Reborn Cultural Empire

375 General vs.

At the beginning of September in Shanghai, it is the season when the heat is still hot and dreary. Although there has just been a heavy rain that is rare in the country, it is followed by a cloudless sky that lasted for more than a week. Blue bricks, black tiles, jasper are beautiful, and the water is divided into two parts, and the dust is divided into two parts. What flows under the dazzling sunlight is bursts of heat waves that make people feel impatient. .suimeng. Baidu search:

In this big city, people are most concerned about right and wrong in the financial circles in the Yangtze River Delta. What happened to the business turmoil that touched people's hearts yesterday, and who is commanding their gold and iron horses today? Magnificent or surreptitious means entered the Shanghai Stock Exchange, and these various news secretly circulated among the elites also constituted data fluctuations that stimulated every movement on the screen of the Shanghai Stock Exchange.

As for the cultural topic, what is it?And what is online literature?Except for those capital crocodiles that really hide behind, ordinary people may not even know what is under the banyan tree.

But people inside the bureau have a different feeling. For example, in the Starbucks coffee shop opposite the Jin Mao Tower, those white-collar elites who are on the same office floor as under the banyan tree may also interact with them in their spare time. Colleagues occasionally mentioned the current situation of this Internet literature company, including the panic in the recent period, or that an elite cadre is seeking to change jobs.

In the eyes of the few people who know a little bit about the relevant situation, this emerging industry seems to be too far away from traditional business, and too petty bourgeoisie.It’s just a matter of writing articles and climbing a few grids. How can there be frightening disputes, and how can there be a bloody history in the business world?In the eyes of bystanders, this is just a small matter that can make them talk more, it is insignificant, and it doesn't even have the capital to mobilize their pity and sympathy.

But only when you are really on the scene, you will understand that there is nothing new under the sun. As long as you are a part of the business world, you will never be able to escape the betrayal and the aggressive receptionist. Walking into the office hall under the banyan tree, he was greeted by the suspicious eyes of many people. It can be seen that in this open office space of nearly 300 square meters, a considerable number of people's thoughts have not been put on them. In terms of work, at least it can be seen from their wandering eyes.

And Yang Yi didn't say anything, since he came here, it showed that some things cannot be avoided, such as a conflict that may be somewhat fierce, or a negotiation of intrigue, in short, it will not be too friendly.

Perhaps when he rushed to this place from Yuezhou and Rogo a year ago, and came here with a clear goal under the banyan tree, he was destined to have such a moment.

What is fate, Yang Yi now has a more profound experience of this word.

At the far end, in front of an office door separated by a large floor-to-ceiling frosted glass, the receptionist nodded to him. Most of the original curiosity and surprise had dissipated. The biggest leader of the company, that is, William Zhu who sits in Shanghai, the CEO of Yangyi Culture Network Literature Company under the banyan tree, William Zhu, as for the chairman?What is that, do you pay yourself a salary?

After knocking on the door lightly, and reporting her intention to the secretary inside, the young woman who received her nodded again, and then glanced at Yang once or twice without showing any signs.The look in this look was indeed full of meanings. Presumably, she was a little curious about this young director who suddenly appeared.

Inside the room, the secretary with exquisite makeup welcomed Yang Yi in very politely, and then asked him to sit down on the reception sofa outside.Seeing the other party's performance, the boy smiled calmly. Obviously, this secretary should be Zhu William's confidant. Regardless of the relationship between those men and women in the workplace who shed their masks after work, at least in terms of business, This person in front of him should be highly valued by William Zhu.If it weren't for that, she was just a little secretary, how dare she show the etiquette for receiving clients?In a normal situation, the secretary of the subsidiary CEO saw the big boss coming, and had already brought people in with great trepidation.

The door in the inner room opened, and William Zhu's gentle voice came: "Yes, Mr. Lisenberg, please seriously consider my proposal last time, this is a condition that is beneficial to both of us. As you can imagine, Internet literature in the next ten years, possibly 20 years, will be created by us. Yes, yes, I am talking about Bertelsmann and Banyan Tree, not Bertelsmann and Yangyi Culture... No , you don't know, in our China, there is a kind of power called administrative intervention. I believe I don't need to say more, you have already experienced the power of this power when it comes to publishing qualifications. Now you have to deal with Yangyi Culture , is this kind of power. I want you to promise that the future Chinese market must belong to both of us. Bertelsmann China will not be unaware of the growth under the banyan tree for more than a year. With such a good prospect, coupled with the Chinese market, Why is Bertelsmann hesitating to use the unit of 'tens of millions' to calculate the number of readers? Of course, all this is not the point!"

