In the 90s, when Internet technology was just starting in the last century, the starting point between China and the developed countries in Europe and the United States was not very far apart, and the basic telecommunications facilities generally restricted the application of the Internet, and the imitators of domestic portals were only two years later than Yahoo.

Two years was nothing at that time, after 2000, the network infrastructure became more and more popular, and the number of Internet users increased at a geometric rate, let alone two years, even two months was very dangerous, enough to make the first and second place in the market form an insurmountable scale advantage.

Hong Kong journalist "Xie Yinghua" wrote an article in "Is it an emerging empire or a wonderful lie", accusing Song Chen of just a "COPYCAT" who brainlessly plagiarized foreign Internet products; And the same person, three years after the publication of this article, changed his attitude and praised Song Chen's efforts in the scientific and technological world.

OF COURSE, THERE IS NO BLACK-BOX OPERATION IN THIS, AND THERE IS NO SO-CALLED BRIBERY, BUT MORE AND MORE PEOPLE REALIZE THAT SONG CHEN IS NOT ONLY A SUCCESSFUL ENTREPRENEUR, BUT ALSO A RECOGNIZED PRODUCT MASTER, BAIDU (GOOGLE), PayPal (ALIPAY), IPOD, ITUNES, TWITTER, FACEBOOK, YUEBAO (USA) ...... These great products span search engines, online payment technology, consumer electronics, (disruptive) online music stores, new media, internet finance, and more

With the advent of these products, his company has become an indisputable leader in the field, and with the global technology industry out of the shadow of the Nasdaq stock market crash, people who "woke up overnight" were surprised to find that Song Chen's Chenxing Group has become a global technology entity that cannot be ignored across the Pacific.

After two years, Wall Street's top investment banks have "willfully" valued Chenxing Group at 100 billion US dollars, and they generally believe that even if China's Chenxing Group cannot be regarded as the same as the current Microsoft, it is difficult to say that it will not surpass the peak Microsoft empire in terms of market value in the future.

It is precisely because of this that the significance of the existence of China's Chenxing Group has become particularly conspicuous, and this technology company that gave birth to the American Chenxing is like a leader. It makes China's technology industry synchronize with Silicon Valley in the United States, and does not miss the rapid technological changes.

Chinese, who have always been concerned that this soil cannot give birth to great companies, can finally raise their eyebrows and say that China also has great companies! It is precisely because of this that in the context of the era when high-net-worth billionaires in the mainland generally emigrated to Europe and the United States, only Song Chen will be particularly eye-catching.

Of course, BAT is now following the trend of Silicon Valley, and even occasionally showing its strength. Alipay, for example, made pioneer PayPal aware of the huge gap in product concepts - but no one except Song Chen knew this, and it was natural to put the credit on his head.

The elders who first followed Song Chen also thought so. They glanced at each other a few times, their eyes were slightly red, and the affirmation of their boss proved that their efforts and hard work over the years were not in vain, and the facts proved that the young man standing on the podium did indeed have the foresight and insight beyond the times.

Without this young man, there would be no Chenxing Group in the world that spans the Pacific Ocean and is not inferior in scale to Microsoft's old tech empire - and it is two relatively independent operating entities in China and the United States!

If you haven't experienced a qiē yourself, who can believe this qiē today?

I remembered the sentence "Today is cruel, tomorrow will be even more cruel, and the day after tomorrow will be beautiful". Yao Hua and Zhu Tiejun, who were still apprehensive about the NASDAQ stock market crash, glanced at each other and sighed in their hearts: when the boss issued this warning in front of the company's employees, it was simply an accurate judgment of the trend of the technology industry in the next few years!

If it weren't for Song Chen, they would probably be lost in the frenzy of technology concept stocks and have no brains to expand externally. In the end, he suffered heavy losses in the stock market crash, and even became a member of the collapse of the NASDAQ stock market crash.

Just when the high-level officials were clapping and falling into deep thought, Song Chen's voice sank, and the atmosphere in the conference room became even more solemn: "Although I will immigrate to the United States. But that doesn't mean I don't pay attention to China Chenxing Group; On the contrary, my eyes will still be on the mainland, staring here. Mr. Wang will lead you to continue to implement the strategic blueprint I have planned for the company, and I will come back from time to time to meet with you! ”

"Mr. Jiang resigned as the group's public relations spokesman and transferred to the CEO of Mediacorp, about your change of nationality, did you ask Mr. Wang to come forward to hold a press conference?" Tsai Chongxin asked.

