Xiangjiang, Pang Yishan's law firm.

Drinking coffee, Zhou Liwen shook her head and smiled after listening to Pang Yishan's first-instance judgment that just ended yesterday.

"How long do you think the second trial will take?"

"This is hard to say. There is a difference between the mainland and Xiangjiang, two months, three months, or even four or five months. However, this case is more concerned and involves a wide range of issues. Maybe it will be handled specially."

Zhou Liwen nodded when he thought about it. What Pang Yishan said was reasonable, but no matter it was the end of the year, the next is New Year's Day and the Spring Festival holiday. It is estimated that this period of time will be over as soon as possible. In addition to the second-instance judgment procedure, the final result may be March. This time is shorter for Zhou Liwen, but it should be enough.

Just as he was about to speak, the phone that was put aside rang. Zhou Liwen picked up the phone and looked at the number, raised his hand to signal Pang Yishan, and then answered the phone and put the phone in his ear.

"Brother Zhou, I am Yao Liang!"

"Oh, Xiaoliang, is it about the property? I have given the documents to the legal department. They are under review these days, so it shouldn't take much time. Let's do this. I'll ask tomorrow. If it's done, I'll call you if it's done." Zhou Liwen said to the other end of the phone with a smile.

Yao Liang's words were not relaxed, but instead a little anxious and anxious: "Brother Zhou, I'm not calling this for the real estate project, but I'm looking for you for something else. Why did I hear that your Internet company is Alipay, which is in contact with other banks? I want to ask if this is true. Didn't you say that you promised to cooperate only with our bank? But now..."

"Is there such a thing?" Zhou Liwen said in surprise: "I said Xiaoliang, you won't have any errors in the news, right? How is this possible? Why don't I know this?"

"Brother Zhou, don't you know?"

"Nonsense! I know that's all that! Besides, there is an agreement between us, and tore up the agreement will require compensation. Do you think I will do such a thing?" Zhou Liwen said angrily.

Yao Liang paused on the phone, as if he was relieved: "It's not that Brother Zhou, you mean it, but Brother Zhou, this matter is very circulated outside now. Can you please ask me if there is any such thing? Don't be angry! I'm not believing you, or I'm worried that someone in your network company is good at making suggestions. I can't do anything about it. We, Xing Su, are confirming to me. If there is no exact explanation, I'm still in my heart..."

"Okay, okay, I think why is the big deal? OK! I understand this. I'm talking about it now. I'll ask if I'm free later. Please wait for my phone call." Zhou Liwen said these few words lightly and hung up the phone.

"Do you, Jay Chou...?"

When Zhou Liwen answered the phone, Pang Yishan was right next to him. He could hear the phone's answer clearly. Seeing Zhou Liwen hung up the phone, he asked tentatively.

"It's okay, let's continue to talk." Zhou Liwen smiled and waved his hand, as if nothing had happened before. After talking about MediaTek, Zhou Liwen asked about Sgopa in the United States again. Zhou Liwen asked Pang Yishan to do this a few months ago, and the time was almost done.

"Sgopa is not in good condition now. Although the financial problems of their chip factory have been alleviated after our orders started last year, the entire company has suffered another investment failure, resulting in the $1.7 investment investment being wasted."

"Haha, these people from Sgopa are not going to eat or not!" Zhou Liwen shook his head and smiled. In 1999, Sgopa had no choice but to sell its core subsidiary for US$1.47 billion due to a decision-making mistake. Originally, Zhou Liwen felt that with his own chip order, Sgopa could be financially alleviated, thus changing the end of being acquired in the original history. But who would have thought that Sgopa's people were really able to make trouble. They just took a breath and tossed away the money. It seemed that he would not be able to take action.

"I heard that Juji is talking about stock exchange with Scopa?"

"There is this statement, but it has been rejected by Sgopa. After all, in 1999, Harmonic swallowed Sgopa's subsidiary. If he succeeded this time, Sgopa would be completely finished. According to the news I received here, Diff had rejected Jiji's request and was raising funds everywhere to prepare to keep Sgopa."

Zhou Liwen shook his head. Diff's idea was good, but he was just the CEO after all. Chairman Sun, who really mastered Sgopa. Diff, as CEO, could not violate the decisions of the board of directors. What's more, when Zhou Liwen contacted Chairman Sun, he found that although this person was superb in technology, his methods in running a company were not very good. Otherwise, such a famous company would not have come to this day because of his several decisions that he made.

After thinking about it, Zhou Liwen quickly made up his mind to ask Pang Yishan to prepare and strive to go to the United States together on New Year's Day.

