Chapter 53: Sudden Change in the Storm (5)
It should have been dusk when the night was falling, but in Shanghai in summer, the afterglow of the sunset was still dazzling.
It was the rush hour after work, Fu Junhuai and his car were blocked in the inner ring viaduct, the dazzling light poked at Fu Junhuai's eyes through the glass, he frowned and squinted, the bangs in front of his forehead drooped down, hanging between his eyebrows, and trembling with his eyelashes.
Although they had long been prepared against Dongfang Zhengda's methods, they took such a reckless risk to hang the company's interests on the edge of the cliff, which Fu Junhuai did not expect. This method should also be a product of Song Qiyi after joining Dongfang Zhengda.
After an afternoon of mediation, Fu Junhuai confirmed that he was skeptical, neutral, and angry about the incident, and that the shareholders who had always trusted Zhao Donglai and him believed that in the near future, Oriental CP would launch a shareholders' meeting to impeach the CEO, and he must confirm his intention with these shareholders as soon as possible so as not to be too passive at the shareholders' meeting.
Fu Junhuai finally arrived at Mr. Li's mansion, which is one of the few old bungalows in Shanghai, I remember that in the early days of the business, he and Zhao Donglai often came to Mr. Li's home to discuss the company's operation plan, and Li was always their Bole and their angel investor.
"Xiaofu, you are too passive in this matter. Mr. Li took a sip of hot tea and leaned back on the sofa.
"We did our best to limit the weight of the P2P business in the company, but we really didn't put enough effort into overseas policy. Fu Jun bowed his head and looked at the tea leaves in the teacup, it was the Taiping Monkey Kui.
"Xiaofu, a few years ago, when we were drinking tea together, I remembered that you loved black tea. Mr. Li looked at Fu Junhuai with a smile.
"Yes, the black tea is rich and mellow. ”
"Yes, there are not many young people who love tea, but Xiaofu, look at the bowl of tea in front of you. Mr. Li raised his hand and asked Fu Jun to taste this Taiping monkey kui.
Fu Junhuai calmed down, picked up the tea bowl, and tasted the tea carefully.
"Sweet as an orchid, quiet but not cold. ”
"Hahaha, Xiaofu, do you know why I like this Taiping Monkey Kui?"
Fu Junhuai raised his head and looked at Mr. Li, Mr. Li's smile was meaningful, just like the first time they met in the teahouse, as if they could find the answer they wanted in his eyes.
"Some people think that the Taiping Monkey Kui is light and tasteless, but I like its introverted introvertedness, even after three or four bubbles, it is still fragrant. ”
Mr. Li sat up straight and approached Fu Junhuai: "Xiao Fu, you are already in the C round, and my shares have been almost diluted. ”
Of course, Fu Junhuai understood what Mr. Li meant, he did not expect Mr. Li to use his connections to reverse the situation this time, he only hoped that at the shareholders' meeting, Mr. Li's vote could stand on his and Zhao Donglai's side.
Liao Zhonghua set a time of three days. ”
For three days, Fu Junhuai was not sure how many shareholders he could lobby in three days.
"I have confirmed that I will not be present. After Mr. Li finished speaking, he picked up the tea bowl and continued to taste the tea.
Fu Junhuai looked at Mr. Li, which means that Mr. Li wants to abstain.
Fu Junhuai just wanted to try harder, but Mr. Li raised his hand to dispel his thoughts.
"ZF-link is a good start, but it's not the end for you. ”
Mr. Li's eyes were sincere and his expression was serious: "I will still wait for your arrival here." ”
After coming out of Mr. Li's mansion, Fu Junhuai still tried to lobby several shareholders with voting rights, some were temporarily anti-water, some were neutral and abstained, and more persuaded Fu Junhuai that it was important to get people first.
Back at the hospital, it was almost early in the morning, Lin Xi was lying on the side of the bed to take a nap, and the ECG monitor next to him made a slight sound with Yan Hualan's heartbeat frequency.
Fu Junhuai gently approached the hospital bed and lifted Yan Hualan's futon up, and this subtle movement also made Lin Xi wake up.
The two looked at each other and didn't say much.
Fu Junhuai had already learned about the situation encountered on the side of the content on the road, but in the face of this large number of sudden changes, Fu Junhuai chose to believe and rely on Lin Xi's judgment, this woman who was in front of him at the beginning, and now supported behind him with her thin body.
Fu Junhuai gently kissed Lin Xi's forehead, in this lonely night, Lin Xi's trust and firm eyes were enough to comfort him.
How fortunate to have met her......
Early the next morning, Fu Junhuai rushed to the police station.
Zhao Donglai spent the night in the police station, and although he looked the same as usual, his expression was full of depression.
"I didn't get any news, and as soon as I arrived at the company, I was brought over. Zhao Donglai held the hot teacup in his hand, and the cold air in the police station made him a little sluggish.
"I didn't say anything, I didn't know what to say, I was really confused. Even if there is no lawyer's reminder, Zhao Donglai really can't say why.
Fu Junhuai pondered for a long time: "Donglai, do you know the amount?"
Zhao Donglai nodded, and shook his head helplessly: "550 million." ”
There was silence for a while, and the policemen next to him couldn't stand it anymore, closed the door, went out to hang around twice to drink water, and then came in to remind him.
"Dongfang Zhengda proposed that you and I unconditionally sell equity and withdraw from ZF-link, and the debt of 550 million yuan will be borne by the company. Fu Junhuai stated what Liao Zhonghua meant, and when Zhao Donglai heard it, his eyes immediately widened.
"He's going to get rid of us and let us get out of the house!"
