In other words, there is still more than a month left.
On the one hand, Fang Zhuo felt sad about the retirement of his old friend, and on the other hand, he went through the matter again in his mind.
In fact, he and Changhong have no personal interests. They neither invest in shares nor benefit from stocks. However, in terms of company affairs, it is a win-win situation for both parties.
Not to mention Changhong, a considerable part of Bingxin's production capacity has been allocated to TV chips. The e-commerce project of Tesco also has a very good cooperation performance. In particular, the former is precisely because Changhong was the first to try Morningstar Semiconductor's chip solution, and further leveraged it.
Moved the market of domestic manufacturers.
But having said that, we don’t have to hold on to Changhong now.
Bingxin + Morningstar Semiconductor have been recognized by manufacturers through their product strength, and Tesco sells everyone's TVs.
If Changhong really wants to disregard justice, really wants to disregard the mood of its partners, and really wants to feel that it was forced into the car by Mr. Fang, then it doesn't matter, just cut it.
Fang Zhuo believes that everything that needs to be done has been done. Even if Zhang Xuebin faces failure this time, there is no need to go to war over it.
"Old Ni, to be honest, do you think Mr. Zhao is suitable to take over your position? It seems that he has made a lot of efforts, and this time he was able to put aside his face and come to Luzhou to find me. I respect your opinion."
Ni Runfeng, who was on the other end of the phone, thought for a while and ignored Mr. Fang’s hypocrisy. Instead, he considered his true attitude and said: “The cooperation between Meiling and Changhong is very good. Changhong’s technical strength is still second to none in the country. I think it is still
It would be better for Zhang Xuebin to keep it going."
He took the initiative to suggest: "Now that Meiling's board of directors has released a signal and everyone has accepted the signal, overseas companies can also use Meiling's products. If it works, there is nothing we can do if it doesn't work."
Competition in the domestic TV market is fierce. After Changhong's overseas supply channels were taken over by Yike, they have maintained well and gradually emerged from the original haze.
This is also the only bargaining chip that Fang Zhuo can exert.
Once the chips are raised, it is the final statement. If you want to cut it, cut it thoroughly.
"Since even you, Lao Ni, are so determined, let's do as you wish." Fang Zhuo said, "I might as well just disappear from Mr. Zhao's side."
Ni Runfeng asked: "When you return to China, do you want to visit Sichuan Province?"
Fang Zhuo pondered: "It's easy to get stabbed in the spine. Forget it, there's no need to put pressure on me. Let the matter be put on the table and let them weigh it themselves."
Ni Runfeng sighed inwardly, but he also knew that Fang was always the one who could bear the consequences of the separation between the two. If Zhang Xuebin could not take over, Meiling would lose part of its technical capabilities, and Changhong would lose Meiling and overseas channels, but Meiling's LCD strategy is advancing very well.
, the most injured will still be Changhong.
He didn't say much. The initiative this time was indeed not his own.
"Mr. Fang, there is one more thing that I think it is necessary to tell you." Ni Runfeng mentioned another matter and said bluntly, "Morningstar Semiconductor is very good. They surpass other companies in terms of design and service. If
Okay, Ice Core should probably overweight Morning Star.”
"Huh? Tell me in detail." Fang Zhuo obviously paid more attention to it. This was actual feedback from front-line customers.
To be honest, he was also surprised by Morningstar Semiconductor's strategy for the domestic manufacturer market. Despite Changhong's attempts and the leadership of the "TV Eight", the speed of adoption by major manufacturers was still a bit beyond expectations.
Ni Runfeng said seriously: "There is nothing to say in detail. Morningstar's chip performance and adaptability are better. Moreover, their service impressed me even more. One time at almost 12 o'clock at night, my text message about the product was actually there."
I received a very detailed reply within half an hour.”
"Morningstar has targeted optimizations for several manufacturers, which was hard to imagine before."
"Whether Philips or Texas Instruments, they will never show such a service attitude."
"Mr. Fang, you also know how big the LCD TV market is. Morningstar is now gradually covering domestic TV manufacturers. If you wait until the LCD market further expands, it will not be so easy for you to have ideas about Morningstar."
Ni Runfeng gave a very strong suggestion.
"Lao Ni, do you have such a high opinion of Chenxing?" Fang Zhuo was surprised.
"Whether it is about the development trend or its actual performance, I think what I said is relatively objective, and may even underestimate it." Ni Runfeng said calmly, "So, if it is really necessary, now is the best time.
