Reinventing the Millennium.

Chapter 954 Layoffs
Fang Zhuo, who returned to Shanghai from Spain, insisted on returning to the company first, adhering to the sense of responsibility of the head of Yike.

However, when he arrived at Hang Lung 23, the entire floor was busy, Su Wei was not on the 22nd floor, and even Secretary Liu Zonghong was on the other side of the city, so no one spoke for a while.

So, I didn't sleep on the plane, I didn't sleep in the car, I put the back of the chair back in the office, and fell asleep soundly.

"Hey, hey, Mr. Fang, Mr. Fang, don't sleep, get up and pay the money."

Fang Zhuo was dazed and woke up gently, the city neon lights were already outside the window, and Su Wei in front of him was smiling.

He subconsciously asked: "Yes, yes, which one wants it?"

Fang Zhuo woke up as soon as the voice came out, stretched his waist, got up from the chair, and said lazily: "It seems that I have slept for a while, I can ask for money, and make a report."

"Well, the report is on your desk, and the second one is, you didn't work at all when you came back." Su Wei pointed to the pile of documents, and smiled, "Everyone in the company is about to leave after get off work, so I asked outside, Everyone thought Mr. Fang was working overtime and thinking, who knew he was sleeping in the president's office alone."

She reached for the phone and took a look, only to find that it was still on mute.

"The landline didn't stop. I didn't expect a call to come in. It's the end of the year and everyone is busy with their own affairs." Fang Zhuo was also surprised that he could sleep for so long without being disturbed. You can go back to the company soon."

"It's not spacious enough here. We held a New Year's communication meeting for some suppliers in another place. You know that when there are too many people, there will be more problems." Su Wei poured a cup of tea, "I thought you would go home directly."

Fang Zhuo took two steps and moved his body: "At first, I wanted to read the documents, but when I arrived at Hang Lung 23, I felt like I was at home. It's not too late."

He took the tea handed over by Teacher Xiao Su, took a sip, and said, "What do you want to eat tonight? I invite you."

Su Wei raised her hand and looked at her watch: "It's [-]:[-] in the evening, and I have an online meeting at [-]:[-], President Fang, why don't you give orders to postpone this meeting?"

Fang Zhuo hesitated.

"Forget it, just eat something simple, and have a supper at night." Su Wei knew what kind of person this man was, and if she went on, she might also thank him for respecting her career.

Fang Zhuo nodded: "Alright, keep it simple, I will reward you when I go home tonight."

Su Wei glanced sideways.

Fang Zhuo suddenly felt a little restless, the office is like home, and there is still some time before the meeting...

Su Wei accurately read the meaning of the eyes, and asked quickly: "Did you gain a lot from this trip to Europe?"

Fang Zhuo considered the business of the meeting, and said with regret: "The harvest is not bad. The investment of Qimonda and Bingxin has made progress, and the Chamber of Commerce has also received an order of 100 billion. However, I took the time to go to Infineon looked at it, but it made me think a lot."

Su Wei took a sip of tea and knew it was related to semiconductors.

"Infineon is an IDM model, engaged in vertically integrated manufacturing, with circuit design, wafer manufacturing, packaging and testing, and can also invest in the consumer market. Its full-scale business does not pursue such advanced manufacturing processes. It relies on the automotive industry. It is also one of the top ten semiconductor companies in the world." Fang Zhuo said, "It is really enviable."

"It doesn't take much effort to be envious?" Su Wei smiled, "It's a bit like Samsung in the car industry?"

"It's impossible to be effortless. You also know that the top and bottom of the ice core are all based on the manufacturing process, and they also take the Taiwan record as the goal of catching up. I suddenly saw another successful company head-on, and I still feel very strange in my heart. Yes." Fang Zhuo explained.

Su Wei thought for a while: "It's impossible for the ice core to change the route now, and you are not willing to change it."

Fang Zhuo said calmly: "I just felt and thought for a while, and felt that its development has something to learn from. If the ice core or the core encounters a bottleneck, this is also a strategy."

"Do you want to bully someone else's core?" Su Wei asked.

"Even if I asked them to change, they didn't want to. Let's just chat." Fang Zhuo smiled, "This is the thought that was inspired by going out for a walk. Well, because of the financial crisis, Infineon's stock price has been falling. , it’s a good opportunity to start.”

Infineon's peak stock price has reached 200 euros, and last year's stock price fell to only a few euros.

