Reinventing the Millennium.

Chapter 425 I'll Arrange (Two in One)

Yike Roadshow achieved greater success than Xiangjiang in the second leg of the Singapore roadshow.

At the last stop, Fang Zhuo was recognized and appreciated.

At this station, he was simply sought after.

At the end of the meeting, not only an investor came to take a group photo, but Fang Zhuo almost froze with laughter while exchanging contact information.

With such a grand occasion, people from Goldman Sachs naturally notified Shen Nanpeng of Ctrip, who was closely following Yike's listing journey.

"What? The response is good again?"

"All-time good?"

"What's so good about it?"

Shen Nanpeng was quite shocked when he received a call from Singapore. Not long ago, his own company Ctrip went public in Hong Kong, Singapore, and the United States. Since it is also cooperating with Goldman Sachs, I am afraid that the investors notified are not too many. .

He felt that his roadshow was not bad, and the team at Goldman Sachs also thought the effect was not bad.

In the end, why did Yike's Fang Zhuo have such an unprecedented response?
Is it because Fang Zhuo is good-looking?

Just because Fang Zhuo can speak well?

This is not someone else, but a group of investors!

Shen Nanpeng's curiosity was completely aroused, and he issued a strong request, wanting to know more details.

People at Goldman Sachs felt that the content could be shared and that the scene was something to be proud of, so they sorted out some content and sent it to Shen Nanpeng, who is also a partner.

Among them is the video that was played on the big screen in the banquet hall.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, Shen Nanpeng saw the triple watermarked video in his study, and saw the warning issued by the highly sought-after Mr. Fang against Sony two years ago.

"Win in China"?
Shen Nanpeng has heard of the name of this program, but he was not invited, and he has been concentrating on his work, let alone searching for videos from two years ago.

So, he was really shocked.

——There is not much time left for Sony.

What kind of person can have such a keen eye to judge the development of an enterprise?
This party really lives up to its reputation!

No wonder the money I invested was trapped!

Capable people will shine in any field!
The first time Shen Nanpeng heard that the Xiangjiang road show was well received, he planned to buy some Yike stocks. This time he saw the video and was shocked.

He strengthened his determination to buy more Yike stocks as a profit hedge.

The next day, when Ctrip held a meeting, Shen Nanpeng chatted about Yike with emotion, how to stick to the right judgment, and the road ahead for Ctrip.

He also shared the video specifically, so that all the managers could follow Mr. Fang's vision, attitude, and persistence.

What I said to Sony two years ago was not taken seriously at the time. Even CCTV [-] was only used as a small selling point to ridicule, but it really came true.

As a small company challenging the giants, Yike is infinitely close to going public, but Sony is in great trouble.

The comparison of this situation also shocked the top management of Ctrip.

Within two days, the domestic sales-to-export video was converted to domestic sales again, and the content it showed impressed everyone who saw it.

The most important thing is that Japan, where Sony is located, gave Fang Zhuo a high evaluation, and Singapore TV stations also rushed to discuss it, which deeply hit the hearts of viewers like the watermark of the video.

In the end, the video got into the hands of Xiong Xiaoge and he pushed it to CCTV producer Hu Meng.

Hu Meng brought this matter to the TV station to talk about it, and asked Japanese reporters to search the situation, and found that Fang Zhuo, who had never been to Japan, had indeed gained some reputation there with many programs.

Domestic sales→export→domestic sales, with the video certified by Japan and Singapore and with picture-in-picture, re-appeared on the CCTV program, which was broadcast as an anecdote.

At this moment, Mr. Fang's vision, certified by the Japanese, spread throughout the country.

……

The IPO roadshow is over.

Fang Zhuo did not leave Singapore, but asked Goldman Sachs to arrange the itinerary, delaying the trip to the United States for two days.

Then, he found the fund manager he met on the road show, and entrusted his relationship with him, and visited a semiconductor company in Singapore.

Singapore is a major semiconductor city in the world and a bridgehead in Asia, with a very mature industrial ecological environment.

Fang Zhuo thought about coming, so he learned from it.

In two days, accompanied by Gao Ruixiang of Panshi Fund, he visited Chartered Semiconductor, SSMC, GlobalFoundries and other well-known semiconductor companies in the industry, and saw a complete semiconductor industry chain.

IC design companies, silicon wafer factories, special wafer factories, packaging and testing companies, and peripheral companies responsible for substrate materials, manufacturing equipment, photomasks, etc., Singapore's vigorously developed semiconductor industry is quite complete.

This is unmatched in the current domestic.

