Chapter 730: Manifesto, Final Draft

".When Ma announced at the Lakeside Opening Ceremony that '500% of the CEOs of China's top 40 companies will come from Lakeside', behind this bold statement was a 'godfather dream' of trying to reshape China's economic power structure.

This is no simple educational ambition but a carefully crafted commercial power statement.

This so-called academy jointly created by capital oligarchs has indeed demonstrated an astonishing ability to manage resources.

From project incubation and technology grafting to fund allocation and experience inheritance, every link builds a powerful resource energy field.

But if we look closely at its essence, how similar is the operating model of this elite club to the Donglin Academy in the late Ming Dynasty where "the sounds of wind, rain and reading are pleasant to the ears"?
They are all the top economic power elites who have woven a resource network that covers the entire business community.

When capital is no longer a dispersed individual but forms a highly organized interest group, what kind of monster will be born from its reconciliation with power? The destructive power of this combination is probably far beyond our most pessimistic imagination.
History always repeats itself in an amazing way. The short-lived "Jiangnan Club" now seems to be resurrected in a more refined and decent form.

When business godfathers begin to systematically train ‘disciples’ and when economic power shows obvious characteristics of intergenerational inheritance, this model will be a long-term erosion of the entire market economy ecology, which is extremely terrifying if you think about it carefully.”

The few words at the end of the article are particularly profound:
“Some things in this world can be done but not said, and some can be said but not exhausted.

But if we put it under the sun and examine it carefully with a magnifying glass, how many people can withstand the burning of their souls? "

An unknown ordinary answerer on Zhihu, "Zhihuzheya", instantly gained over 100,000 fans thanks to his brilliant article "Lakeside University: An Extremely Dangerous Signal".

After the article was published, it quickly spread in an explosive manner, and the number of reposts on major platforms increased exponentially.

What is even more dramatic is that Lakeside University has suddenly become a check-in destination, with the school gate crowded with tourists who come for the "pilgrimage" and anchors who wait there 24 hours a day.

However, people discovered that this university, which was bustling with activity just a few days ago, now had its doors locked, and the explanation given by the security guard was vague.

I even asked people nearby, and the answers they gave were very strange. They said it was quite lively a few days ago, with people taking photos, fireworks, and even lion dance performances, so why are the doors closed now?
Inside the school, Lao Ma listened to the live broadcasts coming from outside the door, his face as gloomy as iron.

At this moment, the business godfather truly experienced what it meant to "be caught in one's own trap". What had originally been a promising start had suddenly turned into a dilemma, all because of these few short articles.

Now it's good, we've caught him in a jar, cough cough, no, he should have been fine when he came, but now it's inconvenient to go back.

Although we don’t know who wrote those damn articles on the Internet, and although there is no conclusive evidence yet, but the chain of communication from fermentation on Zhihu, spread on Weibo to explosion on Douyin, who would believe that there was no dog fanning the flames?

Then they discussed it and decided that if a public speech caused controversy, according to their understanding, the best way to deal with it was to play dead. After the heat died down, they could do what they had to do and the controversy would continue.

But if they showed up at this time, no matter what they said, or nothing at all, it would be considered shit in the eyes of those people who were staring at the lake with microscopes.

Then Lao Ma cursed, "Fuck it, let's just retreat and meditate. Anyway, the environment here is elegant. I guess it will disperse naturally after a few days of cold treatment."

Lao Ma and his team thought so and did so, but they underestimated the enthusiasm of the spectators fueled by the "enthusiasts".
Just when public opinion was about to cool down, "zhihuzheya" once again dropped a bombshell: "What is the guilty thief afraid of?"

The article analyzed the closed-door incident layer by layer, and every word was sharp, which made the Lakeside School board members furious.

What made them even more crazy was that this mysterious account ignored its 30 followers after publishing two powerful articles and resolutely chose to cancel the account and run away.

However, Zhihu, the platform that allowed public opinion to ferment, belongs to the Other Shore, making it beyond their reach. Even though these school directors are extremely powerful, all their magical powers seem to have lost their effect in front of the Other Shore.

Looking at the continued hustle and bustle in the distance, Old Ma's veins were visible on the back of his hand as he stroked the teacup. He felt a little regretful for rejecting the school director's proposal.

Thinking about the current eye-catching businesses of Bi'an, how great it would be if there was no Chen Mo in Bi'an, or if there was no Bi'an in this world!
Lao Ma has to admit a fact, that is, he would rather face the previous coalition of Tencent's Pony Ma and Baidu's Li Xuesen than fight to the death with the other side.

But now it's not just his business.
In the chairman's office of the Bi'an Technology Park, Chen Mo was on the phone.

"You picked a very strong pen this time, and every word you said is really heartbreaking!"

"Thank you for the compliment, boss. I will shamelessly accept it."

"Ha~ I didn't expect that Lao Chen, you are still as good as ever. Very good, the article is good! The method and approach are even better, you are worthy of being a veteran media person."

"It should!"

"The people at the other side's door should withdraw."

"Uh"

"Not one of ours?" Chen Mo was stunned. He thought Chen Tong would cooperate online and offline.

