Chapter 499 Expensive (Two in One)

Hu Zhengda went to Pengcheng to look for preferential investment policies and investment intentions from institutions. Although it was a bit unexpected for Fang Zhuo, it was not a big deal.

As Lao Xiong said, this person does not want to be tied down, so let him try the hardship of starting a business and finding money.

As TSMC's vice president of marketing, Hu Zhengda is naturally respected wherever he goes in the industry with such a position and resume. But without the TSMC signboard, he jumped into a relatively unfamiliar field, purely from the perspective of an investment business project...

It's not that Fang Zhuo deliberately made things difficult for him, but this project is indeed not easy to be optimistic about.

IC design is different from manufacturing and processing, and it is considered light assets, but this is also a comparison between the two. For investors, this is really not a hot spot for investment.

If he really takes off the bonus of TSMC and truly operates IC design as an entrepreneur, Hu will experience the warmth provided by Fang Zhuo and the indifference of other investors.

It's called a tie, can it be tied with a rope? There is naturally an interaction of interests and a trade-off between each other.

For example, Mr. Xiong, whose IDG is a shareholder of Bingxin, provides funds, resources and convenience to Bingxin, and Fang Zhuo also provides him... gives him hope.

Hope is the most beautiful thing in the world.

Anyway, weighing each other, I believe that Mr. Hu can make the wisest entrepreneurial choice.

Fang Zhuo stayed in Luzhou for one more day. Although Secretary-General Luo Minhua talked about personal friendship, he was not vague about official business. The next day, he invited the chairman of Bingxin to attend the city's symposium to listen to the difficulties encountered in the development of the enterprise and discuss whether there are any solutions.

Basically, every time Fang Zhuo comes to Luzhou, there will be a similar meeting, whether it is a symposium or a key project exchange meeting, the leaders are always caring.

However, these current concerns are piecemeal. The main contradiction of Bingxin at the current stage is the approval of other countries for technology introduction and equipment procurement.

Only by solving this main contradiction can the care of leaders, administrative help, production chain layout, engineers' ambitions, etc. come together to push Bingxin forward, forward, and forward again.

Fang Zhuo did not mention this at the meeting. He planned to consider the next step after the US trip had a phased result.

On the 31st, the last day of May, Fang Zhuo and his party left Luzhou and went to Shanghai. They planned to fly to New York after a brief inspection.

However, the affairs of Shanghai delayed Fang Zhuo's pace again.

Today, the routine affairs of a few companies alone are enough to overwhelm Fang Zhuo's time, so he requires himself and senior management to make only one or two correct decisions within a few days.

Fang Zhuo talked about Sony's experience and lessons in an interview before. The biggest cost of an enterprise is the decision-making cost. Other factors such as financing interest and personnel bonuses are not important compared with decision-making.

If the decision of the senior management is wrong, the subsequent series of processes will go in the wrong direction.

Based on this cognition, not to mention Sina, which has its own mature operating mechanism, he has delegated a high degree of power to Yike, Yike, and Yongke. Except for important and urgent decisions, he generally only pays attention to regular weekly reports.

In addition, the conception and changes of Yike products are also given a relatively high priority.

Therefore, when Fang Zhuo was asked by Liu Suyi, the president of Yongke, to attend the cooperation meeting, he was helpless.

Yongke Real Estate took advantage of the momentum of bidding for Zhuyuan 2-3 and 2-4 plots. Liu Suyi persuaded several shareholders one after another and successfully completed the merger and acquisition, turning them from partners to colleagues, and he, the executor, naturally became the president of the company.

This inevitably borrowed Mr. Fang's name and background. Liu Suyi knew that Mr. Fang had little interest in real estate and just wanted to draw blood to support his own son Bingxin, but others didn't know.

In particular, this time in Shencheng and Li Changshi's bidding, many rumors from the outside world speculated that Mr. Fang might have been internally determined, and it might be that Cheung Kong and Yongke joined forces to play a show.

There are also rumors that Mr. Fang just didn't get along with the Li family, and used means to get a quote from Cheung Kong and suppress it.

No matter what the rumors are, Mr. Fang, who entered the real estate industry by copying other people's projects, is not easy to mess with.

In this way, Yongke Real Estate successfully completed the merger and acquisition and became a real estate tycoon in East China.

At the same time, Yongke is determined to develop the Zhuyuan plot together with Bailian Group, which has also been reorganized not long ago, further consolidating its image in the real estate industry in Shanghai and even East China.

Liu Suyi heard that President Fang was back in Shanghai, and came here eagerly to invite this patron to attend the signing ceremony of the cooperation with Bailian Group, and then there will be inevitable dinner parties.

