Reinventing the Millennium.

Chapter 401 Saying You Need Help Just Need Help (Two in One)

If Fang Zhuo remembers correctly, Xu Xiaoping of New Oriental and Shen Nanpeng of Ctrip have both become excellent investors in the future.

But now he is immune to celebrities, especially in investing. Old Xiong is also known as the "Godfather of Investing".

All future tenses are present tenses.

Now that these two entrepreneurs insist on investing, it is uncertain whether they will be able to embark on the road of investment in the future. However, they may become more brilliant. After all, they can really be taught a lesson.

——Investment is risky, and you need to be cautious when entering the industry.

——Inside information is just news, and never means it is a fact.

That night, Fang Zhuo knew why Xu Xiaoping insisted on investing stubbornly.

He began to receive more calls from investment institutions, asking about the first round of financing of the ice core project.

While Fang Zhuo responded cheerfully and normally, he figured out the root cause of this situation.

The reason has not been covered up much. It is no longer a secret that the ministries and commissions drafted plans for key projects, or in other words, this matter was not kept too secret.

Therefore, people who heard the news through various channels made a simple judgment on the ice core.

——1. Internationally renowned investment institutions such as Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, DCM, and IDG are all optimistic about Bingxin.

——2. The high level has policy support, and the local government is willing to fully participate.

——3. Fang Zhuo, the president who has proven his ability, is in charge of the business operation, and Qiu Ciyun, the former senior vice president of SMIC, is in charge of the technical aspect.

——4. The domestic semiconductor industry has a trend of accelerated development, and SMIC is close to listing.

The final conclusion is that you can vote as soon as possible, and there will be no store after passing this village!
Fang Zhuo received nearly ten investment calls overnight, some were secretive, some were straight to the point, some belonged to institutions, and some were purely individuals.

At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, he charged his mobile phone and recalled the enthusiasm he felt tonight, leaving only one feeling in his heart.

This prosperous world is as I wish.

……

The next day, Fang Zhuo went to Changhong Ni Runfeng's dinner.

Originally, he wanted to bring Wang Yan, the president of Sina, to cheer him on, but after thinking about it, he didn't involve the hard-working president, and only brought along the biographer Liang Mu who was very interested in this matter.

On the way to the car, Liang Mu wanted to chat with the boss about Changhong, but Mr. Fang was on the phone with Xiong Xiaoge the whole time.

Approaching the hotel, the call finally ended.

Liang Mu hurriedly asked, "Mr. Fang, is Mr. Xiong unwilling to take over those investments?"

"I am willing, but not completely willing." Fang Zhuo said relaxedly, "But it is not up to him, who made him agree to Xu Xiaoping and Shen Nanpeng? I pushed all those phone calls last night to IDG Over there, let them come in with the shell of IDG, the old bear has already made an opening, just make a financial product directly."

"Xiong is always worried about the background of those people?" Liang Mu asked again.

Fang Zhuo did the math: "The average cost of a call is 300 million US dollars, and the ten companies that have been brought in also have 3000 million US dollars, which is quite a lot. The previous investment amount for IDG was 1.25 million US dollars. This has already wiped out the odds and relieved a lot of pressure."

"As for the backgrounds of these people, they are not particularly big, otherwise they wouldn't be Qiufeng who came to me to work on projects. The really difficult backgrounds are to play other things. They don't bother with a foundry, and the money is slow. "

Liang Mu nodded silently, and said optimistically, "With a few more investments like this, it will be easier to raise funds."

"It's almost the same. There are not so many people who have money but have no place to spend it. It's beyond my expectation that I can raise 3000 million in this way." Fang Zhuo said lightly, "We still have to focus on the big households. .”

Liang Mu understood, how to kill a chicken with a sledgehammer, sharpen the knife and rush to the big family.

At 04:30 in the afternoon, the Audi car arrived at the destination.

Fang Zhuo met Ni Runfeng, the head of Changhong again.

"Brother Fang is really good recently. I heard that your project is going to be registered in the Ministry?" Ni Runfeng smiled and mentioned the news that had been circulating in the capital for the past two days.

"It's not settled yet, Mr. Ni is really well informed." Fang Zhuo shook hands with a smile, and introduced, "This is my secretary Liang Mu."

Ni Runfeng took a closer look, the secretary-general looked old.

He also shook hands, and also introduced Qu Zhifei, the vice president of Changhong beside him.

Today was Fang Zhuo's appointment for a meal, but Ni Runfeng had to arrange it by himself in whatever way he said in the previous phone call.

