Reinventing the Millennium

The location of the tarmac no longer seems to be a secret.

In addition to Xiao Yu, three uninvited guests have appeared: Wu Hongquan, Xu Kaiwei, and Xiong Xiaoge.

Fang Zhuo turned on the lights before Mr. Xu of Goldman Sachs made criticism and self-criticism, so that the other party could see his expression. This would be a powerful feedback.

Xu Kaiwei was very serious. Just like his introduction, he criticized Mr. Fang first: "Mr. Fang, I have to criticize you. Sometimes, you are too conservative and cautious."

"Ice core needs to increase research and development funds and build a second production line. This is a good thing."

"You should have told us earlier that if you were worried about venture capital, at the very least, you should have told me that Goldman Sachs should have shown enough sincerity in licensing the ice core technology. Mr. Fang, you forgot ?"

"Mr. Fang, you preset the position that we institutional shareholders will not contribute money. This is one of the main reasons why we are going through difficult times."

Xu Kaiwei turned seriousness into sincerity: "Mr. Fang, Goldman Sachs is a shareholder of Bingxin. Isn't it chilling that you treat shareholders like outsiders?"

Fang Zhuo looked thoughtful.

Xu Kaiwei then criticized himself: "Of course, as a shareholder of Bingxin, I also have shortcomings. Although I absolutely trust Mr. Fang's leadership of Bingxin, I did not understand Bingxin's financial needs in a timely manner. "

"I only saw the good news that ice cores have started mass production, but I didn't see the increase in research and development pressure."

"I only thought that Mr. Fang's business ability and Mr. Qiu and Professor Hu's technical level were a perfect match. I didn't consider that Mr. Fang was willing to reluctantly introduce Zhang Rujing because of his technical background."

Fang Zhuo sighed lightly.

"But, Mr. Fang, just like the communication in our study room, you can't put your emotions above the three of us and Luzhou State Investment Investment because of Zhang Hongli's nonsense." Xu Kaiwei showed his attitude, "Mr. Fang, if My trust in you was 80% when you were preparing to build the ice core, so now my trust in you is 100%."

He said categorically: "Mr. Fang, Goldman Sachs supports you 100%. Ice Core needs money, and Goldman Sachs will do its part. But if Mr. Fang leaves Ice Core, then Goldman Sachs will immediately honor the agreement, liquidate and leave."

Xu Kaiwei finally repeated: "Mr. Fang, Goldman Sachs supports you 100%!"

Fang Zhuo was greatly moved.

He took a long breath and said: "How can there be any reason in the world to treat one's own shareholders as outsiders? I regard Goldman Sachs as a good partner."

"But it is not just about money. I am afraid that Bingxin is not good enough and makes mistakes in decision-making. Zhang Rujing and Zhang are always the best candidates to lead Bingxin forward."

Xu Kaiwei first nodded and admitted: "Zhang Rujing is an expert and a hero. He raised his arms and established SMIC. Now he is regarded as a thorn in the Taiwanese reporter's side."

Then he praised: "But Mr. Fang, how can you belittle yourself? Bingxin has initially planned a sketch of an industrial chain in Luzhou. In terms of integration, courage, and the ability to take over the overall situation, how can Mr. Fang be the first to do so?" Do you two think so?"

"Mr. Xu, you are so complimentary." Fang Diyi waved his hand.

"Today, I just say that Goldman Sachs supports Mr. Fang 100%." ​​Xu Kaiwei reiterated, "I never want Bingxin to change the decision-making level."

Fang Zhuo hesitated and said: "Mr. Xu, what you said really makes me not know what to say. I feel touched and ashamed. I, I will think about it carefully."

Xu Kaiwei stood up and shook hands with Mr. Fang vigorously.

The strength of the handshake is the strength of Goldman Sachs' support.

Xu Kaiwei left the tarmac.

After a while, Xiong Xiaoge came up again.

