Chapter 185: Punching Tengda and kicking Ali

"The environment here is quite nice. Which building did you buy?"

Lin Wenhui and Wu Yibin arrived very quickly, but did not enter the community. Li Zehua picked them up and found a coffee shop with a nice environment to chat.

After drinking a sip of iced coffee on a hot day and feeling refreshed, he said, "It hasn't been decided yet. The landlord is not very satisfied with the price. Let's wait a few days and see."

After briefly explaining the matter, Lin Wenhui smiled and said, "You can also encounter such a good thing?"

Wu Yibin was not very familiar with him, but he tried to strike up a conversation and analyzed for him, "Right now, housing prices in Shanghai are rising very fast.

What was more than 10,000 yuan two years ago now costs more than 20,000 yuan, and 40,000 or 50,000 yuan is common in core areas.

But this kind of large apartment, as you just said, costs more than 40 million, and it is difficult to sell it in case of emergency."

"All high-end homes are like this. They're fine for self-use, but for investment, a 910-square-meter home is easier to cash out."

Li Zehua knew that he was paving the way for what he was going to say next, so he simply laid it out, "It is inevitable that real estate prices will rise, but Qingyun has no plans to get involved in real estate development.

The current purchase of shops is all aimed at curbing the cost increases of restaurant chain plans.”

The real estate industry is too complicated and it is easy to get involved in a lot of trouble, and the issue of interest exchange alone is unavoidable.

There will always be a day when the tide recedes and the final reckoning comes. He cannot guarantee that he can escape.

After saying that, he glanced at Wu Yibin's forehead and said with a smile, "Is your case not serious?"

Wu Yibin was a grown man with two band-aids on his head, which looked quite strange. Hearing this, he smiled bitterly and said, "Boss Li, next time you set off a firecracker, can you let me know in advance?"

He knew the inside story, and he laughed again, "After all these years, this is the first time I've seen Jack Ma lose his composure like that. You really hit the weak spot this time."

"There is no other way. This involves core interests and there is no possibility of compromise."

Li Zehua shrugged. "Speaking of which, many people still can't understand it. They try to persuade me and Ali to coexist."

It’s mainly the people from the express delivery companies, but it doesn’t matter. Once Pinduoduo’s group buying starts to explode, they will naturally make the right choice.

Lin Wenhui has been following him for so long that he has understood some of his ideas. “It is inevitable that Ali will get involved in the logistics industry. Only you, Mr. Li, have the courage to fight for control.

If I were in charge, I might have invested right from the start, because the competition pressure from being with a giant company wouldn’t be that great.”

“If you follow the giants, you will never become a new giant.”

Li Zehua has always held this view, "This is determined by market competition, just like when you first advised me to go to Ali to do internal corporate communications.

But it is not realistic. Qingyun is determined to become a leader in the Internet industry. When it comes to its core interests, it will insist on independence no matter how difficult it is.

In the future, in addition to training personnel, organizing teams, and improving the structure according to the established plan, the company will mainly be involved in the research and development of the company's internal communication system.

And we will set up an overseas instant messaging software development headquarters in Hong Kong to try and see if there are any new possibilities. "

Lin Wenhui was stunned, "No, you just hit Ali with a club and now you're trying to stab Tengda in the ass. If you keep going like this, it'll be hard to end it!
Of the three bat giants, you didn't get on board with one, but you offended two of them instead. Are you crazy?"

As we get to know each other better, we become less polite when talking to each other.

"How is it possible to offend two people at the same time? Who do you think I am?"

“I told you that you still have a plan for doing things. It doesn’t matter if you offend Ahri. You can have more contact with Tenda later.

Let’s see if we can get traffic support from them. With the help of Tenda, I believe that Hummingbird will soon be able to break through successfully.”

Lin Wenhui breathed a sigh of relief, but it was too early for him to be happy.

Li Zehua smiled and said, "Did you misunderstand something? Two is impossible, three is the best.

Don't rush to scold me.

Even if I put it up now, what kind of harsh conditions do you think Tenda will offer?
Ali wants to eat meat, so does Tengda have to be a vegetarian?
Tenda may not make a big move in the food delivery sector, but they will definitely get involved in group purchasing!

