Chapter 696: Even the Elderly Are Not Spared

"…He is decisive in killing, and can let go at the critical moment. He is not burdened by false reputation. I have never seen such a person before. He is a true hero."

Mr. Ren has experienced many ups and downs in his life. What has he not experienced?
But when facing Qingyun Li Zehua, he was still amazed. Facing a guy who had an absolute crushing advantage but didn't play by the rules, he really had no choice.

Look at the other party's ingenious and decisive layout. It is obvious that he has figured out Huaban's details. He went straight in without any test. When forceful acquisition failed, he brazenly overturned the table and forced Huaban into a desperate situation.

But at the critical moment, he did not harm the overall situation and extended a hand of friendship before the situation got out of control. In this way, those forces who were disgusted with Qingyun's overbearing and intolerant style.

The connections accumulated during the development of Huaban and the forces that are consistent with the interests of the company make it impossible for them to make up their minds to fight Qingyun. If pushed to the limit, they will even use the excuse that the situation may get out of control and cannot be cleaned up.

Who dares to assert that it won’t create an unmanageable mess?

If the matter gets really out of hand, the higher-ups will surely take action, and both sides will be given a lash of the sword. Huaban is already weak and at a disadvantage, and if she is held accountable, what future does she have?

Even the originally solid management of the company will inevitably hesitate when faced with a desperate situation. How can they not be tempted when suddenly faced with an olive branch extended by Qingyun?

Just as the other party said, is there any difference whether Qingyun absorbs Huaban or Huaban merges part of Qingyun's business and continues to maintain independent operation?
Qingyun's goal is to acquire a controlling stake in Huaban and control the future development decisions of its own company, thereby laying a solid foundation for Qingyun to seize the strategic initiative in intelligent manufacturing.

This kind of paranoid person who will not give up until the goal is achieved, who does not care about the process or face, and only cares about real benefits, is often the most difficult competitor to deal with.

Cheng Dongxian, who rushed over from Pengcheng to join them, was cautiously optimistic and skeptical. "Is he that strong? Those methods look scary, but they are hard to implement.

Can it really completely suppress the company and leave the group with no way out?

Besides, is it possible that the message he sent through Mr. Zhang was a bluff of blackmail?"

"Is it blackmail or not that makes you so anxious and makes Mr. Zhang personally pass on the message? Don't you know what's going on?"

Mr. Ren sighed, "What a great move to win without fighting. The way out has been given. If you don't know the general situation, you will probably face a violent suppression next.

Unfortunately, we are not strong enough, and even if we understand it, we can’t do anything about it. Qingyun has clearly revealed his cards, but who has the ability to break the impasse?
Rather than being completely suppressed and falling into despair, and then accepting other people's charity in a miserable state, it is better to give up cleanly and admit defeat, and strive for better treatment while there is still strength left in your hands.

how is it? "

He seemed to be warning Cheng Dongxian and asking for the opinion of Mr. Wang from Pengcheng, but in fact he was trying to convince himself. After all, Qingyun's comprehensive decoupling plan had begun to show its great power.

ICBC, ABC and Shenzhen Development Bank all have branch-level managers who came in person to test the waters. If nothing unexpected happens, the next step will be to collect the money, so forget about adding new credit limits.

Financial institutions are known for giving out umbrellas when it's sunny and taking them away when it rains. It's impossible to expect them to share the good and bad times with you.

Smoking dai as usual is just a temporary pain, and the tight capital chain is not fatal. Just grit your teeth and persevere. With the network of contacts that Huaban has accumulated in the past, Difang Group may be able to help.

But facing Qingyun, which has a closer relationship with Difang Group, who dares to take the lead?
Add to that the unexecuted contracts that have been completely terminated, the unpaid bills and liquidated damages of upstream and downstream companies, and the shortfall is more than hundreds of billions. More importantly, there is a complete hostility between the company and Qingyun.

In the future, overseas markets will face comprehensive competition from Qingyun. All these factors will inevitably cast a shadow on the future development of Huaban. Even if investors want to enter the market, they will put forward extremely harsh conditions.

Rather than bearing extreme pressure in the future, it would be better to accept Qingyun and form a community of interests. With the help of Qingyun's golden signboard, Huaban may be able to go further.

For example, becoming the global leader in the field of telecommunications equipment technology and becoming a maker of industry rules.

Mr. Wang of Pengcheng smiled bitterly and said, "It is not easy for me, an outsider, to make arbitrary judgments on major matters involving the company's business decision-making level, but if Mr. Ren agrees, I can talk to Mr. Li first.

