Winner Takes It All, Resurrection 2009

Chapter 724: Bell Labs of the East

In terms of the general direction, the top management makes the decisions, and the people below improve the details and continuously optimize them. As more news comes out, the various forces waiting and watching outside finally breathe a sigh of relief.

At least Qingyun Group has no intention of killing all the enemies, especially for capital groups in the forestry processing industry, medical industry and manufacturing industry, the crisis will be eliminated.

On the contrary, Qingyun has benefited greatly from the change from direct and head-on competition to supporting and guiding differentiation.

In terms of raw material supply, such as centralized auctions of forest resources and quota management of bulk commodity imports, they are actually beneficial to most people and have changed the entry threshold restrictions of the past monopoly operations.

Only for a very few business groups, Qingyun, which controls huge resources, wants to use its control over resources to win over small and medium-sized enterprises and reshuffle the industry, which will seriously affect their interests.

But unfortunately, most people, including the government, stand on Qingyun's side. With their power, no one is willing to follow them even if they want to make trouble~
“This is momentum!”

On the way to inspect CATL, the governor was filled with emotion, "Being the biggest in the industry does not mean that your power must be able to overwhelm everyone else.

Even with Qingyun's current size, it is impossible to perfectly suppress domestic squid capital, not to mention that they are bigger outside.

Now that you are finally more mature in your work, we can relax a little bit."

The one who could take over such a big job at this time must be that person's absolute confidant. He would not hide anything when talking to Li Zehua, not to mention that there was no outsider in the car.

Li Zehua humbly accepted the advice, and the governor continued: "I don't know how to make money in business, but there is one thing that is common, that is, the more people you can lead to make money, the louder your voice will be.

Being big does not necessarily mean being strong, but if you can set rules with the support of the majority and put your strength into how to maintain these rules, you can maintain a stable situation.

If you can continuously obtain stable profits by maintaining the rules, then it will be difficult for any external challenger to break into your circle.

Discover this power, treat it well, manage it well and use it for your own benefit, and you will benefit greatly throughout your life. "

Li Zehua nodded, and then said: "The new circle is relatively easy to handle. After all, it is a blank slate. With the support of you and the uncles, the most favorable rules for Dongda will be established from the beginning.

(For example, service industry, food delivery, express delivery, online car-hailing, Internet finance, domestic operating systems, chip lithography machines, industrial robots, drones, etc.)
However, the power batteries developed by Times New Energy are actually derived from consumer electronic battery products. In this area, Jiaobenji has been in the industry for a longer time.

Even Zeng Yumin was set up and forced to sell his mobile phone battery factory. Now ATL is repeating the same trick, trying to seize the registration of basic lithium battery patents and relying on its huge domestic technology accumulation.

In an attempt to force us to make concessions, this half-new and half-old circle rule will easily trigger a new round of melee and even cause turmoil in our layout in South America and Australia.

I am unwilling to retreat because this is the country's core strategic positioning for the future of the automotive industry, and it is the result of Qingyun's huge investment of manpower and material resources and countless hard work.

Why should we give a big piece of cake to the chicken? "

Other financial groups behind ATL have put pressure on Qingyun more than once, using chips including key raw materials such as copper, iron, nickel, tin and aluminum from South America and Australia controlled by the three major mining groups.

There are also tens of millions of tons of corn, soybeans, wheat, and barley import and export resources in Samba and other places every year, as long as Qingyun does not stop investing in lithium mines, gold mines and other key resources around the world.

Or if they do not continue to purchase these super-high-priced resources from European and American chicken companies, they will be strangled by them in terms of other important raw materials.

This is the benefit of having the first-mover advantage. Latecomers are shocked to discover this when they finally emerge from the international trade competition after going through untold hardships.

The world's few major resources are basically all taken up by the economies that developed first, and they rely on alliances to formulate strict rules and regulations for latecomers.

They attempted to force latecomers to hand over most of their development achievements by leveraging the advantages of the system they had built, such as the so-called centralized procurement of iron ore and the collusion between China Steel and the three major mining companies.

