Reinventing the Millennium

At seven o'clock in the evening, Fang Zhuo arrived at his hotel.

As soon as he got off the car, he saw one of his people squatting at the door smoking. He first asked Ni Boren, who had brought him all the way to the place, to get in the car and go back, and then slowly walked towards Liang Mu.

This former reporter, who was going to write a biography of a Chinese business figure, came here to serve as an assistant. He was in the conference room handing documents to his hands throughout the whole process.

"Mr. Fang, take one." Liang Mu glanced at the taxi driver who was leaving and handed the cigarette to the boss.

Fang Zhuo took the cigarette, lit it, took a puff, and sighed: "How about forget it and quit."

Liang Mu: "?"

He didn't speak, and they smoked together for a while before asking: "Mr. Fang, what did you and Mr. Ni talk about tonight?"

When he followed Mr. Fang to the capital for a meeting, Liang Mu heard a section of his boss's analysis of Mr. Ni, whom he met for the first time. Later, he was unable to follow the road show due to visa reasons, so he strongly requested to come with him this time.

Liang Mu knew half of the outline of the matter, and he had some guesses and supplements in his mind. He suspected that the matter had progressed to the end. The main reason was that he didn't know how the United States operated.

According to conjecture, Mr. Fang and APEX must have gone back and forth for many times, negotiated and negotiated, and finally successfully divested APEX's business.

"We didn't talk about anything. Did you see the young man who got off the car just now? That's Mr. Ni's son." Fang Zhuo said with a smile, "It was just the three of us eating together. I taught this young man some principles of life. Don't Did nothing."

Liang Mu couldn't believe it: "Really?"

"This is the most objective description." Fang Zhuo exhaled, "This is the principle of life. I don't know if the young man can take it to heart. This child looks very simple and has no experience, so I guess he will just listen to it. "

Liang Mu thought about it over and over, and could only nod: "Yes, young people are like this. Only people with experience can understand some words."

Fang Zhuo put out the smoke: "Humans, you can't listen when you have no experience. After you have experience, it may be too late. I hope Changhong can rein in the cliff this time."

When Liang Mu heard his boss talk about the company, he smiled and said, "Mr. Fang, what do you want me to write about this time I come to Changhong?"

"Young and energetic." Fang Zhuo heard this question and asked sideways, "What do you think of this word?"

Liang Mu agreed: "With Mr. Fang's success at his age, I can use this word, but I have to describe the whole thing's behavior. Your word is about people."

Fang Zhuo stood up: "Then I won't guess. I'm not as full of ink as you people. How can I guess?"

Before revealing the answer, Liang Mu asked: "Mr. Fang, today there will be administrative leaders and corporate executives. If you make a scene like this, aren't you afraid that others will say you don't cherish feathers?"

Fang Zhuo couldn't help but laugh and said: "It seems that today is destined to be a day to talk about the principles of life. Confucius once said, "Know me and sin me, only the Spring and Autumn Period. Teacher Liang must know the meaning of this sentence."

——"Spring and Autumn", the affairs of the emperor. That’s why Confucius said: “Those who know me are from the Spring and Autumn Annals! Those who sin against me are from the Spring and Autumn Annals!”

Liang Mu understood.

But he still said what he meant: "Writing "Spring and Autumn" should have been the emperor's business. Confucius was arrogant in doing so. He knew that it would be criticized and praised, but he still wrote it. Confucius insisted on what he believed to be valuable and meaningful. Keep doing it.”

"I still don't know what kind of ice core can be made. Is the yield rate high or low? Can the cost be covered? Can the order be obtained?" Fang Zhuo took out another cigarette from his pocket, "We don't Someone like Mr. Zhang of Zhongxin has a reputation and connections in the industry and can get orders from big manufacturers."

"Even for someone like Mr. Zhang, SMIC's current situation and future are worrying, let alone me."

“Do you think orders will fall from the sky?”

"Rather than begging grandpa to sue grandma when the time comes, it's better to take the initiative in your own hands."

"This thing needs to be done, whether it's meat or vegetarian." Fang Zhuo's words were more murderous, "Whether it's Ni Runfeng or you, Liang Mu..."

He suddenly smiled and handed the cigarette in his hand to Liang Mu: "My friend is here and I have a cigarette to smoke."

Liang Mu silently took the cigarette and said, "Mr. Fang, I think this section of the biography can be described by the phrase 'Fang Zhuo occasionally acts rough'."

"It's up to you." Fang Zhuo walked into the hotel, "I want to eat something more. I didn't have enough at Lao Ni's house."

Liang Mu stood at the door and asked the last question: "Mr. Fang, what principles did you teach Mr. Ni's son at his home?"

"My grandma is lucky that my son is not like his father." Fang Zhuo said without looking back.

ah?

Is the son not like the father?

In some places in Sichuan and Sichuan, grandma is called grandma.

Isn't this scolding me in front of his son?

Then Mr. Ni’s son politely sent the boss back?

What's going on?

Liang Mu smoked the cigarette given by his boss and thought for a while. He didn't know what the significance of this was, but he suddenly discovered that Mr. Fang actually said three truths today.

