Winner Takes It All, Resurrection 2009

"Hey, why are you the only one at home? Where's Qingyu?"

Li Zehua was a little uncomfortable with the sudden absence of someone at home, so he asked casually.

Lin Qingyi, who took over his coat and hung it up for him, said, "Her parents are coming to Yanjing today and asked her to have dinner together. She should rest in the dormitory tonight. Hehe, you miss her~
Do you need me to call~"

Li Zehua pulled his chin and thought for a moment, "Well, that's good, so you don't get too tired by yourself."

Lin Qingyi blushed and almost spit at him, muttering, "What kind of person is this? He works himself up day and night without any self-control, and he's not afraid of ruining his body."

"Youth is a waste if you don't act frivolously. I have so much capital that even I am afraid of it."

Li Zehua patted his waist with confidence and said, "How about you try it alone now?"

"Never."

Lin Qingyi was so scared that she quickly took a half step back, and seemed to remember something, and hurriedly said: "By the way, it seems that someone came to visit you at home this afternoon, and left a business card, saying that if it is convenient, you can come.

I hope to see you tonight."

"I've found your home. Show me your business card."

Li Zehua was slightly curious, but after receiving the business card, he was confused. "Yu Huatian from the Coarse Grain Factory, what could he want from me? What's more, he came to my house privately to look for someone."

Playing with the business card in his hand, he called Lin Wenhui and briefly explained the matter.

The latter helped to analyze: "It is possible that he is here for Lianxiang IBM's business."

“What a quick reaction!”

Li Zehua understood immediately, "Dong Wenbiao took the initiative to resign at the meeting this afternoon. The last obstacle for Qingyun to take over Minsheng Holdings has disappeared. According to regulations, the bank has priority recourse, and the Fanjiang Group holds 29% of Lianxiang shares.

From this moment on, it completely belongs to the group. Together with the Lianxiang shares used as collateral for loans under Yang Yuanqin's name, it is close to 60%."

"The shares of secondary market circulation acquired through the Hong Kong stock market are approaching 75%, and they don't have much time left."

Lin Wenhui added, and then asked in surprise: "Why didn't he contact through public channels, but visited privately? Does he still have the intention of negotiating peace privately?"

"I don't know, but it's quite interesting. I've been in Yanjing for the past few days, and there have been so many people following me. Finally, someone is willing to take the initiative to stand up and admit it."

Lin Wenhui could tell from his boss's playful tone that he wanted to get to know him better, so he asked, "Should I come over?"

"That's fine. Please go there tonight and see what he is up to."

Li Zehua knew very well what the other party wanted to do. Ali and Tengda caused trouble for him on various occasions. Both sides had fundamental conflicts of interest and it was difficult to negotiate peace.

But Lianxiang, and the coarse grains that inherit all of Lianxiang’s resources, have the strong support of the Academy of Sciences. The fact that Huang Wenjun personally took action proves that many people are already anxious and are willing to personally take action to ensure that their own interests are not harmed.

But Qingyun cannot easily give up its special rights and interests in the education system. Not to mention far away, just in the higher education institutions, those academicians and senior scholars have many students all over the world.
To offend one person is equivalent to offending a group, not to mention the academy of science that represents the interests of the entire academician group. This is why Qingyun spared no effort and did not hesitate to use all his connections.

It is also necessary to block other companies. This is the reason why financial institutions are trying to rescue Lianxiang. It is easy to give money to redeem Lianxiang Holdings and the mortgaged shares of Lianxiang Investment.

But how can we stop Qingyun from taking control of Lianxiang's board of directors with the 29% shares in hand? If the shareholding exceeds one-tenth, they can apply for an audit, and in serious cases, they can even apply to dissolve the company.

Even if the person behind the scenes is powerful, he dare not blatantly stop Qingyun from exercising his legal rights. With Liu Sen's previous experience as a lesson, everyone understands that this is a competition to the death.

Even if they want to negotiate peace in the end, it should be the new group that inherits most of the Academy's external interests that should come forward, provide enough resources to impress Qingyun, and talk things out thoroughly.

It is impossible for Qingyun to completely fall out with the Academy of Sciences. This will not benefit anyone, and Li Zehua does not want to leave a negative impression of being ignorant of the overall situation on them.

Yu Huatian understood, so he chose to contact privately. After getting permission, he came quickly and brought an unexpected person with him.

