Reinventing the Millennium.

Chapter 389 Deliberate Deliberation (Two in One)

Hang Lung 23, catch up with old friends.

Xiong Xiaoge came to Shanghai this time, in addition to helping with the affairs of the Huaxia Entrepreneur Industrial Investment Foundation, but also to understand the progress of Yike's listing.

As Yike hired Derek, the chief financial officer recommended by Goldman Sachs, the company's listing is not just a wish, but a substantive action.

Yike’s listing location was quickly determined. Fang Zhuo decided to list on NASDAQ without any hesitation. It is because it is convenient for Yike to benchmark the stock price of rival Apple.

When the company reaches this stage, it must describe what kind of company it is to brokers, the secondary market, and shareholders.

Obviously, it is easier for Yike to directly target Apple's business, which is a shortcut for the company's listing.

Although Apple is not just a music player business, it has received enthusiastic responses from the stock market since it announced that the Ipod is compatible with the Windows system and has created a closed-loop music system.

Compared with the $60 billion before the release of the Ipod, Apple's current market value has stabilized at 200 billion.

$ 200 billion.

1600+ billion Huaxia coins.

Such a market value gives Yike's institutional shareholders a wonderful room for imagination.

Not to mention half of the benchmark, even if it is 1/3 of the benchmark, it will be 60 billion US dollars.

No matter how bad it is, the market value of 1/5, 40 billion US dollars is also 2.5 Sina.

Go public, go public, divide the meat, divide the meat.

Xiong Xiaoge listened to Fang Zhuo's talk about the listing today, and his heart was very emotional, and finally he was finally able to see the return on investment.

However, Fang Zhuo roughly finished the listing situation, and finally said something lightly.

"The company will raise another round of financing before going public, this time with Goldman Sachs."

Xiong Xiaoge: "?"

Up to now, Yike has raised a total of four times of financing, including the initial capital of the angel round, the targeted follow-up investment of PreA's overseas development, the sharp increase in the valuation of the A round, and the introduction of Sony Music by PreB.

The first three financings were all based on capital needs, and the fourth was for the copyright of Sony Music.

Fang Zhuo made it clear in Yike’s previous conference call that he will basically not consider the fifth financing, because Yike has a good cash flow and the sales of its products overseas are also very impressive.

Now, this sudden announcement to get Goldman Sachs in...

Xiong Xiaoge looked at the young CEO in a daze, and said, "You even sell your own son for this semiconductor?"

"Mr. Xiong, please pay attention to your words. Goldman Sachs is an internationally renowned investment institution. What is selling?" Fang Zhuo was very dissatisfied.

Xiong Xiaoge was silent for a while: "Letting the Goldman Sachs in the B round will harm the interests of other shareholders."

"The benefits are huge, and you can bear it if you share it a little bit." Fang Zhuo said indifferently, "Other shareholders will understand, and it is also a matter of mutual benefit. Yike can have more funds to carry out business in the market." layout."

He continued: "If any shareholder is dissatisfied, come and tell me yourself, it's really not good, and it's okay to meet at the shareholders' meeting."

Anger was slowly building up in Xiong Xiaoge's heart.

Then, he poked himself and slowly endured it.

The reason why it endured so quickly is because Yikeben is an enterprise founded by Fang Zhuo. It cannot develop today without the founder, and will need him to continue to move forward in the future. Second, because of Yikeben's equity distribution.

The shareholding of Fang Zhuo’s party and the option pool is 44.1%+2.7%=46.8%. Coupled with Shenxin Kechuang’s concerted action agreement, he can do whatever he wants. It’s just a matter of daring to disagree at the shareholders’ meeting. Just bring shame on yourself.

Xiong Xiaoge had already experienced Fang Zhuo's ordinary toughness, and this one was notifying rather than discussing today.

He sighed, and called him by his first name: "Fang Zhuo, why don't you tell me, won't it make me feel bad for a few days?"

"Don't be so greedy, those of you who invest will die from greed." Fang Zhuo said with a smile, "Yike is not short of funds, but with cash, he can do more things. I think Yike's upside is better than Goldman Sachs thinks more, and it may not make much money."

Xiong Xiaoge frowned and said, "How did you talk with Goldman Sachs?"

He was suddenly stunned: "Wait, you have a relationship with Goldman Sachs, and Zhang Hongli from Deutsche Bank has a tacit understanding with you, so I will be here today...Did Connor from DCM also agree with you?"

Fang Zhuo said calmly: "No, Mr. Connor is a respectable investor, and he may still be hesitant about our project."

Xiong Xiaoge: "..."

Today, there are only six families in total, and five of these co-authors belong to Fang Zhuo? ? ?

Just one DCM is the target? ? ?
Don't strictly investigate who and who, just tie the DCM and press your fingerprints!

