In the last few days of March 2004, several shocking things happened in the secondary market.
On March 21, Shanda successfully listed on the Nasdaq in the United States. However, it failed immediately after its listing and raised only US$152 million in the IPO, which was far lower than the previously announced target of nearly US$260 million.
On March 22, SMIC, which was in a lawsuit with TSMC, was listed in the United States and Hong Kong, and then suffered a sharp break, showing the capital market's pessimism about SMIC's future direction.
On March 23, initiated by the Beijing Communications Administration Bureau and the Beijing Communications Industry Association, 246 communications companies jointly signed the "Beijing Wireless Mobile Value-Added Service Industry Self-Discipline Convention". Many SP service providers such as Sina, NetEase, Sohu, and TOM Network were impressive.
In the column.
Affected by the official regulatory news on the wireless value-added market, the share prices of the three major portals have all fallen slightly, and TOM, which was preparing to go public, stopped its road show plan and neither announced its next move nor responded to reporters' interviews.
It is said that TOM.com was interviewed by relevant departments and asked to make rectifications related to the business that affected the listing. The road to listing suffered substantial setbacks. Some shareholders expressed doubts and dissatisfaction with the actual controller Zhou Kaixuan. There may be heavy personnel changes.
Adjustment.
As the month of April approaches, news related to the secondary market has suddenly increased. Analysis and disclosures from all parties have made the media and related circles extremely lively.
Under such circumstances, Yike President Fang Zhuo postponed his flight to Luzhou and had two low-key communications with Zhang Xinsheng, chairman of the reorganized Bailian Group in Shanghai.
The two parties have sincere exchanges and are expected to jointly develop the 2-3 and 2-4 plots of Zhuyuan that have just concluded the previous bidding.
Although Fang Zhuo’s actions were extremely low-key, some people heard the news and reviewed the last highly anticipated bidding process again, and found the 40 million lead even more intriguing.
“Mr. Fang has already made up his mind to jointly develop this land with Bailian, right?”
“I’m afraid it’s because of Bailian Group that Yongke dared to acquire land at such a high price. The two companies in Shanghai and Shanghai are joining forces to fight against Hong Kong companies.”
“Yongke has now reduced its financial pressure. I am afraid that the next bidding will be very aggressive. Is Shencheng’s prime land really dependent on Yongke’s actions?”
“Liu Yiyi is very proud of himself. He is really following the right person when he follows Mr. Fang.”
Yongke’s news has been analyzed by many people, and this is indispensable for Liu Suyi’s high profile. His high profile is not just to show off, but also to use this momentum to complete Yongke’s mergers and acquisitions.
This was something that Mr. Fang Lin explained before going to Luzhou. He did not expect that Mr. Fang would let him do it like this, and he increasingly believed that Mr. Fang's words, "If you can't give ice core blood transfusion within two years, you will have to replace someone."
False words.
Just as Liu Suyi was planning the merger and acquisition, Fang Zhuo had quietly arrived in Luzhou, intending to meet Professor Hu Zhengming, the former CTO of TSMC.
However, he was a little worried about how he should communicate with the professor.
Are you talking about money? Talking about the significance of the development of the national semiconductor industry? Talking about the position that Bingxin can give this professor?
Thinking about it, it’s not easy to talk about it.
Hu Zhengming was 57 years old. He wanted fame, prestige, money, and achievements. Regardless of his career or academic field, he was not an ordinary success.
Fang Zhuo tried to put himself in the professor’s perspective, but found it difficult to impress such a person.
On March 24, Fang Zhuo showed up in Luzhou in a low-key manner. Within half a day, he was enthusiastically picked up by a special car in the city.
This time is not a welcome feast.
According to the words of Secretary-General Luo Minghua, this was a thank-you banquet for the other party’s president. In addition to city leaders, the attendees also included Meiling’s corporate leaders, as well as guests from afar from Chengdu.
The most important of the guests was Comrade Ni Runfeng, the head of Changhong.
