Reinventing the Millennium

February 27th, weekend.

Hang Lung 23 held a small meeting. Fang Zhuo, President of Yike, listened to everyone’s feedback on the domestic market and made slight adjustments to department functions to cope with the increasingly fierce competition in the country.

After the meeting ended, he and Vice President Su Wei chatted about the company's situation in the president's office.

Finally, Fang Zhuo asked a little thing.

"Teacher Xiao Su, I will go to work tomorrow on Monday. There is a senior from Chengdu named Ni Boren. Please help me find any suitable positions and do an internship."

Su Wei was surprised, changed her thoughts, guessed the origin of the intern, and said with a smile: "What? You have been tossing around in Sichuan and Sichuan for a while, and after that, you got a proton?"

She knew that her boss had been busy with Changhong's listed company in the past half month. Although she didn't know the details, judging from the news results and Changhong's announcement, it seemed that the famous Sichuan company was being manipulated.

Half a month's time.

Only half a month!

When Su Wei circulated the announcement about Changhong's acquisition of Meiling to her colleagues, they read it together. At that time, everyone felt unanimously that the boss was really majestic!

This time, it seems that Yike's resources were not used very much, and only the name was used a little. Coupled with news reports from several media, why did Changhong just follow it?

I really don't know what's going on inside.

"How can I have such leisure? It's Changhong's old Ni who insists on letting his son come to Shanghai to see the world." Fang Zhuo shook his head, "His son Xiao Ni was originally an intern in Changhong. I guess Old Ni thought that he would have a future with me. Just got it."

Su Wei asked: "Changhong is so tormented by you, but Mr. Ni is actually so convinced?"

"That's it." Fang Zhuo said seriously, "When I arrived in Chengdu, I saw Ni Runfeng and only said one sentence, 'I am the richest man in the country, you must respect me.' Then, he led Changhong to surrender with special respect."

Su Wei knew that the boss was starting to prevaricate her.

She thought for a while and said: "Then let's arrange that Ni Boren to be in the supply chain. What is his personality like? That person from New York has done a good job in the supply chain. Since he is here to see the world and interact with the global supply chain, It’s most useful when dealing with business people.”

Fang Zhuo laughed, hey, this is interesting. The rapid success of APEX company relies on the Anliang Chamber of Commerce. It is fate that these two young people get together.

"Okay, Xiao Ni has a very simple personality, as long as President Su thinks it's appropriate."

Su Wei glanced at the boss and asked, "I see your schedule is to go to the United States at the end of next month?"

"Yeah, I'm really tired of flying. I'm going to the United States at the end of next month. I'll go through the formal process of purchasing a team, pass the official U.S. review of equipment purchase, and shout about the MIGA fund." Fang Zhuo frowned as he said this. Foreign and domestic matters also need to be dealt with, "There is a piece of land here in Shanghai to invite bids, I have to go to Luzhou to meet Professor Hu Zhengming, and I have several industry conferences to attend."

He talked about his itinerary and shook his head repeatedly: "It's not that I don't know, but I really don't have any time for myself."

"This is not about buying a team to reward yourself. Think about the team you can match with Yao Ming. This is what you got in other times." Su Wei comforted.

When Fang Zhuo thought about it, it made sense.

"Is the competition for invitations next month very fierce?" Su Wei asked about something other than work.

Fang Zhuo looked at Teacher Xiao Su: "Have you heard anything?"

"I heard that you told the Li family to look at your face in Shanghai. Since you said so, wouldn't the competition be fierce this time?" Su Wei said her own logic.

However, Fang Zhuo was quite annoyed at the beginning of this inference: "I didn't, I never said such a thing at all, and I don't even know how it was spread... How can I let the richest Chinese man come to a place as big as Shanghai to do this?" Do you think my business depends on my face?"

Su Wei was surprised: "Really? Did you really not say anything?"

