Reinventing the Millennium.

Chapter 422 Passionate (two in one)

Fang Zhuo's first call to Mitsu Tanaka ended.

He reached out to take a glass of water from his assistant, took two sips, and observed the expressions of everyone in the conference room.

Some people were discussing in low voices, some were flipping through the prospectus, some were pressing their phones, but most of them looked very satisfied.

Fang Zhuo was not at all surprised by the effect of this half performance.

Who are these investors in the conference room?

Could it be that what they want to see today is a kind, lovely, innocent and well-behaved company president?
No, all they want to see is a ruthless money-making machine.

On this basis, whether it is insidious and cunning, whether it is playing with the rules, whether it is a political and business relationship, or whether it is self-made, it does not matter.

If you are gentle, courteous and thrifty but don’t make money, this group of people will praise your character in person and then sell your stocks.

You would rather lose the world but make a lot of money. These people will scold your humanity in private and then buy your stocks.

As long as the stocks invested in are profitable, everything is satisfactory.

"This call is for Sony. It happens that it's not the morning working hours in New York. Stringer should be able to get through."

While looking for the number, Fang Zhuo laughed at himself: "Look, we have different status, now I have to consider whether it is convenient for my partner to answer the phone."

Although Mitsumi Tanaka's flustered performance just now made many people feel pity, but now seeing Mr. Fang about to call Sony's American president, they immediately put aside their pity and waited for the call to be connected with smiles on their faces.

Well, the first phone call didn't go through, which made some people frown, wondering if the young president was boasting.

But Fang Zhuo redialed without changing his expression.

Passed this time.

"Hi, morning, Stringer." Fang Zhuo spoke first, "According to my custom, I want to ask you, have you eaten yet?"

Stringer heard Huaxia Fang's voice, and said with a smile: "After eating, Fang, then I also want to ask you, how is the weather over there?"

"The weather is good. I'm in Xiangjiang. I can see the moon outside the window, and I can also see the moon's reflection in Victoria Harbour. It's very beautiful." Fang Zhuo took two steps to the French window with the phone in his hand, and he could enjoy the view of Victoria Harbour. scenery.

"Xiangjiang is very nice, I am very impressed with that city." Stringer said, "If you stay in Xiangjiang for a while, maybe I can meet you for afternoon tea in Xiangjiang in the near future."

"Are you coming to Xiangjiang? I probably arrived in New York before you came to Xiangjiang." Fang Zhuo asked.

Stringer said veiledly: "I may go to Tokyo to enjoy the scenery of Sony."

He just became Sony's vice chairman this year, but Sony's global business is not very good.

When Fang Zhuo heard the word "Sony", he was chatting about Tokyo, which he hadn't been to, while thinking about how to cut into the key issues.

In the conference room, the young president and the president of Sony America chatted on the phone, but many people present listened with interest, as if this was some touching scene, and no one urged Mr. Fang to show the partnership.

How can this be shown?

Small talk like this already shows a lot!
Look at Fang Zhuo's face to that Japanese just now!

Even if Stringer is polite, and even if the president of Sony America hasn't come to work yet, his attitude has already broken most of the doubts.

Even if Yike is positioned as a distribution channel according to what Di Yan said, it is also a big and respected channel!
It's human nature for a president to say a few big words before the company's listing. Why is the little vice president who followed Li Xiaochao so strict?
"Stringer, I called you today because I have something to do. I thought about it and asked you directly." Fang Zhuo didn't find the point of entry, so he just cut to the chase.

Stringer said with a smile: "I don't think there is any need to be so serious about other things except getting Sony Music out of the Yike board of directors."

The in-depth cooperation between Yike and Sony Music lies in the fact that the latter owns 10% of the shares of the former, which was the condition for music copyright cooperation at the beginning.

"I'm doing a listing roadshow here in Xiangjiang." Fang Zhuo said, scanning the meeting room, and found that many people sat up straight unconsciously after hearing this sentence, "Stringer, I need to explain Yi Ke’s iMusic and Apple’s iTunes will have a great impact on the music industry, and will profoundly reshape the industry’s system.”

Stringer gave a "hmm" and waited for the next step.

"Do you agree with this statement?" Fang Zhuo asked straightforwardly.

Stringer pondered for a while, and replied: "iMusic and iTunes are rooted in the development trend of the Internet. I like your statement that the Internet is a breakthrough in technology and a choice of the times. Its combination with other industries is inevitable outcome."

He answered the question head-on: "I agree with this statement. Recently, I have also been thinking about the combination of the Internet and Sony. How to rejuvenate this company, Fang, what do you think?"

