Chapter 970: The Return of the King

Half a year of travel gave Zhang Ning a new time to relax.

In the past six months, Zhang Ning has not asked any questions about Penguin.

Similarly, there is no interest in the latest Meizu mp3.

Zhang Ning devoted himself to tourism.

Unconsciously, half a year slipped quietly, and the time came to the end of 2004.

December, the last month of 2004.

In the last month of 2004, Zhang Ning returned to Yanjing.

To be precise, it was Zhang Ning who returned to Penguin Technology.

That's right, Zhang Ning announced his return in the last month of 2004.

Undoubtedly, Zhang Ning's return is quite shocking news.

It's been a year, it's been a whole year, and Zhang Ning has been away for a whole year.

Although Zhang Ning's complete disappearance is only half a year, the people still believe that Zhang Ning has been out of people's sight for one year. After all, Zhang Ning was not doing his job for half a year before traveling. Whether it is the movies he did, the hundred forums he held, or the dream university he founded, these have nothing to do with Penguin or Zhang Ning, the king of the world's Internet.

Moreover, most of these things are happening in China.

Perhaps, in China, everyone has not yet felt that Zhang Ning has completely left.

But in the world, people have already believed that Zhang Ning really disappeared for a year.

At least, they have rarely seen too much news about Zhang Ning in the media and newspapers, although there are occasional news mentions about Zhang Ning. But most of the news at this time was commented on Zhang Ning's previous news. All the latest news about Zhang Ning, the latest progress, never appeared again.

Until now, a year later, Zhang Ning has officially returned.

I knew, Zhang Ning, you would come back.

Zhang Ning, no matter what time it is, we support you.

Tears in the frame, Zhang Ning, thank you for coming back.

Zhang Ningda, let your return once again lead the penguins to the top of the world.

Many fans have been talking about it from time to time.

There are die-hard fans who have shed tears of excitement after learning that Zhang Ning has returned.

You know, how much they like Zhang Ning and Penguin Technology.

However, a year ago, Zhang Ning actually announced his resignation.

They thought that Zhang Ning would never return to the penguin again, but fortunately, after a year, Zhang Ning returned.

However, it is clear that the most excited are the media outlets.

Although, after Zhang Ning returned to Penguin, he was not notified by a media organization.

However, when these media organizations learned that Zhang Ning had returned to Penguin, countless media outlets had killed Penguin Technology.

The news about Zhang Ning's return is definitely the headline around the world.

Not to mention, these media, they also want to know very much why Zhang Ning returned this time.

Like, why did Zhang Ning choose to leave back then.

Although, Zhang Ning said that he wanted to travel, he did go to travel.

However, people absolutely do not believe that Zhang Ning left Penguin because he just wanted to travel.

Of course, now they don't have much interest in why Zhang Ning left Penguin in the first place. After all, it's been nearly a year, and the people are no longer so enthusiastic about why Zhang Ning left the penguins. However, the question of why Zhang Ning returned to Penguin has become the most anticipated topic.

Yes, everyone knows that in the year since Zhang Ning left Penguin Technology, Penguin's stock has experienced a historic plunge.

The original market value of $1 trillion fell to about $500 billion a year after Zhang Ning left.

A lot of people have been talking about it for a year.

They believe that Penguin's glory is no longer and that a $1 trillion market cap will be a myth.

In the future, Penguin will not be able to return to $1 trillion again.

Some experts also commented that Penguin's $1 trillion market value itself has an incomparable bubble. Just like Yahoo drove the Internet bubble back then, when the bubble dispersed, everyone saw that the real market value of Yahoo was dozens of times different from the market value at the peak of his bubble.

In addition, there are also evaluations. In fact, Penguin is still the king of the global Internet, his Facebook, his Penguin Video, his Focus Media, and his Penguin Fund, in fact, these businesses have not shrunk in this year's time. On the contrary, not only has it not shrunk, but these businesses have also grown significantly. However, why did the market value of Penguin still plummet by 50%. There is only one answer, the Penguin Company has lost their spiritual leader. It's like Microsoft lost Bill and Apple lost Steve Jobs.

There are even some people who are hostile to Penguin, and they believe that Penguin will no longer be brilliant, and Zhang Ning's departure is the beginning of his decline.

