Reinventing the Millennium.

From New York to Shanghai, from one night to another.

Nothing seems to have changed.

YIKE is still rising, and the city outside the window is still bustling.

Philip leaned on the balcony of the presidential suite, feeling as if he hadn't been on a plane at all.

On the Shencheng side, the intraday trading of Yike stock is from 09:30 in the evening to [-]:[-] in the morning.

In just a few hours of the third trading day, YIKE's long-short game has been quite intense.

After zero o'clock, two heavy news once dampened the stock price.

Nokia announced that it will continue to complain to the ITC about the patent infringement of its latest two models, Mars3 and Selfy.

ITC announced that some Apple models infringed Nokia's patents, and imposed a ban on sales.

And, ITC responded to media interviews, positively stating that if Mars3 and Selfy have problems similar to those of previous infringing models, they will deal with them strictly and promptly.

With such news and funds taking advantage of the situation, YIKE’s stock price plummeted to $200 from a high of $198.28, which was about to break through $170.

Then... Although it was just a jump in the numbers, Philip seemed to see the retail investors rushing in one after another.

The stock price was pushed back bit by bit like the previous two trading days!
A group of retail investors left, and another group of retail investors rushed in!
The stock price fluctuated and went up!

By the time Philip fell asleep, YIKE closed at $186.18 on the third trading day.

Compared with the closing price of 162.79 US dollars in the previous trading day, it has only increased by 23.39 US dollars.

How much?Not much.

Compared with the pre-market price of 184.35 US dollars, today's intraday increase was only a mere 1.83 US dollars.

That's not much more.

The problem is that this intraday transaction was smashed with heavy bad news, so not only did it not fall, but it even rose by $1.83.

Seeing the stock price, Philip thought the situation was more serious than he thought.

However, there are still different opinions within Goldman Sachs—now it is a game of drumming and spreading flowers. It is impossible for retail investors to persist until the end without collapsing.

Philip normally trusts professionals very much.

only……

After three trading days, the stock price is still higher.

Who is washing whom?

He thought of a saying from Huaxia, a blunt knife cuts flesh.

Philip took two sips of wine, and fell asleep with the good news that Twitter was hacked.

I fell asleep at four o'clock, and sat in the car to Luzhou at eight o'clock.

Philip felt his head was in a daze.

"Didn't sleep well? It's okay, you sleep in the car."

Fang Zhuo saw Philip's extremely obvious dark circles, and understood: "Next time, don't stay up late to watch the market, we can't decide, so what else to watch?"

Philip rubbed his face, and asked helplessly, "In this case, Mr. Fang, why do you still like it on Twitter late at night?"

"That was ordered by the assistant." Fang Zhuo said calmly, "I post all the texts myself, not all the likes are my own."

Philip's heart beat a little faster, suspected to be caused by insufficient sleep time.

He asked seriously again: "Mr. Fang, do you know that Twitter is still inaccessible?"

Fang Zhuo nodded, still calm: "Scrap Twitter, the server should spend money again."

It is obviously other factors, so I have to follow Twitter's official statement.

It started to rain lightly outside the car.

Looking at the blurred scenery outside, Philip suddenly felt that what Mr. Fang said from yesterday to today was also reasonable. The matter is already like this. It is not up to him to decide, and it is probably not up to him. Everything that needs to be reported has been reported. Henry and Lloyd We've called, so let it be.

The current financial struggle will not be too long. I don't know whether the last straw will come from the ITC or the SEC, but it will come eventually.

Philip was silent for a while, then suddenly asked: "Mr. Fang, do you think the ITC's additional ruling on Nokia's latest complaint will crush the stock price of Yike?"

When he asked this sentence, he felt naive, how could the other party answer such a question sincerely.

"Judging from the current situation, the authority of ITC is ineffective for the emotions of retail investors." Fang Zhuo was also looking at the rain scene outside the window, and replied casually, "In terms of finance, ITC's bad news seems authoritative, but This kind of authority that is not recognized by irrationality is not authority."

Philip stared intently.

Fang Zhuo gave an example: "It's as if Lloyd is the president of your Goldman Sachs. His position brings the authority of his orders, but if the orders given to you now conflict with Paulson, you are unwilling to implement them. The so-called Is the authority of the president still authoritative to you?"

Philip felt that the authoritative and non-authoritative ones should be put aside first, Mr. Fang, why are you so sincere...

"So do you think this can last?" he pressed.

Just like Goldman Sachs' internal analysis, the fighting process cannot last forever. Even if Mr. Fang's own funds or some relationship funds he colluded with benefit from it, the company Yike is likely to be destroyed.

