Reinventing the Millennium.

Chapter 410 Unpleasant ([-] in [-])

Fang Zhuo was interviewed by Economic Daily in Bingxin's office.

He received a call from the President's Office of Shencheng Yike, and then called the visiting reporter. Knowing that the other party wanted to report on the ice core project, he agreed to the interview request.

However, after chatting for a while, Fang Zhuo found that the two young reporters always wanted to bring the topic to the current public opinion battle, and he had some guesses in his heart.

"Reporter Liu, are you here today to interview Bing Xin or to ask my opinion on some public opinion?" Fang Zhuo said with a smile, "I have also met Zheng Junren, the editor-in-chief of your Economic Daily."

Zheng Junren is the deputy editor-in-chief. Fang Zhuo did meet once when he was in Beijing for a meeting last year. He also has a phone number stored in his phone, but he has never dealt with him afterwards.

The two young reporters looked at each other. Liu Dongchao, the reporter named by Fang Zhuo, was suddenly asked this question. He said "uh", hesitated for three seconds, and said, "We really want to interview the ice core project. It is a small domestic semiconductor industry. Some big investments, of course, are also very curious about Mr. Fang's views on the current public opinion."

Fang Zhuo smiled slightly, knowing that he did not want to be honest, so he did not continue to poke down, indicating that the interview process would continue.

Sure enough, reporter Liu Dongchao's follow-up interviews became rigid, and the whole process revolved around Bing Xin's questions, and Fang Zhuo gave answers in a eloquent manner.

However, in addition to the large investment scale, Ice Core is just a foundry in the middle of the IC industry. Even in terms of industrial significance, some people say that it is better to buy it than to make it.

How can it be interesting to talk about this big public opinion debate?
What's more, this is not just an economic theory, there is an extremely exciting real case in front of us.

The drowsy second half of the interview ended with Fang Zhuo's explanation of the significance of the IC industry.

After all, Liu Dongchao was young, so he finally had such an opportunity to interview Fang Zhuo, so he couldn't help asking at the end: "Mr. Fang, I heard that the Entrepreneurs Federation of Anhui Province visited Bingxin two days ago. Gu Zoujun, who follows Greencool, also communicated with Mr. Fang, what does Mr. Fang think of the debate on the restructuring of state-owned enterprises?"

The young reporter was aggressive, but he was also a little apprehensive after asking the question. Today's interview was different from what he had imagined. Although the presidents of Yi Ke and Bingxin were young, they were steady throughout the whole process and showed great bearing.

Fang Zhuo thought for a few seconds before opening his mouth: "I didn't pay much attention to this matter, but I just heard some rumors. How should I put it, I think it's better not to go to extremes. Are there any problems in the process of restructuring state-owned enterprises? There may be."

"But it is too extreme to say that private enterprises have original sin."

"Theories can be said in various ways, but in the actual operation of our company, it is often not one or the other. As far as I am concerned, practice is the first."

Whether it is medical science, Yike, Bingxin, Fang Zhuo's actions have never involved the property rights of state-owned enterprises, but now some of Lang Xianping's fans are already talking about original sin and not original sin, which he thinks is inappropriate.

Furthermore, Lang Xianping's operation has already gained fame, Greencool has also been investigated, and all kinds of debates should be coming to an end.

Fang Zhuo made peace with each other, and there is a more famous saying about "practice". Anyway, he is all about development, whether it is the Internet or semiconductors, it is right to move forward.

Liu Dongchao breathed a sigh of relief, and felt that Mr. Fang's opinion was more in line with his impression of today's interview, and his answer was very safe.

He shook hands with the young president politely and thanked him for accepting the interview.

Fang Zhuo invited reporters from the "Economic Daily" to stay for dinner but was declined. He went back to the office and thought about the content of today's interview, thinking that there would be no problem.

however……

President Yike's words still caused waves.

"Economic Daily" conducted the interview on October 10th. Two days later, the content of the interview on Bingxin's semiconductor project was published on the 15th. Fang Zhuo saw the latest newspaper on the same day. The content is all about ice cores, without the last words.

On this day, Fang Zhuo still felt that although the reporter was a little younger, the things reported were quite serious.

Unexpectedly, two days later, the "Economic Daily" on October 10 published a version of domestic entrepreneurs' views on the current public opinion disputes, and the remarks of Fang Zhuo, President of Yike, were impressively included.

