Winner Takes It All, Resurrection 2009

Normally, no one would spend much effort to deal with meatless chicken ribs, but Qingyun had to survive at the time and had to find a core profit point for its express delivery and takeout same-city delivery business.

Taotao had it but didn’t know how to give it, and JD.com had not yet grown up at that time. Only the Pinxixi model could find a new way to achieve success.

From home appliances going to the countryside to group purchasing in cities, Qingyun has taken every step in advance, taking the opportunity to complete the industry layout, establish a unique industrial chain ecosystem, and expand outward with this as the core.

But the industry dividends will eventually be exhausted, and no matter what Qingyun does, it is impossible for it to compete with all internal and external opponents on its own.

Therefore, when the subsidies for home appliances in rural areas gradually come to an end, a portion of the market share in the sinking market channels will be appropriately given up to attract more like-minded people to enter the market and share the costs together.

Imperative.

Even though Ali, once the biggest rival, wanted to enter the market, Li Zehua put aside the past grudges and with a wave of his hand, he reached a preliminary agreement with Jack Ma on the spot. As for other companies, it was even easier.

As long as they meet the requirement of being an ally of Qingyun and willing to pay, the door will be opened to them...

"Thank you for your hard work, but the current situation is difficult and we have no choice but to do this. The hidden worries accumulated by the company's rapid development are gradually emerging. If we don't take the initiative to seek change, it's hard to say whether we can survive this year."

Li Zehua can certainly make the final decision on company matters, but he must take into account the core interests of his base. Only if these people firmly support him can he hold on to his position.

To prevent Sun Tongyu from being unable to change his mind.

On the way back, he deliberately asked the other party to get in the car and continued to persuade him in the car, "Before, many people, including you, advised me to think carefully about the candidate for the president of Qingyun Agriculture.

After all, from all aspects, Liang Xiaolong is not the best candidate. As a junior high school graduate, no matter how fast he grows, he cannot become a qualified helmsman in the short term.

Especially since Qingyun Agriculture is a core subsidiary with hundreds of thousands of employees, but I insisted on announcing the appointment. To be honest, you must have made up stories about me in private, right? "

Sun Tongyu didn't say anything, but muttered in his heart: "Everyone knows that Liang Xiaolong is your absolute confidant who was promoted by you. He came up to balance us professional managers and ensure your absolute control.

From Yang Zhichao, Yu Li, Guo Xinyi, Wang Fei to Liang Xiaolong, Liu Xiaobo, Zeng Haiyang, Qin Lang, these people may not be particularly talented, but they all occupy high positions because of your relationship.

Who wouldn't have an objection? Especially after Yang Zhichao was forced to leave, he still had the right to recommend. Wang Chenglin rose to the top overnight from the position of deputy director of the North China region and general manager of the Yanjing branch.

This would be impossible in any other company, but since you, the boss, have absolute control, we just have to accept it.”

The reason is simple. There are only so many positions. Moreover, the group pays very generous salaries to the management of first-tier subsidiaries, and they can receive option rewards ranging from millions to tens of millions each year.

Combined with the various investment returns from Qingyun Investment's private industrial funds, as long as you are in a high enough position and focus on doing your job well, you can earn money in a year that you cannot earn in your entire lifetime as a senior executive in an outside company.

Just imagine this level of temptation. Wouldn’t the people below be trying desperately to climb up?
For example, Sun Tongyu has a group of iron-clad management team who once came from Ali. Who is not more qualified than Wang Chenglin and Liang Xiaolong to take charge of the promotion and operation department and Qingyun Agriculture?

But the boss has spoken himself, who would dare to object?
Even asking him to make an accepting gesture today, give up the channel resources of the Pinxixi experience store, and attract more people to come in and eat meat, he couldn't figure it out.

But seeing the boss's tired face, still staring at him with encouraging eyes, and taking the initiative to explain, he felt relieved, and after a moment of silence, he took the initiative to speak:

"Boss, if you know all this, why do you still do this?

I am not against your decision, but the Pinxixi experience store has a rural channel and is the only one in the country. There is no reason for the company to give up a share to buy over its allies, especially to let Ali have a share.

I can't figure it out.

Even if the above meaning is followed, canceling subsidies for home appliances going to rural areas in April and May this year will only result in a loss of tens of billions of gross profit each year.

Based on Pinduoduo's current growth trend, it is entirely possible to achieve an increase of more than 1.5 million 3G mobile users this year, not counting the commission from total sales, but only the rewards for new customers given by Qingyun Electronics and telecom operators.

At the very least, it can grow by more than 100%, which can completely cover the loss of subsidies. The most important thing is that the growth rate of micro-payment Internet finance business is even more terrifying.