The foundry link such as ice core processing is only one of them, and there are few decent companies in the country for raw materials, equipment and other links.

However, why did Singapore fall behind in semiconductors later?

Fang Zhuo’s visit was not in vain. He contacted headhunters in China who were digging people for ice cores. Taking advantage of the opportunity, he met several engineers at night, and successfully finalized their job-hopping with his personal charm and some small benefits.

According to the headhunters, the difficulty of poaching people in Singapore is almost the lowest in Asia, while it is just the opposite in Baodao.

Perhaps, the problem of talent will be one of the reasons for the decline of Singapore Semiconductor.

The bigger reason may be common problems such as intensified international competition, Singapore's financial reform, and industrial hollowing out.

Fang Zhuo had guesses and judgments in his mind, and finally ended his trip to Singapore with satisfaction. He sold stocks, inspected semiconductors, made a few friends, and hired a few engineers. It was quite satisfactory.

The president of Yike boarded the passenger plane from Singapore to New York, which is a long journey of 19 hours.

"Boss Fang, if you don't move, everyone else will die of anxiety."

Chen Yaohui from Goldman Sachs sat next to Mr. Fang, and finally heaved a sigh of relief after boarding the plane.

"Who's in a hurry? Didn't the United States agree to postpone it?" Fang Zhuo was a little surprised.

Chen Yaohui slipped his tongue. Yesterday he had a call with Shen Nanpeng from Ctrip, and the other party kept asking Mr. Fang about the roadshow arrangement, which was more urgent than Yike's people.

"It's someone from our team. There is a project that I have worked on for a long time in Singapore. This time I can't stay for two or three days."

Fang Zhuo nodded knowingly: "Oh, who is it? You call him over, and I will give you lessons. It's okay if you can't sit still at work. It just so happens that the flight time is so long, so you can be idle if you are idle."

Why are you such a good teacher, CEO...

Chen Yaohui smiled and shook his head: "Don't tell me, Mr. Fang, I'm afraid you will abduct our people while you're in class."

Fang Zhuo let out a "huh" and said, "Mr. Chen, don't worry, I don't like ordinary people."

In the past two days, Chen Yaohui knew that Mr. Fang was on the way to recruit people in Singapore, and he admired his character, so he talked about the situation in China: "Mr. Fang, I don't know who sent your Japanese video back to China. It has been reported in China, saying that you Good eyesight."

"Who else could it be? It's not your Goldman Sachs, or our Yike. It can't be a fund manager in Singapore." Fang Zhuo said calmly, "Doesn't anyone give negative comments?"

"This..." Chen Yaohui was a little confused, but he really didn't pay attention to this.

"Mr. Chen, have you considered changing your working environment?" Fang Zhuo turned the page without worrying about the issues he didn't care about.

"This..." Chen Yaohui's thinking jumped, but he was still a little confused.

"Goldman Sachs' team in China is investing and listing domestic companies. In fact, as long as you have money to invest, you may get more space to use it outside the framework of Goldman Sachs." Fang Zhuo gave an example, "IDG has a vice president who jumped to Yike. , I don’t know if you recognize him or not, his name is Pan Ben, he is now in charge of part of our Yike’s work in the United States, he is very capable, and his salary has also increased a lot.”

Fang Zhuo shook the magazine with his left hand, and patted Chen Huiyao's arm with his right hand, showing a charming smile: "If Mr. Chen has any ideas about this, I welcome you to talk to me at any time."

Chen Yaohui realized that Mr. Fang looked down on ordinary people, but he still recognized his work very much!

This is from Mr. Fang's poaching, what's the matter with being a little flattered?

Chen Yaohui looked at Boss Fang who started to lie down and read magazines, and knew that this seemed to be Boss Fang, but in fact he was a rich man who was about to rise sharply in the domestic Forbes list.

Yike's future is very bright, Mr. Fang is very kind, and Yike's team gets along very well along the way...

Chen Yaohui stopped his thoughts in time and began to think about the final road show in the United States.

The United States is the last and most important part of Yike Roadshow.

Yike is listed on NASDAQ, and it is more facing public investors and investment institutions in the United States. Therefore, Goldman Sachs attaches great importance to the arrangement of Yike after going to the United States.

Therefore, Chen Yaohui's authority to lead the team at Goldman Sachs will end in the United States, and he will be replaced by a vice president with higher authority there, and he will instead provide the necessary communication and support.

On this journey from Xiangjiang to Singapore, Chen Huiyao has already witnessed Mr. Fang's behavior style, and grasped the strong initiative inside from his on-the-spot response, sharp vision, and free response.