How about finding out his specific requirements and if Mr. Ren thinks it is suitable, then we can discuss it with him in detail?"

Ren Huaban did not refuse. There was not much he could do at this point. He could either accept that Huaban was beaten half paralyzed by Qingyun, or use the chips in his hand to get a good price before the worst result happened.

"Well, I'll trouble you, Mr. Wang, to put it bluntly, it's better to leave the petals to Qingyun than to let foreign capital control them."

Mr. Wang of Pengcheng felt very sorry. After all, the large-scale cooperation between Qingyun and Huaban was brought about by his great efforts, but he never expected that the strong alliance would not come into being.

On the contrary, it was a bit like inviting a wolf into the house. Even if Mr. Ren didn't blame him, he still wanted to make amends.

So I discussed with Mr. Ren the conditions that Ye Ye Qing Yun might propose (the confidentiality level of the smart manufacturing strategy was too high and they didn't know about it), and prepared response plans for each one.

I waited until two or three in the morning, filled a notebook with notes, and exchanged opinions on most possibilities before going to bed. I slept for only two hours before dawn, and found Mr. Li's residence...

People are in high spirits when good things happen. Li Zehua, who had just fallen asleep after a night of tossing and turning, was very surprised, "Are you sure that Mr. Wang is talking about being entrusted by Mr. Huaban Ren to come and mediate?"

Liu Ziliang, who was in charge of reception at the gate, found an excuse to report to a deserted place and repeatedly assured: "Boss Wang told me this himself, it is definitely correct."

"Okay, please invite Mr. Wang to the reception room and treat him well. I'll wash my face and come down."

Li Zehua hung up the phone and pushed Lin Qingyi, who was lying on his belly, away. Lin Qingyi wiped her hazy eyes and muttered, "Who is it? You're disturbing me so early. Can't you let me rest? I'm so annoyed."

"What are you so upset about? You just eat and sleep all day. I'm really fed up with you. Can't you learn Whispering and learn some more skills while you're still young?

How many years can you keep entertaining people with music and beauty?
If you continue to be so lazy, I will kick you out sooner or later."

Li Zehua slapped her in anger, causing waves to form, and while Wu Qingyu was helping him get dressed, he said, “By the way, the situation has changed a bit, so you two can go to Xiangjiang to play by yourselves.

I might join you there when I'm done."

"Ah? I just agreed to it last night. I finally got to go shopping with you. It's really a bummer."

Lin Qingyi lost her sleepiness instantly. She hugged his neck from behind and pressed her whole body on his shoulders. A little bit of tender light peeked out from her head, and she looked extremely attractive without any clothes on.

Li Zehua pulled up his trousers and said in a tough tone, "Thank you for accompanying me shopping in person, but how can you say that out loud?"

Lin Qingyi laughed and said, "I am usually very busy, too. If you don't believe me, ask Qingyu. I am always busy with things.

Look, her feet are all wrinkled."

Li slapped away the foot that was rubbing against his belly and said disdainfully, "With the amount of exercise you do all day, a bite from a five-step snake wouldn't even cause any venom.

Exercise is bullshit!"

Wu Qingyu covered her mouth and giggled, Lin Qingyi was furious, but Li Zehua didn't have time to continue enjoying the tenderness. He put on his coat and strode out.

"I told you to laugh secretly, I told you not to help me, I told you to shout louder than me last night, humph~"

Lin Qingyi is a typical bully. She couldn't do anything to Li, but she didn't let Wu Qingyu go. The latter was instantly defeated by her tickling attack. She rolled over and over and couldn't dodge in time, and was forced to beg for mercy again and again...

"I am so sorry for not welcoming you, Mr. Wang. What a blessing it is to have you here! It is such a great honor to be here!"

Li Zehua was confident of victory and in a good mood. He even had the leisure to joke, "Could it be that the good day is approaching and he is going to Beijing to report on his work in advance?"

Things that had been planned are about to encounter twists and turns.

So right from the start, he got straight to the point, "Huaban Ren is willing to compromise, Mr. Li, why don't you just ask for any conditions? If it's feasible, I'll set a time to help the two of you resolve the misunderstanding, how about that?"

"That's great. Since President Wang has come in person, we have to give him this honor."

As soon as Li Zehua saw his expression, he knew that Mr. Ren did not know the inside story of the smart manufacturing strategy. If he knew, it would be difficult for him to compromise in the first place.

Because once this strategy is implemented, it will certainly increase Qingyun's importance, but at the same time, it will also cover the petals with a layer of protective golden light, and he doesn't want to cause any more trouble.