Fu Junhuai closed his eyes, the time will come sooner or later, but he and Zhao Donglai's shares add up to more than 51%, Dongfang Zhengda wants to monopolize it, and other shareholders will never agree, this will be a long equity battle, and the victim is still the company they founded, which carries the livelihood and hope of thousands of employees.
After Chu Yun arrived at the hospital, Lin Xi hurriedly freshened up and began the struggle between her and Dongfang Zhengda.
Lin Xi, Jiao Ao and Chu Wenwen, divided into three ways, first visited the Internet celebrities in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai one by one, and the new signing conditions have been relaxed to only sign the project and not the person, and cooperate in the form of advertising communication and content planning.
In every link of content operation, everyone is a community of interests, and having a strong brand endorsement is certainly the icing on the scene, but the most fundamental driving force for maintaining the content ecology is creativity and communication.
After Lin Xi confirmed with Fu Junhuai last night, the two reached an agreement, and from today, a tough battle with Dongfang Zhengda on the content front began.
Just after visiting an Internet celebrity, although the other party is still a little hesitant in the face of the new contract, Lin Xi feels that everything has the possibility of maneuvering, as long as his team can be united and stable at this time, it should not take too long to get through this hurdle.
Lin Xi had just sat down in the convenience store and was about to eat a bowl of instant noodles before continuing, when the mobile phone rang, it was Sheng Fan.
Walking out of the subway station and walking to the entrepreneurial park of Orange Song, the bamboo on the side of the road has grown two stories high. I remember when I first moved to this entrepreneurial park, they were probably on Lin Xi's shoulders.
Lin Xi completed the visitor procedures at the front desk of Orange Song in accordance with the process, and Li Yirong, who smelled the wind early, quietly walked to the front desk.
"Boss, why are you here? Li Yirong asked in a low voice.
"The boss called me here. ”
"Oh......" Li Yirong said thoughtfully: "The matter of ZF-link has been spread by them quite ugly, if the rat spirit and the lobster come to chat with you for a while, it is estimated that they will find a way to disgust you." ”
Lin Xi smiled, "Big Lobster" must be the nickname they gave Long Bei in private.
Looking at Li Yirong's worried look, a warm current surged into his heart, although he left Orange Song, but in the entrepreneurial process of those years, he left not only his performance, but also these sincere friends.
Sheng Fan leaned back on the chair behind the desk and looked at Lin Xi with a worried expression: "What are you going to do next?"
Lin Xi smiled: "Break them one by one, there is always a way." ”
Sheng Fan frowned, sat up straight, put his hands on the table, and looked up at Lin Xi: "Otherwise, you can come back." ”
Lin Xi expected Sheng Fan to have such an idea, when he left, he promised to reorganize the team in half a year, and now Orange Song's development towards instrumentalization is not what he wants.
Lin Xi knew that Sheng Fan, who could copy "Dream of Red Mansions" by hand, still had a higher and farther vision in his heart.
But......
Lin Xi lowered his head, today's Orange Song is no longer the Orange Song of the year, more senior executives of large factories have joined the original flat Internet management method into a hierarchical enterprise management, although the culture encourages employees to innovate, but in fact, even if there is an idea, it is directly stuck in the middle level, it is difficult to pass it up.
In the group of "Four Happiness Pills", Li Yirong and Zhen Zhaohui will also express their disgust and disappointment with the current management model of Orange Song every day.
"I'm not fit for Orange anymore. Lin Xi smiled and looked at Sheng Fan sincerely.
Sheng Fan thought for a few seconds and sighed faintly.
"In this way, in the past six months, the content business has been transferred to Long Bei of the marketing department, although it is not as good as ZF-link's Internet celebrity matrix, but we have also accumulated a little resource in Douyin, you can talk to Long Bei, maybe you can help. ”
Lin Xi looked at Sheng Fan, she knew what kind of person he was, a soft-hearted and somewhat evasive personality, from the moment he left Orange Song, Orange Song had long since ceased to operate any content.
The platform column was revoked, no one followed up with the co-sponsor, the so-called Douyin content docking of the marketing department, as far as Lin Xi knew, was only Orange Song to carry the content to Douyin, Douyin did not give any traffic tilt, and the current content production of Orange Song was rough, basically escaped from the original, but the performance content of crawlers on other websites was no different from some passers-by accounts on Douyin.
Lin Xi didn't pick it out, but silently agreed, and Sheng Fan summoned Long Bei to the office.
"Can we cooperate with Lin Xi's side with the resources on Douyin?" Sheng Fan's question also made Lin Xi more sure that he hadn't asked about the progress of the content for a long time.
Long Bei's face was embarrassed: "Our cooperation with Douyin is actually a political task, Douyin lacks mainstream elegant art content, and our performance content can fill this one, ZF-link's content is mostly brand-based creative marketing, which is not very compatible with us." ”
When Sheng Fan heard this, he was also a little embarrassed.
"What about our own app, we can always publish their content. ”
Long Bei frowned, and replied with some embarrassment: "The content is inconsistent, it's strange to put it up." ”
Lin Xi lowered his head and smiled.
There is nothing wrong with what Long Bei said, but the communication method that cleared up the relationship in two sentences and put the boss in a dilemma must have been a little hostile to herself and Fu Jun in her heart.
When leaving, Sheng Fan repeatedly persuaded her to return to Orange Song, but Lin Xi had already made up her mind.
If you climb high, you will be inferior, if you go far, you will be self-defeating, since the reality has opened a new chapter for them, Lin Xi is determined to work with the person he loves, no matter how difficult the road ahead is, he will never retreat.
