Reinventing the Millennium.

Chapter 350 Don't Mistake Yourself (Two in One)

Fang Zhuo never thought that he would need to compete with others for giving money to Professor Chen.

When he used to send money...

Oh, he hadn't sent much money before, and he lacked some experience, so it was hard to avoid being surprised to meet another competitor with rich experience in sending money.

Also a little angry.

Play for fun, make trouble for trouble, Old Eleven, don't make fun of such a serious matter.

Fang Zhuo searched for Xu Mingchang's location a little bit, and got a satisfied look from him.

He suppressed his emotions and said to Chen Jin: "Professor Chen, my support for semiconductors can be seen from our school's scholarship. Xu Mingchang, his main business and interests..."

Fang Zhuo stopped suddenly in the middle of speaking.

Hey, I'm confused, what are you talking about with this guy?

He shook his head slightly in his heart, and said sincerely, "Add more money."

Fang Zhuo met Chen Jinping's peaceful gaze, and said with a respectful expression: "Professor Chen, I can try my best to satisfy Xu Mingchang's contribution. I'm not angry with him, but I just believe in what Professor Chen did. It can be done."

This is gas!There has been a lot of news about the discord between you two rich men recently!

Chen Jin thought so, and explained: "Mr. Fang, it's not all because of Mr. Xu's wishes. Semiconductor research and the commercialization of our chips require a lot of investment. Only investment can produce output."

"I understand." Fang Zhuo pondered, "I understand the dedication of scientific research work, and Professor Chen also has to understand our expectations and progress of commercial projects."

"First allocate 200 million to set up a scientific research team, and let's push the work forward, how about it?" Chen Jin said the specific number, which is double the number from the previous communication, and slightly higher than the number communicated with Xu Mingchang just now. More.

After all, the rich man in front of him is ranked ninth, so he should pay more than No.11.

Moreover, I am not Hu Yao, referring to the 1 million yuan I applied for the "Hanxin PDA-SOC" project with the Shencheng Information Committee in January, it is almost the same.

"Yes." Fang Zhuo agreed directly.

Chen Jin praised his refreshment in his heart, and then felt that the money he said was a bit short.

"With Professor Chen in charge, our business has become more and more successful." Fang Zhuo stretched out his right hand and said with a smile.

Chen Jin shook hands with this rich man, and felt that he was more pleasing to the eye than Xu Mingchang whom he met just now, because this man respected himself and knowledge more.

He nodded slightly and expressed his attitude: "Mr. Fang, don't worry, I still value your side more."

Fang Zhuo smiled and heard the meaning of the two families taking all, but he didn't say anything. He had no choice but to increase the amount of illegal income, so what can he do?

The dinner officially started without much disturbance.

The leaders are very happy. Whether it is part of the political performance or not, it has actually promoted the development of the semiconductor industry. Even the expert group said so, and there are orders from abroad. This is simply too exciting.

Fang Zhuo was also very happy, talking and laughing, waiting to go home after eating.

However, as the dinner was coming to an end, Xu Mingchang came over with a wine glass to toast Fang Zhuo.

As soon as he moved, many people looked at him.

Xu Mingchang has been very powerful in the past two years, and he has made great moves, especially the fact that he won the Jing'an District project without bloodshed is even more surprising.

As for Fang Zhuo, an upstart on the rich list, the battle over the control of Sina once aroused the attention of many industry leaders. He is especially good at capital operations, and he seems to be showing his ambitions in Shanghai recently.

The news of the discord between these two people has been reported by the media recently, and it has been spread in the ears of many people present.

"President Fang, I would like to toast you." Xu Mingchang didn't say much under the gaze of the leader, but said with a smile, "There are still many opportunities for us to deal with each other in the future."

Fang Zhuo sighed quietly, and said softly, "Mr. Xu, don't make mistakes."

Xu Mingchang just wanted to laugh out loud, but he didn't want to be so rampant in front of everyone. Holding his wine glass, he deliberately raised his voice, pretending to be shocked: "What? Mr. Fang told me not to mistake myself? Did I offend you? ?”

The dinner was coming to an end, and basically everyone was chatting and drinking with each other, but people couldn't help but look at these words.

Fang Zhuo pursed his lips, not wanting to show a smile, raised his hand to drink the wine in the glass, and nodded at Xu Mingchang.