What's the point?No matter how profitable it is, can it compare to a promising listed company itself?
"I don't know if it can continue. Nokia and your organization are the first to cause trouble." Fang Zhuo shook his head and said impatiently, "I have said several times that the button to end is not with me. Have you seen this kind of retail investors before? Isn’t it cultivated by your institutions?”

The topic came back.

Philip fell silent again.

The convoy made its way through increasing rain, which is why no private jets were flown today.

"Mr. Fang, Twitter has resumed."

The voice from the co-pilot broke Philip's thoughts.

Fang Zhuo said "hmm": "Order."

Philip pretended not to hear. At this time, he was strongly opposed to coercing the emotions of retail investors, and he might be thrown out of the car.

This time I didn't think about the situation again. Yesterday I was catching a plane and I didn't sleep until early in the morning. I really couldn't hold on.

After an unknown amount of time, it was the solemn voice of the co-pilot who woke up the blurred Philip.

"There is a situation, two cars are following up." Secretary Liu Zonghong received a report from the car behind.

Philip was taken aback suddenly, did the company start?This is in China!
Fang Zhuo was not worried at all, and took a sip of water: "Stay aside, be careful."

Soon, the convoy stopped in the emergency lane with double flashes.

Security assistants got out of the car at the front and back, Fang Zhuo didn't open the door, and secretary Liu Zonghong got out with an umbrella.

Two minutes later, he came back to report the situation: "Mr. Fang, the leader of Changzhou Merchants, said that he happened to recognize our car in the same direction."

Fang Zhuo smiled in surprise, "Such a coincidence?"

He saw that the leader over there had already got out of the car and trotted over in the rain, so he also got out of the car and went forward to meet him.

Under the rain, the two sides shook hands.

The person who came here was Zhao Weihua, the deputy head in charge of Changzhou's business, investment promotion and other work.

"Come, come, leader, let's get in the car and talk, it's raining, it's not safe to park here." Fang Zhuo greeted the leader quickly and let the leader get in the car.

He is sitting in a modified seven-seater commercial vehicle today, which has enough space.

Zhao Weihua got into the car, and arranged for Yuli's subordinates to follow the convoy in the original car.

After wiping off the rain a little and making another half cup of tea, the two sides exchanged serious greetings again.

Zhao Weihua explained the whole story clearly when he saw Mr. Fang himself, so as not to cause misunderstandings and counterproductive effects.

It turned out that when the convoy was at the toll booth, Fang Zhuo's car window was open. The toll collector recognized the convoy of the richest man, so he couldn't help posting a Weibo that attracted onlookers.

Coincidentally, Zhao Weihua and his group, who returned to the city after finishing the investment promotion activities, noticed the hot search on Weibo. After calculating the time, they changed direction with the mentality of trying it out, and got on the highway in the same direction. Just when they wanted to contact Yike, they noticed Mr. Fang fleet.

"Leader, we have such enthusiasm for attracting business in our city, why worry about companies not coming." Fang Zhuo couldn't help laughing when he heard the reason.

Zhao Weihua waved his hand: "Hey, Mr. Fang, it's not easy to attract investment, and the competition between us and our brother cities is also very fierce."

This month, I heard that the richest man is rich, and Changzhou also sent an invitation to Yike to inspect, but was declined on the legitimate reason of waiting for the impact of the ruling.

After saying this, he looked at the foreigner who had noticed long ago, and asked, "This is..."

"Philip, vice president of Goldman Sachs." Fang Zhuo said in Chinese.

Zhao Weihua was immediately surprised, and subconsciously asked in a low voice: "Isn't there something between Goldman Sachs and Yike?"

"Goldman Sachs, but Philip is okay and professional." Fang Zhuo said.

Zhao Weihua immediately shared his hatred with the enemy: "Yes, Sabi Goldman Sachs, I heard that Yike was originally its client. Is it really short again this time? There is no professional ethics at all!"

Yi Ke attracted global attention last month, he naturally knew, and Yi Ke was suspected of being attacked again this week, which also attracted a lot of attention.

"Well, these institutions are very bad." Fang Zhuo nodded slightly, personally confirming the news being passed on.

Zhao Weihua scolded Goldman Sachs a few words along with him, without trying to understand Philip.

Philip kept a calm expression. Mr. Fang knew that he knew Chinese...so scolding in person...just scold him, anyway, he thinks well of himself.

The convoy ran unhurriedly through the rain.

This time Zhao Weihua came up on the spur of the moment, but he didn't expect to meet Mr. Fang himself, and he was extremely pleasantly surprised.

He seized the time to introduce the city's investment promotion policies and geographical advantages to the richest man in the mainland.