Fang Zhuo said before he could speak: "Do you have any cigarettes on you?"

Xiong Xiaoge was stunned and touched his pocket: "No."

Fang Zhuo said nothing and only looked at the old bear walking over.

Xiong Xiaoge was quiet for a few seconds, then turned and went downstairs to get a cigarette.

After a while, the two of them each lit a cigarette, blew in the cool breeze, and looked at the distant night scene.

"Besides me, who else have you had sex with?" Xiong Xiaoge smoked half a cigarette and asked.

"Why are you asking?" Fang Zhuo said calmly.

“Opinions are exchanged too quickly, and sometimes I don’t know how to speak.” Xiong Xiaoge explained.

"No, just you." Fang Zhuo gave the answer.

Xiong Xiaoge didn't believe it: "Really? Where is Mr. Xu? Don't you have a tacit understanding?"

"I will always regard you, Old Xiong, as one of my own." Fang Zhuo said seriously.

Xiong Xiaoge replied: "IDG really has no money."

Fang Zhuo nodded: "Let's smoke."

Soon, the two lit a second cigarette and looked at the stars together.

Half smoked.

Fang Zhuo asked: "How come IDG has no money?"

"On the one hand, we are taking advantage of the development of the domestic economy to increase investment. On the other hand, we are planning to save money to see if we can reverse acquire IDG Group." Xiong Xiaoge said, "This matter costs money. If you have plenty of money, I hope you can We can also be together.”

Fang Zhuo nodded: "Let's smoke."

The two of them finished their second cigarette quietly.

"I'm going down. It's not urgent as I said. I'll wait until you have money." Xiong Xiaoge said again before leaving.

Fang Zhuo waved his hand and said nothing.

It's okay if you're not in a hurry. You'll have some money on hand in a few years.

When Fang Zhuo finished smoking his third cigarette, DCM's Connor appeared in front of him.

Obviously, this group of people must have a tacit understanding and consensus, and the last one is Zhang Hongli.

Such thoughts flashed through Fang Zhuo's mind and he gave Connor a cigarette.

Connor didn't light up his cigarette and went straight to the point: "Mr. Fang, the ice core is of great importance. You can't just walk away like this!"

"I didn't just walk away. Whether it was the negotiation with Mr. Zhang Rujing or the agreement to deal with your shareholders, including the current mass production of ice cores, I think I am still very responsible." Fang Zhuo shook his head, "Even if I have to Selling ice cores will definitely ensure a smooth transition."

Connor bluntly said: "Without Mr. Fang's ice core, I am absolutely not optimistic about it."

"If you don't like it, just like Mr. Zang, if you honor the agreement in advance, DCM won't suffer a loss on this investment, right?" Fang Zhuo's attitude was not gentle.

Connor was stunned for a moment, silent for two seconds, and said: "Mr. Fang, maybe you will find it funny when I say this, but I still have to say that ice core is China Semiconductor's last hope. How can you bear to extinguish it with your own hands?" Woolen cloth?"

Fang Zhuo replied a little irritably: "Connor, what will happen between SMIC and Taiwanese journalists cannot be decided in one or two sentences. You can listen to the news, but unless Zhang Zhongmou says it personally in front of you, otherwise, It’s all just for reference.”

"SMIC takes over ice core, which definitely has more advantages than disadvantages."

"I don't understand. Are you a little too pessimistic and stubborn?"

Connor calmly asked a question: "Mr. Fang, as far as I know, Bingxin has established a wafer manufacturing service alliance, right?"

Fang Zhuo confirmed: "Yes."

"This wafer manufacturing service alliance is to promote domestic industrial development and technological progress, right?" Connor asked again.

Fang Zhuo did not answer immediately, turned to look at Connor's expression, and finally replied: "There is such a purpose, but it is not entirely like that. Only when the overall environment develops can the ice core progress better and faster. This is a An industry that needs upstream and downstream resources and talent.”

