Chapter 341 Shanghai Storm (Two in One)

In the last month of 2002, the whole of China was changing rapidly.

As the vanguard of reform and opening up, Shanghai's economic development and urban planning were in full swing, and the renovation of the old city of Dongbakuai in JA District had already benefited some people.

Lin Guoyong was one of them.

After graduating from college and working in the media for three years, he finally bought a car with his 20,000 yuan salary and part of the demolition compensation.

Lin Guoyong drove to and from work for two days, feeling the envious eyes of his colleagues, and he felt particularly happy. He carefully cleaned his car every morning and evening.

On December 18, Lin Guoyong, who was full of energy, went to the underground garage to drive to work as usual.

However, he just turned a corner and subconsciously looked at his car, and suddenly saw a fiery red sports car with elegant curves.

Lin Guoyong approached in astonishment, looked around and didn't see other neighbors, so he walked around twice to carefully examine the car he had never seen before.

Ferrari, Shanghai A·YK233.

How much does this car cost?

Lin Guoyong circled twice more, full of envy, wondering in his heart which neighbor's car it was.

He had never seen this sports car before.

Lin Guoyong admired it for two minutes, and when he got into his car, he suddenly found a problem. The Ferrari was parked too close to his car...

This is a big challenge for a novice driver with little driving experience.

Lin Guoyong was sweating while driving, fearing that he would scratch the shiny new Ferrari.

When he arrived at the unit, he immediately talked about what he saw today with great joy, and also checked the Internet and found out that the Ferrari was this year's latest limited edition Enzo.

Nearly six million Chinese yuan!

Lin Guoyong was greatly shocked.

However, in the next few days, he was very scared every time he parked and drove, and later he simply parked his car directly above the community.

On December 24, Lin Guoyong went to work as usual. In the afternoon, a colleague from another department suddenly came to visit him.

"Brother Lin, I heard that there is a Ferrari worth seven or eight million in your community?"

Seven or eight million? Isn't it five or six million?

Lin Guoyong replied in surprise: "Yes, there is one. It is parked in the underground garage of my community every day. What's wrong? Do you want to write about it?"

The colleague is in charge of the automotive media section, so it is not surprising that he came here.

"Yes, yes, there is no Ferrari in Shanghai yet, and I haven't heard of anyone in the mainland buying the latest Enzo, but there is a celebrity in Hong Kong named Aaron Kwok who bought one." Xiao Liu said excitedly, "Brother Lin, I'll go back with you after get off work in the evening and take some photos."

Lin Guoyong thought about it and said worriedly, "Will it offend people if I take photos of other people's cars like this? The people who buy this car must be rich or noble."

Xiao Liu laughed twice, "I won't take photos of the license plate. People have already bought the car, and they will definitely be seen as long as they drive it out. I will say that Shanghai has a Ferrari Enzo, and they will definitely not be angry."

Lin Guoyong thought it made sense. If they were afraid of being ostentatious, they probably wouldn't buy such a conspicuous sports car.

That night, the two car lovers took a lot of photos of Ferrari.

Two days later, "Auto World" published a news report, claiming that Shanghai had a global 399 limited edition Ferrari Enzo.

Soon, a curious person found out the license plate and found out who the car belonged to through the license plate - Fang Zhuo.

The president of Yike, Sina, Medical Science, and MIGA Private Equity!

Not long after, the news that Fang Zhuo in Shanghai bought a limited edition Ferrari spread in some small circles, and then reached the ears of those who were interested.

Xu Mingchang, the richest man in Shanghai, was a face-conscious person. He liked to show off and had dealt with a bunch of wealthy people in Hong Kong. He was quite upset when he heard people talking about the only Ferrari Enzo in the mainland on some occasions.

He had dealt with Fang Zhuo once, not long ago.

The other party tried to build a relationship with the leader and suppressed him because of a small matter.

Now, because of a Ferrari, some people even said that Fang Zhuo was the richest man in Shanghai!

Xu Mingchang couldn't stand it. This title was not only his proud honor, but also brought substantial benefits on many occasions.

For example, banks are always happy to lend money to a person with the title of the richest man.

Another example is that if you go to Hong Kong with such a title, you will always be treated with courtesy.

Xu Mingchang thought about it and gave up the idea of ​​buying a Ferrari, which would make him look even more embarrassed.

Before he could come up with a good way to suppress the other party, another unpleasant news came.

It is said that the upcoming Hurun Forbes ranking puts Fang Zhuo ahead of him!

Xu Mingchang was a little upset and couldn't help but ask the company's people to call Hurun to ask about the ranking.

