The reason why a great man is a great man is precisely because his thinking is different from ordinary people, and they can do things that no one else has ever done. It's like Huaxia ***, the countryside surrounds the city, what a simple strategy, but no one put forward it, and it is precisely because he found out that he is a great man.

Lin Fan is looking at the news about Alibaba, just now the sigh is a feeling, in the e-commerce is not yet clear, Ma Yun also led the establishment of Taobao University, to teach his customers how to use e-commerce, this is a little ridiculous, but it is also Ma Yun for Huaxia's e-commerce to bring a different hope, Huaxia's largest and the world's second largest network company created by him.

Looking at these news, Lin Fan is not to grow the morale of others and destroy his prestige, but to know himself and his opponent. The memory of his past life can only give him an approximate result, and only continuous understanding can ensure the realization of his strategy.

Sohu, Wang Xiaochuan has just finished the press conference, and this grand press conference is something he made on purpose, and it is actually influenced by Lin Fan. One of Lin Fan's most praised methods is hype, whether it is the incident of publicizing the safety of mortals and your mother calling you home for dinner, or the news that Lin Fan has made a lot of hype and American celebrities in the United States not long ago in order to raise funds, these all show that Lin Fan is good at this.

So Wang Xiaochuan couldn't help but have a small atmosphere, but he was not Lin Fan after all, and he couldn't make any big incidents. Of course, these are just Wang Xiaochuan's own comfort, in Sohu, he is a famous doer.

At this time, he was about to go to Zhang Chaoyang to report the situation, while Zhang Chaoyang was still there. Zhang Chaoyang is very heroic, and after being rich, he is even more chic and uninhibited, in the past two years, the troika of Sohu, Sina and NetEase has been running hand in hand, and Zhang Chaoyang is also a little complacent, so he climbs the mountain with his star friends from time to time, or eats together. Compared with Lin Fan, who only has a better relationship with Liu Yifei, Zhang Chaoyang is full of friends.

"Mr. Zhang?" Wang Xiaochuan was very careful, and unsurprisingly, Zhang Chaoyang was practicing yoga in loose clothes. As the boss of Sohu, Sohu has its own building, which belongs to Zhang Chaoyang in a huge office with hundreds of square meters of windows, which not only has a bathroom, a lounge, but also a cloakroom.

"How's the launch?"

"We have all the media resources, and the media is very interested in the first Huaxia browser that dares to challenge the Internet Explorer. ”

Zhang Chaoyang still sat still, "How is the other party?"

Wang Xiaochuan naturally knew who the other party was, and the last time Lin Fan fell into the news of a debt crisis, Sohu, as one of the three major portals, did not contribute to the trouble, and there was nothing to say afterwards. Wang Xiaochuan understood that the boss was angry because of that defeat, even though Zhang Chaoyang was calm now.

"Our products are quickly researched and developed after the completion of the input method, and Sogou browser has our exclusive engine acceleration technology, the speed is absolutely no other browser can match, this is our unique competitive advantage, I am confident that our browser occupies the first place in users." ”

Zhang Chaoyang nodded with satisfaction.......

The café at the top of the World Trade Center is now a popular place, but who knows if it will decline in ten years. But here and now is a great place to see the scenery.

Lin Fan tasted his favorite fancy coffee, just like Chu Chu, who he had always loved for a long time. Stir, taste, feel more and more beautiful. The corners of Lin Fan's mouth suddenly pulled a trace of arc, the guest he was waiting for came.

The person who came is not handsome, with good skin, short hair, suits and leather shoes, a typical business talent, this is one of Lin Fan's few rivals in the eyes of the outside world, Wang Xiaochuan.

"Mr. Lin, this is not hospitality, don't you even have time to wait for me to have coffee together?"

"If Mr. Wang's kung fu is as hard as his mouth, I can only retreat. ”

It's a very gunpowder conversation, but the faces of both of them are calm, as if they are talking about irrelevant people. Looking at each other, Wang Xiaochuan didn't mean to speak first.

Lin Fan smiled, "Has Mr. Wang ever heard the story of Han Xin and Wei Chi Hui?" One of these two people broke away from Xiang Yu and became the prince of the Han Kingdom, and the other broke away from Li Jiancheng and became the founding hero of the Tang Dynasty.

Wang Xiaochuan sneered, "Is Mr. Lin going to tell me a story?"

Lin Fan didn't get angry, but read out a resume, "At the age of 18, he won the gold medal in the International Informatics Olympiad, at the age of 21, he participated in the creation of ChinaRen, the largest campus dating website in China, and at the age of 27, he became the youngest vice president of Sohu.

Wang Xiaochuan sighed in his heart, he had been guessing Lin Fan's intention of inviting him before, but he didn't expect that he was here to dig him. It took him six years to get to such a high position, and he wasn't going to give up.

"I'm thinking that it was not a loss at all to lose under Mr. Lin's hands, and I admire Mr. Lin's open-mindedness. ”

The atmosphere between the two suddenly eased, and Lin Fan still said without hurry, "The glory of Sohu as one of the three major portals is being lost, and the former Three Musketeers NetEase will go farther and farther with the support of the game business, so where is the way out for Sohu and Sina?"

Lin Fan is not exaggerating, ten years later, only NetEase is still brilliant, with a market value of 30 billion US dollars, while Sohu is less than 2 billion, of which Sogou's valuation is more than 1 billion, and the pity is that Sogou's largest shareholder has also become Tencent.

"Is Lin always alarmist?"

"I don't want to argue with Mr. Wang, with the advent of the mobile Internet era, the decline of portal users is a fact. Of course, this is just my opinion, assuming that there is really the day I said, where should Mr. Wang go?"

Lin Fan's true Wang Xiaochuan felt it, but Wang Xiaochuan didn't want to express his emotions, "Sohu is in glory!"

"Looking at his words and deeds, you must know better than me what Mr. Zhang looks like now. Skateboarding, climbing Mount Everest, buying a yacht, and mixing in the entertainment industry. The reporters who interviewed him went from the IT Internet to fashion magazines to the entertainment media. I don't think that such a leader can still make a company strong. Speaking of this, Lin Fan still said lightly: "Even if Sohu still has an estimate of one or two billion US dollars? For an Internet company, not making progress is regression and destruction, Mr. Wang, what do you think?"

Wang Xiaochuan was speechless, this was not at all what he expected, he lost the initiative to speak, "Mr. Lin has something to say, right?"

"Do you dare to make a bet with me? At the moment when you take all the lead, my browser may not be online in a month or even two months, but my users can surpass you in half a year, do you dare to make this bet?"

"What's the bet?"

"You won, we are friends, I won you, come to be the president of my business group. ”

"What's the matter, it seems like I'm losing?"

"I don't have the courage to gamble. ”

Wang Xiaochuan's hand on his trouser leg clenched unconsciously, but his face looked very calm, "You guessed wrong, I bet!"

Lin Fan was not pleased, and still had that faint look, "I will invite you for coffee this time, as a reward for winning the bet just now......
