Chapter 334: Give Up

Of course, Zhang Siyuan, who was far away in Yanjing, didn't know what happened in Haining People's Park, and yesterday afternoon, after Lin Yi's subordinates summarized the situation in the courtyard, Zhang Siyuan and Zhou Zixuan followed Lin Yi to have a meal outside.

Because Zhou Zixuan was there, they separated after eating and did not have any more activities. At this time, Zhang Siyuan was already sitting in Sohu's office.

Zeng Fuhu, who was sitting opposite Zhang Siyuan, was looking at Zhang Siyuan with a smile on his face. He arrived in Yanjing yesterday, but he was jet lag, and he knew that Zhang Siyuan was playing with his girlfriend in Yanjing, so naturally he didn't bother Zhang Siyuan.

Zhang Siyuan looked at Zeng Fuhu in front of him, and asked with a smile: "Mr. Zeng, why don't you rest for a few days?"

"Hey, there are so many things in the company, how can I put it down. After a while, people from Intel and Microsoft will come over to sign a share transfer contract, and if I don't come, they won't know who to turn to. Rest, just go out for a vacation after this time. Anyway, they can handle other things well, and the one I'm responsible for can handle as long as there is a computer that can be connected to the Internet. ”

After Sohu went public, because of the good stock market environment, Sohu's stock price soared, and now Sohu's market value has reached 10 billion. Although Zeng Fuhu also thought it was incredible, he didn't think much about it. Zeng Fuhu has not studied stocks, but he also knows that the stock prices of global Internet concept stocks are very high, so naturally there will be no doubts.

Zhang Siyuan heard Zeng Fuhu say this, smiled and didn't say anything. This sick stock market will soon enter an explosive period, and all Internet concept stocks will enter a cold winter period. At that time, it was also the beginning of one of his plans.

Zeng Fuhu saw that Zhang Siyuan didn't speak, and asked hesitantly: "Mr. Zhang, if we transfer our shares at the price I negotiated with Intel and Microsoft, will we lose too much?"

The $21 per share that was negotiated before is now much higher, and if they sell it at the original price, they will lose a lot.

Zhang Siyuan waved his hand: "Mr. Zeng, temporary hexagram change is a taboo in the shopping mall. It's not much more, and there's no need to offend the two industry bigwigs. They also bought our shares to make money, let them make some money, it's good to be friends, there is no need to make enemies with them. ”

Under Zhang Siyuan's reminder, Zeng Fuhu also thought about what level Intel and Microsoft belong to in the industry. If Sohu offends these two giants, I don't know what will become of it in the future.

The two of them have not been entangled in the issue of the company's market value, for Zhang Siyuan, who knows the history, the market value of 10 billion yuan will soon shrink and be worthless. When the time comes, it will still be necessary to return to the status quo ante, and there is nothing worth paying attention to at all. Anyway, the remaining fifty-one percent of the shares in his hand will definitely not be sold, and the other ups and downs will have no effect on him at all.

Zeng Fuhu is a private person who doesn't need to care about this thing at all, after all, the shares in his hand will not belong to him after signing the contract with the people of Intel. No matter how high the value of the stock is, it will have no effect on him.

The two of them quickly talked about other things, and there are many things about Sohu now. Chinaren, which was discussed at Sohu last time, has just started to get started, and some other related projects are also being launched, which is why Zeng Fuhu does not dare to waste too much time resting at home.

Zhang Siyuan also knew through Zeng Fuhu's description that Chen Zhouyi and Yang Ning had been in Sohu recently. Although it didn't take long, Zeng Fuhu really felt that these two people seemed to be really working in Sohu now. This is a good thing for Zhang Siyuan.

After all, if Chen Zhouyi really leaves, even if Chinaren can do it by then, there will be a lot of trouble. A series of things such as market competition, even if you win in the end, it will take a lot of energy.

At the end of the chat, Zhang Siyuan suddenly proposed to change the name of Chinaren. This surprised Zeng Fuhu, Zeng Fuhu didn't expect Zhang Siyuan to have such an idea. If this is the case, it is equivalent to completely washing the mark of Chen Zhouyi on Chinaren's body.

Zeng Fuhu did not object, nor did he agree, but said that he had to think about it. After all, Chen Zhouyi is still very serious about working in the company now, and if he changes his name to Chinaren, it won't make him think too much. At that time, maybe there will be something that Zhang Siyuan was worried about at the beginning, and then Zhang Siyuan's previous efforts will be in vain.

