Chapter 1097 Why?
Fan Heng asked his secretary to call Fan Kangbing to come over to have dinner with Zhu Laohuan. Chuan…arranged the work of the company headquarters in the recent period, especially during the Spring Festival, and was talking to his brother Fan Kang who came to chat.
As a big Internet acquisition customer with a lot of money, Fan Kang's actions in the Internet industry in the past year are not very big. For some websites that are optimistic about their development, he can always appear at the right time under the suggestion of Fan Wubing, and then acquire them, and provide sufficient funds for them to continue to develop.
Therefore, Fan Kang has also gained a nickname in Internet companies recently, called the boy who spreads money.
A lot of things happened last year, especially the Internet industry. There were so many events that were dizzying. The bursting of the Internet bubble awakened the dreams of countless people, which led to the closure of Internet companies that had not yet entered the profit period.
In the middle of last year, a message appeared in a prominent position on the homepage of Sina.com that Chief Executive Officer Wang Zhidong had resigned for personal reasons. At the same time, he also resigned from the positions of President and Director of the Board of Directors of Sina.com. The board of directors of Sina.com appointed the current operating officer Mao Daolin to take over as the executive officer.
After 20 days of speculation in the national media, a dramatic scene appeared.
Wang Zhidong, wearing a blue shirt with the Sina logo and a Sina employee badge, declared at the press conference, "I did not resign voluntarily, I did not sign the relevant documents, they were a surprise attack, and they did not give me a chance to explain. I don't know the reason. I am still the legal representative of Sina in the legal sense and bear legal responsibility for Sina. I can say responsibly that I will never escape from my comrades on the front line in the name of so-called personal interests.
Wang Zhidong's action exposed all the internal contradictions of Sina's board of directors.
Almost all public opinion turned to Wang Zhidong. This 33-year-old young man was the creator of Sina.com. He personally opened the door to every director on the board of directors. Now, these people have joined hands to kick him out for "personal reasons". In the Eastern business ethics where friendship is important, this is simply heaven. It is hard to accept.
However, from the perspective of capital, there is another fact.
Since its listing, Sina's stock price has fallen from a high of $55 per share to a peak of $6 per share.
Opening the Sina stock price chart, you can see a horrible scene.
Sina's shareholders have invested $160 million, with an average investment cost of $4 per share. If the continued decline cannot be curbed, everyone will lose everything.
In the eyes of shareholders, Wang Zhidong, as the chairman of the board, did nothing in the face of this decline. He did not even show that he was going to do anything, so replacing him was a logical decision.
Caijing magazine commented that the departure of an entrepreneur is a painful thing for both Sina and Wang Zhidong. It will prove that what was introduced to China in the Internet wave is not only foreign capital and Technology, and the mature market rules that go with it, will undoubtedly become a classic case, proving the rights of capital and the rationality of entrepreneurs.
Sina's capital did not compromise because of Wang Zhidong's resistance. Shareholders including Fan Kang believed that it was time to change a manager. And Wang Zhidong quickly recovered from his excessive emotional outburst. A month later, he announced the establishment of a new company.
Later, when he participated in an interview program, he said that if a person falls, he must get up immediately, otherwise, he will be trampled to death if he does not fall to death.
Of course, Wang Zhidong was not the only one who was eliminated and lonely during the Internet winter.
Two months after the Sina incident,
Wang Juntao, the famous Internet entrepreneur who founded China's first company, also announced his resignation as chairman.
Two months later, China's largest The website "Under the Banyan Tree" was sold to the German media giant Bertelsmann at a very low price.
At first, Bertelsmann's offer was 10 million RMB.
During the intermission of the negotiation, the representative of Bertelsmann happened to meet the property management staff of the office building rented by "Under the Banyan Tree" and learned that the company had been in arrears of water and electricity bills for several months.
After returning to the negotiation table, Bertelsmann's offer was suddenly reduced to 1 million RMB, and the founder Zhu William was forced to accept it.
