Dr. Liang returned to China to attend the meeting. Fang Zhuo thought about it and handed the matter over to Liu Yangyang in China.
Liu Yangyang is now the secretary of the board of directors of Ice Core, and also shoulders the duties of secretary-general of the Ice Core Wafer Manufacturing Service Alliance. He not only has frequent administrative contacts, but is also familiar with the industry. He has a semi-official endorsement and several mainland companies. Meetings jointly held by well-known companies are no problem.
The preparation time is not long, but the industry conference can be real.
At the same time, Fang Zhuo also asked people to conduct back-up reviews of Gao Qiquan recommended by Dr. Liang to facilitate possible future communications.
He is full of enthusiasm for every semiconductor talent, whether it is from his own company or from other companies.
On January 20, Medical CEO Zhou Xin finished his business trip to the United States and flew to Silicon Valley to meet his boss.
Fang Zhuo asked Xu Keden when he was worried that his lack of him would affect the progress of the R&D center.
Xu Keden said that even if the boss goes to play, even though a very important R&D talent is missing, everyone in the R&D center will work together and will not affect the progress.
Therefore, Fang Zhuo accompanied Zhou Xin to watch a Warriors home basketball game.
Zhou Xin has never watched a game live, but this time he was very interested.
After the intermission, when his freshness had worn off, he started talking about the recent work in the medical department.
In addition to developing its own business in the past two years, the medical department has also successively launched some pharmaceutical and equipment projects. This year, the localization of a cochlear implant has made great progress. It is hoped that clinical trials on volunteers over six years old will begin in the second half of the year. test.
"Brother Fang, this market is not big. It is estimated that there are only a thousand people a year."
"Foreign cochlear implants are mainly developed based on English. They include treatment, examination, and rehabilitation. A set costs three to four hundred thousand."
"It is estimated that our localization can save half of the money."
"If it can be included in medical insurance in the future, it will be even less."
Zhou Xin talked about the progress and looked forward to further development in the future.
Fang Zhuo sounded very happy. Thinking about the implication, he pondered: "It may be a little difficult to be included in medical insurance in the past few years. When I return to China, I will find a relationship consulting leader."
"It would be great if we can simply lower the price now. We say the market is not big, but in fact there are not many patient families who have the conditions to go to the hospital."
"I believe that as the quality of domestically produced cochlear implants improves and the price drops, more and more people in need will be able to use them in the future."
He looked at Yao Ming, who was coming toward him from the sidelines, and said with emotion: "I sometimes think that localization and industrialization in different fields, making the expensive ones cheaper, making the cheap ones better quality, is also a kind of romance, Zhou Xin, I always think you are more solid than others, and I am not as good as you."
Zhou Xin saw Dayao, stood up and said with a smile: "Brother Fang admits that he is inferior to others, then I can go back and brag for the rest of my life. Anyway, with Brother Fang's support, I don't care about the size of the market. If I can do it and maintain it, then I will Make a bold decision and let everyone do it.”
He looked up at Yao Ming: "Hello Dayao, I'm Zhou Xin, can we take a photo together?"
Yao Ming shook hands politely and agreed to take a photo.
Fang Zhuo held up the Nokia and took a photo of Zhou Xin who was trying hard to tiptoe.
Then, he smiled and said: "Come on, Zhou Xin, take a picture of me and the frowning Dayao too."
Yao Ming was teased. He spread his hands and said helplessly: "Mr. Fang, the injuries this year are too difficult."
In this game between the Rockets and the Warriors, only Yao Ming played in the trident. Nash and Carter were both rested due to injuries. Seeing that there were still two months until the end of the regular season, the three of them did not have much time on the court at the same time.
It’s hard to win the championship, and even harder to defend the title. In pursuit of three consecutive championships, luck is also a factor in addition to strength.
Also, the mentality of core players will change unconsciously. The team has discussed contract extension with Carter, but he intends to enter the free market in the summer. The main factor is not money, but status in the team.
In short, the Rockets' team health this year is not good and their morale is average. They are currently ranked fourth in the Western Conference, only winning one more game than fifth place.
In fact, as a boss, Fang Zhuo's own mentality has also changed. Two championships, hey, is pretty good. Moreover, he also got a lot of off-field things through the team, which are even more valuable.
"How about I ask the media to blackmail you? To stimulate your fighting spirit?" Fang Zhuo asked thoughtfully, "Then I will make a declaration for three consecutive championships? I will record three consecutive championship speeches for you one by one? I will burn the boat?"
Yao Ming: "Uh..."
Injuries are objective and you have to recover slowly, and your fighting spirit can probably be adjusted.
Carter will be able to play at the beginning of next month, and Nash may have to play at the end of the month, leaving at most one month for the entire Rockets to adjust.
