Winner Takes It All, Resurrection 2009

Li Zehua stayed in Liaoning Province for a whole week. On the last day, he followed the boss and made a high-profile appearance in front of the media.

At the signing ceremony of Liaoning Province's investment promotion results, Qingyun signed 106 letters of intent for investment cooperation in one go, covering new energy, photovoltaics, basic materials, electronic products, and semiconductors.

And a certain industry, tourism culture, entertainment and mechanical equipment, hardware manufacturing and other industries.

(Many of these are led by other companies, with QingCloud providing technical services and financial support.)
The investment amount involved in the first phase alone was as high as US$220 billion.

It's time to show your sincerity. After all the trouble you've made, you've made them lose their status as family members, and now you haven't found a replacement. If you don't show some results, they won't dare to come here in the future.

After successfully signing the last contract (all of them were framework agreements, and both parties would need to negotiate specific details later), the two sides held hands tightly and allowed the media who had been waiting for a long time to take photos and interview them.

Of course, the achievements must be publicized and made known to everyone so that everyone understands that Liaoning Province has a bright future for economic development, which will attract more domestic and foreign capital to settle in the area.

This is by no means bragging. As the top leaders are determined to build Liaoning Province into the most important sub-regional center in the northern wing of the Bohai Rim Economic Zone, radiating to the entire Northeast, its economic strategic position has risen sharply.

(The southern wing is Shandong Province, radiating to the Central Plains and Jianghuai regions, and the middle is Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, radiating to North China.)
With the inclination of core projects and massive financial resources.

Liaoning Province will formally establish shipbuilding, automobile industry (new energy), photovoltaic industry, chemical energy, and machinery manufacturing by the end of this year.

A pillar industry chain of the manufacturing industry, mainly composed of basic materials (electrolytic aluminum and special materials), mid- and low-end semiconductor chips (for automotive, household appliances, etc.), and electronic products.

With strong support from national policies, broad market prospects, massive technical and financial support, and the blessing of the entire region's human resources, Liaoning Province's future is enough to make everyone look forward to it.

The service industry market developed solely by the secondary industry is enough to enable Liaoning Province's economic development to advance by leaps and bounds. Countless opportunities are in the making, and it depends on who can seize the advantage first.

When the knowledgeable people in the business community and foreign-funded companies saw this scene, they were all moved. These shrewd guys had a keen nose than anyone else and immediately sent a business inspection team to Liaoning Province.

We are preparing to find out the progress of the industrial chain negotiations so that we can occupy a favorable position as early as possible. After all, there is nothing wrong with making money, and who can resist money?

Everyone is rubbing their hands, just waiting for the signed project to come to fruition, so they roll up their sleeves and work hard to grab a key core location. Even if they rent it out in the future, they will be able to generate income for more than a decade!

Of course, not everyone is happy. For example, Korean capital is quite angry at the moment. This is their biggest bargaining chip to check and balance Dongda because of the intervention of Dongda private capital led by Qingyun.

It has completely lost its effectiveness. Specifically, in the case of a machinery processing plant in Fengtian, more than 20 Korean businessmen and management were arrested, and the evidence was ready.

The management of the machinery processing plant was caught in one fell swoop, and the people behind the scenes were also imprisoned. Without outside interference and facing the pressure from all sides, the government acted as fast as lightning.

No one was given time to react at all. The meeting and voting were still going on, but the people from the Jijian Committee had already taken control of the situation and were just waiting to be notified to take the people away immediately.

Knowing the seriousness of the matter long ago, there was no need for the people who had exposed the matter to resist. As soon as they entered, they confessed everything like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube.

Thus, justice was upheld, all the filth exposed to the sun was swept away, and all parties got the answers they wanted, and everyone was happy.

As for the Koreans who are jumping up and down and cursing, who cares? Do whatever you want and go wherever you feel comfortable.

The controlling rights of the machinery processing plant were also transferred to Qingyun by Fengtian at the fastest speed. Li Zehua personally signed and promised that 25% of the shares of the plant would always belong to the Liaoning Provincial State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission.

24% of the shares belong to all employees of the mechanical processing plant, and are held unconditionally by Qingyun Group and distributed to all employees in the form of annual cash dividends.

He has made up his mind to turn this place into a model project of Qingyun Manufacturing, and through a special application from the Liao Provincial Government, he changed its name to Hongxing Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd.

