Reborn since 1993

Chapter 1228 Carp leaps over the dragon gate

Top and Boss Song immediately adopted a posture of apologizing, sliding down to their knees so quickly that Lin Xianhui couldn't find a reason to intervene.

If Top is not satisfied and wants to continue the fight, Lin Xianhui would not mind continuing to beat him up.

Being located in a port city, there are many more methods available compared to the mainland. Top's methods in Chengdu, while not entirely ineffective against Cyberport, are basically like a tickle.

This war was destined to be unequal from the very beginning. Top was a mess with too many loopholes, and was basically in a passive and defensive position.

But Boss Song readily admitted defeat and lay down, showing that he would let Lin Xianhui deal with him as long as Top was spared. In addition, Li Dongling's instruction to stop short of defeat made it difficult for Lin Xianhui to continue attacking.

"This Mr. Song is quite sensible!"

Li Dongling couldn't help but comment on Boss Song's statement, saying that the person who had managed to inflate Top's business to such a great size and then so readily admitted defeat was definitely a man who could bend and stretch.

Top apologized profusely, and the philanthropist Li was unwilling to continue the attack. This was meant to be a warning to Top and Boss Song, to show them that not everything can be taken advantage of.

He was harvesting leeks, and the philanthropist Li was unwilling to get involved, not wanting to get himself into trouble. But if he crossed the line, he would have to pay the price!

This is not only a warning to Top, but also a warning to other shady companies that want to list on the Silicon Harbour concept, telling them that trying to drag Cyberport down with them is a dead end!
After hanging up the phone, Li Dongling picked up Xiao Zhiyuan, who had already learned to crawl. Today, Li Dongling was able to rest after returning to Pingyang, but he still had to deal with the accumulated affairs in Pingyang.

After holding a press conference with Top, Mr. Song announced a large-scale recruitment drive and sponsorship of the Shenhua team, which finally stabilized the stock price.

After China.com exposed Top's weakness, it went silent. Mr. Song knew he had conceded defeat, and Cyberport had seen it, so they didn't release any more bombshells about Top.

At this moment, Mr. Song couldn't help but feel a sense of relief that he had escaped a disaster. He knew that this matter was just as he had guessed, and that he had violated the taboo of Cyberport or some great philanthropist.

This time, he was quickly brought down, and the other party didn't seem to have any intention of killing him. Boss Song couldn't imagine what would have happened if Dongling High-Tech really wanted to take down Top; he didn't know if he would be in jail or abroad by now...

But this incident also served as a wake-up call for Mr. Song. He felt it was time to prepare for the end of the matter. This game of musical chairs at Top Group couldn't continue indefinitely, and he needed to consider his future.
The key point is that the people who supported Mr. Song also contributed a lot to Top's success in getting through this, which made the traditional media keep a wait-and-see attitude towards the matter. They did not want Mr. Song to drag them into the quagmire.

After this incident, it's likely that these supporters will gradually distance themselves from Top. If Top gets hammered again next time, it won't be so easy for him to get away with it.

Top got away with it this time, but the seeds of doubt have been sown. Unless Mr. Song can be so powerful as to turn the fake into the real and build all 27 software industrial parks, this bomb will explode sooner or later!

And if Top Group really does collapse next time, then China.com, which first reported on Top, will be mentioned again. At that time, China.com will probably be seen by the world as a conscientious media that dares to speak the truth...

Although Top escaped unscathed, Cyberport's use of China.com to attack Top had an immediate and effective result.

Following Top's announcement of its withdrawal from listing in Cyberport, a number of other companies quietly withdrew their applications for financing and listing from Cyberport.

These companies have clearly seen what happened to Top and don't want to become the next target.

After Top was made an example of, those other companies that want to piggyback on the Silicon Harbor project will probably have to think twice. If they dare to try to trick Cyberport, they might end up getting themselves into trouble!

The Top incident was just an interlude in the Silicon Harbor project, a warning to those shady companies.

But after Li Dongling returned to the mainland, the Silicon Harbor project did not subside in Zhongguancun; on the contrary, it intensified.

Like China.com, Tianya Sports, Kingsoft, Jiangmin Technology, and 3721, many people in Zhongguancun aspire to become billionaires by listing on the port through Cyberport.

Countless companies from the mainland internet and software industries are still flocking to the Silicon Harbor project.

……

However, what no one paid attention to was that this time, those who accompanied the philanthropist Li back to the mainland were not only the previous inland science and technology delegation, but also another group of people!
After Kunlun Mining Company came to the inland, General Manager Li Minghan quickly became a guest of honor of investment promotion bureaus in many places!

According to Li Minghan, Kunlun Minerals plans to invest $300 million in the mainland to establish a mineral storage base for Kunlun Company and to support mineral processing companies.

This news naturally attracted investment promotion bureaus from various regions to come knocking on their door. It was a deal worth three hundred million US dollars, and no investment promotion bureau wanted to miss out on such a big deal.

Due to the prevailing trend in recent years, there have been far too many scammers, and many departments and organizations have become wary of being cheated. This has led many people to be suspicious of the suddenly emerging, previously unknown Kunlun Minerals.