Fang Zhuo looked at Yao Ming's hesitation and suddenly said sternly: "No, the most I can do is this. I can no longer go to the league leaders or bribe the referees!"
Yao Ming looked embarrassed, he didn't mean that.
He did not give any opinions beyond his status as a player, and only silently agreed: "Yes, after all, Mr. Fang is pure and pure and cannot do such a thing."
Thank you for the invitation. I, Yao, also have an account on Zhihu!
Fang Zhuo: "..."
The Rockets boss jumped up hard and patted Yao Ming on the shoulder: "Go ahead and pay more attention in the next games and don't get injured again. We still have hope this year!"
When Yao Ming left, Zhou Xin asked: "Brother Fang, is it difficult to win the championship this year?"
Fang Zhuo thought about it for a moment. The Western Conference is actually between the Spurs and the Mavericks, their old rivals. This year's finals "used to be" were the Western Spurs playing the Eastern Cavaliers, and the Cavaliers were led by James to enter the Finals for the first time. They were eliminated very simply.
Got a bald head.
In other words, as long as they break out of the Western Conference, if they still face the Cavaliers, they still have great hope of defending their title.
He replied: "No one can say for sure whether a basketball is round. You still have to play and find out."
Today's game ended with the Rockets beating the Warriors by 9 points in an away game, consolidating their fourth place position.
Because of the tight schedule, the team hurriedly boarded a plane to the next city after the game.
In the evening, Yu Hong happened to fly to Silicon Valley to be busy with Yike's acquisition of the major sensor company.
The three of them had dinner together.
During the dinner, Yu Hong kept asking about Zhou Xin's daughter Zhou Keke's current situation. Fang Zhuo listened with a smile, while Zhou Xin talked about family and children. For some reason, the meal became hotter and hotter as he ate, and his back was covered with sweat.
.
"I'm going to stay in China for a while during the Spring Festival this year. Then I'll see Keke catching Zhou with my own eyes. I've made an appointment." Yu Hong liked the chubby Zhou Keke very much and said as she handed Zhou Xin's cell phone back.
Zhou Xin agreed, and then asked: "Sister Yu, when will you come back?"
"Around February 10th, I'll see when the big boss takes his vacation. I'll take the opportunity to fly on his private jet and see what it feels like." Yu Hong said with a smile.
Zhou Xin also laughed: "Then I want to take advantage of it first. Brother Fang asked me to take a private jet back in two days."
Yu Hong was startled, is there anyone in the country who wants to come over? Will they fly back on a private jet and come over again?
Fang Zhuo said with a smile: "Yu can't always take advantage of it. When the plane goes back, the interior must be renovated to be more comfortable. It won't be used for a while. Let's make a passenger plane together."
Yu Hong glanced at it: "Why do I feel like it's a bad idea? Is it really going to be transformed?"
Fang Zhuo couldn't laugh or cry: "Yu Hong, I found that you are biased against me."
Yu Hong stared sternly: "Shouldn't I have it?"
Fang Zhuo looked upright: "Should I?"
Next to him, Zhou Xin looked at his nose, his nose and his heart, shouting in his heart, fight, fight.
Yu Hong looked at Zhou Xin: "Zhou Xin, what kind of person is the big boss?"
Fang Zhuo began to feel a little annoyed. Zhihu's influence was greater than he thought. This was the second time he heard this word today. It was all his fault, Lao Xiong!
Zhou Xin was confused: "Ah? What? Private jets are indeed a bit expensive."
Fang Zhuo made a decision: "Okay, as expected of Zhou Xin, let's name this plane 'Sidian Gui' and let them mark it on the plane tomorrow."
Yu Hong rolled her eyes and ended the little bickering.
Fang Zhuo did not feel dissatisfied and talked about some official matters before the Spring Festival: "As in previous years, we will not hold more meetings for everyone. This year is a critical year for Yike's business. The medical department is also looking forward to the harvest of the project and works harder.
, there is no need to shout slogans, I will send an internal letter signed by everyone before the year, and I have already thought out the content.”
"If you're too lazy to attend meetings, take an early vacation, pay more, and keep working hard in the new year."
Yu Hong rolled her eyes twice, knowing that this person named Fang started to jump away again.
Zhou Xin clapped his hands and praised: "Brother Fang, our company culture is definitely unique in the Mainland."
Yu Hong stood up and said, "Watch your face."
She finally said: "Tomorrow afternoon, I have made an appointment to meet with the management of the major sensor company, and I will take Teacher Xu and Judy with me to wait for our good news in the evening."
The major sensor company has only been established for more than a year. It is more like a scientific research studio than a company. It has not found a suitable way to make profits, and is in an embarrassing situation.
This time the acquisition was made in the name of Yike Company, and the contact between the two parties was considered to be a like-minded one.
When Yu Hong left, Zhou Xin admired from the bottom of his heart: "Sister Yu is really a strong woman, the most powerful one I have ever seen in my life."