Looking at the situation at the beginning of this year, it may even fall to 1 euro. This is not only dragged down by Qimonda, but also affected by the economic environment, but it will definitely usher in a rebound afterwards.

"Do you want to start with MIGA Fund?" Su Wei asked.

Fang Zhuo nodded: "Qimonda is bankrupt, and Infineon's stock price is at the bottom. I want Qimonda's patent, which is just a bridge for negotiation between Infineon and Qimonda's bankruptcy administrator. Get the patent sooner."

The bankruptcy administrator Dr. Michael's law firm has business dealings, and has acquired the obviously undervalued stocks of Infineon.

In this way, if the patent cannot be obtained as soon as possible, it may be that the ice core is not suitable for entering the DRAM field.

"When can you help e-buy with more planning, President Fang." Rao Su Wei couldn't help but feel a little sour.

"Let's buy e-commerce. It's a real fight. With hard power, I'm smart at best." Fang Zhuo said, "Domestic e-commerce can only fight for a way, any other way no."

Su Wei agrees with this point. Joyo has fallen, eBay has fallen, Dangdang has fallen, and Paipai is about to fall. This is evident from the intense competition in the market.

"Oh yes, the annual meeting will be in a few days. How is Liu Zonghong's arrangement?" Fang Zhuo remembered Weiwei's upcoming annual meeting.

"As expected of Mr. Fang's secretary, he does things very quickly." Su Wei praised her with a thumbs up.

Fang Zhuo nodded, Liu Zonghong is capable, and it seems a little inferior to stay by his side as a secretary.

There was a knock on the office door, and the assistant brought up the food from downstairs.

"I'm going to my office after eating. I have two meetings." Su Wei said.

Fang Zhuo responded: "Okay, I'll take a look at the report of Yike in China and wait for you to go back together."

Su Wei ate very quickly. After she finished eating, she saw Mr. Fang's unhurried state, so she said hello and went downstairs to the meeting.

There are indeed two meetings tonight, but the first meeting is about the discussion on the arrangement of the annual meeting, and the second is the internal business meeting of e-buy.

Previously, Su Wei was in charge of the annual meeting. Although she was assigned to Liu Zonghong by Mr. Fang before going abroad, but...she did so if she wanted to.

When the time came, the avatars in the online conference room lit up one by one.

Wang Yan from Sina, Xiong Xiaoge from IDG, Pan Ben from Yike Europe, Liu Qiangdong from Yike Huaxia, Zhou Xin from Medical Science... are all the heads of various companies or elected executive representatives.

Su Wei waited for a while, but did not see Bing Xin's profile picture lit up, and said: "Bing Xin must be busy there, I will communicate with you alone later, have you thought about your problems?"

"Aren't you really going to communicate with Boss Fang first? What if there is a sudden attack? What if the scene doesn't look good?" Wang Yan asked again.

"It's just a speech, it's just a question. After a new year, it's more interesting to talk about the future on the stage than singing and dancing?" Su Wei said disapprovingly, "I know him, and I won't be angry."

Liu Zonghong's microphone lights up, but there is no sound.

Mr. Fang will not be angry with you, but will he be angry with the little secretary...

"No problem, Fang is always a magnanimous person." Xiong Xiaoge also said, "I just ask him about investment, business and development can be generalized, and he can chat casually."

Both Mr. Su and Mr. Xiong said so, and the others had no objections.

Anyway, Mr. Fang is not happy, and Mr. Su can take the blame.

The secret meeting of the annual meeting was discussed, and such a group of people also felt that it would be better than singing and dancing.

……

In January 2009, Yike mobile phone was booming against the trend, but the chill in the global semiconductor industry spread to all aspects, and major manufacturers laid off employees for the winter.

Zheng Dexing is an engineer of Taiji. He graduated with a Ph.D. and has worked in the enterprise for ten years. The year before last, he was rated as an advanced backbone. However, last year, because his family members fell ill one after another, he had to devote all his energy to taking care of his wife and children, and he fell behind in business. .

However, he is confident in his ability and believes that he can make more contributions to Tai Ji in the new year.

However, on January 1, he was completely stunned by the layoff notice from the personnel department.

"I have been in the factory for ten years!" Zheng Dexing never expected that the layoffs would come to him. "The material research in charge is about to produce results!"

"The economic situation is not good, and the company has no other choice. Your performance this year is indeed at the end. There is no way." The personnel reiterated the situation very flatly.

