Chapter 459: The leader was stabbed in the back, Big Brother suffered internal injuries, Zhang Shuo is innocent?!
Monday, June 9th.
"Why hasn't the robot User-Agent of Tiantian Toutiao crawler been made public before?" As soon as the meeting began, Zhang Shuo looked at Qinghe Group President Lu Qi.
Although this matter actually has nothing to do with Lu Qi.
Tiantian Toutiao was originally a product of Qinghe Technology. With the integration of Qinghe Group, it was assigned to the platform and content business group of Qinghe Group, and was headed by Zhao Xiaohu, executive vice president of Qinghe Group.
But this kind of meeting can only be answered by Lu Qi, who is also the president of Qinghe Group.
"Chairman, it's like this. When Tiantian Toutiao first launched, it neither reached a news copyright licensing agreement with the media nor cultivated a self-media team. In order to obtain enough press releases, it could only engage in such gray means.
Using bots to scrape news from the internet.”
This situation is almost common in the early stages of the establishment of Internet companies or products.
"Later, after Tiantian Toutiao got on the right track, this matter was ignored again." Lu Qi explained.
"Is it unintentional or intentional?"
Zhang Shuo is not that easy to dismiss, and he knows there is a deeper fishery inside.
At the most superficial level, it may be because there are loopholes in the management, or it could be called greed; at the most serious level, it may be contrary to the corporate culture that Meiya has always adhered to, and there is a suspicion of deception.
If we dig deeper.
Is it possible to think that Tiantian Toutiao’s so-called “mistakes” are actually just the tip of the iceberg?
This cannot but arouse Zhang Shuo's vigilance.
Sprout Group's business is getting bigger and bigger. In the past year, it has been accelerating the delegation of power to the group's subsidiaries so that the subsidiaries can operate independently.
However, when the group headquarters decentralizes power, it will inevitably weaken its control over the group's subsidiaries.
including regulatory intensity.
Zhang Shuo doesn't want to say that as soon as the group headquarters relaxes, the people below will start to have other ideas.
That is undoubtedly very dangerous.
"Well, this, of course, does not rule out subjective factors, but I still insist that this incident is just an exception." Lu Qi took it on.
"Okay, I believe in Mr. Lu's judgment. Let's take this as a lesson, and we will take it as a warning in the future." Zhang Shuo took a deep look at Lu Qi, but he didn't really continue to study further.
This undoubtedly gave Lu Qi a huge face.
Lu Qi himself felt a lot of pressure. He was a very smart person, so he naturally understood the deep meaning behind the big boss. Behind trust, there was often joint responsibility.
If similar things happen again in Qinghe Group in the future, then Lu Qi, the president, will be held responsible.
And it's the kind of duty-bound one.
"Chairman, it's like this. After what happened, Qinghe Group has contacted Fox Group and plans to conduct some strategic cooperation with Fox Group in terms of copyright."
"The content of the cooperation is not limited to news copyrights, but Moyin Technology plans to launch a series of cooperation with the Fox Group in film, television, drama, music and other copyrights."
Lu Qi added.
"very good!"
Zhang Shuo then nodded with satisfaction.
In this news copyright crisis, the Fox Group is the most enthusiastic, even resorting to legal action.
As for Xinjing Bao, Zhang Shuo made it clear from the beginning that Tiantian Toutiao could not capture any of the Xinjing Bao reports.
Xin Jing Bao wanted to make trouble, but couldn't find a reason.
After making a disguised apology and promptly opening the user-agent of the Tiantian Toutiao crawler tool, what Qinghe Group needs to do is to obtain the Fox Group’s understanding.
The best understanding is not to apologize, but to cooperate.
It is said that everything in the world is for profit, and since the Fox Group has been so high-profile this time, it certainly cannot be ruled out that there are some shady forces behind it.
But no matter what the calculation is behind the scenes, the final goal is always profit.
In this case, Qinghe Group might as well take the initiative to extend an olive branch, launch strategic cooperation with the already declining Fox Group, and take the initiative to turn hostility into friendship.
As long as both parties have enough interest ties, no matter what conspiracy is behind it, it will be ineffective.
This is called "using force to overcome skill"!
It was rare for Lu Qi to come up with such a clever method in such a short period of time, so Zhang Shuo was naturally satisfied.
It can be seen from this.
It is indeed very appropriate for Lu Qi to take charge of Qinghe Group as well.
Of course, the issues in Tiantian Toutiao were just the appetizer at the meeting. The focus was still on the group president, Lu Kai, who focused on reporting on his contacts with Vitron Medical and Marui Medical.
