Reinventing the Millennium

Chapter 654 Power Alternation (Two in One)

Fang Zhuo was very pleased with the fact that BOE settled in Luzhou.

He remembered that he had talked with Mr. Wang Dongsheng about choosing a city from an objective point of view. Even so, Luzhou was still the final choice, which shows that the enthusiastic group is still full of enthusiasm.

Although the provincial government wants to use money from me, but I also get money from Goldman Sachs and Deutsche Bank. Who hasn't had a difficult time?
The friendship of hometown, to relieve (shū) difficulties and difficulties, I will never hesitate to do so.

Fang Zhuo continued to stay in New York for three days. On the one hand, he had a more detailed understanding of the development of the American market. On the other hand, he also clarified the status of the technology department established by Yike in Silicon Valley. This is a new department involved in the development of the Android system. Domestic technical teams share information.

By the first weekend in July, Fang Zhuo flew from New York to Idaho to attend the Sun Valley summit that Stringer had invited earlier.

This is a summer party that invites influential guests from different industries and fields. It requires all guests not to carry electronic devices to avoid recording, and also refuses any media visits.

To put it bluntly, a gathering of big shots.

Fang Zhuo met Microsoft's Gates here, and invited many bigwigs including him to try his own toy website - the Quora question-and-answer community.

In addition, he also exchanged some views with some politically influential MPs.

However, this trip is mainly to witness Stringer's first attendance at the meeting as Sony's parent, and communicate with Gates on technical standards.

The conversation between Stringer and Gates was not in the sight of everyone, but they talked for a long time in a separate room.

Judging from the performance of the two walking out of the room, Gates was quite out of breath, Stringer also frowned, and their conversation basically collapsed.

Fang Zhuo is an external director of Sony, and it was inevitable that he chatted with Stringer in the evening, and the latter's answer verified the guess during the day.

"Microsoft is unwilling to support our Blu-ray DVD as the next-generation DVD standard format."

"Gates insisted on delivering all kinds of entertainment content to the devices in the home with software as the core."

"He can't stop me."

Stringer was still annoyed talking about it.

"Then pay attention to Microsoft's actions." Fang Zhuo reminded slightly, "Since you can't reach a consensus, Gates will never hesitate in his actions."

Stringer agrees with this judgment.

But he didn't worry too much, just a little indignant: "Gates thought that Sony's current situation is not good, so he thought he could force me to make concessions, but Universal, Fox, Warner, Paramount, Samsung, Sharp, Apple, Yike, Even Microsoft's largest customers, Dell and HP, are behind us."

"Sony's Blu-ray DVD has achieved broad support."

"Gates and Intel think they have the power to change Toshiba's HD-DVD weakness, so let them try this futile effort."

Stringer, the new parent of Sony, has done a lot of work after returning to the United States, aiming to establish a pan-Blu-ray DVD alliance, and the results have been very good.

He is confident to win this battle that reflects his own value.

Listening to the information, Fang Zhuo also felt that winning was possible. The entertainment giant would certainly be willing to support Sony Blu-ray, which has stricter anti-theft measures. However, whether a victory in a battle can make Sony's strategic recovery is questionable.

Even though Microsoft and Intel have few allies, these two have a strong influence.

Both Stringer and Sony may be involved in a lot of energy.

Fang Zhuo didn’t say this kind of judgment, and the fire of Stringer’s appointment will inevitably be driven by his will. If Sony doesn’t see the recovery effect, it will join hands with Yike to invest in the shares of Android Company. Nice gift.

It's okay for the old jazz to fail in his strategy, he's prepared for him.

Quora has gained a lot of powerful users, and correspondingly, it has gradually gained some fame. After all, many people this time are the focus of media attention.

On July 7, Fang Zhuo returned to New York to host the last Yike meeting before returning to China.

What made him a little dumbfounded was that Xiao Yu had said earlier that she would no longer keep the president's office, but in the end she really moved her own office to the next door.

After the meeting, Fang Zhuo sat in Xiaoyu's vice president's office and asked her: "You occupy my office, I have to have a place when I come, and I can use your room if I have anything to do. What do you say? Do you want to stay away from me or come closer?"

Yu Hong tried her best to reject the bewitching from Boss Fang, and didn't answer at all.

"Okay, since you are still in Yike, the normal work and communication between us will not be affected. When the old bear comes, I will go to the airport with him." Fang Zhuo said.

"What else does Mr. Fang have to explain?" Yu Hong asked from a work perspective.

"I've said everything I need to say." Fang Zhuo glanced at the time, thought for a while, got up and said, "Mr. Yu is the co-founder of Yike, I'll write a picture for you before I leave."

