Technology company, I will become the light of China!

"Have you heard? The head office is going to hold another annual party. I wonder if they will invite King Zhou to perform this year."

"If King Zhou continues to come, it will be equivalent to earning more than 1000 yuan. His concert tickets cost more than 1000 yuan."

"Last time it was Zhou Tianwang and Deng Ziqi. I really don't know who will be invited this year. However, considering Mr. Chen's generosity, the singers who can come to sing should be extraordinary."

"Of course. Our Longxing Group is one of the largest companies. How could we let little Karami come to such an important event as the annual meeting? I just don't know who will warm up the audience."

With the announcement of the Longxing Annual Meeting to be held on February 2, tens of thousands of workers in Longxing Group’s factories are looking forward to this grand event.

Last year, King Zhou and Deng Ziqi attracted at least 3000 workers to join the company, and they were all looking forward to this day.

Anyone who has worked in a factory knows that most of the workers in an electronics factory are young people, because they are young, energetic, and can quickly adapt to the intensity of overtime work.

So what do young people like? Or what do they hate?
Let’s not talk about what I like for now, but if you ask me what I hate, it’s basically all about the leaders’ speeches and the so-called empty promises.

At many company annual meetings, either this leader gives a speech or that leader gives a speech, which is similar to any other normal meeting. Who would want to attend this type of annual meeting?

As a young entrepreneur, Chen Xing knows very well what contemporary young people need and what type of annual meeting they want to see, so he also invited singers to perform at this annual meeting.

For singers, participating in a high-profile annual event like the Longxing Annual Party is almost entirely beneficial.

1. It can increase exposure.

2. You can please capital.

3. The appearance fee is really not low.

With so many benefits, almost no singer who was invited refused. Even if they had schedules, they would immediately turn it down. After all, they couldn't afford to offend a behemoth like the Longxing Group, nor could they afford to offend the so-called "capital" in the entertainment industry.

As February 2 approaches, corresponding hot search terms have appeared on Weibo's hot search list.

The two hot search terms "Chen Yixun officially announced his participation in the Longxing Annual Meeting" and "Zhang Shaohan officially announced his participation in the Longxing Annual Meeting" led the way, shocking countless netizens.

[Big Watermelon]: "Last time it was Zhou Tianwang and Deng Ziqi, this time it's Chen Yixun and Zhang Shaohan, will Longxing invite singers from all over the entertainment industry like this?"

[风驰电掣]: "I want the induction course of Longxing Group. If I join now, can I still make it to Longxing Annual Meeting?"

[雨落倾城]: "Let's not talk about Chen Yixun, she is definitely a superstar singer. Although Zhang Shaohan has gradually become outdated, as long as she sings "Invisible Wings", I am willing to call her the No. 1 female singer!"

With the promotion of the singers, the popularity of the Longxing Annual Meeting continued to rise. Many singers who were not selected for the Longxing Annual Meeting sighed secretly and could only post messages to wish Chen Yixun and Zhang Shaohan well.

And at the same time.

the other side.

Shencheng Longgang.

Paogouling.

After several months of renovation, Paogouling has been completely transformed, with buildings now built on the hill that had been razed to the ground.

At this time, on the village road of Liujia Village, Lei Bing, director of the Shenzhen Land Bureau, was walking on the asphalt road with Chen Xing. Behind them followed a group of directors of all sizes, all of whom wanted to establish friendship with Chen Xing.

"Now the roads in our area are all paved with petroleum asphalt, which not only reduces noise but also prolongs the service life of the roads."

"By the way, Mr. Chen."

Just after he finished speaking, he continued: "We have roughly measured the area of ​​Paogouling development and it is already 2400 acres. We also plan to change the name of this area to better fit the actual application needs of the land."

"Does Director Lei have any good suggestions?"

Chen Xing asked.

He also knew very well that Shenzhen was once an inconspicuous fishing village, and the place names were placed rather randomly.

As the name suggests, Paogouling was probably formed by throwing too many dogs in the past.

This is not only true in Shenzhen, but also in Cantonese. For example, the name "Zhongluotan" which is still used today may not sound like anything special in Mandarin, but if you read it in Cantonese, you will find that the name is a bit funny.