Stringer likes to communicate with young people, and Fang Zhuo is quite recognized. In the limited communication, he was surprised by the vitality of the other party's thinking.

"Stringer, you don't want to ask me about the combination of the Internet and movies, do you? I don't know much about this." Fang Zhuo smiled, knowing that Stringer is not only in charge of music, but also in the field of movies.

Stringer accused: "Fang, you are not sincere. You should know that I gave up half the breakfast time to answer your phone call. Also, my cat is already impatiently waiting for me to groom it."

"That's it... Sony's current decline is indeed serious, and I have some fragmented thoughts on this." Fang Zhuo looked at the conference room thoughtfully.

Everyone listened quietly, like a group of clay sculptures.

Li Xiaochao frowned, as if he had also been substituted into thinking about Sony.

Wu Zheng, Yang Lan, Liang Qihua and others are all preparing to listen to the "fragmented ideas" of the young CEO.

As for Xu Kaiwei, there was only a smile on his face, as he said earlier, it was just a road show, how could Mr. Fang fail to grasp it?

"Let's meet and chat. Yike will be listed soon. Remember to buy stocks at that time. I am very confident. We will have a new machine launch conference next time. I will personally host the release." Fang Zhuo said with a smile.

"Then remember to give me the invitation letter, I want to be there to see your new phone." Stringer didn't force it. He has also heard a lot of ideas about Sony recently, but apart from ideas, Sony's internal changes are very important, which is very important. Give him a headache.

The call is over.

The president of Sony Music personally admitted that Yike and Apple will have an impact on the music industry, and also confirmed Fang Zhuo's statement of "reshaping the system".

What could be more convincing than this?

One is the president of an industry giant, and the other is the vice president of Xiangjiang Investment Department. No one would think that the thinking between the two is in the same dimension.

Then, the previous doubts from Di Yan's mouth seemed a little ridiculous against the backdrop of such a phone call.

Fang Zhuo put away his mobile phone, did not go to the vice president of Liyingke, took two steps, and joked first: "I made two unplanned calls tonight, so please keep the unplanned confidentiality. If word spreads about me calling or something, I'm not going to admit it."

Laughter erupted in the conference room.

Xu Kaiwei was about to applaud.

"Mr. Xu, don't, don't applaud, I haven't finished yet." Fang Zhuo quickly stopped the president of Goldman Sachs, and re-described seriously, "I just said that this is a reshaping of the music industry system, and it will have a profound impact .”

"Usually, such a statement means that it will take a long time."

"But this time is different. In other words, everything related to the Internet will be very fast. I said that my industry sales forecast for 04 was three times that of 3 million units, but I didn't mention 360."

"I personally think that in 05, that is, the next year, the sales volume of the entire mp3 player is likely to exceed 2000 million units."

Fang Zhuo reached out and drew an arc in the air: "Then, continue to maintain this growth rate."

"Our goal is to replace the walkman as the most suitable music player for consumers in this era, and the demand for electronic products that has exploded in this era is likely to exceed everyone's imagination."

"iMusic and copyrighted music are the moats of our products, but the energy of the product itself will not be lower than the profits brought to us by music."

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity given to Yike by the times, and it is also an equally once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in front of you today."

Fang Zhuo's consistent posture is already a different demeanor in the eyes of everyone.

The previous young man was a company owner from the mainland who was doing business in the United States. Although he looked good, his taste in clothes was only average.

The current young CEO is a business elite who actively expands overseas markets and has a global layout. Not only is his ability and appearance top-notch, but he also wears a low-key style. He looks like someone who puts his energy into his work.

Applause rang out in the meeting room for the first time, and Di Yan applauded embarrassingly. Seeing that her boss, Li Xiaochao, was also applauding, she gradually became uneasy.

The Q&A session continues.

What happened next was really not as sharp as what Xu Kaiwei said.

"Mr. Fang, what is your Yike's corporate culture?"

"Oh, we are Making Progress."

"Mr. Fang, do you think Yike's market value will surpass that of Sina?"

"Good question. Since the spread of my answer is likely to affect Sina's stock price, I suggest that you can hold these two stocks. I am very confident."

Fang Zhuo answered the questions one by one with ease, making people remember the identity behind his first brother on the road show.

The business elite, the chairman of Sina, the president who is a fish in water in Shanghai, and good at operating various capitals, the combination of so many elements adds some convincing personality charm.

Some people still lamented in their hearts that Mr. Fang did not seem to be from the mainland, but more like a character from Big Wave Bay Road on Hong Kong Island.

