my return 2002

Chapter 329 The Old Fox and the Little Fox

After the meeting was over, the shareholders left one after another. Sassafras was like a defeated rooster, stunned in his seat for a while. All these changes were too fast, and he even felt like he was having a nightmare.

After a long time, Huang Zhang stood up and was about to leave, but was stopped by Shen Lang.

Huang Zhang was furious, and said sarcastically, "What? How else does Mr. Shen plan to humiliate me?"

Shen Lang gave his assistant Yang Mei a wink, and Yang Mei walked out of the meeting room and closed the door behind her.

"Mr. Huang, the situation like today is not what I want to see." Shen Lang said with emotion.

Before he finished speaking, Huang Zhang slammed the table hard, stared at Shen Lang viciously, and shouted.
"Stop pretending here, if you just want to show off your skill, I admit, you won! And it's a beautiful win."

Saying that Sassafras is about to leave.

Shen Lang called him again.

"Well, since that's the case, let me just say it straight, Mr. Huang, I can buy the shares of Meizu you own at the valuation of this financing."

Huang Zhang sneered: "Mr. Shen, I admit that you did win today, but I'm still the major shareholder of Meizu. If you gamble, you don't necessarily lose. Meizu was founded by me. Don't think about it!"

Shen Lang shook his head: "No, you have no chance of winning!"

"Wait and see!"

Huang Zhang said that he was about to leave again, but Shen Lang said something lightly.

"Up to now, you don't even know where you lost, so why fight with me?"

In an instant, Huang Zhang's footsteps seemed to be nailed to the floor, he suppressed the anger in his heart, turned around, sat opposite Shen Lang, and took a deep breath.

"Okay, then please Mr. Shen teach me a good lesson!"

Shen Lang ignored the sarcasm in Huang Zhang's words, and said unhurriedly: "You must be curious why Bai Yongxiang betrayed you, right?"

"Don't mention this slut who eats inside and outside, he is willing to be a traitor for such a small share!"

Huang Zhang's eyes were bloodshot with anger. The person he thought was least likely to betray him actually stabbed him at the most critical moment.

Shen Lang sarcastically said: "Boss Huang said it so lightly, so a little share? Bai Yongxiang started from scratch with you, five years, why didn't you give him any shares? I believe, as long as Bai Yongxiang owns 0.1% Shares, will not agree to cooperate with me!"

Huang Zhang felt violent bullying in his chest. He really wanted to refute Shen Lang's point of view, but he remembered his previous friendship with Bai Yongxiang. Perhaps, as Shen Lang said, if he had given Bai Yongxiang some shares back then, the result would have been different today.

Thinking of this, Huang Zhang felt regretful.

"No one in this world is a fool. When you start a business, you talk like a hype. If you start a business successfully, you will become famous. He is still a wage earner. Thinking in another way, does Mr. Huang think it is appropriate?"

Huang Zhang took a deep breath: "Okay, I'm sorry Lao Bai was taken advantage of by you, but what about the investors? What benefits did you give them?"

Shen Lang spread his hands, shook his head and said: "I didn't promise them any benefits, I just told them that replacing you will be more beneficial to the future development of Meizu, that's all!"

"impossible!"

When Huang Zhang heard the words, he turned against the case. Looking at it again, he founded Meizu alone. The reason why Meizu is today is because of him. How can it be possible to replace him, which is more beneficial to the development of Meizu?

Shen Lang leaned against the back of the chair and said calmly: "This is the truth."

"Mr. Huang, your recent success has made you a little carried away. You have overlooked the most important point. The reason why Meizu can achieve today's results is entirely due to the support of the star system. Can it make Meizu sell well? Stop dreaming!"

"You think you have private contacts with Google, so I really don't know anything?"

Huang Zhang was startled. Only a very few Meizu executives knew about the private contact with Google, and he woke up. Shen Lang had already planted his nails in Meizu.

"Just because I want to replace the star system, so you"

Shen Lang sneered and said: "The reason why I promoted Meizu is to promote the star system. Meizu without the star system is worthless to me. I would rather destroy it than let you lure the wolf into the house!"

Huang Zhang's hands trembled unconsciously, and he finally understood why the attitudes of those investors were so consistent.

A sense of frustration welled up, looking around, he had become a stumbling block to Meizu's progress, and everyone wanted to kick him away.

Shen Lang dialed the number of his assistant Yang Mei, and soon, Yang Mei came in and handed Huang Zhang a share transfer agreement.

Huang Zhang just glanced at it, then put it aside, fixed his eyes on Shen Lang: "What if I don't sign?"

