Chapter 45: What should come is always coming

After getting some side information from Mu Zimei, Gianna was responsible for the daily operation and management of Blog China in a short period of time, and at the same time did a detailed market research for future competitors. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

A thick stack of twelve sheets of A4 printer paper.

Zhao Zejun was slightly surprised.

Another person who receives this kind of news and reports to himself, that is, he can make it clear in a few words, even if he reports to the leader at the lower level, it is impossible to make a thick professional report.

I have to say that foreigners do things with a clear eye, and this attitude alone impresses Zhao Zejun.

More than a dozen pages of paper reported that it was not long, and it was not short, Gianna sat patiently in the office and waited, the office was very quiet, and occasionally the sound of Zhao Zejun turning the report paper sounded.

The main content of this report is to analyze the current situation of Sina and the Internet in combination with various factors, and determine which one may eventually become a competitor in the future.

Although Zhao Zejun has a prophet, even if he doesn't need to investigate, he clearly knows that his future opponent must be Sina, but he still read the report carefully.

The report not only contains the final conclusion, but also a lot of information about Sina NetEase, which Zhao Zejun, a prophet, cannot know in detail. In addition, Zhao Zejun can also learn more about Gianna's work level and ability through the report.

Analyze NetEase first.

NetEase's biggest feature, or advantage, is that it is rich!

Since last year, the stock has skyrocketed in the NASDAQ market, and NetEase has become the richest Internet company in China.

If NetEase goes all out to enter the blog market, it will be a serious challenge for blogging China, and it can even be said that it will be a disaster.

With the current amount of NetEase's capital reserves, hundreds of millions of dollars will be smashed, and no Internet company can withstand it. Even if Baidu, Tencent, and Zelianke join forces, the best result is to maintain the blog China undefeated and divide the world.

However, combined with a series of personnel adjustments, commercial projects and other factors in the past six months, Gianna analyzed that NetEase's next business focus should be large-scale Internet games.

Based on this alone, Zhao Zejun felt that Gianna was a talent. He predicted the future, relying on the prophets, but Gianna was able to speculate about the future based on the details of the current data.

In fact, NetEase acted as an agent for large-scale online games in the second half of 04, and since then it has tasted the sweetness of online games, and has gone further and further on this road.

Until 2016, NetEase's operating income of more than 5 billion US dollars, more than 40 billion, all came from online games.

The former portal still has the sheep's head of the portal, but behind the scenes, it has bought the dog meat of online games and has become the overlord of large-scale domestic online games in the actual sense.

The analysis of Sina is also on point.

At present, Sina, which is also the dominant position of the domestic Internet and one of the three major gateways, is actually not as glamorous as it seems on the surface.

The stock is tepid, the business is mediocre, and Sina Mail, which has spent a lot of effort to promote, has not achieved the expected results because of the joint efforts of Yahoo and NetEase. There are frequent changes in senior personnel, there is no strong leadership, and people's hearts are unstable.

The number of registrants and traffic of the portal have entered a bottleneck period.

Sina urgently needs to develop a new business with long-term potential, maintain its hegemony, create new profit growth points, and stabilize people's hearts.

From the analysis of the personal style and experience of the company's leadership, Sina is also more likely to get involved in Web 2.0.

NetEase's Ding Lei was born in an ordinary family, and after graduation, he started from the grassroots business district, and is more inclined to chase direct profits, to put it bluntly, he will do whatever he does to make more money and make money faster;

"The analysis is very good, if Sina really starts a blog, how do you think we should deal with it?" asked Zhao Zejun.

"I think we should think more from each other's point of view. Gianna didn't seem to be in a very good mood today, and said expressionlessly: "If I were the person in charge of Sina, I would think that under the previous series of layouts of Zelianke, the start of Sina Blog has lagged behind a lot, how can I compete with the other party?"

After speaking, he asked and answered himself: "In terms of traffic, Zelianke started early, supported by Baidu and Tencent, and Sina, although it started late, also has a backbone business: the portal carries out a large number of drainage, which can rely on time and steadily pursue; However, Zelianke has obvious advantages, the mainland's official stability, even if there are already a number of official blogs set up in Zelianke, as long as Zelianke does not make too many mistakes, it will be difficult for Sina to make achievements, but I guess they will still make some moves; get rid of these two pieces and leave them for them, there is not much room for them to attract readers and blogs......"

Zhao Zejun nodded slightly while listening to Gianna's analysis, it looked like a complicated mess, and after using the elimination method, peeling off the cocoon, and crumpling all the factors in front of him, his thoughts gradually became clear.

"Boss, there's something I have to warn you about. Gianna finally said: "Sina has no money, it is relative to NetEase, which got rich, but compared with Zelianke, and even compared with the entire Zhongze Investment Group, Sina's financial resources are not weak, strictly speaking, it is richer than us." At present, the profits of Zeyue, Zejian, and Zelianke are used to support and support daily operations, of course, it is not a problem, but we should avoid starting a cash-burning model with Sina. The data center is the project that is really worth burning money......"

