Reinventing the Millennium

The head of Yike turned against his former partners, which really caused a huge public controversy.

Regardless of whether they are at home or abroad, people who eat melons eat them with great relish. When both parties, Yike and Sony, have turned to low-key for their own reasons, there are still some melon desserts that are not very eye-catching.

For example, some Wall Street media curiously explored the remaining shareholders of Sony Sensors and found that one of the institutions was suspected to have a close relationship with Mr. Fang and had multiple co-investment projects with Yike.

This media postulates a situation. If this organization simply acts as a holding agent for President Fang, then the impatience of Sony Group seems understandable.

It seems that Sony CEO's recklessness intensified the conflict, but in fact, Sony Sensor Company is already being pressed step by step, and it might as well come with a big wave.

Unfortunately, in the end, benevolence will be rewarded. Sony, which already has many internal conflicts, is about to hold an extraordinary shareholders meeting again. Heroes will only be judged based on results. Ishida Yoshihisa's leadership is likely to end in a hasty failure.

This kind of report didn't cause too many waves. It's not that Fang Zhuo still wanted to engage in such lobbying. In fact, some American friends believed that this kind of analysis of investment institutions was extremely dangerous, so they helped to deal with the situation.

On October 22, four days before Yike’s autumn conference, a non-mainstream investor was still trying to take advantage of the popularity of Yike’s leader.

"Mr. Fang is a very personable person. Back then, when he came to the capital to find me, he kicked open the door of my old Li's office!"

"Of course, at that time he asked me for money, and Dangdang grabbed a piece of land from Tesco. Now that I think about it, I can understand."

"Didn't Mr. Fang write a calligraphy for Sony? It said 'friends and enemies'. In fact, he and I, Lao Li, also have this relationship."

Li Guoqing participated in a TV station investment program and recalled the past in front of the camera.

"Mr. Fang invested in Dangdang from the very beginning and wanted Dangdang to become China's Amazon. But at that time, I didn't agree. I always felt that the step was too big. And, Mr. Fang...hey, I don't say this with any resentment. Objectively speaking, Mr. Fang is sometimes too strong, which inevitably makes people suspicious."

"You all know what happened next. Mr. Fang asked someone to start Tesco and acquire Dangdang. Later, I, Lao Li, started Dangtuan, but was killed by Mi Tuan from the Yike department. .”

"Let me tell you a little secret that you don't know. Before there were group buying projects in China, Mr. Fang gave me advice in Lin'an and said it was a good thing. However, Mr. Fang and I were in an 'enemy' state at that time, so I didn't listen much. , but that boy Lei Jun took the lead."

Li Guoqing still had regrets when he said this. His rice dumplings could only cooperate with Penguin, but in the end, they were robbed of control, and ended up in a mess. On the other hand, Lei Jun, rice dumplings are booming, and it is said that they are about to make a profit... …

He said with true feelings: "Mr. Fang and I were both enemies and friends back then, but we didn't understand the last four characters. We seek common ground while reserving differences. Oh, Mr. Fang said that the remaining characters that were burned would be auctioned. I, Mr. Li, I am willing to pay 100 million when the time comes!”

"Mr. Fang's level is very high."

"Just this burning character. Look at Zhang Chaoyang a few months ago. He did a similar thing in front of Li Yanhong. Look at how Mr. Fang did face tattooing, and look at what Li Yanhong did again."

"It's no wonder that Du Ji's high ground is now touched by Yike."

"I, Mr. Li, love to tell the truth. Li Yanhong really needs to reflect on it."

Li Guoqing spoke eloquently, mentioning Mr. Fang, criticizing Robin, reflecting on himself, and shouting an astonishing slogan of buying 100 million words.

Since the failure of the group buying project, he has been quiet for a while, but... Li Guoqing is not Zhang Chaoyang's kind of person. He stubbornly cheered up and decided to delve into the investment track.

No matter what, my qualifications, Lao Li's, are still here. I'm not as ambitious as I used to be. Now I just want to make a small difference, isn't it?

Based on this consideration, Li Guoqing took advantage of the opportunity to talk about his past with Mr. Fang. He believed that the head of Yike would not mind such a small expense.

As expected, many media outlets were happy to report Li Guoqing’s remarks as an investor, whether it was about 100 million words of purchase or comparative evaluation.

Not everything Mr. Li said may be true, but most of it is certainly true.

After all, looking up five thousand feet, there is "Qingzi" above my head, and the plane is still flying in the sky.

On October 23, co-founder Yu Hong flew to Shanghai to prepare for this year’s autumn conference.

