Reinventing the Millennium

Chapter 910 Status in the Jianghu (5k)

Morningstar, MediaTek, and Qimonda, these are the two groups of people that Fang Zhuo met when he came to the capital for business.

Some other collaborators, potential collaborators, or friends did not hold a banquet to meet again, because there was an opening dinner led by the Federation of Industry and Commerce in the capital, which brought together many Chinese and foreign guests, celebrities, and business elites.

Fang Zhuo felt that such an occasion would be very good. It would be a good thing for everyone to meet, drink, chat, and talk about the Olympics.

As we all know, he likes sports most when he owns a team, not to mention, he has recently become obsessed with golf.

The five Olympic rings can be seen everywhere in Beijing, and "Beijing Welcomes You" can be heard from time to time. Many online platforms introduce the Olympic situation from different perspectives.

At the same time, the Weibo social platform also launched a series of activities, and the online and offline activities were lively.

During the daytime on August [-]th, Fang Zhuo accompanied his family to visit places such as the Bird's Nest and took pictures as souvenirs.

He was sweating a lot and felt that the weather was stuffy, but his parents and uncles were all in high spirits, so he felt that the trip was worthwhile. On the way, he met a passerby who recognized him, and was asked "When will I be able to buy Mars?" It's a little tidbit.

After dinner, we went straight to the Bird’s Nest. Tonight’s opening ceremony is two hours from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-], and the dinner of the Federation of Industry and Commerce is held at the Crowne Plaza Hotel Wuzhou not far from the Bird’s Nest. It is more of a casual friendship nature.

Fang Zhuo and his party sat in the front, and the people sitting next to them were all familiar friends.

Before eight o'clock, Fang Zhuo and Xiong Xiaoge talked in detail about the situation of Qimonda that the secretary had informed.

Xiong Xiaoge had to express his speechlessness in front of the parties again: "What is this? Qimonda said it has tens of billions of assets. As long as you transfer 3 million turnover to it, you will be given a few production lines with interest in the future? Are you kidding? You have to call Mr. Luo in front of you, isn't this a pure liar?"

Fang Zhuo smiled and said, "Mr. Luo is quite serious."

Xiong Xiaoge complained, "Why do you come into contact with people like this?"

Fang Zhuo was upset: "Why did you talk? It was just chatting, and he didn't really transfer the money. He almost vomited the day before yesterday."

"Fake it!" Xiong Xiaoge made a decisive judgment, "People who are short of money will do anything to get money!"

Fang Zhuo shook his head: "I don't like to speculate on others maliciously."

Xiong Xiaoge sneered twice, "I don't even need to go to the scene to see it, it must be faked, think about yourself, haven't you faked it?"

He added: "Yes, yes, you never speculate, you always pounce on it with malicious intent."

"Can you communicate well?" Fang Zhuo was very dissatisfied, "If you talk about him, talk about him. Why do you always take me?"

"I'm just stating my opinion, whether you're true or not, I'm lazy to get involved in these things." Xiong Xiaoge said directly, "Isn't there someone else? You let Wang Fengyi do this, he's the best at it."

Fang Zhuo complimented: "No, no, I think you are better at this."

Xiong Xiaoge smiled and remained silent.

Fang Zhuo said again: "It's really troublesome to recruit people to do things, but I know that you, Old Bear, have never been afraid of trouble, otherwise you wouldn't want to reverse acquire IDG."

Xiong Xiaoge didn't laugh anymore.

He just frowned and said: "This kind of thing that is destined to have no results is very boring, don't just think that you are the only one busy."

"I'll treat you to a drink another day." Fang Zhuo could already hear the difference in the old bear's attitude. Between friends, it's okay to help.

The lights at the Bird's Nest were dimmed, and the cheers of the audience grew louder. A group of fireworks circled the scene for a week and disappeared, and the sundial appeared in everyone's sight.

Fang Zhuo said hastily: "That's it. Later, when you buy IDG, come to me and I'll count the money for you. Let's watch the opening."

Xiong Xiaoge let out a sigh of relief, and saw that Mr. Fang still had to count the money to himself. Did that Mr. Luo learn a lot from Mr. Fang?

Fireworks reappeared from the sundial, and 2008 drummers began beating the cans.

The opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games was unveiled.

Fang Zhuo admired all this closely.

The opening ceremony in the capital city must be reliable, just as the old Xiong will be able to handle the hypocrisy with Qimonda.

It took two full hours for the opening, but the wonderful performances made the time seem to pass quickly.

