Winner Takes It All, Resurrection 2009

"Zhang Defa, damn, you are so photogenic?
And when did you get close to the group boss? You are about to take off!"

It's the annual March 15th again, but the intensity of the crackdown this year seems to be a little different. First, CCTV organized a three-day series of reports to crack down on pre-packaged edible products.

The large number of sensational inside stories revealed in the book almost caused the demise of an emerging industry.

Qin Lang, president of Chichume Catering Management, demonstrated his zero-tolerance attitude towards illegal additives and illegal operations in edible products in front of the people of the whole country.

"All cooked food products that have not been strictly inspected by Chizume Catering and the supply chain are not allowed to be sold through the platform channels...

In order to prevent restaurants without dine-in services from continuing to take advantage of platform channels and endangering the health of consumers, Chichuime will establish a set of systems specifically for chefs.

The tracking, registration and assessment system for kitchen apprentices and other personnel conducts extensive supervision and handling of abnormal food delivery speeds, inferior raw materials and other behaviors within the specified time.

The company will unconditionally cooperate with law enforcement agencies to crack down on stores that violate regulations..."

If it were any other company, they would not dare to openly hinder capital from making money, because the consequences of offending capital are very serious. At the very least, their financing channels will be cut off, and at worst, their competitors will have an opportunity to take advantage.

Either way, companies that suffer from capital backlash will not have an easy time.

But Qin Lang was so bold that he announced it to the world in front of CCTV reporters, as if he was going to kill anyone who came.

This is of course the Qingyun system, or it can be said that the big boss Li Zehua gave him the courage and confidence.

The Chichuimei restaurant chain plan has been in development for one or two years. Today, it has more than 3 directly-operated or franchised restaurants across the country, purchasing and leasing business premises, and supplying catering raw materials.

From sales channels to revenue settlement and distribution, service staff training, and chef recruitment, we have established a system for opening stores and operating them, and for profit sharing, which relies on big data analysis and automated execution.

In the food delivery industry, Chizue.com occupies more than 99% of the market share, achieving a de facto monopoly. Qingyun is not afraid of any competitors entering the market.

The attitude has been made clear, and without the support of the takeout field, the future development of ready-to-eat products is doomed to be limited. Before the huge mountain of "have you eaten yet" is removed, capital can only watch helplessly.

When ordinary people see ready-to-eat products right out of the package, they just feel hatred.

Colleagues in the catering industry are still frightened when they see this, because without the intervention of the food and beverage industry, it is possible that bad money will drive out good money and all the honestly run stores will be affected.

Eventually, they will be crushed by the heavy rent expenses (restaurants without dine-in service do not need street-facing storefronts) and the huge back-of-house labor costs (restaurants without dine-in service do not need chefs).

If in other industries, it is technology that changes the future and improves user experience, then here, it is capital that squeezes the middle layer as much as possible.

If ordinary chefs are employed, the physical store rental industry will become even more depressed in the future. Furthermore, they will squeeze the income of vegetable farmers through the centralized procurement channels they control.

The most important thing is that inferior products are sold as good ones, and a large amount of uninspected meat is used to mix in, which seriously endangers everyone's health.

But in the end, do consumers benefit?
No, they pay high prices and enjoy cheap and poor-quality services. While emptying their wallets, they enjoy the "happiness" of having their bodies drained, and they still have to contribute to medical care when they are old.

In fact, all this has nothing to do with Li Zehua. As long as he raises his hand or relaxes a little, money will flow into his pocket in large amounts. Some capital from the southeast coast even comes to him on his own initiative.

He can set any conditions, and I guarantee that the final profit will satisfy him.

Well, they were all found through Qiandu channels, but Li Zehua had no interest in investing in hospitals or contracting departments. He was just wary of the network of relationships behind them, so he hasn't taken any action for the time being.

Qingyun will definitely enter the medical market, but not now, but in the future. At least it will wait until the group has a firm foothold in Southeast Asia, Latin America and Africa before considering...

In the three-day series of reports, Zhang Defa made a big splash. He was positioned as a whistleblower, with the company fanning the flames.

