Reinventing the Millennium.

Chapter 407 Sweeping (Two in One)

"Oxidation Furnaces, England and Germany."

"PVD equipment, USA, Switzerland, UK, Germany."

"Ion implanter, United States."

"PECVD, USA, Japan."

On the last day of September, Xiong Xiaoge was eating breakfast while reading the materials he took out from Fang Zhuo's folder.

"Mr. Fang, most of the items on the equipment list have American options, and the review over there is indeed the top priority."

Fang Zhuo took a sip of soy milk, said "hmm", and continued to read the newspaper on the table.

Because when he returned to Luzhou for the first time, everything had to be done step by step, and considering IDG’s American team, Fang Zhuo lived in a hotel together to facilitate communication, and the administrative staff he brought began to rent apartments nearby to get started with all aspects of work.

It is easier to simply recruit engineers from other companies, but to truly fulfill those promises, it must be implemented meticulously.

Engineers are not parts of the foundry, and their food, clothing, housing and transportation are related to the reputation of Ice Core in the industry. Fang Zhuo did not intend to make a deal that the other party signed a contract and it was over, but wanted long-term development.

"The censorship in the United States requires me to go there by myself, and Qiu Ciyun can't handle it alone." Fang Zhuo turned a page of the newspaper and talked about the plan, "Before Zhang Rujing passed the review and commitment of several departments in the United States, I It is estimated that it may be a little looser now, but it is about the same."

Xiong Xiaoge said with some concern: "Zhang Rujing has a reputation in the industry, do you want to find an international expert to claim the name of a consultant, and then we will be together?"

"He has prestige, and I have capital." Fang Zhuo always remembered each other's strengths and weaknesses, and said with a smile, "So, I plan to go to the trial after Yike is listed on Nasdaq. Good Death also controls two listed companies in the U.S., so the promises made are of some weight."

Xiong Xiaoge did not expect this level. Regarding the listing of Yike, he has always considered the competition situation of Yike in music players, and the medium and long-term future value of Yike.

Fang Zhuo continued: "Moreover, Sony's situation is getting worse and worse. This year's player sales are rising steadily. By the beginning of the year, Sony's annual report will still be a bomb. Its electronics department has suffered more than the outside world imagined. even bigger."

"The changes in the music industry initiated by Yike and Apple will usher in more discussions. At that time, public opinion will be available, and the corresponding reputation will be better. In turn, it will affect the judgment of those departments in the United States."

Fang Zhuo shrugged and concluded: "When you go abroad, you can't talk about industry or not. You have to talk about capital. Why can't capitalists with two listed companies buy equipment?"

Xiong Xiaoge was dumbfounded. These were all connected by Mr. Fang. If you say it is useless, it may not be. If you say it is useful, I really don't know how effective it will be, but this guy's thinking has always been so unexpected.

His current position is the same as Fang Zhuo's, and he nodded: "Well, if you need help, just talk."

Fang Zhuo took advantage of the situation and said, "Bring me another cup of soy milk, thank you."

Xiong Xiaoge: "..."

The hotel's buffet breakfast tastes good. Xiong Xiaoge took a cup of soy milk and bought half an extra breakfast for himself. After sitting down, he said casually, "Speaking of public opinion, have you seen the Changhong report these days?"

Fang Zhuo took a sip of soymilk as if nothing had happened, and nodded: "Well, there is still a report in the newspaper on my desk, and I think there is a problem with Changhong."

"Changhong really suffered this time, and the stock price fell again." Xiong Xiaoge shook his head, "But this news report is also outrageous, there is no evidence, speculative analysis of Changhong's gray operation, the mud falling into the crotch is either shit or shit shit."

Fang Zhuo frowned: "Old Xiong, it's time for breakfast."

Xiong Xiaoge said "Hey", and suddenly said in a low voice: "There is something strange about Changhong, don't say you didn't see it."

Fang Zhuo's heart skipped a beat. Looking at the old Xiong's mysterious expression, he said flatly, "I'm busy with ice cores every day. When I open my eyes, it's your venture capital investment. When I close my eyes, it's equipment procurement. How can I care about this?"

"That's right." Xiong Xiaoge nodded, and said, "Ni Runfeng wants to engage in a management buyout. I suspect that this sudden public opinion is his trick."

Fang Zhuo almost choked on the soy milk, gave a thumbs up, and said sincerely: "Niu pen."

