"Chairman, are you still worried about Yanjing?"
On the plane, Guo Xinyi, who had finished finishing the work for the travel group, summarized his recent work content, "Yesterday I met with Kaiyue Law Firm to discuss responding to the lawsuit.
The other party has integrated information from all aspects and made the most professional judgment. The so-called malicious competition is untenable.
The only issues involving patent licensing and disputes will become the focus of attack by the other party. In the past, Qingyun Map and its friendly companies have mutually authorized and jointly developed many projects.
With the free strategy gone, the basis for cooperation no longer exists.”
Guo Xinyi seemed worried about this and was concerned about the future of the map navigation business.
Li Zehua was dismissive, "Xiao Guo, you are still looking at the problem too one-sidedly, or you are not looking at the problem from the overall perspective and with a developmental perspective.
What are you afraid of when it comes to technology patent disputes?
Behind map navigation, it is ultimately a dispute over the core interests of major countries over whether to use GPS or Beidou navigation for commercial maps.
Although more than a dozen companies seem to be banding together in an aggressive manner, in fact, none of them can win.
Even if the case is ruled as lost, what can it do? Producing evidence and cross-examination requires a long process. What is the role of group legal affairs?
If you can't win, just delay it. Time will dilute everything!
If you lose the first instance, you can appeal. There is still the Supreme Court. You can fight indefinitely. After one or two years, you can come back and see where your competitors are. "
If the free strategy is implemented, competitors may not dare to follow, because this is not the era when smartphones are widely available and individual users number in the tens of millions.
High-precision personal services, information storage, professional-grade surveying and mapping equipment technology research and development and production, and Internet hardware and software investment, each one is a bottomless pit.
After investing hundreds of millions, not even a single wave is created. Without expected returns, would you dare to follow the lead?
Bat has not noticed it yet, or has noticed it but has not taken it seriously because the investment cycle is too long and the return is nowhere in sight.
The most crucial thing is that they do not have a decision maker like Li Zehua who came back from the future.
Even if there are a few far-sighted geniuses who can see the future development trajectory of map travel, he cannot make the final decision!
This is the biggest advantage of the time traveler. He goes straight to the destination from the beginning, saving the complicated argumentation time and trial and error costs in the middle.
As the absolute controlling shareholder of the group, he has a veto power and can concentrate almost all resources towards one goal.
Whoever holds you back will be eliminated!
Anyone with a bit of common sense knows that even if you are doing business together, there must be someone who can make the final decision at the critical moment!
The so-called training of group executives to have independent thinking and to be able to actively and proactively develop new businesses and new markets for the company is a false proposition!
Which boss can let a branch manager decide on an investment project worth hundreds of millions of dollars?
Who would allow a president to secretly formulate a strategic plan for future development without the company's knowledge?
Then why be a boss? Why not be an investor, just sit back and wait to collect the money?
Professional managers are good, but don't go from one extreme to another.
In this world, unless the boss himself is mentally retarded, who can tolerate the company's dominant decision-making power falling into the hands of others?
What are all those professional staff, senior executives of large companies, and consultants used for?
The ancients said that only fame and status cannot be delegated to others!
Having a bunch of management who are not on the same page as you and who are engaged in internal strife and bickering every day will only waste the limited resources that are already available.
Li Zehua never overestimated his abilities. When he was alive, he could ensure that the business was run according to his own ideas, which was a blessing in disguise.
Still care about after death?
What a big joke!
He can’t even decide where to be buried after his death, and yet he still fantasizes that the successor of Qingyun Group will be able to continue according to his development plan?
"After I die, I won't care about the flood!"
Muttering to himself, Li Zehua continued, "Look at how happy they are now. In a few months, the entire in-car navigation market will be eaten up by Qingyun.
If nothing is left, these companies will be left with nothing but losses. They will then be left with two options: either go bankrupt and be acquired, or rely on financial support from the investors behind them to survive.
Who would care about patent infringement by a company that doesn't even have a market share? At most, they can just pay a few hundred thousand dollars to get rid of it."
Patent authorization also depends on the actual losses caused. If a company that doesn’t even have a main business keeps talking about losses of hundreds of millions, who will care about you?
Guo Xinyi was convinced, "Chairman, you are really far-sighted. With your sky to protect us from the wind and rain, we can work with peace of mind..."
"Stop the flattery."
Mr. Li accepted the flattery with a clear conscience, but on the surface he had to pretend to be humble, feeling very happy.
