013 Puzzle (2 in 1)

 On November 5th, Shanghai was very charming in the evening.

Xue Xuan was sitting by the window of a Hong Kong-style tea restaurant. He was not in a good mood, not only because the other party had repeatedly postponed the appointment, but also because the scheduled dinner was late again.

As the vice president of the ICBC branch, Xue Xuan also has a temper. However, since even headhunters can find ways to call him, his poor working conditions are no secret.

Xue Xuan shook his head slightly. If he hadn't heard from the headhunter that the other party had just been inspected by a senior leader, he would not have gone to this appointment again.

Mainly, not only does repeated postponement seem insincere, but this registration website also has no future.

Xue Xuan checked the situation of the registration network. If it was okay before the industry policy was clarified, now...it does not have any suitable positions for him.

Just as he was thinking this, he saw a rather recognizable young man walking towards him quickly.

"President Xue, I'm sorry, I've been flying back and forth for the past two days, and I just arrived in Shanghai today."

Xue Xuan smiled and shook hands with the visitor: "It's okay, I understand. Enterprises are not as quiet as our banks."

Although I don’t plan to go to this registration website, I don’t intend to offend anyone. How can a CEO like Fang Zhuo, who runs such a big business at such a young age, be ordinary?

"Have you ordered, Mr. Xue? This Hong Kong-style tea restaurant is indeed quite authentic. I didn't expect Mr. Xue to like it too." Fang Zhuo said with a smile.

Today's restaurant was chosen by Xue Xuan. Originally, for the first dinner date, we had registered online to book a place, but after successive postponements, we followed the vice president's advice and chose the place.

Xue Xuan smiled and said simply: "Nothing."

Fang Zhuo ordered several dishes and handed the menu to Xue Xuan, but the other party refused. He hesitated for a while and ordered a few more dishes before indicating that there were no other guests.

"Speaking of which, it was fate. Last month, I met President Liu of your bank. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, I was secretly having dinner with his right-hand man."

Xue Xuan's expression changed slightly. As a vice president, who could he be suppressed by?

Fang Zhuo said "Eat quietly", but his tone was very fair, and he continued: "However, President Liu probably won't blame me too much. Our society is developing very fast, and talents will go wherever they can play the greatest role.

where."

Xue Xuan still smiled, feeling that this young CEO was a little out of character.

"Mr.

way, "Guahao.com has established a department to connect online business and user consumption."

The tea restaurant started serving food.

Xue Xuan didn't expect that the other party would start talking about the main point before they started drinking for three rounds, and finally said: "Indeed, I am also surprised. It seems that there is no suitable position for me in the registration network?"

He glanced at Fang Zhuo and suddenly said: "Wait a minute, Mr. Fang, what does it mean to connect online business and user consumption?"

The vice president used an accent on the word "get through."

"Patients register on their home computer, pay the fee through the computer, and arrive directly at the hospital for treatment." Fang Zhuo gave an example.

Online payment is definitely a new and advanced thing for people at this time.

In particular, a bank vice-president could understand the groundbreaking situation better. After thinking about it briefly, he was subconsciously shocked and angry.

"You, you..."

Xue Xuan's expression changed, but he choked on the second half of his accusation.

Fang Zhuo noticed but continued to give examples: "Patients buy medicines through the computer, pay through the computer, and the medicines are delivered directly to their homes by express delivery."

"This is an online business that Guahao.com can easily and directly launch. We have not yet evaluated its expansion scope, but I personally believe it can become a part of building an information society."

"What is informatization?"

"A whole set of business processes can be completed through the Internet. This is informatization."

Xue Xuan poured a glass of wine by himself and said seriously: "Mr. Fang, are you sure you are not violating national laws by doing this? Are you not destroying the bank payment system? How dare you say this in front of me..."

"It's not illegal for me to say it." Fang Zhuo said with a smile, "President Xue doesn't need to be so pessimistic. According to my experience, even if a leader thinks it's inappropriate, it's just a stop. The Internet is an emerging industry, and it's okay to be a little bit out of line.

.”

Xue Xuan couldn't help but combine it with the news he learned about the registration website, and said mockingly: "Mr. Fang is quite experienced."

