Winner Takes It All, Resurrection 2009

Chapter 604: Shooting Yourself in the Foot

"This incident has dealt a heavy blow to President Liang. You are such a rude boy. How can we expect him to go one step further? We knew you were up to something big, but we never thought it would be this big!"

Ye Kaiming couldn't help complaining as soon as they met, and Li Zehua quickly shifted the blame, "Blame me, it's your own fault for not planning carefully. I said it yesterday, it's too late to move Hengtai.

Now that Brother Dai has fallen from such a high place, it's all over. Everything can be blamed on him. Mr. Gui behind the scenes can just spend a few years in prison, and when he comes out, won't he continue to live a carefree life? "

"Are you talking about the same thing? Who cares whether Mr. Gui can get in or not? The key is his position and the current time point. One move will affect the entire body, understand?
If you remove his chief of staff, can he still move up?
Our family went along with the flow and helped out so much. We finally caught up with the timing and wanted to give it a push, but you interrupted us and all our plans went to waste. No matter how big the loss is, you will compensate for it."

Ye Kaiming was almost angry to death. He really didn't expect that the Qingyun Group would be so ruthless. On the surface, they were targeting Hengtai, but in fact they were going for the investors behind it. They either did nothing, or if they did, it would be as powerful as thunder.

Be merciless!

Why was he willing to sacrifice his personal connections and insist on obtaining the controlling stake of Hengtai from Qingyun?

Making money was secondary. The key was to stabilize the situation afterwards and avoid being taken advantage of. He never expected that before the external threats came into play, his internal allies stabbed him in the back.

"Compensation is bullshit! I'm helping you guys. I won't ask for any benefits from you. Just be happy."

Li Zehua ignored Ye Kaiming's murderous look and sneered, "You have always been straightforward in your overall layout in East Guangdong, as if you were afraid that others would not see it, but is this how the rules of the game are played?

In the past, it could be said that the overall strength of Teochew porridge was strong, and you had no way to break the situation cleverly, and could only work miracles with great force. But now, the Heung Kong Real Estate and Financial Group has been uprooted, and Runhua is an ally.

With the help of Qingyun outside, the Nandian Energy Department is making great strides abroad. It has hydropower in Malaya, thermal power in Siam, and mineral resources from all over the country.

In less than two or three years, if the micropayment harvesting plan is well coordinated in Southeast Asia, Nanfang Dian Power will at least become a basic hydropower service provider for many countries. This is an eternal family business.

As the saying goes, those who do not plan for the overall situation are not qualified to plan for a specific area. Once the foundation is solid, the means of doing things must change accordingly. If you always want to eat alone and do not pay attention to the manners of eating, who will be friends with you for a long time?"

At this point, Li Zehua pointed at Qin Xiangli who was watching the joke and said, "Old Qin is here too, let him judge for you, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai~"

Halfway through his words, Li suddenly thought that this group of people's eating habits seemed even uglier, so he stopped talking.

Qin Xiangli understood immediately after seeing his expression, and said depressedly: "In the past, it was a wild era, and people didn't have any manners, but now it's completely different, everyone is polite and abides by the rules."

He doesn't want to be labeled as an unprincipled person. After all, the domestic and foreign environments are different, and many things can be done casually behind closed doors.

But once we go out and become a guiding light for the economic development of various countries, we must have a set of rules of the game that all parties can agree on and abide by.

Only after he understood this, he would actively seek change, and at the same time persuade Ye to be open-minded, "Things are different now, we even got the control of HSBC (only in the Pacific West Coast region).

There is still a long way to go, why break the rules for such a trivial matter? It's just that the layout of Guangzhou cannot be realized, so find him another suitable location.

For example, the Nanhai Development Zone can go a step further and become a core industrial development zone in the country. With Mr. Li’s Southern Semiconductor Production Plan, it will be an industrial base worth hundreds of billions of yuan after completion.

If what he said is true, and the global market demand for semiconductor chips (computing power) is hundreds or thousands of times higher than it is now, then investment will be even more indispensable in the future.

Whoever sits in this position will be able to enjoy the greatest resource bonus. While we are still in a bad mood with President Ning, let's sit down and talk it out so that we can share the profits of this big pie in the future."

