Chapter 1141 Direction (4K)
Fang Zhuo will not pay attention to an ordinary meeting of Tesco.
The matter of Fan Ke has passed from his heart, and the conversation with Chen Nian is just a small wave. At most, because of the unexpected phone call from Lao Xiong and Lei Zi, this wave has more colors in the sun.
At the end of the industry meeting, Fang Zhuo's call for mobile Internet appeared on the media page, and the Yixin data he disclosed also appeared on Penguin's desk.
More than 4000 million.
This is actually within Penguin's expectations.
But the rather mysterious "high proportion of active users" made Penguin restless and thorny.
How high is it!
The most important thing is that Letters from Penguin is not very easy to type in this dimension.
The number of users of Letters has just exceeded 2500 million, which is considered good in the current environment, but the number of active users is less than 700 million.
And, the letter is still facing a problem.
Xinxin not only competes with Yixin, but now with the homogenization of QQ's functions, some users continue to use QQ just by diverting them to Xinxin, which cannot form an effective fission.
This leaves Penguin with a choice to make internally.
Is it to cut off the function of QQ to fully support the letter, or continue to let this trump card software innovate?
If QQ is not cut, the competition with Yixin will be at a disadvantage, and QQ will be cut... Perhaps, QQ, which has a huge number of users, is Penguin's answer to Yixin?
Even Ma Huateng and Liu Chiping hesitated about the choice that might determine the rise or fall of the company.
However, the external competitive pressure is increasing, which cannot allow Penguin to weigh it slowly.
How to move All in is also a difficult problem.
On the evening of July 7th, Fang Zhuo arranged the chores before leaving.
Originally, he wanted to attend an event of Zhou Xin's charitable foundation, but because of the rush of time, he had to postpone it.
Fang Zhuo didn't like this kind of action very much, he felt that Zhou Xin was trustworthy, and he could just donate some money if he had nothing to do. However, Teacher Xiao Su criticized such an idea.
——It’s not that you are asked to show up occasionally, your name as the richest man can play a role in publicity, and a little bit of effect is good.
Fang Zhuo felt right, the title of the richest man has always been very useful in communicating with people, and maybe it can also be beneficial to other things.
Having dinner with their parents, Zhao Shumei and Fang Tong have always been like wild cranes since they realized that they can't run out of money. However, recently, whenever Zhao Shumei appeared at the dinner table, they communicated with each other seriously on company affairs.
"E-buy's listing will be successful within this year as usual, right?"
"I heard that the relationship between Goldman Sachs and Yike is not good, but it shouldn't be a stumbling block on the listing of Yibu, right?"
"Oh, it's better to go public as soon as possible. After burning so much money from investors, it will be considered an explanation after going public."
Comrade Zhao Shumei focused on the issue of e-buy going public.
Fang Zhuo didn't say a word to this, Su Wei just smiled and explained one by one, but never mentioned anything else.
A meal gave the feeling of a company meeting.
"Cough, mom, Qiqi came back from Xiangjiang. I asked her. She might be responsible for some of the work of Zhou Xin's charity fund. If you are fine, you might as well care about her life." Fang Zhuo put down the bowl and chopsticks, raised When it comes to my sister's job change.
Because of his major, Zhao Suqi occasionally helps Fang Zhuo with some financial matters. The work is not too busy, but it needs a trustworthy person to do it.
"She has an idea." Zhao Shumei was really distracted, and she was talking about her niece again.
However, before she left, she patted Su Wei on the shoulder and encouraged her, "Go public."
Su Wei waited until the two went upstairs, and finally couldn't help laughing.
"Obviously it's a good listing, why does it sound like I have a good baby, a eugenic and a fast birth."
"Shumei's heart is known to everyone." Fang Zhuo also smiled.
Su Wei got up and paced around, well, if it goes well, the listing can be completed within this year, but the company is not terminated after listing, and the follow-up work is also very important.
In particular, it is still a period of transition from PC to mobile, which also has a great impact on e-commerce.
Smartphones are becoming more and more organs outside of our bodies.
She thought about it, but she didn't talk about these considerations. Instead, she asked about the meeting of the two days and the schedule for the following time.
Fang Zhuo picked up an interesting story and said that he felt a little regretful that Qingzi was a stranger to him.
"He seems to be avoiding me a bit."
Su Wei didn't know if she had any self-knowledge when she heard this, and commented: "Mr. Li is thinking too much now, and there are some things that cannot be avoided."
She knew that one of Mituan's strategies was to force the previous projects to burn money. Li Guoqing's Dangtuan.com was in this category, and it seemed to be really effective.
Fang Zhuo shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'll go to Qindao after a visit from the company."