Know that I have sinned against you.

The Son is not like the Father.

And, everyone in the conference room taught Changhong that "people have to bow their heads under the eaves."

He finished smoking his cigarette and was about to turn around and enter the hotel when he glanced at several people with work badges walking towards him.

Liang Mu paused and saw the word "Sina" on the work badge.

Hey, people from Sina are here.

"Hey, are you looking for Mr. Fang? I'm from Yike." Liang Mu greeted.

When several people heard about Brother Company, enthusiasm suddenly appeared on their tired faces.

A group of people exchanged pleasantries, chatted and laughed as they walked into the hotel.

…

The next morning, Fang Zhuo arranged follow-up matters in the hotel room, waiting to chat and laugh with the leader at noon.

Unexpectedly, local entrepreneurs came to visit us first.

There are not many Internet companies in Chengdu, and they also have business dealings with Yi Keyan. Firstly, this group of people had hints from administrative leaders, and secondly, they were curious about what the young richest man in the country was like.

When they saw this, they were a little disappointed. Aren't they arrogant, irritable, and unreasonable?

This looks very polite and elegant.

Local entrepreneurs enthusiastically organized a group, and two groups came in. There was no room to sit in, so Fang Zhuo opened a conference room and openly hung a banner carried by one of them in the conference room.

——Welcome President Fang Zhuo to visit Chengdu for guidance.

He even brought a banner with him when he came to see people. With such enthusiasm, it was hard to say whether he was being particular or not.

Anyway, the moment the banner was hung in the conference room, there was so much applause that everyone outside could hear it.

Fang Zhuo felt everyone's enthusiasm and did not hesitate to share his views on this era. He had a good talk about China's manufacturing in the next ten years and also talked about the problems that domestic companies are likely to encounter in the United States.

Some companies tend to sit back and work until their products are non-compliant and then become dumbfounded.

Fang Zhuo spoke straightforwardly, without any exaggeration, and spoke in a very down-to-earth manner.

It's just that the richest man in the country has an aura when he stands in front of him, not to mention that he has real information.

After chatting for a while, the entrepreneurs in Chengdu were not only impressed with their admiration, but also believed that this person really lived up to his reputation.

At 11 o'clock in the morning, the enjoyable exchange meeting for small entrepreneurs ended.

Fang Zhuo finally smiled and said: "I came to Sichuan and Chengdu this time mainly to see if there is anything we can do with our Yike's overseas channels and Changhong. I participated in Changhong's high-level meeting yesterday, and it was generally okay. joy."

"Seeing you all again today is a worthwhile trip."

"It just so happens that I have a team from Sina here. Let's take a photo together as a souvenir. When you come to Shanghai in the future, be sure to call me if you need anything."

Sina's reporter took several photos with his camera to end the exchange meeting.

There was a reception banquet for the leader at noon. Not all of these people could attend, so they consciously set aside time for Mr. Fang.

Fang Zhuo said goodbye to everyone with a smile on his face, and asked Sina's reporters to write down what happened in the morning and then bring it back for review.

When he left the conference room, got on the elevator and returned to his suite, the head of Changhong, who had had a drink yesterday, was already there.

Ni Runfeng sat quietly in the reception room of the suite, while Liang Mu served as his assistant and poured tea.

"Lao Ni is here." Fang Zhuo greeted him as usual, turned to Liang Mu and said, "Teacher Liang, please go out and close the door."

Considering that guests would come to visit from time to time, the door of the suite was left open and a curtain was left to entertain guests.

"Uh, Mr. Fang." Liang Mu said eagerly that he didn't want to leave.

Fang Zhuo waved to him, refusing to refuse.

Liang Mu had no choice but to pour tea for the boss before slowly leaving the suite.

This was obviously a secret conversation, but he couldn't participate in it. It was like putting a Man-Han banquet in front of a glutton and then keeping his mouth shut!

The door was closed and both of them drank tea slowly.

Ni Runfeng's mood was still not calm. He stayed up almost all night last night. The mixture of strong shock, shame and other emotions paralyzed his entire mind.

However, the matter still needs to be resolved, and it is a blessing among misfortunes that Changhong's overseas channels can stop losses.

After all, Ni Runfeng had gone through ups and downs and had been in charge of the company for so many years of business competition. He suddenly calmed down at dawn and began to think about President Xiao Fang's intentions and what the young president wanted.

After hearing a heart-wrenching sentence at the dinner table last night, Ni Runfeng suddenly felt that Xiao Fang was always wrapped in a layer of fog that made it difficult to see and understand.

When did he find out?

Did you find out about it only after working with APEX in the past few days, or did you know about it when you were in New York years ago?

Has he seen Ji Longfen? What else does he have in his hand?

Even the position of the Cadwalader law firm that was originally recommended has become unclear. Did the Martin lawyer help?

The more Ni Runfeng thought about it, the more he became frightened.

The shock this time was not because of being exposed through the disguise, knowing about the mother's earnest expectations, and being taught a lesson from a distance in front of her son, but simply because she was shocked by Mr. Xiao Fang's methods.

