What’s Wrong With Me Being a Rich Man? - Chapter 274

Chapter 274 Lobbying (6k)

Liu Jiankai was determined to change his work and lifestyle, so he said goodbye to Today’s Capital at a very fast speed, and no matter how Xu Xin tried to keep him, he did not change his mind.

By the time he woke up in a hangover on his first day of unemployment, there was no change in the world, nothing better, nothing worse.

This made Liu Jiankai’s mood quite bad.

He was stunned for a long time before he began to browse the relevant information briefly. He saw that everyone was not only discussing the matter of Tudou.com, but also discovered the embarrassing three-in-one marriage and love attacks.

Someone is already teasing anonymously: “If you want to get a divorce, look for Xu Xin.”

The changes in the three projects of Ganji.com, Zhendongfu and Tudou.com in the past two years are so shocking, and today’s capital is a special existence that has won three yuan in a row.

Xu Xin obviously cared about the public opinion and potential impact of this matter. She spoke through the media at almost the fastest speed, and said in a self-deprecating manner: “In the future, whenever we get married, we will interview our wife, divorced, and we will interview our ex-wife, and we will interview our parents if we are not married.”

Liu Jiankai looked at the former boss on the screen and knew that she was not as wonderful as she looked.

He thought that the last document he saw before leaving the office was from the Penguin WeChat promotion analysis forwarded by IDG, and the content above came from the WeChat team, and couldn’t help but think about the competitive situation in this field for a while.

After a while, Liu Jiankai let go of his eyebrows and felt that he still needed to consider his future.

That night, he rejected the opportunity from state-owned enterprises that he had made him hesitate before, and decided to see if there is any direction that makes life more interesting or more fulfilling.

Facts have proved that today’s Capital’s resume is still very good and attractive.

The next morning, Liu Jiankai was pulled to meet more friends by his friend who learned the news. He had a good meal at noon, but before he could rest in the afternoon, he was at the evening party.

This is a returnee, that is a young man, the one on the left has resources for a certain company, and the one on the right has a relationship with someone who is the boss.

Liu Jiankai was very excited at first, but he couldn’t help but frown as he listened.

“Brother Liu, I have a project in my hand. Come here and let’s do business together. I will find a group of old men and women who have nothing to do to register, do a ‘mobile Internet smart elderly care’, and then apply for support and get subsidies.”

“I have news here that at the beginning of next year, the above will be a demonstration project. As long as we make a batch of people and put them in the list, the company’s value will immediately increase!”

Liu Jiankai listened to the words of the young master who had just changed to him, and endured it again and again, and said, “Isn’t this a fraud? It’s easy to get into trouble?”

The young master said disdainfully: “Brother Liu, this is not called a fraud. This is to make full use of policies. We will regularly measure blood pressure and get some professional heart rate. Oh yes, there is also a pedometer. Why isn’t this technology caring for the elderly?”

Liu Jiankai reluctantly kept smiling. After finally dealing with the young master, he heard the old man come to recruit him again.

“Mr. Liu, the domestic policy is now tilted towards agriculture. You should be interested. The projects I have in hand have very good prospects and are for green energy biomass conversion.”

Liu Jiankai didn’t understand the words and asked: “What transformation?”

The old man said: “Green energy quality transformation is a project of the production, academia and research system. The following provinces can do it, and they can also find leaders to endorse it. When they cooperate with the official listing, they will definitely make money, just depend on how much they make.”

Liu Jiankai thought for a while and asked, “What exactly are you doing?”

“Sign a contract with local grain stations to purchase straw, and then we extract biodiesel!” Lao Youzi described, “First dry and crush the straw, destroy its structure, then hydrolyze it into sugar with dilute acid, then find microorganisms to transform it, and then create hydrocarbon substances. Finally, use a catalyst to exchange waste oil and methanol ester to produce fatty acid methyl ester.”

Liu Jiankai listened to this process and touched the wine glass handed over by the other party and asked directly: “Can the cost and benefits be balanced in this way?”

The old man smiled “hehe” and gave a thumbs up: “Mr. Liu, we are all in the wine, we have room for policy operation.”

  Technology sounds feasible, don’t ask whether it is profitable or not.

Liu Jiankai could probably guess what was going on. He said in a tactful way that he had just resigned and had to settle down. He didn’t have the energy to devote himself to his work immediately.

  There are cups and drinking at the table, and the relationship is getting closer and the topic is getting wider and wider.

However, Liu Jiankai became more and more irritable as he drank. Over the years, he has invested in investment, what subsidies, policies, production flow, and official cooperation are actually not uncommon. He felt that it was fine before, but now he always felt that he had a thorn in his heart.

