The U.S. financial market was further troubled by the collapse of Washington Mutual Bank.
Fang Zhuo, who has been in Xiangjiang for more than half a month, plans to go there to see if it will still be snowy and frosty.
On September 26, Fang Zhuo was originally scheduled to fly to New York on that day, but due to bad weather and several difficult calls from Yongke Real Estate, Fang Zhuo postponed the flight for a day to prepare to hear the report from Liu Suyi.
Compared to Morningstar Semiconductor, which suffered Lehman bankruptcy within days of its listing, Yongke Real Estate, which also planned to go public within the year, was even more blindsided.
Is this... this precarious situation still possible?
Liu Suyi is a real person and wants to wait for orders from the big boss.
However, there was still no news from the big boss, but I still saw news about him talking about Lehman in the news.
Liu Suyi confirmed that a patient boss like Mr. Fang is the one who can do big things, and couldn't help but call to inquire about the listing decision.
Last year, Country Garden went public with a valuation of more than HK$80 billion, and its market value exceeded 100 billion on the first day.
Originally, Yongke was listed based on this goal, but the situation this month is really scary. If it doesn't get better, will the market value of Yongke reach 40 billion by the time it goes public?
Liu Suyi called Mr. Fang, but the call was answered by his secretary Liu Zonghong, who said he would forward the situation to Mr. Fang.
The second time, it was still the same.
For the third time, Liu Zonghong directly stated that Mr. Fang was very busy recently and did not have time to deal with it at the moment.
Liu Suyi was furious, the listing of the company is a big deal! How dare you, a dog secretary, stop me? Don’t think that you have been with Mr. Fang for a long time. If I really rush to Mr. Fang to sue you, you will also be fined with two drinks!
He had a patient expression with Secretary Liu on the phone. He knew that Mr. Fang was extremely busy because of financial market matters, but Yongke was really in a dilemma now. He was about to get on a passenger plane flying to Xiangjiang, and he hoped to convey this
Condition.
Ultimately, this set a meeting for September 26 to decide whether to postpone the listing of Yongke Real Estate in Xiangjiang.
Liu Suyi prepared a lot and planned to analyze the options between the two situations in front of Mr. Fang.
However, when he actually walked into the appointed meeting room, Mr. Fang did not show up.
"Secretary Liu, where is Mr. Fang?" Liu Suyi only saw the secretary and not the big boss, and he had an ominous premonition in his heart.
Liu Zonghong was also helpless: "Mr. Fang went to Pengcheng and asked me to observe and record this meeting. He said he would just take a look at it then."
Liu Suyi was sulky and really suspected that the secretary was causing trouble.
"Mr. Fang was originally going to attend the meeting, but... he was intercepted by Mr. Zhou from Pengcheng and went there temporarily." Liu Zonghong explained the situation and reassured, "Mr. Fang said he believed you.
Trust your judgment of the situation."
The feeling of being believed... is a bit not good.
Liu Suyi asked with a straight face: "Which Mr. Zhou? Is this even more serious? Is it bigger than Yongke's listing?"
Liu Zonghong politely replied: "It's President Zhou Xin of the Medical Group."
"Okay, Secretary Liu, you really need to convey this meeting to me properly." Liu Suyi lost his temper. Mr. Zhou from the medical department is Mr. Fang's old friend. If there is an emergency, he is beyond his control. "Oh, yes, Fang
Can you still make time tomorrow?"
"Maybe I'll leave on the evening flight." Liu Zonghong said regretfully.
Liu Suyi nodded silently. Since Mr. Fang trusted him, he could only take on Liu Yiyi's responsibility.
…
Fang Zhuo really wanted to attend the meeting of Yongke Real Estate.
However, Zhou Xincheng invited him to the hospital in Pengcheng to witness the domestic cochlear implant developed by the medical department, so he had to give him the temporary time of this day.
The Department of Medicine has been localizing cochlear implants for nearly two years and has been doing very solid work.
In other words, the Medical Group has always done a solid job under the leadership of Zhou Xin. This made Fang Zhuo, who had regretted Zhou Xin's unwillingness to move his position, inexplicably happy. Xiao Zhou definitely knew that he had the opportunity to earn more.
Money, but still gave up such an opportunity.
In the morning of the 26th, Fang Zhuo talked with Zhou Xin about the current business situation of the medical department while waiting for the patient to make final preparations.
The localization of cochlear implants can reduce the price by at least half, which is indeed a good deed.
In fact, the patient has already undergone cochlear implantation surgery, but the cochlear implant cannot be turned on immediately after the implantation. He has to wait for the wound to heal and for the outer flap of the earphone to be fully healed.
