229 Ready to go

 From the evening of December 26th to the evening of December 31st, for five days, Fang Zhuo spent almost all his energy on media interviews.

Unlike domestic media, he needs to pay attention to the accuracy of his words when facing foreign media, and he must also avoid pitfalls intentionally or unintentionally set up by some reporters.

This kind of small confrontation between the interviewer and the interviewee gave Fang Zhuo a headache, but seeing the serious information made him feel better.

On the last night of December 2003, which was also the eve of Yike's listing, Fang Zhuo put on makeup before the interview in the hotel suite and took time to meet Ni Runfeng, who greeted him.

Coincidentally, Xiong Xiaoge also came to visit and chatted about tomorrow's listing.

The makeup artist was applying the final touches on the young president's face. Xiong Xiaoge felt particularly novel when he saw this scene. He walked around half a circle and sat down on the sofa, then picked up the documents on the coffee table.

——China Data Broadcasting, a company listed on the Hong Kong Growth Enterprise Market under the name of Ji Longfen, is only an empty shell, and its current share price is less than HK$2.

——This kind of stock is not recognized by the capital market even if it has a book price. GEM companies have strict restrictions on the main business they can inject. In addition, the company is entangled in lawsuits, so its value as a shell company is also very limited.

——In addition, China Data Broadcasting has a great risk of suspension.

——APEX's headquarters in Ontario, California has office buildings and huge warehouses, both of which are mainly leased. The trademarks under its name also have little value due to industry reputation.

——According to the assessment of credit agency Dun & Bradstreet, APEX Company has high risks.

"Old Bear, hey."

Xiong Xiaoge was looking at it seriously when he was suddenly called out. His heart skipped a beat and he subconsciously put down the document.

"It's okay, let's take a look, it's just some evaluation. Changhong is going to go through legal procedures." Fang Zhuo poured a cup of tea for Lao Xiong.

Xiong Xiaoge nodded slightly and asked: "The company he co-owns is worthless? The listed company under his name is also worthless?"

"It's just a channel dealer, or it's based on arrears of payment, what value can it have?" Fang Zhuo said with a smile, "The warehouse is rented, the goods in the warehouse are obtained with IOUs, the terminal is owned by Wal-Mart, and the company's funds may be financed.

Yes, well, it can be considered as starting from scratch, but the risk is very high. This season, there are always some means, but the pattern is not big."

Xiong Xiaoge concentrated: "How to say?"

"He doesn't dare to face things. Lao Ni came all the way from China and he avoided seeing him. How could he do such a thing?" Fang Zhuo shook his head and said, "If nothing else, let's just say that we gathered a group of people back then.

When people come to the company to look for me, do I avoid them? How can I get things done if I don’t even dare to face difficult problems?”

Xiong Xiaoge thought to herself, you are so damn ready.

However, he then thought about it again. If Mr. Ji of APEX Company acted like this, he must have been prepared, but he still avoided Mr. Ni, which was indeed a mistake.

Before he could speak, Ni Runfeng knocked on the door and came in.

Xiong Xiaoge hadn’t seen him for a few days and felt that this person’s face looked more sad.

He quickly took the documents on the table into his hands, fearing that the information inside would be seen.

"Lao Ni, how are you?" Fang Zhuo greeted generously and poured the chairman a cup of tea.

"Hey, we have to go through the formal legal process to sue APEX. There is no one at the address that Yike found through Wal-Mart a few days ago, but I still want to thank Mr. Fang." Ni Runfeng said distressedly, "Lawyer Martin said he was confident of winning the case, but

I’m afraid it will take more than a year to win the case.”

Fang Zhuo looked directly at Ni Runfeng: "Will there be trouble in the country?"

Ni Runfeng was silent for a while and said, "Mr. Fang, to be honest, it's really troublesome."

He continued hesitantly: "I'm here, I'm thinking about whether to go back..."

Fang Zhuo frowned and interrupted: "Old Ni, you are too pessimistic. This is definitely not a good choice."

Xiong Xiaoge also heard what the head of Changhong meant.

But he didn't say anything. He just watched the ten minutes of Mr. Fang's earnest advice, domestic public opinion situation, economic focus situation, enterprise development evaluation and many other aspects and dimensions.

