Reinventing the Millennium.

Chapter 801 Sub-debt Signs (4K)

Dr. Liang returned to China to participate in the meeting. Fang Zhuo thought about it and handed over the matter to Liu Yangyang in China.

Liu Yangyang is now the secretary of the board of directors of Ice Core, and also shoulders the post of secretary-general of the Ice Core Wafer Manufacturing Service Alliance. Meetings of well-known syndicates are no problem.

The lead time is not long, but industry conferences can be real.

At the same time, Fang Zhuo also asked people to conduct a back-up on Gao Qiquan recommended by Dr. Liang, so as to facilitate future communication.

He is full of enthusiasm for every semiconductor talent, whether it is his own or others.

On January 1, Zhou Xin, the president of the medical department, finished his business trip to the United States and flew to Silicon Valley to meet his boss.

Fang Zhuo asked Xu Keden when he was worried that the lack of himself would affect the progress of the R&D center.

Xu Keden said that even though the boss went to play, even though he lost a very important R&D talent, the top and bottom of the R&D center will work together and resolutely not affect the progress.

Therefore, Fang Zhuo also accompanied Zhou Xin to watch the Warriors' home basketball game.

Zhou Xin had never watched a game live before, but this time he was very interested.

It was not until the intermission, when his freshness wore off, that he talked about his recent work in the medical department.

In the past two years, in addition to developing its own business, the medical department has also launched some medical and equipment projects. This year, a cochlear implant has made great progress in localization. It is hoped that in the second half of the year, it will start clinical trials on volunteers over six years old. test.

"Brother Fang, this market is not big, it is estimated that there are only a thousand people a year."

"Foreign cochlear implants are mainly developed based on English, plus treatment, examination, and rehabilitation. A set costs 40 to [-] yuan."

"The localization of our product is estimated to save half of the money."

"If it can be promoted into medical insurance in the future, it will be even less."

Zhou Xin talked about the progress and looked forward to the further development in the future.

Fang Zhuo was very happy to hear that, thinking about the implication of these words, he pondered: "I am afraid it will be a little difficult to be included in the medical insurance in the past few years. When I return to China, I will seek relationship consultation with the leader."

"At present, it would be great to simply lower the price. It is said that the market is not big, but in fact, there are not many patient families who have the conditions to go to the hospital."

"I believe that as the domestic quality of cochlear implants increases and the price decreases, more and more people in need will be able to use them in the future."

He looked at Yao Ming who was walking towards him from the sidelines, and expressed his feelings: "Sometimes I feel that the localization and industrialization of different fields, making expensive ones cheaper and making cheap ones better in quality, is also a kind of romance. Xin, I have always thought that you are more solid than others, and I am not as good as you."

Zhou Xin saw Dayao, stood up and smiled and said, "Brother Fang admits that he is not as good as others, then I can go back and brag for the rest of my life. Anyway, with Brother Fang's support, I don't care about the size of the market. If I can do it and maintain it, then I will Make a bold decision and let everyone do it.”

He looked up at Yao Ming: "Dayao, hello, I'm Zhou Xin, can we take a photo together?"

Yao Ming shook hands politely and agreed to take a group photo.

Fang Zhuo held up the Nokia and took a picture of Zhou Xin who was struggling on tiptoe.

Afterwards, he smiled and said, "Come on, Zhou Xin, take a picture of me and the sad-faced Dayao too."

Yao Ming was being teased. He spread his hands and said helplessly, "Mr. Fang, this year's injuries are too difficult."

In this match between the Rockets and the Warriors, only Yao Ming played in the Trident. Both Nash and Carter were rested due to injuries. There are still two months before the end of the regular season, and the three of them don't have much time to be on the court at the same time.

It is difficult to win the championship, and it is even more difficult to defend the title. In the pursuit of three consecutive championships, luck must also be considered in addition to strength.

And, the mentality of the core players will change unknowingly. The team and Carter have discussed the issue of contract renewal, but he intends to enter the free market in the summer. Most of the factors are not money, but status in the team.

In short, the Rockets' health is not good this year, and their morale is average. They currently rank fourth in the Western Conference, only winning one game more than No.5.

In fact, as the boss, Fang Zhuo's own mentality has also changed. The two champions, hey, are already pretty good, and, through the team, he also got a lot of off-court items, which are even more worthwhile.

"Why don't I ask the media gangsters? To stimulate fighting spirit?" Fang Zhuo asked in consideration, "Then I will make a three-peat declaration? Record the three-peat testimonials for you one by one? Break the boat?"

Yao Ming: "Uh..."

Injuries are objective, and you have to recover slowly, and your fighting spirit can probably be adjusted.

Carter will be able to play at the beginning of next month, and Nash may be at the end of the month, leaving the Rockets with at most one month of running-in time.