He wanted to use the appearance of the richest man in the mainland to discuss another real estate cooperation with Yongke.

Fang Zhuo listened to President Liu's request without any emotional fluctuations, and wanted to refuse it as soon as he opened his mouth. From the perspective of his position, it was enough for the president of Yongke to attend, and he didn't have to make this trip himself.

Liu Suyi observed his expression and immediately said affectionately: "Boss Fang, I've been under a lot of pressure recently."

Fang Zhuo: "Hmm?"

"After Yongke completed the merger, the scale increased all of a sudden. I am trembling with fear, afraid of making any mistakes." Liu Suyi said seriously, "Because Boss Fang said last time that my sweat is worth a 100 million increase in price, people outside now call me Liu Yiyi, and I am also afraid of making mistakes and losing Boss Fang's face."

Fang Zhuo said, "Not really."

"Really, Mr. Fang, I just want to do everything you asked me to do well, and I want to be able to support our brother companies in two years. Although I don't understand semiconductors, I also know that they are an important weapon of the country. I can do it in Yongke." My whole life will be worth it if I do something more meaningful to the country!" Liu Suyi said with emotion, and his eyes were filled with tears at the end.

Fang Zhuo was shocked, has this... passed?

He stared at Liu Yiyi's eyes, looked at his left eye, then his right eye, and saw two words from the crystal tears - progress.

In the past, Mr. Liu's attitude was actually quite upright. Since the establishment of Yongke, he has become more and more... progressive.

Although it's a bit pretentious, it doesn't matter who you are in front of.

Faced with a person who actually controls his position and resources, he seems not to be afraid of the leader seeing the attitude of his subordinates.

Fang Zhuo changed his mind and said in a casual mood: "I understand Mr. Liu's mood. Although Chairman Zhang Xinsheng of Bailian Group is a bit serious, I have said hello to him."

"The cooperation between Yongke and Bailian is mutually beneficial in every sense. After their reorganization, they need a typical real estate development, and we also need to draw on their commercial real estate experience."

"Mr. Liu, since I elected you as president, I have confidence in you."

Liu Suyi said quickly: "Mr. Fang, the Zhuyuan land includes the development of commercial real estate. It is something that we Yongke should learn more about and pay attention to. Bailian definitely hopes that Mr. Fang will be present. Our Yongke M&A Several employees also look forward to seeing Mr. Fang taking charge of the overall situation.”

Fang Zhuo sighed: "You guys, you really have to drag me around for two days every time I go somewhere."

Going from Lin'an to Luzhou can be said to be a private matter. Going from Luzhou to Shanghai and from Shanghai to New York is really uncomfortable without delay.

Liu Suyi's smile seemed honest and honest - although this kind of emotion would seem particularly inappropriate on the face of a real estate CEO like him, Fang Zhuo knew that he would definitely not look like this in front of other people.

"Tell Bailian to give me a list of the leaders who showed up at the dinner, so that I won't be confused and embarrass you, President Liu." Fang Zhuo said.

Liu Suyi responded excitedly.

Mr. Fang is the face and core of Yongke. With him appearing on the platform, many things will be difficult to do. Although he is the president, he still feels a little uncomfortable when facing the head of Bailian Group who does not know whether he is present or not. Not good in portion.

As expected, Liu Suyi got it right, and Bailian heard the news that Mr. Fang was attending, and immediately determined that Chairman Zhang Xinsheng would show up.

Bailian Group is a state-owned enterprise and has a lot of procedural attitude.

Liu Suyi has experienced this very deeply recently, and he has increasingly understood the secret of hugging the right thigh.

When Yongke was first established, Mr. Fang used money to control Yonghe Real Estate. He did not expect this scene at that time. The reluctance he felt at that time has turned into what he is now - I was appointed by Mr. Fang. Liu Yiyi.

…

As the chairman, I attended signing meetings with cooperative companies, accepted media interviews, and went to dinner parties to socialize.

There's nothing Fang Zhuo can't handle.

The first two days of June were spent in such a busy way.

As the news emerged that the richest man in the Mainland attended the signing event, Fang Zhuo, who had not yet left his job, received another interview request from CCTV.

This time, even though his old friend, producer Hu Meng, introduced him, Fang Zhuo still clearly refused, one after another. If this continued, he would be delayed until July before flying to New York.

On June 4, after listening to the performance of Yike Huaxia Market, Fang Zhuo set off to board the plane. This trip was to see the results of Sports Breaking the Circle.