Therefore, when the flight was gradually approaching New York, Chen Yaohui carefully made the necessary reminders.

"Mr. Fang, Peter, the senior vice president of Goldman Sachs in New York who is in charge of Yike's listing, will arrange suitable institutions, screen public investors, and arrange media interviews."

"Yike has now passed the silence period for listing, and we can start more media to expose the company. I will help communicate in this aspect of the interview, but, Mr. Fang, you must not make misleading words when answering questions, otherwise it will be easy problem appear."

Fang Zhuo smiled: "Okay, don't worry, I have arrangements, and I have already figured out what this road show is all about."

Chen Yaohui thumped in his heart, don't make any arrangements, it will be fine as long as it ends smoothly...

Fang Zhuo said again: "First New York, then San Francisco, and then Los Angeles. This is more troublesome than before, and it is hard work for everyone. Although the road show is not over yet, on behalf of Yi Ke, I would like to thank our Goldman Sachs team in China."

Chen Yaohui quickly said: "Where is it, Mr. Fang, I am very honored to cooperate with Yike's listing work this time. I am very happy to see another Chinese company listed on NASDAQ."

Fang Zhuo nodded slightly, Xiao Chen's work attitude was quite down-to-earth along the way.

At the end of the 19-hour air journey, the passenger plane landed at Kennedy International Airport in New York.

Goldman Sachs has arranged a special car to pick him up at the airport, and has also arranged for a hotel to stay.

It's just that the special car that came to pick up people made the team members squeezed a little before they sat down.

"It's not doing enough work."

Sitting in the car, Fang Zhuo said to Chen Yaohui a little displeased.

From frugality to luxury is easy, from luxury to frugality.

Xiangjiang has Yike’s own shareholder Huanyu Capital to participate in the reception arrangement, and Singapore is highly sought after like a star treatment. When it comes to New York, there is no room for people. Ask again, the hotel is certainly a five-star hotel, and the location is a bit out of the way.

"President Fang, I'll coordinate." Chen Yaohui immediately expressed his opinion.

"Yike's headquarters in the United States is in New York, and you can still feel wronged when you arrive in New York." Fang Zhuo waved his hand, "Don't coordinate, I will arrange it."

Seeing Mr. Fang's firm expression, Chen Yaohui stopped making calls. In fact, Goldman Sachs is okay, but Singapore is really enthusiastic, and the comparison between the two is almost meaningless.

He thought for a while, and then sent a text message to his colleague here.

Hey, just like Mr. Fang said in Singapore, different departments of big companies are somewhat awkward, and multinational departments like Goldman Sachs have a chain of contempt. It is useful to speak here, but not so useful.

"Oh yes, what's Peter's personality like, is he easy to get along with?"

Fang Zhuo had already put down his phone and remembered to ask again.

"I've only met him twice, and his personality is still kind." Chen Yaohui replied.

Fang Zhuo nodded, and pressed his phone again.

A few minutes later, he said to Chen Yaohui: "The hotel has changed, go directly to Mandarin Oriental, stop at Clarington in the middle, and change cars."

Mandarin Oriental New York, almost the most luxurious and chic hotel in the city, is located on the top floor of Time Warner Center, overlooking the Hudson River, Central Park and the New York skyline, with luxurious facilities and high-quality services.

Chen Yaohui was a little bit dumbfounded, not that he couldn't use it, but that the style of New York in the past in China was relatively simple, and Mr. Fang seemed much more aggressive.

The pick-up fleet changes destinations.

About four and ten minutes later, the convoy stopped in Clexington, where there was already a row of Rolls-Royces waiting quietly.

"Mr. Fang is here."

"Hello, Mr. Fang."

When Chen Yaohui heard such a title, he saw Mr. Fang nodded to the yellow-skinned people who welcomed him, and then followed him into the first Rolls-Royce.

Before he could ask if these cars were arranged by Yi Ke, he heard Mr. Fang start calling.

"Mr. Zhang, I'm in New York. I'm not familiar with the place. Hurry up and ask your boss from Deutsche Bank to give us a platform. I was so nervous during the road show."

"Old Xiong, have you booked a flight ticket? Don't be so angry, I've already arrived in New York, let the boss of IDG come to support me, and then start a relationship, call friends and find an organization."

"Connor, Connor, I'm in New York, the road show is very important, let the president and vice president of your DCM show up, I hope you will give me some face."

After several phone calls, Fang Zhuo got a satisfactory response. For the road show, he had to find someone to cheer him on, so that investors could have an accurate judgment.

Buy it or not, buy it or not, whether you buy it or not, Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, DCM, IDG, etc. are all standing behind me.