A few people greeted each other for a while, and after they were seated, they chatted about dishes, liquor and even investment.

When Fang Zhuo talked about investment, others could only listen to it, so they enjoyed it.

After chatting for a while, secretary Liang Mu got up and refilled the wine glasses of the four of them.

Ni Runfeng smiled and said, "I've heard that Brother Fang's reputation for being good at capital operations is indeed well-deserved. However, you still have to be cautious if you want to engage in semiconductors now. I heard that this thing is not easy."

Fang Zhuo nodded: "It's really difficult. If it weren't for the people from SMIC to help me, I would never dare to enter the venue. I can be regarded as inspired by the spirit of SMIC Zhang Rujing and Mr. Zhang. He came to the mainland from Baodao. not easy."

Ni Runfeng commented: "I have never met Mr. Zhang, but I heard from my brother that Mr. Zhang is very broad-minded."

Isn't it? It not only transports talents, but also inspires spirits. It is also a competition among peers. This kind of mind is not unreasonable.

Neither Ni Runfeng nor Qu Zhifei felt that there was any problem in understanding.

Fang Zhuo smiled slightly and said, "Indeed, I have always used Mr. Zhang as my role model for advancing in the semiconductor industry."

"In the future, I must meet Mr. Zhang." Ni Runfeng said with a hearty smile, "I admire a person like him who came from Baodao to help."

Fang Zhuo then talked about SMIC again, but he never mentioned the chip foundry that Ni Runfeng mentioned last time.

He didn't intend to talk about this at today's dinner, and he didn't intend to talk about the new foundry and the market terminal Changhong's joint fight for the right to speak in the upper reaches of the industry.

Judging from his personal experience, it is easy to be misunderstood by bringing his own interests into Changhong's predicament. Ni Runfeng should ask for help in order to better take the initiative.

After a few more glasses of wine, Ni Runfeng still brought up Changhong.

What else can corporate talkers sit together to talk about, that is, talk about their own children.

He took a sip of his wine and sighed: "The development of the Internet is really booming. Our domestic semiconductors are supported by the state, and it seems that they will rise soon. Brother Fang has chosen two good tracks. Unlike us, the color TV industry competition is getting tougher.”

Fang Zhuo blinked: "The last time I heard Mr. Ni talking about the APEX company, Mr. Ni should prepare in advance now, lest something really happen."

"We are prepared, but what we are facing is the competition of the entire industry, otherwise I would not have made a strategy to go overseas." Ni Runfeng said, "Facts have proved that our products are also competitive overseas."

Fang Zhuo has the same feeling on this point: "Many consumers in the United States are also very sensitive to prices. This is not just Mr. Ni's color TV, nor is it just our Yike player. It is a positive factor for our country's manufacturing industry to participate in global competition. .”

Ni Runfeng nodded seriously, agreeing with this conclusion.

He heard the name of the APEX company, but didn't talk about it, and went on to talk about the competition in the whole industry.

As Fang Zhuo listened, he thought about how he could offer some help in New York, but he couldn't hear the head of Changhong talking about going overseas, nor did he hear the anxiety he felt last time.

Could it be that he came back to the capital to get help?
An idea came to Fang Zhuo's mind, thinking of the information Liu Yangyang had collected.

However, even if he got any help and promises, those things might not be able to solve the fatal problem for Mr. Ni.

Fang Zhuo took a different angle and said: "Generally speaking, the country's policy on manufacturing is good, and the leaders are also very concerned about it. I really felt this when I came to the capital to meet the leaders."

Ni Runfeng said cheerfully: "Mr. Fang went to Gongxin for a meeting, and the results will be seen in the newspaper soon."

Fang Zhuo also replied with a smile: "Yes, I am also waiting. There are indeed reporters who want to interview, but I have recently pushed them away. Mr. Ni, your trip..."

He deliberately paused: "I'm seeing Director Song, it seems that the small problem that Changhong encountered will not be a problem soon."

Ni Runfeng was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect to hear the words "Director Song" from the mouth of the young president, and instantly lost his drunkenness.

Director Song just retired this year. He visited this leader whom he had a good relationship with in Sichuan Province in the past few days to seek support in private. It stands to reason that there will be no rumors. in the ear.

The head of Changhong suddenly became a little reserved: "Yes, Changhong's overseas strategy has proved to be effective, and the current problems can be solved. If that APEX delays payment, we will go through legal procedures."

