After rebirth, I became a great master

Chapter 625 Points of Contention Regarding Joint Ventures
Next, we split up and acted separately.

Ji Yingyang contacted Tokyo Electron through Qiao Hai to advance the agency agreement. It wasn't about distributing the IC card's RF chip, but rather distributing a power supply module for that RF chip.

This is a business collaboration, with mutual interests at stake, and with Professor Fukuda from the University of Tokyo acting as an intermediary, an agreement could be easily reached.

Domestically, they were also divided into two groups.

Dongfang Lang operates within Fudan University.

Promote cooperation between universities, enterprises, and local governments to better embrace the market and obtain more policy support.

Zhou Haoran, on the other hand, went to see the city leaders.

During his previous trip south to rescue the market, Zhou Haoran established a good relationship with Secretary-General Yang Hong, who was also one of the core city leaders. Promoting the development of high-tech industries in the port area was a common goal for everyone.

This is absolutely beneficial in every way!
Soon, all parties will meet.

The first round of talks began.

There are three parties in total.

Fudan High Technology Corporation, a subsidiary of Fudan University, Haigang Commercial Investment Group, a subsidiary of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, and Zhou Haoran, who acted as the mediator.

Zhou Haoran did not want to get involved.

But both school and city leaders extended invitations, leaving him no choice but to accept.

This is also determined by the current social situation.

The market situation is very complicated.

These days, many "chip" companies have emerged in China, but none of them are very good. They are all in the stage of burning money and have to spend a lot of government subsidies every year.

If you're in the tech field and lucky, you'll lose less money.

More often than not, it means bankruptcy.

Even the renowned Peking University Founder Group, which appears glamorous and claims to be China's largest technology giant, has been on a downward trend since the beginning of this year, with its assets shrinking...

It's really just that we've done too much research and development.

Make ends meet.

Those domestically developed technological products simply lack competitiveness in the market. Despite spending so much money developing them, consumers simply don't buy them. Consumers are paying for products, not for the lofty ideals of domestic technology; sentimentality is unlikely to translate into cash.

Just like Lenovo, a couple of years ago Lenovo was working on technology and making program-controlled switches. At first, they were very ambitious, but after they made them, the products were all stuck in the factory warehouse and could not be sold. Consumers simply did not accept them, which led to the complete exit of the technology-driven companies.

Peking University Founder Group is similar.

The following year... in 1999, internal strife broke out within Founder Group, resulting in a "coup d'état".

The second largest shareholder in Hong Kong, Academician Wang Xuan, chairman of the board of directors of Fangzheng, could no longer tolerate it. He believed that his approach was completely wrong and demanded a reorganization of the board of directors, a change in business strategy, and a shift from technology to trade.

The situation is dire; it seems Founder is about to change in the direction of Lenovo.

At a critical moment, Peking University stepped forward and decisively adjusted the board of directors of Founder Group to "quell the internal turmoil," continue to focus on scientific research as the core strategy, resist the market's coercion on the company's strategy, and adhere to technology without giving up!

then……

Founder declined, from being the largest technology giant in China to gradually becoming ignored, and finally had to enter bankruptcy liquidation proceedings.

Fudan University's high-tech cooperation with local governments is currently facing the same dilemma.

What exactly is the positioning of this newly established company?
Is it responding to national strategies and continuously advancing technological research and development in accordance with policy requirements... or is it targeting the market and operating in a market-oriented manner?

The former requires continuous subsidies from local governments.

The latter can generate income, create more jobs, and contribute to local finances through tax revenue.

This naturally led to differences in approach.

The school supports the technology.

Local governments want market-oriented development; they don't want to establish a new "burdensome" company. Currently, many state-owned enterprises are going bankrupt, and many laid-off workers are awaiting resettlement. Local governments already have enough burdens and cannot afford to take on more.

Want to spend money on technology? Sure!

Can we wait a few years until we've recovered before discussing this further?

At this critical moment when there is a dispute between the two sides, it is necessary to ask Mr. Da to step in.

He is a technology expert and a business tycoon!

Winning at both ends!

It can be said that Zhou Haoran enjoys the trust of both the school and the local authorities.

The first point of contention to be resolved.

Who will be the major shareholder?

The school has the technology but no money; the local government has the money but no technology.

Who is more important?

Who is the largest shareholder can essentially indicate the operational direction of the joint venture. Furthermore, the local platforms participating in the joint venture can reveal the local government's attitude and inclination towards this cooperation.

The joint venture was undertaken by a commercial investment group, not a research institution under the Science and Technology Commission.

Zhou Haoran's opinion is of utmost importance!

He did not hesitate.

"I believe that a commercial investment group should be the largest shareholder!"