"In fact, I contacted the long-haired guy and did so. But when I went over, the scene was like old ladies fighting over eggs in a supermarket. There was no need for us to add any unnecessary details."

Didn't you expect netizens to be so enthusiastic? Chen Mo felt that he had underestimated the development of TikTok. "Okay, got it. Great job! Let's call it a day."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Mo finally let out a sigh of relief. He felt very happy to have made the other party unhappy.

The feud between him and Lao Ma has long gone beyond the level of normal business competition and has risen to a dispute over "orthodoxy".

Since there has been no action from above, why not just expose everything to the sun - the advantage of having a public opinion platform is that you will never be strangled by anyone.

Of course, the premise is... not touching the power of higher dimensions.

Everything that should be done has been done. As for the pros and cons, future generations will judge for themselves. There is no point in worrying about them now.

Chen Mo knew in his heart that this move could only disgust the opponent at best, but he didn't know how angry Lao Ma was. Anyway, all his thoughts were clear.

Afterwards, he directly turned on the "offline mode", left the other side retirement plan to Tianji Pavilion for details, and handed over the venture capital special fund to Wu Dan for management.

He then left for Xiaomi and finalized the long-planned "starting a new journey" plan with Lei Jun.

After all, Chen Mo is not the kind of person who would deny his mistake just because he got out of bed and put on his pants.

The plan is to build a network connecting domestic and foreign mobile phone suppliers through Summer Technology, headed by Lee Boo-jin, and start the manufacturing process of Summer mobile phones.

From strategic direction, financial support to technology output, and even supply chain integration and talent delivery, Chen Mo, just like during the Spring Festival, gave Lee Boo-jin all his efforts, giving her everything except the best.
As for whether Xiatian Technology can fight its way out of the siege of Samsung, the "local tiger", it depends on Lee Boo-jin's own skills.

Facing the suppression from Samsung, Lee Boo-jin is not without a chance of winning.

This female entrepreneur, who is hailed as the "National Princess" by the Korean people, has a wide influence among the old, middle-aged and young generations.

More importantly, she has been influenced by Lee Kun-hee since she was young and is well versed in the political and business games.

Although Lee Kun-hee has now "lived in the deep palace for a long time", he had made preparations for the future long before he became seriously ill. He separated the Shilla hotel and duty-free shop business from Samsung and handed it over to his eldest daughter to operate independently.

These high-end businesses targeting dignitaries, political and business elites have built another network of relationships for Xiatian Technology besides the other side.

Add to that the potential security risks of Samsung mobile phones that may erupt in the future - with the right time, right place, and right people all coming together, this business war is worth looking forward to.

At the same time, taking advantage of the opportunity to build the supply chain, Chen Mo also completed the ribbon-cutting ceremonies for branches in various places.

Since last year, the Other Shore Buildings in Shanghai, Hangzhou, Chengdu, Wuhan and other places have been completed one after another.

In this two-year project that cost 300 billion yuan, the most expensive projects were the prime locations in Shanghai, where every inch of land is worth a lot of money, and the Dachanwan project in Shenzhen's land reclamation and island building.

It is worth mentioning the Shenzhen Dachanwan project. The Dachanwan artificial island has taken shape. According to the plan, it will be built into a future technology city belonging to the other side. At that time, the headquarters of DJI and SF Express will move in one after another.

Among them, DJI's new headquarters "Sky City" is designed by British architectural firm Foster + Partners and is expected to be completed in three years. The overall project will still take 2-3 years to be fully implemented.

This science and technology city is positioned as a smart ecosystem that integrates R&D, office, and life, with a total investment of nearly 300 billion yuan (100 billion yuan already invested). After completion, it will become one of the world's largest single Internet headquarters, comparable to Apple's headquarters, and can accommodate 15 employees and many leading companies.

As for which companies can go to the island and which are turned away, Chen Mo, the landlord, has the final say!

The construction of this island not only solves the problem of increasingly insufficient office space at Bi'an, but also carries Bi'an Group's ambition to transform from an Internet company to a technology ecological platform.

In the future, it may become a technological landmark in Shenzhen and even China, further consolidating Bi'an's competitiveness in AI, cloud computing, software and other fields.

Chen Mo secretly thanked God that the project was launched in time. If it had been delayed until this year, even if he wanted to promote it, some people in Beijing might not agree.

Tens of billions of dollars have been invested to build a building with a beautiful environment, advanced equipment and brand new workstations. But if no one moves in, it is like a perfect body without the most precious soul.

If we just relocate a few departments symbolically, it will be like scratching the surface. If we want to relocate, we have to uproot everything and reorganize it thoroughly.

Therefore, after returning to China in late March, Chen Mo immediately consulted with the group's senior executives and Tianji Pavilion members to carry out detailed decomposition and division of businesses in various regions.

After three days of intensive discussion and communication, the plan was finalized.

If we say that in Mi'an Wucai City, the start-up period of Bi'an from 11 to 13 belonged to the version of "Bi'an Development Outline V1.0".

So when Bi'an moved to Bi'an Technology Park in 14-15, it leapt from a second-tier company to become today's Internet giant, which was the realization of "Bi'an Development Outline V2.0".

At this moment, the plan in Chen Mo's hand is "The Other Shore Development Outline V3.0".
