Reinventing the Millennium

Zhou Kaixuan's sudden attack surprised Fang Zhuo.

He was a little confused as to whether this person was fighting for Li Jiacheng. After all, she was not only a director of Li Fund, but also his confidante.

If it really represents Li Jiacheng, then... that would be a bit disappointing.

In Fang Zhuo's mind, Li Jiacheng would be a master of Qi-nurturing skills. How could he break his defense just because of an investment deal?

Yes, although there are some frictions in Shanghai's real estate market, those are things in the past, victory or defeat has been decided, and both sides should laugh.

Yes, although there are some nodding rumors circulating in East China, no one really believes these rumors, right?

Yes, if you have to change yourself, you definitely can’t bear it.

But, you are Li Jiacheng, you are not like Xiong Xiaoge, Zhang Hongli, or Dahuang!

In this way, it can almost be concluded that Zhou Kaixuan walked alone!

"Mr. Fang, I saw the online news from China Securities Journal. How do you handle this matter?"

The news spread quickly, and even Su Wei, who was based in Shanghai, called quickly.

Fang Zhuo did not ask questions immediately, but instead asked: "Where are you?"

"In the office on the 22nd floor." Su Wei felt confused.

"You go to the president's office upstairs." Fang Zhuo said seriously.

Su Wei was even more confused, but she still went upstairs.

When you walk into the President's Office of Hang Lung 23, you will see four big characters shining brightly on the wall as soon as you enter the door - Be kind to others!

She held her cell phone and said in a dumbfounded voice, "It seems you are really not in a hurry, and you are still thinking about this."

"What's the rush? If Mount Tai collapses in front of you, your face won't change. If you triumphantly call my name and be kind to others." Fang Zhuo said with a smile, "It's more or less stealing someone's business. It's normal to vent your emotions. Just wait and see how things get better." ”

Su Wei stared at the inscription in the CEO's office and nodded.

However, just when Fang Zhuo sincerely expressed his stance of "being kind to others", Zhou Kaixuan was not idle.

After being interviewed by China Securities Journal, she was interviewed by reporters again, and once again talked about the strategic investment of Bank of China, the private equity nature of MIGA funds, and once again named Fang Zhuo.

Zhou Kaixuan has always been a very capable person. He has managed many projects and is actually in charge of TOM.com. Now he is quite fearless and willing to make things big.

Li Jiacheng still did not show up to express his position. Seeing this situation, Fang Zhuo, although he suspected that Ms. Zhou would no longer walk alone, remained patient and wanted to see how the situation would develop.

However, Fang Zhuo wanted to stop quietly, but other people involved in cooperation couldn't sit still.

What does the surname Zhou mean?

What does the surname Li mean?

They didn't think too much, or in other words, after thinking a lot, they still thought they needed to stand up and clear Mr. Fang's name. Even if the other party behind him might be the richest man in China, even if he was the richest man in China, if he wanted to smash the market, he would have to rush in and get rid of him. Two big mouths.

Interests are related, interests are related!

If you, Zhou and Li, want to touch Mr. Fang at this time, you are in trouble with me!

First, President Li, the head of the Bank of China, who is dedicated to his job and presided over the work despite being ill, stood up and responded.

He was shocked and angry after hearing about Zhou Kaixuan's criticism of President Fang, MIGA Fund, and Bank of China. Seeing that the mess in front of him was gradually turning around, Zhou Kaixuan came out to cause trouble this week?

President Li found familiar media and spoke out to Zhou Kaixuan on behalf of the parties concerned: "Ms. Zhou please explain clearly the cooperation between Li Fund and Royal Bank of Scotland before criticizing MIGA Fund!"

"The Bank of China previously only cooperated with the Royal Bank of Scotland. It has never, ever cooperated with the Lijiacheng Foundation."

"We at the Bank of China don't know the nature of the Lijiacheng Foundation, how it signed the contract with the Bank of England, and why Ms. Zhou jumped out and made such nonsense immediately after the regulator stopped cooperation!"

He reiterated the standards of the Bank of China: "After experiencing Temasek and Royal Su, the Bank of China will only treat strategic cooperation more cautiously and strictly, and will carefully select partners to move forward together. The Bank of China and I are willing to accept the supervision of all parties in society!"

"We will neither favor any potential collaborator, nor will we abandon our standards just because of Ms. Zhou's few words. Please take care of yourself!"

President Li's words are not without harshness, and his attitude is not without firmness.

…

Secondly, Paulson, the head of Goldman Sachs who is old and strong and has cooperated with Mr. Fang one after another, stepped forward to respond.