"Let's go to Mr. Zhang, or should you start a national tour together?" Su Wei smiled, "Oh yes, I ran into an interesting question in my meeting today. We talked about Yixin and the situation facing Penguins. It is necessary to choose one before the letter and QQ, tell me, how should they choose?"
Yixin is now the standard equipment of Yibu company, and it was also mentioned during the chat.
"That depends on Mr. Zhang, I can do it." Fang Zhuo answered the previous question first, and then thought for a while, "Because Yixin is getting stronger and stronger, there must be something to give up, otherwise it will be difficult to keep the core business."
He deconstructed a little and gave his own thoughts: "I know what you mean, um, choose from the standpoint of Penguin, but I think you can slowly accept the second position of communication products and focus on other fields. how do you feel?"
Su Wei froze for a moment, shook her head and said, "Impossible, how is this possible? Who can accept it!"
"Then it's wrong to choose no matter what. If you have to choose, I'll choose Q." Fang Zhuo said.
"What about the letters that have already cost a lot?" Su Wei asked.
"Die." Fang Zhuo shrugged, picked up the bag, "You're asking, what can I do, let me die first."
Su Wei only felt that these words were extremely plain and extremely cruel.
……
Fang Zhuo took a detour to the company by car, then went straight to the airport, and flew to Qindao on the "Qingzi".
This time, I first went to visit Zhang Rujing, an old friend who started the business, and then took Qindao as the first stop, flew to Beijing, went to Xi’an, went to Yangcheng, transferred to Pengcheng, went to Xiangjiang, returned to Luzhou, passed Suzhou, visited Wuxi, and finally returned to the city. Return to Shencheng.
Fang Zhuo wanted to see with his own eyes the status quo and mental outlook of domestic semiconductor-related companies.
Of course, because of the report from the Huaxia Wafer Manufacturing Service Alliance, he didn't expect too much from this situation, he just wanted to see it with his own eyes and take a look around.
At nine o'clock in the evening, the plane landed on Qindao, and soon met Zhang Rujing who was preparing for the banquet.
"Hey, Mr. Zhang, you still have the same style!" Fang Zhuo was very happy, and went up to give him a big hug.
"Thanks to the richest man for remembering me, I am getting old, and you Fang Zhuo are getting stronger and stronger!" Zhang Rujing laughed.
"It's a little awkward to talk about me so strong." Fang Zhuo shook his head, sat down, and poured wine.
The welcome banquet is a private banquet, without the company of local leaders.
"I read all the news, saying that you, Mr. Fang, are leading the competition between the four giants, and saying that this year is the year of YBAT's big battle." Zhang Rujing said with a smile, "It is said that you, Mr. Fang, have made Ma Huateng cry and Ma Dian heartbroken. Broken, Li Yanhong is the only one missing."
He continued: "Besides, what new phone of yours has just been released, shouldn't you be busy? Why come to my place when you have time?"
"What a mess." Fang Zhuo blinked, but he didn't expect Mr. Zhang to be concerned about current affairs, "The people under me can do things, what do you pay them for, isn't it so that I can relax, old Zhang , you have to learn from me."
Zhang Rujing nodded cheerfully, because he wanted to learn from the richest man. Since the richest man invested money in his factory, what he said made sense.
He raised his glass and said, "Okay, learn from President Fang and Yi Ke, your chip is doing well."
Fang Zhuo clinked his glasses and said with a smile, "That's right, hey, this is my fire of Zhu Rong."
"The name of your company, I really don't know whether to seriously consider it or come here casually." Zhang Rujing drank a glass of wine and complained, "Zhurong Chip, Danshuizhu Project, how did it all start?"
The Zhu Rong chip was naturally hand-picked by Fang Zhuo.
As for this "Freshwater Pearl Project", it is an internal plan of the Wafer Service Alliance.
If Fang Zhuo's judgment is correct, the naming was probably led by Secretary-General Liu Yangyang.
The so-called freshwater pearl plan means that domestic semiconductors are inferior to foreign countries in all aspects. Foreign companies are like expensive sea pearls, while domestic companies are like relatively cheap freshwater pearls.
However, although freshwater beads are cheap, if you choose them carefully and strung them into necklaces, they are also very beautiful to wear.
The wafer service alliance plays the role of a string of beads, and the method of the past two years is to match domestic companies and help introduce foreign funds for investment.
The semiconductor industry fund set up above is called a "big fund" in the industry, and the matchmaking of the wafer service alliance is called a "small fund".
The two funds are developed simultaneously. The former can often be related to administrative resources and planning, while the latter responds quickly and invests money happily.