Tenda has entered the e-commerce field several times before, but was strongly suppressed by Ali. How could Tenda, which has huge traffic, give up?

As for Baidu? It will not let go of any takeout group purchases, and will compete in person sooner or later. "

Not to mention Lin Wenhui, even Wu Yibin was so annoyed that he opened his mouth and said, "Boss Li, is it too late for me to withdraw from the board of directors now?"

Originally, he was having a great time during his annual vacation in the Maldives, but he was called back urgently by a phone call, and he didn't have time to find out what happened.

I was rushed to the hospital by the angry Ali employees. After finally figuring out the whole cause and effect of everything, there was nothing I could do.

When it comes to the highest-level decision-making in Lijiaopo, he can only obey and accept it unconditionally, comforting himself that when the hummingbird grows up, it may not be much worse than Ali.

After all, no matter how good Ali is, Temasek got involved too late and could only acquire some scattered shares through its original investment institutions, which accounted for a small proportion.

But this is not the case under Qingyun. According to the first round of supplementary agreement, it holds 15% of the shares of both companies and 25% of Pinxixi's shares.

Not only does it have the first-mover advantage in the market, it also has strong support from the local Shanghai area and support from several governorates. It would be hard for it not to succeed no matter how you look at it.

But he never thought that after completely offending Ali, Li Zehua still had the leisure to develop in the field of instant messaging and touch Tengda's reverse scale. Isn't this just wishing his life is too long?

Thinking of this, he couldn't sit still anymore, "Boss Li, this is not a joke. Ah Li hasn't found out yet, but Temasek is behind it.

Jack Ma may not be able to handle the dispute with Yahoo for the time being, but sooner or later he will react.

I hope that the hummingbird I ate at that time can grow up smoothly and have the ability to protect itself.

But this is by no means a reason for you to ignore the influence of giants. In the Internet industry, traffic and capital can really determine the life or death of a company.

If Tengda, Ali and Qiandu were to take on a single company at the same time, I’m afraid there wouldn’t be any company in China that could handle it.”

"Don't worry."

Li Zehua patiently explained, "For the domestic part, I will learn from Taotao Wangwang and first develop an internal communication software based on the food delivery and express delivery business.

Realize the internal communication network between salesmen, backstage and consumers, and then gradually build an enterprise-level communication system on this platform.

This will avoid over-stimulating Tenda, and you don’t want any of the company’s data to be completely exposed to competitors.”

QQ privacy is a false proposition, so it’s better not to mention it.

Lin Wenhui and Wu Yibin looked at each other and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he continued, "In Hong Kong or Lijiapo, I will try to promote it directly on mobile phones, which is a new track.

Even international giants do not have much technological advantage. It does not matter whether they succeed or not, at least they can provide experience for their next business plans.

By the way, I will train a technical team. When domestic smartphones start to be launched in large quantities, I will consider it as appropriate. After the main business has gained a firm foothold, I will seek new breakthroughs. "

"It scared me, but it's a safe thing to do."

Wu Yibin breathed a sigh of relief, then asked curiously, "Boss Li's business ideas sound very novel, how do they work in practice?

It still needs to be tested in practice. I wonder what kind of help we can provide?"

"In the early stage, you only need to provide some recommendations of relevant talents."

Li Zehua turned his head and looked at Lin Wenhui, "You are still too slow in recruiting people in China. Gaoling and Tomorrow Capital recommended more than 100 middle and senior management to me in the past two days.

There are too many suitable talents in finance and public relations to apply for them. You have to work harder, otherwise, if the news gets out, people will think that Temasek’s network is not good.”

“Talent in software development is not a problem.”

Lin Wenhui took out a file on his laptop and sent it to him, "These are lists of high-quality talents that the company has accumulated through long-term contacts with professional organizations.

Many of them have worked in multinational companies. How many you can poach depends on how many suitable positions you can offer.

As for Internet software development, it is based on smartphones. There are certainly many in the United States, but it may be difficult to coordinate personnel salaries and work locations. "

Wu Yibin also advised, "Since we want to prevent Tengda from knowing in advance, then we can't put it in Hong Kong. It's no different from its base camp."