"Boss Huang wants to continue fighting with me. I don't mind playing with you, but I want to remind you that Meizu is just a stepping stone to me. Now the function of this stepping stone has been completed. The big deal is to When the money I invested before was in vain, but Meizu is everything to you, and you are 31 years old, you are not too young, if you want to start from scratch, you may not be able to catch up with such a good trend." Shen Lang shrugged Shrugged, said indifferently.

Huang Zhang clenched his fists tightly, he really wanted to give Shen Lang a punch now, however, reason told him that taking the money and leaving is indeed his best choice at present, with this money, he can make a comeback, once he is with Shen Lang If the wave completely falls out, it is really irreparable.

In the end, Sassafras still signed the equity transfer agreement. According to Meizu’s valuation of 80 billion in the third round, he owns 37% of Meizu’s shares, and Sassafras can get 29.6 billion yuan.

Of course, Shen Lang didn't own the shares of Sassafras alone. Shen Lang only took 25% of the shares, and the rest of the shares were acquired by some investment institutions.

For this, Shen Lang needs to pay 20 billion RMB. Since his funds are all in the US stock market, he can only temporarily withdraw 10 billion RMB from Mountain Dew Entertainment, and pay the remaining 10 billion RMB in half a year.

In this way, Shen Lang owns 55% of Meizu's shares and has a controlling stake. In addition to accepting Bai Yongxiang as the new CEO, he also mentioned several previous Meizu executives to important positions. The top management structure basically remains unchanged. , This transfer of rights did not have much impact on Meizu's internal R&D, production, and sales.

Sassafras just left alone. In fact, he also invited some executives and technical backbones to start a business with him. However, no one left with him. Bai Yongxiang’s experience told them that Sassafras is not a generous and good boss.

The office of the chairman of Meizu.

"Please come in."

Bai Yongxiang carefully opened the office door.

As soon as Shen Lang raised his head, he greeted Bai Yongxiang enthusiastically: "Mr. Bai is here, you are welcome to sit down. It just so happens that Mr. Huang left a can of Pu'er tea, let's try it."

Bai Yongxiang was a little embarrassed. He was too familiar with the taste of that can of Pu'er tea. He used to drink it with sassafras. Who would have thought that things would change in such a short time.

"Thank you Mr. Shen." Bai Yongxiang took the teacup handed over by Shen Lang and said politely.

Shen Lang said with a smile: "Don't be too restrained, I won't come to this office often in the future, Meizu will depend on you from now on."

"Mr. Shen, don't worry, I will do my best." Bai Yongxiang immediately patted his chest and promised.

After getting the shares, he can be regarded as the boss of Meizu. Naturally, he has made great efforts to develop Meizu better, and he is also eager to prove his ability.

Shen Lang patted his arm and smiled, "I believe in your ability."

Afterwards, Shen Lang changed the topic again: "What plans do you have for the future development of Meizu?"

Bai Yongxiang collected himself, put down his teacup, and said seriously.

"Meizu M7 is still produced and sold as usual. In addition, the Xingchen system is open source. I plan to design a system that is more suitable for Meizu based on the characteristics of Meizu."

Shen Lang nodded: "Well, if you need any help, you can always find He Xiaopeng."

Bai Yongxiang was overjoyed when he heard the words, and Shen Lang understood what he meant. Although the Xingchen system was open-sourced, Meizu, as one of the "pro-sons", can still enjoy some preferential treatment, which also greatly increased his confidence.

"In addition, Meizu's high-end brand image has been erected, but the current domestic demand for high-end models is still not as good as low-end models. You can try to form a sub-brand that specializes in thousand-yuan phones. Although the profit in this market is relatively Small, but the market prospect is huge." Shen Lang reminded.

This is also one of the reasons why they are willing to spend another 20 billion on Meizu. Although mobile phone manufacturers such as Bird and Gionee have signed licensing agreements with Star Technology, who can guarantee that they will not also introduce the Android system?

The low-end mobile phone market still needs to be occupied by "our own people". The same plan is already under preparation by Xiaomi, but it is far from enough to rely on only one Xiaomi.

The prospect of the low-end mobile phone market in the mainland is still a blue ocean, and the annual growth rate is extremely astonishing. It cannot be eaten by one or two companies.

"Okay, Mr. Shen, I understand what to do."

Bai Yongxiang has seen Shen Lang's skills throughout the whole process. With so many shares in Sassafras, he can't beat Shen Lang, let alone him.

During the period when Shen Lang was planning Meizu, the mainland stock market was full of grief.

Since October 2007, 10, A-shares have plummeted from a high of 16 points. Due to the boom in the stock market for two consecutive years, investors thought it was just a temporary structural adjustment at first.

Many stockholders even thought it was a good opportunity to buy bottoms. However, the sharp decline for two consecutive months soon caused panic in the entire market.

