Reinventing the Millennium.

Chapter 423 What is Foresight (Two in One)

Yike's listing roadshow in Xiangjiang was quite successful.

Therefore, Xu Kaiwei couldn't wait to say that night, he could invite more investors to another roadshow the next day.

Fang Zhuo rejected the suggestion for the second round. First, he felt that there were already many organizations coming. Second, he felt that it was meaningless to call again on the spot. He couldn’t call Old Xiong to let him play the oboe.

I am not that kind of person.

The flight to Singapore was scheduled for the night of the next day, and when he arrived there, he could have a good night's rest, and the daytime was reserved for Xu Kaiwei to take Fang Zhuo around the metropolis of Xiangjiang.

Because of the increase in business contacts with Goldman Sachs, Xu Kaiwei, the president of Goldman Sachs China, has a 0.5 bearish position in Fang Zhuo's heart, which is quite impressive.

In the evening, Xu Kaiwei sent Fang Zhuo and his team to the airport. He heard that the young CEO once again rejected the rich man who came unexpectedly yesterday.

"How is the relationship between Li Xiaochao and his father?"

Fang Zhuo put down his phone, no longer surprised by the ignorance of the rich man's son, and asked Xu Kaiwei casually.

"I heard it's a bit awkward." Xu Kaiwei smiled, "Oh yes, it was said that Li Xiaochao wrote his mother's memoir this year, and then it was bought out by Zhou Kaixuan at a high price. It may be even more awkward now."

Fang Zhuo understood, and felt a little regretful that this kind of thing did not happen when Bing Xin was short of money, but the future is long and there will be opportunities in the future.

Because Xu Kaiwei had a project to do in Xiangjiang, he didn't fly to Singapore with him, so the chat content along the way gradually turned back to show business.

"This trip to Xiangjiang has been a little bit, but the investors here have left a deep impression on me." Fang Zhuo said with a half-joke, "This morning, I woke up to pick up my mobile phone, and there was a suggestion from the fund manager on it. He said He studied the prospectus overnight and believed that Yike could indeed enter the Japanese market.”

He continued: "It's okay for another investment executive to say that when he left the meeting last night, but he even sent me a text message to give me advice."

Fang Zhuo strongly complained: "Are these two people humane? That old Tian was about to cry, I couldn't bear to hear it, and finally asked me to break the contract to go to the Japanese market."

Xu Kaiwei thought to himself, didn't you take the initiative to break the contract with the Japanese president on the phone?With convincing words, and analyzing that Lexiang Electronics is completely in your hands...

He shook his head and asked, "Then, can Yike be in the Japanese market?"

Fang Zhuo glanced at the President of Goldman Sachs, he didn't include you in what he said just now, did he?
"Yike can do it, but it is not necessary. The Japanese market spends 5 cents of effort to achieve 6 cents of results, and other markets spend 5 cents of effort to achieve 10 cents of results." He explained, "Japan is the base camp of Sony. Even if you go, it's not now, Sony is in decline, and it hasn't reached the bottom yet."

"Our current focus is on high-growth markets. If other markets slow down, then consider Japan. There may be a better time then."

Xu Kaiwei listened to the young president's judgment and nodded thoughtfully.

The sun is about to fully set and the airport is here.

Xu Kaiwei gave a few instructions to the Goldman Sachs team at the end, and talked to Mr. Fang about the staged summary of this trip: "Mr. Fang, do you know how the investors of Xiangjiang will evaluate you in private after listening to yesterday's road show?"

"They said that they didn't expect people from the Mainland to be cool and far-sighted."

Fang Zhuo smiled: "This is the original private words? Mr. Xu, make sure there are no words like 'hillies' or 'make do' in it."

Xu Kaiwei said seriously: "I promise."

Didn't say no guarantee.

Fang Zhuo patted the shoulder of the president of Goldman Sachs in China, shook hands with 0.5 Xiong, turned around and boarded the plane, and led the team to Singapore, the second stop of the roadshow.

Unlike Xiangjiang who has Huanyu Capital and the United States as a business center, Fang Zhuo has no special expectations for Singapore, and only completes his work according to Goldman Sachs' suggestions.

In fact, he is more interested in the field of semiconductors in Singapore.

Fang Zhuo used Singapore as an example of the national system development of semiconductors in the previous meeting, and Bingxin also regarded it as a key country in Asia for equipment procurement.

This night, Fang Zhuo didn't read the speech, but read the analysis of Singapore's semiconductor industry in the middle of the night with relish.

However, Fang Zhuo was surprised by the enthusiasm of investors at the Yike IPO Roadshow Singapore Station on the second day on December 12th.

