March 26, Saturday.
According to the itinerary, Fang Zhuo, accompanied by Sun Qi, Vice President of Supply Chain, inspected the company's factory site selection in Henan Province, then hurried back to Shanghai, had another brief meeting and went straight to the international airport.
“The local government provides people with money and policies, which is really favorable.”
"Our production line can be refurbished. The domestic and foreign markets are increasing, and the domestic labor costs are another big plus."
"I will definitely be back next month, but you don't have to wait for me to come back. You need to communicate with the local government first."
Yike drove halfway to the airport in the commercial car, and Fang Zhuo also chatted with Sun Qi on the phone.
After hanging up the phone, he glanced at his sister who was flipping through the catalog of economics books next to him, and found that she was squinting in thought.
"I won't let you give it away, but you insist on giving it away. It's not your first business trip. Qiqi, if you can't understand it, don't force it." Fang Zhuo patted the book in his sister's hand, "It's not your time to learn at this stage.
Just keep an impression in your mind."
"No, brother, I'm just thinking." Zhao Suqi came back to his senses and asked a question curiously, "What do you think about the subprime mortgage or real estate bubble? If the United States will have it, will we have it too?"
Fang Zhuo did not answer directly, but just said: "The attitude towards bubbles and predicting the direction of bubbles are two different things. It doesn't matter what I think. At a certain stage, similar problems will exist. Learning from history is the most important thing."
Zhao Suqi felt that her brother's words sounded false. The thoughts in her mind turned and she silently pondered the meaning for a while.
In the past two days, she had seriously thought about what she had heard before, and decided to fully accept the CEO's brother's deduction and judgment on the subprime mortgage series.
After all, I am just a high school student, what knowledge can I have?
The brother and sister no longer talked about serious topics. The younger sister paid attention to her older brother's love life, and the older brother supervised her younger sister's exam study. The second half of the business car's drive to the airport was filled with brother-in-law and sister-in-law exchanges.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Fang Zhuo got on the passenger plane to New York, listening to music on M1 with headphones in his ears, and a stack of newspapers from the past two days in his hand.
The schedule was rushed and the flight was boring. This trip was all alone. The planned fourth and final batch of domestic employees sent abroad will not be assembled until early next month and fly to New York together.
With the low-key release of iMu Private and the expansion of M1 and P1 channels, Yike must recruit more manpower in the United States, which is also a small challenge in terms of personnel.
No matter how good the project is, it still needs to be implemented by people.
Because he was really lacking in resources, Fang Zhuo considered that he needed to hire professional managers to help with the situation in the United States, but this choice should not be rushed.
The passenger plane carried the president's thoughts across the ocean and across the country's borders above the white clouds.
When Fang Zhuo woke up in a daze, the passenger plane was about to arrive at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport.
He asked the flight attendant for a cup of black coffee, took a big sip, re-read the newspaper he had read twice, and thought about some domestic policy trends.
Soon, the passenger plane landed, and President Yike once again set foot on the territory of New York. The last time he returned from here, he had a stable supply from the main channels of M1 and P1. This time, he faced lawsuits from Japanese AA and other organizations.
Things are getting a lot more interesting.
Not long after, President Yike and the Marketing Director met victoriously at JFK International Airport.
"Mr. Yu, are you sure you're going to use this to pick up the plane?"
After meeting Yu Hong, Fang Zhuo happily exchanged information while walking, but he soon saw Director Yu stop in front of a red motorcycle.
"It was originally a car, but the rental model was older and always had problems. I went next door to replace it. If you hadn't come alone, I wouldn't have needed it to entertain you." Yu Hong threw the helmet over.
Fang Zhuo knew Director Yu's hobbies and put on his helmet in a fit of laughter: "What if I bring a lot of things? Can your motorcycle handle it?"
"A person like you must travel lightly. Let's go, CEO." Yu Hong got on the motorcycle first.
Fang Zhuo silently hugged Xiao Yu's waist from behind and experienced a lightning-fast pick-up.
He couldn't understand Director Xiao Yu's hobby, but he maintained respect.
"How do you feel? Are you feeling refreshed?" Yu Hong asked proudly.
"It's okay. Let's just take this one. We can't communicate on the road and the wind is too loud." Fang Zhuo suggested taking into consideration the other person's mood, "How about instead of renting a car, I'll buy a car in the United States..."
Yu Hong rolled her eyes: "You didn't buy anything at home, so what are you buying here?"
"Yes, yes." Fang Zhuo shook his head and walked into Yike's office in New York. The environment here is incomparable to that on the 23rd floor of Hang Lung, but it is small and well-equipped.
He sat in the conference room, picked up the market information he had prepared, and said casually: "If China successfully obtains control of Sina this time, I will reward myself with a luxury car."
"Did this go well?" Yu Hong was purely curious.
This acquisition has nothing to do with Shencheng Yike Technology, and it has nothing to do with her work. However, Sina, the first and most influential portal website in China to be listed on Nasdaq, was regarded as an acquisition target by the boss. It makes me sad when I think about it.
Surprise and anticipation.
No matter whether it is possible or not, Yu Hong thinks that this process will definitely be very lively according to Fang Zhuo's character.
"Yike Investment now owns 3% of Sina's shares. Mi GA Fund absorbed 5.4% of the shares at its lowest point a while ago. Together, they are the fifth largest shareholder of Sina under the current share structure. Isn't it amazing?"
"As long as the funds are in place, the GA Fund can continue to acquire stocks in the stock market at any time. Sina is still not a promising stock in the US stock market."
"As for the control of the company, the battle will have to wait until after the shareholders' meeting in June. At that time, an extraordinary shareholders' meeting will be held using the shareholder's identity."
When Yu Hong heard the sound plan, she couldn't help but said: "It's very organized. Is there no problem in the middle?"
"Yes, board seats are a problem, and the funds are not very rich." Fang Zhuo flipped through the report in his hand, "But we can try to solve it. I met Mr. Ding of NetEase before and saw it in the newspaper.
In some of his interviews, he said that he would endorse games."
He raised his head and smiled: "I don't know what kind of game it is, but if it can be beneficial, the GA Fund can consider selling NetEase shares first and use the funds to buy Sina shares."
"Game?" Yu Hong heard a new and unfamiliar field.
"Just wait and see what NetEase does. The first quarter report of the listed company will be released next month. At that time, we can clearly see the reality of the three major portals." Fang Zhuo said, "In addition, I communicated with Zhou Xin.
After a while, Guohao.com will consider setting up a mobile SP department to try to cooperate with communication operators."
Yu Hong often had the feeling that she couldn't keep up with Mr. Fang's thinking after not seeing each other for a while, and it was especially strong today.
Is it because the times are developing too fast or is Mr. Fang’s business too out of the ordinary?
Fortunately, the following words return to familiar territory.
"Huh? You were talking about opening up channels, but Wal-Mart actually got in touch?" Fang Zhuo looked over.
Yu Hong suppressed her pride and said calmly: "It's just a small gain."
Fang Zhuo did not hesitate to praise: "If this can be negotiated, I will reward you with a Harley motorcycle."
"It's just a glimpse of the horoscope. We still need to continue to work hard." Yu Hong is not blindly optimistic.
"Well, I made an appointment with someone to discuss the company's financing before I came here. It just so happens that you can participate together and treat this semi-finished product as a small bargaining chip." Fang Zhuo introduced the situation, "This time it is more important. We have to talk about both the concept story and the story.
Practical work, understand?”
"Understood, this is Mr. Fang's specialty." Yu Hong nodded calmly.
