Winner Takes It All, Resurrection 2009

"Boss, Yanjing is calling, it's urgent."

Just as Zhou Shouyuan was about to express his opinion on the lack of side effects and safe payment, Liu Ziliang came in from outside and handed the phone to Li Zehua who was in a listening position.

The latter looked surprised, "Don't we let people rest on New Year's Eve?"

After listening for a while, his face darkened, "Then let them investigate, but let me be frank, if they find out, there's no need for them to arrest me. I'll come to your door with my hands tied, and you can kill me or chop me up as you wish.

But what if it’s not found out?”

The person on the other end of the phone paused, as if he was exchanging opinions with someone, and then said after a while: "For enterprises that pay taxes on time and operate in compliance with the law, our consistent principle is to resolutely protect them...

If there is any grievance, the company can report it to the higher authorities through formal tujing...

However, after careful research, we think it is better to stop it. After all, some things are more important than just a few ounces. If they are weighed a thousand pounds, they cannot be stopped..."

The meaning behind his words is that some people have set their sights on Qingyun, trying to find a breakthrough here.

If we have to blame someone, we should blame Qingyun for its strong influence on various brother groups. It has in fact grown into the banner of local private enterprises. Its choice will affect the judgment of a large group of people.

The rise of domestic products and their increasing market share will inevitably lead to serious dissatisfaction among foreign investors, especially in many key areas where foreign investors used to make countless excess profits without doing anything.

As QingCloud has achieved success in electronic product manufacturing, semiconductor display panels, chip design and manufacturing, and the Internet, especially mobile Internet financial services, the affected stakeholders are no match for it alone.

Forced to band together and fight back, relying on the interpersonal networks accumulated over the past twenty years and focusing on the upcoming March meeting, the competition between the two sides gradually entered a white-hot stage of close combat.

No one has a way out. Everyone knows that this is a business competition that is destined to have only one winner. The winner takes all, and the loser is kicked out and loses the qualification to participate in the game.

"Let them check!"

Li Zehua said without hesitation: "I want to see how these people end up!"

He doesn't care at all. In the past three years, the group has insisted on hiring an independent third-party financial company to participate in and lead all auditing work. This is to prevent the company from deliberately underreporting or missing information in order to save costs, and then being held responsible by others.

The company believes that it has never committed fraud in terms of operating data, receipt of subsidies, and timely payment of various taxes. As such, it is not afraid of being targeted.

"Boss, let me make it clear in advance. Qingyun has a lot of top-secret business information that must not be disclosed to the outside world. They can check it, but they must strictly abide by all rules and regulations.

Otherwise, if it is leaked, who will be responsible for it? "

They are all thousand-year-old foxes. Li Zehua emphasized this point, and the other party understood it instantly. "You mean to lure them into a trap and let them take the initiative to open the lid, so that you can use the power of the Five Military Governor's Office, which has not made a clear statement, to deal with them?"

"I didn't say that. Anyway, how things develop depends on their own choice."

Li Zehua sneered, "Some of the participants must have connections with certain people outside. I was just making an analogy. If this gets out in the future and affects the progress of the entire grand plan, who will be held responsible?"

The big boss said in a deep voice: "Top-level information must not be leaked, this is a top-line issue!
Don't worry about that, we will try our best to make proper arrangements, but can you guarantee that there will be no other hidden dangers?"

“There are absolutely no major problems.”

Li Zehua smiled and said, "But other people have their mouths, and I can't control what they say, especially since there are a lot of business plans that cannot be known to the outside world, and they are hidden from people.

Only God knows what others will think.

Moreover, these plans cost a lot of money, including the active phase control that Dajiang Technology is testing...

Spectral analysis scanning automatic identification, artificial intelligence big data, high-precision and high-accuracy automatic identification and tracking, basic material and special material research and development and production projects..."

As Li Zehua uttered a word, the expression on the other end of the phone became more serious.

In fact, many people do not understand Qingyun. Even Li Zehua himself may not be clear about how many industries Qingyun Group is involved in, how many advanced technologies it has mastered, and how many companies it is secretly cooperating with on core projects.

He only knew one thing, that Qingyun Agriculture, Dajiang Technology, Googol Technology, Yunyunbang, including various businesses such as Chichu, Fengniao and SF Travel, were all more or less involved in the civilian-to-labor project, and played a decisive role.