Create a responsive price mechanism, that is, all powerful steel companies in the world must negotiate the annual purchase price with the three major mines. Please note that this is not an individual negotiation.

Instead, among these steel companies that have formed a group, one will take the initiative to make an offer and reach an agreement with the three major mining groups. Then all remaining steel companies must unconditionally abide by this guidance price.

The problem is that the chicken enterprises have acquired shares in the three major mining groups by controlling other companies behind the scenes. Even if they offer sky-high prices, it is nothing more than transferring money from one hand to the other, and at most they will split the profits later.

But for major Dongda companies, abiding by the rules means losing hundreds of billions of extra purchasing funds every year. Most of the so-called excess profits in the industry are taken away by foreign capital in various forms.

If we fail to abide by the rules, we will face the difficulties of being strangled, having no raw materials to produce, and overcoming difficulties to produce products, and being sanctioned in the international market.

In the past, Dongda had no choice, but now with the capital from Jiangsu and Zhejiang retreating behind the scenes and the capital groups headed by Qingyun Group representing the core interests of Dongda coming to power, everything must change.

A new round of violent clashes is inevitable.

The steel industry alone faces a loss of hundreds of billions of dollars every year. What about other industries that rely on external raw materials?

In particular, those companies that rely on basic patents and suck blood from the University of Tokyo earn hundreds of billions of excess profits every year, but in turn set up various obstacles for the development of the University of Tokyo.

Li Zehua couldn't bear it, but he didn't dare to make a decision easily. After all, this was a battle for the country's destiny. If he couldn't get the approval of most of the groups, Qingyun's family would act rashly and it was very likely that the current advantageous situation would be destroyed.

Fortunately, almost everyone I talked to face to face expressed full understanding, including the person in front of me. "What is there to hesitate about? Just follow the rules, and no one can find fault with it.

If the outcome really comes to a head, Europe and the United States are certainly strong together, and it is worth the University of Tokyo to go all out and deal with them cautiously, but when has a mere chicken in a basin ever been qualified to sit on the table and make decisions? "

"If that's what you mean, then I'm going to go all out when I go to Times to meet Mr. Zeng, right?"

Li Zehua further probed: "For example, ATL wants to send a vice chairman here."

The governor sneered, "How could you allow outsiders to get involved in Qingyun's core location?"

"Hehe, this is because I'm worried that the external pressure will be too great and cause trouble for my brother."

Li Zehua had an idea in his mind and stopped hesitating. What about sending professional talents? Go away.

The nationwide professional talents that Qingyun has recruited are enough to support the continuous breakthroughs in power technology. He is not afraid even if small-scale enterprises continue to interfere and rush to register new patents.

Because most basic patents have alternatives, even if you occasionally encounter a core patent, the worst that can happen is that you'll just waste some money. I don't need it, okay? I hope to win easily by following Dongda New Energy.

Is it also suitable for chicken in a basin?
As for the patent review standards, Qingyun can completely introduce a more stringent testing system. If you want to overtake others by falsifying information, you will never succeed in your next life!

So, when they arrived at the Times New Energy plant, the first thing Li Zehua said when he got off the car made Zeng Yumin overjoyed, "According to your request, all people involved in key positions will unconditionally rejoin the review.

As long as you think someone is unsuitable or has hidden dangers, no one will be kept, even if they are core management!
Dongda doesn’t have much in other aspects, but it has a lot of talent. Even if we have to retrain them, it is better than keeping those who have hidden dangers.”

It is emphasized again that no electronic products other than Qingyun Electronic Technology are allowed to appear in the factory. All monitoring systems, sensing devices and equipment, and software must use Qingyun products.

This leaves no room for foreign capital to spy.

One can imagine the pressure Zeng Yumin is under these days, because Qingyun's parent company has deep cooperation with Jiaobenji Capital in lithography technology, semiconductor technology equipment, and in South America.

As soon as the investors behind ATL saw that it was profitable, they immediately came forward and asked Times New Energy to open up its core industrial chain and technology reserves so as to share the results with it.

