Reinventing the Millennium.

Chapter 400 Delivered to Your Door (Two in One)

Fang Zhuo had to stay in the capital for a few more days, mainly to wait for feedback from the ministry.

When meeting with the leader earlier, he emphasized that the time for the project cannot wait for others, and described the investment considerations of international capital.

The leader did not give a definitive statement, but Fang Zhuo received a call from his secretary the next day after drinking and communicating with Xiong Xiaoge, and heard a tendentious opinion—the ministry probably should give a decision within a few days The plan to list ice cores as key projects of ministries and commissions.

In addition, the secretary gave a vague sentence, looking at the development of the ice core in the future, it may be able to apply for higher-level project support.

The state has always supported the development of the semiconductor industry. Whether it is Huajing and Huahong, which were tried out by the "908 Project" and "909 Project", or the "Tenth Five-Year Plan" special plan for integrated circuits, this is the will of the upper echelon.

However, Huajing Company failed so much that it was included in 601 debt-to-equity swap companies. Now it has been acquired by China Resources, and Huajing Group is also struggling. The cooperation with Japanese companies has increasingly proved that this road is not feasible.

How to advance and develop the semiconductor industry is not only an internal consideration of the industry, but also something that high-level executives have been thinking about.

In the past two years, the vigorous development of SMIC established by Zhang Rujing is a positive trend since the strategic planning of related industries in China.

Now, the senior vice presidents from SMIC and representatives of the domestic Internet industry are willing to work together to create new projects in Luzhou, and have already worked out a rough framework, which is what the leaders are happy to see.

Even if you can try and make more mistakes.

Therefore, based on this main factor and the good impression that Fang Zhuo has given to the leadership this year, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology decided to give a certain amount of support to Bingxin CSMC.

Bear the brunt of it, we must give it a name.

This point can be easily determined after discussion, and it does not take much time. It is the direction of the administrative level for the integrated circuit industry.

Second, substantive support, including export subsidies, will take some time to study.

Fang Zhuo learned about the situation from his secretary, but he didn't care about things that would take time. He just wanted to implement the former quickly, but he couldn't say that, so he had to wait silently.

Fortunately, people have things to do in the capital.

Fang Zhuo called Ni Runfeng of Changhong, intending to meet and discuss whether there is room for cooperation.

Ni Runfeng said on the phone that he had something to do in the past two days, and set the time for the dinner in three days.

On the one hand, Fang Zhuo asked people from different fields to continue to collect Changhong, Apex, and color TV chip solutions, and on the other hand, he went to Sina to inspect the work of President Wang Yan.

Sina showed a warm welcome to the chairman's presence.

When Fang Zhuo showed up at Sina headquarters, he immediately saw surprise eyes and heard excited greetings.

"Boss Fang is here, Boss Fang is here!"

"Look, it's Mr. Fang!"

"Mr. Fang, Mr. Fang, when will we move Sina to Shanghai?"

Distance produces beauty.

Although Sina proposed KPI for the first time, the follow-up implementation was not done by the chairman. Instead, it was Fang Zhuo who raised the salary and bonus.

When a chairman like him can bring Sina's stock price to the sky, everyone is only full of joy for him. Maybe because of his age, many employees speak quite boldly.

Fang Zhuo cheerfully greeted him in a circle, and chatted with his acquainted subordinate who worked on the Sina hotline before finally walking into the chairman's office.

Sina President Wang Yan is already waiting.

"Welcome the chairman to inspect the work." Wang Yan said sternly.

Fang Zhuo laughed: "Brother Wang, even if you put on an air, you won't be standing in front of the desk like this, right?"

"Welcome, I'm afraid that one accidentally offends the richest man in Shanghai and asks him to sell all his Sina stocks." Wang Yan was half joking.

At present, all the stocks held by Fang Zhuo have passed the lock-up period. As long as he wants to sell, according to the current stock price of Sina, it will immediately become another Buffett-style investment operation.

I saw media reports that Mr. Fang sold NetEase and Sohu stocks. Even though Wang Yan thinks that Sina stocks are relatively safe, Mr. Fang can't bear to make another big investment now.

The tens of billions of investment in semiconductors is surprising and curious to others, but it is a bit worrying to Sina's management. If the chairman sells the shares, Sina will immediately fall into shock again.

As for Wang Yan personally, since he took over the position of president, he is completely grateful for his decision to side with President Fang.

Fang Zhuo heard something in Wang Yan's words, and said with a smile: "I won't sell Sina shares for quite a long time, so don't worry about it. The ice core I'm going to make must also allow international capital to enter the market."

