Regarding the plan to graft Eastern Amazon on the basis of medical e-commerce, Fang Zhuo has a rough framework and a prototype of the operation.
Medical Society and Yike jointly registered a subsidiary, with the former holding a small stake but conducting daily operations.
Subsequently, Medical Science will continue to build its own logistics on the basis of this subsidiary based on the pharmaceutical e-commerce business, increase warehousing, train the team, and prepare the supply chain. When the time is right next year, it will erect the flagpole and enter the B2C market in one fell swoop.
Fang Zhuo only discussed this overall plan with Zhou Xin for the time being, and only discussed the development and future of the domestic e-commerce market in a series of meetings in the medical department.
Of course, pharmaceutical e-commerce does have its future, but this future may take a little longer to materialize.
Fang Zhuo arranged to go to the medical department and communicated with the person in charge of the supply chain of Yike to inquire about his willingness to change the work content.
Sun Qisun of Yike Supply Chain joined Yike the year it was founded. He is usually taciturn, but his status in the company is definitely not low, so he was surprised when he was asked about the adjustments in the e-commerce era.
It stands to reason that Sun Qi's work has ensured a stable global supply of parts for Yike since its development. Similarly, Yike's listing has also given him corresponding rewards, so he can be considered successful and famous.
However, Mr. Fang's description of the Eastern Amazon really moved his heart.
Although Yike has updated its model, the parts category will not change much. Switching to a B2C e-commerce will be different. Product supply is definitely a challenge.
Sun Qi thought about it and couldn't make a decision for a while.
Fang Zhuo did not force him, but continued to select suitable employees in various fields.
In fact, regarding the B2C market, there is an extremely dazzling candidate outside the company.
However, if there was no suffering day and night, no thinking every moment, and no extremely difficult torture of burning money, would Dongzi be the one who could take responsibility?
Fang Zhuo is basically sure that he will burn first as a tribute to his Eastern Amazon style. I don’t know if Taobao can survive, and JD.com will basically be burned to death first.
The asset-heavy development model means burning first and then burning. What's more, venture capital institutions will probably no longer choose JD.com, which has similar business but a low starting point, so it will be difficult for it to get up.
Perhaps, we can consider a merger and acquisition at the right time. Such a person who is also a famous figure on the Internet may be able to exude another brilliance.
Fang Zhuo occasionally thought about this. He stayed in Shanghai until the middle of the month and wanted to fly to Luzhou to inspect the ice core equipment. However, he learned that Professor Hu Zhengming had an experiment and needed to return to the United States. Considering that he would come back at the end of the month, this
The flight to Luzhou will be postponed until then.
On September 18, Fang Zhuo, who was dedicated to building a future framework, received a call from Qiu Lanhua.
"Old leader, what's the matter?" Fang Zhuo and Qiu Lanhua always spoke directly.
"Mr. Fang, how did your inspection of Tao Shuyao go?" Qiu Di said something from before.
Fang Zhuo was stunned and said hesitantly: "Tao..."
Judy was shocked: "You won't completely forget about this, right?"
Fang Zhuo used to be extremely busy when he was extremely busy. Since arriving in the United States, his mind has been on the review of ice cores, equipment procurement and technology introduction all day long. When he returned to China in a hurry, he also thought about supporting Dangdang to get involved in e-commerce. This situation
How can I remember who is who?
If you haven’t even memorized it, why are you talking about whether you can take exams or not, and whether you can make progress?
Fang Zhuo sighed: "Old leader, I fly to the United States all day long, to New York, to Houston, to Washington, to Beijing, to Shanghai. Seeing me flying like this, you should be able to understand me. Let's get over it.
.”
When Judy heard Mr. Fang's itinerary, she couldn't help but smile bitterly on the phone.
"There are too many things to be busy with. If this person can be my secretary, she might be able to have time and space to develop feelings. I have even forgotten what she looks like now." Fang Zhuo told the truth.
"Come on, Mr. Fang, I understand. Then this matter is over. You don't need to mention it. I'll tactfully point out how busy you are, and people will naturally understand." Qiu Di tried to play it safe, feeling that unless he had another daughter,
, otherwise I would never do such a thing.