"Actually, I'm not messing around. Online payment is not unorthodox. It has already developed in the US market. If you don't believe me, President Xue can go home and check PayPal." Fang Zhuo raised his glass and toasted, "It's just that President Xue is still

You are looking at this from the bank’s perspective, but what if you put aside this perspective and look at it from the consumer’s perspective?”

Xue Xuan retorted: "Even if this business is carried out, it should be carried out by banks."

"Is the bank willing to start it? Taking a step back, the bank is trying to develop this business. According to President Xue's understanding of the bank's internal affairs, how long will it take? How many iterations will be required?" Fang Zhuo asked.

Xue Xuan was silent. According to his understanding, it is difficult for a bank to do it. There are all kinds of entanglements within just one bank, let alone so many banks.

"Sometimes the private economy is like a catfish." Fang Zhuo saw the other party's confusion about this metaphor and explained, "Norwegians like to eat sardines, but this kind of fish can easily suffocate to death on the way back. They have tried many methods.

It was found that placing a catfish feeding on sardines will cause them to scatter and avoid, and the sardines can return to the port alive without being crowded together and starved of oxygen."

Xue Xuan thought about it carefully. According to this statement, Yipay is really special about feeding on banks. The metaphor is apt!

"How about private sector stimulating vitality? Isn't it just the stimulation of early adopters?" Fang Zhuo added, "The leaders are happy to see the development of the Internet. I can guarantee this."

Xue Xuan frowned. He didn't want to be surprised when the other party mentioned the leader, but this thing guarantees that if something goes wrong in the end, who will take the blame?

As a vice president, he is very familiar with taking the blame.

Why bother wading into this muddy water?

If you go to any other company, you can still develop well.

"How much income does President Xue get now?" Fang Zhuo asked an unexpected question.

Xue Xuan hesitated and said: "Almost 150,000."

He could guess what the young president was going to say next, which was just to show off his salary, but the bank's income was not just on the books, and the registration network would not be very competitive in this aspect.

"Then if you come to my place, your income will double." Fang Zhuo said.

Xue Xuan was about to show a polite smile when he was shattered by the next words.

"700,000 a year."

Xue Xuan opened his mouth but didn't say anything. If he remembered correctly, what he just said was 150,000. The CEO's calculation method of doubling was a little different.

"Add in about 300,000 yuan in project bonuses and company options."

"I have read President Xue's resume. He was promoted to branch vice president at the age of 35. He is very capable."

"To be honest, I don't think you should be restrained in an environment like yours when you are young and strong."

Fang Zhuo pointed to the other party's situation and continued: "Just now I said that from the perspective of consumers, now, I have to say, from the perspective of enterprises, if such a payment method can be implemented, the minimum is to go public. .”

"No matter how high it is, the promotion and change in society will be far beyond what a branch vice president can match."

"President Xue, what do you think?"

Fang Zhuo reached out and poured a cup of freshly squeezed juice, waiting for the reply from the other party. It is difficult to present any specific facts for recruitment for this kind of project, because it has not been completed yet, and it depends on expectations and determination.

Just like the previous communication with Xiong Xiaoge, it does not take too long. Both parties know the situation, whether they are determined to do it, and whether they are optimistic about the expectations. This is the key.

"Actually, I am 33, and my family reported my age as two years too high at first." Xue Xuan spoke slowly.

Fang Zhuo swallowed the juice and praised: "President Xue is really young and promising."

"As far as I know, the revenue situation of Guahao.com is not very optimistic." Xue Xuan strangely did not feel that this kind of praise was wrong and raised a question.

"Yes, because the registration network is a long-term business. In fact, President Xue does not need to connect the payment department with the registration network. He should treat it more as a payment application scenario." Fang Zhuo answered in detail. He said, "I wonder if President Xue knows that I still have a Yike company that is making music players. If conditions permit, Guahao.com will be transferred to Yike Holdings."

"If Yike Holdings has procedural difficulties, then the payment department will be independent and there will still be Yike's support behind it."

Xue Xuan suddenly realized that he couldn't think of calling Yi Pay.

He said sincerely: "I can feel Mr. Fang's sincerity, but I still have to think about this matter."

"No problem, President Xue." Fang Zhuo said cheerfully, "I'm going to the United States in two days to preside over the product's market launch. If you can't contact me at the first time, you can also contact Zhou Xin, the vice president of Guahao.com, and I will

He talked about the Easy Pay situation.”

