Winner Takes It All, Resurrection 2009

"I said, you haven't caused any trouble recently, right? Why are you calling me?"

Liu Qiangdong was well-informed at Yanjing, especially after JD.com started offline operations, he acquired land across the country to build modern logistics centers and made many connections.

Some news naturally reached his ears. When he heard that Qingyun was causing trouble in the south and that someone was even openly trying to make him look bad, he called him without stopping to inquire.

"You should take care of yourself more. You are like a tanned coal. Be careful. Once a man is over 35, if you don't take good care of yourself, he will be worthless."

"Fuck you, my child is about to go to school, why do you care about this?"

After joking, Li Zehua couldn't help but ask, "The news has reached you. It seems that someone is really planning to take the risk!"

"What do you mean it was passed to me?"

Liu Qiangdong couldn't help but complain, "So I'm just a junior and have no right to participate in your games?"

"It's okay if you understand it this way."

Li Zehua laughed loudly, and then said: "Think about it carefully, what does it mean for this kind of news to be spread? Before you called, the Six Gates Headquarters also called me.

He asked me about the security situation around me and also suggested that if it is not necessary, I should try to reduce the frequency of going out in the near future. Isn't this obvious enough?
By the way, do you have reliable people around you? Take as many people as possible with you when you go out. Now is a time of trouble. I will definitely be fine if I stay in Shanghai. I'm just afraid that they will be forced into a corner.

Attack you!"

"No way? It's not that scary, right?"

Liu Qiangdong was stunned. "Has it come to this?"

"What do you think? The seized funds alone exceed 300 billion, and there are also a series of subprime loans derived from contractual bonds. Tengda has found the right person to introduce Wall Street capital.

Three years ago, Wall Street used subprime mortgages to reap the world's profits. If you turn on the news, you will see that the victims almost turned the street upside down. Now the authorities have started a thorough investigation, and I don't know how many people will go to jail."

After listening to what Li Zehua said, Liu Qiangdong was silent for a moment before he said, "I don't understand you. Can't you just run your business properly? Why do you have to take crooked paths and give people something to hold against you out of thin air?

Once something goes wrong, you have to pay back the money you put in with interest, and in the end, you may not even be able to get out. Why bother? "

"A man cannot become rich without unexpected wealth, and a horse cannot grow fat without night grass."

Li Zehua smiled and explained, "Desire is a bottomless pit. Who doesn't want to make more money? In the end, it's because I'm not strong enough. There are many people taking action, and I'm the weakest.

It's normal for an old lady to be targeted for eating persimmons."

"I think it's targeting your micropayment business."

Liu Qiangdong seemed to care nothing, but he actually knew what was going on. "Xu Xin and Xu Lei tried every means to get me to come forward and help JD.com create a payment software, but I didn't fall for it.

It's done. I don't have control anymore. Others are making a lot of money with it. If something goes wrong, I will be the one to get punished..."

He was asking Li Zehua for help in disguise. He knew very well which businesses JD.com must do and which businesses must not be touched at all. However, the interest group represented by Xu Xin was too powerful.

If he refused openly, he might be framed. Instead of resisting it himself, it would be better to let Qingyun help him refuse. Li Zehua is much stronger than him.

Of course Li Zehua would not refuse. With an annual revenue of trillions in the future, JD.com could create at least tens of billions of value for micropayments. Moreover, it was the exclusive agent for the payment channel, so he had to help no matter what.

Liu Qiangdong nodded in satisfaction. When he hung up the phone, perhaps because of their friendship, he said sincerely, "Be careful. I'm still waiting to drink with you to celebrate the listing of JD."

"Don't worry, I'll make you crawl under the table when the time comes."

"Bullshit, we Huaihai men are not afraid of drinking, just wait and see."

After hanging up the phone, Li Zehua put away his smile, called Zhang Tao over and asked, "Did Yanjing give any clear instructions?"

"Not yet. The Magic City government did send a message asking us to keep a low profile. The Hong Kong Security Bureau sent a letter to the Golden Shield Defense Company this morning, requesting an inspection of the company's warehouse for weapons."

"Wait, this morning?"