Xu Mingchang was a little confused by this nod, but felt that he had already gained the upper hand, he also drank a glass of wine with a smile, and returned to his position.

Young and young, he wants to fight against himself. Today, he will lose points in front of the leader, and he will grow up in the future.

Fang Zhuo poured himself another glass of wine, smiled at the eyes that were still looking at him, and said nothing else.

He wasn't all trying to scare Xu Shishi, and the other party obviously didn't want to scare him too much, but it was still annoying to interfere with the business this time, and he was indeed making a mistake.

Fang Zhuo couldn't help Xu Mingchang, he didn't have the power in his hands, and even if he knew a few leaders, he couldn't do anything illegal, so he couldn't send him in first.

But once Xu Mingchang went in?

That would be more fun to watch.

Therefore, Fang Zhuo was sincerely persuading Xu Shishi not to mess with him. As the other party said, if he wanted to, there would indeed be more opportunities to deal with him in the future.

……

The press conference ended and the media reported enthusiastically.

The major breakthroughs in chips quickly aroused heated discussions. Even in 2003, even if many people had no idea what semiconductors were for, the assertion of "international advanced level" was enough to be proud of.

A few people knew that the project of Jiaotong University was not too long, but they didn’t suspect anything because of it. They just felt the excellence of the project team and admired it from the bottom of their hearts.

After all, this is the result endorsed by experts, who can doubt its authenticity?

When Fang Zhuo went back that night, he didn't want to wait for a moment, so he asked the company's legal affairs to make a contract, and then sent a text message to Professor Chen asking him to submit a project proposal.

To show his sincerity, he also said that he would transfer part of the money to the professor's account first.

This text message was not answered until the next day, which once made Fang Zhuo wonder if there would be any changes, but Chen Jin's affirmative answer made him heave a sigh of relief.

Transfer from public to private, indicating the purpose of funds.

Subsequent funds will flow into the company account controlled by Chen Jinshi.

Fang Zhuo also urged Professor Chen's project proposal once, showing full enthusiasm for work.

The latter didn't reply this time, but it shouldn't be a big problem.

Fang Zhuo witnessed the praise and heated discussions from the media, and also saw his own Sina.com report on this, reviewed the hardships of the Hanxin project, and praised Professor Chen's feelings of returning to China to serve him.

He was a little worried, and just wanted to wait for a suitable opportunity to discuss with Professor Chen.

However, these two days were not all worrying.

When Fang Zhuo participated in the Hanxin press conference, two company conferences were held in New York. The two competitors, Yike and Apple, announced at the same time that they would support the purchase and download of music on iMusic and iTunes.

The products of the two companies occupy almost 3% of the market in the emerging track of mp90 music players. Therefore, their simultaneous actions are considered to have a potential tacit understanding, aiming to squeeze a larger track.

--music player.

Compared with mp3 music players, music players are a mature market and a market full of imagination.

After the two tacit product press conferences, the secondary trading market immediately responded to Apple's stock price, which rose sharply for several days in a row.

Although the real performance of digital music purchases has not yet been seen, institutions and stockholders have already given a judgment for a certain possibility in the future.

Benefit!

Great deal!
Moreover, this judgment was quickly confirmed.

An executive from Apple told the media that nearly one million pieces of music have been purchased in the three days since iTunes opened up the music purchase function.

Apple and Yike both price digital music at 99 cents a song, and nearly one million pieces of music equals nearly one million in revenue.

In three days, nearly a million dollars.

This is much higher than the imagination brought by hardware products to shareholders!
Apple's stock price has benefited from this and is rising again!

As another hardware + software + genuine music company on the market, Yike finally received the interest of investment institutions for the first time. Not only did New York receive investment intentions, but Fang Zhuo from Shencheng was also contacted by famous institutions.

It can be said that the digital music model jointly established by Yike and Apple has excited many people with a keen sense of smell.

As for Sony...

Fang Zhuo did not observe the reaction of this global giant, but he received a congratulatory letter from Sony Music in his e-mail, thinking that this initially confirmed model still has great potential.

Sony Music is Sony's, Sony's Walkman is being killed, and Sony's future is crumbling!
It's not that no one at Sony Music can't see this, but it still cooperates with outsiders.

It can only be said that there are bad people in the parent company.

Fang Zhuo lamented the predictable desolation of the giant, and stepped up his company's promotion of digital music.