For a while, there was a tragic situation of a thousand shares falling to the limit, and the stockholders who had been making money every day before lost all their money in an instant.

The situation of the financial market in the U.S. stock market far across the ocean is not optimistic. Since the fourth quarter of 2007, the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States has surfaced, and U.S. stocks have also begun to fluctuate sharply.

Especially on January 1st, the FTSE 21 index in London suffered the biggest drop in a single day, and the European stock market also hit the biggest drop since September 100, 2001. Even the Federal Reserve announced that it would cut interest rates by a quarter and three percentage points, but it still could not prevent the market from reacting to the subprime mortgage crisis. panic.

The professional trader team arranged by Bridgewater Fund for Shen Lang, after half a year of layout, has already absorbed a large number of short contracts from real estate and insurance institutions in the United States. If Shen Lang chooses to close the position at this time, the previous 8.5 million The U.S. dollar will directly become 17 billion U.S. dollars, which is doubled.

Of course, Shen Lang would not choose to close his positions at this time. The impact of the subprime mortgage crisis is far from reaching its peak, and the panic in the market has only just begun.

Since the stock market crash in 01, the U.S. stock market has entered a six-year long-term growth. The market has not completely collapsed. American stockholders are still waiting for the government’s rescue plan. They believe that the U.S. will not let the real estate subprime mortgage crisis become unmanageable. temporary.

Not long after Shen Lang returned to the devil, he suddenly received an unexpected call.

"Hello, who is it?"

"Hello, Mr. Shen, I'm Zhang Zhongmou from TSMC."

Shen Lang tightened his grip on the phone, what did this old fox want him to do?
"Ah, so it's Mr. Zhang, hello, hello."

Zhang Zhongmou's voice on the phone was very clear: "Mr. Shen, I'm in Shanghai right now. Do you have time? Let's meet and talk?"

"Of course that's what I wish for. Mr. Zhang, why don't we have dinner together tomorrow afternoon?"

Hanging up the phone, Shen Lang tapped his fingers on the desk. He could guess the reason for Zhang Zhongmou's visit. Ever since the Meizu M7 and Mi 1 were sold out, the supply of Godson 3 was in short supply. In addition, the Xingchen system was open source, Bird, Gionee, etc. SMIC's production capacity has begun to lag behind the orders brought by these mobile phone manufacturers.

However, Shen Lang does not believe that Zhang Zhongmou can be attracted by this order alone. Although TSMC has not surpassed Intel to become the world's number one chip manufacturer at this time, its scale cannot be underestimated.

Godson International currently has a few million orders at most, which is really nothing to TSMC.

Then, Zhang Zhongmou's heart is clearly revealed, he wants to leverage SMIC's order.

Since last year, TSMC has launched a fierce litigation offensive against SMIC, intending to bring down the rising mainland chip industry through litigation.

Of course, Zhang Zhongmou is also very clear that litigation is a long process, and he is not sure of winning. The best way is to defeat SMIC through commercial means.

Shen Lang immediately called Hu Weiwu and told about Zhang Zhongmou.

Hu Weiwu yelled at the words, and then nervously said to Shen Lang: "Mr. Shen, you must resist the temptation!"

Shen Lang frowned: "I'm sure I can withstand the temptation. The key is that we can't reveal our true intentions yet, otherwise SMIC will definitely suffer a more severe blow from TSMC."

Based on Zhang Zhongmou's scheming, he will naturally not allow the mainland chip industry to form a large-scale effect of the upstream and downstream industrial chains. Once Shen Lang shows a slight intention to advance and retreat with SMIC, Zhang Zhongmou will definitely destroy SMIC at all costs.

Hu Weiwu scratched his head aggrievedly: "Hey, what do you call this! We design chips by ourselves, and we have to worry about this and that when we find our own factory to manufacture chips."

Shen Lang sighed, and comforted him: "Boss Hu, don't worry too much. How about this? I'll get in touch with Zhang Zhongmou, an old fox, to find out his tone. Anyway, I don't know much about technology, so I'll pretend to be stupid when the time comes." Yes, I'm good at this."

"Haha, that's right. I believe you, a little fox, will be able to deal with Zhang Zhongmou's old fox." Hu Weiwu laughed out loud.

Shen Lang couldn't help but rolled his eyes: "Why do I feel that you are scolding me?"

"Who said that, I'm praising you for being smart."

After the joke, Shen Lang said seriously: "Boss Hu, you have also seen that SMIC is not safe. They still use foreign technology. We still have to develop our own chip industry chain."

"Well, you're right. I'm already coordinating resources with the superior department. With the success of Godson-3, my report will be more convincing. I should be able to get more resources."