Many catering outlets that have the conditions play the above content on a loop in prominent locations in their business premises, which not only educates consumers about food safety, but also makes Zhang Defa famous.

Because of his letter of complaint, more than 400 colleagues in the Chime company were directly eliminated, including more than 60 webmasters and regional managers, and a thriving industry was indirectly destroyed.

But what happened next shocked everyone.

Just when everyone was looking at him with strange eyes, some with admiration, some with resentment, and some with hatred, a document of appointment and dismissal from the office of the chairman of the head office shattered everyone's three views.

Zhang Defa, an ordinary little-known person before the 315 Incident, actually rose to the top overnight and became the administrative assistant of the big boss?
Until he walked into the company's headquarters building and, under the guidance of the reception secretary, stepped into the most supreme office that symbolized the entire Qingyun Group.

Zhang Defa was still dizzy. He asked himself more than once in his heart, what virtue and ability did he have to achieve such success in one step?
In terms of expanding his network, at best he knew Liang Xiaolong, the former director of the East China region. As for the big boss, he had only seen him from afar in the crowd a few times during meetings.

In terms of background, education, and ability, he has nothing to show for it, but why was he chosen?

He doesn't understand.

Unfortunately, no one explained it to him.

He was receiving training at the headquarters in the morning, and in the afternoon he received a notice to report to the chairman's office of the head office.

He was not the only one who came. There was also Liu Ziliang, the team leader of a newly established project team of Qingyun Software. However, he was not directly appointed as the boss's assistant.

The reason for being called here is also very strange.

"I will assist Mr. Zeng, the president of the Smart Logistics Network Business Group, and be responsible for hosting the competition against the offline vehicle operation group?"

Liu Ziliang was confused.

He really couldn't understand why he, an architecture engineer responsible for software development and optimization of the QingCloud Hongmeng mobile phone operating system, was suddenly transferred across industries.

Running to handle offline vehicle operation business and be responsible for dealing with competition with taxi groups, isn't this forcing the issue?

Xie Bin, the new president of the Human Resources Department who came out to talk to them, frowned and asked, "Why, you don't want to?"

Liu Ziliang didn't believe that pie would fall from the sky. "I want to know the reason."

Zhang Defa was completely confused and still couldn't figure out what was going on.

"There is no explanation. You need to figure it out on your own."

Xie Bin said coldly, then pointed to the door of the chairman's office and said, "Think it over carefully, then you are qualified to knock on the door and go in."

The two of them looked at the gate at the same time, but no one knew what they were thinking...

"Zhang Defa came from the grassroots and has good morals, but this is useless. For those in high positions, this is just a means to restrain others.

If everyone strictly abides by the highest moral standards and has their own bottom line, wouldn't that give us the opportunity to manipulate them at will? "

At this moment in the office, a strange face was sitting opposite Li Zehua and talking to him. Just by looking at his casual and calm way of chatting with his old friend, one could tell that he was not an ordinary person.

If it were someone else, facing a big boss who controls hundreds of billions of resources, who wouldn't maintain the necessary respect and humility?

Only he was sitting with his legs crossed, flicking the ashes casually, as if he was at home.

Li Zehua smiled and said, "Not everyone is born with the same wealth and resources as you.

Moreover, for ordinary people, having a sense of awe, knowing what can and cannot be done, and abiding by the bottom line can help them go further. "

"How far can it be?"

The mysterious man looked young, but he liked to be a good teacher. "The higher you go, the more crowded the place is, and the price of each seat has been secretly marked in advance.

You have to pay as much as you want to get. If you still want to pursue the so-called persistence in your heart, what is the difference between that and being a hypocrite and a saint?"

Li Zehua looked at him teasingly and asked, "Do you say the same thing to your old man at home?"

"That's not the case. I usually stay in Hong Kong. Unless it's an important occasion, I won't go back to Guangdong, so that he won't be annoyed when he sees me."