When the audience finished in an orderly manner, the family members had to go back to the hotel to rest. Even Su Wei was not interested in the dinner hosted by the Federation of Industry and Commerce. She would rather talk about the Bird's Nest performance she saw tonight.

"When will Mars go on sale?" Xiong Xiaoge couldn't help asking a question that had been on his mind for a while on the way there.

"The day after tomorrow or next Friday, I don't think there is any news from China Unicom today, and it's likely to be next Friday." Fang Zhuo said relaxedly, "As soon as the Olympics start, after the 'meaningful' level things have passed, we can fight for the market. "

Xiong Xiaoge asked a very important question, and even lowered his voice unconsciously: "How much did the previous generation of Mars sell for?"

Fang Zhuo spat out a number: "2499."

Xiong Xiaoge was taken aback: "With such a low price, are you going to kill all other domestic mobile phones? Will it affect the positioning of Mars2? They are all a series, and once the price drops, it is difficult to raise it again. "

"The price of 2000+ is not the territory of domestic mobile phones. Nokia, Sony Ericsson, and Samsung are the main players here." Fang Zhuo disagrees. Now most domestic mobile phones are played in the price range below 2000.

He also said: "Special reasons lead to two generations, and this is the only time. You don't see that even when supermarkets open, they have to open big rewards."

Xiong Xiaoge guessed: "The price of Mars2 is 3999?"

Fang Zhuo nodded and said, "China Unicom has 5 packages, and you can buy a mobile phone with 0 yuan if you have any credits left. It's quite dazzling anyway, but it won't lock the network, and other networks can also be used."

Xiong Xiaoge knows the current market situation, and is currently testing two standards, while Unicom's WCDMA network is a more mature network, and it won't have much impact if it is not locked. Consumers will soon feel the word of mouth.

This may be because the operator has stronger confidence in market applications, and he also believes that Unicom's package purchase will inevitably produce good results in China.

The car soon arrived at the Crowne Plaza Hotel.

Xiong Xiaoge was still pondering Yike's price strategy, while Fang Zhuo was interested in chatting with Wang Yan about Sina's performance in the Olympics, and a foreign investment at the beginning of this year, which Sina spent 1000 million US dollars to acquire. acquired a 25% stake in a Riot Games company.

At 10:30 in the evening, the banquet hall of the hotel was full of excitement.

The Olympic Games is a grand event, so it goes without saying that people from the capital, such as Ma Huateng, also flew to participate.

When Fang Zhuo walked in, he had to say hello to the Federation of Industry and Commerce who invited him, and Huang Xingze, the director of the Federation of Industry and Commerce, also came to lead the group.

Following their footsteps, the crowd automatically moved out of the way, and there were voices of greetings.

Fang Zhuo nodded with a smile, and will come over to greet the leader after checking in with the leader.

However, just halfway there, a group of people who had also visited the leader before finished chatting and walked in the same direction as they left. The leaders were the well-known entrepreneur Yanagawa Shi and others.

The banquet hall is spacious, and the crowd has already given way.

When Liu Chuanzhi and the others saw Fang Zhuo and the group in front of them, they crossed their eyes, they didn't stop at the spot and waited for greetings, and they didn't intend to reach out to shake hands, they just walked straight along the road.

Fang Zhuo wanted to nod his head and go over, but when he saw their behavior, he also walked straight forward.

Huang Xingze, the director of the Federation of Industry and Commerce, changed his face. He thought about changing the direction of his leadership and held back. If something happened, the leaders not far in front would come to smooth things over.

The two groups of people couldn't avoid it, and they both stopped in the end.

Liu Chuanzhi turned his head, as if he was listening intently to the person next to him, without reaching out his hand.

Fang Zhuo had a smile on his face, but he didn't intend to reach out.

"Mr. Fang, this is Mr. Liu from Lenovo." Huang Xingze bit the bullet and wanted to introduce each other to the two entrepreneurs who stand in the business world but don't seem to know each other at the moment, "Mr. Liu, this is Mr. Fang from Yike."

When he spoke like this, the group of people were stunned.

"Hey, Mr. Fang." Liu Chuanzhi laughed as if his thoughts were interrupted, "Just now we were talking about Mr. Fang and Yi Ke, but now we turn around and see the real master."

Fang Zhuo stretched out his hand to shake Brother Liu first, and then blamed Director Huang: "How can I not know Mr. Liu, Mr. Liu has not seen me from a long distance, and I wanted to chat with him as soon as I came in. .”

Liu Chuanzhi did not let go, and praised: "Mr. Fang, you have done a good job recently. That mobile phone is really not bad. I was talking about this with Mr. Duan just now."

