Chapter 205: The Last Day of 2005
Generally speaking, the last few days of the New Year, for ordinary employees is relatively relaxed, the work can be delayed, as long as it is not a matter of burning eyebrows, it can be arranged after the New Year, and the last few days are in the office to count the time and wait for the New Year's holiday.

For the boss, on the contrary, the end of the year is the busiest few days, contacting and maintaining relationships in all aspects, asking for debts and avoiding debts, and striving to finalize as many important affairs as possible for next year before the New Year.
For example, Lao Zhao has almost spent the past few days on non-stop phone calls and dinners, and even Niu Shengli has no news and is busy.
In the 170,000-square-meter commercial center of Zeye Plaza, 28 main stores have been signed, all of which are well-known units in China, including eating, drinking, and playing, clothing, food, housing and transportation.
Among them, "living" and "walking" are not shops, but in the vacant land on the pedestrian street, placed in the middle of the first floor of the indoor pedestrian street, more than 300 meters of the city's pedestrian street, the east entrance 50 meters signed to Jianwu City's largest automobile sales center 'Sunan Automobile City', used to do regular vehicle exhibitions, the west entrance of a large pedestrian street area, free of charge for Shangri-La to do new release, the future Shangri-La Hotel has six floors above the high-end apartment for rent and sale, which also has a piece of Lao Zhao and Ding Lan's pie.
The rest of the merchants are too late to negotiate and review, so they can only be placed after the year.
It is worth mentioning that Wang Qing, the newly appointed marketing manager, actually jumped from Wanda, and the business is very relevant: he previously worked in the marketing team of the first Wanda Plaza, the project department of Wanda Plaza on Chongqing Road in Changchun, as the deputy team leader.
Lao Zhao remembered a very important information wrongly before, and chatted with Wang Qing once to know that although Wanda has taken a few pieces of land to prepare for the development of Wanda Plaza, it has not officially opened. Chongqing Road Wanda Plaza, which was two years earlier than Zeye to get the land, was not officially opened until the middle of 06, not much earlier than Zeye, and the two are likely to open before and after.
Zeye's construction speed is faster than Wanda, and the reason why he is willing to spend money is that the most important thing is that Zeye has adopted the semi-mature Wanda model in the future, while the current real Wanda Plaza is still starting from scratch and exploring the Wanda model.
It is also an urban complex, and the scale of Changchun Wanda Plaza is much smaller than that of Zeye Plaza, with only 60,000 square meters of commercial area, and there is no supporting indoor and outdoor pedestrian streets and high-end hotels, which can only be regarded as a relatively large shopping mall in nature.
After confirming this, Lao Zhao's heart skipped a beat.
This is not a question of catching up with Wanda, in the field of urban complexes, Zeye's goal is to suppress Wanda, or even replace it directly. After the beginning of the year, the general policy must be adjusted, and the progress in all aspects must be accelerated.
On the morning of the 29th of the year, the Internet held a video conference with Tencent and Baidu.
There was no clear topic for the conference, and the main thing was to exchange messages and talk about ideas about the future of the Internet.
The three people who participated in the meeting are the top figures in the current Internet industry, the most accurate grasp of the future trend, and the leaders of the domestic Internet.
Even with a prophet, Zhao Zejun could learn a lot from the other two bulls.
Taobao has sprung up this year, unstoppable, the three people attending the meeting all want to get a piece of the pie, Mr. Li even had an idea before, the three joined forces to buy Alibaba, let Ma Yun be a professional agent, and give them three jobs. It's a pity that the other party has tried to contact the other party a few times, Ma Yun is more shrewd than the hairless monkey, not to mention the acquisition, even the capital of these three is unwilling to accept.
To tell the truth, Tencent and Zelianke's "reputation" in the domestic Internet industry is quite bad, and all the companies that he fancies will either be swallowed by them in the end, at least bite a large piece of meat, or they will be yellow, and it is difficult to keep a living. Even an Internet giant like Sina has a fight with Zelianke, and Sina Blog is still half-dead.
Baidu is not a kind person, it seems to only be a search engine, there is no other business to make money, and there is no shortage of money after listing, a breeze and leisurely style of doing under the South Mountain, but precisely because of this, Baidu has a lot of money and no place to use it, and it has been holding back the bad, and it is strange to see the fat and not bite. It's a big crocodile with vigor lurking under the water's surface.
Ordinary small businesses hope that these three will invest, and the thighs of any of the three will soar, but Taobao, a high-quality corporate unicorn that has taken off, will be careful to beware of the funds of these three companies, so as not to be swallowed up, after all, any of these three is not a simple venture capital company.
"This teacher Ma has not been short of money recently, and he has taken hundreds of millions from Japan. Mr. Li smiled: "We are still one step late, listen to each other's tone, and we will not refinance in a short time." ”
"It's not too late, it's not too late. Zhao Zejun shook his head.
"What new ideas does Mr. Zhao have?" asked Mr. Ma of Tencent.