Two months later, Shenzhen Blue Dot, which was highly sought after by the market for developing Chinese documents, was sold at a low price. Two years ago, four 25-year-old young people founded this company in a coffee shop. Its Chinese documents once accounted for 80% of the national market share. The market value of Blue Dot's stock listed on the US OTC Market was as high as 400 million US dollars.
From penniless to a market value of 400 million US dollars. It took only six months for the four young people. However, only one year later, it miraculously recovered. The stock price of the company plummeted from 22 US dollars to 3.5 cents. Finally, a Shenzhen auto parts company became its new owner with a bid of 1 million RMB.
Fan Kang said to his brother Fan Wubing with some emotion, "In this industry, you never have to worry about not having topics to talk about. In fact, in the past year or so, I have experienced too much in life. Now I understand that success or failure is such a simple matter.
Fan Wubing said with a smile, "You can't be too negative in your thinking. In fact, in the face of capital, only earning the maximum surplus value is the truth, and everything else is nonsense. If you have just Those who have the awareness, they should understand how to use the capital in their hands, and then make them more. In this era of money supremacy, only by mastering your own capital can you have the strength to face everything. Otherwise. , everything is free
.
Fan Kang nodded, agreeing with Fan Wubing's statement.
In fact, for most Internet practitioners, this is an embarrassing period of youth, in which they have loved, suffered, paid, gained, and finally lost. The Internet economy has been subverted in a very happy way. The past model of company development and wealth accumulation, but ten years after it came to the world, the eternal business laws tell all those who long for success in a very cruel and straightforward way. Like every story in the past, all growth You must go through suffering and experience, and future glory will also prove that crisis is the best teacher, and all suffering is worth it.
Of course, the past year has been quite fruitful for Fan Wubing. What makes him particularly happy is the cooperation with Apple, which allowed him to obtain the agency rights for the amazing Orbit network music player. This new product, which is the most favored by the media after Japan's Sony, will add hundreds of billions of dollars to Apple's wealth in the coming years.
Entering this market at this time is obviously a major strategic decision of Fan Investment Group. You must know that Fan Investment Group’s current agency rights not only include agency rights for the entire mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, but also include some The agency rights for countries and regions such as Southeast Asia and Central Asia and Russia that Apple does not have the ability to do are a very huge market.
Fan Wubing said something to his brother Fan Kang, which can clearly explain his thoughts, "Except for the African market, I can promote the mountain to any place!"
at night. Fan Wubing went to the hotel designated by his father to attend Fan Heng and Boss Zhu’s dinner party.
.
Because of the participation of two state-level leaders, today's dinner also received special attention. The security department and the security department also specially dispatched police support. When Fan Wubing came over, he could see or hide in the darkness. Or guards who used their identities to hide were lingering around.
In fact. Due to the impact of the previous Fan Heng poisoning incident, senior officials have strengthened security measures in this area. As for the food, etc., it is all prepared by dedicated personnel, and no more opportunities are given to those who are interested.
"Hello, Chief." When Fan Wubing came in, a guard immediately saluted and said hello.
Those who can be let in are naturally the guests invited by the two chiefs, who are also the chiefs. This is also the consciousness of the guards. Therefore, even if they see Fan Wubing is young, he still bows and says hello in a polite manner before walking in the door.
"Hello, comrades! Thank you for your hard work, comrades!" Fan Wubing also had a bad taste and waved his hand.
"Serve the people!" The guard responded smoothly as he was used to it.
When Fan Wubing entered the room, he saw his father Fan Heng chatting with Boss Zhu. Their secretaries were sitting and talking at one o'clock. The food on the table was almost ready, but both of them were He was waiting for Fan Wubing, who hadn't moved his chopsticks yet.
"What are you doing teasing the guards? It's not formal at all." Fan Heng apparently heard Fan Wubing's conversation with the guards outside and said with some dissatisfaction.
