"Mr. Bai, regarding the strategic cooperative relationship between Sina and Zhao Zejun, you don't have to worry too much. We didn't take the initiative to attack Zelianko, now he doesn't want to do it. Moreover, strategic cooperation is not a ban on peer competition, even if he is still blogging, we can do it. We can't say that we can't do what our strategic partners are involved in. ”

Sina CEO Mr. Cao first used some words to dispel Mr. Bai's concerns, and then said: "If you have any ideas, you can just say it." Internally, there is nothing to say. ”

There are two channels for the content of the Chinese shareholders' meeting to leak the blog, one is that Zhao Zejun deliberately let it go;

The other is Sina's president Bai, who has always been very kind, who doesn't seem to want to offend anyone at the meeting, and helps Zhao Zejun speak.

Of course, Mr. Bai also voted against Zhao Zejun in the end.

The largest and most important project of the social business department managed by Mr. Bai in the past was the Sina blog. After Sina Blog was sold to Blog China, although Mr. Bai's business department started several other projects, the impact was far less than that of the blog, and the status of the business department and himself in the company was not as good as before.

This meeting, let Mr. Bai instinctively feel that it seemed to be an opportunity.

After the meeting, Mr. Bai reported the meeting to Mr. Cao of Sina for the first time.

His idea and Mr. Cao hit it off.

The three major portals, each with their own strengths, want to survive and grow in the new era, especially in the era of web2.0, Sina has no advantages, must have its own fist products.

When Zhao Zejun was there, there was a head-on battlefield competition, and Sina Blog was not a Chinese opponent of blogging at all.

This time, Zhao Zejun wanted to play a retreat as advance, but Sina smelled the opportunity.

The trick is not so fun, there is only one step between showing your face and showing your eyes, and in operation, if there is a problem in one link, it may lead to a total loss, and under the torrent, it is further difficult to climb to the sky, take a step back, and want to come back, it may not be so easy.

"The current situation is that Zhao Zejun is still the chairman of Zelianke and Blog China, and theoretically, he can hold a board meeting, and the board of directors has the power to appoint a CEO, and the CEO is just a wage earner. This is probably Zhao Zejun's greatest confidence to dare to take a step back. Mr. Bai said.

"As far as I know, although Zhao Zejun has always been the CEO of Blog China, his assistant Gianna is in charge of the specific business of Blog China. Gianna is the invisible CEO. Mr. Cao said.

"It doesn't matter. Mr. Bai thought for a while and said, "After all, Gianna's power comes from the nominal CEO Zhao Zejun, and if the chairman is not also the CEO or president, he cannot directly manipulate and manage the actual business of the company." So if the new CEO doesn't delegate it, Gianna won't be able to actually manage Blog China as she did before. ”

"Well, yes, the so-called old team is also a truth. Mr. Cao nodded: "However, how can we ensure that other shareholders can support Sina to take charge of Blog China?"

Among the shareholders, CICC and Zhao Zejun have the best relationship, and although Yahoo has no domestic business, it still has a certain competitive relationship with Sina in the open sea. As for SoftBank, it has always been neutral.

The key is that Zhao Zejun's previous achievements have proved his ability, venture capital investment, sometimes invest in 'people', not just companies.

Zhao Zejun has 45% of the equity on hand, and the remaining 55% is scattered among the four shareholders. Although we are the smallest shareholder, like CICC, only 5%, we are in the most advantageous position relative to other shareholders. ”

"The major shareholder SoftBank, a pure venture capitalist, is a Japanese institution, and their goal is to invest in appreciation, not to gain control of the company, in fact, the government will probably not allow SoftBank to manage Blog China," Bai said. CICC is similar, although it has a national background, but they are also venture capitalists and will not directly participate in the management of blog China. Then don't mention Yahoo, even the business in the mainland has been acquired by Alibaba, how can it come to troubled waters? Among the shareholders, only we are Sina, whose main business is in China, is a veteran Internet enterprise, and once had the second largest blog, and has sufficient management experience, so it can be said that Zhao Zejun is the most suitable for managing blogs. Therefore, once Zhao Zejun, the most suitable candidate, leaves, then among the remaining shareholders, the most qualified to express their opinions on the position of CEO is Sina. ”

After a pause, he continued: "As for convincing shareholders, I don't think it's difficult. Now it's not that we are driving Zhao Zejun away, but that he himself is quitting, and if he persuades him, he won't come back.

What do shareholders care about most? It is the company's performance and the company's stability. Although Sina is not as good as Zhao Zejun on the blog, now that Zhao Zejun has voluntarily resigned, Blog China has fallen into chaos, which is the most intolerable for shareholders. Therefore, I am very confident that I can convince shareholders to support Sina to send someone to become the CEO of Blog China. ”

After all, Zhao Zejun has 45% of the shares in hand, and he can hold a board meeting at any time to exert influence on the company's work. Even if our people become CEOs, they will inevitably be hindered by him in their future work. Mr. Cao said.

"Mr. Cao, the CEO is the core figure of the company, and the board of directors will not interfere with his work at will. Speaking of this, Mr. Bai smiled a little wryly.