The banquet hall of the road show is located in the Fullerton Hotel in the central business district of Singapore. It is quite luxurious and luxurious. The history of this building can be traced back nearly a hundred years, and the establishment of the hotel was announced by the leaders of Singapore only the year before last.

The Goldman Sachs and Yike teams entered the venue in advance to make arrangements, while Fang Zhuo waited until the investors were almost all present before entering the banquet hall with the manuscript.

However, when he walked into the banquet hall, to be precise, when he stepped into the banquet hall and took two steps, all the investors stood up and applauded. The atmosphere could no longer be described as enthusiastic, but violent.

Fang Zhuo was taken aback.

This applause, this enthusiasm, what is going on?

Is it just about to start?Isn't it over?
Did I make a mistake?

Fang Zhuo took the manuscript and walked onto the stage silently full of doubts.

In fact, the banquet hall is not small, and there are only dozens of people who come here. Counting the members of the team, it is estimated that it is enough to break a hundred, but the applause really needs to slap the palms red to have this effect.

Standing on the stage, Fang Zhuo had a panoramic view of the banquet hall, and glanced at Chen Huiyao, the person in charge of Goldman Sachs.

When Xiangjiang was with Xu Kaiwei, he didn't show his dew, but he immediately started working as soon as he led the team.

Tsk, want to show off your abilities?
you say!Do you want to come to Yike!

However, Chen Huiyao was also wondering about the scene in front of him. As soon as he saw Mr. Fang's eyes, he immediately confirmed that it was Mr. Fang who had made preparations in advance.

"Hello everyone, I am Fang Zhuo, the president of Yike. I am very happy to come to Singapore. I have just felt the enthusiasm of everyone."

"This trip is called a road show, but I actually want to talk to you about the changes in the industry in today's world."

"24 years ago, Sony released the first walkman, which took the world by storm."

"To be honest, what I wanted most when I was in junior high school was a music player like this. I had been thinking about it with my family for a long time, but in the end I couldn't buy it."

"At that time, I really didn't expect to use an mp3 player to challenge Sony's walkman's industry status."

"Nearly 3 years ago, my global marketing director and I found the product director together to make the prototype of the machine. I told them with certainty that this would be a product that could shake the Walkman and even Sony. In the end, they still Do not believe."

"What they think is that it is enough to sell domestically. They never expected that today's Yike has been contacted and competed by Sony several times. But in fact, we don't care much about Sony's competition now. The real opponent is only the United States. of Apple."

Fang Zhuo glanced at the investors who were listening very seriously, and felt that the atmosphere could be relaxed.

He shrugged and said with a smile: "Because, the era of Sony is over."

Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, warm applause broke out in the banquet hall again.

Fang Zhuo didn't hold back this time. He seemed to see confusion on the face of Goldman Sachs Chen Yaohui just now. The atmosphere at the scene was a bit weird. Those who didn't know thought that members of the MLM organization came to Singapore for a travel meeting.

He interrupted his presentation, took two steps down, and asked the investor who applauded the most enthusiastically in the first row: "Hey, hey, big brother, you applaud so hard, isn't it because of Yike?"

These words caused laughter in the banquet hall, and there were sporadic applause.

What the hell is this star treatment for me, Fang Zhuo muttered to himself.

"Hi Mr. Fang, I am Gao Ruixiang, the investment director of Singapore Panshi Fund. I am very glad to be able to participate in Mr. Fang Yike's listing roadshow." The investor introduced himself with a smile, then turned to the people behind and said, "I didn't receive Mr. Fang's salary, I belong to Panshi Fund."

Fang Zhuo echoed the laughter in the banquet hall this time.

Gao Ruixiang continued: "There are two reasons for my applause. One is that I am very happy to see Mr. Fang today, and the other is that I admire Mr. Fang's vision of the market."

Two unremarkable reasons, even a bit perfunctory.

Fang Zhuo's doubts were not answered, nor did he hide his expression.

Gao Ruixiang continued: "I believe that many colleagues who came today have the same admiration as I do. Mr. Fang, did you give advice to Sony very early?"

Fang Zhuo thought for a few seconds: "There seems to be no suggestion? I have warned you."

"Yes, yes, this is it." Gao Ruixiang smiled, "In the past half a month, there has been a comment about Mr. Fang's comments on Sony that has been circulated on TV in Singapore. The source is a TV program in Tokyo. The material in it seems to be Mr. Fang. Previous TV shows."

Fang Zhuo suddenly realized.

"It's China's CCTV program." Gao Ruixiang added.