Qin Xiangli, who has almost completely regained the initiative in Runhua and successfully put Lin Manhe on the spot, now speaks with confidence.

That’s right. In the past, we were standing at a different height and looking at things from a different angle. Now that the Xiangjiang Real Estate Group that was blocking the road has been moved away, the view has suddenly become clear and everyone is no longer staring at the small piece of land in front of them.

This is what Li Zehua is pursuing. There are many contradictions when it comes to eating the existing stock, because limited resources cannot satisfy unlimited appetite. Only by moving forward unswervingly and optimizing the distribution model in the process can more people benefit.

Ye Kaiming nodded silently and looked at Li who looked indifferent. He was angry but did not dare to vent his anger easily, because Qingyun Group and Temasek Holdings still held the lifeline of Nandian's southward channel.

If you lose your temper rashly and become hostile to others, they will retaliate and both sides will suffer.

So he settled for the next best thing and said, "Boss Liang can only move up, he must at least get a position as the executive vice president of a branch company, and also serve as the director of this new region."

"Take it, no, what are you looking at me doing?"

Li Zehua was confused, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, "You don't think I have this ability, do you? Stop joking."

Qin Xiangli smiled but said nothing. Ye Kaiming said unhappily, "It was with your support that Lao Zhang secured his position as the general manager of the subsidiary. Don't think I don't know, and don't treat you as fools.

Who can't see that Qingyun is making plans in eastern Guangdong? You personally accompanied him to meet Mr. Wang today. The channel was introduced by Mr. Yu, right?
So stop being so pretentious. We've already informed Mr. Wang, so it won't be a big problem. You can handle Mr. Ning's case. It's better for him to be in Yangcheng than to let outsiders take over."

Li Zehua expressed doubt, "Can you guarantee that there won't be any more trouble later?"

"I promise you my life, okay?"

Ye Kaiming broke through his defense and almost pointed at his nose and cursed: "You have even overturned the foundation of a certain industry. It is useless for me to hold Hengtai. It was originally to prevent outsiders from taking it away and making a fuss.

Now that the article has been published, who would still treasure it? Don’t think I don’t know what you are thinking. It’s just that I’ve gotten on your pirate ship and can’t get off. Otherwise, I have to~”

"Don't argue, this is settled. Mr. Li, we are all family. There is no need to quarrel and make fun of others for such a small matter."

Qin Xiangli hurried to smooth things over. He didn't dare to allow the two families to completely tear each other apart and fight. This would not benefit anyone, especially since the Qin family wanted to get involved in Zhongxin and take the opportunity to become the leader of capital in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Modou Qingyun and Yuedong Guoye Group are both his biggest external supporters. Without the support of either of them, the plan will not be successful.

Fortunately, Ye Kaiming did not continue to hold on to the matter. After discussing some details with Li Zehua, everyone shifted the topic to the car accident that happened in the north.

Qin Xiangli sighed: "The world is going to change."

"This is eastern Guangdong, where it's hot and rainy all year round. It's not cold, but someone needs to wear more clothes to keep warm, otherwise the long winter will be hard to endure."

Ye Kaiming seized the opportunity and said sarcastically: "Hengtai collapsed, the fake medicine stopped making Leshi half dead, the money bag that people worked so hard to build up was punctured, and now a direct descendant has been lost.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like he will give up easily, hehe."

"Haha, bullshit. It's nothing more than a matter of fighting back. If he is willing to die, I dare to bury him."

Li Zehua was not worried about this. Now that Qingyun's power was already established, it could be easily dealt with by just a word from someone. It would be polite of him not to cause trouble for the other party.

Going back to the Magic City is just a matter of taking steps to deal with the situation and avoid a disaster.

"You should think more about yourself. If you have unclear relations with Goldman Sachs, you might end up on the list in your notebook in the future."

"What's wrong? I'm not the only one cooperating with foreign capital. Besides, there are couples who have conflicts and divorce and break up. At worst, I can find an opportunity to break up in two years."

Ye Kaiming looked indifferent. He was more keen on laughing at Qingyun and venting the anger of the investors behind Hengtai.

Li Zehua was even less afraid. "Then why did you call me? Are you bored and have nothing to do? And you better pay attention to the Yike matter. I heard that Mr. Wang is very dissatisfied. Can't you be more tactful? Do you have to make things so awkward?"

