Reinventing the Millennium

The Christmas Eve party lasted until one o'clock in the morning.

The head of Changhong also stayed until this time, toasting together and drinking a sip of the early celebration wine before leaving.

Because he had many employees and it was late, Fang Zhuo asked extra attention to safety. Fortunately, he had many brothers, so this matter didn't worry him much.

Mr. Xiong Xiaoge, the president of IDG China, came all the way and was invited to ring the bell on behalf of institutional shareholders. Naturally, he and his team were placed directly at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in the Time Warner Center.

However, while he was still happy about Yike's listing, he also wanted to understand clearly what was happening before him.

"Mr. Fang, what's going on with Changhong?"

Xiong Xiaoge's room was one floor away from Mr. Fang's. She called in advance to confirm that there was someone upstairs and it was already 1:30 in the morning when they met.

"What's going on? Aren't you here to listen? It's the first time I'm seeing Lao Ni since I came to the United States." Fang Zhuo said with an inexplicable look on his face, "I thought you were looking for me for business, and I was going to have a meeting. Hotel conference room.”

Xiong Xiaoge opened a bottle of water and asked directly: "Do you have any thoughts about Changhong? This is a red sea, and there are no good opportunities."

"I just can't tolerate my friends' difficulties." Fang Zhuo made himself a cup of tea, "Old Xiong, you are thinking too much."

Xiong Xiaoge said "ha": "The last time you were so kind was more than 20 years ago, right?"

Fang Zhuo said seriously: "Indeed, I have been kind since I was a child."

Xiong Xiaoge felt his head hurt: "That Mr. Ni's words were not entirely true. Didn't you hear that? It's not normal for him to let such a large amount of money go by just relying on his 'right to speak' and 'insurance'. The policy' wasn't enough to convince me."

Coincidentally, I am not completely untrue, and it is not enough to convince me.

Fang Zhuo smiled: "Old Xiong, I'm just helping you out. I have only met Mr. Ni three times today, once on the plane, once for dinner in Beijing, and once for drinking this time. What can I think? "

After meeting each other three times, what thoughts can you have?

Normal people definitely don't have it.

But Mr. Fang is not normal.

Xiong Xiaoge was thinking about this matter during the second half of the reception. He had no choice but to act like an accomplice today. He also felt that Mr. Ni was a little abnormal, so he took the opportunity of reminding him to calm down the relationship between investors and management. relation.

The words are here, the meaning is here, but they are also there.

Mr. Fang, I, the old bear, drank to apologize when we met, and now I am so concerned about you for fear that you will be deceived, and the past will be in the past.

What about cutting off the robe and cutting off the righteousness? I sewed the robe back on again!

"Mr. Fang, do you know the relationship between Changhong Group and Changhong Company?" Xiong Xiaoge mentioned an obvious key point.

Fang Zhuo said calmly: "Sichuan Sichuan Changhong Group, a state-owned enterprise, owns 53.63% of the shares of the listed company "Sichuan Sichuan Changhong"."

You still said you have no idea?

Why go out of your way to investigate the shareholding ratio of someone's major shareholder when you have only just met him?

Xiong Xiaoge complained in her heart. After thinking about Mr. Fang's attitude, his style of conduct, and the development of the color TV industry for a while, he suddenly changed his mind and thought of his latest victimization record.

He squinted and spit out two words: "Ice core."

Fang Zhuo took a sip of tea: "Oh?"

Xiong Xiaoge had already guessed the context, put the situation in his mind, and asked: "The production capacity of ice cores will not be until next year at the earliest. Are you starting to look for customers now?"

"Changhong is not a customer of Bingxin, it will only be a bargaining chip to impress Bingxin customers." Fang Zhuo said that there is nothing to hide at this point. Lao Xiong's IDG is also a shareholder of Bingxin, so he can only hope that the project will go well.

He continued: "TV chips are not high-profit products, but they are quite solid. As a color TV company, this is a red ocean. From the perspective of TV chips, I am afraid there will be a growth period."

"Many of Changhong's chips are from Philips. Although Changhong's business is in decline, it is still good to get involved in this field after having ice core production capacity."

"If we can win orders from Philips through Changhong, maybe this type of chips can be won by Ice Core in the future."

"Old Bear, what do you think?"

Fang Zhuo also made his words clear.

Xiong Xiaoge frowned and pondered. It was right to take one step at a time and consider the second step. It was also right to consider the release of production capacity. Mr. Fang had always been right in planning. Oh, then this matter was indeed right.

However, Mr. Ni is getting older, Changhong's business is declining, and it is unclear whether the APEX in the United States can be solved.

He expressed these concerns and added: "Even if you help solve the APEX matter, Mr. Ni will be thinking about the favor now. Will he be able to recognize it next year? It's hard to say whether Changhong will be around at that time. .”

Fang Zhuo smiled and said: "It's just a free move. If it works, it's best. If it doesn't, then think of other ways."

"Mr. Ni is a man who has been focused on Changhong all his life. Finally, when he saw the changes in the external environment, he was unwilling to mess around. In the current situation, everything else is easy to say. I'm afraid that he is afraid of Mr. Gu's lessons learned and directly goes to New York. Stay.”

Xiong Xiaoge nodded and said: "It is true that Mr. Ni felt depressed and depressed when he drank today. His situation was not good and he was frightened. But why did he still seem to be hiding something? This is the end of it. "

Fang Zhuo said calmly: "Who knows, it's only the third time I've met him. I'm not sure about the APEX company. It's just a small favor."

Xiong Xiaogezai looked at Mr. Fang's eyes and expression carefully, but couldn't tell whether it was true or false.

Fang Zhuo was a little helpless at this observation: "Old Xiong, I've been honest enough to this point, do you still have any doubts?"

"The IPO of Yike is a serious matter now. To be honest, with my current net worth, Changhong can't get the bargaining chip. I just need to find another way, right?"

"That APEX company uses Wal-Mart's channels, and Yike also has Wal-Mart's channels. The best I can do is ask someone from the company to contact me and ask Mr. Ji to come forward to communicate and solve the problem. Otherwise, what else can I do?"

Fang Zhuo said angrily: "Is it possible that I find someone to tie up Mr. Ji? I, Fang Zhuo, am not that bad in your eyes, right?"

Xiong Xiaoge thought about it and said, yes, it won't happen, it won't happen.

He looked at the time, stood up, and stretched out his right hand: "Okay, Mr. Fang knows what's going on. Just don't be tricked by Mr. Ni. Yike No. 1 is on the market. On behalf of IDG China, I would like to formally congratulate Mr. Fang."

"Back then, when I was sitting on CCTV's mentor's chair, I never expected that I would invest in a Nasdaq-listed company. This is my honor and IDG's honor as well."

Fang Zhuo shook hands and said with a smile: "Look, look, doesn't Mr. Xiong know how to talk? He speaks so nicely. When the bell rings on the 1st, he still has to speak so well."

"Old Xiong, I am a bit reckless sometimes. I have offended something in the past. I think you have sorted it out, so I won't mention it anymore."

"Anyway, let's communicate more when we have something to do. We're all doing business."

As Yike is about to land on Nasdaq, in the open and honest atmosphere after the cocktail party, investors and businesses shook hands sincerely and looked forward to a bright future together.