Ni Runfeng has been in Luzhou for four days. He is personally supervising the cooperation between Changhong and Meiling, and wants to complete the prototype of Changhong's external technology upgrade as quickly as possible.
When he met Xiaofang, he felt like meeting a relative, and he was even more enthusiastic than the leaders of Luzhou.
“Mr. Fang, your ice core is a big deal.”
Ni Runfeng didn’t talk about Changhong, but about the ice core project he took the time to see. During that trip, he deeply felt that the city and the province attached great importance to the Xiaofang General Project, and even the name of the road was changed.
The ice core factory on Yuhu Road.
As expected, I am borrowing Boren to talk about...
Forget it, Ni Runfeng doesn’t want to recall the past. At his age, it’s rare for him to be confused.
Anyway, things are going very well now. I heard that my son is adapting very well to Yike and has good relationships with colleagues and friends. He will soon go abroad to do business.
“Ice core is a big problem.” There was no smile on Fang Zhuo’s face. There were many problems to be overcome in this trip. Part of Bingxin’s equipment procurement was stuck, and the high-sequence talents that Bingxin wanted to introduce were not easy to do.
“Where is Changhong? Did you encounter any problems? Do you need me to stimulate it again?” He asked Lao Ni.
“No, no, everyone is united now. They all hope for the best for Changhong and hope that the company will release good news as soon as possible.” Seeing Mr. Xiao Fang’s serious face, Ni Runfeng said quickly, “Too much is not enough, and now I feel it is the best.”
Fang Zhuo nodded: "If you have anything to say, I have a knife in my hand."
Ni Runfeng glanced at Mr. Xiao Fang's expression and wondered if his calm expression also contained a warning to him. Which knife was that?
"Come on, come on, Mr. Fang, Mr. Ni, let me toast you two." Secretary-General Luo Minghua intervened in the conversation with a glass of wine, his words were full of thanks, "Mr. Ni cooperates with our Meiling, this is a win-win situation, Mr. Fang, matchmaking,
On behalf of the city, I would like to express my gratitude."
Luo Minghua is really grateful to Mr. Fang.
Who would have thought that Mr. Fang would not only personally invest in the project, but also attract a nationally renowned company to settle in the local area, and it would be such a high-quality implementation.
The three of them drank a glass of wine and chatted with each other for a while.
Luo Minghua noticed something strange in Mr. Fang’s expression and asked directly: “Mr. Fang, what do you need to solve when you come here? If you have any problems, you must ask them, and don’t be afraid of troublesome the city.”
Ni Runfeng looked at this ranked secretary-general who was just hooking up with Mr. Xiao Fang. He was thinking that he would have to bring Mr. Xiao Fang along for the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the cooperation between the two companies tomorrow. He even got his son there, and now he is running a business.
Gotta borrow some momentum.
“Secretary-General Luo, Professor Hu, have you met? Is there any good way to communicate?” Fang Zhuo was not polite.
Luo Minghua hesitated for two seconds and said bluntly: "See you, Mr. Fang, this old professor is quite insistent. Both the city and the school have revealed his interest in ice cores, but he refused very clearly."
He continued: "Moreover, we have expressed to him more than once that he is still quite stubborn. Hey, Mr. Fang, for this matter, several people secretly call him Professor Shitou. He has a very tough temper."
Fang Zhuo was troubled by this. This professor was not easy to deal with, but Bing Xin, who was eager for talents, had to do it, and he had to try his best to do it.
He sighed, sincerely: "Why is it so difficult to start a business?"
Ni Runfeng felt sad and nodded along with him.
Fang Zhuo glanced at Lao Ni: "Oh, it would be great if everything could be dealt with as simply as Changhong."
Ni Runfeng is still recalling in his mind from time to time a series of operations that Mr. Xiao Fang did after arriving in Chengdu. Hearing these words, he suddenly felt uneasy.
How does the co-author feel this way?
He was also curious, what kind of professor could make Xiao Fang so troublesome?
