Reinventing the Millennium

The SEC wants to investigate, Nasdaq is demonstrating, and the founder of Bridgewater stands up and denounces...

"Tsk, tsk, it's so lively."

In a rough office in a factory in Qingdao, Zhang Rujing carefully read today's Qingdao Morning Post.

Since leaving SMIC last year, he did not have too many sorrows and quickly devoted himself to the work of selecting new project sites and forming a team, and was soon stationed in Qingdao.

Although the project is set in Qingdao, this project to expand silicon wafers also received investment from Shanghai and Beijing, as well as personal investment from Mr. Fang.

Zhang Rujing lives in Qingdao and still pays attention to the trends of the industry and friends, but he doesn't like to use the Internet very much. After discovering that "Qingdao Morning Post" has opened a news section of "Ba" (gua), he regarded this newspaper as his daily newspaper. A must-read every day.

Ever since Yike was besieged by hedge funds last month, he has been paying attention to this matter. The newspapers did not disappoint and continued to share the news.

In the past two days, the newspaper has become somewhat chaotic and inconsistent.

The day before it was "Mr. Fang is sad, he can't beat the four hands with two fists", and the next day it has become "Mr. Fang is vilifying the people and crusading, the organization is abandoning its armor and dragging its troops." Today, the entire page is filled with reprinted foreign media news , as if everything was turned upside down.

Zhang Rujing found it particularly interesting. Mr. Fang is really a character who takes advantage of the fire.

Although he has been working in semiconductors all his life, when he read the news, he did not follow the dazzling news. Instead, he considered what changes had occurred in the main company in this incident.

If Yike's patent dilemma is resolved, Nokia may suffer.

This may be what Mr. Fang cares about most.

Just as Zhang Rujing was about to put away the newspaper, the number of Liu Yangyang, secretary-general of the Wafer Service Alliance, suddenly appeared on his phone.

"Hey, Mr. Zhang, it's me, Liu Yangyang."

"There is now an investment fund of US$150 million. I wonder if you are interested?"

Liu Yangyang got straight to the point.

Zhang Rujing couldn't help but laugh and said: "Let me guess, does this mysterious fund have the surname Fang?"

"In principle, this is an equity private equity fund from overseas." Liu Yangyang said euphemistically.

"Mr. Fang made money from overseas, and he didn't forget to give me a piece of the pork. Hey, I will fight with anyone who says that Mr. Fang is ruthless!" Zhang Rujing said loudly.

Liu Yangyang insisted on his principle: "Mr. Zhang, I'm calling you today to talk about the lead investment. Mr. Fang is being slandered. Well, he probably doesn't care about this. If possible, overseas equity private equity funds will be slandered tomorrow." You can fly to Qingdao.”

"This fund is quite urgent, and it's flying very fast. Okay, I have time, and I'm willing to accept the fund's kindness." Zhang Rujing agreed, but he didn't politely make a request, "I'm in short supply right now. I can’t find anyone with experience in China, so can the fund help me think of a solution?”

Liu Yangyang carefully took note of the request from Zhang Rujing and planned to report this issue to overseas equity private equity funds.

She is very happy that Mr. Zhang can get more funds here.

The entire semiconductor industry chain is not lacking, and there are no reliable substitutes for many links. It is the most reliable thing to see that a reliable person like Mr. Zhang is willing to continue to shine.

She hung up the phone and continued dividing the pork.

Separate the reliable ones first, wait for the unreliable ones later, and see if the unreliable ones can be modified.

…

Funding is in action!

Because of the impact of the financial crisis on the industry, and because leaders such as Mr. Fang, Mr. Jiang, Dr. Qiu, and Dr. Liang jointly went to Beijing to advise, the industry called the "Integrated Circuit Industry Investment Fund" established this year a big fund.

At the same time, overseas funds led by the "Wafer Service Alliance" are called small funds.

However, sometimes people tend to call “wafer funds” that are highly professional, fast in lending, have extensive access to resources, and have strong investment and after-sales services as big funds.

Anyway, no matter what, large and small funds have acted in different dimensions, both protecting and reorganizing the industrial ecology under the financial crisis.

In addition to the mysterious overseas equity private equity funds, the joint funds of Yike Investment, Shenxin Science and Technology, and IDG are also seeking and exploding domestically.

IDG, which has been investing in China since the 1990s, has deep connections. Shen Xinke, which has the labels of Shanghai City and China National Brand, is easy to establish. As for Yike Investment...it gets stronger when it encounters strength. This time, IDG and Shen Xinke, which have a keen sense of smell, are holding hands. He is particularly good at finding investment projects negotiated by powerful institutions such as Goldman Sachs and Bridgewater Associates in China, and even sponsoring business for quasi-listed companies.