Huang Guangzhao, the de facto leader of the Academy of Sciences and the honorary leader of the Association for Science and Technology, is the father of Huang Wenjun, who had met Li Zehua before. His personal presence really surprised Li Zehua.

Fortunately, at this level, it is impossible for him not to be particular. His appearance itself is an obvious signal. He can't use his status to exert pressure, and it will also be bad for his reputation if it gets out.

"I heard that Mr. Li has cooperated with many colleagues in the Academy of Sciences. I came here today with a thick face to ask for help on behalf of a few unpromising students."

"Mr. Huang, you are so polite. Please take a seat."

Li Zehua did not dare to be arrogant, but after being warm and polite, he just assumed that he was here for other matters. As long as he did not take the initiative to speak, he decided not to respond.

Yu Huatian was standing nearby, carefully observing his biggest competitor from a close distance. He could not see any restraint or caution on Li Zehua's part, but instead saw an expression that seemed to be smiling but not quite smiling.

So he no longer had any hope for the best solution discussed before coming here, but after some politeness, he got straight to the point and said, “Coarse grains have no intention of going against Mr. Li.

As the saying goes, business is business, and choosing the development path that best suits the company is the responsibility and obligation of every manager.

Thanks to Mr. Ma and Mr. Li for their appreciation and investment in the start-up coarse grain company. Mr. Li also started from scratch and is well aware of the difficulties and hardships faced by small businesses in the early stages of development.

The fact that two industry giants came to me on their own initiative proved that they had thought it over carefully and could not refuse. I am just a small person, how could I withstand the threats and inducements of these two giants?

Moreover, given the situation at that time, even if I took the initiative to come to him for help, I would probably not be able to come up with a bargaining chip that would satisfy Mr. Li..."

As expected of the Eastern Steve Jobs who is known as the best marketer in history, he cleared himself of all charges with just a few words and even tried to make him resonate with the spirit as a fellow entrepreneur.

Understand and approve his choice, then discuss the distribution of benefits and build closer relationships. Even if the talks fail in the end, you will not have any other opinions about him.

Li Zehua casually asked Lin Wenhui, who had just come in, to find a seat and sit down, and nodded, "I know how hard it is for Mr. Yu to start his own business.

But if you have something to say, you might as well speak up. Fortunately, Mr. Huang is here too. Some things may be resolved through open and effective communication. "

Yu Huatian finally breathed a sigh of relief. What he feared most was that the other party would be unreasonable and continue to attack from the moral high ground in an attempt to kill them all.

So he stopped hiding it and laid out in front of Li Zehua the conditions that he had previously agreed upon with the investors and the Academy of Sciences.

In fact, the core focus of the matter is not that Tenda Ali has joined hands with Culiang to prepare to compete with Qingyun Electronics in the field of mobile phone hardware.

It's not about the ownership of Lianxiang shares. The market value is only about 10 to 20 billion yuan, which is not enough to make all the Internet giants nervous all the time.

The key lies in Huang Guangzhao, who seemed to come here to chat and make friends, or in other words, the interests of the Academy of Sciences that he represents.

There are many channels for the Academy of Sciences to monetize its resources, but Lianxiang Investment, which has developed based on Lianxiang Group, is definitely the most important one, even though it has never been prominent in the industry.

However, only a limited number of insiders in the industry know what kind of transcendent position Lianxiang Investment, which has developed by relying on its first-mover advantage, has in private capital.

The mere identity of the head of the Taishan Sect is enough to explain everything. If there is no extensive exchange of interests and mutual holding of shares, it will not be recognized willingly by the majority of people.

It is impossible for Liu Aiguo to have firmly controlled the leading position of private capital in the past decade or so.

To put it bluntly, nowadays, every profitable industry, including but not limited to real estate, technology, manufacturing and the Internet, retail, culture, tourism and finance, has the shadow of Lian Xiang behind it.

Putting aside the net assets and total scale, Lianxiang Holdings' tentacles are wider and farther than Qingyun Holdings. Many companies that ordinary people have never heard of are influenced and controlled by Lianxiang.

But unfortunately, holding shares on behalf of others is always just holding shares on behalf of others. It is borrowed power and the initiative is never in your hands. Most of the accumulated wealth has to be paid as tribute, and only a small part will be left.