Xiong Xiaoge laughed: "Yes, it suddenly became clear, right? If you want to win Changhong, you have to let it go through labor pains. This time, Ni Runfeng is afraid that he wants to complete his achievements in one battle. He has a strong background in Sichuan Province, and Changhong has been in business for a long time. This time, the focus of public opinion is on Changhong’s subsidiary.”

"Its subsidiaries are involved in all aspects. I am afraid that Ni Runfeng can easily be transferred to the rigid level of the state-owned enterprise system. It is a good excuse to use the knife."

"Public opinion has lowered the market value, and the problem involves the system. Ni Runfeng's property rights reform has been planned for a long time."

Xiong Xiaoge's eloquent analysis.

"Property rights reform, it's really difficult to grasp where the scale is." Fang Zhuo said a little bit about his thoughts, "TCL's Li Dongsheng is a successful man, and Changhong's situation is much more complicated than TCL. Whether Ni Runfeng can succeed is still unknown."

"The public opinion this time is afraid that it will cause a bigger storm of discussion. What you and I see are a TCL and a Changhong, but behind the scenes, I don't know how many TCLs and Changhong have completed or attempted to reform their property rights."

"How the higher-ups think, look, decide, and manage, this is something worth pondering."

Xiong Xiaoge was startled, and suggested the easiest direction to figure out: "One size fits all?"

"The fluctuations and repetitions of corporate reform are normal. If we really want to cut across the board, it may not be a lazy policy in the current background. It may have to be cut, otherwise..." Fang Zhuo shrugged, "Hey, what's there to talk about, I'm done eating, I'll go up and change my clothes, and I'll see my engineers today, Old Bear, hurry up and eat too."

The young president got up and left with the newspaper and folders. He had nothing else to do today. The main thing was to meet the engineers who had arrived in Luzhou, and then he went to the University of Science and Technology of China to talk about the placement of some special talents.

Xiong Xiaoge sat at the dining table a little absent-minded, this President Fang, this Fang Zhuo, from the perspective of things...

He was surprised by the young CEO's on-the-spot analysis, but he also had some doubts. Couldn't it be, wouldn't it be, Ni Runfeng could play a bitter game and upgrade public opinion?That was really interesting.

Xiong Xiaoge has nothing to do with the restructuring of state-owned enterprises, and the investment projects are basically not related, but this does not prevent him from observing the current market trends. After all, many policies are not limited to narrow industries, and can cause chain reactions.

Thinking about it this way, there is a feeling of reassurance about this investment in ice cores.

No matter how the policy changes, the semiconductor industry will definitely only be encouraged.

Xiong Xiaoge slowly peeled an egg, marked the direction of public opinion in his heart, and planned to see what happened next.

……

As of September 241th, [-] employees have been recruited/digged for the ice core project, and there are also several engineers in different positions who are negotiating salary.

Some of these people were originally from fabs, some were IC designers in the upstream industry, some came from Baodao to Shencheng and then came to Luzhou, and some were attracted from abroad by preferential treatment.

The personnel composition is varied, and the technical level is generally at the upper level. Regarding the integration of these employees, Qiu Ciyun handed it over to Zhang Dongping, the deputy director of the operation organization who followed him from SMIC to Icecore.

Zhang Dongping was in the middle level at Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. in Taiwan in his early years. Later, he went to the middle and high level of SMIC. Now he comes to Bingxin and belongs to the real high level.

Fang Zhuo had communicated with this guy several times, and felt that his work was more practical. Today, at his request, he held a meeting in the hotel conference hall to reassure the engineers.

Dozens of engineers have arrived in Luzhou now, and they are in the half-research and half-holiday stage.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Fang Zhuo, Xiong Xiaoge, IDG America's Brown and others appeared in the noisy and lively conference hall.

Fang Zhuo heard a lot of difficult professional terms on the way from the aisle to the stage, and he also heard such words as "You are from SMIC? I am Huahong, I am Huahong", "It's a pleasure to meet you, I have heard of you" and so on. Greetings.

"Everyone, everybody."

As Fang Zhuo stood in the center of the stage and picked up the microphone, the voice in the conference hall gradually decreased.

In addition to dozens of engineers, Fang Zhuo also brought [-] administrative staff to the meeting.

"Some people may not know me, but they must know my name. I am Fang Zhuo, the initiator of the ice core project, and currently serve as the president of ice core CSMC."

"I didn't want to hold this meeting with you today, but I wanted to find a formal office for Ice Core, but Director Zhang said that everyone wanted to see me. Although I knew he was just talking, but after thinking about it, I felt that there was something wrong with me. necessary."