In the future, the company's main businesses will be the production and sales of new energy vehicle parts, mechanical equipment production and research and development, and other Qingyun-related businesses. It can be foreseen that the company will maintain a high level of business prosperity in the next few decades.

The old man surnamed Liu was specially hired by the group as the company's lifelong image spokesperson and special assistant to the compliance and supervision department. He is the best and most suitable mascot.

As long as he is alive, the group will donate 10 million yuan in his name to the Five Military Governor's Office, which is responsible for the rehabilitation of demobilized personnel and post-war resettlement and security, to be used for preferential treatment of the old hero.

……

"Go to Jinhai. We must give an explanation for the 15 tons of copper. Notify Lin Wenhui and Yao Xiangjun. Contact the person in charge of the State Reserves Bureau. We will hold a meeting in Jinhai tonight. The long and short battle in copper futures must be resolved."

After the luncheon, Li Zehua returned to the room and immediately arranged the next phase of work. He asked Mr. Wu Yibin to go to Pengcheng in person, first to discuss the merger with ZTE, and then to discuss equity cooperation with Huaban.

The group's bottom line is to hold more than 33.4% of Petals' shares and not seek to change Petals' existing structure and development plan, but to have a veto over major matters involving the group's core interests.

The two parties also reached an agreement on the reciprocal opening of the technology patent library and the sharing of technology resulting from subsequent research and development outputs.

Tell Wu Yibin that this is the absolute bottom line. If Huaban shows no sign of agreement, I authorize him to immediately implement the full suffocation plan."

Liu Ziliang's heart was pounding, but as a close confidant of his boss, he knew very well that when his boss was making a decision, he must not try to cross the line and interfere. Even if he had doubts, he could only persuade him in a roundabout way afterwards.

But he also knew very well what a tragic situation he would face if the petals refused.

The comprehensive suffocation plan is a long-term competitive suppression strategy formulated by the group to target competitors that cannot be replaced in the industry, cannot be influenced by equity, and cannot be completely defeated.

For example, competitors such as Google, Apple, Microsoft, Qualcomm, Oracle, Siemens, Amazon, Petal, SMIC, Temasek, General Motors, and Aramco are all on this list.

(Core groups directly controlled by powerful economies are not included, such as the Federal Reserve and the Big Five.)
Petal has the honor of being the first competitor to be targeted. This is its honor and also its greatest misfortune.

Because once the suffocation plan begins, it will be a fight to the death. The competition will only end when one of the two sides makes a huge compromise and concession.

Its specific implementation details include a complete power outage starting from the day the plan is implemented, that is, all cooperation involving Petal technology and business, including services provided by third parties, will be terminated.

Qingyun will do its utmost to guide third parties it cooperates with to completely abandon equipment and services containing Petal technology. In a word, all equipment and services that have alternatives will be replaced.

Without considering any economic benefits, their primary goal is to suffocate the opponent's profit channels. They would rather lose money themselves than let their opponents make money.

For irreplaceable technology and equipment products, we will find ways to invest in related fields to achieve technological breakthroughs. During this period, we will use related product technologies sparingly and with caution, and never increase revenue for competitors.

Faced with the markets and channel markets where Qingyun has an advantage, it will stop at nothing to encircle and drive out the possibility of competitors' intervention. For example, in Southeast Asia, the vast Africa, South America, Eastern Europe, and certain domestic areas, it will block wherever it can and cheat wherever it can.

No market will provide Huaban with the convenience of expansion. Qingyun is willing to actively cooperate in any market it intervenes in as long as it can guide its competitors to seize the market.

In the areas of financial financing channels and public opinion, we adopt a multi-pronged approach, using whatever tactics are useful, and utilizing the advantageous resources at the disposal of the group to encircle, block and create obstacles to development.

If the opponent must use some irreplaceable resources, Qingyun will enter the market and use its financial advantage to raise prices, taking advantage of the opportunity to make a profit while setting up a trap to force the opponent to take over at a high price.

After consuming a large amount of their valuable resources, they then concentrate their funds to sell off their competitors, thereby raising their competitors' production costs in disguise and causing their capital chain to become strained.

When faced with key companies and technologies that competitors want to acquire, Qingyun will either personally participate or support its competitors in bidding for them, as long as it is determined that they can provide a huge boost to their development.

During the specific implementation phase, it also includes recruiting key talents of opponents with high salaries, bribing and dispatching relevant personnel, collecting internal business confidential information, etc.

