Reinventing the Millennium.

Chapter 667 The Incident (Two in One)

Rumors, trendsetters, competition, the situation has gradually become turbulent.

Fang Zhuo seriously suspected that an unknown party was involved, but he didn't know who the target was after.

Running for Mr. Rhubarb?
It's possible that if you act so domineeringly, you might offend others.

Running for tide merchants?

It is also possible that Rhubarb always ranks second on the wealth list, which is the most conspicuous one.

Run for yourself?

To smear your reputation, sow discord with tide merchants, allow yourself to bear their counterattacks, fish in troubled waters, and take it slowly?

Unlikely.

In other words, the success rate is not high.

At home at night, when Su Wei listened to Fang Zhuo's analysis, she couldn't help reminding: "Since the situation has become complicated, don't be too conceited."

"Actually, when I'm considering Mr. Da Huang, I've always judged him by two questions, but the same applies to myself." Fang Zhuo withdrew his restless hand, "It's not emotional or financial conceit."

Su Wei asked, "What is it?"

"Whether it will stand the investigation and whether there is a person to protect it." Fang Zhuo said lightly, "The company has always abided by the law and actively paid taxes. As for the latter...both public and private, a promising ice core is a good project. "

Yu Gong, Ice Core is second only to SMIC in the Mainland, and has the possibility to further move towards advanced process technology.

Yu private, precisely because there is such a public, it is also a talisman.

Can Bingxin live without Fang Zhuo?
At the very least, after some practical demonstrations with venture capitalists, everyone thinks that it is indispensable.

This irreplaceability has worked for quite a long time.

Fang Zhuo didn't intend to break the law, nor did he intend to do anything with the ice core, but it was indeed a solid amulet.

In comparison, Rhubarb's home appliance chain model has alternatives to choose from at any time.

Gome is down, there are Suning, Five Star, and Yongle.

The ice core is down, and there is still the core, but the core may not be optimistic in the foreseeable time.

Su Wei understood in seconds. She knew about the financing of the trip to the United States. From the perspective of leadership, state-owned semiconductor companies that have already been verified by examples are not feasible. Equipment and technology are the big problems that lie ahead. .

But even so, she still frowned slightly, and said: "Even so, it's better to be less troublesome, this kind of thing is unnecessary."

Fang Zhuo nodded.

In the next second, he said helplessly: "This is not my original intention. I want to fight head-to-head with Mr. Dahuang, win the battle of channels, and develop e-commerce."

He added: "However, Xiao Su, I think sometimes I will also fall into the cocoon of information. In the future, you must always remind me to be kind to others."

Su Wei glanced at it and nodded slightly, barely having half confidence.

"I reckon that Mr. Rhubarb will have problems sooner or later. Tomorrow morning, the media has been arranged. Whether it is a tide merchant or some leaders he has befriended, it can be regarded as a statement to them." Fang Zhuo said, "Weiwei, this Don't be conceited."

Su Wei couldn't help laughing and said: "If you say a word, you can remember it for a long time."

Fang Zhuo shrugged: "I am a man with a solid heart."

Su Wei was still a little worried about the administrative factors involved, and finally reminded again: "This time things are a bit weird, it's better to keep a low profile as much as possible."

Fang Zhuo complied.

In fact, he didn't worry much about the administration, but more about the troubles of not being able to figure out the cause and effect.

Regarding the second question asked by Rhubarb and himself, there is an unspoken solution.

It is not easy to be an industry, and no one knows how to speculate.

Qiu Lanhua is a small official, and Zheng Ge is not sure about the future. The relationship above is mostly due to industrial considerations. At most, he has carried the production line to invest there in the past two years.

Taking ten thousand steps back, even if you don't go there, you can pack your luggage and go back to Luzhou by yourself, you will still be at ease.

The world is so big, after all, there is only one hometown.

All these thoughts are only in my heart, and it all depends on whether there will be any changes beyond my imagination.

……

On the morning of August 23nd, Fang Zhuo accepted a joint interview with satellite TV and newspapers at Hang Lung [-].

Neither e-commerce nor semiconductors, but suggestions for foreign companies.

"Mr. Fang, as we all know, Yike has achieved success both at home and abroad, which is extremely difficult. What do you think of the development of foreign companies in our country?"

The question Fang Zhuo heard was instructed.