Li Zehua was stunned by what they said. After thinking for a moment, he felt that it made sense, "But it's not realistic in America."

WeChat focuses on a simple beauty, without too many frills, not to mention early personalization. Its homepage is even blank at the beginning.

An extremely simple social platform for acquaintances!
He didn't know what the consequences would be if he made drastic changes to cater to the passion and unrestrained open platforms of Europeans and Americans.

But Oriental people, especially domestic office workers, may not accept it, but it is more suitable for those born after 95 and even 00 who are more open-minded. They may think it is cool to decorate their own space at will, show different personalities, and have strong interest, relevance and entertainment.

However, with the success of QQ and QQ Space, it is difficult for WeChat to break through. To succeed, it must achieve the ultimate in some direction.

Because even a strong company like Tenda did not achieve ideal results in the early stage of WeChat promotion, as its users basically overlapped heavily with QQ users.

The threat from competitors and the rapid growth in the number of mobile customers forced Tenda to make up its mind to no longer regard WeChat as a mobile alternative to QQ and start to make every effort to attract traffic.

WeChat was promoted vigorously on all major platforms, coordinated interests with the three major operators, and used WeChat red envelopes and the Spring Festival Gala for promotion, allowing it to gradually establish its advantages.

He can learn this, but he cannot copy it.

Especially overseas, it is easy for this kind of traffic killer to emerge but difficult to get ahead. Without enough alliances of interests, it is difficult to have the last laugh.

It is almost impossible for Europe and the United States to accept him, so it is useless to place the R&D base in the United States. Even if it is not in Hong Kong, it can be placed in Lijiaopo in the initial stage.

If we can establish an instant messaging software company covering Southeast Asia, even if we are ranked second or third, it will be of great use in the future.

It is not easy to say these things out loud, so I only selectively said some of them. While Lin Wenhui nodded in agreement, he also had some doubts.

“So in its early days, WeChat could only be promoted in the Eastern world?”

Wu Yibin became interested, "When is the right time to return to China?"

"Boss Lin, Boss Wu, you are shareholders and directors of Chimo. Why are you more interested in a piece of software?"

Li Zehua was speechless. "Let's just do this thing that has no clue at all. I will build a team in Shanghai under the guise of enterprise-level software.

As for large-scale promotion, this will depend on the speed of smartphone shipments, which is unlikely at least now.

If we launch it hastily, Tenda will react quickly and follow suit, and we won’t have any chance at all.”

"So this matter must be kept absolutely confidential."

Wu Yibin thought thoughtfully, "No wonder you wanted to do it abroad from the beginning. I thought you were going to save the 500 million US dollars to show your skills in the financial market."

I was feeling lucky in my heart. Fortunately, this was the case. Otherwise, I would have to find opportunities to persuade him. Once this person makes enough quick money, it will be difficult for him to be interested in down-to-earth business.

“Making money in the financial market is not an end, but a means. Without the first pot of gold from the stock market, there would be no Qingyun Group today.”

Li Zehua sighed, "Recently, I plan to withdraw all the funds in the stock market and use them as the start-up capital for Qingyun Investment to invest in some related industries."

"Like Yadi?"

Lin Wenhui quickly came back to his senses from his future prospects for WeChat.

No matter how wonderful the prospect is, it is not a market that can be eaten at the moment. "Your village and town plan and battery replacement plan will be very successful once they are implemented, and now Jinling and Chengdu are fully supporting it.

Once the market is opened up, Pinxixi will benefit greatly, so you have to control this game well.

If you need anything, please let us know as soon as possible and we at Temasek will do our best to assist you.”

Wu Yibin also expressed his opinion, "Please rest assured, Mr. Li, the company has chosen me to serve as the director of Chimo. I will definitely do my best in this position to provide support for the development of the company.

It just so happened that during my contact with Ali, I met a lot of talents in e-commerce, from software development to market operations, in all aspects.

There is another thing we need to explain to Mr. Li in advance. We have already contacted Sun Tongyu, the former general manager of Ali Taotao.

Although things are not as simple as we imagined, they are not too complicated either. Perhaps we only need an opportunity to win him over. "

Because Pinduoduo's specific business has not yet been launched, there is naturally no need to set up a company board of directors just because of a preparatory working group.