Wang Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and said seriously: "Sina can only move forward under the leadership of Mr. Fang."

This sounds a little flattering, but judging from the actual development of the company, it is not bad at all. Without Fang Zhuo, Sina would immediately have to re-emerge in the battle for control, and the company's current strategic development was determined by Fang Zhuo alone.

Fang Zhuo laughed out loud, and said modestly: "It is everyone who works together to move forward. Today I came here to listen to three pieces of content, Sina's media strategy, wireless value-added market, and game introduction department."

Wang Yan nodded and explained the situation of Sina.

As of today, the stock price of Sina is 52.30 US dollars, and another NetEase in the same industry has recently surpassed the stock price with an astonishing gesture, and has climbed to 54.74 US dollars.

Sohu is more than a chip behind, and now it is only 37 US dollars.

Sina's current stock price is supported by the increase in hits and the dividends in the wireless value-added market. Sohu is similar in this regard, but Netease's soaring all the way with "Journey to the West 2" is too enviable.

"The imagination brought by the wireless value-added market is almost the same." Fang Zhuo commented while reading the report, "There must be growth in this market, but the stock price is a bit too sought after now. If I am an institution, I can consider leaving the market. .”

Wang Yan thought to himself, Mr. Fang is an institution, and MIGA still has a seat on the board of directors...

"NetEase's game still has room for imagination, it's really good." Fang Zhuo continued, "This kind of business directly stimulates the stock price, and Ding Lei is very powerful."

Wang Yan sighed: "No one thought that "A Chinese Journey to the West 2" would be so popular!"

"What about the contact with Blizzard?" Fang Zhuo asked.

"We contacted Blizzard. They have a game that hasn't been produced yet, and they have no plans to sell the agency right now." Wang Yan said cautiously, "The game department made an assessment based on the information given by the other party, and felt that the It’s too receptive to that style of play.”

Fang Zhuo said noncommittally: "It's not urgent to contact other manufacturers again."

Wang Yan thinks this is what it should be. From the perspective of the stock price, it is obviously too late for Sina to develop its own games, and it is difficult to compare with the NetEase team. It is better to introduce excellent games from abroad.

He continued to report on Sina's work, and also mentioned some uncertain considerations, especially e-mail.

……

While the chairman and president of Sina were discussing the company's development, news about the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's proposed ice core as a key project spread from different channels in a small area.

Xu Xiaoping, the vice president of New Oriental, was attending a meeting of the education department in Beijing and overheard people chatting about the recent tens of billions of investment, saying that this project will be listed as a key project of the Ministry of Education, and the future development must be very good.

Xu Xiaoping is the vice president and director of New Oriental Education Technology Group. He has been in the education industry for 7 years, but he is also very interested in investment in private.

Hearing such news this time, my heart was moved, and it was even more itchy to confirm the source of the news after the meeting was over.

Xu Xiaoping went home at night to collect some information about the ice core project, studied it repeatedly, and then flipped through the address book on the phone, looking for reliable friends to give advice.

Finally, Xu Xiaoping called Shen Nanpeng, chairman of Ctrip.com.

He saw Deutsche Bank, an international investment bank, in the information about Bingxin, and he also knew that Shen Nanpeng worked for Deutsche Bank from 96 to 99, and his position was the director of Huaxia Capital Market, so he wanted to find out the authenticity of the news. .

Shen Nanpeng was surprised to receive a call from Xu Xiaoping. He was even more surprised after learning about his intentions, but he did not refuse to help. He contacted his old colleagues in Deutsche Bank and learned that Deutsche Bank was more optimistic about the ice core project.

"Mr. Xu, Deutsche Bank should be investing in this project. Why do you suddenly pay attention to semiconductors?" Shen Nanpeng gave the information in the call back, and asked Xu Xiaoping's motive.

Xu Xiaoping didn't hide it, and told the news about the key projects he had learned.

Shen Nanpeng was taken aback: "I heard that SMIC is about to go public. The semiconductor industry is indeed likely to take off. Bingxin wants to take advantage of this shareholder wind."

Xu Xiaoping said seriously: "I think Fang Zhuo is very powerful, and he is very good at projects. I plan to vote for some and try. I just asked someone for his number. I will call him later and make an appointment for a dinner."

Shen Nanpeng thought for a while, and was quite interested: "Then Mr. Xu, if you make an agreement with Fang Zhuo, I will also count as one."

Xu Xiaoping said confidently: "Okay, I heard that Fang Zhuo is quite kind."

An educator and a traveler ended the call, both of whom had some amateur interest in investing.