"Then I, then I..." Zheng Dexing was speechless.

Do you want to talk about your own contributions day and night?Do you want to talk about your professional ability?Or do you want to say that you have received invitations from mainland companies but resolutely rejected them?

Zheng Dexing watched another colleague walk into the office, and he left in a daze, still feeling like a dream in his mind, his material research is not the most important, but it is also a bit important, right?

Is this how it got cut?

In previous years, there was also a so-called tail ratio, but there would never be direct layoffs.

A new president has been appointed this year, which...

Zheng Dexing suddenly remembered the words of the old president Zhang Zhongmo. He said personally that the ratio was not for layoffs, but for targeted enhancement of employees' ability and quality.

Is it so difficult for Taiji in this financial turmoil?

Zheng Dexing was full of thoughts along the way, took out his mobile phone several times and wanted to call the retired head, but gave up.

I really didn't do very well last year, so how can I tell Mr. Zhang?pleading?Let him not cut himself, but cut others?
Zheng Dexing couldn't do such a thing.

When he got home, he barely chatted with his family, then went into the study, smoked three cigarettes, opened the mailbox, and fell into thinking while looking at the rejected emails from headhunters.

Is the Mainland really worth going to?

Zheng Dexing didn't eat dinner. He thought about the past ten years and the reality of being laid off.

So bored until midnight, he still sent a short email to the hunter, asking if the invitation from the mainland was still valid.

I never thought that as soon as the email was sent here, there would be a reply there.

"Dr. Zheng, Bingxin's invitation is very sincere, and I can negotiate a price that satisfies you. If you need to resettle your family, it's not a problem. I can help communicate at any time, and I am available 24 hours a day."

Zheng Dexing used emails to understand some problems continuously, and he felt a little more at ease, at least there is a place to go.

Before he knew it, Zheng Dexing quickly made a decision overnight.

However, when he recalled the past ten years between himself and Tai Ji, he still couldn't help thinking of a ceremonial end.

Zheng Dexing made a cup of coffee and did not use his mobile phone or e-mail. Instead, he wrote a sincere letter by hand, reviewing his career and expressing his gratitude to Tai Ji for his growth.

At the end, he also expressed his admiration for Chairman Zhang Zhongmou, wishing the chairman good health and wishing Taiji a better future.

Zheng Dexing carefully put the handwritten letter into an envelope and affixed a stamp, and then mailed it to Chairman Zhang Zhongmo's home address in Baodao.

Perhaps, Mr. Zhang will never see this letter, but for him, this is the end.

Zheng Dexing sat at home for another half day, and after a short sleep of two hours, he went to the company in the afternoon to perform formal resignation procedures.

He has already made up his mind that this year he will take his family to Xiangjiang to celebrate the New Year, talk about the treatment of working in the Mainland, and then buy a Mars mobile phone.

It can be regarded as supporting your own business.

Zheng Dexing was a little helpless and lost, and he also had some assumptions about his future work and life. He had to see Liang Mengsong's face again.

Layoff procedures are officially implemented.

Zheng Dexing became a vagrant, but fortunately, his family has always supported him in his career, which can somewhat restore the depression he felt a few years ago.

On January 1, Dr. Zheng Dexing officially boarded the plane to Xiangjiang, where he will meet with the executives of Bingxin to discuss the remuneration and resettlement of his family.

That is, he had just sat down when the passengers passing by suddenly stopped.

"Dr. Zheng, you are..."

"Group Leader Liu, you, you too..."

The two colleagues who were not familiar with each other quickly warmed up.

Zheng Dexing only found out during the communication that the layoffs caused a mess in the company, and the standards were not so transparent. Some people chose to leave altogether, while others were prepared to fight to the end.

Both of them belonged to the family who took the money and left to find another family.

"Oh, I don't know if Mr. Zhang knows about this situation?" Zheng Dexing still couldn't help sighing.

"Without Mr. Zhang's acquiescence, how could Cai Lixing do this? I heard that Mr. Zhang is in the United States. He has retired and is enjoying his old age." Team leader Liu has no special affection for Taiwan Ji, "I think Cai Lixing will have to make trouble sooner or later. .”

Zheng Dexing remained silent. He had never cared about or understood power matters, but felt that this layoff seemed unsafe.

Unfortunately, Mr. Zhang has retired.

Zheng Dexing looked at the porthole, forget it, it's over, Liang Mengsong can stay there, and it won't be too bad if he thinks about it.