Although Li Zehua expressed his position implicitly at the time, he did not dare to break off relations with Chicken Capital at the critical moment of the transfer of core industries, so Zeng Yumin was very troubled.

I feel much more comfortable now. "We should have done this a long time ago. We have money and market now. We have no shortage of skilled people and no shortage of industrial support policies. Our future is bright. Why should we let the little chickens come and share a piece of the pie?"

Damn it, from 05 to now, I have been holding back my anger, and now I can finally let go and do something big! "

"The good days are still to come, but you can't let your guard down. The little chickens are very ruthless, especially when it comes to the security of the core personnel, you must not be stingy.

For those who have daily contact with you, we should also follow the routine and conduct a complete investigation every once in a while to avoid unexpected accidents."

Li Zehua has seen many "accidents" targeting key figures, and the key is that he does the same himself, so far, through Qingyun's overseas layout actions.

At least more than a thousand engineers and scientists with great development potential in various fields were deeply moved and embraced the One in heaven in advance.

Either your imagination explodes and you lose the ability to think.

Others are either missing limbs or are accompanied by happiness all day long. Speaking of happiness, this is the easiest way to hook them, after all, Europe and the United States talk a lot about happiness.

It is normal that these young generations of engineers and scientists, who have little money to enjoy life, are suddenly seduced into witnessing a new world and cannot resist the temptation and are forced to sink.

With the help of a stunning beauty, after two or three times, he will be completely dependent on the blessing of happiness. His nerves will be damaged and half of his brain will be useless, so naturally he will not be much of a threat.

However, it is not so easy to make plans for big guys who have been famous for a long time. Just getting in touch with them and gaining their trust is not something that can be done in a day or two.

Fortunately, they were able to use financial and deceptive means to target people around him, including but not limited to exaggerating huge investment returns to defraud all his family savings.

After a huge economic hole appears, they will try every means to gain the trust of the people around them, and then get in touch with the scientific research bigwigs themselves. If they can bribe and lure them, they will cooperate with them to obtain scientific research results.

If it is completely of no use to me, then I can only seek a relatively perfect opportunity to solve the problem once and for all.

Not to mention, the layout of key figures is equivalent to getting rid of hundreds of scientific research experts, because every major scientific research breakthrough is often the result of a flash of inspiration from a genius.

If the direction is right, countless scientific researchers will try and make mistakes over and over again, and there will always be one correct one.

Now that the flash of inspiration has been suppressed at the source, its overall scientific research will inevitably suffer a huge impact.

Having done so himself, Li Zehua was of course afraid that his opponents would use the same tactics against important scientific researchers in the Qingyun Department.

For this purpose, the industrial fund specially allocated hundreds of millions of US dollars of special funds from its annual net profit and donated them to the National Security and the Five Military Governor's Office, which sent professional personnel to train outstanding R&D leaders within the Qingyun system.

We provide key protection for extremely outstanding and talented young people, including their diet, travel, public activities, etc., which are all included in the Qingyun key protection system.

It's no big deal to guarantee a job for the spouse of a doctoral student. Qingyun really wants to protect the dogs that the most outstanding postdoctoral fellows and doctoral students have raised for ten years.

They are afraid that foreign capital will not find an opportunity and will take action on these cats and dogs. After all, humans are not plants or trees, so who can be heartless? A dog that he has raised for ten years suddenly passed away. Wouldn’t the scientific research genius be sad and miss it for several months?

A lot of work progress will be delayed because of his depressed mood. What if the priceless inspiration is lost just like that? Who can Qingyun turn to for justice?

Li Zehua only had a few years of education, but he respected scientists who were truly capable of technological research and development and major technological breakthroughs to the core. As long as they could produce results, he would give them whatever they asked for.

As for the dozen or so Airbus aircraft that Qingyun has purchased successively, if the vice president of the group business group wants to apply for their use, he has to submit a report and go through the application process in advance, but if a technical expert wants it.

One phone call, green light for the whole process.

So much so that some people secretly gossip behind the back that the vice president who makes an extra billion through finance, sales, and channels in the company is not as good as the old man in the laboratory who makes a breakthrough in scientific research and invests 1 billion to make 800 million (sour talk).