Goldman Sachs invests your money.

What I invested in you was also Goldman Sachs money.

Besides, the Yike Department also has some influence and resources in the country. Isn’t this something that should be considered?

In just one day, three small teams formed temporarily made some achievements, and two promising companies expressed their willingness to consider new financing targets.

This abnormal situation immediately attracted the attention of Xu Kaiwei, Goldman Sachs’ president of investment in China.

He went to Hang Lung 23 last month to lobby Mr. Fang, and he found it difficult to handle at that time. This month, he frowned even more after learning that the United States continued to short Yike. If the foreign market for Yike is sluggish, he must not look for compensation from domestic sources. .

Mr. Fang is not the kind of person who swallows his anger.

Unexpectedly, Yike did not suffer a loss, but two hedge funds owned by Goldman Sachs were liquidated...

While Xu Kaiwei was shocked by the stock market's reversal, he also felt that this kind of trading from Mr. Fang seemed to be in line with his understanding of him.

What's more surprising...Yike didn't suffer any loss, so why was he still causing trouble in the country?

Still human?

This no longer fits my understanding of him!

Xu Kaiwei angrily called Mr. Fang and questioned the Yike gang's tyrannical behavior.

"Mr. Fang, what do you mean? It's not like I'm shorting you, so why did you gather a group of people to come after my business?"

Fang Zhuo received the call at home and asked, "Isn't your surname Gao?"

"My surname is, no, my surname is Xu!" Xu Kaiwei knew what Mr. Fang meant and felt deeply wronged. "Every injustice has its owner, and every debt has its own owner. Mr. Fang, don't I mean enough to you?"

Goldman Sachs, chaired by Xu Kaiwei, has indeed had good cooperation or investment with Yike, Bingxin and even Sina and Yongke Real Estate...

Fang Zhuo thought for a moment and said: "Mr. Xu, it's not that I want to target you. Including your business, I haven't seen any reports yet. This matter is simply because the brothers can't stand it."

"Think about it, your Goldman Sachs has been shorting my Yike over and over again."

"Okay, let's forget this matter. Victory and defeat are common affairs. If Goldman Sachs loses, you lose. Why are you still stigmatizing me? Why are you still suing Yike? Isn't this something you can't afford?"

"You guys at Goldman Sachs are doing this and I won't say anything. I can tolerate it, but my brothers can't."

"If it were me in your place, I would immediately resign from Goldman Sachs. How could I do this?"

Fang Zhuo took over the mutton skewers that Weiwei had just grilled and was filled with indignation.

Starting from Tuesday in the United States, a series of stigmatization began, and it was even traced to the abnormal stock price fluctuations when Yike was listed.

After all, Yike is a mobile phone company, so it still needs to pay attention to its brand culture.

As the founder, Fang Zhuo has a very close connection with the mobile phone brand. Neither he nor the company believes that "irrationality" and "endless stigmatization" are beneficial to the product.

Once "irrational" is used, it's over. Next time you want to use it, someone else will naturally do it for you.

The "endless stigmatization and criticism" are actions from opponents, who bluntly say that the head of Yike is a murderer who blackmails retail investors and violates laws and disciplines.

Fang Zhuo thought he could just scold him, but he didn't expect that he would destroy him in public opinion.

How is this possible? I still want to sell mobile phones.

Hasn’t the murderer already come forward? The Gasoline Man, Bald Kong, has already claimed responsibility for the incident. If anything happens, just go over there.

Fang Zhuo in China is not as responsive as he is in the United States, and he cannot always focus on this.

"Mr. Fang, you, you, you..." Xu Kaiwei breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't say that you are so spotless. If you hadn't driven this matter, I would have taken your last name!"

He was still very confident, and it wasn't the first day he met Mr. Fang.

"Hey, Mr. Xu, you guys at Goldman Sachs are all virtuous. What does it mean to me if you have my last name?" Fang Zhuo said, "Your name is Fang Kaiwei. Can you make up for Yike's losses?"

Xu Kaiwei was stunned: "What did you Yike lose? It was the Goldman Sachs hedge fund that was liquidated!"

"Reputation, reputation, reputation!" Fang Zhuo was indignant again, "Yike's reputation and my reputation are priceless!"

Xu Kaiwei finally couldn't help it anymore: "Mr. Fang, don't make excuses for me. We are having a good time together after all. How can you say that I, Xu Kaiwei, can't invest a single sum of money?"

When he heard this, he immediately remembered that Mr. Fang had made a statement in Shanghai. As a result, Xiangjiang Changhe had no major projects in Shanghai or East China.