In short, all means that can attack the opponent can be used, even at critical moments, including physical means to eliminate certain key existences.

This suffocation plan was originally a big gift package prepared for European and American companies that would confront each other in the future after decoupling, and it was aimed at using all possible means on a global scale.

Attack its living space and curb the opponent's normal development momentum!
This is the only way to fight for national destiny, because addition is too slow to take effect and can hinder the opponent, while subtraction can sometimes bring unexpected gains. The reason why Huaban can enter this big list is because of Hans Industry 4.0 and future development plans collected by Qingyun.

No one knows better than Li Zehua the importance of the telecommunications industry to the future of smart manufacturing business. It can be said that the former is the foundation for the existence of the latter!

The prerequisites for unmanned and intelligent operations are the transmission and reception speed of communication signals and the ability to collect, analyze and process data. Big data and artificial intelligence also rely on the support of the communications industry.

QingCloud already has the Internet of Things.

QingCloud also has big data and intelligent manufacturing technology for the manufacturing industry.

The problem lies in the communications business area. Qingyun's foundation is relatively weak, and its discussions with higher-ups about cooperation in controlling ZTE and Datang have not yet received a definite response, although the majority of voices are in favor.

But if you don't get it one day, things will be full of variables.

Although Qingyun has obtained most of the patent libraries of Nokia and Lucent, it is not a company specializing in telecommunications business after all. It has too few talent pools and lacks the genes to maintain its leading position in the long term.

Telecommunications services require years of investment and constant updating of patent libraries to maintain technological leadership. The international competition pressure is huge and it is very easy to be restricted by other economies.

Qingyun Investment is diversified. Although it spans many industries and has strong resources, it is inevitable that it will be unable to stay ahead in all aspects. This is the most time-saving and labor-saving method.

The goal is to achieve it by holding a controlling stake in a core technology company and sharing resources. As foreign companies, it is difficult for Nokia and Qualcomm to help Qingyun accomplish its goals.

Therefore, only Huaban and ZTE are left, and Datang is just a backup option. In view of the telecommunications business, the importance of Qingyun cannot be overemphasized!
Li Zehua made up his mind to seize the most favorable opportunity when Qingyun maintained good cooperation with Qualcomm, Nokia and ZTE at the same time, and to have a showdown with Huaban and launch a general attack if there was any disagreement.

He has no intention of having absolute control over Huaban, nor will he interfere with the other party's development plans. He is even willing to share the interests of Qingyun Panda with Huaban, as long as Huaban is willing.

Qingyun is willing to fully open up most of its resources to safeguard its development, including financing channels and other assistance. As long as it does not affect Qingyun's strategic development, everything can be agreed.

In exchange, Huaban needs to open its core industrial chain and technology to Qingyun at any time to ensure that Qingyun can be completely assured and boldly implement its smart manufacturing strategy.

There is no need to worry about being suddenly backstabbed by core allies, which would lead to a crucial strategic collapse.

This is not a question of probability whether it is possible or not. As long as there is a 0.01% risk, Li Zehua will not gamble. He is making sure everything is under control.

Don’t say you are overbearing and intolerant!

Any company that controls core resources will adopt the same style when choosing the future basic strategic development direction: overbearing?
It's just an appearance. Control is the foundation. Whoever disobeys will be eliminated. There is no mercy at all. As the saying goes, righteousness does not command wealth, and kindness does not command soldiers. Give competitors a break.

It is the greatest cruelty to yourself. How can a helmsman who is indecisive, considers personal feelings when making decisions, and ignores the core interests of the group succeed?
In the real world where the strong prey on the weak, any weak emotion will lead to catastrophic disaster unless it can bring greater benefits.

However, the petals happened to block Qingyun's main expansion route and could not be bypassed no matter what, even though in his previous life, a certain Mr. Li had crazily promoted the petals and regarded them as a banner benchmark for domestic technology companies.

It also did not prevent him from personally ordering the petals to be completely buried as the chairman of a rival group.

The more powerful the technological capabilities of a technology group that cannot be used by me, the greater the threat it poses. What if one day it chooses to stab me in the back for greater benefits?
……

Ren Huaban was so angry that he almost started a fight. Even though he was already old and had dedicated his entire life to scientific research, who wouldn't have a temper?

