Winner Takes It All, Resurrection 2009

"Brother Chao, congratulations on getting rich~!"

Early in the morning, Li Zehua, who received the news, called Yang Zhichao.

The latter complained repeatedly, "Boss, you are too well-informed. This is totally untrue. Please don't believe in the slander."

Li Zehua chuckled, "I don't care. Anyway, whoever sees the ill-gotten gains will get a share. Hurry up and give me a big red envelope as hush money, otherwise I will make a fuss about it.

If you just give me a share honestly, I'll lose at most half of it. If other people hear the noise, they might end up paying for everything and have to set up two tables for guests. Why bother?"

If the Federal Savings Bank and BlackRock approached Yang Zhichao, it would be the worst bad luck for them!
No matter who betrays, Lao Yang will not betray. He has nothing better to do than to eat and has option shares worth billions of dollars in the future.

What's the point of jumping over it?

If you want to blame someone, blame Qingyun Investment Industrial Fund, which is not a listed group and does not need to disclose specific operating data and shareholder information to the public, and a large group of senior executives hold shares in the industrial fund.

Not only are outsiders unclear, even executives themselves don't know exactly how much each person has.

The only thing we know clearly at the moment is that Wang Xing owns at least $1.5 million worth of shares in Pinxixi. Others hold more or less tens of millions of dollars, and the rest are just guesses.

Even Lin Wenhui and Yao Xiangjun may not know which shares are held on behalf of the company and which ones truly belong to the executives themselves. Unless the two people compare the information they hold one by one in person, it is impossible to figure out the surface shareholding information.

Those stock grant agreements signed by the boss himself are secretly kept in the underground vault of the group headquarters, and no one can easily see them.

In reality, friendship may not last long, but who doesn’t like green US dollars?

Yang Zhichao didn't even hesitate for a second before reporting everything in advance. What could Li Zehua do?
Of course, we will go with the flow and get as much as we can, and see if it is possible to drag the opponent into the water and become Qingyun's hidden pawn. Those invisible shareholders of the Federal Reserve behind the scenes cannot be won over.

But can a professional manager like Greg, who runs errands at the front desk, resist the temptation of tens of millions of dollars?

Thinking of this, he said, "Come over first to discuss the follow-up and see if we can play the long game and catch a bigger fish."

"You can't even put down the bait, and you're still fishing. You're just going to be an air force soldier in this life."

Yang Zhichao cursed and said nothing nice, "I am the acting president of Qingyun Global Business Group after all, how can I be so shameless?

It’s worth five million dollars in one shot?

Who are you looking down on? I heard that you gave tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars to House, the head of Goldman Sachs' Hong Kong office. It doesn't make sense that I should be cheaper than him, right?"

“Who knows? Maybe in other people’s eyes, developing economies are not worth mentioning.”

Li Zehua laughed until he saw Yang Zhichao in person. He remembered that he had approved 80 million Hong Kong dollars and tens of millions of US dollars for special expenses to House, but the other party was only willing to pay 5 million US dollars as the first installment in order to bribe Lao Yang.

He just couldn't stop laughing.

"What the hell are you laughing at? Am I so worthless? I feel so frustrated."

Yang Zhichao came up with a fierce look on his face and went straight to his drawer, snatching a whole box of cigars worth $6. Not satisfied yet, he also took two bottles of good wine from the decorative cabinet before giving up.

"Here, bearer bonds issued by UBS, promissory notes for $5 million payable on paper. You're talking as if no one has ever seen money before."

Yang Zhichao sat down and began to trouble Li, who was usually reluctant to put in much tea. The latter didn't care at all, flicked the promissory note, and said with a smile: "Make it as you like.

This amount of money is enough to buy ten kilograms of tea. Just treat it as your deposit. You are welcome to drink it anytime you want."

Yang Zhichao had no idea what politeness meant, so he said, "You said it, pack me two kilograms and bring it back to Lijiapo later."

"Come on, the real fun can't be bought even if you have money."

Li Zehua packed the promissory note and said, "Send someone to pick it up first. Don't forget to visit General Manager Lin before you leave. I have prepared 500 Bitcoin gold coins for you. Consider it your bonus."

"Then I really want to thank you. Youyou must be so happy to see this."

Yang Zhichao was flattered. Although the price of gold has fallen a lot, one Bitcoin gold coin weighs 50 grams, which is at least 500 RMB. Bitcoins alone are worth less than million RMB.

