Chapter 887 Advancement (4k)

At three o'clock in the afternoon on April 2, Ma Xiliang, the president of the Shanghai Federation of Industry and Commerce and the General Chamber of Commerce, ended his activities early and hurriedly returned to the office to wait for Mr. Fang Zhuo, the vice president of the chamber of commerce, who had made an appointment to visit at 3:30.

The Shanghai General Chamber of Commerce is an organization that unites the business community. It is a crouching tiger, hidden dragon. The position of vice president alone is held by more than 20 big names from all walks of life.

However, despite Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Vice President Fang is still the most special one.

Ma Xiliang didn't want to neglect this business leader who didn't usually deal with him, so he was thinking about how to deal with his simple intention on the phone.

In normal times, Vice President Fang rarely shows up at Chamber of Commerce events, and only attends twice at the beginning and end of the year. However, this is not unusual. On the contrary, he has actually given resources to the Chamber of Commerce.

Previously, Yike Company provided a connection with U.S. legal services, which really helped many companies that were unfamiliar with foreign laws and solved many practical problems in foreign trade.

Now, this Yangtze River Delta...

Ma Xiliang was a little confused, wondering if Vice President Fang had any deeper meaning.

At 3:20, although the talks had not yet started and he had not yet figured out his purpose, he still listed the feasibility and practical significance of the so-called Yangtze River Delta business resource docking framework.

Ma Xiliang put down his pen and looked at the time. Seeing that there were ten minutes left, he changed his cup of tea, opened the browser and clicked on a web page bookmark.

Zhihu.

The Internet is a rapidly developing sunrise industry, and Zhihu is a wonder in this industry.

As the president of the General Chamber of Commerce, Ma Xiliang loves the well-spoken talents here and often explores topics in different fields in his spare time.

Ten minutes passed in a blink of an eye. Just when Ma Xiliang closed the website, he caught a glimpse of a related answer to an unrelated question.

——Q: What is the most exciting thing you have ever done with the opposite sex?

——A: I bought Mr. Fang’s short-selling Lehman fund.

Ma Xiliang was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly.

Unexpectedly, there was a knock on the door at this time. He knew that the real owner had arrived, and he could only hold back his laughter as soon as he started.

Ma Xiliang tried his best to adjust his expression, stood up and opened the door for the visiting Vice President Fang.

"Mr. Fang, afternoon, cough cough cough, Mr. Fang, sit down, sit down."

Ma Xiliang's voice was loud and his cough was also loud.

Fang Zhuo was just about to say hello when he saw that the president was coughing badly. The first thing he did when he entered the office was to pour him some water.

Ma Xiliang covered up his embarrassment by drinking water. This was serious. He clearly wanted to show enthusiasm and respect!

"Mr. Fang, sit down, sit down, and try the orchid bamboo shoot tea from Sheshan. It has a unique flavor."

Chairman Ma calmed down his emotions and poured tea enthusiastically.

"Well, the aroma is tangy." Fang Zhuo took a few sips, gave a simple praise, and started to engage in regular greetings.

Although it felt a little strange when he walked in today, he and Ma Xiliang had met each other before, and they could also build a relationship within the framework of the General Chamber of Commerce.

After the unfamiliarity with each other was resolved, Fang Zhuo mentioned his intention to come this time, to prepare for the establishment of a business resource matching association in the Yangtze River Delta, and to go to Europe for a business inspection when he had time.

Ma Xiliang already knew the intention to establish the association on the phone, but the overseas business inspection...

It is actually quite common for chamber of commerce activities to go overseas for inspections. However, when someone like Mr. Fang comes to do this in person, he has to think more about it.

In particular, this matter is still very clear today - Fang always wants to form an association, and then use this association to go overseas for inspection, focusing on the subsequent actions.

Ma Xiliang had a charter in mind. He talked about the significance of regional commercial interoperability and retreated for a while.

Then, seeing that Mr. Fang looked serious, he considered his stance: "Mr. Fang, your proposal is a good one, but what should we do specifically? Should we do it once this year, or should we take everyone out to see it in recent years? Or, the framework is fixed.”

Fang Zhuo said: "President, do whatever suits you best."

Ma Xiliang still considered: "If it can be done, then it is definitely better to fix this kind of communication promotion, which will save trouble in the future."

Fang Zhuo nodded cheerfully and said: "No problem, we can set up an association directly. We can regularly participate in the Yangtze River Delta, and we can also participate in overseas business projects conditionally."

"This needs to be reported to the higher authorities for approval." Ma Xiliang said this first, and then continued, "Mr. Fang mentioned overseas and Europe. Which countries specifically?"

Europe is huge, and the point is that he feels that Fang always has a purpose.