Take the Beidou navigation commercial service as an example. The outside world, including direct competitors, only knows that Qingyun uses its acquired wholly-owned subsidiary, Qingyun AutoNavi Map, to operate and manage it.

The vehicle navigation systems under Qingyun's various businesses are all using and promoting this commercial system, providing a steady stream of funding and data support for the rapid improvement of Beidou and the launch of additional satellites.

But in reality, the companies that have made the greatest contribution to the actual application of Beidou and the feedback of scientific and technological progress to reality are Qingyun Agriculture and Dajiang Technology.

This is really no joke.

In the past year, Dajiang Technology, which has a slight reputation in the global drone market, achieved a record revenue of over 30 billion RMB, with corporate purchases exceeding the personal consumer market for the first time.

The purchase volume of Qingyun Agriculture and Qingyun AutoNavi Maps alone exceeded 12 billion RMB. Where did so much money go?
With Qingyun's crazy promotion at all costs, the market for agricultural drones, surveying drones, and various test-specific drones has ushered in its first market explosion.

This is all thanks to Nokia, which was introduced into the cooperation with Huaban, ZTE, Datang and Qingyun, as well as Nortel, which went bankrupt due to the financial crisis, providing core technical support.

In 4/2011, the 12G telecommunications network technology standard was still a distant future technology for ordinary consumers in Dongda University and only existed in descriptions in the news media.

In the original time and space, the first 13G commercial license was issued in China in early 4, and large-scale application was not until after 2015.

However, as Qingyun and Nokia quickly got closer, the development of related domestic industries accelerated suddenly by injecting huge amounts of money in exchange for the shared application rights of 4G patents held by each other.

Unlike the original time and space, where the first technologically mature 4G base station appeared in big cities, this time it was affected by the emergence of Qingyun and actual needs.

Driven by profit, the three major operators took the lead in starting the construction of new generation communication technology standard base stations in rural areas of Western Regions, Qin, Gansu, Sichuan, Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning, and Shandong and Henan provinces in early 2011.

Without exception, these regions are all key investment areas of Qingyun Agriculture. In order to promote this plan, Qingyun Agriculture successfully recorded a loss of more than 500 billion RMB that year.

The industrial funds and financial institutions under Qingyun Group provided the three major operators with low-interest loans of over 200 billion RMB, driven by so much real money.

The three major operators have made up their minds to take the lead in testing the new generation of communication technology in the above-mentioned areas. The reason why Qingyun has made such a big move is that it is willing to invest huge amounts of money and take huge risks to solve the communication infrastructure first.

The purpose is to fundamentally reverse the difficulties that will inevitably be encountered in the future. The matter fundamentally comes back to the issue of Dongda Capital and large-scale overseas expansion.

It is easy to go out. After all, economically underdeveloped regions have an endless desire for capital and technology. In addition, Qingyun cooperates with Temasek Holdings in Southeast Asia and attracts a large number of powerful partners through mobile Internet finance.

There are no economic obstacles to building the local area into a stable backyard for export and using it as a springboard to enter the broader global market.

However, there are huge security issues, especially the farther away from the homeland, the greater the threat of squid capital. For example, in the vast South American and African markets, Europe and the United States have been operating there for hundreds of years, and their various relationship channel networks are intricate.

If you are not careful, it is easy to attract competitors to turn the table. This is no joke. Countless tragic lessons have proved that when domestic capital has invested huge sums of money and completed various preparations locally, there is no output yet.

They are driven out of the game by their opponents using tricks outside the game. The financial and time costs are secondary. Most of the time, both their money and their lives are lost. The key is that they cannot express their suffering in silence because they are not as skilled as their opponents.

The reason behind this is certainly that European and American capital has been laid out for a long time, but the bottom line is that Tokyo’s hard power has not grown, and it cannot form a deterrent, and cannot provide strong support for the overseas expansion of its own capital.

The underlying logical foundation of the world economy has not changed from ancient times to the present. The strong prey on the weak, and the truth is only within the coverage of the rumble. Whoever has the right to interpret the rumble has the right to speak.

If the development is carried out step by step according to the original time and space, it will take at least 16/17 for Tokyo University to get on the fast track of development. Who made Qingyun suddenly appear and openly start the modification mode with a cheating device?