Because "Zhongluotan" means "falling into water" in Cantonese, and an area is called "Falling into Water", it is very likely that it was a fish pond or a pond in the past.

"This place is surrounded by mountains and water, and has a beautiful environment. Why not call it the Longxing Group Landscape Base?" Lei Bing made a suggestion.

"Okay, Director Lei is very talented."

"As expected of Director Lei, you are so eloquent."

"The mountain and water base is great, Mr. Chen. There are mountains and water. The mountains represent having a backer and being solid, and the water represents money. It fits the Longxing Group very well."

"That's right, Mr. Chen. Please consider it."

The accompanying directors echoed one after another, looking at Chen Xing from time to time.

"Shanshui Base, that's not bad. Let's follow Director Lei's advice. However, the specific application process for changing the place name and the materials to be prepared may require Director Lei's guidance."

Chen Xing expressed his position again.

It’s not a good idea to keep calling it Paogouling, it does sound a bit tacky.

"It's okay. We can prepare the application materials. Mr. Chen just needs to provide the land development certificate of Paogouling."

"Then I'll send it to you later."

"Ah."

After walking for a while, the group arrived at the gymnasium of the landscape base.

Lei Bing glanced at the stadium in the shape of the Bird's Nest and continued, "Mr. Chen, this is a one-to-one replica of the Bird's Nest. It covers a total area of ​​nearly 300 acres and can meet the daily exercise needs of tens of thousands of people."

"good."

Chen Xing nodded slightly.

Paogou, oh no, the Shanshui base, he plans to build it as the headquarters base of Longxing Group.

As for the Sakata base, he planned to leave it for scientific researchers to live in.

"Besides this bird's nest, what other special buildings do we have here?"

Chen Xing asked.

Upon hearing this, Lei Bing quickly replied: "According to the drawings provided by the design institute, our Shanshui base not only has a large gymnasium, but also has hospitals, schools and other security facilities that can meet most of the needs of workers or employees."

"can."

Chen Xing nodded again.

When he first acquired the land, the total area was 10900 acres. Now only 2400 acres have been developed, and there are still more than 8000 acres that have not been developed. He is not worried at all about not having enough land.

After walking around and inspecting the area, Chen Xing also realized the benefits of building an ecological base.

Let’s put it this way, if you can live in a landscape base, you can eat, exercise, see a doctor, entertain, and educate your children here, which is equivalent to a small city.

It's approaching evening.

Chen Xing looked at the directors who had been with him for half a day and invited them, "It's getting late, why don't we go have a meal?"

"call--"

The directors breathed a sigh of relief.

This is what they were waiting for.

"Then I'll book a box?"

"No need to trouble Director Ma. My cousin and his wife own a villa in Longgang. They raise their own chickens, ducks and fish. The meat is guaranteed to be delicious."

"It's so late, going to the farm? I don't know if Mr. Chen has time."

"Mr. Chen is a very busy man. In my opinion, we should go to Longgang Star Hotel. We can't delay him, right?"

The directors each had their own ideas, and Chen Xing looked at Lei Bing and asked him to make the decision.

Lei Bing could naturally understand Chen Xing's expression, so he decided, "It's not easy to get together with Mr. Chen, so let's go to Director Zhang's cousin's farm."

As soon as he finished speaking, he deliberately reminded: "The food and drinks must be of the highest standard. After all, we are entertaining such a distinguished guest as Mr. Chen. If we follow our standards, it will be too shabby."

If it is according to their standards, just four dishes and one soup will be enough.

But now that Chen Xing is here, as the boss of the Trillion Group, they all hope that Chen Xing will invest more in the construction of Shenzhen City, not to mention exceeding the budget, even paying out of his own pocket.

Only with good political achievements can people move up.

If you want to achieve good political achievements, it is necessary to establish good relationships with the CEOs of top companies. To a certain extent, they have the power to decide the promotion path of the current Shenzhen leadership team.

"Just follow the normal procedure."

Chen Xing was polite, and although the other directors nodded verbally, they did not take it seriously.