"By the way, what about the matter I asked you to inquire about?"
Guo Xinyi's face changed, damn it!
"I found out that Mr. Zhou Wanhao just came back from France after receiving his doctorate degree. He is currently interning at Excelle. Fangyuan Law Firm in Shanghai has invited him and he is said to be very eager to go.
But his father wouldn't let him go, and when I went to the law firm, he happened to be out meeting a client, so I didn't see him."
As he spoke, sweat began to form on his forehead.
The first-class cabin attendant's service quality was quite good. She just happened to walk over and saw me, squatted down and asked patiently: "Sir, are you feeling unwell?"
"it's okay no problem."
Guo Xinyi lowered his head, not daring to look his boss in the eye.
The flight attendant looked at him suspiciously, then saw the handsome young man next to her waving at her, and then she gave up, but did not move too far away.
He also took towels from the service desk and was ready to provide service at any time.
He regretted it so much in his heart. He should have done all the official business, but he didn't do the personal matter that his boss asked him to do right the first time.
Damn it!
"It's okay. If you miss it, you can still see me next time."
After saying this, Li Zehua turned his head and looked out the window, as if he was thinking about something.
Guo Xinyi hesitated, but didn't know what to say...
"I will never fly with this airline again. I can't even upgrade my cabin class."
When getting off the plane, Prince Wang was cursing. No matter how rich a person is (his father's), it would not be pleasant to fly in economy class and squeeze with others.
Look, he has already started complaining on his newly registered Weibo account, smearing a certain airline from the inside out.
Li, the instigator, did not tolerate him at all and asked, "Do you have someone to pick you up, or do you want to take a taxi to the hotel?"
"No, where's your company car?"
Wang Sicong was dumbfounded. Since when does Master Wang have to take a taxi when going out?
I can't afford to lose that person!
"I'm sorry, the Yuqing branch is small and has no budget for purchasing a special car at the moment."
After leaving the terminal, Guo Xinyi greeted the branch company and Longfor Group's airport reception staff from afar. The latter did arrange a special car for pick-up, but there was not much space.
Well, there are 7 people in the chairman’s office for the itinerary briefing, including the boss, 3 assistants, and 4 bodyguards.
In addition to the branch office staff, there were also property and property company managers who flew in from Shanghai specifically to pick us up at the airport, so there were not many empty seats in the car.
There was no place reserved for Wang Sicong and his female companion.
Li Zehua saw his face turn black instantly, and wanted to take a photo with his camera, but he said: "Let others squeeze in and make room for you."
"No need, I'll have someone pick me up!"
Wang Sicong gritted his teeth and refused to give in. Yida also had a project in Yuqing, so he immediately took out his cell phone and called.
Li Zehua smiled and said, "It's up to you. I'll go to Longhu to sign the contract first."
Guo Xinyi was sensible. He arranged for two big men to stay and help him carry his luggage, and then he got into the car and left.
Prince Wang said angrily, "What the hell, is it so great to have a special car to pick you up?"
He completely forgot Wang Jianning's instructions when he came here, and followed Li Zehua himself to find out the details of the negotiations with Longfor.
Oh my god, I lost him at the airport.
By the time Yida's special car took him to Longfor Group, the signing ceremony between the two companies was almost over.
Whenever two companies discuss cooperation, the boss is always the last to come forward.
The details of the early stage of cooperation are all coordinated by the management, who will put forward their own conditions. When the negotiations are almost done, they will take them back to the boss for approval. If they feel they are at a disadvantage, they will add some chips and continue the discussion.
If the other company recognizes the new bargaining chips, it will make concessions. If it does not, it will drag it out until the interests of the two companies are aligned and the cooperation is concluded.
For Longfor, Qingyun Group is a very good partner because the latter, together with Temasek and Magic Investment, publicly supported Longfor's listing in Hong Kong.
Temasek, in particular, is very optimistic about Longfor's future development. Historically, it has invested in five companies, including Bank of China Hong Kong, Temasek, Ping An, Li Ka Shing Equity Investment, and Hong Kong Land.
Temasek Holdings Limited (TEH) was allocated 5480 million shares of Longfor Holdings Limited (with a lock-up period and the ability to subscribe for preferred shares), with a total of approximately HK$7.07 million, at a price of HK$3.9. Now, due to the public involvement of Qingyun Group, the two parties have a large enough common interest in the rental of employee property units and apartment businesses required for the future development of the group.