Xue Xuan nodded, Mr. Fang's sincerity shining as brightly as his appearance.

I know my own business, and being able to reach the position of Vice President of ICBC is a coincidence. It is really difficult to move up. Especially, the current President still dislikes me, even if I have the position of Vice President.

It’s also very frustrating.

Jumping out to start a career is what a man should do.

He hesitated for a moment and then asked: "Mr. Fang, what if this project is stopped?"

"If the suspension is called in the first year, President Xue's income will not be reduced by a penny. This can be written into the contract." Fang Zhuo said without hesitation, "If the suspension is called later, we will decide based on the specific situation. After all,

It is an enterprise, not like a bank with a staff, and Yike is also a growth company with great potential."

Xue Xuan now feels that every word spoken by the young president is sincere. Indeed, it is quite interesting to be guaranteed for one year.

"Mr. Fang is really courageous."

"Such pioneering undertakings require no courage and no choice. They are all forced." Fang Zhuo happily changed the topic, "But many times, the miracles of the private economy are forced."

Xue Xuan nodded, with an inclination in mind, and asked out of curiosity what he had just heard about Yike.

Fang Zhuo was also willing to talk about the urgent matters at hand, and briefly talked about market development and the flaws exposed by the other American giant Apple.

Xue Xuan didn't understand this aspect, but it sounded really good to him. This was a very courageous thing to do. He believed that his product was good and his opponent had flaws, so he really crossed the ocean to attack the American market. No.

Something that ordinary people can do.

The dinner didn't take long. Fang Zhuo expressed his meaning clearly, while Xue Xuan needed some time to think alone.



Two days later, the eight-person team from Yike Technology that went to New York was waiting for the flight at Shanghai International Airport. This group of people included old employees and some were temporarily recruited. Some employees will continue to go after the visa issue is resolved.

"Does Mr. Xiong have any special instructions?"

Fang Zhuo flipped through the newspaper and chatted with Pan Ben next to him.

"Mr. Xiong asked me to base everything on Mr. Fang's opinion. You are in the market, and I am a layman. Don't talk nonsense." Pan Ben said sincerely.

"Well, Mr. Xiong is really an excellent investor." Fang Zhuo praised.

Before Pan Ben could speak, Fang Zhuo's cell phone rang. His eyes lit up and he rang: "President Xue, if you were a little later, I would have turned off the phone when I got on the plane."

"Mr. Fang, I've thought it over carefully." Xue Xuan's voice was a little blurry.

"I think President Xue made the right choice." Fang Zhuo expressed joy from the bottom of his heart, "Once President Xue completes the procedures, Yipay welcomes Director Xue to join us at any time."

The call ends.

Pan Ben heard the one-sided chat, guessed the general content, and congratulated: "Mr. Fang must have recruited another good business partner."

"Haha, yes, quite good." Fang Zhuo finished laughing and asked, "How is Mr. Pan thinking about it?"

Pan Ben couldn't laugh or cry, he didn't think about it at all.

"Venture investors seem to have been active in the market, but in fact they are half outsiders. The domestic economy is booming, and they have found a high-quality track to make a career. Isn't Mr. Pan not tempted by this sense of accomplishment?" Fang Zhuo asked.

"Let's see if this trip to the United States is a high-quality track." Pan Ben defended offensively.

Fang Zhuo nodded, that would be easier.

The flight from Shanghai to New York takes fifteen hours. The six people on Yike's flight were in economy class booked by the company, while Fang Zhuo's flight was in business class booked by IDG.

Fang Zhuo said hello to his somewhat nervous colleagues before sitting down in business class.

"Hey, Mr. Pan, you are being unreasonable. You pulled out a walkman in front of the M1 boss. Good guy, you hit me hard."

Pan Ben shook his head: "My wife prefers to sing, and here are all her covers of songs."

Fang Zhuo was caught off guard and stuffed with a handful of dog food.

"I'm envious. Sony actually did a good job with Walkman, but it made a strategic mistake."

At this moment, a passenger in the front right seat looked back at the two people chatting behind him and asked.

"Why does this gentleman think Sony has made a strategic mistake?"

Fang Zhuo and Pan Ben looked at each other together. Although they spoke Mandarin, their pronunciation seemed strange.
