Reinventing the Millennium

Yi Ke is being sued.

Yike is competing with Apple.

Something doesn't seem right about Yike.

As a double-flower red stick with the title of "Copper Pea", Fan Xiong should not pay attention to these things, but since he hurried back from Shanghai on his last trip, he unconsciously paid attention to the two words "Yike" information.

In addition, the eldest daughter of the Li family mentioned from time to time that Fan Xiong knew more about Yike than Fang Zhuo imagined. He also knew that the chamber of commerce had invested money in Fang Zhuo's private equity fund.

But private equity funds sounded like something he would never come into contact with in his life. He only knew that there was such a thing.

On October 2nd, Fan Xiong took 50,000 yuan and handed it to the young president of Yike in person. At the same time, he helped him shock the fired former legal officer of the company who wanted to cause trouble.

Then, Copper Pea continued his life in the gang, thinking that one day in the future he would hear news about losses or earning some pocket money.

On October 5th, Fan Xiong suddenly received a call from Mr. Fang.

"Hey, Brother Fan, come and get the money."

In just three days, what can these 50,000 yuan be used for?

Fan Xiong came to Yike's office strangely in the evening.

"It's your money on the table, principal plus income, take it back." That's what the young CEO behind the desk said.

Fan Xiong counted the money in shock and found that the total was 150,000, which was three times the original amount!

"Mr. Fang, this, this money is..."

Tong Wandou immediately suspected that Mr. Fang wanted to bribe him.

"When you came here last time, I happened to have a short-term stock in my hand, so I added 50,000 yuan from you. The transaction was over. This is money." Fang Zhuo shrugged and joked with a smile, "You should have given me more at that time. If the principal was given one hundred thousand, it would be three hundred thousand now."

Fan Xiong: "..."

He remained silent, suspecting that Mr. Fang still wanted to bribe him.

"If you have nothing to do, just go back." The president behind the desk just waved.

Fan Xiong confirmed twice to make sure it was his own money. He also saw several stocks that had skyrocketed in the past three days...

Perfect short-term trade, triple the money!

Fan Xiong took the money and left in a daze.

What if the principal given by No. 2 is one hundred thousand? Is it five hundred thousand?

Tong Wandou felt huge regrets in his heart. Some blamed himself for not asking clearly at the time, and some blamed Mr. Fang for not having a clear conversation with him.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and Fan Xiong received another call from the president, saying that he had a new deal that he could play with.

This time, Fan Xiong took out a principal of 300,000 yuan, thinking that anyway, 100,000 yuan was earned for nothing.

Money was given.

People become a little uneasy, fearing that they will receive bad news unexpectedly.

As a result, on October 7th, Fan Xiong came to collect money again. This time the money was more than last time, a full 3.5 times!

Fan Xiong saw the stocks that had risen in the past two days.

300,000, 1.05 million!

This this……

Fan Xiong took away a bag from Yike's president's office as if robbing a bank, which was filled with beautiful knives.

Copper Pea’s mind is filled with the joy of “stealing money, insider trading, and skyrocketing stocks.”

The next day, he took the initiative to go to Yike to express his deep gratitude to the president and inquire about the new deal.

"Haha, Brother Fan, do you think money is falling from the sky? This is all occasional news." Fang Zhuo said with a smile, "Besides, the more capital you have, the greater the risk. Look at your chamber of commerce, they are all investors. In my fund, there is a stop loss line.”

Fan Xiong asked shamelessly: "Mr. Fang, how do you add to your foundation? Can you bring me one?"

"Private equity funds are not such short-term transactions, and the scale of funds is also large." Fang Zhuo smiled, "You, Miss Li, have not been happy recently. Brother Fan, this money is enough for you to spend for a while, right? No need to deal with it."

Fan Xiong couldn't bear the desire for a jump in assets and insisted on adding a share. However, he also had a small idea and said that he would take out 1.05 million, which was exactly his 200,000 principal plus the 850,000 surge in profits from short-term trading.

Fang Zhuo couldn't refuse, so he accepted Copper Pea's participation, but there was a small condition. 1.05 million was a bit too little. He could bring friends to play, and he could collect 1.5 million to put it in a new fund shell.

Fan Xiong agreed, and soon he roped in three old brothers to pool money and start a trendy financial investment.

Fang Zhuo changed hands and bought Sina stocks with 1.5 million from the new fund entrance.

Fan Xiong left anxiously and full of expectations. Although he knew that this time was not a short-term one, he still couldn't help but look forward to the short-term gains.

In less than a week, Fang Zhuo spent 850,000 US dollars, all of which came from the company's expenses, and there were no short-term transactions at all.

When he gave the money, he just looked for stocks that had skyrocketed in the past two or three days and pointed them out to Fan Xiong.

The market did see stocks skyrocketing, but Fang Zhuo was not a stock trader. He just calmly took out the company's money and handed it over to this double bonus stick as profit.

Of course, if Fan Xiong could restrain his desire, he would really be able to make a profit of US$850,000.

However, this kind of dazzling excitement that has skyrocketed in a short period of time is really difficult for a gang member to restrain.

Fang Zhuo didn’t know if Tong Wandou had gone through a psychological struggle, or if he had ever considered that he would defraud him of his money. Anyway, the money spent by the company has now been turned into customer funds for the new fund. Before Sina announced its third quarter financial report Bought shares with trading code SINA.

This is truly illegal insider trading.

As the president of Sina, Fang Zhuo knows the company's financial report for this quarter in advance and also knows what will happen with its announcement.

He just wants to make some money with this double-flowered red stick, and he also wants to make some money with his friends.

By the way, let’s take a look at whether capital alienates people more or gangs have stronger restraints on people.

…

Mid-October.

Negotiations between Yike and Sony Music are going on with difficulty. Fang Zhuo wants to pay as little as possible in exchange for a marriage of music copyrights, while Stringer wants just the opposite.

Under such circumstances, although Apple did not announce the progress of its cooperation, news came from different channels.

After finalizing the music copyright authorization with AS, Apple has reached a consensus with Warner Music, another record giant in the world with great influence in the industry.

Not only that, there is news that BMI will soon sign a contract with Apple.

The situation is becoming increasingly unfavorable for negotiations between Yike and Sony Music.

On October 17, the negotiations between the two companies that lasted for more than half a month entered the middle stage, and news about a Chinese listed company became the x factor affecting the progress.

Sina released its 2002 Q3 financial report, announcing that the company would turn losses into profits and would build a business development strategy structured around the three major business units of Sina.com, Sina Hotline, and Sina Enterprise Services.

The secondary trading market responded enthusiastically, with Nasdaq's stock price breaking through the $2 mark on the first trading day.

At the same time, Fang Zhuo issued an order to cool down the business negotiations between Yike and Sony Music.