Saying that, Gianna was probably a little thirsty, and took a sip of a cup of hot water, moistened her throat, and then continued: "The data center project is indeed very expensive, and the investment of 12 million in the early three has all been budgeted, and it is expected that by the second half of 04, additional investment will be required." ”

"How much do you estimate the second investment?" asked Zhao Zejun.

"If the data center goes well in the early stages, the second investment will surge, which is impossible to predict now, but it should be in the tens of millions. ”

"Okay, I've got it. You can get busy. Zhao Zejun nodded.

When Gianna walked to the door, Zhao Zejun suddenly thought of something, raised his head and said, "Are you sick?"

"Huh?" Gianna was slightly stunned, then nodded.

"Take a break for two days. Zhao Zejun put the report in a drawer and said casually: "I was so busy at the end of last year that I forgot to send you, a foreigner, a Christmas card, and waited until the Chinese New Year to invite you to eat dumplings." ”

Gianna finally laughed: "Okay, thank you, boss. ”

……

After New Year's Day, there is the Spring Festival, and all companies are carrying out the New Year's Eve Point, and will not expand for the time being, and Tianda's business will wait until the end of the New Year.

Calculate the year-end bonus, summarize the year's work, arrange the New Year's party, prepare to change jobs, collect and repay debts...... The accounts of Internet companies are relatively clear, arrears and receivables are almost non-existent, and the atmosphere is relatively peaceful.

Zejian Company is just the opposite, and the main work at the end of the year is two things: debt collection and money. The arrears of the project money must be recovered, and the labor fees owed to the migrant contractor must be paid on time before the Chinese New Year, so that the family can celebrate the New Year.

Zhao Zejun took the time to go back to Yijiang City before the year.

didn't say hello, and drove directly to the door of the two-story small building of Zejian Company.

At the entrance of the small building, there were rows of various cars parked on the open space where Huayang Group originally parked its heavy trucks.

When Zhao Zejun left Yijiang City, Zejian's 'fleet' only had two heavy trucks, one broke bread, and over the course of a year, the fleet had been quite large-scale, with a total of 14 trucks and commercial vehicles of all kinds, lined up in a row, which looked quite large-scale, especially the first few heavy trucks, which were murderous and majestic.

Jiang Xuan inherited Lao Zhao's style very well: if you can spend no money, you don't spend money, and if you can spend less, you can spend less, these cars are all second-hand cars bought at a low price or the other party pays off debts.

There are two rows of sheds facing each other outside the small building, which looks like a talent recruitment market, there are a lot of people sitting in the shed, and there is actually hot water supply, and everyone is holding a water cup to warm their hands in winter.

At the gate of the small building, there were two security guards standing with their heads held high.

"Next, Kong Ergou ......" In the radio outside the small building, a somewhat familiar voice sounded.

"Coming, coming......" rushed out of the shed a guy in a military coat.

Zhao Zejun walked to the shed with the soldiers, and casually asked a person who looked like a contract foreman: "What's going on?

"Who are you?" asked the foreman with a roll of his eyes.

Zhao Zejun handed him a cigarette and said with a smile: "I'll get the money." ”

The man took the cigarette, looked at the sign, didn't pin it to his ear, and said, "Oh, oh, we all are." Zejian made a decision with us, and settled the money in the past three days, isn't it afraid that there will be too many people, so he built a shed, let us wait here, and go in one by one to settle the bill and receive the money. ”

"Zejian didn't owe you any money, did he?" asked Zhao Zejun.

"Why don't you owe?" someone on the side interjected, and looked at Zhao Zejun curiously, and said: "You are a layman when you hear this, the project money is not all owed, and it will be settled together at the end of the year or after the project is completed, Zejian is not bad, when to finish, when, it has never been delayed." ”

"That's it, I heard that Zejian's real boss is always doing the Internet, and his business is big, and he is not short of these little money. "Someone said.

"What the hell are you doing? Ask this and that?" Someone looked at Zhao Zejun's tender face and quipped: "Do you want to apply for a job, go to Zejian to work, and deliberately trick us here?"

"Hehe......" Zhao Zejun smiled.

Just as he was about to enter the company, Jiang Xuan, who was far away, strode over from the second floor with Liang Shi.

When several people in the shed saw Jiang Xuan, they all stood up and greeted them with a smiling face: "Hey, Mr. Jiang is good, Mr. Liang is good." ”

"Good. Jiang Xuan nodded casually and said to Zhao Zejun: "You came just in time, go up and look at the year-end report, and I have something to report to you." ”

"Okay, go in and say. ”

Zhao Zejun walked into the small building surrounded by Jiang Xuan and Liang Shiyi, one left and one right.

In the shed, a group of contract foremen and workers looked at each other, and the one who had just made fun of Zhao Zejun was stunned for a long time, "Oh mom, he won't be Zejian's big boss, right?"