He suddenly had a thought, it would be great if he was Yu Xing. The guy might stand up and pat the table and leave when he heard something unhappy!

After a while, Liu Jiankai was a little angry again. Why did Yu Xing slam the table and leave? He is not a big shot. He should honestly bow his head to get the money, then accept the assignment, and follow everyone to make money!

Liu Jiankai was so drunk that he almost agreed to one of his friends’ invitations, but with his last reason he replied to “consider again”.

In the early morning, Liu Jiankai, who was asleep, suddenly woke up from the nightmare with sweat.

He dreamed that he went to operate the “Green Energy Quality of Life Transformation” project together, and got the subsidy. He was making a big and powerful move, but suddenly the scam was exposed online by the Baixiaosheng Forum.

Immediately, I went to President Bai Xiaosheng’s office in horror to ask Yu Xing for pleading, but Yu Xing refused with a cold face and scolded himself again.

Finally, seeing that there was no hope of solving the problem, I could only hang myself at the door of Yu Xing’s office in despair.

Liu Jiankai sat on the bed, swallowed several saliva, wiped his sweat, and suddenly felt a little angry: “Cao! I’m still scolding myself in my dream! Why didn’t I scold Yu Xing myself?!”

He tossed and turned for a long time before he went to bed.

On the third day, Liu Jiankai declined his friend’s invitation to dinner and drove around in Shanghai. He wanted to go shopping at Capital Today, but he remembered that he had resigned. Before he knew it, he drove downstairs of WeChat company.

He got out of the car and hesitated whether to go up and take a look. He stood down for ten minutes. He was about to turn around and saw Mr. Yu’s secretary.

“Hey, Lingling.” Liu Jiankai’s title is based on the name Yu Xing’s name for Lin Lingling.

Lin Lingling was not surprised when she saw Liu Jiankai. This man had been here often before and greeted him: “Mr. Liu, are you here to find Mr. Yu? He is not here.”

Liu Jiankai breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably and said, “Uh, I’ll just take a look. Forget it, if Mr. Yu is not here, he will not go up. Well, where has he been?”

A slight smile appeared on Lin Lingling’s face: “Mr. Yu took people to the capital to find money.”

Liu Jiankai hesitated for two seconds and asked, “Have you gone to find IDG?”

Lin Lingling shook her head and did not give an answer.

“Okay, I’ll have a drink with him when Mr. Yu comes back.” Liu Jiankai planned to get in the car.

Lin Lingling stopped calling and asked, “Mr. Liu, I don’t understand why you are so foul.”

Liu Jiankai knew that she was referring to the incident that President Xu came to the door a few days ago and frowned, “It’s not us, it’s President Yu.”

“Then there is no Mr. Yu. The ex-wife of Tudou.com also posted on Sina Weibo. Do you want to go to Sina Weibo to curse people?” Lin Lingling said, “She went to the court to sue. Do you also want to ask the court to withdraw it?”

Liu Jiankai sighed, “Things are very complicated…”

Lin Lingling refused to give in: “Mr. Liu, I still don’t understand. If it is because of Bai Xiaosheng’s problem, then why should we interrupt the financing of WeChat companies?”

Liu Jiankai replied: “This is accumulated…”

“Then I can only understand that you are not professional enough.” Lin Lingling said generously, “WeChat company has been in less than a year since it has reached the beginning. It is already the third largest IM tool in the country. Mr. Yu led us to build a technical development team, plan market competition methods, seize the opportunities of opponents’ public opinion, and gained more than 12 million users in just eight months. You and Mr. Xu were determined to interrupt financing because of someone else’s problem. Is this your professionalism?”

Liu Jiankai sighed and said, “The problem is very complicated. This…hey, you can follow your boss, you have a sharp mouth.”

Lin Lingling said lightly: “What is the point I said is not a fact?”

Liu Jiankai was silent for a while: “It’s already like this. Mr. Yu has gone to Beijing to find money. What else are you saying? I have already resigned from today’s capital. I hope the WeChat company will develop well.”

Lin Lingling widened her eyes and said in surprise: “Ah? Have you resigned? This…”

Her thoughts were completely disrupted, and after a moment, she said a little embarrassedly: “I’ll come down to buy a cup of milk tea, Mr. Liu, goodbye.”

Liu Jiankai did not leave immediately this time, but followed General Secretary Yu to the milk tea shop and asked again: “Speaking of this, how do you think General Yu is stubborn? Or, what do you think of General Yu?”

