Chapter 409 Iron-Headed Baby (Two in One)

Public opinion heats up, Bingxin buys an office floor.

Experts debate, and the apartments of the company employees are rented out.

Reporters interview, Yongke Real Estate, who received the news, arrived at the chairman's hometown.

The outside world is changing, Fang Zhuo quietly cultivates the project in Luzhou. His daily schedule is usually to attend the promotion meeting of the government department in the morning and listen to the work of Bingxin or Yike in the afternoon.

Only in the evening, after the small meeting, will he have time to care about the changes in public opinion.

Judging from the current situation, the level of consultation of experts and scholars from all walks of life is getting higher and higher, and the discussion and debate are all about the policy of the entire state-owned enterprise reform. According to Changhong Ni Runfeng's cold treatment, Fang Zhuo estimates that this person can still hold on for a while.

This does not mean that Changhong's problem will pass without any trouble, but the investigation of it may be carried out internally or in the province. Whether it is a subsidiary or an APEX dealer, I believe Ni Runfeng has some means to deal with it.

Fang Zhuo is quite relieved about this. President Ni does have a brain and does not jump up eight feet high at the first touch. If that were the case, he would probably have to go to jail in a few days.

Of course, Fang Zhuo thinks that those who have a little experience in this aspect will not rush into the fire with a hard head. When you are in the arena, you must be sensitive.

On October 6, Brown of IDG America left Luzhou first. As an international friend, he participated in many local meetings and witnessed President Fang Zhuo's progress in the project. He will give the company the most realistic feedback.

Luzhou is certainly not a developed city in China, but a wafer factory is just a foundry in the middle link of the IC industry.

Moreover, the money that IDG America wants to invest is 50 million US dollars, which is not small, but it is really not as good as Goldman Sachs and DCM. They are leading the investment openly, and IDG has Xiong Xiaoge, the president of China, who makes judgments based on local conditions, so this investment does not seem so difficult.

At the latest by the end of this month, IDG will be able to complete the investment of 125 million US dollars composed of US + China + social funds and become a shareholder of Bingxin CSMC. At that time, according to preliminary negotiations, Xiong Xiaoge will fully represent IDG as a director of the company.

Fang Zhuo saw Brown off with great joy and agreed to meet again in New York.

At nine o'clock in the evening, he finished another small meeting and asked Xiong Xiaoge, who had been in Luzhou for a week.

"Old Xiong, when will you return to Beijing? I see you walking around in front of me every day, and I almost thought you were an employee of our Yike."

"I'll be back in two days. Let's attend a corporate social gathering tomorrow and drink some good wine." Xiong Xiaoge reminded again, "Mr. Fang, you still have Yike's listing, don't forget various roadshows and the like."

"No hurry, Goldman Sachs has not submitted the registration to the SEC yet, and the roadshow will have to wait until December. If there is no problem, we will go to Nasdaq to ring the bell together at the end of the year or the beginning of the year." Fang Zhuo was in a very good mood and said, "If you want to drink good wine, you should have said it earlier."

Xiong Xiaoge was surprised and said, "You also stored wine here?"

He knew that Fang Zhuo really bought a batch of Moutai and left it in Shencheng, but he didn't expect that there was also in Luzhou.

Fang Zhuo shook his head: "How can I take care of this? Although there is no wine here, our Bingxin's director wants to drink, so I have to transport it here. I will take care of the wine for this social gathering tomorrow."

On the last day of the National Day holiday, Luzhou is going to hold a social gathering of well-known enterprises in the province, and the idea is still to attract investment.

The successful settlement of such a large-scale project of Bingxin has made Luzhou, Anhui Province, more and more eager to try.

Fang Zhuo considered that Lao Xiong was about to leave Luzhou. No matter how much joking and sarcastic he said, he immediately notified Shencheng and asked them to transport a batch of vintage Moutai wine overnight, and then informed the municipal office of such a thing when he confirmed that the wine was about to arrive the next day.

The person in charge of the social gathering in the municipal office was stunned for a long time, and did not dare to refuse the provincial project celebrity on the phone. After hanging up, he turned to ask the leader, and finally counted this batch of wine as sponsorship by Yike Group, which was considered complete in terms of procedures.

On October 7, Fang Zhuo was still busy for most of the day, and then went to the banquet with Xiong Xiaoge and Zhang Dongping.

Originally, Zhang Dongping was not on the guest list, but Fang Zhuo considered his current status as the butler of Bingxin, and felt that today's visit would make him feel the importance of the president.

After all, although the well-known enterprises in Anhui Province are not well-known, the presence of leaders naturally has its own specifications.

Fang Zhuo doesn't care much about this specification, but others may not care.

At 7:30 in the evening, Fang Zhuo, who received a call from Goldman Sachs temporarily, made a short call, and then walked into the hotel banquet hall together.

"Hey, there are fewer people than I thought, isn't it time to start yet?"