Cheng Dongxian, who was participating in the entire negotiation, also tried to suppress the rage that was about to erupt. He looked at Wu Yibin with hatred and said with an extremely rare gnashing of teeth:

"Boss Wu, are you here today to represent Qingyun Group and issue an ultimatum to Huaban?

Looking around the world, is there any threat more outrageous and insulting than this?"

Qingyun Group is responsible for public maintenance affairs. Wu Yibin, president of the business group of WeChat Technology Group, personally led a team to visit Huaban, which was supposed to be a happy thing for everyone.

Because Qingyun has cooperated with Huaban in many fields, Qingyun is the undisputed largest partner of Huaban. However, today, what Wu Yibin brought was not friendship.

It's a declaration of war similar to an ultimatum!
If Qingyun does not agree to acquire more than 33.4% of Huaban's shares at the market price, Qingyun will completely cut off cooperation with Huaban, which is a comprehensive strategic decoupling and the two will become mortal enemies from then on.

"Director Ren, President Cheng, calm down. You can set any conditions you want. Let's take our time in the negotiations. As long as our interests are aligned, we can always reach a cooperation.

99.9% of all employees hold shares, including Qingyun, and we are not the evil ones. Is it wrong to want to help Huaban develop? "

Wu Yibin was helpless. He could understand his boss's difficulties, but suddenly it had to come to the last step, which was really frustrating. He tried to persuade him but to no avail, so he could only bite the bullet and come to negotiate.

Fortunately, he was fully prepared this time. He brought more than 30 first-class security guards, and also assembled a fully armed mobile force outside the Huaban headquarters.

It wasn't that he was planning to attack Huaban as soon as possible, but he wanted to rush in and rescue him as soon as possible after the fallout.

It's not an exaggeration. Based on this opening threat, if he doesn't beat the shit out of the other party, it would be considered a clean one for the other party today. He is also afraid that the other party will get furious and beat him up on the spot!

Fortunately, before he spoke, he had confirmed again and again that there were more than 30 security guards at the door of the conference room. With just one phone call from him, they could break into the room and cover his escape.

If looks could kill, Wu Yibin would have died a hundred times by now.

Ren Huaban was almost having a heart attack, she covered her chest and said, "What about Li Zehua? If you have the guts, let him come and say it himself, it's simply lawless.

What does he think Petal is, a small company that he can manipulate at will?
I have said that Huaban will never accept blackmail, and I will not let his conspiracy succeed even if it means both of us will suffer losses."

To put it bluntly, Qingyun proposed to negotiate for equity investment several times before, but was rejected by Huaban without hesitation. This forced Qingyun to step in and force Huaban to choose one of the two options before the implementation of the smart manufacturing strategy.

Either get in the car and play together, or go your separate ways completely. There is no third option.

Unfortunately, Huaban is also a wealthy and powerful person with full wings, so she is not afraid of threats at all.

Cheng Dongxian also started to curse, "This is simply too much. Let the Li guy come over. At worst, we will both die and the net will be broken. It won't be easy for Huaban. Does that mean you Qingyun can cover the sky with one hand?
I still don't believe that the higher-ups won't care about this. I'm going to call Pengcheng right now to complain and let them see for themselves whether Qingyun has any shame or not? !
I've heard of falling out over failed cooperation, but I've never heard of people being caught and humiliated for not selling their company shares. You are simply ridiculous."

This was not a threat, but after saying it, he immediately called Mr. Wang in Pengcheng and during the call, he gave Li a fierce greeting.

Mr. Wang was confused. Why did these two uncles suddenly start a quarrel?
It’s a headache, but we have to intervene immediately. These two companies are the cornerstones of Pengcheng’s development and rise, and neither of them can be missing!
After a good round of consolation, Mr. Wang did not hesitate to call Mr. Li in Jinhai, ready to act as a peacemaker and resolve the conflict between the two families.

But the latter's words confused him again.

"Boss Wang, I will explain the details to you later, but I only have one thing to say now, and no one can change my mind!

Huaban can either accept Qingyun's strategic investment, or Qingyun can immediately mobilize all its resources and defeat it at all costs while it still has the advantage, until it goes bankrupt.

Please don't worry, Mr. Wang. Even if we lose Huaban, we still have ZTE. Qingyun promises to give Pengcheng a more powerful telecommunications business empire.

So please support me!"

Mr. Wang was completely confused. He shouted for killing and wanted to fight to the death. What happened? (End of this chapter)