As a result, the foreigner Hurun said that he was still sorting out and calculating the assets of the rich, and the list had not been released.

Xu Mingchang didn't say anything, but he was still indignant in his heart.

How did Fang Zhuo's reputation rise?

Didn't he just use funds from somewhere to control Sina?

He holds four listed companies and stirs up the Hong Kong and mainland stock markets. Isn't this better than Fang Ran?

Why do many people smack their lips about Fang Zhuo?

Xu Mingchang felt more and more uncomfortable thinking about the last time he dealt with her.

Soon, the opportunity for the two to meet came. The Shanghai government was going to hold an entrepreneur exchange meeting on the first day of 2003, and both Xu Mingchang and Fang Zhuo were on the list.

Xu Mingchang decided to have a good meeting with this person.

…

On December 30, Fang Zhuo, who had been in Beijing for nearly a month, returned to Shanghai with his team of CEO assistants.

During this period, Fang Zhuo hardly had time to relax while sorting out Sina's business, checking Sina's hotline, and paying attention to the development of the situation.

Sina is making rapid progress in its SP business, and its stock price also represents the rise of China's Internet industry.

However, Fang Zhuo did not feel very happy when he returned to Shanghai.

Whether it is official or public opinion, there is widespread concern and discussion about Yangcheng. However, everyone still regards it as an endemic disease.

Yangcheng, Guangdong Province, and Xiangjiang are undoubtedly quite large areas, but China is even bigger.

Fang Zhuo was quite worried, but there wasn't much he could do. He just continued to fill the warehouses in Mayong, Kunshan and Beijing. Even the company was a little bit shy about this.

There is no problem at the Mayong warehouse, and medical supplies have quietly entered the hospitals in need, but are Kunshan and Beijing worried too much?

Fang Zhuo suppressed this voice and still maintained attention to the situation.

"Dad, where is my mother?"

"Oh, what about that, Dad, tell my mother that I have set up a shop near the company, and you guys can come over and make a tea room or something like that later."

"That's it."

"If my mother has any objections, just say that this is the decision of the president of Sina, the president of Yike, the president of Medical Science, and the controllers of MIGA and PL funds."

The first thing Fang Zhuo did when he returned to Shanghai was to ask the company to buy a store not far downstairs, and then notify his family.

The small county town at home was not affected by the previous situation and was relatively safe, but this time Fang Zhuo felt that his parents and relatives should be around.

Even if they are not happy to live in a big city.

Anyway, come here first, and then talk about it if you really don’t like it.

The second thing Fang Zhuo did was to ask the medical group to contact the place where Yu Hong's father worked, intending to donate a batch of medical supplies there so that the other party would be prepared.

On the last day of December 2002, Fang Zhuo held separate meetings at Yike and Medical Branch to discuss the company's development over the year.

Yike's music player is booming, and iMusic will soon launch Sony Music's copyrighted songs. This new field is exciting and exciting.

The medical department is unique in the field of hospital software construction. With the help of the good relationship cultivated by the registration network and hospitals in various places, it has developed in a low-key manner, and it feels like "a diseased tree has a thousand springs ahead of it".

2002 was a harvest year for both Yike and Yike, and for Fang Zhuo personally, Sina's rising stock price was an extremely considerable fortune.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Fang Zhuo stood on the 23rd floor of Jin Mao Tower and looked out at the scenery. Not far away was the bustling financial center construction site, and a little further away stood the Oriental Pearl Tower quietly.

"Brother Fang, I heard that you are going to attend an entrepreneur exchange meeting tomorrow?"

Zhou Xin walked into the president's office and saw the boss smoking beside the floor-to-ceiling window.

"It was organized by the city. I originally refused, but Lao Qiu called me and asked me not to go." Fang Zhuo was a little helpless. He was worried about the development of the situation and was too lazy to attend any Laoshizi exchange meeting.

He stubbed out the cigarette and asked, "Do you want to go? Take you with me."

Zhou Xin quickly refused: "No, no, no, Brother Fang, hey, lend me your Ferrari to drive. It's New Year's Day holiday tomorrow, and I'll take Lan Yu to drive around."

Fang Zhuo was stunned, oh yes, he also has a Ferrari.

He thought about it again and said with a little hesitation: "I asked the company to get the license plate and put it... oh yes, it is placed in the garage of our community. When you go home at night, come to my place to get the key."

"What's the license plate?" Zhou Xin asked again.

"YK233." Fang Zhuo remembered this clearly.