The atmosphere of the road show changed from clear water to enthusiasm, and finally ended smoothly.

From this point of view, Di Yan of Yingke turned the mediocre road show into a memorable one.

At the end of the road show, potential investors left one after another, verbally expressing their optimism for Yike stock.

"Mr. Fang, remember to come to my show when you return to Shencheng." Yang Lan still didn't forget this before leaving.

Fang Zhuo smiled at her: "You have to keep a low profile in Shanghai, try your best."

Yang Lan didn't invite any more.

Li Xiaochao came to Fang Zhuo when the people were almost gone.

"Mr. Fang, the road show is great. It's almost the best road show I've seen in recent years." Li Xiaochao praised.

Fang Zhuo laughed twice, but didn't speak.

"Di Yan missed Yi Ke. It was her mistake at work, and she will be transferred later." Li Xiaochao said again.

Di Yan's face was not good-looking, but she just took the blame in a low voice: "Mr. Li, Mr. Fang, it was my mistake in work, and it was because I didn't analyze Yike's business model well."

Fang Zhuo looked at Li Xiaochao very strangely, and said, "What does this have to do with me?"

You deal with your own employees, what did you bring to me?
Do you want me to ask for help?
When he thought about it, this might really be the case, so he really said: "If Mr. Li punishes Mr. Di because of my relationship, then there is no need. Everyone will make mistakes in their work, just like a good friend of mine. One of his mistakes or mistakes is destined to be laughed at by me for the rest of my life."

Li Xiaochao asked curiously, "What mistake?"

"He sold the shares in Tencent." Fang Zhuo laughed.

Li Xiaochao: "..."

His Yingke was also the one who sold the shares at the beginning. Did the president of Yike do it on purpose?
He restrained his emotions, nodded slowly and commented: "Well, Tencent, not bad."

Little Superman stopped talking about his employees, waved at her, and signaled to leave first, and then Fang Zhuo sent an invitation: "Mr. Fang has done a great job on both Sina and Yike. Can you please Mr. Fang to show respect to me tomorrow night? Give Fang Zong the wind."

If it's your dad, I'll give you face and listen to his land acquisition plan in the interior.

Fang Zhuo smiled slightly and refused: "I'm busy before the listing, I will definitely next time, maybe I will fly to Singapore tomorrow."

"Hey, you're very ignorant." Following Li Xiaochao's female companion, she spoke up to defend the rich man.

Fang Zhuo glanced at the woman whose name he didn't know, then at Superman in surprise, at the woman again, and at Superman in surprise, as if to say—what's the matter?Just take this kind of woman by your side and lose your identity?Is this the son of the top rich man in Xiangjiang?

He looked around like this, didn't say a word, and seemed to have said everything.

Li Xiaochao didn't change his face when he talked about Tencent's investment, but his face turned ugly.

"I'll ask Boss Fang for advice later when I have time." He left with his female companion.

Fang Zhuo waved goodbye with a smile.

"Aren't you dealing with this guy?" Xu Kaiwei walked over and asked.

"I don't know each other, I haven't dealt with him before. I may have a little trouble with his father, but it's not too bad. Maybe his father has forgotten who I am." Fang Zhuo laughed.

"Then he had a bad face when he left just now." Xu Kaiwei asked.

"Oh, I know how to show face. I told him that if his girlfriend can't give birth to a son, he will leave happily." Fang Zhuo said seriously.

Xu Kaiwei didn't believe it, but he half believed it when he saw Fang Zhuo's expression.

real or fake?

Nonsense, right?

However, the conversation between young rich people may be so boring, it is not accurate.

……

Yike's road show in Xiangjiang ended.

That night, Yike and the Goldman Sachs team had a small meeting.

An investment executive who did not attend the meeting returned to the hotel room and immediately called Ctrip's Shen Nanpeng. He followed Ctrip's listing project for a while, and now he is following Yike's listing roadshow.

"Mr. Shen, Ctrip is right to postpone the listing."

Shen Nanpeng asked on the phone: "How do you say?"

"Xiangjiang's road show is very popular!"

Shen Nanpeng asked again: "How does Mr. Fang do the road show?"

"Uh, yes, it's a very special kind of phone call. It's hard to say, but it's very popular."

Shen Nanpeng asked: "?"

What new style is this?

"Anyway, the road show is very effective. I think some fund managers asked Yike to enter the Japanese market before they left. Mr. Shen, Ctrip has postponed it very well this time. Just wait for Yike to go public."

Shen Nanpeng: "Well..."

Then why don't you also buy Yike's stock?

Although, I have invested a sum of Mr. Fang's ice core through IDG...