Li Zehua was stunned. Golden Shield was a security and defense company jointly invested in Hong Kong by Qingyun and the Five Military Commandery. It was registered in strict accordance with the local laws of Hong Kong.

It openly holds nearly 400 pieces of individual weapons, and has undertaken some security work such as money transportation and large-scale events through some business groups close to the mainland.

At this point, the Security Bureau intervened and took back and temporarily detained the long and short guns in the name of checking the equipment. There seemed to be some problems.

Li Zehua picked up the phone and called Ma Jun. After asking for details, he couldn't help but say, "People who are following should pay special attention to their safety. Don't be alone and stay alert at all times."

"Please rest assured, sir. We have more than a thousand people here, half of whom are armed. The Security Bureau only seized more than half of them during routine inspections.

The remaining 100 or so are in the hands of the front-line personnel. I have gathered them together and placed them in the most important positions so that they can take action immediately if there is a change."

Ma Jun is no pushover either. He was recommended to Qingyun as a key leader by the Five Military Commandery, and was able to successfully gain a foothold and achieve results, which shows that he has strong abilities.

In addition, after more than ten years of military career, he was accustomed to life and death, and did not take the small difficulties in front of him seriously at all.

Li Zehua couldn't help knocking: "You only have 1,000 people, and they control hundreds of thousands of people. Once something changes, the reinforcements from the surrounding areas won't be able to catch up in a short time, so you better be careful.

A senior executive named Wang uncovered more than a dozen billionaires in the camp of the troops stationed in Hong Kong. These people relied on their local connections and were good at finding loopholes to pay for bail.

There are bound to be some people who are destined to be unable to escape. What if they get impatient and plan to take risks before escaping?
So we have to be on guard, and as for the rest, who knows, there might be people who are planning to take advantage of the situation.

In short, if the situation is not right, you should run to the camp in Xiangjiang and wait for the higher-ups to deal with it."

Ma Jun nodded in agreement and said, "Sir, do you want to use the CIA's secret line and transfer some more people to prepare in advance?

We have already found out who helped transport the two assassins who smuggled in from Southeast Asia, but we encountered a lot of resistance when we tried to find out who was supporting them.

The current manpower is far from enough, we need to at least double or triple it before we can give it a try."

"Don't make any big moves for now. Yanjing is watching."

Li Zehua ordered in a deep voice: "Just keep an eye on the people who have been exposed. They can go wherever they want. As long as we wait until the storm is over, we will have time to slowly clean them up."

After hanging up the phone, Li Zehua felt a little uneasy, and asked Zhang Tao, "The company shouldn't have any major events in Hong Kong recently, right?
For example, investment companies, or company executives must go to Hong Kong?"

Zhang Tao checked carefully and found that the only people who will be going to Hong Kong in the near future are Ms. Lin and Ms. Fu Yujie. They have already made plans to go there for a follow-up examination.

"Push it away!"

Li Zehua spoke without hesitation, "What a joke. If we go there now, if something happens, even if we get frightened, it will be terrible."

After thinking for a while, he said, "Ask He Li to go to the foundry and arrange for the two ladies to come to Shanghai, or to Lijiapo."

Lijiaopo is pretty good because Qingyun has a good relationship with Temasek, and the place is especially a bridgehead for Qingyun to go to the ocean. There are seven or eight hundred armed personnel dedicated to security alone.

To put it bluntly, unless Mei Jun and the Lijiaopo government take action personally, even if a movie is released in Lijiaopo, even the third brother will not be good enough.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Tao immediately went down to make arrangements.

"It's a pity that the higher-ups don't allow it, otherwise I'd like to see which one is more powerful, Dai Ying's Fungal Intelligence Bureau behind you or the Five Military Commander's Office.

What do you mean by your home court? That's obviously the home court of Dongda University!" Li Zehua wanted to solve the problem through physical means. After all, he stayed in the mainland, which is the safest place in the world. There is the most complete Skynet system near his company and home.

There is no worry at all about anyone breaking through the defense. But in Hong Kong and overseas, it’s a pity that, except for a few places like Lijiaopo, the defense is like a sieve with leaks everywhere.

“It’s a pity that Qingyun cannot penetrate the Hong Kong electronic products market. Otherwise, even if it is a special device assembled by a private person, it can be patched through the hardware driver and monitored at any time 24 hours a day.