If you are so careful, you must have a plan.

But, what exactly are you planning on?

Ni Runfeng was puzzled. It was almost impossible for Changhong's business to interact with Mr. Xiao Fang, and its status as a major shareholder was extremely strong. It was impossible for Mr. Xiao Fang himself to seek a corporate position.

What exactly is the purpose of all these means?

Even if he dies, Ni Runfeng still wants to understand.

I see the dagger in the picture, I see the dagger in the picture, where is this dagger stabbing?

So, here he comes.

He asked very directly after a cup of tea with a feeling of breaking a jar: "Mr. Fang, what do you want?"

Don’t ask about the cooperation with APEX, don’t ask when did you start calculating against yourself, don’t ask how to calculate against yourself, just ask where the interests lie.

Fang Zhuo also tore off the gentle exterior and said rudely and bluntly: "I want all of Changhong's product chips to be replaced with wafers produced by Bingxin. I want Changhong and Bingxin to be bundled together and designate foundries for upstream manufacturers."

Ni Runfeng never expected this to be the reason.

He froze in place.

After a while, Ni Runfeng asked in disbelief: "Ice core, ice core seems to have been built last year? Has it been put into production?"

Fang Zhuo said calmly: "So, I think you can continue to be the chairman of Changhong until it is put into production."

Ni Runfeng seemed to have his throat choked by the man in front of him.

He thought it was a bit absurd, ice core?

Is it because of the ice core? !

Ni Runfeng was in a surging mood. He thought a lot for a moment, and finally turned it into one sentence: "If I didn't talk to you on the plane, would you still choose Changhong?"

Fang Zhuo didn't like assumptions, but he still replied: "I don't know, it will probably be another lucky person."

"Lucky man, lucky man." Ni Runfeng chewed the word. He was indeed a lucky man. Without Yike's help, Changhong would not have been able to solve overseas problems, but he could not be happy anyway.

He smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Fang, why are you going to such trouble? You can just negotiate cooperation with me and Changhong normally."

Fang Zhuo smiled slightly and didn't want to answer this kind of question at all.

Ni Runfeng also immediately realized the huge difference between the two cooperation methods.

Because of the bad debts abroad, Changhong has now been hijacked, and the one who is more hijacked is himself.

Cooperation in this situation is the initiative that Xiaofang always wants.

Fang Zhuo made his tone gentler. Mr. Ni is very calm now, which is good. Mr. Ni also seems to be smart, which is even better. There is no need to show the existence of recordings, as long as there is a tacit understanding between each other.

"Lao Ni, chips are not that important for TVs, and I don't covet Changhong at all. On the contrary, I really want Changhong to be well, and I really want you to be able to take Changhong with you. I believe you can understand this."

Ni Runfeng could understand, but he felt that Xiaofang might always think a bit simplistic.

"Mr. Fang, since this is the case, I will tell the truth. Changhong's situation is already very bad."

"Including the technology upgrade direction you mentioned on the board of directors before is not that simple. Changhong is a typical example of military-to-enterprise transformation. It already has some plasma technology. It is difficult for me to influence this direction with my current situation."

"Even with Mr. Fang's words and experts from Goldman Sachs, the company will continue to debate for a long time, and there may even be a direction of plasma as the mainstay and liquid crystal as the supplement."

"I actually agree with Mr. Fang's judgment, but some things are not so easy to reverse. In this case, I am not sure if I have passed this board meeting and there will be another one."

Ni Runfeng has been extremely candid. Part of it is the truth, and part of it is to say it first, so as not to be offended by the person in front of him when he fails to do something.

There is a holding group at the top, local administration on the side, and some intangible influence behind the scenes. The positions of chairman and general manager do not have as strong a say in some decisions as imagined.

However, Ni Runfeng did not see the disappointed look on Mr. Xiaofang's face.

"I wish Changhong well. No one wants their partner to be a waste. Changhong really can't take the plasma path." Fang Zhuo made a clear conclusion first, and then said, "Old Ni, since Changhong is so constrained here, why don't you jump out? Can you handle this circle better?"

Ni Runfeng didn't understand. How could he dance like this?

Fang Zhuo rubbed his fingers and said slowly: "Gu Zoujun, do you know?"

Ni Runfeng nodded, of course he knew that when he was under public fire, it was Gu Zoujun of Greencool who jumped out and drew all the firepower away. Now that he is still inside, it is said that the situation is not good.

"Gu Zoujun and I have had a double relationship." Fang Zhuo talked about fate, "He owns 20% of the shares of Luzhou Meiling and is the major shareholder. In Greencool's current situation, these shares must be spit out. .”

"Changhong can take over this major shareholder, which will not only transform white goods, but also focus on technology upgrades outside, reducing local constraints on you and Changhong."

Fang Zhuo said with bright eyes: "Meiling is in Luzhou. Although this major shareholder only has 20% of the shares, I can say something in Anhui Province. How about this?"

Ni Runfeng stared at Mr. Fang, his throat sliding up and down, and he suddenly shuddered. How many people are still being calculated?

So cunning and cruel, is this the true face of the richest man in the country?
