When the coastal cities in the Pearl River Delta began to vigorously launch a special crackdown on speeding, three-handedness, and one-stop sales of stolen goods.

Li Zehua is already standing on the land of Hong Kong.

Because his schedule was too tight, it was almost eight o'clock in the evening when he passed the border.

Also passing the test with him were Wang Tao, Lu Fei from Dajiang Technology, and security assistant Zhang Tao.

Wu Yibin, the director of Chimo, was left in Yangcheng to take charge of the overall situation, while Guo Xinyi was arranged to go to Fos and Zhuhai to continue negotiating with major partners.

Temasek Senior Executive Director Lim Boon Hui and Tsing Yun Group Compliance and Supervision Director Liu Zijie led people to greet them at the checkpoint.

The convoy of luxury cars frequently attracted the attention of people passing through the customs.

This was the first time Li Zehua met Liu Zijie in person.

At the first sight, I wondered, how could this tall, handsome and talented man from Qilu end up being sighed by teachers and despised by his fellow students?

After a warm greeting, Li Zehua introduced the team responsible for Dajiang Technology to the two.

Then he turned around and said, "Mr. Wang, Mr. Lu, let's talk in detail at the hotel later, and then visit Professor Li together tomorrow morning."

After arranging all matters and arriving at the hotel, I immediately arranged a meeting with the senior executives of Temasek who had come specially for the event.

Temasek Holdings Director and Global Deputy CEO (Vice Chairman) of Temasek International Investments, Zheng Weihong has been waiting for a long time.

On the way here, Lin Wenhui had already introduced this person's background to Li Zehua.

As soon as they met, Li Zehua couldn't wait to reach out his hand and shake it with the boss, "Thank you, CEO Zheng, for your long-term care for Qingyun Group and me."

Zheng Weihong was the one who supported and strongly requested investment in Chimo from the very beginning.

He is in his fifties this year and has in-depth research on traditional industries. He also has some unique insights of his own in the field of Internet investment.

It is based on the accumulated investment experience in these two fields that he was able to open up the Hummingbird model in Chimai, especially after the battle of Fenglin Road.

Make quick decisions on investing in Chimo.

Because he was responsible for Lijiaopo's decision-making on the Chinese Gusu model, he knew very well what the most important foundation was for a huge country.

In particular, the series of actions later reported from Qingyun Group further confirmed the correctness of this investment.

This 20-year-old man in front of us is using his unique entrepreneurial ideas to gradually touch the foundation of this country.

Agriculture, manufacturing and employment!
Especially when they are combined with the Internet, the chemical reaction that occurs is enough to move anyone.

Although his trip to eastern Guangdong was short, everything he did was seen by those who were interested.

Pinxixi has never been a simple Internet e-commerce, but an irreplaceable hub in a grand blueprint that connects the upper and lower levels.

Zheng Weihong firmly believes that he is not wrong, because data will not lie and time can prove everything.

In the near future, or in a dozen or twenty years, he will witness with his own eyes a new super business empire that is powerful enough to change the underlying logic of the economy.

Temasek can wait, and he has plenty of time to wait.

But no one else would know except Li Zehua himself.

Time will play a big joke on everyone.

Because the era of mobile intelligence has quietly arrived, it will completely change all aspects of human society and reshape the economic model almost from scratch.

It is no exaggeration to say that whoever misses the mobile terminal will lose everything...

After a brief opening statement.

Zheng Weihong directly continued to discuss the topic he had previously discussed with Wu Yibin.

"I came to Hong Kong to see you this time mainly to figure out a problem.

What a great existence Qingyun's future will be in Mr. Li's imagination.

It is worth it for you to give up your extraordinary talents in the financial market and willingly turn to the real economy layout.

There is no need to explain to young people. In my opinion, Qingyun’s current business layout is all biased towards entities.

No matter what you wear on the outside, it cannot hide your essence.