Simply put the conditions out in the open: "51% of Huaban shares can sign a concerted action authorization agreement with Mr. Ren, fully entrusting Mr. Ren and the existing management team to continue to manage the company. As long as Mr. Ren is willing to take charge of Huaban, Qingyun will never attempt to interfere with the management rights of Huaban, including the nomination and appointment of the next chairman to succeed Mr. Ren, all of which will be decided by Mr. Ren.

As long as there is no major event that affects the significant changes in shareholders' rights and interests and does not involve Qingyun's core interests, Qingyun will never interfere in the internal management of Huaban.

Qingyun promised to unconditionally inject all of its telecommunications businesses into Huaban and share all the patents acquired from Lucent and Nokia (involving tens of thousands of basic patents and application patents, which are very tempting to Huaban).

In return, Huaban will also unconditionally open up all patent usage rights to Qingyun Shared, and will not transfer them to any third party without Huaban's authorization, and will reserve the rights and obligations of joint accountability.

After Qingyun acquired a stake in Huaban, it did not seek to go public to cash out, and opened up all financial financing channels required for normal operations..."

Mr. Wang listened quietly, but his heart was in turmoil, because Qingyun's sincerity was too generous. In summary, a few points were enough to impress the management of Huaban, especially Mr. Ren.

In the past, he needed to rely on the employee stock ownership platform to indirectly gain the right to speak, and when making major decisions during the business management process, he needed to fully listen to and respect the opinions of other core management.

Now, as long as Mr. Ren gives his nod, the agreement on joint action for 51% of the shares is signed, and he promises not to be replaced in any form, he will actually be the largest controlling shareholder.

In addition, the existing management team will be retained, all funding needs required for development will be resolved, Huaban’s development philosophy of technology being king will be respected, all telecom-related businesses will be injected into Qingyun, and overseas market resource support will be provided, etc.

Even an outsider like him was tempted by these conditions. At the same time, he was not worried that Qingyun would change its mind midway, because the higher-ups were watching them all the time, and the cost of breaking the contract would be unbearable even for Li Zehua.

After figuring this out, all his stress disappeared and he immediately took out his phone and called Ren Huaban who was waiting for good news from him.

After simply repeating Li Zehua's promise, Ren Huaban on the other end of the phone was stunned. Cheng Dongxian, who was listening to the loudspeaker, was also stunned. What a joke!
You should have told me these conditions earlier. As for the fight to the death (actually it was a one-sided beating), wouldn’t it be better to directly introduce Qingyun Capital to make it bigger and stronger?

At present, Huaban has not yet established its technological hegemony in the 5G era, nor is it a top business entity that has made major breakthroughs in the consumer electronics field, despite its annual revenue of over billion yuan.

But after deducting various necessary costs and technology research and development investment, the net profit is only a pitiful 10 billion yuan. The key is that there are too many places to spend money, the debt remains high, and the management is anxious and worried.

3G technology started late and couldn't squeeze in, and 4G has not yet been widely used. It is in a period of transition from the old to the new, and the landlord has no surplus food. If Qingyun had known this, he would not have wanted to take care of anything.

He was also trying to get all kinds of resources to him, but that was all he could do. Mr. Ren only had time to say, "I'll be over for the interview right away."

He hung up the phone in a hurry.

President Wang was speechless and laughed out loud, "What kind of thing is this? You guys made such a big fuss, but in the end, after a few words, both sides rushed to the front. It was really in vain. It just made us housekeepers sleepless!"

"Come on, without all these back-up plans, can Huaban sit down and talk properly?"

Li Zehua shook his head. “It’s been more than a year since we first discussed investing, from holding to strategic investment of 25%, and there have been as many as five formal contacts.

Huaban has never made an official response. In the final analysis, it is just relying on its unique monopoly position in the industry and is fearless.

Now, let's get rid of this arrogance, let them see their true strength, and recognize the gap in power. Only then can we discuss the rest. Otherwise, even if we can get in touch, who knows how many unrealistic conditions they will offer."

Mr. Wang doesn't care about all this. As long as there is no fighting, it has nothing to do with him. He just came here to be a witness.

While waiting, he chatted with Li Zehua to pass the time, but his words were all tests, trying to find out the reason why Li Zehua suddenly attacked.

The latter perked up and countered the opponent's moves, but refused to reveal any details. "Boss Wang, please don't embarrass me. In just a short while, more than half of my brain cells have been lost. I don't know how to face Boss Ren later."

Mr. Wang then gave up. "You are a shrewd kid. There must be a reason for this. Well, I won't ask anymore. After you have figured it out, don't forget to tell me the real reason."