Yu Hong curled her lips: "Who cares?"

While talking, Xiong Xiaoge arrived at the office.

Seeing Mr. Fang's posture, he smiled and put the coke he bought on the table: "Mr. Fang is in a good mood today. Come, I know you have the habit of drinking Coke. I bought a bottle when I came up."

Yu Hong raised her eyebrows, but she didn't know that this man also liked to drink Coke.

Fang Zhuo ignored the old bear and concentrated on studying ink.

Xiong Xiaoge wandered around, casually chatting with Mr. Yu about Mr. Fang's status which was rare last time.

"Shut up, you, and see if my writing has deteriorated?" Fang Zhuo couldn't help calling the old bear to stop, and then splashed ink, writing five characters in one book.

--Co-founder.

Xiong Xiaoge looked at it from the side, and nodded again and again: "Mr. Fang's word is really beautiful. It's for Mr. Yu. It's fine to frame it properly."

Yu Hong said disdainfully, "Shall I frame his writing?"

Fang Zhuo happily put down his pen and commented on his handwriting: "It's still rusty, it needs to be practiced."

"Boss Yu? Then I'll take it away. I'll divide it into two pieces and frame the last three words and put them in my office." Xiong Xiaoge said as he was about to reach for the words.

"Mr. Xiong, I found that you and Mr. Fang have known each other for a long time. It's true that people who are close to ink are dark." Yu Hong criticized.

Xiong Xiaoge glanced at Mr. Fang, then at the words, and then at Mr. Yu, and suddenly felt that the atmosphere was not what he imagined.

"President Yu is annoyed that I interrupted her to review the documents." Fang Zhuo said, "Let's go, let's go to the airport."

"Mr. Xiong, I won't send you off." Yu Hong paused, but said, "Mr. Fang, safe and sound."

Xiong Xiaoge muttered: "I also think of Luo Ping'an..."

The two presidents left the office and rushed to the international airport with their assistants.

Yu Hong looked at the document in the office for a while, stared at the words again, got up angrily, crumpled the rice paper into a ball, and threw it into the trash can.

Afterwards, she used the intercom to call the secretary: "The trash can and the ink, paper and inkstone have all been cleaned up."

The secretary froze for a moment, and was about to do things in silence.

Seeing that she was about to leave the office, Yu Hong called to the secretary again: "There is a picture in the trash can, scan it and print it on a business card."

The secretary was stunned again, but still didn't say anything.

Yu Hong sat back in the office that belonged to the president and continued to review the documents.

People are shameless, but words are innocent.

……

The transoceanic flight from New York to Shanghai.

Xiong Xiaoge played with the gift Mr. Fang gave him, Yike's new Mp4 product.

He studied the function for a while, and asked casually, "Mr. Fang, do you know about the retirement of the boss of the station recorder?"

"Yes." Fang Zhuo responded, "I know."

Just at the beginning of this month, Zhang Zhongmou of Tai Ji officially announced his retirement and handed over the CEO position to his successor Cai Lixing.

This seems to mean that Taiji has started the alternation of rights.

Because Jiang Shangyi, vice president of research and development, is also 60 years old, and it is said that retirement plans are also on the agenda.

According to the current situation of Taiji, it is generally believed that Liang Mengsong or Sun Yuancheng will take over Jiang Shangyi's post, both of whom have very strong technical capabilities.

Fang Zhuo got the news of Zhang Zhongmou immediately, but he knew that his retirement was only temporary, and Cai Lixing might ask Taiji to welcome back the founder again because of some incident in the future.

However, the alternation between Zhang and Cai is not the focus of his attention. The focus is on the movements of Professor Hu Zhengming's proud disciple Liang Mengsong.

If the butterfly's wings do not affect this aspect, Liang Mengsong, who is considered to be a hopeful successor at this time, may soon face a cold reception, and then it will be a good opportunity for Bingxin to contact.

Fang Zhuo had contacted Liang Mengsong once, and had also sent out an invitation, but the technical genius simply rejected him.

This moment, that moment.

Now that Bingxin has a certain technical foundation and funds, and Liang Mengsong's mentor successfully joined the company after ending the non-compete agreement, the conditions are already different.

Fang Zhuo is full of expectations for the internal changes of Tai Ji.

"Mr. Fang, Zhang Zhongmou is retiring. Don't you breathe a sigh of relief?" Xiong Xiaoge said with a smile seeing that Mr. Fang's reaction was flat.

"SMIC will probably breathe a sigh of relief. I have never met Zhang Zhongmou, but Zhang Rujing and Mr. Zhang have suffered a lot from him." Fang Zhuo turned a page of the document.