"It's not what you think. Regardless of Goldman Sachs or Deutsche Bank, they still need to evaluate, but the tendency will be greater." Fang Zhuo comforted, "How could I just play with the venture capital in such a casual way?" on top."

Xiong Xiaoge looked at Fang Zhuo intently. For the first time, really, for the first time, he felt that Fang Zhuo's perception in the industry was correct.

Only wrong names, no wrong nicknames.

What is a VC Hunter?

Xiong Xiaoge only smiled at this nickname before, but this time he witnessed Fang Zhuo's operation, and suddenly felt a sense of sadness for Connor of DCM Huaxia.

Who knows how Fang Zhuo treated him before!

I don't know the real face of Mount Lu, only because I am in this mountain!
I used to deal with Fang Zhuo head-on, but today I can see what kind of person this guy is from the side!

Xiong Xiaoge murmured, "Fang Zhuo, you... are a bit too much. How did you talk to Goldman Sachs?"

"Goldman Sachs deserves to be the investment bank of Zongheng International. They don't only see one business in their eyes. In fact, we didn't talk about it in detail. Goldman Sachs just thinks that there are uncontrollable risks in the purchase of ice core equipment." Fang Zhuo said lightly , "SMIC can buy the most advanced equipment on the market, and the Bush administration is relaxing restrictions, but who can guarantee that ice cores will be able to buy?"

"I can't beat my chest and say that ice cores are fabs that can get around US policy restrictions."

"Goldman Sachs, they are willing to help reduce the risk of this procurement and make it as controllable as possible."

"Some things are difficult for us to do, but it may be easier for them to do them."

Listening to Fang Zhuo's painstaking efforts, Xiong Xiaoge didn't know what to say and asked, "What if Goldman Sachs backs out after the B round comes in? Why don't you help buy the equipment?"

As soon as he finished asking, he knew he was stupid.

"Goldman Sachs will also be a shareholder of Bingxin. What good is it for them if Bingxin can't purchase equipment?" Fang Zhuo said, "If Goldman Sachs wants to invest, it will invest in two, or if it does not invest, it will not invest."

Xiong Xiaoge felt sullen in his heart when he heard these internal affairs.

He turned his sullen breath into sarcasm: "Boss Fang, what a venture capitalist hunter! Connor doesn't know your reputation!"

Fang Zhuo shook his head again and again: "No, no, he has heard of it, but he is very confident."

"I admire Connor's self-confidence. There is no hunter or hunter. He just wants to dispel rumors and challenge bravely."

Xiong Xiaoge was speechless.

"Let's go, Old Xiong, I invite you to have a good meal tonight. It's a welcome. By the way, you can do me a little favor." Fang Zhuo got up and finished his day's work.

"Bah, don't help!" Xiong Xiaoge saw that his colleagues were degraded, and he grew evil.

"You help me create momentum in the public opinion, let your IDG also express investment interest, and I want to let Bingxin's funds be implemented before SMIC's listing." Fang Zhuo directly stated the request.

Xiong Xiaoge emphasized: "I said not to help."

"When you leave from Shencheng, I will give you two extra bottles of good wine, Moutai aged wine, which I treasure." Fang Zhuo thanked in advance.

Xiong Xiaoge shook his head: "Ten bottles!"

"You're asking for a bribe..." Fang Zhuo laughed, "No problem, it's easy to talk about."

Xiong Xiaoge took two steps, and suddenly felt shocked: "Wait, you are not optimistic about SMIC's listing performance?"

Otherwise, why must it be implemented before SMIC goes public!
"I don't know what it will be like to go public with SMIC. In order to avoid bad things, of course we have to implement it as soon as possible." Fang Zhuo said naturally.

"Twenty bottles." Xiong Xiaoge spat out three words, adding ten bottles of sealing fee.

"Okay, my respect for Mr. Xiong is all in the wine." Fang Zhuo was kind.

On the contrary, Xiong Xiaoge further verified his judgment in this joke. This Fang Zhuo is really not optimistic about SMIC's listing performance.

He did not continue to expand on this issue, but began to think about SMIC's situation out of professional instinct.

"Oh yes, you have other cooperation with Goldman Sachs, what about Deutsche Bank? How did you talk with Zhang Hongli?" Xiong Xiaoge remembered another thing.

"I told you, Zhang Hongli and I hit it off right away." Fang Zhuo said innocently. Why is the truth always ignored?
Xiong Xiaoge asked, "How can it be like old friends at first sight?"

"He said he admired my operations on Sina, and it was like old friends at first sight." Fang Zhuo said briefly.

Xiong Xiaoge held back for a few seconds, then commented: "The smell is similar."

Fang Zhuo smiled without saying a word.

Xiong Xiaoge looked at his expression and suddenly realized that he had been scolded too.