Regarding the idea of changing the name, Zhang Siyuan feels that the website of Chinaren is still a bit awkward. If you want people to be familiar with it, it's better to use a simple name. As for the ones that Zeng Fuhu thought of, of course he thought of them. No, as soon as Zeng Fuhu walked out of his office, he called Chen Zhouyi and asked Chen Zhouyi to come to his office.

Chen Zhouyi was a little surprised that Zhang Siyuan suddenly called him to the office. Zhang Siyuan has already explained what should have been explained before. It stands to reason that Sohu has just been successfully listed, and Zhang Siyuan should be busy with other things at this time, so it is impossible to find him. As soon as Chen Zhou, who was puzzled, arrived at Zhang Siyuan's office, he sat opposite Zhang Siyuan and did not speak, waiting for Zhang Siyuan to speak first.

Zhang Siyuan looked at the expressionless Chen Zhouyi sitting opposite him, and said to Chen Zhouyi with a smile: "Mr. Chen, I came to you today, I want to discuss something with you." ”

"Mr. Zhang, you said. ”

Zhang Siyuan didn't care what Chen Zhouyi was thinking about at this moment, but said directly: "I want to give up Chinaren and replace Chinaren with a brand new name." After finishing speaking, Zhang Siyuan observed Chen Zhouyi's expression.

Chen Zhou's expression changed after hearing Zhang Siyuan's words, and then he regained his composure: "I obey the company's decision." ”

Chen Zhouyi's words made Zhang Siyuan feel in his heart that it was really difficult to fight with these old foxes. If you are a little impulsive, you will definitely oppose it directly, and maybe you will make a lot of noise. What does it mean to give up Chinaren Chen Zhouyi knew very well in his heart, but he persuaded all the resolutions from the company, so that people couldn't guess what he would think in his heart.

It seems that he also ordered some fierce medicine to treat Chen Zhouyi, Zhang Siyuan asked Chen Zhouyi, "Mr. Chen, don't you want to know why?"

"The company must have a better idea to do this, and I believe in everything the company has done. Chen Zhouyi's answer was perfect, but he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.

Zhang Siyuan smiled when he saw Chen Zhouyi being so official: "I don't think the name Chinaren can fully explain the original intention of us to make this platform in the first place, after all, we want to be a global social networking site." If it's just called Chinaren, then what do people in other countries think, they will just abandon our social platform and switch to other platforms. I thought of a few names and called Mr. Chen over, mainly to ask Mr. Chen to help refer to what our new name is. ”

is willing to explain so much, because Zhang Siyuan wants to dispel Chen Zhouyi's concerns. Zeng Fuhu thought a little too much, now that Chen Zhouyi has basically stayed in Sohu with peace of mind, there is no need for Zhang Siyuan to go to aging, which will only force Chen Zhouyi away. Zhang Siyuan really decided to change his name for this project, after all, the name Chinaren is really too one-sided.

"Mr. Zhang, you said. Chen Zhouyi said respectfully.

For Chen Zhouyi, he didn't expect Zhang Siyuan to come to him for this matter. He was a little uncomfortable, after all, he was the founder of Chinaren, and to give up on Chinaren now would mean a denial of him. He admits that many of his ideas are not as good as Zhang Siyuan, and he can accept the explanation given by Zhang Siyuan, but he still wants to see what Zhang Siyuan wants to do.

Zhang Siyuan picked up an A4 piece of paper from the table and handed it to Chen Zhouyi: "Which of the three names do you think is good?"

The three names on the A4 paper were decided by Zhang Siyuan after thinking about it for a long time. Although Zhang Siyuan especially wants to specify the name directly, it would be a bit too hegemonic. Zhang Siyuan gave Chen Zhouyi the right to choose the name of the new project, just to compensate Chen Zhouyi.

After all, Chen Zhouyi is the founder of Chinaren, and there are some things that still have to take care of Chen Zhouyi's ideas. And which name Chen Zhouyi chooses represents Zhang Siyuan's attitude towards him in the future.

The concept of the new project has been explained by Zhang Siyuan to Chen Zhouyi. To be honest, among those three names, Zhang Siyuan really wanted to choose according to the original history, but after thinking about it, he still used it to test whether Chen Zhouyi really worked for Sohu.