He replied: "Our country has entered the WTO in the past two years. Many well-known or unknown foreign companies are looking for opportunities for development. Some have achieved success, but many have also experienced setbacks."

"According to my experience as a business, first of all, it is very important for companies to abide by the law."

"If you don't abide by the law, don't mention whether you are successful or not. This is the lowest bottom line."

"Although I hate to say it, Yike complies with the Labor Law very well."

"One more thing, foreign companies have to pay attention to localization, and the development according to local conditions can be in everyone's interest."

Fang Zhuo talked about the law as the bottom line that enterprises cannot violate, and he also used practical examples to explain the provisions.

An interview abruptly turned into a law class.

But TV stations and newspapers have no objections, and it will be broadcast and published within a week.

Near noon, the reporter was sent away.

Fang Zhuo confirmed that the heads of TV Eight Heroes had arrived in Shanghai and were able to attend the afternoon meeting.

Eight heads, this is a lineup that was not assembled last time when promoting the panel production line, but their presence does not mean that things will go smoothly. On the contrary, some business heads are likely to be sold. With a small face, it is convenient to make a formal choice between Tesco and Gome.

Last month, Tesco encountered a total of 25 suppliers cut off supply, which is a big blow to the supply chain.

However, none of the eight well-known TV companies gave an answer under the pressure of Gome. this side.

For example, Changhong, Meiling, TCL.

These three companies would rather cancel their cooperation with Gome than break with Tesco.

Needless to say, Changhong and Meiling, Ni Runfeng of the former has already ignored the flood after stepping down, and Zhang Xuebin of the latter has just been recommended by Fang Zhuo to record entrepreneurship and financial programs on CCTV.

As for TCL, Li Dongsheng’s considerations are similar to those of Gree. He believes that channels like Gome have already become more customer-oriented. If things go on like this, the interests of the brand will not be effectively guaranteed.

Moreover, in the battle between Gome and Suning in Jinling in June, Huang Guangyu used it as a special machine because TCL did not send anyone to attend the supplier meeting.

Li Dongsheng did not announce his withdrawal from Gome, but he is seriously considering the possibility of building his own channels.

In this case, he regards e-buy, an online channel, as a natural ally.

Because of this, TCL sent a vice president to join us at the previous e-buy supplier meeting (huh), and it was indeed a rare well-known brand with a clear banner at that meeting.

At 01:30 in the afternoon, the head of TV has already arrived in the meeting room of Hang Lung 22.

Li Dongsheng was born earlier, but he found that Changhong's Ni Runfeng was in the conference room earlier than himself.

"Mr. Ni, you are really fast. You are worthy of being Mr. Fang's ally."

Li Dongsheng made a joke.

"Mr. Li, sit down. Mr. Fang is receiving friends upstairs. It's Wu Zheng from Sunshine Culture." Ni Runfeng stood up, with a half-owner spirit, and poured tea for Li Dongsheng himself.

Li Dongsheng quickly thanked him, and said with a smile, "I know Wu Zheng, but I haven't dealt with him before."

He paused, and said meaningfully: "Boss Fang really has a lot of friends."

Ni Runfeng is a person who is about to retire. He smiled and said directly: "Fang is always able to toss, but he often tosses and tosses the project. President Li's TCL will come along with him."

"Haha, yes, I am optimistic about Mr. Fang. I was worried about how to build our own channels. Mr. Fang's e-buy really helped TCL out of the siege." Li Dongsheng said half-truthfully.

Ni Runfeng just smiled.

Seeing that no one else came to the conference room, Li Dongsheng lowered his voice slightly and asked, "Mr. Ni, you and Mr. Fang are close friends. Is the recent Gome incident true or false?"

"Fake." Ni Runfeng said with certainty.

Li Dongsheng was surprised: "Really?"

"Fake." Ni Runfeng replied.

Li Dongsheng couldn't laugh or cry: "Is it true or not?"

"I've only just arrived in Shencheng, how do I know? However, based on my experience, nothing like what Mr. Fang said." Ni Runfeng took a sip of tea, "It seems a little too eager. "

Li Dongsheng pondered.

He actually tended to believe it, but what Mr. Ni said seemed to make sense.

Before continuing to communicate, Zhang Xuebin from Meiling and Zhang Ruimin from Haier walked into the meeting room talking and laughing.