Yike not only pushed the time to October this year, but also changed the location of the press conference to China, which is the original World Expo Performing Arts Center named after the company - "Yike Center".

After some internal discussions, the final decision was made by Mr. Fang.

This is also the first new product launch conference hosted by the leader personally after three years. It is Yike's first 4G mobile phone.

Yu Hong had already rested on the plane that came in. After arriving in Shanghai, she didn't feel that she was out of energy and went directly to the company. She went to see Weiwei first, but saw that she was listening to the business report, so she came to see the boss.

"Okay, Mr. Fang, your words are so valuable now. One word costs 50 million, so why do you want to start a company?" Yu Hong smiled when she saw Fang Zhuo and mentioned the word.

"Qingzi is cunning. He just said that, and the media just got along with it. After the excitement is over, whether to buy it or not is another matter." Fang Zhuo said calmly.

Yu Hong poured herself a cup of tea. She was not in the mood to talk about business at this moment and chatted: "When will the Sony shareholders meeting be held? Who is the new CEO?"

Fang Zhuo said in surprise: "Sony is not Yike, how do I know?"

"Oh? It was written in the New York Times that you were behind Sony's extraordinary shareholders' meeting, saying that a new CEO would be elected who is willing to promote the sensor company to go public." Yu Hong said about the reports she had seen.

"Well..." Fang Zhuo could only say, "The standards of foreign media are indeed higher, but this is so high that they are writing randomly. I really thought they were the major shareholders of Sony. I don't know, I don't know at all. Instead of caring about their efforts, we might as well think more about how to bring Yike Optoelectronics to the market."

Yu Hong frowned: "The listing of Yike Optoelectronics? You are one of the few people who are willing to list the company quickly."

Fang Zhuo has been reading a lot of reports recently, but now he always feels that it seems dark but not dark when he hears such words. He replied concisely and concisely: "Just take advantage of the good times in the past few years."

Yu Hong was silent for a while and did not continue to talk about this topic. Instead, she asked: "The taxi-hailing software Wei Zhe and the others created is called 'Dada'? It's not called 'Yida' or anything like that." .”

"After all, our company is not the one to do it. It is enough to maintain influence, and the same is true for Mi Tuan." Fang Zhuo said with a smile, "Now it is BAT and the three of them who are in trouble. They are competing for mobile payment together, which forces us to enter the market." , but when the market and competition stabilize, this will be just a payment port for Yike."

Although there are no formal and clear regulations, businesses starting with the word "Yi" are generally considered to be the key directions of Yike.

Some time ago, Yu Hong saw that the future prospects of the taxi-hailing circuit in China were being touted, and the three giants were fighting to death, so she used the name to hear the real meaning.

She snapped her fingers and nodded: "Okay, I want to wait until after the press conference to go to Bingxin Luzhou Factory to have a look, and take a few days off by the way. How about it, Mr. Fang?"

"Why did Mr. Yu think of going to see the ice core?" Fang Zhuo was a little surprised. Xiao Yu had always been focusing on market competition, and he had also taken into account the overall strategic direction for more than a year.

"The information in the information is not accurate enough. Go back and take a look, and say goodbye at the door. I hope the company will not be too ugly next year." Yu Hong was referring to the development of the next process node, which is crucial for ice cores.

Because of the research and development ideas led by Liang Mengsong, Yike's flagship mobile phone next year will really be difficult to produce, and it may even be delayed until the year after next. This will bring immeasurable changes to the company.

But if Liang Mengsong really leads the way to develop the 16nm process, Yike's product strength will definitely go beyond a level, and then... there will also be immeasurable changes.

Yu Hong knows the impact of ice core research and development on Yike. Recently, she has been tossing and turning every time she thinks about it. Business, market, revenue, stock price... there are too many changes in all aspects.

This kind of news, which is now difficult to evaluate in detail, naturally carries huge pressure.

Fang Zhuo understood this sentiment, and he said with a smile: "I won't do anything by praying, but it's okay to do it for good luck. Don't tell me, sometimes I think about the situation at the end of next year. I hope it will come faster, but I also feel that it is too slow." Some will do.”

This is Hu Zhengming and Liang Mengsong’s accumulation of FinFET in Ice Core over the years, and it is also the hard work of Ice Core’s R\u0026D team working three shifts day and night. However, it does have a huge relationship and can be said to change the competitive ecology of the industry.

However, it is really inevitable to shoot the first bird.

Yu Hong frowned and nodded, exhaling slowly. No matter what, she should do the business in front of her first.