"Okay, Mr. Fang, then I want to know, since it has this significance, why doesn't SMIC join in?" Connor pointed out one point, "Is it you, Mr. Fang, who refuses SMIC to join in? Or is it Mr. Zhang Rujing who doesn't want to join in?" Come in? I think it can’t be the former, right?”

He continued: "Zhang Rujing is the head of SMIC, and you are the head of Bingxin. You have different experiences and backgrounds, and your views on corporate development are bound to be different. This is just a small example. "

"You have to leave. Do you think Professor Hu and others are really willing to work under Zhang Rujing?"

"You are always the richest man in the mainland. Even you have to carefully weigh the investment in research and development funds. Can Zhang Rujing satisfy Professor Hu's proposal?"

"Who is Professor Hu? If his proposal is rejected, how long can he stay?"

Connor took a deep breath and said loudly: "Mr. Fang, the difficulty and crisis of ice core does not lie in funds. Funds can be raised and discussed with us."

"The difficulty and crisis of ice core does not lie in competition. It naturally has the advantage of a fast-growing market like China."

"The difficulty and crisis of ice core does not lie in talent. Even if it is currently lacking, it can be gradually cultivated, and it will inevitably be more and more valued by the above policies."

"The difficulty and crisis of the ice core is not other than that of you, the general manager, who is disengaged!"

The shock on Fang Zhuo's face was once again particularly clear under the light.

"DCM is willing to invest in Ice Core. I am willing to lead the last investment, and I am also willing to participate in this financing, not only because of you, Mr. Fang, but also because the development of Ice Core is of great significance to China's semiconductor industry!" Kang Qiuen said. Dayi said, "Mr. Fang, the overall situation is the most important thing, the industry is the most important thing, and the future of semiconductors is the most important thing!"

Fang Zhuo's throat slid up and down and he was speechless.

"If one day Bingxin has to face Taiwan reporters like SMIC, and Mr. Fang stands in front of Zhang Zhongmou, then I will definitely stand next to Mr. Fang." Kang Qiuen finally said, "Mr. Fang, a man is determined to die. Look at Try your hand and mend the cracks in the sky!"

Fang Zhuo murmured: "Try it with your hands, patching the sky..."

"That's all, Mr. Fang, DCM will not leave. Even if Deutsche Bank and Goldman Sachs leave, we will look for other companies together." Kang Qiuen said righteously.

Fang Zhuo watched silently as this figure disappeared from the apron.

In any case, Xin Qiji's words are still good.

The strong love will last until death.

Fang Zhuo watched the stars alone on the tarmac for a while, and waited for the last person, Zhang Hongli.

As soon as he saw Mr. Zong, he turned around and started to go downstairs.

Zhang Hongli's planned words were suddenly disrupted by Mr. Fang's actions. He quickly grabbed his arm and said with a smile: "Mr. Fang, Mr. Fang, you are not such a stingy person. You can't just because we have some differences in opinions." Don’t even listen to what I say.”

"Do you have a disagreement?" Fang Zhuo said angrily, "You are an attack on my personality and an insult to my morality!"

"Yes, yes, yes, Mr. Fang, I sincerely apologize to you. I was reckless in this matter." Zhang Hongli sighed and said, "I thought about it, the ice core project cannot be without Mr. Fang, and I can't do it either." We should judge arbitrarily based on past events.”

Fang Zhuo sneered: "Are you apologizing? Are you apologizing with a prick?"

Zhang Hongli said helplessly: "There were indeed some things that easily misunderstood me in the past. Mr. Fang, at that time, we were on the same side. Have you forgotten?"

"So what?" Fang Zhuo squinted at Mr. Zang.

"What I mean is that this time I failed to understand Mr. Fang's spirit and did not stand with Mr. Fang. However, it was precisely because of the importance I attached to the ice core project that I lost my composure." Zhang Hongli explained, "Since then, At this point, even if Mr. Fang wants to leave the ice core, I believe you will still care about it, and we are completely on the same side."