“Mr. Yu? Anyway, I think you are not authentic. Mr. Yu has never promised you that you will help cover up the problem, right?” Lin Lingling thought for a while, “I think, according to Mr. Yu’s personality, if you can make him agree to such a thing, he will do it as long as he agrees, but he doesn’t agree, that’s not the first time. You should get used to it.”

Liu Jiankai laughed and said, “It’s because it’s not the first time that there are such serious consequences. This is what President Yu asked for.”

“Okay, Mr. Yu asked for it himself, Mr. Yu is willing to do it too. He has taken the consequences. He is not taking people to the capital to find money.” Lin Lingling was a little angry, but then she thought of the person in front of her and shook her head, “Forget it, let’s not talk about it, you have also asked for it.”

“…” Liu Jiankai was a little speechless, “Mr. Yu is also very stubborn?”

“Who said? Are you saying that Mr. Yu stubbornly issues options, bonuses, overtime pay, or stubbornly talks to us about the future mobile Internet?” Lin Lingling said sincerely, “Mr. Yu doesn’t eat and drink a lot, nor does he make random things. He eats lunch boxes every day and thinks about the market. This is what everyone sees. A large part of my job is to provide him with technical explanations and analysis, but Mr. Yu respects the opinions of professionals very much.”

She ordered two cups of milk tea, and booked the milk tea on the fourth floor, and said, “Look, the money for this milk tea was invited by President Yu in Beijing. I don’t know how you and President Yu are in conflict. Anyway, he is very nice to us and is usually very kind. Bai Xiaosheng heard that it is not far from listing. He is so young and has no pride. He usually talks about everything, houses, stocks, and industry trends. We privately think that what President Yu said makes sense.”

Liu Jiankai was a little surprised: “Really? I didn’t expect that he is… very easy-going?”

Lin Lingling handed over a cup of milk tea: “Mr. Liu, I’ll invite you for Mr. Yu. I tell you, maybe you want to use this reason to withdraw your investment, and feel that you can’t beat Penguin, but at the beginning of your investment, did you ask a startup company to definitely win this competition with Penguin?”

Liu Jiankai took a sip of milk tea, thought it was better than wine, and pondered, “What should I do if I can’t win?”

“Many of us don’t think we can win. We can’t win on WeChat. Either the company is dissolved or the company is sold. Anyway, many people feel that they will continue to follow General Yu in any case.” Lin Lingling touched Liu Jiankai’s milk tea cup with milk tea, “Mr. Liu, if you have no place, you can come. I’m going up, goodbye.”

Liu Jiankai watched Lin Lingling leave, and when she was about to disappear, he still asked: “Hey, Lingling, where did Mr. Yu go to find money?”

Lin Lingling waved her hand without looking back and did not reveal her whereabouts.

Liu Jiankai looked up at the fourth floor of WeChat without Mr. Yu, sighed deeply, and felt that life was particularly confused.

  The capital at the same time.

Yu Xing pointed to PPT in the chairman’s office of 360 Company, introduced the competitive situation between WeChat and WeChat, and talked about the efficiency of Penguin’s omni-channel promotion and the expected user growth.

At the same time, he also mentioned the current inventory of smartphones.

The inventory of smart phones is bad news for WeChat, which means that the growth rate will slow down, which means that Symbian models will find it difficult to keep up with the version iteration.

However, Penguin is also limited by this basic situation. As for… the smartphone will make rapid progress in a few months, and it is very likely to reduce obstacles when the Penguin catches up or is about to catch up with WeChat. That is another judgment.

At least, Zhou Hongyi obviously did not consider the way to alleviate this factor.

Yu Xing felt that Mr. Zhou could not blame him. No one expected that the explosion speed of smartphones would be so rapid. But it’s Mr. Zhou’s problem that always interrupts himself and doesn’t concentrate on listening to the cake.

“Yu Xing, did Liu Chiping really say that?” Zhou Hongyi interrupted again.

Yu Xing had no choice but to pick up the cup and drink water: “Liu Chiping also added me on WeChat, why don’t I ask him again.”

Zhou Hongyi smiled slightly and didn’t smile, and she really nodded and said, “Then ask.”

Yu Xing changed his mind, put down the teacup, and first pointed to the data analysis on PPT: “This is very important, Mr. Zhou, please remember it.”

Then, he picked up his phone and thought about sending a message to Liu Chiping: “Mr. Liu, I’m very surprised, why did you invite me to attend Penguin’s strategic seminar, and didn’t invite Mr. Zhou of 360?”

