Reinventing the Millennium.

Chapter 415 The Real Investor (Two in One)

The door run by President Yike was slammed shut.

Everyone outside looked at Xiong Xiaoge who had come out, and some even poked their heads out of the department office to look.

Contrary to what everyone imagined, Xiong Xiaoge, President of IDG Huaxia District, has a calm and natural expression, without any angry red or gaffe.

He went straight to Yi Ke's reception room, ignoring those veiled gazes.

Almost at the moment Xiong Xiaoge closed the door of the reception room, buzzing discussions started.

As the vice president of Yike, Su Wei immediately rushed to the front line of eating melons.

She also took some less important company information in her hand, knocked lightly on the door of the CEO's office and walked in, and saw Boss Fang smoking a cigarette.

"It's okay."

Su Wei put down the information and asked a question.

Fang Zhuo shook his head in disappointment, and sighed: "The old bear came early because he cut his robe and judged justice."

"Ah?" Su Wei thought, "Yike rings the bell, isn't he going?"

Fang Zhuo looked up at Teacher Xiao Su, but said nothing.

Su Wei thought for another twenty seconds, and said, "IDG is already a shareholder of Bingxin, and Mr. Xiong is a director. This relationship cannot be severed."

Fang Zhuo wiped out the smoke in surprise and stared at Vice President Su.

Su Wei didn't know why.

The two stared at each other for half a minute.

Su Wei avoided the fiery expectant eyes, and asked strangely: "Is there anything wrong with what I said?"

Fang Zhuo nodded slightly, it's not bad to have some skills like his own.

He said melancholy: "Old Xiong is very strange, sometimes he believes in me, sometimes he doesn't believe me, when he invests, he invests, and sometimes he doesn't believe that the people he invests can reach the finish line smoothly. "

"It's obvious that at this time, you have to be hypocritical, but you have come to cut off your righteousness with a circumcision robe."

Su Wei thought about it and commented: "Mr. Xiong may be a lover."

She continued: "The ice core was hit. He thinks you may have some misleading information. When the situation is not so bad, you should be able to figure it out."

Su Wei looked at the boss's pensive expression, and made a small suggestion: "The business situation is complicated and unpredictable, Mr. Xiong seems to think that you have not treated him with sincerity, and you should communicate more in the future to show your sincerity." .”

Makes sense.

From now on, just be an individual.

Fang Zhuo stood up: "Let's go."

"Huh? Are you looking for Boss Xiong?" Su Wei didn't realize it all at once.

"A meeting, a meeting." Fang Zhuo said this, his mood swings have calmed down, and we will talk about the old bear later.

"Uh, that's good." Su Wei couldn't see any trace of previous depression from the boss's face, so she could only think that psychological quality has always been a strong part of a business person.

Fang Zhuo instructed while walking: "Go downstairs and prepare some security guards before the meeting, don't be too conspicuous."

Su Wei was stunned: "As for?"

As for?Today's meeting is full of famous figures, the president of this company, the chief of that company, what kind of fierce conflicts can break out?
"I have had some communication with Goldman Sachs, and this is not the first time for Lao Xiong, but up to now, Zhang Hongli from Deutsche Bank has only briefly informed me about SMIC, and Connor from DCM has not contacted me at all," Fang Zhuo explained. , "Mr. Su, you must be prepared at all times, otherwise, if someone jumps on the table and pulls my hair, that would be a disgrace."

Pulling the hair will definitely not pull the hair, the boss's hair is so short.

It took Su Wei a second to understand that Fang always said it from her own point of view, her hair is very long.

She asked with some concern: "What if there is a conflict?"

Fang Zhuo stopped, turned to look at Vice President Su, and said strangely: "At that time, will you still be merciful?"

Su Wei: "I..."

"The contract is written in black and white, we are innocent, so what to do, whoever wants to mess up, just beat them out with a stick." Fang Zhuo comforted, "That's just the worst case, but we have to be prepared, don't be afraid."

Business activities are sometimes not so gentle, and it takes more preparation.

If it is not necessary, who wants to conflict with Party A?

Judging from the normal situation, everyone should have a sense of proportion, even if they are suddenly out of the norm, they must be able to match it.

Fang Zhuo walked out of the president's office and came to the meeting room, while Su Wei left the 23rd floor to make some necessary preparations.

At [-]:[-], Xu Kaiwei's team from Goldman Sachs was ushered in the meeting room. They came from the UK in a hurry.

Two minutes later, Fang Zhuo and Zhang Hongli shook hands, and the Deutsche Bank team sat across from Goldman Sachs.

At ten o'clock exactly, Xiong Xiaoge led the team from the reception room to the meeting room, all of them looked solemn. This group of people had already been reprimanded by Xiong Xiaoge to strictly prevent the atmosphere of joking.

Fang Zhuo sat alone in the main seat, and Yi Ke's assistant just poured tea for everyone and left the conference room.

In this way, there are nearly 20 people sitting in the conference room, but Yike's conference room is very large, and no matter how many people come, it can sit down.

