Chapter 121: Lure the snake out of the hole, pave the way and sweep the floor
Zhao Zejun resigned!
Resigned as CEO of Blog China, and only retained the position of Chairman of Blog China. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The intensity of this earthquake in the Internet industry is comparable to the earthquake in Shuzhong!
Blog China is on the rise at a high speed, it can be said that after Baidu, Tencent, Alibaba, the fourth largest Internet emerging enterprises in China, perhaps its financial resources and scale, for the time being, can not be compared with the three major portals, but as a representative of web2.0, blog China from the concept, but can suppress the three major portals.
What's more, Blogging China itself is the leader of start-up Internet companies and a powerful engine for all Internet industries.
Therefore, Zhao Zejun resigned at this time, which seemed to have no reason, and even threw the biggest wealth of the Internet out of the door.
However, anyone who knows the inside story of that meeting can probably guess a thing or two.
Zhao Zejun is gambling and even coercing, using the stall as a threat to coerce other shareholders to agree to his proposal.
Blog China was developed by him, if he doesn't do it, who can afford to shoulder this burden?
The backbone employees of Blog China, including Gianna, who is actually in charge of the specific work, have all been trained by Zhao Zejun, who can suppress this scene in his absence?
Zhao Zejun is in Blog China, including management, only 45% of the shares, he himself is less than 35%, and the shares of several other shareholders combined, but 55%.
Obviously, this is Zhao Zejun blackmailing Blog China to force several other shareholders to make concessions and agree to prepare for listing.
Some people even suspect that the real purpose of Zhao Zejun's move is not to go public.
It's a war within blogging China, a battle between management and major shareholders for the right to speak.
In the development of the enterprise, it is inevitable to introduce shareholders, get a variety of resources to support at the same time, but also disperse the equity of the management of the entrepreneurial team, in the development of Internet enterprises, the entrepreneurial team and shareholders of the open and secret fighting, mutual testing, the right to speak, never stopped.
There are not a few people who hold this kind of speculation, led by Mr. Ma of Alibaba.
Because Mr. Ma himself has been doing this in the past few years, the struggle between Alibaba and Yahoo has always been one of his key tasks.
As for the reason for such speculation, it is also obvious: Zhao Zejun already has the right to vote by proxy, why should he suddenly give up, invite other shareholders to attend the meeting, and even make a final vote? He just wants to take this opportunity to see how much authority he still has in the company.
"If you want to develop, you must first clear the roadblocks, Zhao Zejun has a deep meaning this time. "Mr. Ma has the feeling of being a 'fellow believer'.
……
No matter what other people think, Zhao Zejun was so angry, and several shareholders of Blog China were dumbfounded.
What is investing in blog China for, is to make money. How to make money, of course, is the stable and efficient development of the company.
Indeed, Blog China has laid a good foundation, even if Zhao Zejun is not there, by Gianna and the old team before, there will be no major changes for a while and a half, and everything seems to be still running in an orderly manner.
Zhao Zejun, the soul of the character, suddenly picked a son, how can the company develop?
How long can a soulless body last as strong as it gets?
Even if the inertial body is still functioning, it is only a vegetative person, no longer has any creativity and vitality, and the flower that has left the earth and has been cut off from the rhizome can continue to bloom even in a vase, but it will soon wither.
In the past, Zhao Zejun was the soul of Blogger China and the final decision-maker of all major decisions.
Even if Zhao Zejun is not in the office of Blog China, even if he does not go to the company once in a few months, the real core resolutions of Blog China are decided by himself.
In terms of business, without Zhao Zejun's blog, China can only maintain temporary stability and no further progress.
In people's hearts, the crisis is even greater!
The snake can't do it without a head, and without the CEO's blog China, it won't be long before people will panic and fall into a crisis, and when the time comes, the stable situation in front of them will collapse directly from the inside.
"How long? Mr. Zhao, you should know that on the second day of your resignation, two executives of Blog China submitted their resignation reports one after another, and after a week, at least seven or eight key employees in the department have expressed their intention to resign. ”
Qin Qin, who had always been calm, couldn't maintain his demeanor anymore, and said angrily: "Do you know that there are already several headhunting companies that have set their sights on Blog China, and the next step is to poach people from Blog China on a large scale! Mr. Zhao, this is a company you founded single-handedly, and you are willing to watch it fall apart!?"
Several shareholders came to persuade him, and SoftBank's Kusumoto made a 90-degree bow as soon as he entered the door.
"Mr. Zhao, I hope you will focus on the overall situation! At present, the whole of Asia and the whole world are under the threat of financial turmoil, you should do your duty! Lead Blogger China to tide over this difficulty! Please!"
