Chapter 675: Tears of West Lake - The Sorrow of Ali
"Brother, are you so busy every day?"
Shen Wanqing counted on her fingers and found that the journey from Shanghai to Qiantang took only two hours. However, from the moment she got on the car to the moment she got off the highway, Li Zehua's phone never stopped ringing, and he received calls so frequently that she couldn't count them with two hands.
If I didn't know, I would have thought he was a telephone customer service representative for insurance sales.
"It's okay, I'm used to it."
Li Zehua got out of the car and opened the door for her. He looked around the manor and found the environment was OK. "Don't play too crazy with your sister Xiaomin. I'll come and pick you up for dinner in the evening."
After saying hello to the security assistants nearby and asking them to keep an eye on things, I prepared to leave. The place where I had an appointment to chat was not very far away, so I didn't even need to drive and could just walk a few steps to get there.
When one reaches his position, many things are beyond his control. Not only does he have to fight for himself, but he also has to consider the interests of those who eat with him. So it would be better to take Shen Wanqing out for a trip to relax.
To make up for the mistake of not accompanying her during the college entrance examination, it would be better to take her to the West Lake to enjoy the scenery and relax after work.
“The environment is good, but the location is a bit eye-catching. It is close to the scenic road and there are too many people and it is hard to be quiet.
"If you spread the word that you are surrounding the lake and admiring the scenery, you will probably be criticized for being too high-profile."
Li Zehua was not very satisfied with this lakeside manor given by a friend. The value was secondary. The thousand-square-meter garden and the beautiful scenery of the house might be breathtaking in the eyes of outsiders.
However, just like the century-old Western villas adjacent to the Huangpu River in Shanghai, it is too luxurious to be located in the downtown area, even the Shanghai government transferred the use rights of one of the villas to Qingyun for 49 years.
He has never lived there for a single day, but the company took the money and renovated it carefully to entertain CEOs of friendly companies and high-level investors. It is said that every friend who has been there has praised it highly.
He was thinking about whether he should make use of this manor adjacent to the lake, but when he turned around and saw Shen Wanqing's heartfelt smile, he gave up.
Seeing that he was about to leave, Shen Wanqing became anxious, "Brother, are you here to work, or to accompany me to visit West Lake?"
"It's good to have both work and life. I'll just go over and chat for a few minutes and I'll be back soon."
Li Zehua laughed it off, but under the other party's aggrieved look, the rest of the excuses came to his lips but he couldn't say them out.
He could only arrange for Zhang Tao to notify the guests to come directly here, and then put everything behind him and accompanied Shen Wanqing for a walk around the manor.
"Don't answer the phone. You promised to only accompany me. You are a puppy if you lie to me."
Faced with the unreasonable snatching of the ringing phone, Li Zehua didn't have any temper at all, and could only smile bitterly and said: "Okay, you are the boss, you have the final say.
But you are a grown-up girl now, you can’t be so clingy anymore, or else if your sister sees me, she will tear me apart.”
He finally managed to push away the little hand that was pulling at the corner of his clothes, but after a while the hand sneaked up again. Li Zehua was speechless and simply walked to the side, holding the railing and pointing at the vaguely visible center of the lake.
"Do you like this?"
"Ah."
"I remember there is a villa in the middle of the lake. I forgot who built it. If you like it, I'll ask someone to see if I can buy it for you."
Li Zehua's expression was not fake: "With such a low score in the college entrance examination, there is no chance for you to get into Tsinghua or Peking University. Roasted sweet potatoes are okay. If you don't save some dowry now, I'm afraid you will be too poor to get married in the future."
"You are the one roasting sweet potatoes."
Shen Wanqing rolled her eyes at him in displeasure, "Humph, I'm taking the independent enrollment exam for Jiaotong University, how can I not be admitted with 600 points~
Don't try to lie to me. Uncle Wu had already told me secretly. He also said that I could join his research group when I was in my sophomore year, and I could study for both my bachelor's and master's degrees at the same time, hehe~
You are the one with the lowest education in our family. My sister told me that you even cheated to get your high school diploma."
“Nonsense, I am a graduate student of both Jiaotong University and Fudan University (one in economics, one in history, and I am still working and have not graduated yet).
Also, who told you that my first degree was high school?
I am a genuine honorary undergraduate alumnus of Tsinghua University (the alumni status was arranged by someone). If you don’t believe me, you can check it on Baidu Encyclopedia.
I think you are just itching to be beaten. Do you want to take off after being admitted to Jiaotong University?
