Reinventing the Millennium.

Chapter 497 Personal Friendship (Two in One)

It takes more than six hours to drive from Lin'an to Luzhou.

Fang Zhuo and his party set off at one o'clock in the afternoon and arrived at the place just in time for dinner.

Along the way, Fang Zhuo switched three identities, Diamond King Laowu, Dangdang investor, and chairman of Bingxin.

Regarding the introduction of Lao Qiu, although it is unlikely that he will be brought to the marriage problem of the older generation who talked about it, it is indeed considered after the stable stage of Yike's successful listing.

When Fang Zhuo was sitting in the car thinking this way, he couldn't help but reflect on the words in his mind - consideration.

When it comes to relationships and marriage, do we still have to use business thinking to deal with it?

Is it a stage where you have to think about personal issues, or is it a stage that you really enter because of emotional needs?
For example, Tao Shuyao introduced by Lao Qiu, does the other party or behind the other party also regard each other's resources as weights at both ends of the balance?
Thinking of this, Fang Zhuosi felt quite helpless, and people's hearts were far away from him. Nowadays, pure emotional pursuit is not so realistic.

People, when you have no money, you look down on feelings, and when you have money, you think about purity.

The experiences of the two lifetimes are faintly intertwined in my heart.

Halfway through the drive, Fang Zhuo put aside the thoughts that hindered him from doing things, took out his mobile phone and called Yu Yu, the female head of Dangdang.com.

He cheered up and said straight to the point: "Mr. Yu, I met Mr. Li in Lin'an this time, and I also met the aggressive president of eBay."

"eBay regards Dangdang as a competitor, and is extremely optimistic about the domestic e-commerce market. I think Dangdang should not only not be afraid of competition, but also increase its efforts."

"Although President Li is very familiar with the field of books, this is a subdivided field after all, which can be expanded appropriately. Yike is very optimistic about Dangdang, and I am also very optimistic about the future of domestic e-commerce."

Fang Zhuo said so, waiting for Yu Yu's response.

There was a few seconds of silence on the phone.

Yu Yu's first reaction did not exceed Fang Zhuo's expectations, but still disappointed him.

"Mr. Fang, we have talked before that Yike Investment does not interfere with Dangdang's operations."

Only this sentence represents the true thoughts of Dangdang's husband-and-wife store, so there is no need to analyze the politeness that follows.

Fang Zhuo chatted with him for a while, just to kill the boring drive, and finally ended the call with a sigh.

Zhao Zhishan, the secretary in the co-pilot, could clearly hear Mr. Fang's voice.

Looking at the boss' expression from the corner of his eye, he said cautiously, "Mr. Fang, Dangdang's business strategy is more cautious."

"Well, they are very cautious. They need to observe the competition situation this time." Fang Zhuo shook his head slightly, "Mr. Yu said that there are multiple B2C plans, but they should have their own strategic steps."

He continued: "Mr. Yu thinks it is okay to burn money, and we should burn it carefully under Dangdang's control."

Zhao Zhishan thought about the implications, and asked after a while: "Dangdang has doubts about the follow-up funds?"

"It's not all financial concerns." Fang Zhuo hit the nail on the head, "Yu always believes that I am optimistic about e-commerce, but I don't believe that I will be so optimistic about e-commerce. If Dangdang dares to burn money to occupy the market at this juncture, whether it is Amazon B2C is still Ali Taobao's C2C, I fully support it."

Zhao Zhishan's heart was shocked. Mr. Fang's full support might not only be the support of Yike, but also take the lead in bringing the support of many friends and organizations.

This kind of effort is worth ten thousand dollars, and it will certainly change the current pattern of e-commerce.

Instead, she understood Mr. Yu of Dangdang, and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Fang, as your secretary, I didn't even know that you were so optimistic about domestic e-commerce. normal."

Part of the money that Dangdang received from Yike Investment was used to stabilize its shareholding ratio. If it really wanted to continue burning money until the end, Dangdang might have a surname problem.

Zhao Zhishan believed in his heart that the boss's investment in Dangdang was due to his optimism about e-commerce, but even so...

For example, with the increase of Yike’s investment, Dangdang made mistakes in the process of burning money and expanding. At this time, the boss with recognized ability and vision sent a team to give correct guidance. How should Li Guoqing and Yu Yu deal with themselves?
Was there any possibility of mutiny inside Dangdang at that time?
Zhao Zhishan still believed from the bottom of his heart that the boss would not have such a malicious plan, but it was not guaranteed. Yu Yu and Li Guoqing believed that Sina's experience and lessons were worthy of vigilance. Not doing anchovies...

Can you not make people feel small?

Zhao Zhishan sorted out the relationship and understood the boss's regret and regret.

According to this situation, according to Mr. Yu's reaction, even if the boss wants to give full support, he has to consider whether he will be entrusted to others.