The four greeted each other and sat down again.

As the time approached two o'clock, the remaining four companies also arrived one after another.

Everyone chatted and chatted, but Li Dongsheng keenly discovered that, just like himself, they all vaguely mentioned the conflict between Mr. Fang and Mr. Huang, like a cat in their hearts that kept scratching and scratching, but they just kept silent.

"Hey, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

"It's late, a friend came from the capital and said a few more words."

"Presidents, I will punish myself with three cups tonight."

Fang Zhuo hastily pushed open the door of the conference room, apologizing repeatedly.

The eight presidents all greeted each other.

"The last time I got together the TV Baxiong was for the LCD panel, which is a major industry event. This time, I am sincerely grateful for bothering everyone with a small matter for e-buy." Fang Zhuo sat down and opened the file, expressing his thanks first.

"Everyone heard it. Mr. Fang wants to thank you. Don't you have to drink three more glasses? There are six glasses in total tonight." Li Dongsheng said aloud.

Zhang Xuebin made a joke: "That won't work, because of BOE's affairs, I have to drink three cups for Mr. Fang."

"Hey, CEOs, if we continue talking like this, this meeting will be endless." Fang Zhuo reminded helplessly.

Both Li Dongsheng and Zhang Xuebin gestured for Mr. Fang to continue.

However, Fang Zhuo did not immediately start talking about E-buy. Instead, he briefly talked about the situation in BOE based on Zhang Xuebin's words just now.

The cooperation between BOE and Luzhou is very fast and the conditions are very favorable. If everything goes well and the speed of the East is used, it is expected that initial production capacity will be formed by the end of the year at the latest, which will further reduce the cost of panels.

Of course, domestic TV companies don't have to wait that long. The LCD Alliance headed by Samsung actively lowered prices, aiming to attack the Plasma Alliance, which benefited all companies.

As the cost of LCD TVs decreases, the demand for market penetration will further increase.

From this perspective, TV companies rely heavily on home appliance chain companies like Gome.

Still the same sentence, Gome is the first in the industry, this is a reality that cannot be ignored today.

When Fang Zhuo began to talk about the development and goals of e-buy, as well as his cooperation with brand owners, Zhou Houjian, the head of Hisense, put forward his opinions.

He made a lot of preparations for this trip. He first showed the cooperation data between his company and Gome, and then he said awkwardly: "Mr. Fang, it's not that I'm not optimistic about the development of E-buy, it's that Hisense is facing a critical transformation of LCD. It’s hard not to start with the business itself.”

"If e-buy really develops as fast as you said, I believe Hisense will also reconsider cooperation."

"Now Gome puts a lot of pressure on Hisense. On the 20th of last month, Mr. Huang called me personally. I didn't agree at the time, thinking that no matter what, I should meet and discuss this matter with Mr. Fang. "

Zhou Houjian put forward his own situation first, so as not to hurt the peace. The panel production line and its impact undoubtedly need to thank Mr. Fang, but it must come first when it comes to the interests of the company.

Fang Zhuo was not angry, and said sincerely: "Mr. Zhou, I have also considered this issue, including TCL, Changhong, and Meiling. We are all studying how to reduce the losses that Gome can bring."

The communication with TCL, Changhong, and Meiling was not placed in this meeting, but was communicated in advance.

Zhou Houjian signaled that he was listening.

"E-buy is not only online, but also has Dazhong electrical appliances. I won't say much about that."

"Gome is acting domineering, not just unfairly competing against Tesco...I am trying to cooperate with Suning."

Fang Zhuo threw out a piece of news that shocked the pupils of the other five heads.

Zhou Houjian asked in surprise, "Strive for it?"

"It hasn't been negotiated yet, so I don't want to guarantee it on this occasion." Fang Zhuo said, "You also know that Suning has also been pressured by Gome in terms of suppliers. I have a half fellowship, we can talk about it, unlike Mr. Huang and I, it is more difficult to talk about."

Zhou Houjian held a certain skeptical attitude.

As far as he knows, although Gome has the toughest attitude, Suning has not shown hostility, but the former is too conspicuous and mixed with personal conflicts with Mr. Fang.

"Half a month, I still need half a month, no matter whether it can be done or not, I will thank you all at that time." Fang Zhuo gave a time expectation.

