Reinventing the Millennium

Zhang Hongli has great distrust of Fang Zhuo.

Likewise, he also suspected that Xiong Xiaoge was Fang Zhuo's accomplice.

Even if they are both shareholder institutions, even if they are both venture capitalists, but let’s not talk about the industry, just talk about Bingxin’s first round of financing, wasn’t that DCM jointly delivered to Fang Zhuo first by several companies?

Colleagues cannot believe it.

Zhang Hongli left phone time for Mr. Xiong and Mr. Fang, thinking that he could also confirm the authenticity of the news from the parties involved.

The client who went to the United States to watch the game couldn't believe his words, and there was another client in Shanghai.

Zhang Rujing, Mr. Zhang, people like him are not too mysterious, right?

Zhang Hongli dialed SMIC's Mr. Zhang's phone number.

Also outspoken and straight to the point.

"Mr. Zhang, does SMIC intend to acquire Bingxin? Are you talking to Mr. Fang about his shares? What are the considerations? Is it a responsible decision for SMIC itself? After all, SMIC still faces To compensate the reporter."

Zhang Hongli used SMIC’s corporate situation as an example.

"Uh, um..." Zhang Rujing was confused by the question as soon as he answered the phone. He hesitated for a few seconds and said, "There are indeed talks about cooperation between SMIC and Bingxin. As for what it will look like, it depends on the progress of the negotiations. .”

Zhang Hongli was dissatisfied with this vague statement and asked directly: "Will equity be involved? What is Mr. Fang's attitude towards the equity in his hands? Does this mean that he will leave Bingxin, which he founded?"

Zhang Rujing felt a little headache. Mr. Fang had greeted him before, but he didn't say he would face such questioning.

He replied a little displeasedly: "Mr. Zhang, even if you are acting from the standpoint of a shareholder, it is difficult for me to tell you more specific information about the cooperation that has not yet been reached. This is extremely irresponsible."

Zhang Hongli said seriously: "There have been such rumors in the market recently. We at Deutsche Bank are doing a research report involving SMIC and will issue a rating on SMIC stock."

"Of course, as a shareholder of SMIC and Bingxin, I don't think my question is out of the ordinary."

Deutsche Bank was an institutional shareholder of SMIC during its financing in 2001, and the relationship between the two parties was quite pleasant.

From this perspective, it is indeed not surprising, and the answer to such questions is also of great importance.

Zhang Rujing was silent for a few seconds, remembering Mr. Fang's words - the domestic semiconductor industry is on the same front. Moreover, the current technological backwardness of Bingxin does not mean that Professor Hu Zhengming's FinFET technology does not require exchanges and learning.

Fang is finally one of his own.

Deutsche Bank, represented by Zhang Hongli, is a shareholder and can be considered one of its own.

We are all our own people, so let’s talk on a first-come, first-served basis.

Zhang Rujing replied: "Mr. Fang is open to selling his shares. The specific outcome really depends on the negotiations between the two parties."

Selling 1% is selling, selling everything is also selling.

Negotiating for one second is a negotiation, and negotiating for a week is also a negotiation.

Zhang Hongli was shocked when he heard the answer from the head of SMIC, but subconsciously felt that there was more room for maneuver in such an unclear answer.

He thanked Zhang Rujing, exchanged a few words and ended the call.

After half a cigarette in the office, Zhang Hongli still believed in himself and lowered his trust in Zhang Rujing.

Regarding the last round of cooperation with Fang Zhuo, I can’t be too cautious now!

Zhang Hongli is not the kind of person who trips over the same stone twice, and he prefers to trust his own judgment.

Before calling Xiong Xiaoge to ask him about Fang Zhuo's question, Zhang Hongli notified Goldman Sachs' Xu Kaiwei and DCM's Connor of the situation. He did not give his own judgment, but just passed on the information he got.

"Mr. Xiong, how are you? What does Mr. Fang mean?" Zhang Hongli asked.

"He admitted that there were cooperation negotiations with SMIC and denied that he was leaving the ice core." Xiong Xiaoge hesitated and said, "Mr. Zhang, do you have any definite information? You can't rely on speculation on this kind of thing. I gave him angrily. Mr. Fang fought him and ended up having a quarrel."

Zhang Hongli said calmly: "Mr. Zhang of SMIC told me that Mr. Fang is open to selling his shares."

Xiong Xiaoge was not shocked by these words: "What kind of attitude is an open attitude? I am still open to inviting Mr. Fang to be the president of IDG. Can I be invited?"

"So, there must be a charter for this matter." Zhang Hongli said slowly, "We have to communicate and find out what is going on. Mr. Fang's style, Mr. Xiong, you also know, you must not be easily fooled by him. past."

He continued: "I will be in Beijing in two days to handle the Deutsche Bank project. Then I will make an appointment with Mr. Xu from Goldman Sachs and Connor from DCM. Let's all give an attitude. The prospects for the development of ice cores are very good, and mass production has just begun. , and Professor Hu Zhengming is in charge of the engineering team.”

"I recently invested in Morningstar Semiconductor in Baodao. I heard that Mr. Fang gained a high reputation in the TV industry a while ago. Morningstar Semiconductor is very hopeful to obtain large orders in the market."

"These are all good for ice core. Any internal friction at this juncture is irresponsible to the enterprise and the domestic semiconductor industry."

Zhang Hongli speaks righteously.

Xiong Xiaoge felt speechless for a while.

He didn't say much and agreed to meet with the other three companies in two days to give them a unified communication opinion.

In fact, even if he hasn't seen it yet, Xiong Xiaoge can guess that, just like Zhang Hongli said, at such a favorable moment and with such promising prospects, who is willing to let go?

He could feel that Zhang Hongli didn't trust him, nor did he trust Fang Zhuo.

Looking ahead in my career, it is extremely rare to see such cooperation without mutual trust.

Two days passed in a blink of an eye.

When Xiong Xiaoge was preparing to meet his enemy in the evening, his subordinate Mu Feifei came to the office again with a serious expression.

"Mr. Xiong, there is news in the media again. This time there is news from Sina, and it is about ice cores."

"Sina claims that SMIC may reach investment cooperation with Bingxin."

"Mr. Xiong, I suspect that Mr. Fang may want to sell the ice core to SMIC!"

Xiong Xiaoge was shocked for a while: "Why do you think so?"

Mu Feifei blinked: "That's Mr. Fang. He has always been so... so unreasonable."

"I called him and asked him, but he denied it." Xiong Xiaoge shook his head.

Mu Feifei said a little seriously: "Mr. Xiong, you can't believe this! Should you pay more attention to this news? You must verify it more."

She felt that Boss Xiong was a little slow this time.

Xiong Xiaoge looked at the subordinate in front of him who had never met Mr. Fang before. Even she did not trust Mr. Fang's integrity. Thinking about her reminder to him, he couldn't help but sigh.

Mr. Fang has to sit and wait for the money to be delivered to his door this time!

Those who wish take the bait!

He relies on everyone's distrust of his business ethics, recognition of his personal abilities and unavoidable desire for profits to swing the fishing rod!
