Winner Takes It All, Resurrection 2009

"What exactly happened? Why did the two groups suddenly become enemies? We must investigate immediately. We must not let them quarrel. The impact will be too bad."

Faced with the sudden tension between Qingyun and Huaban, all parties were alarmed and felt puzzled. They were originally cooperating well, and even if a core conflict arose, they should have discussed it first.

If no agreement can be reached, then the two sides will raise the stakes and continue talking after each side has demonstrated its strength. If no agreement can be reached, each side will intervene to mediate. If the differences are still too great, then each side will win over its allies for support.

Basically, all business competitions that have reached this point should think about how to end it gracefully. After all, if two large and powerful business groups start fighting, the impact will be too wide and it will be easy to get out of control.

But the two companies did not leak any news. They were good partners the day before, but suddenly and inexplicably ended up completely falling out.

Not to mention that outsiders were unable to react, most people inside Qingyun who received the notice to thoroughly investigate the scope of cooperation with Huaban were also confused and wanted to know what had happened.

Huaban couldn't figure out why Qingyun reacted so strongly. Wasn't it just that Qingyun was not allowed to invest?

But the problem is that Ren Huaban, as the actual controller, only holds 0.01% of the shares, and he still has to rely on the employee stock ownership platform to fully control the company.

Qingyun asked for 33.4% of the shares and a veto power on key matters. Strictly speaking, his power is greater than Ren Huaban's, in case Qingyun suddenly has a whim one day.

What should I do if I want to seize the management rights of Huaban Group?
So the choice of petals is not wrong.

Is that Qingyun's wild idea, trying to use his power to force others to become the bad guy?
Nor is it.

Because there is no right or wrong in this matter, there are only fatal differences caused by different positions. Li Zehua sees through it and knows clearly that he will never get the shares of Huaban by using conventional means.

All parties, fearing the expansion of Qingyun's power, will choose to obstruct it. Huaban, with external support, will inevitably choose to play Tai Chi to prevaricate, and at most give away some favorable conditions for cooperation to get rid of it.

Qingyun wanted to acquire shares and take controlling stake, but it was impossible.

So they could only use the table-turning tactic, aiming to kill it from the beginning. All parties did not dare to intervene rashly to mediate, because Qingyun offered a price of one hundred, and everyone came in to negotiate peace.

You can't bargain it down to 1 for him, right?
Isn't this just a slap in Qingyun's face and a preparation for making an enemy?

But I can bargain for 90, and Huaban is bound to disagree. Who would dare to go to this kind of mediation where you are in trouble and are bound to offend the other party?

After successfully keeping most of the onlookers and mediators outside, Qingyun was able to concentrate all resources and now could deal with Huaban with all his might.

Li Zehua is really determined!
If Huaban disagrees, then we’ll fight to the end until one of them completely collapses.

Because Qingyun will not tolerate a core intelligent manufacturing enterprise that is separated from the system. Even a three-year-old child understands this.

State support resources are always limited, and with two core groups competing for them, if Qingyun gets more, Huaban will get less, and conflicts will always arise. There is no way out of this struggle for core interests.

Sooner or later, the two groups will be on opposite sides of each other. At present, Qingyun has a great chance of winning as it holds the right to speak in the upstream and downstream of the industry.

But will the petals, who have failed, be willing to accept this?
Will economies like Hans, America, and Jiaobenji sit idly by and watch Qingyun completely suppress Huaban, and will they tolerate Dongda's complete surpassing?

Once the 15-year plan of Dongda Intelligent Manufacturing achieves significant and complete success, all the economies in the world combined will be no match for it. It will lead the world economic development for years and enjoy unique advantages.

Are the European and American economies, which have reaped the benefits of development and enjoyed excess profits in numerous industries, mentally prepared to accept the establishment of a new global order by the University of Tokyo?
They can only watch hegemony slip away and watch the University of East China take the best piece of fat meat onto their plates, while the European and American economies squat in the corner and gnaw on bones, becoming the resource suppliers of the University of East China.

Become a dumping ground for Dongda’s industrial products, and have to act according to Dongda’s wishes from now on?
It's impossible. As long as there is the slightest sign, the European and American economies will take decisive action and do everything possible to suppress Qingyun, using the same suffocating means against Dongda and Qingyun.

The petals will then become the best breakthrough point, facing the temptation of trillions or even tens of trillions of dollars, and facing the huge real benefits of becoming a god in one battle and reaching the top in one battle.

Where should the petals go?

Qingyun is merely fighting a preventive targeted war, just like an ancient emperor facing a general who has no more titles to offer and no more rewards to give, regardless of whether he has the ambition to take the last step.