After a slight pause, William Zhu made no secret of his ambition: "The important thing is that Yangyi culture is over. I haven't seen it so far. There is still capital in China that can compete with the power of Zheng Fu. And as a very There is no reason for us to be tied to a sinking ship.”

It became quiet inside, as if William Zhu was listening.At this time, Yang Yi already understood what William Zhu was doing. The so-called Lisenberg was undoubtedly the general manager of Bertelsmann China, Eric Lisenberg. This German came to this land since the early 90s. Since then, he has been living on the top floor of a residential building at the back door of Aurora University, and has not changed since then.From what he had seen in various media in his previous life, Yang Yi knew that this was an ambitious and professionally conservative person, but when it came to ability, he might be unaccustomed to it. What can help him gain in China, but later in 2008, Bertelsmann withdrew the last dozens of stores, and ended up launching sadly.

"Yes, I think you understand what I mean. Now is not the time to be indecisive. Now is an extraordinary time! Do you understand? It is a moment of life and death!" William Zhu's eloquence is top-notch, which is similar to the time he received abroad when he was young. Regarding education, if you change to a domestic professional manager, you may not be able to give such a passionate speech.

At this time, the secretary must have notified William Zhu, and the conversation in the room came to an abrupt end: "Sorry, Mr. Lisenberg, I have something important to do now, yes, someone from Yangyi Culture is here. I will show my cards directly Yes, I hope you can make a decisive decision, this is a decision in the interests of Bertelsmann. Then that's it, let's talk again next time we have a chance."

The secretary withdrew from the door and looked at Yang Yi with subtle pleasure. Obviously, she knew about Zhu William's plan for more than a day or two, and she was a staunch supporter of the other party.

This is a very ambitious woman, and has the corresponding skills. Being able to stay with the wolf and gain the trust of the wolf is a great ability in itself.I just don't know how much work she did in this betrayal incident.Presumably, from this woman's point of view, if under the banyan tree can develop independently from the Yangyi culture, then it will definitely achieve greater achievements?At least, her immediate boss, Zhu William, has lost a lot of restraint, and as a personal secretary, her worth can also rise, and she can feel superior when she goes to participate in some business activities in the future.

Yang Yi took a step forward, followed by the secretary backing away to enter the opened space. Since the people inside have been notified, there will be no bloody drama by surprise. What is waiting in the office is indeed the smiling banyan tree next president.

When the boy saw the person sitting behind the desk, William Zhu was as polite as ever, and he had half stood up, as if he was ready to greet him.On his desk is a latest LCD monitor, which is a complete luxury right now, and even many specialized IT companies may not use this kind of monitor on their high-level desks.On the side, there are large stacks of thick documents.

"Mr. Yang, are you here?" Zhu Weilian stretched out his hand with a smile, but across a desk, this way of greeting is a bit too ostentatious, if they are people who are familiar with each other, it may be like this It seems to be more intimate, but the problem is that Yang Yi is still a director, investor, and major shareholder under the banyan tree. The other party welcomes him in this way, which is a self-evident unwelcome in itself.

If it weren't for the conversation they heard earlier, people who didn't know the details thought that the two of them were good friends and partners who started a business together, so they had such an informal attitude.But it was obvious that even though the secretary had already reported it, William Zhu had to tell Yang Yi some things that should not have been said in a way that was close to propagandizing.Rather than saying that William Zhu is pretending to cover up something now, it is better to say that he is deliberately provoking.

After all, when Yang Yi came to negotiate with Zhu William a year ago, he had the upper hand everywhere.Even if Yang Yi Culture's shareholding conditions are fair, and the boy's forward-looking guidance is indispensable for the development of more than a year, but in Zhu William's eyes, Yang Yi is a guy who robs him of the fruits of his labor.

