Reinventing the Millennium

Chapter 411 Unpleasant (Two in One)

Fang Zhuo was interviewed by the Economic Daily at Bingxin’s office.

He received a call from the president's office of Shencheng Yike and talked on the phone with the visiting reporter. He knew that the other party wanted to report on the ice core project, so he agreed to the interview request.

However, after chatting for a while, Fang Zhuo realized that the two young reporters always wanted to bring the topic to the current public opinion war, and he had some speculations in his mind.

"Reporter Liu, do you want to interview Bing Xin when you come here today or do you want to ask me about my views on some public opinions?" Fang Zhuo said with a smile, "I have also met Zheng Junren, the editor-in-chief of your Economic Daily, several times."

Zheng Junren is the deputy editor-in-chief, and Fang Zhuo did meet once during a meeting in Beijing last year. The phone number is also saved in his mobile phone, but he has not interacted with him since.

The two young reporters looked at each other. Liu Dongchao, the reporter named by Fang Zhuo, did not expect to be asked this question suddenly. He said "uh", hesitated for three seconds, and said: "We really want to interview the ice core project, which is one of the few domestic semiconductor projects." Some big investors are, of course, also curious about Mr. Fang’s views on current public opinion.”

Fang Zhuo smiled slightly, knowing that he did not want to tell the truth, so he did not continue poking, indicating that the interview process should continue.

Sure enough, reporter Liu Dongchao's subsequent interview became serious, asking questions around the ice core, and Fang Zhuo also gave eloquent answers.

However, in addition to the large investment scale of Bingxin, it is just a foundry for the intermediate link in the IC industry. Even in terms of its industrial significance, some people say that it is better to buy than to build.

How can it be more interesting to talk about this than to have a big public debate?

What's more, this is not just an economic theory, there is an extremely exciting real-life case in front of you.

The drowsy second half of the interview ended with Fang Zhuo's explanation of the significance of the IC industry.

After all, Liu Dongchao was young. He finally had such an opportunity to interview Fang Zhuo. He couldn't help but asked at the end: "Mr. Fang, I heard that the Entrepreneurs Federation of Anhui Province visited the ice core two days ago. It has received a lot of attention recently." Gu Zoujun, who follows Greencool, has also communicated with Mr. Fang. What does Mr. Fang think of the debate on the restructuring of state-owned enterprises? "

The young reporter was motivated, but also a little uneasy after asking. Today's interview was different from what he imagined. Although the presidents of Yike and Bingxin were young, they were steady and magnanimous throughout the process.

Fang Zhuo thought for a few seconds and then spoke: "I didn't pay much attention to this matter. I just heard some opinions. How should I put it? I think it's better not to go to extremes. Are there any problems in the process of restructuring state-owned enterprises? There may be."

"But to say that private enterprises are guilty of original sin is too extreme."

"Theories can be said in various ways, but the actual business activities of our enterprises are often not either/or. For me personally, practice comes first."

Whether it is medical science, Yike, or Bingxin, Fang Zhuo's actions have never involved the property rights of state-owned enterprises, but now some supporters of Lang Xianping are already talking about original sin rather than original sin, which he feels is inappropriate.

Furthermore, Lang Xianping's operation has already become famous, Greencool has also been investigated, and the various disputes should be coming to an end.

Fang Zhuo reconciled with He Xini, and there is a more famous saying about "practice": cat and mouse. Anyway, he is bent on development, whether it is the Internet or semiconductors, just move forward.

Liu Dongchao breathed a sigh of relief and felt that Mr. Fang's opinion was more in line with his impression of today's interview, and his answer was very safe.

He shook hands with the young president politely and thanked him for accepting the interview.

Fang Zhuo invited reporters from the Economic Daily to stay for dinner but was declined. He returned to the office to think about the content of today's interview and felt that there would be no problem.

However……

President Yike's words still caused waves.

The Economic Daily conducted the interview on October 15th. Two days later, the interview about the Ice Core semiconductor project was published in the newspaper on the 17th. Fang Zhuo saw the latest newspaper that day, took a closer look, and found that the interview The content is all related to ice cores, without the last words.

On this day, Fang Zhuo still felt that although the reporter was a bit young, the things he reported were quite serious.