Fang Zhuo didn't mention the ice core thing, but he didn't hide what he had come into contact with: "Yike mobile phones are selling well in Europe. The operator partner there is Deutsche Telekom. I am also familiar with Deutsche Bank and have had experience with it." We have cooperated many times, and the current financial market is a bit turbulent. They invited me to go shopping there. If I have time at the end of the year, I would like to take everyone together to see if there are any good opportunities. My family alone has always been somewhat indistinct in the past. one."

Ma Xiliang almost understood some of the situation. There was an invitation from Germany, and he took advantage of the situation.

He knew that Deutsche Telekom was the largest telecommunications operator in Europe, and he also knew about Deutsche Bank's status in Germany. With two companies like this, it is estimated that there are some hard goods in it.

Ma Xiliang muttered the word "Germany" in his mind and felt that there was no big problem. The economic and trade activities of exchange of goods and supplies were supported. Moreover, Germany itself is the top three exporting countries in the world and the only European one among the top ten trading countries in China. country.

"In principle..." As soon as Ma Xiliang said this word, Mr. Fang frowned, and he immediately explained, "Mr. Fang, this is not that kind of principle, this is true. In principle, there is no problem. Economic activities pursue pragmatism and cooperation. A win-win situation is what everyone wants to see.”

Fang Zhuo nodded slightly and added: "The main reason is that this time Germany is planning to attract investment and provide subsidies. Deutsche Bank also has some good cooperation conditions. Any company that has the conditions can give it a try."

Ma Xiliang was a very pragmatic president, and his interest immediately became higher. He asked about the subsidies and conditions mentioned by Mr. Fang.

Fang Zhuo pondered for a while, but first mentioned the premise of the current financial market. In the face of expected shocks and economic weakening, Germany is brewing subsidies, infrastructure, tax cuts and other means.

This actually feels like déjà vu.

Just like the "home appliances to the countryside" subsidies that Fang Zhuocai talked about with electrical appliance brands a while ago, they are all similar measures to deal with the economic crisis, not to mention infrastructure.

However, it remains to be seen what economic trends will be used to implement the measures.

This is also the reason why Fang Zhuo wants to schedule the inspection at the end of the year. Only when a real crisis hits can he and the business inspection team get better cooperation conditions, and Germany is not a quagmire like Greece. The financial crisis and the European Germany is in the stronger group after the debt crisis.

Various factors, in addition to considering how to avoid risks in ice core, can really benefit the business group.

Ma Xiliang listened for a while and found that Mr. Fang was very coherent and organized.

He mentally planned how to investigate this matter in the past two days, and based on the service stance of the Shanghai General Chamber of Commerce, he asked: "Mr. Fang, in this case, the chamber of commerce needs to demonstrate and discuss with the city. Is there anything else here?" Need help solving a problem?”

Fang Zhuo glanced at Chairman Ma and said, "I came here today to ask if there are any problems that I need to help solve during the preparation process of the General Chamber of Commerce."

Ma Xiliang was startled, oh right...it's really not certain who will help whom to solve the problem.

Seeing that Mr. Fang was so determined, he thought briefly and said: "Mr. Fang, this Yangtze River Delta wants to set up an association. I have to communicate with the brother cities one by one. This process may take some time."

"It's no problem over there in Luzhou." Fang Zhuo also holds a position in the Anhui Provincial Chamber of Commerce, which is another hand in support. "There should be no problem over there in Lin'an. I'll make a call tonight to talk about it."

He thought: "There are still cities in the Yangtze River Delta that need to be included. Chairman Ma, what do you think is appropriate? This should be considered a good thing. I will try my best to help ask."

The Yangtze River Delta involves three provinces under its jurisdiction, and many cities are certainly not included in it. Choosing the right city to prepare for construction is also a task that needs to be done. Some cities may not be willing to bother, but the Shencheng General Chamber of Commerce is still quite spirited.

Ma Xiliang perked up and said with a smile: "Mr. Fang, if you say this, the progress of this association will definitely be greatly accelerated."

In principle, this association is a non-governmental organization supported by the administration. If it really wants to push forward quickly, it can move forward very quickly.

Fang Zhuo nodded slightly and concluded: "In general, this is purely voluntary. Anyone who has the conditions and needs can try it. I feel that there are many complementary areas. I will go out and have a look at the end of this year. If nothing can be negotiated, I can still help." Lay the foundation for the future.”

This is also the consideration of Bingxin. It doesn’t matter if a big project cannot be negotiated for a while. It takes many years for many investments to be completed.

In addition, he is still thinking about what specific methods should be adopted to invest and build a factory in Germany.

Bingxin and SMIC are both registered overseas in the Cayman Islands. However, the latter's financing had to be introduced to Datang Telecom this time, and the main shareholders are becoming more and more domestically identifiable.

Fang Zhuo considered that Bingxin’s international shareholders and even the MIGA fund itself were operating abroad, and felt that German investment might be able to put another layer on it.

For example, the most famous semiconductor company in Germany is Infineon. Qimonda, which it spun off, operates independently and is also a partner of Ice Core.

