Soon, half a month passed. There is only half a month left until the millennium. Sixteen days later, the gears of time are about to enter the twentieth century, which is also the beginning of China's economic take-off.

In the conference room of Times Technology, several executives of Times Technology were sitting on both sides of the conference table, waiting for Zhang Siyuan to come in for a meeting. The meeting was announced by Zhang Siyuan the day before, and several of them didn't know about today's meeting, and they were thinking about what Zhang Siyuan wanted to say in their hearts.

At nine o'clock, Zhang Siyuan walked into the conference room on time. Today's Zhang Siyuan came to the company in a rare formal suit. This dress was bought by Zhou Zixuan yesterday.

Zhang Siyuan walked to the conference table and sat down, handed the documents in his hands to Gao Changjiang and Xu Zelei on the left and right, and asked them to pass them down in turn. After everyone had a copy, Zhang Siyuan began to speak.

"We are holding a meeting today on the topic of the company's recent strategic plan. I believe that all of you here have some understanding of this plan. That's right, it's the Extinction Project. The document in everyone's hands now is the main content of this extinction plan, let's take a look at it, and then say what you think. ”

After waiting for a while, seeing that everyone was almost watching, Zhang Siyuan continued: "Let's start with Mr. Gao first, Mr. Gao, let's talk about your thoughts." ”

Gao Changjiang didn't expect Zhang Siyuan to be the first to call his name, so he reacted after a moment and cleared his throat: "For what Mr. Zhang said, I am 10,000 in favor of the extinction plan. I believe everyone knows what I used to do, in my opinion, every industry will have its own giants, some industries will have several giants, and some industries will have only one. And in my heart, Times Technology can become a giant in the instant messaging software industry, there is no one. That's why I chose to jump to Times Technology in the first place, but of course it's a bit of a stretch, let's get back to the topic. ”

"At present, everyone knows that in the domestic instant messaging software market, the main ones are QQ and YY of our Times Technology. At present, the market share of the two products is about the same, and our company's QQ can be said to be slightly better. But is this something to be proud of? Not at all, why should we share the opportunity to be a giant when we can be the only giant. If we can't even beat Tencent, why should we go out of the country and rush to the world. I think the plan formulated by Mr. Zhang this time is very good. Although Tencent was founded before our company, Tencent once lagged behind our company. Why are we catching up now, it's just that we took a nap. Now we feel that we can't go on like this. If we want Times Technology to become the top instant messaging software provider, then we must beat Tencent, and I will work hard for this goal in the following work. That's all I have to say, thank you. ”

After the people below applauded, Zhang Siyuan continued: "Now Mr. Xu will talk about his thoughts." ”

"Before I start my speech, I need to do a self-examination. The reason why Tencent's YY can catch up with our QQ data now is because of my lax management and problems with my work attitude. This is my responsibility, I originally asked for a demotion, but Mr. Zhang only gave a penalty of deducting one month's salary, which made me feel deeply uneasy. This extinguishing plan, the main responsibility of our technical department, I and our entire technical department, in the next time, do everything we do, resolutely implement the company's instructions, and work hard for the extinguishing plan. ”

Without waiting for the people below to applaud, Zhang Siyuan said: "Okay, okay, let's have a meeting with our own people, just like these people, there are some things that are not needed." Don't waste time, we've got something to do after the meeting. Come, Mr. Zhang, you go on. ”

Zhang Junkui smiled: "I also raise my hands in favor of the extinction plan, and in the next work, I will cooperate with Mr. Xu's side to do every job well and not drag the company back." Briefly, that's all. Mr. Guo, it's your turn. ”

"I, I don't have much to say. Anyway, if you need anything, just come to me. Just remember that I have your back. Guo Hongyan smiled and said.

After all, he is in charge of the money bag, and he speaks differently. If the employees of the company need anything, they really have to look for her. If she doesn't nod, many things really can't be done, which is why no one in the company dares to offend her.

Seeing that several key executives had finished speaking, Zhang Siyuan continued: "The work that other departments need to do during this period has been arranged. Let me focus on asking, is there any problem on Director Qin's side?"

