Chapter 410 Playing with Fire (Two in One)

Gu Zoujun was full of confidence at the reception and threatened to make Lang Xianping pay the price.

Then efforts were made from both the legal and public opinion levels, not only submitting the indictment to the Xiangjiang High Court, but also inviting experts from well-known economic research institutes.

Fang Zhuo can actually understand this person's idea, which is nothing more than using experts to treat experts.

Are you, Lang Xianping, a professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong? Then I will invite experts from institutions affiliated with the State Council.

You Lang Xianping criticized me in the media, but there are still scholars who support me in the media to win over.

Why would it be useful for you, Lang Xianping, to speak?

The experts I invited are more famous than you. Wouldn’t their words be more effective?

If a normal incident were handled this way, it might actually have some effects, but what Gu Zoujun and Greencool encountered were topics involving economic reform, and the debate between the two sides was escalating...

Can Lang Xianping be cowardly in this situation? Will you be timid?

He even wished that the four companies he had named and criticized would come forward and respond.

For example, Changhong, Haier, and TCL all dealt with the situation in a low-key manner. Haier briefly stated that "Haier is not a state-owned enterprise, but a collective enterprise and has no violations of any regulations." TCL said "no response," while Changhong quietly did not even say a word.

Greencool who dared to stand up in this situation...

He is a warrior!

He must be the target of the fire!

Guo*wuy sounds scary, but its full name also has a long part at the end, which is the so-called Institute of Enterprise Economics of the Development Research Center.

With such a name, Fang Zhuo was not sure whether this was an organization that was just trying to bluff people.

Anyway, even if it is true, this organization cannot suppress Lang Xianping, nor can it suppress Zhang Weiying and Zhou Qiren of Peking University. It will only arouse everyone's enthusiasm for debate.

Zhang Weiying and Zhou Qiren opposed Lang Xianping's remarks, and in disguise were siding with Greencool. But what Greencool needs now is not support, but cooling down.

On October 10, just as Gu Zoujun triumphantly faced the media again and said, "Many comments outside made me feel like I was in another world, as if I had returned to the 1960s... Now overnight, many economists think that I have no "issue", Lang Xianping held a media meeting at the office of the Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business in Beijing to publicly respond to Greencool's lawsuit.

"I will never change my opinion about Greencool and I will never apologize."

"Power cannot trample on academics."

As soon as this sentence came out, it immediately became the news headline on major portal websites.

It was Fang Zhuo. When he saw the title on Sina.com, he also admired it in his heart. Regardless of other aspects, speaking out on such a node is really the most powerful and resonant response.

That night, Sina launched a new campaign and invited netizens to vote for Greencool's Gu Zoujun on the public opinion war that has been going on for more than a week.

As a result, 90% of netizens believed that there must be a problem with Gu Zoujun, and 10% of netizens believed that there was no problem with Gu Zoujun.

When Fang Zhuo saw this survey on Sina near midnight, he couldn't help but burst out laughing. Shouldn't it be said that the public's eyes are sharp?

However, judging from this situation and trend, Changhong's Ni Runfeng may be relieved.

The next morning, when Fang Zhuo held his first meeting in Bingxin's office, he unexpectedly received a call from Gu Zoujun. The other party cheerfully said that the Anhui Provincial Entrepreneurs Federation wanted to visit Bingxin in the afternoon.

Gu Zoujun is the honorary president of this association, so there is no problem in contacting such corporate tours.

But is he still so leisurely at this time? Are you really that confident?

Fang Zhuo agreed in confusion.

He slightly adjusted his work arrangements, thought about it and decided to take this group of people to see the construction site.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Fang Zhuo welcomed the visiting team from the Anhui Provincial Entrepreneurs Federation. After exchanging business cards with pleasantries, he went straight to the ice core factory site in the suburbs.

Although Yongke Real Estate is new here, it has already begun to pile up building materials.

Bingxin's factory has technical requirements and requires careful construction, but the surrounding employee dormitories are ordinary buildings. Yongke Real Estate works first and then renews the certificate. Anyway, there is no obstacle in the suburbs.

Fang Zhuo stood next to the slightly messy building materials and described the plan of the wafer foundry for a group of provincial entrepreneurs, and also talked about its market situation for overseas sales.

There is a wasteland underfoot, but the investment is tens of billions.

Provincial leaders personally invited, and overseas markets are ready.

Fang Zhuo's boring introduction made a group of people stunned.

"Mr. Fang has courage and perseverance. If it were me, I would never dare to engage in semiconductors." Gu Zoujun took advantage of everyone to look around the unremarkable construction site and started chatting with Fang Zhuo with a smile.