Fang Zhuo glanced at the banquet hall of the cocktail party buffet, which was a bit strange.

"It's been half an hour since it started." Xiong Xiaoge smiled meaningfully, "Maybe some state-owned enterprises have been keeping a low profile these days."

The public opinion is very agitated. Lang Xianping's "state retreat and private advancement" and the debate between Peking University's Zhou Qiren, Zhang Weiying and others have new tricks almost every day. They are dissatisfied with the timeliness of newspapers and use Sina, Sohu, and NetEase's Internet platforms to spread their views. They have supporters of each other.

This week coincides with the National Day holiday, and the number of clicks and comments on portal websites is also rising.

Fang Zhuo knows all about this, but he didn't expect that enterprises in Anhui Province would also be concerned about this aspect.

"Mr. Fang, Mr. Xiong, and Mr. Zhang." Luo Minghua, the secretary-general of the municipal office, saw Fang Zhuo and the other three who had just walked in with keen eyes. He walked through the crowd and greeted him warmly, and immediately led Fang Zhuo to the place where he had just stood. place, "Come on, let me introduce it to you."

"This is Mr. Fang from Bingxin, Mr. Xiong from IDG, and Mr. Zhang from Bingxin." Luo Minghua smiled broadly and introduced the leader in the crowd, "This is Mr. Gu from Greencool."

Before Fang Zhuo could react, Xiong Xiaoge's expression was a little subtle. Mr. Gu of Greencool? Gu Chujun? One of the four companies named and criticized by Lang Xianping?

A few seconds later, Fang Zhuo also remembered this company.

Doubts appeared in both of their minds, why did Gu Zoujun appear here?

Soon, with pleasantries, the question was answered.

Fang Zhuo and Xiong Xiaoge had previously been impressed by Greencool because of Lang Xianping's roll call, but they didn't know the details of the situation. As a result, Greencool was really qualified to appear here.

In the first half of this year, they acquired 20% of Meiling's shares, and Meiling was a home appliance company that was rarely famous in China in Luzhou in the past few years.

Not only that, Greencool itself is a company listed on the Xiangjiang Growth Enterprise Market. In the past two years, it has successively acquired equity interests in companies such as Kelon Electric, Lin'an Xileng, and Shanghai Shanngling, and has made multiple capital arrangements in the field of home appliances.

On the one hand, Greencool used the Kelon Electric Co., Ltd. it controlled to mobilize capital, and on the other hand, it took frequent actions with companies controlled by Gu Zoujun himself. This is why Greencool was included in Lang Xianping's list of examples of criticism of state-owned enterprise restructuring.

Almost the same year that Gu Zoujun controlled Greencool and successfully listed it in Hong Kong in 2000, Fang Zhuo had just made his commercial debut. This was a real senior.

Of course, this is generally not calculated like this, otherwise many people on the Internet would have to call him low and small. However, Bingxin’s CEO will inevitably be surprised by his age.

This time is no exception.

"Mr. Fang is really young and promising. When I saw Mr. Fang, I was shocked to realize that I am old." Gu Zoujun said with a smile.

"A lot of people have told me that." Fang Zhuo unexpectedly admitted, then spread his hands and said, "The problem is, when it comes to competition, no one among the seniors will give way to a young man like me."

Xiong Xiaoge complained from the side: "Mr. Fang, if you want us to die, just say so. You are already a Forbes rich man without giving in. If you give in, will we still have money in our pockets?"

When the president of an investment institution spoke like this, a group of people laughed.

Secretary-General Luo Minghua recently learned a lot about Fang Zhuo because he was responsible for docking ice cores. Seeing that the atmosphere was good, he also asked: "Mr. Fang, I heard that you have special experience in attracting investment. Just pass on whatever experience you have.”

Fang Zhuo said a little embarrassed: "Okay, how do you say this?"

He thought for a while and continued: "I do have a lot of dealings with investors, foreign, Hong Kong, and mainland investors. Sometimes I can feel their interest in the project as soon as I shake hands and look at each other. I was interested and then I voted.”

A group of people were all astonished at this statement...

Gu Zoujun smiled half-heartedly: "Then I regret shaking hands with Mr. Fang just now."

"Mr. Gu has great determination." Although Fang Zhuo had not heard much about Greencool before, he did not hesitate to be polite because of its juxtaposition with Changhong, Haier, and TCL. "There will be more opportunities in Luzhou in the future." Ask Mr. Gu about his experience in business management.”

Gu Zoujun waved his hands repeatedly: "No, we have to learn from Mr. Fang, especially the Internet."

The bridal sedan chair was carried by everyone, and the atmosphere of the reception gradually became more colorful.

The wine was shipped overnight from Shanghai. It tasted good, especially because it was mixed with the sincerity of the young president.

A group of people chatted for a while, and they could clearly feel that although Gu Zoujun was not from Anhui Province, he was quite famous here after acquiring Meiling shares, and he was vaguely respected by entrepreneurs in the province.

