Chapter 343 Things Are Happening

The richest man in Shanghai came and went in a hurry.

Fang Zhuo could see his displeasure at the end, but he was also puzzled by this displeasure.

Everyone was just exchanging pleasantries, but suddenly his face changed. What was going on?

Fang Zhuo thought back to his conversation with this person and confirmed that they were all normal greetings, so why was he angry?

Could it be that he could hear his own voice and know what I was saying about him? No, otherwise he wouldn't have fallen to the point of being imprisoned.

Could it be that he was still thinking about the little thing last time? No, it was just a one-sentence order for the richest man, so why would he still remember it until now?

Fang Zhuo was puzzled. It couldn't be because he had healthy limbs, was eloquent, had an ID card on him, and a driver's license in his car.

He was puzzled, thinking about it, and finally figured out a reason when he saw Lao Qiu.

Maybe this richest man Xu witnessed him digesting Professor Chen Jin's semiconductor achievements under Lao Qiu's help today? Richest man Xu also wanted to contribute to the development of the country's high-tech industry?

After all, semiconductor projects can have a huge reputation, and even Lao Qiu is eager to get a share of it.

Fang Zhuo slowly sipped half a glass of red wine. After being dragged by Lao Qiu to meet several local entrepreneurs, he casually talked to the old leader about his previous experience.

Qiu Di has already facilitated several good project cooperation today. He is in a good mood and said half-jokingly: "Isn't he offending you, Mr. Fang?"

Fang Zhuo: "...Not really."

"Don't you hold Sina, a public opinion tool in your hand?" Qiu Di said meaningfully, "He is a real estate businessman, and you called me to report the violation before. If I were him, I would have to pay attention to your Sina's digging reports. This person has a capital chain..."

Lao Qiu is not a second-time CPPCC member!

No matter how Fang Zhuo thought about Sina, or the use of public opinion on Hanxin and milk powder, he just smiled bitterly and said, "District Head Qiu, you are too kind."

Qiu Di laughed twice and praised, "Mr. Fang, your registration website has been doing well recently. I talked about it with the Health Bureau during a meeting two days ago."

Fang Zhuo accepted the praise and silently gave a gift: "District Head Qiu, I will give you four pots of orchids in two days."

Now it was Qiu Di's turn to be confused: "?"

But he didn't worry about it, knowing that he couldn't think as fast as this young man, nodded, and smiled: "Come on, I'll take you to meet foreign businessmen. I see that your company likes to be on the 23rd floor. In two years, let the foreign businessmen reserve a floor 23 for you in the financial center."

"Hahaha, then I'll change my name to Fang 23 in the future." Fang Zhuo laughed.

"If you change your name, I'll ask the household registration department to speed it up for you." Qiu Di said.

"District Head Qiu, I'll give you six pots of orchids." Fang Zhuo likes leaders who can joke, so he must cherish them.

Qiu Di was really surprised: "Why?"

"Orchids are better placed at home." Fang Zhuo replied.

Qiu Di heard what he meant and laughed: "Do you still believe this?"

Fang Zhuo looked at the old leader, who didn't believe it at first...

The New Year's Day entrepreneur exchange meeting was lively. The leaders cared about the development of enterprises, promoted enterprise cooperation, implemented enterprise projects, and gave enterprises preferential treatment.

In general, everyone was happy.

Under the leadership of the old leader, Fang Zhuo met a group of people and talked about three or four intentions, including semiconductor projects, hospital software construction cooperation, and foreign private equity funds landing in the new district.

Even, Lao Qiu directly asked if there was any interest in real estate.

Fang Zhuo refused without much hesitation.

What kind of real estate is there? What's good about real estate? I will never do real estate in my life.

At the end of this exchange meeting, Fang Zhuo and Professor Chen Jin exchanged opinions and planned to talk about semiconductor cooperation companies on the weekend.

The returned professor was very knowledgeable and confident, and he also said that the Hanxin project was about to have a major breakthrough.

This made Fang Zhuo, who was leaving and returning home, a little confused. Speaking of Hanxin, it was obviously a matter that could be easily exposed. How could he jump like this?

Was he really so confident that everything was foolproof? Did he not consider the possible accountability after the failure?

Fang Zhuo did not use the past to judge the current situation. After thinking about it from another perspective, he still felt that the risk faced by this overseas professor was too great.

If he were to do it himself... cough...

As he thought about it, he suddenly felt something in his mind. He called his assistant in the car and gave an order: "Xiao Wang, help me check Professor Chen Jin's overseas resume."

Well, after all, if they want to cooperate, it is not too much to do a background check.

...

After the New Year's Day holiday, many matters in 2003 were like turning on the valve.

What Fang Zhuo should pay most attention to recently is the secret contact between Wang Yan of Sina and Yangcheng Xunlong. This company has a certain scale and strength. According to feedback, it is also willing to sell the company.

Therefore, it has become a feasible thing to stimulate the stock price with it.

However, just when Sina was trying to acquire and cooperate, the performance of NetEase's "Westward Journey Online 2" continued to be reported, which stimulated the Nasdaq stock price first.

Among the three major portals during this period, Sina had the fastest growth, followed by Sohu, and NetEase was at the bottom.

A very important reason for this is that NetEase was suspended due to financial problems.

Now, the popularity of "Westward Journey Online 2" has directly stimulated NetEase's stock price as a major positive, allowing it to successfully surpass Sohu in the first few days of 2003.

It also helped Sina raise its price.

"A Chinese Odyssey 2" is a big hit, good news for Sina.

The logical relationship here is that according to MIGA private equity feedback, a portal website that is second only to Sina has such potential, and as a representative of the industry, Sina must also rise.

On January 5, 2003, Sina closed at $13.63, NetEase at $9.87, and Sohu at $7.90.

That night, Fang Zhuo received a call from New York at home.

It was from Tongwandou.

"Mr. Fang, you support us, right?" Tongwandou Fan Xiong said straightforwardly.

Fang Zhuo estimated the meaning of this expression and replied: "I support all choices to safeguard their legitimate demands."

"Mr. Fang, I think the Anliang Chamber of Commerce has a great injustice in the distribution of benefits." Fan Xiong said, "The Li family took too much, and we took too little. The families of some of my injured brothers have not been well taken care of. This is very unfair."

Fang Zhuo quietly listened to some ideas from Tong Wandou. There was not much he could do. He just expressed his support: "The MIGA fund has a good growth trend and has seriously exceeded the original expectations of the Li family. I am sure that the Li family will continue to invest money in it."

"If you propose to divide the money at this time, the MIGA fund will not make an immediate delivery in accordance with the provisions of the contract."

"But my people in New York must be protected."

Tong Wandou Fan Xiong decided to follow Mr. Fang's instructions and slightly modify the planned time. He did not want to eliminate the Li family, but felt that since the Li family wanted to whitewash, then the Anliang Association could not be decided by them.

Let the white be white, and let the Anliang Association belong to the brothers.

...

January 6, evening.

Judy went home after get off work.

Then, he saw the eight pots of orchids with good appearance that his family received, and fell into deep thought.

Why is Fang Zhuo so superstitious!

This is too much!