"Mr. Fang, it really doesn't work. Let's do it ourselves." Zhao Zhishan suggested, "Don't talk about defeating international giants like eBay and Amazon, you will always be able to compete with Dangdang and Taobao, right?"

"It takes too much energy." Fang Zhuo has considered this question for the past two days, and he has already come up with a negative answer, "E-commerce is another field. At the very least, we have to wait for Bingxin to figure it out."

Of course, this does not prevent us from making a hasty layout with the help of the medical department to see the future.

If you really want to get involved in this field, I am afraid that you need better timing and more adequate preparations.

Fang Zhuo didn't talk about this topic anymore, Dangdang didn't want to, so it was still regarded as a financial investment, and he just waited for it to go public and make a fortune.

He slowed down his thoughts, picked up the phone and started communicating with Qiu Ciyun from Luzhou.

At present, the construction of Ice Core's factory in Luzhou is going smoothly. The pouring of the waffle board was completed at the end of March. The main factory will be capped soon, and the next step is the positive pressure air supply in the clean room.

Some of the equipment has also arrived in Luzhou. Regarding the approval of equipment procurement from the United States, Qiu Ciyun made two plans. If Mr. Fang goes well in June, everything will be fine.

Fang Zhuo talked about the purchase of equipment halfway, but what he really wanted to inspect when he arrived in Luzhou was the treatment of the engineers.

For the Bingxin project, when it comes to technology, even if there is a lot of conventional knowledge, it is only superficial. Apart from funds, what Fang Zhuo can do is to knead the staff wholeheartedly, and treat the engineers as his dearest comrades in arms.

That night, Fang Zhuo, who arrived in Luzhou, did not disturb the always enthusiastic local leaders. He just had a simple dinner and came to a hotel discussion with Qiu Ciyun and other Bingxin executives to hear about the difficulties everyone is facing now.

Money, people, equipment.

In addition to the lack of the old three, technology running-in and introduction are also important and complicated things.

According to Qiu Ciyun's contacts, Belgium's technology introduction is more reliable, which is also his experience in SMIC.

However, certain patented technologies also require the approval of the United States, which involves the inherent phenomenon of long-arm jurisdiction.

Qiu Ciyun has already led the team to Leuven, Belgium, and now he has to wait for Mr. Fang's situation in the United States. At the same time, because he has seen the current patent situation of SMIC, he may have to do some necessary business processing.

After all, the people Qiu Ciyun brought over from SMIC are also familiar with TSMC's technology.

After chatting for a long time that night, Bing Xin's executives all lost weight compared to the last time they met, which made Fang Zhuo both distressed and full of respect.

But what can I say?

Take a break, let's take our time?
Don't work so hard, just enjoy life after taking the money?

Of course it can be like this. Ice core digging is to pay high prices in the industry at this time, but since they come here, many people just want to make a career and contribute to the weak domestic semiconductor industry.

Among them, some from SMIC, who were born in Taiwan earlier, are comparable to many engineers in the mainland, and a few engineers from overseas are also quite affected by the atmosphere.

Anyway, whether it is for money or for the industry, everyone knows that only by effectively operating the ice core production line can we stay here for a long time.

Judging from the feelings of Qiu Ciyun, the executives and the second day's inspection, Fang Zhuo felt that Bing Xin was really popular at this time.

The next night, the news that the richest man in the Mainland inspected the ice core was still known to the leaders. Secretary Luo Minghua drove over directly, took Mr. Fang by the arm to fulfill his promise, and planned to cook for himself and have a drink or two.

Fang Zhuo repeatedly refused.

"Mr. Fang, I know you don't like socializing. Today, we are not socializing." Luo Minghua insisted, "Whether it's Bingxin or Changhong, I thank you from the bottom of my heart."

"As for me, I'm so old, you don't mind, let's talk about personal friendship tonight."

It's really not good for the secretary-general who can rank in the city to talk like this, so Fang Zhuo can only postpone the plan to return to the application, and then discuss personal friendship with Brother Luo.

Luo Minghua did what he said, and he really pulled Chairman Bing Xin to his home to cook four dishes for him.

Just...how should I put it?

Even if you know that people intend to get closer, but you can do this to this extent, what can you say?
Fang Zhuo was eating food and sipping wine, now he was afraid that when the door opened, another pretty daughter of the Luo family would walk out.

Fortunately, this did not happen.

Three rounds of wine.

Luo Minghua called President Fang "Brother Fang", and Fang Zhuo called Secretary-General Luo "Brother Luo".

This dish and wine are like a seal that stamps legal principles on personal friendship.

Luo Minghua basically didn't talk about business affairs, but cared about the education and security of the families of Bingxin employees in Luzhou earnestly and briefly, um...it was a matter that poked Fang Zhuo's mind.

In the end, the interest in talking with each other was almost exhausted.

Luo Minghua smiled and chatted about one thing: "Oh yes, brother Fang, last time you called me in Tokyo, the mentioned Mr. Hu Zhengda Hu, he seems to have no contact with us in Luzhou, I want to provide investment policies I can't make it through."