He didn't bring many people with him. He still had a secretary and two assistants, and the four of them went to New York.

When the passenger plane was flying in the sky, secretary Zhao Zhishan watched in surprise as her boss took out a book "Logistics Engineering and Supply Chain Management" from her bag. She couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Fang, aren't you going to read the newspaper today?"

Although Zhao Zhishan has only been working as a secretary for a short time, he also knows that his boss’s habit of flying is to read recent newspapers.

"Don't worry, I'll take a look at the textbook they gave me first to see how to manage a ship." Fang Zhuo said casually.

Zhao Zhishan rolled his eyes. He had heard his boss mention the major studied by Tao Shuyao whom he met in Lin'an. Unexpectedly, his boss actually received a book from someone in Shanghai.

what is this? Love teaching materials?

Not so much...

Zhao Zhishan couldn't figure out his boss's thoughts, so he glanced out of the corner of his eye and found that he was really reading seriously.

She continued to glance, but she didn't see any love letters written in the book.

Does the boss like it or not?

Zhao Zhishan did not dare to bring trouble on this kind of issue, so he read the newspaper prepared for his boss, hoping that the boss could exchange a few words with him while reading it.

She was a little distracted at first, but her attention was attracted after turning two pages.

——As Sina enters the blog business and plays a big role in the "celebrity business", its abundant funds and mature experience immediately show that it is more efficient than Blog China, causing this competitor that introduced the blog concept from abroad to lose ground.

——However, although with the popularity of Sina blog, netizens all know the English word "blog", but we still have not discovered where the profit model of this business will go?

——I think this is also the reason why NetEase and Sohu are ready to make moves but have no end.

This is the newspaper's evaluation of Sina Blog's business. Blog China is obviously no match for Sina Blog. The situation of the two sides fighting can even be described as a rout. The former's slogan of "catching up with Sina" turned into a joke after Sina entered the market.

Zhao Zhishan also thought about the profit direction.

She thought as she scrolled down, intentionally looking for news about Sina.

As the leader of domestic portal websites, Sina's trends are still relatively concerned by the industry. Even though everyone is more excited about the concept of "e-commerce" because of the Internet industry development conference at the end of last month, Sina's entry in another direction has also attracted the attention of interested people. arrive.

——According to people familiar with the matter, Sina has successfully won the agency rights for a game from a foreign game company and is expected to introduce it domestically in the near future.

——In the gaming field where NetEase, Sohu, and Shanda have achieved great results, Sina finally seems to be unable to sit still. This is its first action after watching its competitors surpass itself.

——Compared to Sina's hard work in the content field, which allowed it to defeat Blog China, can the completely unfamiliar game field continue the company's strength?

——The agency rights this time are said to have been won at an astonishing price. Another competitor is the Ninth City Company, which represents "Miracle MU".

——Our reporter called Sina and received no response yet, but Sina’s entry into games will undoubtedly add powerful players to this hot market.

Zhao Zhishan read it again and didn't see what kind of game it was in the newspaper.

She took a look and found that her boss was drinking water, and asked, "Mr. Fang, does Sina want to introduce games?"

"Yeah, Blizzard's "World of Warcraft."" Fang Zhuo thought of Dayao, who seemed to like playing this too.

Zhao Zhishan handed the newspaper to the boss and said with a smile: "The reporter said it was an astonishing price?"

Fang Zhuo knew about this. Sina's assistant conveyed the company's competition process. He said: "Actually, I wrote it wrong. This time it is not Sina, but the agency rights jointly won by Sina and Yike."

"Both parties will set up a half-half subsidiary to operate the game."

"As for the price, I gave Blizzard a signing fee of 5 million for a total of 4 years, and then I have to pay about 3.5 million US dollars in copyright fees every quarter."

"There are also some promised promotion expenses, probably tens of millions of dollars."

Fang Zhuo folded up the textbooks, took the newspapers, and picked the ones he was interested in reading.

Zhao Zhishan calculated in his mind, 500+350*16+1000=7100, which is 71 million US dollars? !

The agency fee for a game is so expensive!

She clicked her tongue and said, "Mr. Fang, more than 70 million US dollars? This is really an astonishing price!"

"Instalment payment. Besides, if one company is more expensive, isn't it divided into two companies?" Fang Zhuo said with a smile, "Two listed companies will pay to operate a game. It's not expensive."

Zhao Zhishan asked: "So, Mr. Fang, can we make money from this?"

She thinks this is Sina's attempt to make money for the gaming market and to stimulate its stock price.

Fang Zhuo nodded slightly: "I should be able to make a profit, a little bit."