Today is the moment to witness the patient wearing the cochlear external part and turning it on.
Near noon, Fang Zhuo and Zhou Xin, who were standing outside the glass window, stopped communicating and looked at the children, parents, and doctors in the ward.
The child is only four years old and his family situation is not good. This time, the cochlear implant can be used free of charge by the medical department, but apart from the cost of the hospital and cochlear implants, the parents still need to spend a lot of energy and money.
Turning on a cochlear implant is easy.
When a four-year-old child wears a cochlear ear and hears the sounds from his parents in the world for the first time, his expression is first frightened, and then he rushes into his mother's arms like a scared little animal.
The father shed tears silently beside him, and the mother also held back her tears, fearing that she would make a sound that would scare the children who could just hear her.
When a child is afraid of crying, his mother pats him silently and his father quietly wipes away his tears.
Fang Zhuo couldn't help but be moved when he saw this scene in the ward.
He turned his back, took the tissue handed over by Zhou Xin, and wiped his eyes.
"It's really good." Fang Zhuo had to praise Zhou Xin's work from the bottom of his heart again.
He turned around and looked at the child in the ward who had gradually stopped crying, and motioned for Zhou Xin to follow him out and not to disturb the family.
Zhou Xin took two steps and said proudly: "I think it's pretty good too."
He continued: "There are too many things that can be seen in hospitals. I think it is very meaningful for the medical department to try to solve some of them."
Fang Zhuo nodded: "You are better than me. I know that I am not capable. In fact, I don't want to go to the hospital. Even if I invest some money sometimes, I don't want to see with my own eyes how the money is spent."
Zhou Xin shook his head. He did not agree with this statement. It is the greatest good deed to truly spend the money.
From this point of view, whether it is helping to raise money for charity funds or supporting and promoting medical work, Fang is always better than himself.
"Brother Fang, in this case, it just so happens that we still need some money for localization upgrade." Zhou Xin said the purpose of this time. The cochlear implant is a joint venture of a subsidiary and still requires more research and development expenses.
Fang Zhuo said without hesitation: "How much is needed?"
Zhou Xin stretched out two fingers: "About 200 million."
Fang Zhuo nodded and said simply: "Okay."
He took a few steps forward and suddenly asked, "Is this child from Pengcheng?"
"No, we brought it to Pengcheng on a special trip. It's close to Xiangjiang River." Zhou Xin said honestly, "It will allow you to see it as quickly as possible."
Fang Zhuo sighed: "If you need money, just tell me directly. There's no need to do this."
"The first 200 million is very desirable." Zhou Xin still considered it honestly, "But I will also want the second, third, and fourth in the future."
That's why Mr. Fang saw such a scene so he could ask for money.
Hearing is false, seeing is believing, there is always some truth in the old saying.
Fang Zhuo stopped, glanced at Zhou Xin, frowned, and said, "After a while, I'll see if I can squeeze more for you."
Zhou Xin quickly held Brother Fang's hand, which was why he insisted on bringing the family to Pengcheng.
People say that Brother Fang has made money recently.
as expected!
Although many people say that Brother Fang is not good, I know him well!
If someone can't feel his goodness, then think about your own problems!
However, if you want to get more of his good things, you have to learn how to ask for them better!
"Is there no news scheduled for today?" Fang Zhuo let go of his hand and patted Zhou Xin on the shoulder.
Zhou Xin was stunned: "No."
"In fact, it would be better if there were more media reports on this kind of thing. I can also take the opportunity to help your charity fund get some money." Fang Zhuo felt a little regretful and then glanced at Xiao Zhou.
week
Not to mention other companies, Sina is definitely very fast here.
Fang Zhuo nodded slightly: "Let's go, eat first."
Zhou Xin walked forward and picked up his mobile phone.
It was really worth the trip!
A bigger wish came into his mind, hoping that Brother Fang would become the richest man in the world!
On the afternoon of the 26th, several media reported the first use of domestic cochlear implants in Pengcheng.
Among them, Mainland's richest man Fang Zhuo and Medical Group CEO Zhou Xin were interviewed successively and talked about the significance of localization of cochlear implants.
In the evening alone, before Fang Zhuo boarded the plane, he pressed for time and made a series of phone calls while the iron was hot. He helped Zhou Xin's charity fund raise nearly 10 million donations, and he himself followed the promise on the phone.
Donations will be matched one to one.
Zhou Xin took Brother Fang to the airport and watched his "Qingzi" take off before leaving.
Liu Suyi, who was in Xiangjiang, received a text message from the big boss before the plane took off - everything was business as usual.