This Wu Liangyu has some resources in his hands. Look how he is showing off. Be careful or I will report him for his secret manipulation. "
Li Zehua cursed loudly but he was actually very pleased in his heart. People are all like this. They just hate that they cannot enjoy special treatment.
If Wu Liangyu didn't take the initiative to help, he would get angry. What? You donate hundreds of millions to Jiaotong University every year, and the cooperative scientific research projects are worth tens of billions, and my sister, you don't even arrange it for us?
He was daydreaming and didn't notice that Shen Wanqing's mind was not on the lake view at all. She would secretly glance at him from time to time, and then quickly look away for fear that he would notice.
But he was unwilling to give up, and secretly licked his lips, as if he wanted to say something, "Who wants to get married, it's better to be smashed in the hand."
Unfortunately, before she could muster up the courage, Zhang Tao strode over and said, "Sir, Mr. Huang and Mr. Xu have arrived and are drinking tea in the reception room."
Then he said to Shen Wanqing: "Ms. Chen is here too. She is waiting for you in the front hall."
"Okay, Wanqing, you and Xiaomin go find a place to play by yourselves. I'll come find you after I'm done here. Be obedient."
As if comforting a kitten or puppy, after rubbing the head and speaking sweet words of comfort, Li Zehua turned around and left without hesitation, not noticing the resentful look behind him.
"Mr. Huang, Sister Xin, long time no see."
As soon as we entered the door, Li Zehua greeted everyone warmly. They were all old acquaintances, including a general manager of Qiantang Yamen and an extremely important early investor for Qingyun.
After some pleasantries, Mr. Huang first explained his purpose, which was mainly because Qingyun has been making big moves and investments in China recently, and anyone who sees it would want to get a piece of the pie.
Even though Mr. Huang had already determined his next stop in advance, he couldn't help wanting to leave something for Qiantang in order to plan for the future, so he took the opportunity of his finally coming here to pay him a visit.
“Most of the things on the project have been planned in advance.”
Li Zehua frowned slightly, but did not say anything definite. "But since Mr. Huang came here in person, we are all friends, so it would be bad to let you go back empty-handed. It just so happens that everyone in Yanjing has made a suggestion.
The State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, the Ministry of Finance and the central bank will set up an Dongda High-tech Manufacturing Industry Investment Company, with an initial target of 600 billion yuan in domestic investment each year, with no upper limit.
Currently, Yanjing Magic City is actively striving for it, but it happens that Qingyun has some say in it. If Mr. Huang doesn't mind, I can help and do some indirect work on his behalf.
I can’t guarantee who will win, but this investment company is destined to become one of the largest financing channels for the domestic manufacturing industry in the future, and will take off along with the manufacturing industry and enjoy the best economic development dividends…”
After briefly introducing the operating model, development prospects, and profit expectations of the manufacturing industry investment company, Mr. Huang's interest was instantly piqued, "Hearing what you said.
Wouldn't it be that once the industrial upgrading is completed, this company will have a considerable influence on the entire high-tech manufacturing industry, not to mention how much dividends and taxes the headquarters can get?
If we just let them build a branch factory and a production line at the headquarters, wouldn't that be easy?
Especially the scientific and technological innovation attributes, which involve high-quality employment. Wherever the headquarters is located, the high-paying jobs created will drive upstream and downstream consumption, and the headquarters will stay there. It is really a profitable business!
The introduction of this city is completely in line with Qiantang’s development positioning as a high-tech city and a livable city for human beings in the future.”
Mr. Huang was happy. "Mr. Li, you have to give me a definite answer on this matter. Whether it will succeed or not is another matter. At least let Qiantang make full preparations according to the standards of an industrial investment company."
Everyone understood it immediately. If Li Zehua was not sure, he would not say anything at all. After all, there was the example of the Magic City of Yanjing. If there was an obvious tendency from above, bringing it up would only cause trouble.
Originally, Modu was the most likely to take over this newly established state-owned enterprise because the basis of its existence was that Qingyun had screened out the most promising manufacturing companies to achieve industry breakthroughs based on its internal supply chain data.
With the foundation laid by Qingyun, it is of course more convenient for the two headquarters to communicate information and to carry out the next step of work. But as the saying goes, you can't enjoy all the blessings, and the maximum utilization of resources is definitely not put in one basket. In the case of Dingguo and Moqi, Qingyun has brought great benefits to Modu.
Qingyun Power Technology has reached an unprecedented cooperation with Mercedes-Benz Group (Daimler Group), namely Qingyun will acquire the latter's Dongda electric vehicle business in full.