Qingyun still lacks some foundation, and if it wants to get help from Yanjing, it has to give in temporarily.

But as long as we wait for Li Bancheng to show signs of attacking, we should have no problem launching a defensive counterattack."

No one could have imagined that Li Zehua had another trump card in his hand. Dajiang Technology brought back many veteran engineers from Ermao and made many breakthroughs in basic materials and energy-driven conversion efficiency.

At this stage, as long as the Five Military Governor's Office adopts a tacit attitude, large fixed-wing drones taking off from Pengcheng and Dongguan can monitor specific target persons at any time.

Even further, it would be fine to bring some local specialties on the wing to greet him in person, but unfortunately the higher-ups didn't allow it, so Li Zehua could only wait for a better opportunity...

"The target is basically three points in a straight line: the company, various residences in Shanghai, and the Shanghai government. Unfortunately, the mainland's control is too strict, and it is difficult to obtain the important equipment.

I asked someone to check, the Maybach he was riding in was several tons heavier than the normal model, and even the glass was specially made bulletproof. With the little guy in our hands.

Even if he just stood there and let us hit him, we couldn't hurt him, not to mention that whenever he went out, he was always accompanied by a large team of security guards, and it was impossible to get into his home or the company headquarters.

There is only one Modu Yamen left, and our people dare not even approach it."

The leader of Hong Kong Capital who was in charge of the surveillance was very depressed because he had never seen such a wealthy man who was afraid of death. He did not go to any public events, and it was rare to see him even when invited to industry summits.

Normally he doesn't have any bad habits, and he's either at home or at the company. Recently, he even has very few social engagements, so the team that was prepared to create an unexpected incident couldn't find any flaws.

In fact, this group of people didn't notice at all. They were staring at Li Zehua, and there were a bunch of people following them. In front of the high-power monitoring equipment, any plot had not yet begun.

Everything is known clearly to people, even how many people there are and what underwear they wear every day are all clearly investigated, but for the time being, no one knows who is behind it.

Therefore, the Six Gates of the Magic City and the Royal Guards, who were responsible for tracking and investigating, temporarily closed their nets.

In order to avoid alerting the enemy, even the third party that provided them with transportation was left untouched.

In short, everything is under control.

However, it is obvious that this group of people are just a smokescreen thrown by the mastermind behind the scenes. The senior executives who know the inside story know that the killer move is not in Shanghai, but in other areas.

However, QingCloud's business is spread all over the world, and it is difficult to provide comprehensive protection for all of them. For example, on the eve of the two sessions, a lot of confusing news came back from Europe, and it seemed that there was some problem in the cooperation between QingCloud and Nokia.

"It is impossible for me to go out and deal with it personally, especially at this critical time when the meeting is about to be held. It is even more impossible for me to go to Europe."

When Li Zehua heard the noise, he could almost immediately conclude that Daiying Capital was behind the scenes.

It's still the same old problem. Microsoft originally planned to take over Nokia's global mobile phone business and take the opportunity to complete full coverage of its business from computers to mobile Internet.

Speaking of which, Microsoft is also in a miserable situation. In order to avoid monopoly risks, it took the initiative to give Apple money, people and technology, fearing that the latter would go bankrupt. It never expected that Apple would rise relying on mobile Internet.

Now it has become a super technology company that can stand on equal footing with Microsoft (AMD also has to thank Intel). Microsoft’s management and investors can’t sit still and are asking the company to take the initiative to change.

It first approached Motorola, but the latter preferred to cooperate with Apple. Microsoft had to settle for the second best and approached Nokia, but Qingyun suddenly emerged.

By luring Nokia with the cost of helping it complete its transformation, and providing supporting software compatibility engineering and hardware industry chain support, Microsoft successfully brought Nokia back, which was just one step away from cooperating with Microsoft.

How could Microsoft swallow this anger for no reason? It immediately sent people to investigate and prepared to restart its merger plan with Nokia's mobile phone business.

Daiying and Xiangjiang Capital intervened in time to provide Microsoft with financial and information support. It was also Daiying Capital that made great efforts to facilitate the cooperation between the two companies.

