"Xiao Zhou, you haven't understood the ins and outs of this matter, but that's right, Xiao He likes to be mysterious." At the dinner table, Zhou Hong said to Zhou Yan with a smile.
"I don't understand it a bit," Zhou Yan said. Xiao Muyan left, but Zhou Hong and Zhou Yan were drinking alone.
Zhou Hong and Zhou Yan clinked glasses and said with a smile: "This time, it can be considered a big move."
"China Mobile has been trial-operating 4G networks, but due to pressure from China Unicom and China Telecom, it has been unable to obtain a 4G license for official operation. As you will know this week,"
"Clear, Chairman Lu of the Lu Group told me about this." Zhou Yan mentioned Lu Zhengrong calmly.
Zhou Hong's eyes were a little more surprised. He didn't expect that Zhou Yan even knew Lu Zhengrong, but that's right. They all work in the capital circle. Zhou Yan could let qS and Huayu Capital jointly acquire YY and swallow up 360's The foreign shares were given to Zhou Yan. The background of the young man in front of him should not be underestimated.
Zhou Hong continued with a smile: "Xiao He has a special status and plays the role of a middleman or agent. If 360 wants to go public, it needs the power of cmc. Xiao He can help bridge the gap. But again, there is no free lunch in the world. 360 We also need to contract the network security protection work of communication companies." Zhou Yan had some ideas at first, but now that Zhou Hong said it directly, he became much clearer.
It is estimated that cmc itself has the intention to invest in 360, and Xiao He used this to completely get cmc on board of 360. In Zhou Hong's view, this is a powerful boost to the listing. Xiao He used this as a bargaining chip in exchange for Zhou Hong's 4G license issue. on support.
One of the important reasons why 4G licenses have been delayed is network security. Zhou Yan doesn’t know much about it. He only knows that once 4G is opened, it will mean the end of the network card era and the domestic Internet will officially enter the wifi era.
By then, the traffic used in a month will not be 100M, but a few G, hundreds of G... Users' traffic demand is rising slowly, and China Mobile will also take the opportunity to make a lot of money.
In the end, China Unicom and China Telecom must have compromised, and changed from resisting to joining. After all, the traffic cost is really good. Even if the 4G base stations are not established, the two major operators can push the policy direction to benefit them. Regarding 4G There are three types of licenses. In the previous life, even if China Mobile had the first-mover advantage, it only got one of them. The other two were obtained by China Unicom and China Telecom. China Mobile wanted to get them but was slow to approve them. This is another kind of balance. .
Now that Xiao He has pushed 360 to agree to the security agreement, one of the worries about 4G licenses has been solved.
Zhou Yan doesn’t know what Xiao He will be able to achieve in the end. Maybe the approval of 4G licenses will still last for a long time, but Fetion should be stable.
"In fact, we don't need to care about what Xiao He will do next. If 360 can be successfully listed, it will be up to you, brother Zhou, whether you cash out or continue to hold it. Anyway, before the listing, our shareholders are almost fixed, and we won't Then accept other financing." Zhou Hong said kindly.
In fact, in a true sense, he is the one who enjoys the benefits. The outbreak of the 3q war also made Zhou Hong understand that no matter how good he is in 360 security protection, he will still be in trouble if he is targeted by other companies.
If the superior department had not intervened this time, 360 would have been beaten to the ground by Penguin, and Zhou Hong would still have lingering fears.
He also knows that there is no way out by just making free security software. Transformation is necessary, but to what extent and to what model it will be transformed, Zhou Hong is still a little confused.
Of course, during the period of confusion, Zhou Hong still fought hard with Penguin as always, including acquiring YY, fighting wars of words and lawsuits with Penguin on major media platforms, and cooperating with Zhulang to develop WeChat. Anyway, he would have the Penguin mentality anyway. I never tire of it.
But just like that, Zhou Hong still found it uninteresting. He also wants to make progress, but it is of no use just trying to manipulate his opponent's mentality. As a result, his opponent is still developing steadily, while 360 is stagnant.