Unfortunately, no matter how he guessed, he could never have imagined that the petals would be so helpful to the future smart industry, and even play a decisive role.

What is even more unexpected is that the Qingyun Group, which appears to span many industries including the Internet, mobile Internet, finance, Internet finance, agriculture, and consumer electronics, is essentially a manufacturing group.

Who could have guessed this?

At this time, there are no more than 20 people in the world who know about the -year strategy for smart manufacturing (the drafters responsible for each part cannot see the whole picture).

It will not be officially announced until the meeting at the beginning of next year.

I guess by then, Huaban will be so angry that she will jump up and down, thinking that she is the most important one?
Of course, Li Zehua has paid so much and also has his own core interests~
That is, the core data generated by Huaban's subsequent operations must be handled exclusively by Qingyun Big Data Center. Without Qingyun's permission, even Huaban itself is not allowed to use it for other purposes.

(You can develop your own artificial intelligence, big data, and industrial robots, but you are not allowed to license them to third parties without Qingyun’s consent.)
"this?"

Mr. Ren and Cheng Dongxian, who arrived in a hurry, were very puzzled. After all this time, was this the thing Qingyun was aiming at?
The operating data and information that has been generated is certainly important, and spreading it out will affect Huaban's future business operations. But once Qingyun has reached an agreement, as Huaban's controlling shareholder, this thing is open to anyone to look at.

Is it that important?

"You two don't have to doubt my sincerity. In fact, I can also make it very clear that business data security is Qingyun's biggest need for Huaban!"

Li Zehua spread his hands and said solemnly: "I am not too interested in Huaban, or even in the telecommunications equipment technology business itself, and Qingyun has no intention of getting involved in too many fields.

Human energy is limited. As long as Mr. Ren is in office, the petals will always be yours. I only want information data derivatives and a veto over major matters involving Qingyun.

You two can get all the support from Qingyun system. As the saying goes, if we work together, we both benefit. If we separate, that's all. Without this proposal, you two can consider it slowly. We can even propose a gentleman's agreement.

If you two agree, I can reveal the answer now.

Mr. Wang can be a witness here. Whoever regrets the decision can reserve the right to pursue the claim indefinitely. How do you think?"

"Okay, let us think about it and give you an answer later."

Mr. Ren and Chengdong walked aside first and discussed for a while, but there was actually nothing to say, because even if Qingyun wanted this thing, they couldn't stop it.

It’s just that even Huaban itself cannot transfer the authorization without permission, which is a bit strange, as if there are unknown treasures hidden in the massive amount of information, but what exactly is it?

Petals and the other two haven't figured it out yet. After all, although Hans' Smart Industry 4.0 has proposed a conceptual development blueprint, it is still in the confidential stage. Nokia and Ericsson do know something about it.

But core business secrets will definitely not be disclosed to Huaban. Perhaps in two years, when Europe finds that it cannot handle smart Industry 4.0 on its own, it will come to Huaban for help.

Unfortunately, the time difference of these two years is enough for Qingyun to complete its layout, an artificial intelligence big data, and an industrial robot industry chain, which is enough to ensure that Qingyun will continue to be glorious for another 50 years!
Ren Huaban finally compromised. As long as Huaban could develop well and share Qingyun's vast resources, it could ensure that its own interests would not only not be damaged but also achieve leapfrog growth.

There are only benefits and no disadvantages in cooperating with Qingyun, and the consequences of refusing are something that the entire Huaban cannot afford.

Cheng Dong first wanted to bargain, but Li Zehua said, "I heard that Mr. Cheng wants to stop OEM and develop the flagship series of petals?

No problem. With just a word from President Cheng, all of Qingyun Panda's resources can be opened up, and Modou Microelectronics' first domestically produced, leading-edge lithography machine is about to roll off the production line.

Next, Qingyun can fully complement Huaban’s advantages in the field of chip design and production..."

Cheng Dong was shocked and was knocked out in one move. He kept asking for the inside story. Li Zehua had no choice but to call Liu Ziliang over to explain to him.

Facing Ren Huaban who accepted everything, he only had one sentence, "Huanban's business data information will be of irreplaceable help to the future manufacturing industry."

"manufacturing?"

Ren Huaban always felt that something was strange, but she couldn't figure out what the problem was until the meeting in March 13, when the details of the smart manufacturing strategic plan leaked out from internal channels.

Only then did he suddenly realize what was going on, and then he cried out that he had been deceived and threatened to settle the score with Mr. Li...