The most important thing is the QR code and key engraved on it. One gold coin represents one bit currency (only for the latest released bitcoin gold coins. After the key address is used and transferred, the gold coin will only have the value of the precious metal itself).

At present, because of the cooperation with traditional American groups, the forces behind both parties control more than 95% of the world's Bitcoin currency (already discovered). After two or three years of advocacy and empowerment.

As a result of the left-hand and right-hand transactions to raise the price, and the establishment of stable cooperation with the underground team, the unit price of Bitcoin has stabilized at US$7500 per coin (with fluctuations) to date.

500 Bitcoin gold coins are worth more than 375 million US dollars, plus the value of the gold coins themselves is more than 500 million US dollars. It can be seen that Li is really generous to the people around him, and it is definitely not just a verbal promise.

"We will notify you when the check arrives safely. Just cooperate with us a little bit, such as making some revenge purchases, buying high-value goods, and letting the other party see it."

While Li Zehua was speaking, he also expressed his own thoughts, "You are usually too low-key, each of you has tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars in investment income, but I have never seen anyone spend money lavishly.

Those who know would say that you are reluctant to give up the high future profits, while those who don’t know would think that the group is stingy and is reluctant to give out even salary and bonuses.”

"Really? No wonder they are so stingy. Do they think that five million dollars can satisfy a country bumpkin like me who has never seen the world?"

Yang Zhichao was aggrieved, "But can we be blamed for this? The industrial fund that Yao Xiangjun is in charge of is in dire need of both mortgage and financing. Our daily food, clothing, housing and transportation are all paid for by the company.

There is not even a place to spend the money. The saved salary and bonuses are either invested in real estate companies to buy houses, or invested in industrial funds for appreciation. With an annual net investment profit of more than 150%, who would be willing to take the money out to spend?

(It is mainly based on company valuation, and all profits are book profits before they are realized on the stock market.)”

"Then you can blame me. It's strange to say, I can understand if you don't spend money, but look at Wang Xing, he has completely achieved financial freedom after the company went public, but I heard that he spent 2500 million to buy a supercar from Wang Sicong.

Apart from that, I haven't heard that he has purchased any other properties. Where is his money?"

Li Zehua was very confused because when Pinduoduo went public, in addition to granting stocks that were temporarily not allowed to be listed for public trading, the Pinduoduo Local Smart Life Group also rewarded senior executives with a one-time cash bonus ranging from hundreds of thousands to tens of millions.

Wang Xinggui is the chairman and president, but there is no sign of him spending any money lavishly. Could it be that all his subordinates are hamsters who like to invest their money instead of spending it?
Yang Zhichao pursed his lips, "The company wants to cover all the underwear, RV security assistants, and other miscellaneous expenses. Where can I spend the money?"

Li Zehua was curious, "House prices have increased quite a bit, don't you have any plans to buy a property in Hong Kong or Lijiapo?"

"Isn't it possible to buy low-price quotation from real estate companies? It's more cost-effective to wait two years and buy it at 50% off. Who would be so stupid as to go to the open market to buy it?"

After Yang Zhichao finished speaking, he leaned over and whispered, "Why do I feel that this thing you asked me to do is a little unreliable? You said that if they can bribe me, they may not be able to bribe others.

You have to be careful and don't let anyone trick you."

He was so eager to give his heart out, just because the secret will listed him as the first successor of the company, plus the huge wealth he had obtained from the company over the years, Yang Zhichao's future interests and personal ambitions were completely tied to the company.

No one should dare to make him betray.

"Don't worry, I think there will be absolutely no problem with dividing the cake!"

Li Zehua is very confident about this. "We are all adults and know how to analyze and weigh the pros and cons. Even if someone really offers 10 or 800 million, so what? As long as the group's business cannot be moved away, it will still be in Dongda.

Any successor must give priority to Yanjing's attitude. Moreover, I am surrounded by tight security, and it is difficult to get a taste of the outside world. It is difficult for them to find an opportunity to make a move.

The reason we arranged for you to perform on stage this time is also to use extraordinary means to reduce the pressure that the other party has put on the company head-on. How can we get hold of their fatal handle without revealing any flaws?
For example, this busy Greg, although he is a professional manager, he used to be a senior executive in Traveler, Citi and Merrill Lynch, and he knows a lot of people behind the scenes.

