, but it seemed that he didn't need to answer it himself now.

Sure enough, Su Wei went straight down and said: "Just now my mother quietly asked me about this important matter of marriage. Guess how I answered it?"

Fang Zhuo's heart lifted slightly, and he smiled without changing his expression: "Well, I guess..."

Su Wei actually didn't want to let the man in front of her guess, and directly revealed the answer to the previous question: "Let me tell you, if you separate, the three things you will take away are the company's control, control, and control!"

Fang Zhuo immediately refuted the slander against himself: "No, I will take you, you, you!"

"My mother and I said that marriage is just a formality, but ours is more complicated. Whether it is Yike or Bingxin's equity, it is extremely important, and it is not just an individual but a problem of the development of a certain industry. A prenuptial agreement that is discussed and discussed is boring." Su Wei said with a smile, "Fang Zhuo, Mr. Fang, Boss Fang, do you think the form is important?"

Just as Fang Zhuo was about to give a firm answer, the phone in his hand suddenly vibrated again.

"Stringer's." He showed Weiwei the phone and answered the last question sincerely, "It's important."

Then, the phone was connected.

Su Wei laughed. From the corner of her eye, she caught sight of Jiujiu, the daughter of the second aunt's little cousin, running over in small steps. She squatted down and picked up the little girl: "Jiujiu, Jiujiu, uncle is going to lie again, let's not disturb him. Go, go, he is sincere when he lies."

Fang Zhuo listened to the greetings from the old jazz, and gave the two people an innocent look.

When Stringer called, he first wished Mr. Fang a happy new year to his Chinese friend, and then he talked about the issue of "the camera department and the mobile phone department" that the two met and talked about last time, and then talked about the upcoming Sony shareholder meeting.

It was beyond Fang Zhuo's expectation, or in other words, the strength of the old Jazz's movements was beyond Fang Zhuo's expectation.

Stringer has passed internal investigations and gained support, and decided to completely reorganize Sony's board of directors this year. The 15-member board of directors will become 12 external directors + 3 internal directors. Among them, the 12 external directors will also employ non-Japanese people. .

More importantly, Ken Kutaragi will be responsible for the PS3's counterfeiting and will voluntarily resign from the group, leaving only an honorary consultant title.

And, Ryoji Nakabachi, who is in charge of a considerable part of the electronic product business, will also be promoted to executive vice president and cut off his real job.

Kuta and Nakaba are two very powerful factions within Sony. The former hindered Nakaba's progress when he merged with Stringer last time, and they were cleaned up together this time.

Stringer introduced the upcoming action in an orderly manner, and finally asked: "Mr. Fang, what do you think?"

Fang Zhuo’s biggest feeling is that Sony’s improvement last year must have made the group believe that Stringer’s powerful medicine has taken effect like French CEO Ghosn’s saving Nissan Motor. However, the next two years may be what Sony needs. biggest challenge.

He pondered for a while and commented: "This is a more Western-style and more scientific reform for Sony. I believe it will further return to glory under the leadership of the Jazz."

Stringer liked to hear this, but he still said, "Mr. Fang, do you have any additional suggestions?"

He had already talked on the phone with the external directors who planned to invite into Sony, and also asked for opinions, and Fang was always put at the end.

Fang Zhuo thought about it carefully, and replied: "After all, I am not familiar with the internal situation of the group. Last time, I was also surprised by the situation of the camera department and the mobile phone department. Consumer electronics is an important trend in the future, and this cannot be relaxed. "

"Since the camera department is so opposed to the mobile phone department, we might as well raise the structure of the mobile phone department and directly take care of the camera department."

"Sony Ericsson made so much progress last year, I think it may even challenge Nokia in the future."

He still remembers Ichiro Takagi, the head of Sony's mobile phone department, who is very good at communication.

Sony Ericsson was the third largest mobile phone brand in the world last year. It's normal to wait and see.

Stringer thought about the proposal from Mr. Fang, and said after a while: "I will consider this issue, Mr. Fang, and I will wait for you at the shareholders meeting in Tokyo."

Fang Zhuo declined politely: "Sir, I'm afraid I won't have time to attend this year. I have to be present for many important matters."

Stringer was stunned for a moment, and understood: "That's okay, I wish Yike's mobile phone a smooth new year."

Mr. Fang's absence is fine. The new list of board members will be approved peacefully at the shareholders' meeting.

Because Sony is going to enter the Stringer era completely.

……

This year's Spring Festival holiday compared to previous years, Fang Zhuo really heard a lot of gossip from parents that he hadn't heard before.

Of course, there are also some hints from the elders.

However, Fang Zhuo couldn't understand the hints, so no one really dared to express them in front of him, and the overall life was more pleasant.

February 2, the third day of junior high school.

Fang Zhuo was in a good mood after asking about the progress of the sale of Youyou.com and the situation on Sina Weibo. He simply browsed the news on the Internet and updated a Zhihu answer.

"Six-month short Lehman funds are about to close."

"It looks like everyone is going to get a near-miss profit."

"I'm still bearish on the trend of Lehman, and I'm going to use some small leverage next. You are welcome to continue to manage your money rationally."
