Reinventing the Millennium

On February 26, New Year’s Eve, the whole country celebrated the festival of reunion.

However, the CEO of Yike Technology is busier than last year. Even though his parents came to Shanghai, he still drove people to the airport early in the morning.

This was unplanned. Director Yu was going to New York ahead of schedule.

According to the agreement, Fang Zhuo planned to go to New York to handle matters after the year, and then wait for Yu Hong to go abroad to take over. After taking over the director, she would be fully responsible for the US market.

However, Yu Hong's father, who was in Anhui Province, and her mother, who was accompanying her son in Shanghai, made a decision as the holiday approached, ending their marriage that had lasted for more than 20 years.

The two have been separated in different places for a long time. Fang Zhuo heard the theory before that Yu's mother accompanied Yu Hong's younger brother to school, but now it seems that this is not the only reason.

Every family has its cupboard.

Yu Hong was upset, so she decided to go to New York in advance to see the situation there, so as to contribute to the company's affairs.

"You said this, it's the Chinese New Year." Fang Zhuo drove Director Yu's car and used common sentence patterns at this time, "Uncle and aunt are really, eh, haven't you and Teacher Xiao Su been neighbors since childhood? If you don't dislike it, , I don’t have any shortage of dishes and chopsticks here either.”

"It's considered a job to go out to relax and unwind." Yu Hong's decision did not waver, "On behalf of Yike Technology, I would like to review President Fang's work abroad."

Seeing that this man was still in the mood to joke, Fang Zhuo felt relieved and said, "Okay, Yang Wan has volunteered to stay in New York this year. He is the first to lead people there. All matters are clear, including Kroger's." When it comes to contact, you should discuss it with him more often and don’t put on airs like your boss’s.”

Yu Hong nodded silently. She was very familiar with Yang Wan and knew about his hard work.

"There is also Guan Jin, who is in charge of finance. She stayed with me a lot in New York. Later, when there was a shortage of people, she also followed the group to create channels, and she grew very quickly."

"Qi He from the third batch. This young man has a very flexible mind and can be used in many ways. Hey, he speaks with a Cockney accent."

Fang Zhuo named those who stayed in New York to make it easier for Director Yu to recruit people.

Yu Hong kept it in mind and trusted her boss's vision.

Similarly, she has submitted a detailed report on domestic channels. The boss's authority is only higher than hers, not to mention there are several people he has mentioned, so there is no need to worry at all.

"What's going on with your foundation?" Yu Hong remembered something she heard before but didn't ask about.

Fang Zhuo briefly talked about the background and funding of the establishment of the MIGA Foundation, and also talked about his judgment on Chinese concept stocks, and also talked about the dispersion of Sina's equity and the fluctuation of management.

Even though this conversation was simple, we continued talking all the way to the airport.

Yu Hong was mostly listening, and she couldn't hide her emotion at the end: "Sometimes, I think you are the one who graduated from the University of Science and Technology."

"It's great, it's great." Fang Zhuo and Xiao Yu have nothing to hide. "The main purpose of the MIGA fund is to make some money outside of business. With money, you can do more things, including Yike's music copyright, expansion The upstream industrial chain, etc., and the U.S. real estate market will be prosperous in the next few years, and there are still many opportunities."

Yu Hong showed a smile: "I will try my best to do a good job in the market."

"Well." Fang Zhuo said while parking the car, "Kong Yu will be in New York soon after the Chinese New Year. The foundation is not busy with work right now. If you need someone, call him. Although he is a bit slippery, he is still very capable. Strong."

"Can't he help you deal with the matter of plotting against Sina?" Yu Hong asked.

Fang Zhuo shook his head: "No, on the one hand, it involves shares of U.S. listed companies and involves many plan regulations, which requires a specialized law firm and accounting team. On the other hand, the fact that Kong Yu came to Yike is easy to check if he really wants to. If he shows up more, it will be easy to expose Yike's actions."

Yu Hong raised her eyebrows: "Do you mean that you will never expose your relationship with MIGA?"

"At the very least, the early actions of the MIGA fund cannot be revealed. The foundation is held through Xiangjiang's company." Fang Zhuo hesitated, "If everything goes well, I hope to communicate harmoniously with Sina's board of directors without causing too much trouble."

Yu Hong asked with interest: "What if it doesn't go well?"

Fang Zhuo pretended to be angry and said, "Can you just look forward to it?"

Yu Hong was amused by the boss's expression.

"If it doesn't go well..." Fang Zhuo said half-jokingly, "Then don't blame me for destroying the flowers."

Yu Hong nodded: "Let's go, President Fangda. I will make a wish for you in New York during the Chinese New Year this year. I hope everything goes well."

It won’t work if you say it out loud...

Fang Zhuo didn't say this, but chatted with Xiao Yu in some light-hearted words.

There were not as many people at the airport as usual during the Chinese New Year, and the two of them didn't talk much about work, they just talked about some of the dumbfounding things they usually encounter.

At 9:30 in the morning, Fang Zhuo and Yu Hong waved goodbye and asked each other to say something to him after they landed safely.

Then, he did not leave the airport, silently waiting for the second purpose of his trip.

After waiting for an hour, a passenger plane from New York landed at Pudong International Airport. Fang Zhuo received three lawyers from a famous New York law firm, all of whom were white.

Because the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has complex and detailed legal regulations involving changes in company equity, an M\u0026A case must be handled by a professional team that is proficient in this field.

Otherwise, if Sina directly files a lawsuit with the SEC when it sees the situation, it is likely that the acquirer will fall short.

"Mr. Fang is much younger than I thought."

"I am honored to participate in this first Tender Offer of Chinese concept stocks. This is likely to become a case in your country."

"With respect to MIGA funds, we are signing a change of signing authority, which maintains your subsequent compliance under the treaty provisions of §14(d)(1)."

Fang Zhuo was driving, listening to the foreigners chattering along the way. He felt that the leading lawyer was more excited than him, not only because of the generous legal fees, but also because this operation was commonly known as a hostile takeover.

"Mr. Martin, do you know that today is the most important holiday in China? Just like your Christmas, I will have dinner with my family tonight." Fang Zhuo was a little helpless that the other party chose this time to come to China.

Barrister Martin thought about it seriously and said tolerantly: "Then, we can formally talk about the compliance of the MIGA Foundation and your company's operations tomorrow morning, and the need for you to make a face-to-face statement to the SEC in the future. .”

"Ha, thank you, Mr. Martin, did you give me half a day's vacation?" Fang Zhuo said with a smile.

"Mr. Fang, in your words." Martin switched languages ​​and said in fluent Mandarin, "Time waits for no man."

Fang Zhuo said in surprise: "Can you speak Chinese?"

Martin blinked and said happily: "My grandma is Chinese, I am a mixed race from six countries, and Chinese is also a required course for me."

"That would be even better." Fang Zhuo nodded and said with a smile, "I don't know why, but hearing Mr. Martin communicate in Mandarin boosted my confidence a lot."

"I hope my business ability will make Mr. Fang more confident." Martin said calmly.

Fang Zhuo nodded and stepped on the accelerator. Very good, this barrister was as confident as himself.

It's been a bit busy these days.
