"Mr. Zhang, have you read today's news?" In Sohu headquarters, in Zhang Siyuan's office, Gu Yongqiang, who had a serious face, sat opposite Zhang Siyuan and asked a little anxiously.

Since he became the chief operating officer of Sohu, the operational efficiency of the entire Sohu has increased. All projects, whether they have been released or are under development, are proceeding in an orderly manner. Even those that have been issued are getting better and better under his operation. However, after going to work this morning, he suddenly found that negative news about Sohu had come one after another.

After reading those reports, Gu Yongqiang's head was as big as a fight. Some of the reports are true, but most of them are false. But just those real ones are enough for Sohu to eat and walk around. Because those reports are about how Zhang Siyuan took Sohu by skill, this is what makes him the most big.

If there is a problem with the top leader of a company, whether it is in charge or not, the impact on the company is huge. Zhang Siyuan really doesn't care much about Sohu's affairs, except for formulating some specific policies, the specific implementation is done by those of them below. However, whether it is for the company's image or investor confidence, if there is a problem with Zhang Siyuan's image, people's impression of the company will deteriorate, and investors will lose confidence in the company.

Although Sohu is currently operating well, no one can guarantee when it will encounter a bottleneck and need external financial stimulation. So when he saw those reports, Gu Yongqiang hurriedly rushed from his office to Zhang Siyuan's office. He knew that Zhang Siyuan came to the company yesterday, and with his understanding of Zhang Siyuan, as long as Zhang Siyuan was in Yanjing, he would definitely come to work on time. As he expected, Gu Yongqiang found Zhang Siyuan who was leisurely drinking tea in Zhang Siyuan's office.

Zhang Siyuan looked at Gu Yongqiang, who was sitting opposite with a anxious face, and said with a smile: "Mr. Gu, don't worry. They report it, what does it have to do with us. The clear ones are self-purifying, the turbid ones are turbid, the white ones can't say the black, and the black ones can't say the white. There's no need for us to be in such a hurry, just wait for the situation to develop. ”

"But......" After Gu Yongqiang heard Zhang Siyuan's nonchalant words, he hurriedly wanted to refute.

It's a pity that Gu Yongqiang didn't finish his words before he was interrupted by Zhang Siyuan, who waved his hand at Gu Yongqiang: "If it's just about the things reported by the media this morning, then Mr. Gu, you can go back and continue to work." I know this in my heart, and I'll take care of it. ”

Seeing Zhang Siyuan's serious appearance, Gu Yongqiang opened his mouth but didn't know what to say, so he could only walk out of Zhang Siyuan's office with a helpless face. Gu Yongqiang, who walked out of Zhang Siyuan's office, stood at the door of Zhang Siyuan's office for five minutes, shook his head, and walked to Zeng Fuhu's office.

Zhang Siyuan, who was sitting in the seat, looked at the back of Gu Yongqiang who disappeared at the door of the office, and a smile appeared on his face. Then he picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of tea, continuing to watch the news on the Internet.

Not long after Gu Yongqiang left, Zhou Fanyun also came to Zhang Siyuan's office. After chatting with Zhang Siyuan for a few words, Zhou Fanyun also shook his head and went out of Zhang Siyuan's office.

Until noon, several presidents of the company and some managers with real power all came to Zhang Siyuan's office. But no one walked out with a smile on their faces, and everyone had a bitter face. Some people went to Zeng Fuhu's office after they went out, and some people simply returned to their posts.

After eating at noon, Zeng Fuhu came to Zhang Siyuan's office worriedly, and asked Zhang Siyuan with some concern: "Mr. Zhang, is there really no problem at all?"

"Yes, it could cause a group of people to leave the company. Zhang Siyuan replied with a smile.

"Is it worth it?"

"Of course, it is worth it, and what is willing to stay in the company in times of crisis is the real training goal of the company. Otherwise, no matter how strong the ability is, there is no sense of belonging to the company, even if you can keep it for a while, you can't keep it for a lifetime. Zhang Siyuan replied.

Zeng Fuhu nodded when he heard Zhang Siyuan say this. Although Zeng Fuhu felt that what Zhang Siyuan said made sense, he still couldn't help but worry. After all, Zhang Siyuan played too much this time, and Zeng Fuhu was really afraid that Zhang Siyuan would really collapse Sohu in the end. This is not an ordinary game, Zhang Siyuan's plan this time Zeng Fuhu was terrified when he thought about it.

You must know that after Sohu took over from Zhang Siyuan, he was basically taking care of it alone. It can be said that during his tenure, he discovered how much potential Sohu has. Similarly, during his tenure, Sohu has developed so many new projects, all of which have great potential. He is now like a mother who cares for the fetus in her womb, but Zhang Siyuan has to ask this mother to do some difficult actions. Although it may be good for the fetus, it can also cause a miscarriage of the fetus.

Zhang Siyuan didn't care about Zeng Fuhu, but continued: "Have the shareholders of the company looked for you?"