Not a moment.

Everyone moved to the farm in the mountains.

As everyone was toasting and enjoying themselves, Lei Bing finally said what he had been holding back for a day:

"Mr. Chen, because of the matter of converting Paogouling into a landscape base, I should go to the provincial government in the early spring of next year. This is my successor, Wang Qingyun. Please take care of him in the future."

"Hello, Mr. Chen. I'll toast you." As soon as Lei Bing finished speaking, Wang Qingyun stood up on his own initiative, raised his glass and looked at Chen Xing.

"Congratulations on your promotion."

Chen Xing first answered Lei Bing, then looked at Wang Qingyun and nodded to indicate that he understood.

After the dinner, Chen Xing not only received more than ten business cards, but also donated nearly 1.1 million yuan to the Shenzhen municipal government.

He didn't feel sorry either.

Only by building good relationships can the road ahead be smooth.

Take the construction of the landscape base for example. Chen Xing encountered almost no resistance. Even if the situation was complicated and required approval from higher authorities, it was basically done in two or three days.

……

While Chen Xing was attending the dinner, a number of 3.6-meter trucks kept entering and exiting the Longxing Group's landscape base.

If you look closely, you can see police officers with task lights flashing, on duty. It's obvious that they are protecting something.

The transportation lasted for several hours. When the last 5-meter truck was unloaded, Zhang Heting looked at the mountain of banknotes in the center of the replica Bird's Nest and couldn't help but stroke it and said, " million in cash, who else can afford such a large sum of money except our Longxing Group?"

To be honest, he has 1400 million in savings, but it's all in bank cards, just a string of cold numbers, and there's no feeling at all.

But now with the money in front of him, he finally understood why Chen Xing insisted on getting cash. It was really shocking. It was a real mountain of cash.

"Mr. Zhang, this is the signature form. Please sign it if you are sure it is correct." The escort took out the document and asked Zhang Heting to sign it.

As he walked in, he took one look at the mountain of banknotes in front of him and couldn't help swallowing.

Any bundle of this would cost 10 yuan, which would be hard for any normal person to control.

"Row."

Zhang Heting took it and quickly signed to confirm.

After the handover was completed, he immediately sent a WeChat message to inform Chen Xing that the 5 million cash had been transported to the replica of the Bird's Nest Stadium. At the same time, the escorting police car left, but two armed police armored vehicles arrived, and the special police in combat uniforms loaded their guns and were responsible for full vigilance.

The next day, around noon.

Due to the large number of workers, there are more than 7000 workers in the mobile phone production factory alone and related parts.

Adding the workers in the automobile factories, there are definitely tens of thousands of people.

Because of the large number of people, the workers were transported to the replica of the Bird's Nest Stadium by buses after lunch.

When they saw the mountains of banknotes, they were completely stunned.

"Fuck! What is that?"

"Oh my god, there are mountains of money. This must be tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, right?"

"I think it's more than that. Look at the bottom. One bundle is worth 100,000. This is at least thousands. I estimate it's worth more than 1 billion!"

"I have to take a picture. This is the first time I've seen so much money. Thanks to Mr. Chen for letting me see the world. This is terrifying!"

“This is the foundation of the group!”

When the workers circulated the photos, everyone who saw them was shocked. They had never seen such a grand project before.

If we calculate based on 10 yuan per bundle, 5 million yuan would be 5000 bundles, which is equivalent to 5000 stacked red bricks. As you can imagine, the visual impact is too great, which refreshed the workers' perception of money.

As more and more workers took their seats, it was already evening, and the afterglow of the sunset shone on every worker's face.

Longxing Group’s official accounts have started live streaming on multiple platforms that have live streaming functions, including Weibo, Huya, Bilibili, and Douyin.

Just taking the live broadcast room on Weibo as an example, the number of online viewers reached over 100 million, which shows how popular this annual meeting was.

But this is normal, because 2015 is a turning point for Longxing Group and also the year of entering the international market. Countless eyes are waiting for what Chen Xing has to say.

From the entrepreneurial circle to the celebrity fan circle, there are also a large number of netizens who come to watch the show, so it would be strange if there were not a large number of people.

