Reinventing the Millennium.

Chapter 256 It's Fun (Two in One)

At eight o'clock in the evening of the New Year's Eve, the Spring Festival Gala is being played in thousands of households in the land of China.

"Hey, Qiqi, you call your brother again, why haven't you come back?"

Zhao Shumei urged her niece while making dumplings.

"Gu, my brother must be driving, don't rush me." Zhao Suqi said seriously.

"Did he not be in the car during the last call?" Zhao Shumei heard it.

Zhao Suqi let out an "uh".

"Sister, what are you urging him to do? Xiao Zhuo is working hard for his career." Xu Ru lowered the volume of the TV, and said with a smile, "I can't even envy others."

"No matter how hard you work, why don't you go home this New Year's Eve?" Zhao Shumei shook her head.

At this moment, a key turned the door, and Fang Zhuo's cheerful voice came in: "Let me see, let me see, whose son doesn't come home to eat dumplings made by his mother on New Year's Eve?" !"

"Brother, you're back!"

"Xiao Zhuo is back."

Zhao Shumei didn't stop making dumplings, she smiled unconsciously, and said "hmm" before saying, "It's the busy son of my family who is back."

"Dad, uncle, aunt." Fang Zhuo greeted in a circle, took off his coat, "Qiqi, you see that the corners of your mouth are full of oil."

He changed into his nightgown, walked to his mother, giggled, squeezed a dumpling from the bowl next to her, and said seriously, "Oh, my mother can make such delicious dumplings!"

Zhao Shumei scolded with a smile: "You are poor, I will make you a freshly wrapped bowl."

Fang Zhuo nodded again and again, took two steps, and saw his father and uncle playing chess with serious faces.

"Hey, dad, uncle, are you two playing backgammon here?"

Both big men nodded.

Fang Zhuo took a few glances, pointed out the battle situation casually, and was quickly driven away.

He chatted with his aunt about the situation in his hometown, and then greeted his mother with steaming dumplings.

"Well, it's delicious!"

"Mom, don't go back after the Chinese New Year. I can eat these dumplings every day."

Fang Zhuo gobbled it up, he was really hungry.

"What is there to do here? If you don't know anyone, you will be suffocated in a few days." Zhao Shumei shook her head.

Fang Zhuo smiled twice: "It's fine if you don't come to my place. If you have time, take my dad to Sanya for a trip and enjoy life."

Zhao Shumei didn't accept this, and suddenly said slowly: "You can come here, I have thought about it."

Fang Zhuo said happily: "That's good, let my dad sell his car, and I will pay for whatever I want to do here."

Zhao Shumei continued: "I thought about when I would take care of my grandson, so I retired early."

"Qiqi, how is your hospital reexamination going?" Fang Zhuo turned his face to ask the sister next to him, and winked at her.

"The doctor said that the situation is very good. Hey, aunt, if you have a grandson, wouldn't I be a aunt?" Zhao Suqi gave her brother a narrow look.

Zhao Shumei nodded: "Yes, I have to call you aunt."

After Fang Zhuo finished eating the dumplings, he leaned on the edge of the sofa and crossed his legs, writing down what happened to his sister.

I don't usually listen to the chatter from my mother, but it's okay to listen to it on the occasion of the New Year, because I just listen to it anyway.

After finally diverting his mother's attention away from the wonderful program in the Spring Festival Gala, Fang Zhuo quietly told his sister a few words, intending to take the opportunity to have all of them go to the hospital for a comprehensive physical examination.

This kind of matter may be rejected by oneself, but it is different for Zhao Suqi.

Zhao Suqi agreed, and curiously asked about the foreigners that my brother picked up at the airport today.

Fang Zhuo felt a little headache when he mentioned this. Who wants to work overtime during the Chinese New Year, but this law firm, which is well-known in the industry and has done many acquisitions, picks this time.

"I set up a private equity fund in New York before, and the lawyers came to help with the compliance plan, so as to prevent the fund's investment from going out of line."

Zhao Suqi seems to understand, she has recently read financial introductory books in addition to making up lessons, but she doesn't understand when it comes to law firm compliance.

"The name of private equity is MIGA, Make Investment Great Again, and it involves the secondary trading market in the United States. Many regulations are different from ours." Fang Zhuo gave an example casually, "For example, if you want to acquire our IPO After the company holds more than 30% of its shares, it must make a mandatory offer for other shares, which is not the case for US stocks, and they emphasize transparency in the process.”

"This transparency can also be applied for confidentiality due to certain circumstances, so some operations are questionable."

Fang Zhuo said so.

Zhao Suqi understood: "Go into the village quietly, don't you want to shoot?"

Fang Zhuo was dumbfounded, almost the same.

"Then does MIGA have any clients?" Zhao Suqi asked with interest.