Fang Zhuo was a little moved, and his expression softened a little.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Hongli released his hand on Mr. Fang's arm and said sincerely: "Mr. Fang, I don't know how Mr. Xu and the others communicated with you, but to be honest, I just do it for the money."

Fang Zhuo raised his eyebrows.

"As the president of Deutsche Bank Asia Pacific, I am responsible for it. I must lead Deutsche Bank forward. Regardless of commercial value or industrial goals, it is just to make money." Zhang Hongli is very straightforward, "Ice core can make money, then I will invest in it." .”

"If Bingxin can't make money, then I will withdraw my capital. If I can't withdraw, Bingxin will have to give me a gambling agreement that covers everything."

"Without Mr. Fang, Bingxin will not be able to make money, so I will honor the agreement."

"If Mr. Fang doesn't leave, I think Ice Core can continue to bring higher profits, so I will support financing."

"that's all."

Zhang Hongli smiled and said: "Mr. Fang, this is a very simple matter, right? It's not difficult for you to understand me, right?"

Fang Zhuo said "heh".

"Connor mentioned a new piece of news in the study before, and I also asked him to confirm it. Maybe there will really be a second action against SMIC by Taiwan reporters." Zhang Hongli did not mind Mr. Fang's attitude towards him, and stated, " If this happens, objectively speaking, I think there is a high possibility that Ice Core will benefit from the market, technology, policy support, etc., so Deutsche Bank will have more room to make money."

Fang Zhuo stared at Zhang Hongli.

Zhang Hongli was not afraid of Mr. Fang's sharp eyes and said: "Mr. Fang, I am not like Mr. Xu, Connor, or Mr. Xiong, but from another level, I am your strongest ally."

"As long as Mr. Fang can lead the company to make money, then Deutsche Bank and I will stand firmly behind you."

Fang Zhuo withdrew his gaze and said coldly: "I had a phone call with SMIC again in the evening. Both I and Mr. Zhang think that the cooperation prospects between the two companies are very good. Deutsche Bank should redeem the gambling agreement as soon as possible."

Zhang Hongli was shocked. He couldn't decide whether Mr. Fang's words were true or false, but that was not important. The most important thing was how to let Deutsche Bank stabilize its dual interests in SMIC and Bingxin.

Fang Zhuo added: "The ice cores are all going to be sold to SMIC. Whether you make money or not is none of my business?"

Zhang Hongli discovered a small blind spot. Mr. Fang is no longer the former Mr. Fang. He has no shortage of allies.

Is Mr. Fang making conditions? What does Mr. Fang want?

The president of Deutsche Bank's Asia-Pacific region was silent for a long time. The minor details are not important. Mr. Fang is the most important in Bingxin.

He said: "Mr. Fang, Deutsche Bank is willing to promote this financing cooperation as soon as possible. Since I have always mentioned making money, I am also willing to invest in making money. Others don't know that Deutsche Bank will definitely be the most comfortable one to spend money."

Fang Zhuo shook his head slightly and handed a cigarette to Mr. Zang: "One is separated from the other, everyone is happy, why bother?"

Zhang Hongli forced a smile.

One difference and two widths? Everyone is happy?

Why bother?

Then don't hand me cigarettes!

He said in a deep voice: "Mr. Fang, a good match is determined by fate, Deyin is willing to give you a betrothal gift."

Fang Zhuo lit a cigarette for Mr. Zang: "Everyone, please calm down. Today, Mr. Zang is very emotional, and I am indeed in a bad mood. We will discuss it in a few days, and we won't miss these few days."

"It just so happens that I'm going to New York to make a pick for my team. We'll talk about it when we get back."

Zhang Hongli took a long puff of cigarette and understood, Mr. Fang wants to see the betrothal gift, and he doesn't show off until he sees a rabbit!

It’s just before leaving for New York!