So Wu Yibin, the director of Chimei, actually also works for Hummingbird and Pinxixi.

From these words, we can tell that he gets into work mode very quickly.

Li Zehua was very satisfied. "You mean, Sun Tongyu himself has this intention?"

Wu Yibin smiled and said, "It's all your own ability, Mr. Li. Temasek just did some insignificant work.

This is not a compliment to you, it's the truth!

Sun Tongyu originally had little interest in joining Pinxixi, and he is not even interested in e-commerce now. It seems that leaving Taotao was a big blow to him.

However, when we briefly mentioned "Are You Eating?", some of Hummingbird's local promotion policies, importance and future plans, he had an obvious overreaction.

It gives people a feeling of satisfaction that their own value is highly recognized, or perhaps the excitement of finding like-minded friends. "

"If possible, under the premise of confidentiality, we can arrange a meeting."

Lin Wenhui is also interested in promoting this matter. "Even though he has been away from Taotao for a year, there are still many old subordinates, especially many people in the Ali Iron Army, who were promoted by him.

If we can dig him over, it will be very helpful in disrupting Ahri's offensive."

"Well, let's find a suitable opportunity to meet and talk."

Li Zehua did not refuse. Speaking of Sun Tongyu, he thought of more.

He pointed at the scar on Wu Yibin's forehead and said, "Mr. Wu, are you interested in finding some more fun for Ali Taotao?"

Wu Yibin was stunned and turned to look at Lin Wenhui. The meaning was very clear. This guy played so wildly?

His mouth was not idle, "Boss Li, are you planning to vent my anger for me?"

"Of course, Mr. Wu is also a director of my company. It's not my character not to fight back when I got hit for no reason."

Li Zehua lowered his voice and said, "Since Sun Tongyu is interested, we should reveal some more information to win him over.

But I was not very confident about his previous identity. Trust is mutual, so I showed my sincerity!

Mr. Sun should also give some expression, right?

I was very direct. Even if he was unwilling to take action because of their old friendship, I would just give him a few suitable old subordinates and we would contact them ourselves.

We will take care of all the problems Taotao has accumulated over the years, such as fake orders, traffic exposure bidding shady dealings, the dark sides involved in the promotion process by the local sales team, etc.

Wait for the right opportunity and give Taotao a big gift, so that Mr. Ma won’t be idle and always think about the logistics and express delivery industry.”

"Sigh~"

Wu Yibin took a deep breath, while Lin Wenhui beside him watched with a smile but said nothing.

We have talked about this topic before. When dealing with competitors, it doesn’t matter what tricks you use, as long as they work.

When Wu Yibin came back to his senses, there was a dangerous light in his eyes, which was the natural pursuit and desire for excitement.

"You're playing such a big game, aren't you afraid that Jack Ma will come after you?"

"You even dared to recommend Sun Tongyu, the former general manager of Taotao. Are you planning to let me coexist peacefully with Teacher Ma?"

Li Zehua spread his hands and said, "Either don't do it, or do it completely!

Pinxixi is now on the verge of launching its plan, and it has to be launched!
Hundreds of promoters have spread across eastern Guangdong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, looking for manufacturers to contact everywhere, and dozens of letters of intent have been signed.

The list of personnel arranged by Jinling Rongcheng has been sent to the company, and there are hundreds of people at the squad, platoon and company levels.

This involves dozens of prefecture-level cities and the demobilization and employment of tens of thousands of people. Do you think I would joke about this?"

"Too risky."

Wu Yibin was bold enough. Under such circumstances, he dared to rush into the Ali board meeting alone and overturn the table. However, he was still shocked by Li Zehua's crazy idea.

My goodness, it is so unlucky for Ali to have such a competitor. It just detonated the mine laid in the payment system and destroyed Yahoo Ali’s market value of tens of billions.

Now, they are targeting Ali's core business Taotao, vowing to turn the latter upside down.

"If you do this, what if Ahri goes crazy?"

Li Zehua refuted with just one sentence, leaving him speechless instantly.

"Then why don't you go to Ali and ask them not to get involved in the takeout and delivery industry?" (End of this chapter)