Yahoo's Jones was like an old friend, invited Zhao Zejun to drink, and said: "Hi, Zhao, I understand your situation very well, the struggle between the board of directors and the CEO is almost an eternal theme at the top, a group of guys who don't understand business, but always like to point fingers." But Zhao, as your friend, I have to say that this time the board is not wrong, your reaction is too violent. Besides, we just don't approve of your idea, and for your overall ability, trust me, the board has never doubted it. ”
But no matter who comes to persuade him, Lao Zhao is a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water.
"Blog China is my child, but now I'm almost fucking not surnamed Zhao, about such a big thing as the listing, my words don't count, five shareholders, four shareholders have joined forces against me?!
Zhao Zejun occasionally has some stunned behavior, which is also well-known in the industry, this time, his stunned blue seems to have another attack, and he will never go back if he does not agree to the conditions.
I'd rather die and the net break.
'The fish is dead and the net is broken', this is the headline of a news media's report on Zhao Zejun's resignation, and it is also the attitude of most media on the Internet towards this incident.
Zhao Zejun looked at the report and couldn't help laughing.
From beginning to end, this thing is not what the outside world imagined at all.
The purpose of directing and acting in this play is to prepare for the dilution of Blog China in the future, that is, not to let people find fault with themselves, and at the same time to let Blog China stand on the last shift, prepare for the next project, and pave the way for the next project.
This can't be blamed on other people's lack of imagination, let alone that Zhao Zejun's resourcefulness is superior to others, just because he is a traverser.
Zhao Zejun knows very well that if he proposes to go public at this time, he will definitely be opposed by other shareholders, and the reason is that they made it clear at the meeting.
His own reasons sound very reasonable, but in the eyes of those who know the industry, it is actually an extremely aggressive behavior, and there is absolutely no need to use it unless it is a matter of life and death.
In the stage of the global financial crisis, forcibly pushing a well-run company to IPO is not only unnecessary, but also will roast the blog China on the fire.
All my previous successes were based on the trend and with the help of the general trend. And this proposal is completely against the trend.
So he's pretty sure he'll be opposed by everyone.
Many things can be logically followed, operationally feasible, and reasonable, at least Zhao Zejun has made efforts, and even at the expense of the board of directors to promote the listing of the blog in China.
After all, there are so many venture capital companies, and not every one of them can make money in the end.
Of course, there is also such a possibility: because Zhao Zejun's past record is too dazzling, his eloquence on the board of directors sounded also very powerful, and it cannot be ruled out that individual shareholders were fooled, and their brains twitched and voted for him in the final voting stage.
It doesn't matter, then prepare for the listing.
This round of IPO will not be restarted until about a year, and when the time comes, whether it can be listed or not, if it is really listed, Zhao Zejun also has an explanation to shareholders.
You can't just let Lao Tzu develop other projects just because the blog is listed. When the performance of the blog is not good, it is a problem of the market and the times, and he can't be blamed on Lao Zhao.
As expected, in the final vote, Zhao Zejun was satisfied with being scolded by his own people.
It doesn't mean that there must be no conflict between one's own people, and if the conflict arises because of different ideas, it will not be criticized too much.
As for resigning from the position of CEO, Zhao Zejun thought of it temporarily.
This is his real 'stroke of genius', a flash of inspiration.
What's after blogging?
Obviously, it's Weibo.
In real history, the founders of Weibo were not Zelianke and Zhao Zejun.
In other words, Zhao Zejun has a prophet, and if he wants to do Weibo, it does not represent the world, and no one else will think of going with him.
Lao Zhao definitely didn't want someone to have the same idea when he was doing Weibo and come to grab this cup of soup with him.
He resigned as CEO to see if anyone was interested in a similar project or even had ambitions for a blog.
If there is such a person, he will definitely take advantage of the discord between him and the board of directors to jump out and make trouble, because Weibo is an upgraded version of blogging, and people who are ambitious about Weibo will also have ambitions for Weibo.
And those who dare to jump out at this time must also have the ability to compete with Zelianke.
Take advantage of the absence of Weibo to lure out the biggest competitors in the future.
If you don't...... Even Zhao Zejun won't believe this, the plate of online novel reading is just a small corner of the entire Internet, and there are so many large and small companies in later generations, and there have been three-legged juxtapositions.
As for blogs, online communication communities, this is a super plate for the entire Internet.
If you don't want to have children, you can't trap wolves, Zhao Zejun threw out the fattest and fat child on the Internet, just to see if there are any wolves to eat.
Yes, I beat the wolf easily, saving myself from Weibo that would affect my future;
It's no better, there's no real loss, maybe you can get the blog China listed, although the mosquito is small, it has meat anyway.