Then Xiao He came up and showed him a way. That is a complete transformation to security protection. Zhou Hong was hesitant at first, but considering Xiao He's background, he also understood the deeper meaning.
This is a protective umbrella, an umbrella that can make 360 invincible. What Penguin can't do, 360 can do and reap huge benefits from it, so why hesitate.
I don’t want to compete with you anymore, I just jumped out, it’s that simple. What Zhou Hong saw was a broad road. Even if he knew that he might be deeply tied up in the future, it didn't matter.
He has reached the peak of 360 and is getting older. In this case, being practical is the most important thing.
You penguin keeps wandering, and I, Zhou Hong, am just lying down to make money. Isn’t he delicious? Seeing Zhou Yan's silence, Zhou Hong said with a smile: "Brother, there are specialties in the art industry. Let's be the boss honestly and let the specialized people solve the matter." Zhou Yan smiled at this time: "So Brother Zhou is Are you going to go ashore?" Zhou Hong: "You can think so, I may engage in military industry in the future, who can say for sure." Zhou Yan nodded: "Then it is better to merge yy's business into Wechat Technology and do business with 360 Split it, and then we will split off part of 360's shares in WeChat Technology and let Brother Zhou hold it. How about this?" Zhou Yan's meaning is also very simple. Anyway, you also want to fish for retirement and make money while lying down. , then don’t do any other business, just exchange it for shares so you can make money, and I will worry about the rest.
Zhou Hong heard what Zhou Yan meant. He didn't expect that this young man had already acted so impatiently and exposed his thoughts directly.
He laughed, knowing that Zhou Yan was also a sweet-tempered person: "It's okay, 360 will definitely undergo a complete transformation in the future. It's better to put YY in 360 and give it directly to you, brother Zhou."
"But Brother Zhou, you have to help me operate it and let me exchange some more WeChat shares." Zhou Hong said with a smile.
"That's natural." Zhou Yan didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Anyway, it was just a matter of changing the 360 holdings to Zhou Hong's holdings. He could also dilute more shares out of it.
It can be regarded as a py transaction. This also let Zhou Yan know that Zhou Hong really wanted to get out. He had changed from an entrepreneur to a boss, or... capital.
It may not be a kind of identity transformation. Zhou Yan didn't say much to Zhou Hong. Maybe Zhou Hong didn't even know what he wanted. After all, Xiao He wouldn't reveal anything to Zhou Hong because of his urine.
When it is merged into YY and Fetion, not only Zhou Hong will know about it, but even Penguin's pony horse will know about his plan. By then, it will be too late to save anything.
It's an information gap.
"Brother Zhou, let's not talk about this. You happen to be in the capital. How about we go get a massage to relax?" Zhou Hong said with a smile.
"Green?" Zhou Yan asked.
"Haha, it must be green, but they are all tender and comfortable to press." Zhou Hong said with a smile.
"That would be disrespectful." ...After talking about work with Zhou Hong, Zhou Yan also experienced the customs of the North.
If you really want to evaluate it. That means tender hands, crisp voice, careful selection, gentleness and caring. Of course, there's no color, it's just an ordinary spa massage, but the service level of the ladies is different, so the experience will naturally be different.
After taking a bath, of course everyone went back to their respective homes. Xiao Muyan was waiting at the door of the club while Zhou Yan got in the car.
"I've bought a ticket for you, just go back and wait for the news." Xiao Muyan said.
"When will the tickets be available?" Zhou Yan asked.
"Tomorrow's."
"Aren't you going to the business reception tonight?" Zhou Yan asked with a smile. He saw that Xiao Muyan had changed into casual clothes, and he guessed that the little girl had also given up on her thoughts.
"It's boring. I won't go. My vacation is over and it's time to return to Hongcheng." Xiao Muyan said decisively.
It seemed as if he was afraid that Zhou Yan would regret it. Zhou Yan could always see the character of a child from Xiao Muyan's indifference, or maybe he was a child himself and was just pretending to be mature.