It's really strange. Not only can they not compare with the old scientific researcher, but his family can even use private jets to travel abroad. Unless they use it for emergencies, they can only buy plane tickets and fly first class at most.

But unfortunately, Mr. Li from the Qingyun system has the final say. If you have grievances, keep them to yourself. If you have ideas, keep silent. If you are not convinced, do scientific research in your next life.

Only technology is the primary productive force.

Making money at any other time is due to the platform advantage built by the Todaiwa Group. Leaving this platform, making 1 billion yuan alone is a real skill, but scientific research is different.

Major breakthroughs in basic science and technology will bring endless benefits to the entire economy. Only by mastering the core discourse power can your words have power. If you don’t understand this, then you’re doomed to failure!

Zeng Yumin was also a technical expert, so he benefited from it, and of course it was a great pleasure. He immediately led the chairman, the governor and a group of people, put on protective equipment, and went into the laboratory to inspect the technical results.

In fact, breakthroughs in battery technology are entirely based on basic issues of materials and output conversion power, thanks to the commissioning of the core computing system and many basic repetitive tests.

Everything is processed by computers, which greatly saves time and labor costs. As long as the raw materials and the speed of trial and error can keep up, it is easy to achieve results by choosing the right direction (it all depends on money, there is no luck at all).

Therefore, Times New Energy, BYD, YD, Qingyun Power Technology and Mercedes-Benz New Energy are each responsible for a major development direction, and new achievements and new technological breakthroughs are released every day.

The most important thing is that these companies have the same boss. Under the coordination of Qingyun head office, the technological and material breakthroughs achieved by other businesses within the Qingyun system can obtain patent sharing at the first time.

It is even exaggerated that when a material breakthrough is made in the battery for the power of the DAJANG drone, it can be immediately fed back to friendly companies, hundreds of scientific research enterprises and more university research institutions.

We ensure that tens of thousands of the industry's top talents can communicate with each other at any time through internal communication software, exchange technical knowledge and achievements, achieve breakthroughs together, and enjoy the glory of development together.

This is the biggest advantage of the Qingyun system. The corresponding evaluation and review standards have also changed from being responsible for making significant progress in a single project to project participation and completion.

Success may not be mine, but there must be a share of achievement and reward. Li Zehua is not short of money. The huge consumer market and the wealth harvested from individual financial investors are calculated in billions every day.

After strict scientific calculation of various expenditures, a fixed system has been formed for allocation to employees, scientific research system, and channel construction. A portion of every penny earned must be set aside to support scientific research and construction.

With a steady stream of funding, it would be hard not to achieve results.

"What do you think? Should we set up another non-profit scientific research institution to train a large number of theoretical talents, and then establish connections with practical application experts through an internal software platform, even if it is just to serve as a reserve?"

After reading one scientific research result after another, Li Zehua suddenly said, "I've heard that Bell Labs in the United States is very good. Is it possible for us to make one?
If you are interested, start with power batteries, and then pick some professional theoretical talents in the cutting-edge scientific and technological fields of society to make a sample first.

This is better than having a group of people watching science fiction movies and novels every day and picking out the technologies that may be realized. "

Zeng Yumin did not object. He tried to ask about the annual investment scale, but was immediately confused. "How much?"

Li Zehua was puzzled. "5% of the annual net profit? How come you think it's too little?"

Even the governor next to him was shocked. "What was the total revenue and net profit of Qingyun's parent company last year? Don't you know? How can you spend so much money? Why don't you set up the headquarters in southern Fujian first?

Look, this is a blessed state, a good omen. Scientific research also involves metaphysics, strength and luck are both indispensable!"

Now it was Li Zehua's turn to feel a little dizzy. He didn't know how much Qingyun's net profit was for the whole year. Anyway, except for the losses, the profit was all there. Just seeing his net worth skyrocket every year, he wondered how many billions he had earned.

No one can really calculate it, because even the president of the group business group dare not calculate the source of the profits made secretly, not to mention that some secret funds have not yet calculated their net profits...