"There is only one company for the time being, and I invested some money myself to buy Chinese concept stocks." Fang Zhuo said, "Like the NetEase I told you last time, its price has been raised by 50% compared to the price I bought."

Zhao Suqi's eyes widened a little: "Brother, you mentioned NetEase last time, but I went to check and it's suspended!"

"Uh, yes, trading was only resumed in January this year." Fang Zhuo knew this all too well now.

"Brother, do you have inside information!" Zhao Suqi thought of this.

Fang Zhuo was very pleased, not only pleased with his sister's reaction, but even more pleased that even his sister thought so, and the client must also think so...

He said seriously: "No, NetEase and I are clean and innocent. It's just that the three Chinese concept stocks were all undervalued because of the Internet bubble. MIGA Fund bought 1000 million. This is an investment that will definitely pay off."

Zhao Suqi was a little confused: "Are you buying just because of this judgment? Are you not in a hurry?"

Of course, Fang Zhuo had other reasons, but he used this to make a point: "Qiqi, there is another logic here. The loss line of the MIGA fund is 300 million US dollars. I dare to buy it because I can afford to lose."

"If you see the profit and take risks that you can't bear, even if you succeed once or twice, there will be problems in the follow-up."

"Your opponent is often not someone else, but the very concept of 'risk' itself."

Zhao Suqi nodded slowly.

Fang Zhuo said with a smile: "It's hard to understand these things just by talking about them. You need to operate a few more times to experience the ups and downs in the changing numbers."

"Why should I go down, bro, can't I follow you to buy?" Zhao Suqi thought, "You have bought so much with this MIGA fund, and Netease's stock price is so low, aren't you the banker?"

"You're pretty smart..." Fang Zhuo shook his head, "But that would lose the meaning of letting you practice your hands. You can try not only US stocks, but also domestic stocks. Anyway, there are not many. Occasionally look at the trend to verify the judgment of the information. When you have more time to go to school, you can take a closer look at which direction you are interested in."

"Sister Yu said that I can try to take the college entrance examination this year, and let me follow the next semester of the third year of high school." Zhao Suqi mentioned one thing.

"She told me that the test scores for your make-up lessons are fine, so go ahead. Xiao Yu has already found a good school, right?" Fang Zhuo asked.

Zhao Suqi nodded, it was the school where Sister Yu and her younger brother attended.

"Don't put too much pressure on it. You can go to any school. Last time Xiaoyu discussed with me. Shanghai is indeed the domestic financial center. You can just go to the school here." Fang Zhuo said this, turning his head and seeing My aunt listened intently.

He smiled and said, "Auntie, don't you blame me for not letting Qiqi take the exam at Peking University and Tsinghua University?"

"Listen to you, you are more knowledgeable than me." Xu Ru said without hesitation, "I have nothing to worry about."

Fang Zhuo smiled slightly, grabbed a handful of melon seeds and chatted with his aunt for a while.

After a while, he asked his mother: "Oh, yes, Mom, I'm busy with too many things, and I haven't heard you talk about what's going on at home. When I'm done with my work, I'll go back and pay my respects."

"Sometimes there is something wrong, but the newspaper has been writing for a while that you are going to jump off the building, so the newspaper is at home." Zhao Shumei said solemnly, "If anyone has something to do, I will take out the newspaper."

Fang Zhuo: "...Not really."

"I'll come to you again if there is a big event, can you find someone for the big event?" Zhao Shumei asked.

Fang Zhuo was a little uncertain about the standard of "big things" for a while, and replied vaguely: "I should be able to try."

Zhao Shumei gave an example of her own: "Our construction company has not been profitable in the past two years. Does your company have such a business?"

Fang Zhuo pondered, several names came to mind.

"Don't think about it, I'm just giving an example." Zhao Shumei's work unit is a state-owned enterprise, although the place is small, it's full of twists and turns, and she doesn't want her son to get involved in such things.

Fang Zhuo said helplessly: "As far as our relatives are concerned, for emergencies, sometimes when I go abroad, you can directly contact my administrative assistant. Tube."

Zhao Suqi shook the phone, indicating that he could.

When Fang Zhuo saw the phone, he remembered something closely related to the Chinese New Year. He pointed to the jacket hanging on and said, "Qiqi, bring me my phone, and you send me the New Year's greetings and send them back."

Zhao Suqi did this last year, and fumbled for the phone from his pocket.

She sat cross-legged on the carpet, and sure enough, she saw a lot of unread text messages. At a glance, there were companies, venture capital, hospitals, and some notes were at the administrative level.

"Brother, I won't reply to those bureaus and bureaus, so as not to say something wrong." Zhao Suqi said.

Fang Zhuo said with a smile: "Okay, let me choose the words myself. Many of them are contact information left when I went to the registration website. In fact, as long as there is a meaning of blessing for the New Year, it is enough."

Zhao Suqi let out an "oh" and began to help her brother carry the blessings in different text messages.