Yu Xing generously sent a message, intending to prove himself in this way. He just put down his phone and wanted to continue explaining, and heard the reply from WeChat.

Liu Chiping is a user of WeChat’s in-depth experience. He really responds to messages and is a voice.

Yu Xing clicked the voice-over so that several people in this office could hear the reply from President Penguin.

“Haha, Zhou Hongyi is too bad.” Liu Chiping quoted Pony’s direct comment at that time.

Yu Xing knew that Liu Chiping would not have any kind response, but he did not expect that he would be so straightforward. The moment he heard the voice, he looked at Zhou Hongyi, who was pricking up his ears, and then he saw that the face turned dark with the naked eye.

Two seconds later, Liu Chiping replied with another message.

Yu Xing still pressed.

Liu Chiping: “This is what Pony said.”

Yu Xing put down his cell phone and spread his hands to Zhou Hongyi, whose face changed, and insisted on me asking. If you really ask, you are unhappy.

Zhou Hongyi raised her head, and also imitated Liu Chiping’s tone and said “hehe”.

Seeing that he had no other words, Yu Xing continued to talk about the competition between WeChat and WeChat.

This time he came to Beijing to formulate many visit plans, and different goals have different focus. Today, at 360, he describes the threat of WeChat’s rise to Penguin’s overall strategy.

By the time the PPT was almost finished, Tian Yaozong, deputy general manager from 360, expressed his objection.

“Mr. Yu, your plan is so good. Not only do you not want to give money, but you also want to make money to continue to let us pay for traffic.” Tian Yaozong was not polite, “I tell you the truth, we are going to launch competitive products with you!”

Not only will the traffic be not given, this traffic must also be used by new competitors.

This is the first time Yu Xing heard that 360 also had plans to test instant messaging. He was not panicked. He noticed that Zhou Hongyi was obviously looking at his reaction. After thinking for a moment, he asked, “Mr. Tian, ​​do you think WeChat can beat Penguin?”

Tian Yaozong said disdainfully: “It’s impossible to win!”

Yu Xing nodded and said, “Okay, since you think WeChat, which now has more than 12 million users, can’t beat Penguin, how can you be confident of using a product with 0 users now to fight Penguin?”

Tian Yaozong was speechless: “This…”

Yu Xing asked again: “Don’t mention products that have not yet entered the market. Renren also has high traffic, and it is not like 360’s tool attributes. It is a sticky social platform. However, it has been more than half a month since its launch. Do you know what the market response is now?”

Tian Yaozong frowned and refused to answer.

Seeing this, Yu Xing said without hesitation: “You don’t look at the strategic timing or the market situation. You talk to me about instant messaging. Since you want to talk, it’s better if anyone from 360 is directly responsible for this product.”

No one responded.

But the vague sight has proved who is the person in charge.

It was Tian Yaozong.

Yu Xing noticed the unconscious gaze and expression of the people next to him, pretending to be slow and said, “Is it… Mr. Tian?”

Tian Yaozong had a cold face.

Yu Xing shook his head and sighed: “Forget it, since 360 ​​wants to make a product like this, then just pretend I have never been there.”

Tian Yaozong stole the sentence at this time: “You will settle the debt when you come!”

Zhou Hongyi frowned and said, “Okay, stop talking.”

When Yu Xing heard this, he let go of half his heart and became more and more calm: “Mr. Zhou, I don’t have any opinions on 360’s competitive products. In fact, in the field of mobile instant messaging, it may be because of the small achievements of our WeChat company. Many people really want to try it, but as I said, the market response of everyone chat is very bad. It has pages similar to WeChat, and it also has the same functions, and it is both free. Why can’t it be done?”

He said seriously: “This is because users will only be attracted by the top products. Currently, the only heads of mobile instant messaging are WeChat and WeChat, and everything else is the ‘other’ that will inevitably fail.”

“Even Feixin belongs to this ‘other’ category. I don’t have specific data on Feixin, but Feixin will definitely have a big drop next year.”

“WeChat is obviously ahead of WeChat. The reason why WeChat is considered as the head is that Penguin is behind it.”

“This trip is to find the support behind WeChat.”

“From PC to mobile communication, without the monopoly of IM tools, Penguin’s overall strategy has a fatal crisis.”

Yu Xing said this, pointing to his mobile phone and using his opponent to prove it: “If this is not the case, Liu Chiping would not come to persuade me to surrender, Lu Shan would not quickly take over the instant messaging service, and Pony would not hold meetings at 12 o’clock every day. They have realized the danger.”