As long as he has the strength and there is a one in ten thousand chance of potential threat, the emperor would be unable to sleep all night. Even if it means risking the loss of popular support, he must strike first.

Huaban and the people who came forward to try to mediate have not yet had access to the top-secret 15-year future manufacturing development plan, so they are not aware that the telecommunications business has been elevated by the country to a key strategic level.

They couldn't understand why Qingyun suddenly turned against him, and just thought that Li Zehua was mentally ill and was still trying to persuade him to return to the right path.

The very few bigwigs at the top who know the inside story are just watching and waiting for the outcome of events. This concerns the core strategy for the future trend of the entire economy, and it is extremely difficult to succeed.

During this period, we will have to face open and covert attacks from other economies. The cruelty of the competition for national destiny is beyond anyone's imagination. There are countless bones and unknown heroes. I don't know how many people will pay the price with their lives.

Many of them don't even leave their names behind, they only have a simple code name. The process of every super economy rising to the top is inevitably accompanied by huge shocks in the world situation.

Similar examples abound in the past five thousand years of Todai’s history.

In world history, let’s not even mention the first two wars, the Sea Coachman, but only talk about the struggle for world hegemony between Britain and Germany, and the two world wars that broke out. Billions of people died, and more than trillions of wealth was lost.

In contrast, the competition between two mere larger poisonous insects for the top spot in a private enterprise with a specific executive identity is fierce and brutal.

Their methods and behaviors are generally within the scope permitted by the rules. As long as they are not too excessive and do not target key figures, the higher-ups will not intervene too much, and at most will intervene only when the competition is decided.

Enter the market to draw a bottom line and stop one party from completely swallowing up the other, so as to leave sufficient backup plans so that there will be no chips to restrain in case of changes in the future.

For the loser, the ending is undoubtedly very cruel. As a chess piece, especially a losing chess piece, it can only be forced to leave the game midway and watch the winner soar to the sky and enjoy the glory alone.

What awaits it must be a long period of lurking, quietly licking its wounds in an unattended corner, occasionally eating some leftovers thrown by the upper class, and being guaranteed not to starve to death is a great blessing from heaven.

If the winner gets too proud of himself and out of control one day, the loser may still be able to see the light of day and make a comeback.

Otherwise, the loser will never be able to turn things around.

Of course, this hypothetical preset position is meaningless, but investors will never sit idly by and watch their last penny being wasted meaninglessly. Can investing money in a business be supported by emotions?

Both parties have no choice. As long as they can win, it doesn’t matter what means they use or who they cooperate with. Whoever can bring greater benefits will be a temporary friend!
Therefore, this is why Qingyun must acquire a controlling stake in Huaban. No one would be foolish enough to hand over the lifeline of smart manufacturing and telecommunications to a third party, especially when there is natural competition between the two parties.

The reason why Huaban refused was very simple. Who knew if Qingyun wanted to take the opportunity to swallow up Huaban? Mr. Ren had experienced many ups and downs, so how could he trust others so easily? The promise was just a piece of waste paper.

Even if Wu Yibin took BYD Group, Qingyun AutoNavi Maps, Dajiang Technology, Gohigh Technology, and Modou Microelectronics (which has been controlled by Qingyun and injected with the full set of technology of the Footpen Chicken lithography machine) as examples.

Especially when it comes to BOE Semiconductor, after SMIC introduced Qing Yun as its largest shareholder, its development momentum was also very good, and Qing Yun had hardly made any major interference.

He tried to persuade Huaban to accept Qingyun as a shareholder.

"We are not three-year-old children. Others are others, and here are petals. I don't know why Li Zehua suddenly went crazy, and I don't know who gave him the confidence.

Anyway, if Qingyun wants to use force, Huaban will fight to the end."

Ren Huaban interrupted Wu Yibin's next speech without any hesitation, "You are not qualified to talk to me. Let Li Zehua come in person. I want to see how he dismembers the entire Huaban in front of me."

Ren Huaban calmed down and turned to Cheng Dongxian and said, "It's going to rain, and Niang is going to get married. We can't stop it, so let it go.

Huaban has never been, is not now, and will never be anyone's puppet company. The hundreds of thousands of Huaban shareholding employees will not accept any form of blackmail.

Since Qingyun is determined to cut off all cooperation with Huaban, we can only accept it calmly and make corresponding counterattacks.

You should check now and thoroughly investigate all the cooperation projects and find out who should be held responsible. Then let the group legal department liaise with Qingyun.

I want to see how much wronged money this confused guy can compensate. Does he think that this trick can scare Huaban and extort a lot of money from us?
Huaban will never compromise on his grand dream! At worst, both sides will be ruined."

