"I must have had a grudge against Wang Yulan in my past life. I'm not sarcastic this time, but we're just at the same table, and it's like she doesn't know me. What's going on? She can't make fun of me like she used to, and she was defeated by my gaze, so she just acted like an ostrich and buried her head in the ground!"
Xie Feibai called Cheng Ran and talked about the family dinner a few days ago. Wang Yulan was no longer as domineering as before and ordered him around. But his cousin had a sour face and simply ignored him, so she just kept ignoring him across the table.
But what Xie Feibai didn't tell Cheng Ran was that when he met Wang Yulan, he said to her, "If I had known you wanted to interview Cheng Ran's father, you should have told me. Why bother with all the fuss and send your father to find my father? Is it necessary to owe such a favor? Or should your father owe it? Why bother? Just rely on yourself. Just say one word, and I, your brother, will do the job for you."
Wang Yulan's expression remained unchanged at the time, and she maintained her dignity as the cousin of the highest status. But in fact, her lips turned pale with anger. When Cheng Feiyang became the president of the Rongcheng Federation, many media in Rongcheng wanted to get first-hand frontline reports from such a person who brought up Fulong Company, but Cheng Feiyang did not accept any exclusive interviews from any media. At most, he would say a few words when he was stopped at the venue.
Anything that can be said is taken to the media and treated as a treasure. The media and newspapers naturally pursue social heat. The major newspapers in Chengdu only have their own backgrounds. Generally, they state their purpose. If they are from a company or enterprise, they can get free publicity, which is what they want. But Cheng Feiyang is just like this. He just refuses to accept the interview. When you come to the big newspaper, you play Tai Chi and let the vice president of Fulong Company, who is good at dealing with people, deal with it. The real person just doesn't show up. He is either on a temporary business trip or politely declines.
Logically speaking, the big newspapers with backgrounds are the ones you should never offend, otherwise these newspapers will have some people who specifically look for your flaws and mistakes, and sooner or later you will suffer. But it is different on Cheng Feiyang's side. This low-key attitude makes the big newspapers respect him a bit. For a company that has a golden signboard like the flood control and disaster reduction geological disaster early warning system, and now that Shanfeng is unique in the field of communications in the province, it is a typical example of the government's propaganda department's hottest target. No newspaper dares to make any moves behind it.
Some things are the general trend. How could the presidents and party committee secretaries of these newspaper groups not see the situation clearly
Therefore, facing the willfulness of the CEO of Fulong Company, you can only give in even if you are a forceful mouthpiece.
The Internet has developed rapidly at the end of this century, and its momentum can be described as swift. However, the access servers installed on the telephone switches in the telecommunications room were originally foreign technologies that only supported the No. 1 signaling. This type of access server was responsible for connecting users who access the Internet through telephone lines to the Internet. It could no longer meet the needs of the rapidly developing Internet in China. The No. 7 signaling standard access server with large capacity and the ability to speed up the transmission of telephone signals was successfully developed by Fulon.
When telecommunications departments in various places expanded access server equipment as the number of Internet users increased dramatically, the A8 access server developed by Fulon just met the requirements. When the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications formulated the national access server standard this year, it used Fulon's access server as the industry specification.
The Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications made a well-considered decision to use the large-capacity equipment developed by Fulon for the Chinese market, which has improved the Internet bandwidth and directly increased the backbone network speed by 16 times. In the biddings of various provinces and cities this year, Fulon A8 servers have been invincible, with frequent successes in the market and continuously winning bids from various provinces and cities. This momentum means that Fulon has defeated multinational companies in the new generation of access servers and occupied most of the access server market share.
This is more prestigious than Cheng Feiyang becoming the president of the Chengdu Enterprises Federation. This is real strength.
What is the significance of Fulong launching the A8 access network server? You should know that before this, the multinational giant StarData had a market share of 90% in China's Internet backbone equipment, and the Chinese market was almost monopolized by StarData. The equipment cost $1,000 per Internet user, and even the plastic cable ties used during equipment installation were priced at one dollar each. A single construction could produce a list of materials as long as a hospital stay. These prices were eventually passed on to Chinese families who went online. The Internet fees for some family users once reached tens of thousands of yuan a month.
However, as soon as Fulun's A8 access server came out, the price of similar products and equipment was only a few hundred yuan per household, and the materials for installation were given free of charge. Fulun's equipment quickly gained ground as soon as it was launched. Multinational companies such as Star Corporation cut their prices one after another, and the high Internet dial-up fees were brought down in this way.
But in fact, most people don’t know the significance of this, how the situation evolved step by step, and the massive market benefits of Fulong’s access to the server. The media in Sichuan Province could not remain indifferent. They wanted Cheng Feiyang to come forward and tell their story, and all the media were vying for help.