You dare to die, so what else can you dare to do?

Fang Zhuo slandered and said: "It's just a business, and different fields are engaged in economic construction."

"Yes, Mr. Fang returned to Anhui Province this time to build the economy of his hometown." Gu Zoujun praised him repeatedly, and then said, "It is a blessing for Anhui Province to have entrepreneurs like Mr. Fang. Yesterday I was at the federation's meeting It says that Mr. Fang must come to Huili like this to live up to this name.”

"President Fang, this year you will be the vice president of the association, and next year you will have the title of honorary president."

Fang Zhuo didn't care about the federation. He smiled and said a few words of humility before settling on the matter.

After Gu Zoujun said this, he changed the subject and complained: "Mr. Fang, you know that we at Greencool have encountered some inexplicable attacks recently, which troubles me very much."

Fang Zhuo nodded, not quite understanding why Gu Zoujun mentioned this in front of him.

"Yesterday, you Sina also held a vote against me. Mr. Fang, do you know about this?" Gu Zoujun got to the point.

Fang Zhuo was stunned. So this trip was to blame?

The website was messed up, and the boss took the blame!

He frowned and said in surprise: "Is this true? Mr. Gu, I don't know."

Gu Zoujun observed the expression of the young president and confirmed that he really didn't know. He complained: "Mr. Fang, everyone knows that Sina is yours. This wave has made many people think that it is Mr. Fang who is targeting me."

"We are all members of the Anhui Provincial Enterprise Federation. We can't let the relatives suffer and the enemies rejoice."

Fang Zhuo was just verbally granted a membership, and in the blink of an eye he became a relative.

On the one hand, he felt amused and helpless, and on the other hand, he felt that it would not be unfair if something really happened to Gu Zoujun.

What is the most important thing now?

Is it to find the boss of a portal website to public relations a netizen voting activity?

Has Lang Xianping been settled? Have you made arrangements with the administration? Have you sorted out all the company accounts?

They don't even know how to grasp the main contradictions. It's really meaningless to make such a visit.

Fang Zhuo lowered his evaluation of Gu Zoujun in his heart and said thoughtfully: "Boss Gu, I really don't know about this matter. You also know that I have been in Luzhou recently. How about this, I will ask Beijing tonight to see what the situation is."

"I will not interfere with the normal operation of Sina. Boss Gu doesn't need to worry about this matter. You should try to calm down the main public opinion disputes now."

Gu Zoujun said calmly: "Isn't it to stabilize public opinion that I came to see Boss Fang?"

"The center of public opinion is not me." Fang Zhuo shook his head.

"One by one." Gu Zoujun said with a smile, "President Fang, give me some face, and the others give me some face, and this matter will slowly calm down."

"This is no longer a matter of face, President Gu, haven't you noticed that more and more people are involved in public opinion?" Fang Zhuo said a little impolitely, "At this time, speed is of the essence. If you can't make a final decision, you must be prepared to sacrifice the car to save the king."

Gu Zoujun stopped laughing and said stiffly, "It seems that President Fang's Sina is not unintentional."

"Hey."

Fang Zhuo couldn't help but sneer. He understood his current mentality. He wanted to comment on rough work when he saw it.

"President Gu, you are not telling me whether it is intentional or not. I am too lazy to get involved in public opinion." Fang Zhuo felt a little strange, "Believe it or not."

Gu Zoujun was suspicious.

Fang Zhuo didn't want to talk about this anymore and ended the chat unilaterally.

He clapped his hands to attract the attention of the visiting team. When everyone gathered together again, he smiled and said, "There's nothing to see at this construction site. When the ice core has an outline, everyone is welcome to visit."

"I'll provide dinner in the evening. After all, you've come here. Let's talk while having dinner. Today, let's talk about something formal. Let's talk about how I negotiated cooperation with Walmart in New York."

Fang Zhuo found a topic that could arouse interest and then asked everyone to get in the car.

However, the car was stopped not long after it drove.

Fang Zhuo rolled down the window of the business car, pointed to the newly painted road sign at the intersection, and said, "This road has just been renamed. It is now called Yuhu Road."

"Jade gourd?" Someone was surprised, "Are gourds planted nearby?"

Gu Zoujun said, "It's Yuhu, Yuhu in A Piece of Ice Heart in Yuhu, Yuhu Road."

When everyone heard this, the people who were blocked at the back stretched their heads forward to look at the road sign. It was indeed Yuhu in A Piece of Ice Heart in Yuhu.

The municipal government even changed the name of the road for this project...