Others start an Internet business in order to go public and raise money, but you are completely different, doing takeout, express delivery, and online shopping.

No Internet company that engages in capital operations would recruit four or five thousand people at the beginning and focus on providing services.

Add to that the smartphone manufacturing you'd expect, the internet and instant messaging, and everything seems to be pointing to one goal."

He said a lot in one breath, but Li Zehua only understood one meaning.

"That's right, from the beginning to the end, including Pinxixi, it has only revolved around one core.

That is the value of existence.”

Young people should have the vigor of youth. Li Zehua is not afraid of the other party's identity at all, even if it is his big financial backer.

He needs capital empowerment, but he never believes in capital itself. It is just a means for him to realize his plans.

“A lot of people actually have misunderstandings about the Chinese market, and they always think they are being rude and label us at will.

Things like blood and sweat factories, low-end manufacturing, price dumping and so on.

It doesn’t matter, because our country has never forgotten that eating is the most important thing.

Only if you survive first, you are qualified to talk about other things.

A big country with a population of 13 billion can be without finance, capital, or even the service industry.

But it cannot be without agriculture and industry, which are the foundation for the country's development and growth."

He looked at the night view of Victoria Harbour outside the window, his words full of sarcasm, "The reason why I put on the cloak of the Internet is that I need to cater to capital in the early stage.

Isn’t this exactly what you need?”

Zheng Weihong agreed and said, "Go on."

"The entire Qingyun industry ecosystem has taken shape with the development of Pinxixi e-commerce.

Just as I told Mr. Wu Yibin, once the national promotion plan is implemented smoothly, we will soon have unparalleled influence.

This invisible and intangible core value will gradually influence and bind the fate of millions of people.

Take-out is the beginning; restaurant chain plans and raw material supply systems are another powerful tool for penetrating into the vast rural areas.

It means endowment, a basic distribution model of social wealth.

Only by ensuring that millions of people in rural areas have sustainable channels for monetizing resources can a complete small peasant economic cycle be established.

Only when they have sufficient purchasing power in their pockets can such a complete economic cycle model be fully established.

Pinxixi is a channel platform that can quickly monetize industrial output, and it is just one of the core components.

Through it, we can also influence thousands of manufacturing plants and establish our own industrial supply system.

Integrating unified resource allocation and sharing will greatly improve production efficiency and gradually gain a leading edge in global competition.

Hummingbirds are networks and the main arteries of transportation.

With these three approaches, Qingyun's business ecosystem will be built up bit by bit.

As long as you can successfully persist and achieve the first internal cycle, it will grow stronger with the passage of time.

Until it grows into a giant that no one can ignore!"

“What a brilliant speech.”

Zheng Hongwei smiled and clapped, "So you chose to let Liu Zijie contact us first.

I have to admire your courage and carefulness.

It is difficult for the capital within China to have the patience to accompany such a long-term investment project to grow together.

As for British and American capital, once they know your plan, there is almost no need for them to think twice and they will try every possible means to strangle your attempt in the cradle.

Only if we can get the best of both worlds and gain their tacit approval can we support you in achieving this great ideal.

Sometimes I really think you are a lunatic!
Just with the talents you have shown so far, you can actually live a good life. Even if you can't become a regular on Forbes, you can still live better than 99% of ordinary people.

So why choose such a difficult path?"

"No reason, I just want the place where I live to be better."

Li Zehua didn't tell the truth. Should he tell him that he wanted to do something to prove himself because he had a second chance in life?
It is the standard for rebirth. If you don’t change the world, you will not be worthy of the title of a reborn person.

Zheng Weihong was stunned. "Is it that simple?"

"It's that simple!"

"It's a good thing for young people to have ideals. I was young once too." He seemed to be touched by something, and after thinking for a while, he said:

"If this were a college class, I would admire your ideals very much and offer you worthless encouragement and praise.

But this is the real world, and even you and I must abide by the existing rules.