Fang Zhuo didn't need to add anymore. He knew that it was the entrepreneurial program "Win in China" that he had participated in. At that time, he did let Sony off the air... more than once.

Another investor also said: "After seeing Mr. Fang's evaluation of Sony, and watching the financial program's new material, we know that Mr. Fang has already predicted the direction of Sony's player business when the product project was established. , Mr. Fang's vision, ability, and execution are really admirable."

The cause of today's ferocious enthusiasm lies in the descriptions of investors.

The global giant Sony is the pride of the Japanese people, but its business has declined significantly in the past year. What's more deadly is that Sony's 4 financial report released in April this year showed a huge loss!

Not only that, its stock price limit also drove Japan's high-tech stocks to dive collectively, and even shocked the Nikkei index!
Therefore, under such a situation, reflections on "what's wrong with Sony" and suggestions about it have become the topic of many programs in Japan.

This kind of program has been on the air for a while, and a clip has been circulated out of nowhere and appeared on TV Tokyo's program analysis.

——Sony is a giant, but they haven't realized that the Internet age is opening up a new channel.

——The starting gun has been fired, we are running out of the first position, and there is not much time left for Sony.

Time is running out for Sony?

If this sentence was said after Sony released its loss-making financial report, it would be a more radical expression in general perception.

but……

This sentence was investigated by TV Tokyo, and I was extremely shocked to find that this was what an entrepreneur said in a Chinese TV program 2 years ago!
2 years ago, 2001!
At that time, the Chinese entrepreneurs issued a warning to Sony? !
Two years later, Sony fell, and this entrepreneur is already one of the most eye-catching business figures in China!

After such a development was reported by TV Tokyo, it immediately became popular in various programs in Japan, and then it was excavated in more detail.

——Sony has achieved great success in the walkman, and they will never give up their star products in the face of an uncertain future, and they will not bet on innovation.

——Any enterprise that cannot keep up with the times, whether it is a giant or not, may be overwhelmed by the trend.

——This is the sorrow and fear of the giants. Sony will only understand the value of this opportunity after suffering.

——That's right, just because I don't have the palm-sized M1 in my hands, the time left for Sony is running out.

It is not difficult to find the material of the CCTV program "Win in China", and Fang Zhuo made a lot of comments on Sony at the time. His words two years ago have been confirmed today, and they are becoming more and more popular in Japan.

This Chinese person not only keenly pointed out Sony's problems two years ago, but also personally buried Sony's music player business in a sense. high recommendation.

Later, the video clips from the Japanese program spread to Singapore, which also caused a lot of heated discussions.

Coincidentally, Yike came to Singapore for an IPO roadshow, so Fang Zhuo had an enthusiasm that caught Fang Zhuo off guard.

"So that's the case. Then when I go back to the hotel, I must find the video to watch. It sounds quite interesting."

Fang Zhuo understood the reason, and shook his head slightly, feeling quite emotional and curious.

"Mr. Fang, I have it in my computer, and I can watch it now. Doesn't it have a screen?" The investors in the back row raised their hands.

"Uh." Fang Zhuo glanced at the audience, saw everyone's expressions, and simply followed everyone's thoughts, and said simply, "Well, let's watch it together on the big screen. I really don't remember exactly what it was at the beginning. How did you say it?"

Soon, the video was played on the big screen.

You can see the triple watermarks of CCTV [-], Tokyo TV, and MediaCorp You Channel on it, but the picture is quite clear.

This video is marked with the timeline and program date, and the subtitles are still in Chinese, English, and Japanese. The main screen is a clip of "Win in China", and the picture-in-picture is the commentary of the Japanese program guests.

Standing under the stage, Fang Zhuo followed the investors in the banquet hall to review the clip from 2 years ago, and saw a decisive, confident, high-spirited young man appearing on the screen.

He admired it carefully, and felt a little emotional in his heart.

At the beginning, I was young, confident, and energetic, but now I am only young, confident, energetic, demeanor, taste, courage, and charm. Time flies.

Within a few minutes, the video on the big screen finished playing.

Fang Zhuo stepped onto the stage again, not knowing how to praise himself for a while.

No words here.

He had no choice but to take the initiative to applaud.

The applause in the banquet hall became warm again, and the roadshows in Singapore came and went, but there were really not many legendary figures like Mr. Fang.

Confident warning, buried with one's own hands, has been discussed in many Japanese programs.

What happened to Sony?
Sony is not very good, it just met Mr. Fang.

What else do we need to say about such a road show?
Watch the video, watch Mr. Fang, and see what is far-sighted!

Mr. Fang, this is called far-sightedness!

　Three more tomorrow.
