Reinventing the Millennium

Ni Runfeng increasingly felt that Mr. Xiao Fang was a man of justice.

The road show has just ended, and there are many things to do about Yike's listing. We have only met each other a few times, but Mr. Xiao Fang is still so enthusiastic...

So generous!

Ni Runfeng held the wine glass and thought deeply about where to start.

Fang Zhuo saw that the leader of Changhong had not opened his mouth yet. He glanced at the thoughtful old Xiong and said, "Old Ni, what worries do you have? We have little contact and you don't understand me as a person. Why don't you let me?" Xiong, tell me, what am I like?"

It wasn't that Ni Runfeng didn't say anything, he was just thinking about how to say it. But when he saw Mr. Xiao Fang's enthusiasm, he was filled with emotion.

This is no longer righteousness, but high righteousness!

Mr. Fang is so righteous!

When Xiong Xiaoge heard that the topic was brought to him, he wished that he would encounter a storm on the plane today and be sent back to Shanghai.

He felt a little embarrassed in his heart. Let's tell him his true feelings. If he didn't know, he would have ruined something for Fang Zhuo. Let's just go with the words. He might have become an accomplice.

Xiong Xiaoge gave a tactical "cough" and said vaguely: "Mr. Fang is a soft-spoken person rather than a hard-nosed person."

Ni Runfeng was stunned.

Fang Zhuo said with a smile: "Hey, that's right. I'm a soft-hearted person and can't tolerate the difficulties of those around me."

He also felt some emotion and raised his wine glass: "Lao Xiong originally advised me to be tougher as a businessman like me. Think about it, it has been a few years. Lao Xiong, I don't want to say anything else. It’s all in the wine.”

Fang Zhuo said that, but he didn't drink much wine.

Xiong Xiaoge held the wine glass and saw Mr. Fang's eyes glaring, knowing that he had nodded at her. The words "it's all in the wine" were just his words when they first met.

All the deceptions, unpleasantness, and one-sided compromises of the past are gone.

Now that Yike is about to be successfully listed, and its market value far exceeds estimates, everything Mr. Fang says is right.

Xiong Xiaoge shook his wine glass and made some mental decisions. Mr. Fang, although he was a bit bad, was also principled and not without a bottom line.

Besides, why should he harm you, Mr. Ni, if he doesn’t harm others?

Did you do something wrong? Is there really a problem as reported by the media?

Just like why does he not harm others, but just me, old bear?

It’s not that there’s a problem with my investment vision!

Xiong Xiaoge dropped the burden in her heart and said sincerely: "Yes, time flies so fast, Mr. Ni, Mr. Fang is a warm-hearted person. As he said, when everyone adds firewood, the flames will rise. What happened to you Changhong? You might as well speak up and let everyone brainstorm.”

Ni Runfeng lowered his head and thought.

Fang Zhuo then took a big sip of wine and smiled at Lao Xiong.

Xiong Xiaoge pretended not to see it. Anyway, he could guarantee that he was really giving advice.

"Well, this trip to the United States is actually for our distributor APEX. They have defaulted on a large amount of payment." Ni Runfeng raised his head and said, "Our manufacturer ships, and they distribute the goods through American channels. It stands to reason that , I made it clear wherever I went that I would not get my money back.”

Fang Zhuo and Xiong Xiaoge both nodded, this matter was very clear.

Ni Runfeng smiled bitterly and said: "But after consulting lawyers, they said that this lawsuit can be dragged out for a long time. APEX's ability to shirk product quality has brought losses to the channel. This also involves a fight with Wal-Mart. Also, I can't find it now. When I went to APEX’s CEO Ji, he didn’t answer calls, didn’t reply to text messages, and he didn’t know where he was.”

Fang Zhuo nodded lightly and recalled that APEX CEO Ji now lives in Room 502, Apartment 16, 17th Street, midtown Manhattan, which is a prime location in New York with convenient transportation, rich dining and entertainment.

Xiong Xiaoge frowned. Legal methods are like this. They are often time-consuming and labor-intensive. Since it is a judgment given by a lawyer, it is indeed a bit troublesome. Moreover, judging from some previous domestic reports, Mr. Ni should also lack such of time and energy.

"Old Ni, with all due respect, Changhong just handed over the goods directly like this? Isn't it too defenseless? Is this process correct?" Fang Zhuo questioned.

"Well, although APEX has a bad reputation, its previous cooperation with us has been okay. This is the first." Ni Runfeng gave the answer, "Second, in order to ensure the return of money, APEX, Changhong You and Insurance The company signs the policy together.”