The mysterious man glared at him unhappily, "I know you're awesome, and even my old man can't do anything to you, but you can't just give me no face at all!
I finally made some achievements, but you teamed up with those guys from the north and ruthlessly destroyed my business. Now Goldman Sachs is here to ask for an explanation. How can I explain it to you?" "How about I follow your example and send a scapegoat to appease the public anger?"

Li Zehua joked, "It just so happens that one of the parties involved in the two matters you mentioned is right outside the door. You should be able to report back with him."

"Bullshit, I took him away, and now you dare to cut our investment share. Can one person earn billions of investment income? I'd be crazy to do a loss-making business."

The mysterious man snorted coldly and firmly refused, "Don't try to set a trap for me. I've finally figured out that you are very slippery and you are very careful in employing people.

The kid named Zhang outside is very hated now. Once he leaves your protection, he might die suddenly one day. We are here to keep an eye on him for you, so you can use him with confidence.

As for the other one, I guess you have bad intentions too, maybe you are up to something bad and are ready to set a trap for him."

"Am I as bad as you say?"

Li Zehua looked as if he didn't want to pay attention to him, and then asked back: "Not really, even if you, Meizhuang, Goldman Sachs, and more spontaneously organized venture capital institutions are interested in the pre-packaging industry.

But up to now, we have only invested a small amount of money. Are tens of millions nothing to you?

"If you just tinker with it, you can easily make the money back, right? Is it necessary to go to the extent of causing death?"

"Tens of millions?!"

It would be fine if he didn't mention it, but once he did, the mysterious man was almost pissed off, "Do you know how long we have been planning to get on board with your food delivery business?

According to an assessment made by Goldman Sachs investment experts, the food delivery industry may be able to achieve an annual output value of four to five hundred billion yuan in the future. This is just in China, and it is unknown how big the market will be when it goes abroad.

From this, we can expand it to the entire catering industry. There is a pre-packaged market in both the mid-range, high-end and low-end markets. The output value is trillions, brother!
Do you know how that guy outside caused us to lose our bright future with just one letter of denunciation?
We dare not touch you, but who does he think he is? If you don't have people watching him, do you believe he will get lucky when he goes out?"

"Let's try it."

Li Zehua didn't have good luck in his previous life. He seemed to have drowned. People who have died once don't seem to have any fear in this regard.

He said, "Your people are watching us every day, so why not let me open my eyes and see how you can cover up the world with one hand."

"Bah, no wonder my father said you are a piece of dog-skin plaster that can't be peeled off once it's on. If it weren't for your ability to create a steady stream of profits, you would have a much better ending than him."

The mysterious man chuckled, "No one dares to touch you in China, but do you dare to go to America? Believe it or not, you will be detained in a minute and you will never be able to come back."

"It's over if I don't go."

Li Zehua didn't bother to pay attention to him, "I said you came here just to disgust me, right?

Have you finished talking? I have to go to work now. "

"It's really boring. When you reach your level, can't you make a little compromise?
Don't be so serious. Listen to my advice. If you don't follow the crowd and don't fit in, you will suffer in the future."

The mysterious man half-seriously advised: "Just like those two outside, wouldn't it be better to pledge your allegiance to get ahead in one step?

These are all our leftovers. You have no idea what a huge resource we have in our hands. If even a little bit of it leaks out, it will be enough to make you suffer."

Seeing Li Zehua's emotionless gaze, he felt bored and stood up as if to leave. Before leaving, he couldn't help but turned back and said, "Think it over and call me.

We can all sit down and talk peacefully. There is no need to fight for the interests of the people below. This will not benefit anyone. Think it through yourself."

"Hurry up and get busy."

Li Zehua didn't even have the interest to see him off. It wasn't until he left that he couldn't help but sigh, "Wang Tianci, even the last name has been changed. What a pity. Without the tree, nothing else can come from.

You want to force me to give up just by opening your mouth, what right do you have?"

Some people can't help but sigh that it is too difficult to do something. Just a pre-packaging has attracted many big shots to greet them. Fortunately, it is still the initial layout stage of capital, once they can form a climate.

Qingyun alone cannot stop the big capital from banding together.