In addition to the president of Yike, other interviewed entrepreneurs are also well-known, most of whom are state-owned enterprises.

——"The reform of property rights of state-owned enterprises must be cautious, otherwise it will easily lead to the loss of assets."

——"I'm not familiar with Gu Zoujun, and I don't know much about his operation of Greencool and Kelon Electric. Since there has been an investigation, the results will surely come out soon."

——"I oppose MBO, no matter what other people do, I will stand up for the country's corporate posts."

——"If an enterprise wants to develop, it must also follow certain rules and cannot grow wildly."

——"State-owned enterprises are developing well now. I don't think we can look at the current development with old eyes. Many enterprises have already rectified the name of state-owned assets, which is ignored by many people."

Most of the remarks were faintly on Lang Xianping's side, but Fang Zhuo's steady response was more obvious in comparison.

It's like "one step forward who is willing to take on the task". As a result, Fang Zhuo didn't move forward, and everyone else took a step back. He became the one who took a step forward.

Some of Lang Xianping's supporters saw the report in the "Economic Daily" and almost immediately thought that President Yike was secretly objecting.

What theory do you know as an entrepreneur?
Where do you stand?
You say it's either one or the other?It's either one or the other!
The last one who dared to stand up loudly has already sacrificed the flag, and now there are still people who dare to come out?

Then, this group of people researched Fang Zhuo's various business practices, Guahao.com, Yike, Sina, Bingxin...

Tsk, it seems difficult to get started. Guahao.com seems to have no profit, Yike sells music players, Sina is an Internet portal website, and Bingxin has just started... It should not be involved at all from the restructuring of state-owned enterprises. The two are mutually related. No collisions and interactions.

It is difficult for a group of people to have any substantive attacks for a while, but Lang Xianping was asked his opinion in an interview again, and he, a well-known economist, responded with a smile.

"I know Fang Zhuo and know that his business is very successful. It may be this success that makes him have no clear understanding of state-owned enterprises."

"Private enterprises can do well, they can go public, but state-owned enterprises can't?"

"State-owned enterprises can also do well. Is Huaxia Telecom not good? Is it worse than private enterprises?"

This is the first time Lang Xianping mentioned Fang Zhuo, and it was a report in the "Economic Daily" when asked by a reporter.

Only one day later, Lang Xianping took the initiative to mention Fang Zhuo, a young entrepreneur, for the second time in front of another media.

"I know Fang Zhuo and know that he successfully used capital to control Sina."

"This is a classic business case, but for state-owned enterprises, they must firmly grasp the control, and cannot fall into the hands of barbarians at the door like Sina."

"Don't get me wrong, this barbarian is not a term to describe a person, but a term to describe a hostile takeover."

"When state-owned enterprises don't want to give up control, and the management uses various methods to achieve this goal, such a management has become a barbarian in the door, which must be guarded against."

Two days later, Lang Xianping talked about Fang Zhuo for the third time in an exclusive interview with Sohu.

"Mr. Fang of Sina said that practice comes first, but practice must also be guided by theory."

"In particular, a portal like Sina that can publish news, without the correct theoretical guidance, is undoubtedly prone to mistakes."

"I believe Mr. Fang should be able to truly understand this, and correspondingly, he should also be able to understand some of the existing problems."

In less than a week, the hot new star economist frequently cueed representatives of the Internet industry, and finally woke up the young CEO who was pretending to be asleep.

But Fang Zhuo did not respond directly, he declined the sudden increase in media interview requests, and only indirectly expressed his views through Sina.

This is an article given by the chief writer Xu Changlun, a little discussion of Lang Xianping's metaphor that resounds through the media.

——Excellent management is not just a babysitter, and their role in the enterprise is not just cleaning.

——It is possible not to engage in MBO-style acquisition of property rights, but it is not necessary to increase remuneration, introduce modern enterprise management methods, and increase incentives such as stock options, so as to exert subjective initiative.

Xu Changlun carefully delineated the scope of the discussion, and took the development of Sina as an example, trying to prove what kind of role an excellent management can play. The market value of his company is already dozens of times that of the previous two years.

Is this increase entirely due to the recovery of the Internet industry?

