Reinventing the Millennium

After returning to Shanghai from New York, Fang Zhuo basically dealt with interpersonal matters.

Because of the success of the company's listing, Yike originally considered holding a grand annual meeting, but the boss returned home too late, so the half-planned annual meeting was cancelled, and it may be returned in the form of an annual meeting.

On January 29, Fang Zhuo had some casual interactions with various parties for several days in a row, but he still had one regret in his heart - not meeting Professor Hu Zhengming.

Before he went abroad, Professor Hu Zhengming had not come to HKUST from the United States. When Fang Zhuo went abroad, the semiconductor industry giant arrived at HKUST and had a formal framework for cooperation. Now that Fang Zhuo has returned to China... he has also returned to the United States to spend time with his family. Celebrate the Chinese New Year together.

The time was not coincidental, and Fang Zhuo felt that some communications were suitable for face-to-face conversations. In addition, the two had never met, so talking about ice core, TSMC, and industry trends on the phone never felt right.

When Hu Zhengming came to HKUST, he knew that there was a wafer fab project in Luzhou.

Whether the two parties are in love with each other or just don't like each other can only be known by real contact.

Therefore, as the Chinese people around the world are approaching the reunion festival, Fang Zhuo took comprehensive considerations and sent an extremely simple message of blessing to the professor for whom he had high hopes - wishing Professor Hu a happy family reunion and a happy new year.

The signature is: Bingxin Fangzhuo.

The reply was quick and simple - I wish Mr. Fang all the best in the new year.

It was rare for Fang Zhuo to repeatedly ponder the meaning of other people's words. When he sat on the sofa at home, repeatedly looking at the screen of his mobile phone without operating it, his mother's words reached his ears in time.

"female?"

"ah?"

"Did it come from your crush?"

"Yeah, ah no, he's one of my potential collaborators."

Fang Zhuo came back to his senses and smiled at his mother, Zhao Shumei, who was posting Spring Festival couplets at home: "I want to cooperate with him, but I'm afraid he won't come, so I'm a little worried about gains and losses. I'll try to figure out what blessings he replied, and I'll think about what to do with him in the future. How to communicate.”

Zhao Shumei came over and looked at the phone, and found that there was only one sentence on it, and asked strangely: "Just one sentence?"

Fang Zhuo was really worried about gains and losses: "Well, one sentence, success in everything seems to be commonly used in Guangdong culture. This is a professor. He was born in the capital, but he soon came to Baodao, and then went to the United States to study. I I'm afraid that this thinking is not on the same line, but he, his father and brother set up a scholarship in a middle school in his ancestral home of Changzhou a few years ago, so there should still be emotional recognition."

Zhao Shumei asked: "How did it feel when you met and talked?"

"We haven't met yet." Fang Zhuo put away his phone.

"We haven't met yet...you know so much about other people...it would be great if you were so serious about starting a family." Zhao Shumei was surprised and sighed.

Fang Zhuo has indeed studied a lot of information about Hu Zhengming. It would be an exaggeration to say that he knows it by heart, but he has understood it at every stage of his life, and he just wants to use his utmost sincerity to let this professor enter his camp.

"I'm too busy, Mom. I fly here and there all day long. Who can I find to start a family with? How about I find a flight attendant? That would be a lot more convenient." Fang Zhuo joked.

Zhao Shumei said seriously: "Try to find someone who doesn't just like your money, but someone you can get along with happily. If money is no longer a condition, the spiritual aspect is very important."

Fang Zhuo was silent for a few seconds: "It seems a bit difficult."

Zhao Shumei nodded and settled for the next best thing: "Then find someone beautiful, even a flight attendant. If you look happy, I will look happy too."

Fang Zhuo: "..."

He changed the subject: "Last time before I went abroad, my dad told me about the ancestral place of Fang. After the New Year, I won't be able to accompany you. There are too many things. I will ask the medical department to form a small team to follow. When the time comes, I will be happy." .”

To say that this person has achieved something, it is indeed easy to talk about honoring his ancestors and honoring his ancestral home. Just like Professor Hu, he would also set up a scholarship for the school where his ancestors came from.

Fang Zhuo doesn't mind this aspect, as long as his parents are happy. Regardless of his ancestral home, his hometown can also provide appropriate assistance. If there is no suitable industry, then he should learn to set up more scholarships for poor students.

He took advantage of the Chinese New Year to talk about this idea, and his family members all agreed with it.

Fang Zhuo set the budget for both his ancestral home and his hometown at five million, a total of ten million, which is about the size of three Ferraris. The relevant project establishment will be handled by people from the company, so he will not show up.

It’s New Year’s Eve soon.

After the usual busy schedule of phone calls and text messages, Fang Zhuo left the last call to Comrade Ni.

"Lao Ni, everything goes well in the new year." Fang Zhuo blessed him cheerfully, and then asked the real question in the next sentence, "Are you and Changhong okay?"

"Mr. Fang, we are making a lot of money." Ni Runfeng's voice was inevitably heavy, "It's okay, the situation may be a bit grim, and everyone generally has doubts about Changhong's overseas strategy."

He took the initiative and asked: "Mr. Fang, you said last time that you had news about APEX's CEO Ji. Have you found the person now?"

Fang Zhuo said calmly: "He is like a rabbit. The news is true, and the person is missing. I asked lawyer Martin to see if I can find a better solution."

Ni Runfeng was quite disappointed. The lawyer had long said that the legal process would be lengthy.

The two chatted for a while, and Fang Zhuo once again asked whether there was any need to exchange information, and Ni Runfeng still expressed his gratitude.

In the current situation, the head of Changhong has vaguely felt that something is wrong in the atmosphere. Many of the leaders he had been close to were closed doors, and there are now rumors in the company that he is about to retire.

While Ni Runfeng was making amends for the many subsidiaries originally established by Changhong, he also directed finance to continue to suppress the company's provisions, intending to have a relatively stable response to the upcoming annual report.

According to his own estimation, if the company really wants to make any adjustments to his duties, it will have to wait for the annual report to be released. Now it is just a hint of the coming storm, and it has not yet reached the final moment of implementation.

On the night of New Year's Eve, Fang Zhuo ended his call with Lao Ni. After thinking about it, he still felt uneasy. He called Deputy Chief Zheng Danrui, who had already paid New Year's greetings.

This brother, who came from the development reform background, has many connections in state-owned assets. He can help find clues and inquire about the situation, so that he can be prepared.

Fang Zhuo had put a lot of effort into Changhong's affairs.

After all these events, his attention returned to his own industries. Unlike in the past, the end of the Spring Festival this year was the time for several companies to work together in different fields.

After all, he is still listed, and he is also considered the richest man. He has more money at his disposal, and he will have a new look in the new year.

…

Chengdu.

Changhong's former general manager Zhao Yong had a very busy New Year's Eve. After contacting him again, the previously finalized matters became clearer. The group agreed in principle to the change of positions and expressed satisfaction with himself.

However, they are still hesitant about the replacement time.

Zhao Yong has a decisive character. In order to avoid long nights and dreams, he plans to let Changhong Company remove the chairman through the board of directors process so that the group will know what people want.

Therefore, he contacted many directors and set the board meeting on February 7th, the seventh day of the lunar month. He decided not to move and would kill with one blow.

In the new year and the new atmosphere, Zhao Yong has silently locked his opponent Ni Runfeng in the dark and will never give him another chance to make a comeback. This is also a different kind of gift.