Sina's situation is too complicated, and Mr. Cao has been subject to a lot of interference from the board of directors in his work.

But blogging China is different, there are few shareholders, even fewer shareholders who are really in charge, and they are all large and experienced institutions.

If Zhao Zejun only fights for power and profit for personal reasons, and has no legitimate reason to interfere in the CEO's work, the board of directors will not be able to pass this hurdle, after all, he only has 45% of the shares.

Mr. Bai and Mr. Cao discussed for several hours, and finally came to a conclusion.

Theoretically, it is feasible for Sina to come forward and arrange someone to replace Zhao Zejun as the new CEO, although it is difficult, but it is indeed feasible.

Of course, becoming a CEO is not the ultimate goal, making Blog China serve Sina, and even eventually becoming a subsidiary of Sina, this is the goal.

Mr. Cao walked back and forth in the office with his hands behind his back, muttering for a long time.

"Lao Bai, if you really do this, have you thought about the consequences?"

Mr. Cao stopped and asked Mr. Bai: "Once successful, Sina will immediately have the most promising business, and it will even become the company's core industry in the next ten years." But whether it is failure or success, have you thought about Zhao Zejun's own reaction? Although he is young, he is by no means a good stubble, he takes retreat as advance, but someone forces him to really retreat, and also takes away his core Internet business, what kind of counterattack will he carry out?"

Mr. Bai thought for a while and said: "Therefore, the person who sits in the position of future CEO will be the focus of conflict between the two sides, this person must be proficient in the blog business, and he can also resist the pressure of Zhao Zejun." At least someone who is willing to carry Zhao Zejun. ”

Mr. Cao smiled helplessly: "Yes, this kind of person is too difficult to find." ”

"Mr. Cao, I have a very suitable candidate. In terms of business proficiency, this person may not be under Zhao Zejun, and Zhao Zejun once robbed this person's most important career, he must be willing to come forward and compete with Zhao Zejun. Mr. Bai said.

"You mean Fang Xing?" Mr. Cao suddenly thought of this person, the former father of blogs, after the blog founded by Zhao Zejun was strongly crushed by Zhao Zejun's blog China, he invested in Sina again, and ambitiously wanted to use Sina Blog to compete with Blog China, but in the end, Sina Blog was acquired by Blog China and ended in gloom.

"It's him!" Mr. Bai nodded: "As far as I know, after Sina Blog was acquired, he deliberately wanted to dig Fang Xing in the past, but Fang Xing refused without thinking about it." If he goes directly to Blog China this time, I think he will be happy. ”

"Is he still in the country?"

"In. Mr. Cao said the name of a company.

"You go and talk to him right away, and if you can agree with him, I'll be in charge of proposing to Sina and coming forward to talk to a few of the other shareholders of Blog China. Mr. Cao said.

……

……

"Qin Qin, for such a big matter, you are not ready to talk to Zhao Zejun?"

Qiao Xinyun looked at Qin Qin in surprise, as if she was looking at an idiot woman.

Mr. Cao, the CEO of Sina, secretly contacted several major shareholders of Blog China, and proposed that Sina would recommend a CEO to 'temporarily' take over the position left by Zhao Zejun to ensure the normal operation of Blog China.

On CICC's side, the contact person is Qin Qin.

"Work is work, life is life. Qin Qin shook his head.

"That's why I said, you're really smart, you're a big fool! You always say that you separate your life from your work, but you don't separate at all. Qiao Xinyun rolled her eyes.

"How do you say that? You also work in an investment bank, would you make a wrong decision for personal gain because of your personal relationship? Since Zhao Zejun is picking, and we don't agree with Blog China's preparations for listing under the current circumstances, we must find a successor as soon as possible. What's more, Zhao Zejun and I have nothing to do with each other. Qin Qin asked.

"You don't understand your responsibilities in the first place. For the benefit of the investment bank, agree to Sina's proposal, this is one thing, it's your job, it's also your work ethic, there's nothing wrong with it, if it were me, I would also agree with Sina's proposal, blogging China can't be messed up. But that doesn't mean you can't tell Zhao Zejun? Let's not talk about favors or anything, he is also a major shareholder, and now everyone else knows, but he is in the dark, is it fair to him? Even from a work point of view, you should have informed him, instead of suddenly making trouble at the next board meeting. Qiao Xinyun said.

Qin Qin's eyes drooped slightly, and he didn't speak.

"Actually, you just feel that if you take the initiative to inform Zhao Zejun, it seems that you are currying favor with him, you, the eldest lady, feel uncomfortable in your heart and can't pull this face. That's why I said, you don't really separate work and life at all, but bring the emotions of life to work. ”

Qiao Xinyun shook his head and sighed faintly: "Qin Qin, you are just too strong. Even if Zhao Zejun is just an ordinary friend, what is there to notify him? ”

"Are you going to tell him?" Qin Qin raised his head suddenly.

"Of course!" Qiao Xinyun said: "It's not a lover, it's also a friend, it's not a friend, at least it's me and Xinlong's life-saving benefactor, and it's an important partner of the Green Country." Now that I know, of course I'll tell him. ”
