Winner Takes It All, Resurrection 2009

"Hello, we are here on official business. Please cooperate and open the bag for inspection."

There are checkpoints at train stations, airports, bus stations, docks, highway intersections, and even on rural roads, as long as it is a channel leaving Pengcheng.

Because things are gradually getting out of control.

Never underestimate the power of certain people, especially since Squid Capital has the most cutting-edge Internet technology in the world today. After combing through all traces of Cai Yi's name.

A vague network targeting Tenda and, by extension, the entire mobile Internet financial business was uncovered, including any changes in his (and his family's) account balances.

The recent intensive call records all prove that Cai Yi has someone behind him. Considering his position, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is Tenda's expert in the field of mobile finance.

A person in such a sensitive position, not only took away the hard drive for work before disappearing, but also copied an unknown amount of confidential information before leaving. Is there any doubt about what he wanted to do?
What's more, his direct superior, Mr. Wang, also left the company not long after, and he could not be found no matter how hard they tried. This made everyone on the entire line begin to doubt whether their actions had been completely exposed?

This is no small matter. After tasting the sweetness of payment software avoiding regulation, billions of relatively clean funds are transferred into different accounts every month.

These are easy to deal with because everyone has a backup plan. The aliases and accounts that dare to be used to participate in transactions are all held by others behind several layers of insurance, even if the whole army is wiped out.

It's nothing more than a loss of some money, and the defense line is difficult to break through in a short period of time. Even if the higher-ups are determined to deal with it, the investigation time is enough for them to clear all traces.

But there are still more funds of unknown origin, what should we do?
Those who try to take advantage of the situation don't care whether the funds are safe or not. Some even simply take advantage of the convenience of payment software and transfer them directly from the victim's account in a blatant manner.

There were so many traces of uncivilized eating, like a messy account. Even the immortals would have to shake their heads. Even if they were given a few months, there was no way they could clear it up.

Once one of the key nodes is broken through, a large group of people will be brought out and no one will be able to escape.

It was obvious that they were targeting them. If the hard drive could not be retrieved, who knows how many people would be buried with them.

Come to think of it, it's not really the fault of the executives of the big groups involved. They are not stupid. They have done at least eight hundred similar businesses before. But the people who are executing them also have their own ideas!

They are not gods who can control everything. What's more, this is a business that cannot be seen in the open. It requires a large number of trusted confidants to manage it on their behalf. And around the trusted confidants are also more subordinates and younger brothers who are just trying to make a living.

For example, in Haojing, the behind-the-scenes controller of the hotel is the real big capital. The people who are responsible for operations, providing capital turnover, and operating online gambling businesses in front of the stage cannot be handed over to the same person for checks and balances and can only be dispersed.

Under these people are contractors from various departments, factions, and people in charge of secret lines, who together form a middle-level structure within the organization. They are responsible for handling some of the dirty work.

The people above are only responsible for coordinating interpersonal relationships and leading the direction of development. They will only step forward when there are issues that cannot be resolved by those below them.

Over time, in the course of daily business operations, the middle-level people who manage the business on behalf of others will also accumulate a large number of personal connections of their own, through mutual binding and resource exchange.

Only the middle class can gain a firm foothold and at the same time provide more benefits to the upper levels. For the sake of interests, as long as they do not openly defect, the big capital above will often turn a blind eye.

Now, there is a perfect new channel. No matter how much money is thrown into it, it can all be cleaned up. Moreover, it is under the protection of the big bosses and no one cares about it at ordinary times. Do you think these middle-level managers will have no ideas?

They usually rely on the help of external forces to continuously create stable and increasing benefits for those above them. Of course, they must give returns at the appropriate time to maintain a stable, mutually beneficial relationship.

However, the gangs who have been working on the front line all year round only care about living for the moment and are always fighting for territory and business. They don't really care about the details of what they do.

Some people even came to the door with tens of millions of cash, just like going to the market to buy vegetables, and just threw a pile of cash on the table, asking for help to cash it out.

