Reinventing the Millennium

Sometimes, people don't realize anything when they are there. Once they face loss, their importance becomes highlighted.

The presidents of the four venture capital firms Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, DCM, and IDG all feel this way.

The situation of ice cores is very special.

Review, technology, and funding are all indispensable.

Whether before the Ice Core project was established or now that mass production has begun, everyone’s impression of Ice Core and its founder is that this is a wafer foundry founded by Fang Zhuo, a layman.

But to reach this point, from the perspective of the four venture capital companies, it is impossible to do without this layman.

Xiong Xiaoge was mentally prepared for the consensus reached by his peers. In addition to lamenting in his heart that Mr. Fang had a damn clear understanding of himself, he was also vaguely excited.

No wonder Mr. Fang always wants to take money out of other people's pockets, so that's how it feels!

"Mr. Xu, Mr. Zhang, and Connor, this is the semiconductor industry prospect analysis report compiled internally by IDG. You can read it first. I'll call Mr. Fang to see what kind of contact regulations we can get."

Xiong Xiaoge distributed three research reports, took his mobile phone, and walked out of the conference room, preparing to play his negotiating role.

The report is quite thick and the format is good.

But while Xu Kaiwei and Connor were drinking tea and reading, Zhang Hongli of Deutsche Bank put down his report, stood up under the sight of the two presidents, and walked slowly to the door of the conference room.

Then, he met the eyes of the two people and made a gesture of leaning against the door and listening.

Xu Kaiwei and Connor looked strange as they looked at the dignified CEO's upright eavesdropping behavior.

Zhang Hongli put his ear against the door and couldn't hear anything, but he still listened for a while, then slowly walked back and sat in his original position again.

He picked up the teacup, smiled at the two CEOs opposite him, and said nothing.

But everything was kept secret. He did not trust Xiong Xiaoge, the president of IDG.

This was mentioned implicitly when contacting Xu Kaiwei and Connor in the past two days. However, sitting here, they should now know how much they distrust Xiong Xiaoge, who wears the same pants as Fang Zhuo!

Who is the president of IDG?

He is the millionaire on Fang Zhuo’s blog “How to Become a Millionaire”!

He is the answerer to the first question on Quora, the Fangzhuo Q\u0026A community: "What are the right decisions that a good investor has made?"

If such a person can believe him, then he is blind!

Zhang Hongli put down his tea cup and saw Xu Kaiwei and Connor looking at each other, but neither of them said anything.

However, when Xiong Xiaoge walked into the conference room again, the real atmosphere had changed.

"I called Mr. Fang twice before he got through! I said I wanted to talk to him about ice cores, but he said he had to watch the game in Houston and was not available now!" Xiong Xiaoge said a little annoyed, "He said he would wait. Let’s talk when he returns home!”

Zhang Hongli said: "Mr. Xiong, we need to see whether Mr. Fang is sincere in selling his shares, and we also need to prevent him from doing this. We can't let him delay."

In one sentence, Xiong Xiaoge heard the second half of the sentence, while Xu Kaiwei and Connor heard the first half.

Yes, Ice Core cannot live without Fang Zhuo, but is Fang Zhuo about to leave Ice Core?

Such a person suddenly regards investment and preferential policies in his hometown as nothing, and suddenly gives up his original ambitious plan?

This is somewhat strange.

Xu Kaiwei and Connor had similar thoughts. Following Mr. Zhang's actions and questions, they wanted to put a question mark on everything that happened in front of them, and they also wanted to put a big question mark on Mr. Xiong.

They didn't quite believe Mr. Xiong's retelling.

However, Xiong Xiaoge was really a little annoyed. He did call twice before getting through, and he did receive the reply "We'll talk after we return home."

What he didn't say was that as a collaborator, he angrily scolded Mr. Fang, but the latter didn't feel it at all.

"Mr. Xiong, Mr. Zong is right." Xu Kaiwei said cautiously, "If Mr. Fang has other ideas in his mind, he can't explain it clearly in a few words on the phone. Even if he admits it, we can't bring him back like this. On track.”

"So, since he won't come back, let's go over and see him."

"Shareholders and chairman of the board need to be closer."

He added at the end: "Shout the people from Luzhou State Investment Corporation as well. The local government is also a corporate shareholder, so we cannot ignore their interests."

Xu Kaiwei is very thorough. No matter what Mr. Fang thinks, a shareholder with such a special background of Luzhou State Investment can test it out. Even in the worst case scenario, lobbying with people from Luzhou State Investment can produce different effects. .

Zhang Hongli's eyes lit up, and he realized that President Xu's meaning was profound. Luzhou SDIC's performance in this matter was also a good reference.

Xiong Xiaoge was a little hesitant and ran to the United States again to see Mr. Fang. He might as well go back to the American headquarters.

Moreover, this development is different from what I imagined.

There are two differences. Mr. Fang's will not come back, but Venture Capital's will go.

At this time, Connor also expressed his position: "Okay, let's just say it without further delay. There is nothing to prepare. We are the most sincere when we come in front of President Fang."

Three of the four people expressed the same idea.

Xiong Xiaoge couldn't say anything, so he could only agree.

The four venture capital companies arranged their work separately, took one or two assistants with them, and quickly got on the early morning plane and headed straight to the United States.

If you can't come over, I will go over.

In Xiong Xiaoge's phone call to Mr. Fang before boarding the plane, he described it this way - "We are all here with sincerity and for the development of ice cores."

but……

When they arrived in Houston and were taken from the airport to Mr. Fang's villa, they felt that everything in front of them was completely different from what they expected.

lively!

lively! !

lively! ! !

Mr. Fang bought a large villa in Houston. It was originally deserted, but on the day when the championship was decided in the final game between the Rockets and the Pistons, the villa was almost abuzz with people.

Connor was surprised.

Zhang Hongli was stunned.

Xu Kaiwei was surprised.

Xiong Xiaoge was stunned.

The group of them walked past events such as holding plates, walking on stilts, and stacking Arhats, and all the thoughts racing in their hearts were suddenly silenced.

Soon, I met Mr. Fang who was in a hurry.

"Hey, Lao Xiong, Mr. Xu, Mr. Zhang, and Connor are all here. Go in, go in, take your people to drink tea, find a spare room to rest by yourself, and eat whatever you want." Fang Zhuo saw the dusty country. A group of people greeted, "Tonight is the most critical game for my team. We have to be busy with this. If you have anything else to do, wait until it's over."

Xiong Xiaoge pointed outside: "I understand the competition, but what's going on with the acrobatics?"

"The tiebreaker of the finals will be decided by one game, and it will be broadcast live across the United States!" Fang Zhuo said excitedly, "Such a halftime performance, the Shanghai Acrobatic Troupe I specially invited from China, has to open the eyes of foreigners, and it can be considered Spread Eastern culture.”

"I'm telling you, I've watched the preview, and in one word, it's awesome!"

"Come on, let me introduce you."

"Oh, yes, we're already here for the game tonight, so come and watch it with me. I'll make a call and save two more spots."

"Oh, tonight, I tell you, the championship, the championship!"

Under Mr. Fang's gushing, Zhang Hongli, Xu Kaiwei, Connor and even Xiong Xiaoge were a little dizzy, as if the situation was a little different from what they imagined.