Fang Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He had really forgotten about this matter. Now that Lao Qiu mentioned it like this, he couldn't even remember his appearance. He only remembered that the person who gave him a book about logistics was read by Xiao Yu.
Maybe for Lao Qiu and Tao Shuyao, the time was not too long, but for me, going through the crucial leap of Bingxin and considering the design of the future e-commerce market, it was hard to keep small facts in mind.
Fang Zhuo and Qiu Xiaoguan made an appointment to have a drink next time, figuring they would be able to spare some time after returning from Luzhou.
Arrangements have been made for the half-month postponement of his trip to Luzhou. First, he will host two Yike domestic market meetings, and then fly to the capital to report to the leaders on the progress of the ice core work. It would be more appropriate for him to do this in person.
Bingxin received a lot of policy subsidies when SMIC was in trouble. Now, a threshold in front of it has been crossed. Talking to the leaders about the difficulties may be more helpful for future work.
For example, before we approached a home appliance company in Daocheng to support TI's rear-projection TV technology platform, the connections that the state-owned assets found played a big role.
What's more, the leadership in Beijing has very high standards, and it's uncertain when problems big and small will be solved.
Fang Zhuo heard that there are leaders now mediating between SMIC and Nanbian, but he is not sure what the outcome will be.
On September 19, after contacting the leadership secretary in advance to confirm the time, Fang Zhuo flew to the capital with his people, intending to stay here for a few days and pay attention to Sina's work, and then go straight to Luzhou.
First find the corresponding leaders in the integrated circuit industry, and then find the senior leaders with high status.
Ice core is beneficial to the high-tech industry, and its development does need more help. At present, it has only just qualified to stand on the starting line.
However, the process of meeting the leaders was quite enjoyable, and many people felt comforted by the progress of Bingxin.
On September 25, all the leaders he wanted to see met. Although the policy support he wanted to get was not immediately available, it was still being studied. Fang Zhuo, who was in a happy mood, took the opportunity to inspect Sina's work.
He didn't forget the easter egg he wanted to leave in "World of Warcraft". He first dubbed a few characters between himself and Sina President Wang Yan, and then made an appointment with Lao Xiong about it.
Later, as the owner of an NBA team, he attended the signing ceremony between Sina and the NBA. He did not talk about business, but only talked about the team's goals for the new season.
During this offseason, Yao Ming did not have enough rest time. He led the national team to participate in the Athens Olympics and reached the quarterfinals, tying the best result in 1996.
Fang Zhuo talked about this and stated that he would pay attention to the usage time in the new season to allow Yao Ming's physical fitness to have a suitable recovery period, and also looked forward to the growth of more domestic athletes.
As the business tycoon who knows the most about football, the team has made big moves this offseason, acquiring the Mavericks' point guard and the Raptors' All-Star forward Carter. Fans are looking forward to what Fang Zhuo said.
That night, Fang Zhuo also participated in the recording of a CCTV sports program. He was very interested in commenting on the major teams in the new season as a guest, and regarded the Western Spurs as the Rockets' archenemy.
It’s not like we need to create the persona of a sports tycoon in the United States now, but Fang Zhuo starts from his own heart and feels that buying a team is like a long-term game, and chasing the championship is quite fun.
During the supper time in the evening, Fang Zhuo invited several senior executives from Sina to chat and drink together, not only about Sina but also about the changes in the Internet industry.
Today's three major portals are still the same, but Penguin has become the fourth largest portal with its user traffic.
In addition, the listing of Penguin itself, Taobao, which is in full swing in the e-commerce market, and Baidu, which has no rivals in Chinese search, these three companies are so aggressive and have such strong development momentum that many people in the industry are amazed by them.
"Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent, this BAT cannot be underestimated. Therefore, we cannot simply think that we can maintain development by relying on the wireless value-added market."
Fang Zhuo was in a good mood and mentioned the collective name of the future Big Three for the first time.