Fang Zhuo looked at Yao Ming's hesitation, and suddenly said sternly: "No, I can only do this at most, and I can't do anything to find league executives or bribe referees!"

Yao Ming's face became embarrassing, he didn't mean it that way.

He didn't give any opinions other than the player's status, but silently agreed: "Yes, after all, Mr. Fang is pure and clean, so he can't do such a thing."

Thank you for the invitation, I, Dayao, also have an account in Zhihu!

Fang Zhuo: "..."

The boss of the Rockets jumped up vigorously, and patted Yao Ming on the shoulder: "Go, pay more attention to the next game, don't get injured again, we still have hope this year!"

After Yao Ming left, Zhou Xin asked, "Brother Fang, is it difficult to be the champion this year?"

Fang Zhuo pondered for a while. The West is actually old rivals Spurs and Mavericks. This year's finals "used to be" was the Western Spurs playing the Eastern Cavaliers. The Cavaliers team was led by James and entered the finals for the first time. They were simply shaved. With a bald head.

In other words, as long as they rush out of the West, if they still face the Cavaliers, the hope of defending the title is still great.

He replied: "Basketball is round, no one can say for sure, you still have to play it."

Today's game ended with the Rockets winning the Warriors away by 9 points, consolidating the No.4 position.

Because of the tight schedule, the team hurried to board a plane to the next city after the game.

In the evening, Yu Hong happened to come to Silicon Valley to be busy with Yike's acquisition of Major Sensor.

The three had dinner together.

During the dinner, Yu Hong kept asking Zhou Xin's daughter Zhou Keke's recent situation. Fang Zhuo listened with a smile on his face, while Zhou Xin talked about family and children. For some reason, the meal got hotter and hotter, and his back was sweating. .

"I'm going to stay in China for a while during the Spring Festival this year. I'll watch Keke catch Zhou with my own eyes, but I have an appointment." Yu Hong liked the chubby Zhou Keke very much, and handed Zhou Xin's phone back, saying so.

Zhou Xin agreed, and then asked, "Sister Yu, when are you coming back?"

"About February 2th, let's see when the big boss is on vacation, and let's see what it feels like to fly in his private jet." Yu Hong smiled.

Zhou Xin also smiled: "Then I'm going to get dirty first, Brother Fang asked me to go back by private jet in two days."

Yu Hong was taken aback, is there anyone in the country who wants to come?Fly back in a private jet and come back again?
Fang Zhuo said with a smile: "Yu always can't get enough of it. The interior of the plane needs to be remodeled to make it more comfortable. It won't be used for a while. Let's make a passenger plane together."

Yu Hong glanced at it: "Why do I hear a bad idea? Is it really going to be remodeled?"

Fang Zhuo couldn't laugh or cry: "Yu Hong, I found that you are prejudiced against me."

Yu Hong stared awe-inspiringly: "Shouldn't I have it?"

Fang Zhuo looked upright: "Should I?"

Zhou Xin, who was next to him, looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, shouting in his heart, fight, fight.

But Yu Hong looked at Zhou Xin: "Zhou Xin, tell me, how is the big boss such a pure and clean person?"

Fang Zhuo started to get a little annoyed, Zhihu's influence is bigger than he imagined, this is the second time he heard this word today, it's all the old bear's fault!

Zhou Xin was at a loss: "Ah? What? Private jets are indeed a bit expensive."

Fang Zhuo made a final decision: "Okay, as expected of Zhou Xin, this plane will be named 'Little Gui', and let them put it on the plane tomorrow."

Yu Hong rolled her eyes and ended her little bickering.

Fang Zhuo didn't think it was disobedient, and said something about the official business before the Spring Festival: "As in previous years, there will be no more meetings for everyone. This year is a critical year for Yike's business. The medical department is also looking forward to the project's harvest and working hard. , You don’t need to shout slogans, everyone signed an internal letter a few years ago, and I have thought about the content.”

"Too lazy to hold meetings, leave early, send more money, and continue to work hard in the new year."

Yu Hong rolled her eyes for the second time, knowing that Fang's surname started to escape again.

Zhou Xin clapped his hands and praised: "Brother Fang, our company culture is definitely unique in the mainland."

Yu Hong got up and said, "Pay attention to your face."

She finally said: "Tomorrow afternoon, I will make an appointment to meet with the management of Major Sensor Company, and bring Teacher Xu and Judy with them, waiting for our good news tonight."

Major sensor has only been established for more than a year. It is not so much a company as a scientific research studio, and it has not found a suitable profit method, so it is in an embarrassing situation.

This time, the acquisition in the name of Yike Company, the contact between the two parties can be regarded as a good match.