If you want to see myself in a state of excitement, that's impossible. Mr. Li believes in settling grudges and will fight back on the spot if there is a grudge.

Ye Kaiming was speechless, and Qin Xiangli said awkwardly: "It's not our fault. It's mainly because Wang Shi is a stubborn person who occupies the position without giving face to anyone. I wanted to give him a stable retirement package.

Now I see, I have saved all my retirement money.”

"Look at him, he looks like he's desperate for money. Be careful not to scare the passing children to tears."

Li Zehua was helpless. The originally planned thing was messed up by this group of people. Although the goal was achieved, the happy environment was also destroyed.

Of course, Wang Shi and Yike could not withstand the simultaneous attacks from Runhua and Qingyun. Under the absolute advantage, the board of directors was directly reorganized, Wang Shi lost the chairmanship, and the management was forced to undergo a major reshuffle.

However, the process was not so smooth. The quarrel between the two sides almost turned the scene into a battlefield. Fortunately, Mr. Wang from Pengcheng personally sent people to the scene to take charge, and after much persuasion, a series of resolutions were passed.

Afterwards, Mr. Wang also called to communicate, saying that the two companies were a bit too much and were relying on their connections to act recklessly. He also said that he was not optimistic about Yike's future and that the original cooperation model might need to be changed.

To put it bluntly, they are simply afraid that after Runhua obtains the operating rights, it will treat Yike as a cash bag. After all, policies targeting certain industries have not yet been introduced.

Runhua has financial support from the Qingyun Group and the newly acquired HSBC. If it insists on getting on the last train before the policy is introduced, who can stop it?
Don't doubt it, judging by these guys' traditional skills, they can definitely do it!

Li Zehua took the opportunity to criticize for a while before turning to the main topic, talking about the subsequent impact of the car accident. He said that Qingyun Investment deliberately bypassed Guijin in order to avoid trouble in the future.

Now that he is involved in this matter again, the unavoidable troubles have come to him. He says he is not afraid, but he is also worried about being entangled for the whole year to come. Even if he is held back and affects the overall strategy, he cannot accept it.

"It's simple. You support me in seizing control of several core departments of Zhongxin. As long as this company comes over, foreign capital will lose its channel for delivery of power, and the rest will be easy."

Qin Xiangli took the opportunity to propose his own plan, but Li Zehua rejected it without even thinking about it. "It's too late. The higher-ups have already reached a consensus and plan to resolve some of the hidden dangers in March.

I can help you seize Zhongxin's controlling stake, but distant water cannot quench immediate thirst in a short period of time. Can you guarantee that Qingyun can successfully introduce advanced foreign equipment and technology?"

At this point, he showed a helpless look on his face, "The economic foundation determines the upper layer of the building. Zhongxin has been dealing with foreign capital for many years, and it is impossible to gain trust without making necessary compromises.

Although we often forget our positions, it does create opportunities for us to break through. For example, this negotiation involves many sensitive technology transfers. Without Zhongxin’s mediation, it would not be so easy to succeed. ”

"Come on, a complete set of 10.5-inch panels overseas costs just over 60 billion US dollars, and I'll sell it to you at a 35% markup.

And there is that 12-inch production line that makes chips. One set costs 470 billion RMB, right? If you double it, it would be almost 700 billion, right?
With this level of profit, who wouldn’t be tempted? "

Ye Kaiming was filled with envy and jealousy. It turned out that transferring high-tech equipment was so profitable. How much electricity Nandian had to export and how much tap water it had to sell to make that profit?
"And the outdated lithography machine project, the basic patent transfer fee alone must have been $5000 million in brokerage fees, right? Why wasn't my referral fee included?"

"I'll transfer it to you. Really, you're still haggling over 15 million RMB."

Li Zehua was not in a good mood when asked to pay, but he soon said proudly, "It is a hard truth to spend money where it counts. It doesn't matter if the equipment is a little expensive, the key is the transfer of the basic patent.

We can let the company do reverse research and development, and strive to use a few years to build our own cutting-edge equipment research and development system based on the existing foundation. This is a competitive advantage that cannot be bought with any amount of money.”

"In the final analysis, it is still too weak. Now everyone is calling for industrial upgrading, but aren't people still using old technology and old equipment?"