After all, it involves the vital interests of millions of city employees in the future, so we cannot be careless and must plan ahead to avoid huge hidden dangers in the future.
In addition, in the commercial plaza project, Qingyun Group offered an olive branch of joint investment, development and management. After Wu Yajun personally reviewed all the details of the cooperation, he readily agreed!
There is no reason not to make money. The Qingyun Group’s trump card is displayed openly without any special purpose.
The real estate company developed residential and apartment projects, and the Qingyun Group later purchased the entire building. Both parties jointly operated and managed the project, just like a money-spending boy!
Wu Yajun was almost overwhelmed by the joy of having a pie in the sky, but luckily her elder sister was knowledgeable and experienced, so she just had to be happy in private.
It’s really hard for a bunch of retail investors!
The cake is so big, there’s not enough to share!
The listing of Longfor was a major event in Chongqing. Countless local bosses were busy applying for Hong Kong and Macau Passes just to go to Hong Kong to open accounts and buy new shares.
The scale of locked-up funds far exceeds 10 billion US dollars, and it is not easy for retail investors to win the lottery.
Now that Qingyun Group has entered the market in a strong manner, a new batch of investors have come in.
Everyone waved the money in their hands, clamoring that they must not miss this feast of wealth appreciation.
Wow, billions of new funds entered the market in an instant, and the unit is US dollars.
This has confused local investors in Hong Kong. What is the background of Longfor and why are so many people chasing after it?
At first glance, wow~ it is still the most popular real estate company, and its future prospects are as high as five stars, so why not buy it with your eyes closed!
The scale of Longfor's public fundraising is tentatively set at approximately HK$70 billion, accounting for approximately 20% of the total shares issued.
Now the Qingyun Group is trying to force its way into the market using orders involving tens of millions of people, and is also following behind to get free food and drinks from the Magic Investment Group.
Therefore, Longfor Group urgently revised the scale of its IPO fundraising and submitted necessary explanatory documents to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
This is great news for the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. If you are in the business of commercial apartment rental and management, you now have a super large customer providing stable orders, which is very stable.
Upon checking, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange was also shocked!
Pinxixi E-commerce Group is actually a wholly-owned subsidiary of Qingyun Group?
Temasek is its largest external shareholder and has even issued more than one billion US dollars of bonds for it in Lee Ka Po?
It didn’t even enter the public fundraising stage, and was completely subscribed by internal institutions?
That’s okay!
As per the usual practice, we asked Qingyun Group for additional information and focused on consulting on the necessity of the cooperative business. The Hong Kong Stock Exchange happily approved the deal. After all, the more funds raised, the higher the handling fees.
Who can say no to making money reasonably and legally?
Only some people regretted it so much that they sent people to contact us without stopping, with just one question: Mr. Wu, is it too late to get on the bus now?
I’ll offer eight, nine, or ten dollars!
One price, 11.88. If you want to send it, send it together.
Give us a chance, let’s make friends!
Then he turned around and told Qingyun Group that the people in Lijiaopo were charging very high fees for raising funds, so don't be fooled.
We are all family, so come to Hong Kong and issue a special bond for Pinxixi. If that doesn’t work, Qingyun Real Estate can develop commercial real estate projects and also issue bonds.
Fill in the numbers at will.
The handling fee is negotiable. Anyway, just come. We Hong Kong people are very hospitable...
In the last two months before its IPO, Longfor Group revised its prospectus three times. The final prospectus showed that the company was actively coordinating with its friendly competitor (Qingyun).
We are preparing to get involved in commercial real estate development projects in Xingcheng, Modu and Wuxi, with a total investment of over 100 billion yuan. Then we will talk about a lot of professional terms like investment, returns, etc.
The price has quietly increased from the initial 7.07 yuan to 9.98 yuan per share.
In a word: a bright future!
Many well-known investment banks and financial institutions have raised Longfor’s ratings, recommended it, and expressed long-term bullishness, which has attracted a lot of attention.
Wu Yajun was not stingy either. With the involvement of Qingyun Group, the original HK$70 billion in fundraising was increased to over billion as expected, and the shares she paid for were also reduced accordingly.
Although Qingyun, Magic Investment and Temasek will have to publicly issue additional shares of no less than 10% of the total shares after the listing, Qingyun and Magic Investment will also be allocated 5500 million preferred shares before the listing.
But compared to the long-term stable returns, these efforts are worth it...
"So, Yida got nothing?"