In the Weibo live broadcast room, millions of viewers saw the piled up mountain of banknotes and expressed their admiration in the comments, which filled the entire screen.

"Oh my god, there are piles of money. Could it be that Mr. Chen is going to give out the money directly?"

"This is other people's companies. I'm in a crappy company now. The annual meeting is just to listen to the leader's speech and then participate in the lottery. There's nothing at all. It makes me angry just talking about it!"

"I envy the real-name system. I really want to join Longxing Group."

"Can I join Longxing Group with a junior college degree? Waiting online, very urgent."

While comments were flying across the live broadcast rooms, the stadium's logistics team was already extremely busy, constantly communicating details of the appearance.

According to the plan, the warm-up singer is Zhang Shaohan. She needs to sing "Invisible Wings" to liven up the atmosphere and then cut into Chen Xing's speech session.

It was impossible for Zhang Shaohan to say that she was not nervous at this time. As an "outdated queen", her studio had finally secured her an opportunity to sing at the Trillion Group's annual meeting. If she messed up, it would not be as simple as offending the capital.

Compared with the Longxing Group, the "capital" in the entertainment industry is like the stars competing with the moon, overestimating their own capabilities.

"Are you ready, Shaohan? You will be on stage soon." Zhang Shaohan's assistant asked kindly.

"call--"

Zhang Shaohan let out a long breath, trying to calm himself down and said, "Right away, I'll adjust it, let me take it slow."

"As soon as possible."

The assistant didn't push.

As a "little celebrity" in the entertainment industry, not only was Zhang Shaohan herself surprised to get this opportunity; the entire entertainment industry was shocked. Even those singers who usually looked down on her showed concern for her and wanted to build a relationship with her.

Those who are familiar with the entertainment industry know that they are notoriously hierarchical.

Once, just because a male star sat on the wrong stool, he lost a lot of film and television resources and fell from the first line to the third line.

The entertainment industry is characterized by flattery and strict hierarchy.

After taking several deep breaths, Zhang Shaohan calmed down and followed the staff to the negative 1 floor, where there was a special elevator that allowed her to go directly to the center of the stage.

"The singers are in place, and all departments are ready. There are only five minutes left. Check the equipment carefully to see if there are any problems. If there are any mistakes, the entire department will be held responsible."

The person in charge of the annual meeting lowered his tone and made the atmosphere serious.

Soon after the words fell, various departments of the stadium responded.

"The lights are all working fine."

"There is nothing abnormal with the live broadcast signal."

"There is no abnormality in the on-site network."

"There is no abnormality in the sound."

After hearing that there was nothing unusual, the general manager immediately asked the backstage director to take command of the overall situation and he was responsible for supervision.

The director did not hesitate for a moment. When the time approached 5:30 p.m., he counted down: "It's the last minute. 59, 58, 57. The band and singers are ready. Count down in your mind."

"50, 49, 48..."

Zhang Shaohan muttered to himself.

As the time reached "0", the band, which had been ready for a long time, played the prelude, making the audience excited.

"Invisible Wings" is a divine song that has become popular all over the country and has brought fame to Jay Chou and JJ Lin. It can be said to be the youth memory of countless people.

As the prelude sounds, youth returns.

Amid the screams and cheers of the audience, Zhang Shaohan took the elevator directly from the underground floor to the center of the stage.

Her soul-cleansing singing filled the entire stadium.

(Every time)
(We are all strong in wandering loneliness)

(Every time)
(Even if I'm hurt, I won't cry)
Zhang Shaohan's ethereal and clean voice soothes everyone's inner impatience like an angel, pulling the audience into her world of songs.

Tens of thousands of workers on site and millions of viewers in the live broadcast room were all listening to the song carefully and were shocked by this "outdated singer".

Chen Xing, who was backstage, was also stunned. It was really unfair to use "Invisible Wings" as the warm-up song, because this was the class song for countless people when they were in school. When the prelude sounded, the smell of youth came to the face.