Not to mention winning any super big orders, Mr. Fang's share in some small and medium-sized projects is also excellent.

Fang Zhuo couldn't bear to refuse the leader's invitation to invest in such a way, but it's not appropriate to make a decision after such contact in the car, so he made an appointment to return to Changzhou after returning from Luzhou, and then we can have a good chat about whether there is any suitable investment. .

Zhao Weihua is very satisfied with the attitude of being the richest man in the Mainland.

When the convoy drove out of the Changzhou section, he said goodbye to the other party and left after repeatedly expressing his general welcome, and returned to his car.

Philip, who didn't say a word during the process, expressed emotion after Zhao Weihua got off the car: "This kind of investment promotion on the highway reminds me of an aerial refueling plane. After close combat, I make up for it and leave."

"It's not easy, just like that, you Goldman Sachs are here to make trouble." Fang Zhuo complained.

Philip thought about his own situation and the scolding he heard in person just now, and sighed: "It's not easy."

There was not much communication in the final trip.

When the convoy arrived at No. 1 Yuhu Road, the rain here had stopped.

Fang Zhuo was not polite, and took Philip to the cafeteria for lunch, then put on dustproof clothing, and accompanied by Liang Mengsong, inspected the operation of the production line.

Qiu Ciyun is still in Germany, and it is planned to come back early next month.

Liang Mengsong also noticed foreigners, but after knowing that he was the vice president of Goldman Sachs, he didn't care, and calmly explained the current process research progress to Mr. Fang.

Simply put, the 45nm research and development situation is gratifying, and preparations for risky trial production will be carried out in June.

This is not only because of Liang Mengsong's experience in Taiji, but also because of the continuous budget allocation since the beginning of this year.

As Icecore formed a virtuous circle with Qualcomm and Yike, the capacity utilization rate of 65nm continued to rise in the second quarter.

The global market is gradually recovering, and the demand for smartphones is huge. Driven by the Yike Mars series, Qualcomm's MS chips have won the favor of many manufacturers.

Not only Fang Zhuo, but even Philip next to him nodded.

"However, there is also a problem now." Liang Mengsong did not forget to mention the difficulties after introducing the good news, "We have disagreements on the technical direction of the follow-up process."

The smile on Fang Zhuo's face disappeared.

Ice Core's research on advanced manufacturing processes is not done step by step, but more or less simultaneous research and demonstration.

The word divergence is not a good word, especially if it comes out of Liang Mengsong's mouth, it is not good.

Who can disagree with Liang Mengsong?

Fang Zhuo thought about it: "Our 45nm has not been completed yet, isn't there a lot of follow-up time?"

"From 32nm to 28nm, I have some disagreements with Professor Hu and Mr. Qiu." Liang Mengsong said lightly, "In other words, the opinions are quite sharp. The transistor has almost come to an end in the planar structure, and the follow-up cost will be different. Rapid improvement, well, after 32nm, the investment cost will become higher and higher.”

Fang Zhuo's heart sank slightly, and he still said: "Then let's argue more, the more the truth is clarified."

Liang Mengsong glanced at Mr. Fang, nodded, and stopped talking about differences.

Follow-up is indeed important, but the current 45nm is also critical.

Fang Zhuo and his party continued to stroll, listening to Dr. Liang's dry introduction.

Philip held his breath and listened carefully to the key explanations, but he found that he really didn't understand.

He turned his head to look at Boss Fang again, and found that Boss Fang was actually enjoying it.

Does this guy really understand?What kind of metal gate or polysilicon gate, can you understand?
"At the latest in the third quarter, we can complete this round of risk trial production. Qualcomm has already done the demonstration design." Liang Mengsong talked about the customer again, and hesitantly said, "And..."

He wanted to talk about Yike's hummingbird chip design.

Fang Zhuo said promptly: "Well, let's talk tomorrow."

Liang Mengsong nodded silently.

Philip felt itchy, what happened? ?
A group of people finished their simple inspection.

Liang Mengsong had nothing to say, and hurried back to work.

Philip stood in the factory area, looked at the back of the technical person in charge, looked at such a huge white building lying on the ground, and sighed: "The ice core surpassed the central core. This is what Goldman Sachs did not expect." of."

He said sincerely: "This investment may be one of Goldman Sachs' best investments."

Fang Zhuo smiled and said, "Really? That's an honor."

Looking at the smile on Mr. Fang's face, Philip thought about the rising numbers in the stock market, and looked at the appearance of the semiconductor company in front of him. There was a love-hate feeling in his heart.

He was silent for a few seconds: "Boss Fang, one size fits one size."

Fang Zhuo agreed: "Very good, I like one size fits all."