Wang Sicong, who arrived late, was stunned and watched Wu Yajun and Li Zehua shaking hands. As the signing ceremony came to an end, Longfor Group and Qingyun Group officially reached a strategic cooperation.
He had no idea what the inside story was.
All we know is that the Xingcheng Yida Plaza project will have a new partner and a commercial apartment project covering an area of 260 million square meters.
"No, you have my friendship."
Li Zehua smiled, "Isn't this enough?"
Wang Sicong is almost going crazy. Is this the most realistic side of a businessman?
He employs people at first but abandons them afterwards. He was flirting with Yida the day before and now he has a new love, without even giving a reasonable explanation?
I was very angry, but I didn't dare to turn against him.
"Really boring."
Li Zehua pursed his lips and said, "Forget it, I won't tease you anymore.
Your father knows about this. How could such a big project be taken over by just one or two companies?
Of course, we need to win over enough allies. Next, a friend with enough strength in Hunan Province will join us."
Originally, the Xingcheng Yida project was only over 100 million square meters, with an investment of no more than 11 billion yuan. That was years later, when prices had risen again.
Now, with an area of 260 million square meters and an investment of over 300 billion yuan, the other side of the May Day business district has been completely demolished and rebuilt.
Aiming to build the largest commercial building complex in Central China, how could it be possible without the support of local super-powerful forces?
Although Wang Sicong is also a director of Yida, his mind is not there at all and he doesn't know much about the inside story.
But that doesn't stop Li Zehua from controlling him.
As a prince, he loves beauties and has a strong desire to perform. With the resources of Yida cinema chain, it is most suitable for him to work in the entertainment industry.
Then, he proposed video websites, online movies, and the grand entertainment strategy, which stunned Wang Sicong.
“Is this Youku Video project, which is about transferring to the mobile Internet and also providing game live streaming, going to be successful?”
In fact, I was very moved and my expression was very struggling.
“Of course there is a future!”
Li Zehua really didn't lie to him. He certainly wouldn't give up the short video platform, but he wouldn't let go of the seafood and wild beasts national treasure channel on the live broadcast app.
But in 09, the biggest problems facing video websites were the investment in servers for storing videos, concerns about future copyrights, and the lack of infrastructure and traffic for 2G-3G networks.
Before 4G, watching live videos anytime and anywhere was crazy. Even if you had a house at home, it was not enough to pay for the data traffic.
Therefore, in the early stage of Douyin, in the group's strategic planning, it also took the path of a video website, and it was not until around 11 that it began to transform.
As for 4G, he is confident that it can be implemented ahead of schedule, as the conditions are in place and the country also strongly supports it (many patents for the 3G standard are not available in China, and the cost of large-scale promotion is not cost-effective).
It is a good time to get Wang Sicong involved in advance. Regardless of whether it is called Panda in the future, there will always be a strategic foothold in the live broadcast app track that can be supported.
Tengda doesn’t allow?
Qingyun supports!
Young Master Wang had no time to care about the commercial real estate cooperation plan, and even ignored the invitation to a banquet proposed by the host Wu Yajun.
Focus on asking about the details of the cooperation.
"Don't you have Yanjing Sipu Investment under your name? Qingyun Group can cooperate with the preliminary market research in its name.
Our goal is not the computer side, but the future smartphone side. If we seize the opportunity, it is not a dream to achieve a market value of 100 billion in the future!"
There is no mention of how big the investment is, or how many pitfalls there were in the past two years. Anyway, just take your time, the future is bright, but the road is tortuous.
As long as they keep doing it, Panda Interactive Entertainment can at worst become like Q3 or Kuaishou, and become an indispensable part of the Qingyun system.
Well, in the early stage he will also invest in his personal name, take the opportunity to complete the interest bundling, and bring in Yida to complete the overall strategy of Qingyun Real Estate.
For live streaming platforms, the upper limit is there, and it would be amazing if the real daily active volume can exceed 30 million.
And TikTok, with its global strategy, is at least a billion-level super giant.
“Well, with the $12.5 billion raised in Lijiapo this time, the overseas version of WeChat and the overseas version of smartphone manufacturing business can finally start smoothly.”
Li Zehua nonchalantly responded to Prince Wang's question while going over the WeChat strategy in his mind, "1-2 dollars for a pre-installed device.
Cooperate with powerful telecommunications companies in various countries for mutual benefit and see if we can create a time difference and establish a solid base in East Asia and Southeast Asia before the giants.
Well, a video call with free text messaging is a good gimmick. " (End of this chapter)