As the chat progressed, Fang Zhuo realized that Gu Zoujun was actually the honorary president of the Anhui Provincial Entrepreneurs Federation, which was quite prestigious.

Halfway through the reception, Luo Minghua, as the secretary-general, took the microphone and spoke semi-formally, focusing on President Fang Zhuofang of Bingxin, mentioning Luzhou's plan to vigorously develop, and introducing some preferential policies in the province.

The Secretary-General also asked Fang Zhuo to come on stage to say a few words, but Fang Zhuo declined. Then Gu Zoujun, the president of the Entrepreneurs Federation, came on stage to talk.

"This one doesn't look like much." Xiong Xiaoge held a wine glass next to Fang Zhuo and looked at Gu Zoujun on the stage. "It's quite flamboyant."

"Didn't you say that the mud fell off your crotch last time? Maybe Mr. Gu is open-minded." Fang Zhuo had already replaced the wine with a drink and said with a smile, "We can't just subconsciously judge that there is something wrong with anything that is criticized, right?"

Xiong Xiaoge frowned: "That being said, don't you think there are problems with the four companies criticized by Lang Xianping?"

"I don't think so." Fang Zhuo took a sip of his drink and saw Gu Zoujun finished his speech and walked off the stage with a smile on his face.

"It's probably nothing serious about him. Now more people's attention is on Changhong. I'm just waiting to see how Changhong handles it in the end." Xiong Xiaoge withdrew her gaze.

Fang Zhuo said "hmm" and saw Mr. Gu walking over to him with a glass of wine.

Today's famous enterprise gathering did not have many well-known people. People like Fang Zhuo and Gu Zoujun were already top-notch. Fang Zhuo had just returned to Luzhou, so people were not familiar with him. But Gu Zoujun was the president of the Anhui Entrepreneurs Association and had a wide range of friends. The two of them could naturally gather a small group of people who thought they were prestigious when they talked.

After chatting for a while, someone talked about the current hot public opinion, and the words were directed at Gu Zoujun.

"I don't know where these experts came from. They are for fame and profit, and no one cares about the damage they bring to the company!"

"It's simply inexplicable. I'm so angry for Mr. Gu!"

When Gu Zoujun heard this topic, he still had a smile on his face and said calmly: "Don't be angry. What's there to be angry about? A person with a clear conscience is not afraid of his own shadow. That Lang Xianping will know how powerful he is."

When he said this, others echoed him.

Fang Zhuo and Xiong Xiaoge looked at each other in surprise, but still said: "Boss Gu, it's better to be still at this time."

Gu Zoujun restrained his smile and said in a deep voice: "You can't let others slander you, right? Boss Fang, you are still young and don't know the power of this kind of public opinion. I will make Lang Xianping pay the price."

You can't let others slander you, I'm just afraid that you are really in trouble...

Fang Zhuo couldn't figure out the details of this person for a while. He didn't know whether he was as innocent as himself, or whether there were some illegal operations.

Moreover, Gu Zoujun looked so confident, could he really have any tricks?

Fang Zhuo nodded slightly and didn't express his opinion.

Since Gu Zoujun talked about the topic of public opinion, he gradually lost his calmness, and his words were filled with anger and condemnation.

"What will he do? Boss Fang, guess."

The cocktail party and social gathering were coming to an end, and Xiong Xiaoge, who had been paying attention to the public opinion situation, couldn't hide his curiosity.

Fang Zhuo shook his head: "I don't know, Mr. Gu looks very confident."

"Indeed." Xiong Xiaoge became more and more curious, "If it works, I think I can learn how to deal with it."

However, only the next day, the response from Greencore was no longer considered for study.

On October 8, Gu Zoujun issued a statement, saying that he had officially sued Lang Xianping for defamation and asked him to make a correction and apologize.

At the same time, Kelon Electric announced that it would hold a seminar on "Kelon Development and Huaxia Enterprise Reform Path", inviting experts from the Enterprise Economics Research Institute of the State Council Development Research Center, and they issued a report that fully affirmed Kelon's reform experience.

On October 9, the report was published in major media, and Gu Zoujun personally accepted an interview, severely reprimanding Lang Xianping's unwarranted accusations against him, saying that he could withstand the investigation.

That night, Fang Zhuo sent Xiong Xiaoge to the airport.

"Good fellow, this Gu Zoujun is afraid that he can't make a big fuss. Changhong's attention has been disturbed by him." Xiong Xiaoge was talking about Gu Zoujun's Greencore all the way. He never expected that he would make a big fuss.

Fang Zhuo couldn't help but smile bitterly: "He should be surnamed Wei, not Gu. It's like standing under the camera of various media and shouting "Who dares to kill me" three times..."

"Is he really without any problems? So confident, so high-profile." Xiong Xiaoge was confused.

"Let him go, just be a spectator." Fang Zhuo shook his head, "If it rains, it can't be stopped."