Qin Siyu, who was named by Zhang Siyuan, stood up and said, "There is no problem, the employees of the personnel department are ready." ”

The current Qin Siyu is completely different from before. Qin Siyu was very beautiful in the past, but he didn't have any temperament. Since Zhang Junkui came, he has grown up quickly. Confident, decisive, and an image of a strong woman, Zhang Siyuan, who has not seen Qin Siyu for a long time, shines brightly.

After Qin Siyu finished speaking, Zhang Siyuan continued: "Then let me summarize, what Mr. Gao said is that there is no problem." From the beginning of its establishment, Times Technology has only had a few employees. But from the very beginning, Times Technology's goal has been to become the world's largest social networking platform. Now, the first hurdle in front of us has arisen, and that is Tencent. ”

"For Tencent, I don't think I need to say too much, everyone knows what company it is. A company that relied on imitating our company's products is now able to keep up with us. To be honest, I'm ashamed. Although Tencent is not as profitable as our company, it is a shame that their users can be about the same as ours. If we can't even solve such a company, then honestly, there is no need for us to sit here. Our great goals are just empty talk. My concern for the next war, yes, is a war, but a war without gunpowder. I am fully confident that we will win this war in the end. ”

"Why do I say that? Because we have a series of products such as QQ, QQ Music, QQ Legend, QQ Navigation, etc. These products are all developed by the outside world. And Tencent, except for QQ, is an imitation of ours. Evil is invincible, and we will definitely be able to defeat them. We still have a lot of things that they don't have, and that's where Tencent can't compare to us. I hope that everyone can have the same confidence in the company as I do. When the company needs you most, stick with it until the end. Tell me, what faith do you have?"

"Yes!"

"Then I'll start arranging the following work plan. ”

This time, Zhang Siyuan did not look for Gao Changjiang first, but called Xu Zelei next to him: "Mr. Xu." ”

"In. ”

Zhang Siyuan looked at Xu Zelei and said solemnly: "After the opening will be over in a while, the technical department will begin to prepare for the release of a new version of QQ and a new version of QQ games." Your technical department has a difficult task of always paying attention to the user usage survey of the new version and making improvements. Immediately make changes to any imperfections that are discovered. Then we have to always pay attention to Tencent's actions and respond. ”

"Mr. Zhang, you can rest assured that all the staff of our technical department are ready. Xu Zelei agreed respectfully.

Hearing Xu Zelei say that, Zhang Siyuan nodded and shouted to Zhang Junkui on the other side: "Mr. Zhang." ”

"In. ”

Zhang Siyuan looked at Zhang Junkui and said: "The tasks of the three departments of personnel, publicity and marketing are not much easier, and many actions must be completed with the technical department." I hope that the two departments of you can work together in the coming period to make the company stronger. ”

"Mr. Zhang, don't worry. Everything is waiting for Mr. Xu's notice, as long as Mr. Xu's side is OK, our side can start work at any time. Zhang Junkui nodded.

Then Zhang Siyuan said to Guo Hongyan: "Mr. Guo, Mr. Xu and Mr. Zhang, if there is anything that needs your cooperation, I hope you can do your best to cooperate." You're our big butler, don't drop the chain for us at a critical moment. ”

"Mr. Zhang, don't worry. As long as there is a need, I will work overtime to help Mr. Zhang and Mr. Xu deal with it. Guo Hongyan also replied with a smile.

Looking at a group of middle and senior managers in the office, Zhang Siyuan continued: "The main person in charge of this extinction plan is Gao Changjiang, and you will report to President Gao as soon as you have any situation." Everything is subject to Mr. Gao's arrangement, okay, that's it, let's go separately and dismiss the meeting!"

When everyone walked out, Zhang Siyuan saw that Gao Changjiang was still sitting in the office, and asked Gao Changjiang suspiciously, "Mr. Gao, why are you still here?"

"I'm a little worried about this matter, so I want to talk to Mr. Zhang. Gao Changjiang said with a smile.

Hearing this, Zhang Siyuan sat down and asked Gao Changjiang, "Where are you not at ease?"