"Most of them have been searched, as long as a small number of them have not been found. Zeng Fuhu thought for a while and replied.

Zhang Siyuan nodded, just like he thought. It's just that Zhang Siyuan didn't know which ones he looked for and which ones he didn't, so Zhang Siyuan asked Zeng Fuhu, "Who hasn't looked for you?"

"People from Microsoft and Intel haven't looked for me yet, and basically all the other minority shareholders have approached me. Zeng Fuhu replied.

Zhang Siyuan couldn't help but touch his chin: "It seems that this scene is not enough, otherwise Microsoft and Intel should not be able to sit still." Those small shareholders, no matter what they say, ignore them. When people from Microsoft and Intel look for you, you ask them to come to me directly. ”

Zeng Fuhu, who didn't agree with Zhang Siyuan's plan this time, heard Zhang Siyuan's heart tremble again when he heard Zhang Siyuan say that the drama was not enough.

Some trembling asked Zhang Siyuan, "Mr. Zhang, do you still have a plan?"

Zhang Siyuan nodded: "Of course, this is how much effort has been made." Even Microsoft and Intel have not yet taken the bait, and they are the protagonists of this play. If they don't go on stage, then I don't have to play this play. Compared to the small shareholders, they are my real target. ”

As for these negative news that failed to make Microsoft take the bait with Intel, Zhang Siyuan was prepared for a long time. After all, for these large companies, it is normal for the slightest bit of negative news to appear. As long as it's not the kind of negative news that threatens the fundamentals, it's okay for these big companies.

Zeng Fuhu, who was sitting opposite Zhang Siyuan, decided to ask Zhang Siyuan what his plans were next after some inner struggle.

"Mr. Zhang, what are your plans for the future, can you tell me about it?" Zeng Fuhu asked Zhang Siyuan thoughtfully.

Zhang Siyuan said as a matter of course: "Of course, I won't tell you, how do you cooperate with me in acting." Otherwise, when the time comes, because of your cooperation mistakes, what problems arise will be the problem. ”

When Zeng Fuhu heard Zhang Siyuan's words, his face suddenly became bitter: "Mr. Zhang, don't say it." I'm sure I didn't know you could also direct and act yourself, but if I know that one accidentally messes up, that's a big problem. ”

For Zhang Siyuan's boldness, Zeng Fuhu has seen it. This time, Zhang Siyuan is completely gambling on the future of Sohu, and it is easy to say that he won the bet, and if he loses the bet, Sohu will not be finished, at least it will hurt his muscles and bones.

Zhang Siyuan didn't let go of Zeng Fuhu, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zeng, you asked for it on your own initiative, you can't blame me." Your play is not difficult, it is just what should be said and what should be done. Everything is normal, except that you don't throw a tantrum at me. ”

"How can it be considered normal?" Zeng Fuhu was still a little uneasy, and asked cautiously.

Zhang Siyuan didn't expect Zeng Fuhu's psychological quality to be so poor, but thinking about Zeng Fuhu's current experience, although he has also had some experience, he hasn't played so much, so he is relieved.

Zhang Siyuan patiently explained to Zeng Fuhu: "Do what you usually do, don't have any psychological burden." As for the rest, I'll arrange it. ”

Here Zhang Siyuan is instructing Zeng Fuhu on what to do next, and other places are also discussing a large area of negative news about Sohu.

"Mr. Ding, Mr. Ding. Good news, good news. NetEase headquarters, in Ding Sanshi's office, Ding Sanshi's secretary excitedly broke into Ding Sanshi's office.

Ding Sanshi, who was formulating the company's future development plan, was disturbed by the secretary like this, and he didn't care about the good news in the secretary's mouth, and scolded with a calm face: "Didn't I say that no matter who you are here, don't disturb me at this time, and what kind of body is it to be noisy in the office." ”

The secretary was reprimanded by Ding Sanshi, but also calmed down, and hurriedly explained to Ding Sanshi: "Mr. Ding, I found out about the news, and I was so excited that it would be like this." ”

"What news makes you so excited? Sohu is bankrupt or Sina is bankrupt?" Ding Sanshi said a little teasingly.

The usual Ding Sanshi is also kind, and under the secretary's explanation, he knew that he was so excited to hear the news, so he didn't blame the secretary anymore. It's just that he said it as a joke about what he dreamed of. In Ding Sanshi's eyes, the two companies that compete with him the most on the domestic Internet are Sohu and Sina, and only if these two companies have problems is really good news for him.

When the secretary heard Ding Sanshi say this, a smile appeared on his face: "Although it is not as you said, it is almost the same." There won't be a large area of negative news in Sohu this morning, you asked me to find out the news, I just asked the person in charge of the media I am familiar with. The other party told me that the boss of Sohu offended a person with a lot of energy, and as for how much energy he had, he was not qualified to meet people anyway. It's just that when someone at the next level calls him, he has to do things in a hurry. ”

"What you said is true?" Ding Sanshi asked incredulously.
