Chapter 2192: A New Idea

Zhao Fusheng had his reasons for changing his itinerary.

Soon, the convoy arrived at Future Technology.

Dong Guoxiang, having received notice from Liu Yiming, was already waiting at the entrance with his team.

"Chairman."

Seeing Zhao Fusheng get out of the car, Dong Guoxiang approached and greeted him respectfully.

"Let's talk inside."

Zhao Fusheng smiled and walked ahead, taking the lead.

The group soon arrived at the conference room. Zhao Fusheng listened to the recent work reports, inquired in detail about the company's operations, and then dismissed everyone, keeping Dong Guoxiang behind.

"Weren't you supposed to go to the company today?"

Dong Guoxiang asked Zhao Fusheng with some surprise.

He naturally knew Zhao Fusheng's schedule. Originally, according to the plan, he was to report to Zhao Fusheng today, but unexpectedly, Zhao Fusheng had come directly.

"I changed my mind on a whim and decided to come take a look."

Zhao Fusheng said with a smile.

This was the truth. Originally, he hadn't planned to come to Future Technology, but on a sudden impulse, he decided to visit.

"Oh?"

Dong Guoxiang raised an eyebrow: "Something up?"

In his view, Zhao Fusheng wouldn't change his itinerary to see him for no reason unless there was something important.

Zhao Fusheng smiled and nodded: "I thought of something and wanted to discuss it with you."

"Go ahead."

Dong Guoxiang's expression shifted slightly.

Something that made Zhao Fusheng so cautious as to come specifically to discuss it with him was certainly no small matter.

After all, based on his understanding of Zhao Fusheng, the man always planned carefully and prepared for the future.

Unless he was absolutely certain, Zhao Fusheng wouldn't bring it up lightly.

"What do you think about using the YY Voice system to create a platform?"

Zhao Fusheng asked Dong Guoxiang.

YY?

Platform?

Dong Guoxiang was taken aback, looking at Zhao Fusheng in surprise.

He really hadn't thought of that.

In fact, since the launch of YY Voice, although it started as an instant messaging software for game communication, gamers spontaneously began performing singing and other content on this voice communication tool, turning YY Live into a UGC video live streaming platform.

According to a report Zhao Fusheng had seen earlier, Future Technology's technical staff had calculated that YY Live users had formed a user base comparable to that of game users.

It was because of this that Zhao Fusheng thought of turning YY Voice into a live streaming platform.

He knew better than anyone how popular the live streaming industry would become in the future.

Having the opportunity to be a pioneer in the entire industry, Zhao Fusheng didn't mind.

"What do you think?"

Seeing Dong Guoxiang silent, Zhao Fusheng asked with a smile.

Dong Guoxiang didn't answer immediately but sat there pondering Zhao Fusheng's words.

Clearly, this idea caught him off guard.

After all, in Dong Guoxiang's mind, he had never considered this direction.

Zhao Fusheng wasn't in a hurry. He sat there, casually picked up a newspaper, and started reading.

He knew that Dong Guoxiang would need to weigh the matter carefully and consider its feasibility.

As the boss, he could just voice his ideas and not worry about the rest, but Dong Guoxiang, as the actual operator and manager of Future Technology, had to consider not only profitability but also whether the company had the capability to run the project, the costs involved, and its feasibility.

After a long while, Dong Guoxiang looked up at Zhao Fusheng.

"So, have you thought it through?"

Zhao Fusheng chuckled, speaking to Dong Guoxiang.

Dong Guoxiang nodded: "Yeah, it's feasible."

Then he added, "But implementing it will still be somewhat difficult. After all, although YY's user base seems large now, it actually doesn't exceed a million."

As the general manager of Future Technology, he knew the data better than anyone.

"No need to rush."

Zhao Fusheng smiled and said to Dong Guoxiang, "Users can be cultivated. This is just a start. If you think it's worth doing, then you can begin operations."

"Alright."

Dong Guoxiang said, "I'll arrange for someone to follow up on this project."

...

...

Having accomplished his purpose for coming, Zhao Fusheng chatted with Dong Guoxiang for a while, teased him about his love life, and then left.

He was always like that—work when it's time to work, rest when it's time to rest.

Without special reasons, Zhao Fusheng wouldn't concern himself with the operations of subsidiaries; he would only hold the subsidiary heads accountable.

When problems arose, responsibility fell where it belonged.

The next day, Zheng Yao came to see him.

"You want Future Technology to start a new project?"

Zheng Yao asked Zhao Fusheng directly.

Such matters would naturally be reported to the group headquarters by Dong Guoxiang, since if Future Technology undertook this project, the group could provide support.

"Yeah, I have that idea."

Zhao Fusheng nodded and smiled at Zheng Yao, "What, you think it's inappropriate?"

He thought Zheng Yao had come to advise him against being too hasty.

"Inappropriate?"

Zheng Yao looked at Zhao Fusheng in surprise, "You thought I would oppose?"

"Ah?"

This time it was Zhao Fusheng's turn to be surprised.

He really hadn't expected Zheng Yao to have no objections at all.

"Why would I oppose? It's Future Technology's project after all." Zheng Yao said with a smile, "Since Dong Guoxiang agreed, it means it's feasible. If even he thought it wasn't viable, he wouldn't have agreed."

Zhao Fusheng was amused. Indeed, what Zheng Yao said made sense.

That was Dong Guoxiang's character—though his abilities might not match those of so-called geniuses, his strength lay in his steadiness.

Simply put, if he felt something couldn't be done or had no chance of success, even if it was Zhao Fusheng's idea, he would cautiously raise objections.

Moreover, his objections would be well-founded and convincing.

Conversely, if he thought something was feasible, he would work hard to make it happen without anyone having to tell him.

That was why Zhao Fusheng entrusted Future Technology to him with confidence.

Because Dong Guoxiang's greatest strength was his composure.

For a company's leader, being enterprising might be a good quality that helps the business move forward, but being steady is also an excellent trait.

After all, sometimes, without sufficient steadiness, one could suffer great losses.

"So why did you come to see me?"

Zhao Fusheng looked at Zheng Yao with some confusion.

Zheng Yao revealed a slight smile: "Actually, it's nothing major. I mainly wanted to say that if this live streaming project is done well, it might represent a new development direction for our company."

"Wait, I don't quite understand what you mean."

Zhao Fusheng frowned. Zheng Yao's words puzzled him.

Zheng Yao explained, "It's simple. Don't you think the internet is developing too fast?"

Wait!

Zhao Fusheng suddenly realized what Zheng Yao meant.