"Let Zhang Defa and Liu Ziliang come in. Also, please ask Mr. Wu Yibin and Mr. Zeng Haiyang to come over."

After pressing the call button, he quickly adjusted his mindset. Looking at the two unfamiliar figures pushing the door open, he handed the stage to Zhang Tao and asked the latter to take charge of teaching.

"The road has been paved. It depends on your choice how to proceed."

As he thought so, he quickly signed several appointment, dismissal and promotion documents. When Zeng Haiyang arrived, he said, "It's up to you to decide how to do it.

As for those little tails behind him, you can deal with them as you see fit."

Zeng Haiyang was obviously stunned for a moment, but soon reacted, "I have already said hello to Xie Bin. It just so happens that the Southeast Asia branch is short of people, and the Yunnan-Myanmar branch is quite good."

"It's up to you. Just let them suffer a little."

Li Zehua didn't care. He wouldn't take someone's life for such a small matter. Wasn't it just that Apple and Google sent people to bribe the internal staff of the software company and tried to reach out to him?

He does the same thing himself, it all depends on one's ability.

"By the way, the negotiations with Tengda are progressing very quickly. When the time is right, transfer Zhang Xiaolong back to be your technical vice president to assist you in management."

This was said to Wu Yibin, who nodded and did not refuse. Then he asked him, "Is the assistant confirmed? Do you not need me to hire another professional from Temasek?"

Wu Yibin felt it was a pity, but his boss didn't give anyone face. Even Li Yilong's personal recommendation was rejected. He just said it as a routine matter to give an explanation to all parties.

As expected, he was rejected, but he was not discouraged and turned to talking about work, "Public opinion against offline taxi operation groups has begun to ferment.

Some people think that we have crossed the line, while others believe that the allocation of public resources can be appropriately and beneficially adjusted as long as it is done within the general framework of rules.

But they hope to use a more moderate approach, rather than the current one-sided accusations that tend to polarize conflicts.”

"Let them come and listen, after all, Xiao Liu will be responsible for the specific operations next."

Li Zehua waved his hand to Zhang Tao, called the remaining two people over, and then said: "The company's methods are already mild enough. If it were someone else, who would care about the lives of the people below?

If the mountains are moved away, at least 75% of the profits will belong to the workers, and the resources will be circulated rapidly underneath. How big a stimulus this will be to the automobile industry? Don’t they understand?
No one can oppose them. Shunfeng Chuxing has tied up with Qingyun Power Technology, BYD, and Geely, and industrial chain bases have begun to be established in Jiangsu, Sichuan, and Shandong.

The bulk of the industry's future profits come from taxes. Unless they don't want this trillion-dollar industrial chain, they must support us unconditionally.

If I'm really desperate, I'll just move the registered place. I don't believe other provinces won't be tempted."

Sometimes, he felt that he was too easy to talk to, which might cause some people to misunderstand him.

Not to mention the hundreds of billions of market value created by the online ride-hailing business itself, the related domestic new energy, hybrid and pure electric industries will also benefit from it. What a huge profit!

With the support of national strategy from above and the welcome of hundreds of millions of consumers from below, these mere clowns should have been swept out like fallen leaves by the autumn wind, but many people stood up to gossip.

This put the group in a passive position. Even with widespread support from the Internet, there were still people who fed back pressure to the group through different channels.

Zeng Haiyang is under the greatest pressure, but he is not worried because his advantage lies in the company, and no matter how you look at it, there is no possibility of him losing.

What's more, there is now Liu Ziliang, who is about to become the boss's administrative assistant, to help. According to the boss, he will become an indestructible sword.

He does things that offend people and benefits himself, so what is there to be afraid of?
Liu Ziliang obviously understood his situation, but he had no intention of backing down. Instead, his eyes were eager, because for ordinary people, such an opportunity would be hard to come by in a lifetime.

If we don't catch him, it will be against the will of heaven.

Look at Guo Xinyi, look at Wang Fei, what is their current status?
It's nothing more than selling your life to your boss in exchange for a lifetime of wealth. Go for it! (End of this chapter)