Forget it, maybe this is how VCs fare against hunters, always underwhelming.

Husbands do not fight, so the world cannot fight with them.

Xiong Xiaoge recited the Tao Te Ching silently, and his mind immediately calmed down: "You have spent a lot of trouble, painstaking efforts, and deliberation this time, and you really only want to engage in semiconductors? I always think that if you have the energy to engage in other things, you will be able to produce more results."

"What is the result? People always have some challenges, and they always have to face a problem of looking forward many years later. At that time, I will definitely not regret it when I look forward." Fang Zhuo smiled, "I am so deliberate now. I want those who follow me not to regret it."

Xiong Xiaoge nodded and asked, "I still regret your investment in Guahao.com, can you return my shares?"

Fang Zhuo also nodded, and replied: "If the person who followed me regretted it, it must be his own problem."

Xiong Xiaoge was numb.

This kind of numbness can only be resolved with good wine.

……

At the end of July, Xiong Xiaoge, president of IDG China, inadvertently disclosed IDG's recent investment projects at an industry conference, including the consideration of a wafer foundry project.

The guests asked curiously, and Xiong Xiaoge chatted briefly.

However, this conversation revealed the scale of the project.

A man of the Internet industry, Yike and Sina President Fang Zhuo will invest tens of billions to build an advanced semiconductor production line!

In the past, no matter whether it was poaching people or inspecting the city, it was either confined to the small circle of the industry, or both parties kept a low profile. Only the matter of the vice president of Huahong made a little noise, but the friction between Fang Zhuo and Huahong was a little bit, so it is also true. Just calm down.

Xiong Xiaoge's disclosure immediately caused public opinion to explode.

Semiconductor Industry?
Ten billion investment? !
What a big deal!
Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of doubts, why did Fang Zhuo enter this industry?It seems to be a far cry from his previous projects.

Moreover, where did Fang Zhuo get the money to invest?

This is a huge amount of money!
The media's interview requests were sent to Yi Ke one after another, but Fang Zhuo was followed up by the enthusiastic local governments before the reporter could interview the person involved.

What time is it now?
It is an era when everything is looking at GDP!

This tens of billions of investment, first of all, no matter how it came, it will be the richest man in Shencheng, and we will talk about it after contacting and inviting!

Different from the media's reaction, Fang Zhuo has almost received inspection invitations from all provincial capitals here.

Of course, several provincial capitals that are too remote like Sunshine City and Wushi are still indifferent to this.

For the local government, among other things, finding contact information and finding a middleman is not a problem at all. Fang Zhuo’s mobile phone receives calls from unfamiliar numbers every day.

Regardless of shareholders or executives, even your own parents can be middlemen.

When Fang Zhuo got home one night, he heard his father hold back for a long time, and said something-"Our hometown is actually from the Northeast. Your grandfather came to An's house in Anhui Province at that time, and he has been in Anhui Province for a long time."

Fang Zhuo reckoned that if this went on like this, the ancestral graves in his hometown would be found.

It's a matter of DGP, it's a little too polite.

However, what is the power of tens of billions of investment?
Even if it is created, it can create all the ancestral tombs.

Fang Zhuo estimated the enthusiasm of different cities, but he did not fully estimate the degree of everyone's enthusiasm. Moreover, due to administrative factors, he was a bit battered to deal with it.

However, he took advantage of the trend and also identified several cities for the second round of city inspections, such as Rongcheng, Chang'an, Haikou, and Jinmen.

This time, Fang Zhuo will not join the group in person, he just needs to see the final negotiated conditions.

Just like SMIC, it doesn't just put all its production lines in Shanghai, but also has factories in other cities, making full use of the local government's financial and policy support, which is worth learning from Fang Zhuo.

Even if you are not selected this time, there will be a next time. If you keep in touch with each other, there is always a chance to make a fortune together.

The second round of city inspections was much more dynamic than the first round, but this made Luzhou feel uneasy.

The person in charge of investment negotiations from Luzhou State Investment has been on a business trip in Shanghai for more than a week. He has attended two meetings, but the substantive investment has not been negotiated. Seeing that the "Ice Drink Project" has launched a city inspection...

Don't investigate and investigate and destroy your own family!

It's as if Luzhou heard the news about the Lin'an project at the beginning, turned around and recruited the project team with sincerity and actions. Baobuqi, other cities will do the same this time!

Fang Zhuo was sitting in Yike, and received a call from Wang Shushan, the leader of Anhui Province. The other party greeted him kindly during the call. By the way, he mentioned another thing. The aggressive University of Science and Technology of China is trying to promote the establishment of the School of Microelectronics, so as to make Hu Zhengming, the academic exchange There is room for better communication.

this is a good news.

Fang Zhuo understood.

He immediately stated that he would go to Luzhou again soon, this time going straight to the University of Science and Technology of China.