Ni Runfeng laughed twice: "Speaking of this problem, I still have to ask Brother Fang for help."

Fang Zhuo replied steadily: "Mr. Ni, please tell me."

"You Sina, can you pay attention to the impact when you write news?" Ni Runfeng became more serious, "If you don't understand something, report it, completely ignoring the possible adverse impact on our company."

Fang Zhuo pondered: "I originally wanted to bring Sina's President Wang Yan here today, but he has something to do, otherwise he can explain the news strategy himself. To be honest, even though I am the chairman of Sina now, I am actually such a big guy. The company, I never care about the specific business."

"What I provide to Sina is stable control, so that everyone can concentrate on development."

Ni Runfeng understood that this was in line with his imagination, and Mr. Fang's age was still placed here.

He shook his head and said: "Some reporters think that the wind is like rain, just like the APEX company in the United States. In fact, the problem is not big. Fang is always in business, and he knows that we must take preventive measures, lest something really happens. response."

Fang Zhuo said without changing his expression: "Yes, that's right. Foreign companies have to abide by the law. You can't be afraid to deal with them just because they are abroad. In fact, from my experience, this kind of companies are also very afraid of experienced responses."

Mr. Ni made APEX's problems smaller and smaller, and the entry point for Changhong's dilemma was not easy to cut into.

Judging from today's overall atmosphere, today's head of Changhong is more relaxed than before, probably because he has seen the leader - even the retired leader gave him a good judgment.

Fang Zhuo evaluated it in his heart, and stopped trying to find a way to proceed, and only regarded tonight's dinner as an ordinary occasion to get acquainted.

The atmosphere quickly heated up again. Fang Zhuo didn't mention Changhong's dilemma, and Ni Runfeng never mentioned the distribution difficulties. The two presidents of different ages had a good chat, and finally ended the dinner at 09:30.

"Mr. Fang, Mr. Ni's attitude is very calm." Liang Mu talked about what he had observed on the way back.

"Well, I'm afraid I got some false hope, and it's not necessarily false. I'm being arbitrary." Fang Zhuo reflected on himself, "I think the biggest external problem of Changhong is APEX. At the same time, its internal problems are not small. But that's just my personal judgment."

After all, I just read through Changhong's annual reports for the past five years, collected Ni Runfeng's strategies and statements in the past year, and collected media reports related to Changhong, that's all.

If there is any external help, it is not impossible.

Just like what I have to do, it is also the help provided by external forces, but it may be more targeted and produce better results.

Fang Zhuo reviewed the situation of Changhong after reviewing the information he knew, but still felt that there were many problems.

He made another judgment: "Even if we get help, Ni Runfeng's management buyout will definitely not be realized. At most, his rights in Changhong will be guaranteed. This is the best ending."

"That's why it's so hard to keep it as it is? No, Changhong can't keep it as it is." Liang Mu said.

"This is the risk of his methods." Fang Zhuo shook his head, "Ni Runfeng's work is too rough, and he sent his daughter to APEX to serve as a director. It is too much to criticize. It is because the media did not disclose this matter, otherwise immediately It was a storm."

"Dealing with a problematic distribution company, even if there is an exchange of benefits, it is too naive to expect to completely influence the other party's decision."

Fang Zhuo thought for a few seconds, and added: "I can't say I'm naive, I can only say I was blinded by interests."

Many ridiculous operations are driven by profit behind and luck, and this time Changhong and APEX are no exception.

"Boss Fang, what should we do now? Continue to contact?" Liang Mu asked again.

"No, it will take a long time for the ice core production line to be completed. Just wait. I don't think Changhong can get through this smoothly. Our side is calm. Wait and see, if Ni Runfeng wants to cover up the problem instead of solving it , it will only become more violent." Fang Zhuo said slowly, "At that time, he needed help more and was more passive."

Liang Mu took down the boss' statement about Changhong.

Fang Zhuo thought about Ni Runfeng's performance today, thought about it, and decided to ask Sina for news reports about Changhong.

News must be true, must be objective, and must not be influenced by external forces. What should be reported must be reported, but this is an internal force.

If Changhong has a problem, it must truthfully state it, and even conduct an in-depth investigation.

If there is no problem with Changhong, of course it is also very good.

Since Ni Runfeng may have obtained a certain promise that he can keep Changhong's foundation with his own strength, let's see if this is the case.

Anyway, Fang Zhuo felt that Mr. Ni probably misjudged, and he should still need some friendly help.