Rather than speaking to Chengdong first, it was more like persuading Wu Yibin at the last minute, trying to get him to persuade Li Zehua to stop, after all, the two groups had too many and too wide cooperation projects. Once the complete termination, it would be a huge disaster for both parties. Qingyun has financing from financial channels such as Minsheng Finance, Micropayment, and Xingcheng Bank, and has close relations with the five major banks.

Even if a hard decoupling results in heavy losses, massive financial replenishment can be obtained at any time and the vitality can be quickly recovered. However, Huaban has invested huge human and material resources in these collaborations.

Even if there is a penalty for breach of contract as guaranteed in the contract, it will still cause serious losses. After all, before signing most cooperation contracts, the group did not consider the hidden danger of the chairman of Qingyun Group suddenly going crazy when assessing the risks.

Therefore, when faced with olive branches extended by strategic allies, the restrictive penalty clauses, including those for breach of contract, are of very limited severity and may pose a fatal threat to small companies.

But for Qingyun, who is rich enough to rival a country, it is just a tickle. Besides, the penalty for breach of contract is not so easy to get. Both parties are large groups and have plenty of money to play the game of quibbling.

If the matter is delayed any longer, it may take two or three years before full compensation can be obtained. Coupled with the inevitable interference of off-site factors, the future of Huaban is bound to be deeply affected by this farce.

It is even possible that you will never recover.

Wu Yibin could only smile bitterly, "The chairman has made up his mind, and no one can change it."

Chengdong first held the cup, his face livid, his heart almost out of control, he wished he could replace the cup with a metal one so that when he smashed it, he could kill the other person.

Unfortunately, his remaining rationality restrained him, and he could only say angrily: "Mr. Wu, the sun is getting late, and it will soon hail outside (it would be best if it killed us). We still have things to discuss, so we won't keep you here."

Faced with Cheng Dongxian, who was so angry that his language and logic system were disordered, Wu Yibin dared not stay. He ran away as soon as he heard the words, fearing that if he ran too slowly, he would be beaten to death by the angry Huaban crowd.

Just as he stepped out of the door, within a second, there was a loud noise from behind, as if something hit the door.

It was a teacup, but now it was broken into pieces.

He was so angry that his whole body turned cold as he let the petals hit him. He gritted his teeth and said, "What a calculation! No wonder we have defeated ZTE and Nokia in succession since the second half of last year and won a large number of Qingyun business bids.

It turns out that it was all for the purpose of dragging the petals into the water today."

Cheng Dong was too weak to open his mouth. As Ren Huaban's right-hand man, how could he not know the total scale of the cooperation between Huaban and Qingyun in the past year or so.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is a matter of life and death.

Assuming that Huaban is a listed company, as soon as this news gets out, ten consecutive limit downs would be the least of its problems. It would be just like the Apple supply chain companies in later generations, which would never cooperate in the face of Apple's total ban.

Then we can just sit back and arrange for bankruptcy liquidation.

Although Huaban was already a giant in the telecommunications equipment manufacturing and technology fields at that time, it was still being watched covetously by Nokia, Qualcomm, Oracle, and Ericsson from outside, and by ZTE and Datang from within.

It is not yet a telecom technology giant that dominates the market, nor is it as prosperous as it was in the past, occupying 4/1 of the 3G network application market, 5/1 of the 2G network application patents, and leading the 6G trend.

The super giant that pioneered the 7G concept and took the lead in testing commercial networks.

In 2011/2012, its revenue was less than 2500 billion yuan, and its net profit was just over 100 billion yuan. Moreover, due to the sudden emergence of Qingyun, it deliberately set up a trap.

In the first half of 2012 alone, Qingyun signed contracts with Huaban worth more than 400 billion yuan through various channels, plus the remaining value of contracts signed in the second half of 2011 that have not been executed.

总规模超过600亿元，占到花瓣2012年预估营收的1/4还要多，其中未结算的应收账款超过1/3，这极大挤占了花瓣的日常流动资金。

Many of these funds are short-term or medium-term loans borrowed from financial institutions by mortgaging the value of the contract. Once the cooperation is terminated irreversibly and the financial institutions come to collect the debts, it will be enough to make Huaban miserable.

For any company, future long-term development plans, market share, and technological advantages will be useless at the critical moment.

Cash flow and a stable and healthy current amount of disposable funds are the most important, no doubt about it!

Just think about it, for someone who is lost in the desert and is about to die of thirst in the next second, what is the point of giving him 100 billion wealth or 1,000 tons of gold?

As long as we cannot buy life-saving water resources immediately, no matter how bright the future is, it will be like a moon in the water or a flower in the mirror. People are dead, so what is the point of having a future?

