Chapter 109: Chinoiserie

There is only one proposal at the Sina Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders, that is, the resolution to remove Wang Yan and appoint and remove Wang Zhidong as CEO.

As a general meeting of shareholders, whether it is positive or negative, they will explain their views first when the meeting is held.

In fact, before the media, the representatives of the two sides have already made their views very clear. It's just that this time the shareholders' meeting still has to go through the procedures. However, just after Wang Zhidong explained his point of view. Wang Zhidong said again, "I think maybe I can't express more content alone, so I also invited another friend." Although this friend has a very small stake in Sina, he is very attentive to our Sina. And, at this shareholders' meeting, this friend also wanted to say a few words to all Sina investors. ”

"Hmph, this guy even hired a helper."

Duan Yongji and the others sneered.

However, he believes that even if Wang Zhidong hires a helper, it will be useless. There are so many retail investors in the United States, even if he is the founder of Sina, it is impossible for him to get all the retail investors to vote for them. Only, when they think so in their hearts. A man who made everyone scream suddenly appeared from the other side.

"This, this, who is this!!"

When everyone looked at this somewhat unfamiliar, but extremely familiar person, many people suddenly boiled.

"Oh my God, boss, is this Jobs?"

Similarly, Zhang Ning, who was watching the live broadcast on the side, was also extremely excited.

Such a genius, such a nose master in the IT world, such an epoch-making figure.

His appearance shocked countless people.

Whether it is those who support Wang Zhidong's side or those who support Duan Yongji's side. Faced with the arrival of Jobs, they almost stopped thinking for a moment. They don't understand why Jobs appeared at the Sina shareholders' meeting.

However, Jobs didn't care about the shock of others, he said in English, hello everyone, I'm Jobs, and I'm also a minority shareholder of Sina. Although, I only bought a few hundred thousand dollars of Sina stock. However, I really like Sina as a portal. When I was in the U.S., I would often browse Sina's portal. I think Sina's future can even surpass Yahoo.

Of course, the reason why I'm here today is not to praise Sina. I'm just telling you a story, and as many of you may know, I only came back to Apple this year. Before that, I was kicked out of Apple by the Apple board. Then, immediately after I left, Apple lost money. By now, Apple has been relegated to the status of a second-rate company. I didn't want Apple to go bankrupt, and I didn't want Apple as a brand to disappear, so I went back to Apple.

And today, when I hear that Sina's board of directors has also done the same hateful behavior as some of the capitals did back then, I am outraged. I think that for those venture capitalists who are interested in profit, you just need to manage your own investments. As for the management of the company, I would like none of the venture capital firms to get involved. This is not what you are supposed to do, and this is not the work of your good deeds. I hope that all Sina shareholders will join me in supporting the original Sina management team and Mr. Wang Zhidong. Because he is the founder of Sina, he really understands Sina.

After Jobs's words were finished, the whole venue applauded thunderously, which was extremely sensational.

Many people can't help but get excited, they shout in their hearts, they have witnessed history.

This is followed by a voting session at the shareholders' meeting.

Of course, there was nothing to see in the voting session on the spot, because the people present were some major shareholders, who were representatives of the interests of all parties. Whether it is Wang Zhidong or Duan Yongji, or whether Jobs appears or not, their vote will not change. The real good-looking ones are the stocks of retail investors.

Because retail investors, i.e. individual investors, cannot all go to the shareholders' meeting. They vote electronically. As long as they vote in the stock trading account, they can also complete their shareholder rights.

Of course, if there was no Jobs before that, there wouldn't have changed much. But when Steve Jobs came to China and appeared in the news of Sina's shareholder meeting criticizing capital, it only took him a few seconds to cross the ocean and reach the eyes of countless investors in the United States.

They believed in Jobs, they saw Jobs as a hero, and they also chose Jobs's supporters at this time.

Wang Zhidong, right, although I didn't have any feelings for you before. However, I will give you a vote today.

An individual investor who bought Sina shares voted for Wang Zhidong in his electronic account.

Similarly, there are many, many more of them.

Even if many people don't know Wang Zhidong, they also began to vote for Wang Zhidong because of Jobs' name.

Wang Zhidong.

Wang Zhidong.

Wang Zhidong.

In all the electronic voting lists, they are all Wang Zhidong's options.

The number jΓΉ of the sky began to converge to the center of the NASDAQ number jΓΉ.

The next day, Nasdaq announced the number of votes cast by all Sina shareholders, and Wang Zhidong regained the position of Sina CEO with 40% support. And on this day, Wang Zhidong set foot on Sina again, retaking control of the empire he had once built.

History will remember this day.

History, will also remember the events of Sina's equity struggle.

Because, after the end of Sina's equity, the entire Chinese Internet began to make a huge leap.

No one believed that such a leap could be so huge, and no one believed. China's Internet, which is developing slowly and lagging behind the West by decades, was eye-catching in 2000. And no one could have imagined that in 2000, China's Internet giants that have been developing have already gone to the world in the future.