Wang Yulan is now a marginal person with little presence among business daily reporters, and her space and status are being increasingly squeezed. She originally entered the major newspaper because of her family connections, but later she realized that in this industry, that background and connections don’t carry much weight, and in the end she still has to rely on her own abilities to make a living.
Newcomers worship their masters, but it is common that the master starves the apprentice to death. In this industry, new journalists start by working in the Yellow Pages and 114 directory, but it often takes several years to get ahead. Which old master is willing to hand over the information sources and connections he has accumulated with great effort to newcomers? Connections are nothing more than favors. Favors are a give-and-take relationship. There is no gain without giving. Everyone needs to firmly grasp these in their own hands to be safe.
Connections are your gold veins, and no one would be willing to let their gold veins be poached by those below them.
Moreover, because of her personal appearance, Wang Yulan often received hints from the "master", but she had to pretend to be nice to him. Sometimes she would hide away and cry, and then have to go out into the social scene the next day.
But ever since she knew that her brother's family knew Cheng Ran, this idea has been lingering in Wang Yulan's mind. If she could first interview Cheng Feiyang, who is not popular among any media outlets in Chengdu, and get a first-hand interview with her name on it, then she might be able to complete the journey that some reporters take ten years to complete in one step.
At this point, she, who had always been noble in her heart, went to her father and asked Xie Houming for help. The result came back quickly, and Cheng Feiyang agreed to accept it. The reason why Cheng Feiyang agreed was not entirely because of Xie Houming, but more likely he also needed to say something and make an official statement at this time when the access server was winning the championship in various provinces and cities. But these are not important anymore.
Cheng Feiyang's exclusive interview will fall on her.
In fact, when Wang Yulan informed the newspaper, she encountered some setbacks. The newspaper took it very seriously, and even a director wanted to insert a gold medal reporter to share a piece of the pie. He was even more worried that Wang Yulan would mess it up. But Wang Yulan took the initiative to tell Cheng Feiyang that he would only accept interviews with her, and everyone else would be turned away. The superior used both soft and hard tactics, and seeing that Wang Yulan was not an easy person to deal with, he thought that relying on authority to suppress her might end up in vain, so he compromised.
Wang Yulan still remembered the anxious look on the editorial director's face when he was asked by the president to draw up a planning process and he came to help with the discussion. Thinking of the director's affable look who was usually respectful to big reporters and treated the lower-level people like cattle and horses, Wang Yulan felt surprisingly comfortable.
The president of Fulong Company really has such power.
So when Cheng Feiyang finished the interview, it was only natural for Wang Yulan's family to invite Xie Houming to dinner. But Xie Feibai just wouldn't let her go, and his words even had an attitude of "you deserve this day". She could no longer criticize Xie Feibai like she did in the past, so she swallowed her anger. As for the fact that she, who was so tough as to not tolerate any sand in her eyes, could actually turn a blind eye to Xie Feibai, it is conceivable that Xie Feibai must have been so disgusted with her at that time that she simply cut off the fuse to protect herself.
When Xie Feibai talked to Cheng Ran on the phone, Cheng Ran could almost imagine Xie Feibai's proud look in front of Wang Yulan. It was normal for her cousin to ignore her.
It's hard for this pair of funny cousins.
Cheng Ran also knew that his father, who had never accepted interviews, would accept an exclusive interview with the Business Daily behind Wang Yulan, which meant that certain things would be cleared up and the truth would be revealed.
Just as the exclusive interview with Wang Yulan's father entered the intensive editing process of Chengdu Business Daily, the content of the interview was about how Cheng Feiyang founded Fulong Company from scratch and achieved what Cheng Feiyang said at present, "a small step of success", which was enough to make the outside world look forward to it.
During this period, Cheng Feiyang asked Cheng Ran to wait for the security department, or Chen Wenguang, his number one bodyguard, to pick him up after school.
So every day Chen Wenguang drove the old Santana to take Cheng Ran to No. 10 Middle School, and then waited for him outside the school gate after the evening study and took him away.
This November, the news that had shocked Chengdu for the entire summer last year was finally settled as people in Chengdu spread the news to each other.
On the 9th, Lei Wei, the former chairman of the Rongcheng Xinlong Group and the main criminal of organized and led a criminal gang and committed intentional homicide, was sentenced to death in accordance with the law.
At the same time, the exclusive interview report "Living towards death, he is forging an iron army! Fulong boss Cheng Feiyang" flew across the streets and alleys like snowflakes in late autumn.
I am in Japan, attending the Starting Point Salon event. I may have updated the above questions.
I have been thinking about this for a while, and I will start writing next. It is time to enter a new journey.