Now the petals are facing this fatal problem!

After Wu Yibin left, Ren Huaban and Cheng Dongxian immediately called together a group of core management personnel, roughly reviewed the total scale of cooperation with Qingyun, and came to a preliminary conclusion in a few words.

Everyone was shocked. Huaban was at a critical moment of life and death, and half of her foot had fallen into the abyss.

Cheng Dongxian had to admit, "Once Qingyun publicly announces the termination of cooperation, all the raw materials, technical equipment investments prepared in advance for the cooperation will be buried in the company's warehouse and gather dust.

The equipment and customized technology specially produced for it and the initial investment have all been wasted. Preliminary estimates show that the direct economic losses are more than 20 billion yuan, and this money can only be recovered slowly in court.

Not to mention the passive breach of the procurement contract, the introduction of third-party technical cooperation and the early recruitment of scientific research, sales, and service teams in response to the subsequent expansion of cooperation.

Once all are terminated, cash flow will dry up immediately and the company will inevitably fall into a liquidity crisis. By then, the number of employees to be laid off may be as high as tens of thousands, and investments in all aspects will be cut. Alas.

There is also the relationship with supply chain manufacturers and feedback from other customers in the market. It is impossible to tell how bad the impact is and how severe the situation is. We only know that it is a pain that the company cannot afford.

The most conservative estimate is that it will take at least three to five years to recover. In short, the difficulties we are facing this time are unprecedentedly serious. If things go wrong, the entire company will be completely dragged down."

Speaking of this, his face was full of bitterness, almost desperate, “The most important thing is that Qingyun is in the upper echelons, has a strong network of connections with Yuedong, and has an even better relationship with financial institutions.

If the cooperation is terminated and the relationship is completely broken, Qingyun will inevitably use its financial advantages to obstruct the group's financing progress, which will further deepen the company's operating crisis.

Even if the company gets the funds after going through untold hardships, the interest rate is bound to be ridiculously high, which will cause the company to be burdened with huge debt risks and fall into an even more extreme predicament..."

At the end of his speech, he could hardly speak, because every word he said was filled with extreme pain.

"That's enough. Take a break first. Don't torture yourself with other people's mistakes. As the saying goes, things will work out when the time comes. There will always be a solution."

Ren Huaban couldn't bear it, so she patted his shoulder to comfort him, and then asked Liang Hua, the supply chain manager, for his opinion.

The latter had just returned to the company and had not yet entered the office when he was urgently pulled into a meeting. He is still in a state of shock and out of control, with only one idea in his mind: Is this a historic April Fool's Day joke?
But seeing the gloomy mood of everyone present, their faces were livid and they definitely didn't look like they were joking. In addition to being shocked, he forced his thoughts around, but the conclusion he came to was similar to Cheng Dongxian's.

Faced with Qingyun, which has an absolute advantage in the industrial ecological chain, Huaban does not seem to have many ways to break through.

Ren Huaban was silent for a moment, and after a while, he did not give up and asked another general, Hu Houkun, the then rotating CEO of Huaban, for his opinion. The latter looked at the gloomy look on the scene.

He carefully organized his words and said, "Everyone has said what needs to be said. Chairman, I am not expressing my opinions for personal gain, but based on the interests of the group company.

Excuse me, is there really no possibility of compromise with Qingyun?"

He didn't dare to say the following words because Cheng Dongxian's murderous eyes swept over him instantly, making his hair stand on end.

Ren Huaban stretched out his hand and shook it down, and said in a deep voice: “One step back, step back, Qingyun can use cooperation to threaten the group to make concessions and hand over one-third of the equity today.

What should I do if he threatens to expand cooperation tomorrow and demands controlling rights of the company?
Since its establishment, Huaban has always been fearless and courageous. Even if we encounter greater difficulties, we will work together to find a way out.

Ladies and gentlemen, do not lose your composure in the face of a powerful enemy. Even if we do not consider ourselves, we must consider the future of the group’s hundreds of thousands of shareholding employees!

Qingyun's pretentious blackmail can't scare anyone. There are still rules and restrictions in this world. They are unreasonable and trample on the bottom line. We will find units and people who can control them. "

Having said that, Ren Huaban was still unsure, but now she could only bite the bullet and press forward, hoping that Yan Jing could intervene to mediate and settle the dispute.

So after arranging the company's internal response plan, he immediately came forward in person and found Mr. Wang in Pengcheng, and through the latter, he contacted Mr. Wang who had already gone north~
That night, an emergency charter flight from Pengcheng to Yanjing took off in the dim night... (End of this chapter)