"Haha." Fan Wubing asked Boss Zhu first, and then replied, "Isn't it just smooth? It's harmless. But why don't you eat? The craftsmanship of this master looks delicious, delicious, and delicious. Move your index finger, even if you are busy with state affairs, you can't let your stomach be in debt. "
Isn't Fei waiting for you?" Boss Zhu said with a smile.
Three people plus two secretaries of the chief, a total of five people, started to eat.
Fan Wubing asked casually while eating, "What were you talking about just now?"
"Oh, we are still talking about the restructuring of state-owned enterprises," Fan Heng replied.
Regarding some things at work that are not classified as confidential, you can talk casually, especially Fan Wubing’s influence in this area is very great, so whether it is Fan Heng or Boss Zhu, they never talk about it when chatting. Don't shy away from his presence.
"The chiefs were just talking about the restructuring of Chunlan Group," Fan Heng's secretary Song Qing said.
.
It was just a coincidence. Although Fan Heng and Boss Zhu have used many secretaries recently, the ones they brought over during the meal were all female secretaries who were easy to use. As Fan Heng's personal secretary, Song Qing naturally came with them. Boss Zhu's female secretary is the young girl Fan Wubing met in his office last time.
Fan Wubing found out after asking about the recent property rights restructuring. The problem is indeed relatively
.
The property rights restructuring itself is an opportunity, and many managers have taken advantage of this opportunity to reap huge benefits. To line their own pockets, so in the recent period. These property rights scandals are detonating one after another in various places, which makes people dizzy.
A very prominent fact is that in the process of large-scale property rights reform, it is easy to reform enterprises, but difficult to reform large enterprises, easy to reform unknown enterprises, difficult to reform well-known enterprises, easy to reform loss-making enterprises, and difficult to reform profitable enterprises. Therefore, the property rights reform of some well-known large enterprises with strong profitability has become the most difficult.
At the beginning of the year, the reform of Chunlan Group, which was once high-profile, was officially shelved.
"Chunlan's reform has a strong specimen significance. Therefore, without a proper solution, their current reform plan still has great problems. So after summarizing the opinions of all parties, it is temporarily put aside." Boss Zhu is also quite concerned about this, and he explained to Fan Wubing. "Fan Wubing nodded, without saying much, just invited everyone to eat, and at the same time asked for drinks for the two female secretaries, and asked for some white wine for himself, his father and Boss Zhu.
"Forget the white wine, there may be another meeting later in the evening." Boss Zhu said.
"It's so cold, it's understandable to drink a little wine, just one glass. "Fan Wubing also responded.
In the end, Boss Zhu accepted Fan Wubing's urging, poured a small cup in front of him, and took a sip.
Fan Wubing was still a little concerned about Chunlan's restructuring, so he asked a few more questions, and everyone explained the twists and turns to Fan Wubing one by one.
Chunlan's predecessor was Taizhou Air Conditioning Equipment Factory, a county-run collective enterprise on the verge of bankruptcy in Taizhou, Jiangsu. In 1985, its assets were 2.8 million, liabilities were 5.5 million, and net assets were negative.
Under the management of his successor Tao Jianxing, Chunlan emerged as a dark horse in the air-conditioning market. By 1994, Chunlan had become a Chinese China's largest air-conditioning production base and one of the world's top seven air-conditioning companies.
By the year before last, Chunlan's asset scale reached 12 billion yuan and its net assets reached 8 billion yuan, making it a leader in China's home appliance industry. Tao Jianxing was therefore elected as an alternate member of the 15th Central Committee together with Ni Runfeng of Sichuan Changhong. He also joined the party and government organs and served as a member of the Standing Committee of the Taizhou Municipal Party Committee.
It is precisely because Chunlan is so large and Tao Jianxing is so famous that the social attention aroused by the restructuring of Chunlan this time is also very large. Since the end of the year before last, this matter has been in the planning and started with a high profile, but it was not until recently that it was stopped by the central government.
"Why?" Fan Wubing asked curiously.