You can't expect this kind of person to set up a complete anti-reconnaissance defense line, set up a legal person, set up a company, and have his own specialized and legal business operations, and then put up the framework.

They launder 300 to 500 million yuan steadily every year, and yet they haven't been discovered by the regulators?
That would be too much of a compliment to these people. Even those well-known bosses in the original time and space who had turnover of hundreds of billions could be easily found out. The evidence was all there, it was just a matter of whether or not they wanted to take action.

Now it has been revealed that someone in a core position within the platform has voluntarily surrendered to the enemy with complete evidence, which has scared these people because this is within the entire liquid settlement system of Internet finance.

This amount of money is still lying in the deposit account of Tenda Company. What is even more frightening is that half of the control over the account is in the hands of the central bank. Even if the account is cut immediately, there is no way to get it back in a short period of time.

In a word, we are in big trouble!
Unfortunately, they were a little late because their competitors reacted faster...

"What's going on? Didn't they say that they would wait a few days for overseas public opinion to start, and then let a few scammers who were not deeply involved stand out first, so as to arouse public outrage before taking action?"

In Hong Kong, many people could no longer sit still and made calls to the mainland. Even Li Zehua could not escape the questioning.

Li Zehua did nothing the whole afternoon. He listened to the phone while instructing his subordinates to start the action. He didn't know how many times he had explained, "Mr. Huo, it really wasn't me who did it.

There is no benefit for me to do this. The preparations are not yet complete. If I push the dog to jump over the wall now, I might get bitten back. "

He briefly recounted the incident and said helplessly, "Since things have come to this point, there is no choice. Let's do it together."

The person on the other end of the phone seemed to be considering the pros and cons, but fortunately everyone was a person who could let go and understood that the arrow was on the string and had to be shot.

So after a brief confrontation and a few warnings, he reluctantly compromised.

After hanging up the phone, Li Zehua sneered, "You want to eat meat but you're afraid of getting beaten. How can you accomplish anything if you're hesitant? If I don't push you, you'll probably be waiting for me to help you."

Lin Wenhui gave a thumbs up and said, "Boss, this is really a bad move, but no one can blame you. After all, who can say for sure about technical matters?

It is reasonable that they were discovered in advance and forced to launch the attack early."

"Stop flattering me, and let's all speak with one voice. We must firmly believe that it was Cai Yi and his gang who took risks to get more money and accidentally exposed themselves in the process of collecting top-secret information.

This forced the company to launch the plan ahead of schedule without fully completing preparations. "

Li Zehua only said this to deceive outsiders, but of course he had another set of words for his own people, "Everyone wants to take advantage of the ready-made things, how can they fall from the sky?
They are all shrewd and scheming, and appear to be thinking about us, but in fact, aren't they planning to create a head-on collision between the group and the capital behind Tengda?

Humph, it started overseas first. Then why didn’t the television stations, news weekly and newspaper media that they control and influence report it first and stimulate public opinion?

Why do we have to wait for WeChat to expose it first?
I just want to tell Tengda that it was Qingyun who took the first move, and they had to follow suit in order to protect their own interests.

When Tengda launches a counterattack, even if the group can stop it, both sides will suffer losses. It is still up to them to decide how much of the pie they get to give us.

If you want to cheat me, you have no chance. We have to fight together and no one should be left behind."

Wu Yibin kept an eye on the trends of public opinion and the development of events, and took advantage of the break to quickly report: "All of Tengda's connections have been mobilized, although there hasn't been much movement on the surface.

However, all ports and major traffic routes leaving Pengcheng were monitored under various pretexts, and even the highway intersections were checking for leaf balls.

It's just ridiculous that the friend introduced by Mei Zhuang got tens of thousands of hard drives and threw them out at once, and he wasn't afraid of being found by others."

"What is he afraid of?"

Li Zehua sneered, "Even if they find out, what can they do? Qin Ye has been spying on Hong Kong's core assets for a long time. Now that they finally have the chance, do you think they will let it go?
Looking at the information we have now, if we throw it out, it would be enough to skin HSBC dry. If we work harder, we can take down one or two of the shareholders who are most deeply involved.