.”
Fang Zhuo heard the implication of Lao Ni's words, so he had to take advantage of the opportunity when Morningstar Semiconductor was trying to develop domestic manufacturers but failed to succeed.
He said with some hesitation: "Morning Star is a Baodao company, and Bingxin has actually invested 5% of the shares."
5% share is not much, and it is a symbol of the in-depth cooperation that the two parties finally reached when Morningstar leveraged its development efforts last time.
Fang Zhuo thought for a while, then said in deep thought: "This is not good."
This seems to be easier to poke in the spine.
Ni Runfeng chuckled, knowing how much Mr. Fang attached importance to the ice core, and said lightly: "Mr. Fang, this is just a suggestion from me."
Fang Zhuo stopped talking.
Ni Runfeng suddenly felt relieved, and he could suddenly feel Mr. Fang's feeling of "dominating people". This was great, no wonder...
He can almost conclude that Mr. Fang will definitely take action!
If Mr. Fang further investigates Morningstar's market situation, he will find that Morningstar's development and prospects are even better than what he said. In the future, it may even face competition in the global LCD TV chip solution market.
For now, competitors around the world are relatively slow, so this is a good opportunity.
"Okay, I'll think about it again." Fang Zhuo responded slowly, planning to pay more attention to Morningstar Semiconductor's affairs after returning to China.
"That's it. If possible, I still hope that Changhong and Meiling can develop the LCD market together." Ni Runfeng only mentioned his expectations at the end, "Their cooperation will be a win-win situation."
Fang Zhuo said "hmm" and ended the call with the retiring old man.
Because he was in Turin to watch the Winter Olympics, Yu Hai was given a leave, so he handwritten down Lao Ni's analysis and judgment on Morningstar Semiconductor in a small notebook, and then contacted Zhang Xuebin to arrange overseas channels for Meiling Electric.
Zhang Xuebin also knew that the situation had reached a critical moment and talked about Meiling's future strategy of combining online and offline channels. He did not mention Tesco, but he mentioned Tesco in every sentence.
Fang Zhuo didn't have any fluctuations in his heart, but he thought about the future of intelligence. If Morningstar can dominate the LCD era, I'm afraid it can continue to occupy share in the development of smart TVs.
If smart TV chips can be designed, can smartphones provide experiences?
Should we increase our shareholding or find ways to acquire it?
This is a question that needs to be thought about.
Fang Zhuo made a heavy mark in his heart. If there really is such a long-term development, Lao Ni will make a contribution.
Zhang Xuebin was chatting on the phone, but he only got a few words from Mr. Fang, such as "Yes, it's good, I should pay attention to it." He couldn't help but sigh that Mr. Fang was Mr. Fang, and his steady demeanor was extraordinary.
His somewhat excited mood calmed down and he described his exchanges with Changhong seriously.
Fang Zhuo listened for a while and finally ended the call after expressing his confidence in him.
It was a bit late and I didn't go out again at night.
When Su Wei came back from chatting with Yu Hong, she saw Mr. Fang's expression when she entered the room.
"What? Is there a phone call in China?" Su Wei asked with a smile.
Fang Zhuo was surprised: "How did you guess that?"
"As soon as you enter this room, the desk seems to have turned into a conference table at Hang Lung 23, and the pajamas you are wearing seem to have turned into a suit." Su Wei said her feelings and sat on the sofa, "I can't help it either.
Report work to President Fang."
Fang Zhuo laughed.
"Our President Yu believes that Yike Overseas led by her still has potential that has not been realized." Su Weizhen reported on the communication that was both public and private, "So, she declined the offer given to her by me, the director.
suggestion."
Su Wei and Yu Hong are both members of the board of directors of Yike.
Fang Zhuo nodded slightly and made no comment.
"You don't seem surprised?" Su Wei looked at the man in front of her.
"Yike is a successful company, but now it has the opportunity to become great." Fang Zhuoyan commented concisely. "It is undoubtedly a big challenge to realize this opportunity, but she is willing to try."
Su Wei smiled and said: "Hurry up and say more."
Fang Zhuo said without changing his face: "However, business challenges are everywhere. For example, e-commerce will profoundly change everyone's lives. How to compete with powerful international giants and how to fight with domestic peers are all very difficult.
It tests the manager’s wisdom, ability, courage and vision.”
He continued: "When it comes to this, I have to say that one of the representatives of China's e-commerce, Ms. Su Weisu, leads Tesco to break the traditional business model and promote rapid changes in consumption, logistics, and productivity.