……

The final episode of "Everyone's Art Up" in November will determine the monthly champion.

Zhou Haoran didn't pay attention.

The feedback messages were a pleasant surprise.

The episode achieved a nationwide viewership rating of 35.8% in basic urban areas!

It set a new record! Not only that, it also surpassed "Happy Camp" in the same period, becoming the number one domestic program in the same time slot.

This is so exciting!

To celebrate this remarkable achievement, the production team held a grand dinner party, which everyone attended.

Zhou Haoran was also invited to participate.

There were 12 tables and a total of 105 people at the dinner.

Zhou Haoran was naturally at the main table, with Hu Xiaochen on his left and the new editor-in-chief Jia Qingwen on his right. He smiled and said, "You're doing a good job."

“I was doing everything according to Zhou Tai’s instructions.”

Jia Qingwen was also quite proud of herself, feeling that while personal ability was one aspect of her career achievements, luck played a much bigger role. She believed that if her good friend Dong Lan hadn't been promoted and she hadn't taken over, she wouldn't have achieved such honors.

Zhou Haoran asked, "Why did the ratings suddenly increase?"

Jia Qingwen blinked and said with a smile, "It was all arranged by Zhou Tai!"

"I?"

Zhou Haoran was confused; he hadn't made any arrangements.

Jia Qingwen said with a half-smile, "Jin Suo is a judge in this episode!"

"Oh!" Zhou Haoran couldn't help but chuckle. "She's that attractive?"

Jia Qingwen said, "Several actors from 'My Fair Princess' are also here, including Xiao Yanzi and Er Kang."

"I knew it!" Zhou Haoran exclaimed, realizing that they were riding the coattails of "My Fair Princess." "How about Jin Suo?"

"Very polite, very beautiful."

Jia Qingwen turned slightly, leaned closer, and whispered.

It's already winter.

It was cold and gloomy even though it wasn't snowing.

She was wearing a brown trench coat, which she hadn't taken off, but all the buttons were undone. Underneath, she wore a black, tight-fitting wool sweater, revealing a very prominent and firm cleavage that made one wonder if it was artificial.

Whether it's true or false, you'll know once you try.

Zhou Haoran couldn't help but take a few more glances and nodded, "Women, they all have their own charm, and you look alright."

Jia Qingwen blushed slightly and bit her lip gently, "Zhou Tai, I...I want to be with you..."

"Did you take Jin Suo for a medical check-up?"

Zhou Haoran waved his hand to interrupt her; this was what he was more concerned about.

"Yes, I went, this Monday." Jia Qingwen's brows exuded a captivating charm unique to mature women, and her watery eyes seemed to bewitch. "I was there at the time."

"How about it?"

Zhou Haoran's eyes were expectant.

Jia Qingwen smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou, what do you think?"

"Ok?"

Zhou Haoran glanced at her, his expression stern.

Jia Qingwen panicked and quickly put away her flirtatious thoughts, saying, "It's good news, the medical support is complete. I've asked her, she doesn't have a boyfriend... She lives with her mother now, I've even met her mother, she seems to be her agent, she's always with her."

Zhou Haoran didn't find it strange.

Jin Suo is only 17 years old.

He's a bit too young.

However, with her mother in the way, it's not easy to make a move!

At this moment, a colleague came over to offer a toast.

That ended the topic.

"Zhou Tai, let me also raise a toast to you!"

Dong Lan walked over with a smile.

Zhou Haoran picked up his cup and said with a smile, "Are you still being so polite?"

They were drinking red wine.

They usually just take a small sip.

Dong Lan downed her drink in one gulp, her face flushed with the alcohol, making her look quite alluring. She whispered, "Zhou Tai, they said they're going to sing karaoke later. A new, large karaoke bar just opened. Do you want to go?"

“I’m not going.” Zhou Haoran didn’t like going and suggested, “The leaders shouldn’t go, otherwise the staff won’t be able to have fun. The leaders can just pay for it and let them go.”

"Well..." Dong Lan's eyes darted around, then she glanced at Jia Qingwen beside her, her eyes sparkling, "How about we go to the dance hall later? Let's dance?"

"This one……"

Zhou Haoran would definitely not take Hu Xiaochen and Qiao Suiqing to such an unhealthy place.

"Zhou Tai, let's go! We're happy today, so let's stay together a bit longer! It's the weekend!"

Jia Qingwen, standing nearby, also began to seduce them.

Zhou Haoran's eyes unconsciously glanced at Jia Qingwen's chest, and he nodded, "Okay, let's go to the dance hall, listen to some music, dance, and relax."

Who are they?

Dong Lan had a half-smile on her face.

Zhou Haoran said, "The three of us are enough."