That’s why the company is big but not strong. It has to rely on trickery to get new overseas channels, such as digging a pit for Yongchuang Yida to jump into, and then taking the opportunity to threaten it. And when it later entered the entertainment, tourism, culture, and Internet industries, it was not domineering at all, and it seemed a bit strong.

But once he makes a move, he always gives people the feeling that he is hesitant and has the illusion that he cannot use his strength. In the final analysis, it is still borrowed momentum.

When Qingyun takes action in an industry that he likes, he will often do nothing if he does not move, but when he moves, he will make a stunning debut and wipe out all enemies with his unstoppable force.

Once Qingyun has established a foothold wherever it goes, there will not be a decent challenger in the industry. To put it bluntly, it is because Qingyun earns every penny and there are no middlemen to make a profit from the difference.

Not to mention that 70% to 80% of the earnings had to be used as tribute, so the entire system became stronger and stronger.

Yu Huatian has now followed Lian Xiang's old path. Whether actively or passively, if he wants to successfully break through, he must reconcile with Qingyun...

"Qin Yang, go in and give me all of Lianxiang Group except the IBM business. But Tengda wants to take over Lianxiang Holdings Investment Company's business, and the chips you offer are not enough."

Listening to Yu Huatian's offer, Li Zehua pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "Business competition depends on ability. Mr. Yu is a senior in business, and Mr. Huang is a leader in the industry.

In fact, it was me, Meng Lang, who didn’t go to the door to pay my respects in advance. However, at this point, I have a group of friends who follow me to make a living. Even if I agree, they may not be willing. "

He didn't want to offend the person, so he just used the person behind him to intimidate him. "Speaking of which, before coming here, Mr. Yu talked to me about Mr. Yu.

There are not many rising stars like Mr. Yu in Hubei Province who have made it to where they are today entirely on their own. I hope I can have a good chat with Mr. Yu when I have time."

Yu Huatian certainly knew who he was talking about, and no matter how arrogant he was, he didn't dare to act rashly.

Even Mr. Huang couldn't help but let out a bitter smile. If anyone else dared to touch the money bag of the Academy of Sciences, they would have been pinned to the ground and rubbed hard, but this man has a lot of big shots behind him.

He has a big project in his hands that is related to the future development prospects of a place. He seems to be throwing money at it without spending any money. In addition, he has a very upright character and the funds he uses are very clean, making it difficult for people to find any handle on him.

Yu Huatian was helpless and could only be forced to make painful offers against his will, "If Mr. Li is willing to make peace, some of my friends are willing to do their best to increase educational resources.

Help Qingyun Group obtain all the qualifications it needs, and give some special care to Qingjie who cooperates with Qingyun in future selection qualifications.

I believe that Mr. Li understands the true value of these commitments. If Qingyun wants to achieve success in independent scientific research, it cannot do without the support and dedication of outstanding scientific researchers.

As for intellectuals, some seek wealth, some seek fame. Qingyun has money, and the Academy of Sciences has fame. If everyone cooperates with each other and benefits each other, wouldn't that maximize the use of resources? "

"That sounds good, but how can I ensure that you will continue to fulfill your promise after you get the resources you want?"

Li Zehua smiled but said nothing. Perhaps the other party was sincere at this moment, but only God knew whether the promise could be fulfilled after the difficulties were overcome.

“Lianxiang Holdings Investment will always be open to Qingyun. As long as Mr. Li is willing, he can always hold one-third of the shares.

Before coming here, Tony Ma specifically told me that he was very happy to establish deeper cooperation with Qingyun on new businesses and would not let competition in the instant messaging field affect the relationship between the two parties. "

Yu Huatian was also forced into a corner. Although Qingyun did not make any targeted moves against the coarse grain factories, its market share in the industry alone made many companies in the industrial chain doubt the prospects of cooperation with coarse grain factories.

The conditions for commissioned R&D, OEM production, and payment cycle negotiation are all the worst in the industry. Some factories even come to discuss cooperation as soon as they hear about coarse grains.

You ask for the full deposit right away, and after a little hesitation, the other party slams the door to negotiation shut. What's even more disgusting is that even if you can barely reach a cooperation agreement, the price offered for coarse grains will be lower.

It is also the highest in the industry.

Not to mention any preferential policies such as applying for phased cooperation and reducing the purchase price according to the increasing order volume. In short, Qingyun couldn't negotiate any coarse grains with the treatment he had.

Tenda has no way to deal with this because manufacturing technology companies, especially R&D companies that are middlemen and not involved in retail, do not have much demand for Internet traffic.