His visit to China this time was not only to finalize the cooperation with ICBC, but also to collect the achievements of Bank of China.

Although the two hedge funds were secretly driven by Paulson, he was frightened when he saw the Chinese regulatory authorities calling a halt. He felt that it would not be considered a success until the last step.

Therefore, when Paulson saw Zhou Kaixuan suddenly jumping out, he was afraid that this woman would do something bad and cause a chain reaction of supervision. He immediately called the Wall Street media and kept the interviews in Chinese and English online simultaneously.

“I saw attacks from competitors Fang Zong and MIGA Fund.”

"Obviously, this is a deliberate attempt to confuse people."

"As a director of a well-known foundation, how could Ms. Zhou not be able to tell the difference between a hedge fund and a private equity fund?"

"Mr. Fang and his company have always been high-quality partners of Goldman Sachs. I admire Mr. Fang very much. He has excellent business capabilities and a keen sense of the market. He is not only accomplished in the Internet, but also studied a lot in semiconductors. deep."

"I don't think Mr. Fang should be allowed to suffer inexplicable infamy."

"I also think that Ms. Zhou should probably focus on her TOM Network, and hope that Goldman Sachs will one day become TOM Network's IPO partner."

Paulson praised Mr. Fang and naturally mentioned TOM.com, which had suspended its listing.

…

Then Hu Zuliu, an eloquent and well-paid economist, took the initiative to accept an interview with the China Securities Journal.

As the former chief economist of the World Economic Forum in Davos and a former member of the International Monetary Fund, he specifically commented on the failure of the cooperation between the Bank of China and the Royal Bank of Scotland.

"The Royal Bank of Scotland won the cooperation with the Bank of China, and it should be held responsible for this."

"As a well-known commercial bank in Europe, it watched helplessly as Merrill Lynch distributed its investment in Bank of China to two hedge funds. This is extremely against the industry's tacit understanding and should be condemned."

"People in the industry should know how humiliating it is for hedge funds to suddenly become shareholders before a bank's IPO."

“When we look at past financial crises, we often see hedge funds charging into the fray.”

"The suspension of cooperation with such a highly speculative fund is undoubtedly due to financial security considerations. It is not a matter of one bank, but a symbolic event for the entire Chinese financial market."

"As for the Lijiacheng Foundation, it is said that it does not cooperate directly with Bank of China, so it is affected by the situation."

"Objectively speaking, even if we cannot provide direct business cooperation with well-known banks like Deutsche Bank, we should actively look for partners that are beneficial to local banks like the MIGA Fund."

"I have not seen similar efforts by the Lijiacheng Foundation from the information disclosed so far."

“Cooperation with banks cannot be measured solely in terms of capital.”

"MIGA funds are doing well."

"I am not familiar with Ms. Zhou. I have only seen her give two media interviews and the accusations are biased at the very least."

Hu Zuliu talked about financial security objectively and fairly.

…

Then, Sina Finance, who knew that his boss would rather attend networking events with colleagues than visit the company, wrote an article directly, describing the causes and consequences of this incident. By the way, he also talked about why Zhou Kaixuan's TOM website failed to go public.

In addition, the manuscript also slightly touches on the issue of Lijia Real Estate’s undiscussed market cover in the Mainland.

"The Bank of China is the victim of this incident. If there is no supervision to stop it, it is likely to suffer a dumb loss."

“The Royal Bank of Scotland did not conduct strict screening when raising funds, nor did it conduct due diligence to define the behavior of its collaborators. This is the core reason for this incident. The pursuit of profits by Merrill Lynch at the next level is clearly the result of Indifference to domestic banking interests.”

"This kind of disregard was met with an unexpected backlash from Merrill Lynch, and Zhou Kaixuan, who came forward, was the party implicated in this backlash."

"It's not surprising that she called out Fang Zhuo because her interests were harmed, and she even called out to more people."

"In fact, it may not be the first time Zhou Kaixuan has had a conflict with Fang Zhuo."

"Zhou Kaixuan has always wanted to be labeled as a strong woman. She seems to not want the world to only remember her as Li Jiacheng's confidante. However, TOM.com, which had placed great hopes on her, was cut off from the market."

"Why did TOM fail to go public? This is because its too-single SMS value-added service suffered from industry self-discipline and higher-level supervision, and lost the driving force for its wild growth."

"TOM.com, which is famous for its scale, once announced the goal of becoming the fourth largest portal website, but now it can only struggle with poor transformation."