At least a dozen points of HSBC shares can be freed up. Plus, it is involved in many serious crimes. Even if Britain and the United States come forward together, they cannot save HSBC.

How much the fine is and how many people to deal with are all part of the bargaining. If the directors do not want to be scapegoats, they can only make selective compromises. And the higher authorities cannot completely punish them with one blow, as that would bring too much criticism and pressure, especially at this critical juncture of foreign investment inflows and attracting overseas funds and technologies for industrial upgrading.

In the end, it will be a case of much ado about nothing. As long as Meizhuang and the Qin family achieve their goals, they will naturally come forward to help deal with the aftermath."

Gu Shijie participated in the whole process and immediately added after hearing this: "There is at least half a year of sufficient time. As long as the company can seize the opportunity, it can force Tengda to accept the company's settlement conditions.

You can put yourself in a relatively safe position before all your competitors react, but it is difficult to grasp this degree.

If we hit too hard and too hard, the investors behind Tengda may not agree. Once the relationship is completely broken, there may be more complications, which will give the Americans an opportunity to take advantage.

If it’s less, I won’t be willing to delay the development of WeChat technology and micropayments! ”

As he said this, he glanced at Wu Yibin, signaling him to come forward and offer better conditions. After all, when it is time to kick a drowning dog, it is safest to encourage others to come forward. You can get some meat without getting bitten.

Wu Yibin knew his tricks very well, but for his own future, he had to stand up and fight. As long as he could suppress Tengda, he would be able to free up his hands to make his own micro-videos.

Yes, Wu Yibin has clearly realized that it will be difficult for Tenda to defeat WeChat, which has a large number of rural users and a basic overseas market, in the mobile sector, even without this layout.

WeChat will not lose either, because Tenda cannot bring income to users in rural areas, but WeChat, which relies on the Qingyun system, can.

He originally thought that the company's most important platform on the mobile side must be WeChat, but he never expected that Kuaibo would be acquired, Wang Xing would come, and Douyin Interactive Entertainment would only have tens of thousands of internal test users.

Even in terms of the level of attention paid by the company, no one would dare to believe it if it were told that it surpassed WeChat Technology, which has over 100 million users worldwide.

But after he got started, he realized that the WeChat software has inherent limitations. It can direct traffic to third-party products, but it cannot convert them directly.

Unlike Douyin Interactive Entertainment, its mall can perfectly integrate JD.com and Pinxixi e-commerce, while local business can incorporate Pinxixi group buying.

Live streaming not only meets people’s spiritual needs, but also opens up a brand new track: live streaming with goods?

This is totally off the mark. WeChat can only present information to consumers through text and pictures at most. Even if it develops similar functions, it still needs to be in the mini program or enter the interface through search.

Compared with the quick interface of Douyin Interactive Entertainment, it is simply not a product of the same dimension.

Not to mention that Douyin Interactive Entertainment can also drive the development of more related businesses. Compared with WeChat, it may be irreplaceable except for the exchange of information among acquaintances (work).

All other life, entertainment and spiritual needs are met, especially the fragmented time management that Wang Xing often talks about, which makes him feel uncomfortable.

Even the food delivery business that the group started with can find the best solution on the Douyin platform. How could he not be anxious?

Therefore, the business plan for micro-videos was put forward, but neither the decision-making committee nor the boss had made up their minds whether to incubate a second similar product within the framework of the group.

Wu Yibin certainly won’t sit still and wait for death, so he now keeps saying, “Tengda is nothing to worry about, as long as we can successfully destroy its Internet finance sector this time.

Taking advantage of the situation and stepping hard on public opinion, those students, young people who have just entered society and still have a pure heart, will uninstall in large numbers to show that they have drawn a clear line. "

There is no problem in doing this, as long as it can be proved that Tenda was fully aware of the incident and acted as the main driving force, in the face of technological competition from WeChat.

Users have the right to choose, whether out of righteous indignation or empathy to uphold justice, they will choose to embrace WeChat without hesitation.