Xiong Xiaoge laughed, and said with emotion: "Mr. Fang, you know me, um, and Mr. Zhang, Mr. Xu, why are they willing to cast ice cores?"

"Because you love me." Fang Zhuo said lightly.

Xiong Xiaoge: "?"

But after thinking about it, he really nodded and said, "Who doesn't love Mr. Fang."

Xiong Xiaoge gave the answer seriously: "One of the most important reasons is that you are young. Look at the Taiwan Records. Zhang Zhongmou retired before you started to suffer. When SMIC's Zhang Rujing also retires, isn't Bingxin invincible?"

Age is an advantage.

And Mr. Fang at such an age has always been tenacious. As long as he survives his peers, with his means, Bing Xin's future is bright.

If you can't beat Zhang Zhongmou, can you beat Cai Lixing to death?
Fang Zhuo closed the document and said with a smile: "If you succeed according to the time, you will have to wait a long time for the money."

"This is the long-term goal." Xiong Xiaoge said, "I believe that such a semiconductor company will have to go public for financing sooner or later. Our money alone is not enough for the faster development of Bingxin."

Fang Zhuo asked with great interest: "A founder like Zhang Zhongmou has always had a strong personality, and he is destined not to lose his influence after retirement. If Cai Lixing's actions after taking over are not as he wants, will this one come back?"

Zhang Zhongmou's Yu Tai Ji...

Thinking of that person's reputation, Xiong Xiaoge hesitated and said, "I'm all back, let's not make assumptions."

"It's okay, even if he comes back, I'm not afraid, I'm..." Fang Zhuo smiled, and boasted, "If you meet the strong, you will be strong."

So far, Bingxin has not had any conflicts with Taiji, but I am afraid that because of Professor Hu Zhengming's low-key handling, Taiji will have a grudge because of this matter sooner or later.

He chatted a bit, and continued: "Zhang Zhongmou's retirement, and Cai Lixing's new arrival, I'm afraid it may not be good news for SMIC."

Xiong Xiaoge was surprised: "Mr. Fang thinks highly of Cai Lixing?"

He knew that Fang always had the habit of understanding his opponents, and he was often very accurate in judging people.

"It's not an evaluation of him." Fang Zhuo said calmly, "I heard that Cai Lixing personally acted on SMIC before Taiwan Ji. Xin, a thorn in his side, still has the energy to catch up, and I'm afraid he won't stop."

Xiong Xiaoge was even more surprised: "How does Cai Lixing perform the operation himself?"

Fang Zhuo gave an example: "For example, Cai Lixing brought Jiang Shangyi to the United States and went to Texas Instruments to compare the chips and fix the evidence."

"This..." Xiong Xiaoge felt a burst of murderous intent, "Is this true?"

"The two companies have reconciled now, and some of the original situation has been revealed, so it shouldn't be a lie." Fang Zhuo said flatly, "I think the people from Deyi probably don't have any motivation to mislead me, and they just use it as talk."

Xiong Xiaoge asked, "Have you talked with Mr. Zhang?"

"As for the departure of Goldman Sachs and Deutsche Bank, Mr. Zhang and I talked on the phone about the changes in the record." Fang Zhuo frowned, "However, I feel that Mr. Zhang may not be as vigilant as I am. "

After all, the two parties reached a settlement agreement, and the compensation amount was as high as 1.75 million US dollars.

This is already a severe bloodletting.

Xiong Xiaoge was silent.

Indeed, Fang has always been a very... vigilant person.

He seems to trust others less and prefers to trust his own judgment and intuition.

"It's good for the ice core." Xiong Xiaoge shook his head, and gave a good news after the hypothetical influence.

However, there was no smile on his face, and he quickly said another four words: "Poor fate."

It seems to be talking about SMIC, and it seems to be talking about the domestic semiconductor industry.

Fang Zhuo didn't have so many emotions, he joked: "Don't panic, I'm here."

Xiong Xiaoge knew that this was a real person who did things, and said, "Mr. Fang, I must say that your determination is rare among all I've seen."

So, the last time I saw Mr. Fang even drinking Coke, he was very impressed.

After earnestly boasting, he said with a smile, "Is there any secret to cultivating one's will?"

Fang Zhuo patted the file: "Yes."

Xiong Xiaoge looked at the document: "What is this?"

"The recent situation of domestic e-buy." Fang Zhuo smiled slightly, "Semiconductors are weak, I can't change this, and it won't be reversed in a short while, so my secret is..."

"Find some other bullying bullies, and when you are in a good mood, you will be motivated to continue investing in semiconductors."

Xiong Xiaoge took the document, which contained the offline competition encountered by e-buy.

He flipped through it carefully, looking left and right, only to find that there were only five words written.

President Fang is back.