It was Fang Zhuo's old acquaintance Duan Yongji who had been talking just now. He had a wonderful past with Fang Zhuo in Sina and was always talked about.

Seeing that the old Duan didn't intend to shake hands with him, Fang Zhuo said with a smile, "I haven't seen Mr. Duan for a long time, so I don't know what to correct me this time."

There was a smile on Duan Yongji's face, but he still didn't want to hang up halfway through. He said with a slight sarcasm: "I can't talk about correcting me or not. Mr. Fang has always corrected me a lot."

Fang Zhuo smiled slightly, and said politely: "Then you don't have to thank me, I really have to thank Mr. Duan."

The already fragile atmosphere was punctured all of a sudden. What happened on Sina was that he was pecked at the eyes while playing with an eagle, and the old horse stumbled. It was Duan Yongji's never-forgotten and hard-to-heal pain. He vaguely mentioned this incident to satirize the other party. Zhuo simply opened it with a big thorn.

Duan Yongji's face was ugly.

Fang Zhuo turned his head and said to the CEO of Sina who was a little behind: "Speaking of this correction, I have always told Mr. Wang that Sina would not be where it is today without the hard work of the seniors. In particular, Mr. Wang must thank you."

In fact, Wang Yan wanted the two groups of people to stagger the past, but this was named, so he didn't hesitate, and said politely: "Sina's prosperity today is definitely inseparable from the pioneering work of the predecessors, and I have always been very grateful to Chairman Duan for his help." nourish."

He is an old man of Stone Company, and was once regarded as Duan Yongji's person in Sina.

Things have changed and things are different.

Wang Yan took two steps and stood next to Mr. Fang with a calm expression.

Seeing this, Liu Chuanzhi took up the topic again: "Just now I discussed the success of domestic mobile phones with Lao Duan, and I think this Yike mobile phone is really good, but there is also a hidden danger. The patent issue is not easy to deal with. "

The patent litigation of Yike mobile phone has gone back and forth several times, but everyone who pays attention knows this situation.

Fang Zhuo didn't hide it either. He restrained his smile and said in a slightly heavy tone: "Yes, this is my first time making a mobile phone, and I haven't dealt with Nokia before. I don't know how difficult it is. In fact, patents are one aspect, and the other is On the one hand, I am worried that someone will take the opportunity to short our company’s stock price, hey, it’s really not easy.”

Xiong Xiaoge felt strange, and Wang Yan was also a little surprised.

Several people beside Liu Chuanzhi, including Duan Yongji, felt a little moved. They didn't expect Mr. Fang to be so frank, this short Yike...

With a keen mind and familiarity with the secondary market, it is naturally not what the surname Fang said. It depends on the real patent negotiation situation, but it is not impossible to pay attention. Nokia is the hegemony of the industry, and Nokia has key patents. This is obvious. thing.

"Even if it's difficult to run a business, you have to do it." Liu Chuanzhi said so first, and then said, "But, Mr. Fang, don't always make the situation so rigid. Domestic companies are fine, and foreign companies may not know. Your general style."

Fang Zhuo frowned slightly.

Duan Yongji continued, mocking himself: "I have experienced Mr. Fang's style, but I don't know if Nokia can let Mr. Fang go."

Xiong Xiaoge felt that this was not pleasant, so he smiled and said, "It's not so serious. Nokia is a mobile phone manufacturer, not a patent hooligan. It was all negotiated."

A woman behind Yanagawa chimed in: "I heard that Nokia is going to sue for a sales ban in the United States. Is this not serious?"

Duan Yongji tilted his head and said, "Secretary Cheng's worries are justified."

This title is a bit confusing.

"What's your name?" Fang Zhuo asked directly without muttering.

"This is the president of Daonong Research Institute, Ms. Cheng Hong, secretary-general of Huaxia Entrepreneur Club." Huang Xingze from the Federation of Industry and Commerce knew this person and immediately introduced him.

Fang Zhuo glanced, what the hell?

Someone will say what he is inconvenient to say.

Wang Yan said unceremoniously: "Dao Nong? What Daonong? I haven't heard of it. It turned out to be a club. I thought it was the leader of which department."

Duan Yongji was furious, you were so polite back then, how could you charge into battle like Fang Zhuo's dog?

Cheng Hong didn't expect that he would be refuted in person after speaking out, and he was a little embarrassed: "Dao Nong is studying local entrepreneurship, it is..."

Xiong Xiaoge interrupted: "Shh, be quiet, let Mr. Liu talk, I won't study any spirit today."