Xu Xiaoping read the information on Hui Bingxin again, organized the meeting to speak, and called Fang Zhuo.

Soon, the call is connected.

Fang Zhuo received an unfamiliar number in the hotel suite. After connecting, he heard the other party's self-introduction and knew his intentions. It felt quite... ridiculous.

It's not that he doesn't know Xu Xiaoping. The question is, isn't the other party still engaged in education at New Oriental?Haven't embarked on the road of angel investors yet?

"Mr. Xu, you may not know much about the semiconductor industry. You are in the education industry, so there are a lot of strides between the two sides." Fang Zhuo said tactfully.

Xu Xiaoping said enthusiastically: "Although I have never met, I believe in Mr. Fang's ability! Isn't Mr. Fang also engaged in semiconductors across industries?"

Fang Zhuo didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and this was delivered to his door. It would be great if the old bear had Xu Xiaoping as simple as this.

He declined again and said, "Mr. Xu, you haven't even met me. You deserve it for trusting me."

Xu Xiaoping insisted: "Mr. Fang, I heard that you are in the capital. When do you have time, let's go out to have a meal and meet each other. Now we know each other? I believe you."

Euphemisms come and go, this one still has to invest money.

Fang Zhuo had no choice but to tell the truth: "Mr. Xu, you work for New Oriental, right? Is this your first investment?"

"Yes, Mr. Fang, but I have been studying investment for a long time. Buffett said that investing is investing in people." Xu Xiaoping was very excited.

"Not everything that Buffett said is right, it depends on the situation." Fang Zhuo said calmly, "Actually, Mr. Xu, with all due respect, I don't recommend that someone with wealth like you just stop investing."

"I can tell you responsibly that you are not good at taking investment risks."

"New Oriental hasn't gone public yet, right? In the current situation, it's best for you to earn the first pot of gold in your job as soon as possible."

"President Xu, do you understand?"

Fang Zhuo's words were a bit impolite, and underage investors should not come in front of him.

Xu Xiaoping was stunned, don't even want to invest in door-to-door?
He was silent for a while, and asked, "Mr. Fang, do you think you have too little money?"

"Mr. Xu, 500 million Huaxia coins... is indeed a bit small." Fang Zhuo said helplessly, "Since you said you want to vote, you should have known the scale of the ice core project..."

"No matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat." Xu Xiaoping thought so.

"In the future, Mr. Xu, there will be a chance in the future." Fang Zhuo still refused.

Xu Xiaoping ended the call in dismay.

Fang Zhuo didn't pay much attention to this matter, he just found it a little funny and bizarre.

Unexpectedly, he received a call from Xiong Xiaoge the next afternoon.

"What ecstasy did you give Xu Xiaoping?"

"I received a call from this person for the first time last night, Old Bear, you also know him?" Fang Zhuo was surprised.

"We considered investing in New Oriental before, but we didn't make it, and we're all in the capital. Isn't it normal for us to know each other?" Xiong Xiaoge asked, "He called me at noon and said that he would use our IDG to cast ice cores together. Shen Nanpeng, the boss of Ctrip."

Fang Zhuo asked, "How much?"

"The two of you invested $300 million together," Xiong Xiaoge replied.

"Old Xiong, look, they have a better vision for education and tourism than you. I don't know what's going on with this matter. If you want to take over, you can take over." Fang Zhuo said indifferently, "Anyway, I'm here to see IDG."

Xiong Xiaoge was confused, didn't Fang Zhuo give people ecstasy?Now even outsiders want to come and get involved?
He thought and thought, and said, "That's fine. The US$300 million is in the name of our IDG. I think Xu Xiaoping is quite persistent and stubborn. Maybe there is some additional judgment information. In this case, let President Fang use a The tens of billions of projects bring people into the industry."

Fang Zhuo agreed at first, but when he heard this, he said: "Hey, old bear, I don't like to hear your words. Why are you so weird? This has nothing to do with me. It's your IDG whether you bring people into the industry or not."

Xiong Xiaoge said with a sigh: "Okay, this time I will bring these two education and tourism professionals to experience Mr. Fang's project, and teach them the first lesson - investment is risky, and you need to be cautious when entering the industry."

"You can't invest, No. 1 yin and yang, old bear, if you want to lose people's money, you can wait to be doused with gasoline." Fang Zhuo mocked.

"At that time, I have to ask Mr. Fang for his experience in hiding gasoline." Xiong Xiaoge said lightly.

Fang Zhuo hey, let's go, come and come, what else can we do if we insist on investing money?