Before the end of the year, I had in-depth conversations with General Managers Lin and Yao. It will be no problem to achieve more than 300 billion in commission rewards this year, coupled with the growth of financial loan business for individuals and merchants in the industrial chain.

I am confident that with the current investment, Pinxixi's total retail scale will exceed 1.9 trillion, and we will strive to exceed 600 billion US dollars in revenue, while increasing net profit to around 2%..."

Li Zehua listened quietly and even couldn't help clapping and cheering for his overall plan and specific implementation details. When the other party gradually calmed down, he asked a question.

"Do you know Qingyun Agriculture's revenue last year?"

Sun Tongyu was puzzled. "Didn't the decision-making committee say that the annual loss was 125 billion RMB?"

As he said this, he looked at Li Zehua's reaction. If the other party was very dissatisfied, he wouldn't mind giving Liang Xiaolong a hard time. Even if he couldn't move his position, he could take the opportunity to place his own people in.

After all, the businesses of Qingyun Agriculture and Pinxixi overlap, and their advantages are highly complementary. Once the group can control these two companies, it will have absolute authority in the sinking market business in the future.

"One hundred and twenty-five hundred million RMB?"

Li Zehua smiled, and then said a number that shocked Sun Tongyu, "In fact, the number announced is not even a fraction of the actual loss.

You don't even think about it. In the past year, Qingyun Agriculture signed contracts for more than 1100 million cattle, sheep and pigs alone, and one province in the Western Region took away more than 400 billion RMB.

There are still more than 200 million tons of cotton in stock, which is more than the national reserve. In addition, more than 900 primary food processing plants, refineries, packaging and semi-processing production lines have been invested in one go.

Contracting a huge amount of arable land at home and abroad, investing in seeds and fertilizers, and renovating water conservancy facilities, and investing in this according to the total revenue announced by Qingyun Agriculture, do you think it is normal?

Lin Wenhui probably didn’t tell you that last year I established two new investment funds in the UAE and Frankfurt. Their main business areas are shorting gold and bottom fishing in shares of other high-quality listed groups.

Fortunately, I have a little talent in the financial market, so I didn’t lose money. Instead, I made a small profit of more than 60 billion US dollars, which I then transferred to the country through special channels.

Do you want to guess where the money is now?"

Sun Tongyu couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling, "No, they won't use all of it to fill the hole in Qingyun Agriculture, right?"

Li Zehua sighed and said, "Almost. I still remember the total amount now. It was 63.25 billion U.S. dollars in total. The lobbying fees transferred to designated people by me and the six branches of Yanjing totaled 7 million U.S. dollars.

All the remaining money went into Qingyun Agriculture’s secret account. In other words, the company actually lost more than 500 billion last year. Now you understand why Pinxixi’s business is progressing so smoothly.

The future seemed bright, but I turned my back on others and insisted on using core interests to win over friendly companies, even trying to bring in competitors like Ali.

Am I crazy?
No, it is the practical difficulties that force me and the company to do this!"

Sun Tongyu would not be so foolish as to ask why Qingyun Agriculture’s losses would affect Pinxixi’s plan to expand into lower-tier markets.

Because the core logic is there, in the sinking market you have to let farmers have consumption power!

How long will it take to gather enough purchasing power to consume bulk commodities by relying on farming?
Isn't it because Qingyun Agriculture insisted on investing money in rural areas, hiring rural labor, building various factories and creating jobs that millions of people have become rich first?

This group of people will consume only when they have money, and can buy smartphones, home appliances and furniture, daily consumer goods, clothing and other daily necessities.

Only with mobile smart devices can users become loyal users of QingCloud's various software companies, further improving the overall valuation and total revenue scale of QingCloud's subsidiaries.

Sun Tongyu was well aware of this, but he did not expect that the so-called boom in the sinking market actually came from the unremitting efforts of Qingyun Agriculture.

He opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

Li Zehua shook his head and said with a wry smile: "The accounts of the agricultural company are top secret. Even at the top, only a very small number of people know about it. I have personally visited the heads of various departments.

The Chinese government tried to extend the subsidy program for home appliances in rural areas for one year, but the response it received was that if the subsidy continued, the home appliance importing countries, which are stakeholders, would target the companies that enjoyed the subsidy.

If punitive tariffs are imposed, these companies will be cut off from going overseas with the group, which will have a greater impact. After weighing the pros and cons, I can only choose the lesser of two evils.