After a while, my father and uncle played enough backgammon, and the family gathered on the sofa and chatted while watching the Spring Festival Gala. Fang Zhuo gave full play to his advantage of speaking, eating melon seeds did not delay his speech at all.

When it was almost eleven o'clock, Zhao Benshan, Fan Wei and Gao Xiumin's "Selling a Car" was playing on the Spring Festival Evening, when Zhao Suqi's cell phone rang.

"Brother, Lao Qiu's phone number, who is Lao Qiu?"

Fang Zhuo spat out a melon seed peel, indicating that the call should not be hung up, took the phone, and pressed to answer: "Old leader, happy new year, happy new year."

"I thought I wouldn't bother you today, hey, yes, the development is very stable."

"Thank you for your concern, a little thought, I just came back from New York these two days, thinking about going to Lin'an to pay New Year's greetings to the leader next year."

"Yes, I am quite confident in our products."

This call was made by Judi, the former deputy leader of Lin'an. Thinking about not being able to address him in his current position, Fang Zhuo called out "Old Leader". Both the hospital and the leaders with whom he had dealt with in Lin'an were all prepared. It is now a well-known Yike player.

As for Judy, Fang Zhuo specially asked people to give some small gifts with more cultural added value, which were not very expensive, but they were thoughtful.

Fang Zhuo thanked Judy from the bottom of his heart, regardless of whether the other party was out of consideration for political achievements, Guahao.com was invited by Lin'an to do informatization construction, and then it was built step by step with venture capital.

The other party's position has been adjusted, but no one went in, and there is Zheng Danrui, the team leader, no matter from what angle, it's okay to maintain respect.

They chatted on the phone for a long time, not only about greeting each other during the New Year, Judy also asked about the development of information technology construction, and even cared about Fang Zhuo's private life, not like an old leader, but like an elder.

Fang Zhuo adjusted his mood, without any impatience, nor did he really treat him as a senior just because of the other party's tone, and answered the questions in an orderly manner.

At ten past eleven, the call ended.

Fang Zhuo was sitting in the study, thinking that Lao Qiu would take the initiative to call, so he found Zheng Danrui's number and dialed it.

"Brother Zheng, happy new year, I wish you a happy new year."

"Well, happy Chinese New Year." The background sound on Zheng Danrui's phone was very quiet.

Fang Zhuo said auspicious words, guessing that the other party might also be in the study.

This phone call is more normal. You wish me a happy new year, I wish you all the best, you wish me a good career, and I wish you a high career.

With such a peaceful ending, Fang Zhuo felt that the words were smooth at the moment, so he simply found the numbers that should be dialed in the address book and called them one by one.

These people who were called also wished each other highly proficient, and they have been tested for a long time.

Everyone is willing to connect with each other at this logical node.

……

On the first day of the new year, many people get busy before they can enjoy the Chinese New Year holiday.

IDG's Xiong Xiaoge is like this.

He believes that colleagues should work harder to live up to the generous treatment.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Xiong Xiaoge met Pan Ben, who was in charge of connecting with Shencheng Yike from IDG Huaxia, in the office. He was going to listen to another detailed report, and had to fly to Shanghai to meet Fang Zhuo after the year.

"Yike hasn't negotiated with IDG America for a long time, and Fang Zhuo has a lot of fear in his heart."

"Eco's M1 and P1 strategies are fine. The procurement of music copyrights is a key point. A few big companies may not be easy to talk about."

"What do you think of Fang Zhuo's emphasis on the software iMusic?"

After listening to Pan Ben's report, Xiong Xiaoge thought about several issues.

Pan Ben answered one by one without reservation.

When the report was coming to an end, he said with some difficulty: "Mr. Xiong, I, I may have to leave IDG."

Unprepared, Xiong Xiaoge asked in surprise: "What? Xiao Pan, did someone poach you? Do you have any objections to IDG's work arrangement?"

They were just talking about the Yike project, why did they suddenly resign?
He was very puzzled.

"That, uh, yes, yes..." Pan Ben hesitated for several days, but it was still a bit difficult to really speak.

Xiong Xiaoge calmed down quickly, and at the same time he was a little puzzled by this subordinate's performance, and had something to say, what's wrong with that?
"It's Fang always wanting me to go there." Pan Ben summoned up his courage.

Xiong Xiaoge's mood became subtle in an instant, and then asked blankly: "Mr. Fang? Which Mr. Fang?"

"Just, just that Mr. Fang we just talked about." Pan Ben replied along the words.

"Is it the Boss Fang who I said a long time ago that he has no business ethics?" Xiong Xiaoge asked.

Pan Ben: "..."

Seeing that the subordinate did not answer, Xiong Xiaoge nodded to himself and said, "He once again refreshed my judgment on him, yes, you are all fine."

Pan Ben: "..."