Xiong Xiaoge asked strangely: "Since we have an insurance policy and now APEX is in arrears with the payment, then we should pay the compensation."

Ni Runfeng shook his head and said: "I took out the policy and asked Lawyer Martin to study the contents. There is room for avoidance in the terms and conditions of the policy."

Xiong Xiaoge put down his wine glass: "Isn't this deliberate fraud?!"

He turned his head and asked Fang Zhuo angrily: "Mr. Fang, how do you think we should handle this kind of fraud?"

Fang Zhuo glanced at Lao Xiong, thought for a few seconds, and asked: "Lao Ni, don't you have any communication mechanism between Changhong and APEX? With so many goods and such a large payment, don't you send someone to be responsible for the intermediary communication?"

Ni Runfeng shook his head and said: "No, Changhong has no overseas experience before, and APEX is the largest DVD supplier in the United States. They have full power channels."

Fang Zhuo nodded again, Lao Ni, you forgot to mention that your daughter serves as a director at APEX.

After reading the narration of the head of Changhong, the four people on the small table by the window fell into thinking for a while.

At this time, a waiter brought snacks to the president, including polenta with cream and fruit, and gingerbread that was a cross between cake and biscuit. These are all things that are often eaten on Christmas Eve.

It just so happened that a famous singer was invited to perform on stage.

Fang Zhuo invited these people to have something to eat to ease the serious atmosphere.

The cocktail party was still lively, not affected by the small talk of problems in the corner by the window. Ni Runfeng was eating gingerbread, drinking white wine, thinking about his life, and suddenly felt a little ridiculous.

When the song on the stage ended, Fang Zhuo brought the topic back up: "Lao Ni, it seems that if we can solve APEX Company and get that CEO Ji to sit down and communicate, there is hope that this matter will be solved."

He continued: "Is this the biggest problem you are facing in Changhong now? It is the arrears of overseas payment and the loss of control of the distribution system."

Ni Runfeng nodded, and he looked at Mr. Fang.

Xiong Xiaoge was also surprised. Hearing Mr. Fang's tone, could he find a way so quickly?

He directly asked: "Mr. Fang, do you have any idea?"

Fang Zhuo shook his head in embarrassment: "I haven't thought of any good solution for the time being. I can't find this person. What should I do?"

Ni Runfeng also sighed. Indeed, the man surnamed Ji had other thoughts. Now he can only go through a long legal process if he can't find someone, but this is not what he wants, and I'm afraid it's not what Changhong wants to wait for.

Xiong Xiaoge stared deeply at Mr. Fang, "You just lied, just let this lie go!"

But he also had doubts in his heart, was Fang Zhuo interested in Changhong?

No, there is no business negotiation. Changhong Group, the parent company behind Changhong's listed company, has absolute control. It is not like Sina's decentralized shareholding structure. As for Changhong's current situation, there is also the precedent of Greencool. , it is completely impossible to change ownership.

Xiong Xiaoge changed his perspective and suspected that Fang Zhuo was interested in Ni Runfeng.

Since it is impossible for Changhong to change owners, can the current head of Changhong be controlled and affected...

Xiong Xiaoge made various guesses, while Fang Zhuo began to ask Ni Runfeng for more details.

Ni Runfeng wanted to express his gratitude today, but firstly, he felt depressed, and secondly, because of Mr. Fang's high sense of justice, he tried his best to restore the details and describe his current situation in Changhong.

The head of Changhong was full of emotions, while Xiong Xiaoge watched with cold eyes as Mr. Fang put himself in Mr. Ni's shoes.

Unconsciously, time passed and the light suddenly turned on by the floor-to-ceiling window.

The three people turned around and saw the smiling CEO of Yike on the big billboard. On the screen was Yike's panda logo, as well as the words 2004.1.1 and NASDAQ: YIKE.

"Not bad, pretty good-looking." Fang Zhuo commented on himself.

"The appearance is indeed very good." Xiong Xiaoge also had to admit this.

Fang Zhuo turned his head again, and after listening to Mr. Ni's various stories, he expressed his position again: "Old Ni, this matter is indeed difficult for you, but don't worry, I have some connections in both law firms and Wal-Mart. Take your time, don't be too hasty, things will be solved step by step."

The CEO on the billboard outside has a bright smile, but Mr. Fang in front of him is eager for justice, with a solemn and worried expression.

Hey, what can a president who competes with Sony on a global scale do for himself?

A business in decline? Picture of payment from distribution company? Favoring a failed chairman?

Ni Runfeng didn't know how to express his gratitude, so he could only drink. He could only drink.