If we can pull him over, and then take the opportunity to infiltrate Guohuishan (homonym), and develop a spokesperson who secretly represents the interests of the group, many things that are inconvenient to do in the future will have someone to do it for us. "

Li Zehua has sent people to find out that BlackRock has lost more than 10 billion US dollars in Hong Kong, and the indirect losses are incalculable. However, this is only on the surface. In fact, those losses were earned by Wall Street investment banks such as Goldman Sachs.

It's nothing more than the usual left-right trick of putting everyone's money into the pockets of a very small number of people, and Qingyun has to bear the blame, what a shame!

"In the final analysis, I am still not as skilled as others at the moment, so I can only find another way to solve the problem." He sighed, and then arranged a specific implementation framework for Yang Zhichao, "You can handle the details yourself, I won't ask, I believe you can handle it with your ability.

In a word, they will try every means to drag more people into the water. After obtaining the key evidence, the group will find someone to make them realize their mistakes. With the fatal handle in hand and the support of money, the group will also send someone to help them realize their mistakes.

I believe that the vast majority of people will make the right choice. Once a major loophole appears in the execution level, many things that were previously difficult to solve will become possible.”

Li Zehua does not expect the execution level to shake the capital foundation of Yutai, because no one is a fool. It's like when he gives an order and the people below disobey it in private, then he can just replace them.

What the group pursues is the advantage brought by one-way transparency of information. No matter how powerful the capital of Squid is, how many resources it controls, or how ingenious its plans are, it still has to send people to carry them out.

If all these people can be influenced, all that is needed is information sharing. Qingyun Group can even take the initiative to give up some resources and let the other party use it as a success to go further.

You only need to play a decisive role at least once at a critical moment, such as interrupting the opponent's overall layout, delaying the opponent's grand strategic execution, and delaying the most critical time for your side.

Then they can turn defeat into victory and expand their gains, completely drive out Squid Capital from a certain industry at one time, or completely establish a winning position for the group. The profits brought by this will far exceed the cost of winning over during the acquisition process.

Isn't money used to transform into influence?

After arranging the layout for Yang Zhichao to meet with the other party.

Li Zehua immediately stood up and headed for Runhua Hong Kong headquarters, where Qin Xiangli had been waiting for him for a long time.

"Old Qin, are you really planning to personally take charge of Runhua?"

Seeing that he has been staying in Hong Kong recently and has been very active, Li Zehua joked.

Unexpectedly, he was right. Qin Xiangli said without hesitation: "Why not?"

Li Zehua was puzzled, "Are you serious?"

"Thanks to you, if you hadn't come to me to discuss the plan for building the supply chain for the consumer goods market, I might not have made up my mind."

Qin Xiangli's face was more serious than ever before. "But after talking to you, I realized that money is something that we can't even spend in our lifetime.

If you want to leave your name in the new glorious chapter, you must step out from behind the scenes. If I am in charge, Runhua will become a company that exceeds the level of Walmart and Coca-Cola.

Tell me, will I be able to do it in the future?

As he said this, he pointed towards the ceiling.

Li Zehua was silent for a long time before he spoke: "I really didn't expect that an industrial chain advantage could enable you to make such a major change. Of course, I must congratulate you personally here.

Because Qingyun has used real experience to verify the core competitiveness of the industrial chain after integrating resources. In this world, the most stable relationship is qiong.

Because there is no choice, they can only use the least money to get the simplest happiness, so Coca-Cola's Fat House Quick Le Water can be sold all over the world, and even there is no decent competitor in a hundred years..."

He said a lot in one breath. If the industrial chain and supply chain system are done well, there are only a few points to consider: saving costs, enabling rapid development, and increasing the ability to resist risks or almost eliminating risks.

Because the closer you are to the upstream of the industry, the safer you are.

For example, selling food, water, air, sunlight, electricity, and oil. Although these industries have meager profits, you will magically find that as long as the management does not mess around.

It is very difficult to make a loss.

Moreover, the larger and more stable the scale, the more concentrated the market share will be. In the end, you will find that there is not even a decent competitor.

For example, the now popular Chizumai takeout and Fengniao delivery, any giant who wants to take a peek in this industry will leave without looking back as long as they conduct serious market research.

Because no one can beat Qingyun.

The secret lies in the most basic service. Nowadays, 60 to 70 percent of customers purchase almost all raw materials in the Qingyun Cover distribution system.

