Chapter 521: The First Meeting

"Well, that's all I have to say. If there's anything missing, you can help me fill it in. In the conference room of the headquarters of Sohu in Yanjing, Zhang Siyuan, who had just finished speaking, looked at the management of Times Technology and Sohu below.

It has been two days since Huang Yuguang looked for him, and in the past two days, Zhang Siyuan has spent other time thinking about the merger of Times Technology and Sohu except for going out with Li Han and others. After the merger of the two companies, many things will change, and in order for these changes not to affect the normal operation of the company, it is necessary for the executives of Times Technology to meet with the executives of Sohu.

The merger of the two companies is really cumbersome to deal with, so under Zhang Siyuan's orders, except for Guo Hongyan and Xu Zelei who stayed in Times Technology to watch the company, the leaders of various departments of Times Technology followed Gao Changjiang and Zhang Junkui to Yanjing. Today is the first time they have met, so Zhang Siyuan also came forward to preside over it.

It's just that Zhang Siyuan waited for a few minutes after he finished speaking, and there was no opening in the conference room. As time passed, Zhang Siyuan's brows furrowed, and he looked at Zeng Fuhu and Gao Changjiang on both sides of the conference table.

Even if Zhang Siyuan looked at the two of them, Zeng Fuhu and Gao Changjiang still didn't say a word. Zhang Siyuan also felt funny in his heart, these two people had talked to him so many times about the merger before the merger. Now it's time for the executives of the two companies to sit down and talk, and one by one is comparing patience again.

However, Zhang Siyuan didn't want them to be so grinding, after all, it was a waste of his time. Even if Zhang Siyuan knew that it would definitely not be possible to discuss the issues that needed to be dealt with once or twice about the merger, Zhang Siyuan still wanted to be able to arrange everything as quickly as possible.

Seeing that the two of them still didn't speak, Zhang Siyuan said with a smile: "If you don't have any opinions, then this matter is settled." Half a month before the completion of the Times Technology headquarters building, everyone on the Sohu side was ready to go to work in Shanghai. ”

For Times Technology and Sohu, although it is said that the palms and backs of the hands are all meat, Zhang Siyuan's heart is still biased towards Times Technology. So as soon as Zhang Siyuan opened his mouth, he helped Gao Changjiang gain the initiative. Zhang Siyuan is not afraid that Zeng Fuhu has opinions, before the merger, he said that the merger is dominated by Times Technology, so it is inevitable that Zeng Fuhu will be passive when meeting with people from Times Technology.

At the beginning, Zhang Siyuan had already explained the entire plan of the merger to the two executives in the conference room. It involves all aspects of the two companies, and it's just a herb, so Zhang Siyuan knows that there will definitely be problems. Zeng Fuhu didn't speak, so Zhang Siyuan wanted to force Zeng Fuhu to speak.

Of course, Zeng Fuhu would not understand Zhang Siyuan's thoughts, and helped the glasses on the bridge of his nose, Zeng Fuhu said to Zhang Siyuan, who was sitting at the top: "Mr. Zhang, there is no problem with the content. However, in terms of specific details, I think we should discuss with Mr. Gao and them, and I believe that Mr. Gao must also mean this. ”

Regarding the meaning expressed in Zeng Fuhu's words, Zhang Siyuan naturally did not pretend not to understand. Zeng Fuhu said this, which meant that the next things would be handed over to him and Gao Changjiang, and Zhang Siyuan would not need to worry about the rest. Zhang Siyuan knew that Zeng Fuhu was blaming him for forcing him to speak first, but he didn't care, and simply took advantage of the situation to leave the conference room.

"Okay, then you can discuss it with Mr. Gao, I still have some things to deal with. Zhang Siyuan smiled and walked out of the conference room.

Zhang Siyuan is not worried about the situation in the conference room at all, the general direction is determined, and there will be no problems in the small direction as long as the two sides do not bite each other. He was willing to come out because he didn't want to interfere in the negotiations between Gao Changjiang and Zeng Fuhu anymore, he had already helped Gao Changjiang take the lead just now, if he continued to help so much, Zeng Fuhu didn't blame him, Zhang Siyuan himself would blame himself.

Zhang Siyuan, who walked out of the conference room, went straight back to his office, but it didn't take long for the office door to be knocked. Then Zhang Siyuan saw Zhang Junkui, who was smiling, walk into the office and sit on the chair opposite him.

Zhang Siyuan looked at Zhang Junkui, who was sitting opposite him, and asked with some surprise: "Mr. Zhang, are they finished talking?"

"No, I'm bored, so I'll come out to talk to you about the company. Zhang Junkui said with some indifference.

For Mr. Zhang, he was not really interested in the merger of the two companies. If it weren't for the fact that the personnel department was in charge of him, he wouldn't want to come to Yanjing this time. As soon as Zhang Siyuan walked out of the conference room, the smell of gunpowder came out between Zeng Fuhu and Gao Changjiang.