Fang Zhuo was surprised and said, "Huh? That's not what I said."

"Did your brothers say that? Is there any difference?" Xu Kaiwei said angrily.

Fang Zhuo: "..."

This, execution is indeed prone to errors. Who has a grudge against Mr. Xu?

He explained briefly: "Mr. Xu, if it were me, I would only say that Goldman Sachs cannot invest money."

But in fact, he didn't even say this. He liked to start from the facts. It was impossible for Goldman Sachs to fail to spend money.

"Mr. Fang, you said 'doing things'. I, Goldman Sachs Investment, led by Xu Kaiwei, have not offended you at all, right? In the words you just said, has anyone done this? Doesn't this affect Chi Yu?" Xu Kaiwei still felt very wronged.

In view of past cooperation and experience, Fang Zhuo really thought about Mr. Xu's request carefully, but he still said softly: "Yes, Mr. Xu, what you said makes sense."

Xu Kaiwei perked up: "Let me just say that Mr. Fang is not an unreasonable person."

"But there seems to be no better solution. Mr. Xu, I can't help it this time." Fang Zhuo ate the skewers and apologized deeply.

"What do you mean?" Xu Kaiwei asked.

"That's what I meant." Fang Zhuo ended the call and hung up the next call.

Although there may be some deviations in the execution process, the overall situation is like this. If you continue to talk about it, it will hurt our friendship. Stop talking about it and bear with it.

I won't harm others unless they harm me. Goldman Sachs in the United States is attacking me. I can't help but fight back. If I don't fight back, my brothers will force me to fight back.

"What?" Su Wei put down the chicken legs that needed to be roasted for a while, walked over and asked.

"It's okay. You can't hide two ounces of sesame oil in a dog's belly. Goldman Sachs wants to take action but doesn't want to damage their interests. How can such a good thing happen?" Fang Zhuo shook his head and said, "This villa area is quite quiet."

Due to security issues that require more attention today, the former world's richest man received a large villa from Mr. Su.

Today is a great gift, so I invite my friends to come over for a little gathering.

"The security here is very good. The status of the CEO has risen, and the world's richest man will never be the same as before." Su Wei said.

Fang Zhuo corrected: "The former richest man in the world."

His wealth was calculated on a daily basis, and now it has expired again.

Su Wei nodded: "I think the former world's richest man has a villa in Houston, so I can't wrong you in Shanghai."

"No grievance, except that there is no swimming pool and you can't land a helicopter, this place is pretty good." Fang Zhuo praised.

Su Wei used chicken legs to gag the former world's richest man.

While Fang Zhuo was eating, he listened to the chatter of his friends, and couldn't help but take out his phone and check Twitter.

The counterattack from institutions and the media is fierce. Due to the lack of organization, retail investors are not as fierce as before, but there is still a trend of flowering.

Freetrade has internally determined that it will suspend services for a week. As for whether there can be a regular development in the future, that will be left behind for the time being.

This time, the effects of Internet + populism and financial violence + cyber violence have begun to worry many people. Tools such as Freetrade and Go die that have completed their tasks are no longer able to have customers shoulder the pressure with all their heart and soul, so they just let nature take its course.

Faced with criticism, Fang Zhuo often fought back with his own hands.

But there were flaws in the process.

He retweeted a tweet criticizing patent trolls, but unexpectedly, the patent trolls listed in the previous post included "Nokia and Yike". It didn't take long for Yike to ban the sale of LG and sue Motorola.

Such a mistake made Fang Zhuo feel embarrassed. However, Twitter fans thought it was irony or denial, and the corresponding comments were even more... awkward.

Fortunately, most of the time there is no problem in confronting institutions such as Goldman Sachs and Bridgewater Associates.

With such mutual accusations, and with the number of followers in the top ten on Twitter, they are not too far behind. What really makes Fang Zhuo speechless often comes from the comments of fans.

Some fans who specially learned Chinese unexpectedly praised them with confidence after witnessing the online battle.

"Mr. Fang is really like a wolf and a tiger!"

What he praised was Mr. Fang's momentum, and he really relieved Mr. Fang's momentum.

Fang Zhuo was sitting in the courtyard, eating several skewers of barbecue and then put down his patrol. When he looked up, he saw Zhang Xiaolong who had been summoned to Shanghai. He came with Sina Wang Yan this time and also caught up with his housewarming.

"Come, come, let's talk about that software of yours."

Fang Zhuo waved and called Zhang Xiaolong and Wang Yan over.

We definitely won’t be able to go out this year, so it’s time to try the domestic hardware foundation.
