The first day of August on the e-commerce website is attracting attention in the industry.
Unfortunately, frequent f5 refreshes failed to bring Yike mobile phones online.
This not only disappoints some consumers, but also disappoints some business partners, and we have to continue to hold meetings to discuss. We have to go through this process even though we know that we can't get anything out of it.
Fang Zhuo originally wanted to take Dr. Liang and Professor Hu to visit his Yike headquarters this morning, but they were not interested in it and chose to conduct their own research and discussions nearby.
The arrangements changed slightly, and Liu Qiangdong came over to report on the arrangements for the mainland market.
Yike's Chinese market has been sharpening its skills after witnessing the performance of mars2 overseas. However, due to special circumstances, the calling gun is on the operator's side, so everyone can only remain patient.
It was obviously not going to work on the first day, but considering that the Olympic Games opened on the 8th, it would be a good idea to move the time later. Some promotional slogans related to gold medal honors and other appropriate events were already in the plan.
That afternoon, Fang Zhuo called China Unicom again and discussed a more precise sales time for the mobile phone.
Unfortunately, China Unicom is worried that Yike Mars will sell too well, so it strongly recommends that the sales time be set after the Olympics, in order to make way for the momentum of mobile standard pilot machines.
Fang Zhuo can understand that his partners are not only considering the market level, but also agrees with this approach.
The Olympic Games will open on August 8, and the two sides have initially set a timetable for the 10th or 15th.
Because it is a rare sports event, Fang Zhuo received the invitation early, so he and his family will be there to watch the opening ceremony at 8:08 pm. At that time, they will decide whether to hold a small press conference in Beijing and China Unicom.
After all, this is the first appearance of Yike mobile phone in China, and China Unicom has indeed given a lot of cooperation.
Fang Zhuoren returned to China and settled down in Shanghai for a few days. On the one hand, he checked and filled up the work content that Dongzi was responsible for, and on the other hand, he sorted out the next actions quite comprehensively.
Morningstar Semiconductor chose to list in Hong Kong, and the process went smoothly. According to the plan, it will be listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange next month.
The progress of Yongke Real Estate is slower, probably in October or November.
Fang Zhuo doesn’t know if Morningstar can catch up with Lehman’s collapse, but Yongke will definitely be after that.
However, Yongke Real Estate's fundamentals are actually relatively stable, while Morningstar Semiconductor's fundamentals are beginning to show signs of being less stable.
Morningstar has shown a strong intention to enter mobile phone chips. Companies such as Qualcomm and Samsung that occupy the mid-to-high end will not give it a second glance. However, MediaTek, which produces low-end chips, will directly encounter competition.
There is no need for further confirmation from MediaTek. The heads of both parties have already met at Yike's Silicon Valley R&D center and are very clear about Morningstar's competitive direction.
Therefore, while MediaTek is intensively increasing its investment in the research and development of new chips, it is also trying every means to leverage Morningstar's business in the TV chip field, weakening and solving this competitor both from the front and from the root.
Fang Zhuo watched these situations as if they were in the palm of his hand and could only try his best to ensure his neutrality.
As for Changhong, Meiling and others, everyone has to eat. They try new chip suppliers for business, and they can't control that much. I can only say that business competition is really sinister...
If you are not careful, you will retreat if you do not advance.
In addition to the listing of the two companies, the long-awaited bankruptcy of Lehman is not far away.
Fang Zhuo knew that Lehman was really unable to get money from various channels. Some golf friends mentioned some discussions within the administration and believed that Lehman was likely to suffer the same fate as Bear Stearns and Morgan.
The fallout from acquisitions.
After all, Lehman’s involvement is quite large.
Overall, Fang Zhuo still thinks that Lehman's death will be quite exciting.
On August 6, less than two days before the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, Fang Zhuo and his party were unable to take a private plane because of the large number of people, so they had to take a passenger plane to the capital.
Along the way, Fang Zhuocai and Zhou Xin had a good chat about what he had done.
The medical company was awarded an additional corporate honor by Shanghai City last month in recognition of its persistence in market product evaluation, the most prominent of which was the carefully investigated milk powder incident in June this year.
This time, medical companies were under a lot of pressure, and Sina's section columns were also under pressure.
Fortunately, the matter was finally resolved.
In Fang Zhuo's view, the turmoil this has caused to domestic milk powder has been much smaller, but it is still a huge upheaval for the industry.
"Mr. Fang, a lot of people probably hate me this time." This is the first time Zhou Xin has taken on such a large and additional responsibility in the past few years, and he has a lot of emotions.
"Has anyone anonymously sent you text messages, called you, poked car tires, or sent letters?" Fang Zhuo asked.
Zhou Xinning said: "It was true at first, but then I reported your name, and gradually it disappeared." Fang Zhuo laughed, and Xiao Zhou became more and more interesting. He has indeed experienced something.
Zhou Xin didn’t know why the boss was laughing.
"Just stick with this evaluation series. I think it's quite meaningful." Fang Zhuo said, "Just like you said, there is no extra pressure. When the time comes, my name will really apply. My name won't work, but it will still work."
Please help me find the leader."
Zhou Xin nodded silently, he had indeed repaid him, and he did not regard Brother Fang as an outsider. Isn't this his first choice?
But he didn't say much. He didn't have to say everything. There was a tacit understanding.
Zhou Xin changed the subject: "Many friends are here at the opening ceremony in Beijing. It's really lively."
"Who says it's not? The Olympics are right at home." Fang Zhuo smiled slightly, "Well, today, tomorrow, and two nights, you don't need to consider me in your plans. A group of people came to me, and I put together a team from Morningstar and MediaTek
Yes, there is also Luo Jianhua who came from the United States."
Zhou Xin was a little unfamiliar with the last name. After thinking about it for a while, he asked uncertainly: "Is it the one from Qimonda?"
Fang Zhuo nodded, it was Luo Jianhua, the head of Qimonda who was in a state of distress.
"Is he going to pay back the OEM fee?" Zhou Xin asked half-jokingly.
Fang Zhuo, the head of Luo, spread his hands helplessly: "Qimonda lost nearly 1.1 billion euros in the first half of the year, and Mr. Luo may not be able to pay it back anytime soon."
Zhou Xin had doubts in his mind, so why did Mr. Luo come to see the creditor?
Fang Zhuo had some small guesses, suspecting that Boss Luo still wanted to use the storage patent as an excuse.
However, he didn't expect that Luo Jianhua's first words when he saw him in the capital would be very direct: "Mr. Fang, I'm here to borrow money from you."
Fang Zhuo's hand shook up and down without saying a word.
Cut orders lavishly and default on OEM fees.
If you still come to borrow money under such circumstances, can you really be so kind?
"Mr. Fang." Luo Jianhua's tone was sincere and his attitude was very low, "I have found many people before I came to see you. You are the last hope of Qimonda."
Fang Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief and patted the back of Luo Jianhua's hand with his backhand.
Mr. Luo, then you have really found the right person.
