Reborn multinational giant

Fang Zhe and Jobs ate this lunch for more than an hour, and also talked for more than an hour. The content of the two chats, from culture to belief, from life to the mobile phone market to the mobile Internet, in general, the two of them Eating is pretty pleasant.

"I haven't said so much to people for a long time. Maybe you are right. The color of life can be simple and pure black and white, or it can be colorful. Everyone's life is different and unique. ."

Perhaps it was because in private, or because he found Fang Zhe to talk to him today, and perhaps because he felt more and more that he was racing against death all the time, and Jobs said a lot, full of words. Sensual.

"I'm very happy to have lunch with you, my husband. If you have the opportunity, I very much hope that you can visit China in person. Then I will do my best as a landlord. Please try my favorite Mapo Tofu! "

Fang Zhe once again extended an invitation to Jobs politely. Jobs had never been to China in his previous life, and Fang Zhe didn't have much hope in his heart. He said this only out of politeness.

A surprised smile appeared on Jobs's face: "Mapo Tofu? Well, I look forward to that day."

...

Two days later, Fang Zhe, Li Wen and their entourage boarded the plane returning home at San Francisco International Airport. During the two days he stayed in the United States, he went to Huizhong's US office and the cloud computing that Huizhong acquired overseas. Startups and whatsapp companies have all gone round.

Business affairs, these three places did not bring any surprises to Fang Zhe, even if Fang Zhe had been looking forward to the founder of WhatsApp, Kom, under the disparity between the two people's current status, he is like a meeting the boss Fang Zhe's subordinates did not have the legendary color of the son of destiny that Fang Zhe expected. On the contrary, Fang Zhe felt this feeling in Jobs.

Even now sitting on the plane returning home, Fang Zhe still often thinks of the many conversations he had with Jobs that day. Today Jobs is already at the top of the Internet industry. His character and virtue are not a good person. But he is definitely a great person.

Fang Zhe saw the shadow of his own future in him, but compared with Jobs, Fang Zhe has a completely opposite character. Fang Zhe likes colorful colors, and Fang Zhe likes to explore and try, to feel the bustling world that has been disturbed. , Maybe the only similarity between the two is that they are both striving for something that they like in their hearts.

After Fang Zhe returned to China, the time difference was reversed. The time has entered February, and there is still half a month before the Chinese New Year.

For a company like Huizhong that is no longer small in size and number of people, the year-end is more busy than before. Financial audit year-end summary and the like have already been busy as early as the end of the Chinese calendar before New Year's Day. Now, What keeps Huizhong employees and the administration department busy is preparing for Huizhong's annual meeting.

Last year, Fang Zhe said that if the number of Huizhong employees can exceed 1,000 at this year’s annual meeting, then Huizhong’s annual meeting this year will be held at the Bird’s Nest. Today, the total number of Huizhong’s single parent company has exceeded the number of employees. There are two thousand people, not to mention subsidiaries and affiliates.

In the end, Lin Lin finally concluded that the total number of employees participating in the Huizhong annual meeting was more than 5,000. Of course, Fang Zhe did not break his promise. The Administration Department contacted the official management of the Bird's Nest to book a venue a few months ago.

Since Jackie Chan held a solo concert at the Bird’s Nest in May last year, the commercial operation of the Bird’s Nest has become an open secret. As the most iconic venue for the 2008 Yanjing Olympics, the Bird’s Nest has also been sought after by many stars and companies. Many singers regard holding concerts in the Bird's Nest as the pinnacle and glory of their career.

However, the Bird's Nest is naturally not a place where the uninfluenced cats and dogs can hold concerts, but the stars who hold concerts here are basically very famous and influential in China.

Of course, in addition to these two points, it is more important to have money. The current rental fee for the Bird’s Nest is about 3 to 5 million a day, plus various expenses such as setting up the stage and dismantling the stage. The stars want to be here. For a solo concert, it costs at least 10 million yuan. This price is in China, and apart from top-tier stars, few stars can afford it.

However, it’s not the same for a commercial performance or company. In the past life, a variety show like "I Am a Singer", which is not bad for money, is already a household name in the Bird’s Nest, and some companies hold commercial events here. There have been a few, but the annual meeting was held here. In the short business history of the Bird's Nest, Huizhong was the first company to do so.

Therefore, as early as more than a month ago, after Huizhong began to circulate the news that "the company will hold an annual meeting in the Bird's Nest this year", many employees in the company began to feel uneasy.

There were ten minutes before work this morning. Two employees who had just come to the company sat and chatted together. One of them, a newcomer who had just become an intern, asked the old employee sitting next to him: "Hey, Brother Li , Will our company hold an annual meeting in the Bird's Nest this year?"

Brother Li, who was originally a bit dull, became interested when he heard what he said. He instantly turned his temper and said nonchalantly, "Sure, you didn’t know when you first came here. We always said this before last year’s annual meeting. However, if the number of our company exceeds one thousand this year, the annual meeting will be held in the Bird's Nest. At that time, he said in front of the owners of our company. With Fang’s temperament, how could he break his promise. Besides, Fang Zong is not bad. That little money!"

"Really? Fang should just talk about it! Even if we want to rent a place in the Bird's Nest, others may not rent it. If we want to rent, how much will it cost that day!" Although Li Ge explained to the newcomer, But the newcomer is obviously still not convinced.

Brother Li looked at him very uncomfortably and said, "What do you know, how much money in this world can't do anything? You can't, it's because you are poor!"

Speaking of this, Brother Li seemed to think of some extremely happy memories, and saw him happily saying: "I tell you, last year, last year our company's annual meeting, do you know where it was opened?"

"I heard that it seems to be a five-star hotel?" The newcomer stayed in Huizhong for two months and seemed to have heard of Huizhong's past glorious history.

"Yes, a five-star hotel, but, do you know where that hotel is? Just in front of the Bird's Nest, Pangu Seven-star Hotel!" Li Ge remembered the name very deeply.

With a puzzled look on the face of the newcomer, he asked, "Isn't it a five-star hotel?"

"It’s called Pangu Seven-Star Hotel. It actually seems to be a five-star hotel. Hey, what do you care about? Is there lion meat in the lion’s head or the wife in the wife’s cake? You didn’t catch the point of my talking to you. Live, no wonder the boss scolds you every day!"

Li Ge suddenly felt that the newcomer in front of him was very uninteresting. He originally planned to tell him about the grand occasion of Huizhong's annual meeting last year. Now he is not interested, he waved his hand and said:

"Okay, you can wait patiently for the notification, then you will know if I am right!"