"Mr. Xiong doesn't let people talk anymore?" Huang Guangyu, the head of Gome who walked over slowly, stood next to Duan Yongji and said with a smile.

Seeing another old friend, Fang Zhuo's eyes lit up: "I haven't seen Mr. Huang for a while, I thought... Mr. Huang, just start a business with peace of mind, and don't make the same mistakes again."

Huang Guangyu's face darkened.

"This is the first time I've met Mr. Fang." Lenovo's current CEO, Yang Yuanqing, showed his presence, "I just realized that Mr. Fang speaks so unforgivingly."

"It doesn't matter what you say, we are all in business, and nothing is as interesting as meeting in the market." Fang Zhuo smiled, "I still think about when Yike will also be in the computer business."

Yang Yuanqing's eyes narrowed slightly, really?Fake?
Fang Zhuo looked at Huang Guangyu: "Boss Huang, are you right?"

Huang Guangyu's face was as usual: "I'm looking forward to when Tesco Electric will be able to play a dozen offline."

"Is Suning here today?" Fang Zhuo looked around and saw Zhang Jindong, "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang, Gome is asking for a fight."

Zhang Jindong was originally watching the fun and didn't want to get involved in the collision between Fang and Liu, but when there was movement from Gome, he walked over with great interest and pretended to arrive: "They are all here, today's opening ceremony is so beautiful , Gome seeks war? Aren’t we always fighting? Haha, Mr. Huang asked me.”

Before Huang Guangyu could speak, someone in the camp was helping the scene. Shi Yuzhu walked over and stood beside him with a smile: "Oh, it's so lively, what are you talking about?"

After he came over, Lu Zhiqiang from Oceanwide approached from the other side: "Everyone is here, but Mr. Liu's side is still lively."

Wantong's Feng Lun turned a corner, stood next to Lu Zhiqiang, looked at Fang Zhuo: "Mr. Fang is here, and they all came to chat with Mr. Liu."

Zheng Yuewen from Kerui Group walked over with a smile, without saying a word, just stood beside Feng Lun.

Brother Liu has a wide range of friends and has his own status in the world.

Zhang Jindong reached out to get a glass of wine, and moved a little.

There are already many people on Liu's side, and there are helpers here. There are only five people on Fang Zhuo's side, which seems a little weak.

"It took me a while to find Mr. Fang. Mr. Fang, I have to drink with you tonight."

At this moment, a voice came from diagonally, Zhao Jinrong, the chairman of North Huachuang, walked quickly.

"Yes, Mr. Fang, we all said that if you don't get drunk tonight, you won't go home." Walking with Zhao Jinrong was Yin Zhiyao, the head of Zhongwei Company. He was smiling and finally saw Mr. Fang again.

Wang Xinchao from JCET who came together smiled and nodded repeatedly, not drunk or returning.

Huachuang, China Microelectronics, and JCET, three semiconductor companies, are also members of the Ice Core Wafer Manufacturing Service Alliance, ah no, tonight is a member of the Ice Core Master Helping Field Alliance.

The three of them came hand in hand. Although semiconductors are not a hot spot, it is no problem to help strengthen the lineup.

"Mr. Fang, you can't do without me when you drink. I'm still thinking about going to Europe when you have time." Nan Cunhui, head of Chint Group, a gang in the Yangtze River Delta who visited Europe, walked to Mr. Fang cheerfully.

"No, I didn't expect Mr. Fang to chat here for so long." Chen Nianxing, the deputy general manager of Shanggong Shenbei, a member of the gang, was indeed chatting with Mr. Nan about his visit to Europe just now, and planned to wait for Mr. Fang to finish greeting with the leaders of the Federation of Industry and Commerce I just toasted two glasses of wine, but I didn't expect him to be stumbled on the road.

Liu Chuanzhi had never seen such a big storm, and despite the changes in other people's expressions, he just looked at the group of so many people.

"Mr. Fang is here. Is the opening ceremony good? Come and have a drink." President Jiang, the head of ICBC, walked into the banquet hall and saw a large group of people chatting. Zhi nodded, "Yes, Mr. Liu."

"Mr. Fang, I also wanted to talk to you about Sina's exclusive interview." The leaders of the Federation of Industry and Commerce saw President Jiang and came over belatedly, eager to watch.

Fang Zhuo shook hands with President Jiang, then shook hands with the leaders of the Federation of Industry and Commerce, nodded to Liu Chuanzhi and said, "Mr. Liu, next time I have time to talk to you about computer business."

He and the two leaders walked forward, and a group of people followed behind.

Mr. Fang has a wide range of friends and has his own status in the world.