Even though there were several rough guys in the car, they felt an indescribable Chinese romance at this moment.

This is not just a piece of ice core in a jade pot, it is simply a naked sincerity in the ice core.

"It is worthy of being the largest project in our province this year."

"Mr. Fang, our city and province really attach unprecedented importance to it!"

"When the ice core is completed, Mr. Fang must notify me, I have to come over to take a photo and take a group photo."

Almost everyone in the car was sincerely amazed and envious, the importance behind this small treatment is unparalleled.

Fang Zhuo learned the name of the road the day before yesterday, and he was a little complacent when he saw everyone's reaction at this moment. He laughed twice and raised the car window again: "The strength and sincerity of our province's investment promotion are good. Really, our Anhui Province is not a strong province. The more so, the more we need to work together."

The Forbes rich man made such a statement, and others naturally followed suit, and the atmosphere in the car was peaceful.

However, some people noticed that the attitude of Honorary President Gu Zoujun was quite different from before. He seemed to be a little uninterested after talking with President Fang. It was unknown what the two talked about.

The atmosphere during dinner time continued to be good. Fang Zhuo, who was wealthy, did not seem so difficult to approach. The company content he talked about was meaningful and almost immediately became the focus.

As the Honorary President who organized this tour, Gu Zoujun went out to answer a phone call halfway through the meal, and his face looked grim when he came back.

Fang Zhuo noticed this detail, but did not ask the other party what new situation he encountered.

When the host and guest had a good time, Fang Zhuo returned to the hotel room. He opened his notebook and took a look at the relevant news, and immediately guessed what news Gu Zoujun received.

——More than a dozen researchers from the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences jointly issued a statement to maintain academic independence and support Professor Lang Xianping.

I don’t know if the reputation of an institution like the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences can match the experts invited by Gu Zoujun.

Along with this most important news, there are also many professors and scholars who have responded to the pressure.

A quick calculation shows that in less than two weeks, almost all the heavyweight scholars in the Chinese economic community have expressed their own views, with clear positions and opposing each other. It can be said that this is the largest and most explosive debate in the economic theory community in the past 20 years.

Is this just talking about the reform of state-owned enterprises?

No.

What is this talking about?

Fang Zhuo fell into deep thought while staring at the laptop screen. That, that, experts, professors, and scholars, do you remember that at first it was just criticizing the possible problems of Changhong...

Now, almost no one mentions Changhong. Everyone is arguing about theories, and the example is Greencore.

This wave depends on whether Gu Zoujun can withstand it.

In such a turbulent economic theory and public opinion war, if you want to distinguish right from wrong, if you want to put a sentence or a comma, the simplest way is to check it.

Anyway, Gu Zoujun has already threatened that he is not afraid of the investigation, so the relevant departments will probably not be polite.

Fang Zhuo estimated the situation and suspected that the investigation faced by Gu Zoujun and Greencool would not last too long, but he was more concerned about Changhong's situation.

Everyone was concerned about whether there was any problem with Gu Zoujun, but he was the only one who was worried whether Mr. Ni was scared.

Soon, just two weeks after the public opinion debate, the joint investigation conducted by the securities regulatory bureaus of Guangdong, Jiangsu, Hubei and Anhui provinces was officially launched to investigate Greencool's use of Kelon Electric's funds and the acquisition of Meiling Electric.

Only one day later, the Shenzhen Stock Exchange and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange also announced that they would move into Kelon's headquarters to conduct a centralized review of financial issues.

Different provinces and exchanges reacted quickly, and almost all investigated Greencool and Gu Zoujun at the same time. If there is no higher-level will behind this... Fang Zhuo does not believe it.

Moreover, he is a little suspicious whether Gu Zoujun himself has been controlled.

Fang Zhuo did not try to verify this matter, but only planned to wait for the result of an event that is almost a high probability.

In the field of state-owned enterprise property rights reform, many things can only be done, not said, and once said, they are all wrong.

Gu Zoujun ordered Greencool and Kelon Electric to rush to the front without any sensitivity. His fate may have been inevitable from the beginning.

On October 15, in the middle of the month, a reporter came to Luzhou to visit Meiling, whose equity was acquired by Gu Zoujun in the public opinion dispute.

Just when they finished filming and interviewing and were about to buy plane tickets to return, they thought that since they were here, they might as well interview Fang Zhuo who was also in Luzhou.

Then, the reporter called Yi Ke to seek an interview with President Fang Zhuo and took a car to Bingxin's office.

This paragraph is basically from the historical facts of the turbulent thirty years.