"External pressure. Gao Changjiang said firmly.

Gao Changjiang felt that there was nothing wrong with Zhang Siyuan's plan, but he didn't seem to consider external factors at all. For example, the human factor, after all, the relationship network behind Tencent is very complex, and as far as he knows, Times Technology does not have a backstage.

Hearing Gao Changjiang's concern, Zhang Siyuan smiled. He thought there was something wrong with his plan, but he didn't expect it to be the reason. He really hasn't thought about this question, after all, let's not talk about Zhang Aiguo behind him, let's talk about Zhou Liguo. With this future father-in-law who has agreed to his affair with Zhou Zixuan, no one in Shanghai can touch him. He is now the same as Zhang Aiguo, who is his strong backing.

As for from other places, such as the upper echelons, Zhang Siyuan is not easy to bully. Although Zhou Yujun's old man is not very good compared to some people, he is a lot more powerful than him in their department. At that time, it is not necessarily who is bullying whom, Zhang Siyuan does not want to bring down Tencent through some abnormal means.

Putting aside the opposites, whether before or after rebirth, Zhang Siyuan admires Ma Tenghua and Boss Ma very much. In any case, there is only one person who can rely on imitation and finally live better than imitation. This is a person with real skills, if it weren't for the opposite, Zhang Siyuan really wanted to make friends with Ma Tenghua.

Putting aside the thoughts in his mind, Zhang Siyuan smiled and said to Gao Changjiang: "Mr. Gao, you think too much. I've thought about this, don't worry, there won't be a problem. ”

"That's if I think too much, then I'll go first. Gao Changjiang looked at Zhang Siyuan's confident appearance and knew that he was thinking too much. It is obvious that there are some strong people behind Zhang Siyuan, not to mention how powerful, at least he can fight against those behind Tencent. And as long as it can be like this, it is the best for them.

After all, if you really fight for strength, Tencent and Times Technology are not enough to see at all. No matter what aspect it is compared, Tencent can't compare to Times Technology. Times Technology has Zhang Siyuan, and Zhang Siyuan doesn't know where so many whimsical ideas came from in his head. Gao Changjiang thinks that even if Tencent imitates it, it is estimated that it will not have time to imitate so many things.

One side has been prepared for a long time, and the other side has rushed to the battle. Or in the case of the same number of troops, but one side is the elite of a hundred battles, and the other side is a recruit in the first battle, no matter how you fight, the recruit loses.

When Gao Changjiang walked to the door, he was stopped by Zhang Siyuan: "Mr. Gao, wait." ”

"Mr. Zhang, what's the matter?" Gao Changjiang asked Zhang Siyuan.

"I just thought of a question and wanted to ask you. ”

You say. ”

"Someone persuaded me to merge Sohu into Times Technology, isn't it that the Times Portal is not very good, it can just fill the gap of Times Technology. But you know, I don't know much about this and would like to ask you for the opinion of a professional. ”

Hearing Zhang Siyuan's words, Gao Changjiang said with a smile: "This matter, of course, Sohu is Sohu, and Times Technology is Times Technology." ”

"Why?"

Looking at Zhang Siyuan's puzzled look, Gao Changjiang explained: "You are not the only shareholder of the two companies, right, they both have absolute control. Then in the case of mergers and acquisitions, the equity will have to change, and you will have a large loss at that time. If both companies belong to you in the past, it doesn't matter if you merge or not. However, you only have a majority stake in both companies, and you will lose no matter who merges with whom. If you're not short of money, I recommend you don't need to. ”

"Okay, I see, that's it, you go get busy. Zhang Siyuan said when he heard this.

He doesn't know much about mergers and acquisitions. Anyway, he knows that if he buys someone else's, as long as Times Technology buys it back, he will make money. But Sohu has his shares, and if he merges and acquisitions, whether it is cash or exchange shares, he will lose money in the short term. After all, Sohu is about to go public, and Times Technology is still early.

Thinking of the end, Zhang Siyuan didn't bother to think about it anymore, anyway, the money was earned by himself, so what was there to worry about. Everything, let's wait for the collapse of Tencent.
