Rebirth 2010: I taught Mr. Lei how to make a mobile phone

Chapter 836 Mr. Chen, if the dog won't do it, I will!
A week ago, on the same night, on this river, the river called the Grand Canal.
"Holy crap, he jumped! He really jumped! My money, bro, save him!"

Another man stared at the lake without moving for a while before finally uttering, "This bastard can swim."

Facts have proven that a person can indeed float in water without moving, but the difference between being a good swimmer and not being a good swimmer lies in the calm and collected mindset and the instinct to control one's physiological fears.

The icy river water and the pitch-black night sky gave Jia Yueting absolute quiet and inner peace.

who am I?
I am Jia Yueting!
For the first forty years, Jia Yueting relied on benefactors to start his business, worked his way up, and built a company with a market value of hundreds of billions, handling wealth worth tens of billions.

If I'm not even afraid of death, what setbacks can defeat me?
Despite facing hundreds of thousands of Qin troops, Xiang Yu was able to break his cauldrons and sink his boats, achieving a decisive victory at the Battle of Julu.

What's wrong with Jia Yueting?
After all, my hometown is less than 800 kilometers away from Suqian.

The knowledge, vision, ability, and courage accumulated over the past decades have become Jia Yueting's most valuable assets.

Just like a max-level player on a game server switching to a new server, they're just carrying some debuffs, so what's there to fear?

At that moment, a line of poetry suddenly came to Jia Yueting's mind: "The road ahead is long and arduous, but we will start anew!"

Yes, at worst we can start over.

All that's needed is another opportunity!

For some reason, the image of a certain person popped into Jia Yueting's mind: "The opportunity is right here."

He refused to believe that he couldn't make a comeback with his abilities!

At dawn, as the first rays of sunlight fell upon the calm lake, the people who had been adrift all night began to stir.

A customer came to an ordinary barbershop on the street early in the morning.

"Master, I'd like a haircut."

"What kind of haircut would you like, boss?"

Jia Yueting walked to the mirror and looked at himself with sunken eyes and a few gray hairs at his temples.

In the past month, I feel like I've aged at least ten years.

"How about a buzz cut? It'll make you look more energetic."

He said so.

15 minutes passed
"Thank you for your patronage, 30 yuan!"

Jia Yueting scanned the QR code to pay. Since becoming rich, he has always had his hair cut by private customization. He has never had such a cheap haircut before, but this time it was the most satisfying one he had ever had.

He didn't choose to go to the company first because LeEco is no longer owned by Jia Yueting.

Instead, I first bought a pen and a notebook at a small supermarket, and then followed the map navigation to a nearby internet cafe. Yes, it's not commonly called an internet cafe anymore.

"Double Kill!" "Triple Kill!" "Congratulations to player 037 for achieving a five-kill streak in the Glory World Championship! Reward: a can of Red Bull!"

"Damn it, let's hold on in the final round, guys!"

"Stop sputtering in front, come back and push the bike!"

"Positioning! Positioning skills! Which idiot got killed by the ray? It's 7102 already, doesn't Little K know how to fight?"

While the young people around him were playing the most popular online games, a middle-aged man would occasionally look at the screen, writing and drawing, appearing somewhat out of place.

"Don't you trust my judgment and your abilities?"

Chen Mo's words, like the whisper of a demon, lingered in Jia Yueting's ears.

He acknowledged that Chen Mo's insight was unparalleled in the industry, but said that one has no right to speak without investigation, and Jia Yueting now only trusts his own judgment.

The screen displays the current state of live-streaming e-commerce, its supply chain system, and clips of classic scenes—the styles of Chen Mo and the three giants, as well as the strategies of Viya and Li Jiaqi, are all analyzed.

The data in the notebook is traversed by upward-sloping lines, representing the industry trend of live-streaming e-commerce.

Ultimately, Jia Yueting had to admit that Chen Mo's judgment was indeed brilliant and that he hadn't been fooled.

This road has potential.

First, there's revenue. Whether it's Taobao, Douyin, or Kuaishou, it's not uncommon for top livestreaming hosts to break 100 million RMB in a single session. According to industry practice, the host's earnings should be around 20%, depending on how it's negotiated.

With a background in accounting, Jia Yueting was well aware of the debts he owed. In fact, nearly half of the debts could have been avoided through limited liability, and the company's bankruptcy liquidation could have been completely unrelated to him.

But now, starting over, he no longer wants to avoid these issues; he will personally repay the debts he owes!
It's only 267.29 billion!
Including those overseas, he still has less than 20 billion yuan in funds at his disposal.

Aside from the 1 million yuan he kept for his comeback, after deducting all that, Jia Yueting himself was amused, thinking it was just a complete idiot!
However, Chen Mo's idea of ​​making him a live-streaming e-commerce host on Douyin is a gross underestimation of Jia Yueting.

From the supply chain to MCNs and live streamers, Jia Yueting wanted to control the entire upstream and downstream chain, because only in this way could he maximize profits.

After all, LeEco had considered getting into e-commerce before, but unexpectedly, that idea has resurfaced now.
If this plan is followed, Jia Yueting looks at the notebook on the table and sees that the time to pay off the debts is three years!

At that time, the sea and sky will be vast, allowing fish to leap freely, and the world will be yours to roam!

Leaving the internet cafe, Jia Yueting pulled out a number on his phone, his face filled with mixed emotions, and dialed it.
"Mr. Chen, I'll do it!"

In the following days, as promised, Jia Yueting first repaid a small portion of the outstanding debts to the suppliers to help them in need.

They promised to hold a separate meeting at the end of the month to thoroughly explain how to resolve the debt issue.

After temporarily stabilizing the suppliers, Jia Yueting visited several banks that had provided loans, explaining the pros and cons.