Qin Xiangli has a deep understanding of this. "It's not so bad in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. There are many foreign-funded enterprises, and they have high requirements for supporting industrial chain factories. After tasting the sweetness, these people passively update their technology and equipment."

As he said this, he did not forget to look down on Ye Kaiming, "The situation in eastern Guangdong is simply horrible. You know, I came back from Hong Kong a few days ago and took a trip to Dongguan.

Oh my, it's so shameful that some factories are still using obsolete equipment from the 1980s. What's this called technology?
Let me tell you a joke. There was a small factory that produced soap. Due to their outdated machinery and equipment, there were always some empty boxes after each batch of products. When they were sent to customers, they received complaints. The factory had no choice but to change the situation.

At the beginning, people were sent to the assembly line to pick up each product and weigh it. If it was too light, they would take it out. Later, someone with an idea came up with an idea to simply use a high-power electric fan to blow towards the product.

The empty shells were naturally blown away.

But with just such a production line, one can earn 20,000 yuan a day. A small factory with only a few hundred people can make a gross profit of over one million yuan a month by starting production.

In this case, it is impossible to ask him to actively upgrade equipment and introduce new technologies to expand business, even if the market dividends are expanding!
Because he only needs to simply repeat construction, buy second-hand equipment, and hire more cheap employees to fully meet production needs. The key is that the investment is small and the risk is low.

Once the market changes, the worst that can happen is that the second-hand equipment can be sold at a loss, or OEM products can be made for large manufacturers. If the business is not good, we can just hire temporary workers, and then fire the company.

It wouldn't matter if there was only one company like this, but the market in eastern Guangdong is flooded with these small-scale factories with no technological content. Can they really be of any use to the country?

Apart from solving low-end employment, simply pursuing scale is useless.

If this can solve the problem of economic development and gain competitive advantage, then why do we work so hard to introduce technology and upgrade the industry?
Wouldn't it be better to just issue an order to build hundreds of thousands or millions of such factories across the country, employing purely manual labor, and relying on local remedies when encountering problems that cannot be solved?

Mr. Li is still a long-term person. He does not care about the gains and losses of the moment. He will take advantage of the technology as long as there is an opportunity, no matter how expensive it is. Only by insisting on innovation and technological leadership, we will have a voice in the world..."

"The situation is good, but there are many problems. The next step is probably to clean up these outdated production capacities."

Li Zehua sighed and continued, "From a national perspective, employment and taxation are certainly important, but if a virtuous cycle is not formed to promote technological development, we will end up like England and Gaul.

Britain has enough overseas markets. Because of the federal trade most-favorable system, products from other industrialized countries cannot enter. Therefore, Britain's domestic industrial system can make money without doing anything, and there is no motivation to innovate technology and equipment at all.

Gaul is even more bizarre, embarking on a national bourgeois route, completely abandoning the real economy and relying on financial means to make money. It is no wonder that the up-and-coming Hans was able to overtake others.

The same logic applies today. Europe and the United States have started a wave of de-industrialization and globalization. If we still follow the old ways to match them, we will only become a stepping stone for others.

Only by making up our minds to take tough measures against low-end duplicate construction and forcing the remaining people to charge forward and fight their way out, can the entire country have a future.

I'm afraid there will be a lot of bargaining in this area in the next two years. I think environmental protection is a good name..."

He spoke without worrying about saying anything wrong, because no matter what the underlying logic of the future development of things was, it was the general trend.

Whether it is the original time and space, in the name of carbon neutrality, the cleanup of backward production capacity is moving forward in accordance with this basic line. Even if there are some deviations in the implementation process, it is not a big deal. To put it bluntly, it is to urge the people below not to rest on their laurels.

"Otherwise I would say this guy is poisonous. He always steps on the critical juncture. I used to think you were someone's white glove, or at least someone with the guidance of an expert behind you. Now it seems that this is not the case at all."

Ye Kaiming and Qin Xiangli looked at each other and saw astonishment and admiration in each other's eyes. At this age, they were not afraid of their opponents at all.

Ye Kaiming sighed, "If I hadn't communicated with you face to face, I might not have believed it if someone told me. You are such a monster!"

"If my son was half as good as you..."

"Go away, don't take advantage, let's talk about our own affairs." (End of this chapter)