No one knows better than Li Zehua how to achieve overtaking. Only more scientific and efficient farming can solve all problems.

Farming is also a profound knowledge, an indelible mark engraved in the blood and soul of the Chinese people that will be passed down for thousands of years.

From land fertilization, leveling and sowing, to fertilization, weeding and pest control, to harvesting and storage, it used to require a lot of manpower and hard work to complete a series of tasks.

Especially the work of pest control, weed control, pesticide spraying and fertilization is not only tedious and laborious, but also easily causes harm to human health. The most important thing is that it is a serious meaningless waste.

Even if crops are planted on the same piece of land, their different locations will cause them to be exposed to wind and sun, absorb soil nutrients, and be affected by the growth of surrounding weeds differently.

This results in differences in the yield, quality and taste of each crop during the final harvest.

Relying solely on manual identification and targeted care is unaffordable, not to mention the high cost. Even if one is willing to spend a lot of money on precision planting, the scope of coverage is extremely limited.

In the past, it was an almost impossible dream to unify agricultural production standards in the country, where the natural environment varies greatly, including 1.8 billion mu of land, including hills, plateaus, mountains, and droughts.

As we all know, the added value of agriculture is very low, and the input-output ratio is far lower than that of the manufacturing industry, not to mention compared with the financial industry. Even if we don’t consider the return, how to implement it effectively when everyone participates is a big problem.

But when 4G networks and drones are combined, everything changes dramatically.

Yuan Shikong Dajiang Technology adopts an open platform model, and even the flight control can be sold separately. It only monitors the data through the background and pays attention to changes in usage in various places at all times.

During this process, Dajiang soon realized that something was wrong. In Heilongjiang Province, which is very far away from Dajiang's headquarters, the market share of consumer drones is almost negligible.

Suddenly, a large number of drones operated by Dajiang flight control appeared, and the frequency of use was frighteningly high. The company was stunned at the time, and only after sending someone to investigate did they figure out the reason.

It turns out that people use drones as agricultural machinery for sowing, fertilizing, and spraying pesticides.

At first, Dajiang Technology was confused because almost all the respondents complained that the drones they used had insufficient load capacity and frequent battery and operational problems.

The price is not cheap and the durability is not good enough. The battery life is short and the hovering time is just so-so. The key is that the stability is not very satisfactory. It often breaks down and is subject to weather factors and cannot be used at any time.

The most annoying thing is that they break down very quickly. At that time, the staff of Dajiang were wondering why consumer-grade drones use a lot of lightweight and high-strength special materials, so they break down so often.

Later I found out that it was because the drones were used to carry pesticides and fertilizers, which are highly corrosive. If they are not cleaned properly or used improperly, they will stick to the drones and be scrapped in minutes.

Even if everything goes well, the drone cannot withstand the high-intensity operation of operating at full load and making dozens of trips back and forth throughout the day. But there is no other way, because the busy farming season requires timeliness.

If we miss the farming season, all our work for the whole year will be in vain. Are drones more important, or is a good grain harvest more important?
Hiring someone to apply pesticides and fertilizers for a day would start at at least 120 yuan these days (which is even more tiring than working on a construction site). The most important thing is that even the most skilled of people can only apply pesticides and fertilizers to 5 acres of land in a day, so even if there are many people, they can't handle it.

As for drones, even if they are consumer drones, they can cover at least 50 acres a day, which is equivalent to saving 1,200 yuan in labor costs.

After using them for just over ten days, hey, guess what, the cost of two drones has been saved, and you won’t feel bad if they break.

The most important benefit of using drones is that they save on pesticides and fertilizers, because drones are in the sky and can evenly absorb the fertilizers as they fly across the sky.

Plus, it doesn’t require any personal contact from humans, and the water ratio can be infinitely adjusted (water is added to reduce the concentration and avoid accidents during the spraying process).

After investigation, it was found that after the large-scale use of agricultural drones, the amount of pesticides and fertilizers used for crops on the same unit of land can be saved by 30-35%, and the amount of water can be saved by more than 95%.

Work efficiency increased by more than 10000%.

It is the huge economic benefits and work efficiency that have stimulated the application market's infinite longing and desire for scientific and technological productivity, directly giving birth to a huge consumer market.