Song Chen sighed slightly: "The reception is still going to be held, after two years of operation, the equity of China Chenxing Group has been divided into a secret offshore company, I also resigned as chairman before, on the surface, I have no direct contact with the group!" ”

Zhai Yan shook her head and said: "If it is a reception, there is no need to try to clear up the relationship between you and the group, it will seem that we are weak-minded!" The change of nationality of the founder of the group may have betrayed the motherland emotionally, but there is no problem in law, and the agreement currently adopted by the group is also very stable! Of course, it is still necessary to be milder in caliber! ”

Wang Xiaoxue glanced at Song Chen, and also agreed: "I also mean this, it's better to avoid talking about it than to stop the boiling, the so-called turbulent public opinion can be treated differently, the media is the most critical, as long as the top does not intend to create a topic, it must subside in a few days; The largest number of netizens and so-called grassroots leaders can ignore it, they may be dissatisfied with your 'betrayal', but they are outside the system and do not need to pay special attention! ”

Wang Xiaoxue's words mean something, many people have heard it, and they understand it, because their bosses sometimes attach great importance to the opinions of ordinary people, this idea is very interesting, it is difficult to say that the Twitter he developed is not specifically to please this group of people, and open the so-called "era of free speech"!

Judging from the feedback from the United States, the first to accept Twitter is precisely this group of bloggers who used to be mixed in with blog sites, these people are the early elites of the Internet, and they can also be said to be civil opinion leaders.

Jiang Zheng probably knows this best, and the company he holds the new position, he has already paid attention to the fact that after the launch of China's Twitter, the first thing is to recruit these bloggers who mix well on the Internet.

"Even for those who don't have rights, we always have to be respectful, it's a matter of attitude! Moreover, our Chenxing company's products are oriented to the whole society, and the most demanded market players are precisely these people who have no rights and no money. In short, this matter must be cautious to the outside world! ”

This is not the first time that Song Chen has pointed out that he attaches importance to those groups living in the middle and lower levels of society, but he still has to show his attitude again in this strict scene, what he is most afraid of is that after he leaves the company, the overall strategy of China Chenxing Group will deviate and take a detour.

In addition to deliberately warning all the CEOs present not to make fundamental mistakes, Song Chen is also showing his authority: even if he will emigrate, he still firmly controls China's Chenxing Group.

Scanning the reactions of the managers present, although he didn't know what they were thinking, Song Chen just had to make sure they had no objections. He nodded with satisfaction, and then said slowly: "In the past two years, the NASDAQ stock market crash has brought a large number of technology companies to the bankruptcy wave, and also squeezed out the water of many listed companies, the value has returned to rationality, frequent capital mergers and acquisitions have helped to optimize the structure, and the financial reports of listed companies in the third quarter have proved that they will stop losses or make small profits, which will help investors restore confidence - of course, it is impossible to return to the madness at the end of the last century, whether it is the NASDAQ stock exchange, It takes several years or even more than ten years for listed companies to lick their wounds to recover, including our three listed subsidiaries! ”

"Even so, the worst is behind us, and we survived the hardest!" Song Chen smiled slightly, and his radiant smile suddenly warmed the temperature of the office, "In the past two years, the declining salary policy has caused widespread dissatisfaction among employees. In addition, the option award that was originally shelved can also be re-proposed, and the remuneration committee can hand over the proposal to Mr. Wang at that time, and I will pay attention to this matter! ”

When it comes to option awards, many high-level executives are in high spirits, especially the heads of the three major listed companies, because compared to the relatively stable salary, stock options are the primary criterion for determining who is the real "working emperor".

At present, Yao Hua, Wang Juntao, and Cheng Yang are far from the world's top working emperors, but within Chenxing, they are parting with each other, and they all want to prove to each other who is the "first manager of Chenxing". And for companies that have not yet been listed, in addition to increased salaries and bonuses, there are also equity award plans!

Compared with Ctrip, Chenxing Network and 8848, which have been listed, Zhu Tiejun, these unlisted CEOs, will suffer some losses. Of course, this is not absolute, the biggest problem with stock options of listed companies and non-listed companies is the exit mechanism, that is, the problem of stock cashing.

This problem is not a problem for Chenxing Group, the Song family's "stingy" name has been heard by global investors, Chenxing's subsidiaries are either wholly owned by Hong Kong Chenxing Group, or only a part of it is divided by early angel investors!

At that time, generous and generous as Son Masayoshi, in addition to the early insight hero obtained 20% of the equity of Chenxing Network, Alibaba, and Baidu (which was later diluted), later connected to Meisheng Group's participation in PayPal and other shares only obtained a small part of the equity.

At the end of 99, before the technology concept stocks had lost their rationality, at the beginning of 2000, Song Chen made a small batch of five or six billion US dollars of after-tax profits in the name of capital mergers and acquisitions that urgently needed funds. (To be continued......)