Anyway, that's all I mean, the situation is not that bad, you, Lao Ni, have to go back.

Xiong Xiaoge couldn't help laughing when he heard the last part. He felt that if Mr. Fang made it clear and offered real help, it would definitely directly boost Mr. Ni's confidence. Now Mr. Ni may be too discouraged because of the setback in finding Mr. Ji of APEX Company.

With great difficulty, Ni Runfeng got rid of the thought that suddenly popped up in his heart and congratulated him again: "Mr. Fang, Yike will go on the market tomorrow. I'm really sorry to bother you today."

"It's okay, Lao Ni. We are all from China. We are not familiar with the place here in New York, so why don't we help each other?" Fang Zhuo shook his head, "Don't worry, I will push Martin more. Wal-Mart

On the other hand, I also asked the company to try to contact us to see if we can come up with a good solution."

"Lao Ni, what are you going to do now?"

"It is to return to China to maintain control of Changhong and to continue to lead Changhong forward."

"Take the example I met, Duan Yongji of Sina. Think about it, what will be the evaluation of him after I drive him away from Sina? The more prosperous Sina is, the lower the evaluation of his role in Sina's development."

"You have worked in Changhong for decades, are you willing to be poked in the back in the future?"

Fang Zhuo said righteously: "Old man, my ambition is thousands of miles away. Old Ni, only by fighting can you have a chance. If you don't fight, you won't even have a chance."

Ni Runfeng fell into deep thought.

At this time, the assistant came and knocked on the door to remind me that the interview time was up.

"Lao Ni, talk to Lao Xiong. He sees the situation more clearly than I do. I still have an interview here." Fang Zhuo glanced at Xiong Xiaoge.

Xiong Xiaoge immediately understood the situation clearly. Mr. Fang needed Mr. Ni to go back and control Changhong.

After a few seconds, Fang Zhuo left the room.

Xiong Xiaoge and Ni Runfeng had a chat about business, ethics, competition, and development.

He was very lucky that he was relatively good at this aspect.

Ni Runfeng is also very lucky to meet two industry leaders during this trip to New York.



January 1, 2004, 8 a.m. U.S. time, 8 p.m. Beijing time.

Su Wei received a call from New York in the company office. It was from Mr. Fang. The background sound was very noisy.

"Hey, hey, Mr. Fang, you haven't started yet, have you?"

"No, Teacher Xiao Su, wait."

The background sound gradually quieted down.

"The Nasdaq will not open in another hour and a half." Fang Zhuo said, "Are you nervous?"

"Wherever I need to be nervous, it must be because you are nervous at the scene." Su Wei laughed, even though she was refreshing the news in the office in real time.

"I'm okay, I just don't know what to say later. Oh yes, I'm calling because I have been thinking about something for the past two days and I need to talk to you." Fang Zhuo said about the purpose, "We Yike will set up a game department in China.

You can recruit talents carefully and the salary can be higher."

"Hmm? Game department?" Su Wei pondered for a moment, "Is it like Sina? Are you considering introducing foreign games?"

"Yes, Sina's game department considers it from the perspective of stock price and market value. Now that Yike is going to be listed, I think I can't treat myself badly. Therefore, there is a business that can be done together, and it can also stimulate the stock prices of the two companies, killing two birds with one stone.

." Fang Zhuo explained.

Su Wei understood and knew what to do.

She thought about it and asked: "Poaching people, right? Can we poach people from Sina?"

Fang Zhuo rarely hesitated for two seconds on this kind of thing, and said tactfully: "Good birds choose trees to roost in. Only competition can lead to development. Brother companies must achieve each other's achievements and make progress together."

"Okay, I understand. Remember to take more photos at the scene and send them over, especially those who ring the bell." Su Wei was still more concerned about this matter.

"Don't worry, I'm full of energy and energy today. We at Yike must make a good start on the first day of listing this year." Fang Zhuo said with confidence.

Yike is listed today, Goldman Sachs' "buy" rating is about to move, IDG and Deutsche Bank are preparing to pull up the stock with all their strength, DCM has called on friends, media and newspapers have all bought press releases, and everything is ready.