Another 5 minutes passed, Fang Zhuo, President of Bingxin CSMC, broke the dull silence: "Connor hasn't come yet, DCM is late."

Duang!

The door was pushed open and hit the wall.

Connor led his men to arrive.

DCM has the most people, with a total of ten people connected to Connor.

Fang Zhuo heard the sound and looked it over, it was okay, they were all gentle and gentle, nothing was stronger.

At this time, Su Wei also walked in, sat next to Fang Zhuo, gave the boss a look, and it was done.

Seeing that the DCM was seated, Fang Zhuo said calmly: "It's enough that the directors are here, everyone else should go out."

As soon as the words came out.

Several people from IDG immediately stood up and prepared to return to the reception room. Seeing this, Goldman Sachs also got up, Deutsche Bank was a little commotion, and DCM fell into hesitation.

Xiong Xiaoge glared sideways, IDG saw the president's eyes and quickly sat back.

Goldman Sachs also stopped, and Deutsche Bank and DCM looked at their presidents.

Fang Zhuo did not urge.

Xu Kaiwei waved his hand, and the Goldman Sachs team left the meeting room.

Zhang Hongli also nodded slightly, and the people from Deutsche Bank got up and followed them out.

Only then did Xiong Xiaoge give his subordinates a look, and the IDG team got up for the second time and walked out of the conference room.

Unmoved, Connor glanced at Su Wei beside Fang Zhuo, and said calmly, "Why is this guy still here?"

Fang Zhuo said calmly: "She represents Luzhou State Investment, Director Wu Hongquan can't keep up."

Even Xu Kaiwei, who is far away in the UK, has come, so Wu Hongquan can't come?
Just an excuse.

Luzhou SDIC is undoubtedly on Fang Zhuo's side.

Connor hummed lightly, and said to the nine members of DCM, "You guys go out."

Nine gentle and high-level talents got up and walked out of the conference room. It was strange in the process from the conference room to the reception room. The employees of the Yike Group in white shirts were so majestic, they looked like basketball players.

At 23:[-], there were only six people left in the meeting room of Hang Lung [-].

At this time, Connor questioned again: "No! She represents Luzhou State Investment? She was there when I came last time. She is an employee of Yike, right?"

Fang Zhuo nodded: "This is Su Wei, the vice president of Yike. She was entrusted by Luzhou State Investment, and today she is the plenipotentiary representative there to participate in the ice core board meeting."

Connor couldn't let go: "Where's the power of attorney?"

Fang Zhuo turned to Su Wei and said, "Write a power of attorney and show it to him."

Su Wei got up, she could write a copy and have it faxed by Luzhou State Investment.

Connor said angrily, "You!"

Xu Kaiwei sat on the plane all night, and came out tired to smooth things over: "Okay, is it interesting? Today we are going to discuss the development of ice cores."

Connor was no longer obsessed with the power of attorney, but he wasn't trying to save face either.

He even stood up and reprimanded Xu Kaiwei: "What happened to you before? Join forces and let us DCM invest?"

Xu Kaiwei glanced at Zhang Hongli of Deutsche Bank, and Connor said it with such certainty, it can only be that this person is relieved.

Connor continued to rage: "It's a good game! You cheated our DCM, and you Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, and IDG escaped?!"

"But in just one or two months, you are all eager to tie the rope around your neck?"

"You tie me, I tie him, he strangles you, take care, see what happens now!"

He raised his right hand and pointed at Fang Zhuo whose face remained unchanged: "It's not all cheap Fang Zhuo!"

The expressions of Xu Kaiwei and Zhang Hongli are a bit subtle, this matter, this matter...

Alas, there is no reason to go.

Connor continued to spray: "Fang Zhuo, what do you think you want to promote the investment progress so actively?"

Fang Zhuo explained: "Of course the project should be implemented as soon as possible, Connor, some facts don't need conspiracy theories."

Connor pressed, "Then what do you want to do by recruiting Xiong Xiaoge to collude with Goldman Sachs and Deutsche Bank?"

Fang Zhuo said calmly: "Is it so strange to let a family invest first?"

He asked back: "Connor, tell me, Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, IDG, which one of them invested less money than you?"

Connor was taken aback, looked around, and raised his voice: "Yes, which one of you is not trapped? Just sitting here, didn't you bring your mouth today?"

Zhang Hongli didn't say a word, he had a rather stubborn personality, and wanted to hear other people's opinions.

Xu Kaiwei pondered, Goldman Sachs is different from other companies, and in the end it must be the one with the least losses.

Xiong Xiaoge looked at this scene in the conference room, and suddenly felt a little bit embarrassed. Such a familiar scene was vaguely like his lost youth.

"Connor, you are so excited. Why do you think everyone is sitting here calmly?" Fang Zhuo finally stood up and looked around, "A real investor will not be angry because of a little twist."

He also emphasized: "Besides, did Yi Ke invest less money than you? If you were hit, I, Yi Ke, suffered the most losses. I'm not in a hurry. Why are you in a hurry?"