"
Su Wei said leisurely: "Mr. Fang speaks so nicely."
"It's all from the bottom of my heart." Fang Zhuo said seriously.
Su Wei smiled half-heartedly: "If you say that, I'll believe it."
She shook her head slightly: "The closing ceremony is tomorrow. I took a vacation, and suddenly I felt that this was good. If she could come back and take over Tesco, I would be a lot more relaxed."
"After nearly two weeks of rest, nothing major happened in the company, which fully proves that as long as it is on the right track, it can run well and everyone is very capable." Fang Zhuo said, "It's good to be good at employing people."
Su Wei didn't want to discuss the company's affairs.
She stood up, poured tea, and said, "You need to discuss work with her tomorrow. Maybe she will listen to you."
Fang Zhuo smiled and said, "How could it be?"
"Try it." Su Wei put the tea cup on the desk, "I went to chat with my aunt, and I will buy some gifts tomorrow."
She walked out of the room, leaving Mr. Fang with space to think.
The next day.
Fang Zhuozhen discussed job issues with Yu Hong.
He asked: "Mr. Yu, are you going back to China?"
Yu Hong said without hesitation: "I won't reply."
"Don't mix personal factors." Fang Zhuo said.
"You have so many things, how can you be more mother-in-law than Weiwei? Where are the financial media you are looking for? Wait until you return to China to alert others?" Yu Hong said impatiently.
"This is not a vacation. In the afternoon, I'll talk to someone from Bloomberg. They should also have reporters in Italy," Fang Zhuo said.
"Is there one in Turin? Can it have influence?" Yu Hong asked.
Fang Zhuo replied: "There must be someone coming to cover the Winter Olympics. Bloomberg helped. I am his distinguished VIP member."
Yu Hong knew about this matter. Once, a New York congressman approached Yi Ke about it. After recharging money to Bloomberg, who was backed by the mayor of New York, it was naturally settled.
She raised her eyebrows: "Okay, I'll go back to New York the day after tomorrow to see if I can see what Apple is doing."
Fang Zhuo chatted with her about Yike's mobile phone project again.
After finishing the two cups of tea, he finally mentioned the matter of returning to China: "The company's business cannot be completed. If the focus of the mobile phone is on the right track, it will gradually shift to the country. Returning to China is not impossible, otherwise, during the New Year and the holidays,
,I always……"
Fang Zhuo wanted to say "I can't bear it" but felt that this word was inappropriate, so he didn't say it.
"Let's look at it again. At the very least, whether it's the development of the Android system, the setup of the R&D center, or the recruitment of talent experts, New York has more advantages. If Apple really wants to make independent mobile phones instead of cooperating with Motorola, it will be based on past research and development.
The advantage must be greater." Yu Hong said lightly, "'Getting on the right track' is easy to say, but it is still difficult to do."
She breathed out again: "As for the New Year holidays, when I received your text message during the New Year, it was still daytime in New York. At night, I looked for the moon in the sky for a long time and found that there was no moon at all on New Year's Eve. I suddenly discovered
, it’s okay.”
Fang Zhuo was silent for a while and said, "That's good."
He picked up the teacup: "I have full respect for Mr. Yu's contribution to Yike."
Yu Hong glanced at Mr. Fang: "Just respect is not enough. I need a budget and domestic support."
"Write it in the email and discuss it." Fang Zhuo drank tea by himself.
"Remember to be strict with Yu Hai and don't joke around with him." Yu Hong said a trivial matter.
Fang Zhuo responded and talked about his itinerary for New York in the middle of the year.
In the afternoon, reporters from Bloomberg covering the Winter Olympics came over to serve VIP members. Although they were sports reporters, they would transfer their general interviews to the financial department.
Fang Zhuo enthusiastically talked about Yike's business performance in the past year, saying that he would continue to provide better services to consumers in the music field.
In addition, he seriously talked about the company's business development and mentioned his iPhone plan for mobile phones.
Bloomberg reporters recorded the entire process, and it could be disseminated on Wall Street in about three or four days.
In the evening of February 26, Fang Zhuo watched the grand closing ceremony of the Turin Olympic Games with his family and friends and listened to Pavarotti's "Nessun Dorma".
For sixteen days, this was the longest vacation Fang Zhuo had taken since he started his business.
Overall, this was a rare mental relaxation, and it also made him feel that he had accumulated a lot of strength when he returned to China.