It does not sell products to the general public. Its main business is basically cooperation with large and medium-sized companies. Whether or not it advertises has no effect on sales.

Ali can indeed exert a certain influence on the middle links through cooperating terminal enterprises, but compared with Qingyun, a big customer, it is better to forget it.

Only foreign capital treats coarse grain factories quite well. The key is that Qingyun has launched the domestic industrial chain support plan for more than a year, relying on cheap labor and scale application advantages.

Domestic companies have begun to transform from keypad phones to smart manufacturing on a large scale. With the support of Qingyun's large orders, various new technologies are emerging one after another, even if they are slightly inferior to those of their foreign counterparts.

It doesn't matter, because Qingyun is willing to pay for it. Consumers in rural areas are more concerned about solving the problem of whether the product is available or not, rather than pursuing quality unilaterally. Most of them don't have the money to pursue high quality.

In the face of truly large-scale orders to satisfy your hunger, profitability is the best driving force for development. The competitive environment that coarse grains face is even worse than in the Lianxiang era.

As for the fact that Tony Ma of Tenda sent someone to convey the message of cooperation, to put it bluntly, it was because WeChat technology was flourishing both at home and abroad, and micropayments raised more than 40 billion US dollars in one go, which really made Chaozhou Zhou, the company behind Tenda, jealous.

The competition between QQ and WeChat is unlikely to stop in the long run, but the micro-payment competition between Tenpay and Qingyun is an unbreakable one.

Tenda needs Qingyun's technology and channels, and Qingyun also needs Tenda's support at home and abroad to quickly make its payment standards a global standard (universal payment technology based on QR code applications).

Both parties are well aware of each other's needs, so HSBC took the initiative to discuss cooperation, but Chaozhou Porridge was obviously still arrogant and did not understand which party held the initiative.

After suffering a setback in the negotiations, Tony Ma quickly recognized the situation, coordinated his position with Ali, and began the largest business strategy transformation in Tenda's history.

That is, change the model of one company eating alone, shift from industry paraquat to related investment in business empire, change the monetization of self-use traffic advertising to supporting friendly businesses, and earn dividends of the development of the times.

The investment in Lianxiang Holdings is Tengda’s first large-scale strategic application project. For this reason, Tony Ma would rather compromise with his arch-enemy Qingyun than keep up with the enemy’s development.

"Is Tony Ma really so generous?"

Li Zehua was really moved. Others might not know the value of Lian Investment, but didn’t he know it clearly?

Just within the business scope of Qingyun Electronics and Qingyun Power Technology, it is unknown how many companies have Lianxiang’s investment behind them, although most of them are technology-based companies.

It mainly undertakes the transfer of obsolete overseas technologies and OEM production, but after more than ten years of OEM career, it has accumulated many applied patent inventions.

One insignificant patent can be combined with tens or even hundreds of thousands of technical patents. With a little integration and further investment in research and development, it can even make foreign counterparts surrender.

This is very important to Qingyun!

Especially under the premise that there has already been a fundamental conflict of interest with Apple, Google, and Samsung, we should unite domestic peers and integrate the development achievements of the entire industry over decades.

If Qingyun can take another step forward on this basis, it will be able to maintain its invincible position and even defeat its overseas counterparts in the market for mid- and low-end technology applications.

Lian Xiang’s controlling investment has the qualifications to force Qing Yun to temporarily give in.

However, Li Zehua wanted more, "It's not enough. If Mr. Yu can make the decision, I want to acquire the shares of manufacturing companies held by Lianxiang Holding Investment.

In order not to let you suffer a loss, I purchased it at a premium.

In return, coarse grains can enjoy preferential technology licensing for five years.”

Five years is just right, by then Qingyun will go to the left, Coarse Grain will go to the right, and everyone will not interfere with each other.

Li Zehua wanted to take the opportunity to kill Coarse Grain in the cradle, but looking at the list of foreign investors behind Coarse Grain, which were attracted by the Academy of Sciences and Ali, who wouldn't have a headache?
Even if he makes every effort to defeat Coarse Grain, foreign capital can easily support another company to continue to compete with him, so it is better to get some benefits as soon as possible.

Yu Huatian was stunned, "That's too much."

Li Zehua refused to give in. "This is a prerequisite. I will continue the discussion only if you agree to it." (End of this chapter)