(I finally see that all my dreams have blossomed)
(The young voices of pursuit are so loud)
(I finally soared, looking with my heart and not afraid)
(Fly as far as the wind will blow.)
When it came to the climax, tens of thousands of workers sang along. The singing evoked memories for all of them and made the opening ceremony of the annual meeting completely "come alive".

……

While all employees of Longxing Group were happily celebrating the New Year's Party, in a court far away in Shenzhen, lawyers from Tesla and Longxing Group were engaged in a heated argument.

"According to our analysis of the overall value of the Linghang 001, the tires alone are worth 3.9 yuan, but the actual selling price of the Linghang 001 is only 20.9 yuan. This is undoubtedly using low prices to disrupt the market, squeeze out competitors, and attempt to monopolize the market."

As soon as Tesla's lawyer finished speaking, Longxing Group's lawyer immediately refuted.

"monopoly?"

“What is a monopoly?”

"The legal meaning of monopoly is having an absolute dominant position in the market. Our Linghang 001 currently accounts for less than 1% of the market. Please don't accuse me of monopoly. Thank you."

"What do you mean by random discounts?" Tesla's lawyer glared at him and retorted, "Your Honor, please look at the evidence we have collected. Due to the high configuration and low price of the Pilot 001, other car dealers can only sell a few cars a day now."

"Take the BMW 4S store in Shenzhen as an example. Before the launch of the Linghang 001, the daily sales were stable at around 22 units. But since the launch of the Linghang 001, the daily sales have dropped to 4 units, and sometimes even 0 units. This is an act of disrupting the market!"

"be opposed to."

Hearing this, the representative lawyer of Longxing Group spoke again.

"They say we are disrupting the market. If I remember correctly, dumping is not illegal. Only malicious competition has corresponding laws."

"As long as our Linghang 001 car can make a profit, there will be no malicious competition because we have the pricing power."

“You can’t make a profit…”

Tesla's lawyer was about to retort when suddenly a gavel was struck in the courtroom, signaling both parties to calm down and be quiet.

"quiet."

The presiding judge looked at the two of them and expressed his opinion: "The defendant is right. As long as Linghang 001 can make a profit, there is no so-called malicious competition. Excuse me, defendants, do you want to provide evidence?"

"want."

Ke Zheming answered without hesitation.

Such a decisive answer stunned Tesla's representative lawyer.

Under his gaze, several documents were submitted to the courtroom. After careful review, the presiding judge combined the opinions of the jury and finally made a judgment.

"After investigation, it was found that the manufacturing cost of the Linghang 001 was 17.8 yuan, including 1.1 yuan for tires, 2.3 yuan for lithium batteries, 9000 yuan for the motor, and 1.4 yuan for the high-voltage platform of the whole vehicle..."

When the full car price was stated, Tesla's lawyers were speechless.

After reading the car manufacturing price, the presiding judge read out the verdict and said: "In this case, we have heard the statements of both parties, witnessed the presentation of evidence, and fully considered their respective claims and reasons. Now we make a judgment."

"Based on the existing chain of evidence and legal provisions, this court believes that the plaintiff's claims fail to meet the standards required by law and therefore cannot be supported by this court."

The plaintiff lost the case unsurprisingly, and neither lawyer on either side was surprised.

The reason why Tesla filed the lawsuit was to get the cost price of Pilot 001 and spend money to find out the details.

As the losing lawyer accepted the result and left the court, he immediately called Masike who was far away in Shanghai.

"Dududu-"

After the busy tone, the call was connected.

"President Masick, the other party has already revealed the manufacturing cost of the Pilot 001. It is indeed profitable. We lost the case."

"how many?"

Masike asked quickly.

"17.8 yuan."

The lawyer answered truthfully.

Masike's eyes widened immediately, and he asked again, "How much did you say?"

"17.8 yuan."

"17.8 yuan?"

"Yes, 17.8 yuan."

After getting this result, Masick's brain completely crashed. Now it means that the Linghang 001 is sold for 20.9 yuan, and he can still make 3 yuan for each car. How can he fight a price war?

An unknown amount of time had passed before Masike came to his senses. He looked out the window, staring at the picturesque sunset clouds in the distance and muttered, "This is the worst news I've ever heard, bar none."