"Does Jay Chou want to acquire Sgopa, right?" Pang Yishan was shocked by Zhou Liwen's idea. Although he knew that Zhou Liwen had made a lot of profits in the mobile phone market over the past year, it was impossible to acquire Sgopa with Zhou Liwen's current strength.

In terms of assets, although Sgopa is Youlong trapped in the shallows, it is still an important IT company in Silicon Valley. According to the previous case of Harmonic's acquisition of Sgopa's core subsidiary, it is impossible to swallow Sgopa without nearly one billion US dollars. Zhou Liwen currently has less than $200 million in money that can be used for Man Daman. How can Zhou Liwen solve such a huge funding gap?

"Talk first, let alone don't forget that we have cooperation with Cisco. A few days ago, I received an email from Cisco saying that the mobile phone system has been initially improved, so I have to go over and take a look."

Zhou Liwen explained this, and Pang Yishan's heart finally returned to his stomach, but he still looked at Zhou Liwen with lingering fear. Pang Yishan felt a little confused about this boss and friend since he met him, because Zhou Liwen was completely different from most entrepreneurs. He could always figure out some imaginative ideas and used some surprising tricks beyond others' expectations.

Pang Yishan was not sure whether Zhou Liwen's words were his true thoughts. However, when he recalled Zhou Liwen's actions before, this young boss was not a reckless person. Even if he was staring at Sgopa now, he should have his overall plan.

I stayed here in Pang Yishan until the afternoon. In the evening, the two went to the peninsula to taste the best steak in Xiangjiang. After leaving the peninsula, Zhou Liwen went to Lan Kwai Fong with great enthusiasm until she returned home in the middle of the night.

The next day, he slept comfortably and didn't wake up until noon. After taking a shower and changing clothes, he had a meal at morning and lunch, and walked out of the villa halfway up the mountain with great energy, standing on a high ground and looking at the charming sea view in front of him.

"Sir, your phone keeps ringing." Zhou Liwen walked around the neighborhood and waited for the villa. The Filipino maid invited reminded Zhou Liwen.

Zhou Liwen smiled and said thank you, then walked back to the room, picked up the phone and looked at it.

After only 2 hours of leaving, there were five or six missed calls on the phone, all from Shanghai. Zhou Liwen looked at the number and smiled coldly. He leisurely lit a cigarette first, then took a red wine from the wine cabinet and woke up. Then he savored the red wine and sat on the open-air balcony and continued to watch the scenery.

The phone rang twice in a row, but Zhou Liwen still didn't answer. After he finished a glass of red wine, Zhou Liwen leisurely picked up the phone and dialed it back.

"Hey! Who?"

"My Brother Zhou, I'm looking for you." Yao Liang was almost crying on the other end of the phone. After the call yesterday, he waited for a whole afternoon but didn't receive a reply from Zhou Liwen. He waited for a few hours this morning. When it was almost noon, he couldn't wait anymore, so he called Zhou Liwen to ask about the results. But who would have thought that no matter how they called, Zhou Liwen wouldn't answer the phone. This was so anxious that he was like an ant on the hot pan. Just now, President Su called him to ask about the situation.

When he learned that he had not contacted Zhou Liwen, President Su, who had always been kind, hit him a few words in a very heavy tone for the first time, which made Yao Liang feel as unfair as if he was beaten. Yao Liang is not a fool. He knew that Zhou Liwen was 99% likely to use this method to warn them about Shanghai Bank. The reason was the temptation that President Su made before. What is this? Yao Liang is also a worker, and he can't afford to offend both sides. It's even more unfair than Dou E in the middle!

"Oh, it's Xiaoliang." Zhou Liwen laughed on the phone: "Sorry, there was a meeting ahead, and the phone was not around. Is there anything to ask me for?"

Yao Liang was almost choked to death by this sentence. Zhou Liwen forgot about yesterday's incident and quickly asked with a reminder about what happened to Alipay company and other banks discussing cooperation.

Zhou Liwen seemed to have just remembered Yao Liang's words and smiled: "Oh, I've already learned about the situation."

"What exactly did you say?" Yao Liang asked hurriedly.

"It's nothing. According to the report below, several banks have taken the initiative to propose cooperation with us. However, you also know that we have a cooperation agreement with your bank at present, but the other banks say that taking other cooperation methods will not affect the agreement between us. You also know that companies and banks cannot compare, especially one of them has a state-owned bank. We cannot afford to offend them. We still have to give necessary attitudes and face, so it's just contact and talk. But don't worry, the cooperation with Shanghai Bank was determined from the beginning and will never affect the relationship between us..."