"Teacher Ma doesn't want money, don't you want anything?" Zhao Zejun said word by word: "Whatever he wants, we will give him." ”
Mr. Ma and Mr. Li looked at each other, "You tell me specifically." ”
Zhao Zejun tapped his fingers on the table: "Next year, the three of us can increase investment in data centers, capital investment is one thing, and then do a special research: customer shopping habits analysis." The data sources are mainly Baidu search, blog China's business blog post visits. After a pause: "What are the specific data sources and how to analyze them, it is still up to our engineers to consider, I just put forward a general direction." ”
are all industry experts, Zhao Zejun got up, and the other two's ideas immediately followed, Mr. Ma said: "This should be feasible, he doesn't want money, we will give him information to help Taobao better grasp customer dynamics." ”
If he is willing to cooperate, he might as well invite Taobao to join the data center. Zhao Zejun smiled: "Alibaba's data is very helpful for analyzing netizens. ”
"By the way, I remember, when Mr. Zhao, you suggested that the data center be placed in Yuhang City, which was aimed at Alibaba, right?" Mr. Li of Baidu suddenly recalled the past when the three companies competed for the location of the data center.
Zhao Zejun smiled and said nothing, thinking that if he really pulled Mr. Ma in, the domestic Internet bureau should have all the roles it should have, and his own situation can be regarded as a success.
One day, the small data center was the core and highest-end roundtable of the mainland Internet.
At the end of the video conference, Mr. Li also mentioned a thing, and the three of them were quite embarrassed.
A college student named Zuckerberg in Silicon Valley, about the same age as Zhao Zejun, started a business in college, made a social networking site called the facebook, developed to nearly 100 million users in two years, and received $50 angel investment in the early days of entrepreneurship, 04 A round of financing of 17 million US dollars, and the next B round of financing is likely to be carried out, the world's major Internet companies and famous venture capitalists are very optimistic about this website, and they are ready to shoot.
Baidu also intends to get involved, but unfortunately, people do not accept mainland enterprises, the reason is very simple, this kind of high-quality Internet star financing, not only money, but also the help of investors in the cause.
Internet companies in the mainland, even if they are registered overseas, have limited real influence overseas, and Facebook cannot enter the mainland.
In the same way, many high-quality foreign projects are currently being watched by domestic Internet companies.
"It's okay not to vote. Zhao Zejun waved his hand: "People can't be too greedy, there is gold everywhere in the country, let's pick up what is in front of us first." ”
……
Eat and drink, at the end of the year, several reports were approved, three new games of Zelianke were launched, plus the previous stealing of vegetables, the game department was set up internally, and the external merger was merged into a Zelianke game platform.
I have to say that it is really easy to make money from web games.
In order to avoid excessively affecting the user experience of Blog China, the three browser games were not actually greatly promoted on Blog China, and they were hung at the bottom of the homepage for less than a week, and several well-known bloggers hung links in their blogs.
The cost is only personnel salaries and server attrition, which is almost negligible relative to revenue.
Web games are the first in China, and this kind of convenient game that does not require high-end hardware configuration and can be played at any time has been welcomed by the majority of office white-collar workers and students once it was launched. According to this trend, with a little publicity in the future, the popularity will be greater, and the game platform will be the most profitable piece of Zelianke in a short period of time.
Plants vs. Zombies is in internal testing, Lao Zhao pondered, this thing is a stand-alone game, and the overall style of Zelianke game platform does not match, and when the hype is hot, sell it and make a lot of money.
Big things have to celebrate the New Year.
On the afternoon of the 29th of the year, several companies except for the Internet left the staff on duty, all the remaining business was suspended, the company's door was closed, and the foreigner Gianna was only a Chinese year, Zhao Zejun gave her a holiday, and sent a thick year-end bonus, and the foreign girl went to Dali to play.
The door seals of several companies were hand-pasted by Zhao Zejun.
After handling all the company's affairs, Andre drove Zhao Zejun to the airport, and saw Zhao Tao and Zhou Ya standing outside the airport with large bags from afar.
Just got back from playing in Singapore.
"Dad, Mom. Zhao Zejun got out of the car and carried his luggage to the car.
"Didn't you say that you have a lot of things, don't come to pick it up, I'll take a taxi over. Zhou Ya wanted to help Zhao Zejun carry it together, and Andre took the initiative to take the luggage.
"He's not bad for a while, no matter how many things there are, he has to celebrate the New Year. Zhao Tao didn't care, he looked at Zhao Zejun with his hands behind his back, and nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, people have lost a little weight and are more energetic." ”
"Can that be spirited, every day is either someone or someone is messing with people. Zhao Zejun said with a hippie smile.
"It's fun to fight with people. Zhao Tao said.
"Son, who is this......" Zhou Ya dragged Zhao Zejun and mouthed at Andre's tall back.
"My bodyguard, Andrei. Zhao Zejun said.
"You still have bodyguards with you, I'm afraid that people will kill you. Zhou Ya smiled.
"You care so much. Zhao Tao glared at his wife and said, "Your son's business is booming now, what's wrong with bringing a bodyguard." Look at those big bosses, the ones who don't follow a group of people behind them, this is identity and face. ”
"Get in the car, by the way, we won't go to the hotel for the Chinese New Year this year, I'll take you to a place with a better environment." Zhao Zejun said.
"Yes, yes, what a waste of money to stay in a hotel every year. ”
Zhao Zejun smiled in his heart, thinking that a building in Shanghebao is much more expensive than a hotel.