If this is the case, why does Sohu's market value fall last?
After this article was published, Sina followed up with another poll by netizens. Last time, 90% of the netizens who voted believed that there was a problem with Gu Zoujun. This time, 90% of the netizens who voted believed that Fang Zhuo had no problem.

Soon, the reporter who was always chasing the latest battle situation handed the microphone in front of Lang Xianping.

Lang Xianping is not only a professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, but also a professor at Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business, which was established last year.

He was interviewed by reporters again in the office where he publicly responded to Gu Zoujun, and talked about the netizen voting activity conducted by Sina.

In Lang Xianping's view, this kind of voting activity was a wrong move, and it was helping himself, because it took the initiative to amplify Fang Zhuo's doubts.

Does Fang Zhuo have any problems in the operation process?
As a person who started his business with the help of a private enterprise and did not participate in the property rights of state-owned enterprises, he will certainly not have any problems in restructuring.

But, did he have no other problems along the way?
Lang Xianping thinks the answer should be yes.

"Sina's vote is very interesting."

"I've also seen this statistic. 90% of the people who voted thought Fang Zhuo was very good. Then I have a small procedural question. Are there more people who didn't vote than this 90%?"

Lang Xianping said lightly: "This is just an entertainment activity on the website, and it doesn't represent anything. Mr. Gu Zoujun said in public two weeks ago that he is not afraid of investigation. I wonder if Mr. Fang Zhuo would like to have such an expression?"

"For example, as far as I know, there is a real estate development company in Shanghai. I was quite surprised when Mr. Fang Zhuo entered this industry for the first time."

"I am not opposed to private enterprises, I hope that private enterprises will develop in a healthy way."

"Only in this way can private enterprises develop faster and better."

Lang Xianping only said a few words on Fang Zhuo's question, and his main energy was spent on responding to new questions raised by Zhang Weiying and others at Peking University.

And such a popular economist simply pointed out the direction, and some of his supporters automatically pointed in the direction.

Is there any problem with East Five Blocks?
Does the newly established Yongke Real Estate have any loan problems?
Even, is there any problem with a project like Bingxin, which claims to invest tens of billions?
With such a large investment, do you know the money in it?
As Lang Xianping and his supporters identified a second private enterprise entrepreneur, Zhou Qiren of Peking University also put forward a point of view.

"Fang Zhuo is undoubtedly an excellent entrepreneur. I don't even think that people like him need to be involved in such issues. As long as the property rights reform continues to develop, it must be taken seriously."

“The problem is that this field has its own set of difficulties.”

"At the beginning, there was no clear agreement and sound regulations. Now it is not easy to go back and clarify the share of property rights reform?"

"It is precisely based on this that Fang Zhuo and I have the same view that practice is the most important character in this process."

When public opinion starts to debate, when someone goes to extremes, a simple question is not so simple, not to mention, this is not a simple but an extremely complicated question.

At the end of October, Qiu Ciyun returned to Luzhou from New York, more engineers arrived in Luzhou, and more administrative staff were transferred to Luzhou. Fang Zhuo and a group of leaders from Anhui Province and Luzhou witnessed the start of the pile foundation project of the production plant.

According to the plan, the pouring of waffle slabs can be completed in 5 months, the main workshop of the production line project can be capped in 3 months, and the positive pressure air supply in the clean room can be carried out in 2 months.

It can be said that the plant construction of the ice core project has been planned, and the complete plant construction will be seen by this time next year.

Fang Zhuo was very happy, and so was the leader.

In this case, Qiu Ciyun will continue to stay in Luzhou, and Fang Zhuo will fly to Shencheng amidst the enthusiasm of the leaders. He has to deal with the listing of Yike in the United States, and he just happens to take a look at the procurement of American equipment.

On October 10, Fang Zhuo arrived at Shanghai Airport with two secretaries and assistants.

When he drove to the headquarters of Yike in Hang Lung 23, there were eager reporters downstairs.

Fang Zhuo bumped his head into the camera, without any intention of responding to the question.

However, when words such as "East Five Dollars" came to my ears, and when the reporter asked Mr. Fang about Lang Xianping's frequent mention of him, Fang Zhuo still gave a light response.

"Unpleasant."

The young president returned to Hang Lung 23 with the enthusiasm of the leaders in his hometown and against the overwhelming public opinion.