If this is the case, then, Zhang Ning's return, it is easy to explain.

It is nothing more than taking the opportunity of returning to lead the penguins to the top again.

This is the same as when Yahoo Yang Zhiyuan resigned and left, and then felt that Yahoo gradually lost its status as the king of the Internet and returned.

However, this is just speculation by these media outlets.

In addition, there is speculation about why Zhang Ning returned, as well as some bigwigs in the IT industry.

Is Zhang Ning coming back?

Apple's Jobs muttered to himself, with an idea in mind.

I just don't know if I can get another sum of money from him.

……

Zhang Ning......

Microsoft's Bill pondered.

Could it be that Zhang Ning's return to Penguin is because they have done their own operating system?

……

This monster is back again, didn't this guy quit the rivers and lakes, why did he come back again?

Yahoo's Yang Zhiyuan had some disbelief.

……

I already feel that Zhang Ning, this guy, he is ready to enter the search engine business, everyone is ready.

Google's founder, Paige, was taken aback and immediately called a company meeting to discuss why Zhang Ning returned.

……

What Zhang Ning's return is for, no one knows.

This also caused that when Zhang Ning returned to work at Penguin on the first day, the entire Penguin headquarters was already surrounded by reporters from major media organizations.

And, when Zhang Ning appeared, all the reporters surrounded Zhang Ning at once.

"May I ask Mr. Zhang Ning, what do you think about this return?"

"Mr. Zhang Ning, did you come back to Penguin to revitalize the stock price of Penguin?"

"Excuse me...... Do you think you still have what it takes to take Penguin to the top and bring it to the top with a $1 trillion market capitalization? ”

"Zhang Ning, will you launch a new business when you return this time?"

A series of questions kept being thrown.

Zhang Ning pressed his hand and motioned for everyone to come in order.

"Everyone, don't get excited, I, Zhang Ning, can't run, if you have any questions, come one by one. I'll answer the first question first, about this return, actually, I don't have much to explain. It's like, when I left. When I feel tired, I choose to take a break. And when I'm rested, I'll come back. Like, now I'm back. ”

"So, the second question, is my return to revitalize the Penguin stock. I would say that I didn't think about it at all. Penguin Company or Penguin Company, before and now. Penguin has not changed at all, and as for why the stock price has fallen so much in the last year, I can only say that everyone is too emotional. I think, discerning friends, now is the best time for you to buy Penguin stock. ”

"The third question, in fact, I have already answered the third question. Penguin used to reach a market capitalization of $1 trillion, and it can do the same in the future. The friend who asked me if I still had the strength felt like I had gone back a few years. Back then, a media reporter asked me if Penguin could have a market value of 100 billion after it went public. I didn't answer him at the time, until, when Penguin went public, everyone knew what was going on. ”

"The fourth question, in fact, is that we at Penguin have always launched new businesses. Even if I'm not there, it's the same. However, since I asked, then, I will say it. We at Penguin will indeed be launching a new product in the near future, and we will be holding a press conference soon. ”

"Fifth Question ......"

Zhang Ning answered 10 questions in one breath.

After 10 questions, Zhang Ning stopped giving interviews.

"Alright, guys, time is limited, so I can only answer 10 questions. If there is anything else you would like to ask, I will communicate with you later. However, I can share a little bit of information with you here. At Penguin's latest new product launch, we're going to launch one of the most innovative products ever. ”

After speaking, Zhang Ning felt that this sentence did not seem to be particularly powerful, turned around again, and said, "Perhaps, this one product, he will change the world." ”

……

Change the world!

Change the world!

Zhang Ning's last sentence when he turned around successfully detonated the attention of the world.

This sentence is too topical.

This sentence is too exciting for people's eyes.

The king of the Internet, the king is back.

The news from ABC typed such a headline.

The name Zhang Ning is destined to affect a generation.

Even if he disappeared a year before.

But when he returned, he shone like a star in the night.

Are you ready to change the world?

So writes the ace columnist of the British Times.

If someone else had said something like that, I think people would have either laughed out loud or thought he was insane.