Unexpectedly, two days later, the "Economic Daily" on October 19th published a page of domestic entrepreneurs' views on the current public dispute, and the remarks of Yike President Fang Zhuo were among them.

In addition to President Yike, the other entrepreneurs interviewed are also well-known, and most of them are state-owned enterprises.

——“Of course, we must be cautious in the property rights reform of state-owned enterprises, otherwise it will easily lead to the loss of assets.”

——"I'm not familiar with Gu Zoujun, and I don't know much about his operation of Greencoal and Kelon Electric. Since there has been an investigation, the results will be available soon."

——"I am against MBO. No matter what other people do, I will stand up for the country as an enterprise."

——“If an enterprise wants to develop, it must also follow certain rules and cannot grow wildly.”

——"State-owned enterprises are developing well now. I don't think we can look at the current development from the old perspective. Many enterprises have rectified the name of state-owned assets, which has been ignored by many people."

Most of the comments were vaguely on Lang Xianping's side. In comparison, Fang Zhuo's steady response seemed more distinct.

This is like "the one who is willing to take the task takes a step forward." As a result, Fang Zhuo did not move forward, and everyone else took a step back. He became the one who took a step forward.

When some of Lang Xianping's supporters saw reports like this from the Economic Daily, they almost immediately thought that President Yike was implicitly opposed.

What theory do you know as an entrepreneur?

What position do you take?

You say it is not this or that? It is this or that!

The last person who dared to stand up has been sacrificed, and there are still people who dare to come out now?

Then, this group of people studied Fang Zhuo's various actions as an entrepreneur, including Guahao.com, Yike, Sina, Bingxin...

Tsk, it seems difficult to start, Guahao.com does not seem to make much profit, Yike sells music players, Sina is an Internet portal, Bingxin has just started... From the perspective of state-owned enterprise reform alone, there should be no connection between the two, and there is no collision or interaction between the two.

It is difficult for a group of people to make any substantial attacks for a while, but when Lang Xianping was asked about his opinion in an interview again, he, the famous economist, smiled and responded.

"I know Fang Zhuo, and I know that his business is very successful. It may be this success that makes him unclear about state-owned enterprises."

"Private enterprises can do well and go public, but can't state-owned enterprises do the same?"

"State-owned enterprises can also do well. Is China Telecom not good? Is it worse than private enterprises?"

This was the first time Lang Xianping mentioned Fang Zhuo. He was asked by a reporter about the report in the Economic Daily.

Just one day later, Lang Xianping took the initiative to mention Fang Zhuo, a young entrepreneur, for the second time in front of another media.

"I have learned about Fang Zhuo and know that he successfully used capital means to control Sina."

"This is a classic business case, but for state-owned enterprises, they must firmly grasp control and cannot fall into the hands of barbarians at the door like Sina."

"Don't get me wrong, this barbarian is not a word to describe individuals, but a word to describe malicious acquirers."

"When state-owned enterprises do not want to give up control, and the management has various ways to achieve this goal, such management has become the barbarians at the door, which must be prevented."

Two days later, Lang Xianping talked about Fang Zhuo for the third time in an exclusive interview with Sohu.

"Mr. Fang of Sina said that practice is the first priority, but practice must also be guided by theory."

"Especially, if a portal website like Sina that can publish news does not have the correct theoretical guidance, it is undoubtedly easy to make mistakes."

"I believe Mr. Fang should be able to truly understand this, and accordingly, he should also be able to understand some of the current problems."

In less than a week, the hot new economist frequently cueed the representatives of the Internet industry, and finally woke up the young president who pretended to be asleep.

But Fang Zhuo did not respond directly. He declined the sudden increase in media interview requests and only expressed his views indirectly through Sina.

This is the content given by the chief writer Xu Changlun, which briefly discussed Lang Xianping's metaphor that resounded throughout the media.

-Excellent management is not just a nanny, and their role in the enterprise is not just cleaning.

-It is possible not to engage in MBO-style property acquisition, but should we increase treatment, introduce modern enterprise management methods, and increase incentives such as options to give full play to subjective initiative?

Xu Changlun carefully defined the scope of the discussion and used Sina's development as an example to try to prove what role excellent management can play. The market value of his company is already dozens of times that of the previous two years.

Is this increase entirely due to the recovery of the Internet industry?