Even, with Apple, and Microsoft giants.

These are all unpredictable by the people of this era.

There is only one person who can see the future.

And this is this person, who would have thought that Wang Zhidong would return to Sina just by turning his hand.

However, Zhang Ning is very idle now, there is nothing big in Penguin Technology for the time being, and after helping Wang Zhidong, Zhang Ning seems to have nothing to do. Of course, it's not really nothing. If you want to do it, in fact, there are many, many things in the Internet that can be worthy of Zhang Ning's layout.

Like the upcoming outbreak of online games, or e-commerce, which will become the lifeblood of the economy in the future...... All of these are very promising.

However, for the time being, when Penguin Technology does not have a monopoly on domestic instant messaging, Zhang Ning will not do anything else.

Therefore, recently, Zhang Ning often went to learn classical musical instruments from Xie Dongyu.

"Xiaoyu, do you think that Zhang Ning likes you?"

Class 9 of the sophomore year, Yang Lingling said to Xie Dongyu.

"Why, I'm so ugly, it's strange that he likes me."

Xie Dongyu blushed a little.

One day, Xie Dongyu had seen Zhang Ning's whole picture. Unexpectedly, the moment Zhang Ning took off her hat at that time, she was not even surprised that she was a girl. She didn't expect that a boy could be so handsome. However, although Xie Dongyu blushed, he also knew that this was no drama at all. Zhang Ning is so handsome, although he is not ugly, but he is very ordinary, why does he take a fancy to himself.

"It's just, what did he do when he came to learn classical musical instruments from us, didn't you notice that he just learned casually?"

"Didn't you say it, he already has a foundation in music, and when he learns classical musical instruments, he is naturally much faster than ordinary people."

"Well, that makes sense. However, Zhang Ning seems to be very proficient in music theory. Didn't you notice, he said it last time. In fact, classical music does not necessarily have to be expressed by classical instruments, moreover, he said. As long as the classical style is put out, whether it is a guzheng or a piano, it is also acceptable. Haven't we been taking this detour before, and insisting on using classical instruments all the time? But now it is found that many people can't accept it. ”

"Yes, what he said made a lot of sense, and it inspired me a lot."

"So, for me, how could a genius like him come and learn classical instruments from us?"

"Perhaps, he really loves classical music?"

The two were chatting from time to time, and at this time Zhang Ning had already found the two of them, "Xiaoyu, Xiaolingdang, what will you teach me today?" ”

These days, following Xie Dongyu and Yang Lingling to learn ancient music instruments, Zhang Ning can be regarded as familiar with them, and when they just arrived, they greeted them cordially.

"Teach ...... Today"

Xie Dongyu was about to say, but after thinking about it, the guzheng, guqin, pipa, and even the erhu had taught Zhang Ning. Although Zhang Ning is not proficient in everything, he has learned everything. In the future, he will need to rely on his own practice, and he seems to have nothing to teach him.

"This, Zhang Ning, we don't seem to have anything to teach you."

Xie Dongyu was a little embarrassed, and he didn't know whether to sigh at Zhang Ning's genius or lament that he didn't seem to be capable.

"And, Zhang Ning, I have one more thing to tell you. There was one more person on our team, and he quit today. ”

Originally, there were a total of 3 people in the team, plus 4 Zhang Ning. It's just that these days, the people who have always had something to do have quit have also quit.

"It's okay, you see, I'm all men, I'm all in. I think more people will join us in the future. ”

"I hope so."

"By the way, Zhang Ning, what do you think we should do in the future? Because we have now started to review why our team went from more than 100 people to only 4 of us. Is classical music really not suitable for this era, or are we really limited in level? ”

"Well...... this"

That's a big problem.

It's not just them, even if they throw such a question to some music experts, they don't know how to answer it.

However, Zhang Ning has the vision of more than ten years in his previous life. In a previous life, after the decline of pop music, archaic songs came to the fore at that moment. Many well-known singers in the ancient style have emerged, such as Xu Song, Mo Ming Qimiao, Dong Zhen, and many Hong Kong and Taiwan artists have also moved closer to the direction of the ancient style, which is something that many people could not imagine before.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Ning said, "In fact, it's not that the ancient songs are not suitable for this stage, but that we haven't inherited and developed them well. Just like why pop music is so popular nowadays, because he inherited the culture of modern people. And the classical songs that we have been promoting have always been tunes from hundreds of years ago or even more than a thousand years ago.

These pieces had a great influence in the society at that time, but now, there may be some that are not suitable. However, there are still many people who like the genre of ancient songs. Just as many people like classical Chinese culture. The reason why we have not been successful before, I think, is that we have only inherited the form of classical music, but not the essence of it. We just repeat the music of more than a thousand years over and over again, but we don't create our own classical style that belongs to modern people...... No, we shouldn't call him classical style, we should call him Chinese style, that is, Chinese style music that has a classical style and is different from the current pop music. ”