Maybe we can also consider separating the ice core by a layer, which would be more troublesome, but Fang Zhuo always feels that it would be better to have more eyes.

When he thought about this, he thought of Qimonda, which was losing blood, and of the power semiconductors that its parent company was proud of.

Taking advantage of this financial crisis and making some money, Bingxin, in addition to a little action on Qimonda, also needs to conduct research on power semiconductors. This is a relatively less cutting-edge process, but it is widely used in the automotive industry and electric power industry. , electrical appliances are a major growth trend in the future.

Huahong, which is stuck in the country in purchasing equipment and introducing technology, is studying this direction.

Fang Zhuo did not talk to Chairman Ma about semiconductors. He thought that the schedule would be postponed anyway, and it was necessary to go to the capital again to talk about possible actions that Ice Core might need to take.

From 3:30 to 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the president and vice president of the Shanghai General Chamber of Commerce talked about the framework that the latter wanted, and basically followed this idea.

"Mr. Fang, after our talk today, I feel particularly uplifted." Ma Xiliang personally escorted Mr. Fang out, taking out his compliments as he walked.

Fang Zhuo listened to a few words and said with a smile: "President, when this framework can really be established, we will be excited together."

Ma Xiliang shook hands with Mr. Fang warmly and sent this unusual vice president away.

It's time to get off work today, and the next two days will be weekends.

Ma Xiliang planned to start the preparation process on the working day, and talk to several major cities in the Yangtze River Delta about the business resource docking association, and also look forward to the inspection in Europe.

Economic activities are all about giving and taking. Today I go to inspect, tomorrow you come to inspect, and the back and forth promotes development.

As long as there is a leader who is willing to do it, Ma Xiliang believes that this is feasible, and Mr. Fang has connections in Germany, so it is even more worthwhile to invest energy to promote it.

That night, President Ma was at home seriously planning the work for next Monday.

However, calls came in one after another, first from the head of the Federation of Industry and Commerce in Lin'an, then from Jinling and Suzhou, and then from Luzhou.

He had just talked to Mr. Fang during the day, and he started to push this matter forward in the evening.

While sighing at the energy and ambition of the vice president, Ma Xiliang changed his plan and planned to work overtime on the weekend.

The next day, what really surprised him was that the leaders of the city took the initiative to call and ask Mr. Fang about the whole story of this matter. When the leaders asked about semiconductors, he was a little numb.

There is indeed something inside, and it will be pushed forward very quickly.

Now we just need to better cooperate with Mr. Fang.

…

While the Yangtze River Delta Chamber of Commerce is pushing forward, Fang Zhuo is in a very ordinary mood.

Regarding Bingxin's investment in a new factory, it is not the first time he has discussed it with Mr. Qiu Ciyun, nor is it the first time he has reported it to the leaders, but he can feel that everyone is relatively noncommittal about his concerns.

However, after all, he is the head of Bingxin, and after he really expresses a certain attitude, it makes others helpless.

Fang Zhuo himself is helpless, and others are helpless, and everyone is helpless.

Fortunately, he soon received the good news of Qimonda's order cut again.

The niche storage orders of Lin'an Plant 2 had been cut by half by Qimonda before. This time, Qimonda's head Luo Jianhua called and talked about the remaining half of the orders in an extremely heavy tone, implying that all of them would be cut.

This also means that the production line of Lin'an Plant 2 can only maintain a minimum level of operation.

Luo Jianhua gave Fang Zhuo a reason that was hard to refuse: Qimonda's huge losses continued, and we had to ask for help from the parent company.

Qimonda had lost nearly 100 million euros in the past two months and was already struggling.

"Mr. Fang, if this continues, we may be in danger of bankruptcy. The situation is very bad, and I know you are in trouble too." Luo Jianhua tried to make up for it from other places, "If Bingxin needs it, we can talk about DRAM technology licensing."

Qimonda was previously only willing to license niche storage, not mainstream DRAM storage technology.

Fang Zhuo calmly rejected Luo Jianhua's offer: "No, Mr. Luo, Bingxin's budget is also very tight, and we can't afford to introduce technology for the time being."

He was unwilling to transfer even a little bit of money to Qimonda, fearing that he would accidentally pull up the European storage dream.

But he still agreed to the other party's order cut. He had to agree to it, and the foundry fee was still owed.

Luo Jianhua expressed his gratitude and promised to discuss the timing of Bingxin's entry into the DRAM field after the situation improved in the future.

Fang Zhuo believes that the day Qimonda collapses may be the day when Bingxin enters DRAM.

He ended his contact with Luo Zhangmen and took the time to look at the short-selling plan of the MIGA fund system. He was shocked. Qimonda, Infineon, Morningstar Semiconductor... they almost paid to short Yike itself.

This year is the year of mobile phones and also the year of short-selling. Fortunately, the small actions behind the scenes that go against one's will will soon end, so that everyone can return to peace.
