On the last day of November, it was cloudy and rainy in Shanghai.

The north wind blows by, occasionally sweeping away the few leaves on the branches.

Late autumn has passed and early winter has arrived.

The temperature difference between day and night is also increasing.

In the middle of the afternoon, the lights were already on in the office on the 12th floor of the Fonda Building.

Fang Nian sat on the swivel chair, still looking slightly lazy.

Fang Nian has read this draft over and over again three times, which was specially transferred to him at Miao Wei's instruction.

The wording is really sharp and doesn't spare any human feelings.

Judging from the writing style, I don’t care about being known by the frontier.

Fang Nian threw aside the document he had read three times and looked at Guan Qiuhe, who was sitting on a swivel chair with his legs crossed in a lazy posture, and then at Wu Fucheng, who looked solemn.

He said quietly: "It seems there is even worse news."

Then he added: "In less than a month, you won't even be able to withstand this posture?"

There was no meaning in the words.

An ordinary look.

Wu Fucheng glanced at Guan Qiuhe, looked at Fang Nian, sorted it out for a while, and started reporting.

"Currently, there are only 35 ecological groups left from the peak of 71 in the period. Most of the remaining ones have suspended their R&D plans internally and their attitudes are very ambiguous."

"..."

"Currently, there are only a few projects in research and development status, such as server operating systems that are not cutting-edge."

"..."

"The coordination work has been seriously hindered and has almost come to a standstill."

"..."

After briefly describing the current situation, Wu Fucheng paused for a moment and said solemnly: "But..."

"Now someone suddenly suggested that Nuwa Lab would not open DeskOS commercial licensing. They must have other plans."

After listening to Wu Fucheng's words, Fang Nian's expression did not change much.

External cooperation projects have almost come to a standstill, and a few more bad news will end it.

After a while, Fang Nian said: "I haven't shown up all this time. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Fucheng was stunned for a moment.

The conversation changed too quickly.

Facing Fang Nian's gaze, Wu Fucheng shrugged and said, "I have no idea."

"Don't look at me, I don't have any idea." Guan Qiuhe also said.

"..."

The last time Fang Nian appeared in a business setting was at the second plenary meeting of the Influence Club.

In other words, Fang Nian never showed up again after noon on the 13th.

This lack of presence also includes...

Cut off external business contacts.

All matters related to official business were transferred to the chairman's office of Qianlian Company, and more importantly, to Wen Ye and Gu Yu.

Even Fang Nian didn't even want to answer calls from his leaders - although there weren't many calls during this period.

It gave the outside world a feeling that Fang Nian was very tough and didn't take these 'trivial' matters to heart.

Because on the other side, there is an endless stream of big news from Frontier Angels around the world.

First of all, public information shows that Frontier Angel Global is managing funds exceeding US$10 billion.

Then, Frontier Angel Global officially announced the establishment of a hedge fund business department on Twitter.

In just half a month, I made several large orders in the U.S. stock market, mainly short selling, which was very popular.

Last Frontier Angel Global has not forgotten Mr. Donte at all.

Targeting Tangte's company's business scope in all aspects, in just half a month, a company under Tangte's name declared bankruptcy.

The most cruel thing is that some banks that had previously cooperated happily with Donte have terminated their cooperation.

Tang Te was so anxious that he jumped every day and wished he could send a hundred tweets a minute.

In this process, the "unwavering" support of the key overseas branches made Tang Te feel warmer in this cold world.

Anyway...

In the past November, Frontier Angel Global has officially established its foundation on Wall Street with its strong and domineering image.

The net profit in a single month was nearly 500 million U.S. dollars, allowing the financial giants on Wall Street to see Mr. Fang's invincibility in managing capital.

You must know that Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway’s net profit in the third quarter of this year was less than US$2.3 billion.

Compared with Berkshire's, Frontier Angel Global's business scope is nothing to mention.

This comparison makes many giants feel like the Wolf of Wall Street is coming.

The impact brought by Frontier Angel Global is obviously not limited to Wall Street. It has been discussed by netizens in China, but it has not aroused much heated discussion.

then……

Even close partners like Neil Shen and Lei Jun thought that Fang Nian went to the United States in person to take charge of Frontier Angel Global.

After all, even if there are risks again, some big company CEOs will still go abroad if they should... ①

At the same time, domestic undercurrents targeting the frontiers were raging like wild waves.

A large part of the undercurrent is due to Fang Nian's nonchalant attitude shown by not showing up.

Fang Nian didn't just show up in person to handle matters.

All matters were delegated to those in the front office.

No direct decisions were made throughout November.

As a result, the normal R&D plan of the application ecosystem suffered a severe impact and was almost completely shut down...

The Zero Degree brand was attacked by a small range of public opinion, and the Zero Degree gaming notebook ‘X-A1’ was deliberately discredited...

The popularity of the China Open Source Zone website has declined...

The Frontier Office and the Frontier Department’s public relations team struggled to cope with all kinds of criticisms, both explicit and implicit.

This is the most difficult time that Frontier has experienced since its establishment.

That's why Fang Nian asked.

Looking around, Fang Nian said calmly: "Have you all read the draft that Miao Wei sent over?"

As he said that, Fang Nian leaned back on his chair and became obviously more lazy: "Based on the problems you encountered in coordinating work, is there anything you want to say?"

"Is the Miao Department putting pressure on you, hoping that you will deal with these matters as soon as possible?" Wu Fucheng considered it.

Hearing this, Fang Nian waved his hand: "I don't want to hear this."

Seeing this, Wu Fucheng coughed twice and said seriously: "I mean, this is a matter of interests.

Since the launch of DeskOS and the exposure of the White Dragon processor, Frontier has enjoyed unprecedented resource tilt;

The ecological group pushed this resource tilt to its peak;

Afterwards, Miaobu also took the lead in placing an order for 500,000 computers for the Zero Degree brand. This totaled an order of at least one billion, which is quite considerable;

Then Frontier suddenly had a direct confrontation with foreign giant technology companies. At this time, the CCMC list came out, and then AMD and NVIDIA cooperated;

In this series of events, Frontier is almost always the winner and has gained the greatest benefits."

Having said this, Wu Fucheng's thoughts became smoother and he talked eloquently: "For well-known reasons, companies such as Microsoft and Intel have opened up the scope of cooperation;

This makes the research and development work of the ecological team less important. After all, no one wants to be just a spare tire, which creates conflicts;

In addition, Nuwa Lab seems to have no intention of licensing DeskOS, but instead intends to imitate Apple's macOS system as an exclusive closed source. This will cause some companies to face a very serious business shrinkage, and the contradiction will be greatly escalated..."

Finally, Wu Fucheng made a brief summary: "Combining the draft transferred by the Miao Ministry and the sudden news, it is not difficult to see that the existence of the Frontier has actually seriously affected their interests."

"It's just that I didn't have a suitable excuse before, but now I've encountered one. It's only now that I understand why, Mr. Fang, you know that there will be a considerable impact, but you don't advance but retreat, turning from light to darkness."

After Wu Fucheng finished speaking, Guan Qiuhe thought for a moment and took over: "As far as I know, there is a large group behind this."

Then he emphasized: "It's definitely not just about the ecological group. The emergence of Nuwa and Bai Ze has already affected the great interests of many people."

After Guan Qiuhe finished speaking, the office fell into silence.

Except for the three of them, that is Liu Xizai, she was very busy and never interrupted much.

Fang Nian went through it in his mind before calmly speaking: "So Big Brother is Big Brother."