"Our competitors are not only NetEase and Sohu. Baidu's Chinese search is diverting traffic from a more basic level. I heard that Tencent has already launched a blog project and is also a very threatening opponent." Wang Yanhe
After a few glasses of wine, my mind was still clear.
Zhang Xiaolong, who was acquired and took charge of Sina's mailbox business, agreed with the president's point of view. However, he rarely met Fang Zhuo, the chairman with many legends within Sina, so he was more cautious and said nothing, only nodding.
"Penguin wants to blog, well, it's the right thing to do." Fang Zhuo didn't have a good way to deal with Pony Ma's development strategy. He just relied on the traffic, and presumably the blog that was set up for the project was QQ Space.
At this time, Zhang Xiaolong said: "Penguin's chat software is developed based on PC, and it is already a presence that is difficult to shake in this field in China."
Wang Yan heard the unfinished meaning and smiled: "You mean you want to shake Penguin, and you have to think about it from the non-PC field?"
Zhang Xiaolong noticed Mr. Fang's gaze and nodded silently.
Penguin has just been listed, with an issue price of HK$3.7. The opening price on the first day of listing was HK$4.375, and the closing price that day was HK$4.15, an increase of 12.1622%. The market value on the first day was 6.975 billion.
It continued to rise in the following days, and as of today, its market value is stable at around HK$7.2 billion.
For an Internet company that has just gone public, competition under normal thinking will still be based on PC-level operations.
Therefore, Zhang Xiaolong's words made Wang Yan think about it. The mobile Internet field obviously has prospects, but it is still unclear what kind of changes it can bring.
Fang Zhuo smiled and made no comment.
Soon, the topic turned to the hot e-commerce nowadays. In the past few days, many media reported that eBay may have plans to acquire Taobao in order to solve the competition problem from the capital level.
Some reporters believe that Taobao, which has continued to raise capital, cannot make a profit and may be sold at a higher price. They also believe that C2C Taobao has dragged down B2B Alibaba.
This kind of report had both nose and eyes. For a while, several Sina executives were also very interested in guessing Ma Yan's mentality.
When Taobao was founded, it was required to "not make a profit for three years." Now it's almost the third year. There must be some kind of charter, right?
"Mr. Fang, what do you think? Will eBay acquire Taobao?" Wang Yan drank a glass of wine and asked the question to his boss.
Before Fang Zhuo could speak, the cell phone on the table suddenly vibrated. It was a call from Sohu boss Zhang.
He answered the phone, said a few words, and ended the call.
"Zhang Chaoyang heard that I was in the capital and asked me to go and hang out with him. He said he was at the bar." Fang Zhuo said with a smile, "Just in time, I will help you ask the person involved to see if he can sell it on Taobao."
Wang Yan asked: "Is Ma Ren here too?"
"He said he also called Ma Ren." Fang Zhuo shrugged, "Mr. Zhang is very chic."
Wang Yan nodded: "Mr. Fang, one last glass of wine, come on."
Fang Zhuo and the Sina executives drank their last glass of wine, got in the car and went straight to the bar where Zhang Chaoyang was.
Almost at the same time, Ma Ren, who heard on the phone that Mr. Fang was also arriving, also took a car to the bar.
At eleven o'clock in the night, Ma Ren, who had finished talking about business, and Fang Zhuo, who was exchanging feelings with company executives, met Zhang Chaoyang, a Forbes rich man.
The bar is quite upscale and Zhang Chaoyang is very energetic.
When he saw Fang Zhuo and Ma Ren arriving at the front and back, he smiled and said, "I knew it. As soon as I said Mr. Fang and Mr. Ma were coming, you would definitely come over. Come, come, come. You are usually so busy that it is rare to drink.
"
Fang Zhuo and Ma Chen looked at each other and immediately understood what Zhang Chaoyang was saying on the phone.
Both of them smiled.
"I'll just drink juice. I just came here after drinking. If I hadn't heard from Mr. Ma, I would have refused to give Mr. Zhang this face." Fang Zhuo sat down.