Now, in order to deal with Qingyun, especially to crack down on its expansion in the direction of virtual currency trading platform, and to see if Li Zehua can be lured out of the country, Daiying Capital has invested a huge amount of money.

Not only did Downing Street publicly state that it was happy to see the two giants cooperate and complement each other's strengths, it also stated that as long as the headquarters of the merged business was located in the UK, it would provide tax breaks and subsidies.

It seems like they are forcing a match between them.

As for Nokia, it has been in a half-dead state in the past six months. Although Qingyun has provided channels, the global limitations and prospects cannot stop the decline.

In order to help it gain a foothold, Qingyun has spared no effort to explore new markets. For example, in Africa and South America, if there is 2.5 or 3G network coverage in urban areas, Roewe's sales network will be established.

If not, Nokia's 2G network communication equipment will be used instead. In short, in any emerging market, Roewe is copying Pinxixi's township plan, building outlets to pursue coverage and preparing for the future.

But this will take a long time to work, especially to develop an emerging market from scratch. The funds, personnel and resources required are absolutely astronomical.

Qingyun Group is certainly not afraid of continued investment, because the company is large enough and has already seen the market prospects for the next ten or even twenty years.

But Nokia can't wait. Whether its Symbian system is open source or continues to be exclusive, it must have enough consumers to maintain its market existence. Otherwise, the supporting software service providers will not be profitable and will join the Android camp.

Although Qingyun is helping with the development and improvement, it is still too slow.

Therefore, after comprehensively evaluating the pros and cons, Nokia decided to continue contacting Microsoft to see if a win-win situation could be found.

That is, Qingyun is unwilling to merge the Hongmeng system and the Symbian system for promotion in the Dongda market, and the core interest that Qingyun pursues is Nokia's huge technological accumulation.

Now Nokia has earned excess profits through cooperation with Qingyun. In the future, technology licensing and sharing cooperation will continue, including Nokia's telecommunications business in Southeast Asia in cooperation with ZTE.

It has also achieved substantial development and progress. In the future, with the help of Qingyun, it will continue to grow and develop in Southeast Asia and South America little by little. With these, Qingyun will not refuse to find other ways out for Nokia's mobile phone business.

Microsoft is a huge company with a sense of heroism. It could not help but feel proud after seeing Qingyun taking over the mobile Internet market with the help of Nokia's technology.

They kept raising their offer for Nokia, as if they were determined not to give up until they got it.

So Nokia was tempted, and in the spirit of contract, it greeted Qingyun and had substantive contact with Microsoft.

As one of the people in charge of the initial contract negotiation, Yao Xiangjun couldn't help but shake his head when he came to report: "We all underestimated the difficulty of doing supporting software engineering for a mobile phone operating system.

Currently, Apple has developed its own system and cooperates with tens of thousands of companies around the world, and Android is no less than that.

Even the Hongmeng system, which has just passed internal testing and started small-scale public beta testing, has thousands of companies and hundreds of thousands of people providing supporting software, drivers, and hardware adaptation services.

If we add supporting upgrade services for the Symbian system to the supply chain, the people below will not be able to cope with it and competitors will also complain because there is no money to be made and not enough application market to take over.

So there is no motivation, and it seems that our cooperation with Nokia has only delayed Microsoft for a year."

"It won't work, or Dai Ying is just out to cause trouble. I can't leave for the time being, and you are not allowed to go either. Let the president of Nokia come to Shanghai in person. He must come.

Since Dai Ying is so sincere, let it pay real money in advance. If it can't, the conditions offered by Microsoft will not be so attractive.

You go and prepare. I want to ask, if Nokia's Symbian system is open source, or simply merged with Hongmeng system, do you think it is possible?"

After listening to this, Yao Xiangjun was stunned for a long time before he said, "Then we must convince Nokia's investors that the European market is no longer sufficient to raise a real dragon.

In fact, they all know this, but they are unwilling to give in easily. They even asked us to give up Hongmeng and switch to Saipan, which shows how arrogant they are. "

Li Zehua nodded, "Let's deal with it as it happens. Anyway, it would be best if we can find a way to ruin it. If that doesn't work, we can't let Microsoft take advantage of it." (End of this chapter)
