Reinventing the Millennium.

Chapter 375 Unique Experience

Regarding the landing options of the fab project, both Yangcheng and Lin'an are very good.

These two cities are also places where Fang Zhuo can operate a little bit.

Needless to say, Lin'an is my second hometown, the blessed place of Guahao.com, and has won many honors from the government, and I have a good relationship with many of them.

In Yangcheng, because of the special circumstances from the end of last year to the first half of the year, it was a little unfamiliar. Even if there was no straightforward administrative reward, the medical group’s operations suddenly became much more convenient, and even Sina’s various news reports were quite common unimpeded.

Of course, because of the large scale of investment in the project, it is reasonable to say that they can be welcomed and given preferential treatment everywhere, but the familiar relationship between government and business is more reassuring, and it will avoid some unnecessary moths.

In early July, Fang Zhuo decided to lead the project team to visit Lin'an first and then go to Yangcheng.

There are not many people in the team, not counting him as ten people, people in the semiconductor industry, consultants invited by universities, company legal affairs, company finance and so on.

Before leaving, Fang Zhuo thought about it, and temporarily brought Liu Yangyang along, because she was always more reliable in dealing with the public.

"Mr. Fang, with such a large investment budget, why didn't you give the project a name?"

As soon as the business car left, Liu Yangyang asked a question.

Fang Zhuo has been thinking about money and people recently, but he really didn't pay attention. He thought for a while and said, "The project of the fab is called the 'Ice Drink Project'."

Liu Yangyang couldn't help but laugh: "Is this the mention of 'drinking with ice' when seeing the leader in the conference room? Mr. Fang, be more serious."

"Why is it unserious?" Fang Zhuo said to Secretary Liu, "Drinking ice for ten years is difficult to cool the blood. The project of the fab is destined to be long-term and difficult. We must make a plan and be mentally prepared."

Not only Liu Yangyang, but also the two associate professor Yu Jun and lecturer Zeng Xiaoyang from Fudan in the business car were also startled and pondered the words.

Drinking ice for ten years is hard to cool the blood.

Fang Zhuo's eloquent explanation: "Liang Qichao called himself 'Master of the Ice Drinking Room' back then, and wrote this eight-character motto himself, which also has an allusion."

"Zhuangzi said, 'I am ordered to drink ice in the evening, and I am hot inside', which means that I have a mission in the morning, and I have to drink ice water in the evening. This is probably the reason why my heart is too hot."

"I think this is very appropriate for our semiconductor industry and the projects we are going to do, so is it wrong to call it the 'Ice Drink Project'?"

The three of them couldn't help but nodded, feeling that there was nothing wrong.

A few seconds later, the lecturer Zeng Xiaoyang asked: "Why not just call it 'Ice Drinking Project', but 'Ice Drinking Project'?"

That's right, why, it's not from Shandong.

Fang Zhuo thought for a while, but couldn't find a reason, and said, "It might be because I'm a little unscrupulous."

He smiled and said, "Let's just do it. If I succeed in the future, someone will help me think of a reason."

Liu Yangyang looked at Zeng Xiaoyang's stunned expression, and showed a small smile, Mr. Fang's style is fine.

She immediately put away her expression, and she was still looking forward to this trip to Lin'an. Apart from business, as a former secretary of the Second Department, it was a delicate feeling to see her old colleague again this time.

From Shencheng to Lin'an, it is less than [-] kilometers.

The geographical distance between these two cities is also an advantage. After all, Yike and Yike have already taken root in Shanghai, and Fang Zhuo especially has to take into account Yike's listing plan launched this year.

If you choose Yangcheng, either Fang Zhuo or colleagues fly back and forth, which is always inconvenient.

However, the impact of this factor is not critical and needs to be considered comprehensively.

Fang Zhuo actually leaned towards Yangcheng from the bottom of his heart, because... the other party was rich.

Lin'an is of course very good, he is tall, rich and handsome, but Yangcheng is taller, richer and more handsome. However, being taller, richer and more handsome does not mean that people are willing to spend money on themselves.

Fang Zhuo has a relatively intuitive understanding of this point, and the money that can be obtained is money.

At nine o'clock in the morning, two commercial vehicles drove into the urban area of ​​Lin'an.

At this time, Fang Zhuo received a call from Vice President Qiu of SMIC.

The call was short, and when he put away his phone, he was obviously in a much happier mood.

Liu Yangyang asked, "Boss Fang, what good news is there?"

Fang Zhuo waved his hand, unable to answer.

In fact, Qiu Ciyun’s phone call briefly stated the goal of SMIC’s fundraising this time. The number is almost seven, including Handing Asia Pacific, DCM Huaxia, Vertex Investment, Walden International, Yongwei Investment, Entrepreneur Yi Investment, Shanghai Industrial Investment.

Among them, five are original shareholder institutions, and SIIC Investment is supported by Shanghai Shencheng.

Two new institutions are DCM Huaxia and Enyi Investment, both of which are well-known internationally, especially the former, while the latter just entered Huaxia this year.

Judging from Fang Zhuo's experience in dealing with venture capital, DCM Huaxia and Enyi Investment want to take advantage of a wave of SMIC's listing.

He thought for a moment, then sent a text message to Shencheng's assistant, asking him to inquire about the person in charge of DCM in Shencheng, and planned to make an appointment to meet and chat.

For example, when overseas investment institutions enter China, the establishment of domestic institutions like Lao Xiong's IDG is a bit like a brotherly relationship with the US company in the business decision-making process, and the DCM is the same entity to make decisions.

In other words, DCM may decide to invest more funds in the project.

But now, taking advantage of SMIC's success, a new semiconductor project can more easily convince investment institutions.

If you wait until SMIC encounters difficulties, investment institutions will be discouraged, and the difficulty of decision-making will not only increase by one level.

Well, this trip to Lin'an, if we can talk about something, it would be even better to go back and see DCM.

Fang Zhuo has relatively unique experience in grasping this kind of timing and practical operation of the project.

If you broaden your horizons slightly, you are not limited to the investment institutions that SMIC contacted in the second round. In addition to DCM, there are actually more wealthy targets-Goldman Sachs and Deutsche Bank, both of which participated in SMIC’s first round of financing.

Fang Zhuo intends to contact these two institutions after the outline of the project is clearer. Regardless of the result or not, he plans to fly to the United States for a visit to see if there are any long-term investment institutions willing to catch up with this train. .

Advance layer by layer, a package plan, there is still a lot to do.

At 09:30 in the morning, the team of the "Ice Drink Project" arrived at the administrative building in Lin'an, and the city leaders who had received the news in advance showed up to welcome them.

The leaders were very enthusiastic, Fang Zhuo shook hands and greeted.

As the president's secretary to the board, Liu Yangyang also followed behind to shake hands. When she shook hands with the former leader who had a small conflict in public, she felt extraordinarily calm. When she really saw the local leader, she suddenly realized that things had faded away a lot.

"Boss Fang, let's take a photo together first."

The director of the city office suggested with a smile, while beckoning to the camera with his hands.

Fang Zhuo glanced at the director, then asked the leaders around him with his eyes, and said with a smile: "Why don't we talk about the project first, I am full of enthusiasm and want to report to the leaders."

"Okay, our city can't wait." The leader nodded.

The director's expression was a little suffocated, and then he still smiled, waving his hand and directing the camera to back off, and he followed the leader and the Shencheng team into the building.