If it is just like this, why is Sohu's market value at the bottom?

After this article was published, Sina immediately repeated the netizen vote. Last time, 90% of the voters believed that Gu Zoujun had problems, and this time the result was that 90% of the voters believed that Fang Zhuo had no problems.

Soon, the reporter who was always chasing the latest battle situation handed the microphone to Lang Xianping.

Lang Xianping is not only a professor at the Hong Kong Chinese University, but also a professor at the Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business, which was just established last year.

He was interviewed by reporters again in the office where he publicly responded to Gu Zoujun, and talked about the netizen voting activities organized by Sina.

In Lang Xianping's view, such voting activities are actually a wrong move, which is helping himself because it actively expands the doubts about Fang Zhuo.

Are there any problems with Fang Zhuo in the operation process?

As a person who started his career with private enterprises and did not participate in the ownership of state-owned enterprises, he certainly would not have any problems with the reform.

But, did he have no other problems along the way?

Lang Xianping felt that the answer should be yes.

"Sina's vote is very interesting."

"I also saw this data. 90% of the people who voted thought Fang Zhuo was very good. Then I have a small procedural question. Are there more people who did not vote than this 90%?"

Lang Xianping said lightly: "This is just an entertainment activity on the website. It doesn't mean anything. Mr. Gu Zoujun publicly stated two weeks ago that he was not afraid of investigation. I wonder if Mr. Fang Zhuo is willing to make such a statement?"

"For example, as far as I know, there is a real estate development in Shanghai. Mr. Fang Zhuo's first entry into this industry still surprised me."

"I am not against private enterprises. I hope that private enterprises can develop in a healthy way."

"Only in this way can private enterprises develop faster and better."

Lang Xianping only said a few words on Fang Zhuo's issue. He spent more energy on responding to new questions raised by Zhang Weiying and others from Peking University.

When such a popular economist simply pointed out the direction, some of his supporters automatically followed it.

Are there any problems with the East Five Block?

Does the newly established Yongke Real Estate have any loan problems?

Even, are there any problems with projects like Bingxin that claim to invest 10 billion yuan?

For such a large investment, is the money in it clear?

As Lang Xianping and his supporters found the second private entrepreneur, Zhou Qiren of Peking University also put forward a point of view.

"Fang Zhuo is undoubtedly an excellent entrepreneur. I even think that such issues do not need to involve people like him at all. As long as the property rights reform continues to develop, it must be taken seriously."

"The problem is that the difficulties in this field are unique."

"There was no clear agreement and no sound regulations at the beginning. How easy is it to go back and clarify the share of property rights reform now?"

"It is precisely based on this point that Fang Zhuo and I have the same view. Practice is the most important quality in this process."

When public opinion begins to argue and when someone goes to extremes, a simple problem is not so simple, not to mention that this is not a simple but an extremely complex problem.

At the end of October, Qiu Ciyun returned to Luzhou from New York. More engineers arrived in Luzhou, and more administrative staff were transferred to Luzhou. Fang Zhuo and a group of leaders from Anhui Province and Luzhou witnessed the start of the pile foundation project of the production plant.

According to the plan, the waffle plate casting will be completed in 5 months, the main plant of the production line project will be capped in another 3 months, and the clean room will be positively pressurized for ventilation in another 2 months.

It can be said that the plant construction of the Bingxin project has been planned, and the complete plant construction will be seen at this time next year.

Fang Zhuo was very happy, and the leaders were also very happy.

In this case, Qiu Ciyun continued to stay in Luzhou, and Fang Zhuo flew to Shanghai in the enthusiasm of the leaders. He had to deal with Yike's US listing and happened to take a look at the procurement of US equipment.

On October 31, Fang Zhuo and two secretaries and assistants arrived at the Shanghai airport.

When he drove to Yike's headquarters in Hang Lung 23, there were reporters eager to interview downstairs.

Fang Zhuo bumped into the camera head-on without any intention of responding to the questions.

However, when the words "Dongwukuai" and other words came to his ears, and when the reporter asked Mr. Fang about his opinion on Lang Xianping's frequent mention of him, Fang Zhuo still gave a faint response.

"It's unpleasant."

The young president returned to Hang Lung 23 with the enthusiasm of the leaders of his hometown and the public opinion that was swept up in his face.