"It is difficult for Zhou Kaixuan to label herself as a strongman, but she can still rely on Li Jiacheng, a strongman, to launch influential accusations against another business leader."

"What's darkly humorous is that if it weren't for Li Foundation's status as a director, and if it weren't for Li Jiacheng behind her, her words would probably not have made it to the media, let alone reach Fang Zhuo's ears."

"On the one hand, Ms. Zhou wants to get rid of those labels, but on the other hand, she enjoys the wonderful functions of labels with peace of mind."

"Perhaps, Ms. Zhou is a loyal reader of Romain Rolland. She has recognized the truth of life and still loves it."

…

Subsequently, what was unexpected was that Shanghai Pudong Development Bank also came out to support the MIGA fund.

It solemnly stated to the media: "MIGA Fund is the operating entity of the third domestic securities trust plan. Together with Shanghai Pudong Development Bank and Shanghai Trust, it has launched the 'MIGA China Collective Fund Trust Plan' on an exploratory basis."

"Shanghai Trust is the issuer, Shanghai Pudong Development Bank is the fund custodian, and MIGA Fund is hired by Shanghai Trust to manage the funds. It is the first sunshine private equity company in Shanghai to have regulatory filings."

"So far, the performance of MIGA funds has been excellent and has brought satisfactory returns to customers."

"We hope that the MIGA fund will not be stigmatized, and we also hope that it will continue to shine in the domestic financial market."

Along with the Shanghai Pudong Development Bank's statement, people like IDG Xiong Xiaoge, Shenxin Technology Wang Fengyi and others also believed that the kind-hearted Mr. Fang should not be smeared and attacked, or accepted interviews with the media, or spoke out on Sina blog, and were not afraid of the name of the richest Chinese man. head.

In just two days, Zhou Kaixuan didn't even hear a single word from Fang Zhuo, as if he had gone through a fierce storm.

However, that wasn't what really hit her hard.

After the cooperation was suspended, the Royal Bank of Scotland not only worked hard through Lijiacheng, but also tried other powerful channels to try to get back the piece of fat meat of the Bank of China, including but not limited to some administrative level exchanges.

In the end, after witnessing public criticism of the Bank of England, Merrill Lynch, Li Fund Management and Zhou Kaixuan, the leaders at the regulatory level belatedly came to a conclusion.

——For financial security reasons, the cooperation between Royal Su and Bank of China was suspended.

Be concise and to the point, without wavering.

This means the complete elimination of Royal Bank of Scotland, two hedge funds, and the Lijiacheng Foundation.

The last hope was completely shattered.

Zhou Kaixuan was looking at Sina Finance on his laptop screen in the hotel, his teeth clenching.

"You touched the cake of many people. Fang Zhuo has already weaved an interest network involving many people in the mainland." Li Jiacheng sighed while drinking tea in the living room of the suite.

He acquiesced to Zhou Kaixuan's actions in the media, but the effect was not good.

"This is too much bullying, too much bullying!" Zhou Kaixuan was very angry, "Li Sheng! Fang Zhuo is so arrogant! Not only does he drive these people to attack me, but he also wants to discredit you!"

Li Jiacheng nodded slightly: "This person is indeed arrogant and domineering."

When Zhou Kaixuan saw that Li Sheng said the same thing, he immediately sat down next to him, held his arms and said, "This won't work. I can't allow him to do this to you!"

She asked again: "What should I do? What should I do?"

Li Jiacheng was silent. He was not a god. The situation of Bank of China was set this time. Looking at it now, the hedge funds that Merrill Lynch cooperated with earlier may have been passive.

Just as he was thinking, Zhou Kaixuan's cell phone rang.

"Hello, hello, are you Director Zhou? I'm a reporter from Sina Finance, can I do an interview with you?" The caller introduced himself, as if he was from Sina.

Zhou Kaixuan raised his eyebrows, and blurted out all the wind, rain and anger in the past two days: "Fuck you, let the person named Fang have the guts to come to Xiangjiang!"

After she said this, she dropped her phone with a bang.

The Nokia was very solid and was spinning on the floor.

Li Jiacheng frowned and said nothing. He was in a confused state of mind and it was not appropriate to show his face.

Half a day later, Sina Finance launched the news.

——"Ms. Zhou yelled angrily and sincerely invited Mr. Fang to go to Xiangjiang"

That night, Sina Finance interviewed the boss again, but again he didn't get much content, so he had to text the truth.

——"Mr. Fang: I'm going crazy, wait to bury me"