However, when it was later revealed that Kunlun Minerals was a joint investment by Cyberport, Kunpeng Power, Tse Sui Luen Jewellery, and Ya'an Security Company, in short, it was a company under the Dongke Group, belonging to Li Dashan, all these doubts disappeared without a trace!
Once it was discovered that Kunlun Minerals, although a port city company, was a legitimate "Dongke" group company, various regions across the country began vying to have Kunlun Minerals establish operations there. Kunlun Minerals' professional team traveled to different regions to conduct inspections, as the ore shipped back from overseas by Kunlun Minerals always required refining and processing, necessitating proximity to processing companies.

Subsequently, Li Minghan announced that large-scale ore storage bases would be established in Yuhang, Shandong Province, and Ganzhou.

In addition, Kunlun Minerals has also established Kunlun Rare Earth Company in the inland region, which will launch a rare earth mine acquisition plan.

In the rare earth industry, where prices are practically dirt cheap, even less valuable than salt, the entry of the Kunlun mine has caused quite a stir in the entire inland rare earth sector.

Currently, domestic mines mainly focus on industries such as iron and aluminum, and there are very few that are interested in rare earths. Nobody knows why Kunlun Minerals would take a liking to such a lousy industry and spend a lot of money to stockpile them.

Since its establishment, Kunlun Rare Earth has acquired several rare earth mines. Now, the most expensive rare earth mine costs only a few million yuan, while cheaper or more difficult-to-mine mines can be acquired for a few hundred thousand yuan.

Of course, Kunlun Minerals only acquires legitimate and licensed mines. There are far more unlicensed and illegally mined rare earth mines, which are currently beyond our control.

However, with Kunlun Minerals' large-scale entry into the market and its acquisition of rare earth mines, coupled with purchases from other rare earth mining companies, domestic rare earth prices began to rise. As a result, the prices of rare earths imported from China by Japan, America, and Europe also began to soar.

By establishing ore storage bases and making significant investments in the rare earth industry, Kunlun Minerals' reputation in the inland ore industry has soared.

While many in China were focusing their attention on Kunlun Minerals, Li Minghan, citing health reasons and the need for rest, disappeared from the Kunlun Minerals team and headed towards Shehong Lithium Industry Company.

……

The leaves on the roadside trees have turned yellow and withered. A gust of autumn wind blows by, making people feel a little chilly. However, as the car drives through the streets of Pingyang, one does not feel the desolation of autumn in Pingyang. Instead, one sees a bustling scene.

China has largely recovered from the impact of the Southeast Asian financial crisis, and the reconstruction efforts following the floods have led to a strong economic recovery. This feeling is even more pronounced in Binh Duong.

Construction sites are almost everywhere, with office buildings, residential communities, municipal buildings, shopping malls, schools and so on being built one after another.

Looking out the car window at Pingyang, Li Dongling, who had only been away from Pingyang for a few months, found the scenery outside somewhat unfamiliar.

The same street, which was a construction site before he left Pingyang, now has a modern residential area, a well-planned small supermarket, storefronts, and so on, as if it suddenly appeared before his eyes.

When we arrived at the next street, I remembered it as an old-style residential area, a place where neighbors gathered. There were small, run-down restaurants, shabby grocery stores, barbershops, grain and oil shops, breakfast stalls, hardware stores, tailor shops, and so on, catering to the needs of the people living in this area.

But now, it has vanished without a trace and turned into a large construction site.

Nowadays, Pingyang is so unfamiliar that even people from other places wouldn't recognize it, let alone those who dare to call themselves native Pingyang residents.

Originally, it only took less than 20 minutes to get from Dongfang Jiayuan to the Dongling High-Tech headquarters on Changqing Road, but now, due to road construction, people have to take a detour.

Along the way, besides feeling somewhat unfamiliar with Pingyang's urban development, Li Dashan's biggest impression was the traffic jams.

The number of cars on the streets of Pingyang has suddenly increased, I don't know when it started. There are Pingyang taxis, as well as a lot of vans and private cars. Although the cars are not high-end, mostly Santanas, it can still show the current level of development in Pingyang.

Besides cars, motorcycles have become the most common sight on the streets, outnumbering bicycles!
Motorcycles are almost ubiquitous in Pingyang. While many people can't afford a Santana costing over 100,000 yuan, the income level in Pingyang is more than enough to buy a motorcycle. This has made Pingyang the largest motorcycle market in western Hebei, with motorcycles of all brands clustered together for sale in Pingyang.

Yang Zhigao, who was driving today, felt something was off. He took several detours, but they were either stuck in traffic or under construction. Finally, he managed to get to Oriental Times Square, which is now the real city center of Pingyang.

Across from Oriental Times Square, there is another construction site, where the Pingyang New Municipal Building is being built.

To the right of the Oriental Times Shopping Mall is the Hanxi Software Industrial Park, where the Hanxi IT Training Center and New Oriental Pingyang Campus are located.

When Li Dongling passed by the Hanxi IT Training Center, he saw several long queues at the entrance.

Li Dongling looked at the scene before him, surprised for a moment, and then understood what was going on.

The internet boom has begun, and naturally, more and more people want to enter the internet industry.

Hanxi IT Training Center is currently the largest and most professional IT training center in China. It has also partnered with companies such as Tianya, Yahoo! Taiwan, and Cyberport, claiming to offer internship opportunities at these companies, which naturally attracts countless people to apply!