This is the big thing in the near future.
"The acquisition of Marian Medical is currently progressing gratifyingly."
Lu Kai looked very excited, "Just yesterday, the group signed a cooperation framework with Marian Medical. The main clause is to help Marian Medical privatize and delist from the U.S. stock market."
"At the same time, Qing Ning Group's acquisition of the equity of one of the major shareholders of Marian Medical has also been approved by the board of directors of Marian Medical."
This basically means that Qing Ning Group’s acquisition of Marui Medical is a sure thing.
Things went surprisingly smoothly indeed.
Of course, it can also be understood that Lu Kai did a good job in the early work. After getting Zhang Shuo's approval, the follow-up work was paved and there were almost no obstacles.
Everything fell into place.
"How is the progress at Weichuang Medical?" Zhang Shuo asked with a smile.
Winning the Marui is basically more than half of the success.
"With Weichuang, it was quite difficult to talk about it at the beginning. It seemed that they were not very enthusiastic about being acquired by Lime Group. After learning that we signed an agreement with Marui, they suddenly became proactive again."
"interesting."
Zhang Shuo also guessed what Wei Chuang was thinking.
They were not enthusiastic at the beginning because they naturally wanted to take the path of independent development. To be precise, the founding team of Weichuang was unwilling to lose absolute control over Weichuang.
But watching Qing Ning Group take over Marui, things are completely different.
Backed by the super big tree of Sprout Group, it is obvious that with the support of the parent company, once it successfully enters the field of medical devices, there will be basically nothing to happen to Weichuang.
Weichuang's diversified development strategy is bound to be nothing more than a storm in a teapot.
Can't make any waves.
It will also be more favored by investors. The road to spin-off and listing in the future is undoubtedly full of uncertainties.
In this case.
So from Wei Chuang's perspective, naturally we have no choice but to "join if you can't beat it."
It's very real.
………
The next week will be uneventful.
The Tiantian Toutiao controversy ended in a semi-dramatic way as Qinghe Group and Fox Group signed a copyright strategic cooperation agreement. Fox Group took the initiative to withdraw the lawsuit.
If the perpetrators of the suffering are not held accountable, what else can the masses be more serious about?
And compared with Tiantian Toutiao and other apps such as Tenda News, their appearance is even more ugly. Even the Fox Group itself is actually not that high-minded.
It can be said that the world is as black as a crow.
In comparison, Tiantian Toutiao is actually quite good, but it has just been targeted.
Shoot the first bird!
Fortunately, this turmoil can be regarded as a good lesson for the sprout group, which has always been smooth sailing, and a bucket of cold water was poured on it, making sprouts realize——
"Since you want to be a top student and stand out from the crowd, you must be prepared to be criticized at any time."
Only by continuous self-evolution, self-supervision, and self-improvement can we withstand the criticism of any competitor and prevent the enemy from finding weaknesses and flaws in their attacks.
Therefore.
Zhang Shuo even released a rare internal personal letter from within Sprout.
Take this as a warning!
………
Capital, a certain club.
"Lao Zhuang, after all, can't achieve great things. No wonder the Fox Group is becoming less and less effective."
Big Brother's face looked slightly gloomy.
He originally planned to take advantage of this rare opportunity to strike at Germination.
The result was another one with an anticlimactic end.
What's even more distressing is that through this incident, the Fox Group in the original camp will, as expected, have to shake hands with Moya to make peace again.
Not to mention joining the budding camp.
At the very least, there is no major conflict of interest and I will never fight for Big Brother again.
Just like Wanda before.
Suddenly looking back, Big Brother was shocked to find that whether he took the initiative to attack Mei Ya or secretly helped him, every time he competed with Mei Ya, the number of allies around him would decrease.
Like the uncle, he has formed a new circle and is gradually drifting away from his big brother.
On the contrary, there is Zhang Shuo, who is not good at socializing and has never run a business circle. The Germination Group led by him is becoming more and more prosperous in the Chinese business circle.
Who can you tell me about this?
………
Monday, June 16th.
In the office, Zhang Shuo is browsing the news and tracking global hot spots.
Last Friday, the World Cup in Brazil officially opened. I originally thought it would be a wonderful football feast, but no one would have thought that this World Cup would become a sanctuary for "strong teams".
Especially the host nation, Brazil, was beaten 7:1 by Prussia, creating the biggest humiliation in football history.
Also last week, the global mobile phone circle was also "turbulent". First, the overseas giant AMSun refused to be left alone and solemnly launched the smartphone e.
Needless to say, I know what it is.