Fang Zhuo was taken aback, he was too busy with things, so he didn't follow up on this.

He pondered for two seconds and said: "Mr. Hu holds an important position in TSMC. I'm afraid it won't be clear for a while. I'll inquire again. If a semiconductor industrial cluster can be built in Luzhou, I'd like to see it." to a win-win situation.”

Luo Minghua nodded again and again, it was considered to have mentioned this once, and he will not continue to mention it.

After the private family dinner was over, Fang Zhuo returned to the hotel and asked Mr. Hu about his IC design and entrepreneurship project that he cared about.

Hu Zhengda, vice president of marketing of TSMC, wants to cross fields and get involved in IC design, seeking both investment and preferential policies in the Mainland.

After Fang Zhuo met the parties in Tokyo, he greeted friends from investment institutions and was willing to provide convenience to Mr. Hu.

But, Mr. Hu doesn't seem to want to use this line.

"Mr. Fang, I really paid attention to you." Xiong Xiaoge didn't feel any resentment when he was contacted late at night. Instead, he said in a very orderly manner, "It's not that Mr. Hu didn't look for investment, it's because he didn't look for me."

"What do you say? What's the rumor?" Fang Zhuo was a little strange. Judging from the Hu Zhengda he came into contact with, he should still be short of start-up funds.

"He got in touch with Pengcheng's policies, and also got in touch with the venture capitalists there." Xiong Xiaoge gave a clear message, "I was told by Mr. Zhou Zisen from Dachen Venture Capital."

Fang Zhuo greeted his domestic investment friends in Tokyo, and Xiong Xiaoge, a veteran mainland investor, also helped to let his friends pay attention.

As for Dachen Venture Capital, it is itself an institutional shareholder of Medical Sciences, and one of the besiegers who followed Mr. Xiong's anger into Hang Lung 23.

In addition, the full name of Dachen Venture Capital is Pengcheng Dachen Venture Capital Co., Ltd., which is the first batch of domestic venture capital institutions established in accordance with market-oriented operations in Pengcheng.

When Hu Zhengda came into contact with the policies of the city of Pengcheng and looked for investment institutions here, he ran into the arms of Dachen Venture Capital.

The investment circle in the mainland is not big, and Fang Zhuo and Xiong Xiaoge pay attention to this news. Except for the two or three companies that are really at odds with each other, everyone else is willing to save face.

In particular, as Fang Zhuo said, Hu Zhengda stepped into the field of IC design, which he was not responsible for before. This project belongs to the group that is not optimistic.

"Strange, really strange." Fang Zhuo frowned when he heard that, "I have a heart for Boss Hu, and I have a good start with his brother, why bother to avoid me like this?"

"Actually, I didn't avoid it." Xiong Xiaoge smiled, "For his project, I guess Pengcheng is not willing to invest much, and the amount is not right. If Mr. Hu bumps into a wall a few more times, he may come to you. "

Fang Zhuo gave a "hmm" and said, "I'm just a little puzzled."

"What's so puzzling? When someone wants to start a project, does he want to be tied to Bingxin from the beginning? If you want to create an industrial cluster, he just wants to be recruited by you?" Xiong Xiaoge said straight away.

"Old Bear, you have experience." Fang Zhuo sighed.

Xiong Xiaoge felt that there was a meaning behind the words.

Fang Zhuo made a small request: "In this case, Mr. Xiong, if a friend of yours asks, can you express your dislike for this IC design project?"

"I really don't like it, so you just like it?" Xiong Xiaoge asked, and added, "You tell the truth."

"I think it's worth it even if it's used to bring me closer to his brother. Moreover, if this project fails, this guy has done a good job at TSMC. It's also very beautiful to bring in Bingxin to make a 'brother soldier'. "Fang Zhuo told the truth.

"You've tried every means to make ice cores like this. Really, Mr. Fang, if it doesn't work out, it's purely God's will." Xiong Xiaoge recently paid attention to SMIC's patent lawsuit, and it was a feeling.

Fang Zhuo sneered: "I will return to Shencheng in two days, and then fly to the United States. If the procurement approval is not passed by then..."

"What do you want?" Xiong Xiaoge asked.

Just waiting for the opportunity to pull the fuse of public opinion on US subprime debt to relieve the hatred in my heart.

"Hurry up and sell the equipment, come back to start real estate, live in extravagance, dream and die, and this life is not in vain." Fang Zhuo said seriously.

"Mr. Fang's personal life is so simple, and I, Old Xiong, don't approve of it." Xiong Xiaoge joked, "I would be the richest man in the mainland, and I would have long ago..."

Fang Zhuo asked, "How?"

"I've already invested in all the projects I'm optimistic about." Xiong Xiaoge thought enviously, "The higher the risk, the more money you invest. Don't be afraid of losing money, just invest."

Fang Zhuo: "..."