The simplest truth is, can you imagine 1.3 billion people living with the living standards of a developed society like America?
The resources required are beyond the reach of even the combined efforts of the entire world.”

"If you don't try, how do you know it won't work?"

Li Zehua sneered, pointed at his nose and said loudly:

"For example, when I was a kid, I never had a full meal, and my dream at that time was to have meat to eat.

But today, I can even eat any delicacies from all over the world at any time, freeing myself from simple material pursuits.

I am always thinking.

Why must we stay in the lower-middle level of the world economic system?
In terms of diligence, hard work, and intelligence, we will not lose to any country. Let's compete fairly.

We can even single-handedly defeat most alliances in the world."

Zheng Weihong was not surprised by this. He had seen too many young talents in his life, and many of them were more radical than Li Zehua.

But without exception, they all compromised with reality in the end, and in his opinion, the one in front of him would be no exception.

Based on the promising future of Qingyun Group, he patiently explained:

“It’s a good thing to have this determination, but the reality is cruel!
Whether in energy, technology, finance, currency, agriculture, or military, the advantages of Europe and the United States are obvious.

Even Lijiaopo can only be in the second echelon at present. Of course, this is meaningless. The almost negligible size is insignificant.

That is why we choose to invest overseas, relying on our common origin with China to continuously expand our influence.

But the rules are made by others, and we must abide by the rules of the game.

At the very least, one must learn to endure and compromise before one's own strength grows strong enough to challenge the existing system.

This is the art of survival!"

"There is no point in blindly compromising!"

The word "give up" has never appeared in Li Zehua's life dictionary.

“Energy, just like my investment in BYD, batteries are our best choice at the moment!

The biggest purpose of my visit to Hong Kong this time is to reach an agreement with Temasek. I want to use the future of Qingyun Group to take the initiative. "

“You seem very optimistic about this.

Just like what Huaxia has repeatedly emphasized in public, developing new energy to replace traditional energy has a special status in economic development? "

Zheng Weihong knows a lot about the strategies of various countries, especially major powers.

Temasek think tank employs a large number of professional economists and experts in related fields who are always ready to provide analytical reports.

The whole world can see China's determination to develop the new energy industry.

However, it seems that the effect is just so-so at the moment, and there is no revolutionary achievement to speak of.

Moreover, since the beginning of this year, BYD, represented by new energy research and development, has experienced sharp rise and fall in its stock price in Hong Kong.

There is no need to think about it, it is British and American capital that is dominating everything.

The investment strategy of Warren Buffett, the stock god, is always based on correct judgment of the international situation and early planning for harvest.

He himself is involved in policy making.

There is no such thing as a god of investment.

The Inside God is more appropriate.

This is also the essence of financial market operations. A very small number of groups that control core resources take advantage of the advantages of making rules and can harvest leeks one after another accurately and in a targeted manner at any time.

The background of deindustrialization and globalization is nothing more than the discovery that the financial sickle has become sharper.

"Never underestimate the determination of 13 billion hardworking and intelligent people who are eager to get rid of poverty and live a happy life!"

Li Zehua said calmly, "Just like the employees of Chimo, Fengniao, and Pinxixi who are working hard and want to change their destiny.

If you didn’t believe we could succeed, why would you place a bet in advance?”

His question made Zheng Weihong feel quite uncomfortable.

Because this is the most embarrassing thing about Temasek. It hopes that a great country will rise and lead its fellow countrymen to soar together.
It was forced to compromise based on reality, and indecision was the key to its repeated jumps during this period.

"Maybe we can take it step by step."

Li Zehua struck while the iron was hot and said, "As for energy and agriculture, as long as the major problems are solved, the rest can be caught up slowly."

Zheng Weihong responded subconsciously: "What do you want to do?"

“New energy is destined to rise, this is my absolute confidence in the country!
I would like to implore Temasek to make early arrangements around the world in the name of Temasek, such as lithium mines in Southeast Asia, South America, Australia, and the United States.