Zhang Chaoyang said dissatisfied: "You robbed me of Yao Ming's signing, and you robbed my NBA signing, and you still can't give me face? Why don't you drink juice, drink and drink."
Fang Zhuo smiled but didn't insist.
Zhang Chaoyang was very interested in having fun, and even introduced the female singers he was optimistic about to the two CEOs, hoping to sign into the entertainment subsidiary that was about to be established.
Fang Zhuo and Ma Ren were not interested, so they listened to the female singer sing a few lines and clapped to support her.
The two turned to talk about the development of e-commerce, and also talked about Amazon and eBay, but they did not talk about funding issues.
In the noisy environment of the bar, it is quite interesting to chat about domestic e-commerce competition.
Fang Zhuo didn't ask the obvious question at all. Ma Ren would definitely not sell Taobao. From the beginning of its establishment, he had shouted the slogan of not making a profit in three years. His stall was very open and his goals were very long-term.
At midnight, the bar became increasingly noisy.
Both of them felt it was a bit noisy and planned to chat somewhere else.
At this time, a well-dressed man in a suit walked into the booth. He first glanced at the people here. Well, Mr. Zhang from Sohu, his own singers, and a dwarf, a young man.
He held the wine glass, walked to Zhang Chaoyang, and went straight to the topic cheerfully.
Fang Zhuo and Ma Chen only glanced at it without paying attention, but after a while, the visitor and Zhang Chaoyang had a quarrel.
"I understand music, but Mr. Zhang, you don't understand."
"I understand this industry, but Mr. Zhang, you don't."
"She signed in my company, and I told her she couldn't leave, so she couldn't leave."
The man was holding a wine glass, not afraid of a Forbes billionaire from the mainland Internet industry, and his tone was tough.
Fang Zhuo interrupted his chat with Ma Min and looked up at the man in a suit who spoke loudly.
Ma Ren looked at Mr. Zhang of Sohu who looked ugly, not knowing why.
"Mr. Zhang, she's from the Mainland and doesn't understand the rules and contracts. How can she, the boss of a company as big as yours, still fool around?" The man glanced at the booth, "Well, I bought today's order, Mr. Zhang, no.
mentioned."
Zhang Chaoyang said angrily: "Mr. Feng, are you from the mainland who don't understand the rules or are you a bully from Hong Kong and Taiwan? Feng Yiqiang, are you interesting? Don't give me any face?"
President Feng Feng Yiqiang just smiled: "These are the company's rules, Sony's rules, the industry's rules, and my rules."
He drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, toasted the people in the booth with the empty glass, and turned to leave.
Fang Zhuo looked at Mr. Feng's leaving figure and said with emotion: "Your domineering attitude is exposed."
Ma Min was confused. What was the situation? What was Mr. Zhang getting involved with from mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan?
Zhang Chaoyang turned around, forced a smile, and said angrily: "Hong Kong and Taiwan music stores are bullying customers! What the hell!"
"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang Dafuhao, Lao Zhang, you are too lazy." Fang Zhuo poured himself a glass of wine, hating this competitor quite a bit.
He understood what was going on in general. It was nothing more than poaching people, it was nothing more than contracts, and even some hidden things. There might also be some differences between Hong Kong and Taiwan in the entertainment industry and the mainland.
It’s okay for Lao Zhang to ask himself and Ma to come to the bar for a drink. He can be bullied in person even after drinking. It won’t hurt if he is really depressed in the future!
"Well, I'll help you find a place, and you can sell Sohu to me." Fang Zhuo said with a smile.
Zhang Chaoyang said angrily: "Yao Ming, Yao Ming, NBA, NBA, Yao Ming, Yao Ming, NBA, NBA..."
Fang Zhuo couldn't laugh or cry: "Fortunately, you called Mr. Ma here today. I'll give him face. Don't mention this anymore. I signed the contract based on my strength. What's the point of snatching it or not?"
Having said this, Zhang Chaoyang was no longer depressed. He and Ma Ren stared at Mr. Fang together.
Fang Zhuo took out the phone and said, "Look at my magical power."