In the past, music copyright agencies and record companies sued Yike for infringement, but now with the iMusic channel, Yike turned around and joined the party fighting against infringement, intending to have a better performance in digital music.

At the same time, Yike should consider introducing more funds to provide more assistance for developing the European market and competing for the US market.

On March 3, Fang Zhuo held a conference call with Yike's top management. People from New York, Paris, and Beijing were connected by phone, and they were excited about the current situation.

It was also at this meeting that Fang Zhuo finally officially stated the company's goal for this year - NASDAQ after Yike completed the closed-loop outline of hardware + software + digital music.

This goal became a newsletter within Yike, and soon let everyone know that the company may launch a listing plan by the end of the year.

This afternoon, Fang Zhuo held another Sina conference call non-stop.

Because of the current situation in Yangcheng and Beijing, Sina's signing of the acquisition of Yangcheng Xunlong will be completed in Shanghai at the end of the month.

Yangcheng Xunlong is a leading independent mobile value-added service provider with 200 million monthly paying users. The company has 160 employees and its business covers more than 20 provinces across the country.

After contact and negotiation with Sina CEO Wang Yan, Yangcheng Xunlong is willing to sell at a price of 2000 million US dollars.

Of this, one-third is cash.

Just when Sina executives and the chairman of Yangcheng Xunlong flew to Shanghai together, Sina Corporation announced the news of the merger and acquisition of Yangcheng Xunlong Technology Co., Ltd., a leading independent wireless value-added service provider in China.

Moreover, Sina announced the progress, and will complete the merger in April at the latest, aiming at the largest wireless value-added service provider in China.

Of course, this is official talk.

Fang Zhuo has already agreed with Sina's board of directors. The main goal of this merger is the stock price, and he wants everyone to have a satisfactory choice.

On March 3, Sina's stock price soared, and the closing price hit a new high, with $29 already approaching the 19.15 mark.

Many people in Sina knew the news and were waiting for the president to issue an open letter. However, the young president didn't seem to have this intention.

On March 3, Wang Yan, the CEO of Sina who first arrived in Shanghai, brought the expectations and greetings of the employees.

Fang Zhuo was a little puzzled: "The stock price has been rising recently, why do you want me to send an open letter this time?"

Sitting in the car receiving the airport, Wang Yan couldn't hide his excitement, and said half-seriously and half-sighed: "Because Sina's stock price has exceeded the issue price!"

The listing price of Sina that year was its highest price from 2000 to the present.

17 dollars.

Yesterday's share price was $19.15.

2000年4月13日，2003年3月29日，历经差不多3年时间，新浪在总裁方卓和CEO汪延的带领下把新浪股价带到了一个新的高度。

This sense of accomplishment made Wang Yan extremely satisfied.

Especially when he met the young CEO who changed the situation of Sina, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Mr. Fang didn't lie to himself, and what he said in Sina's Beijing headquarters office came true.

——"Mr. Wang, how will future generations evaluate you?"

——"An ordinary Sina CEO with no ambitions?"

——"Or a business strongman who solves Sina's profit dilemma and leads Sina to create brilliance?"

Wang Yan clearly remembered that questioning. He chose the latter and created the current situation with his own hands.

"Oh, yes." Fang Zhuo flipped through the documents in his hand, and gave the CEO an answer without raising his head.

Wang Yan didn't hear clearly, or he felt a little bit wrong: "What? Mr. Fang?"

"I said yes, Sina's stock price is fine now." Fang Zhuo was a little distracted, "However, it seems that it hasn't been long since the last open letter, isn't it too close to post it now?"

Wang Yan: "..."

He subtly adjusted the emotional gap in his heart by looking at the scenery of Shanghai outside the car, and said slowly: "Mr. Fang, it's not close."

"That's fine, you can draft an open letter, and I will also sign and second it when it is sent." Fang Zhuo arranged it like this.

Wang Yan's lips moved slightly, and he simply put down the car window, and felt the spring wind in Shencheng with his hands.

Mr. Fang's open letter last time was not only circulated within the company, but his judgment that "the spring of the Internet is here" was circulated throughout the industry.

This allows me to draw it up, how can I draw it up?

Wang Yan shook his head, and said a little firmly: "Mr. Fang, you write it yourself. Next time I can be the president, I will write it again. This time is of great significance."

Fang Zhuo raised his head in surprise when he heard this, and couldn't help laughing: "That's fine, I'll write it this time, and you can write it next time."