Driven to desperation, he slammed his fist on the table and yelled, "If I didn't want to pay you back, would I have come to you on my own initiative?"
Either you call the police right now and have me arrested and served my sentence;
Either I jump off your building in a bit, and you'll lose everything.

Give me some more time, and I'll pay you back with interest!
Choose one of the three!

After securing the bank's approval, Jia Yueting arrived at the LeEco building.
Many LeEco employees gathered around Jia Yueting when they saw him. Of course, they weren't there to ask for money back. After LeEco's crisis broke out, Jia Yueting found them a new job, and a better one at that, so they had no worries about the future. They were very grateful.

Everyone looked at Mr. Jia, who seemed much older than they had seen him in over a month, and felt a pang of sympathy. "Um, Xiao Liu, please have everyone come to the rooftop in a bit. Before I leave, I'd like to say a few words from my heart."

Half an hour later, on the top floor of the LeEco building.

"What's with all those expressions? I lost, but I'm not dead. Don't think so highly of me."

A self-deprecating smile appeared on Jia Yueting's face. "You know, capital is ruthless. A month ago, I was thinking about how to lay you off without paying severance and then run away. See, does that make you feel less sad?"

"The victor is king, the loser is villain; everything is judged by the outcome. However, I am pleased to say that I think I have found you a good new home."

I hope everyone will work hard under the leadership of the Beyond Group. We don't expect to recreate the glory of LeEco, but at least we shouldn't let down the title of LeEco employee.

I will sincerely wish you all the best and LeEco all the best!

We were unable to lead you to success and realize our original dreams.
Finally, I owe everyone an apology.
sorry! "

Tears welled in Jia Yueting's eyes as he bowed deeply to his more than 1,000 employees, remaining motionless for a long time.

In this speech, he abandoned all routines and techniques; all that remained were his thoughts and feelings at that moment, and all that remained was sincerity.
This scene deeply moved all LeEco employees. In their hearts, Mr. Jia was like Chen Mo to the other side of the world, a totem-like figure.

The fact that this hero is now in his twilight years evokes sighs and deep emotions in everyone.

"Mr. Jia, what will you do next?"

"Pay back the debt!"

Would you still choose to start your own business?

"As long as life goes on, dreams will never die, and entrepreneurship will never stop!"

What doesn't kill me makes me stronger! Until we meet again!

Jia Yueting put down the microphone and walked out, and the crowd spontaneously made way for him.

"come on!"

"come on!"

As I passed by LeEco employees, I could hear cheers from all around me, some rough, some crisp, and some hoarse.

It contains encouragement and, more importantly, blessings.

Amidst the cheers of everyone, Jia Yueting's slightly hunched back gradually straightened.
Before disappearing, he left everyone with a tall and straight back view.

On May 26, Jia Yueting, having severed all ties, walked into the Beyond Science and Technology Park.

"Hello, I'm Jia Yueting, and I have an appointment with your chairman!"

"Mr. Jia, the chairman instructed you to go directly there. It's the 'Turning Back is the Shore' meeting room at the end of this road."

Turning back is the shore; the name is quite interesting.

As he walked, Jia Yueting thought to himself with a touch of self-deprecation that this should be his fourth encounter with Chen Mo.

The two men's previous meetings resembled the process of LeEco's rise and fall.

As he approached the conference room door, Jia Yueting took a deep breath to gather his thoughts and tapped the door panel twice with his knuckles.

"Enter!"

Pushing open the door, Chen Mo pointed to the agreement on the table: "Take a look first."

Jia Yueting pulled out a chair and sat down, his fingertips tracing the pages of the agreement. Chen Mo's voice came from across the room:

"I don't need to elaborate on the industry trend of live-streaming e-commerce; with your vision, Mr. Jia, you must understand it clearly. Currently, top streamers are fighting on multiple platforms, but none of them have truly broken through to the next level. Douyin needs a leader to take the platform to the next level, and after searching the entire internet industry, I can only think of you as the best candidate."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "After signing the contract, Douyin will provide targeted streaming to your live stream, and you'll also receive promotional resources."

Revenue is split in tiers, with higher commissions for more sales.

"Do you have any other ideas?"

"I want to establish my own MCN, build a team, and operate it independently!"

“No problem. If you were just a live streamer, I would think it would be a waste of your talents. After all, in addition to your personal charm, your management skills are also outstanding.”

"We are partners, not subordinates." Jia Yueting emphasized the word "partners."

“Okay.” Chen Mo nodded, “but the contract has to be for three years and it has to be an exclusive partnership.”

"I still have that much professional ethics, and I also want to build my own supply chain!"

"We can build it, but we need to accept Douyin's quality control supervision. However, if there are no problems with using JD.com's supply and SF Express logistics in the early stages, then let's sign the contract!"

Jia Yueting looked at the terms and conditions, which seemed reasonable and without any hidden pitfalls, and signed his name at the end.

The soft scratching of the pen tip across the paper came to an end.

"It's a pleasure to cooperate." Jia Yueting stood up and reached out his hand, but froze in mid-air when he heard the next sentence.

“You will be dealing with General Manager Zhang.” Chen Mo politely shook his hand, his tone calm and composed. “I’m just handling the finalization of the framework agreement.”

A hint of sadness flashed across Jia Yueting's eyes.

Yes, it's already a great honor for Chen Mo to even see him now; I certainly don't deserve to sit at the same table with him anymore.

The last day of May, at the Beijing Park Plaza Hotel.

Numerous media outlets and suppliers gathered, while individual investors downstairs held banners demanding payment.

The fifth-floor conference hall hosted a meeting titled "Old Jia's Promise: A Communication Meeting to Fulfill Responsibilities and Protect Creditors' Rights."
It's about to begin.