When Yu Hong left, Zhou Xin admired from the heart: "Sister Yu is really a strong woman, the most powerful I have ever seen in my life."

The development and development of Yike Company in the United States is inseparable from the contribution of Yu Hong.

Fang Zhuo smiled: "How about the King of America?"

Zhou Xin didn't answer these words, just smiled and said, "Brother Fang, there is still one thing waiting for you in China."

"What's the matter?" Fang Zhuo asked.

"The six-month short sale on Lehman is about to expire." Zhou Xin mentioned Lehman. He had paid attention to this matter before, and he also joined in the fun and made a small investment, and he was also waiting for the result.

Fang Zhuo thought deeply: "I think it should be soon."

After all, the short side has already started to make profits, and the range is gradually increasing.

Paulson was heavily injected with funds, and Gasoline also judged that he would short-term Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae in the near future.

……

It should be soon.

This is a feeling that Xiong Xiaoge once again had when Zhihu updated the short-selling situation, and the result is about to be announced.

Lehman shorted Yike, and Yike shorted Lehman. This happened five months ago.

Apart from the excitement in the early days, many people had forgotten about this incident. However, as the fund deadline approached, Yike’s stock price fell again due to the benefits of its competitors, and the two companies that shorted each other were brought up again.

The dragon crossing the river and the local tiger can't just pass by so quietly, can they?
Compete!

"Is the stock price of Lehman very stable?" Mrs. Xiong asked while cutting a plate of fruit, and opened the farm on her friend's network familiarly.

"It's quite stable. I don't know if the annual report can be released in February." Xiong Xiaoge frowned, "I think it should be a bit difficult, or, Mr. Fang can let the fund be extended, but if the time is delayed, the public opinion may still lose points. .”

Mrs. Xiong said disapprovingly: "If you lose points, you lose points. Is it all right if you win in the end?"

She paused, then asked again: "Can you win in the end?"

Xiong Xiaoge was a little hesitant. Considering the recent situation in the US financial market, the real estate market there seems to have brakes, but...how much can a giant like Lehman be affected?
What can really affect Lehman must have a strong signal.

Xiong Xiaoge hasn't seen where he can make a change until now.

but……

He still had inexplicable confidence in the other party, which was contrary to his own logic.

Mrs. Xiong glanced at her husband who was silent, and asked casually, "By the way, why haven't you been playing with the farm recently? Your farm often doesn't collect many vegetables."

Xiong Xiaoge was even more silent.

Satisfied, Mrs. Xiong finished stealing the food, and commented: "This year's Spring Festival Gala must be about stealing food. This is also a hot word of the year."

Xiong Xiaoge responded, indeed, although he was overwhelmed by Mr. Fang's manipulation of data, the game of stealing food on the Internet continued to ferment. The development of various websites really does not steal food.

This kind of enthusiasm was unprecedented, and even Xiong Xiaoge, who had played in person, was very confused.

Accompanied by such nationwide stealing of food, Dating.com and Youyou.com, which initially competed with this game, have gradually separated the high and low levels of competition.

Although I have long realized the huge traffic of penguins, I still have to sigh again this time, the traffic of penguins is too invincible.

From the campus to the workplace to the opening to the public, Friends.com has social games such as stealing vegetables from the farm and grabbing parking spaces.

——I can use traffic to learn from you.

This formula is enough.

No matter how ingeniously you change, I will only remember the top of Mount Tai.

Xiong Xiaoge chatted about business competition with emotion, and suddenly joked: "Penguin is too strong, you can't blame Mr. Fang if you lose at Friends.com, Yike is now making mobile phones, if you can make mobile phones, maybe you can Apply pressure from multiple angles.”

Mrs. Xiong inevitably heard her husband pondering about business projects from time to time, and she would also say, "It's very difficult."

Xiong Xiaoge nodded, it was difficult, it was indeed difficult.

He shook his head and got up to make a call to Mr. Fang. The Spring Festival is only two weeks away, so he can give his greetings in advance.

"Hey, what stock's number jumped down?" Xiong Xiaoge had just taken two steps when he heard his wife's voice.

He turned his head and saw that it was neither Lehman nor Yike. It was actually HSBC that fell by nearly 3% at the close of the market.

HSBC?

What's new?

What's going on in the market?
Xiong Xiaoge sat back at once, and immediately began to look for the reason.

However, there is no bad news in the market, but it is real that someone is leaving the market.

"This is inside information." Xiong Xiaoge stared at the US stocks and muttered to himself.

"Is it related to Lehman?" Mrs. Xiong asked.

Xiong Xiaoge frowned slightly, saying no, still saying no.

However, on the last day of January, he watched the stock price of HSBC fall, and suddenly had the intuition that the storm is about to come.