In terms of mental age, he is seven or eight years old than Xiao Muyan. A proper primary school student. Xiao Muyan didn't say anything else along the way. When they were about to arrive at the hotel, Zhou Yan said, "Why don't you go back today?" Xiao Muyan stopped the car and looked at Zhou Yan with a bit of impatience in his eyes, as if he was saying, "What are you doing?" I didn’t tell you earlier.
Zhou Yan actually thought it was quite interesting to toss this little girl. He said nonchalantly: "I still have some things to do in Hongcheng. I've stayed too long and I have to go back early."
"Then go directly to the airport."
"Don't care about your brother?"
"He's in Hong Kong City." Xiao Muyan said angrily. Zhou Yan didn't expect to be able to find out some of Xiao He's whereabouts.
But even if he knew, he couldn't participate because it was not on the same level. ...At the airport, Zhou Yan and Xiao Muyan were sitting next to each other in business class.
Xiao Muyan began to close her eyes and rest her mind since she got on the plane, as if she didn't want to pay attention to Zhou Yan. Zhou Yan has a restless temper. After the plane took off, he asked: "How many years have you been working?"
"Are you a curious baby?" Xiao Muchan opened his eyes and glanced at Zhou Yan.
"Just asking."
"Three years."
"I'm going to work right after I graduate."
"Um."
"Do you have a boyfriend?" Xiao Muyan rolled his eyes. Why did she get such a bad job? Seeing that Xiao Muyan remained silent, Zhou Yan smiled and said, "Being single is not a shameful thing." Xiao Muyan: ....This man is so mean.
Still familiar. If she hadn't been wearing a seat belt, she might have punched him. Really good at talking.
"I have an idea to open an investment company and I need some talents. Are you willing to change jobs?" Zhou Yan asked at this time.
Xiao Muyan twitched the corners of her mouth. But Zhou Yan still didn't answer. He even turned his head to the side and looked out the window, as if he didn't want to talk to Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan found this look quite interesting, much like his girlfriend quarreling and engaging in cold violence. But Xiao Muchan didn't want to talk to him, and he wouldn't ask for trouble.
Simply close your eyes and rest your mind. So for the next two hours, Zhou Yan didn't say a word to Xiao Muyan.
On the contrary, Xiao Muyan couldn't help but glance at Zhou Yan, wondering why he was still so enthusiastic, but now he was as taciturn as her.
She was even thinking that Zhou Yan only lost interest in her for three minutes and was too lazy to talk to her anymore.
But thinking about it this way, Xiao Muyan felt a little uncomfortable. He pursed his lips and looked out the window. The plane was still flying in the sky, and there were acres of farmland below.
The scenery was beautiful, but without Zhou Yan talking beside him, Xiao Muyan still felt that something was missing. The plane quickly landed at Hongcheng Airport.
Xiao Muchan's car was parked in the airport parking lot. Zhou Yan and Xiao Muyan got off the plane, and Xiao Muyan resumed his job as Zhou Yan's driver.
Zhou Yan didn't say a word all the way, occasionally playing with his mobile phone, and occasionally closing his eyes to rest. Compared with before, they were two extremes, and Xiao Muchan felt a little uncomfortable.
"Hey, where are we taking you?" Xiao Muyan couldn't help but ask in the end. Zhou Yan ignored him. He closed his eyes at this time and pretended to be asleep.
Xiao Muyan always felt that Zhou Yan was ignoring her on purpose and curled his lips, thinking that he shouldn't ask more questions.
Subconsciously, he glanced at Zhou Yan again. The afterglow of the setting sun hit the man's profile. He had sharp edges and corners and looked quite handsome in his quiet manner.
After calming down, Xiao Muchan started driving the car seriously. There was no communication along the way and she felt somewhat bored.
"By the way, just go down to the opposite intersection." Zhou Yan said.
"I can take you to school." Xiao Muyan said.
"No need, someone will pick you up." Zhou Yan said directly. Xiao Muyan felt a little coldness from Zhou Yan, she frowned slightly, but still said yes.