Sending Liang Xiaolong, a person who can be absolutely trusted, to take charge of the command is to prevent the news from leaking. The investment losses of the agricultural service company will be even greater this year. Where will the money come from?
The company must also consider the reaction of the younger group. The dual-city strategy will certainly receive strong support from the most powerful forces in each region, but have you considered the backlash effects it will bring?
What will those areas that are not covered think?
In addition, a certain industry will definitely introduce the most stringent policies this year, and the channels for rapid monetization of resources will be blocked. Places outside the two cities will inevitably make their own demands on the company. Will you give them to them?
If not, the investments have already been made locally and they are lambs to be slaughtered. Should the food delivery, express delivery, ride-hailing, logistics, retail, supermarkets and other electronic products markets still survive locally?
Give, but how much is appropriate?
Can you give it to me?
If they really open up to others and let them take action, even 100 billion yuan would not be enough to stop them. The group has the ability to deal with a few of them, but can it deal with thousands of them at the same time?
Think carefully about whether we should give up our core high-quality resources to others or use the resources of these large groups to endorse the strength of the group. "

As he spoke, he pressed his forehead to soothe his nerves.

Sun Tongyu understood, but his face looked a little strange, and he said aggrievedly: "Boss, for such a big thing, you could have informed me in advance, even if it was just a hint."

"You know everything, how can you fool Jack Ma and others?"

Li Zehua was amused by him and said with a smile: "You didn't see the expression of Lao Ma who took advantage of you and acted cute. It was so funny. He was afraid that you would regret it, and asked me to reassure you again and again before leaving. Your on-site reaction was perfect. You were disgusted and resisted in your heart, but you had to make a choice against your will under pressure. But your expression was a little dull. Those who know you can say that you are very cunning.

No matter how unhappy they are in their hearts, they will never quarrel in public.

People who are not in the know may think that you also tend to support the sharing of interests, which is a bad thing. I support it because it offends too many people and I need to win over allies to fight the enemy together.

You don't pose any imminent threat, but you want to take away your resources. Anyone would strongly oppose this, but now even Ahri is willing to compromise, and outsiders are starting to have wild thoughts."

"No, everyone here is a thousand-year-old fox, no one can fail to see it."

Sun Tongyu no longer felt any resentment after knowing the inside story, and looked relieved, "It's just that even I never thought that the sinking market would be so difficult to do business."

“No matter how difficult it is, we must keep doing it!”

Li Zehua thought that in the original time and space, Pinxixi decisively retreated after touching the rural market. The reason was that it suffered too much loss and it was not a one-time investment that would bring long-term rewards.

It's the kind of continuous bleeding that makes a loss every year to gain publicity. Which investor can withstand this level of bleeding?

In other words, most of Qingyun Group's shares are held by Li Zehua. If it were any other group, after figuring out the cost of sinking into the market, they would try every means to change track.

"The news ends with you, and it must not be spread any further. Go back and think carefully about how to lure these companies onto the bandwagon without letting them discover the actual situation.

Only when we are stuck in the muddy pit of the sinking market and cannot extricate ourselves, can our interests be completely tied together! "

Faced with the pit deliberately dug by the boss, a large group of people couldn't wait to jump in. Sun Tongyu laughed, and laughed happily~
So much so that a few years ago, he and his boss went to Yanjing to attend a special meeting on developing the main rural market, and saw a group of bosses of friendly companies who were eager to try without knowing the truth.

Still couldn't help but smile knowingly.

The meeting was held at the most important venue in Yanjing. It was of a very high standard. Several people from the institute attended the meeting, and leaders from the provinces and cities also participated.

Qingyun is using astonishing amounts of real money to promote large-scale changes that are beneficial to the development of sinking markets, expand domestic demand and break traditional restrictions while developing cities.

Doing our utmost to revitalize the rural economy and thus establish an internal economic circulation system that can be used for both offense and defense is a major strategy that is unanimously recognized and agreed upon by all levels.

Especially when the economy is pegged to the US dollar and a certain industry's government is about to undergo major adjustments, people of insight have already seen clearly what the future holds, and the era of apparent harmony is coming to an end.

If Dongda Capital wants to successfully expand overseas, it must have a solid internal foundation to support it.

This is also the reason why the rural development strategy has received more attention. Even the plan of building two cities together has to be put aside. The higher-ups have to take advantage of the last few days before the New Year to rush the work and blow the wind down in time.

When entering the venue, the leaders of Anhui Province took the time to talk to Li Zehua for a while. After fully exchanging views, they left satisfied. The other leaders who were slow to act decided not to let him get away after the meeting.

For example, Anhui Province actually prefers the dual-city strategy of Feicheng in the north and Anqing in the south. After all, large-scale industry and strong manufacturing industries require large investments and produce quick results, and their driving effect on the surrounding economy is more obvious.

However, once tens of millions of rural laborers become wealthy, they can also play a vital role in supporting the large-scale industrial consumer market. The two complement each other and are indispensable.

Since Qingyun is willing to cooperate with Difang Group to make large-scale investments and has also attracted hundreds of large groups to work together for it, everyone here will be happy to accept it and give it a hand.