I don't know why, but I didn't feel it was against the grain when I heard this rumor. It seemed that it was not surprising that the boss said such a thing.

"I really didn't say, I don't know who was involved in the fire." Fang Zhuo frowned.

"What about the land for bidding next month?" Su Wei asked again.

"It's inevitable." Fang Zhuo replied immediately.

Su Wei: "..."

Fang Zhuo explained: "It's not because of looking at my face or anything like that. It's because Yongke needs to develop since it is involved in real estate. The land that was invited to bid this time is indeed in an excellent location and it is a normal business competition."

"No need to say so much, I believe it." Su Wei completely believed it.

Before they finished chatting about other things in the CEO's office, Fang Zhuo's cell phone vibrated again.

"Oh, Mr. Shen? Hello, hello."

"And Mr. Xu? Okay, let's have dinner together tonight."

Fang Zhuo ended the call with some confusion and looked at Su Wei and said, "It's Shen Nanpeng from Ctrip and Xu Xiaoping from New Oriental. They said they were in Shanghai and wanted to visit me. They were very polite. Ctrip seems to have gone public, right? These two people... …”

He guessed: "Are they here to invest in ice core? They invested a sum of ice core through IDG, and now they are asking me for explanation?"

Su Wei paid attention to the information about the second domestic company to be listed in the United States, and replied: "Ctrip was listed in the middle of the month. The issue price was 18 US dollars. The growth was very good. It should be about 32 US dollars now, and the market value should be 700 million. Dollar."

"It's not bad. Now our Chinese concept stocks are indeed going to recover in the U.S. stock market." Fang Zhuo was relieved. The company has such a listing performance, so he definitely won't care about a small amount of money.

"SMIC is about to go public, Shanda is doing a road show, and other companies like Tencent, 51Com, and KongZhong seem to have plans to go public." Su Wei gave the information, "There are many companies going public this year."

Fang Zhuo recited the name of the company and said: "So, the MIGA fund can indeed make a difference. Teacher Xiao Su, let's have dinner together tonight and show your loyalty to the two bosses."

Su Wei did not refuse and was curious about this sudden visit.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Shen Nanpeng from Ctrip and Xu Xiaoping from New Oriental arrived at the welcome banquet hosted by President Fang.

The two sides exchanged some pleasantries, because they had never met before, so Fang Zhuo did not hide his doubts.

"Mr. Shen, Mr. Xu, why did you come to see me this time? For the ice core? How much did you invest from IDG?"

The two CEOs who were interested in testing the investment waters looked at each other, and it was Shen Nanpeng who said: "Mr. Fang, Bingxin and I have invested a total of US$5 million, which is almost half of each other's net worth... It was Mr. Xu who persuaded me to invest."

Fang Zhuo nodded slightly, without saying he wanted to give up, and comforted: "It's not bad. Although Bingxin's current expectations are not particularly good, it is not without the possibility of success. I will try my best. Moreover, your investment strategy Okay, you still have half of your net worth. Investment is risky, but you still have a strategy."

Xu Xiaoping silently picked up a glass of wine and saluted: "Mr. Fang, the remaining half of my net worth bought Yike's stocks, and I still hold them. This is what Mr. Shen persuaded me to buy."

Fang Zhuo was stunned and looked at Shen Nanpeng and then at Xu Xiaoping. Bingxin bumped into him by himself, and you guys bought the stock on your own initiative...

First Xu persuaded Shen, then Shen persuaded Xu...

Are you two smart people taking revenge on each other?

He looked at the complicated and weird expressions of the two people, pondered for three seconds, and raised his glass: "Mr. Shen, Mr. Xu, don't say anything anymore. It's all in the wine. It's all in the wine. There will be many opportunities for cooperation in the future."

Clink glasses to each other.

Ctrip Shen Nanpeng and New Oriental Xu Xiaoping got their wish and had a drink with the richest man in the country.

An expensive glass of wine.