Chen Zhouyi stared at the name on the A4 paper for a while, and then looked up at Zhang Siyuan as if he had made a decision: "Mr. Zhang, I choose the name Renren." ”

"Oh, tell me what you think. Zhang Siyuan didn't have any expression, but asked Chen Zhouyi to talk about the reason why he chose everyone.

Chen Zhouyi was silent for two minutes, and then said: "The concept of our new project is to become a successful social networking site. It is not limited to Chinese social interaction like Chinaren, but faces the whole world. The word "everyone" includes everyone. It doesn't just refer to the students we thought at the beginning, the students' words are too one-sided. We want people from all professions to be able to interact on our website. Many people will be strangers, and it is not appropriate to use the circle of friends, and the alumni record is too one-sided and inappropriate. Everyone was able to perfectly illustrate the concept of our new project, so I chose everyone. ”

"It's similar to what I thought, Mr. Chen deserves to be Mr. Chen. So Mr. Chen, do you think everyone can become the world's largest social networking site under your leadership?" asked Zhang Siyuan with a smile.

It can be said that Zhang Siyuan is testing Chen Zhouyi today. He wanted to see Chen Zhouyi's thoughts and attitudes to prevent any accidents. After all, this project is very important to Zhang Siyuan in the future, and Zhang Siyuan doesn't want any problems.

Chen Zhouyi's expression at this time was not static, but looked at Zhang Siyuan playfully: "Then it depends on how much Mr. Zhang believes me." ”

Regarding Zhang Siyuan's temptation, Chen Zhou was clear in his heart. At this time, he didn't want to grind with Zhang Siyuan anymore, Zhang Siyuan's concept was too much beyond him. It can be said that since the last time Zhang Siyuan threw the planning plan of the new project in front of him, he was very convinced by Zhang Siyuan. It's just that he can see Zhang Siyuan's estimation of him, so he doesn't want to say anything.

Zhang Siyuan didn't expect Chen Zhou to suddenly say this sentence, which is equivalent to picking out the thoughts between the two people. Zhang Siyuan was also thinking about how to answer Chen Zhouyi's question at this time, which was not easy to answer. If the answer is good, there should be no more gap between Chen Zhouyi and him, if the answer is not good, then Chen Zhouyi will leave Sohu nine times out of ten.

After being quiet in the office for a few minutes, Zhang Siyuan looked at Chen Zhouyi with a playful smile and said in a deep voice: "I will believe as much as you deserve to believe." Now that you've made it clear, let's not talk about the falsehoods. I think the new project is a project that can amaze the world. With your ability, if you do it well, you will definitely be able to make everyone remember your name. But ......"

"However, you are afraid that I will not be able to do my work. Mr. Zhang, to be honest, I was not convinced by Sohu's acquisition of Chinaren. It's just that I also discovered the limitations of Chinaren at the beginning, and I wanted to redevelop it, but I didn't have the funds. I've always felt that I have the most ideas for social networking sites. Sohu wants to step into this market, and I scoff. It's just that I didn't expect to see your plan book later, and I found that I was far worse than you. At the very least, I think I should stay in Sohu until my ability surpasses yours. Before Zhang Siyuan could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Chen Zhouyi.

Chen Zhouyi's words caught Zhang Siyuan by surprise. Zhang Siyuan didn't expect Chen Zhouyi to be so straightforward, so straightforward that Zhang Siyuan didn't doubt Chen Zhouyi's thoughts, and there was no need to think about it.

looked at Chen Zhou quietly for a few minutes, and Chen Zhouyi looked at Zhang Siyuan without any heart. In the end, Zhang Siyuan said: "Since Mr. Chen said so, then I look forward to your performance." As for what you say about surpassing me, I think you will have no hope for at least twenty years. If you can't catch up with me in 20 years, then you will probably have to work for me for the rest of your life. ”

"It's okay, the Venerable One, you are more capable than me, and I should let you call you. Don't worry, I'll do a good job with the new project. At that time, it will definitely be able to perfectly connect with the QQ of Times Technology, and no other resources will be wasted. Chen Zhouyi stood up as he spoke, and said as he walked out.

Zhang Siyuan was taken aback when he heard Chen Zhouyi's words. He didn't expect Chen Zhouyi to see his thoughts, but after being surprised, Zhang Siyuan didn't think about anything more.

Times Technology and Sohu are destined to merge, and this merger will not be too late. If it weren't for the complexity of Sohu's shares, Zhang Siyuan might have asked Sohu to stop the listing plan and merge directly with Times Technology.