During the meeting, Li Zehua sat next to Sun Tongyu, who was the speaker of the corporate representative development plan. But no one knew what happy thing this guy was thinking about. He couldn't stop laughing after entering the room and listening to the speeches.

Even the waiter who poured him some water was surprised. His smile came completely from the heart, and not in a formulaic way like the others. Especially when he looked at her, he smiled even more happily.

She subconsciously lifted her hair, thinking that there was something wrong with her appearance.

This made Li Zehua take a few more glances at it. He had to admit that guanyao's product quality was indeed very high and pleasing to the eye.

The poor girl was almost frightened to death. Who are the people present? Just one word can send her from heaven to hell in an instant. She didn't want to be vetoed because of her image.

But the more he thought about it, the more confused he became, and his hand movements were inevitably affected. When he was pouring tea for Li, he almost panicked and poured the hot water outside the cup. Fortunately, he calmly moved the cup an inch, so nothing happened.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

The young girl suppressed her panic and fear, poured out all the water in the kettle, and left quickly with a stern face, muttering in a low voice, "It's over, it's over! Don't let the supervisor see us, or we'll be dead."

But as she feared, she got what she wanted. As soon as she came out of the side door, her supervisor stopped her and said, "Wait a moment."

The little girl turned around with difficulty, revealing a smile that was uglier than crying, "Ah?"

Unexpectedly, the supervisor did not mention her mistake at all. Instead, he asked something else: "Xiao Ling, I remember you signed a contract to come to the office, right?"

The young girl tried hard to hold back the tears that were about to burst out of her eyes. She nodded stiffly, with only one thought in her mind: "It's over. I can't keep my job anymore."

If any disturbance occurs in the ultra-high-standard conference venue where city leaders can only sit in the first row below, serious action will be taken internally, even if the participants do not mention it.

What's more, he is such a big shot. Even if he doesn't say it, who can remedy it if he has some doubts in his heart?

The young girl would rather have her salary and performance deducted than lose this respectable job. However, she knew very well that for a small person like herself with no background, the only option left was to be fired.

I'm afraid we won't have a good New Year.

Just as she was lost in her thoughts, her supervisor was suddenly called away. She luckily escaped, but could not escape the ostracism and ridicule from other equally sharp-eyed service staff.

"You are stupid now, aren't you? You usually think you are so noble, relying on your good looks to ignore this and that, but when you see a young, wealthy and rich man, your true colors show up."

"That's right, it almost caused a big trouble. This time it caused everyone to have their performance deducted, and they might even be held accountable."

Facing accusations from all sides, the little girl weakly defended herself, "No, I'm not~"

"It's nothing. You are."

"What is it?"

Just when everyone was getting angry and preparing to go further, a powerful and majestic voice came over. Everyone turned around and was almost scared to death.

The person who came was the deputy director of the administrative department. He showed up in person, and it seemed that the problem was very serious. If things went wrong, everyone would be in trouble.

"Look at the trouble you caused."

The crowd didn't dare to stay and had to leave angrily, leaving the uneasy little girl to face the pressure from the big boss.

Little did he know that the deputy director did not mention this at all. Instead, he asked directly, "Do you know Chairman Li?"

"what?"

"It's not convenient to say, it's okay, everyone has a few acquaintances, but why didn't you say it earlier? You could have just said it openly if you had this relationship."

The deputy director was all smiles, and then he made a decision that the little girl had always dreamed of, "You have been in the Affairs Bureau for more than two years, and in view of your consistent outstanding performance...

After careful consideration, I have decided to approve your application for regularization. You haven't joined x yet, right? Go back and submit it to your supervisor according to the process, and I will personally approve it!"

The little girl didn't know yet that her superiors were already preparing to include her in the key reserve training list, not for any other reason, but just because Mr. Li's administrative assistant came out and mentioned it casually just now.

It is impossible for such a big boss to do anything without a purpose. Besides, more than one person saw it. Not only Mr. Li, but also Mr. Sun next to him showed special concern for the little girl.

I don’t know him, I’m not familiar with him, so why ask the assistant to come out and talk to him alone?
The little girl felt dizzy and had no idea what was going on.

Li Zehua didn't expect that he just thought the girl was cute, and because Sun Tongyu was laughing from beginning to end, he caused others to make mistakes at work.

He means well, but he can't stop others from thinking the same way!
Even if we take a step back and say that Mr. Li and her really don't know each other, so what?
Just looking at each other a few more times is fate, and you deserve to be taken care of!
Director Li is treated like a treasure by his superiors, and he will come to Yanjing for meetings more often in the future. What if one day they recall and ask, "Well, they said he was fired?" Isn't that nonsense?

Shiji Guan has a big family and a lot of money, so it doesn't matter if he is given a position to eat. After all, it doesn't matter who he is given. (End of this chapter)