Zhou Xin wondered: "YK, it's Yike, Yike, what does 233 mean? Brother Fang, that's a Ferrari! Why don't you get someone to get a license plate of 66666 or 88888?"

Fang Zhuo: "233."

Zhou Xin: "?"

"I hope there are not only two 23rd floors of Yike and Medical Branch, but more. The three at the end are just empty fingers." Fang Zhuo explained seriously.

Then, he remembered something. Sina's post function can add emoticons, allowing users to express their emotions more intuitively.

Zhou Xin reluctantly accepted this explanation, although Brother Fang's expression looked half-smiling.

"Be careful when driving tomorrow. Ferraris are faster." Fang Zhuo warned, and then said smoothly, "You and Lan Yu get along very well. I feel like you and her are getting more and more in tune with each other."

Zhou Xin smiled: "Except for her being a bit troublesome sometimes, well, everything is fine."

Fang Zhuo looked at the sweet expression on the vice president's face and chose to tell him to go out quickly. He still had documents to deal with.

In the blink of an eye, the New Year's Day came on January 1, 2003. Shanghai held a high-level entrepreneur exchange meeting, which was attended by the city's main leaders.

The big boss, the second boss, the deputy boss, and the heads of each district.

The leaders are very kind and enthusiastic. They care about the development of the company and want to promote more cooperation.

Shanghai's GDP is expected to reach RMB 540 billion in 2002. In order to pursue the RMB 620 billion target set for 2003 in the government report, enterprises will be given a heads up at the beginning of the new year.

During this period, each district in Shencheng also has its own goals, and there is still some competition between them.

Fang Zhuo attended the exchange meeting out of boredom, quietly grabbed a drink and avoided the busy place.

He didn't know why the self-service banquet format was popular in several meetings. He guessed that everyone might think it was very fashionable and open.

However, handsome men are like fireflies in the dark night, and handsome and rich men are like Fang Zhuo at the party. They are always difficult to avoid searching eyes.

"Mr. Fang, why are you not so positive?"

District Chief Qiu Di came to find his brother happily.

"How can I not be positive? I changed a drink and was just thinking about when to send tea to the district chief. I am very positive." Fang Zhuo made a joke.

Qiu Di laughed and took Fang Zhuo to introduce several entrepreneurs in Pudong New Area.

The Internet industry is a sunrise industry, but there are no famous companies in Shanghai.

As the president of an industry leader, Fang Zhuo's reputation is still a bit out of the circle.

Many people have heard of his name, but now they know that he is so young, and they can't help but feel that he is the next wave of the Yangtze River.

Fang Zhuo did not lose face for the leader. He could chat with people very warmly and was not stage fright at all.

After a circle, the business cards in his pocket maintained a dynamic balance.

He had just finished a social interaction and was dragged by his old leader to meet someone, but he never expected to meet someone he knew.

"This is Professor Chen Jin from Jiaotong University, a great talent who returned from overseas." Qiu Di introduced Chen Jin from the School of Microelectronics of Jiaotong University to Fang Zhuo.

"This is President Fang Zhuo of Yike Group, Professor Chen. Don't look at Mr. Fang's youth, he has the first Ferrari in Shanghai." Qiu Di showed his information without any taboos about the wealth of entrepreneurs.

Chen Jin smiled heartily and stretched out his right hand: "Director Qiu, Mr. Fang and I know each other. He has set up a scholarship in our Jiaotong University. You will definitely not guess the name of the scholarship."

Fang Zhuo shook hands with an inexplicable smile on his face.

Qiu Di was surprised. He didn't know there was such a scholarship.

Chen Jin smiled and announced the answer: "The name of the scholarship is 'I don't know who doesn't like semiconductors', hahahaha, Mr. Fang is a wonderful person."

Qiu Di didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but then he thought that the name coming from Fang Zhuo was very reasonable.

Fang Zhuo also laughed.

"Mr. Fang, it's great that you have met Professor Chen. Jiaotong University wants to invest in a semiconductor research company in our Pudong New Area and is looking for a partner." Qiu Di said with a smile, "You must be interested, right? After all, you even applied for a scholarship."

Old Qiu, you are still determined to join the CPPCC!

Fang Zhuo was a little speechless, looking at the old leader with an ambiguous look, and then looked at Professor Chen Jin with a smile on his face.

Good guy, I haven't even found you yet, and you're asking for money from me!

"Of course I'm interested. Semiconductors are the country's heavy weapons, so I must be interested."

Fang Zhuo smiled and gave the answer that both of them wanted.

This chapter has just been unsealed, and the name of the Shencheng character has been changed to Xu Mingchang.