He is willing to fight for these famous domestic brands, not only considering Suning, but also companies such as Yongle and Five Star, but if there is really no agreement, Changhong, Meiling, and TCL will deal with it first.

Zhou Houjian frowned and nodded.

He is willing to set aside half a month more time.

However, because of his older age, Zhou Houjian couldn't help but make a suggestion: "Mr. Fang, I don't know whether I should say this, but I think you and Mr. Huang can have a good talk."

"I don't think Gome and Tesco have reached a point where they have to compete."

Fang Zhuo sighed: "Yeah, I don't think so either. The problem is that President Huang's attitude is rather stubborn. I can only think of other ways."

Li Dongsheng, who was on the sidelines, found that everyone's eyes were a little strange. The other methods of this party were referring to the cooperation with Suning, or were they hinting at something.

The meeting continues.

Fang Zhuo did not use Gome and Suning, which are home appliance chains, as a comparison, but talked about the development speed of Internet companies with Taobao, which suppressed eBay.

Mr. Zhou said well, with the development of e-buy, Hisense is willing to cooperate again.

But although e-buy will not refuse, there must always be a key cooperation, and the icing on the cake is never as good as giving charcoal in the snow.

Market prospect, LCD development, competition situation.

Fang Zhuo controlled his discussion time allocation, but it was still evening soon after talking.

"Everyone, I have confidence in Tesco. I also believe that this model is more advanced than that of Gome. Sooner or later, it will win with the advanced nature of the model."

"So, don't believe any rumors or anything like that."

Fang Zhuo was about to end the meeting and took the initiative to clarify the situation.

Li Dongsheng listened to Mr. Fang's comparison of business models all afternoon, and felt more and more that Mr. Ni's words made sense. Fang was always willing to challenge the business model rather than being entangled in personal means.

"I don't believe it, I never believe it." Ni Runfeng laughed out loud.

"Rumors? What rumors?" Zhang Xuebin pretended to be puzzled.

Fang Zhuo got up with a smile, and was going to call all the heads to the hotel together.

But before he could speak, the mobile phones of the eight masters vibrated or rang one after another.

Several people looked at their mobile phones, and their expressions suddenly became a little strange.

Ni Runfeng glanced at Mr. Fang in confusion.

Li Dongsheng saw Mr. Fang's eyes sweeping over him, "coughed", and reported the news as objectively as possible: "Mr. Fang, um, Mr. Huang seems to have lost contact."

"Oh?" Fang Zhuo was slightly surprised but not too surprised.

This scene fell in the eyes of eight people with different interpretations.

The atmosphere in the conference room was a little weird.

Everyone looked at Mr. Fang, as if unconsciously waiting for an explanation.

Fang Zhuo was silent for a while, then sighed: "If we hadn't met at Qunyu Mountain, we would have met at Yaotai. What a pity, Mr. Huang."

Everyone was puzzled, what's the answer to Mr. Fang's sentence?
Fang Zhuo felt as if his teeth were being smashed, and a few seconds later he sighed for himself and the company: "E-buy is so guilty, Fang Zhuo is wronged!"

E-buy wants to defeat its opponents in an upright manner. If this is the case, it will be tainted out of thin air, and the industry may point out how to point E-buy when it is mentioned in the future.

As for himself, his reputation of not being rich at all was inexplicably painted over.

Everyone in the conference room felt even weirder when they heard this. They are all here, and you are still acting like this!
Fang Zhuo met the eyes of these people, kept silent again and again, and finally reiterated sincerely and helplessly: "It's not me, it's really not me."

Even though I am used to being sincere, this is still the most sincere time!
Considering his own cooperation, Li Dongsheng finally recovered from his surprise, astonishment, and shock, and said, "Okay, Mr. Fang, I believe you. I will not go home at night without getting drunk. Congratulations to e-buy."

Ni Runfeng also nodded and said, "Congratulations to Yigou, and congratulations to Mr. Fang."

Zhang Xuebin followed up and said: "Mr. Fang, those who are clear will be cleared by themselves, and it should be clear."

Dangfu Dabai, Congratulations to Mr. Fang for his innocence.

The remaining TV five heroes suppressed the emotions in their hearts, and did not congratulate or express their attitudes. This was the last persistence under inexplicable emotions.

Mr. Huang, let's get acquainted.

let's go.