As for the dispute with 361, which was still at the moral level of accusation and disgust, it gave WeChat Technology a golden opportunity to gain a foothold.

Those who were indeed involved in this incident and were the active promoters may face severe legal punishment. It is inevitable that consumers will flee on a large scale and join their competitors.

Li Zehua certainly knew that this was something that was likely to happen, but as the actual controller of the group, he had to consider the risk of holding on to Tengda and not letting go.

He has accumulated connections for more than ten years, came from the Chaozhou Porridge Group, and has a large group of Hong Kong and Yutai funds to support him. It is almost impossible to kill him, and even sending him in is difficult.

The best outcome is that Tenda recognizes the reality and surrenders, willing to give up most of the market and become a second-tier Internet company. Everyone can get along well and naturally won't fall out.

After all, Tenda's advantage in the computer sector is too great, and it is a mountain that Qingyun cannot surpass in the short term, plus the gaming business and the stickiness of teenagers and ordinary office workers.

Any attempt to completely eliminate Tengda would be foolish.

But how much should it be suppressed so that it does not continue to pose a threat to Qingyun's main business and can make Tenda accept it calmly is a difficult problem.

Wu Yibin obviously wants to achieve the desired results in one go and gain advantages on both computers and mobile phones, so that he can free up his hands to compete with the internal Douyin Interactive Entertainment and vie for greater voice.

Li Zehua was a little hesitant, but he had to consider the opinions of Temasek and other investors represented by Wu Yibin. In order to fight back desperately against Tengda, he would need these people to provide crucial support.

"It's too far-fetched to discuss this topic in a short period of time, but I can promise that the micro-video project can be established, and the subsequent competition will depend on each person's ability, as long as it does not affect the normal development of the group."

The proposal to temporarily shelve it received majority support from many attending directors and decision-making committee members. Wu Yibin was not discouraged, after all, it was necessary to change the strategy formulated by the group.

It is not something that can be accomplished overnight. As long as the boss's attitude softens and he can give a perfect explanation to the investors behind him, it will be fine.

"Now let's get back to the point. The hard drive is already on its way to Shanghai. There are fully armed personnel in charge, so there is no need to worry about its safety.

Under the premise of absolute confidentiality, the company will first find out the specific information in the hard drive and then formulate the next plan based on the actual situation.

According to the previous plan, we should now launch a public opinion offensive in the Mainland, Hong Kong and overseas simultaneously. Mr. Wu, you should contact Temasek directly on this point. At the latest, it should be done tonight.

I want to see movement.”

After coordinating the balance of internal interests, Li Zehua decisively issued an order, "Boss Gu, contact the remaining partners in Pengcheng and ask them to be ready to come forward and expose the truth at any time.

The Wang who ran away is Wang Wenlun, the vice president of Tengda, right?
Arrange for him to cross the border tonight and surrender directly to ICAC in Hong Kong tomorrow. Tengda is a listed company in Hong Kong, and there are Hong Kong-registered companies and businessmen involved in the case on a large scale, so it is most appropriate to let them handle it.

Especially now that it's a powder keg, hasn't Hong Kong capital been leading the trend, saying that the mainland has taken away their jobs?

Now let everyone take a good look at what they are, and then arrange for the media to collectively come to the scene to expose them and say hello to the Huo and Qin families. This Wang Wenlun is the key to the matter.

His being alive is better than anything else. Just by relying on his position as the vice president of the business unit, he can make Tengda lose face.

Mr. Lin, Mr. Yao, arrange for the foundation to immediately follow up and short sell all the Hong Kong-listed companies involved, including Tengda and Cheung Kong..."

Following Li Zehua's orderly arrangements, a large number of people began to be mobilized.

At this point, everyone knows that the key lies in the hard drive. Once the evidence recorded in it is exposed, thousands of people will be buried with it.

Before it arrives safely in the Magic City, everyone can only make preparations and wait and see the results!
Of course, there are also some people who can't wait and plan to try some new tricks on the road...