While the price is still reasonable, buy shares in advance.

I will do my best to gather the funds needed. It may only take one or two years. With the speed of Qingyun Group's business development, we will be able to provide enough collateral."

This question had troubled him for a long time, but he never had a good opportunity to speak it out.

Lithium ore is the key to the development of new energy.

In the previous life, it had always been controlled by British and American capital and became one of the means used to manipulate it.

Whether batteries can be considered as new energy sources has been the subject of much controversy in later generations, and various shortcomings have been exposed under a magnifying glass.

But they have never thought about one thing: a great country can never pin its hopes on the empty promises of its opponents.

This opponent in particular is known for harvesting his allies and is a cold-blooded killer who believes in the law of the jungle.

Zheng Hongwei instantly realized that this was a great opportunity to get involved in the Qingyun system.

Lin Wenhui had mentioned it before, but Li Zehua rejected it without hesitation. The delay was a silent protest.

Both parties are aware that at this point, the future of Qingyun’s parent company, which is about to open up its business ecosystem, is limitless.

Li Zehua is unwilling to sell the group's shares at a low price, and Temasek is always watching, waiting for an opportunity to pounce and acquire shares so that both parties can share the benefits.

So when Li Zehua guaranteed the loan in his personal name, Temasek was working silently behind the scenes and took the initiative to clear all obstacles for him.

Otherwise, how could a company that is not listed and is still in the loss-making stage easily borrow 3.5 million yuan from the bank.

How could Pinduoduo, a company that is still in the preparation stage and has not actually started operations, possibly obtain an additional credit line of 100 million yuan from ICBC?

Even if the local government in Shanghai is pushing for it, such matters would usually take a month or so to go through, and then be rejected with ready-made reasons such as high risk.

You will be required to provide the necessary materials and guarantees, and collateral is a must. Even if a big shot with enough influence comes to your rescue, the application amount will be greatly discounted.

But what Temasek did not expect was that not only did Li Zehua not fall into an expansion crisis because of this, but he also came up with a battery replacement plan.

On the right, Pinxixi has 3,000 experience stores to develop the market, and Chimome Hummingbird has followed suit in a big way.

This caught Temasek off guard.

After urgent research, they discovered that this thing actually miraculously worked.

First of all, there is a real demand for hummingbirds. Once the battery replacement plan is released, a vast market immediately emerges.

At the beginning, Temasek was still discussing how to promote and implement this plan, but artificially setting up obstacles further deepened the financial risks of Tsing Yun Group.

As long as BYD's expansion progress is not satisfactory, Temasek will jump out to take action, and they can even contact lending banks to withdraw loans.

Everything is for the control of Qingyun Group!
But I didn't expect Pinduoduo to become so big that several major military governorates recruited so many rehabilitation personnel from all over the country within a few days.

This made Temasek feel like it was biting a turtle shell, with no way to start eating.

This damn thing is getting anxious now as it sees that its strategy to bring down Qingyun Group is failing.

Li Zehua personally promised to use Qingyun Group as a guarantee in exchange for Temasek's early investment in lithium ore.

Zheng Weihong made a prompt decision without much consideration:
"As long as Mr. Li is willing to sign and pledge, we are willing to accept the pledge of Qingyun Group's shares at the price of our first investment."

"Not in a hurry."

Li Zehua was also weighing the risks. It would definitely not be cost-effective to pledge the shares at this time. It would be better to wait until the end of the year when the strategies of the three major groups have achieved initial success before discussing this issue.

“The acquisition of lithium ore mineral resources requires a long process of organizing a team to conduct investigations, negotiations, and finally reaching an agreement.

How about this, I will first sign a draft agreement on behalf of Qingyun Group.

Temasek has reached an agreement with the US to acquire a lithium ore mine. In addition to the corresponding investment, Qingyun will also pay Temasek a part of the fee, okay? (End of this chapter)