The pioneering and development of Yike Company in the United States is inseparable from Yu Hong’s contribution.
Fang Zhuo smiled: "How about he is the King of the United States."
Zhou Xin didn't answer this and just smiled: "Brother Fang, there is something waiting for you in the country."
"What's the matter?" Fang Zhuo asked.
"The six-month short position on Lehman is about to expire." Zhou Xin mentioned Lehman. He had been paying attention to this matter before and joined in the fun to make a small bet. He was also waiting for the results.
Fang Zhuo thoughtfully said: "I feel it should be soon."
After all, the short side has begun to make profits, and the margin is gradually increasing.
Paulson was heavily infused with funds, and Gasoline also judged that he would short Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae in the near future.
…
It should be soon.
This is the feeling that Xiong Xiaoge had when he updated his short selling situation on Zhihu again, and the results will be revealed soon.
Lehman shorted Yike, and Yike shorted Lehman. This happened five months ago.
Apart from the initial excitement, many people had forgotten about this matter, but as the fund deadline approached, Yike's stock price fell again due to the good news from its competitors, and the two companies that were shorting each other were brought up again.
The crossing dragon and the local tiger can't just pass by quietly, right?
Let’s compete!
"Is Lehman's stock price very stable?" Mrs. Xiong cut a plate of fruit and asked while familiarly clicking on the farm of her friend's network.
"It's pretty stable. I wonder if the annual report can be released in February." Xiong Xiaoge frowned, "I think it might be a bit difficult, or Mr. Fang can extend the fund, but if the time is delayed, it may still lose points in public opinion.
.”
Sister-in-law Xiong said disapprovingly: "If you lose points, you lose points. Isn't it enough that we can win in the end?"
She paused and asked again: "Can I win in the end?"
Xiong Xiaoge was a little hesitant. Considering the recent financial market situation in the United States, the real estate there seemed to be braking, but... how much impact could a giant like Lehman be affected?
What can really affect Lehman must have a strong signal.
Xiong Xiaoge hasn't seen any changes so far.
but……
He still always has inexplicable confidence in the other party, which goes against his own logic.
Sister-in-law Xiong glanced at her silent husband and asked casually: "By the way, why don't you go to the farm recently? You often don't harvest a lot of vegetables on your farm."
Xiong Xiaoge became even more silent.
Sister-in-law Xiong finished stealing the food with satisfaction and commented: "This year's Spring Festival Gala must be about stealing food. It is considered a hot word of the year."
Xiong Xiaoge responded. Indeed, although his enthusiasm was dampened by Mr. Fang's manipulation of data, the food-stealing game on the Internet continues to ferment. With Penguin Space and Dating Network, Friends Network, Sina's blog and
The development of various websites really doesn’t steal anything.
This level of enthusiasm was unprecedented, and even Xiong Xiaoge, who had played it himself, was very confused.
With so many people trying to steal food, Dating.com and Friends.com, which initially competed with each other through this game, have gradually differentiated their competition.
Although I have long been aware of the huge traffic of Penguin, I still have to sigh again this time, Penguin's traffic is so invincible.
Friends Network has gone from campus to workplace to open to the public, with social games such as stealing food from the farm and grabbing parking spaces mixed in. It can be said that it has done everything it can, but Penguin is the only one.
——I can learn from you through traffic.
This formula is enough.
No matter how clever you are, I can only crush the mountain with one stroke.
Xiong Xiaoge was inspired to talk about business competition, and suddenly joked: "Penguin is too strong. You can't blame Mr. Fang for the loss of Friends. Yike is making mobile phones now. If you can make mobile phones, maybe you can
Apply pressure from multiple angles.”
Sister-in-law Xiong would inevitably hear her husband thinking about business projects from time to time, and she would also say: "It's very difficult."
Xiong Xiaoge nodded, difficult, indeed difficult.
He shook his head and stood up to make a call to Mr. Fang. The Spring Festival was only more than two weeks away, so he could send a greeting in advance.
"Hey, what stock's number jumped?" Xiong Xiaoge had just taken two steps when he suddenly heard his wife's voice.
He turned around and saw that it was neither Lehman nor Yike, but HSBC. It suddenly fell by nearly 3% near the close of trading.
HSBC?
What's new?
What's going on in the market?
Xiong Xiaoge sat back and immediately began to look for the reason.
However, there is no bad news in the market, but it is real that some people are leaving the market.
"This is some inside information." Xiong Xiaoge stared at the U.S. stocks and muttered to himself.
"Is it related to Lehman?" Sister-in-law Xiong asked.
Xiong Xiaoge frowned slightly and said, "I can't say it's good. I can't say it's good."
However, on the last day of January, as he looked at the stock price of HSBC Bank falling, he suddenly had an intuition that a storm was coming.