Connor had a phone call with Zhang Hongli from Deutsche Bank this morning, and he was informed of the tacit understanding of the previous investment meeting, intentionally or unintentionally.

Therefore, he was shocked and angry, and considering that SMIC was sued by TSMC, most of the emotions shown today are true.

DCM has a quick review of TSMC's hand, which is basically a negative overall.

SMIC is now facing a listing. If it does not go public, it will die, and once it goes public, it will lose blood. This will inevitably affect the confidence of the capital market in China's semiconductor industry.

Not to mention this kind of confidence, it turns the medium-term plan directly into a long-term lock-in. In short, who will invest in the next wave of financing?

If Bingxin wants to develop, this round of financing alone is definitely not enough. It is difficult to find international capital to take over the second round of financing under the background of SMIC's predicament. The old way to Huaxia tried.

The proportion of state-owned assets has increased, and the difficulty of international equipment procurement has also increased immediately.

This is an extremely real neck-stuck problem.

In addition to capital market and financial considerations, the main part of Bingxin's current technical team is still Qiu Ciyun and others from SMIC, and Qiu Ciyun was a senior director of TSMC before going to SMIC.

The core suffers, can the ice core run away?

TSMC did not tell SMIC sooner or later, and just picked the node before it went public. Isn't this fattening the pig before killing it?
If the ice core continues the technology of the core, will there be such risks in the future?

If it doesn't continue, how can it develop so quickly?
The technological changes in the semiconductor industry are quite rapid. If you can't develop like SMIC, why bother to choose such a project to invest in?

As for other domestic policy support and support, they are not the main factors for the success of the project. They can only be icing on the cake and cannot be used as timely aid. Otherwise, Huajing and Huahong would not be in the current situation.

Now, looking at a series of things, Connor even suspects that Fang Zhuo, through Qiu Ciyun, the senior director of the front office, knew of the prosecution action there in advance, so he urgently built such a project as Ice Core.

"Fang Zhuo, SMIC is facing a serious situation, and I don't think it's a good idea to develop a fab project at this point in time." Connor said in a deep voice, "Reining in the precipice and stopping losses in time is what we should do now. "

Fang Zhuo raised his eyebrows, and smiled for the first time since entering the conference room: "Are you kidding? International equipment purchase contracts, land use contracts in Luzhou, and support policies from the Ministry. Can it be stopped?"

"Is your DCM planning to give up the domestic market?"

"Or, you, Connor, are planning to resign from the position in charge of this side."

Fang Zhuo turned to sneer: "Didn't you bring legal affairs today? Didn't you read the contract before coming here? What are you wishful thinking?"

Connor earnestly said: "Why bother? Do you know how TSMC sued SMIC?"

"They submitted a lot of evidence in favor of TSMC in the United States!"

"They're asking for $10 billion in damages!"

"This is definitely a chain reaction to SMIC, not just a listing effect!"

"In this case, cutting the meat is the best choice. Fang Zhuo, whether it's the top or the place, if you are worried about the impact of these factors on your domestic company, I can come forward to bear the bad name, and I can mediate."

Evidence + US$10 billion compensation, this is the latest confirmed situation.

From all aspects, it is difficult for SMIC to come back in this matter.

Xu Kaiwei and Zhang Hongli looked at the two standing presidents, while Xiong Xiaoge didn't move, just frowned.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Fang Zhuo suddenly laughed: "You mediate? You mediate?"

"Mr. Connor, President Connor, where do you think this is?"

"Come on, which leader do you know, whose phone number is in your mobile phone, give me a mediation plan today, and we will continue to talk."

"There is no plan, and you don't want to talk about it, then don't disturb our Bingxin meeting of the board of directors."

Fang Zhuo sat down again, took a picture of his mobile phone on the conference table, raised his head slightly, and stared at Connor.

Connor was stunned for a moment, and after a few seconds he said, "What about Boss Zheng of Shencheng? I know him very well, and he has something to do with it."

Xiong Xiaoge turned his head in astonishment and glanced at Mr. Connor, the DCM partner from the United States. Good guy, who are you looking for to mediate?

Fang Zhuo was amused and laughed from the bottom of his heart.

Connor looked coldly at the young CEO who lost his composure.

Fang Zhuo stopped laughing: "Who are you talking about? Looking for him? That's my brother."

Connor:?
Fang Zhuo gave a funny look: "Then my dear brother."

"Connor, you have already wasted too much time, go out without talking, otherwise, I will send you out."

At this time, Su Wei, who had been holding the phone in her hand, pressed a dial button.

A few seconds later, the door of the meeting room was opened.

The people outside looked inwardly.

Connor sneered, that's all?

Xiong Xiaoge sighed and smoothed things over: "Connor, sit down, brainstorm and adapt to local conditions. We are here today to solve problems."

Connor sneered twice, and sat down.

Su Wei got up gently, waved her hand to the outside, and closed the door of the meeting room of Hang Lung 23.