The smartphone industry is very profitable, but not everyone can do it.
Not to mention industry novices like Lin Sun, even veteran players in the mobile phone industry like Weiruan are still stuck in the quagmire of smartphones?
Still haven't been able to escape.
Even though it acquired Nokia's mobile phone business, it also failed to take off.
In the Chinese market, it is even more surprising that the upstart Internet company Beiwang, which has risen "strongly" in the past year or two, suddenly bought a stake in Kupi and became the second largest shareholder of Kupi.
To know.
In the past year or so, the Qiku mobile phone brand jointly established by Kupi and Qihu can be said to be a dark horse in the field of domestic mobile phones. Although it is not as good as Xiaomi, OV and the like, it can still rank among the top ten.
.
Even the first six sequences.
Especially following the pace of Maili Group and taking advantage of Maili Group's supply chain, I got a sip of good soup.
Unexpectedly, Kupi was just greedy. Here he and Qihu were still in the honeymoon period, but over there he got involved with the Internet upstart Sadness and gave Qihu a hard blow in the back.
This made the leader of the church furious, and it is said that he scolded his mother directly in the office.
But scolding and scolding is not the answer.
After calming down a little, the leader's first thought was not to discuss the matter with Kupi, but to call Zhang Shuo directly.
"Brother, can you give me some pointers this time?" The leader was very affectionate.
"..."
Zhang Shuo was slightly stunned.
According to what he means, of course he hopes that Qihu can focus on his old profession, which is the field of network security, and stop messing around with the leader, who is a mudslide in the investment world.
But after all, this life is different.
Due to a strange combination of circumstances, Qi Ku and Mo Ya developed a slight relationship.
It doesn't seem appropriate to leave it alone.
"Brother, please tell me first. Do you really want to do the smartphone industry as a second venture like the leader, or is it purely speculative?" Zhang Shuo did not answer the question.
“Of course it’s a second venture!”
No matter what the leader thinks in his heart, he answers simply.
God is so pitiful.
As a mudslide in the investment world, Qiku has become one of the many investment targets of the leader. So far, it is the most successful one, and there is no way it would just let it go.
It's quite a life-saving straw.
"If that's the case, then I suggest, brother, why not just take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to completely separate Qiku from Kupi?!" Zhang Shuo gave his suggestion.
He knows it.
The combination of Original Time and Space, Cool π and Sadness will not end well.
Particularly sad, as a dark horse that has suddenly emerged in China's Internet industry in the past one or two years, it will continue to be popular in the next one or two years.
Even far better than now.
But that's all. The most glorious moment also brings about the tragic final glory.
Then the demon will disintegrate!
"I want it too."
Zhang Shuo's suggestion undoubtedly reached the heart of the leader, "The problem is, with Qiku's current momentum, I'm afraid Kupi won't let go so easily."
Even if Kupi is willing to withdraw from Qiku, the price offered is probably enough to make a profit.
Otherwise, the leader wouldn’t have to worry about it.
"Brother, Sprout Investments, are you interested in cooperating with Qihu?" Having said this, the leader finally showed his fox tail.
I hurriedly called Zhang Shuo. The second step was to seek advice. The key was to find a partner.
From the perspective of the leader, Sprout Investment has strong strength, and naturally it is not afraid of the big appetite of cool π.
The most important thing is that with Sprout's strong influence in the entire Chinese smartphone industry chain, Cool Pi doesn't dare to really open its mouth.
Kupi chose to cooperate with Beishi, which is a bit powerful, but it also exposed its ambition, proving that it wants to do something big in the smartphone market.
That being the case, we can't offend Mei Ya even more.
In the Chinese smartphone industry, what will be the consequences of offending Suya?
The fate of Charming Arrow is the best explanation.
As one of the pioneers in China's smartphone industry, it was even ahead of Xiaomi and OV at one time, but now it has fallen to the third echelon.
There are even signs of being overtaken by rookies like Qiku.
Although it is said that the main reason for Mei Yao's current downfall actually comes from within, in the eyes of the outside world, Mei Yao's standing on the opposite side of the sprout is the biggest original sin.
Even the leader holds a similar view on this matter.
Sprout Investment has both strength and sufficient deterrence, so it is naturally the best partner. Even better, Qihu can take this opportunity to deepen its relationship with the Sprout Group and continue to hold on to its thighs.
It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.
"I'm afraid this won't work."
Zhang Shuo shook his head, "Rainya has already stipulated that it will never enter the mid- to low-end mobile phone market."
"???"
The leader, who was originally full of confidence, was momentarily stunned.
