Reborn multinational giant

Chapter 511



"President Fang, I have lived for so many years and never admired anyone. Even if they are two horses and one Li, and even the world\'s richest man Bill Gates, I think they are just mortals, with two arms and two legs, no better than my old Zhou!

However, since I knew you, I have understood what is called a divine man and what is called a cow. Now, I, Lao Zhou, admire you from the bottom of my heart!

Here, let me propose a toast! "

Fang zhe looked at President Zhou 360, who held up the wine glass. It was funny in his heart. Generally speaking, President Zhou\'s current achievements were a figure. In addition, he was more than ten years old and they had known each other for a long time. President Zhou would not flatter and flatter Fang Zhe in front of Fang Zhe.

Now that he has done so, his purpose and mentality have been shown.

Fang zhe picked up his glass, accepted his toast, and then smiled and asked, "President Zhou, if you have anything to say, I have to watch a project in the evening. When I have time, I\'ll invite you to have a good drink!"

President Zhou put down his glass and refilled the glasses of himself and Fang Zhe. He asked curiously:

"What project would you like to ask in person? It\'s inconvenient for you to disclose it to me?"

President Zhou\'s inner curiosity is rampant. Although what he just said is somewhat flattering, it is also somewhat sincere. He really admires each other.

Fang Zhe, who is only in his 20s, achieved this achievement in less than five years. Let alone unprecedented, I\'m afraid there will be no comers. What two horses and one Li, Bill Gates and jobs, their achievements at this age have been thrown out of more than a dozen blocks by Fang Zhe.

What makes President Zhou feel that Fang Zhe is a divine reincarnation is his vision and strategy. Looking at the investment of zhongwin capital established by Huizhong and Fang Zhe in the past few years, let alone few failures, even if there are few projects that make little money, President Zhou really doesn\'t know what word to use to describe Fang zhe except admiration and cow force.

Now Fang zhe says that he wants to see a project in person at night. President Zhou feels that this is probably another lucrative project. Naturally, his curiosity surges out.

Fang zhe looked at President Zhou and didn\'t deliberately hide it. He said, "it\'s a news and information project. People under this project have been staring at it for more than half a year. Now it\'s round a financing!"

"Only round a?" there is a trace of excitement hidden in President Zhou\'s words. In this case, he doesn\'t know whether he has the opportunity to participate. Although he doesn\'t know what the project is, he believes that the project that can be asked by Fang zhe himself must be a very wonderful project, which will make a lot of money in nine out of ten cases.

Fang zhe saw the joy and cunning on President Zhou\'s face. He had guessed his idea. He frowned and said, "you don\'t have to think about round A. there will be no other players except our winning capital. I asked about this project to meet the person in charge of this project and see if it is worth cultivating!"

There was a trace of disappointment on President Zhou\'s face. Don\'t think about round A. It\'s the turn of round B to finance. It depends on whether 360 has the capital and strength to squeeze in. You know, for any project with win-win capital and Huizhong participation in the market, other investors and funds also want to squeeze in, because they know that this project is bound to make money!

President Zhou still wanted to ask about this project, but Fang zhe impatiently interrupted: "President Zhou, if you want to talk to me about anything, let\'s get together another day!"

There was a trace of embarrassment on President Zhou\'s face. He just wanted to ask about the project, but he forgot the main thing he had asked Fang zhe today. He paused for a moment, organized the next language and said:

"Yes, Mr. Fang, as you know, since Baidu started Baidu cloud, we 360 have also made cloud disk. Up to now, we have done it for more than a year. Although users have accumulated a lot, there are almost few profits.

A few days ago, google threw another 10 billion yuan into the cloud business and signed a cooperation agreement with Jinshan. Baidu has a big family and a big business. How much money to invest is a matter for others, but we 360 are poor. Now the cloud business doesn\'t earn a penny. After calculating all kinds of costs every year, we have to lose tens of millions.

So I asked you out today just to let you help me see if I can do it and how to do it? "

Fang zhe looked at him straight and asked, "you can trust me so much. Aren\'t you afraid I\'ll give you the wrong move?"

"Hey, Mr. Fang, don\'t be modest. If you think it can\'t be done, I don\'t believe anyone in China can do it!" Mr. Zhou patted his thigh and said.

Fang zhe was silent for a moment. As Fang Zhe, even if he didn\'t give President Zhou a move, President Zhou didn\'t dare to gossip. After all, Huizhong and 360 had dealt with Tencent side by side in a trench. Fang Zhe and Lao Zhou were also close, so Fang zhe was willing to help him.

Fang zhe asked, "you must have a plan in mind when you come to me. It\'s better to have a long pain than a short pain. You can\'t see the future and don\'t do anything you\'re not sure of!"

When President Zhou heard this, his heart was cold. Even Fang zhe was not optimistic about engaging in personal cloud business in China. Even he felt that this business could not make money. What is the reason for 360 to stick to it?

Recalling the previous investment and the large number of users of 360 online disk, President Zhou still asked reluctantly:

"Is there no way? Advertising, games and at least tens of millions of users!"

Fang zhe smiled softly: "if you are not willing, you can think about it again. Although there are many users of cloud disk, I\'m afraid there are few active users. For users, cloud disk service is like a decoration. It\'s normal not to use it for a few months."

President Zhou nodded blankly and asked, "what about the office cloud? Like Baidu and Jinshan, from the perspective of office cloud, office workers all over the country use all kinds of documents to work every day. I\'m afraid there is also a demand for cloud services."

Fang zhe didn\'t answer him this time. He believed that with general Zhou\'s IQ, he could figure out the difficulties and obstacles himself.

Sure enough, after a moment, President Zhou took up a glass of wine and drank it up. He sighed: "forget it, Baidu has money to let Baidu play. I won\'t play with him. According to the current domestic market environment, Baidu and Jinshan can cultivate 1 million paying users. I admire him. I want to see if President Li can listen to the noise if he hits the 10 billion!"

Fang zhe also drank the wine in the cup, stood up, patted Lao Zhou on the shoulder and said: "I\'ll go first. Mr. Li has money and doesn\'t do business. Don\'t learn from him. After Google withdrew from China, Baidu\'s eating looks more and more ugly. Consumers can tolerate so many false advertisements on Baidu because they don\'t have a better choice. This is also your 360 opportunity. Whether you can grasp it depends on your ability!"

Fang Zhe\'s figure had disappeared at the door, but President Zhou\'s eyes flashed bright and decisive!

Two months later, 360 announced that it would close its 360 network disk service before March 15 next year. Before that, 360 network disk will open a fast download channel so that users can download their files and materials stored on 360 network disk locally. For users who have purchased 360 network disk member services, 360 will refund in full according to the remaining member service period of users!

Curse or hate, 360 has paid hundreds of millions of losses because of its follow-up, and also because of President Zhou\'s decisive and timely stop loss. At this time, whether Baidu cloud or other personal cloud players in the domestic Internet industry are still gritting their teeth and insisting on exploring the appropriate business model and profit mode!

Two months ago, on the night after Fang Zhe and President Zhou separated, Fang zhe met the person in charge of the news and information project he talked about with President Zhou on the 15th floor of Cuigong Hotel, Zhichun Road. Zhang Yiming, the founder of the parent company in the previous life and today\'s headlines!