Although I couldn't see Mr. Fang, I got instructions at least.
Liu Suyi silently revoked another result of the meeting discussion and resolutely obeyed the order.
No matter how good or bad it is, it will eventually become a listed company first, right?
…
On the 27th, the Qingzi arrived in the United States.
Fang Zhuo came to New York, which had undergone tremendous changes but seemed like nothing had changed.
Kong Yu had been waiting in New York for a long time. This time, he had done enough security work and personally led people to pick him up.
"Bulletproof car? It feels quite solid,"
Fang Zhuo didn't quite grasp the jet lag this time. He got into the car a little tired and knocked on the door frame with his hand.
Kong Yu said "hmm" and didn't explain much. He thought it was necessary.
"Actually, it's not bad, Mr. Kong. Don't be too nervous. I see that you are more haggard than last time." Fang Zhuo comforted the Gasoline Man who hadn't seen him for a long time, "On the surface, Paulson's fund attracts attention, but on the official side,
There are Paulson, Geithner and others at the top, and the private funds are also divided into several groups for nesting, so there are not so many people watching us."
Kong Yu had no intention of relaxing: "Mr. Fang, what I said is to nip problems in the bud."
"If you are so nervous, how will you do your work in the future?" Fang Zhuo said with a smile.
Kong Yu:?
Fang Zhuo did not go into details and continued to ask: "Is there any latest news?"
"It is said that the amount of money Morgan took out of Hua Mutual Bank was US$1.9 billion." Kong Yu told the latest confirmed situation, "It is said that the US$700 billion bailout bill submitted by Abramovich may be vetoed by Congress."
"It's really a price jump." Fang Zhuo shook his head, "If the bill is voted down, the market will be even more volatile."
"We are all waiting and watching now. Everyone on Wall Street is in danger." Kong Yu said this first, then corrected himself, "Most of them are in danger."
Fang Zhuo thought for a while and said: "We certainly can't eat meat as much as Morgan. This time we will drink soup together along with the spread of Geithner's power. The funds of their clients will be packaged and dealt with first."
"
Morgan eats openly and openly, but the MIGA fund certainly cannot do this. The fund operates based on the needs of customers. You can eat whatever the customer wants.
MIGA Fund has made a lot of money through short selling. This time it is just serving customers. If the customers feel bad and insist on paying more fees, that is acceptable.
Kong Yu nodded. Geithner of the New York Fed has been in the limelight recently and is a popular figure. He is one of the core clients of the MIGA fund.
In addition, a poll was released yesterday, and Omar Jr., who had been lagging behind McCain, achieved a lead.
Kong Yu is observing the current situation and suspects that once O'Neill succeeds, Geithner will gain a pivotal position and may even take over Paulson's current position.
The current situation is unpredictable, but... the MIGA Fund seems to be developing in a better direction.
He took out a document from his briefcase and handed it to his boss. It also contained some of the latest news compiled on it.
——United Microelectronics laid off 400 employees.
——Sony Ericsson North America lays off 450 employees.
——Cisco laid off 120 employees.
——Yahoo is planning to lay off at least 10% of its employees, which is expected to exceed 1,400 people.
——There are rumors of layoffs at Texas Instruments, which may exceed 600 people. There are also rumors of selling factories and restructuring the mobile phone chip business.
——Motorola’s mobile phone department is suspected of making moves, and the already sluggish mobile phone business has been hit hard again.
——Qimonda plans to lay off 3,000 employees in response to the recession in the global chip market.
——Micron will lay off 15% of its employees for the winter and close a DRAM memory chip production line in Idaho.
There are all kinds of short and dense two-page information, basically all of them are familiar manufacturers and brands, and some of them are old friends.
Fang Zhuo was shocked to see it.
Fang Zhuo was very excited when he saw it.
If we cut it like this now, after a while, these numbers will only increase a lot.
Fang Zhuo turned his thoughts around and considered the target to contact first.
Yike needs talents, technology, and patents, and so does ice core.
The chip design strength of the former needs to be enhanced, while the situation of the latter is more complicated. A small team has been established in China and will soon fly to the United States to be responsible for evaluation.
"When will the outcome of Abu's 700 billion bill be determined?" Fang Zhuo asked Kong Yu as he put down the materials.
"No. 29." Kong Yu replied.
Fang Zhuo nodded lightly. Since rumors have appeared in the market, there may be greater turmoil after the 29th, so we can start shopping for goods then.
Let’s start with Texas Instruments. It is laying off employees, selling factories, and adjusting its mobile phone chip business. It must need a lot of help.