Is it really that easy to change the world? Not to mention a small businessman, even if he is as strong as the president of the United States, it is extremely difficult for him to change the world on a large scale. However, when this sentence is put on Zhang Ning, I think we have no reason not to believe it.

The German newspaper Die Welt, with the title of expecting Zhang Ning to change the world, is full of excitement and emotion to introduce Zhang Ning's various products that can be regarded as changing the world. And, they posted a picture of hundreds of people celebrating together. This is a completely realistic press photo, and the photo shows a group of fans holding a portrait of Zhang Ning, who are celebrating wildly, celebrating Zhang Ning's return...... Some people will say that these people are crazy, but you won't know that most of these people are elites in the industry.

……

"Everyone, this year, everyone has worked hard."

On the first day of the return of the penguins, Zhang Ning held a high-level meeting of the company.

In addition to the members of Penguin's headquarters, Zhang Ning also called the leaders of various subsidiaries around the world.

It's a meeting, but it's just a cocktail party.

Zhang Ning held a wine glass and said to the senior management at the scene.

"Haha, boss, it's not hard, it's not hard, as long as you come back, our previous hard work is nothing at all."

Mark was the first to say with an excited face.

"Yes, Mr. Zhang, although the pressure has been a bit more during this period of time, there are still a lot of gains. In particular, during the year of Mr. Zhang's absence, we came up with various ways to deal with competitors in all aspects. ”

Chen Shijun of Penguin Video Network, at this time, also took over and said.

"Brother Zhang Ning, don't be polite to us. Come on, come on, brother toast you. You're back, and everyone has a backbone. What you will do in the future, we will all listen to you. ”

Zhou Hongwei, who has been making a lot of noise in the anti-virus area recently, held a wine glass and clinked glasses with Zhang Ning and said.

"Well, I won't say anything polite, for the sake of our penguins, let's finish this glass first."

The crowd drank it all.

"Mr. Zhang, it seems that you are ready to do a big job in the future."

After drinking it in one gulp, Ma Huateng on the side said at this time.

"I have this idea, so this time I called everyone together to meet each other. In the future, when we cooperate, I hope that everyone will cooperate sincerely and work together. ”

Zhang Ning nodded and said.

"Boss, you're mysterious this time. If we're going to do a big job, are we going to launch a new business? We don't know what the business is. ”

"Since everyone wants to know so much, then I will tell you in advance that in the future, we penguins will enter the hardware sector."

"Hardware?"

"Yes, it's hardware, or electronics."

Everyone was slightly stunned, "This, it doesn't seem to be our specialty." ”

Penguin is an internet company and really doesn't have much hardware experience.

This also made the heads of the subsidiaries present (except for Chen Qingqing) very strange, why Zhang Ning actually wanted to enter the hardware part.

"Is it the computer?"

Tong Lei, who is in charge of the online game, guessed.

She did know a little about Penguin's acquisition of some shares of Shenzhou Computer.

If you want to enter the hardware, the computer is the most convenient.

First, they have the technical experience of Shenzhou, and second, they have a brand.

As long as the brand of Shenzhou is replaced by a penguin, even if it is still sold as a Shenzhou computer, the brand will immediately be upgraded by several levels.

If it's a computer, there are still some opportunities.

However, Zhang Ning shook his head.

"It's not a computer."

"Maybe in the future we will go into the computer sector, but not now. And even if we were to get into computers, we wouldn't be in the traditional computer world. If it's just the traditional computer field, I don't think we can compare with Dell, HP, Samsung, Asus, or even Lenovo in China. ”

"It's not a computer, what's that, boss, just tell us."

Mark is anxious, said.

"Mark, what are you doing in such a hurry, everyone is guessing, who guesses will have a prize."

"Is it a cell phone?"

"It's not a cell phone."

Zhang Ning also shook his head.

Although mobile phones are also going to be entered, what is being launched now is obviously not a mobile phone.

"It's not going to be a TV."

"Or a game console?"

The heads of several subsidiaries, guessing from time to time.

It's just that Zhang Ning denied them one by one.

This confused everyone.

That is, it is not a computer, nor a mobile phone, nor a TV, nor a game console...... What kind of hardware is that?

Of course, if it's just electronics, in addition to these, there are also things like radios, digital cameras, camcorders...... etc., but these are all small electricity