"The name is not important, the key is whether it is useful or not." Fang Zhuo said disapprovingly, "I have been doing the 'I see who doesn't like semiconductors' scholarship in colleges and universities since 01 or 02, and I have often received handwritten thank you letters over the years. There are still many who went to Bingxin directly after graduation, so what’s the big deal.”
Zhang Rujing said with a smile: "You are always rich, so how can the school leaders say anything?"
Fang Zhuo sighed: "It's a good thing to have money. It's good to have money. This time I just want to see where mine, my money, and my friends' money are invested."
Zhang Rujing nodded, and poured the wine again.
Since leaving SMIC, he went from Shencheng to Qindao, keeping a low profile, just working hard on large domestic silicon wafers.
However, there are difficulties in both technology and talent.
Zhang Rujing is very grateful to Fang Zhuo, but whenever he has something to say, no matter what, sometimes Fang Zhuo himself does not reply, and the problem can always be resolved.
Fang Zhuo is not a god, and money cannot solve all problems. As long as there is some benefit, Zhang Rujing is very happy.
At the dinner table, the two of you had a drink and I had a drink, and the alcohol quickly came to the fore.
Fang Zhuo usually pays attention to drinking, and Zhang Rujing doesn't drink at all. Tonight is really in a good mood.
After drinking for three rounds, the food was nothing delicious, so Zhang Rujing simply got up and took Fang Zhuo to visit the factory next door, and wanted to introduce him to his current work progress.
Fang Zhuo readily agreed.
The two walked shoulder to shoulder and walked in front, while the others walked a few steps behind.
"Mr. Fang, tell the truth, did you invest in all the money the service alliance raised from abroad!" Zhang Rujing's voice was a little louder.
The people following quickly fell back a few steps.
Fang Zhuo didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Mr. Zhang, what are you thinking? If I want to invest money, I will invest generously. If I don't tell the world directly, this is not a shameful thing."
"You have far-reaching considerations, who knows." Zhang Rujing boasted.
"What's the use of thinking far-reaching? Recently, two groups of people in Bingxin have objections to the technical direction. I'm full of heads and don't know what to do." Fang Zhuo said distressedly.
Zhang Rujing said: "So, you came to ask me for advice?"
"Oh, that's not true. You are old. This is a difference in the latest technology. Can I not listen to the company's internal technical analysis and instead judge based on your old man's thinking?" Fang Zhuo said calmly.
Zhang Rujing: "..."
It's really true.
He said angrily: "You came here to stimulate me, right?"
"No, I'm taking you to other cities to see the investment situation and industry progress. You are not a member of the alliance, but you still have experience. Old hands and old legs can make use of the waste heat." Fang Zhuo said sincerely invitation.
"Okay, I agree." Zhang Rujing only heard the words "use the remaining heat".
Fang Zhuo smiled and said: "Hey, you old Zhang, how is your old Zhang here on Qindao? The industrial environment here, um, I still think you can just stay in Shencheng."
"It's not easy to have you in the town, change your mood, change your place, I signed a competition, and it's not easy for me." Zhang Rujing said with a smile about the previous things, and naturally talked about his observation of the current situation, "I heard that Taiji has started working overtime during this period, and it has to work hard to move forward, is there no technical barrier on its side?"
When Fang Zhuo heard the business, his drunkenness quickly subsided, and he muttered: "Tai Ji seems to be concentrating on overcoming the advanced manufacturing process, which is more than one advanced. The trouble now is that it has both technologies, and we can't take advantage of it." of other rocks."
As he walked, he introduced the technical judgments of Liang Mengsong, Qiu Ciyun, and Hu Zhengming, which involved the front-gate-level gate-first and back-gate-level gate-last solutions, which are respectively the technologies represented by IBM and Intel.
For a moment, Zhang Rujing seemed to have returned to his position as the head of SMIC, walking silently in the factory area, worrying about the company's choice of technology route.
After a long time, he let out a long sigh: "It's not easy to catch up here. It's inevitable that you will have to try and make mistakes. Mr. Fang, I shouldn't say anything, but I would like to say an extremely personal point of view. If I choose, I will choose the opinion of Liang Mengsong's team, Professor Hu is indeed very powerful, and indeed has high attainments, but sometimes people who are always in contact with the first-line craftsmanship have a natural sense of smell."
"Liang Mengsong has always been studying advanced manufacturing processes. Looking at him from Taiwan Records to Ice Cores, he was born to do this."
"I vote for Liang Mengsong."
Those without a vote cast a vote.
"You're still investing here, but the big silicon chip hasn't been produced yet, so I'm here to hold you accountable today." Fang Zhuo pretended to be intimidating without mentioning his inclination.
"Yes, yes, I still have to work harder." Zhang Rujing changed back to a new identity and was always committed to moving forward.