To put it simply, Qingyun can leverage Mercedes-Benz's influence to produce pure electric or hybrid Mercedes-Benz cars in Dongda to distinguish BYD's mid- and low-end pure electric models.
Creating a high-end car brand out of thin air would cost too much and would take too long to produce results. Taking into account many factors, including his personal preferences and practical factors, acquiring Dongda Mercedes-Benz's electric vehicle business was definitely the best choice.
This is a very beneficial choice for both parties.
First of all, Hans' economy is dominated by chemical energy and industrial manufacturing, and its resources in the fields of finance and public opinion are relatively scarce. WeChat Technology, Douyin Interactive Entertainment, and Micropayment held by Qingyun are developing rapidly in the markets of Southeast Asia.
There is also a certain market base in Europe and the United States (there are ceiling restrictions, so it is necessary to introduce strong local groups to safeguard business development). The cooperation between the two parties is beneficial to each other and can achieve perfect complementarity of resource shortcomings.
Mercedes-Benz and Qingyun met through their cooperation with Tesla. Both companies are major shareholders of the latter. They have had frequent contacts and exchanges during this period and have gradually reached agreements on cooperation in some key areas.
After spending a huge amount of money, Qingyun even helped BYD obtain many crucial internal combustion engine areas, central control systems, and material technology licenses from Mercedes-Benz.
In addition, Qingyun Group has carried out extensive cooperation with many European economies, and the interests of both parties have become increasingly intertwined. To date, Qingyun holds more than 1800 billion euros in government bonds (with leverage).
Moreover, she and Hans have an intricate and complicated relationship in many major international cooperation projects, especially in the battle to defend the pound exchange rate and the upcoming energy futures.
The cooperation between the two parties is very pleasant, so Hans also has a strong and practical need to strengthen cooperation and mutual trust with Qingyun, with the active promotion of all parties.
Qingyun's European and American business group president Zhou Shouyuan and global business group president Yang Zhichao personally traveled around Europe for a month and reached a number of cooperation agreements with countries including Daiying, Gaolu, and Hans.
In Hans, the cooperation terms reached by Qingyun include WeChat Technology, Micropayment, Qingyun Smart Life Group (food delivery, online car-hailing, logistics and other businesses), Qingyun Electronics (all are local branches) and other businesses.
They will sell shares ranging from 35% to 51% respectively, including databases and other core resources related to local information security, all of which will remain in the local area.
After retaining only the rights to daily operational management and commercial data processing, Qingyun remains the largest controlling shareholder, and the introduced local group provides strong endorsement for Qingyun to carry out normal business activities locally.
And transfer part of the resources in Dongda or other regions to Qingyun. Among them, Mercedes-Benz gave the Dongda tram business, which is useless to Mercedes-Benz.
Because the scope of national subsidies is limited to companies that are 100% controlled by Dongda Capital, even if Mercedes-Benz personally competes, it will definitely not be able to beat Dongda's local electric car brand that has huge subsidies.
What's more, after selling it to Qingyun, Mercedes-Benz can still get a large sum of money every year through technology licensing and brand usage fees. Why not do it?
Qingyun does not intend to pay a large sum of money every year and be taken advantage of. It just wants to wait for the electric vehicle technology to mature and then use Mercedes-Benz's global channels to achieve low-cost global expansion.
They are even pushing American capital to make plans in Europe. One day, after dismembering the Hans family's industrial system, they will in turn acquire the Daimler Group as a whole. Now they are all one family, so why talk about brand usage fees?
Both sides thought they had gained the upper hand, and they were laughingly stabbing each other in the back in private, both intending to draw Wall Street's attention to the other side and then reap the benefits.
The specific layout depends on who has more clever means, but it is obvious that Shanghai is just sitting at home and waiting for something good to happen. Once it is like the original time and space, it will be through huge state subsidies and policy regulation.
By building up the industry chain of pure electric and hybrid new energy vehicles at all costs, Shanghai will win without any effort.
Because Tesla is destined to settle in Shanghai in the future, just because Qingyun is the largest shareholder of Tesla and because of the private alliance between traditional American capital and Dongda Capital, both parties will definitely let Tesla survive, and live a comfortable life.
Therefore, Qingyun started the Mercedes-Benz electric car business in Shanghai in advance, and will be able to get support from Tesla's industrial chain in the future. It is a profitable business and it is hard not to succeed.
Now that an explanation has been given to Shanghai, the vacant manufacturing investment company can be used as a bargaining chip to lure Qiantang into joining the game. After all, who would refuse a big piece of fat meat?