Stopping at the intersection, Xiao Muchan saw a BMW x6 parked. She was confused and saw a woman wrapped in a snow-white cotton-padded jacket and wearing one-piece black stockings walking out.
Su Yourong? Xiao Muyan recognized who it was at a glance. Vice President Su of Huayu Capital. Zhou Yan got out of the car at this time and took out the suitcase from the back of the car.
"Bye." Zhou Yan said. Xiao Muyan saw Zhou Yan walking towards Su Yourong. Su Yourong greeted Zhou Yan with a smile, and then Zhou Yan got in the car.
She felt that her existence was somewhat unnecessary. It even gave rise to the illusion that the man had been snatched away. She took a deep breath and cleared away the absurd thoughts in her mind.
Pick it up, just pick it up, be pure. ...
"Going to the capital?" Su Yourong asked with a smile while driving.
"Well, I'm on a business trip." Zhou Yan said.
"That night..."
"Stay at your house." Zhou Yan said directly.
"You're not straightforward at all." Su Yourong said helplessly after giving Zhou Yan an angry look. To be honest, she also missed Zhou Yan sleeping on her body. After Zhou Yan left and slept alone, she felt that something was missing. Of course, it would be better if this little man didn't touch her.
"I'm very direct, okay." Zhou Yan said with a smile, not forgetting to ask: "Is Xiaohan at home?"
"Not here." Of course Su Yourong knew what Zhou Yan was planning. Sure enough, Zhou Yan burst out laughing: "That's just right." Su Yourong always had a sense of being occupied by a dove, as if Zhou Yan was the man of the house. She pouted and asked: "Don't you I think I’m addicted to being a brother-in-law.”
"Then your sister must recognize me." Zhou Yan said casually. Su Yourong's face looked a little unnatural: "But we...we don't have anything."
"Whatever it is, it's up to everyone." Zhou Yan said nonchalantly. Su Yourong also smiled: "Whoever talks to you has his own issues."
"By the way, when exactly are you going to Hangzhou?" Zhou Yan asked.
"I'll go tomorrow afternoon. If you come back tomorrow, I won't be able to pick you up." Su Yourong said. She didn't know that Zhou Yan would go to Hangzhou on the 26th, and she thought she wouldn't be able to see Zhou Yan for a while, which made her feel a little reluctant.
"That's it." Zhou Yan didn't tell Su Yourong that he was going to Hangzhou to participate in the national competition soon, and he was not in a hurry.
"Then I will go to Hangzhou to see you." Zhou Yan said with a smile.
"You keep your word." Su Yourong said half-jokingly. Zhou Yan will definitely not come to Hangzhou specially to see her. Xiaohan is starting a business with Zhou Yan, and he will probably visit her when he goes to Hangzhou to play games.
Zhou Yan didn't say the specific time, and she wouldn't ask. The atmosphere was more or less silent.
"If you really want to go, will you sleep with me?" Zhou Yan asked at this time. Su Yourong pursed her lips slightly when she heard Zhou Yan's words.
She didn't know why, but Zhou Yan's face felt hot when she asked this question.
"Think...what are you thinking about?" Su Yourong said a little unnaturally. She and Zhou Yan were best friends, and those who didn't know it thought they were friends. Although the two had no actual relationship in bed, she had helped so much.
We also discussed business several times. Just by saying this, the atmosphere became a little ambiguous again. At this time, Zhou Yan also put his hand on Su Yourong's leg.
You can directly feel the unique touch and temperature of black silk. Su Yourong's body stiffened and her legs tensed up, as if she was a little nervous.
Zhou Yan was still acting recklessly, and the temperature of his palm was very hot. Just by covering it, Su Yourong was mostly on guard.
When she was lost in thought, Zhou Yan's hand also touched the base of her leg and gently rubbed it on the inside. Su Yourong's breathing became rapid, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she couldn't suppress the shame rising in her heart.
She could only whisper in an almost begging tone.
"What are you doing? You're driving."