"There are many reasons and considerations for the Bingxin project to settle in Luzhou. I can see everyone here today, so I won't explain those reasons. I just want to talk about my determination and Luzhou's."

"Some people know the sincerity of Luzhou in recruiting our project. They want to fully support the development of Ice Core and guarantee everyone's material conditions in an all-round way."

"I'm mainly going to talk about that now."

"Everyone, please write down my mobile phone number. From now on, whether it's children going to school, family members seeing a doctor, or your spouse working, it's just those things that bother you and prevent you from working well. If the company's administrative department can't solve them, you can call me. , I will solve it."

Fang Zhuo said categorically: "I promise this is not a joke, we Bingxin are not all here today, everyone can tell other people what I said, and you can come to me if you can't solve it!"

"This is the promise of the richest man in Anhui Province!"

Fang Zhuo came to his hometown and spoke on the land of his hometown. Naturally, he also wore the honorary title of his hometown.

"Now, everyone, take out your mobile phone and write down my number. This is my private mobile phone number. If you remember it, don't pass it on."

Fang Zhuo really announced his private mobile phone number, and after repeating it twice, he said: "I will talk about this today, and then Director Zhang will talk about our work arrangements."

The young president ended with a short but powerful speech.

As he walked off the stage, there was a slow but warm applause in the conference hall.

Mr. Fang didn't mention the significance of the semiconductor industry, he didn't mention the need to catch up with the world's first-class level, he didn't mention how many billions he would raise in the first round of financing, he only mentioned one thing, to solve everyone's worries!
Such a statement was beyond everyone's expectations, and it was really touching.

No matter how competitive the salary offered by Bingxin is, when they actually came to Luzhou, quite a few people still wondered in their hearts, can they stay here?Can the family be protected?

Still from the perspective that employees are also human beings, money can solve most problems, but not all problems.

The warm applause in the conference hall lasted for a long time, and Zhang Dongping on the stage also applauded and digested. From his position above, he could clearly see that everyone's spirits were high.

"Yes, Mr. Fang, I still admire your mouth."

Xiong Xiaoge praised Fang Zhuo who came over.

"Everyone gave me applause precisely because they expected me to do what I said." Fang Zhuo smiled, "I can't fool these people just by talking about it. It depends on the follow-up actions."

Xiong Xiaoge chanted "People's hearts are available", and said: "Just now I received your Sina wireless news push on my mobile phone. Guess what it is?"

"Did Sina's stock price rise or fall?" Fang Zhuo asked.

Xiong Xiaoge shook his head, and said with a solemn face: "A professor from Hong Kong Chinese University, Lang Xianping, gave a speech on corporate restructuring in Fudan, bombarding Haier, TCL, Changhong, and Greencool's reform of state-owned enterprises. The wording is very harsh, and the privatization of Russia was used as an analogy!"

Fang Zhuo frowned: "Oh?"

Xiong Xiaoge sighed: "I'm afraid Ni Runfeng is going to play too big this time."

Fang Zhuo sighed and said, "Ni Runfeng may have played too big."

"What do you think will happen to Changhong?" Xiong Xiaoge looked at the deputy director of the operation organization on the stage, and continued to chat about additional topics.

Fang Zhuo reached out and patted Xiong Xiaoge's shoulder: "Old Xiong, don't mind your own business. It is my greatest wish to get the ice core right."

Xiong Xiaoge pouted, what an interesting business discussion, this guy has no interest at all, which shows how much pressure Bingxin's fundraising and projects can bring to people!

……

Ni Runfeng was confused.

After a report from "Huaxia Securities Journal" almost hit the point, suddenly another professor directly went online, which is really unbearable.

Different from asking Changhong's public relations department to give a response before, Ni Runfeng decided to deal with it in an extremely sensitive manner this time, and did not give the professor at Fudan University any room to ferment.

However, things never depend on individual will. Changhong did not speak out, and Ni Runfeng did not accept interviews. Other professors, scholars, and economists jumped out to refute Lang Xianping's views.

"Attacking one point is not as good as the rest, which is biased."

"Be kind to entrepreneurs, don't demonize them."

"Don't engage in the liquidation of the original sin!"

These voices came from professors and well-known scholars from Peking University, Tsinghua University, Fudan University and other universities. However, soon another group of people came out to issue a joint statement-"Support Lang Xianping".

The controversy of public opinion is heating up and escalating, you come and go, it's so lively.

Well, Ni Runfeng felt like he was dying.