So Yang Yi didn't intend to shake hands with him at all, but smiled bluntly: "Hehe, are you negotiating conditions with Mr. Lisenberg? Now you want to buy back shares, I'm afraid you can't afford so much by yourself Money? You made your mind on Bertelsmann again? To be honest, neither you nor Bertelsmann can control what’s under the banyan tree.”

Hearing Yang Yi's almost face-to-face slap, Zhu Weilian's complexion changed, and then his outstretched hand was awkwardly raised in the air in front of Yang Yi's little secretary behind him. The confidant looked over.

The latter quickly closed the door knowingly, avoiding the storm far away.

Seeing that there were only two people in the room, Zhu Weilian coughed dryly: "Hehe, Mr. Yang is still concerned about the development of the banyan tree. On behalf of all the employees and writers under the banyan tree, I thank you for your concern and support. But to say something In my heart, you should first think of a way to solve the current predicament of Yangyi Culture."

"That's why I came to Shanghai." Yang Yi shrugged his shoulders: "The biggest problem is under the banyan tree, what does President Zhu think?"

Standing behind the huge desk, two men, one big and one small, were confronting each other without giving in. Zhu Weilian had withdrawn his hand and looked at Yang Yi opposite him. Against the background of the cold-toned decoration, the boy's face looked particularly Leng Yi was decisive, and his momentum was suppressed for a while.After Zhu Weilian narrowed his eyes, he cocked his head and came out from behind the table.

For a while, even the sunlight coming in from the window couldn't break the cold atmosphere in the room, and there was an aura called rattling swords quietly radiating.It's like two entangled swordsmen in the rivers and lakes, holding sharp blades and confronting each other, surrounded by the chilling autumn wind and yellow sand, and don't know when, there will be swords and swords suddenly falling.

"Speaking of which, I'm still working for you now, Mr. Yang, don't we need to make the atmosphere so tense?" William Zhu took the lead and walked to the sofa next to him, stretching out his hand and making a gesture of invitation: "What's the problem, Can't we have an open and friendly talk?"

Have a friendly talk?Yang Yi sneered in his heart, why didn't you think of having a friendly talk with me when you demonstrated on the phone just now?

But no matter what, I came here to solve things, and always cynicism can't solve the problem.

So Yang Yi sat down without hesitation, quietly waiting for the other party's next words.

Watching Yang Yi sit down without any expression, Zhu Weilian sighed—in the eyes of the young man, this action was undoubtedly very performative—and then the manager, who was in the prime of his life, sat down. Yang Yimian: "Speaking of which, Mr. Yang, you can't blame me. The development from Yangyi culture du li is also based on the current general situation. Who knows the situation in your Yuezhou? And who knows, now it's zheng fu The department wants to target you deliberately? Some problems can’t be solved with loyalty alone! At least in my position, I’m responsible for the [-] or [-] employees under the banyan tree, as well as tens of thousands of Internet writers! If it’s because of Yang Yi Cultural matters, under the banyan tree were also involved, what will they do in the future? Everyone came together because of enthusiasm. Under the banyan tree also suffered unnecessary losses."

He paused again, and he reached out to pat Yang Yi on the shoulder: "But Mr. Yang, don't worry, I will ask the best accountant to estimate the share repurchase, and Yang Yi Culture will definitely not suffer. After all, without you Without the capital injection and support, Banyan Tree would not be able to reach the current stage.”

High-sounding!

Yang Yi really wanted to accuse this guy of duplicity, but now it is undoubtedly a sign of weakness to say these things, and when he heard Yang Yi's words that almost slapped him in the face, Zhu Weilian's face changed, and then he stretched out his hand in front of Yang Yi. The face of the little secretary behind him was raised in the air in embarrassment. He turned his body sideways and looked at his confidant at the door.

The latter quickly closed the door knowingly, avoiding the storm far away.

Seeing that there were only two people in the room, Zhu Weilian coughed dryly: "Hehe, Mr. Yang is still concerned about the development of the banyan tree.

High-sounding!

Yang Yi really wanted to denounce this guy for duplicity, but now it is undoubtedly a sign of weakness, and his outstretched hand was raised in mid-air embarrassingly in front of the many Facebook Chinese executives behind Su Can, and he turned sideways position, looking towards Zach, who is the president.