Zhang Junkui, who felt bored, found an excuse and left the conference room, Zhang Junkui felt that it was better to let him stay in the conference room than to come to Zhang Siyuan to talk about the company's development plan. After all, in addition to the personnel department, another important department under him is the marketing department. He has also been staring at the marketing department during this time, and the affairs of the personnel department are basically decided by Qin Siyu, and he rarely needs to ask.

Zhang Siyuan didn't skip this topic so simply, but asked Zhang Junkui a little strangely: "The merger of the two companies is such an important thing, Mr. Zhang, are you bored?"

Zhang Junkui smiled and replied, "Dong Zhang, this is boring and not boring. I mean the stuff they're talking about is boring and has nothing to do with me. I'm also wasting my time over there, so I might as well come to you. ”

Zhang Siyuan became interested, and then asked, "What's the boring method? What are they discussing after I come out?"

Although Zhang Siyuan believed that Gao Changjiang and Zeng Fuhu could handle things well, Zhang Siyuan was still more interested in what they talked about. But Zhang Junkui said that the things the two of them talked about were boring, and Zhang Siyuan was a little confused at this time.

Zhang Junkui looked at Zhang Siyuan, who was curious, and smiled: "To be honest, this merger is so troublesome because of your existence." Otherwise, why do we need to come to Yanjing, just say the conditions. ”

"What do you say?" Zhang Siyuan didn't care about Zhang Junkui's answer, but found a new focus in Zhang Junkui's words.

"Generally speaking, when one company annexes another company, the other that is annexed basically has no qualifications to negotiate conditions, and the arrangement of specific affairs should be decided by the annexed one. But because of your existence, it is not so much that Times Technology merged with Sohu, but that you put your property together. With your men on both sides, you're definitely looking for a bowl of water. Even if Sohu is the merged party, it can still negotiate terms with Times Technology. On the other hand, Times Technology needs to take your opinions into account, so what was originally very simple is much more complicated. Zhang Junkui did not change the topic this time, but replied directly.

Regarding the merger of Sohu into Times Technology, Zhang Junkui's heart is supportive. But Zhang Junkui didn't like the merger method a little. That's why he had something to say in the conversation and forced the topic to this point.

Zhang Siyuan shook his head and said to Zhang Junkui: "Mr. Zhang, you are wrong. If it weren't for me, it would have been absolutely impossible for Sohu to merge with Times Technology. The two companies themselves are an equal merger, and it can even be said that this merger of Sohu is a loss. If it weren't for the fact that the merger of Sohu into Times Technology would have helped Times Technology a lot, I would not have considered merging the two companies. You know, if you really merge, I'm the one who suffers. ”

As for the opinions that other people may have, Zhang Siyuan has long taken into account. Zhang Siyuan knew that there would definitely be people who would have opinions about the merger and meeting to talk, but he didn't expect it to be Zhang Junkui who proposed it. As Zhang Junkui said, according to the normal process, Sohu is not qualified to put forward so many conditions. But many things can't be seen normally, which is also something that Zhang Siyuan thinks others can't consider.

After all, Zhang Siyuan not only wants Sohu's technology, but also Sohu's people. In addition to the talents that Sohu itself has, Zhang Siyuan, who newly entered Sohu after the acquisition of ChinaRen, did not want to give up. After these people reach Times Technology, they will definitely not be able to be low-level employees, and they will definitely occupy some management positions.

This is also the reason why Zhang Siyuan asked them to talk, because in this case, someone will inevitably be pushed down by others because of their ability. Now let them know this in advance, which is also the purpose of Zhang Siyuan to let them talk. Not to mention anything else, at least the position of president, there must be a priority at that time.

Let's not talk about the excessively high for the time being, let's talk about the simplest marketing department and the personnel department. Both companies have these departments, and after the merger, it will be troublesome whether to focus on the original managers of Times Technology or the managers of Sohu. The only option is for the capable to go up and the incompetent to go down. In addition to a limited number of high-level positions, it can be said that after the merger, there will be some changes in the positions of many department heads of Times Technology.

Zhang Junkui fell silent when he heard Zhang Siyuan's words, and after thinking for five minutes, he said: "It's that I think it's too simple, but Mr. Zhang, if you follow this way, there will be problems at that time." ”

Zhang Junkui's thinking is very simple, a company's team structure must be stable. If there are too many changes in the leadership of various departments, it will cause instability. The most important thing is that in addition to the technology department and the finance department, the managers of several other departments of Times Technology are basically promoted by him, Zhang Junkui doesn't want to see the people he selected being PK by Sohu's people.

"It's okay, nothing is wrong. This is the only time, and this will not be the case again. It's just the uniqueness of Sohu that I decided, and if there is any company in the future, I won't think about merging into Times Technology anymore, at most as a subsidiary of Times Technology. Zhang Siyuan explained with a smile.