Because it is the first time for Yike to hold a global press conference in Shanghai, coupled with its current position in the mobile phone market, the publicity efforts at home and abroad are quite strong, and the media has arrived here early.

However, on October 25, just one day before the launch of Yike, advertisements for the new taxi software appeared in traditional travel scenes such as Shanghai’s airport, subway, and bus stations.

The expected heavyweight opponents such as BAT or Bumblebee, Kuaidi, and Didi have finally come to an end.

The advertisement appeared at nine o'clock in the morning. In just a few minutes, every company received the news. Yike still chose Shencheng, which had the strongest influence, to win the place where the three companies were fighting.

——The taxi-hailing brand "Dada Travel" founded by Wei Zhe.

——"Dada" uses Easy Pay on the passenger side, with a maximum subsidy of ten yuan, while the driver side is 50-100 yuan.

——The new version of Yixin has launched a mini program, similar to the light application launched by Duji this year, and "Dada" is the first merchant to try it.

——"Dada" has completed financing led by Yike. The amount is confidential, but it is said to be large.

The "Dada" news related to Yike's admission was quickly passed on.

Cheng Wei, the founder of Didi, had just returned to the capital from Shanghai. He pondered for a long time after receiving the news that shocked him. He noticed that his colleagues were paying attention to his expression and said calmly: "I thought Yike It won’t be until the beginning of next year, and it seems that it won’t be that patient.”

"It's okay, come on, this is what we expected. Well, it's really Wei Zhe who went to take a taxi. Hey, I don't know what Ali thinks."

Cheng Wei himself came from Alibaba. Now among the four taxi-hailing brands that have the shadow of giants, Kuaishou is directly invested by Alibaba. Didi has many Alibaba colleagues, and the same is definitely true for Dada. It seems a bit Ali's civil war means, when you think about it, Bumblebee is an eyesore.

"Dada started in Shanghai, and the Hornets are having a headache. We still hold on to our share and see if there is any movement from the Hornets."

Since the three companies' subsidies in Shanghai have been reduced, the Hornet's market share has gradually recovered a lot. Now that the base camp is attacked, you can imagine Li Yongjin's headache.

However, before Cheng Weiduo could think about the changes in Yike's entry into the game, a new piece of news surprised him.

"Mr. Cheng, Mr. Cheng, 'Dada' advertisements have also appeared on a large scale in the airports and train stations in the capital! They have also launched an attack in the capital!"

Cheng Wei put down his cell phone and thought about the launch of "Dada" in Shencheng and Beijing, and suddenly asked: "Where's Lin'an? Where's Lin'an? There should be one, right?"

Lin'an is the headquarters of Kuaidi. Now that Dada has attacked Didi and Bumblebee, there is no reason not to attack Lin'an.

Sure enough, only half an hour later, the same news appeared in Lin'an Market.

Dada is online.

As soon as Yike entered the stage, Dada seemed to be in a one-on-three stance.

"Okay, okay, as expected of Yi Ke. I really didn't expect that he would ask us to come together. Come as soon as you come. Who is afraid of who?" Cheng Wei digested the news, waved his hand suddenly, and said sonorously, "Contact Penguin and prepare to fight. money!"

…

The Yike press conference is coming soon, and the taxi-hailing market is undergoing further changes, but Xiong Xiaoge, who has already flown to Tokyo, has no time to care about these.

IDG has completed its investment in Dada. He also believes that Yike, Wei Zhe and others who have been preparing for a long time have sufficient competitive resources, so feel free to let them do it.

Xiong Xiaoge has other business matters of his own, including investing in Nikon's divestment of its semiconductor business.

However, this time he suffered a disaster as soon as he arrived at Nikon.

"This is Fang Zhuo's dog!"

The first time it was in Japanese, Xiong Xiaoge didn't understand it, but he found that the translator's face changed, the accompanying Nikon executives also looked embarrassed, and the Nikon employee who said this looked angry.

"What's wrong? What did he say?" Xiong Xiaoge thought it was an internal problem at Nikon.

Without waiting for the translator to speak, the Nikon employees who came forward because of their sympathy for Sony's recent turmoil seemed to realize that Xiong Xiaoge could not understand Japanese, and directly cursed in English: "You are Fang Zhuo's dog! You are here to harm Nikon!"

Xiong Xiaoge looked at the employee in shock, feeling very aggrieved.

You, you, me, me...

No, this, I am not the one who scolded me wrongly, Wang Fengyi is the one! (End of chapter)