"Boss Huang, I will definitely pass on your message, but you also know that Shanghai is very concerned about this matter. Before Boss Yu went north, he specifically talked to me, and Boss Han meant the same thing.
Look."
Li Zehua is such a cunning person, he immediately made demands.
Faced with huge profits, even though Mr. Huang knew it was a pit, he had to jump in and test its depth himself.
He then stated that anyone could make any requests.
What bad intentions could Li Zehua have? He just wanted to use the Qiantang government to give Ali some fun.
Blockades, restrictions and trouble-making are all unrealistic.
After all, Ali and Qiantang are the business cards of the city's development. No one would give up their skills unless Qingyun is willing to pack up and move the business headquarters from the Magic City to Qiantang.
But in that case, Modou would have to kill Li Zehua as soon as possible. This kind of tactic that puts the cart before the horse and ends in mutual destruction is something that only a madman would do.
However, there is no problem at all in bringing in a promising new industry, taking away the special nutrients that should belong to Ali, and competing with it for special interests within the rules of the game.
What does Ahri want?
It is the scale and quality of small and medium-sized merchants. The larger the group, the stronger its bargaining power with Taotao. Moreover, there are Qingyun and JD.com competing with it, so Taotao cannot get the fattest piece.
Therefore, Jack Ma clearly stated in Ali's latest development outline that Taotao will create a better development support environment for more small and medium-sized businesses.
Regardless of whether the money it spends to support its own retail network is effective, for this strategic goal, it basically shifts the focus of work to small businesses that are easier to control.
Manufacturing industry investment companies also target small companies and start-ups. The ideas of the two are almost the same, both of which aim to discover high-quality companies through a large base.
We also provide support in terms of funding, technology, policies, sales channels, etc., and provide resources along the way to help it grow and develop.
But the biggest problem here is that if one place has two core industrial chains, when resources are allocated, which one will come first and which one will come later?
Zhejiang Province is a bridgehead where private enterprises gather in large numbers and are extremely active. Everyone knows what Ali is planning, which is to use existing social resources to hatch his own eggs.
It is commonly known as borrowing chickens to lay eggs, taking a shortcut. However, there is already an international small commodity distribution center in the south, and it is imaginable how difficult it is to support another one in Qiantang.
And according to Ahri's usual tradition, everything must be done by itself and according to its wishes, and it doesn't pay. It always talks about so-called resources and channel priorities. It's pure empty-handedness!
The manufacturing industry investment company that Qingyun has been promoting has an annual starting capital of 600 billion yuan. For the shortfall, Qingyun will provide additional subsidies, focusing on scientific research to promote productivity development.
Of course, those companies that have taken the money and already have factories will not move out easily, but many start-ups without factories want to verify whether their own technology meets the market demand.
It will inevitably be influenced by industrial investment companies and move closer to their headquarters, so the location advantage of Yanjing Magic City has become a disadvantage.
The reason is that the land cost in big cities is too high, making it difficult to build large-scale emerging industrial parks, while to the west of Qiantang is a large mountainous area waiting to be developed.
As long as the infrastructure is up to par, we can build not just one innovation industrial park, but even ten or a hundred.
This is the biggest advantage. Moreover, in traditional Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, the interests of the upper classes are mostly consistent. Shanghai does not mind if the city falls to Zhejiang Province. When Qiantang heard about this, it immediately became interested.
This is a blatant conspiracy. The manufacturing industry investment company project promoted by Qingyun will surely become the country's leading high-tech industrial chain in the future.
There is no way Qiantang would give up the fat meat in his mouth.
However, it is impossible for a place's fiscal revenue and expenditure to appear more out of thin air. If you give to one, you will be short of that. Qingyun has obtained the priority right to support the industrial park.
What about Ahri? What should he do?
There is already Yiwu blocking the way. It wants to suppress Pinxixi and JD.com by supporting the e-commerce production and sales channels of Taotao.
Taking the opportunity to develop the industrial chain finance of payment insurance, we cannot do without the strong support of Qiantang Yamen. At the very least, small and medium-sized businesses must be settled and given strong financial support.
If Ali fails to establish its absolute advantage in the e-commerce sector and fails to pose a threat to micro-payments in Internet finance, its decline can be foreseen in advance, because it will be killed by Qingyun's money and ecological chain.
Now a state-owned enterprise that wants to share the cake appears out of nowhere and comes directly to copy its hometown. It's so disgusting.
Mr. Huang also considered this issue, but he is not the chairman of Ali. From Qiantang's perspective, both sides of his hands are flesh, and it is unrealistic to give up either one! (End of this chapter)