He finally said: “For this kind of competition, there may be only 360 left to help the traffic. Mr. Zhou, you can decide whether to add the last straw to this camel.”

Zhou Hongyi had no expression. After a while of silence, she suddenly asked, “You and Capital Today have a stumble and then came to Beijing in a hurry, right? Is there something wrong with WeChat’s funds?”

Yu Xing said frankly: “Yes, there are questions about the next step of funds, but I am not here today, but just for traffic.”

Zhou Hongyi stared at the young man in front of her who did not avoid her eyes and mentioned an extra thing: “360 can provide traffic and can do a debt-to-equity conversion, but there will be negative news in the Baixiaosheng Forum in the future. Can you suppress it?”

Yu Xing did not hesitate and shook his head: “Bai Xiaosheng is Bai Xiaosheng. Isn’t it enough to not be negative for 360? I can’t make such a promise.”

A hint of joy appeared on Tian Yaozong’s face, OK!

Zhou Hongyi nodded: “Okay, you’re very honest. Even the shareholders who have always supported you in Today Capital are reluctant to suppress the news and have broken up the relationship. I don’t think you can do anything to 360, but you didn’t lie to ask for traffic.”

Tian Yaozong opened his mouth slightly, is this okay? What’s the difference between this and being admitted for picking up a piece of paper during an interview? !

Yu Xing had a serious expression: “I think one code is the same as one code, so don’t be confused. WeChat is WeChat. We are talking about competition with Penguin and resistance to monopoly.”

“Three months of traffic is counted as 15 million per month, plus the 10 million owed in the previous month.” Zhou Hongyi made a decision.

In this case, it is difficult to make your own products. It is not free to use traffic as investment. There is also price increase, and the equity of WeChat company is also considered to be of certain value.

Yu Xing nodded and stretched out his right hand: “Mr. Zhou, this is very wise.”

Zhou Hongyi smiled at this tone: “Penguin also invites you to discuss, but I want to see how you discuss.”

Yu Xing did not answer this question and packed up his notebook and documents.

Zhou Hongyi insisted on staying: “Eat together at noon, I want to hear how you and Xu Xin had a quarrel.”

“No, Mr. Zhou, I have a full schedule and I have to go to Sohu.” Yu Xing refused, “Besides, Mr. Xu and I have a quarrel, but there is nothing worth talking about behind the scenes. She is also a shareholder of WeChat.”

Zhou Hongyi was a little surprised, but she still shook hands with Yu Xing in the end and sent him out.

Tian Yaozong only felt that this was a charming **** from outside that made the boss confused…

Unexpectedly, Zhou Hongyi made a new decision after she came back: “Tian Yaozong, stop what you have in your hands.”

Tian Yaozong was caught off guard: “Ah?”

“Do you think you can call Penguin? Can you call WeChat? It will be launched in two months. The daylily is cold. What else can you call?” Zhou Hongyi said coldly, “It’s settled like this. You can continue to talk to the browser.”

Tian Yaozong wanted to defend himself, but only got the boss’s stern eyes, and finally accepted the result with weak energy.

The group from Shencheng went straight to Sohu from 360 without stopping.

“Mr. Yu, 360 is more smooth than expected.” Li Shanyou said on the way, “I hope Sohu will go as well.”

“It’s hard to say about Sohu, but if Sohu has no intention, we can still go to Sogou.” Yu Xing adjusted his thinking, “It’s easier to have traffic than to make money. Traffic has a premium, and this is more cost-effective to compare shares.”

Li Shanyou was a little surprised: “Sogou came from Sohu.”

Yu Xing nodded and said, “Yes, but Sogou’s Wang Xiaochuan is very independent and may not have the opposite opinion of Sohu.”

As noon approached, the group met Zhang Chaoyang from Sohu.

Yu Xing slightly adjusted his strategy for the second goal and rolled his bargaining chips.

“Mr. Zhang, everyone can see the prospects of WeChat companies. 360 took the initiative to provide us with traffic support. We are not short of money now, but we just lack traffic.”

Yu Xing did not mention money, and he changed his slightest initiative.

Zhang Chaoyang smiled without surprise at all, “He must support you, he almost came out!”

Yu Xing said seriously: “This is just a factor. On the way I came, I also called Mr. Zhou. In order to support me, he took the initiative to disband the 360 ​​team for instant messaging, which was very sincere.”

Zhang Chaoyang was a little surprised this time.

Li Shanyou next to him looked at the expression of the head of Sohu and suddenly understood Mr. Yu’s lobbying strategy. Is the list of “active” support later becoming longer and longer…