From pots and pans to condiments for cooking, vegetables and meat, and even the recruitment of chefs and waiters, decoration style and location selection, you can enjoy one-stop service in Qingyun.

Qingyun Real Estate arranges street-facing shops, Fengniao Crowdsourcing provides service team recruitment, Chizuome Takeaway Service provides meal preparation services, Fengniao Delivery provides all raw materials, and WeChat Technology provides traffic.

Weifuzhi provides payment methods, Qingyun Electronic Technology Group provides mobile smart devices, and even the deliverymen’s transportation is provided by supply chain service provider BYD Co., Ltd.

If consumers are short of money, they can borrow a small amount of money temporarily for 30 days with no interest through micropayment. If merchants want to expand their business or open branches, Minsheng Finance and micropayment provide online services 24 hours a day.

Merchants do not need to actively provide information, they only need to authorize, and the Qingyun system can immediately give a comprehensive assessment, and then use the current store operating conditions as collateral, and the corresponding funds will be credited immediately.

That's it, how to play?
If you want to compete with Qingyun, you have to build an industrial chain ecosystem from scratch to compete with it. Otherwise, even if you invest hundreds of billions, the losses will not be enough.

Why?

Because after the fight breaks out, Qingyun has ten thousand ways to control the merchants, and can even provide a zero-fee takeout delivery service while still guaranteeing that it will not suffer losses (profits from related businesses will fill the gap).

How can we argue about this?
Countless giants who tried to get a piece of the pie disbanded their food delivery preparation teams after the investigation and never mentioned entering the food delivery industry again.

Because he was scared, Qingyun has already built the industrial chain to the fields, started to contract large tracts of land to grow vegetables, and started to sign large-scale purchase agreements with breeders.

Starting from the source of breeding, raising seedlings, participating in the production and construction stages of pesticides, fertilizers, and seeds, are you risking your life?!

You spend your own money to purchase from the market, and you don't know how many middlemen are trying to make money in the middle. Qingyun directly produces and sends it to the processing plant for screening. The next stop is the distribution point, and then it is delivered to the customers.

Just the raw materials alone can beat countless peers. Add to that a package of solutions, and the same restaurant can generate a retail sales of 100,000 by cooperating with Qingyun.

The cost difference between purchasing and opening a store independently is more than 20%, which means that many catering outlets cannot do without Qingyun Group if they want to grow bigger and stronger and earn excess profits.

Any big capital that wants to enter the market must give priority to the cost issue. There is no more cost-effective cost control than building its own industrial chain. As a result, the food delivery and express delivery industry has become a monopoly of Qingyun, and it is difficult for outsiders to intervene.

Qin Xiangli sent people to investigate for half a year, and after finding out all the facts, he decided to go all in.

Because Runhua is also mainly engaged in retail consumer goods, if all raw material and sales channel problems can be solved at the source, Runhua’s future will be limitless.

"Drinking water, beer, toilet paper, beverages, instant noodles, the most basic medicines...

These are the future flagship products that I am going to develop. As long as you are willing to help me with all your strength, Runhua will give you a share, and we will share the wealth in the future."

Qin Xiangli no longer hesitated and directly offered his price. "Don't forget, Runhua has an advantage in Hong Kong, especially HSBC. With me, HSBC's controlling stake is just around the corner."

Li Zehua said with reluctance on the surface, but in his heart, he was really moved, "What do you want to do? Tell me what specific plans you have."

“Ceebao is benchmarking against Nongfu Spring, wow haha.

Runhua is preparing to acquire Huanghai Beer, Yuqing Beer and Zhujiang Beer.

The outlet for toilet paper is in Fujian Province. You have connections in Ningde, so take your time.

I have made up my mind about beverages. I will first acquire Wanglaoji, then use the Burger King under your name, and gradually develop into the cola business. I will be responsible for opening up Zhongliang's channels.

As for instant noodles, White Elephant can consider trying to eliminate Kangshoufu and Tongyi.

Drugs are the simplest. They buy a large number of patents that are about to expire from abroad in large quantities at low prices, and directly copy them to win by volume..."

Qin Xiangli has truly done a lot of market research and speaks very logically. The most important thing is that with the help of Qingyun's channels, Runhua can reduce the costs of raw material procurement, transportation and sales channels as much as possible.

These days, low cost means mastering core competitiveness! (End of this chapter)