At the beginning, everyone from Lu Fei to Wang Tao at Dajiang Technology was skeptical about Li's insistence on entering the highly professional drone market for agriculture, scientific research, surveying and mapping.

But after a year of market research and field testing, everyone went crazy.

Because they have witnessed with their own eyes a huge market with unlimited business opportunities, which only they have discovered so far.

However, the biggest challenge facing Dajiang is not the fuselage material, battery power and endurance, flight control and hovering, nor is it the spectral analysis and automatic recognition that are still in the process of technical verification.

High-definition camera data collection and automatic cruising, maintaining a fixed altitude throughout the entire process, fully automated and intelligent spraying, precise delivery, and complete data analysis and processing for crop production...

Rather, it is the traditional communication signal transmission and storage limitations.

3G is not yet sufficient to cope with such complex and highly intelligent tasks (in fact, 4G also has some shortcomings, but can meet the minimum needs, 5G can basically meet the needs, and the experimental 6G can perfectly exert all functions).

It was not until Qingyun intercepted Microsoft overseas and reached a strategic cooperation with Nokia in advance, and invested tens of billions of dollars, that Qingyun successfully gained the reputation of being a rich fool.

Finally, it obtained Nokia's 4G communication technology standards before all its competitors. After all, the latter operated the world's first 2009G network market in Northern Europe as early as 4.

After paying a huge price, Qingyun successfully returned to China with production licenses and patent authorizations. Even though he had to pay Nokia for each key device he produced, it could not stop Qingyun's enthusiasm.

With the technology in hand and the sound industrial system that had been developed in the country, and with heavy financial support, a gradually improved 4G equipment industry chain appeared before everyone in just over half a year.

Qingyun is not afraid of its own enemies. After all, Nokia's personal mobile device business is half-dead and has lost its largest source of income. It continues to face competition from its peers in the United States and the United States. Only God knows how much R&D capabilities Nokia will have in the future.

In short, with technical standards, complete industrial production capabilities, real needs, and huge profit drivers, the rest will follow naturally.

After receiving orders and financial support, the three major operators built a new generation of communication base stations in the Western Regions and other places in the shortest time. Subsequently, the cotton fields contracted by Qingyun Agriculture began to seamlessly connect with the new generation of agricultural drone products of Dajiang Technology.

During this process, many things began to change dramatically. Some unknown departments began to get involved and enjoyed it so much that they almost set up tents and lived in the Dajiang Research Institute.

There are too many good aspects. For example, in order to increase the strength of the drone body, optimize the structure, increase the range and stability, and carry weight, it is necessary to optimize and upgrade the materials and batteries.

During this process, some strange things began to appear early.

In order to deliver pesticides and fertilizers more accurately, spray more evenly to save costs, and automatically determine target areas and which cotton needs more pesticide and fertilizer application, various software and information collection sensor components have also been upgraded.

The most critical aspects are flight control and camera, two vital links, which have been unprecedentedly enhanced, and automatic cruise control, automatic target setting and autonomous completion are all pieces of cake.

When development is hindered, the company makes acquisitions. This is the reason why the company spent hundreds of millions of dollars to acquire Deutsche Optical Sensors and infrared technology a few years ago.

If the acquisition fails, they will poach people to do research and development. Although Dajiang Technology’s headquarters only has about 2,500 engineers of various types, there are still a large number of technical experts doing supporting projects in Hong Kong, Lijiaopo, and Shanghai.

In short, according to a certain 3-star boss of the Five Military Commandery, what is development?

It took off from 5000 kilometers away carrying kilograms of pesticides, controlled throughout the journey by computers and satellites, arrived at the designated area at high altitude and speed, searched and sprayed pesticides autonomously, and returned safely before the cotton plants noticed any changes. This is called development.

The future of unmanned agriculture is just around the corner!
Although there is still a long way to go to achieve this goal, we have accumulated key technologies such as material breakthroughs, flight control software, and continuous and stable battery power output in the process of exploration and progress.

Including a series of other changes it triggers, it is enough to influence the entire system to make better and more favorable changes. What does it mean that technology changes life?

This is it.

The massive amount of money and resources Qingyun invested in this project were all carried out in secret under the guise of a secret project. Once someone tries to uncover this, it will be a lot of fun... (End of this chapter)
